HAYES AFTER CoNKLNG--Late news
from Washington says that Hayes has de-
termined to remove the heads OF the Gus
tom-house, naval Office and port survey
or's Office, in New York city. The in
cumbents are friends Of Senator Conkhng,
of the empire State. These removals are
doubtless intended as the penalty of his
apathetic course toward the administra-
ton, and his marked and dignihed disdain
of Evarts and Schurz, personally as well
as officially. The proud and unbending
Senator scons the secretary Of the inte-
Tor, and views the secretary Of state with
that naughty dislike which is as near de-
testatiOn as can find place In his lofty ma
ture. He is by no means chary. although
reserved, in his manifestations of cool
indifference toward Hayes himself, and
has never allowed the shadow Of his COM
manding form to forecast his presence at
the presidential mansion since the de tacto
possessor has darkened its doors. Just
before his recent visit to England he took
a trip to Washington, and while there
never called upon or saw Hayes. He
procured his passport for Europe without
personally going to the state department,
or meeting the gaunt, gray secretary of
prolix dispatches and rounded periods
He coolly and almost Extensively cut these
two high dignitaries, and the world then
knew that he andthe administration were
{" at OUTS" and the breach, so far as the
grave Senator was concerned, was not to
be bridged or healed.

A GUILTY CONscIENCE--Joe Bradley,
the man who dishonors seat on the su-
preme bench of the United States, and
wears the brand of infamy for his ruling
in favor of Hayes, on the electoral COM
mission, writhes and suffers because of
the exposure of his perfdy and duplicity
as the determining commissioner. The
New York Sun has fearlessly asserted
that. the evening before he pronounced
his decision in favor of Hayes, Bradley
communicated to the venerable Justice
Clifford and to Justice Field, of the su-
preme court, his profound conviction that
Tilden was honestly and lawfully elected.
This statement has not been denied, ex-
cept by Bradley himself, who has forfeit
ed his entitlement to belief or respect,
and it is no doubt true. But Bradley's
home organ, New jersey paper, furi-
ollsly rushes to his defence. 1t is partic-
ularly severe upon Justice Field, and
lashes away like an enraged bull-whacker
at everybody in view not friendly to its
aliunde favorite. The article undoubted-
ly reflects Bradley's sentiments on the
subject, and hence its rage and vitupera-
ton are to be viewed as the ebuiitions of
the agony of mind and stingings of con
science he suffers in the inconsolable re-
fection that he is guilty as charged. The
full facts in the case will be set forth in
due time, We opine, and they cannot be
spread before the public any too soon.

J. RUSSELL JONES, Collector of Gus
toms of the port of Chicago, received
news by telegraph, on the 4th instant
but had no official notification of the fact
that Mr.. William Henry Smith had
been appointed to succeed him, because
of his violation of the presidential order
forbidding government officers to take an
active part in politics. Mr.. Jones ex-
pressed his determination not to resign
the Office, and did not see why he should
be displaced before his tenn had expired
He justities his action by referring to Mr..
Hayes letter of acceptance, in (which he
declared his intention Of following out the
principle laid down by the founders Of the
government, that public officers should be
secured in their tenure as long as their
personal character remained untarnished
and the performance of their duties was
satisfactory MIR. Jones feels warranted
in assuming that no charges of official de-
linquency or wrong doing have been made
against him, and says the records of the
treasury department will show that in less
than two Years. under his administration,
sS7 600 have been saved to the govern
ment.

THE MORMON PREsIDENCY.-The cir
cular issued by the Mormon Apostle"
is apparently intended to indicate a mere
ly temporary arrangement of the Presi-
dental succession. The choice of John
Taylor as the head of the church is not
made, as we understand it, in the sense
that he is to fill the place of Brigham
Young. The intention rather seems to
be to put the hierarchical government in
commission, and thus allow sufficient time
to elapse before Youngs successor is ap-
pointed. This is in accordance with the
usage adopted upon the death of Joseph
Smith, and it is the more reasonable since
John Taylor is in no respect fitted for the
leadership of the church. In the first
place he is an old man, and not particu-
larly strong He dates from the Nauvoo
time of Mormonism. He has never been
distinguished for nything but fanaticism,
though he has amassed more wealth than
any other of the apostles. He ranks third
in the list of the twelve, and represents
polygamy, having seven wives. Unless
fully controlled by his associate counsel
ors he is quite likely to get the church
into difficulties, for he believes in Nor
monism with all the fervor of weak
mind, and would not hesitate to invite
martyrdom. 1t remains to be seen how
the Mormon masses will receive the new
dispensation, but the strong probability
is that they will be perfectly acqu;escent

