It is not surprising, to those who know something about Washington juries and who recall the action of three members of the Jury in the first trial, that allies of the defendants are already cir-'culating a report to the effect that three members of this jury haVe been induced to stand' out against conviction, Two members of the first jury hays been indicted for their and that one of them sold there evidence his vote Tor the pitiful sum of in another case. It does 'not follow, however, thai the jurymen who ire to make a verdict in this case are cor nrpt, or have yielded to improper-influences.

(The evidence which has been! laid before them by the Government is stronger and BYen more convincing than the 'evidence npon which their predecessors Tound two of fi defendants guilty and failed to convict their associate onlj because of the defection of DiCKBoif and his two companions. The prosecutors expect that they will render an honest verdict and vindicate the law, and there seems to be, at present, no ground for a belief that they will do anything else. Hsyor Low, of Brooklyn, yesterday wrote to Mr. Jat, the President of the Slate Civil 6errke Com mission, declaring his wish, under the civil service act, to trescribe rejj- 'ulations for admission to the municipal ervice. lie ezptessed bis desire for the co-operation of the commission and 'pledged his "hearty efforts to make the law succeed" in Thisaction Is characteristically prompt and effective.

Brooklyn affords an excellent field for, the application of the system, and there is not a particle of doubt that it can be made to succeed there. Under Mayor Lbw'i friendly supervision the law will not only be made to do all the good of which lit Is capable, but ths way to improve it wHl be made clear. Uayor Edson is next in order; It has in some way come to the knowledge of the Brooklyn Board of Education that the German Catholic Orphan Home in the Eastern District, which! has long received a al axe of the public funds, is ah institution in wiich the teaching is purely sectarian. Catholic, apostolic, and so far! contrary to the spirit and letter of the act of 1850 as to deprive it of all title to aid from the public school moneys. The Law.

Committee of the board investigated the matter and has prepared a report, which says. In effect. that the instruction at the Ilome is. Indeed, purely sectarian; that the books used are Catholic works not authorized by the board, and that in the matter of sectarian Instruction, as well as in some other violations of the law have for a long time existed and still exist" But disregarding the plain letter of the law, this committee. recommends that the managers of the Home be paid their share" of the school money for the present year and ba reasoned with hereafter on the subject of sectarian instruction.

This Is curious, and smells politics, but a literal compliance with the terms of the report would still deprive the Catholic managers of the Home of public aid, for, under the law. "their share" of the! school fund is, of course, precisely nothing. Mr. Edww Haxvxt WaJx, aUai Capt. Archer," who was' lately; with us, is doubtless an undesirable sort of 'a person, but if ha has been wrongfully i extradited, as tha Public Prosecutor charged with the duty of proceeding agaiast hirn in Londom declares, through 4 roas abuse of tha provisions of tha treaty.

the least the British Government can do is to send him back here. We bave no longing Sot Wadoe. who seems to be a scoundrel, but as he was sent over on a trumped-up charge, being really wanted" for quite another matter, respect for sweaty obligations will compel bis return. And it may be remarked that blunders of this kind will not help Great Britain to secure the extradition of alleged Irish conspirators, from the United States. Of the gentlemen who have been selected for the Board of Civil Service Examiners in the Custom-house, one has been in the service 23 years, one 14 years, and none less than1 years.

Mr. Jonx M. Coxbtoce, of the Naval Office, has had the longest term, and is known as a skilied officer. He has been actively connected for four years with the civil service examinations, and has contributed much by his rare Intelligence, his unswerving Integrity, and his sound culture to their great success. Gen.

N. G. TVuxiams has also rendered valuable service by his probity and sagacity. Of the other Examiners we have hot so much knowledge, but the selections, both in the Customs and in the Post Office, appear to have been made with great good judgment These two departments have long been the strongholds of reform, and they will not be less so under the new law. Since nothing can be done to defend any town or 'settlement against cyclones, or to make these destructive cataclysms less frequent, scientific observers might find useful occupation in making observations on which to base warnings of impending disturbances.

At present the monotony of reports of lynchings in the Western and South-western States is interrupted only by tales of cyclones and hurricanes. These unexpected and unwelcome visitors, apparently dropping down out of the sky, and as suddenly vanishing, appeared in three somewhat widely separated localities yesterday. Beloit, WisV, wasu thrown into confusion andL wreck. The little town of Brush Creek, Iowa, was wiped out of ex istence, and a tornado, cyclone, or other aerial convulsion drew the greater part of North Vernon, up into the clouds. Southern Wisconsin felt the disturbance that dashed through Beloit, but full details' of the damage done cannot come to hand until the region devastated is once more brought into ordinary relations with the rest of the country.

