MUTILATING A HORSE.
"A Fellow Who Must Have Supped on
Hell Broth.

AS vile a wretch as any In tho world has Just
turned up In East Washington. Between 10
O'Clock last night and O'Clock this morning
some Gend incarnate entered the stable of Mr..
NJ. Mccormick, the grocer, which Is situated
In Browns alley northeast, and with a knife
gentleman In frlghtful manner. The poor
animal presented terrible appearance whom
the hostler entered the stable this morning.
The floor was literally covered with thick
blood, while the animal stood groaning and
suffering intensely from three CHASTITY
wounds, two deep cuts on the mock
ward TO the belly, the latter being at least two
inches deep, from the effects of which tho an
imal can hardly recover. No cause can be
assigned for the dastardly deed, and the per-
petrator, II captured, should be severely pun
tshed. The animal was valued at 5000.
Nothing was stolen from the stable.

Reformers and "Reforms.''

tits pretty well established fact that those
politicians who make the most noise IN the
world about "roforms" know tho least about
them and care the least about them,
only as the hue and cry thus raised can
DO made to serve their ends or boost their
political aspirations. So II IL with many OF
our civil service reformers. A gentleman who
has had large experience In the manner Of the
conducting OF affalrs In the various Depart
monts remarked this morning, In tho hearing
OF n CRITIC reporter:
"What can We hope TO gain by any system OF
violation II an employo OF the Government
charged with the responsible duty OF passing
upon claims against tho Government could be
corrupted at all, he could be corrupted whom
he had served the Government six months as
we'll as II he had served six years"
"ln my opinion" continued he, "lf the De-
partments were required TO certify to Congress
every year tho amount and character OF each
claim allowed and paid, and then have them
printed so they could be known and rend Of
all men, It would do more toward preventing
the allowance and payment OF unjust claims
than all tho clyllservice reform that could be
Instituted
1t cannot DO denied that q reform In our

The Richmond Rank Failure.

The failure of the Bank of Commerce Of
Rchmond.was announcedin yesterdays GA
zETrE. The bank owes about $4,000 and
it is believed that it will certainly pay fifty
per cent. if not seyrnty-fvc per cent. OH the
dollar.
The bank was gotten up by the friends of
the late tirla Of Isaacs Taylor & Williams,
after they failed in 1873. and was intended
to succeed TO their business in all It's branch
es, and hence by its charter WAS authorized
to deal in bonds, stocks, coin and sterling
The capital stock was 10000, of which $42.-
100 was owned by Messrs. Taylor and Will
liams ; paid-up capital, $4,000. The bust
ness Of the bank was fairly successful. and
paid dividends regularly up to last January.
The cause of the failure of the bank is said
to be due to its having been large holder
OF stocks i'll New York in July, 1881, the
time oIthc assassination Of President Gar
field, and the panic which followed that
event. caused 4 heavy depression in the val
nc of the stocks, which was augmented by
the failure of crops and the French panic
The bank was finally compelled in the last
few months to sell these stocks at a ruinous
sacrifice. Messrs. Taylor and Williams held
on, hoping that they could sell then real
estate and make other arrangements that
would enable them to pay up in full and
wind up the affairs Of the bank, but being
unsuccessful, and the bushes of the bank
not paying its current expenses, it had to
suspend. The failure will not cmharrasS
