That Republican Senate.

The Republican papers are beginning to
howl louder than ever as the removals of
offensive partisans and incompetent and
corrupt officials IN the public service
become more frequent. The fact is the
President and the heads OF the depart
ments have been occupied up to the
present time almost entirely in filling
vacancies and recognizing the most i'm
pOrtant bureaus, and the work Of making
peremptory changes in the minor offices
is just being begun.
Enough has been done to convince the
Republicans that they need not hope for
any special fayOrs from the administra-
ton. The President has had threats of
the Republican Senate held in terrorens
over him for a month or two, but he pur-
sues his liked policy as quietly aud fear
lessly as if there was no such body in
existence. He is not only respecting, but
enforcing the civil service law in letter
and spirit, but he CONSTITUTES the law for
himself aud does not pay any attention to
the forced constructions which the Re-
publicans put upon it.
The Republican Senate is not what it was
a few years ago, for the reason that pub
lie opinion is not now what it was then,
and the Republicans IN the Senate, what
ever their feelings may be, are obliged 20
respect that opinion. II is very likely
that the Senate will refuse to confirm
some of the Presidents nominations, but
it will not dare to declare war against
him and cautiously put obstacles in the
way OF the administration on general
principles.
The Senators know that it is out OF their
power toforce the President to retain Re-
publican officials whom he may deter
mine TO remove, and they dare not refuse
to confirm the successors Of such officials
if such successors are ft and proper per.
sons.
No doubt some Of the Republican Sena.
tors will find preteXts for waving the
bloody shirt, and abusing and slaudering
the administration; but their noise will
amount TO little. The country has become
accustomed TO it, and II does not excite
the least interest. They may annoy the
President, but they cannot defeat him.
They may make themselves very obnox-
i0us TO him and 20 the heads Of the de-
partments, but borh the President and
these officials have II in their power to
make themselves equally as obnoxious to
the Republican Senators.
1t will be wise in the Republican sena-
tors TO accept the situation, and the ma
joity Of them will probably try TO be
wise. The threats Of the Republican
journals will have no effect.

A Bridal Present to ..iss .IuIia Jackson

from me Ae1o orleans Times Demo crdt.
There was a meeting Friday night of the
Association ofthe Armyof Northern Virginia.
A handsome piece of silver, which NAV be
used as card receiver, was exhibited. 1t is
beautiful in design amt lined with gold. On
the outer rim is a medallion likeness Of Gen.
Robert e. Lee, and another of Lieut.. Gen.
Thomas j. jackson. 1t is designed by the
Louisiana Division of the Army of Northern
Virginia tveteransl as bridal present to Miss
Julia Thomas Jackson, the only daughter of
the 1llustriOus Gen. "SConewall" jackson,
upon the occasion of her marriage, on June .
next.
This tribute of respect and admiration from
the veterans of the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia to Miss Jackson IS as appropriate as it
is touching and historic. Many of the heroes
who followed her great father for four years
have contributed with heartfelt loyalty to this
souvenir of their devotion to the memory of
the father, and their undying interest in the
welfare and happiness Of his only child.
"A committee was appointed by the Chair
MAJ, consist ng of MessTs. John J. Fitzpat-
rick, j. j. Willett amt +. A. ODER, to draft
resolutions expressing to Miss jackson the
sentiments of the association, which will ac-
company the piece OF silver.

the Revised Bible complete, enclosed in red
plush and morocco case and inscribed; Pre-
scented to Her Most Gracious Majesty the
Queen by the ConvocatiOn of the Province Of
Canterbury.-May XIV, A. D. MDCccLXXXV."
THE statue of Gen. Custer, which occupie
position on the blum at West Point, has been
taken away and stored as rubbish. This was
done by order of the Secretary of War, at the
solicitation of Mrs. Custer, who considered
the statue a libel upon the personal appear
ance Of her heroic husband. 1t represented
him in a long tailed coat and troopers boots,
with sword in one hand and pistol in the
other suggesting the general appearance Of
dime novel hero in pursuit of redskins. The
$1,000 contributed by admirers of the General
has thus been wasted.

A bill relating to convict labor, intro
duced in the Illinois Legislature, provides
that certain per centage of the revenue
derived by the State therefrom shall be set
aside for the support of the families Of
convicts who are left I'm destitute circum-
stances. This is a new departure in deal
ing with the difficult question OF prison
labor, and is certainly a humane pro-
vision. Perhaps many juries would con-
Wet criminals more readily were IL GER
tain that the innocent families Of such
criminals would not be the real sufferers
II is a serious question whether the de-
pendent families Of criminals have not a
special claim on the States. In most Of
the States, however, they are supported in
the poor houses, or aided out OF the pauper
funds, which Is probably better than the
proposed Illinois plan, which appears to
be rather complicated.

