'.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.

I L Wednesday, August 23,1876. 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. <' 'ITS* - 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. W. A.

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.

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.
