The latest departmental interference is that of a ranking; clerk and Acting Com- missioner of Internal Revenue, in ordering the postponement of the suit of John Speor until the next term of court. In the first matters connected therewith.

In the second place, the order of this ranking clerk and Acting Commissioner is based upon the flimsiest pretext possible that the accused, in const quince of the bitterness of thc late political campaign, cannot now he assured of a fair trial. If this were true, which it is not, the plea ought to come from the I defense, and not from the prosecution. Thc Government is, the prosecutor. The District 1 Attorney has held no such plea. He does not believe that a fair trial cannot now be I hael.

The fact is, it would be very difficult to find a jury in Kansas ho would not be liberal and lenient, and elisjiosed to stretch the law in favor of Mr. Speer. A trial might now he damaging to certain politicians, and their prcsentjiolitieal aspirations but does the G.overcaj-Repose to interfere in behalf of jjoliticians, to protect criminals, and prevent an honest collection of the revenue? Is this the meaning of Mr. Acting Commissioner Douglas's order. If so, it is not very comjdimentary to thc integrity and honesty of officials, and of the Administration which we are all the while claiming is determined to enforce an honest collection of the revenue, and the jjrosccution of criminals.

We would be the last to prejudice thc case now before the courts. It is where it shoultl have been years ago. A fair sxtdy and hone'st trial shoal el be demanded by all parties concerncel. The accused has a right to demand this, as the people. And no commissioner has the right to take the case out of the courts, or to jsostpone it in the interests of politicians who may be damaged by the disclosures to be made on the trial.

Justice to the accused and to the jeople demands that the claims of a Senatorial aspirant shoulel be subservient to the interest of those who it is alleged have been elefraudcel, anel of the accused alike. In short, it is about time thr.t departmental interference with the courts, and the due course of law, should stoj). Bye-and-bye it will be found that the people run this country, and not elepartmental clerks and acting heads of bureaus. Isvrnnre Jmirmd. Extravagance.

Articles of French production have naturally increased in price. Champagne'. ine has felt the effects of the desolation of the whole region of which it is proeluced, anel the wine merchants have jmt up the price in proportion to the cost of their fu- I trlre applies, kid gloves have likewise felt ill advance the Covers of a short supply from a beleaguered citv. tttnatelv. these are articles that we can well dispense ith.

The less chanipaffne that is i brouidit into the country the better; it is I an unhealthy extravagance. NttwUere in tlie world, except, perhaps, in some of thc i 1 1 tl Anteriean countries, do tttt drink I Wine at au ordinary dinner at a SCCond-l'lasS restaurant, and pay five dollars a bottle for it. Frenchmen buy it for a dollar, and drink but little of it at that If we must drink wine, which is bad, but not near so bad as drinking whisky, let a taste be culivatcil for the American wines, hich arc generally purer than the imported, ami are equally palatable, and will do a man less harm. The matter of gloves belongs to the ladies. We confess to a weakness towards gloves, and always thought that extravagance in gloves ami slippers was more than innocs nt, that it rose to the dignity of a female virtue.

It is but just to the sex to say that thev have never failed in their duty in this ami, whatever faults may be charged to them, they have not been wanting in this excellence. But gloves do not come from Paris alone, nor from France alone. The French are the best and much the dearest. Very good gloves can be bought ct retail for twenty-five cents in Rally, ami in some other parts of Europe, and the English gloves are very good. There is no sense in giving three dollars for a pair of glov that a body will only wear once or twice.

Let the cheaper articles be introduced among those who set the fashions ami fix the measures of extravagance. Dowdolu College Graduates. Bowdoin College, although younger by nearly two hundred years than Harvard, boasts of having graduated one President of the United States Franklin Pierce, liili; two Cabinet officers John Applcton and William P. Fessenden; two foreign Ministers; seven United States Senators, among whom are Evans, Bell, and John P. Hale nineteen members of Congress eleven Governors of States, among whom are Governor Chamberlain and the late ex -Governor Andrews, of Massachusetts.

The graduates who have become Presidents of Colleges number eleven, and her Professors, forty. Besides these, for soldiers, she has four Major and six Brigadier Generals. Her finest proso writer was Nathaniel Hawthorne, and her foremost historian is J. R. C.

Abbott, all of whom were in thc class of 1823, Tim defeat of Mr. Jonks, of Rhode Island, is ascribed by tlie Providence Journal to the shameless bribery of voters. In other words Spraguc brought the election for his candidate. We presume there is considerable truth in the allegation. At any rate, we deplore the defeat of Mr.

Jcnks, an honorable and hlgh-mipdcd man whose name will always be oonnctcd as a pioneer with the oivil service reform, when that great measure shall be consummated. The most that can bo said for this man Sprnguc is, that he inherited great wealth, married a daughter of Chief Justice Chase, and parts his hnir in I he mtddlu. her lands are set apart virtually as a school fund. Not an acre be sold but that the proceeds are set apart for school purposes. One quarter of all the taxes are for school purposes, and every poll tax, so that in a few years, as railroads penetrate the interior, bringing into market her millions of acres of land now almost valueless, she will have an exhaustlcss fund with which to build school houses and employ teachers, thus educating every child in the State.

From the New York Ileralu. The census returns from Kansas show how rapidly thc States west of the Missis sippi are advancing in wealth and prospcri ty. A few years ago the progress oi Kansas, Arkansas and the other States which include the plains stretching towards the Rocky Mountains was rather slow and presented a marked contrast to thc States on this side the population, but by thc perpetual Indian troubles, which kept the settlers in hot water. The present census, however, gives rr i i jvansas a gooei suu it piipuuuKiu ui nucc millions. The product of grain last year, was twenty-four million bushels, show ing a great increase in tlie number of acres culti- vatcd around the principal towns, where the grain lands arc excellent, It appears also that game is very plentiful this season thousands of buffalo, iu herds of two or three hundred, covering tho prairie for miles.

This is good news both for the white settler and the Indian. There is nothing that keeps the Indian so peaceable ns plenty of buffalo to cat.
