- Mr. HAYES" wonderful effort at reforming the public service. is very truthfully delineated by the repnblican Albany Journal in these striking words: “The civil service business has been a succession of blunders and inconsistencies, It has accomplished no. reform, and brought nothing but weakness and c"onfugi%m."-‘ About the only differenee between the Grant regime and that of Hayes is that some Of Grant’s cronies haye been. “reform‘Bd” out of the service in order to malke room for the eroniegof Stanley Matthews, Wm..M. Evafts, and Madison Woalls& Co. 2 v :

GENUINE REFORM is an utter im-: posgibility under thé administration of Mr. Hayes. His intentions may be ever 80 good ; it is not within his power to accomplish practical results. He is hampered on all sides. . In the distribution of patronage he has in many instances made compromises with the most disreputable politicians, in order to conciliate certain obstreperous factionists. Having less than a half dozen trusty supporters in the U. S. Senate, he is practically at the mercy of Coqkling,' Edmunds & Co., so far as confirmations are concerned. The truth is, Mr, Hayes is too weak a man to “run the machine” successfully without the aid of the republican leaders, and he is too stubborn to call them into consultation, Hence, his administratio/n is bound to prove a failure.

ABOUT A WEEK AGO Senator Thurman introduced a resolution in the Senate to consider the case of Gen, M. _CQ Butler, claiming a seat as duly elected Senator from South Carolina. | Great excitement has prevailed ever since, owing to'the fact that two Republicans (Patterson of South Carolina and Conover of Florida) have expressed a determination to vote with the Democrats, thus giving the latter a majority, Davis, of Illinoig, has al--80 been voting with the Democrats, .The difficulty is to bring the question to a vote, under the! peculiar rules of -the Senate. = Sin¢e Monday the Senate has been in -continuous session, the Democrafs’ refusing to adjourn, and the Republicans consuming time by - reading voluminous documents, Senators eat and sleep in the capitol.— Tuesday afternoon the Republicans finally grew weary over.the struggle and pmtp:ed a preliminary vote to be taken.

S ranuex:ortnx Wm, e - It affords us pleasure ‘to be enabled to announce this week that the House of Representatives hgﬁ%&day passed the bill for the repeal of the third section of the resumption act by a vote of 133 to 120—an uncomfortably small majority but yet great enough for all practical purposes. The bill passed is what is known as Fort’s amendment to the bill reported by Mr. Ewing from the Committee on Currency, and repeals so much of the act as provides that the Secretary of the Treasury ghall redeem the legal tenders outstanding January 1, 1879, and which provides that the Secretary of the Treasury shall reaeem legal tenders to the amount of eighty per cent. of the amount of additional.cii'eulaiting notes issued to national banks. It also repeals the authority given to the Secretary to sell bonds to obtain gold for resumption purposes. The bill now goes to the Senate, where the result is very doubtful. i b

"Of the 133 votes cast in favor of repeal 105 were cast by Democrats and only 28 by Xepublicans. The negative vote was cast'by 92 Republicans and 28 Democratis. All the democratic members from the South, with the exception of Gibson of Louisiana and Schleicher of Texas, voted for repeal, while' all the southern Republicans, with one exception, voted against repeal. Only ohe New England member (Phelps, Democrat of Counn.) voted for repeal. Ben Butler and several other anti-resumptionists dodged—for what purpose we cannot undertake to state. The Indiana delegation voted unitedly for repeal, while the entire Michigan delegation voted against. A majority of the western Republicans voted to please the Shvlocks—a fact likely to be remembered. at the election next fall, when the finance question will be made the main, if not only, issue.

MR, BAKER AND THE RESUMPTION : * ACT, .

