That was an act of very doubtful pro
priety in the late Congress taking uway
the pi luting of the Ji buti * from the old
Congressional Globe and giving it to the
Government Printing Office. True the
country would not lose much if they were
not printed at all, but as they are pre
served for the special benefit of that hap
lots individual, the ••future historian, it
would have been better to allow them to
go iu the Globe, which has printed Ihciu
for the last forty years.

Now conies down a ruiuor from above
that Joe Brown and his directory are con
templating making the Slate u double
track railroad. Hope its so. He has
shown himself utterly incompetent to run
that road as it now stands and his directors
ought to allow him to put on another rail.
It is now worse than when Foster Blodget
had it—accepting the twenty live thousand
cash money paid over to Gov. Smith every
thirty days.
On the occasion of MuriU Gras in New
Orleans the Picayune performed a great
feat lu Journalism. It published twenty
solid columns neat morning, written in
the finest style, describing the affair. The
celebration commenced at tioou and dosed
at niiduigbt. We do not remember
ever seeing a New York paper surpass
that. The l’icayuno is one of the finest
papers this couulry over produced aud its
chief editor is It. H. Nhctt, for years the
life and soul of the Charleston Mercury.

NY nar rr costs to bk a Cuitio.
Charles Heads, author of Foul Play, Ter
rible Temptation and other blond and thun
der novels, all of them superlatively stu
pid, recently sued the London Advertiser
amt recovered one thousand dollars for ad
verscly criticising a play lie bail written,
called “ Hlillly-Slially.** The only hit he
made iu the production, was in selecting
a proper name for it, and because the Ad
verliser said so, lie got bis back up
about it.
The fag-end of that uhouiKhihle forty
first Congress is still in session. We mean

NYiicu it docs gut through, t 10 whole
country w ill fuel pretty much is the old
brother did at a lovcfeost meeting. A young
buck was called on to give liis experience
aud be did so. by telling n long nud sick
ening yarn about a girl who bad refused
to marry him. After lie got through, the
good brother arose gravely and said,
" bretlireu let us puke,”
A great deal is being said about the
domestic difficulties of the Marquis of
Lome who married Queen Vic's seventh
or eighth girl. His wife is no doubt trying
to wear the britches, which no Scotchman
will stand long without objecliug to.
Lome ought to had better sense than to
he caught in such a had snap. If lie will
take our advice, lie had tatter strike out
for lndiaua aud gut a divorce. If the
history of conjugal infidelity in royal
household* was written, it would contain
as many chapters as there are in Wsb
ter’s uuabriged dictionary. But the hook
would take, you know.
Considerable fuss is beiug made by the
newspaper press over the matter of mem
bers of the late Congress voting themselves
an extra allowance of $5,000. Bless your
souls, gentlemen, there is nothing remark
able about that It is among the smallest
outside sums they have picked up during
the session. They are to be commended
for it. for they stole this openly and all the
rest more or less in the dark. When they
thus steal openly they ought to be en
couraged in it and not condemned, for it
shows a real mark of progression in mor
als. We hope they will hold on to that
line if we do sulTer by it. That reminds
us of the boy who was training his bull
pup to catch a hog. lie got his daddy to ,
substitute bimseif for the hog in the first
lesson. When the old in an got down on ,
his all-fours, Growler seized him by tbe
nose and held on in spite of the utmost
efforts of tbe old fellow to get him off. '
Meantime tbe boy was dancing around in
great glee hollering, ** bear it dad, bear it
it will be tbe very making of tbe pup!” J

