Bg~ The New York Nation says: awe are
sorry to have to record another appointment
by the President which is not exactly 10 the
direction Of Civil-service Reform. We believe
it is now the fashion to accuse everybody who
makes a remark of this kind of being Spar
tisan.' Well, we are partisans, but we hope
partisans of good government and official hon.
esty, and we therefore confess, without shame,
that we think the appointment of a Lowell
carpet-bagger named Parker, brother-in-law
of Mr.. Benjamin F. Butler, who is also the
uncle of George Fl. Butler, the well-known
Consul General in Egypt, to the Surveyorship
of the port of New Orleans in the place of
General Longstreet, great scandal and a sad
commentary on the value of the new rules.
General Lopgstreet, who is an honest man
whom bis worst enemies respect, has resigned
through disgust at the performance Of Casey
the Collector, aud his faction, and now the
President puts in his place low adveoturer,
in order to oblige B. F. Butler, and he does
MS while retaining his own brother-in-law as
Colector-he who, besides many other ex-
pots, lately employed the Federal revenue
cutter for twelve days in carrying batch of
State Senators up and down the river to pro-
tect them from arrest by the Sergeant alarms
Now, why is this done? What excuse is there
for it, in view of the reform in the Civil-ser-
vice, which, we are told is going on 2"

seasonable things that an extra sheet is requir-

offered to immigrants by Southern Lands, the

timely matter, the usual Original Correspond

RsS= Mr.. Stewart of Baltimore (son of the
Chief Justice of this Jadicial Crcuit) in show
ing up the absurdty Of the present Sunday
law, thought it was piece ofdaring presump-
ton in man to attempt to enforce Gods COM
mandments by human legislation; hence. be
believes the law enforcing the observance OF
the Sabbath to be piece Of human vanity and
fooishness. This is very good for Mr.. Stewart,
and by his speech on the subject, he proves
himself very Solon. If we had plenty of
such in our Legislative halls we should soon
have all human laws repealed, as the most Of
them are founded on Gods commandments
and are enacted to enfssce them. The Deca-
logue suffers even when fortified with the
strongest supports that human learning, in
genuity and experience can devise, and how
it would fare stripped OF these is hard to con-
jecture.-The Bachelor.

George w. Sands, Esq


The Baltimore american of Saturday last,
speaking Of the withdrawal of tie name OF
George W. Sands from the Senate to fill the
place Of the defaulting Stanton, as Collector OF
Internal Revenue for this District, attributes
1t to the fact that the accounts of Mr.. Sands,
IS former Collector, are still unsettled, and as
the law expressly prohibits the appointment
OF any one whose accounts are not closed, the
President had go other recourse than to recall
the name. This aspect of affairs was not an
ticipated by Mr.. Sands, he being under .'the
impression" bis accounts "were closed, he
having deposited the money for every claim
made by the Government and holding q full
receipt" The only thing yet unsettled :" is
the payment of his last years salary, bis
claim for which" it would seem entirely SUI
psrfaous to add} ."he has been anxiously
Visiting TO have disposed Of"
This may or may not be true SO far as bis
connection with the Government is capcern-
ed; but we know that at this Office Mr.. Sands
stands booked for advertising done for him as
Collector Of Internal Revenue, for which we
have never received cent. It is true be
disclaimed the larger part of the bill upon
the ground that his Deputy was not author
ICED to have such work done; but it is equally
true that the portion which he acknowledged
aud promised to pay, is at this time unpaid.
Making inquiries in reference to the matter,
We found we were left 10 the lurch and with
all due humility and resignation we submit
ted to our fate. Thus the matter stands.

What Dyspepsia may End I'm.

Indigestion is not dangerous, say the facul-
ty. Perhaps not in itself, while it remains
mere indigestion; but look at the consequences
to which it may lead, and often does lead when
it becomes chronic disease. A spark of fire
is small thing. A pressure of the foot will
put it out; breath will extnguish it. Yet it
may fire powder mill, or kindle fame that
will consume city. In like manner indiges-
ton may produce gastritis, cancer of the stom-
ach, congestion of the bowels, apoplexy, liver
disease, and many other dangerous maladies.
Is 1t not wise, then, to check it in the germ ?
Nothing is more clearly and indisputably es-
tablished than that Hostetter' Stomach Bitters
will eradicate dyspepsia in all its stages. The
true policy, however, is to extinguish it in the
first stages with this wholesome, powerful and
infallible tonic and alternative. 1t is easier to
quench spark than fame, and it is easier to
cure dyspepsia when it is first developed, than
when it has made Roadway by neglect, and be-
come complicated with other ailments. There
is not the shadow of doubt that the bitters
are as directly antagonistc to dyspepsia as wa
ter is to fire. There are thousands of cases on
record proving this fact. The remedy is safe
and agreeable. All the liquors of commerce
prescribed as stimalants leave sting behind.
But the sting is taken out of the spirituous
of this great remedy by vegetable medication,
and moreover, the stimulant thus medicated is
OF exceptional purity Of all tonics taken as
safeguards or remedies for fever and ague, bill
Gus remittents, and other epidemics, it is the
only one that can uniformly be depended on.
