for the timely and efficient aid he offered
in cooperation with the regular police
force Of our city, Recoznlging In, his ef'
forts no spirit Of usurpaton Of law or

A Bold Speech by Sir Chas. Dixie.
New YoRK, Nov, 9O-The latest Eng
lish papers have a speech delivered by
Sir Chas, Dixie, on November 9th, beiorl
a large crowd of the working classes, a
New Castle, on the Tyne. The speaker
dwelt at length on the subject of repre-
sentation, and ot the inequality OF The
voting power in the House Of Commons
from large cities and towns, as compared
with the representation Of small boroughs,
With regard to the cost OF royalty, he
said: .r.'..-.
ave have first to deal with the sum o.
gS72, 900 year, expended upon the priVy
purse, and upon the household, to which
| add the royal bounty and royal aims
which amounts to G180O0, making up the
sum to G3S5,OOO.
He continued enumerating the various
expenditures Of royalty, showing that II
cost at least million pounds year,
probably much more, The responsibility
Of these expressions upon the people, be
considered, rested with the Queen. He
said, in conclusion:
u doubt whether ifthe charges 10 which
| have alluded are all well founded, the
Monarchy would not better set It's house
IN order. There Is q wide spread belief
that the republic here Is only matter Of
education and time. II is said that some
day commonwealth will be our govern
ment. II you can show me q fair chance
that republic will be free from the politi-
col corruption that hangs about o mon.

the middle classes in general will say, let

plauded.

A MeritOriOus Act TardiIy Done.

Driven by the force Of an indignant
public opinion the PRE sDENT has been
compelled to remove. Collector MURPHY
Of New York, the shoddy government
contractor and partner Of TWEED s. Go.
To save mutual humiliation as far as pos
sible, MURPHY tenders a resignation
which is promptly accepted. This is only
TO save appearances, 1t Is a'removal
none the less, and one which Hhe .PREsT-
DENT confesses he was very reluctant to
make, .,|. ... ...
In his warm avoWals Of confidence in
MURPHY, His ExCellepcy does himself no
credit, for two things are so clearly proven
on MURPHY, viz: his swipdliDg Of the
govepment in army contracts, and his In
innate partnership with Tammany leaders
when pretending to be a Republican, that
the PRESIDENTS warm avowals Of conf
dence and sympathy will not meet any
corresponding feeling in the country, The
PRESIDENT thereby does MURPHY no
good while he Injuries himself Moreover,
the country will not accept unreservedly
the statements about MURPHY's manage.
ment Of the custom house, for II is chArg.
ed in New York, not by Democrats alone
but by Republicans, that there has never
been more corruption about the custom
house than under MURPHY's rule. And
1t Is more than limited that hangers on
about the Executive Mansion have found
MURPIY's administration highly advan.
tageouS to them.
1t was high time for the purity, Of the
public service, as wsn as for the credit of
the administration, that this the ,hpt
office under the government was put into
cleaner hands, and It ought to have been
done without apologizing for 1t.
If the PRESIDENT had such unbounded
confidence In MURPHY as he says, he
ought not to have removed him atall but
the fact that he lets him 20 while pro.
tossing to esteem him so highly, only
shows how really hollow those professions
arc; and in thus humiliadng himself in
order TO lot MURPHY down easy, the
PRESIDENT appears to admit the force Of
some obligation which a man in his sta.
tion ought not to owe to such a man as
