- Virt President Whielee i by
no means a visionary man. He looks
upon tbe recent order of tbe presi
dent M to office holders as not only
inexpedient, bat impracticable. .
B reason of tbe folly of tbe last
House, Congress was prerented from
making tbe necessary appropriation
to tbe War Department, and as a con
sequence we are not in a condition to
cope with tbe Indians. It must be
remembered that it wan tbe first
cbance tbe dough-ftced Democracy
bad to punish the army, and tbey
gladly took advantage of it to pinch
its stomach. They owed tbe War
Department this snub for its rigor in
opposing a rebellion in which tbey
had so much at stake. You know,
it is a long lane which bas no turn.
Ir strikes us that "Gobble Grower"
o( Oregon, .made a slight mistake
when be coveted an investigation
Into the manner of bis election to tbe
U. S. Senate. Tbe wsy the wit
nesses before Senator Morton's com
mittee are swearing to the use of
money in that transaction, looks
mighty discouraging to his chances
of proving himself an honest man.
Soon we will have the history of
another Tilden reformer, brought to
pot.
News comes from Ilarrisburg that
George W. G. Waddell, of Green
county, chief clerk in tbe Auditor
a
General's office, has been discharged
from that position on account of a
generally debauched course of life,
and because he was committed to
jail for brutal treatment of Lis wife.
G. W. G. W. was one of the Demo
cratic "reformers" who were so
dreadfully anxious to have the Gov
ernment regenerated and purified by
tbe election of Tilden, and tbe dis
placement of the bad and corrupt
Republicans holding official positions.
Like most of the blatant Democratic
reformers of tbe day, he proves to
hare been like unto a whited sepul
chre. -
Speaking of the order lately pro
mulgated, that two persons of the
same family shall not be employed
or retained in the civil service in the
departments here is a pleasant little
extract from a Washington letter:
There was an old man who bad served i
for years In the Sixth Auditor's office, who
was so unfortunate as to have a son in
some other department. Both had famliea
who lived separately, and both were in
valuable clerks. When it was announced
that, under the new rule, one of them
must pn. the old man chose that the ax
mlxHiL? fall tinon himself instead of on his
son. "But," said he sadly, "when the
war broke out 1 had five brave and hand
some sons. I gave them every one to the
I'nion army, and no fault was found then
imnw at 'relationship.' Only two of
them came back to mo. One fell at Get
tysburg ; another was left among the "un
known dead' in the Wilderness ; and the
third laid down his lite at Antietam. Five
sons were not too many to serve the
country then."
The colored citizens of South
Carolina are agitating tbe question
of emigration to Liberia, and it is
alleged that several thousand have
already joined an association organ
ized for promoting and providing for
emigration.
The whites of that State are awak
ening to tbe danger of thus losing
this valuable laboring population,
and the most profuse promises of a
different state of thing?, if the colored
brother "will only remain," are be
ing made. With their past experi
ence of broken promises and violated
pledges the "darkies" are not likely
to be fooled. Tbey know that the
South Carolinians are as prone to
lying, as the sparks are to fly upwards.

Ain't some of the tricks and thin
frauds of tbe Administration, getting
just a leetle-me-bit too zealous over
tbe President's policy ? At tbe out
set it was announced as an experi
ment an attempt to conciliate tbe
South by extending the olive-branch
in good faith. It was to be judged
by the result, and if not a success,
could be changed.
But now, when every indication
points to a disastrous failure, these
same superserviceable friends are de
manding that it shall be uncondition
ally endorsed, and bluster and scold
and denounce those who do not agree
with them. Better go alow, gentle
men ! Republicanism as a rule don't
take kindly to the pile-driving style
in experimental politics. If we re
member aright, Andrew Johnson's
attempt to "force things" wasn't a
memorable success.
can BUniireaaJa-aay pramnces
freemen, and assert and enforce our
rights at tbe ballot-box, we believe it
to be tbe part of wisdom to refrain
from tbe unequal and hopeless cue
test." They extend to President
Havel Sa ases ranee bf their prayer-
fel.BalbX .earnest goodw ill,
and affirm that the condition which
they deplore existed before his acces-
sion to the Presidency. Tbey say:
We have confidence in tlie wisdom and
patriotism of President Hayes, and paral
yzed and powerless as we are, we pro
foundly regret any effort, , coming Iron
any quarter, to weaken bis arm, or which
milittend in the slightest decrees to
render unsuccessful tbejhigh experiment in
salesmanship which be w now mating.
To obliterate the color line in politics, to
enforce tbe laws by the civil power, to
reconcile hostile sections and to bring into
one harmonizing national brotherhood all
the conflicting elements of our common
-country, u an enterprise so crand in its
conceptions and so holy in its purpose,
that it should, and we trust will, command
the admiration and united supiiort of all
good men, without regard to personal
partisan considerations. - '

