The remarks of Senator MAHoNE yesterday
on the civil service debate were full Of good
practical sense, and, brief though they were
they contain material on which he might well
have elaborated. But the chief points of in
terest were his direct thrust at Senator BAY
ARD and his trampling out of the mean
falsehoods, with which the papers hos
tile to the administration have been
loaded down for months, concerning
the use of patronage and the assess
ments of office holders in Virginia. He has
given the lie to all the stories against him,
and has given the facts as they stand at the
departments. If the removal of one clerk
and three colored messengers sums up all the
decapitations by Gen. MAHoNE's request in
the several departments here, of which such
blood -curdling tales have been told inf the
Post and elsewhere, then it would seem that
hehas been dealt with most foully by those who
have furnished the false information, and all
papers which do not desire to be known as
wholly reckless of the truth will denounce
those who have led them into such quagmires
of falsehood. The three colored men removed
were holding places as Virginians, and were
not entitled to be so classed. The statement
by Gen. MAHoNE of the number of Virginian
Office holders, the number of them to whom
circulars were sent and the number responded
to, releases the wind from the bladders OF
SANDER upon which the bourbons and their
straightout lacqueys have been floating. The
intrepid lying done against MAHoNE is the
best proof of the mans power and the hatred
it inspires among his enemies.

as congress may attach thereto touching its dis
bursement. The congress could appropriate Il
given amount annually per capita for the il
literates returned in the United States census,
upon condition that it should only be ex-
pended under the direction of United States
agents, and under a system to be approved by
the United States commissioner Of education.
The acceptance of the grant under such con-
ditions would make these the law Of the state
as well as of the United States, and thereby
perfect cooperation would be insured under
national direction. Thus the states could be
given the schoolroom and the schoolmaster,
instead of the money with which to secure
them; and the gift would be none the less
gracious, because distributed directly among
the people by the nation under friendly
agreement with the state. This is not mere
sentimentality. 1t is Il matter of very trou-
blesome facts, and one of the greatest subjects,
next to the distribution of the clerkships,
which can engage the attention of congress.

Shipbuiiding and shipowning.
The revival of shipbuilding in this country
is consummation devoutly to be wished.
The people would undoubtedly approve any
reasonable bounty to be paid American ship
builders, whether directly or as mail sub
sidy, whereby the disadvantages might be
overcome under which they suffer as to cost
of labor and length of transportation of ma
terials Great shipbuilding enterprises would
not only employ thousands of men in now
almost abandoned industry, and in the mining
and transportation of coal and iron, but, in
case of need, the means would be at hand for
instant use in the construction of the navy
with which some day we may have to tardily
resent blow. Meek as we have sometimes been
toward other nations in the presence of
wrongs and outrages upon American citizens,
there is, nevertheless, a latent spirit of self
assertion in the American character which
will some day, under provocation invited by
our long sufferance, burst out with the same
irresistible energy as that which characterized
"the uprising of q great people" in 1861.
Better that we should be able, even at such
time than later, to commence the building of
navy, and that for that purpose we should
find a class trained to the work and available
for either public or private yards.
But important and desirable as is this en-
couragement to American shipbuilding, the
American carrying trade, in American
owned ships, no matter where built,
is also of great Importance. Any vessel
owned by American citizens ought to
be under the protection of the Amer
lean flag, and foreign built ships so
owned ought to be subjected only to such a
protective policy as applies to other foreign
manufactures which are allowed to compete
with our own The war between the ship
builders and the ocean carriers should not be
one of determination any more that that GO
ing on in our market between the American
cotton factories and those of Great Britain
Capt. GOODMAN and JOHN ROACH should both
flourish Shipbuilding in the United States
should not be made impossible by free trade
in the cheaper built English vessels, and the
enterprising American who buys one of the
latter in which to do business as a carrier
ought not to be outlawed and told that he
must look to the flag of the nation where his
ship was built for protection instead of to his
own. Protection of the American shpbuild-
ing industry does not necessarily imply the
limitation of the American carrying trade.f

WE much regret having to announce
the sudden death of Mr.. M. II.
Allardt, of Port Huron, Michigan.
The sad and unexpected event
occurred on Thursday, but further
particulars have not yet come to
hand.
Mr.. Allardt was known in Rugby,
as he was not unfrequently here on
his way to the Clarke lands in Fen
tress County, for which he was
immigration agent. In that capacity
he had had large and longexperience,
and for years had been one of the
Commissioners of Emigration for
Michigan, and esteemed a reliable
and responsible man. During the
relief measures for the sufferers from
the forest fires in Michigan, last
year, he energetically filled an i'm

He was expected in Fentress
County some time during the next
few weeks to assist in arranging
for the settlement of new corners

AMONG the advantages to be possess
ed by those who may make Rugby
their place of residence, will be
found two of the most important
factors to be considered by a family
DESTROYS of finding a new home.
The first is healthfulness, and the
second is position. Of the health
fulness of Rugby there can be no
doubt, and it's entire immunity from
malarial fevers is so assured that
the new conner may feel one of the
greatest evils so frequently to be met
with in tnew settlements, will be
absent altogether from this colony
on the Cumberland Plateau. A
sojourn here of only a few days is
always sufficient to convince the
stranger of the invigorating vitality
there is in the clear air, whilst in
summer as the heat of the day
comes on, there is invariably a cool
breeze to refresh the frame, and
prevent exhaustion. At night a
coverlet is always welcome, and
there is no rolling restlessness, and
tossing about, and rising in the
morning more fatigued than upor
retiring at night. Under this
southern sun it seems contradictory
to speak Of cool nights and delight
full and healthful breezes, but We
speak of that which we know, and
we have no hesitation in calling oul
climate-not excepting the winters
perfect.
: The second recommendation fact
to be borne in mind is the position
of Rugby. AS is the healthfulness
of place social and persona
question, SO is it's position to be
viewed from the same platform
