Washington Post: "It is not right," said an Ohio Democratic Congress man to a Southern Democratic Sena tor last evening, "it is not a fair thing at all, in my opinion, to attempt to set up any tariff question as a test of loyalty to party. I believe I am just as good a Democrat as Morrison, Carlisle, Mills Hurd or any of the re formers, but 1 can't vote for the Mor rison bill without making enemies of many strong and influential Demo crats in my distrist. If my defeat, personally, were the only thing to be feared I might stretch myself on the altar for the sake of peace, but if I go for this bill a Republican will be elected in my place next fall. You see, therefore, that there is a good deal at stake on my course at this crisis. Am I not a better Democrat in deciding to oppose the bill and save my district to the party than I would be in voting for the bill and handing my district over to the Republicans?" Having said this the Ohio statesman passed with the self satisfied air of one who feels that his position is im pregnablea regular political Gibral tar. This Ohio Congressman took a sensible, level headed, common sense view of the question. He represents a constituency which favors protec tion and is opposed to the Morrison scheme of reduction. Could he con sistently vote for such a measure and claim to represent the people of his district? As a representative, is not his first duty to them? If they de-" manded from him the support of measures which his judgment or con science could not endorse, he lias the privilege of resigning and giving them the opportunity to choose a rep resentative more in accord with their ideas on questions in which they are interested. In voting on measures of this kind the member of Congress is not supposed to vote simply in at cordance with his own individual opinions, but in accordance' with the opinions and wishes of the people who elect him. On this ground the demand for tariff reform is made. It is alleged that the people want it, and consequently the rep resentatives from States and districts where the people Wont it, m compliance with that demand, urge it. They simply obey the voice of their people, as the Ohio representative above alluded to obeys the voice of his. Both act from the same motive and both are gov erned by the same influence. With the diversity of interests affected by the tariff it is to a great extent a local question, opinions for and against it being influenced by local considera tions. Get down to the bottom of it, it is simply a dollar and cent ques tion with the people interested, and they whom the tariff benefits will favor it and they whom it injures will oppose it, both favor and oppose on the ground of self interest which in matters involving dollars and cents is, after all, in ninety-nine cases out ef a hundred, the main spring of ac tion, when no moral question is in -volved. The consumer wants a low tariff because he believes it will cheapen the articles he needs; the producers wants a high tariff because it will give him a better price for what he has to sell, and thus each seeks his own interest. This is the root of the whole question cut down and stripped of its verbiage. Of course there are questions incidental ly connected with it, furnishing argu ments pro and con, in which the public at large are interested, whether consumers or producers. But it will be found that in their actions on mat ters of this kind, when business in terests are involved, communities will be found supporting that sid e f the question which they believe best promotes those interests. Mayor Lamb, of Norfolk, Va., and Chief of Police Zachary had a fisti cufl on the street last Wednesday, and both parties were arrested and bound over to keep the peace. Lamb called Zachary a liar for a published statement alleging that Lamb was protecting thieves and gamblers, when Zachary slapped him in the face and they hitched, punching each other mutually until separated by bystanders. Mr. Robert Dixon, M. P., of Aus tralia, said recently in New York: "It may interest Americans to know that whereas formerly we were whol ly dependent on this country for supplies of tobacco, the two largest colonies are annually growing larger quantities, and that Victoria, the most populous colony, already pro duces enough to supply all her own wants."

