Decoration Day, the 30th, coming on Sunday, the ladies have determined to observe toe custom of decorating the fallen heroes' graves on Saturday. The committee of arrangements will meet at Library building in the morning for the reception of floral contributions. . A special solicitation is made that country people oming to the city that day will bring In whatever flowers and evergreens - they feel disposed to share for the laudable purpose. Thanking the eitisens who have been so liberal in their - Mah contributions they also ask that : they be sot forgetful of the scarcity of flowers and urge them to contribute as many as possible of their scanty lot. .Parties whose fallen soldier friends sleep under distant skies will t find that s special provision has been made for their offerings in the shape' 01 a monument to their loved one s memory. If yon have but a meager contribution to make, do not think it not worth while to contribute any but bring it along. The season being so backward none but comparatively small contributions will be expected, but-many 6T them are what are asked for. My Hd Retrenchment. The resolutions of the city convention, approved by our Mayor, mean just what they say, and the citizens of Richmond the Republican portion have deliberately endorsed them by electing Dr. J. F. Hibberd to the Mayorality, ' A decrease of the public debt, by making no new engagements, and an application of all funds to that purpose that can be spared from necessary expenses gradual reduction of taxes, from year to year, so that they shall not exceed one per cent., and to accomplish all this "rigid economy" is promised to be practiced. To do this more effectually, and to show that Republican promises mean something, and are not made to tickle the ear for political effect-'-to only . last nntu tne result ox an election is announced, we trust tne good work will be commenced, when the Finance Committee make np the "slate" for salaries of the different officers. We think that HERE is the proper place to commence, and make a discount of not less than twenty per cent, from - A saving may be made, too, in cutting off the office of Chief-of-Police, and conferring his duties on the Marthai thai "filth wheel" can ami should be dispensed with. A slight raise of the. Marshal's salary would make that office worth attending to; besidos he would be held directly responsible to the people; whereas theChief loots to the Board of Police for favor, and is only careful how he may conduct himself so as to keep it. Our opinions, expressed very freely In the past, of the course pursued by the last Democratic administration of city a flairs, have undergone no ehange. Had we the power, we'd cut off the Wood-measurer, and tha office of City Attorney both of which we think are useless appendages especially the Attorney. The cost of .maintaining that officer, falls with great hardship on a class of individually drunkards, whose families need the money that goes into that officer's pocket to keep them from starvation. As it is now, between the liquor-seller and the City Attorney, the drunkard and his family is shown no mercy. We are not .in possession of power; but we venture humbly to raise our voice for economy, retrenchment and reform, iu behalf of the best interests of the city and the drunkard's family; and we ask our city authorities to adhere rigidly to the Republican resolutions we allude to above. m Terrible Conflagration. Advices from Mauch Chunk, Pa., of the 22d, state that severe mountain fires have been raging in Carbon eounty for tho past few days, and an immense amount of lumber, sawed logs and dwelling houses have been burned in . Hickory Run and Mud Run regions, and only a heavy rain fall eaa extinguish them. .The inhabitants, of the latter place have suffered TeirTDlyiroin the flames, numerous families only escaping with their lives, all their household goods and residences being lost. Five saw mill!) and eighteen dwellings already have burned in this place. At Osceola 230 houses were destroyed and 400 families rendered homeless. At several other points the fire has been equally destructive. On Monday a thousand rations were issued to the sufferers at Osceceola. The counties of Pike, Wayne, Sullivan and Mourse have been pretty generally swept by the flames, and it is said bears, deer, wild pigeons, and all kinds of game have been driven by the fires on Pacono range into enclosures with tame cattle in the settlements. Latest intelligence from that region , brings the cheering news .that heajy! rains were falling, which, it is hoped, ' will soon put an end to this terrible conflagration. t V Marion Criminal Conrt. the A Ll A' " " 1 . case of Daniel K.

They are divided and quarreling among them- , selves, and cannot arrive at any defi- ' nite course of action.

