Both the editor mischief and as
sistant are absent this week. The
former left for Madison ON business
last Thursday morning. The latter
took unto himself = help-mest the
same day, and started on a wedding
tour up the "father of waters. y
Orders were left for US TO FIJI the
editorial chair during their absence.
We felt some misgivings as to our
ability to present any readable orig.
inal matter, being both youthful and
inexperienced. We however sum
moncd up courage enough to place
our diminutive self in the "easy
chair" grasp pencil and scissors
with trembling hands, and acQuit
ourself as best we might.
No particular orders were left as
TO the moral or political status OF
the Herald while under our charge
We therefore feel free to express

1t is very seldom indeed that ed
itors get into Office, on account Of
their views of things being 80 freely
known to the public. Men, tolerably
smart and capable of concealing their
views, especially upon issues dividing
the public mind, have no trouble in
getting into Office. An editors opin.
ions are public property; polite :
ian's opinions are his own and held
as closely as the miser holds his mon.
ey. Tie politician like the miser
makes a great ado about shelling out
his greedy stock in trade, but he new
er shells it out. And the more he
hordes it the more certain it is to
yield him official revenue.
We see it noticed that Richard
Smith, editor of the Cincinnati Ga
zctte is nominated for Congress, and
that the reason of his nomination is
that for several terms the people of
bis district have been electing men
void of principles having no ex-
pressed opinions previous to their
election. The fact of Smiths nomi-
nation on account of his avowed OPP
inions may be an indication that eds
tors generally are soon to have their
day like other dogs. Who knows!

Secretary hoOulloeh.

While self-respect may eventually
compel Mr.. McCulloch to leave the
Treasury Department, we trust that
ne will remain there az long as he
can. We have differed from him in
his policy of contracting the curren-
cy, but have never questioned the
rectitude of his intentions. Differen-
ces of opinion ss to that policy are
mere differences Of opinion, to be act
tied by time and experience. There
is a determined effort now making
by certain Eestern interests to have
the Secretary Of the Treasury remov-
ed, but the persons engaged in that
effort are not those who have hon
estly differed from him rs to ccntrac-
ton, but mere jobbers and punder.
ers who seek to displsce hin anc
foist one OF their own number into
the Treasury Department.
The national credit is an affair o.
too much Importance to be trifed
with. A staple policy, even if de
foctive in some particular, is far more
valuable to the country than chan rel
and uncertainties, and the panics
that must arise from a disorderly
scramble for the Office. We hop,
the President will spare the country
the infiction ofputting one, even
temporarily, in that Office who viii
derange and disturb the policy of the
present Secretary. Incalculable mis-,
chief would follow such a course

seems q degree of meanness, if not
downright dishonesty, perjury and
sel6shness, which 10 absolutely unac-

gotten out for the use of the State
Equalization Board, composed of the
members of the State Senate, to meet
this week at Madison. This Board
may, by adding or subtracting pei
cent. rates, make the whole into 8
tolerably uniform mass and not much
advantage be gained or lost. And

which assesses horses at only $780,

We rather guess the Board will ado

FROM WASHINGTON.

New YORK, AUG. 30.--The Times
special says it is well known that for
some time past the President has vir-
tually been in possession of the res>
ignations of his Cabinet officers
which had been offered verbally. but
recent events had induced them to
repeat the offer; and | am able to
state, on the best authority, that he
now has in his possession formal
written designations of every member
of the Cabinet.
In this connection, the fact that
jerry Black, who has been absent
from the city for several DAYS, has
been telegraphed to, advising him of
the change in the affairs of the Cab
ct, and requesting him to return
Immediately, is significant
The HeratdS special says in the
case of McCulloch, though probably
his resignation will be the last ac-
copied, from the fear of damage to
the public credit, still I am pretty
certain he will be permitted to with
draw after some time, and better
man appointed in his stead. The
idea probably is to familiarize the
public mind to the proposed changes
IN the treasury management Dy de-
grees, and not to make too sudden 4
change.
Among the rumors afoat is one
that Secretary McCulloch has accept.
ed an offer from Jay, Cooke Il Co. to
manage the new banking house they
are about to open in London. II
this is true it would certainly bear
cut the probability of McCullochs re.
tirement.
The Iritune's special says it is in>
tlmated that Grant will ask to be re-
lieved from the duty of the War
Office soon, as indicated in his cor
respondence yesterday. This is but
the beginning of the plan to carry
the next Presidential election by the
Democracy.
Changes in the Cabinet will Ger,
tainly take place. Stewards friends
say he will surely go. The old man
has been keeping very quiet lately
ana has little to say at the White
| House.

