WABHIKGTON FLUNK *YIS3I," as shown daring the recent visit of a son of tlie ex--'4* cellent old woman who sometimes pro" rogues the British Parliament, to our national capital, has stirred to their innermost depths the feelings of the young man who oscillates between statistics and hi&lntin on the fonrth page of the Indianapolis Journal. He seeks relief in "oh 1-ing for the days of THOMAS JEFFER-

SON and his stump-tailed sorrel mare, when the wife of the President was not disgraced in 'riding behind' her august husband through the str^Jsof the Federal City."

"Too MUCH SILVER" is troubling the Canadians. They regard it as a nuisance, and Sir FRANCIS HINCKS asks the co-operation of the banks in driving it

4out

of the country. He proposes to fix a day, sufficiently distant to enable all to prepare for it, when American silver coins shall be a legal-tender only at 20 per cent.jdiscount on their face. That is to say, the coins of 50, 25, 10 and 5 cents will then circulate only at 40, 20, 8 and 4 cents respectively—rates which, being far below their intrinsic value, will drive them out of the country. He has applied to the Royal Mint for a Canadian silver coinage, to the extent of a million dollars in 50 and 25 cent, pieces and until that is received he proposes to recommend the temporary issue of fractional Dominion notes of 25 cents, redeemable, like all other Dominion notes, in gold, when presented in sums of $6. We hope the pro posed action will have the desired effect, and send our wandering coins homeward.

THE Philadelphia Press learns tha^ the culture of the tea plant in East Tennessee gives pronlise of success. A Mr. JAMES CAMPBELL, ^residing ten miles east of Knoxville, has fifty plants in a flourishing condition, which were planted eleven years ago. Though neglected during the war, and exposed to the depredations of cattle (the owner being away in Texas), they are now five feet high, and apparently doing well. So convinced is Mr. CAMPELL of the success of his attempt that next year he purposes planting all the seed gathered the past season, This experiment would seem to demon strate the adaptability of the climate in that latitude to the growth of the tea plant, and any lack of knowledge con cerning the habits of the plant, and the conditions most favorable for its culture, may now be easily supplied by the Celestials themselves, now pouring into the country. It may be that, not many years hence, our Southern States will rank tea among their staples, and save to the conn try the large amount now sent to Asia for this article of universal consumption.

MR. SPEAKER HITCH MAN, of the New York Legislature,^,lie yonileman, who, a short fortnight ago, ingid ile repeal of New York's ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment, and when reminded that the assent of a State once given to a con stitutional amendment could not be withdrawn, replied in defiant language that his party would repeal the ratification and then, quoth the terrible HITCHMAN "Let Congress count New York if it dare." Now this same defiant HITCHMAN asks Congress to pass a little bill (a steamship job) for such enterprising commercial mariners as Judge RICHARD B. CONNEL "LY, WILLIAM M. TWEED and MICHAEL NORTON—all good, anti-Fifteenth Amendment men in fact, bright, particular stars of Tammany. The Philadelphia Inquirer suggests that before Congress grants the subsidy asked for by these eminent promoters of American commerce, it should count the States that have ratified the Fifteenth Amendment, including, of course, New York. And then let us see what HITCHMAN will do. He may secede, and then there will be an end of -the steamship subsidy. ns-

..^The Sentinel Corrected Again. One false step is almost sure to necessi tate another. Thus it is with the Sentinel in the pig irou controversy. Hav ing attempted to palm off some worthless TSgures—gleaned from a paper printed liefore a ton of iron was made in Clay /county—as tlie result of A. L. CRAW'TORD'S experience as an iron-maker in that county, and having bad its sharp practice pretty thoroughly exposed, it now feels compelled to resort to further attempts at deception. This is the way of doing it: It takes the average selling price which we gave, and puts that as our statement of the average cost, thus: "The Express gives the figures to show that the average cost of making several grades of, iron in JJIay county ^s $37 per

ton"

"'~J

Now theeditorof the Sentinel must have known wl^en he wrote that paragri.jjif'that the EXPRESS had done nothing of the kind, for our tables were before him showing the coet to be $30.60 for pig iron made from Iron Mountain ore $31.42 for that made from a mixture of Iron Mountain and lake Superior ore and $33.05 when made from Lake Superior ore alone. Following these was a table showing the average selling price to be $37.00 per ton. Will the Sentmd correct its misstatement? Or is it so badly pushed that it must resort to such means of deceiving the people?

"ECONOMY has the floor," is the terse Way

in which the Chicago Republican describes the present feeling in Congre Reduction is the rule of arithmetic that every legislator now needs to understand and practice. Even Mr. DAWES is behind the times. There is occasion of gratulation in the alacrity with which the House cut down (his naval deficiency bill the other day, from three millions to one and a half million, and the unanimous public approval that has confirmed the wisdom of the reduction. We no more need a strong navy to meet the possibility of offending impotent Spain, than we need an army of occupation iu Minnesota to settle the Winnipeg half-breed question.

A COTEKPOBABT mentions a singular episode in Democratic history. It appears that a Democrat in the Kansas House of Representatives, while the Fifteenth Amendment was ander discussion, said: "While rbelong to the Democratic party, I also belong to the present age." To prove his words, he voted for the amendment.

