The people of the South are more
Jirectlv interested in the postotilce
and internal revenue departments
of the government than anything
else. In the former they simply
aak that goad, efficient men be ap
pointed to office who will see that
the mails are bandied correctly and
expeditiously, instead of being
made a matter of convenience. In
the latter they want men who will
faithfully execute the law, bring the
guilty to punishment, but not use
their office for tne purpose of pe
cuniary gain and political persecu
tion, by arresting innocent men
upon trumped up charges. In
other words, the people of the
South are more interested in hav
ing good government than that
professional politicians should be
rewarded with fat salaried offices.
The monometalists are very fond
of calling the standard silver dol-
lor “a fraudulent coin,” when in
taat, if there is any fraud, it at
taches to the gold dollar, as
evinced by the following statement
of facts made by the Columbus
Times: “From 1760 to 1873 the
silver in a silver dollar was wort.li
more, as a marketable value, than
the gold in a gold dollar. In 1703
upon the passage of the original
coinage act, the “Spanish milled
dollar,” 412$ grains of fine silver,
was made the unit of value in our
money. Every bond or other
promise to pay issued by the gov
eminent up to 1873, was based on
and guaged by that measure. IIo
then, can it be in the nature of
fraud to insist that the unit be re
tained until all debts it measures
arc paid? Thera was no growl that
the gold dollar was “a fraud,”
though its market value never
equalled that of the silver dollar,
for more than one hundred years,
the two circulating together in
every coinage of civilized men.”
•.'0!ltiKE8S10?liL EXTRAVAUASCE.
One of the periodical diversions
of the two houses of Congress is
to denounce alleged extravagance
in the different executive depart
ments of the Government, and the
various buiesus in these depart
ments are explored by Senators
and Representatives in search of
material of which to make speeches
in favor of economy in the admin
istration of the Government. Some
of the department officers think
Congress might find opportunities
for retrenchment in the use of
public money nearer home. They
assert that the number of clerks
and employes of the two houses is
much larger than necessary, while
their ealaries are greater than those
of officers who do similar work in
the departments.
Clerks employed by the Senate
and House receive from $2,000 to
$3,000 a year; messengers from
$1,440 to $1,800; laborers from
$720 to $1,000 and pages $2 30 per
lay. As the long session of Con
gress rarely lasts more than seven
months and the short session is
limited to three months, most of
the employes are required to work
only ten months in two years. Yet
in addition to their regular salaries
the employes receive each year, by
vote of Congress, one month's
extra pay. The capitol policemen,
who receive $1,100 a year, are in
eluded in this generous provision
fer extra pay, as are all the
officers of the two houses, from
the $6,100 Secretary of the Sen
ate and the $5,100 Clerk of
the House down to the pages
The item for extra month's pay
last year amounted to $74,527 Of
this amount the Senate benettcia
ries received $25,919 and $38,608
went to the House employes. As
the number of employes was in
creased at the last session and sala
ries raised in several instances tlie
extra pay this year will be nearly
$100,000.

As to official changes in Wash*
Ington a correspondent of the Xew
Orleans Picayune says: “A few
nominations may be sent in during
the present week, but there will be
little or nothing done in the way
of making changes until the Senate
shall have closed ils sessions. At
that time the policy of the Presi
dent will be developed. There is
ground for the belief that the Presi
dent will take the view that it is
necessary in order to carry out the
policy of the reform and purifica
tion of the public service to make
a number of changes in tne impor
tant offices. The State of Virginia
will tie among the first to be con
sidered. The question of confirm
ation of these appointments in the
places of parties to be removed is
an important one. Judge Seney,a
Congressman of Ohio, in an inter
view just made public,expresses the
opinion that the President lias the
power ot removal any time under
the law. He assumes the case
where the President removes a
Republican postmaster and ap
points Mr. Brown, a Democrat,and
the Senate refuses to confiim
Brown. In this ease lie holds that
the original incumbent is not re
stored, and that Brown remains
until the Senate confirms a succes-
cessor. The construction of the
’.aw upon this subject is one of the
greatest importance; upon it the
whole vigor nnu efficiency of the
executive power depends.”
Au exchange calls attention to
the fact that every bushel of corn
a cotton farmer buys is loaded with
a charge of from fifteen to twenty-
five cents railroad freight,and that
it must be paid with cotton money,
when the cotton was in most cases
raised at a loss, and concludes that
the advice of the press to “plant
more corn" should be more gener
ally followed.
