Custom House CnANGEs.-Mr. NJ. Z
Chase, who has held the Office of Deputy
Collector Of Customs at St. Adams fol
several years past, has been remoced and
Major Josiah Grout, for nearly three years
past Chief Deputy Collector of Customs
at Island Pond, appointed in his stead
The appointment of Major Grout cannot
fail to give very general satisfaction. lie
is lawyer by profession, and has AN hon,
orable army record, having served as Sec
ond lieutenant and captain in the 1st YER
mont Cavalry Regiment for two years.
He was afterwards stationed at St. Adams
as Major of the Frontier Cavalry, where
he won the esteem and respect Of our cit
liens. We gladly welcome him to St.
Adams, believing that he will prove use
full and public-spirited citizen. He will
we understand, enter upon the discharge
Of his duties on Saturday. Transcript.
We are most happy to be able to add
our testimony in favor of Maj. Grout. In
Sept. 1861, he enlisted under us in Co. |,
Vt. Cav, and upon the organization Of
the Co. was elected its I'd LIEUT., being at
the time only about 10 years of age, if
we recollect. correctly. We ever found
him a competent, respectful and efficient
officer, earning his successive promotions
by hard and honest service. In the at
fair with Mosby'a men, at Broad Run, on
the LIST of April, 1868, he received Sc
we're wound which was thought for time
would prove fatal, but which we believe
has finally left him in a good degree of
bodily vigor. We know nothing of the
causes of Mr.. Chases removal; bit he
being removed, we can think of no better
man for the position than Major Josiah
Grout. Unless he has changed since we
knew him in the service, he is thorough
ly honest and competent man. Another
appointment has been given in the same
department to another man who wore straps
in the same honored regiment, over whose
record the mantle of charity--oh, sweet
est sister of the sacred three! is thy
garment ample enough for this 2--needs
to be drawn. Yet, alas, when the truth
Of our history is known, the mask must be
torn from many consummate knave!

Cuban Matters.

New YORK, May I.
The World asserts very positive thls
aorning that within month not'ess han
ls,0o0 men have left Charleston New
Orleans, Baltimore and New York TO
ioin the Cuban insurgents and large guam
titles of arms have been sent for men al
ready in the the field. 1t also says; AS
we 20 to press a private dispatch has ar
rived stating that the steamers Peru ana
Lillian; engaged in carrying hilbusters
from New Orleans to some point contigu'
ous to the Cuban coast, have landed al
the island of Grand Inoqua, some IL
hours steam from the Florida Keys, and
the filibusters have gone into quarters and
are waiting for reiniorccments, The Cu
ban question is causing the admlnlstra
tion considerable embarrassment. It's
deemed advisable to give the Spanish
government no cause of offence but at th'
same time nothing is to be done to retarC
operations in this country in favor OF tn
Cuban reyolutioaists unless the notice o
government is officially called to them.

The Providence journal intmates that
Senator Sprague has gone deliberately
over to the enemy, and by way of proof
cities the Congressional directory for the
second session of the Fortieth Congress,
where Mr.. Sprague's record reads, "ecct-
cd to the Senate as Republican" In
the next, or third edition of the directory
tins was changed by Mr.. Spragae hanscli
to read, ''elected as a Democrat," This
refers to his first election, and as there is
no doubt that he was 'clected as a re.
publican" the second time, he probably
wants to be able to show that in his descr.
ton now, he is only going back to his
first love. .DfA
The fight opened by the Senator in his
speeches RACES in Rhode Island with the
greatest bitterness. Senator Anthony's
term expires in 1871, and of course
Sprague and his friends oppose his re,
election, lighting him through the Provi.
dence Press, while he is supported by
IfBrown & Ives" the great rival firm, and
apparent by majority Of the people !; but
the great wealth, wide business connec.
tons, and long control of the politics oil
the State by Sprague, give him hold on
a great many men in that little State,
and as the aght has broken up party lines
the tcsults are doubtful. '.
The approaching city election in Provi-
dence, turns on this issue. Mayor Doyle
who married Tor is to marry a sister of
Senator Sprague, is a candidate for re-
nomination, supported by the Sprague
faction. The Republican Ward caucuses,
to select delegates to the city convention
TO nominate Mayor and city officers, were
to be held on Thursday evening. The
chief of police, Stafford, beiag an anti
Sprague man, issued an order on Sunday
to the captains Of police TO detail five
policemen to each ward room, and instruct
them to prevent all persons from entering
the rooms not belonging to the Union Re-
publican organization. Mayor Doyle
thereupon issued a counter order, revok-
ing that of the chief, and telling the police
captains to specially charge the men not
to attempt to decide upon the politics Of
any citizen. or presume TO prevent the
entrance of any orderly citizen INTO any
Ward Room. j.>I-i
The Rhode Island papers Of course are
full of the matter and the trouble will
be worse we fancy before it is any better.