In noticing.a recent fling of the Waterloo Press at Congressman Baker, the Auburn Republican observes:

+ “Mr, Baker expresses the sentiment of nine-tenths of his constituents by his opposition to the resumption act, though, contrary to his views when the act was passed, as then he voted for the bill. Mr. Baker shows his ‘willingness to serve the people whom he represents, as well asto right a wrong which he discovers has been enacted by his assistance.” . : . Mr. Baker was first elected in 1874. The Sherman resumption act was approved January 14, 1875, nearly two months before Mr. Baker could have taken his seat as amember of Congress, if a spectal session had been convened. The Repudlican was doubtless misled by a paper in the western part of the: Distriet which erroneously stated several weeks since that Mr, Baker had voted for the resumption bill. - There is little: doubt that he would have done 30 had he been a member at that time, just, as many others did because King Caucus decreed that the bill must be rushed through without debate in order to preserve the unity of the republiean party!l' . .

Not Afraid of the Silver Dollar.

The Washington correspondent of the New York Mercury, who has access to the foreign correspondence of the silver commission, writes as folJowh:, - s “If the New York editors had -all read these interesting letters,as I have read them, they- would soon change their tone. They would ery no longer that the foreign bondholder is to be cheated. On the contrary, there is an evident desire to be paid in silver, so long as the silver dollar is only made heavy enough. From Germany there: are letters that the government is exceedingly anxious to refurn to a double standard. Silver was demonetized there really to annoy France, and the result has been that while France,notwithstanding the payments of its enor‘mous debts, remained prosperous.— Germany has had numerous financial panics since 1871, all of which have led to fearful commercial depression. She seeks now an excuse to return_to ‘the double,standard, andis waiting for the signal. Itis proposed, after our -silver bill is passed —and perhaps it may become part and parcel of the new act—to arrange for an international convention to fix a,unit of value for all countries.” e e e

Tae Chicago Post argues that the recent suspension of several banks in that city “is due to the abominable condition of our financial legislation,which has prostrated all values and made it difficult for banks to get in large sums when they imperatively need them.— It is true that the (Third National) bank has someslow and probably some bad paper, but by the passage of a few dividends these losses could havebéen restored. They have plenty topay off their depositors, even though some securities be sacrificed. The public will not be losers, and the stockholders will have to pay the penalty .of being in the control of a;bank while our wise legislators and our ¢old-blooded Secretary of the Treasury are engaged in cutting off the power of the people to restore prosperity.,” And yet we pre‘sume the Post, which is an orthodox republican organ, would susfain the -very men who have brought this mischief upon the country and stubborn1y refuse to aid in removing the same, ‘rather than advise its readers to vote for democratic nominees. =

The Popular Demand Must be Respect-

Auburn Republican. : 1f Congress doesn’t remonetize. silver and repeal the resumption uct, the political party whieh shall advocate this measure. will doubtless—as it should—sweep every opponent at the next general ' election. We' believe that the Republicans in Congress will favor some nieasures to restore our finanecial = interests, if nothing more than to repeal the resumption act.— ‘The remonetization of silver would do. thework of resumption without ¢rushingﬁg poor. mat;egmgirely; and we ‘would .earnestly recommend the passage of a bill at an early day which shall accomplishthe purpose.