The German National LiSerals are to be congratulated on the loss of their able leader, Herr von Beitoigsen. who has iust resigned his seat in the lower house of the Prus sian Landtag and ia the Reichstag. Herr vox Bexsigse is above all a political trimmer. His idea of Liberal opposition to the insolently unconstitutional Government of Bismarck has been placid and polite discussion, compromise, and in the end a backing down and silent acquiescence; and' his influence was so great that the movement of the "New Liberals, or Secessionists," in 1880 to form a party with a more spirited and aggressive policy never attained great importance Herr vox Benmgsex was in favor of Liberalism, but "agin its application" to the problems of the German Government, for he did not believe that the federation was yet strong jenough in its unity to be intrusted to Liberal custody. It hardly need be said that with a "doughface" like him for a leader the Liberal cause was hopeless.

What Germany most needs as an antidote to Bismarck is more blatant Radicals. A CASE Jli POINT, We recently called attention to the mischievous' effect of the law which fixes the terms of the principal officers in the Government service at four years and the advantage of the exceptional arrangement by which the term of Internal Revenue Collectors is left indefinite. The superior efficiency of this latter provision comes from the fact that removals cannot be made without the responsibility for them beings brought directly home to the President those to whom he may listen. We gave in our Columbus dispatches yesterday an'account of the way in which this works. Gen.

C. C. Waxcutt, the Collector, is Teported to hare been replaced by a Mr. Furat, a local editor, whose commission, however, is not yet given to him. The change is made during a recess of Congress, though there was no urgent need for the Encumbent being quite capable and wflling to remain on duty for the preient The move 1a attributed to ex-Speaker Keifeb, who is nlWi to have secured the President's consent at once to reward a personal and political friend, and to make trouble for those who have nof aided him in recent political manoeuvres.

If these were the real motives of the change, they were, of course, entirely indefensible; but it is interesting Just now to perceive that if this change had been proposed under the law of 1820, at the close of a four years' term, it would not have excited the same degree of attention, and the reasons which have led to it would not have been so closely scanned nor so sharp- ly juageo. vuiuuiuiu laciaent also opens up some opportunities Tor profitable reflection as to the political value of patrocaire and it effect upon tne fortunes of the party or the party leader enjoying it In this instance there was no question of arbitrarv rimfti Gen. Walcctt having been elected Mayor of the city, was prepared to resirn hi Aftw whenever the Administration should Wirll it But though the change was thus robbed of! one-nau ineuuai sources of discontent, those! mat remained cave been sufficient to arousd a good deal of feeling. Because the, Presi aens nas tent an ear to Mr. Keite t.

Mr Keiter is accused of having pro motea a man who has "been fightl ing me cute administration for years and the President is regarded as havinJ given notice -mat little aid can be hoped for from the Administration In thn th-mmI figtt" The ex-Speaker is declared to havi seriously rnjured himself," and to havl piacea an obstacle in the way of his ftj tare political aspirations, Naturally thil on i comment nas no legitimate relatioi to tha mere chance la tha Federal aerl vlfce.

POSTAL CONTRACTS. The case of Jobs RMiker not the only one in ilch the fost Offlcje Department has rec ntly exhi jilted vert peculiar ideas abe-ut ciders and contracts. The postal rjote ari money order act, approved on March 3, qvided that the wo rk of en graving the atea and printing ie blanks should be give i to the lowest, bid er. Proposals were tiled for, nd. the Jureau of Engraving aid Printing lost te job of making the stal notes) which as taken by a farm in this City.

jn May Postmas-ter-GeLral resham advertised! for bids from all firms that desired tha crintmrt tnr I money order lanks and books. Sx bidders responded, anh one of tnenrrwas the Public Printer, who at the head of this Goveru- ment printin, house injWashinirlon. The blanks was submitted by a lowest bid fori firm in PH and tie lowest bid for bhfak-books ibv Wvk Hallerbsckl -of thu- City. con- tracts were therefore i awarded! to these firms, and this awards were announced to them on the fyh inst These firml had spent money in -preparing proposals which contained nearly 300 items, jiand In otter waya. They were poud of their succesff and they sent their tasjpks to the departmelit They were thenrunacquainted with the depart-meat's methods in such casea.

