Our Cobble Hill reporter brings another
and still more serious complaint from that
democratic lOcality. The right man got in
the wrong place, or the wrong man in the
right place, or something of that sort, and
now the matter Of the “three ladies of the
Iii-st society" being on a spree, is entirely
.-rowded out of mind by this new trouble.

Peter B. Sweeney has been “exhonerated,”
while his brother’s estate is to restore a small
part of the money supposed to have been-his
share of plunder. Dick Connolly now wants

_ to divide with the city and be taken
back. The city will probably next release
Tweed, ask his forgiveness for disturbing
him, and restore him to the position Of “Boss."

Sometime since one of the joint tenants of
the old Mott House, a little befuddled with
democratic tangle-foot, with a' truly ’uncon-
scious innocence, got into the wrong room
and couch, and was suddenly sobered by the
wild shrieks of two aroused and abrmed fe-
males previously occupying the apartment.

It seems a somewhat similarmishap befel one
of the Cobble Hill imbibers, last week.

George W. Cram, Esq., has sold his trot-
ting horse “Flying Childersfl to George H.
Gregory, Esq., a noted horse dealer. Since
the sale, a Bridgeport capitalist has been over
here trying to effect a put chase of the horse
at figures so far above what our friend Cram
realized as to make one‘s “head swim.” The
horse, really a very superior animal, is so
gentle-a child can drive it, and yet with pro-
per training, it is said, will fly over its mile
way down in the thirties. At the last Fall’s
Fair it was just fast enough to get beaten by
the horse a little faster still.

Correspondence of Gazette.

'1 WASHINGTON, June 2d, 1877.
The detailed and authentic account of the
terrible butchery of the family of Judge Chis-
holm in Mississippi, and the causes which le
10 it, is one of the blackest and bloodiest
pages in our history. Partisan proscription,
and intolerance were at the bottom of it, and
the fiendish transaction is intensified by the
information that the state authorities are
powerless to punish the cowardly perpetrators
of it. The matter, however is to beinvestiga-
ted by the government, and all the papers
upon the subject have been referred to the
Attorney General, who will examine the laws
for the purpose of ascertaining whether there
is any authority for the Federal Courts to in-
terferc. The Secretary of State will take part
in the investigation at the request of Minister
Thornton as the heroic guard, McClellan who
was shot at the jail, wasa British subject. It
would indeed be a humiliatory confession
that American citizenship has become so
meaningless a thing, that the power of the

 

 

 

government is not adequate under the Consti-

tution, for theiprotection of the lives of its
own subjects, and can‘ only punish offenders
against its laws, at the request of a foreign
power. Meanwhile, steps me being taken
for the erection of‘a monument, which shall
fittingly characterize the brave, and almost
unparalleled devotion of the loyal daughter
and son, who laid down their lives in defense
of their father. Judge Chisholm and John
T. Gilmore, the mast prominent victims of
the tragedy, were well known in Washington
where they were highly esteemed.

The Cabinet have of late discussed the
merits of certain gentlemen in connection

with foreign missions, including those of Aus-

tria and Prussia. The appointments to fill
these places have been agreed upon, but it is

not yet known whether the persons designat-

ed will aeccpt, and therefore their names are

Withheld from publicity. It is not yet deter-

mined who will be sent to the Court of St.

James, but, as the present minister has an'

Aunt living in Ohio, it is thought he may be
retained.
General Gideon J. Pillow, of Mexican war