TR T ORI . An unusualdegreeof interest, at this time, enters in Congress. Nof entires nTn I among rival Senators from Louisiana and South Carolina shall obtain seats in the Senate, but whether Congress will free itself from the control of the money kings of this country and of Europe, who have for years past ‘virtually dictated the financial legislation of the country. It is safe to assume | that at least one half of the bonded debt of the country is held in Europe, and these foreign bondholders, with' the ready assistance of the bondholders in this eountry, have captured, by means best known to themselves, parties, statesmen, leaders, newspapers, cabinets and presidents, and the result is that the interests of the toiling mil- | lions have become entirely secondary: to grasping demands of the wealthy | few. Such legislation has, with startling celerity, made the “rich richer, and the poor poorer.” Everywhere darkness and gloom prevail except in the parlors and banking rooms of the millionaires. The millions want' only bread. The millionaires want only more gold, and the groaning millions grind their blood and bones still further to meet the insatiable demand.— Over all this vast sea of wo and want, idleness and hunger, not one-ray of light illumines the wretehed picture. Buat through the gloom the pirate-. sharks force their cruel way in absolute .dominion. - What to Shylock is the silent forge, and loom, and mine, and work shop; what to him the palsied hand of industry that toiled and piled up tke wealth of the country; he hears not, he heeds not; he is not content to take his “three thousand ducats,” but he will have his “pound of flesh” as well. And this sad and sickening condition of affairs has not yet, I fear, reached its lowest depths.— While many thousan(}s' of business men have already gone beneath the | waters, and hundreds of millions of wealth invested in the various industries of the country have been hopelessly sunk, other and greater disasters, and farther reaching in their calamities, are yet to come upon the country. Thousands who have thus far been enabled to stand the shock of the storm, and keep their heads above the dark and yawning waters, will one by one, ahd day by day, go down, while above their heads the pirate crafts of the money kings will ride the waves and storm still seeking further prey. And out of this bottomless pit of distress and ruin Shylock coins his gold. He still hoards up his untold millions, while the hand of labor that préduced it vainly asks for bread. That something is radically and fearfully wrong somewhere, is at onee apparent-to the most indifferent observer. Why, let me ask, in a country like ours, should all.its great industries be thus paralyzed? One class of prophets inform us that over-production has caused all the ‘ruin. Another class<have ransacked the commercial statistics, and ‘assure us that “the balance of trade” is against us, and until we can obtain ‘that balance in our favor we cannot hope for better times. These two causes as factors in the problem of natioixal prosperity are virtually one and the same thing. But over-production, and trade balances, whatever else they may do, have not caused our financial distress. The ruinous measures of legislation, preparatory to specie resumption a year” hence, is at the hottom of all our troubles. Contraction, like an unseen worm, is eating into the vitals of the country. This cutting in on the circulation of greenbacks, has cut out the very heart and. life of the industries of the country. This wicked, ruinous haste to bring about specie resumption is blamable

for our financial troubles. To one man in this country, the cold, icy leader of the bondholders, belongs the proud ‘“bad eminence” of the ruin of his country. The “yery head and front” in this crusade of disaster is John Sherman. - For years in the Senate he was Chairman of the Tinance Committee. He. has shaped the financial policy of the country for years, This policy has brought greater disastérs in its train than all the Confederate rebels who plotted the overthrow of the Union, succeeded in inflicting on the country. Politically the country is enjoying profound peace. Not a KuKlux anywhere, not a “nigger” shot for months; the poor old “bloody shirt” is put out of sight forever, The South is as quiet as any section of the country, yet stagnation, prostration and death in every business industry of -the country! Thevalue of all sorts of property, except government bonds, is going down, down, down; banks and savings institutions busting in all the cities; business firms by the scores and hundreds every day, in all parts of the country, going under; the sheriffs’ in every county in the United States busy selling out the farmer, the merchant, the mechanic and the laborer; property in the cities shrinking up { from thirty to sixty per ¢ent., and sold under the hammer in most cases for taxes; millions of men and women who eagiédaiheirj living in the productive industries of the country, out of emplwmeﬂnandwiﬁhiimcgwmmbe-J | fore them, tramping: the country beg- | g for breadiSutely thos ave por ‘ i%ﬁmmwwwmhaf leaves | Gt deplomue iy o oy Wﬁhﬂ?’?’i’*”#%‘é’%ﬁm‘ { man, who has for years impressed his mrmm’w | 8t the head of the Nationd!

