THE new Civil service Commission
very quickly disposes of the assertion that
the departments at Washington have been
filled and emptied to reward political work
ers. Mr.. Eaton reports that there are
about 2100 in the Treasury Department
proper, There was about az many ten
years ago, and there are to-day over 500
people employed in the Department who
were OH the rolls ten years ago. There
are on an average ninety-five voluntary
retirements from The Treasury Depart
ment every year. That number of men
or women resign to go into private bust
ness, into matrImony, or out of politics.
This leaves about $50 persons unaccounted
for, and that number includes all remov-
ais for cause or political reasons. Not 10
per cent. of the $50 have been removed
for political reasons" in the last ten
years. iLWdukee Sentinel

PROFESSOR HUXLEY AND THE
RAILS

Professor Huxley presided recently at
the annual meeting of the London SAM
tary Protection Association. In the
course of his opening address he said he
had made very great discovery. He
had found that there was great body
of extremely active and unpaid sanitary
inspectors, to whom be was sufficiently
ungrateful to say that he should be glad
to hear of their immediate extirpatior
These sanitary in pectors were rats He
had had curious example of their action
in his own house. Some time ago it had
been reported to him that there were rats
in particular room in the basement.
Rats had 40 place in any London house.
The mouse one need not quarrel with,
but rats meant mischief. The rats came
from the rats place, the sewer, and
if the rats could come from the sewer all
other abCminable things could also get
up. He had the floor of the room at
once taken up, and very curious state
of things had revealed itself. When the
house had been built, particular dra in
o an unimportant character had been
designed 20 lead out in certain direction.
The business of the bull er naturally
should have been to close up the drain
in the one direction which had been fin.
ished, and to carry it out in another way.
That had been done with a degree OF
carelessness and neglect of common pre-.
caution which was absolutely criminal
The brick lay er had not taken the trouble
to shut up small opening of the drain.
knr tvynIV,o thora bod haan no
house that connection between the sewer,
the drains, and the basement of the house
which, had it not been for the rats, would
have been impossible to be discovered,
even by the most careful efinspectors.

THE ELECTIONS.

The elections yesterday throughout the
country were generally favorable to the
democrats. Great interest was centered
on the result in Chicago where there was
a square issue made between bad and
good government. The hummer element,
thugs, gamblers, thieves and sandbaggers
aided, perhaps, by a few people claiming
responsibility, succeeded in electing Car
ter Harrison mayor and the entire demo-
cratic city ticket by majorities ranging
from 5000 to 10000. The outcome of
the contest in Chicago is most surpris-
ing one when it is considered that aim st
the entire press and pulpit of the city
were enlisted on the side of Judge Cary
and in opposition to Harrison.
In Milwaukee Judge Mallory is re-
elected municipal Judge over Wallber by
1000 majority. This result is somewhat
non-partisan in its character as many
republicans came to the support Mallory.
The city counsel has an increased demo-
cratic majority. Madison and Oshkosh
are democratic. Portage elects A. ].
Turner, Republican, for Mayor and the
whole republican city ticket.

FOR POSTMASTER-GENERAL
WEDNESDAY. APRIL 4, 1853.

EOR POSTMAST ER-G ENERAL.
Should it be deemed expedient and
proper that the claims of Wisconsin to
the cabinet position occupied by the late
Judge Howe precede all others, a name
suggests itself that would be eminently
fit to consider in connection with the pc
sition of Postmaster General, that of Elk
Congressman Lucien B. Caswell. Mr..
Caswell is in the prime of life, in fine
physical condition to meet the arduous
and responsible duties of the position,
and would supplement ripened expert
ence of four terms in the House of Rep
resentatives with splendid business ca
pacity. As a member of the Committee
on Appropriations in the late Congress, and
chairman of the subcommittee having
before it the regulation of postal affairs,
he seems peculiarly well adapted to be AT
the head of the Post-Office Department
Wisconsin would be honored by his APP
pointment.

OUTDoNE IN PoLTTENEss Before the
days of railroads Horace Greeley left Uti-
ca one morning in stage coach. His
only fellow passenger was gentleman of
prepossessing appearance, with whom he
fell into conversation. After while the
stranger drew cigar case from his peck
ct and offered its contents to Mr.. Greeley
for him to take from 1t cigar. He de-
clined the polite offer, and the converse
ton was resumed. Presently the gen
tleman, taking cigar from the case, put
it into his mouth, and returned the case
to his pocket. While they were talking
he abruptly but courteously remarked to
Mr.. Greeley:
II hope, sir, you have no objection to
a cigar?"
''None in the world, answered Greeley,
"when it is not lighted"
"Oh," replied the gentleman "I had
not the remotest thought of lighting it,"
'Then and there" said Mr. Greeley,
laughing, twas the only time was ever
outdone in politeness. | afterwards as
certained that my victor was the famous
Captain Sherman, of Lake Champlain.''

The DIAMOND MINE DISASTER -
BRAIDwoOD, ILL.,, March 30.-The ex-
ploriug party at the Diamond mine to-
day started into the southwest entry and
reached the face, some $50 yards from
the main shaft. 1t was only with great
effort that they surmounted the huge
barriers of soapstone and pulled their
bodies through the small holes they en-.
countered. On gaining a point about
$50 yards from the face they found some
bodies covered with stone. They succeed
ed in counting thirteen legs of victims,
and they suppose from that that there are
seven Of them there. Three of them
were identified by their boots and cloth
ing AS being John Rogers, Ramsy and
Andrew Fulton. The bodies are in a
much worse condition than those already
taken. They will be taken out in sacks,
as that 10 the only way they can be ham
died. They could not be brought over
the huge piles of stone and through the
small holes ON stretchers Many of the
searchers are now confined to their beds
on account of the terrible stencil they
are obliged to work in while on duty.
