The Coming International Rife
Match.

A special committee Of the national rife
association met at New York Friday night,
Col. WiDgate presiding, to consider the
beet means of selecting team to represent
the United States in the approaching rife
contest with Great Britain, Judge Stanton
thought that none but men of high moral
character and good reputation should be
allowed on the team, as great interest
would be at stake. The team will consist
Of eight, with two reserves and captain
and sdjutant. 1t was decided that the
committee on selection be limited TO
three and given full power. Col. Sanford
favored committee of five, whereby San
Francisco, New Orleans or Chicago could
be represented. A full report will be made
to the board Of directors tonight. A plan
submitted by committee OF the rife team
of last year suggests that competition for
places on the team for 1877 be open to all
nstive-born citizens of the United States or
the territories; Elk general competitions to
be opened as soon as practicable In each
competition fifteen shots to be fired at each
range, 800, 900, and 1000 yards without
sighting shots; the ten contestants making
the highest aggregate in any four of the
six competitions to form the team and the
reserve; any vacancy after the team is
selected to be filled by majority vote Of
the remaining members.

THE WAY 1T WORKED.

The presidents theory of civil service
reform proceeds upon the idea that senator's
and representatives in congress should have
no more 10 do with appointments to, and
removals from, office than any other repu-
table citizens that their recommendations
should be taken for what they may be
worth, but that they should not necessarily
be controlling 1t sometimes happens,
however, that the filling of local Offices
petty post offices, for lnstance-are referred
to representatives in congress, for the very
good reason that neither the president or
cabinet know anything about the qualif-
cations of the applicants, and are unfamil-
lar with the character and standing of the
several persons who recommend the differ
ent applicants. 1t sometimes happens, too,
that in these cases, the representative seeks
to avoid responsibility, shirks his duty, and
endsavors to curry favor with all parties

JUDGE NOT

The Now York tribune urges that Mis-
sisslppi must "be judged by the way she
treats her criminals" and that if an as
sassin lives in community where there is
statute law against murder, shut where
there is not enough moral energy behind
the law to insure its enforcement, the
crime of the assassin becomes the crime
"of the community" Precisely, and for
getting, for the nonce, Mississippi, let us
make the application. The great city of
New York was robbed years ago of some
seven millions of dollars. 1t is well known
that William M. Tweed, Richard B. Con-
molly, A. Oakley Hall, Peter B. Sweeny,
Thomas c. Fields, Genet, Ingersoll, Wood
ward, Carney, and others too numerous to
mention shared in the spoils. Ingersoll,
alone, was sent to state prison for his
crimes, and he was speedily pardoned by
Governor Tilden. Tweed is confined in
jail on civil process with fair prospect
for his release. Hall has been tried and
acquitted. Sweeny has settled his share
Of the robbery by disgorgiDg some twenty
five per cent. Of his spoils, and the court
took occasion to remark that the payment
OF this amount "involved no concession by
"or reflection upon" Sweeny. Wood
ward has been released Connolly is about
to settle for thirty cents on the dollar,
and returns again to New York
with over three millions of dollars-all
stolen from the city and county-to again
become leader in politics while Fields,
Genet and the rest of them are ready to be
settled with, and will be settled with, for a
small per centage of their stealings, and re-
sume their old places in New York society
and politics. New York "must be allowed
I" to judge her own criminals" but she her
self must "be judged by the way she treats
" her criminals" and if there is not
enough moral energy behind the law to in
sure its enforcement, the. crime of robbipg
the city and county, and all the fraud and
perjury connected Herewith, ''becomes
the crime OF the community" Perhaps
II would be well for our New York breth-
ron, like those Of Vermont, to remember
thatit was said more than eighteen hun
dred years ago, "Judge not that We be not
Judged"

BY the fire at Bridgeport, Connecticut,
Friday, quarter of million dollars
worth of property was destroyed, and
eleven lives lost; and the coroner's jury
found that "the supply of water from the
"hydrants was wholly inadequate; and
that "had there been sufficient water, the
" fire department would have stopped the
conhagration which caused the falling of
the walls which resulted in such ter
rible destruction of human life. Is not
Rutland, by its confessedly inadequate sup
ply of water, and by the unwise and inju-
dicious course OF the village in reference to
the expenditure of the money received from
water rates, inviting similar calamity !?
If we are visited by destructive fire, and
loss of life, as well as of property, results
from an inadequate supply of water, where
will the responsibility rest ? Our fire de-.
partment is all that could be asked, but it

Now York Custom House Victims.

