The house has wasted another day in hair
splitting over points of order, and considering
how to get rid of swallowing the bill included in
the report of the committee on commissioner
ships. 1t has been a very dreary and fruitleSs
session. The decision of the speaker on the
point raised yesterday was allowed to stand as
the judgment of the house, Mr.. Hoyt withdraw
ing his doubt Of the vote taken just before adj
journment last evening. The new point was,
that section two, three and four of the bill
regarding the stale board of health,
which gives certain duties to be performed by
the board in cases of nuisance and extraordina-
ny cases of epidemic or contagion were not au-
thorized under the committees order. Sections
one and five Of the bill make the members of the
board removable at the pleasure of the govern
or, and provide that the secretary shall be en-
o6cio member of the boards Of education and
state charities. No objection was made 10
these sections, and hence a question arose as to
division of the bill, that the house
might reject the Objectionable part and
enact the other There was a long dis

rRIDAY, APRIL 10. 1s7e.

The French intriguer at Washington, Cham
brun, has entaueled himself in question of ve-
racity; not the first, we believe. Some time ago
the secretary of war had occasion to write
letter to the secretary of state relative to some
thing in the correspondence between Remington
and Iecesne concerning the sale OF arms. This
letter went from the state department TO the
French legation, in the course of confidential
diplomatic correspondence. But Bellonet, the
acting French minister, allowed it to be made
public Chambrun took copy of it for use in
his intrigues. The letter was not Of particular
importance in itself, but to make it public was a
violation of diplomatic courtesy, and indicated
that Bellonet himself belongs to the ring which
has sought so actively to save the swindler,
Victor Place. The secretary of state very
naturally objected 70 this proceeding. Therefore
TO justify it Chambrun has declared that the
letter was not confidential, because Gen. Bel
KNAPP read it to him and Others Gin loud
voice" before sending it 10 the state depart
ment; and he actually swore to this statement
before the committee. 1t appears, however,
that not one of the ''others" who are said TO
have heard the letter read, can be found, and
the individuals named for examination swear
positively that they heard nothing of the kind;
besides, Gen Belknap swears positively that he
did not read the letter to Chambrun or anybody
else As proof that he saw and heard the letter,
Chambrun gives particular description of it,
which he can do easily, of course, having seen,
read and copied it at the French legation. Not
even his political opponents will deny that Gen
Beknap is man of irreproachable truth and
honor We begin to know what Chambrun is,

suit was thatthe bill in question was thrown ont,
and the next three relating to railroad fares, TO

Boston, and 10 street railway fares, etc, respect

next bin in order, relating to state representation
in railway companies, was admitted and tool,

lating to the TIME of furnishing reports by de-
partments and officials of the commonwealth,
was objected to on the ground that the commit

ties and powers of state officials Discussion
ensued, in which the merits of the bill were
brought in with such effect that the house re-
versed its previous decision by a vote % TO So,
and the bill was admitted. Objection was made
to the bill relating TO bills for appropriations Of
money, but the chair refused to exclude it, in
consideration of the vote of the house on

bin was TO regulate the sale of spirituous and
other liquors. 1t was objected 10, the speaker

that seven of the committees bills are admitted
and ten excluded Having shaken off this par

quite freely, and without much talk the bills in
relation to the disposal Of forfeited liquors; to
authorize guardians TO sell the real
estate OF their wards at private sale;
relating to the place of imprisonment

was not long in doing it. The substitution of

ACHILD FRIGHTENED INTO IMBECILITY.-A
week or two ago a family named Woodstock
arrived in this city from Westchester, New
York, intending to settle in the state,
and accepted the invitation of an old ac-
quaintance, residing on Russell street, to stop
with him for a week Or two Funtl they had de-
clded where to locate. Not being suited with
the city, Woodstock took trip to the interior,
and purchased farm in Berrien county. He
came back Saturday night, and the family
would have left Monday, only for the recurrence
Of II sad affair, due to the Puritanical ideas and
hald-heartednesS of the father.
The youngest Of the children is boy of
aoout four years old, who being pet, has been
allowed to sleep with his parents. Sunday
night the Wood>tocks, desiring to 20 to church,
an effort was made TO get the boy to go to bed
with the older brother. He was frightened and
timid, and made great opposition saying "that
he was afraid Of bears and wolves" The oppo.
sition irritated the father, and he declared that
he would 20 to church and that Charlie
should 90 to sleep in that bed. As the child
kept crying and teasing, the older one was made
to get up and sleep elsewhere. This did not
help matters, of course, and then Woodstock
told the boy he would lock the door and leave
him in the dark if he did not cease crying
Frightened further, the lad continued weeping
and beseeching, and Woodstock did as he said
he would.
The boy screamed at the top of his voice for 4

Disraeli, the English tory writer, went to
Manchester, the other day, and delivered a po-
litical speech. He usually has something TO
say, and says it with effect. On this occasion,
his chief purpose was 10 attack the Gladstone
ministry, and, of course he gave much attention
to the Alabama question, aiming to persuade
his audience that Mr.. Gladstone and his asso-
ciates have blundered, and, also, been outwitted
by the American negotiators AT the begin
ming OF his speech, he directed few spiteful
shafts at DiKe's calculation of the cost of the
English monarchy. Proceeding, he said this:
"Now, gentlemen, the government ofthe United
States are very clever men, no doubt; no one
disputes their ability, their energy, or their
acuteness" Clearly, this complimentary orator
has no disposition to quarrel with the United
States; but he charged that the stupid binder
ing of the Gladstone ministry has made the re-
lations of the two countries. He processes a
peculiar theory of the death and burial of the
Reverdy johnson treaty. 1t is that the Ameri-
can government saw the defeat of the tories, in
the elections, and hoped to get better terms from
ministry which would have Bright in it! 1t
would insult his intelligence to suppose that he

The New civil service Rules

The report of the civil seryi: e board was made
on Tuesday Of this week, and with it was pub
lished an executive order, which our readers
have already seen. The true theory and spirit
Of civil service reform are expressed in it. The
president says "The utmost fidelity and dill
gence will be expected Of all officers in every
branch Of the public service. Political assess
