The country will be surprised to
hear hat Judge Hilton, the execu-
tor of A. T.. Stewards estate, has
forbidden the entertainment of Jcws
at the hotels belonging to that
estate, one of which is at Saratoga
and the other at Garden City, Long
Island. There are pleasant Jews
and unpleasant Jews, just as there
are agreeable Christians and dis
gushing Christians, but the whole
sale exclusion of the former people
from a place of public entertain
ment is an insult to them and an
outrage upon decency and justice
which ought to be resented by every
respectable man. 1t is the fruit Of
the same prejudice which in the
dark ages subjected the Jews to
shameful persecution, and which
still fingers in semi barbarous
countries, to produce oppres-
sion and wrong, In such an
age, and in such places it may
be excused but there is no excuse
for it in this country and in this
age. Men of wisdom and sense
learned long ago to scorn it, to rec
ognize the greatness of the Jewish
race, its Importance to Christianity
aud the wonderful manner in which
it has contributed to the array OF
the worlds men Of genius. Only
the ignorant and vulgar have feel
ings Of luminosity for the race, and
Judge Hilton, we fear, must be
Chased among them. We can fix
his status without difficulty when
we remember that a few years ago,
rs a New York Park Commission.
eF, he ordered that some valuable
fossils belonging to the Museum
should be thrown out as useless old
bones, and that a skeleton of a mas.
tOdon, put together with great care
by Mr.. Waterhouse Hawkins, should
be daubed with whitewash.

CiyiI service Rsf.rm.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-It ia thought
that at least a week will elapse before
the civil service reform rules will be
ready for PRONUNCIATION. From private
utterances OF the President it is inferred
that all federal officers will be prohibited
from taking active part in political man
ifeStatious, becoming members Of yoiiti
cal conventions or serving as members
Of political committees. The President,
in a recent. conversation on the sub
jeot, said that while the enforcement of
such a rule might and probably would
work some injury to the Republican par
ty for q little while to come, il was sound
in principle, and he would insist upon its
being strictly observed. Ia the end, be
thought the Republican party would be
beneftedl by it. It was brought to- the
Presidents attention yesterday, that in
the large Atlauiic cities like Boston,
New York and Baltimore, manipulation
of Republican primary elections had fol
years been mainly directed by custom
house officials. The President said he
was pretty well oognizant Of all tbeg;
facts, and the time had soae when there
must be a change, BE had no objection

Major A. NJ. Hancock, of Hartford

the President, from this city, his
resignation. He has been home for
several weeks on a furlough, and

bic one, especially in the winter,
when there are many American aud
English visitors. 1t is a seaport
city belonging to Spain, situated on
the Mediterranean. 1t is Co E.. N.
L. Of Gibraltar, to which place a
steamer sails every day. The latter
place is a pleasant one, socially, ow-
ing to the military society, among
whom balls and parties are frequent.
1t is sixty miles from Grenada and
ninety from Cordova, and was for
mrrly the principal seaport of the
old Moorish kingdom Of Grenada.
Many of the Moorish features still
remain. 1t co ltains now 100, 900
people, mostly Spanish. Last year
it exported to the United States
1,4O0, 900 boxes ofraisins and 10000
boxes of lemons; the entire value
of its exports TO the United States
was So, 900, 900. Large quantities
of wine are shipped to South Amer
lea. The United States consumes
about two thirds of the whole raisin
crop. There is also a large export
to this country of liquorice root and
paste. During the war thousands
of tons Of lead were sent to the
United States. The mountains
around Malaga for a distance of
sixty miles are filed with rich lead,
iron and other minerals. The place
is healthy for adults, but the NOR
tality among children is very great.
The thermometer all the year round
ranges from s5 to s. degrees. La
Dor is very cheap, carpenters receiv-
ing sixty cents per day, bricklayers
forty cents per day, and farm la
borers in winter from fifteen to
twenty cents and in summer thirty
cents. The cost Of living is FORUM
ately low. Montilla, the highest
grade Of sherry, can be purchased
for fifteen cents per bottle, and
Valdepenos, a fine red wine, at seven
cents per bottle. Other tropical
products at the same low prices.
The consulship pays about $1,000
per annum ; so a fine opportunity
is presented for some patriot to serve
he country.

Effect of the Arkansas Bonds De.
cfaiOn.

Little Rock Gazette. l6th.l
By the decision of the Supreme
Court, delivered by Judge Walker.
and published in fun in yesterdays
Gazette, it ia held that the act Of
the Legislature under which the
railroad aid bonds were issued was
unconstitutional and void. The
bonds, as the court holds, although
issued by the governor as agent and
representative of the State, are void,
even ia the hands of innocent pur-
chasers, from the fact that there
was no power to contract at the
time they were issued.
Che effect Of this decision is TO
relieve the State of s., 359, 900, the
original amount Of the bonds, with
a loss Of nearly half a million which
has been paid as interest by the diff
ferent roads. The court declares il
was san act of folly" on the part Of
the State to pay interest on bonds
which in themselves are Yoid-that
the railroads are in no manner re-
sponsible and under no obligation
to redeem such coupons.
What effect this decision NAV
have on the remaining bonded in
debtedness of the State is yet to be
seen. The State will likely be
charged Ia aowe quarters with.the
odium Of reputation, yet, in The
language Of the court, sit is re.

payment, because not being a con.
tract there can be no Reputation

Yesterday does not materially OF

who deserve the same fate. The
most Of them we're desperate, reck-

committed murder as cOOlly as
they would sit down to dinner.
Their particular spite seems to
have been directed against the own

decided upon the death of a man
some one or two was elected to per-
form the deed, and this was always

sherifs, constables, policemen or
detectives interfered with the
clan he was quietly put out
of the way, and for many
years detection was impossible.
Such was the popular dread of them
that witnesses dared not testify
against them. They were first be-
trayed by one Of Pinkerton's de-
tectives who was sent there from
Chicago and joined the order. He
remained so long that his employers
became suspicious of him, and at
the same time he was watched so
closely by the Mollies that cOmmu-
nication with the outside world was
extremely hazardous. He was even
elected once to murder a man,
but feigned sickness, or somehow
got out Of it. So he reported. FL
nally, when he had accumulated
sufficient proof to convict, he made
his escape, and furnished facts and
proof that led to bold measures
