HUBBILLI8M.
Jy Babbell is not happy. The depart
ment are not doing as well u they ought
to. The Janitors, day laborers and scrub
women bare "cone down" as handsomely
as could be expected, but the executive
and treasury clerk's, under Folgcr's assur
ance that they needn't It they don't want
to, are treating Hubbell with contempt,
lie has put out a new circular, reminding
them that there is danger of the election of
a democratic congress which may cut
short their fodders, if he can't do it.
Aside Irom the indecency and meanness,
however, of this blackmail system, there
is another view of it that ought to arrest
public attention. The money thus raised
really comes out of the public treasury aud
is as much filched from it as if it had nev
er passed through the hands of the em
ployes. The way of it is this: of the tout
horde oi officials and other employes of the
government, there are constantly 10 to 15
per cent absent from duty off on account
of sickness of themselves or families, or on
vacation. Though in most cases there is
not the slightest necessity for it, pay for
"overwork" is allowed to clerks who re
main and discharge the duties of the ab
sentees, and in the selection nf employes
to do this "overwork" those are favored
who promptly pay their assessments. They
do in fact no additional work, as the "over
work" Is always performed within the reg
ular six or eight hours per day during
which all the employes do their work. It
is a sheer system of robbery, invented to
ease the assessment burden, anil is as di
rect a plunder ot the public treasury as if
the money was seized by a burglar.
Again, the heavy draft upon the gnU
ries of the government employes for elec
tioneering purposes, amounting seldom to
less than 8 or 10 per cent, a year for besides
the National Committees, state and distt iut
committees are constantly making similar
levies affords a standing plea in congress
to increase the pay of the department
clerks, janitors, scrub-women, &c. Thera
is hardly a session but adds more or less
to the pay of tho government employes,
while the system is an lrresistablo tempta
tion to the party in power constantly to in
crease their number, so that it is notorious
there arc hundreds of persons on the gov
ernment pay rolls in Washington, New
Yore, Philadelphia and other large cities
to-day who are either sheer idlers or no
more or less than secretaries, lackeys or
servants of the high government ofliciuli.
Thus the system is dishonest, corrupting
and debasing in a variety of ways, and is
becoming such a stench that common de
cency, if no higher consideration, must
soon demand its discontinuance.
CRIME.
The detectives seldom put in a better
job of work than they did in the case of
the Kewance bank robbery. They traced
the principal operator in the job, one Ed
ward N. Welsh, to an out-ot-the-way vil
lage in New York, aid there arrested him,
and with such proofs ot bis guilt that
" Welch was compelled to confess. Ho im
plicated Dr. J. S. Scott, a Kewanee "tooih
carpenter," but better known ss a skillful
poker-player, as having planned the job,
and said Fratt, tho acting 'cashier, was a
party to it. Accordingly Scott was next
arrested at St. Louis, and then Pratt, the
cashier, who had allowed Welch and his
partner to lock himselt and Miss Harris,
bis assistant, in the safe vault. Welch
claims that the main part of what he aud
bis partner, whom he refuses to namo, car
ried away from the bank was the $3,000
subsequently found in a cornQeld near tho
city, and that the gold and other valuables
had been removed beforehand by Tratt.
Sylvanus K. Makison, the "tramp" ar
rested for the murder of Mrs. Maggie
Copehn, a few miles south of Kewanee,
111., has admitted h is guilt and pointed out
the place where he concealed the money
stolen by him at the time, and the money
has been recovered. Mrs. Copelin, it ap
pears, hod known Makison in Ohio, and
he visited the house familiarly. On the
day of the murder ho called and found
fcer alone. She asked bim to bring In an
armful or wood. He did so and laid It all
away in tho wood-box except one stick.
This he hold in his hand. When Mrs.
. Copelin stooped to fix tho fire he struck
her a violent blow on tho forehead. She
then ran into the next room, begging for
mercy, no then fired three shots at her,
. hitting her twice, killing her instantly. He
then went into an adjoining room, robbed
- a trunk of 78 in bills and also stole a
pocket-book containing $3 and some
trinkets from the clock. These ne carried
away and hid along the road running at
the back ot the form, ne then came back
and viewed the corpse, went to a neigh
bor's, washed, shaved, put on a clean shirt,
. ate dinner and then went and looked at the
corpse again and then came to town, and
when the alarm was given and a posse was
raised to hunt tho murderer, he at once
Joined) in the hunt, and was so occupied
when arrested.
