TIE MULLETT, CA. b., who has
so long held the office of Govern
ment Architect, has sent in his resig-
nation. The reason was his lack Of
success in bringing Secretary Bristow
to knuckle to his arrogant dictation.
He is a conceited, arbitrary, imperti-
nent upstart and an inferior architect,
who has insuited his superiors and
bullied those under him until he has
become intolerable. Secretary Bris-
tow resisted his endeavors to secure
control of large contingent fund
contrary to law, and gave him to I'M
derstand that if he was not willing
to comply with the law, his resigna-
ton would be accepted. The public
interests will survive the event.

Newspaper Property.

The recent sale of q controlling
interest in the Chicago Tribunc nj
the valuation Of 100000, which
makes the market value of the stock
800 per cent, affords another con
spicuous illustration Of the truth of
assertion that there is no property SO
valuable rs a good newspaper prop

100000, despite its lavish OUTLAWS for
news, particularly in the tclegraphic
department, and Notwithstanding the
fact that all its stockholders draw
salaries, the Tibuae has for several
years past paid its shareholders tif-
teen per cent, or $l5 1000 a wear.

Rebel Claims Sc be Presented ia til
Democratic House.

One Of the first effects of the re-
cent Democratic successes, is to in
spire the late rebels with the hope OF
having their damages during the
war made good to them by the gov
eminent. Among the Washington
dispatches to the Chicago Tribune
is the following:
An army officer, who has been
spending some months in the South,
and who returned here to-day, con
firms the belief that the successes Of
the Democratic party in 1876 would
be followed by an attempt to REIN
bursc the Southern Democrats fer all
damages sustained by them while re-
sisting the Union armies in the late
war. This officer says that, in all
the Southern States, the persons VIII o
suffered these losses have, since the
elections, begun to gather evidence in
support Of the claims which they will
make upon the Government in the
event Of the expected advent Of the
Democratic party to power. This
officer, who himself was i'll command
OF division which lived upon the
enemy's country, was ut various
places questioned as 10 the line of
march and the character Of the oper-
tons Of the troops under his com
mand. The ayowed purpose Of these
inquiries was to obtain information
which might be used as evidence i'll
the future prosecution Of these claims.
The persons inquiring made no CON
cealmcnt Of their intentions or the
purport Of their questions.

The CHICAGO TRIBUNE's position on the leading
measures now before the country may be con
densed into the following enunciations:
AS Agriculture is the basis OF National wealth.
whatever policy benefits that great interest pro-
notes the prosperity OF the whole country. The
cost of transportation of Western farm products
TO foreign markets consumes half the selling val
ue, and the high duties levied to subsidize special
interests doubles the retail price of the goods
ceived in exchange for the crops,-thus bleeding
and burdenng the farmer until he staggers from
weakness under the weight of the load. Hence
the chief cause of hard times among farmers.
