A CALIFORNIA JUDGE ON THE IL
UOR BUSINESS. Judge Johnson, in
passing sentence on a murder, said
"Nor shall the place be forgotten in
which occurred this shedding of blood.
1t was in one of the thousand ante
chambers of hell, which mar, like
plague spots, the fair faces Of our
State. You need not be told that l
mean a tippling shop, the meeting
place of Satan's minions, and the foul
cesspool by spontaneous generation,
breeds and nurtures all that is loath-
some and disgusting, in profanity and
babbling, in vulgarity and Sabbath
breaking. L would not be the owner
of groggery for the price of the globe
converted into precious ore. For the
pitiful sum of dime he furnished the
poisons which made the deceased d
fool, and this trembling culprit dem
on. How paltry this price of two hu-
man livesl This traffic is tolerated by
law, and therefore the Yender has COM
mitted an offence not cognizAble by
earthly tribunals. But in the sight of
God, he who deliberately furnishes the
intoxicating draught which infames
men to anger and bloodshed is parti-
cepS criminis in the turpitude of the
dead.''
Is it not high time tilSt the sinks of
vice and crime should be rightly ac-
couGtable in the law of the land, and
placed under the ban of an enlighten-
ed and virtuous puplic opinion?

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, D. G. Oct. Goth, 1880.
When this administration took
charge of the country, Secretaries Ev-
arts and SchuTz were selected as spe-
cial guardians Of the civil service re-
form boom which it was proposed TO
inaugurate. 1t is tradition among
newspaper men here that these two
statesmen met, took their wine, smok-
ed, winked at each other. and adjourn
ed sine die. AS managers of civil SER
vice reform they have had no second
meeting. The Secretary of State has
kept in Sc ryice the employees he found
on duty when he first went into the
State Department building, appoint
ing or recommending, now and then,
some one person when another per-
son died. The Secretary of the Inter
ior has done the same, only he has
kept up STOW of holding "compete-
tive examinations" for places. These
examinations, however have had lit
tie if any effect On the personnel of the
Office. Ability to write German is
and has been for nearly four years
passport for a position under the Sec
retary.
So far as the official duties of Secre-
tary EVarts are concerned, suppose
he might as we'll have lived on his
Vermont farm during his term of SER
vice as in the city. The country
would do just as well without d Secre-
tary of State, and without Foreign
Ministers. So the numerous and pro-
longed absences 0 f the Secretary have
done no harm. With the other figure
head of reform the case is different.
The position of Secretary of the Inter
ior furnishes work for not only one

EXGOV. CURTIN.

1t affords us the most unfeigned
pleasure TO state that Gov. Curtin is
triumphantly elected to congress.
His majority will be large, although we
can not now give even approximate fig
ures. The far-famed Goth district will
be proud of her representative in the
national legislature. His great ability
and experience, his thorough knowl-
edge of the wants of the people Of his
state, his ardent devotion of the prin-
ciples of protection, all combine to
make him the leading member in the
Pennsylvania delegation, if not of the
House.

but several men of first class ability.
The Interior Department is an aggre-
cation OF Depal tments. The Pension,
Patents, and Indiana Bureaus, if their
work were to be supervised, would
each furnish employment for Mr..
Schmz. To say nothing of his own
frequent and tlagrant absenses from
his post, his last one,--I might say
his present one-ShoWs him to be not
only an insincere "civil service reform
er" but man regardless Of pledges
and who cares little for the perform
ance of duties for which he draws Fay.
1t may be that we have escaped war
with the Utes, though that is not yet
by any means certain, but if we have,
our escape is due to the gentlemen
performing the duties of Secretary of
the Interior lately, and not TO the Sec
retary himself.
Messrs. Evarts and Schurz have not
been the greatest offenders among the
Cabinet officers Of Mr.. Hayes. l men
tion them only because they were Sc
lected to give the administration a
character for reform" Each of the
Secretaries is now consenting to a
fraud by which hundreds of govern
ment employees are absent from the
city, with regular pay, for such indef-
mite space of time as the employees
may think nee essary, in the interest
of General Garfield. If General Han
cock shall be elected on Tuesday next
he ought to form two resolutions.
First, not to take any professional
"reformers" into his Cabinet, and sec
ond, tosee that the civil service of The
government is thoroughly reformed.

has been placed in the hands of the presi
dent to be accepted at his pleasure. Mr.
Thompson has accepted position ON the
board of directors of the Panama canal
project. Colonel Phelps. who is interested
in the Nicaragua canal project, made a
protest to President Hayes against Thomp-
sons acceptance of the offer Of the Pan
ANA company. The gentlemen managing
the Nicaragua scheme have bill for cor
poration ready to be presented in congress
on Monday.
ARMY news from Washington is to the
effect that a new division is to be created
comprising the departments of Texas and
Arizona and a portion Of the department
of Missouri, and Gen. Schoheld to be as
signed to the command. Gen. O. O. How
ard will not return to the department of
the Columbia, bat whether he will be as
signed to West Point is still undetermined
1t is thought, however. that he will be
presented to the rank of ma or-general. in
place of Gen. Mcdowell, to be retired.
A WASHINGTON dispatch of the 18th says
the attention n of Secretary Thompson was
called to the fact that discussion had
arisen regarding the application Of the
Monroe doctrine to the canal enterprise.
He said that when it came to question
of absorption Of the slightest portion of
any territory Of the Central American
states. he would go as far as any one to
prevent it and would be in favor of using
all the power of the United States to that
end. He added that the construction of
the Panama canal involved no antagonism
to the traditional policy of this country or
necessarily any contest for control of route
The oject is one of private enterprise
only and there can je no more reasonable
objection to the bulk of this ca pital or
even all of it being subscribed by citizens
of European countries than there is to
the use Of foreign capital in other enter
prises.
