subsequently reducing to ten drops

—Another step in the general march
of railway consolidation has just been
taken in the pitting under a joint man
agement, of 4.500 miles of railroad con
necting St. Louis by a continuous route,
with the frontier of Mexico and the im
portant railway system now uuder con
struction in that country. In order to
utilize the large proposed expenditure
of American capital in Mexico two
things will be necessary. One of them
is a stable internal government, and the
other the abolitiou of the vexatious
Mexican tariff. Revolution may be
needful to bring this about, and the re
sult may be a practical annexation—in
a commercial point of view—to the
United Slates. Without reciprocal free-
t 1 ade between the two nations railroad
investments in Mexico will be little
short of worth'ess.

continual exposures of corruption in the
departments at Washington show
where the money goes to. The latest ex
posure in in the post office department,
where it seems the government has
beeu defrauded of several millions an
nually, by collusion between corrupt
officials and contractors in the letting
of distant mail routes, and the worst
feature of the whole business is that it
is shown that the corrupt officials have
friends among the members of both
branches of congress, of both parties,
who have undoubtedly shared in their
ill-gotten gains. This man Brady, who
has been invited to step down and out
of the 2nd Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral's office, has been in office for five
years, having been appointed by Grant, ,
under whose administration corruption
seemed to germinate and flourish like
bad weeds.
—The United States Supreme Court

' the facts that the number of cases is

continually passing laws which throw
new classes of cases into Court for final
; adjudication, that there are only six
' Judges fit for duty, while there are nine
circuits in which the Court must be
presided over by a Supreme Court Jus
tice—and a state of things is presented
which is its own argument for the ue
necessitv of some relief to a Court
which is all but swamped. The great
delay which is now unavoidable is a
practical denial of justice to many suit
ors, and causes great vexation and loss
to all the rest. The volume of busi
ness is so great that the Judges now
work from eight to twelve hours % day,
without being able to prevent the accu
mulation ot ca-es from increasing. Sev

( ! The convention of the school direc

Weir nnd Frank Eastman, Secretaries.
On motion, the roll was called and re

number 242. A motion was made and
cariied, that directors then al>se»t and
afterwards coming in should lie given
a change to vote at the end of each bal
lot. On motion the convention pro
ceeded to nominate, when the four

the convention proceeded to ballot, with

At the end of the 7th ballot the con

—The time available for equiping
the Mary and Helen, if she is to make
an Arctic journey this seasoD, is fast
running away, and work should soon
begin in order to strengthen her for
her The project was pushed
through Congress with little reflection.
The bill appropriating $175,000 was
urged by that venerable sailor, Mr. R
W. Thompson, reenforced by the experi
enced Arctic navigator, Major Goff.
The actual direction of the expedition
has fallen upon their worthy successor,
Judge Hunt. The Jeannette will not
be overdue for a year yet, and she
could not have been expected back last
winter unless she had made a ridiculous i
failure DeLong was fitted out for a i
voyage to last until the middle of the i
year 1882; hence the outcry raised at 1
Washington toward the close of the
year 1880 was rather premature. But 1
the erudition displayed by Messrs, 1
Thompson and Goff ou the subjects of i
cairns, ice floes, and pemniieau dazzled
Congress, and the search was ordered.
I'erhaps a f ter the Mary and Helen
has gone to search for the Jeannette,
it may bo thought necessary to send
another vessel in search of 1 he Mary and
Helen—that being one of the possible
penalties of dabbling in Arctic affairs.
—ln the House last Friday Ruddi
man read his report, which performance
occupied the attention of the members
about half an hour. The report attacks
the Attorney General for creating the
inquiry on which his opinion on the
legislative salary question is based and
tak< s issue with him on his interpreta
tion of the constitution, that it do"s not
empower the legislature to lix a per
diem compensation for members, quot
ing numerous opinions to s'rengthen
the position. The report claims that
the Supreme Court has laid down rules
which make it clear beyond all dispute
that a statute duly enacted and ap
proved cannot be safely disobeyed or
practically vetoed by a dash of the pen
of any public official aud that none but
a competent jurisdiction may venture
upon the reluctant i',nd delicate prov
ince of subjecting such a stalute to the
tests of adverse criticism and resistance.
The portion of the Attorney General's
opinion that the portion of the law fixing
the salary of a member at SI,OOO a
session can stand and the per diem
feature fall, is assailed as untenable.
Occasion is taken in several stages of
the report to sarcastically refer to the
Attorney General. It is claimed that
'the session is one, and entirety, from
the first Tuesday of January to the
hour of adjournment nine die ; the sala
ry is one, an entirety, of payment for
a continuity of official service.' The
report was almost unanimously adopt
ed and three thousand copies ordered to
be printed. The Attorney General
says the report is too ill-natured and
vindictive to be strong. In the Seuate
same day the judicial apportionment
bill was passed finally.

