The report m do by Mr. Points to iho

clerk wan a painful turptiio to the f riondi
of Mr , Lcftvi.t. Wo bavo up to this
time tofralncd from all comtaont upon
this Bsriofis matter , because Mr. Laavltt
was confined to his honso br Illness ,
Now thit ho has recovered , It becomes
onr duty to Iraprots upon him the pro-
priaty of an Immediate resignation.
-explanation that ho can make
will oxcusa the cominleslonors from
taking steps for his removal.
The fact that ho has mcdo falto entries
trllh regard to fees nnd undo ficlltlons
roporti BS an offhor constitutes an offense
too grave to bo condoned or paired by.
It Is no use to mlnco mattora. Mr. Laa-
vltt under the laws ia not only guilty of
malfoae.inco In oflioo , but has laid himself
liable to prosecution for cmbccclemont.
The law requires the county clerk to keep
a correct icoorl of the foes of hla oflico ,
nnd to mike sworn returns of the aggre
gate amount collected from tlmo to
time. Mr. Laavltt has oystomatlcally
made fraudulent entries on his too-book ,
end pDckotod the difference bat ween the
amounts actually collected and these entered -
tored on his book. With aush n ahowing
baforo thorn the oommUalonora have an
Imperatives duty to perform , unless Mr.

THE CHINESE IN SANF1UNOISCO.
The cltlsans of San Francisco objected
to the apnolntmout of a man to the po
sition of minister to China who was not
a resident of that city on the ground that
at ) eastern nun unacquainted with the
habits of the Chinese could not properly
represent this country and protect and
guard Its Interests In the celestial empire.
In spite of tholr protests , the
president cppolnted Col. Danby ,
of Ohio. Col. Danby has roichod San
Francisco , and the people of that ci'y
have taken him In tow , being determined
tint ho shall learn something of the
bsnntios of l > fo among the Chlneao bo-
fora ho sets anil for China. They nro ac
cordingly escorting him through that sic-
tloa of the city known as Chinatown ,
and holding up to his view the many de
lightful pictures of celestial llfo and cus
toms that there present themselves. Wo
venture to s y that the tfi'jcl upon Col.
Donby will bo a conversion to the views
of the people of San Franclao concern
ing the hoithon Chlneo. Perhaps it
will result In making him mcro of a
anti-Ohineso man thin if he had lived In
San Francisco all his life and had become
thoroughly accustomed to the overy-day
sights of Chinatown. The cry In San
Francisco is not now so much "tho Chi
nese must go , " 03 It Is "tho Ohlnoso must
not come. " The people want to impress
this fact upon Gal. Danby in hopes that
ho will see that the restriction lans are
faithfully observed. They certainly have
taken a very practical way of accomplish
ing tholr object.
A special committee of the Sin Fran
cisco board of Btipervkora rosantly
made a thorough Investigation Into
tbo condition of Chinatown , one
of Iti objects no doubt being to
present to Col. Donby a complete state
ment of facts and figures. Accord ng to
the report of this committee there nro
30,000 Chtnamon packed Into twelve city
blcckj. The Glthliioss of the quarter is
uald to be Indescribable ; nevertheless ,
the committee reports that the death rata
therein ii not excessive , which la a
puzzling problem for the sanitarians. The
owners of the property are white citizens ,
who DO cur a a higher rental than they
would receive by leasing to Americans ;
and , moreover , assist their tenants In
evading the requirements of municipal
law. The committo recommends a cleanIng -
Ing ont of the quarter and the enforce
ment of municipal lawa , with tha avowed
purpoeo of making It cost the Chlneeo so
much to live like Americans tint they will
hotake thomeolves to other cities. Bak
San Francisco has so long neglected the
enforcement of the laws that It is doubt
ful whether it can ba done now. The
Chinamen have acquired a strong foot
hold there , and while it h possible to
prevent any moro from coining , It will be
a very dlflisnlt matter to cause these that
arc there now to go ulaowhere.
FUNERA.L STATISTICS.
Some Interesting statistics and < ostl-
matoj of the cost of General Grant' *
funeral , and the profits therefrom to the
Now Yorkers , are furnished by the Now
York 'Commercial Advertiser. The
principal Items of funeral expenses are
given as follows : Regular troops , $3,000 ;
National Guud , $90,000 ; city expenses ,
§ 20,000 ; elvlo organizations , § 250,000j
draping , fitO.OOO ; total , 8872.000.
SHhor expenses , auch BE the casket , the
funeral car , , fie worn , carriages , etc. , prob