District Attorney Melton, of South Carolina, gives notice through the press that the cases for violation of the election laws now pending will not be taken up at the ensuing term of court. About 2,500 people rush into the rotunda of the Astor House every day, eat as fast as they can and then rush out again. This is a bad habit of business men in every city, and yet they wonder what gives them the dyspepsia. An electric machine is on exhibition in Washington for taking the yeas and nays in Congress, which will do the work and record the votes in stantaneously, thus saving art hour or more of time when such vote is taken. A small Philadelphia boy concluded he would teach his little sister how to fly. He took her up on the second story porch, fastened a pair of wings to her arms, an open umbrella to her back, and told her to jump and flap her wings and she could glide along like a bird. She jumped and the re sult was a broken leg. Toe boy said it was all right, but the little goose forgot to flap her wings when ahe jumped. Poiatiae the Hay lar Themselves. Philadelphia Times. The Senate did a remarkable good day's work yesterday. It passed the Judicial salary bill, making the sal ary of all United States District Judges $5,000 per annum. Lawyers with brains and capacity sufficient to qualify them to be first-class Judges can earn more than that sum in the practice of their profession. As first class lawyers are necessary to make good Judges there should be some inducement besides the mere honor of the position to induce such men to aspire to judicial positions. Honor is good as far as it goes, but it won't pay rent or household ex penses. t The increase in salaries was not the only good thing contained in the hew bill. It prohibits the Judges from appointing to positions in their re spective couris any relative within the degree of first cousiD. It is ex ceedingly discretitable to the District Judiciary that such a restriction should be deemed necessary, but as the principle contained in this section has been repeatedly violated the Sen ate very properly inserted this clause. Nepotism should not be tolerated either in the Federal or State courts and if Judges lack the necessary per ception to see this for themselves they should be compelled to see it in the form of a plain statute. The Senators having done so well in showing the Judges the steep and thorny way to a public service free from scandal should proceed at once to travel that way themselves. The Senators should pass a self-denying ordinance of this kind at once. There are no greater public scandals existing at present than those which arise from the practice of this very sin by the Senators themselves. They have their sons, nephews, cous ins and aunts quartered on the public - treasury in various capacities. If all Senators were as big as they should be no such law would be necessary to protect them from the results of their own foolish ness, but as very small men get to be Senators nowadays a law of this kind is just as imperatively needed in their case as in that of the Judges Couldn't Back it Up. Merchant Traveller. A lawyer who had been "bully ragging" a witness for some time, at last got him down to personal questions. "Did I understand you to say, sir," he asked, "that the defendant made certain remarks about me ?" "1 said so, sir." "Ah, I thought so. Well, now, sir, I would like to, ask if he could substantiate those remarks ?" "No, sir; I don't think he could." "Ah, something libellous, I pre sume. Will you be kind enough to state to the court what he said ?" "Yes, sir; he said you were an honest and truthful man, and " "That's enough. Call the next witness," and the lawyer went into the jury room for a minute's relaxa tion without excitement. English Troops Embarking for Home. Suakim. March 28.

The Chicago National Convention Com mittee Wrangling Over the Place of Meeting Selected. There is a lively row in progress, under the surface, among the mem bers of the local committee in Chica go to make arrangements for the Re publican National Convention. Sen ator Sabin and the other members of the National Committee met here some days ago, and at a conference with the committee on the May festi- val, which closes a few days before the convention opens, learned that it proposed to fit up an auditorium in the exposition building with a seat ing capacity of 8,000, which it would turn over to the committee of the convention. This was deemed satis factory and a local committee of fif teen was appointed to make all nec essary arrangements. The national sub committee had scarcely got out side of the city limits when it was developed that the local committee was made up of the twelve Logan men, with "Long" Jones at their head, and three Blaine men, with ex Congressman Farwell at their head. Ever since then Long Jones has been going about declaiming and denoun cing the inadequacy of the arrange ments; that instead of room for 6,000 or 8,000 there must be room for 20, 000 people, as those who contribute towards paying the expenses cannot be excluded, and the delegates' friends and city officials must be provided for not to mention prominent politi cians all over the country. The Blaine men on the committee say there is room enough, and that the Logan men want more in order to pack with howlers for their chief. As the Logan men have three-quarters of the committee, it seems proba ble they will have their way about it. There is this difficulty in the way, however, the May festival people will not get through with the auditorium in time for it to be remodeled and enlarged before the convention will meet, and it is difficult to see how the extra room i3 to be secured unless a building is erected for this purpose, as there is none in the city large enough. HOW THE CHINESE AIM. Not Civilized Enough to Know the Use of tina-Sights. When the French troops made their fiist and unsuccessful advance on Sontay, says