CHICAGO, June Oath 1869.
As We are now passing through the
dull season for business; we have an
abudance of time for observation and
study in other directions. AS samples of
the extremes of life III this city l will de
scribe two scenes. Last Sunday morning
a new church was dedicated in the North
Division. After the services were con-
cluded, subscriptions were called for and
the handsome sum of $4,000 was sub
scribed. This is the manner in which
church debts are taken care of. Alas for
human depravity, look at this picture: In
a place which is half theatre and half con-
cert saloon, the attention was divided be-
tween the performance and the manevres
of a youngster Of twelve years. Dressed
in the latest fashion, this youth invited
the crowd ''to take something" After
displaying large amount of juvenile de-
pravity, this little rascal was taken off by
policeman. It appears that he is the

THE PRESIDENTS APPOINTMENT OF
MIR. robson.

The appointment of Hon. George NJ.
Robson as Mr.. Bories successor in the
Navy Department furnishes to our oppo
nents another occasion for saying much
that is uncalled for, bitter and unjust
against our noble President, Mr.. Borie
and Mr. Robson. The Chicago Evening
Post speaks on this point very justly as
follows:
"We would thank some man among
those who are accusing Gen. Grant OF
folly, weakness, tavoritism and want Of
comprehension, to state, what he has done
to merit the censures that are so freely
bestowed upon him for his management
of the Navy Department? WMt evidence
have we, that the appointment of Mr..
Borle was not fit to be made? lie is a
gentleman of intelligence, of character
and of undoubted patriotism. He was
eminently successful in the management
of his own affairs; and, but for the fact
that he is in delicate health, there is no
reason to suppose that he would not have
made first-rate officer. That he had
little political reputation-tha he was not
known as brawler, spouting out political
common-places enlivened by malignity
and smut, all over the country-is fact
greatly to his credit. We are only sorry
that his increasing physical infrmities
have prevented him from remaining at
his post to vindicate by his economy and
wise management the excellence of the
Presidents choice. But as he is nothing
bat a thorough Republican, who stood by
the country with all his might and mind
during the war, and as he is a friend of
the great leader whose skill and devotion
at the head of our armies saved the Re
public, give him a kick and let him 90 |!
And now about Mr.. Robeson: Why
assail him in advance? Is it an 'ofense to
be called to high official station by the
President? If not, what else is he guilty
of, that his nomination should be thus un-
kindly received? True, he is not widely
known; but is that reason why man
of capacity should always remain un-
known? Why not give him trial before
condemning him? General Grant is not a
fool. He sees or supposes he sees in his
nominee the timber ofwhich good head
of the Navy Department is made. Why
not wait the result of the trial OF that
timber and see whether they are not the
| GROWERS who are mistaken. If it is be-
| lieved that party with a solid front to
present to the common enemy is no longer
desirable in this land in which all Copper
heads have ceased to rautle, and in which
the malignancy Of the rebels has been
changed to songs in praise of the Union,
the policy to which we refer may be all
| well enough, if it can be reconciled to the
dignity and truthtulness that are demand
ed of Republican Journalists

COMMUNICATED,

EDITOR Dear sir noticed
in your last issue, with surprise, and al
most with incredulity, that it was SER
ously proposed, in this goodly town of
Manitowoc, to celebrate, on Sunday next,
the 4th of July with Salute, Parade,
Grafton, and reading of the Declaration
of Independence, at Washington Park. "
| say | noticed with incred,1tty. During
all my life [ have never known Of such
celebration on Sunday. Some one has
mentioned to me, that it is said that
never before did Independence Day
occur on Sunday. 1t occurred on Sun
day, withia the period of my remem-
brance, in IS4l, Al, so, SO, and now
again in l669,-fve times within thirty
years; but because never celebrated be-
fore on the Sabbath in this Christian
land, it is not strange that the impression
has gained some currency that it meyer
before happened to come on Sunday.
This celebration is. ostensibly, to place
honor upon the birth dag Of our freedom,
and to show patriotic regard for our in
stitutions and laws But, Mr. Editor,
the act is a trampling upon express stat
ute laws ws:-dishonoring and practically
anuulllng institutions and laws which it
Processes to honor and that it should pre-
serve and perpctuate. Chapter lS3, Sec.
E.h sc .bo Por;eo5 St,l,+,. e IU;,oone,,
declares, "No person shall keep open his
shop, warehouse, or work house, or shall
do any manner of labor or business or
works, except only works of necessity and
charity, or be present at any dancing, or
any public diversion, show, or entertain
ment, or take part in any sport, game, or
play, on the Lords day, commonly called
Sunday; and every person offending shall
be punished by fine, not exceeding two
dollars for each offense" How the pro-
posed spic mic, and evening balls at the
Turner Hall and Union Hotel of the
printed programme regard this statute
in its letter and in its spirit, | have no
need to say. This is the law of Wiscon-
sin.
Gods law is, Remember the Sabbath

the pen of the Evangelical prophet what
the keeping of the Sabbath holy is. 1t is

