SUITS AGAINST THE RoBBERs.-Tn the COM
plant made out and filed at Albany by the At
torney General it was charged-that O'Gorman,
the corporation counsel, had brought six ac-
tfons IN tue name of the city against Tweed,
Connolly and others in bad faith and for the
reafpurpose OF shielding them from prosecu-
ton. In answer to this charge O'Gorman has
addressed letter to the Attorney General, in
which he takes exceptions to the allegation in
the compliant on behalf of the State against
Tweed. He says the suits were begun in good
faith and will be prosecuted with energy. He
enclosed the opinion OF George Ticknor Curtis
that it is doubtful whether the action brought
by the State will lie, and that it is his duty as
corporation counsel to bring suit ON behalf of
the city.
The Tribune says O'Gorman will call to his
aid some of the best legal talent in the city for
prosecuting his suits against the municipal
robbers. He has no thoughts. of interfering
with the suits brought by O'Cenor. The
phases are as follows:-The suits brought by
the Attorney General are for the recovery Of
money frauduently taken from the city from
persons who received it. while the corporation
counsel sues those through whose neglect of
duty or breach of trust it was SO paid ont. The
two classes may in some instances include
identical persons, but the causes of action are
distinct These actions need not clash with
eash other, and will be pressed to successful
issue. r-7stf u. III

JONES, who is now living in Paris, was very
much surprised the other morning, while look
ing over some photographs fthe she-commun-
lists of that versatile city, to find among them
the face of his mother-in-law An official visit
to the photographer brought out the fact that
the man of acids had assiduously culled out
from the negatives of his patrons those remark
able for ugliness; that prints had been made
from these representing certain prisoners at
Versailles and convicts at Brest; and that
among these Jones' respected relatives face
had attained great eminence for innate viii
lainy. Jones was angry at first, but now thinks
that bis mother-in law suffered for the sins of
the class, by which he does not mean to imply
that there is to be no punishment after death.

THE Mont GEMS TUNNEL.-A graphic de-
scription is given of the meeting of the
workmen in the Mont Cenis tunnel, five thou
sand feet beneath the summit Of the mountain.
AT the beginning of December the explosions
began to be heard in both branches of the tun-
mel, becoming every day more and more dis
tinct. AT tho beginning of December the
French excavators heard distinctly the blows
of the perferators against the works on the
Italian side. Then the sound of voices was
vaguely heard. But were they going to meet
at the same point and in the same axis? was
the ali-absorbing question. For three days
and three nights engineers, firemen and heads
of gangs on the French side never left the tun-
mel. They could not eat or sleep; every one
was in state of fever. At length, on the
morning of the 26th of December the rock fell
in near the roof. The breach was made and
the two parties could see and shake hands
with each other. The same evening the pas
sage was clear-the last obstacle removed-the
mountain pierced-the great work done! Great
rejoicing followed. The two axes met almost
exactly; there was barely half yard error
The level on the French side was only about
three quarters of yard too high. "a variation
of less than yard in thirteen thousand) At
ter thirteen years Of continual work, who
could even hope for so perfect result? A
marble tablet, suitably inscribed, was placed at
the point of junction to commemorate the
event.

The McGarraghan claim is soon to appear
again at the Interior Department in an appli-
cation by the New Idria Mining Company for
patent covering the Panoche Grand Rancho.
In the new claim they will seek to remedy the
defects for which Secretary Delano dismissed
their case last summer, among which were the
absence Of evidence that the members of the
company were citizens Of the United States,
and the attempt to obtain title to much
larger tract of mineral land than the law al
lows any one party to hold. 1t will also be
brought before Congress again.

CHARLES O'CoNoR of New York City
has sent long letter to the Com
mittee declining the nomination for the AS.
sembly, in which he reviews the repeating sys.
tenn at elections as well as terrorism exercised
over poor men at the polls by political hire
lings. He considers that he can best serve
the public Interests in his present position.
His whole time and utmost powers will be
needed in the proceedings against the robbers
who are not content with their already realiz-
ed gains are now laundering at the gates O
the Treasury and are determined to continnt
their iniquitous career through fraudnleu
canvass and corrupt legislation. His position
therefore demands exemption even from the
color of personal interest and his services will
always be al the command Of an honest legisla
ture.

THE people of New York will have abun-
dant cause to fully celebrate two thanksgiv.
ings, one OF which Gov. Hoffman has appoint
ed for Nov 23d and the other the same that
the rest Of us hope to enjoy, if in the coming
election they shall be able to defeat the small
minority of repeaters and ruffians that have
Tor the past four years, carried the State by
ballot-box stuffing and intimidation in the city
Of New York. If Gov. Hoffman and Senator
Tweed are victorious, they will have cause to
be thankful; but in that event the people W i'll
probably consider that they may be numbered
among those referred to by the President as
suffering scalamities."

