FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1875.
WASHINGTON CLERKSHIPS.
, For the benefit of misguided young
men who may be contemplating seek
ing or anxious to obtain a place under
Government in Washington, we clip
the following from a paper published
there. We earnestly commend it to the
Serious attention of all who, like the
young man alluded to in the clipping,
want to “get a place” in Washington :
The Congressman’s bane is the young
man who “wants a position.” Hunting
Governmental situations for needy women
and indolent middle-aged heads of families
is a dreary task enough. But it has its
bright sides in the fact that it furnishes
bread and butter to those who might Other-
Wise be sore pressed for even the bread
llone For the insane young mao, how
ever, whose only ambition is a routine job,
where the work is moderate and anxiety a
minimum, the Congressman or Cabinet
official cherishes but scanty regard. The
i desired situation may, indeed, be looked up.
Home influence has its weight with those
authorities in Washington, and when a
shallow youth comes here with his valise
crammed with indorsements from local
dignitaries elsewhere, the person to whom
he is consigned generally gets him “a
place.” But it is the ruin of the youth. I
wish I could exhibit the average Depart
ment male, the one who has settled
down to the listless round of a Government
nobody, to the young man of other locali
ties who aspire -to similar enervation. He
is a business dummy and a social corpse.
By the time he has dawled through a dozen
years as a department serviter he is devoid
of manliness and as incapable of acting and
thinking for himself as a saw-dust-stuffed
doll.
Let me show how men of brains and
energy view this business. Several years
ago a slab-sided, awkward printer boy from
Maine found his way to Washington in
search of “an easy place,” Tom Ewing
was then Secretary of the Interior. He was
also uncle of our gawky place-hunter. To
him the youngster naturally applied for
assistance in getting the desired situation.
This was the encouraging answer he re
ceived from Ewing :
“ I will not get you a place in any of the
departments. Moreover, if you And a place
and go to work, I will use all my influence
to have you dismissed. I want you to go
out of Washington. I am not going to have
you made into a limp and helpless nonen
tity, if I can help it. Go anywhere else—go
to the devil, if you like—you shan’t stay in
Washington.”
This inspirited counsel drove the print t
youth back to Maine again. Had Ewing
found the desired “place,” he would, to
day, be tying tape around bundled docu
ments, or sticking official stamps on some
body else’s letters, in one of the depart
ments, an inert human routine machine.
But the uncle’s sensible brusqueness was
the nephew’s salvation. The name of the
discouraged young applicant was James G.
Blaine, present Speaker of the House oi
Representatives.
The dark picture given above of the
Department clerk is a true one, and it
should be seen by every young man
with common sense and an ambition to
be something more in life than “dumb,
driven cattle.” To such we say, better
the plough, the hoe, the maul and
wedge, than be a mere Department
drudge.
The majority of young men applying
to Congressmen for such positions are
usually those who desire to take life
easy. In the South, these applicants
are admirably adapted, in the main, to
making cotton, planting corn, or en
gagement in other honorable em
ployments ; but they prefer to loi
ter on street corners or at cross
road precincts, drinking whiskey and
damning lazy negroes. If every man
in the South would go to work
the country would be spared much
of the misfortune which springs
from poverty and crime—the offspring
of indolence. The reason why the in
dustrious few have to work so hard is
because of the multitudinous drones
in the hive. We do not expect every
man who asks for a clerkship and does
not get it to turn out as prominent a
character as James G. Blaine; but if
every robust young fellow who longs
for a clerkship in Washington or else
where, could only be induced to till the
soil, learn a trade, earn an honest live
lihood as a farmer or mechanic, hard
times would soon give way to a brighter
and more prosperous epoch.
COTTON MANUFACTURE.
The Atlanta Herald publishes an ex
tract from a letter of ex-Gov. Charles
Jackson, of Providence, Rhode Island,
which will be interesting to all who
have faith in the South as a manufac
turer of cotton as well as a producer.
