About Petitions* Everybody knows how eaaily peti tions are gotten up, and how utterly worthless they are and always have been aa to the conveyance ot the real sentiments ol the signers. We have never met bat one man who could not bo induced to sign a petition for any body under any circumstances.. Most men will sign anything except an obli gation for an honest debt. At first it was given out that peti tions were tbo tilings to obtain olllccs under the new administration. After tons of these had been industriously manufactured and filed, it was said that petitions were no good except for i indling. Hut a petition lias gotten sn office and a good one, at that. * Mr. Buck, of the Midway Clipper, a weekly but powerful provincial journal of Ken tucky, lias been appointed minister to Peru. When tlio appointment reached the Senate, Senator Beck rushed for the State Department and objected vio lently. “He is strongly recommended,” re adied Mr. Bayard. ■“By whom?" asked Mr. Beck. l“By you, for one,” quickly replied Mr. Bayard. Mr. Beck was amaxed. Mr. Buck’s petition was one of the many he had signed without thinking, and now he was without a word of reply when con fronted with Ids act. He asked for twenty-four hours in which to find out something about the man he had recom mended. Mr. Bayard would not promise to hold np the nomination, and an hour later, while Mr. Beck was engaged in writing out a formal protest, the Pres ident’s messenger arrived at the Capi tol with the nomination in his hand. Tlmt, oi course, settled it. Mr. Beck could only swallow his discomfiture, and reflect on the power of n man’i name, sometimes, on a petition which lie lias signed only to accommodate the petitioner. Senator Beck bad forgotten to send a letter explaining that he meant noth ing by signing Buck's petition, and Buck got tho office. Office-seekers should not rely too strongly upon this precedent. Perhaps, like Pearson’s appointment, it ia an exceptional case. A prominent banker of Paris Is reported as saying to a Nsw York Herald cones- ,- . dent: "This ia merely tbs prelude, The political movement now tends directly laths Commune. We shall pan through all the gradations ot liberals until ws have for prime minister Clemen rota or SocheforL Then weahsll have s mnuntir ■i»f fkfjrt of the Cuiuiuuue, men a sudden reaction to royalty, and than tba pendulum will begin to awing again.” Wats tha will of James 11.

Tba bal- e appears to be on the wrong side, and "vat millions are missing. Let tbs -owty who has just gooe ont ha appre hended and rigidly searched. A Declaration of War. Tito ltepublican Senate has adjourn ed with a declaration ot war against 'resident Cleveland. Tito Republican Senators will vote to confirm the following cases: - 1. Heads of departments, assistant secretaries or heads of bureaus, even in cases of re moval. 2. In all cases of foreign min isters, whether the old incumbents re sign or are removed. 3. In coses where the official term lias expired and a re spectable nominee is appointed. But they will not confirm a Democrat ap pointed to take the place of a ltepubli can whose term has not expired. Tbo Republicans have a majority and can enforce this policy. They also refuse to acknowledge as “causo” for removal “offensive partisanship.’’ So it is qultp plain that without a great change and n better understand ing, there will he lively times at the next session of Congress. Tho Senate cannot prevent the President from re calling foreign representatives ner from removing domestic officials, hut it can reject any successors ho may appoint. In this way a galling fight may be kopt np. The Republican party has notified its (riendi and members now in office to “stick.” By failing to confirm son- dry appointments Republican officials are now enjoying their places on full pay. It will be curious to tee upon which aide the mugwumps may array them selves in this fight. It must be Yemeni be red that tbo mugwumps are Repub lican* masquerading as reformers in the interest of certain friends and measures. It ia just possible that if the attitude and designs of the Republican Senators had been (ally understood Mr. Pearson might have experienced more difficulty in remaining in his snng berth. Mr. Cleveland will have a call for all of hia backbone, hia patience and his diplomacy in the contest with a set of desperate and unscrupulous partisans, who will fight for plunder aa a rat does (or hia bole. for purposes inadequate to the value of tho property. The reserve jituated below the city, exclusive of the park property, and consisting of hundreds of acres of land, is valued by competent judges at from *20,000 to *30,000. We will call i t *20,- 000. The stockade and yard in the rear of the city hall is worth at a low estimate, and parties stand ready to buy it at *10,000. Halt of Tatnnll square will bring easily fifteen thousand dollars. The reserve near the residence of 8. T. Coleman is valued at twenty thou sand dollars. Hero is property valued at *00,000— it is worth nearer *100,000—of little use to tho city. True, a portion of the reserve is used as a dumping ground, and tho city hall stockade is an im pounding pen and encloses tho bar racks. This is all. To sell some of this property would require an act of the Legislature, but we are informed by competent attor neys that the city could in a short time realise upon all if it were desirable to sell all. The time lias come when the city should realize upon a portion of these assets. Every lot sold increases the tax total nt once, and swells it as im provements are placed npon the lots. It is safe to say thnt if $10,000 worth tills property weiw sold, in five years the city would realize five thousand dollars in taxes from it. But if the money derived from the sale was spent in beautifying the streets, the adjoining property would also in crease in value and largely swell tho sum total. The time has come for the city to spend a portion of this reserve sum on improvements. It should he spent for no other purpose. Council could not do a wiser tiling than to create a commission of compe tent men, and turn over to it mow the public reserves, to be sold and ap plied to betterments. Land in a city of most value to the corporation when held by private citizens, and the prop erty that fronts on handsome streets improves in value as the street im proves in beauty. Eoonomy and KxtravaKonce. Tito Journal of Commerce states that the taxpayer will be greatly reassured when he realizes that the President and cabinet, now tho butt of ridicule because of their economy, are accused oi nothing worse than cheese-paring. The Journal then proceeds to advise the paragraphers os follows: If the fanny men want sn appropriate bntt for Ibelr jokei there le s United Btites Senate It le a hotbed of etnecurltm end extravagance. It provides assy work end lihersl pay for s ■mall army of clerks, stenographers and at taches. Nobody ovtr accused the Senate of being close-listed with the ptople's money. There le no piece In Washington whore a stiff broom with a strong man st tho handle le more needed. There are eigne that some of tho Senators whoso party controls that that body do not feel Inclined to let tho "other end of tho arenu#'' heir off til tho honors to getnod by economy. But they will led It extremely difficult to win over a majority of tho Senate to the new doo- trine of retrenchment. It will meet with but little faror from those ten or a dozen commit tees who here been authorized to spend tho public money on a good lime during the recess. This leone of the most flagrant of Senatorial abases. It enables Senators to defray their ex penses st the fashionable watering places wlth- ont rendering any equivalent In nsefnl pnbllo labor. Newspapers have a peculiar right to eomplaln of thla, because they are expected to publish reports ot the movements, eaylngt and doings of these vagrant committees. And yet In some cues the committees do nolren- det sn account ot their stewardship when they return to Washington, and nothing whatever results from their pretentious Investigations.