they are published, children cry for them

A HORSE SrORY-The Salem Mercury has
learned of circumstance which goes far to-
wards substantiating the theory that animals
are possessed of reason as well as human be-
ings. Mr.. Laf. Frizzelle, living near Perry
dale. Polk county, is the owner of horse,
which being left in the barn lot for day or
two without being watered, finally went to
the pump-an eld-fashioned wooden one
took hold of the handle with his teeth and
pumped water into the watering trough suf-
fcient to satisfy his thirst It is related to
us by an eye witness that this horse will 60
every day, if he is not watered by his mas
ter, and repeat the same proceeding. Fre-
quently he is troubled by the other ANIMALS
in the lot, who come ior water also, and if
he cannot drive them off he continues pump
ing until their and his own wants are salts
fed This operation has been going on for
week or two, until the pump handle is
badly SCARED and worn from the effects of
the horses teeth upon it while performing
the act of pumping water.

INCORRECTLY REpoRrED.- was
either misunderstood or misrepresented
IN regard to the conduct of Governor
Wade Hampton of South Carolina 1t was
SAID the president regarded the prosecu-
ton OF certain republican ex-oficials of
that state as a breach of faith ON the part
OF the governor This is denied by the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribtsie. 1t was never understood
that men should be shielded from punish
ment who had committed crime, and all
the indictments found against these alleg-
ed delinquents charge felony. What the
president did require Mr.. Hampton to
promise was, that there should be no pros
ecutions against republicans for political
offences, and in this respect the governor
has kept his word.

GUla HOME TO VOrE The Inter
Ocean Washington correspondent asked
Secretary Sherman what answer he would
give to an Ohio man who should ask leave
Of absence to go home from their Wash
ingten work to vote in Ohio. He said he
should 60 home himself, as is his privilege
and duty, and would allow all others
whose work could be left without public
detriment to do the same, but their fur
Tough would be four or FIVE days instead
2f the usual ten days. The cabinet las
decided this question for all the depart

RUsSIA's PRESTIGE. Whatever may be
the effect of recent Russian reyerses on
the pending war with Turkey, it is clear
that they will greatly impair Russia's
prestige and Influence, unless these can be
saved or re-estabhshed by speedy and de-
cisive triumphs. Since the reign of Peter
the Great no other power of the European
continent has suffered 80 few defeats or
could boast OF SO many successes as Rus
sia In modern times Russia had thrice
been invaded The result of the Swedish
invasion was that Sweden ceased to be
one of the great powers Of Europe and
had to cede several of her Baltic provin-
ces to the Muscovite Empire The French
invasion under Napoleon l. ended in the
triumphant entry of Alexander L into
Paris, whereby Z" the desolation was made
desolate, the conqueror overthrown. The
third invasion, or the Crimean war, did
not greatly shake the power of Russia,
which succeeded in freeing itself from
the most onerous provisions of the treaty
of peace long before the outbreak of the
present war. During the last hundred
years Russia has, at different times, ap-
peared to be superior in strength to each
of the other great continental nations
She defeated the armies of the first French
Republic and the first Empire. At one
| time Prussia, in name her ally, was prac-
tically considered her vassal. Her great
military establishment, the despotic pow
er of the Car, and the fact that her al
lance was sought after by all the other
nations contributed to the impression that
she was really the most formidable mill
tary power III Europe. This prestige has
greatly suffered from her recent reverses,
and the circumstance may have important
effects upon European politics. France
will feel less inclined to rely upon fu-
ture alliance with Russia in struggle
with Germany The Russophohists will
lose much of their standing in England.
Russian influence with the Sciavic popu.
lations will also be diminished to some
extent, and Russia herself will be COM
PEELED to greater moderation in the pur.
suance of her European policy.

JUDGE WEST, the radical candidate for
governor of Ohio, in his speech of ac-
ceptauce, among other things said: 81
am no railroad official, and never will be /;
never owned any railroad stock or bonds,
and never will own any" But it now
transpires that for years Judge West has
been an attorney of the Cleveland, Co.
lumbus, Cincinnati & indianapolis Rail
road, and that in all contests between the
Company and crippled brakemen, or peo-
pie who had claims against it for stock
killed OF property lost, he was up to the
hour of his nomination for governor of
Ohio, one of the closest, hardest sticklers
for the strict letter of the law to be found
in any county through which the rail
roads mentioned ran.