the Japan Gazette, some importance was attached by the spe cial correspondents of the English papers to the circumstance that the Black Flags apparently fired low. It was pointed out that most of the bullet-wounds received by the French soldiers were found in the legs and lower parts of their bodies. Of course the practice of firing low is one strongly urged upon the troops, a shower of bullet being much more effective if fired low, even if it strikes the ground in front of the advancing hostile forces, than it would be if sent into the air over the heads of the approaching -enemy. But we heard a rather interesting explana tion of the reason why! the Black Flags and their allies fire low ex pressed tbe other day by one who has had a great amount of experi ence with Chinese, troops. He said that the bulk of the Chinese had no idea of the use of the sights on the rifles, and it was almost useless to attempt to teach them the use of such contrivances. Thus, a Chinese soldier armed with a modern rifle would never think of raising the sight of his weapon when he wm called upon to use it, especially in the face of an enemy. He would fire at an objeet six hundred yards off with the sight down, the consequence being that the muzzle of the rifle not receiving the necessary elevation to carry the bullet over a long distance, the ball would strike or descend very close to :he ground before it reached its destination. It was also asserted that some of the Chinese soldiers actually knocked the sights off their riflas as being entirely useless. We need hardly say that the Chinese can never become effective soldiers until they appreciate the value of sighting their rifles; and the circumstances we have narrated will go as future proot of the miserable condition of the Chinese forces ; the supineness and incompetency of the officers, and the ill-prepared state of Chinese armies to resist European troops. Following the American Costam. From the Norwich (Conn.) Bulletin. A Chinese laundryman called in at a Norwich grocery store a day or two ago and asked for permission to ride to the West Side on the grocer's wagon. The grocer expressed his willingness to do so slight a fa,vor for him, and assured him he was welcome to the ride. The beaming face of the Chi naman showed a hearty acknowledg ment of the favor, which his tongue rattled out in pigeon English, "Dlink? "Dlink?" The grocer could not in terpret the salutation, and witness ing his confusion the laundryman stammered out: "Dlinkee whiskee?" The grocer then realized that the grateful Chinaman, in the generosity of his heart, wished to treat in recog nitian of the kindness, after the most approved American fashion. When he declined with thanks, a broad grin spread itself upon that oriental countenance, and "John" said: "Skusee! Skusee! I tinks all Meli can man blouves whiskee. But no knowee?"

Few Entirely Satisfied, but the Out. coine Hai mon y. Correspondence of The OnEKViiK. Washixutox. "March 2G, 1S71. It depends on the prejudices and predilections of the man talked "with to-day as to his opinions on the party conference of lust evening. There is substantial unity on the subject in the North Carolina delegation. But the Randall men in the Speaker con test retain as much as might be expected of their feeling that the pro- ?osed reform has been precipitated, hey will both support the bill with its caucus amendment repealing the tobacco and nearly wiping out the brandy tax, and do it cheerfully. Both Gen. Scales and Maj. Dowd have expressed themselves fully on the subject, recently. I talked with the latter yesterday, and with the former this afternoon. This morning early the straight Morrisonians were outraged by the Randallites last night in voting in such large numbers against the very mild resolution proposed as a means of bridging over the difficulty. But later in the day it was learned that such zealous reformers as Hurd and Cox were hopeful of making a better show in the House than in the caucus It was stated on excellent authority that Forney, of Alabama, one of the leading protectionists, had said that thirty gentlemen on the Democratic side could not be rallied against the bill. Other friends of Mr. Randall were chagrined at the result in the caucus. Altogether, while the atmos phere is murky, there is some indica tion of a coming sunburst for the rev enue reformers. The peace-maker stalked around pretty lively all yesterday. But he has been even more active to-day. Little knots of men belonging to both factions have been talking steadily on the floor, notwithstanding the pending whiskey bond bill is one of great interest. Randall, Blackburn and Morrison conversed earnestly for a long while, and apparently in fine feeling. Then, when the two latter walked off, John S. Wise and Dr. York engaged the ex Speaker's attention. Hewitt's speech this afternoon, which you will get by another chan nel, was not relished by the Republi cans. Although he gave his own friends some harp raps, they ap plauded his utterances to the echo, and Reed was not able with all his snarling insolence to break the shield of their perfect self poise. The solid massing of the Republi cans in favor of ultra protection is having its harmonizing effect upon Democrats. The situation has all along been critical, but behind this has been the certainty that the good sense of theleaders would find a means of extrication. Now as to personal matters. Mr. Will S. Roulhac, secretary of the Civil Service Commission, has been very ill here and in Richmond, Va. He is now in Hillsboro, improv ed. Senator Ransom is preparing a speech on the internal revenue sys tem, in which he will present an elaborate statement of its workings and advocate its total and immediate abolition. Maj. Dowd has suffered much this week from his throat, ono day hav ing been compelled to secure leave of absence. H. - - - - Death oi Victoria's Youngest Son. London, March 28.
