Out and In.

Mr.. Richard A. Elmer who has so faith
fully and ably filled the position of second
assistant postmaster general for tho past three
years, yesterday rendered his resignation to
tho President. In tho retirement Of Mr..
Elmer the postoiIlce department and the
public service lose a most valuable officer
Tho oifico of second assistant postmaster
general is one Of the most important in the
government requiring for its proper man
aRement a man Of fine business abil-
ity, high honor, aud strict integrity.
All these qualifications Mr.. Elmer possessed
in n most eminent degree, and the great
work that he has done, and 80 we'll done,
shows with what fidelity and ability no dis
charged his intricate duties. High-minded
and honorable, faithful and honest, courteous
and Just, he strongly intrenched himself in
the affections of all his subordinatos and as
sociates in tho department, whose regret at
his retirement is Gttingly voiced in the
letter of the postmaster general acknowledg-
ing the receipt of his resignation. No
man ever left the public service leaving be-
hind him better and clearer record. He
leaves the service to assume the responsible
duties of the head of q powerful corporation,
the American Surety company, Of New York,
the list of stockholders of which embraces
many of the leading and most influential bust
ness men of the country, whose keen discern
ment saw in his efficient management Of his
public Office those qualities necessary to On
ablc him to properly manage tho business of
such corporation. HiF place will
bo hard to fill, and In choosing
his successor all persons acquainted with
tho department and tho service will be
quick to recognize that the President has
acted wisely in naming as Gen. Elmer's sue
ccssor Mr.. II. d. Lyman, the efficient chief
clerk of the bureau. Mr.. Lyman is young
man who has risen to his present position
from o minor clerkship in the department,
and earned the position with which he has
boon honored by his own merit. No better
selection could have been made, and THE Re-
PUBLICAN predicts for Mr.. Lyman most
successful career.

the part demands both in voice and action
The character of tho talent combined
by Miss .obor was most thoroughly exem-
pliGcd in tho quartette "Such Resemblance"
nc the close Of this act where tho voices Of
Miss Stone, Miss Phillips, and Messrs. Karl

to be the gem of the opera. In tho second act
Messrs. Barnabeo aud Karl sustained tho

their old-time vigor and gave tho sauce

cution of Miss Mario Stone was q most strik-
ing feature. Mr.. rockingham was most

Tho chorus was admirably handled by Prof
Studley, and in tho songs of the cadets and
the bashi bazouks evinced freshness and

and was deservedly oncored.

The Morrison Tariff Bill.

Mr.. Morrison has finally launched his great
onuo to war rates 1t Is impossible ut n
glance to have an idea Of what its probable
effect would have upon the revenues. 1t
will be found less oppressive to "tho business
interests" than was looked for at first as the
outcome of the election of Mr.. Carlisle
to the speakorship; but the purpose of
tho democratic managers now is
to foster tho monopolies a
little at the expense of the producers of raw
materials. This course is very broadly sug-
gested, by the abolition of the duty on iron
ore. OF course the work of Mr.. Morrison will
DO subjected speedily to the test of compara-
tive tables, by which we shall BIO able to sec
what effect his provisos will have upon his
horizontal rule. If we do not find in its hid.
den parts some goodly remembrances of
special interests IL will BIO raro specimen of a
tariff bill.
The reverence shown by Mr.. Morrison for
the war tariff rates of 1861, and the special
caro- taken by him to introduce into tho body
of the bill the honored name of Morrill,, the
father of what the democrats have always as
surod us was most Ubiquitous measure, oven
under war necessities, is q touching tribute
from revenue reformer to the standard
measure Of protective legislation.
The question of whether reduction reduces
cannot no ascertained, as before remarked,
from u mere reading of tho bill. To say that
there shall be a reduction of 90 per cent,
provided there shall DO no reduction below
certain rate, is q most ingenious way to avoid
giving general publicity to the scope and
effect of the measure
We congratulate Dame Morrison on her
safe delivery, and we shall watch with in
tcrest Mr.. Hewitt's offices as nurse to the
bantling. 1t will BIO brought up on bottle
labeled 'all necessary information" and it
will be wise child if it knows its own
father when it is finally ready for christen-
ness interests" will provoke the inquiry as to
whether the great tariff for-revenue-only re-
former is not only abandoning his own
position, but squirting also the Ohio demo-
cratic Payne-protection pledge, not to foster
monopolies And, if tho monopolists have
captured Morrison, what is to DO expected of
us poor republicans If the righteous scarcely
are saved, where shall the ungodly and the
sinner appear? Truly the country is in q
parlous state.

SINCE the death of tho Hon. Edmund w.
NJ. Mackey, late representative in congress
from the seventh South Carolina district, the
sensational story of his having married a
cOlored woman has again started its round in
the newspaper press. Mrs. Mackey is well
known in Washington as a lady of high Gull
ture and rare refinement, and honors any
social circle in which she appears. If it be OF
any special credit to be "A Fair Caucasian "
she certainly is entitled to it. 1t is to be
hoped for the sake of the widow and her
fatherless children that this bit of sensation.

Free Trade in Labor.

