Policy in laundering.

Fort wayne Gazette.
Mr.. Jones was not possessed of full informa-
ton about the civil-service regulations. That is
that the incumbent was so much of an igno-
ramus that ne does not, did not know or I'M
derstand the law or regulations under which he
acted. Then, further, the commission says that
the laundering examing board of the civil-service
commission, composed of greenies, did not un-
derstand it's business. That is, there was no
intentional evasion of the law, but in 80 far as
the regulations were violated it was due to
ignorance and not an intentional violation-all
due to dense ignorance. Such whitewash as
that would no doubt be gratifying to Mr. Jones
and the committee. But no one ever expected
that the Democracy would ever respect the civil
service law. They, themselves, had no such
intentions, as Mr.. Jones's simple minded expla-
nation and confession fully illustrates OF
course, they will keep ON laundering in full
ignorance of the law until their pets are in full
possession of all the positions in every Office in
the land, by which time the Democracy will be
thoroughly posted on the law, and be prepared
to execute in all its bearings.

THE Democratic press lifts up its voice and
bowls over Mr.. Blaine's incidental criticism of
'Lincoln's successor" while eulogizing Gen.
Grant. Something of the kind was to be

is singular how sudden Democratic papers are

FOUGHT ON BOTH SIDES.
Circumstances Under Which Ex- Confederetes
May BE Entitled to Pensions.

Washington Special to New York Post.
There has recently been considerable comment
on the fact that an ex confederate soldier living
in Georgia has received federal pension. These
comments have called attention to the fact not
generally known, that a number of eXconfeder-
ate soldiers under fair construction Of the
entitled to federal pensions. This would be in
the case of those confederate soldiers who, while
prisoners of war, took the oath of allegiance to
the United States, enlisted in the federal army,
and received injuries while in the line Of duty
as federal soldiers It is fact which can be
proved from records of the War Department
that two Illinois regiments at least were re-
cruited to aconsiderable extent from confederate
prisoners confined in Camp Douglas Chicago
This fact is sustained by communication from
the War Department to Captain Hiram r.
Enoch, formerly of Rockford, ILL.,, now resident
of Baltimore. He belong ed to the Sixty seventh
shall at Camp Douglas. Captain Enoch kept
private register of all the confederate prisoners
at that post and of the disposition of them. 1t
agrees, substantially. with the official record in
the Adj1tant generals office From the latter it
appears that OF these prisoners there were
enlisted in the United States army, prior to
Nov. l, 1862, 2l2 and subsequent to Nov. l. 1862,
/, 1875. The Adjutant general notes that in the
majority of cases the federal organizations in
which these men enlisted is not shown by the
records on file. The private register OF Captain
Enoch. however, does name the regiments as
follows Enlisted in the Twenty third and
Sixty-ffth Illinois regiments, 800" The
Adjutant generals record shows 2l2 discrep-
ancy of II. 1t is probable that these II are to
be found in the 139 reported at the Adjutant-

confederate recruits. 1t is very possible, there.
fore, that of these 229 confederate recruits for
the Union army some may have received
pensions. Officials who were familiar with the
customs at the various prison camps in the
North, whore confederates were confined, say
that good many prisoners were recruited for
the Union army at other places than Camp

A PITTsBURG boy went into saloon on
Sunday and asked for glass Of beer; on being
refused he struck the bar tender, who was a
woman, in the face, drew dirk knife and
stabbed bystander, who attempted to inter
fere, then ran across the street, entered q
house, and kicked over the supper table,
around which family was gathered. Run
ming upstairs, he leaned out of window
and, first plunging the knife into his abdomen,
leaped to the pavement, from which he was
taken up in dying condition and carried to
the hospital Investigation into his case dis
closed the fact that he had gone insane over
trashy novels, of which he was a great reader,
and imagined himself a mighty Indian
hunter finally driven into corner by revenge
full redskins, and left with no escape from
prolonged torture save self-destruction. The
obvious moral to be drawn from this is that
boys should not read cheap novels-the cheap
ness of course, referring to the quality. It is al
together probable, however, that a youth who
could be driven insane by Indian stories Of
any sort would have met with something to
overturn his mental balance had the tales
been out of his reach.

TALK about the sensationalism of Western
newspapers. 1t is in Boston that murder is
made the most of By press and reporters They
gloat over plain, every day shooting ARRAY, but
fairly revel in homicide possessing any
peculiarly atrocious features; and it may be
remarked in this connection that the thugs of
Boston are adopts in murder most foul. At
present the citizens of the Hub have the pleasure
of discussing two uncommonly horrible tragedies
over their breakfast tables. One is the case of a
woman who was carved into fragments and
scattered about in the harbor. The first pieces
were picked up about three weeks ago, and a
week later all the parts, were in and matched
together, but this did not end the matter That
woman is still served up to Boston intellects in
