Pendleton used to be a Sccessionist

Pendleton used to be Sccessionist
of the Copperhead variety.
He wanted to reform slavery by
letting it alone.
He wanted to reform the Uuion
army by refusing to vote it supplies.
He wanted to reform the Union by
aiding in its dissolution.
Then he turned his hand to Finan-
cial Reform. He wanted to pay the
National Debt in greenbacks.
He tried to run as the Democratic
candidate for President on this issue,
in 1868.
Now he has turned his attention to
Civil Service Reform, and hopes that
it will make him the Democratic
Presidential candidate in 1884.
He wishes the Democratic party to
adopt it as their principal issue.
And to help him along he hopes to
get Republican Congress to pass a
Flaw to prevent hundred thousand
Republican ofice-holders from con-
tributing single cent toward keeping
themselves in power.
PeEdletora is not only a humbug,
but an>ass.
Another patriot has now declared
himself a Civil Service Reformer.
His name is-JoHN KELLY, +!

ANOTHER INVESTIGATION.
The Florida Land Grant to be investigated.
The Chinase Minister and his Wife,
Anti-monOpoly Petitions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. I2.-The near
est approach to sensation that we
have had since Congress re-assembled
is the lively shaking up of certain
swamp land transactions down in
Florida. Of late years the people
have come to understand something
about the ways in which the public do
main has melted away, as it were,
only to benefit and enrich grasping
corporations, but there is still little
general knowledge of the devious ways
by which millions of acres are COB
bled through the dishonesty and con-
nivance of trusted public servants.
In 1850 law was enacted granting
to the several States, except Kansas,
Nebraska and Nevada, all the swamp
or overhowed lands within their Inns
remaining unsold and unfit for cusi-
walton. It was made the duty Of the
Secretary of the Interior to mar out
these lands and convey them, snd the
States were required to use theFonts OF
the sale of such lands in rsclaimlng
them by levees and DAMS, In decid-
ing the question whether any iegal
subdivision of land was swamp lano
or not, the rule was to be that when
the greater part Of subdivision was
wet and unfit for cultivation it should
| be called swamp land, but that it
should not be so cailtd when the por-
ton of wet land wanot greater than
/ the area OF dry land

acres, of which Florida had the larges
area-more than 100000 acres.
Of this area in Florida nearly IL, 900,
900 acres have been approved and
nearly 1900, 900 acres patented to
the State. Since that time large adj
dltional area has been secured-over
a million acres, and it is this which
is now to be the subject Of Con-
gressional investigation. The Report
er makes the charge that there was
connivance on the part of the COM
mission representing the Interior De
partment with the State agents-in
short, that the lands confirmed are
not swamp lands The charges are
specific, and Senator Jones, of Florida,
with a copy of The Reporter before
him, which he said came from the
Secretary of the Interior, calls for a
committee of inquiry. 1t can be
stated that the editor of The Reporter
knew what he was talking about, and
that there will be some developments.
The three men named as participants
in the swindle have heen relieved from
duty in the Land Office.
The Americans living at the Airing
ton Hotel have, of course, been great

MINISTER
and his wife and their servants. The
latter are numerous and seem to be all
prevailing, for, of course, being utter
ly unacquainted with the custom of
an American hotel and unable to read
numbers of doors, they are as likely to
be found in one part of the house as
another and sometimes have entered
by mistake the rooms of the boarders

Ministers wife and her maid appear
to have travelled bareheaded, for when
they arrived here they had no head
coverings, but the hair of the lady
was carefully dressed. She is sup
posed to wear No, 3 shoes children's

cannot walk without assistance, and
speaks no English at all. She is the
third only of the Chinese ladies of
rank to leave her native country.

BLACKBURN, the Kentucky miscre-
ant who endeavored during the war to
infect the Northern cities with yellow
fever, is throwing mud at, and trying
to blacken the reputation Of Gen.
Burbridge, one of the bravest of that
small coterie of Southern loyalists who
fought for the preservation of the
Union. If Blackburn lived in any
other country except this, he would
have sense enough to keep his mouth
shut, and be satisfied that the govern
ment had mercifully spared his justly
forfeited life.

Short Guide to bankruptcy.

from the LONDON telegraph.
While one of the Bosniac delegates who waited
upon the Emperor Franz josef at the Hofburg,
a few weeks ago, was staying.in Vienna, the
owner of the hotel in which he lodged became a
bankrupt Hearing of his hosts mishap, the
worthy Beg sought an explanation of the term
bankruptcy" and having thoroughly mastered
its meaning, proceeded, on his return to his
native village to impart his information to SUM-
dry of the faithful. his near relatives, and close
family connections. "This, my brothers." he
observed, ''is the true and proper way to be-
come bankrupt: First you must hire shop.
Then you write to rich merchants in far distant
cities. inviting them to forward their wares to
you tor SALE and pledging yourself to pay them
within few months. AS soon as you shall have
received sufficient merchandise you must sell it
for cash or hide it carefully away. Then must
you go to the Judge and say to him Beloved
of Allah l am bankrupt, Here are s5. They
are all | have in the world The judge will
keep "a of the f5 and proclaim you in bank
ruptcy; the other G1 will be divided AMONG
those who supplied you with goods. Later on
you will remove to another town and begin this
good and easy business over again. Thus may
the passing bitterness of insolvency be con-
verified into the abiding sweetness of a comfort
able independence. Bechesm! Upon my head
be it! "

From the st. Louis Republican.
While American manners are doubtless suscep-
tible OF much improvement, they are not nearly
so black as they are frequently painted by foreign
fools and native snobs. If by good manners are
meant the small sweet courtesies of life," then
ours will bear comparison with the foreign artf-
Gle. An American may not bow as gracefully as
Frenchman, but he will sacrifice quite as much
personal convenience and comfort for a stranger
as the Frenchman-perhaps more. An American
may not be as elegant at dinner party as an
Englshman, but he will not ride half day in a
railway car without speaking to the fellow pas
senger at his elbow, as the Englishman will. Alady
whether young or old, pretty or plain
may travel from Boston to San Francisco
without an escort, and receive all the
needed attentions from men whom she never
saw before and will never see again. Would the
same lady be equally fortunate in q trip from
London to Paris. or Paris to Rome? In our
street cars laboring man, wearied out with
the days toll, will give his seat to any woman
who enters. How many European gentlemen
would do as much? There ismore chivalric re-
spect shown to women In America than any
where else on earth, and such respect is incOn-
sistent with intense ''vulgarity Of manners"
In dTawing-room accomplishments and the
graces of the dancing master, and in those in
describable products of high breeding found in
the circles OF hereditary aristocracy, America
must now-and always, perhaps-yield the palm
to Europe; but in genuine courtesy, unaffected
and unselflsh politeness, disposition to accom-
modate, readiness to go out of ones way to
help others-Europe has much to learn from
America. Our manners are sin the rough and
need polishing; but the material of which they
are made is gold, not pinchbeck. Vulgar man
ners are bad but artificial. worse. Let us hope
and believe that by diligent minding of our own
business and making the best OF ourselves with
out servile copying of European models we
shall some day reach point in education, man.
ners and morals which will meet the demands
of the most fastidIous taste, foreign or do
nestle.