Free trade in labor is no better than free
trade in goods. Voluntary emigration to
this country will bring only those we ought
to welcome. A contract system under which
capital buys a mans labor for term of years
and takes a mortgage on him to secure the
outlay for bringing him hither ID but form
of slavery, and the spirit which would refrain
from forbidding it would wink at the return
of slavery and the opening of tho African
slave trade. We want no pauper labor,
either from Europe or Asia, to aid American
manufacturers who are protected against for
eign cheap labor in monopOlizing the benefits
Of a protective tariff which is intended quito
rs much to encourage and protect American
labor as American capital. And tits no answer
to say that many Americans arc foreign born.
Whoever is an American citizen under our
laws is an American, no matter whore no was
born. The house committee on labor will, we
trust, report q bill to break up the growing

The New York TriJue's second day attack
on Wendell Phillips was even moro pointed
and malicious than that of the morning after
his death.
To tell the truth, the pro.slayery spirit at the
north was a devil of q disgustingly base and vul-
garchayGcter. The agitators were hated, mobbed,
Oltawed, murdered, not so much because men
believed in the right 10 hold slaves as because
agitation was Lad for trade. The despicable com.

Gov. Murray and his Enemies.

not likely TO escape notice that these charges
although alleged TO have been known for years,
were not pressed until Gov Murrays vigorous at
tacks upon the iufamies of Mormonism had made
his presence in Utah extremely undesirable to the
saints. As the representative of tho national
power in Utah, he has earned the honorable posi-
ton Of being yirulenty hated by the Mormons.
Tho people may perceive that this precedes the
digging up Of these charges after they have slum-
bered undisturbed through several democratic
congresses. Under such circumstances, Mr.,
Springer cannot afford to deny Gov Murray the
opportunity he demands to meet tho charges
against him.

Oh, gay IS Love when Love in music calls

Oh, bright is Love dancing through lighted
Through lighted halls.

Aud soft his words whore fur.wrapped sleighers

With tinkllng bells across the moon.lit snow.
But sad is Love beneath the joyless rains
Tho pallid rains,
When February to sad Earth complains
In mournful strains.
From the wet woods and late unhappy leaves,
Rain-rotting briers, and rank, rejected sheaves,
Love drops his sweet averted eyes, and grieves.
So from my gray, bleak life fear hc'll stray;
Yea, though / pray
To clasp his lower.sweet fingers for ono day.
He loves the May,
With brido-buds sot and volets bloom
He loves the rose.crowned, scented month Of
June,
When rarest singing birds are all in tune.
oh, heart, thou vert a little traitor set
A traitor set
Where iondest hope and truest VOWS had met.
Thou art In debt
To Fobruary's weeping love. One day,
One rancold day, when all the sky was gray,
lie camo with smiling face, and came to stay.
He dried with kisses oil my tear stained face;
All, what sweet grace;
He made my drcary room splendid place;
He left no trace
Ofdoubt or gloom; he said, with clear kind eyes
"Oh, Love may live beneath the cloudless skies;
But wet with pain of tcars-he never dies!"

E6tlrnin Meets Jem GoOde-And 6 Scfen- tIhc Smuggling Hatch is the Result. CHICAGO, July 3.-Three thousand people gathered this evening at Battery D almory and vent away delighted, ,havingIwitnessed one of the most determined and scientific glove contests that ever occurred in this section of the country. The contestants were Jem Goode, of England, who stands five feet, eight inches, and stripped at 157 pounds, and Jake Kilrain, of Boston, five feet, eleven inches, who tipped the beam at 18O pounds. Both men appeared to be in state of plays ical perfection. Parson Davis instructed the audience that the contest would be five three-minute rounds. The following is the summary: The first round was evenly fought both in science and slugging though the gen. tIeman from Boston succeeded in forcing his antagonist on the ropes, the latter cut ting Goode's back severely.
 In the second round the fighting was at close quarters. The Britisher got in his work in good shape and proved that his skill and elasticity counteracted the advantage which Kilrsin possessed in weight and height.
 Third round-Kilrain played the offensive from the start, knocking his adversary of his pins once and forcing him on to the ropes four times. Goede saved himself by clinching the Bostonian every time until they were separated by the referee. This round ended decidedly in Kilrain's favor.
 Fourth round-Tbis proved to be the most scientific round of the contest, being nearly devoid of slugging and terminating in Goode's favor, the latter proving himself the superior to Kilrain far as science is concerned.
 Ths fifth round was finished in good style and was give and take all through, KilrAin getting in an upper left handed cut which knocked Goode nearly through the ropes He fsred none the worse for this, however, and forced the fighting until time was called, the referee deciding the contest draw.

Trouble Among the ChocEaWs-A Rebel
 lion Against Paying the Permit Tax.
 FoRT SMITH, July 3.-The enforcement of the permit laws is causing considerable excitement in the Choctaw nation and arous- ing opposition that may cause their repeal. Under the Choctaw law every white man in this nation or his employer is required to pay Q permit tax in order to live in the nation. Milo Hoyt, 8 wealthy Choctaw, having sev- eral white men in his employ, refused to pay the permit tax and the authorities attached his stock. Afterward the district court house was burned and Hoyt is supposed to be the incendiary. The Choctaw authorities pursued him and his party into the Cherokee nation. Both parties arc under arms and serious trouble is apprehended. The Indian landlords have appealed to the Secretary of the Interior against the enforcement of the permit laws which are said to be unconstitu- tional and Indian Agent Tuft is trying to stop further proceedings pending the Sec retary's decision.
