'.ineii ofiie s tire.not a private perquisite; they
are public trust.’’
Two evils the official service of the
Fcde ral govern i ut- ut.
One is the prevalent and demoralizing notion
that the public service exists not for the
business and benefit ot the whole people, but for
the interest of the office holders, who are ; n
truth but the servants of the people. Under
the influence of tiii* pernicious error public em
ployments have been multiplied ; I lie numbers
of those gathered into the ranks of office-hold
ers have been steadily increased beyond any
possible requirement of the public business,
while inefficiency, peculation, fraud, and mal
versation of the public funds,-from the high
places of power to the lowest, have overspread
the whole service like a leprosy.
The oilier evil is the organizatipn of the offi
cial class into a body of political mercenaries,
governing the caucuses and dictating the nom
inations of their party, and attempting to carry
the elections of the people -Joy undue
influence, and by immense corruption-funds
systematically collected from the salaries or fees
of office holders. The official class in other
countries, sometimes by its own weight and
sometimes in alliance with the army, lias been
able to rule the organized masses even under
the universal suffrage. Here it has already
grown into a-gSfcantic power capable of stifling
the inspirations of a sound public opinion, and
of resisting an easy change of administration,
until misgovernment becomes intolerable, and
public spirit has been stung to the pitch of a
civil revolution.
The first step in reform is the elevation of the
standard by which the appointing power sel cts
agents to execute official trusts. Next in im
portance is a conscientious fidelity in the exer
cise of authority to hold to account and displace
untrustworthy or incapable subordinates The
public interest in an honest, ski*lful performance
of official trust must not be sacrifu and to the
usufruct of the incumbents.
After the immediate steps, which will ensure
the exhibition of better examples, we may wise
ly go on to the abolition of unnecessary offices,
and, finally, to the patent, careful organization,
of a belter civil service system, under the ‘csts,
wherever practicable, of proved competency and
fidelity.
While much may be accomplished by these
methods, it might encourage delusive expecta
tions if 1 withheld here the expression of my
conviction that no reform of the civil service in
this country will bo complete and permanent
until its chief magistrate is constitutionally
disqualified for re election ; experience having
repeatedly exposed the futility of self-imposed
•slrictions by candidates or incumbents.—
Through this solemnity only can he be effectu
ally delivered from his greatest temptation to
misuse the power and patronage with which the
Executive is necessarily charged.
Educated in the belief that it is the first duly
of a citizen of the republic to take his fair allot
ment of care and trouble in public affairs, I have,
for forty yeofs, as a private citizen, fulfilled that
duty. Though occupied in an unusual degree
during all that period with the concerns of gov
ernment, I have never acquired the habit of
official life. When, a year and a half ago, I
entered upon my present trust, it was in order lo
consummate reforms to which I had already de
voted several of the best years of my life.
Knowing as I do, therefore, from fresh experi
ence, how great difference is between gliding
through an official routine and working out a
reform of systems in policies, it is impossible
for me to contemplate what needs to be done in
the federal administration without an anxious
sense of the difficulties of the undertaking. If
tnnmoned by the suffrages of my countrymen
to attempt this work, I shall endeavor with
God’s help, to be the efficient instrument of their
will. Samuel J. Tilde.v.

To those who Pail to get a Paper this "Week.
We have wool to sav to over half our patrons
this week which we do in all kindness, not
wishing tohurt the feelings of any. We have to
account for a short issue of this number,having
failed to receive paper in time for the issue,
and the cause of if is that we utterly failed to
collect money to buy paper from those owing
for subscriptions, and finally had to borrow the
money for the purpose—this in face of tho fact
that wc have OVER FIFTEEN HUNDRED
DOLLARS owing for subscriptions. We there
fore think it proper, as some have to tic missed
in mailing, to miss those who are to blame for
our condition. A large number who said they
could not pay us in money, proposed to pay in
provisions. But we have but one single instance
ot such payment to record. Knowing there are
many who could not pay cash without great in
convenience, wc proposed to receive pay in
-“'chips and whetstones” from them; but there
are many who could pay cash if they would,
but thinking the amount a small one they.have
deferred payment to “a more convenient season,”
and the result has aggregated the sum above
mentioned. We therefore appeal to them to
call on tiie publisher without delay and settle,
as the money is urgently required. Come
without delay, end if you have not the money,
say so like a man.
Cur issue next week and hereafter will be all
right, but we will not excuse delay in settling
on that account. Wo appeal to you; woicly
upon you. 2t.

