As the mouthpiece and echo OF
the sentiments of William II.
Koontz, Esq, the Commercial asserts
that frequent change Of all officials
is necessary TO the public good.
What has it got to say TO the fact
that the brother-in-law Of It's patron
saint (Koontz), has held Office con-
tinuously at Washington since the
DAYS of the Buchanan administra-
ton?
We know shat this gentleman
(Mr. Johnson is a most worthy
and estimable man, and doubtless q
very competent official, whom we
have no desire TO see removed, but
Reformer Koontz can't "run with
the hare and hold with the hounds
and he ought Immediately to de-
mand his official head at the hands
Of the President.

DoBrrLEss that the few but select
readers OF The CJmmerciaI have l. n
astonished at the persiss ncy with
which Ed B. Scull has been pursued
and blackguagded by its professod
stonycreek correspondent. The arh-
cles were written in this town. and
the cowardly sSgundrcl who pens
them, knew that the n.an he was
assaalting has been lying Il. in
Baltimore for the pas. month, and
hence was unable TO take his own
part
The object OF the articles has how,
ever come 10 the surface. Unable
to assign any other reason for the
removal Of Mr.. Scull as Collector
they were written and publish
ed, that the charges contained
therein might be laid before tho
authorities at Washington, by tllc
sweet trio who have been making
war on the Collector, as evidence OF
home public sentiment.
Can our readers take in the fpli.

BEaAx, March 30-The Reich
stag to-day discussed the govern
ment resolution relative to tie en-
forcement of the Socialist iaw. Herr
Won Puttkammer, acting Minister Of
the interior, proved by docamenta-
ry evidence that the government
has shown consideration and energy
in the manner in which il has. pro-
ceeded against the Socialists, Tue
energetic execution Of the lilY has
been proved to be necessary by the
fact, which became moro and more
notorious every day, that the So
cialists are atkeistic and unpatriotic,
and constitute q party Of npheaval.
The group led by Most, editor OF the
Efeiheit. and By iiasseifa2n, preach
assassination. The more moderate
fraction Of the party do not pursue
their ends by the same means-yio-
lence and reyolt-but seek method
ically TO undermine the constituted
authority, the tendency Of both be-
ing the same. Herr Won Ppttkarl-
mer proceeded to quote utteFances
Of Most and Hasselman respecting
the assassination Of the Gar, which
provoked loud expressions Of ild;g-
nation ard abhorance from all parts
of the hoqso. lie stated in conelu-
sion that the condition qf affairs in
Germany vas such that Prussia
would proposs that the minor state
of siege be extended 10 LEIPZIG.

handsomely engrossed address set
ting forth the views and wishes OF
the oolored people Of their Stale
Sacques A. Gia acted as chairman
and Al. Dumont Spokesman fuY
the delegation. The address was
quite lengthy, and claims that the
colored race in Louisiana has kept

the march Of progress that they pay
taxes on S25,000,C00 Of properly,
and by their labor raise seven-eighths
Of the sugar and rice crop and FIVE
eighths qf the cotton crop; that
they ask no new legislation, only
the honest enforcement Of existing
laws, for their protection, especially
on equal participatioAin in the advant,
ages of the public school system and
the freedom and protection OF tie
right of suffrage. The President, in
reply. expressed biz gratifcation Ill
the progress and material prosperity
of the colored race, as evinced by
the statements Of their address, re-
newed the assurances ofhis i9apgur-

consideration the importance to their

ownership of the soil upon which
they i've and toll.

THE Washington gossips insist,
that in case Of the confirmation OF

Senate, that Attorney General Mac

TIE stories that were so freely
circulated about the struggle be-
tween Senators Conkling and Blaine
as to Cabinet appointments arc rap
idly coming TO grief.
Its now admitted that Conkling
did not object TO the appoiptmentol
Blaine as Secretary Of State, and
that Blaine did not oppose the
selection of Grant men for Other
positions in the Cabinet
The story that Blaine had been
instrumental in securing the ap-
pointment of Wayne MacVeagh as
Attorney General, is now receiving
its quietns, by MacVeagh's bitter
hostility to the confirmation O
Blaine's warmest friend-W. Z
Chandler-as Solicitor General.

THE truth of the adage that ''liars
sholid have good memories is well
illustrated by the last issue Of the
Commercial After asserting repeat
edly within the last few months
that Mr.. Scull has held the Office of
Collector FOR twenty years, that jour
nal last week asserts in one column
that he has held the Office for
nearly or quite twelve years" and
in another column SAYS that Mr..
Scull has now held Office beginning
in 1862, and that 'hc has held the
Office Of Collector alone for the past
twelve years" There is vast come
down from twenty years to twelve,
but still, there is no truth in the
Commercials allegations. Mr.. Scull
did not 90 into Office in 1862 and
he has not held the Office of Collect
or for the past twelve years, nor any
thing near that time. The little
malignants who furnish such brains
as that journal has, guess at facts, and
then publish their guesses as truths.

shot Benjamin F. Porter, the actor
at Marshall, Texas, has suffered the
fate OF his victim. A message bear
ing this information was received in
this city by United States Marshal
Kearns, dated Las Vegas, n. NJ.
Currie, after his escape from illegal
lows in Texas, left that State and
has spent considerable time Of late
in Las Vegas. His habits were
intenperate, as usual, aed while in
Il harroom, Eve days ago, he freely
made threats against those who were
gathered in the place, He finally
said he would shoot the bartender,
and the latter to protect himselffired
upon Currie, the ball passing
through his head, killing him in
stantiy. 4 number Of roilroad
hands, who sympathized with Cur
rie, tried to lynch the bartender, but
the Sheriff gave him protection, and
the Co-oner's jury decided that tn e
case was one Qfjqstife bel homicide.
The prisoner il, however, held under
the protection of the authorities.

NR. ciIa aDs.ERss AFpciyTMEST LIKELY
TO LEAD TO a RESIGNATION.

WAsHIyGTox, D. G.. March %
The causes leading TO the disafiec-
ton Of Messrs. MacN eagh and James
were briefly considered, it is said, in
to-day's Cabinet meeting. The
President viii undoubtedly make a
firm stand in defence OF the nomi-
nations Of AIessrs. Chandler and
Robertson, and no one seems to be-
lieye fc2 a moment that the name OF
either viii ba withdrawn. II, in
consequence of the confirmation OF
either or both OF these gentlenlep,
Postmaster General James or Attor-
ney General MacVeagh finds it In
compatible with his ideas to remain
in the Cabinet, it is believed that bis
resignation viii be promptly accept
ed and new mal appointed to his
place without delay. There IS good
authority toF the statement that At
torney General MacVeagh opposed
Mr.. Chambers selection, but welded
so far as to postpone any intention
ofresigning untilit was seen whether
the Senate would confirm or reject
his nomination. If Mr.. Chandler
should be confirmed. Mr.. Mac
yeagh1s resignation Is among the
possibilities, although has friends
will endeayor to dissuade him from
taking such a step. There is some
reason to belieYe that he has al
ready decided to remain in the Cab
met, even in the event of Mr.. Chand
lei-s confirmation. Postmaster Gen.
eral James declines to talk about
his attitude in the reported disa
greements. 1t is not believed that
he will tender his resignation.
