an apr ILLus rRATIoN.

We have in a recent occurrence in Bath,
S!euben county, New York, fair illustra-
ton of the way in viii ch civil service re-
form is carried out under the Grant admin
istration. The present Postmaster, Mr..
Ebenezer Ellis, as some time since &C
cused of various political irregularities,
such as shouting for two candidates at
once, as uncertain ffice-holders are apt TO
Go. The most grievous charge against him
was his opposition to the nomination Of the
Hon. II. Broadman Smith as candidate
for Congress. Therefore, when Smith was
elected, his first official act was the decspi-
tstion of Ellis, and the appointment of
Jared II. Thompson in his place.
Subsequently, Mr.. Ellis made it appear
that he had always been the friend of
Smith, and Smiths second official act was
the decapitalion of Thompson and the res
toration of Eils's head; the whole affair
only occupying eight days. In the face Of
such facts as these, the President certainly
has all the latitude he can wish in reward
ing "those who are in close sympathy with
the Administration" Is it any wonder
when such things as these are done that the
people regard ciJil service reform as a hum
bug; as net spread by the Philadelphia
Convention to gather in votes for caDdi-
date who had no intention Whatever of en-
forcing it, unless it suited his purposes bet
ter than to disregard the rules established
by the advisory board?

TRANSPORTING LIVE FISH ACROSS
THE CONTINENT.

The California fish commissioners, with
the object of improving the fish stock Of hat
State, have Undertaken the project OF trans-
porting alive across the continent car load
of the best varieties of Atlantic coast fish
not found in Calif,rnia. The car will be
sent East by the Central Pacific Railroad
to the Cold Spring trout ponds in Charles
ton, New Hampshire, where the nsh Will
be collected, and where the car will be
thoroughly fitted up previous TO It's depar-
lure, so as to form as complete az squsri-
um as the circumstances will permit. The
car will probably | ave Charleston for its
Western journey the latter part of May
aud it is expected to carry eight or ten diff
ferent varieties of live fish, with nearly 3
900 gallons of water. The undertaking.
which will be on the largest scale yet at
tempted in this line, is in charge of Mr.
Livingston Stone, deputy commissioner of
the United States for the Pacific coast
Exchange.
Fish multiply so rapidly and proftably
that the fine salmon of the Columbia river
have already been successfully propagated
East of the Rocky Mountains and Of the
Mississippi; while the best fish ofNew Eng
land streams and lakes are planted in the
likes and rivers whose waters flow into the
Pacific. The production Of this kind ofan-
imal food for man, is likely to grow into
a large industry. 1t uiilizes resources al
most as much unknown as California
gold mines were thirty years ago.
We have the largest bodies of fresh water
on the globe, all of which are admirably
adapted to fish culture; and our facilities for
making fish ponds of any desirable dimen-
sions, smaller than Lake Superior, extend
over some two million square miles. These
advantages, rightly improved, will give, in
the first instance, vast amount of food for
man, and in the second place, fertilizers
drawn from water in almost equal quantity
to renovate all cultivated land. When we
so diversity our industry as to make all
creeks, rivers, lakes aud the ocean restore
fertility to every field and garden, our econ
omy and labor will be selfsustaining'.

PROGRESS OF CONSUMPTION.

A suit has been brought in one of the
courts OF Utah which furnishes an insight
into the manner and reason Of bestowing
offices under the Grant administration.
The suit is brought by one Thomas j.
Drake, Of Pontiac, Michigan, against Obed
f. Strickland for the recovery of s., 800 as
promised by promissory note dated Wash
ipgton City, March %, 1859, in which Mr..
Strickland promises to pay to Mr.. Drake or
10 his order, 500 on the list of October
1869, and like sum on the LIST day OfJuly,
1870, and on the LIST day of January, 1871;
but providing that no payments falling due
after the makers death can be collected.
There is something more than meets the
eye in this business. Drake at the time,
this note was made, was a Judge OF the
United States Court in Utah, and Strick-
land was in Washington after an office. He
proposed to Drake that if he would resign
and get him his place "a four years berth,)
he would give him the first years salary.
Drake resigned aud Strickland was his sue
cessOr; served his four years, but forgot to
pay Drake the money be had promised.
The laxity Ct morals which pervsdes every
department of the Government is cropping
out wherever there is an office 10 bestow.
The selling and buying Of office under
Grant has become very common thing,
and it appears to have been inaugurated by
the time be was fairly settled in his office.