INCREASE OF TRAvKL.-Rvsry
packet which comes up has greater
or less number among it's passen-
gers who are pleasure seekers. The
present season has shown . great in.
crease over last season and the season
before. Speaking on the subject the
st. Paul Pioneer says:
"The stream of travel seems to
be widening and deepening. The
city is full of strangers. The same
story comes from every town and
city in the State. Every Lakeside
hotel and boarding house is full and
every respectable farm house whose
occupant can be prevailed upon to
take a few boarders for the summer,
is filled
We have class Of travel this sum
mer which we have not bad for six
or seven years past That is, pleas
ure seekers from the South. During
the long, sad struggle between the
North and South, that once large
and profitable class OF travel was cut
off. Now it has commenced in full
tide OF secccss. When the rsvages
of war are healed, and the South
again becomes wealthy, the summer
travel from the Gulf States TO this
Will be unprecedented.

Female Labor not Justly Compensated.

Il
We have often made the inquiry,
Why is it that women and girls who
are obliged to support themselves,
and not unfrequently an invalid
brother, sister or parent by their dai-
ly labor, receive SO small compen-
sation for their services !? 1t has
been estimated, and we think very
correctly, that the wages of those en-
ployed in the various shops and man.
ufacturlng establishments in all tho
cities, range from three to twelve
dollars per week, the average being,
probably, not more than FIVE or six
dollars; just think of It'll six dollars
per week out of which must come
board, washing and other expenses !
How do they contrive to maintain
themselves upon this meagre pit
lance Alas ! but few know of the
many hardships with which thew
have to contend. They toll on and
bear all in silence. Let us leave our
Comfortable homes and families for o
while and spend a short time in via :
iting the abodes of those who thus
give their time and strength to cap
itsiists and tradesmen for q trihing
confederation. We need not search
long for the dwelling place of one of
these overtasked, underpaid women.
We find them upon every corner,
and in every alley. We meet and
recognize them upon the busy streets,
by their weary, careworn looks. We
will follow one as she wends her
way to the place she calls home.
home to her, for she has no other. 1t
ia now nearly dark, and she is just
returning from the shop or factory
after a hard days labor. She carries
q bundle under her arm containing
some necessary household article,
or perhaps some delicacy for an in
valid parent, for which she has paid
the earnings of day. Let us en-,
ter and take survey of the apart.
ment; we find every thing neatly
arranged, and in order, yet showing
what efforts have TO be- made to
'keep the wolf from the door," how
they endeavor to present a decent
and respectable appearance, when
their income is barely sufficient to
provide them with the necessaries of
life.
We often hear men say: eve feel
perfectly justified in obtaining the
services of any person at as low a
price as possible" But we appeal to
your better feelings. Is it right to
take advantage Of the necessities of
another !? You know that these un-
fortunate ones who apply to you Tor
employment are Obliged to labor
and receive what you may choose
to offer them. You allow a great
desire for gain to fill your very
souls, to the utter exclusion OF all
kindly emotions; money is your god
you worship it devoutly; with you
it is alpha and omega; you "grind
the faces of the poor" to obtain it.
We feel that it is almost vain
to appeal to mon whose highest
ambition is to make money; Blu,
we sincerely hope o reform may be
brought about in this direction,
and that every woman and girl
whose circumstances are such thai
it is necessary for them to labor
hard six days out of seven for live
llhood, may have full justice done
Thorn. We certainly think that il
higher wages were paid them, il
would be of moro real benefit than tc
confer upon them the elective fran.
chiso.

~ The Louisville Journal contains
the following account of a-what will
you call it?
We saw, yesterday, most extra
ordinary monstrosity, shocking, en-,
ormous and horrible. 1t was q pig,
with a elearly defined human face
The chin mouth and eyes are partic~
ularly noticeable for their similarity
to those of man, though tho nose is
not so much SO it turns up very UNI
like q pigs and has no nostrils. The
animal was necessitated to eat and
breath through the mouth ut the
same time. The strange creature
lived thirty hours, and during that
time cried like child, made a noise
like an ape, and sometimes grunted
like pig. Its body is like a we'll
shaped pig, rather larger than those
animals generally are at such an age.
The owner of the SOW, its mother,
was afraid of it, and gave it to u
druggist, who had it preserved in all