Aor : : ' ?": Charles Francis Adams has been selected as the orator of the opening of the Centennial Fair next year; Henry W. Longfellow, .the poet; Ralph Waldo Emerson, reader of the Declaration of Independence, and General Sherman, grand marshal. - Mrs., Lincoln, widow of the late President Lincoln,, was declared insane by the county court of Cook county, Wednesday, of last week, and has been taken to the hospital at Batavia, Illinois, for treatment. Sunday's Free Press says:. "Mr. Bright was elected Preside.nl, pro tern, with all the powers of a Vice President; .and if (General Pierce had died, by virtue of his office, he would have been President of the United States." Not quite so fast, neighbor. A Vice President pro ' tern cannot be President, nor can the Senate confer j such a right. Jesse D. Bright died at his home in Baltimore, Md., on Thursday last. He was born in Chenango county, N. Y., in 1812, and removed to this State early in life. He has beea successively honored by the people of the State, first, as Circuit J udge, State Senator, U. S. Senator, Lieutenant-Governor of the State, and Presideat of the United States Senate for several sessions, lie was elected to that body three times 1845, 1851 and 1857; and, finally, in February, 1862, he was expelled from the Senate for avowing disunion sentiments. Thus ended the public career of Jesse D. Bright. Scientific Association. We are pleased to learn that the Scientific Association promises to be not only a success but an ornament to our city. For two years a Scientific Association has been in existence in Richmond, its work being limited to the delivery of weekly lectures on scientific subjects during the winter. At the close of the course of lectures in March it-seemed desirable that- the Association be established on a more solid basis. It was therefore incorporated under the laws of the State, and now has a legal existence under the name of "The Scientific Association of Richmond, Ind." The by-laws provide Xha.t the officers cf the Association shall be a President, Vice-President, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, and five Directors, who shall be elected by the members of the Association, and hold office for one year. For the present year the officers elected are Dr. Jas. F. Hibberd, President; Prof. Wm. M. Jackson, Vice-President; Dr. D. II. Dougan; Recording Secretary and Treasurer, L. B. Case, Corresponding Secretary; Directors, Dr. Jas. F. Hibberd, Wm. M. Jackson. L. B. . Case. A. S. Reed, and Dr. J. &,. Wit. The Directors elect the President and the other officers named, and they with the President constitute the Council, which has the entire management of the affairs of the Association. The articles of incorporation state the objects of the Association to be "the cultivation and dissemination of knowledge through scientific methods." To carry out this purpose the bylaws provide that a museum shall be established, the leading object of which shall be "the illustration of the Natural History of Wayne Co." This shall be open to the public under such regulations as the Council may make. The museum shall be under the charge of a curator; A. S. Reed, the druggist, holds this office at present. The museum is divided into the following departments, with the persons named in charge: Vertebrates Dr. J. R. Weist Invertebrates L. B. Case. Geology and Mineralogy Professor Wm. M. Jackson. Paleontology Mary P. Haines. Botany A. S. Reed. Entomology Joseph C. Ratliff. Ornithology Daniel W. Johnson. Ethnology J. R. Weist. Archaeology Dr. Jas. F Miscellaneous Dr. Jas. Hibberd. F. Hibherd. The third story of the Richmond National Bank buildiag, corner of Main and Pearl, has been secured for the present purposes of the museum. An elegant, and well-lighted room, 30 by 60 feet, is now ready to receive specimens. Lancaster, Thompson & Co. are just now finishing some fine walnut cases for holding specimens. We are informed by the parties in charge of the departments that a very fair collection will be opened to the public at an early day. Among the collections on hand, there are more than a thousand species of land and fresh water shells. In these are over f-even hundred varieties, purchased by Jas. M. Starr on the Pacific coast. A fine collection of ores, geological and mineralogical specimeus; botanical specimens; microscopic sections of various woods; a very complete collection of mounted birds, mainly put up by our well known Taxidermic artist,-Daniel W. Johnson. A complete set of our own lower tilurian

fossils, besides those from many other localities, are on hand. . Many relics of the mound builders are on hand. We are also . informed that a collection of old and modern coins, embracing more than a thousand pieces, will be on deposit; also, a collection of Egyptian antiquities, etc., etc. Objeets-forrlhe museum are to be obtained by donation or deposit. That is, objects may be given to the museum, or deposited subject to removal at will of depositor. Thus persona having specimens of interest that they do not wish to give away, or lose control of, can make tbem serve a higher purpose than if retained in their own private collection.

