DRY UP.-The Philadelphia Bulletin,
in alluding to Hayes order, wants no
doubling Thomases about. The editor
in question remarks "Those persons
who express the opinion that the Re-
publican party cannot be conducted
successfully without the assistance of
the Federal oflice.holders ought to
ask themselves how the Democratic
party contrives TO win with considera-
bic frequency without such help" To
which the Doylestown Democrat re-
marks; "ob, yes but then VIC know
there is wide difference between tho

plunder, while the Democratic is a

together without the aid Of office.

RATHER ANNOYING seems that
some of tho loyal Postmasters are
greatly annoyed about the department
of the Confederate Brigadier," who
holds the Key TO the Postoffice Depart
ment, and who is just now engaged in
sending out Hayes civil service card,
70 the aforsaid. Well, il was little
rough on tho 'loyal millions when
Hayes sent for a Confederate to help
him TO inaugurate 'reform within
the party" ,""controllod by grand moral
IDEAS" But there is no remedy now,
only to grin and bear, or resign, and
thereby free ones self from tho grasp
Of all rebels.

DEoAYINa PATRIorIsM.-We notice
that large number of the young
men who have graduated at West
Point, aud at tho Naval academy, nj
Annapolis lately, resign soon after
graduating This may be all right.
But it seems hardly fair that the gov.
ernment should educate, at tho ex.
pensc of the taxpayers, lot OF select
young men, while the great majority
must educate themselves. Is II a
cheap dodge only to get son educated
at the public expense; Or an accident
that they do not remain IN their regi-
mentals ? 1t looks like dirty work,
but the parties may be moved by pa.
triotic motives still.

THE EASTERN WAR.


The conflict now going on between
the Turks and the Russians, is at its
height. The Danube has been crossed
by l25,O00 Russians, who arc now
laying waste one of the fairest per
tions of tho Globe So far, in Europe,
the Russians seem to have the lead,
although they are the invaders; but
wo shall be greatly mistaken if the
half of their number will ever recross
tho Danube, if their commander per-
sists in marching them into the inter
ior of the Turkish Empire,
1t is pretty evident that the Rus
slams have met with a disastrous de-
feat in Asia The Turks so completely
circumvented the Russian forces that
they were compelled to abandon the
scige OF Kars, and in their retrograde
movements they were attacked by the
Turks at every point, leaving thous-
ands of their dead and wounded in the
hands Of the Turks, who carried every
position they attacked.

A Moro GRADUATE.-The "loyal
millions" will no doubt rejoice when
they learn that after ten years effort,
on the part of the government officials,
philanthropists, negroes and abolition
lists one "colored brother" has been
milled through West Point and com.
missioned Lieutenant. His name is
Flippcr, and he halls from Georgia,
and is the only gentleman from
Africa" out of twenty-five who enter
ed that made the landing. The class
numbered soventy-six, at the head Of
which stood VIM. M, Black (white) Of
Pennsylvania, while Flipper stood No.
so, Ben. Buffers son 81, Ex Minister
Bigelow's son 46 and Frank Blair's l6.
1t will be observed that Flipper and
Buffers merits are about the same--a
strange family resemblance in this
particular An exchange says: "When
itcame to giving out the diplomas, as
the colored youth stepped forward and
received the diploma with q dignified
bow, Gen. Sherman clapped his hands
approvingly, and his example was at
once followed by nearly all the visitors
and officers present, until there was
almost universal round of applause.
Flipper, it is needless to say, was not
even seen to blush, but he acknowl.
edged the compliment by modostly in.
clining his head. He was tho only
cadet applauded." Well, why should
"whitetrash"be applauded in country
ruled by knaves and demagogues. We
move that Flipper DO re-baptizcd and
called Flipper Sherman hereafter, in
honor of the General.

a LITTLE ORooKrD.-The spirit OF
Hayes card is somewhat blurred from
tho fact that his Secretary OF War,
Geo. W. McCrary, made pilgrimage
to Iowa and attempted to control the
action of the Radical State Conven-
ton. That step is discount on civil
service reform. Because, if the mem
bers of the Cabinet do not keep their
fingers out of the political pie, the boys
will not. Hence the government
order will iall to the ground.

reign either the latter or the former

Friends Of Mr.. Blaine in this city say that bis
