The Mobile Register aays: The Presi dent haa begun the good work of tnrnlng the Mahone officeholder* out in Virginia. We hope to see the whole of them go. II they are not 'offensive partisans’ there are Doley Is oangeroue. (?ucl\ a situation as tliat which pres ents iteelf to-day, in connection with the civil service was doubtless never before known in this • country. The Republicans in office are kept|there by Democrats out of respect for an alleged understanding with Independent Re publicans. And yet if the office holders aforesaid hate and despise any ono worse than they do a Democrat, it is an Independent Republican. The sentiment that keeps Re publicans in office is un sound and unsafe. It gives the enemy support while he prepares for battle, t accomplishes nothing that can bene- tlie country. The rascalities of these same office-holders was what, through public opinion, forced a change of par ties. The country granted a change of parties in order to secure a change of men and methods. The incoming par ty attempts a change of methods without a change of men. It poses as wiser than the sentiment that gave it a commission. What would be thought of the gardener who refused to destroy the cutworms that fed upon his plants, but lived in the hope that the cutworms would reform and choose another diet? It is said that changes are being made as fiat as possible. It may be so. We know, though, that here in Geor. Ida, South Carolina, Alabama and Florida are hundreds of notorious Re publican tools who shonld be ent off in one day. And yet the party haa been three months in power. In this State the delay may work a deep injury to the party. It gives the political hybrids who loaf at Washington with Senatorial commissions in their pock ets a chance to claim the aid and alle giance of a vast office-holding element to the detriment of regular Democrats and the damage of honest methods. The delay is enabling certain keen leaders to buildup a coalition tbnt may be stronger than the Democratic party in Georgia itself. We doubt not that the same condition of affairsexists, and will result in like evils in adjoining States. So far then from helping Democracy in this section of the South, the delibe ration of the President is acting as a disintegrating influence, and building up Con. Brice, o; Lima, Ohio, is now the latest sensation. He msds $5,000.0(0 in five years building railroads, it is said; bnt people don't make that much money In build ing railroads. Perhaps Mr. Brice bss been wrecking roads. a counter force. There are men in Washington who will deny this in the presence of the Chief Executive, and there are men there who will affirm it, and what is more, prove it. A rHKEKOLOQicAL crank was quickly vindicated In New Mexico recently. He examined a bead and said it belonged to a man of bad character. Then the owner of the bead ahot at him several times and the lecturer adjourned. Historians are now Iry.ug to proTe that Bull Run was not a defeat for tb* Union troope, but merely a stampede. The Hex’, thing on hand Is an attempt toprovethat there was no war between the States, but merely a misunderstanding. Tna Denver News stater a grest truth alter this lasblon; “He (Cleveland) waa elected as a Democrat by Democrats who believed that only Democrats shonld bold office under a Democratic administration, and he knows that he mmt please ble own party or hie administration will be t flat failure." A ttex Indian may conduct himself with moderate propriety, but Itlakea a dead Indian lo 1.0 truly aud aurety good.-Picayune. The same may b« altered end profitably applied to officeholders.

Mosbt say) now he was offered tbs po sition of commander-in-chief in the Chi nese army, and was to have appointed SCO ex-Confedt rale* if he bad accepted. Very likely Mosby real'red that it would be hard to find 300 Confederates who had not had enough fighting to last them during the balance of this century. A Washington correspondent sijsl CoL John a. Mosby, in a letter of recent date from Hong Kong, inform! a friend In Virginia that ha bis recently declined the offer of a commission of high rank in the Chinese army, which carried with It the authority to select 100 men for Impor tant places nnder him from among hts American military acquaintances. Moaby givei ao his reason for declining tb* offer that there was nothing In the quarrel bei tween China and France which made war at that time most Imminent, calculated to inspire an American with any feeling one nay or the other. fircAKiNo of Bam Jones, the 8L Louis Itepub lean says: “The Georgia wonder lias no (rill on bi* religion, He belongs to the church militant and Sgbta with bis coat off.

A Washington special to the Times- Democrat aays: "An Interesting question in regard to United 8tates bonds has been decided by Judge Durham, Pint Comp troller of the Currency. Mr. Freunit citizen of Belgians, recently presented for redemption three mutilated coupon bond* ot <1 COO each, which be laid he had found in Brneic's in 1874.