BATH HoUsEs.--In the heat of this
unusually sultry weather we turn again
to the subject of bath houses. There is
nothing the male population of Norfolk
needs more for real comfort than public
bathing houses. Nothing more refresh
ing in such heated term could be i'm
agined than good cool bath. The alb
sence OF even single bath house IN our
city is public calamity-we cannot at
the present writing, with our body at
the temperature of 1O2 degrees in the
shade, call it anything else-and the
enterprising individual who would sup
ply the public with this much needed
and resuscitating accommodation could
not be regarded otherwise than bene-
factor; besides the undertaking would
pay, handsomely. Who will establish
bath house ?

| A PlTY.-It is pity that man has
60 much of the horse and so little Of the
| OK in him. At the bottom of the hill
the horse will pull bravely once, twice,
thrice, then if the load start not he will
pull no more. So it is with the men of
capital in our midst, they commence an
enterprise and will 60 bravely on with
it until they meet difficulties, then their
ambition and enterprise begin to grow
less, but they will make one or two ex-
ertions to surmount the impending dan.
gers, but if they prove unequal to the
task they give it up forever, Not so
with the OK he will not become dis
couraged, be will start at the bottom of
the hill and pull through the whole
morning. If the load start not be will
pull all the more, and patiently will add
hour after hour to his endeavor till he
perform the task. That is the sort of
stuff that should be found in men.

THE DAY BOOK.
FRIDAY MORNING, July 1e, 1869.
A PUBLIC PARK.-The people of this

A PUBLIC PARK.-The people of this
city have long stood in need of a public
square or park-where, after the cares
and tolls of the day, the merchant, the
clerk, the mechanic, and the ladies and
children may resort and pleasurably
while "the evening hours away" We
are undoubtedly progressing; then let
US have a park, for We can never claim
to be a city of any note until we have
one, however pretentious we may be in
other respects. We have fewer pleas
ures, fewer walks, fewor drives than
any other city of the same size, and
similarly located, on the continent, and
this question of public resort is an
important one A neat and welloar-
ranged park would pay.-literally pay
for it would add dignity to our city, in
crease its prestige, and thereby attract
strangers and keep them here-some
temporarily; others permanently, per-
haps. Otherwise they would, doubtless
merely "pass through" and not stop
day Or two and spend some money
with us, which would inure to our
common benefit, and help us along
amazingly. Such attractions make
great cities, and if we wish Norfolk to
become one, we must have them; then
let US commence at once by instituting
a park.
Nothing, we are assured, would prove
moro acceptable to the majority of our
citizens, and we hope the authorities
will without further delay commence
this work which they have held in con-
sideration so long. We are by no means
forgetful Of the fact that the city finances
are not in the most Furnishing condi- |
ton at present; but the accomplish
ment of such an undertaking would, in
a short time, increase, rather than de-
crease, our finances. The authorities
then should, in justice to the citizens,
move this matter without further
dallying. In the same connection we
would remind the authorities that the
company who propose in good earnest
to establish street railway ian account
