THE COLLECTORS APPOINTMENTS.
THB new Collector OF the Port Of Philadelphia,
Hon. Henry d. Moore, has now got his Office
into working order, and his course thus far
gives us promise of an honest capable, and
satisfactory administration of the affairs of the
Custom House, such as will be popular with the
merchants and advantageous to the Govern
ment. few tried and valuable attaches of the
Custom House have been retained on account of
their long experience, and without regard to
other considerations not affecting their eff
cheney; but the majority of the offices under the
Collector have been given to new men, In
making his selections Mr.. Moore has been care
tul to take only good men, who can be relied
upon to do their duty faithfully; and his ap-
pointees are all Republicans whose loyalty
under all circumstances and at all
times, has been proved, and large proportion of
them are men who have served the country with
credit to themselves as officers and privates
during the Rebellion This class is too often left
out in the cold when the distribution of offices
takes place; and while a competent civilian
should not be thrust aside for an incompetent
soldier, the men who fought the battles of the
country have the first claim to the Offices in the
gift of the Government. Collector Moore de-
serves credit for recognizing the claims of these
men in spite of the pressure brought to bear
upon him by the mere wire-pulling politicians,
and an inspection of the list of his appointees
VIII show that he has taken especial pains to
OBTAIN competent and reliable assistants. With
such beginning as this the new Collector ought
to gain the regards of the best and most infu-
entail portion OF the community and we have
no doubt but that his administration will be
creditable to himself, and demonstrate the wis
dom OF his appointment by the President.

FREE CUBA.

THE great meeting at the Academy of Music last
evening to sympathize with the efforts of the
Cuban patriots to liberate their beautiful island
from the despotism of Spain was such demon
stration, with regard to size, enthusiasm, and the
character of the participants, as cannot fail to
make an impression in all parts of the country
The names of many of our most esteemed citi-
zens figure in the list of officers and the speakers
were gentlemen of influence, whose eloquence in
such cause as this cannot fail to exert pow
erful effect. The demonstration proved how
warm are the sympathies of the citizens of Phi
ladepha for the Cubans in their present struggle;
and if it is followed by similar meetings in other
great cities, and the voice of the whole American
people is heard, it will undoubtedly cause miti-
cation of Spanish cruelty and encourage the
patriots to persevere in their efforts in spite of
every disadvantage and defeat

THE IRISH QUEsTIoN.-Both houses of the
British Parliament were engaged last night in
discussing the recent disturbances in London
derry and Cork. The opposition, of course
endeavored to make it appear that the chief re-
sponsibility rested with the Government because
it had not announced a decided policy on the
land question. The Government ministers,
however, maintained that religious persecution
was at the bottom of the trouble, and that the
position already assumed by the Government
and the majority in Parliament was an earnest
OF the intention 20 measure out full justice to
Ireland

MANN on MIsFoRTUNE.-Mr. William B.
Mann, the late District Attorney advanced some
very queer notions yesterday, in conducting the
defense of the young druggists clerk through
whose carelessness in compoundng medicines
Mrs. Hecht met her DEATH Mr. Mann asserted
that it was not the custom of Christian commu-
mites Ito repair one calamity upon one family
by visiting one upon another" We think
it was great pity that Mr.. Mann did not at
tempt to save the neck of Twitchell by a similar
argument. If it will hold good in any one case
where the calamity happens to be the needless
death sOf a human being it will hold good in
every such case and may be legitimately ad-
vanced in every murder that is brought
before the courts In enforcing his calamitous
theory, the ex-Distrct Attorney compared the
case to that of mother who, aroused suddenly
at night to attend a sick child, in her anxiety
and agitation administers the wrong medicine.
But District Attorney Sheppard soon demolished
this illogical structure and the jury returned the
verdict.asked for by the prosecution, that of in
voluntary mansaughter, accompanying it, how
ever with a recommendation to mercy. That
the case of Mr.. Bower is a very unfortunate one,
we will not attempt to deny, but the safety of
the community demands that something shall be
done TO prevent the future occurrence of just
such 'calamities"

A CLAIM AGENT was recently entrusted with
$1sO,000 TO be paid to the members of an Indian
brigade which served during the war, this being
the amount of bounty and back pay due. The
agent very kindly turned over to the Indians
one-third of the money, and kept the remaining
$1,000 for his services. 1t is needless to say
that he is not Quaker. While such scoundrels
represent the Government in its dealings with
the aborigines, we may anticipate an occasional
ekirmish on the plains.

A REPORT comes from Washington that Rose
Grams, the ham-strung diplomat, is negotiating
treaty with Mexico, which provides for the ces-
sion OF portion of her territory to the United
States, in return for money consideration. 1t
would be good thing for Mexico if she could
dispose OF every acre within her borders in this
manner, but we are not quite positive that the
purchase would be more profitable one than
that of Alaska.
