A GREAT MAN Too.-Col. Nevin, of
Pittsburgh, is the editor and publisher
of the Sunday Leader, in that city, and
q Presbyterian Of the strictest kind.
Recently his Pastor overhauled him
for publishing Sunday newspaper, or
paper printed on Saturday and only
circulated on Sunday, while the Pastor
reads the Gazette with delight, which
is printed on Sunday and circulated on
Monday morning; but threatens to
turn the Colonel out of church because
he keeps his press quiet on Sunday
This case was before the General As.
sembly at Chicago, last week, and set
tied against the Colonel. He must
either quit the Sunday newspaper OIL
the Church. DR., Bittinger defended
the Colonel in an able manner and
made the square point on DR.. McKin,
ncy, wholed the attacking party, wha,
they were going to do with the brother
who owned stock in passenger rail
roads and ferries which made more
money for them on Sunday than on
any other day OF the week. DR.. Nc.
Kinney made the thin reply that al
they did not own controlling amount
of stock 1t was all right" Well, well,
II the Doctor and his hackers car
wrigglc out of sacred issue as easily
as that there is no use of being an
orthodox in anything hereafter.

MgxIco's PROTEST. - WASHINGTON,
June S.-The memorandum of Mr..
Mariseal, the Mexican Minister, sub
mitted to Secretary Evarts yesterday.
is in the nature OF protest against
the recent action OF the Cabinet, in
structing the military commander of
the Southwest to pursue marauders
into Mexican territory. He expresses
the hope that no act similar to that
will hereafter be committed, and that
if any measures shall be deemed nee.
essary in order to remedy evils on the
frontier which it may be necessary to
carry out on Mexican soil, such meas.
ures will be adopted and carried out
by both governments jointly, since an
incursion of foreign troops into the
territory of Mexico, besides being at
variance with the principles which
govern nations in time of peace, may
in his country bring the administra.
tion into very serious conflicts and
materially disturb the peace of the
Republic. This last consideration
would, he says, probably be sufficient
for friendly government, for it will
not wish to run the risk Of causing such
terrible evils to its ncighbor when il
relies upon the good will of the latter
to secure the just ends which it seeks
to attain" The Mexican officials seem
to possess more true craftsmanship,
and manifest less of the freebooter than
those Of our own household.

There were sixty applicants tor th,
three positions created by the act
The manner in which the Board con
Quoted the examination was impartia
and satisfactory. Fifty.fve questions
were prepared by them and published
and given to the candidates, who were
required TO answer in writing. Alter
so much had been accomplished th,
Board examined each paper and ques
tion separately, and the work was con
cluded last evening. All that now
remains for the Board to do is to sub
nit the names OF those who passed I
creditable examination to Governor
Hartranft, who will appoint tbre,
thereof 10 the responsible positions
Out Of the sixty applicants examined
fifteen passed creditable examination
OF these fourteen are miners and pi
bosses. The remaining one is a min
ing engineer. The Board also laid ou
the three districts as follows;
The First District comprises tn,
counties of Greene, Washington, Fay
ette, Somerset, Bedford, WestmorclanC
and that portion of Allegheny county
lying south of the Ohio and ALE

finding of the Board. Who the In
spector will be for our district we hav,
not learned.

ONLY OsE.-George s. Boutwell,, Of
Massachusetts,, alone, Of all the numer.
GUS orators chosen TO deliver addresses
on Decoration Day, was mean enough
to violate every rule of propriety on
that day. While Union soldiers and
ex.confcderates were decorating the
countrys dead in common, and while
two prominent OK confederates were
speaking under the auspicics Of Union
soldiers, ex-senator and ex.Secretary
Boutwell, was trying to "fre the
northern heart" at Barnstable, Massa
chusctts. He chose the occasion Of
Decoration Day to vindicato the policy
Of hate, give life to bitterness and drive
a little trade in politics for himself
There Is no word in tho language Ia
fully express tho degraded mcanncss
Of n man who seeks 10 make party
profit out of dead mems bones. Bout
well is not the whole North; he is only
one of class Of very low-priced Radi
cal politicians.

