THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 27.1879.

PORTUGAL has finally granted the Protestants the same rights and priviliges enjoyed by other sects. ,^ ..j*

A KECENT Internal Revenue decision prohibits the use of any imitation of foreign liquor packages. This is of interest to practitioners at the bar.

BEK. BUTLER is the owner of three houses, but his soul is filled with bitterness because he can neither buy, beg nor steal the gubernatorial mansion of Massachusetts, "which the same" is located in Boston.

A RUMOR is current that Tilden tavor8 the nomination of Charles Francis Adams, in the event ot his failing to secure the place himself. The sage of Gratrmercy Park, however, has not vet retired from the field himself.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York Sun nominates Wm. H. English, of Indiana, and Horatio Seymour, Jr., of New York, for President and VicePresident. It is not a ticket with which to start a boom.

A NEW cable from'the coast of France to sonic point in Canada, is one of the possibilities or rather probabilities of next year. Greatly reduced rates of tolls on cablegrams will be the first and best point of the competition thus created.

A MOVEMENT is on foot to make an international park at Niagara, which shall include within its limits all the attractions of the Falls. This will have a tendency to clip the wings of the greedy cormorants who consume the substance of the unwary excursionist,who has heretofore betn made to bleed at every £fcre.

DIAZ, the President of the Mexican Republic, caught the Civil Service reform fever from R. B. Hayes, just as that distinguished statesman was recovering, and now Mexican office-holders are forbidden tu have anything to do with politics. How virulent the attack is and how long it may last, remains to be seen.

GOVERNOR HOYr, of Pennsylvania, has the superlative met it of frankness whatever may be thought of his sense or discretion. He announces now that he is in favor of Grant for a third and for a fourth term and for as many more terms as he may be induced to accept. There is a breezeness about this declaration •which u—is breezy.

the militia was not worse than useiess for anv except a useless purpose. In the last Atlantic Monthly a military, writer, who evidently knows what he is talking of, shows that even the war of the Revolution they ran nearly every time they met the British, and nearly ail the disasters the Continental army suffered came from their cowardly blundering. It was the same way in the War ot the Rebellion and in the recent railroad riots the militia were called out only to decline an engagement with the rioters, or be ludicrously and calamitously whipped. During the same dangerous days in San Francisco it was deemed prudent to pen up the milia in their several armories and keep them there, while the untrained civilian, hastily organizing himself, gently admonished the insurrectionary skull with a pick handle.

Of course, al! this is the fault, not of the men, but of the system. Tested in the large way, and under parallel circumsiances of organization, discipline,and allegiance, men are about equally courageous but if Agamemnon himself were a member of one of our 'crack companies' called out to confront anything that could shoot, he would decline the honor as fast as ever he could pick up his feet.''

A CURIOUS question is just now agitatating political circles in California. At the last election in San Francisco, as our readers know, the Woikingmen elected their candidate for Mayor, and many other city officers. In fact they elected their entire municipal ticket. Some of their defeated Republican competitors have contested their election on grounds which are novtl, and, so far, us we know, quite new. It seems that during the canvass the workingmen advocated their own selection, and promised in the event of their election to restore a portion of the salaries attaching to the several offices. They favored a reduction of salaries if they should get sufficient power to carry the point, but if they could not do that, would do the next best thing, as already stated, viz: restore a portion of it to the treasury. Their defeated Republican contemporaries contest their election on the ground that this promise to the voters was tantamount to bribery, und that they are disqualified from holding their places on that account. What devil of folly could have prompted the Republicans to so suicidal a course it is difficult 'w to determine. Of course it is not bribery and no jury of taxpayers would ever find it to be bribery. If the workingmen's party stood upon a platform as sound and sensibte in all its plkriks, as thoise against which the Republicans are butting their heads in vain, it would not be a bad partv to plant in other parts of the countrv.

RETURNING BOARDS. Last week an article appeared in the Indianapolis Evening News animadverting severely on the Democrats and Greenbackers of Maine for a supposed intention on their part to organize themselves into a Returning Board a la South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana, and count the Republicans out. The GAZETTE. commented on the article. It was not surprised at the indignation of the News. That was right enough and proper enough,But in its article appeared trie statement that "if the Democrats consumated this outrage they might as well ab.-tain trom the trouble and expense of going through a national election next year." This seemed not to be reasonable, fair or right. We could not see and do not see how an outrage in one State, extending in its effects no farther than the State, could damn the party throughout the whole country, while a rival party, the Republican, could feed and fatten and thrive an the same outrage, their own inventflon, perpetrated in three States, and having more than local significance. since the presidency and the control of the general, government wa6 stolen by that means. To this article the News of Saturday made reply as follows-

A cdRR&si'ONDENTNvrites to lrt^Ulre if there is any truth in thn 6tory he has heard about a novel attempt to recover the stolen bones of A. T. Stewart. He has been informed, he savs, that an enormous trumpet is to be constructed on which a frightful blast is to be blown, by a thousand horse-power engine, at the seDulchral hour of midnight. The idea is to deceive the bones into the belief that of going through a national eleetion next

the day cf judgment has come, and that' Gabriel's horn is blowing. He wants to know if this so. The GAZETTE has no hesitation whatever in pronouncing it a canard. Judge Hilton would not squander money on t.o absurd a device. He knew his benefactor too well during his life. And he knows that A. T. Stewart was too smart a man ever to have sported bones that could be fooled by so weak an imitation of the real Gabriel and his real hern. Our correspondent may possess his soul in patience. His informants were hoaxing him. „. -,