There is not held to be in politics
much room for sentiment,' but there
are many who will be touched by the
address from which we quote. There
is in Mississippi a Republican ma
jority of at least 30,000. The State
Administration, when in tbe hands of
Republicans, as wisely and eco
nomically administered. Tbe rights
of all people, of both parties and
both races, were protected. The
shot-gun campaign was inaugurated.
Tbe Clinton massacre followed the
massacre of Yicksburg, and the Re
publicans lost the State. Grant neg
lected to send troops to Ames when
they were asked for, and the result
was seen in the establishment of
Democratic ascendency in a State
legitimately, naturally, and honestly
strongly Republican. That ascend
ency is now prolonged by the open
and unequivocal retirement of the
Republican party from tbe Geld. It
is yielding to tbe inevitable that is,
to the inevitable results of the policy
which holds that protection to the
citizens of a State is unconstitution
al and impolitic.
There was nothing else for the
Mississippi Republicans to do .except
to fight and that they were wise
enough not to do. What bas been
done in Mississippi will be -done in
the three late Republican States, we
suppose. The policy has already been
begun in South Carolina, and we
may be sure it will not be - long de
layed in Florida and Louisiana. So
we have at last the "Solid South."
Will there be a Solid North in oppo
sition ? - v

forbidding office-holders to tako a
part in politics Col. A. C. Sands of
Cincinnati, in a published letter to a
friends make the following pithy and
sensible remarks: -
It begins to look as if Blaine's
suggestion that another slice of Mex
ico is longed for, was cot mere idle
talk Under orders from head
quarters our troops have crossed the
Rio drande into Mexican Territory,
in pursuit of marauders who had
raided into Texas. This is an overt
act of war, . which the Government
should have thought of several timea
at least, before its perpetration would
have been permitted on our Northern
frontier. . But then, there is a vatt
difference between meeting the forces
of John Boll, or a few battallions of
Mexican Greasers. The cost of a
war with Mexico would of course be
repaid by a few slices of territory-
enough say to make two or three ad
ditional States wherewith a Solid
Sooth would be enabled to control
the Government for a generation or
two at least
Apart from this, it is not pleasant
to citizens prond of their country, to
bave it placed in the position of a

Committee. The" Committee say
any they "have deliberately conclu
ded to recommend that no State Con-
. as to civil service retorm l am
free unhesitatingly to declare that
tbe Administration has made a mis
take. Tbe declaration, in the Presi
dent's inaugural adress, that tenure
of office should be secure so long as
reputation remains untarnished, and
the performance of duties satisfactory,
is in a measure commendable. I
would, however, for reasons which
seem to me defensible upon the high
est principle, couple with it, as requi
site to retention in office, "fealty to-
partv." A party in power is respon
sible for the excellence of its civil
service, and it but invites its own
destruction by. 'proposing to -retain
enemies in its own camp. One of
the most thoroughly democratic Presi
dents that ever lived I use "demo
cratic" in the sense of "popular" and
mean Mr. Jefferson declared as his
rule of civil service, upon attaining
power, that he would not interfere
with the politics of Federal officials.
provided they were not openly antago
nistic to his Administration. In that
contingency he promptly, difcharged
mem, as serious obstacles to bis
usefulness a course which I take to
be both expedient and commendable
So as to the order prohibiting of-

nce-noiaers form taking part in
political management. The best men
of the party should certainly be
selected for office ; and as certainly
tbe best men of tbe party should not

example, from active participa

publicans holding office in the State
of Obio, is to discbarge the flower of
your army at tbe very moment when
yon are entering upon a fight They
are the men most experienced in po
litical, work; tbey are tbe men from
whom we have tbe most right to ex