Mr. Jackson closes his missive thus :
I was much instructed by your views of
the cotton crop and the present status of
that great product. The impression incur
market is that prices will not rule lower
this season. I think your State has great
advantages over ours for the manufacture
of staple cotton goods. With abundance
of native white labor, mild 'climate, inex
haustible water-power, cheapcotton at
your door, easy access to the markets, and
with your State government disposed to
patronize and encourage the manufacture
rather than to cripple and repress it, I
sometimes regret that my lot has been
cast so far away from such desirable facil
ities. I have thought more of it than ever
this intensely cold weather. I verily be
lieve that with my present experience, if I
had my life to live over, I should settle
somewhere in your State. I have always
liked Georgia as being a leading member
of the “ Old Thirteen” in the South, and as
being bounded, in part, by the same Atlan
tic that washes the shore of my native
State.
If the South would exhibit a greater
disposition to encourage foreign capi
tal and protect it when obtained, her
lot would be much improved. But so
long as she is regarded, whether justly
or unjustly, as a repudiator of obliga
tions and a tamperer with the laws
regulating money and vested rights,
the day is still distant when her mani
fest advantages will be fully improved
and generously made use of by outside
aid.
Jones. —Treating of Presidential
nominations, the New York corres
pondent of the Charleston News and
Courier says:
It has been suggested that as somebody
has got to be beaten, a man who has never
expected to be President and who has a
plenty of money can be put up, and Nevada
Jones is named in this relation. All this,
however, is contingent upon Boss Gbant’s
willingness to step down and out.
As Nevada Jones was born in Wales,
and therefore not eligible to the Presi
dency, that suggestion evidently came
from a badly posted person.
MR. JONES’ CASE.
We favor the recommendation of the
Committee, that the Governor appoint
a Financial Agent to look after the af
fairs of the State Treasury, and that
Mr. Jones be compelled to resign.
That the Treasurer is a dishonest
man we see no evidence to force belief,
but that he is an incompetent man for
his high position, there can be no ques
tion, if the Committee report is at all
reliable.
If articles of impeachment are
brought against this gentleman, and
the Legislative session procrastinated
to consider them, heaven only knows
how long the thing will last, and, at
seven dollars a head and mileage, the
Lord only knows how tremendous the
expense. The cost to the State by such
protracted session will be as great as
Jones’ short account.
We hope some plan will be adopted
looking to the retirement of Mr. Jones,
without detriment to his case, and that
the Legislature will adjourn immedi
ately after making such arrangements
for the good of the State. If the Gen
eral Assembly should remain in solemn
conclave until every member shall vent
his eloquence, such a determination
would be as great a calamity as Mr.
Jones’ deficiency. For the sake of
everybody and every interest, let the
Legislature do something, and do it
quickly.
The best plan that occurs to us is
this : Let a committee of three from
the House and two from the Senate be
appointed to sift the matter to the bot
tom and report to the next Legislature.
Mr. Jones can meet this committee and
defend himself at his leisure. Mean
while, a competent man can be ap
pointed temporarily in the Treasurer’s
place. If justice can be done at all, it
can be done in this way. The idea of
the General Assembly en masse, sitting
as a grand inquest, for an indefinite
period, without necessity for the same,
is something horrible to contemplate
and not to be patiently endured.
Mr. Stephens. —We find the follow
ing paragraph in a letter from Wash
ington to the Columbus Times:
I found him (Mr. Stephens) very feeble.
He spends his days on a lounge in a room
adjacent to his bed-room. It is a sad sight
to see this intellectual giant stricken by his
physical ailments. He never expects to
leave his room again. He grows eloquent
in his denunciation of the Louisiana out
rage. He proposed at one time to embody
his views in a written protest, to be read by
his friend, Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania,
but being a member of the House, it was
abandoned as out of the rule. He says
Grant is spiteful and small in his recent
policy, under which he has opposed his
will—the will of one man—against the
expressed sentiment of the entire nation.
We have had, recent advices from
Mr. Stephens, none of which indicate
that he is as sick or feeble as above
represented.

ATLANTA.
Legislative Proceedings. A Long
and Expensive Extra Session Pro
mised. Augusta Excepted From the
Law Regulating Taxes. Preven
tion of Cruelty to Animals. Seven
Dollars a Day and Mileage Tri
umphant.
Atlanta,. February 24, 1875.
