pose that the Democrats should hang back
for once in such an emergency! What

IT APPEARS FROM THE RECORD that the
Old Pub. Func., formerly known as Defrees,
is no new hand at the bellows of Reform.
In 1872, when he was engineering the
Greeley campaign in Indiana, the venerable
Reformer, otherwise Pub. Func., wrote to
Mr.. S. J. Watson, an cx-postmaster at
Muncie, in that State, as follows:
This is the most extravagant and corrupt
government that ever existed in this
country. Grant himself is so full of whisky
that he Is stupid and bloated and the men
who manage him are of the same sort.
But the whole rookery of unclean birds
that infest the White House will be driven
out next March and an honest man take
their place. Yours, j. ID. DEGREES.
The above is in the nature of a touching
tribute to some Of the influences which are
likely to be viewed with more or less re-
spect, if not confidence, by the present Ad-
ministration. Since the date of the above,
Defrees has been known to practice his pc
culiar system of reform by forcing the gov
ernment employees under him to take u
holiday and then stopping their pay. But
we do not understand that the pay of
Defrecs stopped the while. Perhaps he
considers that he earns his money on these
occasions by his extra vigilance in dcfraud.

THE SEASON HAS ARRIVED for the an
pearance in our midst of most imposing
parsonage. He is generally found on hotel
benches in close proximity to the bar, where
his face wears deeply reflective aspect as
il his soul was wrestling like Jacob with
some abstrusc problem of thought When
approached, he will be startled for tho mo-
mont from his reveric, and, thus recalled
to the activity and hustle about him, this
interesting philosopher will consent to
renew the assurances Of his distinguished
regard, and calls for sugar in his"
He thus becomes mellowed into conf
dencc, and, with each succeeding libation
contributed by admiring friends, he will
work his Jaw with moro startling ease
lie will construct Cabinet from the ground
up; he will outline the policy of the new
Administration from the most authentic
sources, | assure you,' and the future of
the country for the next half-dozen years
will rise up before his prophetic spy-glass.
But this isn't one-half of his usefulness and
capacities He has made profound study
Of all the law bearing on the organization
of the Government from President down to
Treasury clerk, and understands the scope
and spirit so to speak, of our institutions
so thoroughly that your hair curls in aston
ishment when he unwinds the intricacics of
every conceivable situation into which this
beloved Government might be plunged.
This is the chronic constitutional lawyer
of Washington. He combines the learning
of Blackstone with the profundity of Kent.
His hat came over in the Mayhower, he has
a lunch route, distinguished pedigree, and
an income of about fifteen shillings week.
AS an economic institution his worth can't
be overstated When the Supreme Court is
resting he can carry on the business at re-
duced expense, and in the temporary absence
of Congress he can perform all its functions
at a low rate of compensation. This is now
his busy season. Tap him if you want the
law and the facts. An outlay of fifty cents
is required. Office hours from 12 m. to 12 m.

Mr.. Editor | am very sorry that the
managers of the SENTINEL should so far
forget the rules of propriety rs TO admit to
its columns an article in last weeks issue,
over the signature of Ezekiel Crump," con-
tanning the following language, viz: at is
Furthermore reported that at the beginning
of the next school year the New School Bap-
It's School Bord will order the teachers not
to admit any boy or girl in thare schools
without they bring sertilikit that they have
been properly dipt"
| regret that the SENTINEL did not pause
and consider before publishing the above
unkind and dscourteous slur,' that a very
large and respectable portion of the citizens
of this county are either in sympathy with
or belong TO those who believe and practice
the solemn ordinance of baptism by inn
mersion, and that quite large proportion Of
these citizens are subscribers and patrons of
the SENTINEL, who are instructed in its col
umns
The principles and teachings of the Bap-
list denomination have ever beer, from time
immemorial, TO allow every one TO enjoy his
own convictions of truth, and TO worship his
Creator without molestation from any source.
Now, Mr.. Editor, as is well known, your
religious convictions, belief and practice are
Roman Catholic-and 1t is your right and
priyilege-would you have permitted that
communication TO appear in your columns
had it contained the sentence thus? "'rhe
New Roman Catholic School Board will
order the teachers not to admit any boy or
girl in thare schools without they bring
sertifiklt that they have been properly TO the
confessional"
No, l am sure your respect for those who
entertain their religious views, 10 say moth
ing of its untruthfulness and uncharitable-
ness, would have deferred you, il nothing
else
And now, since you have refused to give
the name Of the author thereby assuming
the whole responsibility and It's results, |
take this method TO enter my most emphatic
protest, in the name Of truth and justice, and
In behalf OF those who believe religiously as
do, whose intelligence and numbers will
compare with any in the land, against the
publication Of such cowardly slurs and in
suits in county secular newspaper, with
no other view than for one, who is either
afraid or ashamed of his real name, TO vent
his malice upon gentlemen whose aim is TO

not insulted about their religious views and

"a wonderfully well-informed patriot of
the Maryland office-seeking brigade corner
ed representative of The Amercan in
corridor ofthe Treasury Department to-day
and enlightened him as to the possible influ-
ence of the regulars who appear at the White
House day after day, hoping to be rewarded
for their loyal and effective work during the
late presidential campaign. According to
this informant very few rendered any valu-
able service except himself, and his efforts,
ii appears, were devoted to the election of
Congressman Urner. "Why, sir" he said,
swelling out magnificently, "the work did
for Urner would astonish you if ] related it
in detail" As a fact, the only thing this
communicative person accomplished in Urn
er's district during the campaign was to
thrash canal-boat captain, borrow ten dol
lars from good-natured farmer, and leave
for Baltimore before the voting closed. Yet
he is q daily visitor here. This class of men
have caused the President no little annoy