Arthur Brooks, of Washington, Ind.,
fired four bullets into Dr. Gauso tho other
night because tho Doctor informed Brooks'
wife that her husband was intimate with
another woman. Brooks quietly left the
village for parts unknown.
Mike Powers, a watchman on the Louis
ville & Nashville railroad at Louisville,
was shot to death, supposedly by tramps,
early on Wednesday morning.
Mr. Ango, of Milo, Me., was stopped by
two highwaymen on Wednesday, shot in
the jaw, and relieved of $480.
Although nearly every Republican in
Iowa voted for prohibition and the party
there Is thoroughly pledged to that issue,
the Iowa delegates to the iate National
Prohibition Convention at Chicago with,
drew from that body wbca it resolved to
organize a National Prohibition Party. In
the Iowa view the republican party there
as in Illinois is already a prohibition parry
"lnslne," though it is loo hypocritical to
labol Itself as such "outside."
Votsm ob iTohlbltlon.
Senator Vorbees, ef Indiuna, in b splen
did opening speech of the campaign in
that state at Terre lTaiite on Monday even
tng, after golag over the Issues between the
'far ties generally, defined his position on
fee prohibition question, stating that while
.tbero might be uo objection to letting the
people vote on submitting a constitutional
amendment, when submitted, he should
vote against its adoption, being opposed to
the policy of prohibition ; and he gavo his
reasons for taking such ground in the fol
lowing eloquent and forciblo language:
In making laws to govern the poople it
is the part of wisdom to recognize human
nature as it is aud as it has been in all
ages, rather than to erect a different stand
ard from that created by the Almighty.
As far as my reading extends I find that
every people on the globe have bolicvd
themselves capable and entitled to determ
ine what thev would eat, drink, aud wear.
These aro the most fundamental rights of
human nature. to deny them is to place
man on tho level with enslaved animals,
whom you feed and shelter according to
your wishes, and not theirs. This is the
reason wny prom onion, so caiieu, never
prohibits. Too instinct ot self -government
is strong in every mau's heart, and he at
once revolts against such an intrusion
upon ma right of private judgment and
self-control. Twenty-eight years ago I
was just entering upon tho ntlairs of life,
and the party opposed to the Democracy
at that time was a mongrel composed ot
prohibition anil Knownothlngism iu about
equal ports. I witnessed the temporary
triumpuand too speedy deatu oi this com
bination party. The attempt to euforco
the Maine law, as it was then called, in In
diana in 1834 was a miserable and demor
alizing farce. Nothing is worse in its ef
fects on the public morals than a law which
is a dead letter a law which it is the
sworu duty of courts and juries to enforce,
and which they will not enforce. 1 his
was the case in Indiana in 1604, and will
bo again if prohibition is adopted. It is
the case now to a greater or less extent in
every stato where prohibition nominally
prevails, liypocricy, irauu, contempt oi
law, with all their kiiulrcd evils, always
accompany such a stato of things. The
daily laborer may bo deprived ot his beer,
but tue man wno is auie win send to Ken
tucky for his whisky, which, under this
amendment, he can keep and drink to his
heart's content so he does not keep it for
sale. The adoption ot this amendment will
not keep a drop cf whisky, or brandy, or
foreign costly wines out of the state which
any one wants to bring here to drink. It
will simply stop the manufacture for sale,
and close up the vineyards and breweries
which Jefferson and every other philoso
phic mind regarded as great mitigations ot
tbe evils of intemperance. 1 would be wil
ling to leave this question to any intelligent
person who has traveled in the different
conntnes of Europe. Wheu the Hon.