—Notwithstanding General Brady's
bold denial of any crookedness in the
Star route business ou the part of him
self or anybody else, it is difficult to see
how his allegation that the transactions
were all honest and straightforward can
be credited by any sensible man who
bas made himself familiar with the
facts already brought to light. His
card look- like what it very likely is-a
piece of audacious impudence It is not
| a new device for detected scoundrels to
1 traverse the charges agaiust them and
to interpose their own unsupported
i word against positive proofs of flagrant
I wrongdoing. 'A suspension of public
j judgment' is usually asked for in such
• cases. General Brady does not employ
j exactly this formula, but something
i equivalent to it is to be inferred from
; his statement and appeal,
j General JJrady should not have bean
I allowed to resign his position as See-
I ond As.-istant I'ostmaster-General. His
. resignation certainly outiht not to have
j been a.«ked, much less insisted on, if
; tlnre had been any probability that he
was innocent of criminality in connec
tion with the Star Route contracts, and
if there were ground.-, for believing him
guilty his resignation, even if volunta
rily tendered, should not have been ac
cepted. lit: should, on the other hand,
have been impeached for malfeasance in
office, with a view, in addition to the
punishment that might be awarded by
the ordinary Courts, to disqualifying
him ffofti holding and enjoying any of
! Bee of honor, trust or profit under the
j Uuited States. Mot only the Preai>
' dent "but all civil officers of the Uuited
I an* liable to removal from uf
fice on conviction for ar.d conviction of
treason, bribery, "or other high crimes
and misdemeanors."
When General Belknap was allowed
j to resign as Secretary of War the coun
try was justly indignant because he
was not impeached instead. Theoffiense
. of selling post traderships, of which he
was accused, was bv no means of so
enormous a character as the alleged ut
rageous frauds and robberies connected
with the Star Route business. Nor
were the facts developed in the expos
ure of the doings of the Whisky
by which the internal revenue was de
frauded of large sums, a particle worse, j
if indeed tbey were as bad. The rais- ;
ing of ninety-three contracts from a few
thousand to several millions of dollars
wa» not only a big steal but a direct |
one. It is silly to say there was no lire •
where there was so much smoke. The ;
Administration owes it to itself and to j
the law to investigate the whole matter j
• thoroughly, without regard to cost or
consequences. If high < fficers of tbe
. Government are found corruptly impli-
I cated in it the virtue of impeachment,
■ as provided by the constitution, should
;be brought to bear upon them. It was
! decided by the United States Senate t
| sitting as a Court of Impeachment in
| 1799, by a vote of 14 to 11, that a Scu
i a tor is not a civil i ffieer of the United
; States within the provision of ,he fourth
■ section of tbe second article of the C;>n
| stitution It might therefore be diffi
| cult, even if this decision is not regard
ed as final and irreversable, to deal with
! members of Consress iu this way. But
if any heads of departments, or chiefs
of bureaus are guilty—as has been
charged—an example might be advan
tageously made of them.
