ARREST OF A DEsrERADo.-A telegram hay
ing been received in this city from Peters
burg requesting the police authorities to
keep 4 lookout for David Ham alias David
Br,lmhill (colored) that individual was ar
rested on the corner of Seventeenth and
Main streets by Detective Kendall O'DWyer,
who had seen him pass and recognized him
rs the person who was wanted. Mr.. O'Dwyer
turned with his prisoner and went into the
Main-strcet entrance Of the First police sta
ton, at which point he was joined by Detec-
tive Knox. The officers Zone on each side OF
the prisoncD had gotten almost to the door
of the st;ition-house, inside of the Market
hall, when Ham made q swing backwards
and fell to the floor, with the two officers Oh
top. And then took place desperate strug-
gle, but the officers were too much for him,
and the fellow was soon safely locked up.
Ham escaped Jail in Petersburg a short
time ago, where he was confined for o
felony. About four years ago he was found
guilty Of feloniously entering the tobacco
factory of Mr.. James II. Grant, in this city,
and stealing S1,5e0 worth of tobacco, all OF
which was recovered. and Ham sent to the
penitentiary for three years. Detective
O'DWvcr will take him to Petersburg to-day.
MuT1NY IN THE CHANG ANG.--Ye Yesterday
morning about quarter-paSt 8 O'Clock thirty
three members of the chain-gang (Whlte
and colorcd), while ut work, under Mr.. W.
l.. Peasley, at the rock-pile, corner of Ninth
and Canal streets, mutinicd and attempted to
| escape. Mr.. Peasley, while standing at the
fire, was surrounded by the men, but hc
| backed out Of his position gracefully, and,
| drawing his pistol. not only kept them at
| buy but forced them to 20 10 work again.
But few minutes had passed, however.
when the men made second rush, and two
of the negroes succeeded in making their
| escape Captain Wilkinson was away at the
time, with four of the gang, cleaning the
| crossings on Franklin street, as was also Mr.
| Davis, with four, who was engaged on tho
same work on Clay and Marshall streets.
The result of this effort on the part Of the

proper officers will cause the ball and chair

Why We Advocate Protection.

We have sufficient faith in the
ers, and in their capacity to under
staud and appreciate what really
concerns heir own immediate inter
ests, to believe they will not need any
explanation Of our reasons tor the
prominence we give the q estioa OF
Protection to American industry.
But still it may not be out of place
to say, that it is because the welfare
of the workingman Of this nation Is
so absolutely dependent upon and
interviewer with our manufacturing
industry. That great interest, giving
direct employment to two millions
Of operatives and direct support to
ten millions five hundred thousand
people, was breathea into life, and is
fed and sustained, by Protection.
That policy has been, and must con
tinue to be, the very breath of life
OF our laboring classes. In adsocat-
ing 1t we are influenced tar more by
our regard for the laborer than
the manufacturer. The capitalist
can live without manufacture; the
workingman can't live without labor.
Our doctrine is, direct Protection
to labor, with. incidental Protec-
ton to manufactures that is, we
are for Protection first, because it is
necessity to the labormg man, and
next, because it builds up system
of industry that creates demand
for labor, insures it a legitimate re-
ward, and helps to elevate it to the
high and digniied position it de-
serves as the creator OF all wealth
and the basis of all enterprise. Dem.
agogues only assert that Protection
is invented tor the sole benefit OF
the rich and TO keep down the poor.
! Labor would have been reduced to
the ten cent standard once advocated
by Mr.. Buchanan, which was then
its average reward "lhroaghoat the
world" but for that Protective poll
cy which has SO diversified, and ele-
waited, and dignified it in this country;
and our workingmen would have
been on the same low level as those
of Spain, Austria, and Ireland
These are our reasons tor devoting
SO much time to illustrate the benfits
of Protection to the American work
ingmen,-[MsW Natipaas Era.

Board for the President and Cabi
net, in these cases, ls merely "chas
ing the devil around the stump"
/ And what is the necessity that the
President and Cabinet, or anybody
at Washington, should bs occupied
with these appointments? The du.
ties are no better performed than
they would be by officers elected by
the people-probably not as well.--
We elect our Assessors and Collec.
tors of State and city taxes, and we
meet with as few dctalcations and as
faithful service among them as among
Federal Collectors. Ii these Offices
were appointed by our State Gov
ernors, what an inexhaustible corrup-
ton fund they would make I! Every
Governor would use them as patron
age to make himself United States
Senator, and we should have as much
nepotlsm and dcspotism in our State
Governments as we now have N our
Federal. These appointments occu-
py two-thirds of the time and ability
OF the President and his Cabinet, de-
priving the country to that extent of
the resources they might otherwise
be able to exhibit in the direction oil
craftsmanship and Executive talent.
They belittle the chief officers Of the
Government by involving them in
petty squabbles and questions Of pat
ronage, which lessen their self-res
pect and the confidence of the people
in them. They tempt the President
to use a power vested in him for Ma
tlonal objects to promote his own
private ends, and especially to re-
ward his servitors and relatives, and
secure his re election.
We believe, therefore, that the
substitution of the elective for the
appointing system, relative to these
appointments of a local character,
would be most effective measure OF
Civil Service Reform. 1t void less
en- the rancor of partisanship, much
of which arises from the superser-
viceable zeal of men who hurrah for
the party because they make their
living out OF it. It would promote
independence, honesty, and real yig-
orous craftsmanship in our Presi-
dents, members of Congress, and
heads Of Departments, because they
would then have the time to be
statesmen, and it would only be
needed that they have the ability
1t would satisfy the people hearti.
ly, as any complaint against their ef-
ficiency could then be answered by
the query, Why did you elect
Them 1t would devolvo the re-
sponsibility upon the people of eve.
ry district, instead of dividing it. as
now, between the President, his
Cabinet, one or more members of
Congress, and the people. Some
careful legislation by Congress would
be necessary, under the amendment,
to provide particularly what districts
should elect these various officers
We think. however, the proposition
as it comes to be discussed, will b.
found TO meet with the hearty ap
probation OF the whole people, ant
of all true statesmen.-[ Chicago Tri5