AN Idle scoffer on the Pacific coast disposed to look upon the militia with a scornful eve. He thinks they lack the nerve of regulars and are useless in action. He backs up his statement with the following assertions which can be abundantly proven to be only partially true at the best, and for the most part false: 7,

It really does not make" much differ ence upon whom militiamen fire they never damage anybody but themselves and indiscreet spectators. We defy any man to point out a half dozen instances in the history of the United States when

year, and with one voice want to know why that which is a mortiU sin in Democracy should be but a pecadillo in Republicanism. Where are our fires of wrath for the Republican rape of three states by the same means the Democrats now propose to steal one wail these wioral engines of the Wabash. For answer we can say, they rose in due season and we don't propose to make the present bonfire any the lt-ss hot because other* in time past deserved roasting. It is and has been this papers constant purpose $ brand scoundrelism wherever it sees it. undeterred by any pleas that bigger scoundrels have got away. .It is the bird in the hand that we are after, and we aie 6ick of the lamentations about its being sacrificed because there are two more in the bush of another political feather worth gunning for. We will al tend to the political towl in Maine just now, and keep the powder dry tor the next one that rises, no matter what party he flocks with."

This answer is not satisfactory. It Exhibits the News in the role of forgetting too suddenly, as it were.» ... T\

portance attaching to one State there is three times as much attaching to three States. Besides in those Southern States United States Senators, in which we in Indiana are interested, were to be chosen, while the proposed cooking of the returns in Maine over the fires of technicality will not affect the Senatorship. More than this the theft of the Southern States was the theft of the presidency and the control of the general government, in which we in Indiana had an interest, and which we voted for, only, however, to have J. Madison Wells and his fellow scamps raake our influence of no effect. Nowj when the News denounced those Southern Returning Boards, which it remembers and we have forgotten, it must have declared that such monstrous frauds would kill the Republican party dead. A hideous and newly invented crime jought to have been denounced in terms at least that severe. But the News ceased its denounciations of that outrage less than half a year, and the Republicans are still enjoying the fruits of the victory they obtained in that way. What reason is there for supposing it will remember this outrage in Maine, supposing it is perpetrated, after the Christmas holidays. Will not the counting in by questionable means or some_ Republican constable in an outside Township next spring drive this thing out of its mind Is it not by the News' own showing merely a question of time Is the latest irregularity the worst, and does it cover up or wash white, as it were, all its predecessors Are funeral baked meats always to furnish forth some wedding dinner Ma\ not a tiger in the bush deserve as much or more attention than a snow bird in hand? Does not the News belittle its own proud and independent position when it advertises to the world that villiany, no matter how monstrous it may be, will be condoned or buried in oblivion, at any rate not chased and lashed, if any trifling matter shall intervene between the perpetration of the crime and ensuing election, when alone the puishment may be inflicted? Is then the high and mighty independent voter so fargetful a person as all this would seem to imply We commend to our contemporary the circular of the New York Independent Republicans. It warns the party managers against improper nominations, and begs to remind them that only good men will be acceptable to voters of conscience, intelligence and MEMORY. They might have added, "and the greatest of these is memory." It is the faculty at any rate on which the GAZETTE is relying to see Grant, when he is nominated, buried under a mountain of opposing votes. We hope the News will banish its old memory, or get a new one.

SECRETARY THOMPSON. .'«•

HE MAKES A RECORD TO BE PROUD OF— HOW HE SAVED A MILLION BY HONEST ADMINISTRATION

OF HIS DEPARTMENT.

Washington Soeclal to Cincinnati Commercial. Perhaps the most gratified man in the entire globe to-day is the distinguished and handsome Secretary of the Navy .nd if anybody ever had reason to feel a commendable pride, it is he, for in closing up his accounts with the Treasury Department for the last fiscal year, end ing June 30, 1879, he found that he was able to restore to the treasury a million and a half of dollars of the appropriation tor the expenses of the Navy Department.

Your correspondent called upon the Secretary to inquire into this most extraordinary circumstance. "Yes, sir," said the genial old gentleman—trying to repress a smile of satisfaction that was lurking on his lips, and pretending to appear as if it was the most ordinary thing in life "yes, sir what you have head is true. 1 have been looking over my accunts with the clerk from the treasury who has charge of them, and I find that I shall have considerable of a balance to turn in of money unexpended.' "A million dollars, I heard

that smile down. Last year, however, I had a balance of half a million to turn in. "Where and how, was.Jhis money saved?" "In every branch of the service* Here in my own office I saved $30,000 of the appropriation for clerical Service and contingent expenses, and there has been a corresponding economy in every bureau of the department." "And your appropriation was not as large as usual, either?'1 ,* "No only $14,000,000. "Then you won't have any deficiency this year?" "No, tir. T#e Secretary of the Treasury sent me over some blanks to fill out with estimates for deficiency, and I returned them to him, saying that I had no use for such papers." "This will be the first time, I guess, that the Navy Department failed to ask for a deficiency r" "I believe so," said the Secretary "I have been looking back a little, and have not been able to find an instance of the kind." "And the appropriations have been reduced every year?" "Yes. tbey have gradually been reduced."

