he opened the veins OF his arm with
pair OF scissors. This version Of the
death of the deposcd sovereign will he

tlie Turk is tatalist, and the most I'M

der the circumstances would he to fore

the cX-sultan had abundant reasons for
desiring his death. and these must have

There wa, some hesitation among for
eign powers about recognizing the
revolution and its result, the usurpation
OF Murad. The Turkish people do not
take kindly TO sudden political changes,
and, while Abdul Aziz lived, there was
continual danger OF n reaction replacing
him on the throne, and bringing sudden
vengeance upon all concerned in the re-
cent treason. There was no appearance
OF popular discomfort prior to the out
break, and there is no proof that the con-
spirators represented anybody but them
selves. The whole affair was the work
Of palace intrigue or ministerial plot,

\ { .ina,lian paper, not at all given To

very strange aud sensational story about

said 10 have acknowledged that he, and
not Patricl, james Whelan. was the muir
dercr of that eloquent orator. earnest pa

Thomas Darcy Niece. Niece, then
Il member OF the government in Ottawa,
was shot. it viii be remembered, at
about o'clock on the morning OF the 9TH
of April. ISIS lie had delivered one

cion, and. though at first the case against
him seemed very slight, he was finally
convicted, mainly on circulnstantial EVIL
dcncc, and hanged. Trotter was 4 page
in the house OF commons at the time and
the son of the woman with
whom Niece boarded. He was the first
person TO discover the body of the
murdered statesman, and was cOmpaii-
ion OF Whelan the murderer. The evil
dence at the trial showed very clearly
that Niece believed himself TO be fol-
lowed and walked with unusual haste to

not kill him." 1t has always been held
by the detectives that there were three

thought OF pressing the charge against

This exhibit shows that the labor -

This exhibit shows that the labor per
capita imposed upon the clerks was greater
at the beginning of the present fiscal year
than that imposed at the beginning of the
preceding year. During the fiscal years Of
1928 and 1874 the number of clerks
employed was two hundred and sixty
seven, and for the year ending June 30,
1875, one hundred and eighty four. On
the lst of July last even this number was
reduced by act of Congress to one hun
drcd and siNty-one, so that the labor of
this fiscal year istwenty- three ne-hundred-
and. eighty. fourths greater per clerk than
that Of last year. This exhibit demonstrates
the fact that the public interests did not de-
mand the dismissal of twenty three clerks
last July; ard, as the Pension Office COM
menced in October last to call upon this
office for the examination of voucher and
pay.rolls and the verifcation of signatures,
at the rate of about two thousand per
month, there is now not only reason why
the force of the office should not be dimin-
ished, but reason, rather, why the force
should be augmented. Any reduction of
the forces Of this Office at this. time will
seriously cripple it in its general opera
tons, and reduction of forty per cent, as
proposed by the billreported to the House,
will render it absolutely impossible to per-
form the work of certain of its branches.
This office deals with every hamlet in the
country, and TO SO inconsiderately strike
at its working capacity as the appropria-
ton bill contemplates will not only be
greatly detrimental to the interests of the
Government, but will affect injuriously the
interests of thousands of individuals.

AND now another Southern State (Vir-
ginia) has gone the way of all Democratic
Commonwealth in sacrificing her public
school system. 1t seems that the fund for
the support of the schools has mysteriously
disappeared. Commenting upon this the
Norfolk Day Book says:
"Eyery man with a particle of pride or love
for the State OF his birth or residence must
feel deep humiliation and modification at
the fact that the common schools of our State
are being closed up and abandoned. and the
poor children turned out without chance to
get an education, as several schools in the
rural districts have already been closed up by
their teachers on intimation from their friends
in Richmond that there is no money to pay
them for their services, all because the money
taxed out of the people for school PURPOSES
has been taken by no one knows who or BY
what authority to pay of that portion of the
funding bonds which were stolen by the Off
GERS of our State and spent with the gamblers
and brokers'. What disgrace, what crime
is this on the fair fame of old Virginia
"Auditor Taylor don't know by who or
what authority the school funds have been
disposed OF. Treasurer 4. VI. 7. Hunter
don't know. Governor Kemper don't know,
or if he does and is honest in the matter, he
has lost the pluck which gave him reputation.
and he stands trembling victim to the power
of the thieves who have been depredatins
! upon the peoples property placed in his
charge, scared to. arraign them for their
crimes, lest their influence should crush his
political prospects.
"What condition of affairs does this pre-
sent, and what pity it is that there IS not
some power in Virginia, as there is in the
National Government, to ferret out the thieves
and bring them to punishment, or at least to
cause their dismissal or resignation from Office!
But it appears there is not, and they stalk
around in the broad daylight reveling in their
| plumber and laughing at the distress of the
people whom they have robbed, by entering
into the very sanctuary and stealing the prec-
ious and holy treasures from its altar; as the
school funds contributed by the poor parents
in our State for the education of their chill
dren partalles of this nature"
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1876-03-21

