THE disaster that befel our neighbor
the star on Friday morning, while de-
plorablo, yet gave its enterprising man
ayers an opportunity to display high
qualities of adaptability to circumstances.
With their establishment ruined for a
time by the FIRE, the accident was not
suffered to interfere for moment with
the comfort or convenience of their pa.
irons, but promptly at the customary
hour the star has been ready for de-
livery each day since the conhagration,
THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,, while sym
pathizing with the star in its loss, ex-
tends its congratulations over the exhi-
bition of pluck, ready enterprise, aud
characteristic good MANAGEMENT with
which it has favored the people OF Wash
ington within the past few days,

The democratic members of the house
committee on civil service reform seem
TO have been guilty of contemplate bit
of sharp practice in holding a meeting
and adopting o report adverse to the bill
forbidding tho removal of honorably dis
charged union soldiers from office, except
for cause, without notifying the republic
can members of the committee that the
meeting was to be held. The action of
the committee and the reason that lies at
the bottom of it is entirely characteristic
of party that does not feel
that it has any reason to love
the union soldier. The democratic
position is that such law would "serl-
Ously impede" the executive. This is
undoubtedly true. If the union soldier
could not be removed, except for cause,
the confederate would stand no chance Of
securing his place. That is the substan-
tial meaning Of the impeachment to the
president that would exist in case the
bill in question became law.

AUGUSTA, Mar. 4.
The bill for establishing woman's reforma-
tory and calling for an appropriation of $10,-
00Oi came up by special assignment in the
House. 1t; was discussed by Messrs. Hale,
Moore, Heath, Mattocks and others in favor,
and Mr.. Powers in opposition. The latter
thought there was no call for sach an institu-
tion and intmated that it was in the interests
of Cumberland County from the fact that
there were 100 female criminals in the jail of
that county to rs in the remaining fifteen
counties. Gen. Mattocks and Mr.. Hale dis
claimed that it was sectional measure, but
was one called fer by the philanthropic men
and women all over the State. A motion to
Indefinitely postpone was lost and the bill was
given passage.

The best friends of Thurman and Mcdonald

the East, while the West is to be ignored Et-
forts will pe made tonight to change the slate
that Mr.. Cleveland is said to have decided on,
but it is confessed that success in this direc-
ton is is not expected. 1t is believed that

Lamar and Villas are decided on. Judge En-
dicott and Gen. Mcclellan are both here, and
the friends of each are opposing the other, and
each expects to get the war department. The

feat both, and another be selected, probably