TIE murder of Gen. Candy by Captain
Jack is made the occasion by the Pittsburgh
CoHunercSat,a Republican journal, TO excite
luminosity against the Southern people.
That paper says: ..ssasaass4-a-zzsass
"Unquestionably the murder of Gen.
CANDY was horrible case Of bloody per-
tidy. and the demand for vengeance upon
The murderers is perfectly natural aud prop
er. But was Il any worse Than the murder
of President Lincoln? We ask this ques-
ton for the benefit of those papers which
are now clamoring for the determination
of the Indians generally, but which either
openly apclogized for, or secretly sympath-
zed with, the other dreadful crime"
Whatsoever many people may have
thought of Mr.. Lineoln's course as
President, there is reason to believe that
none either "openly spologised for, or Sc
cretly sympathised with" his assassin; GER
tainly none such could be found among the
Southern p lople, who regarded Mr.. Lincoln's
death as a calamity TO them. Mr.. Lincoln's
death was produced by means of adreadful
crime; and all connected with it were put
to death; one unfortunate woman was
hanged, who so far as proofs
are concerned had nothing what
ever to do with it. Now why this effort to
excite the animosity against the Southern
people which has been gradually dying out
duringthe last few yearss Is it the deter
mination of the class which the Pittsburg
COmmne rcidL represents TO keep alive the
bitter memories of the war by recouuting
horrible crimes with which the Southern
people had no more connection than the
Modoc Indians, who are now eliciting the
tenderest sympathies of these Republican
journals?

DIsPOsING OF THE "sWAG.r

Congressman Averill, of Minnesota, puts
on the bold front that he voted for extra
pay because be wanted it. Of his colleague,
Dunnell, letter in the st. Paul Dispatch
says:
"Dunnel is a member of the Baptist
Church lin Owatonnsl, and one Of its best
paying patrons. On his quarterage becOm-
ing due, be inclosed S75 in note to the
pastor, saying that he would find therein
lis share of the Congressional bscll-psy.
The minister declined to receive it,"
An Iowa member is reported to have di-
vided bis "swag" among the schools in the
counties composing his district, and the
,clool trustees of one county are said to
have resolved to return it to him on the
ground that they do rot keep "feIc,."

AFEw facts which have an important
bearing on the prosperity of the West and
South, should not be lost sight of at this
time. Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri
can make iron cheaper than Pennsylvania,
and are doing it at this day; Iowa and Il
liuois can make leather and leather fabrics
cheaper than Massachusetts,; the Southern
cotton factories are earning twenty-five per
cent. dividends b. making heavier cloth
than the Rhode Island mill make; and in
the manufacture Of wood, there is no State
in New England that possesses equal sd-
vanlages with the West and Southwest.
The West is developing manufactures with
surprising rapidity, and in few years will
have home market for a large share of its
surplus products. Ills will solve the
transportation problem, or, rather, it will
transfer it from the West TO the East.

of p2id-up insurance that can be had on its sur
render, after the payment Of two or three an
nual premiums.

other company.

those Of any other company of its age.
Sixth. Its policies contain no unnecessary or
nliberal restrictions.

PLANTING rNsOUTHERN GEORGIA.

A planter writing TO the Columbus En-
qairer says: "The corn crop of this section
is about the same as last year. The stand
of corn is unusually good. Planters are
well up with their work. Cotton planting
is about over"
The State Agricultural Society of Georgia
aud others have committees of inquiry on
the causes and proper preventives oflarge
negro emigration from central and South
err Georgia. The correspondent of the
Enquirer suggests that colored people be
allowed and encouraged to plant
and raise more corn, and
thus improve their condition.
Perhaps something may be done in this way
to foster contentment; but restless feeling
springs as naturally in the bosom Of black
man as in that of white man. Migration
is prominent feature in the genus homo;
and the African race, with entire freedom
OF motion, are not likely to remain from
generation to generation on the same plan
tat;on. The writer remembers when sla-
very was abolished in the State of New
York, and how few freedmen remained
on large estates, (some Of them en-
braciDg whole counties and entailed) after
they could go where they pleased. White
laborers took the places vacated by migra-
tory negroes, as a matter of necessity. Old
farmers said, after trying free Africans for
years, "nO man can make a silk purse out
Of sow's ear" and employed Europeans
20 cultivate their land. 1t should be re-
membered that under ON first Constitution
slaves were imported from Africa into New
FORK and other cities, till 1908. Our in
dustry, society and whole country are in
state Of pretty rapid transition. The Emper-
or of Russia has some sixty millions sui ecis;
and among the millions of emancipated
serfs, thousands have caught the emigration
fever, which brings so many large armies to
to the United States from Europe, never to
return. If all the negroes in Africa were
planted on American soil they could not re-
sst the great tidal wave from Europe whose
force originates in the vitality, mental and
physical power of three. hundred million
white people. What this fruitful activity
will do, aided by steam, electricity and
and capital, coming generations will soon
witness,

WHEN greenbachs were worth only from
forty TO fifty cents on the dollar, Congress
thought it was enough for Mr.. Lincoln TO
receive salary Of sos, 900 year with S22,-
500 for contingent expenses. Now when
they are rated at about eighty-fve cents on
the dollar, it votes Grant salary of $50.
600 year, with So 100 for contingencies.

SOME interesting facts in relation to wages
are developed by the census Of this coun-
try. Thus in 1870, there were employed in
manufactures 2,075, e67 hands, with wages
at S775,631, 593-An average of 1878 81
annually for each person employed, in cur
rency. In 1860 there we're paid S37S,87S,-
$3.50 to 1911, 246 persons-sn average of
S2SS.94 per capita. The increase in the
gold value Of wages paid to hands employ
ed In manufactures has been SS4.G0 per
