MR.. SPRINGER, Congressman from Illi-
nois, is a reformer of the most virulent type -
man who believes in cutting down all ex-
penses except his own-an office-holder who
is clamorous for the reduction of every salary
but Springer's. This economist has brought
in bill for ten thousand dollars against the
government, and the history of that bill is
peculiarly instructive. At the time the Gen.
tennial appropriation was made, the Illinois
reformer strongly opposed it as waste OF
the peoples money, and finding his opposi-
tion useless proposed an amendment making
the government preferred creditor. Thus
amended the bill passed, but so bunglingly
was it worded that not even the proverbial
astuteness of the Philadelphia lawyers was
sufficient to its Interpretation. A controver-
sy arose, and Springer went before the courts
to explain away his blunder. For this right
ing of his own wrong he charges ten thousand
dollars. The act forcibly calls to mind one
of the best known incidents in the life of
Sargent S. Prentiss. Mr.. Prentiss objected
fiercely to the challenging by any other man
of Senator Foote of Mississippi with whom
he had many duels) saying that no reserved
Foote for his own private shooting. Appar-
emily Mr.. Springer reserves the Treasury for
his own plundering.

the probability that our wardrobe will soon
furnish its quota of raw material for white

SINCE the conviction of Congressman
Smalls Of South Carolina the Democratic
papers have been investigating his history
and find that his career of, crime began dur
ing the war. The first downward step was
taken, they say, when he made his escape
from slavery by stealing rebel boat and run
ming it through the lines TO the Union army.
Heretofore this has been held to be one of
the heroic deeds of the war, but in the era
of ''conciliation" it is held a crime. One of
the best of the Democratic journals, the
Hartford Tunes, says of it: 'No matter
whether his master was violating law by his
rebellion, the act of Smalls in running away
with the vessel was not in the line OF lawful
acts or moral conduct" In view of this
doctrine Gen. Grant will perhaps be wise to
remain in Europe, for if he returns they will
have him arrested for rob5ing the states of
Mississippi and Virginia of the cities of Vicks-
burg and Petersburg. No matter whether
these states were violating law by their re-
bellion, the act of Grant in taking the cities
was not, according to the new Interpretation,
in the line of lawful acts or moral conduct

Ceremonies at the Church of the Immac.
ulate Conception.
The Orleans Battalion Of Artillery attended
High Mass at the Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception (Jesuits' church, ON Baronne street.
The attendance was oyerfowing and the eere-
monies Of the most imposing and interesting
character, the occasion being enhanced by the
production BY the choir, under the Leadership Of
Prof. CoIlignon, of Gounod's new mass. This
mass, which has been criticised by some persons
as being q departure from the accepted style OF
church music, was nevertheless we'll rendered by
the choir. The Benedictus, auartette, the only
exception TO the choral character OF the mass,
was sung By Mesdames Comes I'D Duna and
Messrs. Krebs and Repetto, very Handsomely.
One Of the principal features Of the ceremonies
was the discourse Of the Reverend Father Hu-
bert, tried and valiant soldier Of the Lost
Cause, whose courage and devotion on many bat
tie fields richly deserved the grade Of major be-
slowed upon him by the Confederate government.
The address was full Of inspiration and was de-
livered withal with that fire and eloquence which
fervent patriotism alone can manifest. We hap
