further down such distinguished names

Chandler and "A. Borie The last gen.
teman is set down for the handsome sum

If the New York Sun is TO be believed,
and it claims to speak OF that it knows,
the above is another specimen of the en-
terprise of cur worthy National private
secretary and Executive confidant. That
paper asserts that the expenses of BAB.
COCKS trial amounted to about $4,000;
not exceeding $4,000. Judge PORTER
was paid $1,000; Messrs. SToRRs and
KRUM received a proportionate amount.
while "that beautiful and pure gentle
man." ex-Attorney General LauGaulet
WILLIAMS probably made wonder
Gus kind BY a fellow feeling,
volunteered his valuable services
free gratis for nothing. Hence it seems
thst the enterprising mind Of the private
secretary saw fine opportunity to make
little something extra to soO!he him for
the worry and raching to which his gen.
tie sylph-like soul was subjected by hsv-
ing been indicted as thief and he de-

MORTON having been badly beaten in
the PINCHBACK matter, tried to recover
himself by tackling Mr.. GORDON, and
was again completely knocked out of
time. What with GORDON in the Sen

with a Cord )on-Knott. (The execra-
bieness of the pun Is excusable since it
so perfectly conveys truthful idea of
the situatiou.)

The Co,g'ier-Jouymdl, says: "The
Washington Republican has suddenly
stopped calling Governor Chamberlain,
OF South Carolina, traitor rebel and
'scoundrel' since he has determined to
abandon his scheme OF reforming the
government OF his adopted State, and
putting tue brakes on the thieving white
and eolored politicians. Chamberlain
made an apparently honest effort to kick
the rogues Oat, but they were too strong
for him. and he has now made peace
with Senator Patterson. who has
agreed to work to secure Chamberlain's
reelection this fall, with further assist
ance to put him in the United States SEN
ate at the expiration Of Robertsons term
next March. This arrangement. how
ever, does not suit, Congressman Elliot
(colored) having aspirations for Robert.
sons senatorship, and there will doubt.
less be another split among the coIored
brethren, large number OF whom favor
Elliott. AL the Northern Radical nanars
which have been abusing Chamberlain as
renegade Republican and traitor,
because he tried to stop the stealing in
South Carolina, will now, of course,
sound his praises. The moment q Re-
publican official talks reform he is nut
under the ban. The facts warrant this
assertion"

OF Grants appointees, thus: George 2.
Fisher was District Attorney at WASH
ington by appointment of President
Grant. His assistant was Dick Harring-
ton, Of safe burglary notoriety, and now
fugitive from justice. Another assist
ant was Fishers son Charles. They are
a precious trio of scamps. Both the
Fishers were kicked out OF Office through
the influence of Bristow and Pierrepont :;
but few days since the President. always
true to his chums, nominated the elder
Fisher as United States attorney for the
District of Delaware, in which State he

Reform is necessary in the civil service.
Experience proves that efficient econom-
zeal conduct Of the government is not
possible If its civil service be subject
to change at every election, be a prize
fought for at the balllot-bOX, be an APP
proved reward Of party zeal instead OF
posts OF honor assigned for approved
competency and held for fidelity in the
public employ; that the dispensing of pat
rOnage should neither be q tax upon the
time OF our public men nor an instrument
OF their ambition. Here, again, profess
ions faisiiied in the performance attest
that the party in power can work out
no practical or Statutory reform. Reform
is necessary, even more in the higher
grades OF public service. President,
