A Terrible Fire. A Whole Towns hip De-
stroyed

GREEN BAY, Wis, Aug 7. Sunday
the forest fires swept the thickly settled
farming township Of Eaton. Most Of the
men were on the prairies making hay
and their wives at home unavailingly
fought the flames. Only three houses re-
main in the entire town, the inmates
barely escaping. Thirty families are in
a plowed field, having lost everything.
Dead cattle lie about every where. The
ripening grain providentially escaped Sc
rious injury. The destitute families will
be temporarily provided for at the poor
house.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. I. Accounts from
Eaton confirm the reports Of suffering by
the fires. The settlement Of Polanders,
II miles from Green Bay, suffered severe
ly. About thirty families are rendered
homeless and lost their crops, farming
tools, clothing and everything they pos
scssed, barely escaping with their lives.
They were compelled to force their way
through a line Of fire for about two miles
and huddled together for protection on a
track of broken ground. Many were Sc
Verely burned in the face, and in some
cases their eyesight was impaired. Many
animals persisted, lying in heaps and
crowded together for fancied safety. Some
portions OF the town have not been heard
from yet. There We're heavy showers
yesterday and this morning, and there is
no probability Of any further damage

OLD Wings AND CIVIL SERVICE.
civil service reform scheme of Mr.. Hayes
is a very poor imitation of that which was
suggested by Henry Clay in 1912, during
the presidency of John Tyler. He ad-
vocated San honest and economical ad-
ministration of the general government,
leaving public officers perfect freedom of
thought, and of the right Of suffrage; but
with suitable restraints against improper
intorforence IN elections This doctrine,
as set forth by the great whig statesman,
is essentially different from that promul-
gated by Hayes 1t left the public officer
free to think and vote as he pleased, but
simply restrained him from offensive par
tisanship, and its prime requirement was
honesty and economy in the public ser
vice The Hayes false pretenee scheme
of civil service reform processes to inhibit
the office holder from offensive partisan
ship while it allows men nOrtoriously dis
honest and unworthy to remain In import
ant positions. OF the appointees under
Hayes, SO far, a large proportion are even
worse than those appointed by Grant
The de Jtaeto president has appropriated
the idea of the illustrious Kentucky states
man, but dwarfed the practice Of 1t to his
own small mind and delusive purpose.
, 1877-11-10

THE SITUATION.-A correspondent de-
scribinc the condition Of affairs at Wash
ington, SAYS that Hayes is sadly deficient
in backbone, and among his cabinet Of
ficers there is not one who possesses 1t.
Sherman has more Of it than any other,
but in his disposition to substitute craft
for candor he has lost the courage of his
consci .nce. EvaYts has no more backbone
than an eel, and Schurz, who IS 20 him
the next most influential cabinet officer,
is proverbially supple in the ways Of those
who exc out the lack of physical courage
with diplomacy If the radicals had now
i'll either house Of Congress a leader with
the vim and boldness which characterized
Thad Stevens, the administration would
not stand against them another day, but
would surrender at discretion. ConklIng
has not the pluck to lead a vigorous assault
he prefers argument rather than action,
and with him words are more ready then
deeds. Blaine has the squirt of daring in
him, but he flags too soon, and is not the
man to lead = long and steady assault to
successful issue. Gen. Garfield Is measur
ably benumbed by the chill Of his own
defeat for the senate and the result of the
Ohio election, and the power or knack of
leadership has gone from Banhs and kel-
ley; while Ben Butler sits indifferent to-
ward all, with his hat-fu!i of brickbats to
throw right and left, as the devilishness
Of his nature OF the temporary streak Of
wicked or mischievous humor prompts
him. He will worry rather than help
Hayes and his party.

JOHN WEIGH, the newly appointed
minister to England, is very respectable
Philadelphia merchant, who made the i'm
portation of sugar his principal line of
business, and has lived seventy-two years
without arreSfing tESbublic eye. Let us
not assume, in consequence of Mr.. John
Welch's obseurity, that he is not a proper
man for the place He is said to have
maintained high character, in spite of
the opportunities the sugar business af-
forded for increasing the weight Of one's
merchandise without adding to its virtue
We may at least rest assured that Mr. j.
Welch will not write treatise on draw
poker while in London. nor give oral in
structiun to London ladies' in its myster-
les. He will be respectable minister,
and his wealth enables him to support the
state in which forsign ministers lii Lon
don are expected to live. 1t does not ap-
pear that blr. Welch has any especial
knowledge of the art of diplomacy, or that
there is any reason why he should receive
the appointment in preference to han

AN AVALANCHE OF BUSINESS. is stat
ed that over 800 bills have already been
introduced in the House of representa-
tiveS. There has been some doubt wheth-
er public business would be taken up at
the extra session, but if this does not in
dIcate business, the average member OF
congress can boast of little experience in
that line. The referring power of commit
ties comes into play in the disposition Of
this vast number Of bills. Very many of
them will never he heard of again. In
common parlance, they will be killed in
committee. In other cases q dozen bills
will be merged into one aid new bill re.
ported by the committee. 1t may bear
some other members name, but is pretty
sure not to be any one members work.
The bills to remonetize silver are almost
as numerous as the silver advocates. Pri-
vate bills are mostly definitely considered
in committee. The House is guided by
the recommendations of the committee,
who are supposed to have examined into
the merits Of each bill referred to them.
1t IS only by some such process of COM
mlttee work that the House can transact
any business. 1t certainly cannot ex-i
anime any portion Of the bills tha. como
before 1t except through y regular or spe-
cial committee.

SENATOR MoR1oN hreathed his last on
Thursday, November lst. His death. al
though SD long expected, caused quite a
sensation. Both houses of Congress ad-
journed out of regard to the dead Senator
and every mark of respect was paid to his
memory. Deceased was not a fayori.e
with us during his life time. and We have
no maudlin tears 10 shed over his graye
A man Of great force of will, he had No
scrIples about the means used to accom-
plish his ends. The chief in the conspir-
acy, to force defeated candidate into the
presidential office, he more than any other
man must be held responsible for tha,
great crime. As warning to the living,
it is right to place upon record the fact
that there are crimes for which even death
affords no attonement, and the memory Of
which will follow the perpetrator beyond
the grave. The rule may seem harsh
one, but it is necessary for the class OF
men who having no fears for the present
can only be restrained by apprehensions Of
tho hereafter.

CRor PRosrEcrs IN CALIroRSIA.-We
learn that the late rains extended through
out the state, and the farmers are now
afforded opportunity to put their ground
in condition for crops. So far, there Is a
bright promise, and if a eopious rainfall
shall succeed in proper season, lu1uriant
harvest next year viii be realized to cheer
all and revivify evesy branch of trade and
business. With prolific wheat crop, ae-
cordingto present indications, the depress-
ing effects of the drcuth OF the past season
viii be very much relieved The war IN
Europe is quite certain to be prolonged
into the latter part of the coming year, and
the Russian crop viii undoubtedly be
light, because Of the tremendous STRAIN
upon her able bodied population to recruit
her armies in the campaign, which takes
from the agricultural regions the best
workers.
