Tho prospect of an adjustment of
tho difficulties detween England and
Russia aro not so encouraging. Russia
has sent out thirty-two war vessels,
fully equipped, and sailing under seal

throwing off the mask, declaring that
England must concedo its demands or

ious to delay tho commencement of
hostilities.
The steamship Roanoke, whilo com

ago with her elcctrio light in full blaze,
ran into n flock of canvasback ducks
and played sad havoc with them. The

brilliancy of tho elcctrio light, flow into
tho rigging nnd against tho houso and
hundreds of them fell dead on the deck,

Alabama, Missouri, Nebraska, Ne

Fred Douglass is reported to havo
said in a recent speech that tho repub
lican party is no longer tho party of
great moral ideas. Tho Philadelphia
J'rets says this is a joko which will bo
fully appreciated when it is remember
ed tbat Douglass .holds a fatofficoin
Washington and desires to keep on the
right sido of tho administration. Tho
IJress may bo right about this. Fred.
Douglass is a republican ana always
has been one, and as the practice of
that party is to keep in office at any
expense, it would not be surprising if
Mr. Douglass were carrying out tbo
teachings of his party, even if it be
comos necessary to repudiate it alto
gether. But is it not a little unkind
for tho J'rets to attempt to impeach
the motives of a man who has always
been one of tho great and shining
uguts ot tho U. u. r. 7
THE DOG TAX.
In the first number of the Sentinel
under tho new management an editori
al is printed under tho above heading.
Alter reierring to tho law requiring
tho county treasurer to keep separate
accounts of money arising from dog
tax, and appropriating tho fund to tho
payment of damages for sheep destroy
ed by dogs, the writer proceeds to
show figures whose compilation must
havo required some time. Ho says :
"Now speaking from recollection as
far back as 18G6, the said fund was then
more than a year in arrears. Now pass
ing up to Jan. 1, 1874, tho difference
between tho unpaid sheep orders and
tho uncollected taxes for said fund was
in arrcar 8435.G0 j in 1875, $G11.25; in
1870, 8393.65; in 1877, $185.12.
In 1878 thero was duo tho fund $16.
87; in 1870, S71G.18; in 1880, 1206.43;
and in 1881, $1785.83.
Then at tho settlement of Jan. 1881,
there was taken from tho dog fund,
and thrown into the County, tho sura
of $500; Jan. 1882, S950.00; Jan. 1883,
38G0.00; Jan. 1884, $600.00; Jan. 1885,
$813.38 ; making a total of $3723.38.
Now the point wo wish to bring be
fore tho publio is whether under tho
law tho County Commissioners and
County Treasurer have any legal right
to appropriate the dox tax to county
purposes.
Wo think thero is no inoro authority
to do tbat than thero would bo to ap
propriato county money to pay sheep
damages. And if we aro correct and
wo feel confident wo are, there is an
error ; and instead of doing this when
over thero is a surplus of dog money,
tho tax on dogs should be reduced or
abandoned altogether, or until such
time that said levy of tax on dogs is
needed for tho uses and purposes pro
vided for by the said act."
Tho law under which tho Commis
sioners havo acted in this matter, ap
pears to havo escaped the attention of
tho Sentinel, It was passed in 1881,
and reads as follows ;
Suction 1. "Jie it enacted, Cc, That
tho county commissioners of any coun
ty m this commonwealth, in which a
fund is raised by taxing docs for tho
purpose of paying for damages lone by
dog.' to sheep of residents thereof.
where the same is under the control of
said county commissioners, aro hereby
authorized to cause, from timo to time,
so much of the raid fund to bo trans
ferred to tho general oouuty fund, as in
their judgment is not necessary to pay
tho damages aforesaid.'1
Rut oven without this Act of Assem
bly, the commissioners would havo no
right either to reduce tho tax on dogs,
nor to aoamton it altogether as propoa
1 by our contemporary. Tho Act of
1857 passed for Ulair and oxteudfd to
Columbia county fixes tho tax ut 50
oents per dog. Tho Act says, it shall
bo tho duty of tho commissioners to
cuuso an accurate return of all dogs to
to be madu ; they shall lovy and cause
to be collected annually a tax of fifty
cents, t'to. This is mandatory and not
optional, and tuo commissioners could
bo compelled by mandamus to levy
and collect such tax.
From lliq abovo it will be seen that
thero U full authority for tho payment
of tho surplus of tho dog tax into tlio
v.oimty fund, and that thero would ho
no authority in law either for tho io
(luction or abandonment of tho dog
tax. "If wo are oorrect, and wo fool
conlldtnt we are," tho Sentinel is mis
taken.
Mr. Cleveland's Non-Partisan Administra
tion is What the Country Heeds.
Front fie FtaaU Zettung
In his appointments hitherto it is
certain that Mr. Clovcland has paid
very llttlo attention to tho claims of tho
machino politicians. Instead of this,
ho has placed in tho front ranks tho in
terests ot the publio service no is
evidently resolved to givo tho country
a good Administration, and ho leaves
tho discontent of tho Democratic poli
ticians to tako caro of Itself.
What will theso discontented Demo
crats seekers dot Will thoy turn

