The C. R. C.

Hon. Eugene Pnngle carne down from Jack80n on Fridiy afternoon last, in response to the invitation of the Executive Committeo of the Centenmal Reform Club, and made a speech at the Court House in the evening, discussing at length and in a candid, argumentativo, and logical manner the issues of the camjmign. Recogniziug the absolute need of reform in all departments of the govemment, ie saw no hopo of reform from the party in power. This had induced him, as a Republicau, to give his support to Tilden and Hèndricka. Had Bristow been nominated at Ciucinnati he should have given him his vote, but Eayes he regarded as the mau selected by Conkliug, Cameron, and Morton, and his administration would be raanaged by the "Ring" soliticians, the first term of Hayes being a third term of Grantism. Mr. Pringle presented in concise and clear terms the enormous mcrease in the regular expenses of the governmeut, giving the figures from official sources. Se pointed out the need of economy, and the direction from which it must come : a reduc;ion of the number of officers and a decrease in salaries. He criticised Hayes' letter of acceptance, especially the paragraph in reference a civil service retorm. His questions as to when Zack Chandler, Simon Cameron, Roscoe Conkling, Oliver P. Morton, or Henry Waldron, had found the recommendation of their friends ior appointment to office " au abla burden ana an unwarrantaDle uissnarge of their legitímate duties ?" were both pertinent and pointed. His review of the position of Cari Schurz was telling; in fact the whole speech was sound and couvincing. It was Iistened to by a large audiénce, ind at the conclusión three rousing cheers were given tor Tilden, Hendricks and Reform. Aecordiug to the Ann Arbor Regvster the official records of that city, including deeds of real estáte, bonds of oöiceis, releases of right of way for streets, etc, are all carefully filed by beiug tumbled promiscuously into old boxes and barrels and stored in the thïrd story of a hotel, so that a man can readily lay his hand on any desired paper after a search of a week or two. We can appreciate the city fathers' motives in hiring a hotel in order not to soü that pretty court-house, but why they should go the expense oí gettiug old boxes and barrels in which to file away in a niethodisal and fire-proof manuer such rubbish as deeds and mortgages passes comprehension. Cïems of consistency they are, shouting " retrenchment" and " reform " atter squandering the people's money ou old barrels for the city recorder's offi-hotel, as they have done. - Detroit Post. The Post is evidently hard up tor political Capital, but has mistaken the scent. lts sneers about " gems of consistency," " retrenchment," " reform," etc., are hits at its frieuds - the Republicana- if at any body. Be it known to the Post that f our years out of ñve, f rom ite incorporatiou to now, this city has been Republicau and has had a Rupubhcan Council. And to-day Mayor and Council are Republican. Hit 'em again Mr. Post. The Post also ought to know that " that pretty court-house " doesn't belong to the city, that the city has no right to rooms or offices in it, and besides that the city papers are just as safe in the "hotel" as they would be m that coui t-house. Again, the Post ought to know that the city rents no office or store rooms in the hotel. It gives the Recorder $300 a year and he furnishes his own office ; the treasurer Í100 a year and he furnishes his own office, &c. Now sneer at " economy " and your f riends again if you choose.
