Here is an admission b. the late Chair
Ian of the Committee on Appropriations
which sustains all that the opponents of
Grautism have claimed and urged. In
order 10 achieve reform at all, it is first
necessary TO turn out the party in power,
aud 10 put in n new Administration wholly
disconnected with it A radical remedy
can alone reach disc use which has be-
come chronic and threatens TO ho fatal.
Why lie il that an \ ADMINISTRATION House
cannot make reductions that Democratic
House can make? The answer is simple.
Tie Republicans in Congress. who multi
pit ell Offices, raised salaries, ana augment
ed the public expendit res IN other forms,
were the brneHciaries and tho slaves OF
the system which they created. The Presi-
dent and tho heads OF departments dis
tributed this patronage among them, aud
thus held the recipients in personal and
political bondage.
They had common interest in the
greatest extravaganza and in pilng up the
appropriations mountain high, because
the partisan dividends " ere regulated hy
the amount of money taken from the
Treasury. The people revolted at this
harefaced plumber in 1874, and elected a
Democratic House 10 stop it. They laid
heavy hands on every Senator nj who
could be reached, and sent ZACH CHAND-
LER, MATT CARPENTER, and ALEXANDER

Now, "hen there is no servilc House TO
DO GRANTS bidding, and for the first time
since the close OF the civil war an honest
and real effort il made to put on the
brakes and stop public robbery, the Sem
ate rushes TO the rescue and demands that
the old system shall 20 ON, that the worst
abuses shall continue, and that reform
shall be kicked out OF doors. And the
men who are conspicuous in this work are
those like ErFIGY SARGENT aud his class,

What Mr.. GARFIELD said Of the House Ia
equally true OF the Senate. Ii is notorious
that the latter body has for years past
been regarded as far more venal than the
former in proportion to numbers, and that

BIO so successfully made in the popular
branch, on account Of the rules and the

OF bargain and sale, and even that in which
the name Of patriotism is invoked for

the Indians, or of sound currency for tho
pretended return to specie payments, ia

Caleb Cushing Stepping Down and Out.

The Hon. CALEB CUSHING, United States
Minister TO Madrid, Is about 20 return 10
this country. To insure four months
more pay he has applied for four months
leave Of absence, but he will not return to
his post.
His private secretary Mr.. CHARLES
TYING, arrived here from Europe on
Wednesday last and left for Washington
last night.
The real mission OF Mr.. CUSHING to Mad

Spanish Government. This claim amount
cd TO about three millions OF dollars for
losses and damages accruing from the i'll
legal connsoation of Mr.. ANGARICA's pop
erty, chiefly sugar estates in Cuba, by
the Spanish authorities Of that island.
Mr.. CUSHING was interested to the
amount of one-third on all moneys col

Some Of the Republican newspapers think
It high compliment TO HAYES that the Demo

Many sailors and passengers, and on
GERS of war and mercantile vessels. are
attacked and die of yellow fever soon
after their arrival in Havana and other
Spanish West Indian ports The ships
then carry the disease with them to every
seaport where the weather Ia sufficiently
hot, and the places are sufficiently filthy
to allow it to thrive. All Governments
which have vessels sailing to Spanish West
Indian ports shCuld at once interest them
selves in this questions; for hundreds and
thousands of lives are not only sacrificed
every year in the Spanish West Indian
ports, but yellow fever is conveyed annu-
ally ~ other places.
The importation of yellow fever into
New Orleans from Havana and Vera Cruz
In 1873 is well proven, and its conveyance
TO Memphis and Shreveport during the
same year is an established fact. The
worthless quarantine which was main
tanned by the Administration officials Mt
the Mississippi river station was the sole
cause Of the introduction Of yellow fever
into the United states in that year The
quarantine officer was only dismissed from
Office long after all tie mischief was done,
and when the facts could no longer be sup
pressed.
The United States should take the initia-
tive in procuring the necessary sanitary re-
form in the Spanish West Indian seaports.

tons to Cuba and Spain as follows:

Road Laws.

In Chester county, Pa, roads are
in charge of township officers, who
are held responsible for their condi-
ton. Every three years they are di-
vided into short sections of not more
than half a mile, ank sold at public
auction, to the lowest bidder, who is
bound by written contract; the on
ly reservation made is, that the pur-
chaser must be a citizen OF the town
ship, and must sign the contract. Lee
gal decisions have fixed that the pub
lie have no rights beyond that of
passing over the road in the ordi
nary course of travel, and that the
right TO all the grass. fruit or miner
ais, remains with the owner OF the
farm from which the land was taken.
The township supervisors have un-
limited control as to earth needed
for repairs, and there is no appeal
from their commands. The benefits
Of this plan are, that the roads are
usually bought by some adjacent
farmer, who by little work at the
proper time, may keep them in good
order at less expense to the town
ship than by the old plan, under
which the mending was done only at
stated times. The main drawback
seems to be, that the supervisor,
being man and "neigbor," is not
always as particular near home as
further off. Will strict legal con-
struction allow line fence, no mat
ter how wide, to have its middle on
the line? L think in this county, it
would be found that each one of two
adjacent neighbors must have all of
his half of the fence on his own land.
Suppose one elects to have a hedge
with a ditch on each side of it, can
he place one ditch and q half of the
hedge on his neighbor's land? Many
farmers have an idea that they may
have any unsightly object near the
road, provided it is on the field side
of the fence, and if, when in this po-
sition, it frightens horses they are
not responsible. Recent legal decis-
sions seem to show that even in the
above case they may be held respon-
sible for damage arising from horses
being frightened and running Off

A Mothers Words.


A mother on the Green hills Of Yer
mont was holding by the right hand
a son 16 years old, mad with love of
the sea. And as she stood by the
garden gate one morning, she said:
Edward, they tell me-for 1 never

of seaman's life is drink. Promise
me. before you quit your mothers
hand, that you will never drink"