The by-laws of the Association also provide for the formation of a Scientific Library, and we understand that near a hundred volumes have already been received from the Smithsonian Institution and other sources for the collection of scientific, apparatus for the illustration of lectures etc., and also for courses of scientific lectures. The requisite for membership is the ownership of one or more shares of stock shares are twenty dollars each in addition, each member pays an annual tax of five dollars. The Association has at present a boat fifty members, and among these we find. the names of many of our most wealthy and influential citizens, including bankers, merchants doctors, lawyers, teachers, and manufacturers. There seems to be m -aioubt about the complete success of the enterprise, backed up as it is by the intelligence, scientific culture and wealth of so many of our citizens. We -are glad to chronicle this additional ornament to our already attractive city. A well arranged museum is, however,, more than ornamental, it is an important means of education, and we arc fully persuaded that the Scientific Association of Richmond, through its museum and lectures, will do much to excite in the minds of our young people a love for the study of science, or rather Nature a study engaging the highest faculties of the human mind. An OvcrhanlioK. There is said to be a great deal of speculation and no little anxiety among politicians at the national capital. They cannot clearly discern the result of the recent raid 'upon the whisky ring, but have a feeling that it is a part of a stupendous political scheme to remove a large number of prominent officials, and replace them with the followers of other magnates tne new cabinet othcers, tor instance. It Commissioner Douglas was removed simply because he was asleep on his post, what will become of those who are never at their posts, or have been the tools of the whisky swindlers? They see their political heads in tho basket and the ghastly sight makes them faint at heart. There appears to be some ground for this "certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation." The fact is that President Grant in calling to his cabinet such men as Bristow, Jewell and Pierrepont, has surrounded himself with a class of men who have shown themselves eager and competent to reform the public service wherever corruption appears or incompetency has allowed abuses to creep in. The Postmaster-General has shown his firm purpose by the summary course he has pursued to ward the straw-bidders, the cheating contractors, the clerks who sold themselves to plunderers, the mail-bag swindlers, and in snubbing such officials as Sam Baird. General Bristow began early in the Treasury Department. He surprised the Mulletts by showing them that the Minister of Finance was not simply an official to sign papers as a matter of course. Now he has stepped outside of the regular channels and surprised the internal revenue bureau by exposing the iniquities of the whisky ring and taking measures to bring these swindlers to justice. Judge Pierrepont yho takes the Department of Justice is supposed to be a man of the same mould. Such cabinet changes look like a purpose on the part of President Grant to inaugurate a reform of the civil service which will amount to something and the first move against the whisky ring; and those officials who have allowed the combination to grow while neglecting their duty, is certainly an indication that the work has begun in earnest. It may be a stupendous secret political scheme, but it is xne which promises more for good government than the score of indeiendent party movements which reformers have attempted the past ten years. Let us hope that the work may be carried on with the same zeal and determination with which it has been begun. Let the inefficient be removed and the guilty punished to the lull extent of the law. We do not, however, think that this movement against the whisky ring is aTt of a "stupendous secret political scheme." Indeed, we think that it disposes of the third term nonsense more effectually than a formal declaration. All along we have been told that the President was going to secure a third nomination by the aid of the well trained army of office-holders. If such was the case, he would not now be taking measures which will most certainly alienate many of this efficient corps of helpers. The fact is there is a reckoning day at hand and. .we shall not be surprised to witness a very respectably sized procession of sorrowing gentlemen who have seen service but will see it no more. At least, such is the impression of the best informed Republican iournals and things do point that way. Well, let it move. 1'ortland Elaine; ; f ! o -From Kansas. A correspondent of the Laurenceburg Press, writing from Wichita, has this to say of the grain and fruit prospects there: "Corn planting is about over here. From what I have seen and heard, I think there is about the f-ame average planted as last year. It is to be hoped that we will have a better crop though. The fall wheat looks fine; I never saw a better prospect than we have here; it stands knee high all oyer the fields, and just as thick as it can stand. Wheat will be ready for the reaper here by the 12th of June at the farthest, and we will be eating bread from the new croD by July 1st. Oats and barley look first rate, and bid fair ; to make gooa returns., v eperanies oi kinds look fine. Fruit The peach crop in the north and eastern part of the State is all killed; but in the south and western part there will be about a half crop. Other fruits are not much injured. ' To Test tne Onailty or Wool. The quality of wool may be tested by takiug a lock from the sheep's back and placing it on an accurately measured inch. If the spirals count from thirty to thirty-three in the space of an inch, it equals the finest Electoral and Saxony wool. Tho diminution of the number of folds to the inch hows the inferiority.

