ArLEA FOR THE PUBLIC SERVANTS.

am unwilli.g. in justice to the present civil
servants of the government, to dismiss the
subject without declaring my dissent from the
severe and almost iDdiscriminate censure with
which they have been recently assailed That
they are az class indolent, inefficient and cor
Tupt IS a statement which has been often
made and widely credited But when the
extent. variety, d. licacy and Importance of
these duties are considered, the great majority
of the employees OF the government are in my
Judgment, deserving Of high commentator.

OUR VANISHED COMMERCE.

The continuing decline of the merchant ma
rine of the United States is greatly 10 be de-
plored In view of the fact that we furnish so
large proportion of the freights of the COM
meTcial world and that our shipments are
steadily and rapid y increasing, it is cause of
surprise that not only Is our navigation interest
diminishing. but it is less than when our ex-
ports and i'm orts were not half so large as
now, either in bulk or Value There
must be some peculiar hindrance
to the development of this interest
or the enterprise and energy Of American me-
chanics and capitalists would have kept this
country. at least, abreast Of our rivals In the
friendly contest for ocean supremacy The
substitution of iron for wood and Of steam for
sail have wrought great revolutions Ia the
carrying trade Of the world, but these changes
could not have been adverse to America,
if we had given to cur naviga-
tion interests a portion of the aid and
protection which have been so wisely bestcw.
ed upon our manufactures commend the
whole subject TO the wisdom of Congress with
this suggestion, that no question of greater
magnitude or farther reaching importance can
engage thele attention.

rHE RELIEF or 1MM1aRANrs.

In 1875 the Supreme Court of she United
States declared unconstitutional the statutes
OF certain States which imposed upon ship
owners or consignees a tax OF one dollar and
half for each passenger arriving fFoIa
foreign country. or IN lieu thereof required
bond to indemnify the State and local authori-
ties against expense for the future relief or
support of such a passenger. Since this
decision the expense attending the care ana
supervision OF immigrants has fallen on the
states at whose ports they have landed As
large MAORI V of such immigrants immediate
ly upon their arrival proceed to the
inland STATES and the Territories
to seek permanent homes, it is mani.
festly unjust 10 impose upon the state,
whose shores they arst reach, the burden
which il now heara For this reason and be
cause Of the national importance Of the SUBJ
Jeet, recommend legislation regarding the
supervision and transitory care OF immigrants

Considering Action on the Land Bill.
 LONDON, Aug. 16.-Lord Cairns and Wis count Cranbrook and over one hundred Tory members of the House of Peers attended the meeting at Lord Salisburys' residence this afternoon to consider what action they should take on the land bill at the meeting of the Lords to night.
 Messrs. J. & J. LyaH East India merchants of London and Calcutta, have presented petition of liquidation. Their liabilities are placed at e265, ,000.
 Further Confederation of the Land Rfi1.
 LONDON, Aug. 16.-The House of Lords this evening resumed consideration of the land bill Lord Salisbury reviewed the situ- ation and said he regarded the clause relating to rent as it now came from the House of Commons as better than the one adopted by the House of Lords. The bill as it related to leases had received considerable modified tions, but this injustice of the clause was still apparent but if Lord Landsdowne per- sisted in his amendment the opposition was bound to support him but they would not, however, take any action which would send the bill back to the House of Commons as all of the dangerous excrsscences had been re- moved. Lord Salisbury said that he hoped the bill would be great benefit to the Irish tenants and would not do much harm to the landlords Lord Landsdowne consented not to press his amendment and all opposition is now virtually ended.
 Aafter some discussion the amendments of the House of Commons were agreed to.

 PROVIDENCE, Aug. .16.-The hearing at Kingston of the question of trying the Sprague divorce cases came up before the Su- perior Court of Washington county. All the counsel on both sides, excepting General Pryor, were in attendance. Mrs. Sprague's counsel demanded a speedy trial, as it was her tight. The cases are now on the docket and this continual postponement was source of great annoyance to Mrs. Sprague, who felt herself in position to disprove all accu- sations brought against her could she have 8 hearing. Ex-Governor Sprague's counsel said that they were ready to be heard whenever the question of jurisdiction was decided Mrs. Sprague's counsel denied that there was any serious question of jurisdiction and insisted upon a hearing at once. MT. Clark insisted that the question of jurisdiction should be separated from the main issue and tried first Judge Potter decided that both questions ought to be tried together and he would name an early day, but he first wished to consult with other members of the bench, as he did not care to try them alone.
