military abilities as an organizer of

in hard-tuiigbt battles
In the tUl I, it reiuilns to consider him
as the planner of campaigns for the
conduct of a great war, whose Held of

In Ills letters to the President and the

to the s'ner.ils In command of the
several dUtant anples, he 'showed that
froin the very outset "ho had a masterly

On that day let all tecular business be
suspended and let tho people assemble
In their usual places of worship and
with prayer and tongs of pralso devout

every good and perfect sift for all that
lie has done for us In the year that has
passed, for our preservation as a united
nation and for our deliveranee from the
shockand danger of political convulsion;
for the blessings ot peace and for our
safety and quiet while wars and rumors
of wars havo agitated and alUictcd other
nations of Hie earth; for our security
against tho scourge of pestilence, whleh
In other lands has claimed Its dead by
thousands and tilled tho streets with

IMWi York Letter.
Special to tho Cakbon Advocate.
The. rapid chango that Is going on In
this city is startling. If you remain
away from a given locality a few weeks
or a few months, you havo to inquire
your way. In many parts of the city
whole blocksof buildings are being torn
down, to mako way for buildings more
magnificent and costly. A few years
ago tho splendid depot at Forty-second
Street was ample for our Inland com
mercc and now with Its capacity
doubled, there Is not room enough to
accommodate the mighty trains that
come thundering into it at all hours of
the day and night. As I stood looking
on the other night watching the arrival
and departure of the trains, I could not
help asking myself If tho Old Commo
dore would recognize the Grand Depot,
of which ho felt so proud, that he asked
no other monument. It seemed as If
the wholo neighborhood was quickened
by a new and wonderful life. Tho old
time gloom had gone the Interior was
as bright as day, there was hardly a
part of tha vast structure that you could
not have picked up a pin upon the floor.
It wa3 not the magnificent electric
lights alone electricity was everywhere
thero was no bawling or shouting or
noise; everything teemed to move with
the absolute certainty of fate. Electric
calls summoned porters and navvies to
their work: solemn soundlui: gongs
warned tho departing trains. The In
stant the hand was on tho dial the mon
ster began to move, and almost appar
ently without warning it dashed into
the gloom of the night. Even the hack
driver of 1855 Is a different animal from
tho hackman of 1815. In forty-five he
took jou by tho lapel of your coat and
dragged you Into his carriage, and If
you mado any resistance he punched
your head and taught vou better man
ners. Now, Jehu stands at the cate.
cap In hand, and asks you lespcctfully,
If your honor wants a carriage. A
wholcsomo dread of a policeman's club,
or perhaps the fnrfcltuie of his license,
has mado him, If not a moro civilized
being, at least more tolerable.
I thought some-few years since that
the crazo for flats was over; Instead of
which, they are going up at such a rate
that In a very few years the old fash
loned home will bo but a thing of the
past, unless rapid transit shall solve the
problem by carrying our wage workers
for a nominal rate out into the country
where land Is cheap. Sea what thou
sands aro doing In New York to-day.
All of our great manufacturing hciuses
aro down town; 76,000 of their opera
tives use the elevated roads. From
Harlem to the lower part of tho city Is
seven miles; nearly thirty thousaud of
the down town workers llvo in Harlem
aud Yorkville. It costs them ten cents
a day to make tho tfjp of twelve or
fourteen mllos, and the sixty cents for
railroad fare is a heavy tax on girls
making threo or four dollars a week.
Perhaps electricity may yet help to tolvo
the problem. Already wo have a suc
cessful electric motor on one uptown
railroad, and If they can only now re
duce the cost of the power, wc may con
sider ourselves on the threshold of the
Golden Age. Many of our streets are a
blazoof glory at night. One side of
Grand Street Is Illuminated with the
electric light for half a mile, aud all
through the llowery night Is turned into
day; tho same may be said of Fourteenth
Stre and mspy of the Avenues; It
seems to be a general verdict that-M
must go, and If that long hoped for uny
shalt over come thero will bo great re-
Jolclng. '
The most dramatic cpl.sodo of the
week has-been tho mooting In court of
the arch-thlcf Ward and his victim or.
accomplice, James D. Fish. With all
his sins, a man must havo had a heart

