Virginia Republicans, those claiming ma
livity, ara sorrl, perplexed and know not
what TODD, and from their open expressions
are certainly in no good humor with Mr.,
! Hayes, claiming that the carpet-baggors and
! Democrats obtain all the Federal Offices whilst
they ate-entirely cast aside. The carpet-bag-
gers being appointed TO pacify The North and
the Democrats TO sooih over the wounded
South. 70 be thus situated is indeed sore
dilemma
The Marines now on extra duty, assisting
the militia OF The different Northern States in
qaellng the riots, will SO soon as Gen. Han
cock, who has been telegraphed to this effect,
can spare them, resume their places in the
North Atlantic squadron, as It's the anxious de-
/ sire Of the Administration 10 relieve the vessels
of war from the embargo which the necessities
of the labor riots have placed upon them.
| Our friend Johnnie Bull, in Canada, has
been holding qnite diplomatic correspond
ence with the Administration in relation 10
! this hayward, unruly, wandering youth Of
Mrs Columbia, and is very anxious that we
should take the boy home and provide for his
maintenance and moral bringing up. Our
! propositions to find johnnie of Canada have
not met with favorable considerations as we
don't want any prodiyai son ''in our'u," and
! that we give our hearty consent to his remain
ing just where he is, be being just little too
exlravagant in roaming about the country jAy-
hawking every thing he can get his hands on,
particularly soldiers scaps and brass buttons.
| What the result Of the diplomacy in regard to
sonnie Sitting Bull will be, we will inform
| you in our next.
! ExSpeakei Randall has visited US within
the past few days in order TO put bis house in
condition previous TO the meeting Of Congress,
and his visit had political significance
whatever, as has been lelegraphed over the
country. lie had nothing to say in relation
TO the organization Of the next house. OBJ
serving the old adage of still tongue making
II wise head, or words TO that effect He,
however, thought the Democratic majority OF
the next house would be sufficiently large
enough to prevent clerk Adams from putting
on the roll any Democrat who had no right
there, even Il Mr.. Adams was so disposed,
which is certainly not the case. The Demo-
Gratis will take no unfair advantage OF their
opponents, nor do anything that would com
| pei them TO assume the defensive The war
which may occur in the next House will be
aggressive on the part of the Democrats who
propose TO make "de mule fly, boss"
The Government has concluded TO compro-
mise the suit against the two members of the
Whskey Ring, Rehm and Mckee, provided
they pay to Uncle Sam a large penalty, suf-
| fieientiy so to attest the business of the claim
of the Government, the object being TO more
definitely settle the responsibility of the
ring-eaders rather than with any hope OF
pecuniarily benefitting the Government
A II the Republican Associations here repre-
senting the different States propose to evade
Mr.. Hayes order by changing the character of
their political organizations into that of social
societies, which will only be whipping the
devil around the stump, their former status
being, in point Of fact, retained ntact The
number of clerks from Ohio is at present very
large, and il is expected that an exception in
! their favor will be made in order that they
may go home and in the coming October cleo
/ ton assist in the vindcaton Of Mr. Hayes
policy as our German Secretary Schuz has
announced that ga rule without an exception
| is not worth enforcing
! The Secretary Of the Navy has determined
| to diminish the expenses Of his Department,
and has accordingly decided that vessels 10
commission, whilst lying in port aud subject
to and held in readiness for sea service where
the crew has been reduced, will be put upon
The list of Especial shore service" and the Of
feers thereof shall draw the diminished pay
Since the late decision of the U s. Supreme
| Court in regard to laborers' wages the Secre-
tary oil the Navy deems it unwise to enforce
the former construction in regard to making
contracts with laborers at len hours per day
The old rule will, therefore, be put in force
the same as il was prior to the passage of the
eight hour law by congress. The bell will be
rung for the laborers TO assemble ten minutes
before the hour Of labor Instead of twenty
minutes as heretofore.
Another good example Of the Secretary of
the Navy to keep within the limit of the law
and 10 do nothing without proper authority,
is witnessed in his reply to Senator Edmunds,
of Vermont asking for the service Of the
Marine Band at the Bennington celebration
v heTSiiffilh he Sc be would give. the band per-
mission to go but would not defray their OK
peuses from Government monies as no funds
were appropriated by congress for such pur-
pose
Major Bufiiugton in charge of the Arsenal
at Allegany city hns asked for court Of in
quiry' from the department here in regard to
his action during The late riots, and is very
pointed in regard TO his discretion in the prem.
Uses, saving that had the SO, 600 stand of arms
together with the powder magazine fallen into
the possession Of the rioters n the cost Of saw
ing the arsenal, the result which would have
followed would have been more disastrous tc
the Government, aud the end Of the riot no
yet reached, perhaps. DEMoCRITEs.
