FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 8, 1878.
The Foderal office-holders in Cali
fornia arc assessed ten per cent, of
(heir salaries to raise a eyrruption
fund with Which to carry the State
for the Radicals. The severity of the
the assessment shows Unit the Radi
cal leaders regard tho Stal e as a very
hard one for them to carry. Last
winter, when the Democrats in Con
gress proposed to reduce the salaries
of these same Federal officials ten
per cent., the Republicans contend
ed that it could not be done without
injustice to ilie officers and detriment
to the service. This shows the dif
ference, in their estimation, between
saving the money for the Federal
treasury and using it to carry elec
tions. And this is the kind of “civ
il service reform” they promise the
country under Hayes’ administra
tion.
A UEMAIiUAIIU; MEMORY.
Gov. Hayes Las the most remark
able memory that lias turned up in
this country lor years, lie distinct
ly remembers the name of that S4OO
deserter who was shot; he distinctly
remembers the names of the compa
ny and regiment to which he belong
ed; ho distinctly remembers every
particular of ilie crime l'or which ho
was shot, together with the name of
the officer who was ordered to shoot
him, and the year and the month and
the day ot the week in and on which
ho was shot; Jjc distinctly remem
bers chaplain who
1:C
that the not to the
poor old mo’hcr of the dead man,
hut to tho Government, and that the
chaplain must turn it over to him—
and there, at that moment of all mo
ments, that memory, up to that mo
ment as stong and rigorous as a
young male, astd as retentive, if pos
sible, as Rutherford vras and is oi the
taxes due the State Government,
suddenly breaks down, collapses, van
ishes, and, like the baseless fabric of
a vision, leaves not a rack behind.
For the very life of him tie can’t re
member whether ho took the money
or not, or it he did, what tie did with
it. Ilang such a memory. Like that
deserter, it ought to be shot, and no
doubt it would ho if Rutherford
thought lie could realize S4OO by the
transaction. Rutherford’s story is as
thin as a pancake “trompt onto by an
elephant." — Courier-Journal.
Petersburg (Va.) Post: It was
at the Old Market-House yesterday
morning. Uncle Cutloe Perkinson,
ol Prince George, and Ctcsar Sloto,
of Dinwiddle, were discussing be
tween slices of succulent water-mel
on, the political issues of the day.
Said Undo Cull'eo: “I ain’t griwne
ter vote dat Radical ticket any more."
“Why?" said Cmsar. “Well,” said
the old man, “I drenmpt I was in
hell last night." “Did you see any
Radical office-holders there?” “Yes
I did," said the old fellow, “hell was
full of ’em, and every office holder
had a nigger holding ’tween him and
de fire.”

THE REALITY OF SLAVERY.
Judge Black in his open letter to
Garfield, says: “ You have conse
quently made ours the eorruptest gov
ernment on this side of Constantino
ple. Perhaps jou will say this is a
mere general assertion. Rut 1 am
ready to maintain the truth of it
against all opposers. You may take
the rwttenost monarchy in Europe,
go over its history for a hundred years
and produce the worst act you can
find of fraudulent spoliation upon its
people, and if I do not show some
thing worse committed hero under
the auspices ot the party now in pow
er, 1 will give up the case. But it
is useless to cite the evidence of indi
ridi als upon great public facts that
arc lclt, and seen and known of all
men. Nothing ever was more noto
rious than tho general disregard ot all*
sound principle by this administra
tion. No people on earth arc now
suffering so much from extravagant
taxation, and nowhere docs so small
a portion of the taxes go to legiti
mate public purpose, or so much to
the rulers themselves and the rings
they Choose to favor. Industry is
crushed as it never was|bcfore. La
bor no longer works for itself since
all and more than all of its surplus
profits ere exacted and consumed by
the hangers on of the government.
Now, although wo call ourselves free
men and freed men, wc are to all in
tents and purpose slaves, so long as
you continue to make us hand over
to you the earnings of our labor; for
the essence of slavery consists in
compelling one man, or class of men,
to work for another without equiva
lent. We are determined to relieve
ourselves from this intolerable bond
age as lar as we can legally and
penceublv, and if you do not help us,
you must at least cease to shock us
by pretending to be an anti-slavery
man upon principle.’'
It now appears the original circu
lar of the Attorney General was pre
pared m haste, although there was a
pretence that it. was under thonght
lil consideration lbr sever ai weeks.
In the first placo, the Attorney Gen
eral did not know of the importance
of section 5,522 of the revised stat.
utes, which makes every person,
whether with or without any author
ity, power or process; or pretended
authority, jpower or process, respon
sible for interference at elections.
When the General of the army, how
ever, issued general order No 9G, and
incorporated this section in lus order,
Judge Taft thought it was time to
call the attention of United States
Marshals to it. So ho lias issued an
amended order, with the above sec
tion included in the references, and
sent the same to his subordinates
throughout the country. —Savannah
Nexus.
A simple and inexpensive method
of preventing the plaguo of mosqui
toes is to pour a small quantity of
kerosene oil into the pools, sinks and
other receptacles of stagnant water
in which tho insects breed. The oil
forms a film upon the surface of the
water, through which neither the
new-born mosquito can emerge into
tho air nor the adult female penetrate
to lay its eggs. The result is that
tho mosquitoes in existence die out,
and, their place not being filled, there
is an end of them. The oil -in time
evaporates, and must be renewed oc
casionally.
Danbmy New=: General Butler is a