retention ia office, I can see no
earthly reason, as I certainly ean see
no earthly right, for debarring tbem
from exerting that highest preroga
tive of en American citizen tbe
prerogative of making hia own
rulers.
And as to the converse of tbe
above rule tbe question of whether
Bice should be given as a reward
for political service, there is a vast
deal of illogical demagogoery uttered
upon that subject also. In all de
partment of public .life good service
commands pecuniary recompense.
it Bbooia command it from tbe Gov
ernment as wen as irom the mer
chant from the party as well as
from the corporation.. . That "virtue
is its own reward" may hold in ab
stract ethics; but we well know that
in politics, and ia every branch of
human pursuits, there mpst be some
more tangible recompense held ont
if we would invite a high grade of
performance. For a party to refuse
to avail itself of opportunities to ; re
ward those faithful to the princi
ples, and of service to its cause, la to
place a ban upon sncb faitbfulaess
and service, and to labor for its own
destruction. Of course there U
abnndant room for reform in tbe be
stowal of office of -course personal
fitness should always accompany
political service but to that . the
party itself is constrained for aake cf
ita owa eafety. It is responsible for
the character of its own servants
remove that responsibility, and you
do that which most contributes to
deteriorate the public service. There

Tbe dogs have a hard time of it
here every summer. There are thous
ands, and sometimes at night by tbe
bowling, I think millions of home
less and ownerless dogs, besides the
thousands that have a local habita
tion and a name. The city has an
enormous pound, with kennels and
su!tJ"V"fcnd""att ' dogs not muzzled
and bearing a tag with tbe word "Li
censed" on it, may be caught, put
into tbe pound and, it not claimed
within forty-eight honrs, drowned.
Once each year the Mayor divides
the city into twenty-five districts, and
appoints a catcher for each, who gets
thirty ceota for every doo? not licens
ed and muzzled that be secures. fcve-
rvbodv who misses a valuablo dog
croes at once to tbe pound, and
nibe cases cf ten finds his pet The
annual catching commenced July
first, and a queer tbing It was. Tbe
police found men in partnership with
tbe catchers, who had collected from
fifty to two hundred does. In tbe
country, wbicn were to be turne
over to tbem. and the profits of tbe
speculation divided Boys of a
sizes and decrees of dirt ranged out
into the neigbborin;? villages, captur
ed every dog possible and dragged
them into town, for the fifteen cents
ner head that the catcher would a!
low them if the property could
delivered where no one could see the
transaction. The regular catching
is done after three o'clock in the
morning. Tbe catcher has a female
dog trained, and a dczen other assist
ants. Immediately alter be appears,
dogs of every possible kind issue
from the alleys and courts, and by
skillful manipulation tbey are canght
and thrown into a wagon with
wire net, until it is full, when they
are driven to the pound and incar
ceratcd. This is a season of cot
sternation among tbe owners of dogs.
Tbe catchers who are as regardless
of tbe rights of owners as any other
highwaymen, boldlv demand ot nerv
oos widows and ancient maiden la
dies who have pets, a price for imtnu
nity, and if the price is not forth
coming, the pet somehow turns up
missing-. It is some consolation

work, and that there is a cbance

An immense smuggliug ring has
been broken up by Cap'.. Bracket
of the Custom-Houte. The officers
of the National Lice, eight years ago,
went into partnership witb one Scott
in the smuggling of silks and laces.
The method was very simple. Tbe
troods were brought in ibe cabins

people in the Custoin-IIouse they
were permitted to be landed without
examination, as . personal property
Where there was too much, these
valuable goods were packed in bar
rels of plaster or salt, or something of
a similar nature, tbat was presumed
to have come out as ballast, and con
venient stores in tbe city were provid
ed for its reception. . Several heavy
merchants in the city were in tbe
trade ; in fact, there was a great
deal of money in it, and the business
was as regularly carried on as any
other. It is estimated tbat Scolt and
his partners have smuggled goods
worth two millions of dollars within
tbe eight years the business has been
running, which,' as tbe tariff on the
(roods smuggled was very high, bas
made a rather comfortable thing of it
Ten culprits are now in the bands of

The work of clearing out tbe Cus-

now making an effort to get sympa

great deal of dirty linen washed in
this matter, which would justify the

from Irish op to every nationality on

THE MENONITES.

to this country are not Irish. .A ship
load of llastlan Menonites landed

It appears from an official state

of Statistics, that there were imported

nial Exposition, which were subse
quently purchased by oar citizens,
amounting in value to $731,593,13
and upon which there were duties
paid to tbe amount of $250, 004, 30
This, of course, represents but a small

