J)cihm & Co., of rottsville, wcro the lowest
bidder, .by tho mm of 910,000, but tho
work wa refined them and was allotted to
the next hlghctt bidder. Thl nc'.lon wa9
taken by n majority of the Hoard in opposi

whom the fact became known, and ha be
come a proper subject for public exainiiia- County I'riion ; ami, 3d, either a new let

ground for tho popular supposition that ho
mut seek compensation by some other
mean than by direct and open payment tn

the lact that hi neighbor and nociato for

stone-work of tho proposed building, consti
tuting the largest and mutt profitable part of
the general euntrait, lia given occasion to
suspicion ami rein.ir!c, In connection with
the kuo.vledge whieli tho publlo has obtain
ed of thu extreme zeal manifested by him In
tho rejection of tho lowest bid for tho work.
The payment by tho County of an addition
al sum of more than $10,000 In order that
hi neighbor and associato may obtain a pro
fitable sub-contract, I not understood a n
performance in which tho public interest.
aro consulted. Perhaps this wholo subject
deserves reconsideration, and perhaps, also,
seviral thing may bo done by tho Hoard of
Commissions , without offence to public
opinion, and witli signal advantage to their
own standing and position in tho communi
ty. T'lie-u are: lit, tho dismissal of tho ar
chitect J '21, the abandonment of tho new,
' expensive, and muJ-bnttimi location for tho
tinn.
Wo havo heard but two objections men
tioned lo Iho acceptanco of the bid of Deihm
& Co , neither of which appear to be well
lbiimlnl. The fro 1) that tho bid win not
made in good faith, and the other that the
t-cnrilY proposed for the performance of t lie
i .ntrnct nns nul sufilcient. That the bid
win net In .lis, or an Inconsiderate one, np
pear from the persistence with which Deihm
Co. have pressed its acceptance, and from
the careful inquiries and estimate made by
them prior to tho letting, a well as from
the busine; position of tho biddeis, Mes'rs.
Iieilimand Littz, in the coiiiiuunily where
they reside. l!ut the true way to dispose ol
n doubtful or sil-pected hid, when it i Inn
est, i In wrtpt it upon condition of good se
curity for its performance, and thus deter
imno whether it is a good bid or not. li
such case the weak or also bidder will be
forced to retire, giving place to tho next
highest, or .it will bo shown that tlio low
est hid is also the best one and ought to pro
Tail. A to the other point of the sufficiency of
tho bond filed with tho Commissioners by
Deihm -fc Co., there can be no serious ques
tion. Tho six person who signed the bond
us sureties nru gentlemen of property and
credit at I'ultsville, for whose solvency and
ability the Hoard bud a satisfactory reference
lo llnn.F. V. Hughes. It is true tho oblig
or in the bond reside in an adjoining coun
ty, but a recovery against them in cae of
breach could he had there a well as here.
And it is to be considered whether competi
tion at such public letting would not be to i'.
great extent excluded if strictly local securi.
ty were required. Hut, clearly, if the secu
rity upon the hid was, for any proper reason,
iinatilactoty or deficient, the bidders
should have been called upon to perfect the
security, or show its sufficiency, and allowed
a reasonable opportunity of doing so. In
other words, in Mich a case bidders should
he fairly treated, and the interest of tho
public In securing cheap a well a good
work should be kept in constant view.

LET JUSTICK 1IE DON 11.
In August, ISO'S, tho Army of tho Toto
mac met with a dlrofnl defeat for the second
tlmo at Hull Hun. Popular clamor demand
ed a victim. It should have, been John
Hope, a common briigirait, then com
manding tho Army of the l'olnmae. The
powers that KW, however, selected Major
General Fitz John I'orli-r, one of lhenblet
generals in the Union Ar.iiy, for thn swri
fice. On the l!"th of Xovi mher, 1802, a
general Court Martial was llligully ordered
by Gen. Halleck, upon charge preferred by
(icn. Hoberts, then a member of l'ope's
staff. On tlio 10th of January, lMW.u pack
ed Court Martial found l'orter guilty, and

WHAT NEXT.
From a recent editorial in tlio Philadelphia
Timet, on tho Louisiana commission, wo clipl
tho following.
"Tho commission causes the statement to
bo made that n canvass of tho vote in all the
parishe in which violence a not dearly
proved elects Haves by 800 vote, and givo.s
tho I) tnocr.its Nirholls and tho l'gislaturo.
Tlieo fuels w iv ele.nly set forth in Iho
Tmi'f, and other independ jut paper.! as soon
ns tlie Heturiiini; Hoird rioted its labors, but
it is plca'ant to leceivo oven sn lato in tlio
day a confirmation of them from such emi
nent licpublicau aiilhoiity. So tho loinmis
don h.i done soino good If not exactly of tho
kind anticipated."
1'ithcr wo do not understand tlio meaning
of these words, or our always careful tcadlng
of tho Times has Ikmmi for naught. Wo liavo
n most decided impression that the Time 3 ha
elaini'.d a largo majority Ibr Mr. Tildcn in
tlio Slate of Louisiana and vo have novcr
seen in it column nor in thoo of "other in
dependent papers," any nckniwlcdrcmcnt
that Hayes had n m.ij uity of 800, or in f.i-t
any majority at all, Wo invo certainly read
the Louisiana case to no effect, il'such a con
dition of affairs lias been anywhere proved.
Pcrha) the Tunes mean that whore "vio
lence wa not clearly proved" to tho satisfic
tion of Packard, Kellogg and Well, there
was a majority of S00 for Hayes. This might
be, as thoo gentleman were firmly of tho
opinion lint there was "violence- proved"
wherever there wa a Demieiatic majority.
Is tho Timis so Impressed with tho wisdom of
Mr. llayos' policyih.it it lia convinc-d it
self and is now trying tn onvinea its readers
that Hayes was elected alter all?

