opinion tbnt the speech of the United

the dinner of the Actors’Benefit Fund,

passionately, pathetically friendly—to
this country,” but says, “unfortunately
Hr. Bayard Is himself under a cloud as
regards the American public.”

Tan Wesinlblster Gasette says: "The
V Marquis of Salisbury has made a mis
'f taka in arguing that the Monroe doc
^ trine Is obsolete. It Is not so by any
y' means. It would most rightly apply
should European powsrsattempttoap
ply American doctrines to tbe Hinder
land of Africa. The first duty of those
defending England, is to explain and
insist that it is not the doctrine itself,
* but only its applicability to tbe present
question of boundaries, which is in dis
i puls."

rr^T* is officially announced that Con

to pledge its support to any man. Ne

to gubernatorial honors and we would

asking first choice.

* grammatical ooaatrnctioa of tba Jaw’i
prodootiona was a diaaaal failure. Iti
•b}act was unworthy* and its executioi
waa faarfal to behold. When a new*
/attampu any thing of' that kiad i
treads upon slippery and dangerous
ground and generally commits more
serious blunders than those at which it
laughs. Of course the Jew’s grammar
is excruciating, hut whose, at times, is
not? Newspaper writers realise that
they are not doing magazine work and
have no time to analyze, revise and re
construct sentences and articles. Errors
of this nature occur in every newspaper
from the great city daily to the most ob
scure country weekly and the man who
stoops to a column criticism on a mere
matter of orthography evinces pedantic
foolishness and a burning desire to an
nihilate space. The criticism in itself
might be forgiven If it were nicely done,
but the Sun smart aleck made an egre
gious ass of himself by employing
words and phrases that had absolutely
no meaning in the sense used. Pope did
not go much amiss when he wrote to
the effect that lots of people pose as
critics that nature meant as fools. The
Frontier does not defend illiteracy, it
condones a great human weakness.
A press dispatch of the 34th inat.
says: "There was a rather interesting
discussion in the senate today on the
bill introduced by Hill of New York to
repeal the statutes which forbid the em
ployment in the army or nary of the
United States of any person who, hav
ing held a commission therein, after
wards served in the confederate army.
There was no opposition manifested to
the provisions of the bill itself, but only
to passing it without its going through.
the regular form of being referred to
and considered by a committee. A mo
ttos for such reference was made by
Sherman, but subsequently withdrawn
and the bill was then passed. Chandler
was conspicuous in its advocacy, ex
pressing the hope that as the senate had
the other day without distinction of
party come to the support of a demo
cratic president when he announced
national principles in relation to Vene
zuela, so the senate would, with
out delay, without criticism, freely aud
generously pus this bill by the affirma
tive vote of every senator." There is
probably no question, without discuss
ing the motives of the man who intro
duced it, that the pusage of the bill
wh opportune. The law bad outlived
its usefulness, the danger against which
It guarded no longer exists. The idea of
secession is dim as a dream, the south is
loyal and as willing as the north to do
battle m a common cause.
