THE LONGEST TUNNEL IN THE
UNION.

Few people know how great an engi-
neering enterprise is going on in Balti-
more county. For one thing alone, a
36, ,510-is being built under ground, for
over four-ffths Of the distance through
hard gneiss and granite. 1t will be the
longest tunnel in the country, and there
will be only two larger in the world-the
Mont Connis, which is eight miles in
length, and the st. Gothard, now in
progress Of construction, and which is to
be 81 miles. The fact that the water
supply tunnel lies near enough to the
surface to allow of numerous shafts,
greatly facilitates its construction. The
tunnel is q circle II feet in diameter,
and extends from the Gunpowder river,
about eight miles from the city, to
Lake Montebello-th distributing rsser-
voir-near the Hartford turnpike, about
a mile and half from this city, the d.
rection being 26 degrees west Of south.
This tunnel will collect the water from
Gunpowder river to Lake Montebello.
Thence conduit, 4, 100 feet long, known
as the Clifton tunnel from the fact that
it passes under portion OF the Clifton
Park, conducts the water to point Just
south of the Hartford road, where it en-
ters six mains, each four feet in diame-
ter, which convey the water to the city,
distance of 1900 feet The country
along the line of the works is billy, and
the tunnel varies in depth below the
surface from 50 to 1853 feet. There are
fifteen shafts in the main tunnel, the
deepest extending 294 feet below the
surface. The water rains down from the
crsvioes in the rocks, and pours along
the bottom OF the drift. Gangs of men,
each with his miners lamp attached to
his hat, are hard at work picking and
delving in the flnty bowels Of the earth /;
and the monotonous clang of the ham,
msr upon the drill is constantly heard,
except when everything is in readiness
for firing the mine, when all retire to q
safe distance, and thunderous reports
roll through the rocky corridors. The
work of the tunneling is all done by
hand, it being cheaper than the ma
chine work in Drift OF such narrow
diameter.-[ Baltimore Gazette.

The New Orleans Democrat relates
the following story about the Ords:
General Ord, now in command of the
United States troops on the Rio Grande,
is grandson of George ~. and the
actress Mrs. Fitzherbert. to whom he
was married by Catholic priest while
Prince Regent. The consent of Parlia-
ment had not been given, and the mar
riage was illegal in English law. A son
was born by this union and consigned to
the care OF tutor named Ord, who en-
igrated with him to this country. The
youth took the name OF his tutor, and
married Virginia or Maryland lady, by
whom he had two sons, Atlanticus and
Pacificus. The first was sent to West
Point, and is the General on the Rio
Grande- The second became lawyer
in New Orleans. and emigrated to Cali
fornia twenty-five years ago where he is
a judge.

Sudden Disappearance of A. Oakley Hall.

Hon. A. Oakley Hall, formerly Mayor
of New York, has disappeared, pro-
ducing great excitement in that city
1t appears that he was at his Office on
Friday of last week, apparently we'll
and in his usual good spirits. He left
at his usual hour, and since then has
not been heard of, either at home or in
any of the places he was in the habit
of visiting. The police authorities We're
notified on Monday morning, but their
efforts to discover his whereabouts have
been wholly unsuccessful thus far 1t
was not until Tuesday evening that it
began to be whispered about that he
was missing. No satisfactory reason
for his strange disappearance can be
surmised He was understood to have
a lucrative law practice, although he
has been somewhat embarrassed lately
for ready money. The theory of his
family is that he has either wandered
off while suffering from an alteration
of mind-of which, however, he gave
no sign-or that he has been wavlaid
robbed and murdered. An outside sur
mise is that his absence is probably due
to his dread of being required to testify

A GOOD SIGN.

The adjournment of the Senate seems
to have put an end, comparatively
speaking, to the wild scramble for office
which our Democratic brethren so deeply
deplore, but which, under certain more
favorable conditions, they would ONLY
be glad to have taken hand in. Great
as 1.-The rush has been, it has not
however, come up TO the standard gen
orally expected upon the accession of a
President fresh from the people. In
deed, the rush FROM Washington has,
since President Hayes Inauguration,
been far greater than the travel thither.
But suppose Mr.. Tilden had been
lnaugurated, instead of Gov. HAYES.
1t would have made the fortune of every
railroad leading to the National Capt.
tai. The travel alone between New
York and Washington would have put
as much money in the pocket of holders
of railroad stocks, as did the Centennial
itself. East, West, North, and South,
anxious patriots would have been on
the wing. The wcllequippcd reform

busters and paper collars, would have

THE SOUTHERN PROBLEM.

