Thi order issue! by the President forbidding
office-holders taking active part
elections is admirable and satifies
the public that the new admiustration is
/ in earnest.
This order is eminently wise, and must
receive the warm support of all thoughtful
minds. There would bo small uses in
appointing for merit and turning out for
cause if the offices arc to bemused as of
v old to support politicians whoso aim and
< end in life is to so manage as to make of
' the Government an immense. machine at
* the polls to retain them in place.
The use of Government as a political
machine has come "to be an evil so great
that it threatens the destruction of the
Government itself. No better proof of
this cm be fouud- than in the cry tha*
goes up to the effect that if the President
persists there will be an end to the lie.

Blaine dined with Robeson in Trenton
last Tuesday and made a speech and
defended Republicanism as it was admin*
. , stered by General Grant. Kilpatrick also
: spoke between the sherry and the chain
*. paigne, and reviewed the army, dealing
some hard blows as to its present condition.
Nothing directly was said as to the
: present adminstration but a great deal
was implied.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS*
Thejmt look for the teachers of the
public schools this year is not very bright,
as the poll tax is to be used in many of
the counties entirely to pay their past indebtedness
of the various school districts.

ty Treasurers shall devote the poll tax
collected in their respective counties to
the payment of "past due school claims
jup-folirst day of November, 1873' with
the proviso "that all school claims issued
***"" prior to the first day of November, 1872"
shall have preference over all others;% "and
. should the amount of poll tax collected in
. any county in the first year after the passage
of this act be insufficient to pay the
whole of said claims, then the County
Treasurer of such county shall pay out
.the samc pro rata, and continue the same
from year to year until the whole of such
rclaiuis shall have been paid,"
There are large claims, says the Columbia
Register, yet existing for school
sendees in the years covered bv act of
^larch, 1874, which will absorb the poll
tux in many counties equally as fast as it
can be collected. The .re-cnactmcnt of
this law, to pay deficiencies out of the
jjoll tax the present year, is inconsistent
with the plain and evident purpose of the
Legislature, as revealed in the supply bill
and the appropriation act was to devote
the proceeds of this tax to the maintenance
of general depression, wheu
it was desirable to jnafco all classes
contribute something to the support of
teachers. Yet, the fact remains that the
holders of old school claims, many o*
them purchased at an enormous discount,
can come in ahead of the toiling teacher,
who is dependent for his or her daily
bread upon the small pittance derived
from this source. It is a notorious fact
that these old school claims are not in
possession of the teachers who earned
the money Ions ago, but as a general
thing were bought up for a mere song
when the Stat^ government seemed iudispose!
to provide for their payment.
The teachers became disheartened, want
in many instances stared them in the
face, and official speculators secured their
claims at a nominal figure. We trust
that this legislation, which wi 1 seriously
cripple tire public schools for the balance
of the year, was uut procured at the instance
of any imyj. or set of men now
holding these claims.

or un%\it a president has risen in tlio
district which would be annexed to the j
I uited States and therefore the rciirniiir
President, Piaz, is i elined to consider
the project lor the excision ot turbulent
provinces. If Piaz should he recognized
and a fair sum should bo offered Mexico,
the annexionists have no douht lie would
secure the cession of the territory which
includes the coveted mines in Sowca
and Chihuahua, even though Mr. Kvarts
should demand that .nil claims r.f Americans
for damages should be adjudicated
and paid out of the purchase money before
a dollar should pass into the Mexican
treasury. This nice little frame
would woik well all around. 1 >inz would
get r'd of the hot-bed of revolutionists,
secure the recognition r.f his government
and make it to the interest of the United
States to mait tain him in power, and
after a few years receive into his low
treasury a considerable sum of money.
The United States would secure a frontier
more easily defensible, obtain an
, immense tract containing mines of untold
wealth, and an outlet for the idle, restless^
and adventurous classes of her popula-1
tion.
A CASK OF JURISDICTION

The ease of the unfortunates arrested:
last week, tried and sentenced by the Intendant,
assumed new and unexpected j
interest from the action for their relief,
taken by'their attorneys, Messrs. Vcrdicr ;

