And nos comes an as in literature, who
gravely proposes to distinguish between the

two dots under the former letter. An inhnitsly
simpler and surer distinction will be found In

observance Of this plain rule viii prevent any

The recent changes in the federal offices at
New York have been variously received in that
city, and 1t is pretty hard to accurately sum
Marie the expressions OF opinion on the sub
ject. The appointment Of Mr.. Hllhouse as as
sistant treasurer appears 10 be uniformly con-
coded TO be one of the best that could be made
and that Of Mr.. Davis as United States attorney
is generally well received; but In the appoint
ment Of Mr.. Murphy rs collector of the port, the
tran sfer of Mr.. Grinnell to the naval ONCE, and
the consequent displacement OF Gen. Merritt,
the weight Of opinion unmistakably indicates
that the Pre- lent has made very grave mis-
take, considered from nearly every point Of
view. OF course, the whole affair turns on the
custom house and its immense patronage; and in
regard to this We suspect the truth might be
briefly expressed in q general way by saying
that Mr.. Grinnen, being an old fashioned mer-
chant and business man, sought to conduct its
affairs business principles and in the interest
Of gov, rnment, and that Mr. Murphy, being q
politician, win be expected to run it as politi-
cal Institution and in the interest Of party.
Whether the public wiz be the gamer by the
change remains TO be seen And whether Mr..
Murphy win administer the office at all or not,
is still an open question. At present his conhr-
N a.ion by the Senate 10 considered somewhat
doubtful.

AS there is hardly any evil entirely unmixed
with good, 80 II turns out that a portion of the
great public living in the cities and the large
towns will be able to reap some benefit from the
action Of Congress in abolishing the tax on the
gross receipts OF corporations. Under the new
order Of things the street railway companies
viii be obliged u reduce their fares the extra
cent they are now allowed to charge for the pur-
pose OF meeting the tax OF eighth of a cent
assessed on their gross earnings. This is some
compensation, but in a very small way For in no
other manner can the public reap any advantage
whatever from the seven or eight million dollars
thus taken from the national treasury. In NO
other case will prices be reduced a single Earth.
ing, and nobody believes or pretends that they
VIII be.
Manifestly, the proper thing for Congress to
do IN the premises is to keep the tax on gross
T. cor t. as heretofore, with proviso allowing
stree railways to collect the extra whole cent as
now, where but a single fare Is paid, but COM
pelling them also to sell eight tickets at an iu-
crease Of only single cent over the price they
were allowed TO charge for that number before
the passage OF the law imposing the tax. This
measure would be just and fair, both in law and
equity! and IL is to be regretted that there can
not yet be found a majority of legislators who
have enough regard for the rights of the people
and are sufficiently free from the power of
moncI ohes to secure its enactment.

The statement in the New York papers that
the government will lose half million of dol
lars by the Bailey defAlcation, because his bond
only for 800 600 while his deficit is stated ut
500 goo, Is not the exact fact Into this sum
enters the assessors lists of taxes to be collected
which were charged up to the collector and In
turn transferred to his successor, and the bulk
Of them may yet be in that way realized to the
treasury.
BY the same process Mr.. Callicot, the i'm
prisoned Brooklyn collector, was made out de-
faulter. in the face of . certificate from his sue
cessor in Office that every cent collected BY him
had been accounted for and paid over. But the
two cases are not otherwise analogous. Bailey.
the acknowledged defaulter, goes scot free, per-
soDally. Callicot, who was only charged with &C
eepting distIller's bond knowing 1t to Be
worthless or fraudulent. was imprisoned for two
years,-under Law, as is alleged, which had
been repealed before the trial took place. How
ever that may be, his real offence in the eyes of
those who convicted him consisted in having
once been elected speaker Of the New York as
sembly and in that capacity casting the deciding
vote which elected Gov Morgan to the United
States Senate. But for this little circumstance
he would probably never have been disturbed.

[From the Philadelphia Press
g Discharged for Disability
Important to Soldiers.


The decision rendered this weel
in the Supreme Court, in the case
Of the United States against Hos
mer, is one of more than ordinary
interest to u large class Of ofpersons
who are the last to find out theil
own rights, and too often the first
to be imposed upon by thet'agents
or attorneys. The Supreme Court
after considerable delay, now de-
cides squarely that soldiers who
enlisted in 1861, for three years OF
the war, and were discharged on
surgeons certificates of disability,
within two years, are entitled to
their 500 bounty equally with
those who were discharged for
wounds, or the heirs Of those killed,
The decision, too, is final, and ends
the matter. The case arose on an
appeal from the Illinois Court Of
claims. A Ajudgment was given by
that court for the claimant for 800
bounty for enlistment under the
Presidents call for volunteers in
1861 he having been discharged
for disability upon a surgeons GER
tiiicate. The question was wheth-
er, under the act of Congress rati-
flying the act Of the executive, the
claimant could recover, the act pro
viding that two years service
should have been rendered to enti-
tie the soldiers to the bounty, un-
less discharged for wounds. Mr..
Justice Swayne delivered the opin.
ion of the Court, holding substan-
italy that the proclamation Of the
President and the general orders
of the War Department stipulating
to pay $l00 for each volunteer, fol-
lowed by the enlistment Of the
claimant, constituted a valid con
tract between the Government ana
the claimant, uron which he was
entitled to the bounty, affirming
the judgment of the Court below
We trust the widest publicity will
be given to the decision through
Union papers, posts of the Grand
Army, and by all friends of the
soldier. There are large numbers
Of invalid discharged soldiers who
will come under this decision, and
their claims have been so long de-
ferred that probably the greater
part Of them have long ago given
up all hope or expectation Of get
ting anything,

A New Gas Generation

DR. Albert f. Zcigler, of this
city, has taken out letters patent
for new portable Gas Generator,
which it is thought will revolution
ize the business Of making light
This Gas Generator, patented
March %, 1870, is simple in con.
struction, safe, symmetrical in
form, can be used as q table lamp,
III the form OF side burners, or in
the shape Of chandeliers. 1t gives
superior light, burns without
noise, and gives out no disagreea-
bic odor. The lamp has been tried
in every way within the last two
months by different citizens, and
the following conclusions reached:
"rho light is better than the or
dinary gas light, burns steadily and
brightly, and costs family at the
rate of five cents per week, or say
25 cents per month, and is there
fore the cheapest as well as the
best ofartilicial lights The lamps
or generators will be manufactured
largely and will be sold at most
reasonable rates - 0, s. journal,
