In disposing of case growing out o.
labor trouble, in Washington, last week
Judge Smell said: "The time will soor
come when persons in this country viii
be able to- employ laborers as cheap al
they can and pay them in proportion to
their work without the interference Of
labor unions. The greatest nuisance W.
have in this country are these inferna
unions, and the sooner we get rid of then
the better. These men are made tools Of
by the Unions and go to non-union me1
under the pretext Of giving friendly ad
vice. They nre sent as messengers, just
the same as by the old Ku Klux mode"
The city solicitor of Philadelphia said
last week that, while he had expressed his
Judgment that when rules had been for
inulated under the civil service provisions
of the Bullitt law, they will not become
operative until 1887 Yet, to prevent
misunderstanding as to his views, he de-
sired to say that there is no reason why
the heads of departments should not in
augurate civil service in conformity there
with at once. SIN my judgement the
heads Of departments should go on and
formulate rules and inaugurate the system
voluntarily, without waiting for this act
to become operative.
The Flint Glass Workers Union in ses-

The Ledger's New York correspondent,
under Fridays date, writes There are
two fresh political incidents to-day that
are making some stir in the Democratic
camp. One is the discovery (rather late
in the day thought, that Mr.. H. s.
Beattie, who was recently appointed by
the President surveyor of the port was
editor of paper called the Richmond
county (Staten Island) Sentinel in 1876,
which was one of the most active
and energetic Supporters of Mr.. Hayes
claim to the Presidency against
those of Mr.. Samuel j. Tilden. The other
is u manifesto from Mr.. Joseph J.
O'Donoghue, n leading Tammany man,
declaring his intention to run as an indie
pendent candidate for the governorship,
in case the state convention should nomi-
nate ex-Mayor Edward Cooper. Mr..
O'Donoghue, as is well known, was can
didate for the collectorship, and, as MIR.
Cooper is said TO have intrigued against
him, he now proposes TO retaliate. Should
he beas good as his word the ex-mayor will
probably find it serious business, MS his
antagonist is not only very practical
politician but also n very wealthy mau.
Recurring to the case of Mr.. Beatiie, il
need only be observed that the discovery
OF his political nntecedents has but inten-
sitied the ill-humor Of the Tannnany
folks with "the way the President is
going on" and quickenod their anxiety
to "know what Mr.. Tilden thinks about
it," &c. .,. r.
The Boston RecOyd says: Politics con-
Time to he queer. The son of Henry A.
Wise, who hanged John Brown, and him
self a young man who fought vigorously
in the rebellion, is supported zealously
by Republican papers for governor Of
Virginia, though he is the lieutenant of
Boss Malone and identified with repudia-
tion. If General Fitz Hugh Lee leads
the Democratic party he will doubtless be
denounced by some of these same organs
MS a ''rebel brigadier" and an enemy of
the government.