I The rale which was made returnable on
Saturday elicited much public interest j
and at the appointed hour a large crowd
assembled at the chambers to hear the j
expected argument j ou both ^ides. Mr. j
Yerdier opened in a lengthy, exhaustive i
argument for the petitioners, taking is- j
sue both at the want of jurisdiction of the '
i Intcndant, and to the unconstitutionality I
of the trial of a case indictable at Corn1

a trial by jury or to afford remedy by ap- j

The U. 8. corvette Swafnra arrived Fri- j

Norfolk with the monitor Catskill.
The Plymouth arrived 011 Sunday from
Vera Cruz and anchored in quarantine off
Bay Point. Sbe will remain several days

A letter from the Black Hills gives a '
very doleful account of the prospects of'
| the miners in that region. The writer!
saj's: Here, to day, in Deadwood, nine
! men out often are dead broke. What
few men are at work, arc paid in dust at j
; S20 per ounce, and taken at $18. Green-!
! backs arc at premium. Wages here arc
: from $1 to $4 per day. and more at work
for their grub than anything else. You
; have little idea of what an emigration
there was to this country last month, and I
j is now but not so great. At one time
'! there were 5000 on the Fort Pierre road
i alone all bound for Deadwood, and now
] the road is lined with them going back on
J foot dead broke. They h^d expected to
take up a claim and work it and soon
: return rich. If they coukl do no better, !
I they would work for $6 a day. Poor 1
fellows; they found every inch of
ground taken for several miles around, i
! ground sonic of it not worth the having,
j and work they could not get. I wish you
' could see the streets of Dead wood on
, Sunday. They are a perfect jam. My
i advice to all my friends is: Never think
i of coming to the Pluck Hills. There are
: i now at least 12,000 idle men in this
vicinity, and more suffering, I think,
, than in any place in America. If the
quartz hold cut, it will be a far better
place to come to in two or three yeai^
than at the present time, if you are ;
looking for work or business. You must
not believe anything copied from the
Dead wood and Cheyenne papers. It is
'.amusing for people hero-to read them.

Formerly the (Jrami I'tiion was a popular
caravansary. Drummers displayed
their wares ami extolled the firm textures
of the fabrics in the shadow of the grand
piazza and the front-rooms of the cottag
es. The prices were as democratic as the
patrons. It was a busy mart, and many
oft he best rooms were given up to industrious
men. All this is changed now, and ,
silkstocking exclusivcncss is to hereafter
mount the broad staircases and glide
over the stately halls. That the new older
of tnings will be a success is forcshad"
owed by the fact that there were nearly

The new law in regard to the payment
of poll tax is that upon conviction, before
a Trial Justieejof a refusal, or failure to
pay the Poll Tax, the delinquent shall be ;
fined five dollars and costs, or be imprisoned
not more than thirty days iu the
county jail. The poll tax is to be expended
for the free schools iu the township
the same is collected. Any citizen can (
make the affidavit to briug a delinquent
before a Trial Justice.
We have had politics enough to last us j
for awhile, and the popular voice crie9 out j
unanimously and emphatically, "Give us j
a rest." Let no dead issues be revived, 1
and no new issues sprung until absolutely
necessary. We have becu "issued" to '
death. The people, Republicans and
Democrats alike, do not want to be disturbed
in the enjoyment of their political j
Sabbath, and ouc of the healthiest and ;
bonniest siVrvs of the time is that, in suite

