Friday evening, June 30th-Reception to grad
uating class and their friends by President Cheney
at his c:idcncc.
Marked and radical improvements have just
been made on Sewall street, and we hasten to ac-
quaint the public Of that fact. We suppose the
cn.erprise was conceived and has been carried for
ward under the direction of the JOINT committee
on city Improvements, and we want to thank them
in this public manner for their abois in behalf Of
toe benighted people Of that precinct a dram
has been dag along enc side Of the street to the
depth Of two and one fourth inches. This is
doubtless intended as an outlet for the spring
floods. The Only objection to this is, the mothers
on the street are naturally socit0us for tier chill
drcn, who might accdentiy fall into the dlaln and
be drowned The expenditure OF seventY-f7c
ce1ts more en- the street, towards a cencree walk,
would complete the measure Of the Sewallites'
ioy. Let it come, even if the city treasury has to
bust"

KENT's Hill. June I.
The exhibition and commencement of this far
famed Institution is now under full sway. The
examination OF students in their various depart
ments was attended to by Rev. Messrs. Mason,
Sanderson and Chandler, the committee appointed
for this duty. They spent two days among the
classes, and gave pleasure by their uibanity and
enligening way Of putting questions; and We
trust they were well satisfied with the proficiency
manifested.
Last evening we attended the prize Declama-
tions and Readings, al Of which reflected credit
on twenty-oue, who are to graduate this year. II
we were compelled to say who did the best, We
should be puzzled; bat the pieces which pleased
us most was The "Cuticw", by Miss Beals Of Can

picture of the impending crisis j;
overdrawn. The present Confederate
House has given us O foretaste of q
policy even more alarming and ruin
Gus than has here been depicted, and
at time, too, when but one branch
Of Congress is in control of the De.
mocrsn., and it is impossible that
their wicked schemes can be immen
diately realized. What, then, may
not be expected when the South gets
control Of the Government, and in
trenches itself in power as it did be-
fore the war?
FEW IMPORTANT FACTS.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
proposed raid on the Treasury may
be formed by examining few of the
proposed measures of relief" intro
duced in the House. The first in or
der is a bill presented by Mr. Scales,
of North Carolina. Ell. r. 3145,) en-
titled .sbilI to refund certain direct
taxes on lands collected from citi-
zens in the late insurrectionary
States under the act of August 5,
1861"
The law of 1861 levied direct tax
of $40, 900, 900, and apportioned the
same among the several States, ac-
cording to population, for payment.
All of the States but those in insur-
rection assumed their quotas and
paid them, excepting small balance
still due. The amount apportioned
to the South was as follows.

Democratic Civil Service Reform.

4
General Hurlbut, distinguished
member of the United States House
of Representatives, thus describes
the Democratic practice of civiI-ser-
vice reform:
"How has this House applied civil
service reform in its own appoint
ments? Has it retained competent
officers or appointed new ones for the
sole consideration of fitness Sir, the
advent of this Democratic House to
power was signalzed by a pilgrimage
such as has not been seen before
Lean, gaunt, famished by long absti-
hence, the multitude of applicants
passed belief. From Maryland to
Texas came hordes of offioe-hunters
on the trail of their unhappy patrons,
whose life they made miserable by
brazen Importantly. They trooped
to the plumber as vultures seek the
carcass. You selected a doorkeeper
on the sole ground of his experience
in the same capacity in the Confede-
rate Congress, and you summarily
turned him out because he honestly
wrote to a private friend what you all
felt, but dared not say that office was
good thing TO have. 1t was hard on
Fitzhugh, for he was not the only
man on the floor that felt bigger than
old Grant.
"You turned out clerk after clerk,
gray and experienced in duty, and
filled their places with partisans.
"You removed disabled Union SOL
diers, and filled their places with 9TH
ers of another stripe, and would have
made clean sweep but for the popu-
lar indignation.
"You refused at first clerks to some
of the committees, but have surrepti-
tiously and in detail appointed more
clerks than ever before known.
"You have twice exhausted the
contingent fund of the House by
needless and extravagant sums ex-
pended for witnesses on trivial mat
tiers, and have run up bills to be met
hereafter by frightful amounts for
making and printing your investiga-
tons.
"You have insulted the President
by resolutions demanding his author
ity for the exercise of his official func-
tons outside of the city of Washing
ton, and have been ANONYMOUSLY con-
victed of ignorance of the law and of
history by his crushing reply.
'You have demanded elaborate re-
ports on all manner of subjects from
the Departments, and have hindered
the public service by exacting these
replies on matters which had already
been officially reported and were in
print"

have had in the House of Representa-.

Tilden's Love For the Soldiers.

Mr. Daniel p. Jones, an authorized

The Washington Chronicle says:
/" Jeff Davis writes from London re-
Gently to an old and particular friend
in this city, who, in his exultation
could not keep the letter secret,
that, in case of Tilden's election he
shall return in time to meet his friends
from the South at the opening of the
Confederate House. He expresses
great hopes of Tilden's election, and
writes that this is the belief of the
thousands Of Confederate exiles in
England, including Benjamin, his
Secretary of State under the Rebel
Government. Davis says that the
sympathies of the monarchists OF Eng
land are all in favor of Tilden. He
writes that if Tilden is elected nearly
all of the exiles in England and Eu-
rope will Immediately return, and
that for himself be shall hereafter re-
side in Washington. Davis has scores
of old friends in this city who held Of
fee for many years, through his pow
erful influence, and they now have
strong hopes of Tilden's election and
thor reinstatement in Office. Two or
three, through letters from Davis. got
places under the Confederate House,
but the amount Of patronage was IN.
sufficient to employ many. They say
that if Tilden is elected he will make
