safe but common dccency requires his
presence at the post of duty the moment
tho tocsin of war is sounded. The ordinary
mind will fail to see vt glance just why IL
is that John G. Fremont, sworn TO perform
certain important duties, aud literally paid
therefore, can reconcile it to his sense of
public honor to pitch his tent in
Wall street while the people placed
under his charge are crying to be saved
from merciless foe. If we remember cor
rectly, this same John p. Fremont parts his
hair in the middle, and was the first Rcpub-
lican candidate for the Presidency. On the
strength of these two important facts he has
ever since been pensioner on his native
land, and, like every other "original Re-
publican," he looks upon all this incense
and distinction as matter of course, and
feels that his only duty is to render as
small an equivalent as he possibly can.
The time has about arrived to pull these
superannuated old frauds up with stiff
rein. John G. Fremont is one of them

was indisposed during his late visit to Long

somewhat emaciated the morning after he

AN INTERESTING RELIC of slavery days
has been found in Wabash, Indiana. 1t is
one of the stations OH the famous old Un-
derground Railroad and is located two
miles south of the city. The building
stands on hill overlooking the Lafontaine
and Wabash turnpike, and is plain brick
structure. 1t was built by man named
Elias Thomas in the year 1856, and by him
was used as n residence. No one knew of
this being place Of refuge for slaves until
recently a new family moved in, and an
examination revealed the vault for secret
ing passenger" en- route for Canada. The
foundation of the house is sunken deep into
tho ground, forming sort of basement.
This cellar is divided into two compart-
ments by stone wall. One side is en-
tered by q door, and the other apparently
is without an aperture. A tmp-door in the
floor above, however, which was always
covered by carpet, gave easy means of ac-
cess, and many colored men were let down
into the depths of the mysterious cellar
while on their way from the South to
Canada.

GEN. JAMES, of the p. O. Department,
may safely be styled great man. SO great,
indeed, that he scizcs the first opportunity
to inform his poor, weak official chief that he
is n civil-service reformer. He forgot, in that
moment of self-adulation, that the Presi-
dent was scarcely able to take chicken
broth, and would naturally suffer from the
shock of learning that one James had un-
dertaken the job Of civil-service reform.
This statement was cut from the same piece
of cloth as that twin statement he made in
the sick-room, about bencfting the country
to the extent of a million and a-half per
annum on the Star.route savings. Both
were malicious and diabolical misrepresenta-
tions. This word is longer than " lies, "and
means more in this connection, because it
implies direct purpose and intent to mis-
lead.
For instance this talented misleader has
lately made the official announcement that
every promotion in his Department should
be made by competitive examination, and
that each new appointment should be made
ON the same basis. The most competent
clerk Of the third class should receive the
first vacancy that occurred in the fourth
class. Whenever a small vacuum, like q
$1,000 clerkship, occurs, this great man
mounts his battlements and calls together
the army Of applicants for examination.
Whenever large fat plum, like an $500
clerkship, presents itself, this great man
sends private word to some New York friend
of the fact, and this New York friend packs
his valisc, is sworn in. placed over the heads
of experienced men, and all without any
examination at all. Among recent appoint.
ments made by this great man is one Byron
w. Adsit, of Watertown, N. Y, editor, and
friend of said James and of said James
chief clerk. Mr.. .Adsit is all right Nobody
envies him the place. but his appointment
was in violation of said James own ukase,
and his words to q crcdulous President were
a glaring indecency ,las.qgf
