A special dispatch from Washing.
ton to the Philadelphia Times, on Fri
day, the goth, says; Senator Wallace
is here to take a hand in the fight be.
tween the lumbermen of the Chippewa
river proper and those who, it is claim
cd, are obstructing the navigation Of
that stream by floating loose logs from
the upper waters. The Senator has
interests in that Wisconsin trade. The
suit is of long standing. A hearing
was had today before the Attorney
General, when the case was presented
on the part of the Chippewa dealers
by Judge Villas, Of Madison, and in be-
half Of the Mississippi river lumber
men, as they are called, by ex.Con.
gresham Hawley, Of Rock Island.
The defendants urge that as the mat.
ter involves private interests the gov
ernment should dismiss the petition.
Senator Wallace will appear for the
Chippewa men tomorrow, and Judge
Wright, of Winona, for the other side,

The "CIvL SERVICE. The leading
members in the Hayes Reform move
ment, do some very crooked things,
for high toned men. As an instance
the New York Sun makes very good
point by publishing the fac SMILES Of
the face and endorsement of two
drafts drawn to Zach Chambers order
for $4,000 each, dated September 18th
1876, and paid to r. B. Hayes. They
prove conclusively that of the money
collected from oflloe.holders last fall
Hayes got $4,000 for his own use, and
either spent 1t to elect himself, or tC
aid Tilden, or pocketed it. The last
two theories, are OF course, rejected
and there remains for the consolation
of the opponents Of civil service re.
form the stupcndous fact that Hayes
conduct last fall was a monumental OK
ample OF the very practice that he

The BLOODY HowARD.-That emf
nent "Christian General" Howard, Of
negro bureau notoriety has again
electrified the country by announcing
that he has extinguished the Indians
in the region in which he now holds
supreme command. His details OF
the fight with the Idaho Chief, Joseph,
are very bloody indeed. Later reports
however, seem TO indicate that Joseph
played off q wicked game on Howard
after ALL He was in tight place and
wanted time, so he proposed surrender,
and held parley with the squaw-cap.
turing Howard. While the terms Of
the surrender were under discussion
the Indians, regardless of the status
quo, rode off in safety. As soon as
they were gone Joseph babe the gore
compelling Howard goodbye. He re-
marked, however, to the truce -palaver-
ing Howard, as he rode of, that he
would come back next day and sur
render, and the heart of Howard was
full Of curses and bitterness by reason
OF the wicked and deceitful game
which Joseph had worked off upon him.

"Too MucHEE DAM -CHIN."-
Those who became so highly offended
at Democrats a few years ago for crit
icising the administration, are really
becoming adopts at the business. Not
long since the President was termed
"the government" and the man who
spoke disrespectfully OF the President,
was pronounced "a traitor" rebel, or
some other ugly thing. Now this
crime is turned into grace, and the
leading loyal organ is now upbraiding
athe government with all its ability.
The New York Tribune, in q late issue,
said
"Thc public is finding the same faalt with the
civil service reform that tho Chnaman found
with his lawyer; TOO HucnKE Dam cnIs-onis.' "
at would have been a great piece Of good luck
for him fsisyesl IL Gen. Carl SchurE had been
practicing reform 10 the interior department. Ia
stead Of preaching the millennium in New York
or Boston,"
II am 'spifitualst, said Otyer johnson,
but am not damned fool We are civil SER
vice reformers, but we do not expect impossibili-
ties, and are sadly conscious that the millennium
has not yet arrived"
The reader will observe the gall and
the bitterness in this allusion to Hayes,
who has made some effort to protect
and defend the Constitution and the
rights of the States since he was
boosted into power by gang of the
most corrupt men that ever disgraced
this or any other Continent. Yet, for
acting half right, the editor of the
Tribune stabs "thc government" in the
back.

Truth BY AccIDENT.-The editor OF
the Philadelphia Press, Col Forney,
occasionally blunders on the truth,
when abiding to his party. For in
stance he asks;
"Why was It that the Republican party in the
South was constantly growing less and less
and that pretty much all the white element
had left It Had not the proceedings Of the Re-
publican Legislatures, the corrupt practices Of
the carpet -bsggers and the general political de-
moraliIation they provoked, something to do
with this Great majorities have dwindled awa ay
in the Northern States from the same causes
Corruption and incnpAcity will not long be tolcr-
fted in any party"
The opponents of Hayes Southern
policy will please stuff that "side wipe"
into their pipes and smoke it, aud
credit Mr.. Forney for his truthful re.
mark. He knows the fatality by
corrupt partizans are surrounded.
Having assisted in corrupting both the
Democratic and Radical party up to
the breaking down point, he speaks
from practical experience and is just
the man to believe, while writing out
his confession.

An EXCELLENT ORDER.-The follow.
ing order, issued by Mr. ]. A. Ander-
son, Superintendent of the Belvidcro
Division, Pennsylvania Railroad Co.,
will explain itself; Foremen and others
who employ men in the different de-
partments, are expected to secure those
Of correct personal character and hab-
its. Those who spend time and money
in drinking places, or are addicted to
other idle and immoral practices, are
less able to render good service than
sober and moral men, and safety and
economy require that they should not
be employed. Employees who persist
in such habits must be dismissed The
attention of such cmploye should be
called TO this.

FIXED AT LAsr.-Gen. Adam Ba.
deau was Grants biographer, for
which his master gave him the richest
Consulship (at LivcrpooD in bis gift.
He is one Of the "innocents abroad"
who helped to get up those big rcccp.
tions in England. Adam now travels
with him but ,herc is no fuss made
over either outside Of England. Now
we know just what General Badeau's
position is. We know II from his own
signature on letter addressed to the
Mayor Of Birmingham, who had in
vited General Grant TO visit that city.
Badeau replies TO the invitation in his
capacity as "Brcvct Brigadior General,
in attendance" This is but the finest
touch yet. Adam, like Grant, never
resigned his position in the army, and
both are now wearing their uniforms
while scampering over Europe.

How THE WORLD WAos.-Forty
years ago the leaders of the opposition
party crucified all the Masons they
came across and carried on crusade
against that fraternity in this State
which almost resulted in war. Now,
the Chairman of the State Committee
of the same party, is compelled to
postpone the holding of State Con.
vention, because too many of the dele.
gates are members Of the order, and
want to attend gathering Of Masons
at Cleveland, Ohio, which occurs at
the same time. What a jewel consist.
ency is, anyhow.