In the application of civil-service

1 bat class known as Departmental
Detectives, who are specially charged
witb tba duty of watching clerks and
other employes in their private walks
and conversations, and to report de-
inquencies, is referred to. It appears
tbat each department is supplied witb
a eorps of this character, and it is said
tnat close- examination will prove

is further said tbat these officers f J
nars been empioyea by malicious en
emies, to become instrumental in des
troying private reputation, and con
sequent removal irom place. If one
an tbe rumor; tbat are afloat be
true, the Ilead of a Department who
win order a strict scrutiny into tbe

People of the hardest description
were allowed to congregate on the
streets and corners, to the terror and
intimidation of the ordinary public,
and indeed to tbe indignation of the
Orangemen, who pledged themselves
not to make a demonstration. At
an early hour the streets were lin- d
with loafers, who were strangers,
most of them armed, who indulged
in remarks as to what they wonld do,
and pointed to tbe contents of their
pockets. Both Oringemen and
Catholics, evidently expecting troub
le, were prepared for it.
Orangemen proceeded quietly to
tbe church this morning, singly or io
little squads. It soon became ru
mored on the streets tbat afwr son
vice they would come down town in
procession, bearing the Union Jack,
which it was supposed would not
arouse adverse feelings. In antici
pation of this thousands harried off
to the vicinity of the edifice, but still
there was space iusido the church.
Tbe congregation was small. Rev.

Chaplain of the Supreme Grand
Lodge of British America, and Grand
Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of tbe
Province of Quebec, who officiated,
worereealia of the order, and ft num
ber ot people in the bodv of the church
carried orange lilies.
Following are tbe accounts guen
of the proceedings of to-day by eye
witnesses: About 12:20 p. m. a shout
went up in tbe neighborhood of Craig
street, and instantly there was a
rush in that direction. A young man
in gray clothes was seen running for
shelter, pursued by a large crowd of
men and boys. When he got on tbe
steps ot Robert Dunn ti Co's store be
found the heavy door closed. Lead
ers of tbe mob tried to pti'l him off
the step3, nearly tearing his coat off.
A young man said to be a clerk in
McMashen's s-.ore, rushed forward
to protect'him. One of tbe mob was
about to strike this ftl'ov, when he
fired several shot. Almost at the
same moment shots were fired at him
by persons in the crowd. One strnck
bim in the forehead, when be fell.
When he was down other shots were
fired at him, for what seemed a long
time. No one went to his assistance,
and be lay bleeding on tbe sidewalk.
Policemen soon arrived, and tbe
wounded man was placed in a wag
on, a- white nanaitercDici aroppea
over his face, and guarded by some
police, he was borne away.
A very painful leatore of tbe af
fair was the behavior of the mob.
when the Protestant clergyman called
fjr prayer for the dying maa. The
reverend gentleman was rudely
pushed back, and despite tbe mute
appeal of upturned eyes of tbe poor
victim, be was not allowed to ap
proncb, and so bis soul passed
away.
Want of anything like provision
for order was generally remarked.
Sots seemed given complete control
of tbe streets, the surging crowd
largely made np of persons longing
for an outbreak. No ettemnt-was
made tv disperse them. As tbe
body of tbe nnfortonate man was
driven off some inhuman roaghs look
off their hats and waved tbem with a
triumphant air.
A voaosr man, J. A. Morrison, of
II. II. Simms & Co., was badly
bruised and beaten by tbe mob.
Chas. Boone. Edward Giroux and
Mr. Ileoihaw were also badly woun
ded in tbe fray. I bore u every
prospect ot disturbance durio? tbe
night. Precautions have - accord
intrly been taken to prevent further
serious consequences. Ibe general
disposition of the crowd is igarress-
re. Tbe younr mai wbc.'ost bn
life was Thomas L. Hacker, travel
ing clirk of McKillop's Agency, an
Orangeman and member of the
Church of England. . lie had no re-
f alia, but carried a revolver and
fired a shot from tbe steps of Cuon's
store after be was attacked.
Another witness of tbe shooting
affair gives the folio wing: Tbe crowd
of Irih bad been watching in Red
igand street for a rqsn who bad ta
ken refuge in a bouse there after
protecting a lady who was insulted
for wearing orange lilies. . About 20
minutes later a young man dressed
light clothes, who went from the
honse, was said to be him. and as be
had orange lilies, tbe crowd ru.ibed
sftor him. When he got in front of
the adjoining building he attempted
to run into Fortification lane, bnt the;
crowa was too closa, and tbeu a
gentleman interfered, Stalin? tbat
he would take the young fellow's
part At this the mob turned from
the man first pursued and . attacked
the other. The first man then eot
'ear, and rushed into Punn's store,
and tbe second man attempted to
follow, but tbe mob had those inside
shut the door, and be was at tbe
mercy of tbe crowd.
In this position, elevated above
the surging mass, be drew hia revol
ver and fired Into tbem.; The mob
then began to fire, when two balls
struck Hacket, and he? fell to tbe
ground, and shorUy after expired.
Police subsequently cleared the
square. The crowd is watrhing at
the railway depot in expectation of
the Orange Young Britons' return
from Cornwall, when they would get
a warm reception. It is just announ
ced that tbe boys will not return nn
till to morrow morning. The city is
in a ferment Thousands are congre
gated about Orange Hall, and mis
chief is feared. Trouble is expected
at tbe place where tbe Orange dinner
takes placj. The Prince of Wales'

