In Ohio tho I'rohlbltlonlst have taken
lead of tho two great parties by putting In
nomination a Stato ticket. The prohibl
lion question has gradually forced Its way
to the front Its great following now of In
tclligent and" promluent individuals has
placed it upou a basis so as to constantly
lie a menace to the Domocratlc and Repub
lican parties. That Prohibition Is growing
Is a fact no longer to be concealed, anil that
Republicans and Democrats fear Its power
Is undlsputably evident by the manner in
which they gradually drift temperanceward
lu framing party platforms.
The cordial fraternization of the Tllue
and Gray at Gettysburg on the Fourth of
July seems to be a realization of Abraham
Lincoln's utterance in his first inaugural
"We are not enemies, but friends. We
must not be enemies. Though passion
may have strained, it mnst not break our
bonds of affection. The mystic chords
memory, stretching from every battlofkld
and patriot grave to every Hying heart and
hearthstone all over this broad land, will
yet swell the chorus of the Union when
again touched, as surely they will be, by
the better angels of our nature."
Hbnrv Uuoiiok intimates that If, after
trial, his proposal to abolish private owner
ship in land should not result in the aboil

find somo other method to advance. Evi
dently a man who has once got In the habit
ef supporting himself byadvocatlnga reform
is nomiioiy to urop to the ordinary ivays
or making a living merely for lack of n re
form to advocate It Is, however, a strik
ing proot of the recklessness of the man
that he should be demanding to revolution
ary a chango as the confiscation of land
eyen though he confesses It to be an exper
iment as to the result of which he Is him
self somewhat In doubt.
Tue first Sunday under the new hlg'

question as yet uncertain. True it is that

the spot where reposes the remains of the

of men who did not so much for their
country as did Gen. Grant, ytt to-dav, al

I think that it was Daniel O'Connell who
remarked once, that "No act ot Patlla-
mcnt was ever framed througlr which ho
could drive a-coach anil horses ; " and after
le decision ef tho Supreme Court this
week. It Is tolerably evident that thero Is a
pretty large fracture in our Excise law.
Mayor Hewitt is nothing, If not a strict
constructionist, and several weeks aco he
called In question the tight of hotol-keepcrs
to supply the water of life and other, tooth
some and cxhlleratlns liquids to theli
cuests on Sundays, That the authority to
sell liquors on Sunday, by lnn-kecpors,
otherwise known as hotef-kecpers; had
been strained to Its uttermost limits, is be
yond question. In soma Instances three or
four cheap cots wcro stored in a room with
couplo of dirty blankets, and the ability
to afford lodgings for n half dozen tramps,
constituted an Inn ; and, of course, this in
cluded free drinks for all the policemen on
the beat. At the Hoffman House, the G 11-
scy tho Ilruuswlck, or tho Fifth Avenue,
men ordered a- cracker and cheese, and
with thenv several rounds of brandy and
water or whiskey straight. The open man
ner In .which this was done became a pub
lic scandal', and at last Mayor Hewitt was
appealed to ; he consulted the Corporation
Counsel, and in the plenitude of his legal
wisdom the Corporation Counsel opInloiC
that It was entirely In dofiance of law. In
this dilemma,- Captain Alexander Williams
came to tho front, and a conspiracy was
formed to make a test caso. .Everybody In
the city knows Captain Williams, and this
officer of the law en the Sabbath day goes
Into a hotel and orders liquor and gots It,
nil drinks it, knowing at the same time
that he Is aiding In breaking the law. He
then turns around antf swears- ft-ut a war
rant for the arrest of the hotel keeper, who
tood by while he took his drink ; and the
case is triod by1 Judge Lawrence in cham
bers. Tho language of the act is clear as
daylight, and it is substantially this : that
no one holding a llcenso for the sale of
spirituous liquors shall on tho Sabbath day
either sell or give the same away. No ex
ception is made for any class of sellers,
hotel keepers or others ; all are included In
the act, and Judge Lawrence so decided.
The case was appealed this week to a full
bonch, and tho decision of Judge Lawreucc
was reversed, A shout went up when the
decision reached us en Friday night, but
by some hitch It was not recolvcd by the
police authorities till late Saturday nlsht,
and on Sunday the bottle j again appeared
on hotel tables, and tho landlords and
guests were happy. The experience of the
past two Sundays will not be forgotten very
soon. 1 here was weeping and wailing and
snashinc of teeth when the temperance cy
clone first struck us : and now the hotel
keepers talk of holding a monster jubilee
on tho return to the ways of our fathers.
The theaters are closed and the churches
aro about ts be closed, the examinations
are past, and the schools shut their doors.
To the thousands of young men who haye
giaduated and are casting about In search
of an honorable profession I should un
hesitatingly say, choose the diamond field
or the prize ring. Both of these admirable
professions Open the way to honor and to
wealth,
TFc have In this city a number of great
journals ; they go into every family, and
any morning in the week you can learn how
Carney smashed Mitchell all to pieces, or
Dempsey knocked spots out ef Jack McAU
lid, or Billy the Kid knocked tho Spider
sky high ; and for fear that some of the in
teresting details might be lost to you, each
round Is minutely described, till" at latt one
of the brutes is knocked all In a heap, and
left for (load upon the ground. Tho snort
ing editor and reporter are exceedingly wall
paid men, aud rank infinitely above the
man who reports a sermon or tho delngs ot
a philosophical society. The Superintend
cnt of Public Instruction, haying charge of
thousands of our children with Immortal
souls In his keeping, is tho envy of his fcl
lows, on a salary of three or four thousand
dollars a year. A decent batter or catcher
In a baseball team will laugh at you for
such an offer, and tho purchase of one by a
Western club cost the club more money
thau Is paid to any minister in the United
States, and Hits did not Include his yearly
salary. I attended a ball match tho other
day, and I never saw greater honor paid to
moral man than was paid to a lucky catch
er who could scarcely write his uamo.
A few weeks since a prize fighting brute
came here from England looking for
fight ; since his arrival he has pounded
several men almost to death ; that he did
not completely murder them, was not the
fault of Mr. Carney, he did the best he
could ; aud now, after a short sojourn, he
returns to his native land, which Is Ireland,
his pocket stuffed with good American
bank notes, having earned during his short
slay more money than, was paid to the
President of the United States in the same
time. Who were the men who furnished
the. cash brutes or Caruey himself? Oh,
no I but fine gentlemen who could nfford to
pay fifty dollars a ticket for the sport. Hut
the wheat pit and the coffee pit have caught
some of these fine patrons of the deg pit
and the man pit, and it almost makes me
feel.bad, the growing unbelief In that other
pit, where flue gentlemen who go to prize
fights won't have to pay fifty dollars for n
ticket ; but they will find their hats chalked

