The loss of a million dollars a month ex cessive interest jBow - being paid is a fah charge pon the republican party.

Professor W. E. Hilgard, of the University of Cali fornia, who is preparing the report on cotton culture, is, he says, one of the moat intellectual and scientific men in the coun try. His theory of sods, at first scouted, is now received as the highest authority. The report on cotton culture prepared by him and his assistants, it is said, will bethe most important work ever issued from the government printing office, in the opinion of General Walker. . And yet we think it is a long way to go to get a work,, on cotton . culture. The people of Washington, D. C, are wrought up to a high state of indig nation in regard to the death of Mrs. J. W. Jett in that city. She went down to the ferry to go Alexandria, and was taken sick while waiting for the boat. She bad no attention in her sicknes? and lay in the . reception room from 11 a. m. to 9 p. m. without the least aid. When the police ambulance arrived on Monday night the , lady lay in a contracted position, her knees being, drawn up to her chin, and her " head being partly bent under her body. Her clothes' were in the most disordered state, and the whole scene was such as to ' show gross neglect.' The excuse that the l lady was intoxicated, which was not so, ' . will not vitiate the charge of neglect, as in that case it was the plain duty of the ferry officials to have notified the police . that they might have removed her to . the - station house. Instead of this, she was allowed to remain, for ten hours, suffering intense pain, and to die in a public paasage- a hard flopr, without a soul at hand td vmark her sumt take its flight. Ani this occurred in Washington. ; ' The Charleston Courier, having fought a good fight against duelling, and also,! helped along the temperance cause, now has a word to saj about gam Wimx. Hsays: "Tese were brave words Df Al derman Ecltel, at the meeting of the city council on Tuesday nht: 'As lpng as' the gambling houses were allowed ,o run with throojhnivance of the police, as long as lottery "shops were j allowed to ! keep open with the connivance of the pelice, and as long: as the Sunday laws were vio lated: with the connivance of the police, ho would not tote to punish a technical vio lation of any ordinance " The Courier then discusses the mattjer somewhat, and, supposing that the authorities doj not know where to look for the gambling sa- loons,. it points them out seriatim, desig nating each house in -which gambling is carried on in Charleston, according, tjo its information. After that the police: can hardly afford to wink their eyes aij the growing evil. j , On the firit day of the fight in the Senate over the election! of -officers, "Sena tor Maxey made a palpable hit. He; aid For years past the Congress, the press, the pulpit andjthe whole North had filltd the air. with ttfeir ihouts that the country was in danger Ibf ruination because of Confed erate brigadiers. He had. Been a Confeder ate brigadier taken to the yery arms bf the Republieatt party. This brigadier, on the yery floor of the Senate, turned to the Republicans, proclaimed! himself Demo crat, referred to his service in thel Con federate army, and said Jio had no apology to make for his course ; never had ' apolo gized, and never would. The Republi cans had nominated another ex-Con feder ate soldier for sergeant-at-anns. In his speech the other day ; Senator Mahone, when asked if he were a Democrat i or a Republican,' replied that he was a "Read juster." The Senator from Georgia did not seem to understand what a Readjuster was. but he Maxevt did. It was to re adjust the offices of the: Senate, readjust the Republican party and put it under the control oi a jonieaeraie Dngaaier. j i - : ' ' ! !

'Banting business has not been Interfered with; it U now a profitable as it ever wal except in cases where a rate of interest was formerly Inked in excess of eight per cent,, and that pracf tice has been abandoned. We have heard that a dozen years ago some-banks charged 24 and 30 per cent.; thit rate was then unlawful, and Congress has not changed the law in regard to usiiry.. Where he rate has been reduced, the banks have acted on sound business principles. Bank ing, like all other branches of legitimate business, flourishes best during a period of general prosperity, and jwe hazard noth ing in saying that the 3,000 national banks are to-day on a sounder basis than ever before, and more than that, the .national banking ' system ; has, year after year, grown more in popular favor and public esteem.' No other system yer adopted Is comparable to it as a basis for sound and legitimate blinking. Indeed, Gov. Plaisted, the Greenback Governor of Maine, has just vetoed! all bills incor porating State banks in ithat State, thus; showing that the national banks have butl Jittle to fear from the old institutions which they have so effectually supplanted; arrayed itselt very rorably, against Coin gress. We regard it as unfortunate that the banks generally should permit them-l elves to oecupy such a position, which is Way, huddled up !fl a Wrner,on' pie, mey neea not apprehend being cppJ pled by unfriendly legislation. And yet it is the banking interest which has -Vurtfoi to their ' interests, and can accom plish no benefit for their stockholders and tne community aoing ouginess wim .mem. It would be betterj in many ways to cease their antagonism to Congress, and present in a clear statemont their claims for a re duction of the heavy taxes, to which they are subiected. la our judgment tney. oughtto.be relieved from this onerous taxation; and be allowed to draw a dollar of .circulation for every dollar deposited by them in bond at the Treasury. But they wiU not find at to their advantage to antagonize political parties, to decry the representatives of the people, or to make an issue with Congress on the passage ot a funding bill at three per cent. Could we suppose they would heed our advice, we would say to them retrace your etops, seek to advance the; desire of the people to place their bonds at the lowest possible rate of interest, and ask for relief of the burdens which you deem oppressive. John Buchanan, the s vcalled dean of the bogus Philadelphia college, has made a full confession of his moral de linquencies. He was arrested nearly a year ago for violating some postal laws, and having given bond hired some man to per sonate him and jump overboard in tha river at Philadelphia and thus create the impression that he: himself had departed this life. While ; this farce was being enacted, the wily dean made tracks for Canada, and there remained incog, several months. Eventually the trick was di- covered, and he was again arrested and brought back to. the scene of his former crimes. After varying fortunes he has at last made a clean breast ot his per tor m ancesl He has sold diplomas all over the Union at five dollars a piece.

He relates incidents wherein he robbed graves, and how one Saturday morning he stole five dead bodies, from the Blockley alms house.

A telegram says : ' An illustration of the strictness with whiehthe President and the cabinet ire keeping their own counsel is found in- the fact that Solicitor-General Phillips, who was to-day nomiaated for the vacancy upon the bench of the Court ol Claims, knew nothing of the impending honor un til, the nomination had actually been sent ie, the Senate. Judge Phillips then hast ened to the White House and told the President that he could not take the place, and his name will of course be withdrawn. The position tendered him is worth only $4,500, while the salary of the Solicitor General is $7,500. m Phillips rates himself at something more than $4,500 per annum, and indeed the National Re publican says that while "the appointment is a grand one it he accepts it, ithe place is far below his merits. j f : Efforts seem tf be makingat every point to supplant the present postmasters and give a sop to some of the outs, and the official beads lie uneasily.
