married Thursday 10 Miss Augusta Miller, a
pretty German girl of twenty-five years.
The ceremony was performed in Mr.. Abb
bolts Office Mr.. Abbott is friend and &C.
quaintanco Of Sun Wah. The groom was
attired as becomes q bride-groom--in the
best that could be purchased. His cue was
tastefully coiled, his pantaoons were built
oil the three bushel sack plan, and his shoes
looked like embroidered boxing gloves. The
bride was in bridal array, and over her fine
~ she wore sealskin sacque-none ofyour
plush counterfeits, but the real fur. The
couple were accompanied by Augustus cou-
sin, Lizzie Wing Lee, nee Miller, who was
married to Mr.. Wing Lee Monday. The
Rev. Mr.. Walker began by saying that the

THE STATE DEBT.

10 The editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
Your correspondent L. Nj. B., in his last
communication saw fit, in the exubersnce of
his zeal for civil service, to criticise the po
sitions taken by two leading statesmen in
the recent debate in the upper house of Con-
gress. Insoent ambition.
Now, the definition of this grim and un-
doubtable upholder of civil service reform is
that sort of a refOrmatory arrangement by
which republican Office holders arc to be
kept in office until the active canvass of
grim death renders it impossible for them to
draw salaries. There is something so alb
surd in the incoEgruity of this proposition
that we are annoyed that anyone, calling
himselfa democrat should entertain such
an opinion. After twenty-five years of de.
feat and patient submission, the democrats
came into power again, and after one of the
most botly contested and bitter campaigns
ever known in this country the democratic
party elected the present occupant of the
White House, and as party are response.
bio for his official acts. Now how is the
party to De responsible for the acts of an
administration who retains in Office the cor
rupt politicians who for the last twenty
five years have plundered the people and
debauched the public service? This old
crowd of pensioners on the republican party,
stepped in all the corruption of the admins
trations Of Grant, Hays and Arthur, are the
most bitter and constituencies partisans of
nl the republican voters. Notwithstanding
the startling announcement of l.. NJ. B. that
they are thoroughly honest and mot hos
tile to the present administration, L. NJ. 3.
states in his remarkable communication
that 1.-THE people are in favor Of civil service
reform" and 1.-The retention Of the present
incumbents in Office" These statements
are barren localities as far as the truth is
concerned nine tenths of the democratic
party are opposed to it and expect demo
cratic administration, under a democratic
president, to"turn the rascals out" We want
to see the books" was sounded from the
"house tops" in that memorable presiden-
tial canvass. The books in the treasury de.
partment have been examined, (by those
who have had charge of them for the past
quarter Of century, and found short two
cents. The President, by his present course,
is doing the party that elected him serious
injury. He is warming the snake in his
bosom only to have it sting him TO death in
1883. But his course is giving general salts