REPUBLICANS everywhere should re-
member that the difference between the
Democratic party and their own is that
while the former has always screened its
defaulters and covered up, as far as posi-
BILE, their faults, the latter has pe-sistently
ferreted out and punished its delinquents.
What was done with Swsrtwout, Jesse
Hoyt, Ike Fowler, John B. Floyd, and
hosts of small fry?'' Were any of them
punished by the Democratic party? On
the contrary, were they not whitewashed,
apologized for and excused? And how is
it with the Republican party, which has
passed through the demoralning vicissi.
tudes of four years war and handled
twenty-five thousand millions of money
during the last fifteen years? 1t has not
lost to the nation 1.-THE of the percentage
by fraudulent defalcation that had been
previously lost by the Democratic party.
And wherever q reasonable suspicion has
been entertained OF the commission of
fraud by public officer this Republican
administration has promptly investigated
it, and if found we'll grounded, secured its
punishment. Why, if the Republicans had
been as dishonest as the Democrats of
Buchanaa's administration they hwould
now be smeasb'e TO the charge q over

THE facts about the so-called Real Es-
tate Pool are now public. Democratic ex-
Congressman Eldridge invested 3d. Os in
it, and Judge Macarthur, having done the
same, thing, was bought out by Mr.. Xii
bourn. 1t will be admitted that no crlmi-
nality attached to the acts of either of
these gentlemen. Congressman and judges
have the same right to purchase real estate
that other people have, whether it be in
Washington or elsewhere. But the greedy
Democrats and the sensational journalists
of the Detective Press raised great hula
baloo over the matter, and the public be-
came unduly excited. Since these facts
have became known, however, public
opinion has changed, and current Of de-
cided sympathy for Mr.. Kilbourn has set
in. He no longer appears, even in the
minds of the most obdurate Opposition
politicians, to be the agent of corrupt
ring, but, on the contrary, to be the victim
of persecution, and man who is making
a noble sacrifice for the sake of principle.
Mr.. Speaker Kerr has it in his power, by
obeying the plain mandates of the law, to
settle this matter at once. Why does he
not do il?

TUESDAY noRS1Ne::::::::::::MLRCHn q. lEt
TIE President, as we are reliably in

THE President, as We are reliably in
formed, never saw the now somewhat
famous letter of instructions to United
States District Attorneys from Attorney
General Pierrepont until after it appeared
in print, and up to the present time has
never seen the original copy. The letter,
ii will be remembered, was intended to
advise District Attorneys having charge
of the prosecution of whisky rings that
immunity from punishment should not be
extended to informers, and it was charged
that its publication had the effect to pre-
vent the complete development of all :he
testimony that would otherwise have
been attainable against Gen. Babcock.
1t seems probable, in the light of this
explanation, that some one not altogether
disinterested may have temporarily alb
stracted it from the official records and
secured its publication. However this may
be, it is certain that the President did not
know of its existence until after it had been
published. and it is not certain that he
would have approved oft lift had been sub
mitted to him. In this connection it is due
to Attorney General Pierrepoint to explain
that he intended the letter to be of a conf
dental character, and was as much sur
prised as any one else at its publication.