thoy let tho Domocratio party bp beat
en T Assuming that thoy do this, tho
question is whether tho Administration
would allow itflclf to bo disturbed on
that account. If it remains, tho Dom
ocratio offlco seekers will havo gained
nothing. But, assuming that tho Dom
ocratio party or that tho masses of
well-disposed citizens who with it gath
er around Mr. Clovcland should com
pel tho Democratic politicians to sup
port tho Administration, or, in spito of
tho politicians, carry it safely through
at tho polls, what then t
It must bo remembered that Clovc
land never pleased tho politicians, that
his nomination was furiously resisted
by a great share of them at Chicago,
and that, in truth, it was forced upon
tho Convention by tho roform element.
Will not tho samo force still suffice to
keep tho spoils politicians in subjec
tion t
If tho Cleveland Administration sat
isfies th mass of tho Democracy and
other citizens, thoy ought to bo in a
situation to crcato an organization
upon which tho Administration can
lo3n, and which will givo it in tho elec
tions the necessary votes, and in Con
gress enable it to carry through the
needful measures.
In tho oxperiment which tho Presi
dent is engaged in the government of
tho ptople is in a great degreo at stake.
If a good Administration is deserted
by its party for tho simple reason that
it is good, and if it finds among tho
people no compensation for this deser
tion, tho mainstay of our important in
stitutions would bo broken, and thero
would be no hope for any lasting re
form hereafter.
Ko Faith la retltioni.
President Cleveland tells a story of
how ho lost faith in petitions for place,
which has a moral. When ho was
elected mayor of Buffalo tho first va
cancy ho was called upon to fill was
that of chief of police. Thero were a
number of applicants. Ono of theso
had a mammoth petition in bis favor
signed by any number of the citizens
of Buffalo. Mayor, now President
Cleveland, was impressed with the
magnitude of tho petition and tho emi
nent respectability of tho signers. He
was about to confer tho appointment
upon tho much indorsed applicant,
when ono or two of his personal friends
entered an objection, and said that tho
contemplated appointment would not
do. "But," said Mr. Cleveland, "look
at tho signatures to this petition in his
favor." After some persuasion, Mr.
Cleveland, at tho request of his object
ing friends, agreed to hold tho matter
open for a few days. In a day or two
after a second petition was presented
by these friends to Mr. Cleveland. It was
signed by somo of his most personal
and valuable friends. It was address
ed not to Mayor Cleveland, but to "His
Excellency, tho Governor of New
York." It recited that Mayor Clove
land vas not fit to hold ofiice.tbat he was
guilty of embezzlement and misdemea
nors and ought to bo impeached. These
allegations coming from his best friends,
Mr. Cleveland was at first startled.
Then the explanations followed. The
paper had been signed by men who
had not read its declaratory preamble,
and who would not havo signed it if
they had. Still it served tho purpose
to show how easy a thing it is to get
a number of Biguatuies on a paper.
Mr. Cleveland confessed then and
thero that ho was not as much impressed
with tho much endorsed applicant for
tho chief of polico as he had hereto
fore been, and gavo tho appointment to
another man. Just now this scrap of
history will servo to Bhow that Presi
dent Cleveland is not overawed by a
mammoth petition recommending can
didates for office. He has had exper
ience of how easy It is to manage such
matters.
WASHINGTON LETTEE.
(From our Keirular Correspondent.
Washington, April 22, 1885.
President Cleveland has had as much
hand shaking as usual to do this week,
and unless somo ono shall
soon invent
nnd patent an automatic
presidential
hand shaker thero will bo need of a
deputy or assistant president to per
form this duty alone. Negro delega
tions havo predominated at tho White
ti . rpi. i : .i ,i
IIUUBU U11S IVt'UK. 1 UU UIBI1UIJS mm
pastors of tho African Methodist Con
ference called upon tho President, and
their foreman made an introductory
address which was uearly as long as a
sermon. Tho same day Mr. Cleveland
and his Cabinet reviewed tho emanci
pation procession of colored people,
which passed belore tuem as they
stood on the front portico of the presi
dential mansion.
In tho Departments tho work goes
bravely on, and to thoso who know tho
past condition ot tho Departments is tiius
saying a great ueai. iv rcmaricaoie
chango has coma over thorn. Tho
clerks are all doing real worK, and sur
prising everybody and especially thenv
selves. For soveral years past it has
been very unusual to find a depart
ment or a bureau ot a department hero
in Washington with tho current work
up to date. It is not uncommon to tmd
offices months behind, and Borne of
them even longer than months. When
over anything of1 this kind has happen
ed llttlo success has attended eitoris io
even up the business. Sometimes, it is
...... . . - .-
true, this has been occasioned by union
extra work imposed on a force not
quite sufficient in numbers, but ccner
ally it lias been duo to ineiucient and
lazy clerks, whoso interest in tho pay
roll over shadowod completely their
concern in tho work ot tho Govern
ment. Changes now going on indi
cate that this Imp-hazard way of doing
business has had its best days. Those
Departments and Bureaus which aro
behind with their accounts and reports
aro to eatch up with tho current busi
ness, and Khcn that is done each day's
work is io lie finished each day.
This is as it should be and is just
what every well-regulated houso would
havo douo by its own employes. It
will necessitate, of course, a thorough
pverhauling of tho different bureaus
and tho dischargo of idlo aim incapa
ble clerks of both sexes, who havo
heretofore relied upon political influ
eucu to keep them in place.
It will demand tho retention of good
servants and tho displacement of bad
and the general recognition that a dayV
work must bo given lor a days pay,
An occasional howl ot rago in tho
Republican morning paper announces
that the official head of a Republican
worker has fallen into tho place of
walling and gnashing of teeth, but as
yet this good work has hardly begun.
There will bo more of it anon and if
tho Republican paper is going to howl
about such a llttlq thing as chopping
off official heads, it will havo to issuo a
doublo sheet and an extra edition.
Somo Democrats aro impatient at tho
dolay in discharging n class of Republi
cans who oro notoriously unfit for their
places; but theso should relied that It
requires time to select proper substi
tutes, and consider tho tremendous
difficulties that confront tho Adminis
tration. There are knotty logal ques
tions to bo considered in the matter
and tho manner of removals. It would
be just as rcasonablo to substitute a
lull lorco ot now employees in n waicu
factory at a singlo stroko as to contend
that tho President should at onco turn
tho Republicans out and rcplaco them
by Democrats.
Tho "committee on economy" which
is inouirinc into tho methods of busi
ness in tho Treasury Department will
bo engaged for somo weeks, perhaps
months, before they aro ready to re
port "Thus far wo havo sim
nply
bu-
scratched around in a fow of tho
rcaus," said ono of tho committeo to
day," and as it is our intention to go
right into everything, we cannot rush
things through in a hurry."
With tho entranco of a new Admin
istration thcro was naturally considera
ble interest felt in society ciroles as to
tho ladies of tho Cabinet and their
characteristics. From all accounts tho
impressions formed by contact with
Miss Cloveland nnd tho ladies who will,
for the next four years, bo prominent
factors in tho social world, aro of tho
most flattering description. Somo of
ladies of society horo paid particular
attention to noting tho effects of the
new element and their verdict was that
society was in safo hands and no disa
greeable frictions would occur.

