in Sahara, when the fierce gale is sweeping
across it and all the camels have stuck their
noses in the sand. Such is municipal dust, just
now kicked up with uncommon vlgor'
1t may have no practical result, but sui IL
is o source of melancholy satisfaction to know
that the nuisance is properly, judiciously, elo-
quently. and scientifically discussed. Indeed,
there never was such a city as ours for DIS
cussing things. We use the whole vocabulary
of expOstulation, of wrath, of Indignation, OF
irony and of denunciatOn; metaphorically
speaking we do so blow up the Mayor and the
contractors and the commissioners and the
Controller that there would be nothing left OF
them if they were ordinary mOrtals. To make
things even they fall afoul of each other, so
that the air is thick with recriminations-and
with dust Naturally, all this does not clean
anything-it certainly does not clean the
streets The pulverizatiOns are the same; the
mud is the same; the smells are the old Ia
mlliar smells which for so many seasons have
greeted our nostrils Grinding their gritty
teeth, correspondents seize their pens and
write to us the most lamentable letters They
want to know If there is a STRENGTHENING De-
partment. Because, of course, dust means
dirt-that goes without saying. All the
response which can be made IS that
we are informed that there is such
department, but we understand that it
is embarrassed" 1t has nowhere to dump;
there are high winds-we know that well
enough-the dirt scOws dare not tempt the
wave; matters Will be mended when we have
better scows; the department feels dreadfully
about it, but we have no boats, we commission
ers and if we had boats there is still the difficulty
of no dumping place. From this we are led
to the dispiriting reflection that in this age OF
advanced nautical science the construction OF
a proper trustworthy, and sufficiently servicea-
BILE lrt-scow is moral and mechanical i'm
possibility. What the s. c. ID. wants, we are
told is $50, 900 worth of new and abe-bOdled
mud-scows. There is some talk OF burning
the street collections; but this will require
81 900 worth of furnaces! So the cry is
for increased expendiure-fOr money for more
money, and for still more money! AS II by
this time, in this city, we had not found ont
that the largest appropriations are Oftenest
mockery and q snare, a disappointment and
an aggrayation. Meanwhile, the black mud is
under foot, the air is dim with the dust, which
blows into our mouths if we open them to
complain. 1t is riddle; it is problem; it
is q mystery-a mystery of mud!

COZ. HAHPTON'S FUTURE.

Gov. Wade Hampton having been put in
full possession of the Office of Governor OF
South Carolina, and his party III the unob-
structed exercise of power, we venture to re-
mind him that the peculiar circumstances OF
his case have placed unusual responsibilities
upon him. North and South, a great deal IS
expected of HIM. He has to succeed a
very able and brilliant man, by far
the ablest Republican in the South and
to 50 improve upon Gov. Cbamhcrlain's
administration as 20 justiiy the policy of the
Democrats III deserving Chamberlain after half
commttal to him, ard their subsequent vru-
lent and relentless opposition to him. After
such campaign and so long and hard a
struggle Gov. Hampton must show, by the
contrast his administration offers to that of his
predecessor in the particulars of efficiency
honesty, economy, fidelity to public trusts
and regard for equal rights, that the
contest was worth waging and the
game actually worth the powder. 1t il
for him to demonstrate that the conservative
whites of the South can administer State af-
fairs honestly, efficiently, and economically,
upon the basis of justice and equal rights, and
to prove that the interests and the welfare of
the cOored citizens are as safe in their hands
as in those of the men who have so long
claimed to he their special champions and pro-
| tectOrs.
In a special sense Gov. Hampton has given
| bonds for his party in their treatment of the
blacks. He is the representative man of the
class of citizens from whom and whom only
| injustice and oppression toward the negroes
have been feared. He enjoys their confidence,
is held by them in the highest esteem, and
| his influence with and over them is
unbounded. Moreover, he has upon various
occasions during the past four or five
months shown his power to check lawless-
ness aud preserve order to such degree that
hereafter the publicmay reasonably expect, under
his administration, the reign of absolute order
and peace under model government. When
he took it upon himself to promise that there
should be no disturbance of the public peace
and no violence or disorder upon certain con
ditions named, it was an inferental admission
which did not escape the keen vision of hi
opponent, that the only or the chief danger
of disturbance was from his followers and sup
porters, and that his influence with the disOr
DERBY classes was sufficient to preserve the peace