An Excited Missouri village.
From the Neao York Tribune.


The citizens of the little village of Mag
nOlia, Mo-, are wildly disturbed. They no
longer SIT in groups on the streets, whiting
and settling the affairs of the governments.
On the contrary, they are hustling around in
the performance of public duty that APP
peals to the conscience of every man. 1t
seems that some temperance people have suG-
ceeded in passing prohibitOry law for the
town. This was a calamity, of course, but the
intelligent tOpers of the village soon hit
upon beautiful scheme TO get around
it. Local sentiment allowed the liberal
use OF whisky in the case of snake
bites, and it was surprising how
soon many people were unfortunate
enough TO be bitten by snakes. Blu. In the
midst of this saturnAlia Of whisky and snakes
came doctOr-one of those Hew-fanged
smart fellows who know it all-and knocked
the whisky cure theory higher than Glide
roy's kite, by curing snake bites in another
way Hence the anarchy IN the hearts of the
old timers, whom they lOOlIel at the nefarious
work OF this bold man. A meeting was held.
IN which speeches were made dcnouncpg
him, and warning him to leave the town. He
has not lett, and the END is not yet. But the
doughty citizens are determined that science
shall not be allowed to destroy their dearest
privileges.

Bedclothes of Paper.
From the Paper Naker.

A paper making firm in New Jersey has for
several weeks been turning out counterpanes
and pillows of paper. No. manila paper is
used, two large sheets being hell together by
a slender Irvine at intervals of three or four
inches: the Irvine is gummed so as to hold the
sheets firmly together where it lies. A hem is
placed on the Counterpart 10 keep it from
tesring; the safety edge is composed of Irvine.
Ornamental designs are stamped in the outer
surfaces of the covers and cases, giving them
neat, attractive appe 3rance.
When these cOunterpane5 and pillow cases
become wrinkled from use, they can easily be
smOothed out with hot flatiron. The coun-
terpanes can be left on the bed when it is oc-
cuped, and in cold weather will he found a
warm covering, paper preventing the escare
of heat. The new paper d-clOthing is Is
cents per get, and will probably become very
OODular

Some of the RECOMMENDATIONS,


A remarkable exposure OF an ATTEMPT TO
palm of an unit applicant occurred In Score
tary Manning's office the other day. A United
States senator had in tow a man confirmed in
Incorporate habits. whom he was pushing for
an internal revenue appointment. A gen le-
man from the same State, who knew the an
plicant, went to see the President and laid
the facts before him.
II wish you would lay the facts before the
Secretary OF the Treasury" said the Presi-
dent.
The gentleman reached the secretary's
Office 10 find the Senator and his bibul0us
friend in consultation with Secretary Man
ming. lie called the latter parsonage aside
and said that the candidate was drunkard
"Well," SAID Mr.. Manning. "yOu say you can
substantiate your charges. Suppose We settle
the matter right here" and bringing the
three visitors together, ne told the gentleman
10 state his charges IN the presence of the
candidate. The candidate wilted, and COM
fessed that the charge was true. He with
drew his application and retired with his
Senatorial friend. The latter was not Nc AIN
abashed by the exposure, and recommended
another man, who proved to be under indct-
ment.
In another case, where a Treasury app7int.
ment was made on the recommendation Of
several Congressman, ~ecret9ry Manning
learned, after the commission had been
mailed, that the appointee had been indicted
for quite a serious Oilense. A dispatch de-
handing his resignation forthwith nmped
another scandal in The bud. An apple ton
for an important appointment In the railway
mail service Is pending before Postmaster
General Villas, which bears the names OF Con-
gressmen and Judges and business men Of
Ohio. The man they recommend was de-
faulter, aud the men who recommended him
know IL.
There are scores Of such cases in every de-
partment which require the most careful
scrutiny before appointments can be made
Letters and petitions have become almoet va 4
ueless, 80 careless have public men become Ill

them. The in1rmity OF some statesmen Ia

The Difference in Parties.

Cte0eI0nd PtdiRdedCer (DehR)
No doubt if a Republican administration
were to succeed Democratic adm nistratiOn
and find Democrats holding office they would
turn them every one out within thirty days
and seize upon every office, great aud small.
That IS the Republican idea, and that is a
Republican policy. and Republicans cannot
understand how Democrats can be patient
while the work OF eliminating the Republic
can Office holders goes on so slowly. But
Democrats look upon public offices as public
trusts, and while they expect, and entertain
no doubt, that Democrats will succeed Re-
publicans in the Federal offices, they are con-
tent TO allow the President his own way and
his own time about it, confident that he will
do right, and do all for the best.