fame, and a prominent general upon the Con-

federate side during the late war, hasaddress-
ed a letter to the President, regarding two
points : 131, the Southern policy, and 2d, the
Mexican border troubles. Respecting the
new Southern policy, General Pillow writes
. that it was a hazardous step for Mr. Hayes to
take, in the beginning of his administration,
but it was one calculated to win the confi-
dence and esteem of every Southern man, and
that time will soon come when the entire
South will support him. He concluded that
part of his letter by affirming that he was
thoroughly in sympathy with the President
in this matter. In view, however of the
Kemper County massacre, the unparalleled
bad faith Of Gov. Hampton and his adherents,
in South Carolina in the unseating of Judge
Carpenter and other republican officiatcs in
that state, whose titles to their offices were
undisputed, the outrageous letter of Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, to the Attorney Gen'er-
al, it will need something more than the as-
surance of General Pillow that the South will
sustain the administration. In reference to
the Mexican troubles, General Pillow advo-
cates the acquiring in one way or another, of
the two border states Of Victoria and Santa
Barbara, which would give us the power to
punish these Mexican raiders, who have for
Sears inhabited them and would give us be-
sides the great natural boundary of the Paw-
nee river and the chain of Sierra Madre
mountains to Saltillo and thence to the Gulf
of California. He advises the takingby force
of this tract and the holding possession of it
as indemnity for thepast and security for the
future, and claims that this would be the
crowning glory of the administration of Pres-
ident Hayes.

The charge of Chief Justice Waite to the
jury in the Ellenton conspincy cases will not
furnish much encouragement to such persons
as believe that Congress has no power to pass
laws for the protection of citizéns in the ex-
ercise of the right of suffrage. The Chief
Justice distinctly and unequivocally affirmed
the jurisdiction of the United States Courts
over the crimes of hindering and intimidating
citizens in the exercise of the right of suf-
frage at election for Federal officers.

.. At the session pfznthe Cabinet on Friday, it

was finally agreed‘that’the Secretary obWar
should direct General Sherman to authorize
General 0rd, commanding the Department of
Texas, to follow the border thieves into Mex-
ico to recover stolen property. It is claimed
thata vigorous display" of force on the Mexi-
can side of the Rio Grande will effectually
put a stopto this sort of international plun-
dering. . 1‘ _ '

Road Making.

; 6
t

 

MEssus. Ferrous—It may be superfluous
for me to ask attentionto roads, as much so
as it was to water, as my views were too eco-,.

toomuch the opposite in the views Of some as
to roads and road making. Our New Eng;‘
land roads are said to be the worst in the
Union. Among those which do exist, the
difference, as to ease, rapidity, and economy
of transportation, cziused by the various de-
grees of skill and labor bestowed upon them

ially by farmers whom they most concern.

An important difference lies in the grades
or longitudinal slopes of a road. Suppose
that a road risesone hundred .feet in a dis-
tance of two thousand feet (this is one in
twenty) thus, one twentieth of the whole load
drawn over it in one direction must be actual-
ly lifted up this entire height of one hundred
feet. On such a road a horse can draw only
one-half the ,weight he can on a level road,
and two horses will be required on such a
mid to do the usual work of one. Another
great difference lies in the nature of the sur-
face, oue being hard and smooth, the other
soft and uneven. 'On a well-made road of
broken stone a 'horse can draw more than
double as much as he can -upon a gravelroad.
By making such a road as is.termed the “Mo-
Adam road,” the expense of transportation
will be reduced to one-third of their former
cost, and two out of three of all the horses used
for transportation, can be dispensed with. If
such an improvement can'be made for a sum
of money, the interest of which will be less
than the total amount of the annual saving of
labor, it will be true economy to make it,
however great the original outlay.

The profits of such improvements are not
confined to the proprietors of the road,
(whether towns, cities, or boroughs,)but are
shared by all who avail themselves of the in-
creased facilities. For example : If wheat be
worth in a city, a dollar per bushel, and the
cost of transportation be 25 cents from a farm-
ing district, it will then command only 75 cts.
If by improved roads the cost of carriage is
reduced to 10 cts. the surplus or saving of 15
cts. on each bushel is so much absolute gain
to the community, and the cost of such road
is soon saved. So if return loads of some
merchandise, fertilizer, etc., at a cost which
grows less and less as the roads become better.