SON NOR A CHANDLER.
All contracts for tho construction of
ships for tho navy contain a clause re
serving ten per cent, of tho prico to be
paid as a protection to the government
and a guarantee of faithful perform
ance. After completion, if satisfactory
inspection is passed, this reservo fund
goes to tho contractor. If tho work is
not satisfactory, tho reserve fund is ap
plied to remedy imperfections.
A clause of this character binds tho
contacts with John Roach for tho con
struction of tho Dolph'iD,tho Boston tho
Atlanta, and the Chicago. Tho Dol
phin is tho only ono of tho four that is
finished, but that vessel has not been
yet accepted by the Secretary of the
Navy. A commission of officers has
been appointed to decide whether tho
conditions of tho contract havo been
carried out.
Mr. Roach mado a claim on the re-
servo fund before either of tho ships
was completed. Tho new President of
the Advisory Board demurred to any
payment, until after tho final inspect
ion. Mr.Chandler insisted that Roach
could be partially paid from this re
serve, in proportion to tho work done.
lo procured an opinion io mis uuuut
from "Brewster. Attorney-General."
and tho Advisory Board receded from
its former position.
Koacli received largo sums irom uio
reserve for tho Dolphin, the Atlauta,
and tho Boston, right in tho face of the
contracts and against tho practice of
tho department. The act of March 3,
1883, which authorizes ine construc
tion of theso ships, says:
No such vessel shall bo accepted un
less completed in strict conformity with
tho contract, with tho advice and as
sistance of tho Naval Advisory Board.
Mr. Chandler drafted this law him
self, and tho Robeson Congress passed
it in conformity with his wishes. Mr.
Roach now objects to a proper com
pliance with tho terras which ho origi
nally prescribed, with tho view of dis
arming opposition to tho projects ho
had prepared. It is not pleasant for
tho engineer to bo hoisted with his own
petard, and Mr ltoach does not nice to
bo held to "strict conformity with the
contracts''nor to bo inspected by the of
ficers who havo no tear ot Uhandlcr
before their eyes.

