A SPI1r.-Some extremely sanguIne
radicals think that Hampton will spilt the
democratic party in South Carolina and
then be run on the radical ticket for gov
ernor next time 1t is pity to dash such
a hone as this, for it is too plainly born
of the desperation of despair but when

WOMEN IN THE CIVIL SERvIcE.-It
seem, mir. Secretary Schurz has started
in reforming his branch of the civil service
by discharging women clerks Out of one
batch of twenty, nineteen were women
1t is said he does not want the sex in his
department. 1t may be that women have
become too numerous in the public service
and that great many unworthy females
have secured positions through sinister in
fuences. OF late years, certainly, the
women have obtained large share of the
situations under government. In the
early days Of the Republic such an inva-
sion OF public employments by the sex
which our ancestors considered to be SET
apart from the work of the world for the
the reward and rejection of the workers
would have been looked upon with horror
as we'll as with astonishment But unless
Shurz succeeds in his retogressive move
ment, generation or two hence the
spectacl of An ablebodied male of our
species dong the State service, which
could he equally well done by the female
may arouse the same emotions.

EASTERN WAR NEws-The war news
is not less contradictory than usual. Ac-
,cording 20 the dispatch the Russians
have affected loigment in the Dabrud-
seha, after losing nineteen-twentieths of
the corps thar crossed the Danube. The
Turks, after all but exterminatinc this
force, retreated precipitately. aving the
guns behind them. The annihilated Rus
slams then advanced and took battery
but finding a wood full of Turks they re-
tired and went further up the country.
The Russians, after having made the plac
nearly uninhabited, are now falling back
in confusion, apparently caused by the
failure of the Turkish shells to explode.
In Armenia the most extraordinary events
hrve occurred Ismail Pasha and Mon
khtsr Pasha have thrashed the Russians
at Delibaba until it became necessary 70
bring up Turkish reinforcemen;s. On
their side the Russians, having carried
everything before them, have decided 10
take ground TO the r1ar, and the singnla,
and somewhat p,rplexing spectacle is Of

THE DEBT. = According TO Secretary
Sherman's plan, the bonded debt OF the
United States will be 500, ,00O, 600 In D.
per-cents, 500, 600, 900 in 4@-per-cents,
and about $500, 100000 in 4per-cents,
the latter amount being now 6-per-cent
An effort is now being made to place a
portion of the 5-per-cents amongst the
people of the United States, the loan be-
ING open to all. II was probably mis-
take that the 4 percent. bonds were Of
fered in the same way. The 4-per-cent-
bonds will not be subject to taxation

TIE GROVER INVESTIGATION. Senators
Morton, Salisbury and Mcmillan arc nov
in Portland, and have already commenced
the Grover investigation W. H. Wat
kinds was the first with ess examined, but
if he told anything new we have failed to
discover it. The whole investigation IS
likely to prove broad farce.

RUMoRs of plot to blow up the banks
of the Suez Canal are made the pretext
for ordering British force to Egypt
What further complications may arise
from this it is impossible, as yet, to fore
see ; but it seems c-rtain that Disraeli
has obtained the whip hand of the cabinet,
and that Englands future policy will be
strongly anti-Russian.

ACTING PRESIDENT Hayes says that the
first officer who takes part in the manage
ment of party affairs will be removed.
Washington territory officials have fair
warning, and if in the future they are
found meddling with political affairs they
are quite sure to be reported. Let them
attend to their official duties, and the
people will take care of the election Of
delepate.

New DEPARTURE Butler says
the acting President has made new de-
partue. There has arisen king who
knows not Benjamin. Mr.. Butler having
waited long enough to see whether his
advice will be asked or his assistance re-
CURED in running the government, very
properly washes his hands of the whole
business. 1t is sad but the administra-
ton Will have to worry along without him.

FRAUD, successful for a while, Is not
yet wholly victorious. The ringing words
of Mr.. Hendricks viii resound through
the land, and thrill in every honest
breast. ''The pathway TO fraudulent
elections is the highway TO national death
If the Republic is to endure, we have
looked for the last time upon the IN
augiration of a national Executive who
was not elected" Public sentiment IS
awake to this, and in the campaign OF
1880 it will not be forgotten.