Mr. Jake Sharp Is convicted, and even If
he escapes through some of the lino meshes
of the law, he will never forget the experi
ence of the past two weeks. Take a man
at seventy,-.' who has been 'revelllac In
court In his Own private carriage, instead
of bolni? sent In the-" Black Mitt-ln." In
Ludlow street jail he had tho most elegant
apartment ... tho prison, tho same occu
tiled by Tweed and Ferdinand Ward. This
brings the sheriff's deputy fifty dollars a
week, to which arc attached little perquisi
tes, wlileh will raise It to a hundred, not
a bed thing for tho deputy. Tho District
Attorney says that he has information of a
plot for Sharp's- escape at any rao, he
ridos no more in his own carriage, and his
family are not allowed to remain with him
In prison so that his punishment hat act
ually commenced, ne has lost his own
time " What aro you going to-do about
It ? " defiant air ; and ho looks llko a man
thoroughly broken down and heartsick. If
he had ever dreamed of his present pitiable
plight, lib would have put the- Canadian
boundary between himself and his pursuers f
but his faith in tho evil poer of money
misled him. no had found it all potent,
up to a certain point ; he had bought
Judges and jurors, legislatures and boards
of aldermen, and why could ho not buy his
way out now P The end is not yet ; but the
signs aro full of evil for him. Inside tho
walls of Sing Stng would bo a sad ending te
the life for Jacob Sharp. But If his evil
example of corruption ami success ending
In misery, fallurc-and disgrace, shall arrest
one young man who has chosen the wrong
road, and who- thinks that the accumula
tion of wealth is the only end of man, Mr.
Sharp will not havo suffered In vain.
This week has had Its lesson as woy as
the last. No blacker Friday has beet seen
for ton years. Manhattan off thirty points,
and lots of other stocks In sympathy. As a
rule margins are only ten per cent. How
many ef those were swept away on Friday.
Hundreds rushed In- to bolster tm the matk-
ct, and put up another ten per cent.; that
went and up went another, and when that
was exhausted they felt sick and gave up,
The outsiders sold ; and the Insiders,. Jay
Gouldr Russell Sage, Cyrus Field and their
crowd bought, and in a llttlo time Manhat
tan and all tho rest of the stocks will bo
back at the old figure.
Sunday was a field day among the ICnlght
of Labor and tho Home Club. One of the
most respectable and conciliatory of the
Knights of Labor In New York was George
W. Dunne, the Chairman of tho Committee
of Arbitration and Strikes. If an employer
had anything to say, Mr. Dunno listened to
him like a gentleman, and gave him a fair
hearing.- Ho was the most successful arbi
trator In tho order, and generally respected
by employer and men. Master Workman
James C. Qulnn was a bulldozer, who
seemed to think that cycry employer ought
to bo knocked In the head, and ho sought
to ride rough shod over eyery one under
him. At last a conspiracy was formed to
sclzo the ccutral power of the Knights of
Labor, which Mr. Dunne exposed last Sun
day. Qulnn deposed Dunne from his
chairmanship of the Committee of Arbitra
tion and Strikes on Thursday, but on Sun
clay Dunno knocked Qulnn so hieli It Is
doubtful if he ever comes down. The row
has caused tremendous excitement In labor
circles ; and as I prophesied a couple of
weeks ago a serious split Is at hand which
promises to divide tho order.

