He says that no one thero knows how Egypt will ultimately bo alfectod by it. Tho unutives nre confident that Turkey will beat Rusain if the other Powers do not interfere. They also beliove thut Eogland will stand by her old ally, They thewselves shrink from taking any nctive port init, having been so reduced by debt and hoving been too often conquered to huve much patriotism. As to the contingent, he says: ** An Egyptian contingent s already in Turkey, nnd it is hoped no further de. mnnds for aid will be mnde.

The Now York Iferald hod n specinl nccount of tho destruction of tho Turkish monitor at Ibrail, giving tho first dotails of an occurronce of soveral days ago. T'ax Tnisoxe did procisely what it did in tho othor instance,—printed on ecxtra edition, giving its ronders tho news on the same morning it was printed in Now York. Lo nnd belold,—the '{mea had gono and done likowiso, juat what it had proviously abused Tne Tnmune for dolng, Leeause the 'tmes editor had not the cntarpriso and forethought to do the same, Thero was one difference in the two efforts, viz.: Tnz Trinose gavo the New York JHer. ald tho credit for its special news, whilo the T'imea merely atolo the nows without credit, oud presented tho dispatch to its renders as if it hod boen“especially sont from Europe to the Zimes, 'Tng Trinune forces the L'imes to imitato its cntorpriso, and emulate na far os it can its judgment about nows, but, un. fortunatoly, it cannot hope to inspire that concern with any homesty, It steals even the *“ Rooshin" version, which it protends to ridicule,—so strong is the ruling passion oven in tho deelino of lifo, f THE MISSISSIPEI BASHI-BAZOURS, Thoro hiave been o good many ovouts in Mississippl, both before tho War of the Re- Dellion and since ita closo, which have ren. dored ity existonco us n State ndisgmca to tho Union of Btates to which it bolongs, It was Mississippl which, long beforo thioro waa the excuse of n war, or any sudden and ealamit- ous loss of prosperity, deliberataly repudi- afod its public dobt and evinced & doplorable abacnco of honesty among ita people. Tt wna in this State that the Lorrors of slavery wero carried to tho utmoat extrome of dovil- fsh inhumanity. It was hero that tho duello degonerated fnto tho most barbarous form; stroot-fights and sliooting on sight were dig- nified by that appellation. ‘T'he vendetta was as much an ingtitution thero nain the carly times of Corsica. Tho feud botweon the Vicksburg cditors will be romenmbered as one of tho most relontless scries of personal rovenges on rocord; the averago life of an coditor in that community for n time was not more than four months, It was tho Btato which produced Jury Davis, who approved the Andersonvillo horrors, and nfterwarda disguised himuolf in potticoata to escape arreat,—thus typifying the brutality and cowardice that have been obsorved to go togother in that depraved community, After the War, tho influx of the carpot-baggors and the onfranchisoment of tho negro served as excnses for a renewnl of the dosporate practices of tho fire-cators. All during Republican government the Stato wns tho sceno of murdors and massacres, Even under (len, Grant's Adininistrution, and under the very noso of the United Statea troops, the rifle-clubu ecoured the country, killed negroes, drove away Northern white men, solzed tha polly, sud turnod the Stato over to the Democrats, ' ‘The shot-gun was the avowed political weapon, and tho Mis- slesippl practioes passed into a by-word, aud beeamo known as the *Misslssippi plan,” which was soon jmitated in other Southorn Btates still under the rule of the Republic- ong, But the recent massncro at De Kalb, in Kewpor County, was provoked neither by nogroes nor carpeb-baggers; it was shmply on outbreak of the Bushi-Bazouk character which distinguishes a largo part of tho Mis- sissippi population, 'Tho murdored, liko the murderers, were nativo whites, It is stated that there Lias never hoon o urpel-bagger Ly tho cntire connty, But tho negroes m in the majority, and certain of the native whites (including Judge Ousory, who had been a civil oficer under the Confederate Govern- ment) ucted with tho Republicans, aud the Governmont of the county was Republican up to 1875, when, along with tho rest of tho State, it was stolen by the Democrats. Now that tho firo-caters have control of tho local oftices, the courts, aud the machinery for clearing themuelves of sny charge brought nagainst thom, they proposs, it seens, to kil off oll thie whito men who had acted politic~ ally with tho negroes, Judgo Omsorat was the Rupublican leader, and had been Shoriff of the county for saven years. e wasa brave wan, and, ussisted by corlain stanch Iricuds, ho defended the political rights of the blacks valiantly, 1fo had o devoted fam- ily of more education aond culture thun their weighbors, which probably THE CHICAGO 'TRIBUNE: 'TUESDAY, MAY 15, 1877. ! increased the animosity of tho Bashi-Bazouks Y of his county, and led them to mako him the first viotim of thefr vengeance. So an absund charge of murder wns trumped up ngninst Curroras, a friend of hiy named Gir~ azr, aud thres or four othaers (all Repnblic- ans), for the purpose of getting them into §nil, whero a couplo of Lundred cowardly ns. sassing might attack and kill thom while they wera in n dofenseless and helpless con- dition, Girxen was overtaken while proceeding to deliver himself up on the charge, wns rmn down by the pack of wolves, and, ns the cor- respondent of the Now York 7'ribune says, *“was killed like & rat in atrap.” Judge Cutsonat nlso yielded quietly lo arrest, Lut his family, suspecting that tho intention was to murdor him, followed him to the jail. There it Lecame ovident what the mob was going to do. ‘Che jait was surrounded. The guns belonging to tho guards had been un- loaded, and there was ‘no powder or shot at hand. Judgo Cumory's danghter—n girl of 18 yenrs, whoso name tmaat bo enrolled in tho list of heroines nud martyrs—forced hor way back through the mob to her father's bouse undor the protoxt of gotting something to eat, but retnmed with powder and shot concenled in her garments, Tho Bashi-Bazouks, numboring over 200, after awhile mustered up suflicient courage to attack o family they supposed to be de- fensoloss. DBatone guard was true to his post, and ho was shot dead, Forcing their way insido tho jail, the flonda killed ason of Judge Cmisora's,—a brave Loy of 13, who was clinging to hia fathor,—first wound- ing him, then murdering him in cold blood. Tho daughter by this time Lad sutcecoded in gotting & loaded gun to her father. Mo fired at the crowd, and killed one manin tho advanco. At this, the cowardly pack gave way, and rushed back fxlto tho street. Thero they began to howl for setting fire to the jail, aud one davil, mora ingenious than tho others, oried out that tho jail was burn- ing. The building was of frame, and Judge .Cnisorsr, to save his family, resolved to faco the mob that dared not face him., The #ring began na soon as the hunted family appeared in the hall below. Mrs, Cmmorm fired off both barrels of the shot-gun which she held, in the hope of checking tho assanlt. The Judge's daughter clung around herfather’s neck with one arm, and with the other pushed away tho guns laveled at him, Had there beon a spark of monhood smong this herd of wild beasts, the heroism and devotion of that daughter would havo averted tho slaughter, Bat the brutes kept on firing, wounded the poor girl in two places and tho Judge fu eloven, thon left them for doad. When the family were carrying tho wounded man to his houso, a short distanco away, o fow of the DBashi-Bazouks roturned, and wore only ap- peased by tho brave daughter, bleeding from tho wounds they had inflicted, who nssured thom her fathor had diod in her arma. Thia was not all of it. Mrs, Onisorahad to securo o pormit from tho mob to bury bher boy whom thoy had murdered. Bho wrote n pititul lotter addressed to Gov. Szone, asking sufiiciont protection to cnablo her to take what romained of her family out of tho. county,—tbo Bashi-Bazouks having sworn that Judge Cmsorx should not eacape alive. Capt. 8navoxessy, o Stato official of a neigh- boring county, took this lotter to the Govern. orat Natchez and offered to raise a com- pany of voluntoers to protect the family in tho effort to got away from tho noigborhood. Thiz Gov.

IHere is whero tho ecase rests now. It romains to bo soon whataction Gov, Stoxe will tako to bring tho nasassing to justice, If there is any doconcy or hu- manity left among all the native whito popu- Intion of Misslssippl, now is the time to as- sert it, If this cold-blooded mansacre be al- lowed to go unpunished,. tho State of Mis- stasippi will bo formally outlawed by tho civ- ilized world, deserted ns rapldly ns possible Ly all tho decent peoplo who are now there, aud avoided as far ag possible by all man. kind. It will bo a scrions question whother considerations of common bumanity will not dgmand such an intorference by the country at largoin tho State of Misaisippi (if such an outrngo goes unpunished) as will colonize tho Bashi-Bazouks of that State into a ponal community, and place over them such n guard as will confino and curb their oullawry to thomsclves.

ABIGAIL ARD JAMES, In the course of aserics of articles in the interest of Mr, Braine as a candidate for the Presidonoy in 1880, undor the namo of hig slstor-indow, Miss Aptoaw Donok, Mr, Brawe is sccking to punish thoso who did not support him for the Repub- lican nomination st Cincinnati o yoar ago, In the paper—occupying & columu and a lulf of the Now York Z'ribune—dovoted to the editor of Tue Cmioaco Tmsung, Mr, Draing, by hia slstor-in-law, states as n spe- cial crime againat public morals and agaiust him that, in 1876, before the Cincinnati Con- vention wus lield, this paper published the followiug paragraph oditorially Mr, Braiks wos bora and ratéed & Roman Catho- e, Tile paronts wero Irish Catholics aud docent peoplo, Ilis brothors and alslers are Cathotles now, Hisoxcellent and smlable wife s one, ana the children aro boing raleod fn that falth, 3r, J, G, Braixs slons uf the whole famlly ts not sn ad- herent of tho ** Motber Church.” But ho Uelongs tonu Christlan denomlnation, and, while not o Catholle, can baglly be catled a Protestant, What fulth he may finally die n cannot bo predicted, ex- cept by analogy, and » cunelderation of the depth sud strengih of & wother's roliglous inculcativus on a chlld’smind snd heart. ‘That paragraph did sppoar in this paper. Tho fact whethor Mr, BLaixe was a Catholio or not had been tho subject of considerabla contradictory disoussion inthe papers. Bome saserted that both of bis paronts hod been Catholics, and that his brothers and sisters aud wifo also belonged to that Church, Tho paragraph in Tuz I'ntoune was besed on ju. correct inforwation, but tho statement, so for ps it related to his father, wife, and childron, was erroncous, but was correct as to himselt, Lis mother, his brothers, and Lis slsters, Tho Evening Journal said of Tus ‘Tuipusk's parsgraphs Tus Tusess'is widtaken when it says Mr, Brawa's wifc la 8 Catbolle, Sho iy & member of the Congregutional Church **of the strictost sect," sud Mr. BLas ls 8 segular attendant of the sawe. This -was copied into Tux Tn:wuz, with these remarks appontled : ‘We bave no objection to stasd corrected. The statement was basvd on the autbority of a gentlo- maun who professcd to know the fucts, sud who 8ald Mr, Bratn was the only member of his fawlly avt & Catholic. Another evenlng paper, we obe werve, ntaten that the lady fs not 8 Congregational- fat, hut **a straight, atubborn Yankeo Presbye terlan, "—of the same church ns the Hoston wit= nedn, MULLIOAN, who was alleged to bo n bigoted Catholle nnder Jeautt Snfuwence, revengefuily tryind to atab Braivg hecause he had gone astray from his mother's church, Not long aftor tho time of the nppearanco of Tue Trinuse paragraph Mr. Brase ad- dressod n latter to tho editor of Tur Tnmn. vNg, inclosing an artfcle from n Pittaburg paper, which ho requested published, giving a short biographical skoteh of himsolf, Mr. Brares stated in his noto that this article subatantially embodiod the facts as to his ro- ligious position,—that * ho had never bLeon & Catholie ; that he Lelonged to no ohureh, and had not enough religion to bonst of.” The article whioh o sent was printed in T'up TrwuNe. Upon this weak chnin of cirenmstances, Mr, lraxe at this late day, under the name of his niden sistor-in-law, andin tolernblo imitation of an nngry woman's style, procecds throngh the New York 7'rvib- une's broad columns tp arraign the editor of this paper of manifold crimes, hercsics, aud trensons, Tut concede to Mr. Braine the protoction of his gifted nnd sapirituolle sistor-in-law, and proceed on thd nssumption that he neither wrote nor diotated the screed, tho mattor is not much improved, Snys the raging Gaiu: T maintaln that smuggling silks across the border, or distllling midnight whisky,—iu short. any frand upon the revenneof tho conntry,—le harmless and honest compared to the Ingenions, tlaborate, malignant meudacity of the nbove atate- ment! ‘Which was, that Benator Braive's mothor, brothers and slators, and wifo wero Catholies, —iho latter being incorrect, ‘Wo aro truly sorry that the nlloged mem. borship in the Catholic Church is so dis. graceful and harmful in the estimntion of Sonator Bratve's siater-in.law. And yot sho admits that his mothcr was nCatholic, * who “was hold during lifo in such csteom that ‘““gho was followed to her gravo not only “‘by Catholic pricats, but by all tho clergy- ‘‘men of the different Protoatant donoming. “tions in the community where she was ¥ born," and where, after o **sweet and pious **lifo of threo scoro and ten, she sloeps with *tho eacrod dust of hor kindred and blood.” For tho sake of the momory of that mother, ‘Tae TrRmune would fain beliove that Senator Buase will hardly feol obliged to his suporcalous gistor-in.law for denouncing as 8 * harmfal, malignant, and criminal libel” nstatemont that his wife was following her footstops, Whatever Miss Dobar or Mr. Braise may think, there are fow wha will agreo with them thint for his wifo to be of like faith with his mother i worso thau emuggling silk or distilling crooked whiaky, ——eey THE PRESIDENT AND THY APPOINTING POWER, Tho Presidont bns nsserted Lis purpose that, so far a9 ho can do so, he will endeavor to,restoro tlio matter of appointmonts and removals in the civil service of the Govern. ment to the practice which the Constitution enjoined, nud which was followed for forty years after tho organization of the Govern- mont, ‘Tho Nation calls attention to tho fact thet this task is of more than ordinsry difficulty, It must not be forgotton that tho Presidont alono is almost powerless in mak. ing appointments to office, and cannot ox- orciso that power without the co-operation of Congressmen, and especially of Bonators, and that the membors of Congress, and ospecially tho Senators, aro almost to &' man opposod to auy change of tho presont sys- tem. What is the presont systom? Tho Sonators and oprosontatives of tho dom- innut party from cach State claim and ox- erolso tho right to remove all Fedoral oftitors in thot Blate, and to namo tho persons to Lo sppointed. The “dolegation” generally agree upon a divigion, The Senator (if thero be two of tho eame party from the State) whose torm is nearor tho closo, and who thereforo stands in groator need of porsonsl nid to bo re- olected, controls the Marshalship, tho Dis- trict-Attornoyahip, and the moro consplon. ous and moro profitablo offices of Colleators and Postmastors, nnd also the minor oftices in thoso districts, If thero bo any, ropro- sonted by tho other party, Enoh Ropresoent- ativa (of the party) has the control of ail the appointments within his district. ‘Che Sen- ator or Nepresentative, cither in writing or porsonally, informs the head of the Depart- mont or tho Presidont that ho desires the presont incumbont removed and the person designatod appointsd. Tho President knows, Living boen duly informed of that rale, that no person appointed, other thun tho one named, will bo confirmed by the Bonate, -In ¢asa of a yacancy, the Presidont must appoint the nominece of the Congressman,—because it he nominate any other the Sonate will reject the nomineg. There is an unwritten Iaw of tho Benato, stronger than the Consti- tation, that the Sennta will not confirn sny nomination by tha President whon that nom- ination is opposed by tho Scnator from the State in which tha offico oxlsts,—the Bonator Loing, of conre, in good standing with tho. party, Thin is tho present system, nud a mejority of Socuators and Rop- rosontatives depond for their chancvs of ro-cloction entirely upon the cofforts of thelr persoual depoundents in Federal offices in their Btates to pack and control caucuses and nominating conventions, Some- times these appliances fnil, and the new may, already Indobted to other gangs of followery, goes to Washington to cfeot the personal par~ tisans of his predecessor nud have his own putdn, The result is a lower standard of intellectual and personal fitness in both branches of Congross, and a most inferior aud costly civil servico, ‘This §s the evil which tho Prosident pro- proses to tormiunto, It will bo seen that his policy in opposed to the personal inter. cats of all Sonators aud Roprosentatives who are under caucus obligations for their own election. Tt stripy them of the pat- ronage through which thoy lope to retain thoir own places. 'Tho President nsks themn to give sll this up and depend for the favor and approval of (heir constituents upon tho porsonn) ability and fitness and fidel. ity they msy show in Congress. .Now, if tho Benato will abandon tho unconstitu. tiong! and evil-operating rule of permitting the parly Benutor to dictate the confirmation or rejection of n Presidential nomination on tho ground that the fiomines is not o per- sonal supporter of bis, thon the President will ba able not only to control the appoint- ments, but also the rewovals from office, Until tho Benato abandons this rule, or the poople shall largely substitato a now class of men for tho presont Benate, tho President’s power to appoint must be subordinate to the dictation of Benators. In ono respect, how- evur, Lo may control and defeat Senatorial dictation, nud thatis by refusing to make vemovals, ‘That ho cannot be compelled to doj; but the frecedom to make removals is eassoutial to any thorough or goneral reform of the public service. The Nation fiuds & trouble in the execu. tion of the President’s resumption of tho suthority to mako sppointments by reason of the Excentivo nidvising with membors of Congross in the matter of selecting appoint- ments. and puts the ease very clearly, thus: In tho first place, tho line hetweua asking membor whether he thinks s0-and-s0 n good por- von for such and such a place, and asking him to name somebody fo il it, fs falut ot best, and would be fn constant daner of being wholly of- faced, even it the Prestdent wero tendclons of his prerogative and the Congressman indifforent to the patronage, In the ereat majority of «canes the President will be wholly unconcerned as to who fota the place, provided he fs.s it man; and in the great majority of cases, 100, consuiting a Congress- man will ecens to be the casiest mode,gf gotting o ftman. ‘There will be, therefore, o donstant fn- elinatlon on the Presidont's part tolct the Con- gressman suggest the candidate, a constant esgornens on lhe Congressman's part to do so; sud from enggeations made under these eff. cumstances to downright uominations—or, in other wonls, to the present atate of things—thers would be but une step. which wonld soon e made, 1t may be Inld down, therefore. ns oue of the tnne dnmiental rales of Civil-Scrvice reform that ali participation of membere of Congress, however slizht, in the original selection of the eandidate for oftice, whether by advice or suggestion, le surce to degenerate rapidly Into the all bat comulete ab- eorption of the appointing power by the members of the Leglalature which we now witness. When we say this the question arises,. Ilow are we 1o prevent this participation? To whom can the Presldent opply for assietance In aclecting ap- pointees, If not to the Senators and Representa- tivoa who come from the very place in which the office exists, and In which ke appolntee le most naturally to be Juoked fory ‘Tho remedy for'this is in making the ton. 1ro of ofliceof n more permancat character,— that a compotent man appointed to offico shall not be removed therefrom except for wlscondnet or incumpotency., Under this rulo, appoiniments will be only in cases of vacaucies by death or resignation, or for dis- honesty or incompetency, Thero will in such caso be no general removals overy four years; tho oppointmenta will be ocensiounl ;¢ tho grent armicc of porsons who wait from yonr to yoar for changes in the Cabinety or in the Governniont, or of parties, in order to bo nppoiutod by compnuies, regimants, and brigades, and for party services, must dis- band, and be forcéd to look out for some other modo of living. Vacaucies will hap. pon singly, and nt intorvals, and the appoint. ing power conld havo time to exercise a care- ful scrutiny in the-matter of nppointments, "Tho second romedy is, that tha Govornwent, in polacting mon to perform the business of tho Governmnont, should adopt tho same ro- tional polioy that private businesa estublish. ments pursuc. A corporation, or bank, or business firm needing o cashier, n clerk, n salesman, nn expert in tho valuation of wares and morchondise, and in tho handling of money, a bonkkoesporand nccountant, n work- man competent to supervise tho labors of others, application would not bo made to tho County Committce, nor to the Sixth Ward Club, nor to the party leaders of the town or 8tate, nor to the members of tho Logisla. ture, nor to the members of Congress. Tho recommendations of thesa people would Le o damago rather than an aid to this clnss of persons for that class of ecmployment. Nine- teen-twontioths of the officers under the Gov- ornmont of the United States havo tho sume duties to perform, and ought to have tho snme qualifications that are required of por- sons employed in privato business. Why should the Governmont select its subor- dinates from” that class who would not be tolerated in private catablishments, nod who, i employed, would bo immediately dis- missed for unfitness and incompetency ? Establishing o fixity of tenure, theraby re- ducing clinnges to a minimum, and eclecting subordinates for business duties from busi- ness clnsses, and on the recommendation of business men, will sccomplish tho reform proposed by tho President, but the accept- anco of Congressional advice or dictation in the matlor of appolntrients is of neccasity fatal to auy reform cither in the matter of appolntaients or fu the charactor of the serv- ico. ———— THE S80UTHWEST WIND, The provailing and porsistont pest of Ohi- cago {8 the southwoest wind. If n porma. nent njunction conld be procurod againat it, Ohicago would bo wore hnbitable, com- fortablo, nnd healtky. It wns the southwest wind that dried Chicago to tho cousistunoy of tindor by broathing its bot blnsts upon it for six weoks, and thon, taking upon itself the character and florconess of u monsoon, awopt the fames over it in thoso fatal Oc- tober days. It was tho same wind which nttemnpted the samo operation two years loter, aud only failed to encompasssimilar results becauso the point of nttack led the fire too soun to its nartheastern torminus, It is the southwest wind which wafts us the porfumes of Dridgeport and wraps tho southern soction of the city in a thick robe of filth and stonch on pleasant summer nighta. Dr, Ravcn, the precursor of Old Probabilities, used to vontend that the southwest wind was the chief causo of mor- tality in Chicago, und that, ¥ he could only suppress it and set tho wéathercoeks pointing in soma otber dircction, life-fusurance would bocows a drug, sud no ono to spenk of ‘would dis, One of its most marked cffects {8 upon vegetation, and on this point Mr, H, W, 8. Crevesanp, the experi- onced landscape-gordener, has alrendy con. tributed a very importaut papor to "fux Cor- caao TRIBUNE. At the vory ontust of his caveor s a gurdonor in Now Jeruey ho noticed that bis ponch-trees loaned to the northdst, aud shortly after observed that the willows and silver poplars all bent in tho samo direc- tion, Extending his rosearches, bs found this to bo trus of treea in exposed situations all tho way from Maine to Texas, ‘I'o tho provalonce of this wind ha attributes the ju- jury to fruit trecs on this sldo of Luke Michigan, ¢ Tha werely mechanical injury to the foliagu is a serlous evil, but ity worst effeots aro those which coma from it absorp- tion of molsturs and vitality, * Duriug the months of May aud Juno it often blows for days togoether with & terribly exhausting and enervating offect upon bpth animal and vog- otablo life, ‘I'he yoyng shoots of trecs and vines aro then full of sap and very tender, and, of course, are sll tho more susceptible toinjury." ‘The Micligan shore, as is well known, abounds in fruit, and it trees aro uninjured because' the southwest wind, in passiug over theloke, instead of parchingveg- otatlon with its heat,absorbs moisture from the lake and nourishes it, Tho disastrous effocts of this wind ore too well known tonded detailed .reforence. It is more im- portant to know how to guard agoinst tholr effocts, and, as Illinols is calenlated fora great fruit-growing State, such knowledga is of the highest importance, Aa thu results of his experience, Mr, OLzveLAND suggogis two wmodes of mitigating ite effects, Hid first plan i3 to bs found in forest-planting, so arranged o8 to mako a shelter from these windy, and in placing the orchards so as to be screened by forestsand hillsides. His socond plan is thorough ** mulching of the orchard with straw, grass, weeds, corn-stalks, chip. dirt, tan-bark, or somo other refuse 1matter, to such a depth as to prevent tho growth of grass ov woods, The rosult will be that the soil will nover become hot and dry, but will et all tizacs bo moist and cool, and on dig- ging down to it through the mulching it wiil be found to bo filled with fibrous roots, just 08 it {s in the wooda when you dig through the natural mulohing of leat-mold, which is annually renowed." As there is no subject of more fmportance to the fruft-growers of this Btato and the West, any now light which can be thrown upon it will bo of interest, and our colnmns are open to any one who' lias auythiog now to say upon it. We ahall be glad to hear from fruit-growera a3 to their uxporiences. SIMON OAMERON IN 1838.
