GOVERNMENT PICK K-PoCKETING.-Presi-
dent Grant. we are told, is an earnest
advocate OF civil service reform. His
admirer and apologist, George William
Curtis, affects to believe that civil SER
vice reform can only be accomplished by
Grant. An encouraging sample of it we
have in the Senate wing of the Capitol
at Washington to-day. The whole of
that great part of the building, except
the Senate Chamber. is occupied by Go.
yernment clerks engaged in packing.
directing and sending to the mail Grant
campaign documents. A hundred Co.
vernment employees are thus serving the
personal interests Of Presidential can
dldate, and are being paid their regular
salaries out of the Government Treasury
to which the friends of Mr.. Greeley are
forced by law to contribute. In other
words, by means of the machinery
which the possession of the Government
gives them control of, the Radical de-
partment officials are working for Grant
at the expense of the friends of Greeley.
This Is civil service reform with VEN
geanoe. It is rather more like down.
right swindling. It is like picking the
pocket of your neighbor to pay your own
expenses. We trust that if this outrage
on the people continues, the Greeley
and Brown Committee ut Washington
will make demand for possession of
the other wing of the Capitol, and q
hundred Government clerks Ito be paid
out Of the Treasury to direct and send
off sound Liberal literature.

WAS HI THE CONTNFUNE9

Shortly after the great fire at Chicago,
the Times of that city published a sensa-
ton connecting the "Societe Information
al" with that terrible conhagration. 1t
purported to bea statement from member
of that society, and wound up with The
following: -
"P. S.-Let me add one word Of warn-
b ing. Other cities, both in this country and
Europe, have been threatened with fire.
The Societe Internationais is implacable."
Now the New York Herald, prints tg o
com munications, signed sChemist," in
which the writer, who says he is one of the
Paris Communists, makes the statement
that the Boston fire was the work Of labor
1a refoFmers; that the explosions heard during
the IRE, which were attributed to other
things, were but explosions of powerful
chemical combination lately invented, and
known only to him and his .eOntreres, no
larger than an ordinary apple, and costing
only rinety-two cents each. He says their
work at Boston was bat the commence
ment, ard intiniates that capitalists shall
still further suffer if the rights Of labor are
not resDected

The Choral society concert.

The Nashville Choral Society viii give
their first grand concert at McClure's Music
Hall tomorrow (Monday) night. From
the past record of the "Chorals" we can
safely promise the music loving citizens Of
our city treat that will amply repay them
for the outlay. This society is a home in
stitution, and numbers in its membership
many of the very best amateur musicians
of our city, and are under the skiIlfuI man
agement OF Prof. Henri Weber The Cho-
rails propose giving series of concerts dur
ing the present season, and we hope lib
eral support will be given them on this as
well as on subsequent occasions, as a just
appreciation of their desire to furnish our
citizens with music of the very highest or
der.
From the programme We see that the fol-
lowing well known and popular amateurs
viii favor the occasion with solos, duos,
trios, ETC., viz: Mrs. Hart, Mrs. Ida Rains,
Misses Hasloek and Weber, Mrs. VESSEL;
Messrs. Anderson, Stewart, Ashford and
jackson. The :choruses win be given by
q large number, and form no little part OF
the concert. A full house viii doubtless
greet the society. The concert viii begin
at 7:30 O'Clock Admission so cents.

out of employment received and inyestiga-

relief for women thrown out of employment
received and, investigated four thousand
three hundred applications. They have
seye-ally given aid TO all applicants who
deserved and needed it. They must con-
tinue TO do so for soma weeks. The COM
mittee on aid will require an additional
sum for the proper completion of their
work. A careful estimate Of our future
needs leads to the conviction that not less
than $4,000 will be required to give the
relief which ought still to be given. hide
pendently of the special fund for the fire.
men, the sum at the disposal of the Gen
eral committee is about $4,000 which will
be exhausted in 10 or Il twelve days. We
therefore feel it our duty to make known the
importance and necessity of raising $780,

seribed. We contemplate with reluctance
which viii be generally shared the only al
Tentative we have, that of making an ap-