From our Special Correspondent.
Washing-ton, D. C., July 4, '87.
Mr. Editou. Notwithstanding the lint
weather which prevails here there are more
Senators and Representatives In the city
than weio ever known before in this month
of the year except when Congress was sit
ting. The only reason that can be assigned
for It Is that tho fiscal year of the Govern
ment closed on the last day of June and the
appropriations were available after July
first. It Is not generally known outsldo of
tho Capital that there arc more changes In
the Fedoral offices on tho last of June to
take effect the first of July than at any
other time In the year. It Is like seltlin,
up old accounts and starting with a new
force. Congress at its last session provided
for a large increase' in tho force of the
several departments, and also created many
new Federal offices throughout the whole
country, and It fs after thesa new offices
more especially than for retention of favor
ites In positions nlready secured that these
statesmen are here. It is pretty warm
weather to have to lislen attentively to an
peals for office, but still the President
stands the interviewing and importuning
with equanimity of mind, good nature and
proverbial stolidity. After the fatigue of
the day he drives out to Oak View and re
gales himself in the cool of tho evening
with pleasaut social chat with members of
his family and guests who studiously avoid
discussing any of the weighty care of State
Tho old Mexican veterans are happv over
the dispatch with which their claims arc
settled, Tho Pension office has recognized
the necessity of prompt action in those
cases owing to the advanced age of most of
the claimants and so has put a big force
npon them. If the papers are properly pre
pared and the claim substantiated when
filed, the claimants usually can obtain
final settlement in from two to three
months. As a rule In other cases it is
ypar or moro before they are reached for
action, and then comes delay after delay
caused by absurb calls for additional evl
dencc. As a rule the office requires :
claimant to prove his case many times over
by calling for such evidence that no court
would give any weight to. This serious
delay to the Interests of tho 'claimant Is
not willful on the part of the Government
but due to the total Ignoradce of the law
of evldonco by the large majority of the
clerks whose business it Is to pass upon
the sufficiency of the proofs submitted
There Is perhaps no bureau under the gov
ernment where such a large proportion of
its force should bo thoroughly familiar nith
the principles of the law of evidence as that
of the Pension Office, and yet it is difficult
to conceive of a less informed body ot men
on that subject than the clerks In that of
fice. If tho soldier element would demand
more efficiency in that branch of the gov
ernment It would get it.
The Civil service compulsory examina
tion in the departments for promotion It
now being hold and there is much anxlet
as to the result. Ths examination in the
War Department was closed one week ago
and the result just announced shows that
all except seven passed. What will become
of the lone seven is now the question. The
rules do not Inquire the summary dismissal
of these who fail to pass bnt leave it to the
discretion of the Department whether te
retain or dismiss. The probability is that
in most cases dismissal will follow as there
aro many applicants eager for the places
and as soon as it is learned that there are
places that can be consistently made vacant
under color of law, the appolutinjr power
will liavs no rest until the vacancies are