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND INEBRIATEs.-
Bishop Bacon, of New Jersey, who is an Amer
lean by birth, and was educated a Protestant.
in recent address to the clergy of his diocese
said:
TIE dreadful sin of intemperance, destruc-
tive alike to body aud soul. as we all know. is
making the most fearful ravages among our
people. 1t may be said to be the chief cause
of all the sins they commit, and OF all the So
cial evils and dscomforts under which thew
labor L am determined to make use of the
most severe measures against all who are alb
dieted to this scandalous and destructive vice
and if they continue in the practice of it they
must do it as outcasts from the Catholic
Church, who have no right to the name OF
Catholic while they live, nor Christian burial
when they die.
Brigham Young is reported to be going
south, travelling by night, and will not stop
until he reaches the extremity of Arizona.

The Tribune philosopher and the editor OF
the Commercial Advertiser are not very
warm friends, judging from the character of
their mutual comments upon each other in
those able papers. The Advertiser has re-
peatedly denounced the Tribune as Tam
many Republican paper with considerable
bitterness. But when Mr.. Tweed is arrested
and Hugh Hastings, the editor of the Ad-
vertiser, signs his bail bond, the Tribune
turns upon the Advertiser WITH all rts CHAR
acteristic sharpness for the act, forgetting the
kind hearted old gentleman who fastened 10
Richmond to sign a similar instrument for
greater Democratic reprobate, if possible, than
Boss Tweed.

THR noduS opera1ads of getting diploma
from the Eclectic Medical College, in Phila-
delphia is very simple one. James Brown o:
Williamsburg, N. Y, supposes that he stud
led medicine in England for t1o years and
practced in this country for one year, and
thinks he is entitled TO diploma of some sort.
So he writes to the college about fees, and re-
ceiyes a letter requesting him to call on DR..
Bowlsby. He writes to DR.. Bowlsby, explain
ing that professional duties debar the pleasure
of personal interview, but would the doctor
be kind enough to state the amount of tho
fees. An answer is received nominating $1OO
and an examination; Mr. Brown went to the
doctors herb chop and in nine minutes came

lib And Mr. Brown was not even medical
student, he was only reporter for the New

THE Government printing Office at Washing
ton will soon issue, executed in the highest
style of the art, and accompanied by maps and
illustrations, General j. G. Barnard's "De-
fense of Washington during the early years of
the rebellion" which will contain large
amount of valuable and interesting informa-
tion hitherto secret and confidential, and
which the government at that time guarded
with the greatest precaution from the Confed-
crates. An equally elaborate volume on the
mining Industry # the United States," by
james Hague, part of the series on the sur
vey of the fortieth parallel, will also soon be
published. Fifty thousand copies of the Agri-
cultural departments report for 1870 are now
binding, and will: be ready for delivery this
week, and the public printers say that if the
manuscript bad been promptly furnished the
report would have Seen pablished early last
summer. The first thousand of the blank
books for the new transcripts of the muster-in

The CIVIL SERVICE. E.-The civil service COM
mission hope to be able to lay before the Presi-
ident during the present week an outline OF
the rules and regulations by which they pro
pose to reform the civil service of the govern
meut. The four leading principles of their
scheme may be briefly stated to be, first, ad-
mission to the civil service at the lowest point,
with competitive examination at every grade
second, probation; third, promotion; fourth, nc
fixed tenure, the power of removal being left
practically undisturbed, and the advantages o.
hexibiity and direct responsibility which are
claimed for the present system retained. Very
much still remains for the commission to do in
the perfection of details and organization Of
the new modes of appointment and service
which they hope to introduce, but they have
substantially agreed on the above fundamental
dootriues which, firmly established, will 60 lar
to mark out the work o. the future. 1t is not
intended to include all the offices of govern
ment without discrimination in this revised
system, but the great mass of the patronage
and Offices which now forms so prolific source
of evil and corruption VIII be entirely within
the field of its operation.

The Chicago Post says the Chicago fire has
at least achieved this much of good: it has
kepta great many other things out of the
newspapers. The paragraphists have had no
leisure, nor has the public shown desire for
anything else. Mr.. Greeley, the potato bug,
and Washington's body servant, have had a
season OF respite and nepenthe. During the
past fortnight the mammoth pumpkin has at
tanned weight of s pounds UNDECIDED; the
failed to devour his keeper; Dr.. Livinastone
even, has not been massacred by the natives.
There is cause for congratulations in all this.
but the gentle reader, flushed with victory
need not soar to new successes and seek to
compass the evaporation OF the itemizsrs by
Louis or Milwaukee would be too high price
even to secure immunity from the relentless
and remorseless interyiewers.

In the latter were included 100, ,221 cavalry and
