The oapitol building at Trenton, New Jersey, was burned on Saturday. Valuable court and department pa pers were consumed, and much his torlc tr asure was lost. The Dubuque Herald says the post master-general’s name is pronounced as it is spelt—Vi-las, and not Vee las or Vii-as. Take notice and govern yourselves accordingly. Glad to know it. Much in being said abo t the bad plight of England In her present roubles with Russia and El Mahdi, but If Italy will stand up to her as she seems determined to do on both land and water, Mr. Gladstone will have nothing to fear. An exchange says: Mark Twain has been “sat down on” again. The Public Library Committee of Con cord, New Hampshire, has unani mously decided to exclude from the shelves of that Institution, ’‘Buckle berry Finn." The general opinion of the committee is ”tbat the book Is flippant and irreverent in its style; it deals with a series of experience* that are certainly not elevating; the whole book is of a class that is more profltable for the slums than It Is for respectable people, and it is trash of the veriest sort." The ninth volume of the tenth cen sus report., just issued, shows that the forest product of this country for the census year amounted to $700,- 000,000 in value, while the wheat harvest, valuing the product even at $1 a bushel, amounted to only $450,- 000,000, and our Iron and steel pro duction is lees than $300,000,000. All our coal, soft and bard, for the year, was valued at $100,000,000, while our wood burned for domestic purposes alone was estimated to be worth more than three times that sum. The death of poor Cohen, one oi the skating rink contestants at the Madison square. New York, tourua meat last week, was a sad affair, when the Inside story of the case Is told. He did not expect to win the first prise, or any prise for skating, but the terms of the contest promised SSO to all the contestants who re mained twelve hours a day on the track during the tournament. Cohen was out of worn and oould not get It, and grasped this chance to make at least the SSO for his wife and little ones, and relied on his power of en durance, and not on bis skill as a skater, for his reward. He struggled on from day to day, against the ad vice of bis friends to quit the rink and go home for rest, and suffered to the close, notwithstanding the hoots and jeers of the thoughtless critics who kuew not the motive that kept him on the rink. At the close of the con test he went for his money, but it was on some pretext refused him. He gotanotbing, when he expected SSO. The shock of disappointment crushed him. He went home, took his bed and died. He left his wife s pauper, and was himself burled as one. The one redeeming feature iu this case is that it the thousands who jeered the poor fellow bad known his desperate heroism, they would have given him a well-fllied purse instead of hoots and jeers. Comfortable mankind may be thoughtless, but it is never heartless, and we are glad to know It. ——— ——l ■ A HTAKrLINU DIMCOVBKY. The Majority of the Kx-Oonfedera tea Barred out of Office. Wasainotoe,March 19. The south ern spoil-hunters have discovered a novel point in their examination of the civil service regulations, and it is one which they Intend to emphasize to “fire the southern heart” against the civil service system. The regu lations which have been adopted by tbe civil service commissioners pro vides that no person shall te permit ted to make application for a clerical position in the portofilce department who is over 35, and that no person shall be permitted to make applica tion for a position in the treasury de partment who is over 45, unless In either case the applicant may chance to have been an honorably discharged Union soidies or sailor. A strict in terpretation of this rule would ex elude any person wno was in the Con federate army from clerical position In the poetoffice department if be was more than 11 years of age in iB6O, or from service under the treasury if be was more than 21 years of age when the war began. The discovery of this fact has created a very marked excitement among southern men, Mr. E. A. Burke, of the New Orleans Times Democrat, and manager of the great exposition, who is here, is cred ited with the discovery. He says; “Why, the civil service regulations disfranchise every ex-confederate. The average of enlistment in the confederate army was from fifteen to twenty years. There certainly must have been very few enlistments under fifteen years, but you will see by these regulations that, as twenty four years have .elapsed since the war began, and the period witbin which a person can become an ap plicant for a position in the post office department is fixed at thirty five years of age, unless he is a dis charged union soldier, no one who was in the ooufedette army can come within these regulations if he was more than 11 years of age when he enlisted, anil it is under the post office department that the vast ma jority of the appointments are to be made in the southern states; and no i one who was in the confederate army, in ilk' manner, could secure an ap pointment under the treasury under the civil service rules who was over 21 when the war began. Bu«h a prop osition would make a terrible havoc in the ranks of the southern office seekers. It would bar our people pretty nearly all out. The elect within such limitations would be rare exceptions?" "What are you going to do about it?” “That’s the point. If these rules are to be rigidly enforced we shall de mand a re-examination under the civil service system of all the Feder al officials who hold office in the south. It you take even a hasty glance at the civil service require ments you will see that very few of the persons now holding office could be re- appointed under any such con ditions. There Is probat. |y not one twentieth part of those In office who could pass an examination under the civil service system. We shall bring this question prominently to public notice, and I do not know of any other way in which we can make the demand known. Should that be re fused, our only remedy would be either to insist upon a modification of the regulations or a reorganiza tion of the board of civil service commissioners. It Is a pretty vital question for the people of our sec tion, and I do not believe that the people of the country are quite ready to admit that a man is to be deprived of service under the government be cause be served In the confederate army.” HON HENRY R. HARRIS. He Passes Through Atlanta and Talks About Democratic Reform. Hon. Henry B, Harris passed through Atlanta on his way from Washington. He said: "I was glad to notice while in W.isblngtou that there were fewer applicants for office from the south than from any other section, in pro portion to population. There seems to be a very small demand from the south for get erul office, although the president is giving the south its share. Iu the distribution of the patronage I notice one thing, where the two senators from a state agree on an ap plication it is about certain to be successful.” “Will there be many changes made at once?" “Yes, the president and his cabinet feel sure that they can reduce the working force in the department at Washington fully twenty per cent, without impairing the efficiency in the leaet. This ratio of reduction can probably be extended through the country. You know that the attor ney general has already decided to have no assistant district attorneys. In the postofflee department It has been decided to heavily reduce the number of poetoffice inspectors, and I elui.ll be surprised if the d, moorate do not reduce the office-holding force twenty per cent within a year or two. Ae to changes at present only vacan cies will be Ailed In the smaller offices. Os course the leading officers of the departments will bo appointed rapidly, and the departments in Washington will be reorganized first. The impression is that the president will then take up the states one at a time and make such changes ae seem proper, beginning probably with Virginia, which needs attention bad ly, and which has an election next tall in the entire south there will be. I think, a pretty clean sweep.” “How is the administration sus taining itself?” “Finely. No observant man can be in Washington a week without be coming hopeful as to the succession. There will be more or less disap pointment of office seekers who fail, but back-of the applicants for office, who though prominent, are really few, stands the great, conservative body of the people, wao went honest, economical and safe government above everything else. This Mr. Cleveland will demonstrate thedemo crats will give them. He is surround lug himself with safe advisers. It is understood that Mr. Randall has more influence than any other man, which fact alone is considered a good omen.”—Constitution. GEORGIA BOND#. VITE I’Klt CENT —THIBTT IXAB3.