The Cabinet held two meetings. this
week, on Southern affairs. Messrs.
Evarts, Schurz, and Key favored with
drawal Of the troops This was not
passed. and the President and Cabinet
decided unanimously to send special
commission to Louisiana to examine
and report Mr. Wheeler will head the
commission, and Judge Davis. will be a
member, if they will consent. The
South Carolina case seems to be thought
much simpler, as no Commission is to
be sent to that State, and it is under
stood that the troops now keeping Gov.
Chamberlain in an office which is of no
use to him, will be speedily withdrawn.
1t is worthy Of note, that the three
most liberal members of the Cabinet
Messrs. Evarts. Schurz and Kew, at
one time favored the immediate with
drawal of the troops in Louisiana; but
the conclusion to await the report OF
the Commission was reached unani-
mously, and was eminently judicious.

WHITE AND BLACK.

Although, as Mrs. Malaprops says,
comparisons are oderous,' vet the
contrast between libcraity and narrow
ness has not recently been more clearly
drawn than in the debate in the Senate
on Monday last, on the confirmation of
Frederick Douglass as Marshal of the
District of Columbia. 1t was no par
tlcular surprise to any one, Of course,
that Mr. W. Pinckney Whvte should
oppose the nomination, and that upon
a very simple principle. We remember
having heard avery sensible Democrat
once remark, that the only colored man
in the world he could not tolerate, was
the negro that the Lord had blessed
with more brain than himself. We,
therefore, accord the honorable Senator
from Maryland all sincerity, when he
disclaims any animosity to Douglass on
the ground of color The objection was
purely an individual one He praises
the learning and ability of a man once
a Talbot county slave, but the stigma
of former condition outwcighs all con-
sderation of present personal attain
ment 1t was altogether like Wm
Pinckney Whyte.
On the other hand, to the credit of
true-hearted Southerner, General Nor
gan, Of Alabama, showed himself SUI
pcrior to, and above the narrow-minded
prejudice of his Maryland associate.
" He intended, in all his acts, to show
50 himself the representative of all men,
white and black If he should go
"home and tell the colored people of
his State, that he had voted against
" Douglass for this reason, they would
laugh at him" Are Maryland Demo
Gratis less sensible than those of A la
bama? If not, what emotions does Mr..
Whyte's act excite?

That the principles herein announced
are sound, no candid man can doubt
1t is the distinct enunciation of the pol
lev of the President as being the rccog-
milton Of the interests of the people at
large over the claims of professional
politicians That the one single object
is to secure efficiency and honesty in
the public service. That it aims to
destroy the power of selfish political
managers to defeat the popular will by
the personal abuse of the public offices
and the prostitution of the patronage
of the Government to personal uses
Ever since the proclamation OF the per-
niciOus Democratic doctrine, That to
"the victors belong the spoils," the pat
ronage of the Government in every sue
ceeding administration has been dis
tributed not with a view to public in
terests, but almost solely with reference
to the political and personal interests of
prominent politicians. President Hayes
stated the fact in a few words in his
letter Of acceptance. The Government
offices have become not merely re-
wards for party services but rewards
" for services to party leaders, 1t is not
surprising that inetliciencv and demon
alization have prevailed in all branches
of the civil service So long as the
tenure of office is uncertain aud Depend
ent upon the favor or disfavor of promi-
nent men, the Government never can
Secure the best and most competent pub
lie servants: In the selection of public
officers, the President thus, through his
immediate Cabinet representative, asks
the counsel and advice of Senators and
prominent leaders, but reserves the right
to make the most suitable appointments
as vacancies occur The principle is a
correct one, and being such as any pru-
dent business man would adopt in the
management of his private affairs, is no
less applicable to Government interests