:
klmc t general suspension of business , la
;
atlmsted at several .millions , it
a considerably ovorbulcncod by
ha profits to the railways and hotoli.
Vcordiug to the calculations a rail-
oad man the various railroad * carried
Learly 400,000 parsons , the total amount
f fare piii being $2,000,000. At least t ]
fly thousand porcona patronized tlio
tivuu boat ; , the total faro being ? 100- .
00 The funeral proved a graat lift for
10 hotels , which are always nearly
cupty at this coiaon , Estimating thu
otol oxpfiusos at the low avonga of
2.00 a daj , the three day a took $0.00
cm each person , or $2,40D-
)0 from100,000 vlcitors. ar

Mn. ROLU.V M. SO.CIRES , ccmnvbslonor
of public worka In New York , nearly
precipitated a riot In that city during the
two or three days preceding the Grant
funeral , In decorating the city hall ho
had Inscribed on the whlto snarblo , over
the main entrancj , two "poetical" veree * ,
of his own competition. While they
were Intended ns a respectful tribute to
the memory of Gen.Grant , the public de
nounced thovcrsea as the most wretched
doggerel , and numerous Indignant
persons threatened to cover them
up with n coat of black piint ,
Mr. Squires , however , with the aid
of the poltcs , dolondod his poetic ofTation
for a day or two , but finally tbo excite
ment ran no high that Mayor Graca had
to Interfere and roitoro peace by peremp
torily ordering poet Sqalrea to oriso the
offensive versoa. This being done qniet
rolgned once moro In tha metropolis.
Mr. Squires , however , may ba eald to bo
a humiliated and crushed poet. But
there are hundreds of olhors who have
Inflicted upon n Buffering public verses
that are no batter than these of Mr.
Squires. Thosa wonld-bo poets as well
as the newspaper ! that have permitted
tholr productions to aao the light of day
ought to have been sot down upon
with n force equal to that which waa
brought to baar upon poor Squires.
The result of this Immense crop of obitu
ary "poetry" demonstrates the fact that
wo have but few real poets in thia coun
try. Wo do not hosltato to say that
there Is a splendid opening in the United
States for a first-class genuine poet one
who Is a born pool , notono who is manu
factured.
IT may surprise the people of Douglas
county to learn that for Eomo tlmo past
the insnno patients of Wyoming have
been kept at the Nebraska Ics uo asy
lum , while wo bavo been unable to se
cure accommodations In that Institution
for onr own lunatic ? . And yet Douglas
county hes.paid one-tenth of the cost of
erecting the Ksylnm , as well as one-tenth
of the expenses of Its maintenance , and
the attorney-general now calls upon the
county commissioners for a per capita tax
on our ineano patients for ton or twelve
years back , amounting In the aggregate
to nearly forty thousand dollar , ! . The
Wyoming patients have at latt been re
moved , but they never should have been
taken into onr asylum in the first place.
\Vo would like to know by what au-
tcority they have been maintained In the
Nebraska asylum.
Two TIIIIIDH of the delegates appointed
by Governor Dawcs to attend the north
west waterways convention at St. Paul
are either railway attorneys or monopoly
decoys. It la not very likely that they
will favor water so long as monopoly
straight is moro stimulating to them.
Four waterways conventions have been
hold during the past four years the two
Missouri river improvement conventions ,
ono at Council Bluffs and the other at
St. Jou , the MlaslppI convention at St.
Louis , and the national convention at
Washington , covering the Mississippi and
its principal tributaries. Of the dele
gates appointed to the coming conven
tion at St , Paul not a alnglo man has at-
attended any of the waterways conven
tions , and consequently not ono of thorn
is familiar with what haa already been
done and the work laid ont for the fu
ture.
THE most profitable newspaper In the
world , the London Times , is valued at
$25,000,000 , and the most profitable In