The Hon. Schuyler Colfax has in

formed a renorter of the feouth isend Tribune that his receipts the present lecture season have aggregated over SUVIlOO. The Tribune says: "Mr Colfax's many friends will be glad to know that he has been so successiu pecuniarily, as those here at home know he again experiences a return to the buoyant elasticity of his early manhood, by the absenco of that careworn expression from his face and his vigorous health. He says himself that far better than the money his lectures have brought, is the fact that he haa had the lolliest Winter, and tne best health he has enjoyed for twenty years. Mr. Colfax has now more in vitations tor next season than would fill every night for the entire winter, but he has as yet only engaged the month of November in New England, and one nicht in December in Boston He may well snap his fingers at the evanescent joys and ill-recompensed labors of the office-holders. THE FIRST DECLARATION. Beaolntlons Known as (bo MecKlen. baric Declaration of Independence. - The following is the declaration of Independence-alleged to have been adopted 'by a convention of patriots assembled nt Charlotte, Mecklenburg county, North -jCavolina, May . 20, .1775, more than year before the declaration by the Continental Congress: Resolved, That whoever, directly or indirectly, abetted, or in any way.form or maimer countenanced, the unchartered and dangerous in vasion of onr rierhts, as claimed bv Great Britain, is an enemy to this county, to America, and io the inherent and inalienable rigrhts of man. Resolved, That we, the citizens ' of Mecklenburg county, do hereby dissolve the political bonds which have connected ns to the rnother country, and hereby absolve our selves from all allegiance to the British crown, and abjure all political connection, contract or asso ciation with that nation, who have wantonly trampled on our rights and liberties, and inhumanly shed the blood of American patriots at Lexington. Resolved, That we hereby declare ourselves a free and independent people; are, and of right ought to be a sovereign and self governing association, under the control of no power other than that of our God and the general gov crnment of the congress; to the maintenance of which we pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our most sacred honor. Resolved, That as we now acknowledge the existence and control of no law or legal officer, civil or military, within this county, we do hereby ordain and adopt as a rule of life, all, each and every of our former laws wherein, nevertheless, the crown of Great Britain never can be considered as holding rights, privileges, immunities, or authorities therein. . "Resolved, That it is further 'desired that all, each and every rnili tary officer in this county is hereby reinstated in his former command and authority, ho acting conformably to those regulations, and that every member present of this delegation shall henceforth be a civil officer, viz : A justice of the pea?e in the character of a "committeeman,'' to issue process, here and determine all matters of controversy, according to the said adopted laws, and to preserve peacej union and harmony in said county; and to use every exertion to spread the love of country and fire of freedom throughout America, until a more general and or ganized government be established in this province. Mysterious Disappearance. Last Sunday evening, Mr. O. H. Boslick, residing near Camden, O., went to church in company with his wife to Camden. Just before the conclusion of the service he went out to get his horse and bug gy in readiness, eince which time he has not been seen and it is feared that foul play has been used, as he was destitute of means at the time, although having a considerable sum of money due him in Cin cinnati. Mr. BosticU was spare built, about six feet in heightdark complexion, about twenty three yeai s of age, has a finger off one , of his hands. The animal he was driving was a light dun mare, black mane and tail, attached to an open buggy about half worn,and painted a dark color. His Marital relations were happy, and he exhibited no symptoms of insanity, hence the conclusion that he has been " mnr dered. Any information concerning him will be gratefully received and suitably rewarded if left . at Bostick's book 6tore in Richmond, or with Bostick Bro's, Camden, Ohio. A Sensible View. At a recent meeting of the Social Science Association, of Michigan, Prof. C. A .Kent, one of the lecturers in the Law Department of the Michigan University, read the following interesting paper on Political Parties, their Organization and Management, and the Evils Thereof:" ' Political parties are, the Professor says, a necessity of the age, and are fully developed in free countries. Through them come reforms, but since professions of reforms are easy, and will be made alike by all parties, it is impossible that any party can hold together on one reform basis for any length of time. Rarely can a man or newspa per hold aloof from party and have much influence. Direct influence on governmental action is only ob tained by party ties. A leader must not step outside his party. If he does, influence and leadership desert him. Intelligent members of a party usually prize it only as a means of carrying out their politi cal ideas; but their number is small The Professor describes the tisan ends 'which are sought by '