YOffILHELP, BROTHER,
Providence permitting, we tiro soon to
have anew church edifice in Elberton.
It is mainly through the assiduous and
pomsotnt efforts of tho noble ladies com
posing tho Elberton Sewing Society
that this is to be accomplished. A few
of the male members of the church have
subscribed liberally, and, bo it gratefully
remembered, a few outsiders have done
likewise. The writer has ascertained
from relia! 1c authority that the amount
on-hand and to bo paid in will not be
sufficient to finish and furnish the house.
The character of clmrch buildings is
such that they should be the best in ail
the land. The nature and interests of
the cause merits this. The Bible, our
light and guide, teaches it. . The taber
nacle, built and used by the ancient Is
raelitos in accordance with the express
directions and commandment of the
Almighty, was a building of very su
perior structure. Indeed it was magniii
cent and elegant. It is computed that
the gold and silver used in e-veryway
amounted to about a million of dollars
according to the present value of geld
and silver coins. Avery pleasant and
refreshing fact connected with the build
ing of the tabernacle is the people, some
of them, had to be restrained in their
liberality. The temple built by Solomon
was of stupendous grandeur and mag
nificence and beaut)’. Its value was
prodigous. ’Tis true the biddings were
national, but still representative. They
are referred to to impress our minds
with the fact that church edifices ought
to be superior ; the best, as compared
with all others. We are enjoined to
honor the Lord with our substance and
the first-fruits of all our increase. The
annexed promise is, so shall thy barns
be filled with plenty and thy presses
burst out with new wine. If we honor
the Lord with the best and liberally
(otherwise it would not be honoring
Him), He will bless us abundantly with
material prosperity. Tho Lord’s house
ought to bo better than our dwellings.
It is a shame to our profession if they
are not. Besides being commodious
and imposing, and beautiful without,
they ought to be as comfortable and ele
gantly furnished within as our means
will possibly allow. We make these
things specialties in building and fur
nishing our own dwellings. Shall wc
honor ourselves more than God ? (Ought
the place of His habitation be inferior
to ours). Shall our parlors and recep
tion rooms bo more comfortably and
elegantly fitted up, and a good impres
sion in favor of tho truth on all. more
adorned and beautified than the house
of God ? Very truly we ought to make
the house of God comfortable and pleas
ant and elegant, for the entertainment
of His people and others who may attend,
and in honor of His name and goodness,
and for his reception and presence, when
lie may design to visit us. Besides
what a hallowed and elevating influence
would such a temple have on the minds
of tho young.
The few members who have subscribed
would call on those who have not. to
help. It may bo enough for some to
know that their assistance is needed for
them to respond The hope is cherished
that they will contribute liberally. Will
not those who have declined to give
dismiss the theoretical. It is disloyal,
brother. It is your duty to give, am!
your privilege! Consider the innumera
ble blessings you have received and en
joyed. Think of the many benefactions
you enjoy to-day. To w'thliold from
God or His cause in any particular,
which is the same, is a good way, at least
an effectual way, of bringing about Lard
times or keeping times hard. To give
liberally to worthy objects is to act
wisely. In so doing wo will be blessed
in soul and body, spiritually and in our
temporal matters.

HAHT COUNTY DEPARTMENT.
BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
HARTWELL, ::::::::::: Aug. 21,1870.
Valedictory.
Tho main object for which we have
been striving for the past twelvemonths,
in keeping up the local column of this
paper devoted to tho interests of Hart
county, lias been to secure the establish
ment of a paper in our own county.
We thought that by running a column
devoted to Hart county news in The
Gazette, that while it would be a benefit
to our community, both at home ftncl
abroad, it would show to the v>-orld, and
newspaper men, that a newspaper was
needed here and would be jf|Stained by
our people. Our mission therefore is
ended, and while we part with many re
grets with the readers of The Gazette,
from henceforth our infineneo shall be
directed towards sustaining and estab
lishing our county paper.
Tiie Gazette has as subscribers many
of our friends in Elbert county, who
might wish a continuance of our column;
to those we say that they can subscribe to
the Hart county news, or The Gazeete
can continue to give Hart county infor
mation by culling from that paper.
In last weeks issue we announced that
all subscribers to The Gazette in this
county, who wished to do so could dis
continue the same by paying up all ar
rearages to that paper and could sub
scribe for the Hart county Sun.
By making this announcement we wish
to bo understood that we do not wish to
say one word or do anything against
The Gazette or her interests, and hope
that she may retain every subscriber
that she has in this county ; but from
the fact, that many have subscribed to
The Gazette merely for its Hart county
news, and will be desirous of making
the change to their own paper.
We tlioreforo in all kindness bid our
readers an affectionate farewell, and
shall always hold in pleasant remom
bronca our year’s connection with The
Gazette. m C. W. Seidel.

Gentlemen—My amly object in giving you this
testimonial is to spread valuable information.
Having been badly afflicted with Salt Rheum,
and tho whole surface of my skin being covered
with and eruptions, many of which
caused me great pain and annoyance, and know
ing it to be a blood disease, I took manj- ot the
advertised blood preparations, among which was
any quaptity of Sarsaparilla, without obtaining
any benefit until I commenced taking the Vege
tine, and before I had completed the first bottle
I saw that I h*d j£ot the right medicine. Conse
quently, I followed on with it until I had taken
seven bottles, when I was pronounced a well
man, and my skin is smooth and entirely free
from pimples and eruptions. I have never en
joyed so good health before, and 1 attribute it
all to the use Vegetine.; To benefit those afflict
ed with Rhematism, I will make mention also of
tho Vcgetine’s wonderful power of curing mo of
this accute complain of which I have suffered so
intensely.