On the folfowmg day -they wer Informed that the Public Printer had fotfnd several clerical error in his wabosals. anil that the awards made to them had been canceled. The firm In this Gry immediately forwarded to the department an emphatic protest It would be useless, they said, for them to bid again. They had carefully prepared their estimates, and the Public Printer, knowing what they were, could easily bid lower in the next competition. They also gave notice that they intended to sue the Postmaster-General for damages.

Was not the Postmaster-General's action something of a departure from the established rules of contract-letting, inasmuch as the successful bidders were not on trial or having committed frauds under previous contracts, had given bonds in a large sum. and were responsible persons in every sense or tne term Suppose that the fortunate bidder had discovered, afief the award had been made, that there were clerical errors in his estimates, would "the department have alldwed him to correct them? Is it "not the rule that in such a competition a bidder must stand by his bid If every one who submits sealed proposals for work were allowed to correct clerical errors two or three days after the announcement of an award, the competitive system of contract-letting would soon become unpopular. If our memory serves us, bidders for postal contracts in the past have in vain for release or for permission to correct clerical errors, and have been forced to appeal to Congress for the relief which the department would not give. The Postmaster-General seems not only to have been unjust to the two firms, but also to have established a dangerous precedent The course pursued by the department in letting contracts seems to depend upon the character of the bidder. When Miser, a member of the star route ring, whom the department is prosecuting, happens 4o be the lowest bidder the officers or the department send the papers to the Court-house and beg him to take the contract, after they have caused the withdrawal of all bids.

When reputable business men become the lowest bidders, contracts are taken away from them, even after awards have been made, 6imply because another bidder has discovered ia his estimates several blunders, for which it is right that he should suffer. -A GOV. BUTLER'S INVITATIONS. If Gov. Bctler feels any soreness at his failure to receive a degree from Harvard University honorit cauta, it is doubtless somewhat soothed by the invitations which he has received to be the guest of other distinguished institutions at" their coming festivities.

He is to be at the Exeter Academy centennial celebration, which is quite proper, as he is an Alumnus of that worthy seat of secondary instruction, and he will celebrate the Fourth of July with Williams College, by which he was honored with an LL. D. so long ago as 18G4. when his military laurels were fresh and his executive capacity had but recently been exhibited to some purpose" in the city of New-Orleans. We see no intimation as yetlthat he has been invited as the Governor of the Commonwealth to participate in the Commencement exercises at Cambridge, but we see no reason why he should not be.

That at least would be a fair compliment to the office he holds! It is customary to bestow it even upon-that inconspicuous functionary, the Mayorof Cambridge. Moreover, it would proceed, not from the Board of Overseers, bufrrom the President and Faculty, who had no part in the recent proceeding whicli the Governor possibly regards as a slight The President is ex officio one of the Overseers, but he voted in favor of conferring the degree on the Governor, while members of the Faculty are not even qualified to vote for Overseers. Thes latter hold their places by the suffrages of the Alumni, scattered all over the country, members of the Faculty alone excepted. 1 The Governor of Massachusetts, with the escort of the white-plumed and red-coated lancers, has long been a conspicuous figure in the Commencement Day It would be a pity to miss it this year: Per-Iraps Butter would not feel like accepting tSe invitation, but that should not be teassumed. If he is not philosophical enough to distinguish between a degree and an invitation to dinner, the officers of the college ought to be.

Degrees are. supposed to bo conferred for cause growing out of the character, attainments, and achievements of the recipient No one claims the honor as a right, and it is not modest to feel slighted if it is withheld. Whatever else Bctler may be, he is modest An invitation' to Commencement, on the -other hand, may be a compliment to a man. in official station, and the Governor of Massachusetts holds, a high station, to which Harvard College owes much respect We hope he will be invited out on Commencement Day and that he will go. We have no doubt he would be properly treated.

RIVAL RACES IN GEORGIA. There will be no Chinese hordes in Georgia, The people of that enlightened Com-1 monwealth have drawn the line at Willis' Loo Chokg. The story of the love, courtship, marriage, and commercial prosperity of this Mongolian has been told in The; Times, In the far Western States, where the largest and most varied experience with Chinese immigration has been met, the opposition of the proud Caucasian to the Mongol springs from his hatred of cheap labor. In Georgia a local prejudice against miscegenation is the foundation of the dislike of ChineseJ immigration. The first Chinese immigrant in Georgia, or, at least, the first in Burke Gounty, was a commercial person, the aforementioned Willie Loo Chokg.