Gt Cpan sl e e B SWS T his cars. Tho bondholder must have his gold, is all the reply he makes, o Zho bistory of thetinkering by Congress with the acts orlginating the the country. The bondholders made the demand, and a truckling Congress yielded. The bondholders demanded that the law should be changed so that he should have his pay in gold .alcﬁe.;{ Now the truth is that the bonds were to be paid “in coin of the standard value of the United States on July 14th; 1870, At this date the silver dollar was equally with the gold dollar legaltender. It therefore follows that such bonds as have been sold since the above date are to be paid by the government at its option in the coin of the United States of standard value on July 14th, 1870, the date of the laW}‘mown as, the Refunding Aeti— Yetfin the act of February 12th, 1873, enumerating the kinds of silver coin to be issued, the standard silver dollar was purpesely omitted; and when, on the 24th of July, 1876, Judze Kelley, a member of Congress f{ropi Plgla_dele phia, ‘moved to suspend the rules, and that the ITouse pass a bill to provide for the coinage of the standard silver dollar, and to restore its legaltender character, the Ilouse refused to do so. The bondholders were on hand, and not only had the standard silver dollar omitted from the act of Februarv 12th, 1873, but also opposed and prevented tlje passage of Judge Kelley’s bill offered July 24th, 1876, The bondholder wantsno silver in his. He wants gold, and to obtain it he would see every industry of the country utterly wrecked before he will forego his demand. The great mass of the people demand the restoration of the standard silver dollar, and that it shall be without limit legal-tender ifor all debts, public. and individual! The bondholder is no better than any other creditor; they do not pay their own debts in gold; they did not pay the gold for their bonds, and they should be content to receive in return the same kind of money they paid 'when they bought the bonds: But another question and I will close. Can the Government resume specie payment at the end of a year, as the resumption law contemplates? We have nearly $750,000,000 “of ‘paper: money in the country, and the day of resumption is. distant about thirteen months, and there is not to exceed $40,000,000 of gold accumulated in the Treasury and the banks, Now where is the goldand silver to come from? €an:.we get it from our mines? No! Can wegetit abroad? No! To resume specie payment, we must have gold and silver equal in amount to the paper money to be redeemed, otherwise the gold gamblers alone would ge‘t’it; the people who bhave waited and suffered and lost their all would find that the bondholder® had become still richer and the poor still poorer, and that, instead of the “gpod times” so eloquent1y predicted by the contractionists to follow after January, 1879, nothing but wretchedness and misery had accumulated ten-fold as their portion of the results of the resumption legislation of Congress. Far better for the country would 1t have been if we had h#d no Congress for the last five or six years. If this matter of resumption were let alone it would regulate itself, From great financial calamities nationd recover slowly, and legislation too often is meddlesome.and hurtful. What the people want is an unconditional repeal of the date cl of the Resumption Act; the re-n;one%zation of the standard silver dollar, with all its original. legal-t;endexzch.aracter; a big,strong ring securely putin the nose of thebondholder ;and then let Congress keep its itching fingers off the national finances; and then with prudence, ‘and patience, and hope, and above all courage, we may come up out of the wilderness and. pass over into the promised land. - TUNcLE ToBY.

o e i Deviltry at Plymounth., . - Nearly two years ago Mrs. Chaney, wife of G. B. Chaney, alawyer, of Plymouth, while out walking was overtaken by a masked stranger, who beat her severely and then warned her to leave the neighborhood if she valued her life. No attention was paid to the threat, and all efforts to discover the perpetrator of the ontrage proved abortive. Six mouths ago she was shot at in her own house, and had a narrow escape.

One Hundred and Five Mariners Go

Down to Death.