statement that jno ,greater injury; .0011le be.
done-lo Mississippi than to let _t_hc_‘_‘ Ecrupgr‘
county affair be hushed up, the Augusta,
(Ga. ,) Chronicle, a thoroughly Southern'dem.
ocratic paper, comments at length in this
vigorous style: .“If Governor Stone attempts
to let the Kcmper county tragedy ‘blow over,’
if he neglects to use all the means in his
power to bring the guilty parties to trial and
punishment, he will justly incur the execra—
tion of all-civilized and God-fearing people.
The crime was atrociousto the last degree——
bloody, barbarous, and brutal—punishment
should be speedy, certain, and commensurate,
as far as human laws can make it commensur-
ate, with the cnormity of the offense. Gov.
Stone cannot ‘hush it up,’ even though he
should try to do so. Until the civil authori-
ties of the state exhaust all their. power in at-
tempting to bring these ruthless men whose
‘murdcrous hands were not stayed by either
the age or sexof their victims to justice, the
deed will remain a foul blot on the fair fame

of Mississippi.”

A Startling Theory.
George Will Johnston, superintendent of
the Brooklyn Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, writes to the Brooklyn
Argus as follows:
l-Iydrophobia in the dog, I am satisfied is
the result of the animal having been inocula-
ted by biting some person suffering from the
disease of intoxication. Startling as this
theory may appear, there is not the least
question but that the facts will_b‘car it out.
First, hydrophobia and mam‘ (t potu are iden-
tical in most physical conditions—subjects
dead of either disease presenting nearly the
same autopsy. Second, the saliva of a man
dying of delirium tremens and that of a dog
suffering from rabies bear the same chemical
analysis. Third, the entire system of the
patient suffering from alcoholic madness is
so poisonous that rapid inoculation will fol-
low any contact with the virus of the blood.
Fourth, the bite Of a man in an acoholic fit
has been known to result in hygrophobiu. As
to the application of these facts:
First: With the canine race hydrophobia
is never spontaneous; withman the disease is
known to be.
Second : There is not a case 011 record of a
dig having died of hydrophobia that will not
admit of proof—if the facts can be ascertain-
ed—that the dog had previously bitten an in-
toxicated person, or had been attacked by
some other animal suffering from a like inoc—
ulation.

 

 

 

WASIIIXOTON'S IDEA or CIVIL SERVICE—In.
January, 1789, four months before he was in-
augurated, he wrote to Samuel Hansom that
if he‘ntercd upon publiclifc again, he meant
to be “not only unfettered by promises, but
even unchargable with creating or feeding
the expectation of any man living for- my as-
sistance to oflice.” He said “the ear of the
nominator ought to be open to the comments
on the rits of each candidate, and to be
govern » primarily by the abilities which
are most peculiarly adapted to the nature and
duties of the office which is to be filled.” He
was determined to go into the chair of, gov-
ernment perfectly free; and in March, 1789,
he writes to Benjamin Harrison that in mak-
'ng appointments, “9. due regard shall be had
‘to the fitness of characters, the pretensions
of different candidates, and, so far as is pro-
per, to political considerations." He con-
stantly repeats this principle, adding, on one
occasion, the distribution of positions ‘Of im-
portance to various parts of the Union as in-
dispensible to the happy beginning of the
government. But fitness is always the fore-
most condition. .
When Washington had entered upon the
office of President, he felt that nominations
for appointment were among the most. delicate
and difficult of his duties. One of his earli-
est letters upon the subject is to the widow of
General Wooster, the hero of the action at
Danbury, during the Revolution. The letter
is very tender and considerate, but firm and
self-respectful. “As a public. man, acting
only with reference to the public good, I must
be allowed to decide upon all points of my.
duty without consulting my private inclina-
tions and wishes." And in the same letter:
“All that 1 require is the name and such tes-
timonials with respect to abilities, integrity
and fitness as it may be in the power of the
several applicants to produce. Beyond this,
nothing with me is necessary or will be of
any avail to them in my decisions.” In No-
vember, 1789, he writes to Joseph Jones: "In
every nomination to office I have endeavored,
so far as my own knowledge extended or in-
formation could be obtained, to make fitness
of character my primary object. In Februa-
ry, 1791, after honorably and faithfully fol-
lowing this course, he writes to Gen. Arm-
strong: “In a word, to a man who has no
ends to serve, npr friends to provide for,
nomination to office is the most irksome part
of the executive trust." Making the just
distinction between political and non:politi-
cal offices, he writes to Timothy Pickering in
September, 1795: “I shall not, whilst I have
the honor to administer the .government,
bring a man into any office of consequence
knowingly, whose political tenets are adverse
to 1116 measures which the general govern-
ment'arc pursuing, for this, in my opinion,
would be a sort. of political suicide.”—EDIT-