THE New York Tribune mentions the election of a colored man to the position of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of South Carolina as one of the most striking and singular results of the Reconstruction. The new Judge is described as the best educated negro, at the South. Not more for his own sake than for the sakeof the race he represents, says the Tribune, we trust that the singular experiment will not be found too hazardous, and that his conduct will justify his promotion.

QUARTZ MINING IN WYOMING.

The Richest Gold Region on the Conqsyif tr-| tinent.

South Pass City Cor. of the Omaha Herald.] Our country, like all other quartz and mining countries, has had its drawbacks —its quartz vampyres and sharks, its retailers ot mines which have no existence but on paper. Large amounts have been sold in Chicago and other places but this has not retarded the progress of the camp in the least. It is to-day ahead of any quartz mining camp on the North American continent of its age.

Our quartz mills have been another great drawback. Many of them were bought by inexperienced men the mills being old and useless, were sold by machinists to get them out of the way, frequently failing to save a color of gold, when the same rock crushed in an arastra would yield forty dollars per ton, and men at the s&ne time were extracting sufficient gold from the same rock, by hand mortars, to sustain themselves and push forward their work.

The most of the rich ledges here are owned by poor men, who are co-opera-ting together, driving tunnels and sinking shafts, preparing for a rich, golden harvest,in the spring if, poor Lo will only let us alone, as that is the only drawback now that can ever retard us, as miners, one whit.

There is considerable feeling in this camp against certain men who have gone east and sold ledges that had no value, only on paper, and never came back her«. We would, of course, like to have men of capital come into our midst-and invest their money and make large fortunes, as they are sure to do if they invest in gold ledges. There is no place on this continent where money invested properly will pay better than in milling the Sweet Water quartz. Our quartz is as rich as any on the continent, and contains no base metals as does Colorado. The most of the quartz in that country has lo be sent to Swansea, in Wales, to extract the base metals. A great deal of gold will be taken out next summer with arastras, as they save more gold than a mill and most any person can have one. On Rock creek last summer, one arastra, run by one man, took out $17,000 worth of gold—a good summer's work—which will be done in many instances next summer. What the people want here is this If persons whiih to invest in quartz, they should come to this place, go among the miners, and down into the shafts, and pick up the gold themselves. Let their own eyes be their own judges, and not trust to a lot of gold speculators who care for nothing but their pockete.

The greatness of Wyoming and her mines of gold and coal, is fully establish ed

"Is Society Growing Worse*" Various journals have insulted and are engaged in discussing this question. Un hesitatingly we take the negative. If any one should take up the journals of the day and consider how many revolting crimes are recorded if any one should stop to think, seriously, about the multitude of crimes commited, no doubt he would be appalled at the wickedness of fallen human nature. It must, however, be re collected that we live under diffierent con ditions from those which encompassed our ancestors. Then we had no railroads, no tqlegrapos, no comprehensive means of intercommunication. In the early days of the Republic, we had only three or four journals, good, bad and indifferent.^ When Franklin wanted to marry the woman who afterward became his wife, it was objected that there were already in America, three or more newspapers consequently, that he had small opportunity to make a reasona ble support. At that time, population was widely dispersed, being far less to the square mile than now. The record crimes was restricted to a few newspapers, Now, every felony, of considerable importance, is spread before readers by the col umn. From every part of the country, moreover, the details of crime are repor ted by telegraph. A sensational murder committed yesterday in Louisiana, Texas, is next morning fully known in Chicago, and in all of the principal cities of the Union. This was not so in the times long ago hence the conclusion that the present generation is more wicked and criminal than any which has prece ded.

In our view, morality, religion and ob servance of law, considered in generality are making commendable progress. We do not believe there are as many crimi nals in every thousand of population, in this country, as were formerly. Appar ently the number may be greater really, the number is leas. The larger and more instant means of publicity must be taken into consideration. What, forty or fifty years ago would have died out, and been ignored as matter of journalistic news, is now caught up with avidity, Jand made a topic of local comment, perhaps of edito rial excoriation.—Chicago Republican.

I "Kentucky, Oh, Kentucky.'*" Tlie Kentucky Legislature has decided against allowing negroes tlie same opportunity for the protection of the courts as white men. The House has decided by 74 yeas to 15 nays against allowing negroes to testify in cases jn which white men are parties. Our Frankfort letter gives the facts.

This places Kentucky in her proper position before the country. She decides that a negro has no rights which a white man is bound to respect.

Old Kentucky seems determined to die singing anthems to the past and scowling defiance to the present. Let her hold fast on the h$rns of her old blood-stained altar, and go down under the judgment pronounced against the old gods of heath en ism.—Cin. Times S]

THE Joint Legislative Committte of the Massachusetts Legislature has nearly perfected a bill to supersede the prohibitory statutes. The new enactment closes all open bare to the State, permits landlords to sell liquors to their guests, res-taurant-keepers to their customers in rooms,respectable grocers to their patrqns, and druggists for medicinatyparposea.

