An Indignant Boot PoIisher.

In preparing for the days labor and
to improve his running capacity, May
or Richards stepped into Jerry's boot
blacking booth and engaged his servi-
ces to secure, as soon as possible, q
good shine to his feet gear. Jerry went
to work with alacrity to bring about
proper lustre, and while so engaged up
steps Mr. Cook, opposing candidate
for the office of Mayor, and took the
adjoining vacant chair in the booth.
Jerry was working desperately to get
through with his official business as
soon as possible so as TO "shine up'
Mr.. Cook, when along came Mr.. j. =.
Stearns, who was more anxious for
Mr.. Cooks election for Mayor than
for his own as Councilman of the Sec
ond Ward. Mr.. Stearns saw at q
glance the advantage that Mr.. Rich
ards would have in starting on the
first days race with his boots well
frightened, and to prevent such an
advantage operating against his friend
Cook, he threw down his cane and
grasping a set of brushes and a
pot of backing, went to work desper-
ately on Mr.. Cooks boots, with all the
rapidity and decision of an expert in
the business, and succeeded in polish
ing Mr.. Cooks leather before jerry
finished Mr.. Richards. By M.
Stearns' assistance Mr.. Cook thus got
considerable vantage ground thus ear
ly in the day, and kept it, coming out
of the race away ahead. Mr.. Stearns'
conduct in running an opposition TO
Jerry in his business, and in his booth.
operated disastrously to his own cleo
tion as Councilman, for jerry, feeling
himself outraged, electioneered ali
day against him and succeeded in
bringing about his defeat by securing
a majority of three for Mr.. Harkness.
Still, jerry is not appeased, and de-
clares though Mr.. Stearns may get
clear of paying license on his wharf,
he will have to pay license for the
boot -blacking business if he runs an
opposition to him. There is, howev-
err prospect that the affair may be
amicably settled to the satisfaction Of
the friends of both parties and to
themselves. Santa Barbara Indcr.

EMPLOYEES or THE HOUSE c)NsP1RiNa
AGAINST A REDUCTION OF SALARIES.
Special Dispatcl to the Bait. Gazette.
WASHINGTON. March 20.-There will
not only be a determined but an organ.
lied opposition to the executive, legis-
lative and judicial appropriation bill.
1t appears that the house employees,
headed by the clerk. have combined to
influence their friends on the demo-
cratic side to unite with the Republi-
cans in voting to recommit the bill to
the appropriation committee, with in
structions that If q systematic reduction
of salaries is to be made it should be
on the basis of salaries at the time
they were fixed. That would require
the committee to reduce the pay of
senators and member to $2.7G0, as
their pay was SO, 900 per annum when
the existing rates of compensation
wee allowed to department clerks and
most of the House employees. The
leadership of the opposition TO the bill
will be on the republican side. On
the other hand, Mr.. Randall, chairman
of the committee, will, when the time
comes, speak plainly of this insubor-
dination in the party, and on the part
of employees, and will intimate that
those who do not find the compensa-
tion proposed large enough to meet
their wants, can readily seek employ
ment elsewhere. But for them to op-
pose the work of a leading committee,
and one of the radical duties demanded
by the country is more than the leader
of the House proposes to endure in
silence. The plotters against the just
intentions of the appropriation com
mittee will be called conspirators and
their combination denounced as trail
ferrous.

Teachers Institute.
The Confessions OF n SchooImaster by
Professor Newell.

Professor M. A. Newell of the Mary.
land State Normal school located at
Baltimore, delivered very amusing
and instructive lecture before the Will
mington Teachers Institute last even
ing. Many citizens and larger proper
ton of the Board of Education than
usual increased the size OF the audience
The lecturer was introduced by Prof:
Wiley. For over an hour Mr.. Newell
kept the Institute in very humorous
and happy state of mind by looking at
the ludic.ous side of teaching and
depicting the various hobbies of
teachers. His mimicry OF teachers
and scholars in many instances were
laughable in the extreme.
lie severely criticised General Sher.
mans idea that school houses cost too
much and teachers were too well paid.
He thought the General had better
stick to blowing up people with gun
powder, than to meddle with the
schools. Unfortunately for him and
fortunate for US, the General on his
march to the see did not pass through
Maryland, or he might have seen some
houses that might hsve suited his
taste.
The Prof. then went into compari-
son if the cost of some of the guns
which the government made, with the
salaries paid for teachers and the
amount paid for school houses. The
cost of firing 2S inch gun once was
800, which amount would pay an
average teacher quarters salary and
four shots pays years salary.
Motherwell's lines to Jennie Morri-
son descriptive Of youthful love and
school days experience were beauti-
fully recited, and some practical
thoughts on teaching were given. A
vote of thanks was then given to the
lecturer and the Institute adjourn

Governor TiIden's Bad Memory.

In the late trial of the City of New York
against William NJ. Tweed, in which the
city recovered judgement of over six
millions of dollars, Gov. Tilden of that
State was witness for the city. In his
testimony he declared that he never re-
ceived from Tweed any money for politi-
cal purposes, nor had he ever applied to
him for any money for any such object.
The Governor was then shown letter in
his own handwriting, asking Tweed for
$4,000, as political subscription and al
so check drawn by Tweed to Tilden's
order and by him endorsed for $1,000.
Tilden then acknowledged that Tweed
had given this money TO partly defray
campaign expenses.

Orville and Gen. Belknap did; out it
is known to an absolute certainty that
he received large amounts of money, in
the form of presents, from a number
of individuals, and every one of which
individuals who desired it, received a

TIE vital point in the Republican

ton will not be what is said, but what
is done. Fine professions of reform,

Would the convention declare for hon

General Schenck or General Butler !?
Certainly not. Yet the reasons which
would forbid such nominations are
equally conclusive against that of any

who is of the same school of polit-

A Post-Onice Fraud Lock swindle.

WASHINGTON, March 2o.-There Is no
limit to the rascality of ex-Postmaster
General Cresswell. To-day II L Johnson,
Chief of the Elulqment Division in the
Post office Department, testified that in
1870, Mix &Co.. of Syracuse, N. Y, were
the lowest bidders for furnishing locks
for the Department, and that before the
contract was made out the parties.
through Earl, formerly CressweiPs law
partner, thought they should have five
cents more on the iron and nine cents
more on the brass locks. The question
was referred to johnson, who reported
against allowing the change, but Cress-
well consented, thereby giving the firm
$11 ,150 more than the contract called for.
At the expiration of four years, in 1875,
he renewed the contract of the same
terms, virtually robbing thelGovernment
of nearly $4,000, besides grossly violating
the law and ignoring the lids of other
responsible and lower bidedrs. Cresswell
has Grants endorsement, and is the
Government attorney before the Alabama
Claims Commission.
