For sale-A Government.

Had Gov. Wells been little more open
in his traffic and publicly proposed to sell
the franchises Of the people to the highest
bidder, with the additional proviso added
that the sale would be confirmed by Gen
erals Grant and Sherman, through the aid
of U. S. troops now in Washington, he
might have got higher bid. And if the
Presidency is to pass into hands that did
not receive the majority either OF the
electoral or popular vote, such sale would
be Just as constitutional if not quite as
lawful.
The wealthy Roman whom we are told
in history purchased the Empire, did a
far more honorable thing than has been
done by the proposed secret sale and
transfer of the government of the United
States against the majority Of the votes OF
the people, and contrary to the expressed
provisions of the Constitution, by the
majority of the Electoral Commission.
The Presidency is regarded as valua-
BILE prize. The eight men who have as.
sumed to give it to Hayes might have had
some claim to patriotism if they had de.
termined to sell it for the millions it is
worth and turned the proceeds toward.
the payment of the national debt. Old
Wells did not 60 about the streets of New
Orleans with the words ga government
for sale" labelled on his back, but he held
it for sale about the usual time an auc
tioneer gives notwithstanding; and so fal
as we know Grant was to confirm the bar
gain with the U. S. forces to either party
since he did boast that he would "inau
gurate his successor" Eighteen hundre,
years hence, who can doubt that tn,
school books will tell how the Unite,
States was sold out in 1877, including tn,
4o,ooo,o0o of people, for million of dol
lars by one Gov. Wells, or perhaps giyer

HAYEs's majority in the Pacific States,
including Colorado, was 1851, and by this
narrow margin he received fourteen I'M
disputed electoral votes. The vote of
ineligible Postmaster Watts. the fifteenth
man,will now be made all right by Joe
Bradley. 1t is pretty well established
that in the city of San Francisco alone
5000 or 1000 fraudulent votes were cast
more than enough to make up the
whole Of Hsyes's majority, in the Pacific
States. His majority in California was
only $500. His majories in the three re-
maing States were nearly enough of the
same size to have been turned out of
some machine; in Colorado it was ,O35
in Nevada it was 1,0s9, and in Oregon i,
was 1,057. Eeach Of these three States
has population enough to entitle it to
barely one member in the House of Rep
resentatives, and of course each of then
has two Senators and three electora
votes. Their representation in tn,
Electoral College was out of allproportio1
to their population. Truly Hayes canno
point with pride to the Pacific Coast a
one ofhis strongholds.-N. Y. Sun.

his majority over all three of his com

But in considering these figures we
must also remember that Hayes received
100000 votes from the negroes formerly

intends to enter Constantinople to
make the Turks feel that they are
crushed. although he does not intend
to retain the city. There is a firm be.

Athens reviewing the attitude OF

Greeks IL now pretty clearly defined.
While things remain in the present
uncertainty, they will observe an ex-
pectant attitu ie and prepare. Should
Russia advance rapidly, they will de-
clare war against Turkey, in order to
create a Greek question:, and show
practically by a rising Of their race
what il slave and what Is Greek.

Should the Turkish feet be destroyed
or eve engage elsewhere, SO that the
Greeks are relieved from fear of bonn
bardment of the sea board, their anti.
Turkish sympathies would predOmin-
ate even to the length of rebelling, il
the Government refused to declare
war. Should England become in any
way involved in war, Greeks would
seek an English alliance on terms
which will not oblige them 10 fight
with the Turks against the Christians.
AS a recompense they will ask only
that no port of Helias shall be given

about 33 5000 Albania Boshi Bazourk.
They received orders on Tuesday to
advance in force along the Moralta val
ley to attempt the capture of Danilo-
zerad. Turkish officials in Albina are
very respondent. Many express the
belief that the days of the Empire are

THE CONSULATE SERVICE.

Secretary of State Evarts, it is said,
proposes to begin at once the over
hauling and reorganization of the con-
sular service. He proposes to avoid
the removal of competent and efficient
officers, but will strive to weed out
those untitled for the positions they
hold. Three important principles
have already been determined upon
by the Secretary Of State to govern
him in a reformation OF the consular
service. They are as follows: First,
it will be his aim to fill all the i'm
portant commercial consulates by the
appointment of men of commercial ex-
perience; second, In selecting consuls
for Oriental ports, where judicial du-
ties have to be performed, none except
educated lawyers will be appointed;
third, one of the essential qualifica-
tons required OF all consuls will be
that they shall be able to speak the
language of the country in which they
are stationed. If the reform in the
consular service went no further than
to bring its personnel strictly under
these three rules, its efficiency would
be very greatly increased; but in ad-
dition to this the Secretary Of State
will strive to apply those general prin
ciples of civil service reform which
are to be recognized in all depart
ments Of the Government.

THE Washington Star says Miss
Chisolm, the daughter of Judge CHS.
holm, who has died in consequence of
wounds received in the massacre at De
Kalb, Kemper county, Mississippi,
that she was "a bright cultured girl Of
eighteen" who sis pleasantly remem-
bered by many who made her ac-
q~uaintance in Washington last winter"
1t must be a magnificent state Of So
ciety in which a girl on the verge Of
womanhood can be shot down by ruff
fans. The Kemper county people
must be exceptions to the rule that no
man or set of men can be so hardened
that alltheir worst instincts will not fail
them in the presence of a pure woman.
The murder Of Miss Chisholm was a
crime that to men of anything like de-
cent or honorable instincts is simply
juexplicable.