On the tablo at the bedside were sev

There were also ono or two letters and
sheets of paper on tho table, ono of the
latter containing tho following words :
'Took poison at 10.10; head clear at

Two of tho papers found on the ta

had been written when the Doctor had
evidently intended killing himself in
Philadelphia. It was dated in that
city, and was as follows ;

New York Letter to Jlaltimore
American.
Tho Now York newspapers havo sot
on General Grant what they term tho
death watch. Ho may die at any mom
ent and may bo allvo three months
hence. But whenever he docs dio tho
newspapers must instantly havo the
news; hence somo ono must watch tho
houso for tho newspapers all the timo.
The chief papers havo hired a conven
ient room close to tho Grant residence,
and there all day and all night sit a
group of reporters waiting for General
Grant to dio. Thoy have books and a
card-tablo and tho daily newspapers,
and whatever occurs to them may bo of
aid to pass away tho wearisome hours.
Thoy aro well paid for their trouble,
and among them aro somo ot the most
trustworthy newspaper men in the city.
It is very rcsponsibilo work, and men
who aro of irregular habits aro not sel
ected for it.
At stated hours in tho day and night
the Graut mansion is visited and Col
onel Fred Grant tells the reporters
how tho General has just passed tho
preceding hours. Twice a day and
just before midnight the physicians are
seen, and they tell tho reporters tho con

