Americus Recorder. W. L, ol.KSS.MKH. Kdltor. ~~Oaiclal Own or Sumter County. OBrlal Own of Webster County. THURSDAY. MARCH 1». ’N*. 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. A CARD.

This great remedy was discovered by a missionan in Roalb America. Hand a aelf-eddreaiK d envelope to the Rev. Joaupa T. Innan, OkMtn D. S*w York (Mr 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.