A reporter of the Atlanta Consti
tution has interviewed a Major of the
United States army and obtained his
views upon the infamous “circular"
issued by tho Attorney General. Tho
oflieer condemns the document in un
measured terms, and say it is “a vir
tual repeal of the bill of rights and
the Constitution of the country. Tho
soldiers abhor tLc work which they
arc expected to perform, and will do
their disagreeable duty with great ro.
luetauce. Oeu. ShefJuan’s subse
quent order is looked upon as a “ray
of hope,” and will allow officers a
.measure of discretion in obeying "the
reckless orders of obscure and irre
sponsible Deputy Marshals." lie
says the sentiments of the officers on
this subject are shared by the soldiers
under their command, though they
represent all shades of polities.
There is every reason to believe that
this officer in his conversation voiced
the sentiment of the army. Soldiers
are generally gentlemen, and have
no relish Ibiqthe dirty work of the de
tective or for those who wish them
to do it. Wo regret, however, that
the Constitution published the con
versation. The Republicans will fer
ret out who the officer was and we ven
ture tlie assertion that as soon as dis
covered he will be suspended from
duty or sent to the Black Hills.
Very Favorable Reports as to
our Friends in Indiana.
Special Dispatch to the World
Washington, September 24. —The
advices received here from Indiana
as to the October result continue to
be nearly all one way; and by that it
is meant that the Republicans arc
giving up the State. Ex-United
Statrs Treasury New has written here
in the same strain of the letter from
Babcock, Chairman of the Republi
can State' Committee of Illinois, pub
lished in yesterday '&-World, showing
that the prospects are adverse to
the Republicans, and asking that all
the Indiana clerks be sent home at
once. From the Democratic side the
estimates ot William’s majority for
-Governor run all the way from 10,000
to 15,000.
When a guu bursts in the Turkish
Camp the damage is not confined to
its immediate vicinity. An accident

immediately went off and murdered

Secretary Robeson’s pi irate secre

Under this head tho New Orleans
Picayune of a recent date has the
following. The compliment is as
handsome as it is Well deserved, and
shows that the course end character
of our delegation in the House is
quite as well known and appreciated
away from, as they arc at home.
Says the Picayune:
Tho telegraph informs us that all
the old members of Congress lioiu
Georgia have been renominated, and
as a Democratic nomination in Geor
gia signifies an election, their return
to the Congressional halls is assured.
The selections were decidedly wise,
and evince an absence of much par
ty contention in the Democratic
ranks. No State can claim an emi
nence over Georgia in the intellectu
al character of its Congressmen, and
it is a matter of congratulation that
the old delegation has been renomi
nated,
The mistake is not unfrequerttly
made of changing Congressmen arbi
trarily at the end of each term. Of
course a public position cannot be an
inheritance in this country, but tho
idea of rotation in office, though it
may be commendable as applied to
executive departments, must not be
interpreted too severely as applied
to the legislative and judicial. Fre
quently Congressmen are changed
just at the moment when they me
capable of performing sonic service.
An apprenticeship of a year or two
is necessary to an intelligent under
standing of legislative business, and
often reputations are wreekod by a
stupid belief that a local public ora
tor should immediately distinguish
himself on his election to a legislative
portion.
The Indianapolis Sentinel says the
most expensive man employed at the Re
publican State Central Committee
Rooms of Indiana receives a salary of
thirtvtliree dollars per day, and that i;
is not paid by the committee but comes
from the Government under the diplo
matic appropriation bill.
Doun Piatt has brought out a charge
that one of the Grant family servants
has for several years been drawing sev
enty-five dollars a mouth as a “clerk,’,
her name having been put upon the
government pay rolls. The Courier-
Journal thinks that eminent Spaniard
ought to let the present administration
alone. If Mr. Hayes should be e'Ated,
big “reform-frora-within" items will be
ao plentiful that such little matters as
putting a servant ou tho government
rolls will no longer attract his atten
tion.
Kentucky editors have com
menced to quote Scripture in favor