Norman Eltinje, George B. Bacon,
Frank ID. Curtis and William II. Lock-

tom house, have been dismissed. The Times
says they were appointees of Fenton,
Eltinje served with Grant in the Mexican
war, and was formerly in the navy; Curtis
Is an attache of the Tribune, and Lock wood
was city official. The president has sus-
pended George X. Leet, assistant collector
at Jersey City. The surveyor has appoint
ed Jas. l.. Benedict, B.FL Noble and K. @.

Sun says the salary OF Auditor Ogden, 80
years in the custom house, is cut down
from 81, 900 to $1,000; of Deputy Survey
or Benedict, "a years In the service, from

Connolly's Five Millions.

The Tribune reports that Connolly's un-
lawful gains are much greater than COM
monty reported. An account is given of
the manner in which he blackmailed con-
tractors, tradesmen and all others who had
bills against the city to collect, and of the
method by which he levied tribute on mar
ketmen. A moderate estimate of his
spoils places them at $4,000, 900. The
Sweeney compromise is now said to have
been loss TO the city of over 5000, 900, as
he once offered 5000. 900 in settlement.
The World corrects its statement attrib-
uted to John Kelly that Tweed had offered
$4,000, 900 to compromise. Kelly simply
said that Tweed's testimony would save the
city $2,000,000. The World reports that
Connolly's son-in-law recently represented
Connolly as perfectly contented abroad, and
as saying he would see the city OF New
York eternally damned before he would
give it cent, even II he never saw the city
again.

Washington N otes.

The IrT6uues special says a prominent
member of the syndicate discovers that the
new four and four and half per cent.
bonds are redeemable in silver or gold.
These words are printed on the face OF the
bonds.
The Rsralds Washington special says
the Mexican minister carries with him to
New York written assurance that the
United States does not entertain the most
remote intention Of permanently occupying
any Mexican territory.
The zri6lne's special says Evar,s in
formed Bostonian, who inquired by let
ter as to the advisability of the United
States declaring her adhesion TO the decla-
ration OF Paris in regard to privateering that
the government could not discuss diplomatic
questions with individuals.
The 7ri6unes special says Secretary
Sherman yesterday declared that he favors
making silver legal tender for all pur-
poses for which United States notes are
now legal tender, but opposes legalizing
silver in payment for customs and for
other purposes for which greenbacks may
not be employed.
The Times special says Minister Foster
states that Diaz received our govern
ment's instructions to Gen. Ord in the
most friendly spirit, and stated that he
would Immediately send force to cooper
ate with Gen. Ord. 1t is now confidently
believed that both governments will agree
upon joint plan by which marauding will
be suppressed.
The 1si6uncs special says a national
bank In New York within few weeks has
delivered its circulation one day and re-
ceived It's bonds, and the next day presented
its bonds and asked to increase its circula-
ton. The secretary has been obliged each
time to cancel 80 per cent. OF the amount
in greenbacks. The operations we're on
very considerable scale, 81 900 900 in
bonds each time. An attempt ia being
made TO induce other banks to join in such
efforts to make legal tenders scarce.
The Tri6une's special says an examina-
tion of the sinking fund act shows that it
does not necessarily require the money set
apart for the fund TO be devoted TO the re-
demption Of the bonded debt. The law re-
fers to the obligations of the United States,
which of course include non-interest bear
ing legal tenders, and 1t is claimed that the
$4,000, 900 OF the sinking fund can be an
nually locked up in legal tenders and retir-
ed without power or reissue. In the items
OF the sinking fund and fractional currency
laws, $4S, 900 900 Of legal tenders can be
retired annually without power to reissue,
except by special Legislation. Some of the
Jealous friends of Sherman's present policy
are pressing this upon him. 1t is now
stated that 800, 900, 900 of legal tenders are
locked up 10 the treasury In various funds,
while the debt statement accounts for but

frogs become that they will come out of

The "divorce business" seems TO be
playing out everywhere except in Vermont.
The last Illinois legislature made it mig
demeanor to publish advertisements offer
ing to obtain divorces without publicity,
and provided for suspending from practice
attorneys offering so to obtain them a
Missouri court has just disbarred an attor-
ney for advertising that he would obtain d.

ture of Vermont refuses to require an afl-

sion with the opposite party.

added that she had been engaged upon it
for eight years they laughed immoder-

for q haE interest in "The Baptism of
Fire." they laughed and laughed, and

subsequently stated that she was Jones'

Young man testified that Pike had
charged him two dollars for examining