Fish's answer to the questions: Your

but those who watched him closely saw
a tremor pass over him, and when at
last ho did ralso his head, tho blood was
gone from his face; and It was tho first
time slneo the commencement of his
trial that he has shown the slightest
omotlon. Tho circles arc closing around
him. Tho man who by his Innate devil
1th villainy caused so much sorrow' and
disaster, it Is now hoped will soon he
Insido tho walls of States Prison. Now
rises tho question, will wo be able, by'
legal process to reach tho villains who
secured tho plunder; prominent among
them h Warner, who on the night when
tho wretch Ward sunk crushed under
the weight of his enormous gullt,rushcd
Into his home at midnight, and secured
what remained of Ward's 111 gotten
wealth. Will Mayor Graco hand over
to the receiver tho $147,000 he received
as interest and profit on Ward's nefarl
ous deals and contracts. It will bo an
evil day for Now York, If any of the
gullty ones escape; hunt them down
blg-and little. . .The conviction of Ward
gives us h6poof abetterday; wo breathe
freer, feeling that If tho mills of Go.1
grind Slowly they grind exceeding fine.
For tho present politics rulo the hour;
street bummers, tramps and vagabonds
assume their annual Importance, for
they becomo important factors lu tho
government of onr State and City. All
tho low lodging houses are full, as many
as a hundred being registered in one
dirty tenement In Fatty Welsh's district
in the Sixth ward. .For thirty days pre
ceding tho election these vagabonds are
fed and housed In theso dirty hives at
tho expense of tho candidate, and after
election are turned adrift to starvo or
steal as best they may.
As an cvldcnco of tho admirable
manner In which this city is policed; for
which protection, by tho way, wo pay
tho snug little sum of four millions of
dollars annually. On Tuesday after
noon in broad daylight on tho most
public thoroughfare in tho city, two
ladles were attacked, one had her
satchel snatched out of her hand and
the thief mado off with hts plunder; and
another lady had a gold chain tor.i from
her neck, but tho thief was pursued by
a crowd, and eventually capturcd.witha
loaded bulldog in his pocket, all ready
for murder, if nrccssaiy.
Slgnor Salvlnl Is back with us. and
although ho does not speak a word of
English In his plays, aud very little out
side of them, ho is aiving us a represen
tation of the classic drama which brings
back the golden age of tho stage. For
twenty-five years the American stage
has been drifting backwards. It seemed
to be the ideal of the modern stago to
make the men and women things with
out heart or feeling or soul; tho men
created by tailors, and tho women by
milliners and niautauinakcrs. All show
of feeling or emotion was sternly re
pressed; a man heard of his wife's dis
honor or his bister's ruin, and Invited
the betrayer to dinner; thu grossest
crimes were committed and condoned
without any more show of feeling than
you might expect from an Egyptian
mummy. From this dlsrcputablo and
demoralizing drama Slgnor Salvlnl has
raised us, and in his Othello or Moite
Civile, we have a man who feels like a
man and acta llbe a man, and Is a man.
Tho Metropolitan Opera House has
been well tilled to greet the great Italian,
and although tho performance Is polly
glot Slgnor Sahinl speaking in his
native Italian and the rest of the com
pany in English, so rare is the actor's
faculty and peerless his genius, that
triumph over this seeming Incongruity,
and even the most unintelligent of the
audience can follow him as If he wcro
speaking their native tongue.
All of the theatres seem to bo dolne
w ell. There Is soma grumbling about
the prices to see Mary Anderson, but
the manager says, that when one lady
draws a thousand dollars a night, the
prices must be high, If ho is to pay tho
rent of the theater, and the rest ef the
company. Tho fault is not with Miss
Anderson, who very naturally desires to
get all the can the fault lies with a
foolish public, who cater to the woman's
vanity and enormous estimation of her
self. She is actually engaged npon the
stago each evening, at tho most, one
hour, for that sho demands one thou
sand dollars, and gets It. That repre
sents the labor of two wen for one year'
at ten dollars a week,, and thero are

