The rat of taxa ion in the Southern
States, under the invicora'ing and be-
nign influence of carpet-bag rule, will
not fail to attract attention. Delaware,
which has never been blessed with that
spirit of loyalty Of which Radicals are
made, shows the lowest rate of taxation
Of any State in the Union.

Grant Again ThsEsBie- Rigging
with Reforms.

GRANT has lately been spending his
time in the Improbable employment Of
piling up cumulative testimony on the
top of what was already conclusive tes
timony. In other words, he has been
adding superhuous evidence of the fact
that bis pretended zeal for civil service
reform is mere deinagogue dodge.
His first rules which were so much
cackled over by his partisaus, were to
have taken effect on the first Of last Jan.
uary, but before the tine arrived for
putting them into operation, he made an
additional rule which quietly knocked
the brains out of the whole litter.
Now he presents another set Of rules
very elaborately prepared so as not to
interfere with his partisan projects. In
the frst place he wholly excludes from
their operation large share of his ap-
pointees. and then provides thstif those
who pass the competitive examination
''are not suitable and qualified the va
cancy will be filed at discretion"
sIf not suitable!' Suitable to whom
Why to GRANT, of course. The restric-
ton does not amount to respectable non
sense. Whenever the examiners (whom
he himself appoints fail to present the
applicant who suits him, he will appoint
just whoever he pleases.
GRANT will probably learn before a
year expires .hat this is not the civil SER
vice reform that the people are demand
ing.

How About that New Orleans Tn.
veStigItlCRf

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune, telegraphing to that
journal, under date of April 10, con-
cerning the delay in printing the report
of the New Orleans Investigating Com
mittee, says
Some interesting rumors are floating
about the Capitol, and some Of them
are in such definite shape as to be al
most susceptible of positive proof
There is no doubt that some of Tie tes-
timony taken, and so far suppressed, is
very damaging to Collector Casey, the
Presidents brother in-law. Everybody,
friend OF enemy of the Administration,
who has seen or heard the contents Of
the testimony, admits this. Casey him.
self is reported to have called on the
chairman of the committee, and to have
asked his advice as to appearing and
answering the charges made against
him. The reply he is said to have re-
ceived was tEat, if be was innocent, he
could do nothing wiser; but, if there
was any truth in the charges, there
were sharp lawyers on the committee
who would be likely to handle him
roughly, and leave him in worse po-
stion than that in which he then stood.
Having received this advice, Casey did
not request The committee to examine
him. Another report. the truth of which
has not been questioned, is that, on the
return of the committee from New Or
leans, the Republican members of it
called on the President, and told him
that some of the testimony was very
damaging to Casey, and recommending
a speedy change in the Office of Collec
tor of the port of New Orleans Shortly
after the President was furnished with
a full copy of the testimony concerning g
Casey, so that it can no longer be said
that he is ignorant of what has taken
place, or by any excuse throw off the
responsibility of retaining Casey in Of
