Defective Plumbing.

EdttOr Sar:-I notice In your bright paper
some days since where you make mention OF a
Dill for the appointment of guides, &c. Now,
this bill Is, believe, necessity, but q bill OF
vastly more importance to the citizens and per-
sons erecting houses In this city Is the bill for
the appointment OF an INSPECTOR OF Plumbing
for this District As you are aware, there
are now being erected here some Of the finest
and most expensive private houses In some of
these buildings the plumbing work is being lit
terally bOtched by unprincipled mechanics who
have TO take their work so low from the build
ers that they actually cannot pay their material
Dllls and labor, and Of course skin their work
at every turn. They throw In their pipes in
any manner and cover them up out or view as
soon as possible; more especially the drain and
SOIL pipes, and there is no one to check them in
their Vfllainous work. The architect is not 60
IL & TO crawl over jOfstS and climb long ladders
10 examine the work, and II he did so the
chances are ten to one that he could not
detect the fraud, not having the practiced eye
the inspector OF plumbing should have. This
officer should be a thoroughly practical and In
tellfgent plumber, who would enforce regula-
tons for the proper erection of soil and drain
pipes without fear or favor. 1t is to be hoped.
then. that our honorable and efficient Commits
s1oners VIII urge the passage of this bill, as 1t
Is well known fact that what have said about
this natter is true In every sense.

The Situation in Maine.

It looks much as if blood would be
spilled in Maine. Notwithstanding the
braggadocia speech of Blaine that there
was no likelihood of a rupture. It is q
sad state of affairs when political feeling
reaches that point, that conflict is forced,
to decide the merits of political claimants,
and everybody, no matter what be their
private opinions, will regret that feeling
runs so high. IF anarchy be the result in
Maine, the blame must and will rest with
the Republican party. The legislature
which chose Joseph L. Smith governor, is
undou btedly the legal Legislature of Maine
1t was the regularly certifeated body, and
at its organization had 76 regularly certif-
Gated members present in the house and
10 in the senate quorum of the whole
number elected. Its organization
was effected in accordance with
the constitution, and the refusal of the
Republican members to take part in no
way vitiated it's claim to legality. There
were present legal majority of all the
members, and the action of the body in
electing governor and other officers was
strictly legitimate. The Republican party
after undisputed sway for more than 20
years. with the greed for holding on to the
Offices which that party exhibits on all
occasions, declined to give up the power
they had been abusing, and which the
people had decreed they must yield. After
securing trumped up opinion of the sap
preme court and quasi endorsement of
what they termed the ''people" organized a
trump" legislature and like "a thief in
the night" sneaked into the state house
and organized what may be tersely term
ed. Hell in Maine. This Republican
trump caucus. went through the farce of
electing Fgovernor, and found a ready
tool in Davis, who was declared the
legal governor of Maine. The subsldiz-
ed partisan associated press was brought
into play, and highly colored reports
were wired throughout the country,
Of SO called rejoicing, etc., among
the people, With the all the pomp of a
monarch. Davis began his role as usurper.
His first act was 10 fill the state
house with armed men and then
lock the doors against the 1aw

state of affairs has continued for about ten
days and now the clash is about to come
For this state of anarchy and for the rule
or ruin policy of the Republican party in
Maine, Mr.. Blaine and his co-conspirators
are alone responsible Should trouble
come, they will be responsible for the
blood of the innocent duDes who followed
their advice-they will stand before the
people as criminals, with the stained gar
ments of their victims as evidence of the
gully part they took in the advocacy Of

A Patriotic Appeal.
Memphis (Tenn.) Appeal.


I'VE have appealed to the party Of
Hayes and Grant to take counsel of intel
ligence and not of sectional passion, and
to regard us, as we are, of the same coun-
try, sharing the same destiny, and having
no interests to subserve by or under the
federal government that all tother sections
of the country are not to be benefited by.
We appeal to them again. We appeal to
whose coming made liberty certain, to
make issue with us, tissue must be made,
upon questions alone that are pertinent to
the general welfare. We'appeal TO them
to give up sectionalism; to forego the lux
ury of villifyiDg the south. to begin from
this day forth to regard US as brethren OF
the same family. citizens of the same re-
nublic-men at least as honest as them
selves in intention and in act, in upholdiDg
a common civilization and in support of
the federal authority"
