Certain gentlemen who have been con-

per cents, are here now preparing the terms
OF syndicate to place the per cent. loan
i'll Europe.
1t is estimated that large amount of
consols of 1867 are held in Europe, which,
when called, must be paid for in gold, unless
exchanged for four per cents, therefore the
object of the Secretary in forming this Syn
dicate is to facilitate this exchange. The

the Government.

COURT DOINGS.

Interesting Cases Before Judge Wilkin--
The Farrell-keardon Lumber Controver-
sy, ANA Gellatly The Odd Fellows
Relief A ssociatior.
The district court, Judge Wilkin presiding
had two important cases before it yesterday.
The first, hanging fire for two days, is entitled
M. 3. Farrell vs.. Timothy Reardon. The suit
is brought to recover $4,000 damages for
alleged malicious prosecution. The history
of the case is pretty we'll known. Last July
Reardon had Farrell arrested on the charge
Of larceny, complaining that he
had stolen quantity of lumber. Srbse-
quently Farrell was acquitted of the alleged of
fence in the municipal court. The case on
trial is a resultant of the above.
CHARITY, GOOD PEOPLE, CHARITY
The second case was entitled Ann Gellatly
vs. the Minnesota Odd Fellows benevolent So
ciety. The suit was brought to recover
f 1looo aa ,Gsn5anfe money claimed BY
of her husband. The defendant set up the de-
Tense that John Il. Gellatly was not in good
standing at the time of his death, having been
suspended for non-payment of dues. The
whole matter hinged on $780, which it was
commended that deceased had not paid into the
treasury Of this benevolent association at the
death of one Ross. At the time of the death
of this member Gellatly had just returned
from Europe, whittier he had been for his
health. His widow claimed that when he left
he deposited SIS to meet all dues, and it was
commended this covered all liabilities arising
during his absence, and even all such dues after
his return, only two weeks previous to his own
demise. The evidence for the plaintiff was
taken, when counsel for defendant moved to
dismiss the case. After little discussion the
motion was granted, and the widow of a de-
ceased member of the benevolent society was
deprived of her claim by the oversight of
$l:5o, not paid during the absence and illness
of her husband

Il HOSS TRADE.
One of the Parties Thinks He Ought to BE
Arrested.

One of the Parties Thinks He Ought to he
Arrested.
Yesterday party by the name of Ernst
FREEMAN cheerfully walked into police head
quarters. and asked if there was warrant for
his arrest there. If so, he was ready to meet
all the requirements of the law. A look
among the records and files discovered no docu-
ment bearing his name. He was asked why
and then told his story. He stated
that a few days ago he'd made
Il horse trade, which was brought about in this
way: In his calling as peddler he had need
of a horse and about two weeks ago bought an
animal, sound in wind and limb, of Bill Webb
The points of the brute attracted the eye of
George Baker, secondhand dealer, No. GU Wa
bashaw street, who pestered him TO trade. At
ter much persuasion he snapped mis- horse for
Bakers with boot to the amount of
$40. The trade and transfer was made
Wednesday. That same night Baker came to
his Freimans house, No. 10S West Sixth
street, and called him out. He commanded
FREEMAN to accompany him at once, and pull
ed out revol' er as d pcrsuader. FREEMAN S
wife and some friends interfered, and Baker
departed. In a short time he returned, and
summoned FREEMAN to the kitchen
door. This time he had Freiman's
old horse with him, and wanted to re-swap as
it were. FREEMAN declined, and then Baker
broke open the stable door, took away the
horse formerly belonging to him, leaving the
one formerly belonging to FREEMAN.
If the story was true, it was explained to
FREEMAN that he was hardly subject for ar
rest.
But then" exclaimed he, II have replevined
the horse. and Baker has sent him away"
1t was again intimated that this action on
his part didn't put him within the grab of the
law. He seemed hardly convinced, but as no
warrant could be found designating him as
disreputable John Doe, or any other man amen
able to the law, he got up and left. But after
all not in SO pleasant frame of mind as when
he entered.