whenever he had the mind to exert it. The
fact that all his agreements in behalf and In
the name of those from whom violence was
feared were carried out to the letter will be
held as proof hereafter of his ability to sup
press disorder, uphold civil law, and maintain
the rights of all citizens To this he is espe-
cially bound, not only by his oath OF ONCE ana
the obligations of personal honor. but by the
remarkable exhibition he has already given
the public of his ability to restrain the passions
of the mob, maintain justice, and establish
tranquility and peace by his mere word OF
command.
While reminding him of the large response
biities resting upon him, and the great
things which the public expects, ana as IL
seems to us has a right to expect, OF his au-
ministration, we may go further and say that
he has the cordial wishes OF the great ma
iOrity of the people of the North, and OF the
Republican party, for his success. There Is
class of schening politicians, small in number
and of waning influence, who Will rejoice III
his failure, if that should happen out
the masses of the people are not ohiy
entirely willing that he should be trusted 10
try the experiment, but anxious that ne shoulu
perfectly succeed. 1t Is easy 10 see th't 'neic
are great difficulties before him ana that sui
more formidable ones are possible than can
now be foresecn. The rough and lawless
element among his supporters may not always
be so easily controlled as IL has been during
the past few months, when there has seemed
to be so much at stake upon his own discre-
ton and the good behavior of his friends. He
may not always be able to repress tumults with
the mere word of command. He may find 1t
necessary to use force and the strong arm
where hitherto persuasion only has been sutii-
cient. However that may he, the people OF
his State and the whole country look to him
for the exercise of such sound discretion and
so just and impartial an administration OF af-
fairs as shall vindicate the wisdom of the
policy OF confidence and kindness. If the dill
culties before him unusual, he has at least
unusual incentives to diligence in surrounding
and overcoming them.

There are numberless well-recOgnized abuses
which everybody says ought to be rem
edied. but which go on with a prospect
of going on forever. They prove the
absolute iuefficiency of talk, as well as of
commissioners, of contractors, of controllers,
of those who sweep, or rather do not sweep,
and of those who might, could, would, or
should dump, if they had anything TO dump
and anywhere TO dump it. Now is IA good
time to think of ali these things, and especially
of dust. Everybody says that the streets are
in a shamefuly dusty condition, and the eyes
of everybody, red, watery, and half-blinded,
confirm the assertion. But this is one of the
most venerable complaints of the whole docket.
We have heard it ever since we can remember,
and especially we have heard it every Spring.
Yet every Spring, into the Orbs, nOstrils, ears,
and mouth of this enlightened population of
ours, during the windy activity of March and
April, have poured clouds of pulverized matter
of dried New-York mud, the constituent
elements of which we shrink from investigating.
When the wind is in one direction the dust
comes up the street; when the wind shifts the
dust shifts with it it il here, there, every

That cruel dispatch which sent thrill of dismay
throughout the Custom-house in tins city proves
that in the opinion of the Administration civil
Service Reform contemplates not only improved
methods in the selection and removal of officers
but some parental supervision of them while draw
ing salary from the National Treasury. In the por-
tcntous dispatch much circumstance was made OF
the fact that an occasional lawyer can be found III
some lnarrowy position who draws his pay with
astronomical periodicity while devoting but few
odd minutes per diem to the collection Of import
duties. But il would not require housing expor-
alton TO discover that the service is barnaced all
the way down with stipendarics who, do little else
for their money than make oath before
notary once month that they haven't
stolen ANYTHING. 1t would be pertinent to
lnuuire in the course of investigation how
much weighing is done by the weishers and how
much gauging is done by the gauger1. and it would
be of interest to compare the cxp,n account In
these departments with the amount of work ac-
tnally achieved. 1t would be an instructive prob
lem in long division to ascertain how many times
the whole number Of politicians on the payroll IS
contained in the sum total of the liberal fees for
weighing and gauging in any given month"; and
upon the basis of this quotient it would be humane
10 inquire of some responsible city weigher or
,,auper whether in his estimation the servants of
our common Uncle oppressed by their task
masters.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1877-04-13

The case of Mr.. w. b. Moore, Of the Treas
ury Department, seems to be a very curious
one. MIR. Moore was in great favor during
the last days of the Grant Administration be-
cause he had constructed powerful mud ma
chine, warranted to Kill Mr.. Brstow at forty
rods which for some reason was never al
lowed TO go oft. He was made chief OF the
Special Agents Under this Administration, he
constructed another powerful mud machine
which was to make end of Mr.
Conant and sundry other people, but which
blew TO pieces at the fiist shot, with
nobody hurt but Mr.. Moore. AS punish
ment, apparently, he has been deprived OF hls
place as chief and will hereafter be only a
plain Special Agent This is very much like
the case of the Wall-st detectives, who were
found to be taking money and were punished
by being converted into ordinary policemen.
Probably, III the one case, 1t was all the
Secretary could do, and it was certainly, III
the other, all that the Commissioners could do,
having no direct evidence; but the question
arises, How do the other plain Special Agents
and ordinary policemen like il
