There is young lady in our city

A young lady that can at that

Yes, but does it pay Uncle Sam

We think it would be better for
the morals of our growing city, if
the City Council would make more
determined efforts to abate the
houses of ill-fame, instead of allow
ing them full sway in our midst by
repeating the ordinances against
them.-Hatntington Argus.
Your City Council encourages
and supports the liquor traffic, and
to be consistent, must favor the
evil and wickedness you complain
of. These two infamies are twins,
and must of necessity be alike court
ed and protected or prohibited.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

Since the chief editor Of the Ottawa Repu5.
licda has been elevated TO seat IN congress
he seems to feel 1t incumbent upon himself &C.
casionally TO discourse upon high national
themes, and in late issue of that hebdomadel
he treats us to a disquisitOn on civil service
reform. After promising that "all parties,
classes and conditions Of society" seem to re-
for all the ills that flesh is heir to-" uhe con.
ceit of treating political measure metaphor
ically AZ a remedial medicine for bodily ills
being no less facetious than happy, We beg the
reader to note en- pdssdnD our incipient states.
man nevertheless concludes that all the pre-.
tended importance attached TO the subject is
hypocritical, land that the number Of lip re-
formers is almost equal to the number Of male
voters In the United States, but the number of
actual reformers, when opportunity offers, has
been and is now exceedingly small" Never
theless, OF these sham civil service reformers,
who almost equal the whole number of voters,
tina. aggregation only of hypocrtes known as
the republican party, he says,
Has attempted to crystalize Its professions
into realities The measures adopted 10 purify
the civil service and secure economy In Its adj
ministration have been republican measures,
enforced by republican officials. The progress
made has not been equal to the expectations of
republican voters, nor have all who have been
elected by them on that issue been true and
faithful. But the fact nevertheless is that
whatever has been accomplished Is the result
of republican desire and republican effort
Now such a story may possibly be received
with enthusiasm by the gallant warriors OF the
marine cavalry. but will hardly bear the lava.

Chuxon WAS through forged preliminary pa
pers, which were made to appear as genuine
by being surreptitiously stamped by the seal OF
the county clerk of Fayette county, to whose
office Chuyton had secret access, to obtain
from the Governor acquisitions upon other
states for all sorts of pretended fugitive crlmi-
mails, and on their pretended arrest to obtain
from the Governor an order on the treasury for
heavy travelling expenses, &c. twas only by
accident a few days ago that the Governor
found out that in these numerous applications
to HIM for acquisitions this scoundrel was real
~ practicing upon him huge swindle. On
the discovery the Governor had him arrested

ATLANTA.

The cotton exposition at Atlanta attracted
greater crowds during the past week than al
any time since it was opened. Mr.. Edward
Atkinson, of Boston, who claims the honor of
having been the first to suggest the exhibition
and to inaugurate steps towards its realization
having spent several weeks there, writes en-.
Enthusiastically to a Boston paper, that it ex
ceeds in Its scope, influences and completeness
anything that he ever dared to dream, and says
what deserves to be thought of as well as read
by all who are interested in the broad and full
development of this country and in its posi-
bilitles. Few can conceive" he writes, "the
manitude variety and representative charac-
ter of what there is here. My friends concur
with me in the judgment that these are but
the beginnings of great Improvements. and
that results more profoundly affecting the
whole of this country are in this Exhibition,
than in any great exhibition ever held any
where The industrial revolution now pro.
ceeding and far advanced in this Southern
land must be seen to be appreciated, and its
visible and tangible results are here. No one
who has any private interest in connection
with this section of our common country, no
one who has any public interest in the welfare
of our nation, can afford to stay away from
here who can possibly spare the time to come.
If may use the expression, the potentialities
of the future are to be found herein the ores,
in the timber in the coal, In the productions
of agriculture, in new apparatus, new ma
chinery, and absolutely new inventions for the
treatment of cotton-all in wonderful variety"
All of which is the best and most welcome
news that could come 10 the North from the
South.

U. S. Treasurer Gllfillan, an abstract of
whose forthcoming annual report has appear
ed in the papers, urges that the salaries of per.
sons employed In his office shall be raised.
The recommendation appears almost simulta.
neously with the statement that $sO,O 900 were
contributed by persons employed in the depart
ments at Washington to help Malone carry
Virginia on the new republican platform of
Equal rights and debt population" As a
similar assessment was made in behalf of
Charley Foster IN Ohio, and like assessments
recur about as often as any importan: election
is pending, would it not have been the more
honest way for Treasurer Gilfillan to have
urged the appropriation OF money directly
from the treasury to pay these election expen-
SEES so as to save the persons employed in his
office" from these onerous assessments?

peared In the Court the other morning and
SAID the Attorney General had long ago put
him outside the case and whatever neglect
was chargeable IN the matter was therefore due
to him. Meantime Mr.. McVeagh says Col A
w. Cook and Mr.. Bliss were in charge OF the
case and entirely competent to manage it, and
that this hulabaloo against himself is the
work of the star route rngsters to break HIM
down. 1t appears to be understood that the
Camerons have decreed that McVeagh shall
retire from the cabinet ruined politician, and
this assault on him through the star route cas-.
es is enc of their ways to bring it about.

tory manipulation of Chinese washee-washee.
The only remote semblance OF q movement In
favor OF civil service reform ever inaugurated
by the republican party was the appointment
of commission, in the earlier years of Presl-
dent Grants administration, to examine into
the subject and suggest appropriate legislation.
The commission, 1t will be remembered, con-
sisted of such eminent reformers and philoso-
pliers as Joseph Nedlll, George William Cur
tbs, &c, who recommended the adoption of a
voluminous code on the subject, embracing
among other things the famous rules provid.
ing for competitive examinations. 1t is need
less to say, the whole scheme was received
with gufaw by twothlrds republican con-
gress and fell stll-born from the hands OF its
authors. Instead Of anything resembling civil
service reform from 'the only party that has
attempted to crystalline Its reform professions
into realities" we had the famous civil service
of the Grant regime, including the Leet and
Stocking custom house robberies, the whisky
rings &c, &c, 80 nervousIy depicted by Prof.
Swing in the article copied from the Alliance
IN another column Of to-days FREE TRADER,
to which we beg to refer the reader. This WAS
followed by the famous civil service reform

administration consisting IN rewarding with
lucrative offices just one hundred and twenty.

the harmless appearing johnnycake should