TUIBTV-TWO MII.ES OF CAItS.
We met a gentleman from Chattanooga
this morning who stated there were now
drifted against that delightful snag in our
railroad system to the Northwest, no less
than thirty twe milei of loaded cars wait
ing for the engines of Die State road to
pull them oir into Georgia and Florida.
One hundred fresh arrivals are lodging
against the tall of the drift every day—a
gain of only forty in cacli twenty-four hours.
Speculations iu regard to when the block*
ade would bs raised, the road cleared and
freights once more allowed to come
through on reasonable schedule time, were
various aud diversified, but it was thought
lliat if no more fresh orders are sent NVcst
matters would get tolerably straight in
the course of twenty days.
Many shippers in Die West have aban
doned tlie line iu despair and are sending
their freights ever the Baltimore and Ohio
and Chesapeake and Ohio railways, aud
from thence down through Die Caroliuas
to Georgia. This route is practicable,
quick aud managed by men who were
generally born sometime during Die nine
teenth ceutnry. The only difficulty is
that their freight is a little higher than
the Green Line tariff. It is a little novel
and unexpected to them—this new freight
busiuess—and hence they have not got
things exactly regulated yet.
An experienced freight agent from Chi
cago has been dispatched along the line to
put the whole matter on a footing with
the interior route and to make arrange
ments for lightening trains which will
come through in from one-third to one
half the time goods are now being t&
caived. The Louisville ami Nashville,
Nashville anil Chattanooga, ami Georgia
State roads have no more llnui enough fa
cilities to do a small local business, and
Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis ought
therefore to seek anew route temporari
ly through the Caroliuas and pitch in
heart imd purse aud help us build the
Macou and Knoxville Hailroail. They
will never get permanent relief until that
is done. These blockades will continue
from year to year to the end of Die chapter,
until we open u now outlet to the North
west and to the sta
There are shipments out now from
points beyond the Ohio river which have
been on the road since early iu Jauuury.
Whilst a mule team in good health can
beat their time any one month in Dio
yenr, an ox team can distance these “fust
lime freight lines" as they are blazoned,
any month from December ta July, or at
any season when our merchants have u
good trailo and want a few extra goods to
supply it. Whenever they have a chance
to maku a little money a blockade is in
stantly proclaimed at Chattauooga, Bridge
port, Memphis, Tullahoma, Murfreesboro,
Nashville, Bowling Green and Louisville.
Aud if this does not checkmate them
the bridge over Goose Branch on Dis State
road, three yards long, is sure to bo “en
tirely swept away by a disastrous tlood last
night.” “But,” the stereotyped dispatch
continues, "a strong workiug force lias
been disputclied to the scene of disaster,
and it is expected that the damage will be
repaired iu u few days aud trains running
regularly again. That active, energetic
aud experienced engineer, Col. Jones, will
loavo day after tomorrow morning on a
speciul truiu to take charge of the working
force."
These "few days" are generally stretched
out iuto twenty aud often thirty, and in the
meantime thirty two miles of curs are
congregating at Chattanooga.
THAT HPANIMII REPI BLIC.
•• Spain is a country,” said M. de Talley
rand, •• where two and two make five.”
The oid cynic said that just after Napo
leon had finished up his job of flailing
out the whole country, but with a dead
muster roll of four hundred and fifty
thousand men, and a guerilla still iu every
hush aud on every housetop. And no
sooner had Grant and his Minister Sickles
recognized the last Republic than the
whole country is iu chaotic uproar.
As near as we can get at the situation
the following parties have independent
armies in the field fighting anything that
comes along, and all agreeing upon oue
point, and that is the right to steal at will
tlie Modcredoa, the Republicans, (carpet
baggers and colored troops allowed all the
privileges of the camp except that of
bolding the fbuds) Carlists, Liberados. Re
actionists, Imperialists, the Pope of Rome,
the Northern Methodist Church, U. S.
Grant and Dan. E. Sickles.
It Schuyler Colfax and Oakes Auies will
more their Credit Mobilicr concern over
there and hack Sickles and Grant, it will
uot only complete the situation but render
success possible.
But, seriously, Sickles made an ass of
himself in recognizing the sickly little
thing uow besieged iu Madrid and called
the Spauish Republic. It was set up by
Don Castellar, Serano, and a few other
dead beats, iu fifteen er twenty iniuutes
after Victor Emauuel's boy bad left town,
and it is safe to predict that it will go
down as soon as some of the armies men
tioned above arrives
We are in favor of Republics when
practicable, but ouo iu Spain at this time ’
has no more effect than a religious tract!
among a lot of wolves. You might as
well undertake to ride Murk Twain’s Mex
ican plug horse without saddle or bridle
as to govern that people with such a form
of government.

Tiik Bakk of Ekgi.and Kobiieky
“The countrymcu of Mr- Barnum" as the
London Times would say, must be consid
erably below par at this writing in the es
timation of John Bull and all his calves.
At Geneva a few months ago, they tapped
his main till to the tune of fiftecu million
then Knowing Yilliam oi Prussia, cut ofTa
good big strip of bis territory up in Wal
russia ar.d handed over the deed to Broth
er Jonathan, and lastly, a yankee has sto
len a round two million from his bank. The
precise amount is not yet known, nor the
full details to hand. It was thought that
hank that was completely impervious to
anything like operations of this kind. No
doubt when all the facts are known, the
chief burglar will turn up an ex-member
of the American Congress, with confeder
ates consisting exclusively of ex carpet bag
Governors of Southern States. As we
bars heard nothing of Bullock and Kim
ball for months, we wonder if they ure
not over in that country ?
Wo noticed a paragraph the other day
in a German paper asking if that country
ought not to break off diplomatic relations
witli Die United States because Grant said
in bis inaugural that “republicanism was
on the march all over the world.” There is
no necessity for any such violence a- this,
for that sentence can be easily explained.
Grant didn’t mean It was marching into
any particular section but marching out
from all quarters. It lias about trapped
out of lliis country, is rapidly shuffling out
of Spain, and iu France its life pretty much
depends upon that of old Thiers, provided
be diet soon.