As he sold goods, he was not amenable to the charge of being a cheap Chinese laborer. -The cheapness of his ware? on the contrary, brought him friends and customers. One of these young lady, the daughter of one of the purest and best of the sons dfthe sunny South. In course of time. Willi Loo Choko, who is admitted to be gocd-looking and intelligent, craftily made love to the young lady.

It Is not 'charged that, Othello-like, he had recourse to love charms, philters, and magic, although the local historian does say that "the artful Chinaman sought her. favor by gifts of bon-bons." The wicked caean prospered, built 'a store, then a cozr 12, 1883. cottage, and finally set up a tandem team. Finally, to cap the climax of this riotous depravity, he asked of the Georgia parent the band of his daughter. A chivalrous son of the soil would have run away with the girl, and would have impeded' pursuit by the enraged parent with, a borrowed shotgun.

The idol-worshiping Mongolian sued for consent to marry the young lady, and, whatsis worse, he got It There being no family or social impediment, the twain were made one. and, so far as history records, they have lived happily from that day to this. But, unfortunately, Willts Loo Chojtg "longed for' congenial companionship," and. as the local story goea. induced others of his race to the number of 15 or 20.

to seek thsir fortunes In Augusta," thus bringing his congenial companionship to a point 32 miles from Waynesboro. Two of the obnoxious pagans, however, settled in Waynes, boro, being thereunto Incited by Satan and the example of the successful Willie Loo Choxo. The new-comers were not cheap Chinese laborers, but merchants. "The people of the county," we are told, "were not opposed to the new-comers doing business in their midst, but they did fear their designs upon some simple-minded girls who might be foolish enough to be caught in the toils of Chinese duplicity." The girls of Waynesboro are notoriously simple-minded. One of them had married an intelligent and thrifty Chinaman, and was keeping house in his -cozy cottage, driving about in his tandem T-cart, and otherwise conducting herself, as Miss Susan Nipper would say, "as brageon as.

alabaster." At this point" the patience of' the chivalrous sons of Georgia broke down. If these two depraved pagans should marry two simple-minded girls, what chance would there be fori the native -sons of the sunny South Obviously none. Accordingly, the sons arose in their might, disguised themselves heroically, demolished the Chinamen's store, and with much contumely and violence drove the creatures out of town. ii i The 6ame account says that the young men engaged! in making this protest against miscegenation and social equality" had the hearty sympathy of the community. Of course, no true bill of indictment against the protestants could be found.

None was found, although the Chinese Minister addressed Secretary Frxlcsghutsek', and the Secretary addressed the Governor of Georgia, and the Governor instructed Solicitor Boykis Wright to institute legal proceedings against the alleged rioters. It is recorded that the. Solicitor went to work so energetically that his zeal excited deep hostility, and threats were freely made to have him for some imaginary offense. The young men of, Waynesboro, however, are left in security? They canj court and marry the1 simple-minded girls who might otherwise be foolish eno.ugh to be caught in the toils" of a thrifty and tor telligent Chinaman. If the simple-minded girls of Waynesboro would'' marry, there are me norse-racmg, cocK-ngnting night- riders of Burke County, no longer cast in the shade by their Chinese rivals.

Mis- cegenation, social equality, and marriage between "the races" have been effectually stamped out in Burke County, Ga. MR. SULL1 VAN'S DOMESTIC MILL" Mr. James. Mace explained to a Police Justice not long ago that he and his antipodean pupil ought to be permitted to give a sparring exhibition in order to show with what success a gentleman" could defend himself "when attacked by a ruffian' Whether Mr.

Macs: had cast his pupil for the ruffian, or had given a violent wrench to his own character by himself assuming fliat part, did not clearly appear, although, he did mention that upon one occasion no had got decidedly the better of ex-Senator ROSCOK COXKLTSO. But Mr. Johx L. ScLLrvay, a still more illustrious professor of the manly art of self- defense, has just shown the value of that artj by defending himself against his wife. He had even less trouble with that ruffian than Mr.

Mace had with Sir. Coxxlixg or than he himself encountered Mr. Tco WrxsoK, knocking her out, In fact, at the, first blow. As neither the championship nor any stake was involved, this match is not a matter of record, and with that modesty which distinguishes the truly SclliVax even exerted himself and exercised his friends to keep the report of it out of the newspapers. His efforts were defeated by the rufflan, who, instead of acknowledging herself fairly beaten in a contest which she had invited by commenting upon Mr.

