THE REBELLION RECORDS.
Their Publication Not Pleasing to Members
of the Present Administration.

Washington Special.
Secretary Endicott's order, sending the fancy
men of the army to the frontier, includes several
very worthy officers who have been detailed for
specially laborious work here in Washington
Among them is Col. r. n Scott, who has the
editing of the war records. He is a thorough
student and close workman. His ten or fifteen
volumes have been highly praised, and are now
the rarest books published by the govern
ment, it being almost impossible to buy or
steal them. OF course in these war records
the rebel achives are being published pari passu
with those of the federal service. To these there
is objection the part of several ex-confederato
gentlemen, now high in the official personnel Of
this administration. They do not care to have
their reasonable records blazoned before the
world. They would, therefore, prefer to see
Colonel Scott pack up and go West, and in the
course of few months make push in Congress
to choke off the war records from further publ
cation. Colonel Scott has been temporarily ex-
cepted from Secretary Endicott's order 1t is

Anxiety as to the Attitude of tho New York
Times and the Post.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug 2O.-The exact position of
the New York Times in the coming cubernatoral
campaign in New York is matter of some
anxiety among politicians of both parties The
Times and the Evening Post are the mugwump
organs, and their probable action in the next
campaign is Of course simply matter of con-
lecture Neither paper claims to be entirely
outside of the Republican party, and in case the
Democrats should nominate the present
Governor HUI, the Post would undoubtedly
either support the Republican nominee or run a
candidate of its own. 1t has been hinted in some
circles that the New York Times will support the
Democratic candidate any way, even through
the unsavory acting Governor should be nomi-
mated. But there is reason to believe that the
candidate above all others whom the New York
Times would most prefer to support is the Hon.

Preparing to Use the National Navy-Yards
as Political Force.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug 20.-For years, while the
Republican party was in power, the Democracy
charged that the navy-yards had been used for
political purposes. No one was more violently
accused in this direction than ex-Secretary
Chandler, and no one did more to incur the
enmity OF politicians by the abolition Of the
navy yards than this same Secretary Chandler.
When the new administration came into power.
there were few of the yards in the country that
were in operation, and these were running on
the slightest possible time. 1t was so last fall,
even during the political campaign, wherein
navy yard employees said to have such
exceeding great influence. Of course, the mug
wumps expected that the yards would not be
used in the campaign this fall for political pur-
poses. The mugwump element has looked upon
Mr.. Whitney as civilservicereform saint,
whose place on the calendar will be second only
to that of the principal reformer, Grover Cleve
land. They are, therefore, very much surprised
to see that he has already ordered the employ
ment of several hundred men in the Brooklyn
navy yard for the purpose of repairing several
old hulks that will have to be sold in few years.
They are also greatly surprised to learn that the
Norfolk navyyard is to be rehablitated, and that
the Naval Arsenal in Washington is being
overhauled and that some five hundred men are
to be set at work here before the 1st of October
Mr.. Whitney has endeavored to create the i'm
preston that he is a great advocate of civil
ice reform, and that ho believes in the methods
of the commission to the fullest extent. He has
given out that there will be examinations of
those who desire to be foremen during the next
week, and those who have been disposed to give
the administration credit for every move in the
right direction have been loud in their praises
of this system of selecting these navy-yard
Bosses 1t is learned, however, that Mr.. Whitney
has not the faintest idea of making these exam
nations anything like those conducted by the
Civil-service Commission. He has appointed a
board of naval officers to conduct them after his
own methods. The examinations are not to be
competitive, and it may be said positively that
the men who are to pass for the places have
already been selected. The examinations, there
fore, are farce, and bait thrown out to the
reform element in both parties. The navyyards
are to be conducted solely for political purposes
Mr.. Whitney has fallen into the rut which has
cursed these places before, and Mr. Whitney's
party will learn before long that navy-yard
politics are not such as to win great reform
victories.

The Radiant Hope"

Mr.. Editor-A very gratifying article I'M
der this title has lately been contributed to
your paper by some one over the signature,
CO." 1t opens with a reference to the SER
mons of worthy gentleman of whom much
good is spoken by sensible people, and dwells
particularly on one whose subject was ''Idle-
ness" and whose gist was that poverty's dis
graceful, because the usual result of idleness
and inattention to industrial pursuits. Now,
however much it may be our duty in life's
competing struggle to teach our children the
virtue of industry and the disturbances OF
energy, that they may "hold their own," we
cannot shut our eyes to the fact that the
most industrious are not the most wealthy,
nor the richest, the least idle and prosperous.
Take for instance the case of the 10000
dollars per annum just given by the English
government to a certain Miss Beatrice for a
marriage dowry, from the earnings of the
poor Woodworking factory slaves and field
slaves, of England, OH no better grounds than
that her mother, the widow Victoria, has
already an income of fully million year.
Take the case of those Woodworking, early
rising people, some instances of whom reside
in our own immediate vicinity, who are yet
too poor to go to church on Sunday. Take
the instance of the communities of good peo-
industriously for the good of others. You
may find such in your own pretty valley;-
and tell "Asterisk Minus" that ''Obelisk
Equal' thinks ito unquestioni ngly swallow"
is not grammar. t..

From GOOdland.

Ed. Register-Since you have no regular
correspondence from this vicinity we will
give you a few items.
We attended church at Goodland Sunday
last. Mr.. Thomas Callahan delivered an ex-
celent sermon to very large audience.
Quite number from the paradise great"
of Reynolds county, gave the "west end"
their eIevating influence. They are not ac-
customed to such deep reasoning as Mr.. c..
delivered. Hence the predominance of I'M
easiness.
Mr.. j. III. Stricklin, of this vicinity, has
recently subscribed for the REGISTER. Mr..
S. knows good paper when he reads it.
Hence the subscription.
The schools in this vicinity have all, we are
informed, employed teachers. District 2,
T. "a, has employed Miss Bette Sumter, a
very intelligent young lady. Notwithstand-
ing the sneering the "west end" has recent
ly received, it seldom employs incompetent
teachers. We will venture to say that, if re-
quired, Miss S. will teach, successfully, the
following extra branches: Algebra, physics,
physical geography, and physiology. May
the day quickly dawn, when all teachers, be-
fore being employed, will have to pass an
examination in the above sciences, at least.
1t is a question with some of our Young
men whether to get married and settle down,
or remain single and settle up.
Farmers here assume an air of ariStocracy,
since the recent rains.
Samuel Stricklin, an enterprising farmer,
of this vicinity, has purchased farm on
West Fork.
We have been informed, that Mr.. J. III.
Stricklin is now building II two-story chick
coop, and, when completed will have it
insured in the German Insurance Company,
of Freeport, Illinois.
Talk about beauty! Why, our Goodland
girls cannot be equaled by those of any to,cn,
or city on the face of the globe! And they
can sing, too.
What do you say, Mr.. Callahan: Quite a
number of the "fair sex" from paradise
great" appeared to be "mashed'' on MIR.
Calahan's bouquet, Sunday last, judging
from the remarks we heard. Come again,
Mr.. C. We are a lover of bouquets, and can
see the works of Creative. Wisdom in them.
Mr.. John Mcmahon, very affable old gen.
tleman, passed by, while we are writing, go
ing we presume, to pay MIR. c. K. Hender
son visit. Mr.. Mcmahon is an energetic