adherents of a party, whether dominant or in tho minority. The ideal after winch a party should strive is to put its best and wisest men at the head, and when in power it may be tested under the most favorable circumstances. Among the chief defects in tho manage ment of parties are . . lib.' great excess of party prejudices, manifested in ultra views and statements of the most intelligent men. For ' this defect there seems no remedy except a gradual education to lietter way s. 2. Paironage of the government, which grows out of the desire of the party managers to make their adherents zealous. This is the most corrupting and greatest of all defects. It causes caucuses to be packed, it makes lobbies, and raises money for corrupting and bribing voters. To provide an effectual remedy is extremely difficult, But a remedy might be found in a rule prescribing that executive appointments be made for definite and somewhat lengthy periods, expiring

at times remote from tho executive election, and by requiring qualifi cations, including character and experience. Official salaries should be revised, and .made only large enough to attract suitable men. 3. The growing difficulty of get ting competent men to become candidates for office. One reason for this difficulty is the small sala ries paid to some important officers. This is hard to remedy. Another reason id the service that is required of a candidate during the canvass, together with fhe drain on bis purse for ihe purpose of influe nc ing votes. This is a thing that a highminded man will not submit to, and without it election is almost impossible. Hence, poor or honest men can not secure offices. They remain tho prey of the rich and unscrupulous. The sacred duty of good citizens in these premises is to take a deep er interest in politics. JLeachers should enforce this; preachers preach it. However distasteful, let eveiy citizen belong to some party and strive to purify it by attending the primaries and by defeating unworthy nominations. Perfection is impossible, but by such means as those suggested much will be gained, and the world be benefited. Foreign. The Italian Senate has voted a national donation to Gen. Garibaldi. - Highway robbery and murders are so frequent lately in the streets of Havana, Cuba, that the acting Captain General, who has himself been robbed in the street of his watch and jewelry, worth 1,400, has ordered all culprits hereafter to be tried by military authorities.

The Paris Moniteur, in an editorial referring to the course taken by the British government during the iecent war alarm, says: "England by raising her voice in favor of peace has naturally recovered her just authority and influence in continental afiairs, and the present Ministry has acquired a degree of strength and power which will pro cure for it the greateful respect of Europe. The Honolulu Advertiser says the reciprocity treaty with Hawaii has been ratified by his majesty, and will be sent forward to "Wash ington for the exchange of ratifica tions by the May steamer. An article in the London Times of Wednesday morning presents a contrast between English and American efforts to reduce the na tional debt. 'VWe cannot but feel regret," says the Times, "that the United States in this respect shows more the high spirit of a nation conscious of a great destiny, and anxious above all things that no shortcomings of the present generation shall interfere with the teach ings their children hsve received."

All over Europe a beneficent change has been felt, -but the markets are little altered. Prices are perhaps a shilling low er. ".,.,!

Our Readers will remember the account published a short time ago of the tarring and feathering of a young woman in Iowa by some of the leading ladies of the town where the occurrence happened. On Friday last, sixteen of them were arrested on a charge of riot, when five were Iound over to court in the sum of $1,000 each, and the remainder held for further exami nation. They are in a fair way to discover that even indignant ladies can not be allowed to take the law into their own hands. Commenting on the adjournment of the .Massachusetts Legislature, The Boston Journal savs: "Et brings with it a certain measure of relief to the general public There is always a fear while the General Court is in session that some folly may be perpetrated, or some act rushed through that will anect public or private interests It "would seem tbat legislative wis dom does not rate much higher in Yankeeland than in some other localities.
