roads and toll bridges in the

are kept in such repair as is re-
quired by law, and they shall
report quarterly 10 the County

port shall be spread upon the
minutes Of the court at the cost

Our Washington Letter

-
litical experience, and under or
binary circumstances with a
President OF ability and q Cab
met made up of able men, it is
certain that his control would
be confined to his own Depart
ment. But We have a Presi-
dent whose title 10 Office de-
ponds upon a legal technicality,
and Mr.. Evarts is in some re-
spects the ablest lawyer in A
merica, and formulated the pro-
Icess by which Hayes became
President; and that accounts
for his influence with Hayes.
Looking at the Cabinet we see
no man likely 10 dispute with
Evarts for the precedence, if
Evarts seeks 1t. Dcvens was
a Judge and already regrets
that he left the bench. McCra-
ry is a man who has no hold
upOn the country, and is little
known and less cared for out
Of his own State and section.
Schurz is an impractical man,
not liked by anybody, and
whose loss would not be felt if
he should retire. Sherman is
unqnestionably trying to make
a reputation by running his De-
partment economically and ac-
ceptably, and will not NEEDLE
with politics during his term of
Office. He wishes to stand
high as a Secretary Of the
Treasury. He thinks he is a
great financier, and will try TO
prove it. Thompson and Key
have no political ambition. So
that, if Mr. Evarts desires, as
is indicated, to be the Admin
istration, there seems to be no
reason why he should not be.
His right there is none to dis
pute.
! But his difficulties in the par
Ity, outside of the President and
his immediate admirers, are
great. We shall see if he is
equal to them. In every clock
sellers shop is one superior in
strument by which all the 9TH
ers are regulated, from the fus-
lsy and fantastic four shilling
brass clocks that whirr and buzz
and chatter on the dusty shelves
to the exquisite watch that is
hidden in silk and velvet be-
hind the doors of the safe.
When Mr.. Evarts, if indeed he
is to be regulator comes to
deal with one of the former
class-Blaine of Maine, for III
stance-hc will make short
work of him. Blaine is likely,
if kept in the shop, to strike at
unreasonable times; like Nor
ton ard Conkling and Chan
dler and the others, he is ten
years behind time; unlike them,
he has in him no we'll arranged
machinery which will allow him
to go right when set right; and
there are many--yery many--like
him. Mr.. Evarts may expect
to keep bis subordinates in or
der, but l anticipate a riotous
discord that will, as Holmes has
it, "split the ears of time"
Chamberlain's retirement with
the cordial consent OF all, settles
one of the perplexing questions
of the day. 1t virtually takes
the Federal troops from the South,
and in such a way that their re.
appearance there, for the purpose
of interfering in the domestic at.
fairs of any State, is as improba.
bic as that they will enter Ohio
for the like purpose. The war
which commenced in April, 1861,
ended on the 10th of April, 1877.
Let us make haste to forget the
struggle, and to bury those poll.
ticians who have no other stock
in trade but the bitter memories
of it. II any man hauls a Fed
eral soldier into State pelitics here.

are of interest They serve to dis
sipato n good many untounded not

from those taken in examining men
for the army. Toward the close OF
the war, when the average age OF
soldiers was the highest, there were
examined 10, l62 men, 454 English

A BIG HEARTED MAN

One Of those toilcd.hardencd true
hearted chaps, often read Of in rom,

Campus Martins yesterday, and his
sympathies were at once aroused by
the sight ofthree or four old men
standing around with their buck
saws and waiting for work.
"llI be hanged # it ism tough. "
he replied, when they told him that
they haden't had any work for Il
month. "IIow would you like
some oystcrs?'
They smacked their lips by way
OF reply, and they gathered up a
crowd Of eight, marched them to a
restaurant and ordered oyster stows
for each one.
sit just does my soul good to see
them eat!' he said to tho owner of
the place as the eight got to work.

the reply.

"You are a good man, and Heaven

prletor, us he filed the dishes up

The stranger said he wanted to
bring in just five more, so as to say
that he had fed an even score, and
he rushed out after them, while the
restauranter sent after more oysters
and crackers. The stranger didn't
return. He was last seen climbing
