BosToN, Dec. 9o.-Geo b. Bglow. a prominent
lawyer of this city was arrested on Saturday
afternoon on II warrant charging him with the
embezzement of $4,000 held by him in trust.
Mr. Bglow has been for several years the

care.
Finally the heirs Of the estate, through their
attorney. determined to prosecute him. The
arrest was effected at Biglows office in quiet
manner. no one about the premises knowing
what WIS going on, and very soon after the ar
rival of Biglow at the police Office he was ad-
mited to bail in the sum Of 10000 for his ap-
pear pnsI ahce N coutt TO- morrow ihoIning. IT..
this prosecution Ia purely malicious and that
the hearing will bring to light facts which will
leave no doubt that such Il the case. Mr.. Big
lows family are now in Europe.

The General demanded the report OF the

serned the gentlemen of Boston.
At the conclusion of Con. Buffers speech he
was warmly applauded.
Gen. Banks then delivered q speech. without
special point, in his most impressive style.
Speaking of the administration he said that
knowing the record OF President Hayes in tho
past and what he has done for the defense OF
the country he could not believe that he would
surrender the power of the government into
the hands of men who had fought to destroy it.
On the silver question Gen. Banks said he
had always been in favor of recognizing silver
rs one OF the coin metals. but he was not in
j favor OF the Bland bill, supporting only that
scheme which makes tbe silver dollar equal in
weight and proportion to othe gold dollar.

II is the common assertion of the opponents
OF reform, that reformers are mainly either
sef-seeking demagogues who have raised the
cry of reform in order to drive out old incum-
bnnts, and whose zeal for reform will expire
upon the accomplish of this result or vis-
ionnrios and theorists incapable of dealing
with questions OF pl lactical administration. It
would be q matter OF regret II the experience OF
the present administra'ion should be such as to
lief
For these reasons the failure Of Mr.. Hayes to
redeem his promises to reform the civil service
would be peculiarly unfortunate. 1t would be
more injurious indeed, to the cause of reform
than If a pronounced anti reform administra~
tion were IN power. In the latter case the
hiity but If the President, whom they have
helped to nominate aud elect, on whose devo.

If the President will at once adopt a vigorous
and well dgested policy Of reform he will re-
store the waning confidence of those who have
been his truest friends and who are stu most