Henry llson.ot Massachusetts, was ice-
President of tho tnited States, he made
an extensive tour abroad. He was at that'
time one of the most prominent and earnest
advocates of the temperance cause in this,
r any other couutry. Upon his return,
in a conversation with me, he said he did
mot see an intoxicated person after crossing
the English channel, although he saw tho
French and the Germans drinking tbelr
native wine and Leer every day as we drink
coilee, tea, or water. He was convinced,
as I am, that the danger is lrom the strong
liquors, and not from the light beverages,
which every civilized people have used
from the days of Abraham, and including
the founders of the Christian religion, to
the present ti mo. no who succeeds best
in substituting the use of malt liquors and
ativo wines for whisky and brandy
amongst the laboring classes, and all others,
will rank as a statesman and a philanthro
pist. Tho workingmcn of Pennsylvania hold
t state convention at Philadelphia on
Monday and nominated Thomas A. Arm-
strong for Govornor, making the fifth can
didate for Governor on the track in that
state the others being the stalwart repub-
hean, the independent republican, the
democratic and the greenback candidate
The movement, though said to be in the
interest of the Cameron ring, is not regarded
as of much importance, as it will take as
many votes from ths republicans as demo
crats, as well as absorb a large vote that
has hitherto been cast for the greenback
candidates. Tho platform adopted con
sisted of 18 planks, the most important of
which is a declaration in favor of sueh i
modification of the tariff laws as shall pro
tect American labor against tho competi
tion resulting from the free immigation
of foreign workmen; in favor of laws
compelling chartered corporations to pay
their employees in cash every week j the
reduction of the hours of labor to eight per
day; tho substitution of arbitration for
strikes; and equal pay for equal work for
both sexes.
Tho Democrats of Michigan, in their re
cent state convention, adopted a resolution
in favor ot tho election of postmasters by
tho people. The measure has soma con-
sulerations to recommend it, chief among
which aro that it would lessen tho army
of officials whom tho party in power now
rely upon to do a vast deal of their dirty
work to keep corrupt administrations in
power, aud would cut off rt good many
millions of salaries for the Jay nubbells
to levy upon for corruption funds. But
then, if the oillco of postmaster was elective,
the national government would regulate,
supervise and control every election, an
amount of interference by tho federal power
in local affairs that would prove intolerable.
The horde of supervisors and inspectors
would more than double in number the
aruiy of postmasters and be ten times as
pestiferous. Besides the postmaster is a
ffcderal officer and ought to bo under the
rigid supervision of and accountable to the
head of tho postal department, an account
ability ho would be apt', o regard lightly if
luuepenucui oi nun lor appointment or
removal.
Our present tariff system is crammed
with dirty, tricky little false pretences and
frauds, among which is a duty of 15 centa
a bushel on foreign potatoes. It is levied
under pretence of protecting tho American
farmers from the destructive competition
of foreign potato growers, as if the farmers
of this country, especially the west, needed
protection against Ireland or Germany on
potato raising! Lost spring, on account of
the short crop in this country the year be
fore, was tho ouly time in forty years wheu
potatoes were imported from abroadand
these were largely purchased by farmers
Tor seed, who thus paid tbe 15 per cent,
tax levied ostensibly for their "protection."
The tax was really smuggled into the tariff
bill by the New England truck farmers to
protect against the competition of truck
tarmers in Canada and New Brunswick.
t is iu all its essentials a cunning little
ankee trick to benefit a very small class
a very small section of the con u try at
the expense of half a doeen of states.

been found, but still lacked facilities for
drilling and general maneuvering. Again,
t was demonstrated that by the time tl.f
ompanies had tome fairly settled in
uartera the tlU" hoa arrived to break
camp. It was a repetition or what bta
been said vory many times heretofore, that
in view of the limited tune allotted for the
regiments to go into camp, the need of a per
ruanout camping sites, such as is possessed
by the stato ef Now York, is very appar.
ent The result of tho Aurora encampment
tends also to prove that, as a rule, greater
bene tit will aecruo to the troops if they g
into camp in regimeuU than as a brigade,
as what they need most of all is battalion
work. The formations of tho line and the
cm-monies showed this to be true at the
lato encampment. It is declared that the
sentinels and their Instructors seemed a lit
tle dazed as to their respective duties, but
the men of tho rcgimenM were of a char
acler that showed wtllingiUMS to pettorm
their duties, aud only needed proper in

quality tho crop has not been equalled
since 1S57. In each of thirteen counties
the yield exceeded 1,000,000 bushels, while
St. Clair, Madison and Cl'nton produced
over 2,000,000 bushels each. La Salic Is
credited with but 30,577 bushels, Kane with

1 Itrvutar Correspondence. )
Alexandria, Egypt, Aug. I t, '82
Yesterday afternoon the Scots and Gren
aiiier Guards and tbe 75th Highlanders
disembarked hero and proceeded to the
front. The scene at the dock presented a
highly picturesque and interesting aspect.
