This is al! wrong, and it cannot be excused on any principle of right or justice, and the people—the sober. right-minded people of the country, if there are apy—should rise up With one accord and demand that this kind of transaction should be stopped tn all the departments—first, for the very rearon that the places in them are good for nothing, save asa resouree for cur- rent needs; second, because there is no rea- son for removal of any efticientemploye, man or woman, eitberon the sideof tue govera- ment or of the employe, for both are wronged by every such removal. But since these places fre treated as spoils of a very low order, and since, too, the people are not edu- | cated opto a high, just, fall discharge of | their cuty, even to the least of themselves, | it is @ misfortune that women, mothers | of halforphaned children, were ever | put into them.

PROTEST OF THE BOYS.—To the Editor of The Star—Dear Sir: Why is it that we boys are not allowed to sail our small yachts on Bab- cock’s lake? Last Friday two of us went down there, and jost as we were about to laupeh our little boats, a red-posed man came rushing down tle bill and ordered us off, and @t the sume time he spit on his hands and flourished his stick (which was three feet long by two inches in diameter) over our devoted heads. Now what we want to know is, whether there is any law against us ailing our boats on the Jake. In winter they put down steps for the accommodation of skaters, but in summer we are not allowed to sail our boats there. “THE Boys.” INJURED BY THE CARS.— Yesterday after- | boon a little boy, pamed Willte Webster, | son of John Webster, while crossing the Baltimore and Potomac railro’! track on Virginia avenue, near Ist streev south west, was knocked down by @ passing engine, and badly bruised about the legs.

But that such conditions are unsanitary and should becorrected is no doubt tene, as the foul emanations bave free exit to the prem- | ises in various parts of the city. As this | | question Involves quite a revolution la the present methods in Georgetown and consid- erable expense to many owners, the health | | officer recommended that 1t be made the sub- Jeet of investigation and rej special resolution be passed condemmuing all sheb privies as nuisances injurious to health; referred to the sanitary committee. rt, and that a DARING ROBBERY.—Yesterday between | Sand 108.1. a thief entered the house of | Mr. C.

LIGHT IN THE Post OrFice.—The light | Was again turned on at the post office last night and the mails opened and delivered as usual. It seems that the postmaster in this city bad no control whatever over the build- ing in which hisoitice 1s situated, but that it is managed entirely by the collector of cus- toms. After receiving the order of Secretary | Bristow, the latter did not feel authorized to continue the use of the gas any longer, but the postmaster, after two nights’ trial, flod- ing Lhe great inconvenience and dissatisfac- tion resuiting from the new system, called upon the collector, and failing to get him to take any action, went to the superintendent of gas, and finding that officer perfectly will- | ing to take the chances of payment from the | government, had the gas turned on. | THE Riven —The water in the river is re- ported by steamboat men to be muddy all tne way down to Biackiston’s Island, which | | is further than it has ever been known to ex- tend.