He further bolds in regard to mntL A Curious Custom. Seven Hungarian*, four men, two women and a four-year aid child, were sitting at nip per last evening, when the child suddenly be gan to inecie. Straightway all knives and lorka were hell In mld-alr, all eyes were turn. on the afflicted one, all tonguca poured forth a torrent ol blessing*. Tho child met* five time*, and five times did her compan ion* Implore the Almighty to bless her. When the child's nostrils resumed their normal con dition the knlvt* end fork* were laid on the table, the chorus ol benedictions c.su', n« zt act ot the drama wa* eagerly awaited, was t novel and curious one. The child folded her hands In her lap and, fixing her black eyea on each of hor compan ion* In turn, said slowly and earnestly: “1 thank you, mother; l thank yon,aunt; I thank you, Louts; I thank you, Geyta; I thank you, Paul; I thank you, Stctano.” / Those addressed smiled aud nodded, and led peculiarly proud that the little one had been Imbued with religion at such an early age. As proof ot their approbation, they plied cakes end other dainties on her plate, end cautioned her never to forget (tod's blessing on any one who might hap pen to sneeie in her pretence, end to be eura to return thanks to all who asked dod’s blessing on henelt. Should the fall to do to, wts lntlmttcd that death by choking woold probably bo the result ol it eh thrcklng In- gratitude. The child listened to tho good ad vice, end then began making havoc among her ctkea. Feeling somewhat curious u to the origin ol this custom, a Times reporter sought enlight enment from Mrs. Josef Ktryl, a well-informed Hungarian. I do not know the origin,” said she, "but believe 11 le as old u the Hungarian nation Itself. Other nations are accustomed to ask benedictions on whomsoever they may hear aneesa, but, except to the esse of our people, I do not believe 'bey get toy thinks lor their tronbit. It is a unique custom, end U Is as pr. valent today among all cases* ol the pe, pi* In nungsry as It wu hundreds otytare ego."-PiUaburf limes. [This custom of saying "God bless you" dates back to the meeting plague which attacked the south of Europe in the year 558. Persons in perfect health would be seized with fit of sneezing and die in a short time, The plague was regarded as the work of evil spirits, which were supposed to flee when the Almighty’s blessing was invoked, aa the devil ii supposed to disappear at the sign of the cross. Very likely the habit of thanking the invoker of divine blessings waa merely the natural outgrowth of this custom, A person violently engaged in sneez ing must necessarily depend upon some one else to do the praying. What more natural that he should thank hia rescuer.

No one pretends that the Exposition was a paying enterprise, so far aa im mediate money dividends are con cerned. It remains to be seen whether or not the immense sums expended will bring proportionately large returns at a later day. We believe they will. To ua it seems that in its most im portant feature the Exposition has been more than successful. The ex- hibits far exceded the most san guine expectations, both In quantity and diversity, and furnished the people with studies that cannot fail to be val ualile. It moreover brought into the most thoroughly Southern of all our cities an immense representative class from distant and hostile sections, that seized the opportunity to gather infor mation lelative to our people and re sources. The whole country cannot but feel the good effect of such proper acquaintance. The reasons given for the failure, financially, are perhaps good, as far as they go, but there are others cer tainly strong. The exposition was not held near the centre nor in the midst of even a dense population of commercial people, for though many manufacturing and business enter prises have dotted the South, the sec tion is yet essentially agricultural. This is the main cause oiiiie financial failure, from our standpoint. Again, a city that strives to become a metropolis, a city representing a Southern outlet and water channels, waa chosen, mid to the sectional jealousy mentioneiWy the Journal of Commerce was added tho listlessness, If not jealousy, of Northern and Eastern communities. Beyond demonstrating the existence of. these causes and the uselessness of relying upon a distant patronage to carry on a home enterprise, the finan cial failure of the Exposition teaches nothing. But, at any cost, the South has been benefited largely. If nothing more than the mere arousing of commercial and manufacturing interest had been secured, the few million dollars were well spent. Reorganized. In the Cartersville Courant of late date, appears the following announce ment of Dr, W. H.
