Now-Jersey Democrats have been wondering
| why Samuel Klotz. esq, has not received his
commission as Collector for the Newark District
Mr.. Kennard. who was originally chosen for the
place. resigned with tears in his eyes. il is said.
because his friends had unjustly accused him of
some infrmites of appetite, and Senator Mcpherson
promptly slipped IN the name Of Mr.. Klotz. The
| great controversy was again considered settled
| But the commission fingered; this time because
another lot of Democrats had maligned Nj klotz
An old md ciment was raked up and eccentrlelfles
of of,icia conduct were exaggerated. Mr.. Cleve-
land is said TO be annoyed and bewildered because
such ing accusations are brought by some OF
the brethren against every one Of the gentlemen
| whom he selects 10 carry out Reform. But 1t will
never answer TO be too inquistive or particular
about the reputation of his appOntees IN NewJersey
If he sober gentlemen whose accounts nave

any delicate attention from Grand Jury. he may
be compelled TO name Republicans.

the Soudan have been rejected The Sultan has not
considered his suzerain rights of sufficient import

might not have had any intention OF keeping Its
engagements But there were no substantial adj
vantaees to be gained by garris0ning Snakim aud

cost of occupation would have been excessive. and
tho risks of hostities with the natives very form

ycrtcd into a revenue yielding province like Syria
! The Sultan while not renouncing his suzcraln
rights has declined to stand sentry for the English
! at Dongola and on the seabOard. The Liberal Min

Italian Government for the permanent occupation
of Suakim or else scuttle out altogether
The French people are at their characteristic
trick of changing the names of the streets and
avenues Of Paris. This time it is sainthood that
suffers. Tho Municipal Council proposes to change
every name that savors OF religion such tho Rue

! boulevard des Capncines, aud forth. After

The foreign enterprise of The Eretlng Post exceeds

A Washington dispatch says that "Callfornlans"
say Zach Montgomery's foundations of the pGbic
scboo systcm have been forgiven long since by his
felowcltzens because of his public services. This

never rendered any public services, and 10 Cali
fornan with tine least regard for voracity can be
found to confirm the statements in the Washing

the American system of public education, and who
is 10 this extent better than his defenders that he
has the courage OF his convictions. But no is