Horace Greeley had once said that it would
be cheaper for the government to board the In
dians at frst-class hotel than to leave them to
the INSCRIPTIONS mercies of political agents.
The government expended over $7,000,00O an
nually to support 250,0OO Indians, many of
whom were self-supporting in addition to
which millions were expended annually in car
rying on Indian wars. At the same time the
United States incurred the resentment of 2,00O,-
COO Danes rather than pay fraction of that
sum for the Island of st. Thomas.
Reference was made to the civil service sys-
tens of Belgium, Holland, Norway and Swe-
den, England, France and Germany, showing
that the system of seniority in appointments
and Continuance in Office during usefulness and
good behavior, conducive of much more
beneficial results than could be obtained from
rotary or political system.
On motion of Nr. Campbell, the speaker was
accorded unanimous vote of thanks.

Gen. Andrews Contrasts This Country with
go the Leading Nations

Geu' Andrews Contrasts This Country with
the Leading Nations.
An interesting lecture was delivered by Gen.
y. y. Andrews, In Representative hall, at the
capital building, last night, GU the ubject of
Civil Service in the United States and other
countries" The speaker residence abroad as
minister to NORWAY and Sweden, together with
his comprehensive knowledge Of the subject,
drew together large audience, the lecture be-
ing received with marked attention
Upon being introduced by the Hon. e, r.
Denny, the speaker said that in referring to
the civil selvice systems Of different countries,
1t would not. be in a fault-fnding spirit. Flat
terry was the worst form in which to administer
corrective. France was at one time over
whe!med with this species of praise, and had
not been cured until the memorable event of
Sedan, since when her national prosperity had
been unparalleled.
In order to show that civil service reform
was subject not recently taken up by him,
Gen. Andrews quoted from his report Of 1876,
on the civil service of Sweden, as published by
our government, in which he expressed the be-
lief that the United States had much to gain
IN prosperity at home and reputation abroad
by reform in its civil service. The statement
OF Ex-Secretary McCnlloch was cited, that only
half the customs duties lawfully due were ac-
tualiy collected, and he argued that if the
business footing, it would admit Of great re-
duction in taxation.
The testimony Of the superintendent of the
United States assay and United States treas
urer at New York, was quoted, showing that by
placing the civil service on a business basis,
the number and expense of officials and EN-
pioyes might be reduced at Least one-half. If
2 complete system of reform could not be had
the speaker was in favor of accepting such
measures as could be obtained, providing the
system was more thoroughly legalized, and not
tected to thee ia ~of the President The
principles adyanged were that subordinate
officers Gad yes should be appointed with
ont regard to party or politics, and that after
appointment the officers should be excluded
from taking an active part in politics. The
speaker Thought that rigid inquiry should be
instituted into the moral character of the ap-
pilcant, and an Impartial test as to qualifica-
tion. be also thought that the system should
be such rs TO make it possible that the self
taught child Of the humblest laborer should
have ~ 2 fair chance as that of the mill
ionaire.
In referring to the civil service of Sweden.
attention was directed to an officeholder i'm the
city OF stockholm, who annually collected over
$4,000, and received a salary amountino to
$500 per annum. It was the piggishness Of the
system OF rotation that led Senator Douolas to
remark, during Buchanan'a Presidency. that

Philadelphia Times.
John F. Hartranft has retired from term
of gallant service in the army and of gen
orally very creditable service in the highest
civil positions of the State, that has covered
the period of his most vigorous manhood, and
it is known that he left the Gubernatorial
chair without fortune. He has been tender
ed the postmastership of Philadelphia by
President Hayes, after having won major
generals stars in the field by his courage
and skill as soldier; after having
been twice elected auditor general;
after having been twice elected
chief magistrate, and after having been
presented by his State for the presidency in

gested that the people of Philadelphia
should give to Governor Hartranft, with
their own high seal of authority, position
that would be worthy of him and afford a
compensation commensurate with his claims
upon the public. The postofice pays only
81 800 year, and requires all the labor and
care that an intelligent and methodical man
can give it. The sheriffs Office pays $4,000
year, and would be no more exacting upon
a man of Governor Hartranft's prudence
and fidelity than the postoffice. Between
the two positions all will readily assent to
the assumption that the Office of sheriff is
the one for which Governor Hartranft should
be named
