GRAND RAPIDS, April - 1856
sIR:-ln your Saturday mornings issue appears
an article relative to the sale OF revolyers to boys
which states few facts and distorts Others in a
manner calculated to reflect seriously upon our
integrity as business men and law-abidng citi-
zens. Your reporter called upon us. and asked If
we made a practice of selling revolyers to boys
We told hha that as sporting goods house we
carried revovers part ofonr legitin ate stock,
and sold them to both men and boys, OF the
proper age to handle them, we presumed every
dealer in town did who handled this class of
goods: We -old him that knowing of statute
prohibiting rhe sale of firearms to boys under thir-
teen years OF age, we had invariably made It a
practice to refuse selling to such and never had
knowingly violated this statute. There might
have been instances where we were deceived by
purchasers. but we exercised great caution
knowing tho danger from careless use oil such
tools. CONTRARY to this statement. your reporter
says that while he was present boy. apparently
nos more than twelve years of age, came into our
store purchased a revolver, and went away with
out question as 10 his age; and this he offers as
evidence against us. Evidence unquesiionable.
tttdh-t ht fNW ~ Win Ats ltttt wye dIu ll,
little Aesrt conceived the idea of using il as a
clincher to che whole TRADE against us. Now the
facts are: This boy. who was actually fourteen
years of age, purchased revolver of ms the day
previous. with the knowledge and consent Of his
father, and came in the day the reporter was
present 10 exchange IL for another. more expen-
sive, paying the difference. all OF which was by
advise OF the boys father. Your reporter further
states that . boy eleven years OF age was sent to
our store to purchase revolver. he does not say
that the boy secured the revolver but leaves the
public 10 infer that wewgii say that he did not.
Now, why we should be singled out from amongst
all the dealers Ia town flr this sort of gratuitous
advertising we do not know We certainly feel
that an inJusuce has been done Us. and simply
ask that yo,a allow the same freedom 10 our state
ment in yoslr columns Respectfully

FROM PILLAR TO POST.
The Civil Service Commission Forced
TO Vacate its Quarters.

W NoSAbo lAS NtuAtNCFss
WASHINGTON, June Sunless the
House and the Senate agree TO put an
item In one of the appropriation bills pro-
viding Tor the rental of offices for the Civil
Service Commission, tho latter will find
themselves in the street on July 1. The
Commissioner OF Agriculture has notified
them that on that day he must have the
quarters they now occupy in the seed
house of the Department of Agriculture.
AS soon as they received this notification
they went TO Secretary Lamar, who has
jurisdiction over suchsmatters, and asked
MIN to ind them quarters at once.
HIRED HOUSE.
He authorized them to hire house on
ri street at reasonable rental
and they are in process of moving into it,.
Yesterday, in response to request from
Chairman Samuel }. Randall, OF the
House Committee on Appropriations,
they appeared before that committee and
explained the necessity for the change OF
quarters. They were then told by Chair
man Randall that the committee would
make no provision for the rent of the new
quarters. lie thought they ought To have
gotten quarters in some government
building. The Commissioners replied
that there was no room for them in any
government building. "Well," said Mr..
Holman, "this seems like unnecessary
extravaganza" and with that they were
dismissed.
LONG TO MOVE PAYMENT.
Representative John ID. Long, who is a
memberOf the Appropriations Committee,
will probably move at the proper time in
the House to insert the item desired by
the Civil Service Commissioners for the
rental OF their new quarters. He will
also raise point Of order to the prOviso
to the appropriation for the Civil Service
Commission in the legislative appropria-
tion bill, requiring the commission 10 so
change their rules as,to do away with the
age limit and provide for certifying the
entire list of eigibles. The House, to
which the question Of order will probably
be left, will probably vote to keep the
prOvisO in the bill. In that event it will
be stricken out In tue Senate.
THE MEXICAN TREATY.
In the executive session of the Senate
this afternoon the Committee on Foreign
Relations brought forward a resolution
extending the time within which the
Mexican reciprocity treaty can be put
into operation until the termination of the
tittieth Congress. The resolution was de-
bated at some length and at last was
voted down.
Speaker Carlisle left this morning for
Harrisburg, Pa, to dine with Gov. Patti

Is not to apply, however, to lands unsur-

shall be bought subject to lien for those
costs, and to all liens, mortgages and
rights OF the United States. The act is
made to apply only to lands situated op-

portions Of roads and in organized COM

act the United States may become a pre-
ferred purchaser, and in such case the
lands shall be restored to the public do

ETC.. neglects for thirty days to pay such
costs after demand by the Secretary of
the Interior, the Attorney General shall
proceed at law to make the collection,
and in cases where the purchaser has
already paid such costs they shall be re-
funded to him. 1t is further provided
that the act shall not affect the rights OF
the government to declare or enforce for
telture Of any lands granted by Congress,
and all rights of the United States to such
lands are to remain as if this act had not
been passed.