4 PALPABLE HIr-When IN his reply
to Ben Buffers msinuation Of the cor
rupt use Of money by the Louisiana com
mission. Wayne MacVeigh observed that
1T is only military commandant of
New Orleans in time of war who can
safely appropriate any considerable guam
tity of the property of others to his own
use, he struck terrible blow, and STUN
bled on great historic fact.

The War OVER There are still some
people in this country who are mad that
the war is over. The best way TO treat
this class is to disregard their insane ut
terances, enforce the laws uniformly and
equally for white and black, and, as far
as possible, elevate the standard of intel
Ieence, citizenship and morality.

THE Our LOOK IN OHIo.-The election
in Ohio this fall for the state officers, and
the legislature, which viii choose Senator
in the place of Stanley Matthews, Is not
only important locally, but will lave a
broader significance IN It's bearing upon
the administration and the radical party.
All the present indications are favorable
to a democratic triumph by decided
popular majority, The radicals are dis
contented with Hayes, and intend TO show
their spirit by positive rebuke of his
policy which will not soon be forgotten.
, 1877-07-07

Not TO BIZ ENvIED.-Let no man envy
HAYES. There is not an honest hod-car-
rier or street-laborer in the land to-day
who is not more to be envied. Whatever
he has in the world of good reputation he
has it honestly, and can squarely look
every neighbor in the face without being
possessed of the feeling that some consider
him fraud, the receiver of stolen goods.
, 1877-07-07

SoPHIsTEY.- are reminded with a
gravity truly owlish, that Hayes title has
been ''solemnly" pronounced good, and
therefore cannot now be called in ques-
ton. That is, if black is pronounced
white, provided only that it be done with
sufficient solennity, then black is white,
and is to be seen as such. The sense OF
the people is not to be imposed upon by
these sophistries. They know that fraud
remains fraud to the end Of time.

REsrEcrABLK--There is hope even for
members of the New York Legislature. a
man who has sunk so low as to hold a
seat in the assembly few years ago, 10y
turning over a new leaf and devoting him
self to honest industry, has risen to the
high position of captain Of a baseball
nine.
, 1877-07-07

CUTTING LoosE.-The radical leaders
believe the only mode of saving the party
from disruption is to cut loose from hayes
and his whole concern, and to brand them
as faithless TO principle. Even heroic
treatment may not prevent defeat, but
without it there is hardly hope for the
future. This belief is largely shared IN
Ohio, and viii go far to determine the re-
suit in October. The first idea is to set
tie with the administration and having
done that, to reorganize on a better basis,

shipments from New York Continued, In Ex-
PectntIon of Speedy Relief

At the Baltimore and Ohio Railroads local
office yesterday the freight officials said that
thus far the strike had had no cffect upon Now
York shipments. Merchants had continued 10
ship and the road had forwarded its freight
trusting that all trouble would be over by the
time II had arrived al the scene Of action. The
only aim 'ulty had been with the freight already
on the road which had been detained AT Mar
tinshurg. For the future what was TO be feared
Was that the spreading strike might become
general. stoppHge on any one road only
threw the forwarding Of freight upon the other
through lines should II strike occur on all the
lines mt once. then. Of course. no freight could
be forwarded at all. Not until the strike be-
came general, then. would there bc any great
decrease in the shipping of mer handise.
although. OF course. probability Of delay was
enough 10 frightcn OF owners Of pershable
goods.
At the freight department of tho Ponnsvl-
vania road which forwards for the Baltimore
ana ono from this point To Baltimore. at Pier
!, "A Ike view was taken IN regard 10 both roads.
Thus far on neither had there been any dim-
mutton IN the amount OF goods shipped. nor in
the amount received. the delayed cars at Mar
tinsburg not yet being due. Speaking eener-
ally, al this end of the line business was doing
az II there had been no strike. Freight would
continue 10 he forwarded. too. until the supply
OF empty cars gave out OF which there was no
INN dlate probability.
