The United State. Revenue Marine.

We publish to-day the revised regulations
for the government of the United States Reve-
nue. Marine. This new system abolishes abso-
lutely the one grand feature that formerly
marked this arm Of the service-that it was
an organization to provide sinecure positions
for political friends. Among many mistakes
Secretary Boutwell,, when he retires, may at
least cite this measure as wise and much
needed effort Of executive purity. Entrance
to the service is now only to be secured by
the passage of vigorous examination as to
the 6tness-physcal, moral and Intellectual
the new regulations, too, we see firm pur-
pose to eliminate what is known as political
influence" from the service Officers are
vigorously charged to at once obey orders,
and are specially directed not to shilly-
shally along in the execution of their duty
until revocation of the original instruc-
ton is procured. This, by the way, casts
rather melancholy species of reflected
light upon the practice in the past.
Another section provides that whenever a
merchant vessel is assisted in distress by a
government revenue cutter the owners shall
be required to indemnify the United States for
the value of the service This is but fair, and
we have often mentally remarked upon the
GOODNESS with which shipowners and other
classes of the public demand the aid of United
States troops or United States steamers, or
anything else that belongs to Uncle Sam, as
occasion requires. 1t is well to remind such
persons that an individual taxpayer is not the
entire government. Presents to officers,
whether swords or plate, and all votes Of
praise or censure upon commanding officers,
are also unequivocally forbidden.
''New brooms sweep clean;" but we think
the revenue marine, now thoroughly reformed,
will never be likely to again easily fall into
the shameful state of maladministration that
hitherto has SO conspicuously distinguished it.
Another department of the public employ is
purged of the evil of political influence,
and we almost begin to believe that in another
hundred years or 80 we shall have outlived
that barbarous motto ''to the victors belong
the spoils," and shall have an effective, re-
spectacle and responsible civil service.

THE CHOLERA IN LONDON. "A case of
Asiatic cholera has made its appearance in
London. The news comes to us by Atlantic
cable Only few days ago the English au-
thorities were congratulatng themselves on
their security, and, with praiseworthy energy,
were adopting all necessary precautions to
meet the deadly enemy should it appear. If
the cable speaks truly the foe, weak, it is true,
is among them. No one knows what day
may bring forth, and 1t behooves us at this
side of the Atlantic to lack no energy in pre-
pairing for the cholera, which is now on its
route through Europe.

practically confession on the part of the gov
eminent that it had gone too far in the matter,
but that it would never do so again.

TAX ON MISUNDERSTANDING Boutwell,
has decided that the decision Of the late Com
missioner Pleasonton exempting taxes due
from corporations on interest coupons payable
within the last FIVE months OF 1870 does not
affect the tax on dividends on stock or andi-
vided profits Of corporations accrued and
added to any surplus, contingent or other hnd

THE INDIAN QUESTION OTT WEST has been
reduced by General Hancock to this simple
alternative If we hold the Indians to, their
reservations and can't allow them to- roam
over the plains after the buffalo we rAust feed
them and we reckon that feeding our red
brethren on domestic beef, with flaily ration
of five pounds to each Indian, az the Indian
beef contractors average of City cents a
pound, will be cheaper than Allowing the red
men to roam the prairies in p drsut of the buff
falo and of emigrant trairs and droves of
domestic cattle. Let us, then. feed the red
man and keep him quiet.

PRINCE BISMARCK AND THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH IN GERMANY.-On Sunday last we
printed a most important piece of news, to the
effect that the North German government,
which, after all, means the government of
united Germany, has abandoned the double
religious bureau system. 1t was found con-
venient to have two religious bureaus-one for
the Protestant and another for the Catholic
Church. The Chancellor of the North German
Bund has abolished the double system; and
henceforth North Germany is to have only one
religious bureau. Infalibility and the Syllabus
have, according to Bismarck, virtually created
an Emporium * imperio, and as Bismarck
will have no overshadowing or rival power in
Germany he has so arranged matters that the
State must be first and the Church second. Count
Won Arnim, as we see by later news, has in
formed Cardinal Antonelli Of the determination
of his master. We do not say whether Bis
marck is wrong or right. All that we do say
is, that the most powerful government in
Europe to-day has set its foot on the preten-
sions of Rome, and in a manner not to be
mistaken has declared itself opposed to the
DEGREES of the late Council of the Vatican.
This is new feature of the great religious
fight; and we are willing to await results.

There seems to be no doubt that the building

The Sect Centenary in New York.