YAaABoNDs.-The Phira Press, in
alluding TO tramps, says; "rhc tramp
nuisance in the country districts is be-
coming great nuisance. The high
roads are infested with rowing vaga-
bonds begging from door to door,
sleeping in outhouses and barns, pifer-
ing, committing burglaries, and often
murder insulting females, and render
ing isolated farm.houses and dwellings
dangerous by both day and night. II
this nuisance continues to grow in the
same proportions as of late, it will be
necessary to have mounted police on
the most irequcntcd country roads
The murder near Norristown was no
doubt perpetrated by tramps. One Of
them has been arrested 1t is to be
hoped he will soon be made to pay the
forfeit Of his crime. The country au-
thorities should devise some plan for
the suppression of vagabondagc."

A FLAT CONTRADICTION. Mr. Hayes
in letter lately published, talks glibly
of his swish that all appointments
should be tree from partisan control
and that party leaders should have nc
more influence in appointments than
other equally responsible citizens,
but it don't tally with his own action
when he intcrfercd in the case Of Gar
field and seduced him to withdraw
from the Senatorial contest in Ohio
with the assurance that he, Hayes
would use his inhuence--tho influence
of his office, of coursc--to elect him
Speaker of the House. This is di
rect interference with another branch
of the government, and shows that
Hayes, now that he has succeeded tC
the Presidential chair through fraud
seeks to swindlc the country still fur
ther by placing one of his satellites il

They will be allowed to toll in peace

there is an Executive who will arrest

"A NATION OF SMUGGLERS.


That is what Mr.. jackson s. Shultz
called this country at o meeting held
in New York the other day to consider
the abuses and iniquities of the pres
ent tariff system. Mr.. Shultz says
that ladies moving in the highest so.
ciety smuggled gold watches, lace and
jewclry in their old shoes. Four mem.
bers Of Congress come over in the
same vessel with him from Europe
each bringing dutiable goods but nc;.
thcr paying any duties. A detective
traced camcl's hair shawl to a lady
whose husband was a United States
Judge who had to decide smuggling
cases. The abuses which Mr.. Schultz
thus describes while showing that
smuggling is no longer regarded as
wrong are petty enough compared with
the frauds that are practiccd on the
revenue. A year or two ago the fraud
in silks and laccs were carried on 10
such an extent under the very nose
Of the collector OF customs in New York
that honest importers who paid the
duties were compelled 10 sell their goods
at a loss. Dealers in this class of goods
instead of making purchases Of the
regular importers, went direct to the
agents Of the smugglcrs. :
Smuggling again has become an
honest calling in this country. Mr.
Schultz mentions tho reputable people
engaged in II. Members of Congress
who make protective tariff laws do not
hesitate TO violate them when occasion
serves. But these are mere amateurs
in the art Of smuggling. What they
abstractcd from the revenues OF the
country is mere triAc with the sys
tcmatic frauds and robbcrics. Mr.
Schultz has attacked only the sklrm.

THE EASTERN WAR.


The two great hostile armies on the
Danube still face each other, and are
making exhaustive preparations for
the pending conflict, The moment
the Russians attempt TO cross the river,
then the banks will be crimsoned with
blood.
The situation of the Russian army
at the present time is not unlike that
of the Federal troops in this country
in 1861, when the zcalots' cry of "On
TO Richmond !" broke the monotony
and fastened the disaster OF Bull Run
and what the mud of Virginia was to
General McClellans army after that
battle the swollen waters of the Dan.
ube are now TO the forces Of the Gar.
Pontoon bridges over wide and
rapid river, like the Danube, are moi
of much avail. But the Gar is unwill
ing to allow any dictation on the part
of newspapers, or any other outsiders
and is moving his army to suit himself
We have no news of importance
either from the banks of the Danube
or the plains of Asia Minor. Until th,
former is crossed, no serious fighting
will occur on either Continent o.
course, enterprising newspaper CORES
pondents on both sides are in the habit
of magnifying picket skirmishes into
drawn battles to suit the tastes of theil
readers.
The most reliable accounts we have
from the scat OF war is that no real
battle will occur for fortnight, meth
er party being fully ready for the con
hict This may be long time fol
those who delight in the details OF
Wholesale murder but il is short
enough for the poor wretches who are
TO be killed, and for the widows and
orphans--made such by the fate oi
"glorious war" declared by the one
side in the name of religion (?) and
accepted by the other side as the only
means left to defend their iresides
families, and the integrity of their En-.
pire; while in fact, it is only a scheme
gotten up by demagogues, full of am
btion, and ready to plunder, rob and
murder their neighbors for the mere
qualification of base human nature.
The very latest is to the effect that
both armies are engaged in secre
(wonderful } movements in Europe
and are making "bold advances" il
Asia. Now, what will happen no on'