In theSeoate, this morning, on a mo
tion to adopt the House resolution in
structing the Finance Committee to
proceed to the investigation of the
Treasury, Mr. Kibbee said the facts
reported in the morning interview with
the Treasurer were incorrect. The
committee had done full justice to the
Treasurer. If the Treasurer had com
plied with the law he would have been
ready any hour to make a full and
satisfactory showing. The Treasurer
has been guilty of carelessness, negli
gence and looseness, which rendered
him unqualified for the position of
Treasurer. He neglected to report to
the Legislature the temporary loan of
§150,000, and had not sought relief
from loss by the failure of John King
in the proper manner. He had report
ed a million dollars in the Treasury
when not a third of that amount was
there, and almost caused the Legisla
ture to make a sweeping reduction of
taxation on that account, which would
have left the State without the means
to meet obligations. He made no ob
jection to the resolution, which was
adopted.
The committee has been investiga
ting all day, and continue to-night, and
will probably report to-morrow. What
will be the action of the Legislature, it
is impossible to say. It still seems re
solved to adjust the matter before leav
ing. The committee distinctly state
they make no attack on Jones’ integ
rity, yet some seem still to think if
there is no default, it is unnecessary to
remove him.
The Le/rislature will be prolonged
until such a time as to complete busi
ness—the House by a vote of 136 yeas
to 8 nays, and the Senate by 29 yeas to
9 nays.
The following House bills passed the
Senate:
To make the County Court in Han
cock a Court of Record ; to amend the
act creating a County County in Rich
mond ; to authorize the Trustees of
the Macon Free School to dispose of
certain property; to empower the
Mayor of Macon to try cases of
vagrancy ; to amend the charter of the
Macon Bank and Trust Company ; to
amend the act creating a County
Court in Wilkes; to provide pay for
jurors in Houston ; to authorize clerks
of the Superior Court to collect ad
vance fees for recording deeds; to
amend the act creating a Board of
Commissioners for Bibb ; to incorpo
rate the Enterprise Bank of Macon ; to
prevent cruelty to animals.
The following Senate bills passed
the House : To except Augusta from
the provisions of the law regulating
the assessment of municipal taxes ; to
regulate weighing cotton and other
produce; to protect the people of
Georgia from the payment of past due
bonds; to provide for the continuance
or discontinuance of the County Court
of McDuffie.
The following bills were lost: To
authorize the Governor to issue bonds
to keep up and satisfy obligations of
the State arising from endorsements
of bonds of insolvent railroads, and
authorize the issue of 8 per cent, cur
rency bonds, to retire gold bonds.
The Education Committee offered a
resolution relative to the report of the
Commission of Unification of Colleges,
expressing gratification at the zeal
manifested for education and desiring
the commission to continue, but stat
ing the Legislature had no authority
to recognize them formally.
The House took took an idea that
the resolution provided for a continua
tion of the commission, and tabled the
resolution. Members of the committee
stated the unanimous conviction of the
committee to be that the scheme was
impracticable and visionary.
Mr. Walsh offered a resolution re
questing the Governor to furnish in
formation relative to the Nutting bonds,
and what amount had been realized
from their sale ; also, information rel
ative to §152,000 past due bonds paid
twice. Agreed to.
The House has been discussing the
resi lution of the committee on Macon
and Brunswick bonds. The first reso
lution recognizing the first issue of
§1,950,000 was agreed to. The second
resolution declaring the supplemental
issue of §600,000 null and void, pro
vokes discussion. All agree, except as
to the proviso, which provides that all
who invested in the faith of the resolu
tion of 1872, declaring this issue valid,
shall be reimbursed. This meets with
strong opposition. Discussion is pro
ceeding to-night.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Another Dead Lock in the House—
The Dilatory Rule a Failure.
Washington, February 25.— Senate—
Edmunds, from the Judiciary Commit
tee, reported favorable on the bills to
remove the political disabilities of
Edward Booker, John Withers and
Beverly Kennan, of Virginia ; Robert
W. Johnson, of Arkansas; James W.
Quarles, of Tennessee ; and James M.
Hawes, of KentuckjL Placed on the
calendar.
The House spent an all-night session
in a fruitless attempt, on the part of
the Republicans, to get up the Caucus
Force bill.