Cnltore of the Memory.
It is a common idea that a good memory is
a ready-nmdo gift, which nature whimsically
confers onsomo nnd withholds from others.
The happy possessor of iho prizo may consid
er himself fortunate, whilo ho wIm lias drawn
a blank In the lottery must resign liimsijfto
the misfortune. Tim wo hear many person
lamenting a poor memory, nnl oven claiming
sjnipathy nn account of it, utterly unconscious
tint ihey have any power or icsponsibility in
tho matter.
Now, the truth i, that the memory I n
faculty which, n much a any other, need.
development, lis capacity i doubtless greater
in somo than in others by natural endowment
hut this difference isles. important than that
which is caused by education or iipgle:t.
Whether for tho purpose- of facilitating men
ial piocossc. or of promoting practical effi
ciency in life's puisuit,", a cultivated mommy
i much more valuablj than a nituinlly
Strom? one. Wo may lo capable of amass
ing within our inlnds a vast amount of facts,
or rules, orknnwlcdeo of any kind thrown to
gether at random without leaping any bene
fit, eitlier in mental power or tho eonduct of
affair!. but when tho memory has been so 1
trained as to leta'm what i eivfllcd to it in
clas-ified order and Itriko it n ail ililo at every
moment of need, its value cmint bo ovor-o
tima'ed.
The Peoplo In no Mood to bo Trifled with.
It is noteworthy that nil the pleasant at
Durance which como from Southern papers
of Democratic nntecedcnU about the He
publican electing their Speaker at tho forth
coming session ol Congress are coupled with
very slgnilijant hints about the Texas Pa
cifiu subsidy. Now KHpuhllcan everywhere
would be cxcdiugly glad to see the II nlS
organized by tho el -ctloii of a ltepulillcan
Speaker, but If this Is to bo accomplished
by any coalition with the Texn Pacific lob
by, It would bo utterly dishonorable to tho
men concerned in it and utterly destructive
to the Republican pirty, nnd wo take occa
sion to warn all parties personal and politi
calconnected with any such schemo that it
cannot prevail. And wo give a word of
tlmetv ai'vlce lo nil Kepubllciins who aro In
the arrangement, that they would hetterstep
nut of It very promptly The Amoiican
people are in no mood to be trilled with by
any further sulnidies that will require hun
dreds of million of taxation from tho wholo
for tho benefit of !( part from tho many fur
the enrichment of the few. A Hepublican
Speaker on such term would bo too heavy a
burden for the party and too expensive a
luxury for the country. We don't want a

Till: WAK IN EUltOTK.
In view of tlio expected war between
llu-ia and Turkey, and facts relative to tho
respective strengths of tho-o two great
power must prove of interest, Very little
is known by a large proportion of the people
of this country, us to the size of the army of
either Jpower. Russia's military strength
exceeds that of Turkey to a far greater de
gree than would be supposed without re
ference to tho statistics of the subject. The
Ituian army on n war footing contain 1,
CM,3on troops,10."),H8 non-combatant,240,-R3S
horses and 2.C0S gun. In addition to
these, there i an irregular army containing
140,493 men, so that, all told, the Russian
force exceed 2,000,000 ; though there is
doubt whether many more than half of
these can be made directly available for a
war against Turkey. Tbo Persian army,
which is expected to co-oper.ito with Russia
has about seventy thousand available men.
The Turkish army on a war footing numbers
of all clasps, 010,100 men, of whom 130,000
are irregulars and auxiliaries. It is not prob
able that Turkey can bring into tho field
many over 400,000 men, so that Russia,
probably, hi an active campaign will out
number Turkey two or three to one. But
Russia ha long marches to make to get to
Turkey, and a tremendous line of co-nmuui
cations lo guard in tho rear of her supply
tram,.
The Turks ia tho Crimean war fought
well but they had the aid of the trained
troops of England and France. How well
they will hold their own against the forces
of the CVar, unaided, remain to be seen.
There is a possibility that Austria may be
como involved in the war and also that Eng.
land may feel impelled to take part in order
to prevent the supremacy of Russia over the
Dardanelles and the occupancy of Constan.
tinople. It i idle to speculate in the pre.,
ent condition of affairs as to what compli.
cations may arise. The war will be a fierce
and bloody one for it is after all a renewal
of the struggle of tho Crass and the Cree.
cent.
Since the above was written the formal
declaration of war has heen made. It con
cludes as follows: "In now invoking the
blessing of God upon our valiant armies, we
givo them the order to cross the Turkish
frontier."
Fifty thousand Russians have already
crossed the Turkish boundaries. At tho
present writing no collision had taken place
between the opposing forces.