"How about your estimates for next year *1 have made them upon the basis of last year. I shall ask Congress to give me the same amount ol money that was given me last year, and I think they will have confidence that I will not spend any more than is absolutely needed. They have always given me all I have asked for, as they knew that my desire and effort to spend no more than the necessity of the service requires but I cannot estimate very closely what the necessities will be I cannot tell how much repairing will have to be tlone next year. Nobody knows. That is something that cannot be anticipated. Now there is the flagship Hartford coming home, which has been out on a three years' cruise. She will have to be overhauled, and no one can tell until she is taken out of the water and inspected whether it will require $20,00 or $85,000 to put her in shape for another cruise. Congress knows that the money approriated for the Navy Department will be honestly expended, and I think I will get all I need." "I see you are going to fill the Vacancies in the pay corps with Wetern men?" "No, that is not exactly the case. I have said, however, that all other things being equal, I shall appoint Western men to these places, because the West is not as well represented in the navy as it should be. These paymasters are appointed after examinations, and when the report of the examining board is made to me, I shall give the preference to Western candidates, all other things being equal. "Do you keep up competitive examinations?" "No I have abandoned them. Competitive examinations for places like those I have to fill are farces. It isn't the man who can answer the most questions accurately that will make the best paymaster. Some of the candidates are crammed for the examinations by teachers who know the line of inquiry that will be followed, and these hot-house plants always come out ahead in a competitive examination. Here, a while ago, we had a young man who answered ev:ry question correctly. It was a most astounding thing. He gaye the names of the Popes, and the years of their reign, how old they were when they died, and their entire pedigree. He answered the most difficult questions with, amazing accuracy, and on the whole was quite a phenomenon, but I don't think he would make any better paymaster for all that. What I want to get at in these examinations is the kind of stuff that the candidates are made of, and I have them asked the questions that will develop the amount of common sense they have got. Why, I have seen lists of questions to be put to candidates that the President of the United States and his cabinet,

18i9 187 0 187 1 187 2 187 3

a trifle more than that. In

cluding the blances that have been advanced to paymasters in foreign waters, the sum will reach—ah! let me see"—(referring to a paper)—"yes, it will reach a million and a half, perhaps a little more. This I shall have restored to the treasury as an unexpended balance of my appropriation.'' "Isn't that a most unusual circumfctanc?" "I believe it has never occurred before.' replied the Secretary, still endeavoring to

the

judges of the Supreme Courts, and both houses of Congress couldn't ohswer unless they had prepared themselves especially for it. That sort of an examination is absurd, and the man who can answer the greatest number of these questions, correctly, wont always make a good paymaster."

The conversation then" turned upon certain newspaper publications, in which the Secretary had been accused of expending public money in pleasure excursions. "I don't care about denying them," said he, "they have been denied fifty times but it is a little hard to wear one.s life out trytng to save Government money, and administer the affair of a great department with economy, then be accused of pretty dishonesty like this. These stories will never be belivered where I am known, and my life ought to be a standing denial of such statements. I am to old to learn to steal,"—and then the Secretary went on to state that the expenses of every excursion he had ever made upon a government vessel had been paid out of his own pocket, even when excursions were in the line of official duty.

In order to emphasize the extraordinary character of Secretary Thompson's achievement in saving a million and half of dollars of his appropriation for last year, it car. be stated that the condition of the navy as tar as it goes, has never been better than now, and that the appropriation for last year was smaller, nearly one-half, than the appropriation for the same purpose six years ago.

The following is a statement of the expenditures for the support of the navy for a number of years past:

Secretary Thomson has not only thus reduced the expenses to the ante-war basis, but saved over eighteen per cent of. the money approprirted to hi6 use.

The Cuticura Remedies Succeed where a Consultation of Physicians Fail.

Messrs. WUKS & JTOTTXR: Gentlemen,—I have suffered over thirteen years with skin diseases in my hands and limbs, causing constant irritation, depriving me of rest and attention tojbusiness.

I sought many remedies here and elsewhere, also nse of Sulphur Baths, without permanent cure.

Last May a physician called my disease Eczsma Rodent,—spots appeared on my hands, head, and face, eyes became much inflamed and trranulated, causing at .Ungth impaired sight.

Internal and external remelies were prescribed by a leading physician for six months, was then introduced to another, and a consultation of several leading physicians was had, when a definite plan was decided upon, but all to no pur Jose.

After following advice for four months without any permanent cure, bought two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, two boxes of Cuticura, and some Soap, and can lestify with great pleasure to the effect they have had in my case, In eight days being nearly cured.

The physicians pronounced my case the most aggravated one that has ever come under their experience and practice. recommend and highly indorse the Cuticura Remedies. Yours iruly,
