THE GRAIN MovEMENT.=The advices
from Europe are considered as favoring the
hope that the war will be confined to the
powers already engaged, and the markets
for grain show a further shrinkage in

fell rapidly yesterday forenoon, but there
was some reaction, followed by second
decline, and succeeded in turn by rally

from 90 to IS cents, and rallied to 81 cents.
At the afternoon board the price opened at
sly cents, declined TO 6e, and closed at66x

Senator Christiancy, Of Michigan, has
written a letter to Senator Hill, of
Georgia, congratulatipg the latter upon
and warmly commending his recent let

Reconciliation, restoration of confidence

facts often pressed upon it by the Demo-

have no trouble in finding out the truth
of the matter. This all results, we pre-
sumo, from the orders of the Chief Ex-
ecutive. Ii is true that this is only com
menced in obedience to the laws which
the Democrats of the House forced
through that body in opposition to the
votes of the Republican members but
he readiness of the President to put
these laws in operation is taken by the
people as an evidence that Mr.. Hayes is
sincere and earnest in his expressed wish.

nomical administration. .....
1t is stated that the committee which
has been sent to New York to examine
The Custom House there with view to
reducing the number of employees, have
expressed great astonishment at the great
number of men who are on pay who do
no duty and know nothing of the duties
their official position calls for. 1t was
testifedt to yesterday that in the Auditors
office alone there were ninety-nine such
men receiving pay, and that one-fifth of
the employees would be unnecessary if
competent, clerks were employed. In
Philadelphia and other cities no doubt
the same state Of affairs exist but if this
is the case in the Auditors Office in New
York, what must it be in the outdoor
service?
This is not astounding, or should not
oe, after the fact of there being kept in the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing nine
hundred hands under pay for so many
years, when three hundred only are ne
cessary. Over five hundred of these were
discharged last week. And now the
Cabinet has just determined that of the
.ftty-eight Pension Agencies only tacenty
are necessary, and it is said the Depart
ment has orders to reduce the number to
twenty,
The Revenue Collection Districts were
consolidated year ago, but they are to
be still further reduced; and in New Y York
one is to be required to do the work now
done by four, and two more are to be
discharged in the States of Louisiana and
Mississippi, This is all done under and
in obedience TO the laws of Democratic
House when we get Democratic Sen
ate to cooperate in the work of economy
we shall expect to see still further reduc
lions made, or at least the same proces.

CLEAN THE ELEVENTH ST. BAsIN.-l
Some time ago the Board of Health ordel-
ed the Eleventh street basin cleaned. Itj
needs cleaning now and the advocates
for finishing the new reservoir pretend
that it cannot be done-that to empty one
part of it would cause a water famine for
the time.
This is fraud-and is practiced for
purpose. The Republican is the vehicle
through woich the fraud is sought to be
perpetrated. The people of Wilmington
are not so forgetful as not to remember
that the basin has been cleaned before
once by the present head of the Water
Department, and since, we think, by Mr..
Hide. This was just before the large
pipe was laid through our city by Mr.
William NJ. Candy, and by the Demo
Gratis under Mr.. McIntire, yet the Repul
ticdn says.
''There was time when the pip pes through
the city held water enough for a few day
cleaned without any dangerous risk, bu
the consumption is so great now that 1
would be unsafe to empty the basins TO
half day. The IGAzETTE doubtless hs!
spoken the truth about the condition of tn
basin, and is but an argument in favor O
the completion ofthe new one, though
was the least intended as such"
The population is not much, if any
larger now than it was when the basi
was cleaned. The large pipes have sine
been laid, and yet the Republican say
the basin cannot be cleaned. Mr.. Hyd
did it in a day, when the city had sma
pipes. Let it be done now. The r
publican shows its ears. 1t is notorio,
that all such basins will get dirty, and
will the new reservoir when it is built.
The Eleventh street basin can be fill
with water in seUen hours by the W.
thington pump, and there is no reas
under the sun why it cannot be as cas-
cleaned how as when Mr.. HYDE did it
readily that our people knew nothi
about it.
If the new reservoir was finished n
we could not use it until we had n