Sabbath delight, the holy Of the Lord

Mrs. Livermere, the Chicagoan wo-
mans rights champion, drew large
audience to hear her a few nights ago.
Mrs l.. is the head and front of the
: ''Agitator" and is now fast winning an en-
viable position as public speaker.
Our German fellow citizens have work
ed themselves into Juror over the usage
they receive from the authorities Of the
municipalities surrounding the city.
Their pic nics are usually held On Sunday
and they have become indignant, that
they cannot sell as much liquor as they
wish without paying heavy license fee.
The town south of the city prohibits the
sale of liquor altogether and the one
north imposes license fee of $50.
One of the worst nuisances that has
ever tormented this city, is the squatter
element. Land belonging to absentees is
the place usually selected for the erection
of cabins and the home of the pigs.
Many of these settlements became popu-
lous and powerful, but the majority of
them have disappeared. The Sheriff
was called upon, to break up one of the
last of them yesterday. Its inhabitants
had defed the owners and it took a large
force to clear off the squatters and give
the rightful owners possession. There
was imminent danger of bloody fight
at first, but the police effectually accom-
plished the work amid the curses, prayers
and jeers Of the departing inhabitants.
The Mayor of Kansas City has favored
the Mayor and members Of the City
Council of Chicago, with an invitation to
the formal opening of the bridge which
spans the Missouri at that point. This
is connecting link in the grand railway
artery which taps the Southwest. The
managers of the G. B. & Q. R. R. have
gradually built up road that has no
superior in the Union. Now their road
forms the Chicago end of this unbroken
route which is pushing its way to the
Pacific and Texas. Already the stock of
the G. B. &. Q. stands above that of
any other road in the West and the con
tinued extensions will send it up still
higher.

WITH SUPPLEMENT.
REMOVALS AND APPOINTMENT.

We suppose that but few have read
the details of the wholesale removals
which have been made, and are still being
made in Washington and throughout this
Republic, for no other or better reason
than that some ether one wanted the
Office. Every day renews the fear with
which public employees look upon their
desk or examine their mail, fearing to
receive the notice Of their removal, while
on the other hand the character of many
Of their successors is SO miserable and
unfit, that one cannot suppress the con-
vichon, that something must be done to
remove this disgrace. What is to become
of an administration which by its ap
pointments acts in such a manner, as
fully to convince every observing mind,
that character, eapability, honesty, justice
and mercy are only empty names, but
that party obligations are the supreme
rules and guides for all who have an
Office within their gift.
We do not ask that our administration
should become kind of earthly provi-
dence, but we must declare, that Gov
eminent who manages its administration
in manner not only to weaken but
almost to destroy the peoples faith in
the value, even the existence Of honesty,
integrity, selt-denial, diligence and at
tentiveness, is acting In direct opposition
to public and private morality and patriot
ism. Every removal of an officer who is
dismissed for the only reason, that he
must make room for another person, who
knows nothing about the duties of the
Office, is lesson for the youths of our
country, that cheating and fattery alone
lead to success, but that faithfulness and
diligence are no longer of any account
whatever.
The bestowing of an Office (be the same
worth much or little) upon person void
Of an unblemished reputation, produces
necessarily carelessness for trying 70
preserve an honorable character, and
increases with our people the conviction
that good luck, persevering audacity and
a slippery tongue are the main requisites
for official success.
The question of reforms in our public
appointments and removals is much less
important in a material, than it is in
moral point of view, although the mater
ial Importance in itself is almost immeas-
urable. The events of the last six
months have improved the prospects of
successin making reforms very materially.
Many of the most bitter party adherants
begin to acknowledge the urgent neces-
sty Of a change in this respect, and it is
only necessary for the obtaining of a
complete success, that those who feel
how degrading and disgraceful it is, when
public opinions represent almost wholly
the worst elements of the national life,
should press strongly and fearlessly
towards that point. We have succeeded
in silencing the advocates of reputation
and secured the honest payment of our
national debt Our duty now is, to bring
up the system of our administration to
the standard of our American society,
and we shall be crowned with success and
blessings of uncalculable benefit to the re-
publican institutions of our beloved coun-
try

honorable; and to honor him, rot doing
thine own ways, nor finding thine own
pleasure, nor speaking thine own words.
| know that some claim that these re-
quirements we're obligatory upon the
Jews. They are the requirements of the
God Of the Jew and of the Gentle too;
and are as extensive in their obligation, as
the will of G cd is declared. Our Savior
has told US in Mat. 12: 1-13, what works
are suitable to the Sabbath and in har-
mony with the spirit, and object of it's
required observance and these works
are works of Necessity works belonging
to Religious Worship; and works of
Mercy just what the statute laws of
Wisconsin contemplate and allow.
And, now, Mr.. Editor, I submit, that
the proposed celebration will seriously in
terfere with the moral and religious uses
to which, [ suppose, nine religious congre-
cations of this village wish to devote our
next Christian Sabbath; that this pro
pOSCu CelcDfdtlOil Is d udulleSG VlOldClOu
Of the statute laws of the commonwealth
Of Wisconsin, and that it is in violation
of the distinct requirements Of Almighty
God. And in view Of such proposed
violation of personal rights, civil law, and
Divine command, I hereby publicly, and
solemnly. as man, as patriotic citizen
and as a minister of the gospel Of our sal
vation, protest against such use of the
Christian Sabbath IF this protest is all
that |. OF any one else can do, or may
be disposed to do; my manhood, my love
for my country, my respect for religion,
my reverence of my maker, and solicitude,
that his sacred commands be not wanton-
ly or thoughtlessly ignored and violated,
impel me, as the least I may do, to give
utterance to this my protest against the
proposed celebrationof our national birth
day in our village on the next Lord day.
Respectfully Yours,