Gov. Culloni, of Illinois, requires that
notice for pardon shall be published three
weeks in a paper either in or near the
place where the trial was had, the notice ,
to state the name of the convict and the
nature of the crime; and, in addition,'
there must coinc with the application for
pardon a statement of the case from the
Judge and the prosecuting attorney act- j
ing therein; or, if such statement cannot
be obtained, the reasons therefor. The
object of this excellent lttlc is to show
that movement for pardon is on foot so.:
that the community most interested may j
take steps to counteract it if deemed i
i
necessary.
The Turkish Government has organized 1
a corps of divers, whose business it is to
root up the torpedoes which the Russians
plant in the Danube and the shores of the
lllack Sea. These divers are Mohamcdans
from Sazistan, and a certain number
of them are attatched to each of the Turkish
squadrons. When the ships arrive'
near the spot where the existence of tor- j
pcdocs is suspected, two divers row to the !
place in a very light boat, which draws i
so little water there is scarcely any dan- 1
ger of of its striking against a torpedo.
On nrnvimr nf the destination one of the
oarsmen dives iufo the sea; if he finds the j
wire by which the torpedo is attached
he cuts it with a sharp instrument, and
returns quickly to the boat. The libera- j
ted torpedo floats to the surface of the i
water, the men pass a sort of lasso round 1
it, take it in tow, and then row back to |
the ship as quickly as possible. For each
onefthus captured the divers receive $o0
in addition to half the value of the tor- j
pedo itself,

Russia has given Mr. Whitehead, the |
torpedo inventor, an order for one hun"
drcd fish torpedoes to be dispatched to ;
the Danube and the Black Sea. The i
Russian Gnvernmeut is resolved if po.ssi-;
blc to destroy or drive away all the Turkish
monitors in or near the mouth of the
Danube, and then assume the offensive !
with the iron cladsthey have at Nicola- :
ieff and some torpedo vessels now constructing

THE PANAMA CANAL.

would be an important step in promotion ;
of the foreign trade of the United States. I
This scheme is four centuries old, and it
has latterly become fashionable to deride i
it as a wild and visionary project: but the j
successful construction of the Suez canal, J
which was long regarded as alwin enterprise.
ought to stop the mouths of all sucli '
croakers. Prophets of ill omen were not
wanting who derided the project of build- j
ing the Suez canal, but it was completed j
eight years ago; and, brief as is the time
which has elapsed since its construction, j
it has been amply sufficient to stamp the J
enterprise as one of the greatest financial j
successes, as well as one ot the grandest ;
engineering feats of the century. Tenacious
of old routes as ocean commerce always
is, the traffic of the Suez canal lias
increased from its first year's business of;
400,000 tons to something like 3,000,000
tons, and the stock lias now for more than
two years been above par in the market, j
This grand success has disproved all the
discouraging predictions which were made !
in regard to it and if the Panama canal
shall.evcr be built the success of the enterprise
will with equal emphasis disprove
the sneers of those who would now Xjfe.
parage and belittle this grea.c commcrcl?
project. It should not be taken for gran- ;
ted that if this canal is to be built at all it
must be done by our Government, either
alone or in conjunction with other nations.
The Suez canal, though costing $80,000, j
000 or $90,000,000, was built by private j
capital, and there is no reason why the
Panama canal should not be built in the
sftme way. We are enabled to form an approximate
estimate of the business which
a canal across the Panama Isthmus would
start with upon its opening. In 1870 the
trade of the United States with the west
coast of Mexico, west coast of Central
'
America, Sandwich Islands and oflier
Islands if the Pacific, Australia, hew /< a '
land, China, Japan, Dutch East India
and ('alifortia amounted to aljout '.>3*0,1 HK).
tons; that of England with the same couu ,
tries, 1,-350,DUO tons; that of tJcnnany
with the same, to 140,000 tons; and that
of France to IGD.O'M') tons. All this trade
would seek the canal as soon as opened,
so that from these four countries alone
nearly 3,000,000 tons could be reckoned
upon immediately. What the Suez canal
is proving for Europe, in a far g: eater
degree will a canal at or ncar'the Panama
Isthmus prove for America, and advantageous
as it would be to the commercial
welfare of the world in general, it would
be especially so to the United States in
particular. The Pacific is naturally our ,
domain, and as we are the one great
commercial nation upon its borders any J
enterprise that brings it into closer com- !
munication with our eastern coast should .
be regarded with the most active interest. '

? The Georgia Comwissoner of Agri

The time has arrived for the country
editor to offer his indispensible journal to
