THERE will be q decided change In
the methods of the Civil Service
fiom those followed by the last admin
istratien, and which will not be par
ticularly agreeable to some parties. 1t
was the custom, in some instances,
under mir. Clegeland's administration,
~ conduct these examinations in such
q manner that any Democrat could
pass, while there was very little show
for Republican, no matter what his
qualifications might be. An official
announcement, recently made by the
Civil Service Commissioners, says;
"rhsy win tolerate no violation and NO
eva ion of the statute. The examinations
are open to an-pemocrats and Republi.
eans A.iltr, sth Shn apply whn nhotaA. all
those applying in proper form will bt
examined and marked with positive i'm
Partially, and will be certified in theil
order to the appointing ofilcor."
There is no nnistasing the meaning
Of this, as 1t is full and explicit,and thu
commissioners no doubt mean it This
will give every man chance wiihou
regard to his politics, and is exactly
what is meant by Civil Service Re
form.

There was large congregation present
at the Delaware Avenue Baptist Church
las. evening, to listen to the farewell ser
mon Of the Rev. j. W. 7, Boothe, D. D.
He selected his text from the 9Gth Psalm:
" Strength aud beauty are In the 6anc-
tuary." He delivered. an eloquent and
impressive sermon, that was attentiyely
listened 70 by the congregation.
When DR.. Bo0thC concluded, the mem
bers OF the church were invited TO remain
after the congregation were dismissed
The doors were then cloeoi and a busi.
ness meeting organized. On motion Of
Harry Emmons, Esq, James H. Weatcott
was elected moderator, aud committee
consisting OF Harry Emm0ns, Esq j. II.
Weetcott, J, H, Applehy, c. II. Gantwell
aud I. A. Mcclure were appointed L
consider the resignation Of DR.. Boothe
The annual meeting will be held thi
evening, when the COMMITTEES will presen
their report.

IP A few more professional people
would adopt the same course as an
actress in New York, who has brought
cult against prominent firm fol- using
her likeness on cigarette cards, It
would not be long until the nuisance
was abolished. In this instance the
firm took picture Of this lsdy's face,
which they attached to a figure
dressed in tights and circulated it as an
advertisement, and she has entered
suit against them for ten thousand
dollars damages, Such pictures con.
vey the impression that the originals
lead immoral lives and are made sug-
Restive for the purpose OF appealing TO
the passions OF the licentious. Be-
cause woman earns her living on the
stage is no reason why her virtue
should be called into question, as
some of the purest women that ever
lived have been and are members of
the theatrical profession. This firm
no doubt belongs to that class of
bigots who think that every actress is
immoral, and they should be made to
pay dearly for their mistaken views.

The acquila,l of DR.. Mellow, who
last week was tried at Charleston for
the murder of Captain Dawson, while
though not unexpected seems 'to'be
travesty of justice. In hls statement,
when on the witness stand, Mellow
claimed that when Captain Dawson
came TO his office he struck him with
his cane, and that he was obliged TO
use his revolver to save his own life.
Yet, according to the evidence as pub
lished, there was nothing 10 show that
Mellow wss" driven 10 the wall with
no chance of escape. as isrequirsd by
the law To justify man for Staying his
assailant. On the other hand, 1t was
shown that Captain Dawson visited
McDow's office for the purpose of set
Ting with the latter for an alleged
criminal intimacy with his governess.
There is no doubt that Dawson had
stated the intention of his visit toa
least two officials, who were within
ear shot oil McDow's office when the
fatal shot was fired, and yet, for some
reason, neither the prosecution OF
defence called these men to-the stand.
The tact that after the murder Mellow
attempted to conceal the body OF his
victim, and did not surrender himself
10 the officers for three hours after
wards. was very much against him,
but was no doubt balanced In the
minds OF the jury by the refusal of the
State to call the friends of Dawson, to
whom he had stated his intention of
calling on Mellow. In some respects
the case was similar to one tried in
THO oity low years sinoo. In this
Instance man lett his workshop and
proceeded 10 the house of another,
with the avowed purpose OF doing him
bodily harm.
He not only went to this mans house
and called him out into the street, but
afterwards Knocked him down, and
was beating him in an outrageous
manner when the father of the man
who was being assaulted interfered,
and drove him off After running
about hundred yards he picked up
two stones and returned, throwing one
at the tather, and was about to throw
the other at the son when be raised a
pistol and fired, inlicting injuries
from which he died in few hours.
When the case was tried, the son was
found guilty OF murder OF the first de-
gree and sentenced to be hanged,
while a verdict ofmurder of the second
degree WAS rendered in the case of the
father, and he WAS sentenced to jail Tor
life. The son was afterwards granted
Q reprieve for ninety years, and the
father was pardoncd, but these two
cases seem to show that justice is diff
ierent in South Carolina, TO what it is
in Delaware.

THE DETALCATIoN of the Supreme
Treasurer of the Order OF Tonti will
give the enemies of that organizat o i,
and also of the Iron Hall, another op.
portunity for renewing their attacks,
II is said that the treasurer Ia forty
thousand dollars short in his accounts,
but as he has given tirst-class securi-
ties to the amount of fifty thousand
dollars the order cannot lose anything,
which is much more than can he said
for the majority Of the old time insur-
ance companies when one of their
trensurers or cashiers takes q notion to
skip TO Canada with hundred thou
sand dollars Of their funds. Every
official of the Iron Hall, or Order oI
Tont, who is entrusted with any Of
the funds Is bonded in a much larger
amount than he will ever have in his
hands at any one time, consequently
the members are protected and The
orders are secured from loss. Al
every member is directly interested IL
these cooperative organizations every
safeguard is adopted 10 keep dishonea
men from using the funds for thei

THE number OF permits issued for
buildings in this city last month shows
a marked increase over the correspond
ing month OF last year. In June, 1883,
there were but 81 permits issued, while
last month there were 4S, among the
latter being the fine new building Tor
the Central Bank at Fifth and Market
streets. Several other large buildings
are contemplated and will be COM
menced in the near future. This is
very gratifying, as 1t shows that while
the population of this city is Increasing
there is also marked increase in its
prosperity. In few more years all
the old buildings on Market street will
have disappeared. aud we will have as
handsome buildings us any city OF the
eize in this country. Still, alter all,
our greatest pride is ia the very many
comfortable homes owned and oecu-
pied by our mechanics, as these are
the best evidences Of thrift and pros
perity that can be adduCed.