The losses by tbe furious hailstorm
that swept over Rodman, Green Set
tlement, A dams Centre, aud the ad
jacent region on Tuesdvy, foot up to
? 100,1)00. This is principally suf
fered by farmers, many of whom are
ruiced. A gentleman who was io
Adams Centre during tbe storm de-
scribes tbe scene as having been ter
ribie. Tbe storm came from the
south-west." Hail fell for thirty
minutes ' in vast quantities. The
stones were cf enormous size, some
of them weighing half a pound, and
meusoring-nine inches in circumfer
ence. They covered the ground
nearly a foot deep. Many persons
who were caught in ihu storm were
badly injured before they could find
shelter. One man was driving
team near tbe village, and was so
badly hurt before he could leave his
wagon and crawl in under a bridge
that he chanced to be crossing that it
was feared be would die. A young
man named Green was hit in the
head by one cf tbe hailstones, in
reaching nut of bis door to secure
large one that had fallen near, and
was rendered unconscious. Some of
the hailstones were sharp, square
nieces of ue, some as lar 'f a i 3 by
inches. Horses and cattle were ki 11
ed in tbe fields, and growing crops,
orchards, and gardens utterly ruined
for miles. Washburn's Hotel, Alsop
Clock, and Hunerford Collegiate In
stitute were damasred to tbo amount
of several thousand dollars. Expeo
sive memorial windows in the cburcb
at Adam3 were destroyed. Not less
than 10.000 panes of glass were
broken ia tbe place. Tbe principal
losers by the storm in Adams Cen
tre and Green Settlement are Wei
come Clark, Washburn Brothers,
Evan Griffith, Garret Bruce, Martin
Bearing, W. Jumay, John Smith,
M.D.Bruce. Georee Green, Adno

Ibe damage ia Adams and vicini
ty is $10,000. After the storm it
took an hour to clear the side-walks
and streets of the accumulation of
hailstones. Tbe village presented an
appearance of tbe utmost ruin. Bran
chesof trees filled yards and streets,
dead chickens, geese, pigs, and dogs
were strewn on every side, and every
vestige of vegetation was destroyed.
Tbe little village of Green Settlement
was almost demolished, and great
so Bering exm'.es among tbe people,
For five miles around tbe complete
ness of the ruin presents itself.
At Rodman tbe storm ot bail las
ted l. minutes, and was then follow
ed by a deluging rain which lasted as

ams followed ruin and desolation on
every band. Ibe damage is 4 0,
000 in Rodman. The storm there,
although occurring simultaneously
with tbat at Adams, seems to bave
been distinct from it, as it came from
tbe south-west, while tbe Adams vis
itation was from the north west. The

were nearly suffocated. Tbe coal
from the Brookfield mine is hauled
out by a locomotive engine. Ibis
morning managers of tbe mine order
ed anthracite oal to be turned m tbe
engine furnace, instead of soft coal
beretofor used. About 11 o clock the
engine passed into tbe slope. After
being in a short time the men in
charge of tbe engine became suddenly
affected by the gas from tbe bard
coal, causing tbem to fall to tbe
ground in a senseless condition. Tbe
engineer managed to make bis way
back to the mouth of tbe bint and
gave the alarm, at which a large num
ber of men rushed into tbe bank to
rescue tbeir comrades. One after an
other tbey passed in, but were almost
immediately overcome by the gas,
and tbey too fell insensible. After
several bad thus fallen a gang was
organized to rescue those , who went
in last, and squads of four or five pass
ed in until tbey came to a fallen com
rade, when tbey would take bim in

were brought out, six of whom were
