The Wonderful Changes Wrought Du-
ring Capt. Burton's Absence at Sea. ]
From ne Pssedelpaia Times. .y !;
Capt. John Burton, master of one esof
the steamers Of the Occidental line, ply1
ing between this city and Havana,
arrived yesterday from round trip of
ten days duration. The Captain is an
ardent Republican. When he left home
his mind was oppressed with gloom.
The Electoral Commission had concluded
its labors, but it seemed the settled pur7
pose of thes Democrats in the House to
obstruct the progress of the count to snch
an extent that it would be impossible to
have peaceful inauguration, while
many were inclined to think there would
be q. new election. Capt. Burton was,
therefore, relieved, on landing, Ito learn
that the inauguration had taken place.
BE went to his favorite resort, tho Union
League Club, to learn the particulars.
There he met his old friend, Col. Snow
: drift, who always knows the news.
aGlad to see you, John," said the Col
'oneI, "and Isknow you are rejoiced to-
hear that the country is safe. I wasjnst
reading a good thing in the Bulletin, Civ
ing Blaine a sharp rap. BY the way,
what an ass he has made Of himself"
siThe Bulletin 4. Ass +? Blaine ?" replied
Burton. "Surely the Bulletin has not
gone over to the Democrats p ,t,.ss,
"Oh, no; but Blaine's course, you
know, has been. too outrageous for any
thing. The idea of his.antagonizing the
Administration at the very start"
Blaine antagonizing the Administra-
ton n ssfs33S \ - y o,fi So &
Yes, as the Bulletin says"
When the public business of this ma.
ton is intrusted to men of proved fitness,
who shall remain in place to do the work
to which they are trained, it is possible
that,the elective Offices will be filed gen.
orally by.men who have some other claim
to them than their capacity for making
promises to the, mob of place-hunter,
and of being ..hail fellow well met" with
every ragamuffn who has longing thirst
to taste Of the stream that flows from the
public treasury. i
81 wonder how the Camerons will take
THAT sort of talk? ?" q
Capt. Burton stared at his friend in
amasement. Was it possible that Snow
drift had turned reformer? No, it could
not be; this was guy. He snatched
the paper in his friends hand. Yes, it
was the Bulletin, and the words read were
correct quoted. But why this fling at
the Camerons?
.ssI am glad to see," continued Snow
drift, "that old Simon has been beaten at
least. But the checklist thing he has
ever done is this attempt to put Don in
the Senate" +
'aDon in the Senate! Then Wallace is
dead? You don't mean it ?"
Nothing of the kind but of course
the old man wasn't going to stay in the
Senate after Schurz and Key had been
crammed down his threat"
vi beg you TO explain 3I{FsIS3
eWhy, don't you know that Schurz
and Key were appointed to Cabinet
places ?" 81 -; ~.
tsSchurz and Key Who is Keyf"
= ssWhy, the ex-rebel General, you know; /;
the one who was . Democratic Senator
from Tennessee. he was great Hlden
man, and, of course, it was right to give
him show"
Capt. Burton was again agitated. "Is
it possible that ] have been misintormed2
Did Tlden get in after all 2" p-.,
gWby, no, you stupid fellow. But
Cancellation is the watchword under the
new regime. AS the National Republican
remarks, the adventurers must withdraw
and leave the original inhabitants of the
South to control their own affairs in their
own way;;' and as the same able paper
says in another place, the CORY garment
must be buried"
sYou puzzle me beyond measure, Col.
onel. I never expected to hear this sort
of talk from you.'
st don'tsee anything astonishing about
it. The President is in earnest, and.
with Sherman and Schurz in the Cabinet
Matthews and Lamar in the Senate, and
Garfield and Gibson in the House, the
bloody shirt will never flap in the morn
ing breeze again"
HWho is Matthews and who is Glib
son9"
"Gibson is one of the best Of our ex-
Confederates. He is from Louisiana ).
noble fellow! Matthews? Don't you
remember Stanley Matthews? He is
going, to the Senate in place Of Sherman.
Garfield is needed d ii the House, as the
President says, to aid in the work of
pacifcation.i a few weeks more and
Packard, Chamberlain, and all the rest of,
the carpeebaggers will be packing their
traps:
them oyerboardP 80 iae4
tOf course, old boys of course; gov
ernment that cannot sustain itself has no
right D exist. The Secretary Of War
and Attorney General will attend to the
carpet -baggers, never fear" =
'Now, Colonel, You are cssrYing this
quiz too far. I was half inclined to be-
lieye you, but when you'say that Came
ron and Taft have gone back on Packard
and Chamberlain, You must take merfor

they're not in the new Administration:
