Your gonu- ino Communist does not ask for work, but for support withont -work, and it is largoly by pnndering o' this ontrageous demand that the County Roard keeps up taxation to tho full constitntional limit, nnd would inereaso it still more if not rostrained by the Constitution, It {snot in the real interest of men who are willing to work, and who profer to accept $1a day when they cannot got more rather than to be loafors, vagabonds, and poupors, to affilinte with these Commuuistic dead-beats politically, socially, or otherwise, e ——— - A MAGNIFICERT ORAB. ‘We are in reccipt of o cirenlar addressod by ‘W. P. Cuxnr, President of the Pacifie Mail Stenmship Company, dated Now York, Sept. 29, in which ho appeals, on behalf of tho Company, to American manufacturcrs to ox- ercise their * inportant influence in securing such Congressional nction " as will obtain for that Company a subsily for carrying tho maila. This circular is necompanied by amap on which are marked the Freneh, British, and American steamship lines, with a stato- ment of the subsidies paid by tho French and British Governments, Theso figures suggest a falsehood if they do not essert one, The British Governmont has long sinco abandoned the subsidy business, and, ns tho old grants expire, they nra no longer re- nowed, This Company secks an annual pay- mont from the Treasury of o half a million of dollars for carrying o monthly mail from San Francisco to China and Japsu and ro- turn. At the snme time comoa tho Philadelphin Press—the general organ of all aubaidics— with a notice of a general steamship-subsidy schemo. Itis that twenly-five jron stenm- sbips be built on the Delaware River,—ono to leavo wockly from each of the poris of New York, Philadelphis, Baltimore, Boston, nad Now Orloans. These twenty-five steam. ors aro to be built at n cost of 700,000 oach, or $17,500,000 in all. Tho steamors nare to be subsidized to the oxtent of from ona to two miilions a yeareach for the fivo lines, and Mr. Jonx Roaom, tho gentlewan who wants to build theso steamers, says: ‘The Government should say to the capitallets and basiness men: What kind of service will yon render for the carrylng of the wall? Wtiat ia the character of the faclitics that you will be ablo to offer? Tlen, It they are satisfaciory, and it 18 ca- tablishod that business can oe bulit up, the ueces- sary ald ehould ba rendered until the steamship linoa can stand alone. Thers could bs not only one line started to run to forelgn purts, but five of them. A weokly line of five steamars could now rus from Philadelphls, Baltimore, New York, lios. ton, and New Otleans, All of them have tho nd- vantage of great railways, which fralu iarge and Important sections of the country, amd trafiic enough could be assured in n short time 1o almost it not entirely kecp themn golng. Thus we wonld havo twenty-Gve steanicrs at u cost of from 8600, - 000 to §700,000 aplece, and ina year thaie earn. Ings should be sbout 50 per centof their orlginal cost. These would each affuni employment to abont 125 men, making tn all over 3,000. This, of ftaclf, {s quite an item, and these men, by rea- son of their constant employment, would be the best kind of seamen, and could with advantago bo used In case of war. A subeldy of $7,600,000 a year to givo employment to 3,000 men is altogother too maguificent a proposition for tho present times, ‘Then, in addition to this, thero iatoboa lino ruuning to Rio Janeiro, with a subsidy of $500,000 a year, Tho snnual subsidy for all those lines will bo from. 310,000,000 to 813,000,000, Of course, such schewmes s thoso are not to bo allowed without com. pensation to other frionds of American industry. ‘Thero is a baokrupt railrond company having alrendy n grant of 45,000, 000 acres of publio land which wants a sub- sidy of 225,000 a milo for the 1,800 miles of tho Northern Pacific Railrond, Thon there ia Tox Bcorr's baukrupt constraction com- pany and his half a dozon bankrupt branch r0ads asking o subsidy of Londs at tho aversgo rato of $20,000 por mile for 2,000 miles of rallway, Thon thero is a subsidy of 3,000,000 a year, for an indotinito num. bor of yoars, for building loveos on the Mississippl River. Wo loave out of the present pocord the subsidios asked to build a canal from tho Ohlo River through and over the mountains of West Virginia to the James Rivor nt Richmond; the elack- water fmprovemont of the Tonnessco River aud tho canal over tho mountains of Alabamn and Georgia to Savannah and Mobile, as well w4 the slackwater improvemont of the Ohio Rivor from Wheeling to Cairo, ‘Theso Intter #chiemes, though not nbandoned by thoir frionds, will probably wait for tho grants in tho other coses, nfter which no rational ob- Jection can be wado to them.

All tho mails carried on ocean routos to and from the United Btates are now carried for the ocean postage, and there 18 a competition for tho businesa, Tho Government has no more right to subsidize—that is, pay a gratuity—to ono man for running a steamship on the ocean thau it Los o give a man money to run a steamboat on tho Mississippl River or on the lakes, or to give other men wonoy to carry on the dry goods or grocory business, It is an unjust discrimination in favor of the subsidized persons and ngainst all others. Wao printed an articlo some time ago showing that during the time the United Btates paid a subsidy to tho Pacific Mdil Company the country was taxed un average of §4.50 to pay that Company for carrying each latter in tho maild trunsported by it, while an eqnal numkber of lettors and pncknges wero carried by the unsubsidized line over tho samo routo for the ocean postago alone. A more brazen demand than this for subsitiz. ing ocenn stenmiers was never made. It {8 inspired, howover, by the general impreasion thnt the reprosontatives of tha Sonthern Btates are #o hot-footod in tho pursuit of sub. sidies for their own States that they will vole auything for anyhody who will vobn for thoir measnivos.

MORE MONEY FOR THE STATE-HOUSE. Tho Springfield papers have cowmenced their campaign for the $500,000 needed to completo the State-Honse. Tho Constitu. tion ordered that the State-Iouse Lo com- pleted for not exceeding $3,500,000, Jaxe Bosy, Bevermor (the brother of the Inte Acting Governor), and Stuvart, who were the Comunissioners, concluded not to finish it with that sum of monoy, although they roported to the Legislature of 1875 that the unexpouded portion of the $3,500,000 would Lo ample for tho purpose, When tho lnst Goneral Assombly 1net, thoy roported to it that they had spent oll the money, but it would require 300,000 to $700,000 more to finish the job! A committee of iuvestigation was appointed to nscor- tain how this immenss deficioncy had occurred, and in what wny the money had been squandered. The npshot of the wholo matter was n damaging oxposure of wasteful oxtravagance, conpled with corrup- tion or imbooility on the part of the Com. missioners, notwithstanding which the Com. mittee tried hard to whitewnsh the gentle- wmon. It was proposed to abolish the Board in ordor to got rid of the dishonest or incom- petout Commissionors; but it was promised by thew frionds that they would resign beforo July if not diggraced by a removal, Tho * friends ” begged to let them down ensy, and through tho influence of the Buruau Uonuty Scnator they wero spared a £overo consuro and the Board an abolish. ment, But thore hns boen nothing more licard of thoir resignations sinco that timo; Lut tha votors have not forgotton thoe prom. iso, Tho Leglslature passed an act submitting to tho peoplo at the Novembor elaction the question of voling sowmething over Lalf a million ($531,731.17) to comploto tho job, ‘The constitutional provision on the subjoct 1u this s ¥gc, 33, The General Assensbly shall not appro- priuto out of tho State Treasury, or uxpend on ac- count of thy new Capitol grounds, and construc- tion, completion, and furnfshing of the State- 1louse, 8 wum oxceeding In the aggregate $3,500, - 000, incluslve of nll approprstious horotofore 1wade, without first submitting the proposition for an additlonal exponditure to tho legal votors of tha Htate, at a general election; uor unless a majority of all the votos cast at such eiection ehall bo for the proposcd appropriation, Wauiving tho question whether tho local elections this fall can bo considered as ** gonernl clection,” tho best nadvice that can bo given the managing men 1n Bpringtleld is to obtain the resigustions of the Busy, Bev- enipag, sud Stuaut Board, nud tho uncon. ditronal accoptanco thereof, if they want the people to voto the halfmillion.

The ‘I'nrks evidently do wot put much faith w Mr. Lixcows's wmaxim about the danger of swapping Lores in crossing the stream, Thoy bave made u change of com. manders in the faco of tho onemny. Menemer Awy, who wis appointed Comwnnder-in- Chief, succoeding tho incompetent Aupur Keny, is now himsell deposed for incom. petoncy, and BureiMaN Pasha, lattorly commanding south of the Balkans, takes his place, his owan position being filled by Raoor Pasha. By this change, Burzian Pashia not only commands the ‘Parkish right wing and the fortresses of the Quadrilateral, with headquartors at Slunls, but ho is now the superior officer in command, Meueurr ALs lins been remnoved not with. out cause, Whon Oswax Pasha in June last defeatod tho Russians at Plovna on the west and pressed his way forward to the front of ‘liruova, it was for Meuramer Arg to strike from tho east on the line of the Lom, and thus intensifyif not complete the disaster, but he wado no advanco in co-operation with Osuax Pasha. His hesitation or his timidity gove the Russians time to burry up their re. inforcements aud take a position which com. pelled Ouaran Pasha to retire upon Plavaa, to cscape being overwhelmed, When tho Ras. sians madoe their recont attack upon Plevaa and were repulsed by Osaan Pasha with such terrible slaughter, it was for Alg. uearr Awx to attack the Czerowiteh, aud, if possible, cut his way through to the relicf of the other army; innny event, to hold tho Czarowitch at bay, Me guve battlo to the Czarowitch, aund, although ro- pulsed, was not defeatod, since ho was not driven from his position. It was a drawn battle, and yet ke suddenly and mysteriously rotroated, thus exposing Oussax Pasha to auother attack from the Russions in jn. creased force, Hislifo hos been an advon. turous oue, but his wilitary carcer i3 now stonend.

CONELING AND REFORM. ‘Tho New York Convention has furnishod nnother illustration of tho fact that some mon aro born groat, some achiovo grest- nead, aud others havo groatness thrust upon thom. Alr. CoNkLINO, wo supposo, may claim to have beea born grest, but Pratr had greatnoas thrust upon him. Boyond the limited procinet in which he dwells, he was unknown to fame, It is truo that ho bind Leen olocted to tho Logislature and had served in Congross, but the world generally had mado 1o noto of tho fact, and the name of Prarr Lod not, in tho momory of his countrymen, attained that ondurance which is poculinr to groatness, Iis oratory at Al. bany and at Washington had been addressod to listless ears, and the great nasses of tho Amorican people wore a3 unconsaious of Prarr's exiatonco as they wers of tho man wnborn, ‘The place, Roohoster, tho time, tho Rte- publican Convention, aud Prart wos born again, and greatness such as rarely falls to man was heaped upon him, 'The Scnator from New York desired to mako s sensation. Thp Presidont of the United Btates Lad it suod an Executiva order which, if enforced, would doprive the Bonator of the means of componsating from the Public Tressury nuwmerous stalwart convention-brokers and manipulators. ‘Tho Senator wanted o man {0 be Prosident of tho Couvention who could make a brutal speech, and Prirr was the man. Ho wanted a man to govern the Con- vention whosp notions of decency and rofine- nent wore rather low, and Prarr was tho man, He wanted awan who, a3 presiding officer of the Convention, wonld denounce certain members of the Cabinet, snd gon- orully jwpeach tho political and personnl charnctor of those comprising the Ad- winistration, and especially denounco all talk wbout reforming the Civil Berv. fco, and the person found by Lim, as fitted by nature, experionce, nnd educa. tion, was Prarr, and Pratr was made Presi- dent by Senator Conxving’s own motlon, ho saying that PLatT was a better man in the place than he was. Pratr performed his duty, did all that was required of him, and atonce became great,—an historical charac. ter in the politios of the country, Tle became 80 famous for what ho said aud what ho did that his fame bocame retrospective, From tho forgotton past the fact was rescued that Prarr had boon once in Congress ; and it also was recolleoted that he onco had as- pirations ton soat in tho Cabinet. It scon became known that the man who assumed the function of bulldozer at Rochester had visited Columbus, 0., while tho question of counting the Eloctoral voto was pending; and that he then and there made it known to