| The Scott Centenary in New York.
| Only two years ago, on the same day OF the
same month when the centenary Of the birth
Of Sir Walter Scott was celebrated, was the
huudredth anniversary of the birth Of the
greatest conqueror the world has ever seen.
But the life of the Great Napoleon left behind
| it no remembrances to stir the hearts of man.
kind like the simpler achievements Of the
Scottish bard and novelist. In London man
so renowned as Lord Lytton honored himself
in honoring the memory Of Scott while in
New York our most distinguished men of
letters were foremost in celebrating the many
triumphs of the Wizard of the North. The
universally of genius finds itself no more
clearly marked anywhere than in this metro
politan city The stranger here would have
been less surprised yesterday if he had been
told that this city was New Caledonia than at
being informed that he was in New York.
Tartan and plaid, the pibroch and the thistle,
were lifted above all other devices, and for
the day held undisputsd reign. In the Gen.
trail Park the corner stone of the Scott monu-
ment was laid, with fitting ceremonies, and
the festivities of the day closed with grand
banquet at Delmonico's, in which many of our
best known literary men participated. The
occasion rebounds greatly to the credit of
American culture and reflects something of
the glory Of the Bard of Abbotsford upon his
many transatlantic admirers. But in some
things the hand of death made the banquet
painful and feeble exhibition. Irving and
Cooper and Hawthorne-lndeed, all of our
masters of the art in which Scott was so truly
great, did not live to assist in proclaiming his
glories. We had no Lord Lytton to give eclat
to the occasion and were compelled to be con-
tent with such literary distinction as could be
hastily gathered together. We gave of the
best we had and in doing the best that was
possible under all the circumstances we
showed to the world that we were ever ready
to recognize genius and award all honor to
distinguished merit. Our monument is tes-
timonial to the sincere regard of the American
people for the Scottish bard, and will long
stand in witness of the pleasure his writings
have afforded to new people, in land far
distant from the scenes which his pen de-
picted.

A Dog.Fieht i'm Congress.

Tho two dogs are Grant and Sumner-two regu-
lar bull pups-and both "psen." Sumner is IN
inflated aud hish-handed man, and, although a
Republican like Grant, has Sc. himself up against
the latter, and against his Administration, and
against his Cabinet, AID against his pet scheme
of purchasing San Domingo, and, trusting to his
mighty New England influence, has deported
himself haughtily and oGensively. And for oil
this, Grant hates him, and has had him displaced
from the highest and most important post in the
Scnate of the United Statos-the Craftsmanship
Of the Committee on Foreign Relations. In the
Senate, Committees elected instead Of being
appointed, and when the organization Of the new
Congress came on, Grant had his men ready and
they boldly ousted Mr.. Sumner, and, now like
Nebuchaduezzar of old, who also became too
high and mighty, he has gone out to grass.
The fight in tho Senate was hard and terrible
one and the occasion to the Republican party, is
one of unutterable fear and trembling. Tho feel
ing among leading Republicans seems to be that
the quarrel between tho President and Sumner,
though resulting in victory for tho adminisira-
ton, has been won at the cost of the party. New
England is already furious, and the elections in
New Hampshire and Connecticut will be influenced
in favor of the Democrats. So far, so good We
earnestly hope the two factions Of the Radical
party which will result from this split, will eat
each other entirely up, leaving not the pairing of

Difficulties in Chester.

For some days exciting rumors of serious
difficulties between the white and colored
people of Chester have been prevalent in
our town, and the people became very anx,
ious about it. That an armed force OF
colored people had taken up their quarters
at the Mt. Carmel. Church, on the main road,
about eight miles this side of Chester Court
House, was well authenticated, and that Mr..
Garland Smith had been bushwhacked and
had his horse killed under him, was also re-
ported and believed. On Tuesday, a courier
came from Chester, calling on the people OF
Union to 90 to the assistance of the people
of Chester Court House, TO defend that place
from threatened attack from the negroes
To this cali a number of our young men
promptly responded, and started from here
late Tuesday eveaing. Early on Wednesday
morning, when about a mile from the church,
hearing that the negroes bad burnt that
building, and, it was supposed, lett tor
Chester, five of our men were sent forward
to fiad out the true condition of affairs.
While riding along the road near the church,
five volleys of musketry were suddenly fired
upon them in rapid succession, from behind
trees and boulders of rock. The white men
retreated, and the negroes made charge
upon them. The main body of the white
men then came up and returned the fire Of
the negroes, when they broke and ran. Seven
negroes were killed and one taken to the
Chester Jail. It-was a miracle that not one
of the white men was killed. The first fire
of the negroes was deliberately taken, not
more than forty yards from the five white
men, but not ball touched one of them
Mr.. J. w. Waters was. so severely wounded
above the knee that amputation was found
necessary. No other injury to the white mer
was done, but they had one horse killed ant
two badly wounded. The above can be re
lied upon as the truth, for we have it fron
responsible parties who know all about it
The white men from Union had no intention
or desire to attack the colored people, bu
were on their way, as they believed, to protec
the lives and property of the citizens @
Chester. Again have the militia guns brough
the negroes into trouble, for without them
they would not have arrayed themselves i
hostility to the white people, and fred upo

Second Week of Court.

The Court is still in session, Judge MELTON and
the lawyers working hard upon the civil docket,
and making more impression upon it perhaps
than at any Term since the war. Last week was
pretty much devoted to criminal business. The
only case of note, however, was tho State against
THOMAS LAN1ER for the killing Of Jim Holmes,
colored, which occurred some two or three years
ago. The jury after few minutes absence, ac-
quilted Mr.. LANIER in toto.
The indictment in the case of the State against
W1NsLow HAMILTON, for the killing of Capt.
GEORGE BUTLER, was not given to the Grand
Jury.
AS regards the trial of the negroes charged
with the murder of the Rev. Mr.. HARRISON, moth
ing could be done. The magistrate had not re-
turned the Inquest papers, the witnesses we're not
in attendance, and the authorities generally who
should have attended to the preliminaries of the
case seemed to be at fault. All this is culpably
wrong. The murder of Mr.. HARRISON was most
fragrant, and its punishment called for energy and
promptness on all sides.