Three transports contains? Guardsmen,
Scots nnd Grenadiers lay alongside the
quay, their sides lined with soldiers evi
dently delighted at the prospect of landing
and eager to see tho shattered city. Tho
troops looked very well after their voy.
age. Few of them had suffered from sea
sickness. Each of these fine battalions ex
hibited such eagerness to land before the
ether that tho General deemed it expedi
ent to give orders that they should disem
bark simultaneously. The regimental
baggage, stores, horses, etc., were landed
by niklday. Tho men, however, dined on
board, and paraded in full marching order
at half past three. Tho order to fall In
was then sounded by tho pipers and drum
mers and received with oiiooro. Groat .
lonishment was aroused among the assem
bled natives by the strains of the bag-pipee
At four o'elock, Generals Adyc, Alison
and Graham, accompanied by Admiral
Seymour, arrived to inspect tho Guards,
and, with the Duke of Connatight, walked
down the front of the line, nbout half-a-ruile
in length, ranks heme carefully
Pressed and colors unfurled. As soon as
the inspection was over, Sir John Adye
formed the ofliccrs into a circle nnd deliv
ered an impressive address, pointing oat
to them the duties and difficulties, hard
ships and perils of campaigning. He re
minded them that they must be prepared
to meet an enemy of great stren gth, numeri
cally con sidered, courageous, determined
and well-armed. lie cautioned them
against being too sanguine and over-confident
and strongly exhorted thera to guard
against surprises. At half-past four o'clock
tho Grenadiers' band struck up n quick
march and the battalion moved off in fours.
Tho Scots Fusiliers followed, headed by
their pipers, drummers and fifers. Simul
taneously the sailors manned yards, and
set up a lusty cheer which wo3 vigorously
echoed by tho Guards on tho quay.
Along the line of routo were to be seen
many groups of Arabs manifestly deeply
impressed with the magnificent appear
ance of these fine troops, and could be
heard ejuaculating: "Allah! Allah! what
fools we are!" The Europeans here turned
outenronsse to welcome tho Guardsmen,
who really offered an imposing spectacle,
streaming on steadily through the white
debri of buret houses, shoveled together
In heaps, upon whieh the turbaned and
red-capped Arab9 gathered in knots to seo
the English soldiers pa9 on their way to
the front.
The I)ul;c of Connaught, attended by
Major Lane, preceded the Guards during
their march through tho city. His Royal
Highness looks well and hardy. Ho baa
secured a small house adjoining the Ram.
leh Camp, which will bo the headquarters
of his brigade until General Wolseley's ar
rival. The Coldst reams are still outside the
harbor but will land to-day and join the
Guards Brigade. The impression at pres.
sent prevailing hero seems to be that tho
Egyptians will give tho English a deal of
treuble. Their cavalry is well handled,
they havo good engines at their command
and seem tolerably expert in flag signal
ling. They are strengthening their in
trenchmentson tho Canal, aud their move
ments in that direction can be plainly
seen from tho English positions.
"Yes, we are going to move in tbe first
circlas of society from now on," said an
Indiana lady to her companion.
"Why, how so?"
"1'ts this way; Paul, you know, our
youngest son, has been given a heifer calf,
by a uncle who runs a model farm down
near Kankakee. With the present price
of beef it will make us all rich."
A candidate met Uncle Moso on Austin
avenue and said to him: "Bo sure to come
to tho ward meeting, and bring all your
neighbors with you." "You kin jess bet
dey will come along with mo, or I Slav b(
home myself. Dar wouldn't K- chicken
lep in my coop it I was ter go to do ward
raectin' nnd lull dem nabors at home."
