CURRENT TOPICS. 
Vice-President Colfax Again. 
Vice-President Colfax has escaped formal 
Impeachment, but, ns wo said last week, he 
stands impeached before the American people 
nud forever disgraced. We had thought the 
depth of our humiliation us a people through 
this public officer and our trusted servant, had 
been reached; but if the following, from a 
Washington dispatch to the New York World, 
Is true, lie and we (through him) have sunk still 
lower; 
It will be remembered that in his very latest 
explanation ho insisted that George F. Nesbitt 
of New York, had given him the #4,000 at odd 
times in the Summer of IsijS as voluntary con¬ 
tributions, out of friendship, though a total 
Stranger, and that all the favor that was ever 
returned was a few tickets to the inauguration 
ceremonies In the Spring of 1809. Now il has 
lust comb to light, from the official records oi 
the Post-office Department, tlwir Mr. Colfax 
was the. attorney and lobbyist of Nesbitt, and 
that lie filed an argutnom in reply to one made 
by the Attorney-General for llm extension of 
the stamped envelope contract then in the 
hands or I lie very same Mr. Nesbitt. It is there 
indorsed as submitted by him. 
The history of the transaction is simply ttds: 
When Postmaster-General Randal) retired from 
the Deportment he allowed this contract to 
continue without advertising for competition. 
When Postmaster-General Ores well came in he 
thought this war. irregular, and called on the 
Attorney General for an opinion, which was 
soon forthcoming and adverse to Mr. ltandull s 
course. It wn - to iIds that Mr. Colfax tiled a 
reply, and on thU Nesbitt’s contract was allowed 
to run until some time after, when bids were 
invited. 
In order that no injustice may be done Mr. 
Colfax.it should lie stated that whUethe twenty 
pages of arguments in Nesbitt’s behalf are not 
in his baud writing, his letter indorsing it .-mil 
transmitt ing it is there It may have been cop¬ 
ied for him, or it rnav Itave come from Nesbitt’s 
lawyer, but Mr. Colfax alone appears on the 
record us making the appeal Tor Nesbitt in vio¬ 
lation of the act of 1882. making such an offense 
from the Vice-President or Senator or member 
the subject of criminal indictment. 
The Geneva Award In the British 
Parliament. 
During the discussion of the Queen's speech, 
in the House of Lords, the Karl of Derby denied 
that the British Government could congratulate 
itself on tke issue of the San Juan and Alabama 
controversies, and maintained that there was a 
vast difference between what was contended 
for in 1B04 and the absolute surrender by Great 
Britain in 1872. He said the effect of the Geneva 
decision would be that England hereafter would 
bo liable to damages Sn matters wherein she 
could make no claims on others. Lord Cairns I 
held that the rules adopted were ambiguous and f 
liable tr> misinterpretation. The Duke of Rich- < 
rnond did not object to the spirit of compromise i 
involved in the Genova award, but to the fact t 
that it was one-sided. In the House of Com¬ 
mons, Disraeli condemned the prospective nibs s 
adopted. JIc thought England had been placed 
In n dangerous and undignified position. He < 
asked if England was bound, absolutely, to stop < 
vessels violating neutrality laws, whether sus- i 
peeled,or not? The Washington Treaty bound 
the Government to adopt new laws and urge i 
them upon other countries. Did the Govern¬ 
ment intend to adopt now laws and urge them 
upon other countries? Did the Government 
intend to adopt its own Interpretation or that 
of the Geneva Board? Mr. Horseman said the 
Geneva discussion was one-sided and humiliat¬ 
ing. Bernard Osborne condemned tlie arbitra¬ 
tion, but believed I he less said about it tbe bet¬ 
ter. Manifestly, there is a strong opposition in 
the British Parliament to the Geneva award. 
The Country 8afe. 
Some one has been talking with Senator Sum¬ 
ner at his home in Washington. Wc make the 
following extract from the reported conversa¬ 
tion : “ And what do you think, Mr. Sumner, of 
our country—tire we going to destruction?” 
*• No, no,” pried Mr, Sumner, emphatically; "I 
believe in the Republic. I believe in the future 
of our country.” ** But think of all the lawless¬ 
ness, the anarchy and corruption everywhere 
prevailing. Wo arc treading In the footsteps of 
France. What can save us from falling as she 
has done?” "It is true,” Jie an;werod, sadly, 
"these terrible disclosures in New York, in 
Washington, in Kansas, in Louisiana, arc enough 
to make us tremble. The worst feature of it is 
the apathy of the people. When corruption i- 
(ilseovered, the judgment of the people should 
strike like the thunderbolt." Aft er a pause his 
face again brightened, and lie concluded “ But 
it does not matter. Our people have immense 
recuperative power. 1 believe in their recupera¬ 
tive energy; I believe in the Republic.” 
Floggings of Criminals In England. 
The 29th of January five prisoners, according 
to the London papers, were flogged in Newgate 
prison by two wardens of the Holloway Prison. 
These Hoggings were with the 14 cat,” arid "the 
hack of each culprit was marked by a broad, 
crimson hand where the 4 cal ’ had done its 
work." Some people, in this 19th century, would 
call this “ Inhuman but is It more a rdlc of 
barbarism t han public hangings ? if we must 
kill murderers, is it not better lo do it decently 
and iu order quietly and In the quickest and 
easiest possible way, and without ostentation? 
The mysterious death of a condemned man— 
one which docs not allow even him to know 
lichen It is t o come, it seems t o us t o be t !• ^morr 
Civilized, and quite as effective upon the popu¬ 
lar mind as a preventive of crime. 
The Credit Mobilier Investigation In the 
House 
Has resulted in passing-a resolution censuring 
James Brooks and Oakes Ames — that is all. 
Evidently there are not a sufficient number of 
members of the House ready to throw stones at 
their fellows. This confession on the part of 
the highest Representative body in the country 
has been wrested from them after great pain 
and peril. Unfortunately, these men are neither 
better nor worse than the people whose con¬ 
stituents they are—at least we fear so ! 
The Louisiana Trouble. 
The Senate has adopted a resolution recog¬ 
nizing the Kellogg Government in Louisiana as 
the 6c facto Government, thus indorsing the ac¬ 
tion of President Grant. How this conclusion 
was reached, In t He light of the report of the 
Committee on Privileges and Elect ions made to 
the Senate, is one of those mysteries which 
haunt the corridors and halls of the Capitol only. 
Another Atlantic Cable 
Is to be laid between England and Halifax, 2,!ifl7 
miles t hereof being already on board the Great 
Eastern steamship. Tills steamer, with three
