Fred Douglass paper makes another at
tack on civil service reform. He says; The
system is wrong in practice and false in
theory, and had its origin not only with the
personal as we'll as political enemies of the
President and the Republican party, but
with really corrupt and unprinCipled men.
In urging pretended reform upon the
country, they we're actuated solely by mali
cious motives, and their hatred OF the Presl
dent and the treacherous desire to iDiure
the Republican party" He wishes the
whole matter placed in the hands q Con
gressmen again, and says: In che first
place, we have always believed that nom
beers Of Congress were the best Judges OF
those whom they recommend to office, and
that they had the strongest possible motives
for procuring appointments only for cOmpe-
tent and honest men; but we have advo-
Gated the adoption of plan for testing
their fitness which all shrewd business men
employ and which some of the heads o.
the bureaus at least acted upon before the
clElI service rules were put in force: and
this plan Is, an actual test of the fitness hv

Flaw in the Merchant shipping Ac,.

!
THIS is Washington special e the New
York HercA:
Many complaints and appeals are adj
dressed to the Treasury Department against
the action OF the various shipping commits
sioners under the late act of Congress regu-
lating the shipping and discharge of sea
men III tie merchant marine, or against the
practical construction given to the act by the
commissioners; but as no jurisdiction il con
ferred upon the Secretary by the law in
question, no redress can he afforded. The
act vests the appointment OF the shipping
commissioners in the circuit courts OF the
United States, and where none such are ap-
pointed, the duties OF shipping commissioner
are dcvolved upon the,collectors of customs.
AS such wrongs and errors as arise under
misappiication of the provisions of the ship
ping act are not usually redressable by the
slow and costly process of the courts, the
failure Of supervisory authority in the
Treasury Department over the subject pre-
vents the enforcement of uniformity and
leaves each shipping commissioner virtually
supreme in his own district, as all other
shipping interests are placed in charge Of
the Treasury Department. The attention
of Congress will be called to the probably
unintentional omission in this instance.

A TOTGH DoG.--The Cleveland
Pldjndealer tells the following ::
On Wednesday a large dog at the
Industrial School bit one of the
children. Application was made
at the police station to have the
animal shot, and an officer was de-
tailed to do the work. He shot
the dog twice and left it for dead.
This morning the canine was
hunting around for rations and
another policeman was sent over,
who shot the canine seven times
and then beat it with a club till
he thought he had killed it. A
short time after the Superinten.
dent of the school appeared at
police headquarters and mildly
suggested that it might be we'll to
send an officer TO drown the brute,
as it was still alive and demonstra-
tive. A third policeman was sent
over and put two more bullets in
the beast. Perhaps some one had
better take the contract to shoot
the dog all summer. - y S

Dan Rice's Wife Making
it Hot for Him,
(From the Dubuque Herald.)

1t will be remembered that the
first circus that exhibited in Du
buqae this season was the Back
enStoe company, among whom
was a former ring-master of Dan
Rice, and also Dams wife, who ap-
p 'ars to have gone over to the
Philisdnes out of choice. Dan
Rice's circus was in Dubuque on
Saturday last, and from here went
to McGregor, aud spread their
tents in that city on, Monday.
Backenstoe's company reached
Prairie dd Chen, on the opposite
side of tie river, aud exhibited on
the same day. There is a hostili-
ty of feeling between the two com
panies. The sages have told how
much worse than any bubbling
hell is woman's hate. Dan Rice :
wife, if reports be true, is no ex-
ception TO the rule, and makes
things red-hot and lively for her
husband and friends whenever she
has an opportunity. On Monday
morning, it is said at her instiga-
ton, a party of men belonging to
Backenstoe's Circus crossed the
river from Prairie du Chen to
McGregor, and going to the
grounds where Dan Rice's Circus
was exhibiting, picked quarrel
with the men, and a general fight
ensued, in which there were not
less than forty men engaged on
either side. For awhile there was
a scene of bloody riot that beggarS
description, and would have end.
ed in loss of life had not the au-
thorities of McGregor interfered
and put a stop to it. Nine of the
men were arrested and sent to
Jail, and the others made good
their escape. AS it was, few got
off without broken noses, bunged
and blackened eyes and swollen
mouths.
