On Thursday last Messrs. Allen and
Sweeney, the chicken FAM i.rs, missed
TWO game hens and a japanese cock

the hands of the police, who found that
the three fowls had been disposed of in

fowls, and remarked, "Bellee old ="
Mr.. Sweeney Immediately identified it
as the remnant of his big Japanese game
cock, the bird which knocked one of
Con MONEYS fighters cold last winter.
1t had a spur on an inch and half
long, and the bird cost Mr.. Sweeney
$50. When he identified the noblest
Roman of all his henery, he is said to
have INDUCED in some luxurious cu>s-
ing. The ChinaWoman then showed
the police big pot, in which the roos-
ter had been boiling forty-eight hours,
and yet q sharp fork made no impress
sion on the meat. She said he had paid
two boys two bits for the cock. Another
woman was found who had purchased
two SIS hens OF the same pair of young
scamps for four bits. She had trid 10

RICHMNOD-ALRION.
Extraordinary Scenes OF Excitement In

EUREKA A, May 7.


TO THE EDITOR OF THE APPEAL:
Judge Rising's decision in the Rich
mond- Albion case seems to have given
more universal satisfaction than any
thing that has reached this city in the
shape Of legal finding for many years.
On the receipt of the news the Albion
mine tarned loose its whistle. Stimuli
tanousiy with the shrek of the Albion
the hoarse notes Of the Richmond whis-
tie smote the air, and the two blew until
all the steam was exhausted. The fact
that the Albion whistle held out five
minutes longer than the Richmond was
held to be a good sign. Everybody was
happy-except the holders ta Albion,
who had dumped l7,0O0 shares on the
market the day before, anticipating a
contrary decision. lrhey feel better

The newspapers were equally excited.

ran the American flag up on top of the
Sentinel Office, and announced in h is
paper:

theory sustained-l'he .NeAtineL endorsed

A few minutes lat"c Hobert, of the

Office on a larger pole, and announced
in his paper:

the task; if either impedes it. then they

q question of party advantage. but
the National preservation. Conkling
may sheer at it, Dudley trample on it,
Dorsey war against it, but Civil-Service
Reform is the question on which.
among the people, there is virtual una
nimitv. 1t is a moral as well as po-
litical question, and it can no longer be
stined. Colonel Dudley does not rec
oonize this; he secured his Office as a
reward for disreputable party service
in Indiana; it was not all he wanted;
but it was all he could get. He has no
mental qualification or business train
inc, which points him out as in any
manner fit for such place. Already
his conduct in Office shows him
to be eminently unit for that i'm
portant trust. His moral ideas are
warped; he brings 10 Washington
the same principles which aetuated
him in Indiana He is after the
spoils, and he is determined to reward
his Indiana followers. He proposes to
pension those whose moral character
| has been wrecked in many bitter polit-
ical contests, as the soldiers wounded
at Shiloh or Gettysburg are pensioned.
Fortunately Dudley has not been
confirmed, and it is to be hoped he will
not be. The infamous policy which has
so long prevailed could not be more
fittingIy rebuked than by refusal to
confirm the nomination of Colonel Dud-
l lev. To confirm him now would be to
proclaim to the country that all PROBES.

The Democratic Opportunity.

The wise politician never neglects his
opportunity. Neither does the wise
party. Ii there is place in the world
where sentimentalism becomes ridicu-
lous it is in politics. When we hear it
said. 1.-THE Democratic party has the
power to organize Congress, but it
would not be right to exercise that
power because il was brought about by
accident we feel like re-echoing the
saying of John Randolph: - The Lord
was very unwise in not killing all the
Democratic fools" What sense is there
in the Democratic majority in the Sem
ate electing Republican presiding Of
ficer-or Republican Secretary-or q
Republican Sergeant-at- Arms-when 1t
can elect these officers from their own
party. We are on the threshold OF q
campaign which will tax the strength
of both parties to the utmost.
We have no advantages to throw
away, nor can the Republicans lose
any without serious injury. These facts,
admitted to be true, the question arises:
Is it wiser to cripple our adversaries or
cripple ourselves? IT the former, why
should we give them advantages we
can easily possess by ourselves? Poll
tics is war OF conquest. and the party
which throws away its opportunities
never wins victories. Suppose the con-
ditions were reversed, would the Re-
publicans be as generous as they are
impudently asking the Democrats to

The presiding officer of the Senate and

of the Government, and to put it out OF

fact that Congress will be called on t.