Scxlivak's growing preference for coming home drunk, appealed to the arbitrament' of a. police court The minions of the law have thus far failed to find MrJ Sullivan. His prac-' tice of coming home druck indeed, deplorable, and is attributed to the social sup-cess which Was the homage of Boston to his skill as an artist It is natural that Boston should be anxious to hush up a scandal of this magnitude, which reflects rather upon Boston society than upon the young who has been turned by its favor from a frugal and-scber slugger into a wine-bibber. But the value of the manly art of self-defense in enabling a gentleman to defend himself against a ruffian is vindicated anew. If Mr.

Scllivas Should be arraigned at the suit of the beaten ruffian, he will, no. doubt, answer in the heroic spirit of the colored person who was detected in a pasture with a carcase of freshly-made mutton: "Any man's sheep that bites me I will kilL -To confine a sane man Is as wrong, but It Is by no means so mischievous, as to let a dangerous lunatic loose upon society.

SOME OLD WORLD I2EJHS. Two weeks ago the Rev. Phillips Brooks, of Boston, preached In Westminater Abbey to one of tbe densest congregations that could assemble there.

He has also preaobed recently In some of tbe leading churches of London, among them 8t Mark In Kensington, and St Hlcbael's, In Cbee-ter-aquare. Inuring his last illness the late M. Laboulaye's health was Inquired after by Minister Morten, and a letter which Labonlaye wrote in acknowledgment of this kindness has been made publio In Parts. It bears date -and la as "I thank yon for tbe Interest you are so good as to take In tbe state of my health. The Time (London was too ma eh In a hurry to' bury me: I sm still alive; burdo not blame It, because I learn thus that people still think of me.

even In America or among some of my American friends. Permit to sabscrib myself with thanks -and i Some in teres tine statistics bearing on caoi- tal puauhment have been published In Berlin. R- tween the years 18M and 3868, 18 persons were condemned In Germany to deoanltatioa. these 28 only ware executed. Between 1883 and 17S8 no fewer than 428 were condemned, but In no case was tbe sentenee carried out In the Tear 19TS.

however, Eddel was executed for bis attempt on the Emperor, but In 1879 and 1830 ther were no executions. Sine 1881 there has been only 8. Th German executioner is named Krants. and he has assistants, wao are also paid oy the Sute. It Is their duty to divert.

It is said to be a boast with Krauts that he wields his axe so cleverly that he always severs tbe head from the body at the first stroke, i The completion of Queen Victoria's sixtv- foarth birthday has led some one In England to compile a statement of the ages of various sovereigns now relgnlnr. From this It anneara that the Emperor of Germany is the oldest, being 84, and that the King of the Netherlands ranks next In age. being 68. Then soma: fh King of Denmark, aged 65; Queen Victoria.

ss. jThe efforts ct th Brazilian Government to attract Immigrants to Brazil have not been well rewarded. It spends upward of S300.CO0 a year la this way, but. while 1100.900 people came to the United States In 1880-81. only 40.783 entered the empire of Com Pedro, and the most of these came from Italy and PortugaL Two reasons are given for this result One is th fact that a laree proportion of Brazil's vast territory Is practicaUy in-accessible, and tbe other that while the Immigrant Is fed and lodged at the Government boarding-house at Rio Janeiro after he lands, while he is given free transportation to the Government lands and a few seeds and tools, and Is for six months allowed SO oents a day for each adult In his family and 10 eenta for each child, he nevertheless gets very little land, and.

betides being remote and very often Impracticable to develop, the land is high priced; for he Is allowed only 8 acres, for which he must either pay down $14 an acre or else $16 SO an acre In Installment covering years.

"Tbe Queen's Lac Handkerchief. This work was taken into popular favor last Fall when the Casino Was opened, and tbe generous applause of the large audience which viewed its reproduction laat night Indicated that it was brosgbt back to this City at a fortunate time. The work is called on tbe programme spectacular," but upon what particular traits its claims to this title are based is net manifest There is no room or scenic effects of unusual excellence, nor is there any great opportunity for the pomp and pageantry of the stage which is classed under spectacle. Th costumes are provided with unstinted generosity and praiseworthy taste, and possibly tbe management, taking into consideration the eopioas display of silk hose, has used the word with some significance. The music of tbe opera la genuine Strauss dance mualo throughout If there be any merit In sensuous malody.

gentle modulation, aad a eapti-vatlng oscillation of rhythm, then the music of Strauss is worthy of much prais. It certainly ha a marvelous for th poblio ear. and. as almost, every bar or it Is driven bom by th energetio pulsations of the bass dram and cymbals. It Is likely to dwell In the memories of men for some time.