has sued him fora millior. And to add to
his trouble, Tennie Claflin and the Woodhull
come up and sued for money which they
claim the old Commodore owed them for
commissions when they were brokers. It Is
a well-known fact that the Commodore did
furnish them with ononey on which to do
their business, and that it was his money that
run that scandalous sheet, Woodhull and
Claflin's weekly which precipitated the
Beecher scandal. They new claim $100,000.
and have commenced suit for it. Cornelius
is about the best abused man in America,
just now. His affectior ate brother’s friends,
and a man with a hundred millions always
has plenty of them, are spreading stories that
he is a drunkard, a spendthrit’t, a gambler,
and addicted to women. Probably at one time
of his life this was partially true, but for
years he has been as correct as any man in
the world. He was in his childhood struck
with epilepsy, and only recently recovered
from it. He did spend some money, and he
does now owe the Greeley estate $15,000,
which his father refused to pay. But he is a
kind, well-meaning man, and, in spite of his
continued ill-health, a man of much more than
ordinary ability. Everybody here hopes he
will succeed in getting what would seem to
be little enough out of so great a fortune.
Speaking of

woonanL AND crmrx, _
this is their first appearance for some months.
They lost their grip upon the public about
two years ago, and have never been able to
regain it. Once they were very rich, but
they did not know how to keep their money,
and they went down, down, till they are liv-
ingqiow in abject poverty. Woodhull makes
spasmodic efforts to lecture, but the public
take no interest in her, and Blood has desert-
ed her, following his notion of standing by an
affinity only so long as it is pleasant to him,
and Tennie was always a disagreeable person
without any point at all. Thrown ofi from a
very nasty surface, they lived about as long
assuch flies usually do, andhaveI-gone as
such flies always do. They have had their
very short summer.

DECORATION DAY. ,
“13 generally observed in the city. Business
was entirely suspended, the stores remaining
closed all day. The procession was very
fine, comprising all the military, the police
department, all the societies, and a vast num-
ber of citizens who took‘ this way of testfi-
ing their respect for the memory of the fallen
brave. It seems but yesterday that Lee sur-
rendered, and yet that years have flown was
. shown in the aspect of the orators and the
survivors of the war, who took part in the
exercises, men who went into the war boys,
andcame out young men, are now gray hair-
ed, and the middle-agedsoldiers of 1865, now
moved very slowly in the procession. The
increased age of those who ,made-iorations
was especially noticeable. One whom I knew
at the beginning of ‘the war as a bright,
quick, active-moving man'of thirty-five, who
wore his shoulder-straps as proudly and gaily
as a cavalier, and who came out of the war,-
a rather portly, but still active and handsome
brigadier. There was more silver in his hair
and his figure had lost. the-clean synietry of
youth, but he was still a splendid-looking
man. Yesterday he read a poem at a monu-
ment in Brooklyn, an old, decrepit, gray-
haired man, who looked as though he might
have been a. veteran of the war Of ’12,in-
stead of the great rebellion. We have lived
at a killing pace for the last twenty years.
rLErann HARPER.