nto ; it waa Insolvent. The London
Standard Is valued at 810,000,000 , the
Dally News at 30,000.000 , and $5,000,000
would not buy the Telegraph , it is said.
It may bo questioned whether Now Yorker
or any other city in this country has any
$5,000,000 nowtpapcra , but thcro are
several in the United States valued at
over $1,000.000.

that our now military division comman

Ho hnd been some tlmo before the pub

for him , and several virulent sheets much
again&t him , and eo , judging by the ac
counts , I had conceived him to bo of
largo elzo and rough appeirance. The
actual man was oalto dilioicnt not larg
er than McClell.m at the tlmo rather thin
lu flesh and very pnlo in complexion , and
noticeably self-contained and retiring.
Without rising , ho extended hia hand

briefly that ft gave him pleasure to meet
mo. Ho then psrmtttea mo ta continue
the conversation.
Gn , Hooker's staff oilicer came with
the tender of the canvayanco and the
offer of hospitality. The quick reply ,
made with quiet firmness , at the time
astonished me : "If Gen. Hooker wishes ,
to sco mo ho will find mo on this train. " j
I hsrdly need eay that Hooker soon pre
sented himself and ofljred thls ojurteales
in peraon to his new commander.
Hooker was , t.ill , of full build , ruddy ,
handsome , then In the very prime of hla
manhood. I wondered at the contrast
between the two men , and pondered upon
the raanccr of the r meeting. Grant
evidently took this first occasion to assert
himself. Ho never left the necessity for
gaining a proper ascendency ever sub-
otdltiftto gone rile where It was likely to
ba questioned to a second interflow
Yut no manifested only n quiet iirmneea.
Gen. Grant and I shared a common ,
wall tint between us. Ho had n hurnpr-
am expression which I noticed as his eye °
fell upon a liquor ilAok hanging against
the tent within "Ihat ilitk Is not mine , " P
I quickly a ld. "It was hf , hero by an w

sitting together in an upper room when
Gon. Sherman arrived , having left his
marching column back at Bridgeport.
Ho came baundlng In after his usual
buoyant manner. Gen. Grant , whoso
boirliiR toward Sherman differed from
that with other officers , brlnp free , aftec-
tlonato and good humored , greeted him
most cordially. Ho immediately , after
the "flow are yon , Sherman ? " and the
reply , "Thank you , as well aa on bo ox *

como cigar. This Sherman proceeded to
light , but without stopping his ready

Grant arrested his attention by aomo
apt romartc , and then said ; "Pako the
chair of honor , Sherman,1' , Indicating a
rocker with high back.
"Tho chair of honor ? Oh , no ; that
belongs to you , general. "
Grant , not a whit abashed by this
compliment , saldt "I don't forgot ,
Shcrmau , to glvo proper respect to
age. "
"Woll , then , if you put it on that
ground , I must accept. "
That night I had the opportunity of
hearing the projected campaigns dlscmscd

but evinced much previous thought.
Graut said Sherman would "bono" ' ( I. o. ,
study hard his campaigns from morning
to night on his lurao. Gen. Thomas
furnished them the ammunition of

the surrounding mountainous regions of
East Tonnestoj and Northern Georgia
Gen. Grint appeared ID listen Trlth

a pointed remark. Thomas was like the

Thn 23d of November following the