Tho work speedily becomes reduced to

lamily and tho physicians much more
freedom than when the bell was rung
twenty-five times a day by the repre

information. Tho newspapers head
quarters in Grant'i case has becomo
noted already, and is bound to becomo
more so as the time runs on.
Probably it may not bo kept open so
long as was the room in which tho re
porters waited so long for the death of
Commodore Vanderbilt. There tho
death watch was kept up for just soyen
months, and a jolly time, indeed 'the
boys had. The room became a club
room, known to half the newspaper
men in town, and they dropped in and
out, and played cards and had a good
time generally. Charles O'Connor, too.
gavo tho press of New Yoik much
trouble and expense, and euded it by
getting well instead of dying. When,
years afterward, he did die, at Nan
tucket, ho got a very brief notice. An
other notablo newspaper wait was in
tho long absenco of tho jury in the
Beecher-Tilton suit. There, too.a room
was h'red, and tho newspaper men used
it whilo waiting for the verdict that
nover came. Tho chief newspapers
havo obituary notices of General Grant,
descriptive of his last days, headings
and ovcrything save the baro announ
cement of death nil set in type and
made up, ready to rush out an extra
with all possible haste after the fa
tal moment is announced.
The Farting of Lee and His Qenerals-
from the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazettr
Amid tho ruins of their capital, with
bare, bowed heads, in utter silence and
bitter tears, Leo and his Generals sep
arated aud went their several ways to
homes destroyed, families broken up
and scattered, and often into exilo and
oblivion.
The final parting was in front of
Leo's mansion in Itichmond, two days
after Appomattox. Leo s house is an or
dinary square brick, standing alono on
Franklin street, ono snuaro trom tho
Capitol. All the other houses on tho
square are connected. Upon tho after
noon ot tbo second day alter the sur
render peoplo in that vicinity were sur
prised to see come ruling up tho street
rom the south a company ot Uonteucr-
ato horsomon. Thoy were unarmed. ,1 heir
cray uniforms were worn, soiled, and
often tattered, their trappings old and
patched. Ihey wore slouched hats,
and here and thero was a feather ro
mainiug of tho onco smart and jaunty
drooping plumo of the Confederate cav
alryman. They were bronzed and
browned aud bearded. They sat erect
and carao on with the splendid horse
mauship for wbih they were noted.
Upon tho collars of some of tho gray
jackets could still be scon the faded
and tarnished gilt stars, the emblems
of tho wearers' rank.
In front ot them rodn Lee. His two
hands held the loosely swinging reins
aud rested upon the pommel. His head
was bont. aim his eyes wero looKing
straight ahead from under his down
cast brow, but they seemeu to seo
nothing.
As tho troops cantered up to ins out
home his horse Btopped at the gate,
aud he aroused himself suddenly, as
f i om a dream, nnd oast his eyes upon
familiar windows and then around over
tho group of gallant soldiers who had
followed Ins lortunes lor lour bloody
years aud gone down in defeat uuder
his banner.
Tho end of it all had oome at last.
He throw himself from his horse, und
all his companions followed his action.
Thoy stood hat in hand, with an arm
through tho brldlo rein, while l.to went
from man to man, grasping each hand,
looking intently into each face as
though ho would prces itupon his mem
ory forever. Then ho turned and walk
ed through thu gate and up tho steps to
his door. As iv servant opened thu
door ho paused with his left foot upon
the veranda, his rjglit upon tho l st

Not a word had been spoken, not a u ,);1

but that of sobs as these unkempt nnd

at last. His hands were over his i ,
