DIR. Bliss and His BIZ.

DR.. Bliss is still undecided whether he will
accept the award rendered him by the Gar
field board of audit. He has written DIR.
Agnew about it, and will be largely guided
by his answer. "ln case you do not accept,
will you commence suit against the estate %
"By no MEANS" was the quick reply.
The doctor is very angry that his services
did not receive a greater remuneration. He
claims that his receipts average from 81, 500
to $2 800 month"; and that, considering the
time lost during and after the illness, $15, 900
would be no more than a fair compensation In
addition to this. the mental and physical strain
were very severe. Speaking on,this subject to
a REPUBLICAN reporter last night, he said
with sincerity there was no mistaking, "I
wouldn't go through it again for all the
wealth of the Indies"

The Theatre Comique was literally packed
last night by one of those enthusiastic .au.
dienccs which mctaphSrically raise the roof OF
that establishment whenever they are thor
oughly pleased. Harry G. Richmonl the
principal attraction, is well known here, where
he is a decided iavOrite and his songs and wit

ga Plea for Porter"

In another part of this newspaper, under
found letter which attacks the opposition to
that unquiet person. 1t is not published be-
cause it has any truth in it, but because it is
at once evidently sincere and decidedly anus
ing-two qualities seldom found SO closely
combined. The gravity with which its writer
proceeds, twenty years after the event,
to state the case, not as it was, but as he thinks
it was, and upon that statement to tip over
the finding of court martial in whose pro-
ceedngs all the facts, then recent and well
known, were considered, is comically arctic,
and worthy of print as well for its own sake
as because it is about as distinctly representa-
tive of the spirit and style of the PORTER side
of this controversy as anything that has yet
been offered. The spectacle of theoretician
coming forward now, after half the witnesses
have passed from this life, and upon suppos-
ititious set of circumstances, supported by
the too willing testimony of rebels, filing a
charge of malignant wickedncss against ABRA-
HAM LINCOLN, Gen. GARFIELD, and the Off
GERS who were with them in that finding, is
distinguished by fantastic impudence that
would be impossible in any other country.
THE REPUBLICAN publishes the letter by way
of illustrating the good nature of American
journalism.

The Best Secretary Of the Navy.
Sun and Item of Philadelphia,

private letter from Washington reports
that "Chandler impresses every one as the
best secretary the navy has had for many
years. His acts are well considered, impair
tial, and severe His receipt annual report
"is considered clean cut, shrewd, and just
representation of afiairs.-Sprinafeld Republic
caa This is no surprise to those who know
the man. Seventeen years ago Mr.. Chandler,
us assistant secretary of the treasury, won the
respect and admiration of the country. Since
then he has steadily grown in mind and good
business methods, until now he has attained
the statue.of IL hrst-class pubicist. He is a
model official always sits with open doors
and has an attentive ear, a pleasant word, and
fair treatment for every one.

The PeOpIe.

There are in the United States about twelve
millions of men working for a living for them
selves and others. About seven millions of
these cultivate the soil, and three millions are
mechanics and workers in manufacturing in
dustries The other two millions are engaged
in trade transportation, and professional and
personal pursuits. OF the latter about 100000
serve the United States government. This
suggests the idea that Office holding
is not the principal industry in this
country, and that the score of newspaper
editors who are unable to see anything worthy
of discussion except the modes for getting
people in and keeping people out of office are
really not addressing II very interested or eX-
cited audience. How would it do to institute
base ball reforms, and bicycle reforms, and
have rules for the government of clubs?
There are ten millions of voters in the
United States, and if the republican party
wants to be found in company with majority
of them it would do well to get little nearer
to the people and ascertain what they are talk
ing about the most. If there are any leaders
among them, how would it do for our party
leaders to confer with them. The farms and
the workshops checked the march of slavery
and made freedom national. They did this
against the clubs, the counting rooms and the
corporations. The latter clements came in
grandly to aid in withstanding the shock of
battle caused by the political revolution.
If there is any great project for national
Improvement, il will, we think, have to de-
pend upon the plain people for success, and
will have to overcome the apathy and inditior-
ence of the commercial and professional
classes. Fifty millions of people, with ten
millions of voters among them, will find some
outlet for the political energy and enterprise
now pent up in considering frivolous and in
consequential questions. Timid counselors
who do not venture to deal with great prob
lens for fear these will excite no public in
terest, are like the man who buried his talen
in napkin because he knew tina
| his master was an austere man
reaping where he had not sowed
Tho suffrage, free and universal education
TRANSFORMATION, labor, bounties in every lie
Ultimate form, interoceanic communication
under United States control, revival Of th
carrying trade, tax revision, and Legislation
on tho presidential count and succession
these are all of some consequence. But not
word can be heard of anything except tn
PENDLEToN bill for distributing few thou
sand petty clerkships, 1t is right an
more than right, with all the vagario
that can be tackled ON to it, If II
enactment shall serve to allay tn
noise on the paltry subject, and make rOOr