- The news columns of the dailies of last Monday were freighted with an appalling disaster at sea. The United States sloop-of-war Huron, with 135 officers and men aboard, struck, Saturday morning, when twelve hours out from Fortress Mouroe, bound' for Havana, and went down on the rocks off the North Carolina coast, near the signal station Kittyhawk. There was a terrible gale blow_i['ng at the time and no assistance could be rendered the ill-fated vessel, and the sea breaking over her in heavy waves she soon went down, and is a total loss. Thue report says-that only about thirty men, including four of the officers, all of them of minor grade, were saved. The life station was not in service, and if it had been no boat could have lived in the sea that was raging at the time. Sunday afternoon, thirty-six hours after the ship went down, a life-boat started out to the wreck and was swamped, and nine more lives were swallowed up by the remorseless deep. Lo s st T'he scene of the disaster 1s just off the northeast eoast of North Carolina, between Capes Henry and Hatteras. Only seven bodies have yet been recovered from the wreck. ‘The Huron was a third-rate iron screw-propeller, of 841 tons buyrthen, carrying four large guns and schooner-rigged. The chief officer wasLieutenant-Command-er George P. Ryan, of Massachusetts, who is said to have been an excellent seaman. The engine, or serew, must have- got out of order in some way, and in such a storm as prevailed at the time her sails were of no benefit to her. The disaster is the severest blow the navy has had for many years, and the terrible loss of life, wlich might have been prevented had the life-station been in service, calls for a rigid examination into the management of that department of the service..

A Human Monster.

In the world’s annals of crime there is not a chapter darker, or bloodier, or more diabolical, than that furnishéd by Frank Rande, the lllinois outlaw, who was captured at St. Louis on last Friday morning atter a bloody, stubborn, and unequal fight in which one brave policeman lost his life. Rande is no other than the St. Elmo and Gilson muxrderer, who killed four men, wounded as many more, and made good his escape. These terrible tragedies were enacted during the months of August and September last, since. which time the officers have been on his track in hot pursuis. On Friday lagt three policemen ftried to arrest him in a pawn-office in St. Louis, and 'only succeeded by sheer force after wounding the desperado, who had already fatally shot one of the officers. Rande is now in custedy and is in a fair way to recover. He is a very remarkable- man--entirely without a parallel in tHe annals of crime. He was a New York fondling and was raised in Lafayette, this State. He was a member of the Tenth Indiana Regiment, and while in the army developed his elements as a desperado. eis only twenty-five years of age, weighs 145 pounds, of low stout build, is an ‘expert with a revolver, shooting with unerring aim with either hand, is well educated, has read medicine, is familiar with the poets, and studied theology with the purpose of entering thie ministry, but becoming disgusted with the hypocrisy of the churches, became a skeptic, and five years ago entered upoun his career of crime. e claims to have burglarized 100 houses and to have killed 150 men, Though wounded seriously and convinced that his life will ‘'pay the penalty of his crimes,he is defiant, flippant, blasphemous, unrepentant, and full of reckless bravado. He is a fiend incarnate, a monster as eruel as Nero, as diabolical a 8 Alva, as remorseless as Molo‘c& as terrible as the furies of hell, a blGody, slimy monstrosity from which humanity turns with a shudder that chills fo the heart.—Kokomo Dispatch.,

A Brave Girl.

At Belmont, Warren county, lowa, on the night of the 13th,three masked men attempted to rob the house of a farmer named -Cadigan. One of the robbers effected an entrance, when he encountered Miss Cadigan, the farmer's danghter, who had been awakened by his proceedings. The robber without a word drew a revolver and pointed it at her. 'The brave girl instantly sprang towards him, eaught the pistol, and pushed it down, when it was discharged, the ball entering her right breast., She tore oif the man’s mask and found his face blackened, so she did not recognize him.— She then pushed him out of doors, when he fired again, the ball entering her hand. As he went out of thedoor another man outside said: *“How .do you like that?” The speaker she instantly recognized as a man named Proctor, who had several times visited their house and made inquiries as to whether her father had sold his crops, ete. Proctor was arrested the next day and fully identified by the dying girl, after which he was taken from the hands of the officers by a crowd of several hundred men and summarily hanged. His two accomplices had not been taken. A B

Wayne Sentinel says: Last evening a little daughter of Christian Gruber; landlord of the Phillips House, retired to bed, and during the night was attacked by a rat, which bit her nose partially off. Her screams brought assistance, and his ratship, who was gorged with blood was summarily dispatched. The little one’s-injuries are quite severe and painful, and itis feared she is disfigured for life. : She is only eight years of age. ‘
