CHICAGO, May 6.-This week much comment
has been made on the action Of the Board Of
Health In letting the day scavenger work. The
facts in TIE case are these: When the bids
we're opsued motion was mada to reject al
bds not in accordance with the specifications.
This Haa not considered. and Ill bids referred to
the Finance COMMITTEES. 4 majority reported in
favor OF the lowest bid 1900, and RECON-
meuded that the contract be awarded in con-
for1nity herewith. At the same time they stated
that but two bids we're in accordance With tho
specifications, those OF Dunn Il Co.. and DoheneF.
That being the case = majority thought that it
would be Illegal to let the contract to any bid
not in accordance With the specifications ASIDE
from the fact that Peter Doheney, who VAS
the lowest bidder, and Tho hgd. had tne contract
for the three years past, had not done his work
according to contract, and had been source Of
constant annoyance to, the department. The
majority considered II be had not done it we'll
for s1l9 per day: That would be ID Do u IN the 9sne
been much criticised in this matter they arc
contident that their action viii bear the closest
acrutiny- They believe that they. could not
legally give the contract to any person who had
not put in bid according to their specifications.
Willis am in the minority, and did not vote foF
the contract, thought this explanation but duo

We have watched the Turco-Servian
contest with much concern, and are glad
to be able to say that the magnanimity
OF the Turks promises to render outside
interference unnecessary. They pro-
pose to mollify their enemies by amnes-
tic proffers that will greatly exalt them
among civilized men everywhere. If
the insurgents will lay down their arms,
the Turkish government will pardon
everybody except the leaders and all
those who actively participated in the in
surrection. Now this is magnanimity,
indeed. Pardon will be granted to every
erybody excep. the officers and soldiers
These will be beheaded or flung into the
Bosphorus, and the despotism which oc-
casioned the insurrection will be estab-
lished more firmly than ever. What
pretext can the Servians find, now, for

BY providing for the actual need of the
civil service, and giving no margin for
waste and extravaganza, the Democratic
house of congress saved to the people the
very considerable sum Of $29,942, 1853.
This was done in spite of the most violent
opposition Of the Republican senate,
many members of which insisted upon
extravagant appropriations out of which
might be formed the usual fund for cor
rupti0g voters. The house deserves the
thanks OF the country for taking the first
practical step in the direction Of retrench-
ment and reform that has been taken
during the past sixteen years.

THE. BAYONET ORDER.

The avowed purpose ofPresident Grant
to exercise an armed interference with
the elections in the South, occasioned q
profound sensation here as elsewhere,
among men of all shades OF politics; and
the only expression that was heard was
that of severe and unstinted condcmna-
ton. The very resolution OF congress
Which the president quotes as authority
tor his extraordinary order, was passed
by the house in the confident expecta-
ton that it would remove any pretext
for military interference in southern
elections. The first resolution denOunces
as a crime all attempts to control voters
by violence or fraud, and then demands
that all such crimes be promptly pun
ished by resort to any court having jul
risdicton. No Democrat who gave
his support to the resolution
supposed for one moment that
the president or anybody else would find
authority in them for placing the voting
places of the South under the armed sur
veillance of United States soldiers. 1t is
the clear intent and meaning of the
house that the crimes denounced should
be punished by the people in their
| courts, without any interference what
ever upon the part OF the United States
army. In every Southern state, eXcep,
those under Radical control, the courts
are entirely unobstructed, and the peo'
pie are abundantly able TO punish the
wrong and vindicate the right, in the
manner prescribed by law.
There can be, then, but one meaning
intended by this order. 1t is not to Sc
cure tree, full and fair vote among tn,
people OF the South but to carry at tn,
point of the bayonet, enough states, L
secure the election of Hayes anC
Wheeler. That this dlabolical purpos,
will be defeated, we feel abundant,
sure, out the outrage is none the less
and none the less deserving of the sever
and unstinted condemnation of tn
American people.

The congressional inquiry into Mis-
sissippi affairs, prolonged and exhaustive
as it was, disclosed no case wherein Re-
publican orators were deferred, through
threats OF violence, from addressing Re.
publican mass meetings. What the sun
repentant rebels" of Mississippi shrank
from doing, the negro Radicals of Cairo
do, without calling out from their fellow
white Radicals, word of rebuke or con-
domination. Quite recently a colored
orator from the south, Mr.. Bosier, was
posted Tor Democratic speech here. and
the necessary arrangements were made
for the meeting. The colored orator had
not been In the city two hours before he
was informed that il he attempted to
make Democratic speech the negroes
would take his life before he left the
rostrum. As matter Of course had the
speaker been assailed, the white popula-
ton would have protected him but after
he had taken survey of the whole field
calling TO mind that no less thar
five hundred negroes, some of them
desperate characters-have congregated
here, and feeling assured that, although
the whites might save his individual per
son from harm, an attempt to mob him
would result in bloodshed, he refused Il
nil his appointment, and adopted wha1
he conceived to be the safest and besI
means TO escape from the city. This out
rage, occurring in the State of Illinois
where all the state offices are filled b,
Radicals, will excite no inquiry what
ever. Radical newspapers will make n,
reference to 1t, and Radical fanatics vii
speak Of it in terms of approval. 10,
differently the matter would have Lee
estimated, had the same negro been de
TERED, through threats OF violence, fror
addressing Radical meeting in Missi,
sippi or Louisiana. The Occurrenc
would have formed a conspicuous blotc