the Presidentelect that if the new Postmaster-Goneral would bd named Pratr, of Tiogs,” N. Y., thon tho Prosident. elect would certainly be counted in ; but if the Presjdent-elect could not give &n assur- ance that bo would make Prars, of Tioga, Postwaster-Goneral, then it was possible, if not probable, that Bam Tipew might be counted in as President. The President was informed that Prarz was a orony of Beua- tor Cowxiing; that Senstor Coxximvo ex. pected and demsnded to be ropresented in the Cabinet, and that Pratr would be espe- cially acceptablo to him, The President. élect declined to trade, and Prarr went home disgusted; and the President, according to Prarr’s Rochester specch, actunlly &p- pointed nn ox-Confederato Postmaster-Gen- eral in placo of Pratr, the toady and hench- man of Senntor CoNxrINa, Mr. Covgriva attentively henrd and lustily applauded Prarr's specch. After having henrd that speech ho moved that Prarr be made permanent Prerident of the Conven. tion, ro thero ean bo no question as to the iutimacy of their agreemont nnd tho iden- tity of their sentiments. PrarT, speaking for Coxnnizg, denounced all proposed reforin of the Oivil-Servico sys- tom. Ile conceded that tho Republican party ia pledged to integrity inthe Civil Borvice,” but ho denics that tho party is pledged to ** roform " in the Civil Sorvice, The word *“reform* sounds batefnl to Prazr; that menns change, and ohango in the manner of making appointmonts and ro- movals from offico 8 just what Senator Coxrrma doea not want, During the oight years of Graxt's Administration Senator Coxgriya controlled tho Federal appoint- ments in tho State of New York. He soloct- od all the porsons nppointed in that State, and he made removals at will. Boing anos- piring man, ho has songht to mako assurance doubly suro hy making personal support of himself the essentinl test of holding office. A year aggo ha was ablo, through the manipu- Intions of thesa Federal officoliolders, to appoint delegates to Cincinnati favor- abls to limsolt for the Presidency, and the Inrge majority he had in the racent Stato Convention indicated the power and efficiancy of the machinery nt his com- mand. 3r. Coxzrive was willing to con- ceda that the mon appointed to office should be men of intogrity, bnt reform—n change in the mannor of removal or appointment— bo rogarded n3 a blow nt e liberty of the demagoguo and at the prerogatises of Benn- tors aud Representatives in Congress. 'The rule bns been that, when auy maa in the publio service in tho Stats of Now York should hesitate in the support or rebol ogainst tho rule of Sunator CoNrnrvag, tha Senator shonld address tho President or the proper Cnbinet officer demnnding tho removal of the offender nnd the appoint mant of sneh minfon as the Sonntor might designate iu his place, The domand was complied with, 1f the President should so far venturs as to nominate some person other thau tle oua designated by tho Senn. tor, then thut fact was presouted to tho Sonate, aud that body, for mutaal defense, would vote {o njeot ' the nominn- tion mado by tho Prosident, On this point tho Senntors in tho ninjority wero n unit— “that wo person should be confirmed to an offico within a State who was not so- lected or who was objected to hy tio Senntor from that Btate.

In the diffurenco betweon these two statonionts consists Mr, CoNKLING'S an. tagonisin to the President. o s ighting for the prerogativo of Senators to contro! tho Civil Bervice,—n prerogativo direcily de- niod thew by the Constitution, This usurpn- tion by members of Congroess of tho powers vosted by the Constitution in tho hands of the President has lod to most of the abnsos of tho Civil Sorvico. 1t lus led to the cron~ tion of countless offices wholly useloss; it s destroyed respousibility aud subordina- tion in the public servica; it hus resultod {n corruption and incompotency In all depart- ments of the Government, snd mado the ap- pointinents to oftico o mattor of bargain and sale. It has thrown political parties into the contral of oficobiolders, and party fidolity has usurped the place of official integrity. Tho President hos ordered that Fedoral of. ficors shall not be party managers, and ho hna rofused to rocognize the power of Benn. tor nnd members of Congress io dictate wombers of the Cabiuet, Foreigu Minlsters, or other public funotionarles, and hence Congvixg, through Prarr, denounces Cvile Servico reform, The 8t.
