WASHINGTON, May l0-Considerahle
feeling has been occasioned by the report
Of a lecture lately delivered in Baltimore
by the negro marshal OF the district,
Fred Douglass, in which he ISLANDERS the
white people of this city in the foulest
terms malignity could suggest. The
Criminal Court of the district is now in
session; and if the pretense Of civil
service reform were anything but q sham
this marshal wozld be now here appear
ing at least to attend to his duties. The
administration, however, is scquiescent,
while Douglass is running around the
Northern States abusing the people
against whose protest he was forced into
his position. Mr.. Columbus Alexander,
who was so eager to 60 on his bond as
marshal, it is now said, is about to with
draw. Douglass was selected for no
other reason than his being a negro and
a Radical stump speaker.
Il GOVERNMENT PRINTER.
Some Of the parties connected with
the ring which has been running the gov
ernment printing. Office are trying to
smirch Mr.. John D. Defrees, The newly
appointed superintendent. The National
Republican shows that these charges
have no foundation, AMI the most uni.
yersal comment on Mr.. Defrees' appoint
ment is that it was eminently fit to be
made. No branch Of the public service
needs reform more than this bureau.

CHAPTER II.
EDWARD BOLTON REVERE.

To nGrrate the busy life of that happy
| household during the year following their
reunion, In such home as invisible
power made for them; and to recount the
conversations and plans which prepared
in Saul Macys library, for various works
Of business and usefulness outside of their
lot" would consume too many pages for a
story like ours. Moss Cohen, in his bust
ness as a diamond merchant, disposed of
gem, after gem, at good prices; and his
wise counsel with Captain HoOper's honest
shrewduess, assisted Macy not q little in
the way of investment. Amelia Macy be-
came the pet Of her ancient "betrothed,
without stirring her grandfather jealousy,
though both old gentlemen sighed, some
times, in looking on her lovely form and
face, to think that Nature must inevitably
bring some hand, one day, to pluck away
that lairest flower Of Saul Macyfs garden.
Amelia had been at home eleven months,
when, one day a letter came, and she took
it, after perusing it, to her mother. Susfe's
brown eyes ran over the bold hand-writ-
ing, till she came to the end, and read the
signature, Edward Bolton Revere
That's an old Massachusetts name,"
Susie said.
''He is from Boston, said Amelia, in
low voice, with her eyes downcast.
"Where did you become acquainted with
him, my daughter ?''
lie was engaged at his business in the
village, and boarded where some of our
schoolgirls did; and he walked home with
me, two or three times, when l went down
from the Seminary to visit them"
That was the whole story; the common
simple way of beginning courtship when
no "etiqutte" interyenes and no match
making or match-breaking relative add
their Offices, good or bad. t'He walked
home with me first might be the begin
ming Of nine lOYe-stOries out of ten, when
schoolgirls, or poor teachers. or visiting
young ladies, narate their experience.
. Is he good young man ?" Blessed
Susie Macy She never thought that, if
Amelia were interested in Mr.. Revere the
question would, very likely be answered
aiIrnatiyely La her natural mind she did
not think Of inquiring if he were a rich
young man.
Amelia looked up in her mothers face,
and said calmly:-''He appeared to be
good
''You don't care for him, Amelia -
Chow could |, mamma? We only met
three times-yes he met me, just before
he left town"
''You said he was engaged in business
there - said Susie.
''No, mother he was engaged in
some machine works on the railroad 20
''He was working at his trade, my daugh-
ter? ?" said the milliOnairs's wife Amelia's
face and neck became crimson.
Yes, mother - she answered.

"Oh, mother he isn't common me-
chanic at all He is really well edu-
Gated, and you see what fine hand he
writes!"
"And writes poetry !" said the mother.

makes a distinct charge against Judge
Bradley, of the electoral commission, to
the effect that he wrote out his opinion
and read it to Justices Field end Clifford,
the conclusion being thai the votes of the
Tilden electors in Florida were the only
ones which ought to be counted as COM
ing from that state. During that night
Justice Bradley's house was surrounded
by the carriages Of visitors, who came to
see him apparently about the decision of
the commission. These visitors included
leading republicans as well as persons
deeply interested IN railroad schemes.
The next day, the eight-to-seven decision
was given, which secured the presidency
to Mr. Hayes. 1t seems to us that Amer
lea IS not large enough for the New York
Sun and Justice Bradley since this state
ment has been published. fit is not true

Illinois and went 10 California. The elder
was man of steady habits, and had re
ceived good business education. but the
younger was inclined to be dissipated, and. g.
indeed had figured in SO many scrapes at
home that his departure WAS not regret-
ted in his native village. The two broth
erS lived fora short time in San Francisco
while they looked for situations. The
younger brother, however, fell into bad
company, and they separated by mutual
consent The elder brother obtained a
situation in wholesale store as porter.
and by his diligence and steadiness so
worked himself into the confidence of his
employers that he rose from the position
Of porter to that Of partner in the firm.
he lately purchased a house III Bush

EFFEcTs OF THE WAR on BREApsrUFFs. -
The New York Tribune of August l3 has
the following; Those who expected the war
in-the East To cause al immediate increased
demand for American breadstuffs as well as
an advance in their prices, have thus far been
disappointed. England has certainly i'm
ported more wheat and -four since Russia de-
clared war against Turkey than before, but
Russia at the same time has increased Its ex-
port Of these same commodities to England
IN a wonderful degree. For instance, the re-
turns Of the British Board Of Trade show
that the Importation Of wheat from Rnssia
mo England during the month OF June last,
amounted to -, l4O, 600, while the CORE
spending month Of lS16, was only SS65, 600.
The London EcoR9H3iS, IN discussing these
figures, attributes the comparatively large
supplies OF wheat received IN England from
the East to the effect Of the war In fastening
the dispatch of all available gram from the
disturbed territory, some OF II coming by rall
through Germany by way OF Marsellles.
That II was the war, the editor OF the Econ
e1llsf continues, and not the recent rise III
prices which gave this impulse to consign-
ments OF grain from abroad may be gathered
from the TACT that the monthly imports Of
wheat from the undis1urbed countries, nOtS-
by America, are much less instead OF
greater, notwithstanding the high prices
Another cause assigned Tor increased exports
nom Russia Is the depreciation OF domestic
paper money Ii that country.