Mr. Edmunds said that if the Senate
saw fit to postpone the regular order it
would relieve him from all respon
sibility for the Civil Rights bill.
The bill restoring certain soldiers of
the war of 1812 to pensions was lost—
-29 to 39.
Morton’s bill for counting the Presi
dential vote and contingent questions
with several amendments, was offered
and adopted.
There was a sewen hours’ debate in
the Senate to-day on Morton’s bill to
regulate the count of votes for Presi
dent and Vice-President, and to-night
it passed by a vote of 28 to 20.
The Civil Rights bill was then taken
up as it came from the House, and an
agreement made to vote on it Satur
day, at 2 p. m.
Although, by the new rule, dilatory
motions are forbidden, a means was
discovered and put in practice by the
Democrats to circumvent that rule and
make it entirely futile. The plan was
for the Democrats to refrain
from voting on the main proposition,
and as the Republicans could not keep
together a majority of the House from
their own ranks the vote would reveal
the absence of a quorum. Then the
tedious process of a call of the House
would be proceeded with, and when it
was finished and the vote came to be
taken again on the main proposition
the Democrats would resort to the
same tactics, refrain from voting, re
veal the absence of a quorum and
necessitate anew call, and in this cir
cle the House has been going round
and round from last evening till noon
to-day.
House. —lt was not until 4 o’clock to
day that the Caucus Force bill was
finally launched on the turbid and
stormy waters of the House. The en
tire time between 8 o’clock last eve
ning and 4 o’clock this afternoon had
been consumed by the parliamentary
manoeuvres of the Democrats, notwith
standing the new rule against dilatory
motions, and it was only when the Re
publicans got an absolute major
ity of the House in their own
ranks that they were masters of the
situation. It was then too late to go
on with the discussion in the demoral
ized physical condition of the mem
bers, after a continuous session of
twenty-nin§ hours, and the Republi
cans themselves decided on an adjourn
ment. What new tactics the Demo
crats may have in reserve for to-mor
row remains to be seen, but at last
they have it in their power to consume
a large part of the day in having the
journal of the last day’s session read.
The Judiciary Committee reported a
bill relieving the political disabilities
of Edward Booker, John Withers, Bev
erly Kennan, of Virginia; R. W. John
son, of Arkansas ; Jos. W. Jawellas, of
of Tennessee, and Joseph M. Hays, of
Kentucky.
Chander moved an evening session
for the consideration of the Steamboat
bill, but there was objection.

Ex-Gov. Parsons, whose name for the
position of United States District
Judge for Alabama, has been before
the Senate all the Winter, has been
withdrawn by the President, and the
name of John Bruce sent in for the po
sition. Mr. Bruce is said to be a citi
zen of Wisconsin, and his nomination
does not give satisfaction to Mr. Spen
cer.
Various Items.
Nominations—Geo. Worthington, of

States vs. the Home Insurance Compa

French. Complications—The Repub
lic Recognized.
Paris, February 25. — The amend
ment to the Senate bill that seventy
five Senators be chosen from a double
list of nominations by MacMahon was
defeated. Having disposed of the
Senate, the Assembly took up the or
ganization of public powers, which
passed to a second reading. Amend
ments, moved by the Right and Bona
partists, were all rejected. The -clause
implying recognition of the Republic,
which, on January 30th, had one ma

SPECIAL NOTICES.
CONSUMPTIVES, TAKE NOTICE.
EVERY MOMENT OF DELAY MAKES
your cure more hopeless, and much depends
on the judicious choice of a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of Dr. Schenck’s
Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for consumption,
far exceeds all that can be brought to support
the pretensions of any other medicine. See
Dr. Schenck’s Almanac, containing the certi
ficates of many persons of the highest respec
tability, who have been restored to health,
after being pronounced incurable by physi
cians of acknowledged ability. Schonck’s
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as
these evidences will show; but the cure is
often promoted by the employment of two
other remedies which Dr. Schenck provides
for the purpose. These additional remedies
are Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills. By the timely use of these medi
cines, according to directions. Dr. Schenck
certifies that most any case of Consumption
may be cured.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his princi
pal office, corner Sixth and Arch streets,
Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters
for advioe must be addressed.
