But the point of Our correspondent is well taken. There is a machisery called for by our unwritten laws, to conduct political campaigns, and that machinery costs money. George William Curt!s, Mr. Carl Schurz himself, Horace White and the other Civil Service reformers, are quite justified in everything they say against our present Civil Service, and are ning @ public service in demanding a refor- mation in the administration of our Govern- ment. The business of the public should be 2) business principles, and toeffect this born fight remains yet to be fought. the party contest It” is necessary that some one should foot the bills.

It is reported that Capt. Tyson, formerly of the Polaris, has bought a vessel and expects to start on a preliminary expedition towards the north pole some time this month, to plant @ colony at or near Disco, on the Greenland coast. This will be done with the hope or expectation that Congress at its next session Will authorize a government expetition to * make another effort to reach the pole in 1 ‘The opposition to squandering the money of the government in farther al ventures of this kind is becoming quite marked In many respectable quarters. The New York Jouraat | of Commerce commends to the attention of Congressmen who will be called upon to r- | 1 Yote for an appropriation, the narrative of Capt. Hali’s last expedition, which virtually admits that buman science, courage and endurance reached about their climax in that endeavor and fell back baMet. If they then doubt the impracticability of ratsing the American flag at the north pole, let them read Payer’s “ New Lands within the Arctic Cirele,” being a record of the discoveries of the Austrian ship Tegetho!f in the same years when the luckless Polaris was on her quest; also the report, when published, of the last Britisn Expedition. These, the Jour- nal thinks, will corroborate the conclusion to which the most experienced Arctic navi- gators have now arrived—that the o»stacles between (about) latitude 3 degrees and the pole are practically insuperable, and that to fight agaimst them longer is foolhardy and useless. ore __ The prize Mghting fraternity seems to be pretty thoroughly cowed by the action of the authorities within a year past. Joe Coburn, & shining light in the profession, who re- cently amused himself by letting daylight through two policemen in New York, has been refused a new trial and must pine out a long term in the penitentiary. Sam Coll- yer and several other prize fighting worthies are in durance vile in New Jersey, and quite @ number of the same class grace state pris- ons in various states. ———_-<+e-—___. One of the witnesses, « democrat, who tes- tified so promptly against Senator Grover explains that he gave evidence against him because as ademocrat he repudiates the ac- on of Grover in trying to steal the electoral vote of Oregon last fall. Ail fair-minded democrats do the same thing. When the matter was before the Senate Grover found bo outspoken defenders among the demo- cratic Senators. The most that they could do was to apologize in a feeble way for his action, and assert their belief that he acted upon his convictions of duty. Few of them Approved of his action or advocated the her esy that when a candidate is ineligible at the time of bis election. his opponent, the minor! ndidate, is elected, sinc cedents against this theory, both in Eayl and American history overwhein The Balti: Gazelle says :—* Se Will Senator Grover get from either party Should the investigation ead, whitter tc no seems to be tending, in the ascertatum the fact that he owes his election to w sale bribery, and we venture th+ prediction that none will be x morous for bis | expulsion from the Senate than his own po- | Litical associate the p ant pit, A dispateh notes the fact that a ti Old California salmon,weighing five pounds, Was taken the other day in a trap-net off Wilmott’s creek, in Lake Ontario.

Perry in failing to go to the relief of Capt. Randall in Idaho the otnerday. He has an excellent reeord, having served in Mexico and in the late ctvij war, and having been breveted from cap- tain tocolonel for gallant and meritorious service. If the report of iis action be true he should be ignominously dismissed th> ser- vice. It is possible that the old and silly prejudice of regulars against volunteers may bave had something to do with his fatiure to relieve Capt. Randall. If it did he is still more culpable. The sixteen volunteers under Capt. Randall were fighting without comp-nsation for thelr homes and families, and n charging through a band of one hun dred Indians displayed a heroism never sur passe:! by paid regular troops.
