No such order has ever beey contemplated, according to competent authority. Ourswift-tooted messengers of good and bad news may, therefore, Test in peace with the consoling reflection tuat the size and shape of their calyss are not to be Zaatters for public criticism. Thi3, tt is to be in- ferred, must have been the ehief ground for indig- nation, if any existed, since a particular style of ‘Uniform has already been prescribed ‘or them, the Sdvantages of which are obvious. A little sensitiveness om the point referred to, if Feally entertained, ts perhaps natural enough; Dut, all things considered, §t ought not to have any weight in considering the matter. Such ob- Jections as are usually urged against the proposed change in a general way seems to be based mainly om a vague idea that short breeches and long Stockings are somewhat effeminate, and adapted Tatber for dudes and esthetes than earnest and Iauscular men. This notion ts undoubtedly largely Gue to the fact that they were so unfortunate as to be affected by that apostle of asininity, Oscar ‘Wilde. Nothing, however, could be more mistaken than this view of the case. So far from being, either In appearance or adaptability, a suitable garment for the weak-minded and weak-Jointed Portion of the human family, the knickerbocker is the best style of man’s dress for walking and ordimary working ever conceived, and {f the letter carriers should once give {t a fair trial it fs quite safe to say that tney would not only thank the Person who suggested it, but they would stoutly Tesist any movement Intended to prevent them from continuing to wear 1 To this tenor 1s the uniform testimony of pedestrians, wheelmen, gunners,anglers, and, indeed,of everybody who has ever enjoyed tts advantages in out-door exercise, or even In ordinary Indoor use. With a thin stock- ing it 1s cooler in summer,and with a thick woolen Stocking and a eloth or leather gaiter it 1s warmer in winter, than the present style of trowsera. It 43 at ull times more comfortable, more cleanly, aud more convenient, than they, with the added ad- Vantage that {t is far more economical and more Gurable, costing less In the beginning, keeping tn betier order during service, and wearigg longer in the end. But for all this it is likely that the talked Of change will never be made, If not, however, it May be set down to the fact that the human family isocten more sensitive to shafts of ridicule than Coucsgeous In adopting a senstble and economical improvement on an article or custom sanctioned by long usage. aioe oO per According to all reports there has not been Such a gachering ot Onio democrats for many Years as the state convention, now in session at Columbus has called together. Never before in the history of the party was there such competi- tion for places In the delegations. The prominent leaders are all there, witb different axes to grind, ‘and some of them having purposes of a very con- Meting character. Senator Pendleton 1s on the Sound putting in all the work possible for Hondiey, but he 1s antagonized by ex-Senator ‘Thurman, who 1s bent upon beating Hoadley, jf that Is within his power, Thurman former Tight-hand man and most faithful leutenant, John G. Thompson, ts now enlisted with Pendle- ton and against his old leader. If the party can adjust all the conflicting views and Interests of its leaders and nominate a tieket that will com- Imand harmontous and cordial support, Its chances of carrying the state wili look more promising Than Just at present. Much depeni3 upon the spirit with which the disappointed ones accept their defeat. ee ‘The article by Gen. Charles P. Stone entitled |* “Woshington on the Eve of the War,” republished by Tue Stam to-day from the Century Magazine for July, 's an Interesting and valuable contribu- tion to the history of the rebellion. It is of espectal tmmportance as showing tiie patriotic and Iaaterial services of the District of Columbia vol- Unteers at the critical period when the secession- ists, through the al of Secretary Floyd, had or- &an:zed military companies here to sieze the national capital As Gen. Stone justly says, “the country has never properly appreciated the ser- Vices of those D.strict of Columbia volunteers.” It has been the fashion not only to underrate thelr Services, but also to characterize the people of the District as having been almost wholly disloyal at the outbreak of the rebellion. ‘This does gross in- Justice to the largely preponderant Union element im Washington that, In many other ways than those referred to by Gen. Stone, worked effective- Jy to sustain the government and to foil the plans Of the active and well-organized band of rebel conspirators plotting here for the possession of the seat of government. —~<<->___ Mr. Murch testifies that before he gave un stone- eutth@® for politics he was engaged and drew pay for one hundred and forty days’ work on a job Whieh he could have done tn forty or fifty days. ‘This ts interesting Intelligence to tax-payers, but iis not creditable to Mr. Mureh, even though he avers that he was following the directions of his Saperiors The time for him to make such an ex- posure was when the iniquity was in progress, &nd before the plunderers got away with their booty.