A great many years ago, four brothers,
sons of a Long Island farmer, came to New
York and learned the printing business. Get-
ting through their apprenticeship, they com-
menced book-printing ina small way, which,
as they were sober, industrious and shrewd,
soon got to be a very large way. These boys
were‘Joseph,~ James, Wesley and Fletcher
Harper. Fletcher, the last of the brothers,
died this week after a business career of over
half a century. The family was a remark-
able one in many respects. They never had a
‘difference or a quarrel. With a business
amounting to millions per year, with the
largest publishing house in this country, and
one of' the largest in the world, everything in
it went like clock-work, each brother manag-
ing the department he was best fitted for
without interference-orsuggestion from the
others. If one had doubts as to the advis-

ability of a movement, a council was called,
and whatever the decision was. it was carried
out relentlessly, and failure or success, it was
all-the same. As sons were born to them,
they came into the film, all being literally
born to the business. Every male Harper
was educated first, and then compelled to
learn a trade. If his taste run toprinting, he
was put into the office the same as any other
apprentice, and learned the trade side by side
with the 'humblest boy from the, streets.
Some were thus disposed of, others were put
into the counting room, Others into stereotyp-
ing, and others into the warehouse; and so
many of them are there now that each de-
partment has Harper's, not only, at the head,
but all through it. And every one takes the
place that the whole in council decide for
him, and fills it without a murmur. No
matter how humble his place, he is a Harper,
and has an . equal interest with the others in
the house, but he is required to do his duty,
and do it well. Not to do duty, is the one
unpardonable sinwith the family. There
never was‘any head. to the house. When .
asked who was the Harper, and who the
brothers, the answer always was, “Any one
of us is the Harper, and' the Others are the
brothers. " The business of the house is sim-
ply immense. ' They have published thou-
sands upon thousandspf books, the value of
their stereotype ‘plates being estimated at
over $3,000,000. Go where you will, in
every house in the United States,vyou will
see books with the well-knownimprint, Har-
per 6; Brothers. Poetry, fiction. science,
philosophy, school books, atlases, encyclope-
dias, theology, art, mechanics, everything
under heaven that has everbeen written
about or printed, both from American and
European pens, all will be found in their cat-
alogues. Their magazine has a larger circu-
lation than any similar publication in the
world, and their illustrated Paper and Bazsr
rank equally high. All the operations of the
business, except paper making, are carried
’on the premises. In.their Immense fireproof
building, the paper 13 taken In, the manu-
script is read, the type is set, the. stereotype
plates are made, the press-work is done, the
folding, stitching, binding and ornamenting,
in short the entire work from beginning to
end is made in the concern, even to the de-
signing and engraving the pictures. The
death of the last of the founders will make
no difference in the business of the concern.
After the death of Joseph, some years ago,
the remaining three turned over the_ control
to their sons and nephews, only takina part
when very grave matters came up. {There
are plenty of trained men to take their
places, and there is _no fear_of the great
house losing any of Its prestige. 91' Vlgolz

POLITICAL

The result of the investigation into the
Custom-house affairs has culminated in the
recommendation to discharge nearly three1
hundred employees as useless, to cut down
the salaries of those remaining, to do away
with the pernicious system of taking, fees, to
prevent the assessment of employees for po-
litical purposes, to revent the. employees
from taking too prominent a part In politics,
and to do away with the practice of making
an ofilceholder‘s place depend upon his pal}.

mums A'r AnorION.

A curious sale was held last week in the
city,—an auction sale of patentrights. A
very large crowd was attracted, and the bid.
ding was spirited. The patent for a folding
chicken-coop sold for $5, a Iflchine for wash-
ing currants, $17.50, and so on. A tent
for glass lining pipe-stems brought $95 , and
an improvement in quuId measures, $750,
The long-haired inventors who hadall sorts
of gim-cracks howled with indignation at the
low prices procured, and there was. a great
deal of fun evolved during the sale. Forty.