FROM WASHINGTON

From our Kcgular Correspondent,
' Vt.,n r. r. ...
WAu'NOTO!r, D. C Oct, 31. 85.
President .Cleveland's announcement
Mansion. Hitherto it has been tho
custom of tho placo men to go to tho
heads of tho departments consumo half
an hour of their time with the recital of
their story, and then call upon the
President and repeat tho process. Yes
terday svas tho last day upon which
they will be enabled, to go through this
useless proceeding. Hereafter office
eeokers and place-hunters will bo obliged
to goto the heads of departments and
state their cases to them, and tho Presl
tlent will abide by the selection of his
lieutenants.
The death of Gen. McClellan has
again broken up tho President's plans
for tho' reorganization of the civil ser
vice commission. Ho had trusted that
tho Gcperal would accept tho appoint
ment throush patriotic motives, and
then the nutter would have been settled
and tho advancement of tho servlco as
ouroa. now. mere aro several names
being considered, but It Is not easy to
got wen of suitable ability to undertake
tho duticspf the office. The President
Ins a very high Idea of the impoitanco
of tho commission and the pan It Is lo
play In '.ho organization of the govern
-ment from this time forth, and ho will
not be content to. have auy but men of
conceded ability and fitness upon It
Ho would select for those positions sucl
men as he would not think too small foi
his cabinet. It is quite piobablo that
the chief placo on the commission will
now bo offered to Judge Maynard, the
present second controller of tho Treas
ury.
Hon. William E. Suiith.of New York.
ha3 beon appointed Assistant Secretary
or the treasury In tho placo of Chas. !
Coon, resigned. Mr. Smith is a luwyer,
about forty years of age. and icsldes at
Pittsburgh, Clinton county, wlih an
olfice In New York City, whero he is
onoof the attorneys for tho Dcl'aro
and Hudson Canal Company.
Ho has been aleadcrof what Is kr
as the Young Democracy In tho State of
New York, and habce:i identified with
tho Tilden element of the party. In
1SS1 ho was tho leader of his party In
the Now York Assembly and was one
of tho moit lnlluentl.il champions of
Gov. Cleveland's reform measures. He
was a prominent figure In the delegation
ot young Democrats which went to the
Chicago Convention to urgo the nomin
ation of Cleveland, aud on his letuin
was selected to manage tho canvass In
-New York State. Tho skill and judg
ment which he displayed in that posi
tion-won for him in a marked degree
the confidence and respect of the Demo
crats and Independents of the State.
Treasurer Jordan says that tho state-
ments made by benator Sherman con
eerning the financial policy of the
Treasury In his speech at Petersburg,
Va.. last night, are misleading or abso
lutely liuse. ith relation to the state.
ninnt that $13,000,000 had been applied
to the payment of non-lntercst-bcarlng
certificates. Instead of to tho extinction
of the public debt. Mr. Jordan savsthat
Sherman blames the present adminis
tration for not doing a tiling that lie
would not himself 'dare to advocate
the anplieatlon of silver currency to the
liquidation of the public debt. If
Sherman, ho says, would advocate such
a thin" on the floor of the Senate. It
would kill him politically forever Such
a course would Injure the credit of the
country ami make It Impossible for the
government to get money except upon a
very high rate of Interest. If Sherman
advocated this policy he would he sent
back to private life, as Thurman was
when he changed his base on finance".
If Thurinan had stuck to the Green
backs be would have been President of
the United States now.