Way- cross Ii damned by the majority of people who have to pan It. The above paragraph, which appeared In the TiLEOBAra n week or two since, has been construed by some to be an endoree- ment of a letter written by a traveling cor respondent ol the Journal of Commerce. Wbst the Tanioatpn meant was to call attention again to the deleys st Waycroas. I', could not of course pass upon the con tents of the letter indicated, which con tained chiefly the personal experience* of the correspondent. Kimptok, the pal of Governor Moses, of South Carolina, appeared at a police coart in New York with this record against him: He has not got a cent. Henry 1’.

He wssa broker of 20 Nassau street when he fell in with Chamberlain and went Into South Carolina bonds. He went to that State to look- after bis Investments, and wts a supporter there of Chamberlain and Motes. The bonds mined him and bit many of his friends, and a fraudulent transaction in them in which be was In volved with Moses ruined hls reputation. Ula friends in New Haven have tried at times to help him, bnt he pswne everything to bay opium. Hie wife left him long ago.

Macon's citizens have done all In their power to Improve the appearance of tbs city. Anything else will have to come frost the city council, and I don't know how the council could apply any fanda they may hava ta bond hereafter to beuer advantage than by •spending them npon the streets, bridges end public bnlldings. The present trouble, I understand, arises from the feet that the city has no extra land on hand, nor any method of raising each fund.

Vary respect fully, Ctrv OrncEn. In view of the circumstances stated in the above letter, the question with which it closes ta natural. The Tata gbafii has been to some trouble to give a clear answer. The city of Macon is not poor. Prob ably no Southern city stand* better, financially. The public debt lias been provide! for and disposed of. The only problem now, U, how to run the city upon it* income and conduct needed improvements? The reply to this ta by economy and good management the. income ot the city may by made sufficient to pay its running expenses. The improvements demanded by the city demand a new fond. This fund can be obtained from the tale of public l,orii used, held Gen, Lawton's Casa. Tho Senate being prepared to say that Andrew Johnaon’s pardons were worthless and that an ex pool facto law was good, nothing wu left to the President butt > withdraw the nomina tion of Gen. Lawton as minister to Russia. If, aa it is said, this is the only ob jection to the confirmation ot the nom ination, a bill can he passed relieving Gen. Lawton when Congress meets in December next, and bis appointment may be renewed. In this little incident the country may ice why the Republicans have always opposed a general amnesty bill. A gentleman who watches snch mat ters with interest informs us that the Senate has confirmed men with the same objections resting against them aa are raised against General Lawton but that they had become Republicans.