THE WAR SPIRIT IN RUssIA.-The war
spirit is represented 10 be at fever heat in
Russia. The reverses of the army in Ar
menia and the defeat at Pleyna have both
humilisted and angered the people, wha
demand more vigorous prosecution of
the war, and scout at the proposition of
peace SO long as it is within the power of
the government to put squadron in the
field. 1t is asserted by the correspondent
Of an Eastern paper writing from Moscow,
that if the Emperor consented to peace
at this time, he would only enter that city
at the point of the bayonet- To talk Of
Intervention while this feeling exists is
mere waste of words.

DANISH HIM FROM THE BENCH. There
lsa growing public opinion in favor of Con-
gress demanding the resignation of Justice
Joe bradley, and if he does not resign to
have him impeached. There is but very
little question that he is corrupt judge.
de was placed on the bench from a very
improper motive, in order to pack it to
obtain majority for certain decision.
de has always had attached to him a
strong suspicion of venality, he has dis
graced the nation by his dishonest action
IN lavor OF Hayes, and decency requires
that he should be banished from seat in
tribunal upon which he has brought
lasting shame.

DErIoRABLE- is deplorable fact
that last year in the state of Maine, where
Blaine, the moral censor, holds forth, there
was a gain of 10 per cent in the number
Of, state prison ccnyicts, and the legisla-
ture bad to appropriate SIS 900 to enlarge
tie penitentiary to accommodate the in
creasing number Of criminals. The rad
nals Of that state devote themselves ex-
clusively to the passage Of liquor laws, of
which forty have been passed in the last

The YAQUINA RAILRoAD.-The ALBANY
Democrat has this in reference to the above
road "W: 7. Webber, the engineer and
superintendent Of construction on this
road, called on US last Saturday, and re-
ports that the work is being prosecuted
as fast as possible The grading has been
completed to point one mile beyond the
village of Philomath, and the road bed
has been located several miles beyond that
point. Webber has a good working force
on now, but as soon at harvest is over he
thinks they will have all the hands thew
can work The managers have been cor
responding with some eastern firms and
have fair prospect of getting the iron
and rolling stock for the first ten miles

The vote cast in San Francisco on fhe
9th inst. fell some 5000 short of that cast
at the presidential election. This is not
the result of that city depopulating by any
means, but was caused by the more effec-
tive precautions taken against fraudulent
registration and repeating at the ballot
box. Last year there were thousands of
fraudulent votes cast in San Francisco,
and that city then gave large republican
majority. This year the election was a
fair and honest expression of the peoples
wishes, and the result is, democratic
victory. If our radical friends can reap
any consolation from the natural infer
ence thrown out by these facts, they are
perfectly welcome to enjoy it.

AFTER THE THIEVES. 1t is not lack of
executive ability that is the matter with
Carl Schurz He is in full pursuit of the
frauds in his department.. There are mil
lions of those frauds. We suppose there
must be 4G newspapers under the influence
of the thieves interested in the various
frauds in the department of the interior.
The bosoms of multitude were torn by
the news that Schurz was going into the
cabinet. 1t was dreadful to think of and
a nightmare to dream of Schurz in the de-
partments of the interior. 1t was foreseen
that Schurz would hunt down the thieves.
He has been making investigations, with
out telling the thieves what he was about
He has not gwen them the opportunity
that they were accustomedto to enjoy, to vim
dicate themselves by the intimidation of
witnesses. However, they will be noisy
They will prove their patriotism, and con-
tend that patriot is entitled to nerqui-
sites. They will whine and buster ac-
cording to the atmospheric influences. 1t
is terrible thing to try and stop the tor
rent of thievery.

FoUE MILLIONS OF IDLE HANps.-Nine-
ty per cent of our people can, with the
machinery We Americans use, produce all
that the whole people can consume. That
means that thirty-six millions can pro-
duee all that forty millions can use, and
that, unless We re-establish our foreign
commerce, four millions at least must re-.
nam idle, and are condemned to bep,arv
or starvation. If the workinsmen Of the
country were wise, instead of strikino
and suffering they would unite to send
MP 70 Congress monster petitions for the
repeal OF restrictive laws on foreign com.
mercs. This is not a question of free
trade or protection, or of radical or dem.
ocratic politics, it is a question of bread
and butter, of clothing, of comfortable
homes, of work and wages, or of oontin-
nous poverty and starvation.

fensive movements will be resorted to to