X'HORRID man expresses thfe Opinion that giving the ballot to woman will not amount to much, for none of them will admit that they are old enough to vote until they are too old to take any interest in politics. Oh, the wretch!

THE QUEENS OF FIHAKCE.

A'New Furore is "the Street"—First Levee and Business Recent ion ofTictoriaand JennieC.

A SeMation Ainone the Panicky "Ball*"—The Ship Afloat.

From the New York Herald.] In the Herald of yesterday the opening of Jhe offices of the new female tiim of Woodhull, Clatiin & Co., was announced. From early morn till the close of the business houses in Wall and Broad streets the office of tlie ladies was besieged with hosts of visitors, of whom many were led by curiosity, excited by the notice that appeared in the Herald but a large number of business men—the members and representatives of the leading business firms on "the street"—called to pay their respects and to form the acquaintance of the handsome adventurers. The curiosities of commerce and banking are more fascinating than the curiosities of crime hence the first banking-house opened by ladies during the bustling 6,000 yenrs that have elapsed since Eve brought misfortune and grief upon her daughters is naturally a wonder, and is not destined to be a "nine days' wonder."

People of all classes thronged yesterday at No. 44 Broad Street. Spinsters, elderly and sedate, with a large experience of the world, but with a little larger suspicion of its momentary transactions and with longer purses, still co&e to learn how they may turn moneys, which have not practically been bearing any interest, to the best account. Blondes, fair and fresh as pippins, entered with a rich twinkle of humor in their eyes, but bewitched by curiosity, and afterwards delighted with all they saw and heard, left the premises bethinking themselves that there were other things to live for besides cosmetics, the toilet, fashion and vanity. Hardy old veterans, who have been stumping it for a long time On short legs, took a turn in, but the atmosphere of the establishment did not seem to agree with their temperament, and they left, under the impression that if money were to be made there it would be made legitimately. Bankers, with silver beards and golden memories, rich in the perfumes of champagne and cigars, toddled through the premises, but having come to mock they remained to pray that the lady bankers would vouchsafe to note the members of their firms, and to express a hope that their acquaintance might be longlived.

The ladies received their visitors with a coolnes.1 and an eye to business that drew forth the plaudits and the curses of old veterans. Every large house in the street went to take notes of the movements of the lionesses. Hosts of friends with advanced ideas put forth their opinions and proffered their counsels, and hosts who came to scoff and to mock the gentle lionesses who dared to take a stand in the most stormy and uncertain arena of life, pressed forward, but the blandishments and the opinions of all comers were received with an amount ef dare-devil self-possession that indicated to the "Street" that Woodhull, Claflin & Co. appreciated the situation, that they knew their business, and they proposed to take the stand like men, and to meet men on dollars and c«nts, handsome features, gentle manners and a profusion of blondelocks to the contrary notwithstand ing

They talked of stocks, of gold, of C. Vanderbilt, and of a thousand other topics, which showed that they were not 'Wan gers in a strange land." They insist, on their honor as ladies, that before three months they will do the largest business as bankers and brokers on the street. They will do a stock brokerage business on commission will buy and sell stocks and carry them on margin, and do a bank ing business, paying five per cent, on deposits. They claim to be wealthy—say they will sink half a million dollars in the business—but are quite reticent as to the names of their bankers and supporters, The street talked of the matter as Vanderbilt's new move. Some condemned the idea, some believed it but the question was universally asked why should Vanderbilt allow his name to be mixed up in the matter if he were not an active participator in the enterprise? A September gold panic could not create a greater furor in the Stock Exchange than the advent of the lady brokers.

There was nothing of the novice in the manner and movements of the ladies. They were both dressed in dark blue Empress cloth walking dresses, and moved around with a keen and quiet air. They looked handsome, and the gold pens poised on theii pretty ears formed a topic of unusual interest for the gouty old war horses of the street. In the bustle and excitement attendant on an opening of this kind, it speaks well for the onward sentiments of the age, that no unseemly expression, whether by word or gesture, greeted the ears of the vLsitor, although a miscellaneous throng of some four thousand persons called at the offices yesterday.

Quaint and common-place remarks were used in profusion, and the air was alive with such expressions as "What does Vanderbilt mean?" "They know a thing or two." "When will this end?" "Two thousand visitors for two'ladies within eight hours." "Stocks will go sky high." At 4 o'clock the tempest subsided, and the ladies drove away in their coupe, without any signs of headache, to their apartments at the Hoffman House.

MRS. STANTON'S advice about choosing a wife is: "Always look for a girl with good teeth, for the teeth area sample of every bone in the fair one's body." udged by this rule, there are precious few girls of the period with sound bones in their bodies, unless it holds good with reference to false teeth.

THE National Association of School Superintendents is to hold a special session in Washington beginning on the first of next month, at which brief and practical addresses will be delivered by Commissioner Barnard, General Howard, and the State Superintendents of Maine. North Carolina, Louisiana and Ohio.

THE Mexican revolution is rapidly growing, and the Juarez government is likely to have its hands full for some time to come. Five States have pronounced against it, and several of the prominent generals of the army have joined the in surgents, among them Espinosa and Macias. A general war seems imminent.
