an Ar,,sy Of Partisans.

In 1860 the whole force employed in the
executive departments of the United States
government was less than 500. To-day
there are more than $500 employees in the
treasury department. alone. The Republi-
cans say the increase of employees is due to
the vast increase of business. The fact is
the increase of employees is out of all pro-
portion to the increase of business, and
more than half the employees of the govern
ment either have nothing to do or can do all
their work in two hours of each day. The
vast force of 100000 officials is handled and
was organized as an army of partisans to
work for the retention of power by the Re-
publican party, and by reference to the his
tory of that organization since 1861 it will
be seen that during every year of its power
it has continued to make Offices, and useless
Offices, solely to increase the number of de-
pendents and workers.

A bunko-man had robbed a miner of $13S.
He was pointed out. With half-a-dozen
pistols at his head, he threw up both hands
and quietly took sitting. His gold watch
and chain, pistol, keys, and $3.50 were taken
from him. The $138 having been returned
to the miner, the balance was handed over
to the chairman Of the vigilance committee.
The bunko- man was then given start of
fifty yards through the principal street,

started, with dozen pistol balls tearing up
the ground behind him. 1t is supposed he
is still running. This was called stern

The debate in the Senate on the prohibi-

Mr.. Bayard will make speech. The only
speech to-day of interest was that of lMr.

done, and obtain its action on matter so
vital; that the newly elected Governor de-

of the people in their State house, from
which federal bayonets, as myself know

one of purely State concern, regarding
only the claims of State officers, anC

No Reason for In,1,,1soninD ministers.
New York Sun.

It appears by the court reports that Mr..
Edward Burt of this city is now serving out
term of imprisonment on sentence for
keeping place for rat batting.
Rat batting, if we properly understand the
term, means putting number of live rats
into pit with dog, to see how quickly the
dog will kill them. Persons interested in
determining this question go to see the per-
formance. Whether they pay for the oppor
tunity or not is wholly immaterial in moral
point of view. People pay to hear preach
ing; but that affords no good ground for the
imprisonment Of ministers.

The Heroisne of Peter Ra1'p.
ISt. Louis Republican.

There died in Cincinnati, few days ago,
a man who richly deserves the honors of
martyraom. His name was Peter Rapp.
He drove street Car, was young-only 26-
and the sole support of an aged and infrm
father and mother. The parents were un-
able to do anything. He provided them
with shelter, clothing, food and fuel. His
wages we're so small that after paying the
bills of the household he had nothing left
for himself. He could not buy even an over
coat or undergarments to protect him from
rough weather. In order to 60 out with his
car at G:30 every morning, he was obliged to
walk four and a half miles. The rules of the
company forbidding to ride without
paying fare, when not on duty, forced him
to walk back every night. Thus, in addition
to his fifteen hours of hard work, he had a
daily walk of nine miles. For two months
he never spent a single cent of his earnings.
All went home to his mother. Continued
toll, exposure and privation broke down his
health. He was attacked by quick consump.

French Punishment for adultery.

Paris Correspondence New York SUM-
A French tribunal has just sentenced a
woman to prison for six days for-adultery.
Such, it appears, is the law, though nobody
remembered it but one Border, the woman's
husband. The judge and prosecuting coun-
sci were even more earnest than the counsel
for the defense in their entreaties to him not
to have the law put in force, but he quietly
ordered them to go on. She is dying with
consumption, and he wants to have her
stigmatized with disgraceful punishment
while there is yet time. He has had to wait
for his chance. He beat her for six years
before she gave him any cause of offense,
and he has been setting her the example OF
the particular sin in question all through
their married life; but that, it seems, does
not count in the code. And quite right; any
other provision, especially in France, would
land our jurists in Burke's difficulty of
drawing up an Indictment agains ma
