THE PUBLIC BUSINESS ’NEGLECTED TO
ALMW GOVEfiNMENT EMPI.oVeES TO
SCATTER OVER THE COUNTRY ELEC
TIONEERING.
Frcm Our Regular Correspondent.]
Washington, Oct. 28,187 C.
All government business is at a
practical standstill just now. The
male employees have gone home to
vote and all are lookips |o?ward to
the 7th of November, 4itlu fear, and
trembling, and vfaniftgs'oi heart.
Some of them have hope, but none
have sonfl<jence. Tire political ba
foiniter fbrthe fait week has indica
ted a steady rise for Tilden. The
heavy political strategy of the Re
publican managers In sending the
army to South Carolina has proved
worse than abortive, lor it has re
vealedand directed the eyes of the
country to'the real condition as seen
at Oainbey; and the stupkl canard
about the depression of American
securities abroad, from the probabil-
Hjrfffl etectioft, has had no
efreet‘s on the a? rtute, do iimpressible
moneyed classes whom it was de
signed to influence. On the other
band, Qovej-qer ifildeg.’s opportupe
letter in reference to Southern
claims has completely scotched the
bald misrepresentations of ten thou
sand oratorical demagogues and
nearly half as many newspapers.
For tffo successive days astonished
Washington lias seen the phenomenal
absence from the administration or
gan (the National Republican) of half
a page of bloody carnage in Louis
iana and South Carolina. It has been
so long Che cask <m. at this paper to
make the Mississippi river overflow
with African blood, that these omis
sions from its daily programme have
created a vague fear among the Dem
ocrats that the paper is preparing to
come over to their side.
I said that government clerks had
gone,homadq vpte; many Kaye been
granted leave of absence With pay for
forty days, while others have been
absent for weeks, and even months,
actively engaged in campaign work
4TO* Havfs and Wheeler. - Meanwhile j
business is neglected, and the Com
mfseiouer of Padmis print* in red ink
on ppnt to applicants for
patents, the “falsehood that', “owing
to the reduction of force made by the
lait oases canhot be acted
on as promptly as heretofore”! We
could direct the attention of the
Commissioner of Patents to another
cause of delay in acting on applica
tions for patents. It has been ob
served that the employees in the
Patent Office and the assistant
examiners, anticipating a change
in the administration, and their
possible removal from office, are
busy during office hours preparing
digests of patents, and making lists
of rejected cases, in order that they
may establish themselves as patent
attorneys, in cose they should bu re
moved from office. xi if ~ j< >
Ifl close States, like Ohio and Wis
consin, the Government employees
whd have gone home to vole’, will in
all probability decide the Electoral
vote. 'The vote of the Ohio office
holders in the recent election, if sub-
tracted frotn the Republican majori
ty, would have elected the Demo
cratic candidates. The uumber of
Ohioans who have been domiciled in
Washington through the patronage
of Chase, Cox, Delano, the Sher
mans and Grant, Is very large; larg
er, I think, than from any other
State.
■ We are sensitive, as wo stooukl be,
on all subjects /elating to‘t,he right
of suffrage; bnt there seems to be
very l|ttle propriety iu permitting
thbse who have made their homes
here for years, to grfto distant States
to vote. It would certainly bo* step
in the direction of olvil service re
form to disfranchise, during tenure
of office, all Government employees.
We can eksily see the absurdity of
permitting the. workmen in a not
ion fttotory to choose their 'own
directoVd or T° vote, stamp, and
contribute their money for these
directors only who are iu fa
vor of keeping them in place. It
is plain that this systein,would be de
moralizing to both directors and em
ployees. that all considerations of
the good of the concern would be ru
inously sunk in the selfishness of of
fice-getting and office-bolding, and
that the directors would be disposed
to retain inefficient and dishonest
employees, to whom they have been
indebted for support in the past, and
from whom they expert siqqjort in
the future. This is the odndßion and
relation "of the Republican party and
its 100,000 office-holders. It is what
Senator Morton calls the best civil ser
vice in the world. It is the civil ser
vice that. Hayes gun no more reform,
than he can effect the ‘purgation and
regeneration of Chandler and Ben But
ler, without the influence of the Ho
ly Ghost and of Are. The only way
to reform it, is to “reforin it altogeth
er,” root it out, exterminate it.

A Manganese Mine in Bartow that
Beats Gold.— ln Bartow county, near
Cartersville, Mr. W. P. Ward, the
son-in-iaw of Judge Erskine, of this
city/ is running a ferro-mangaaesc
mine, witich is the ouly one of the
kind in the United States. On one
side of his furnaee is the Iron ore; on
the other a bed of manganese, the
richest and longest and purest, us
Dr. Little that oau be fouud on
this continent. Were he to mine
the ltfiu ore ah’riff, ft viould pay him
S2O per ton. He adds sixty per cent,
of the mangauese to it, aud sells all
that he can make at SIOO a ton in
gold. The combination of mangau
ese with iron, gives the metal used
in Bessemer steel, and is exceedingly
valuable. It bns been made hereto
fore almost exclusively In France,
where it readily commanded S4OO per
ton. Manganese is exceedingly
rare, usually, -but in Bartow
■county it. is found in profuseness,
and in- remarkable purity. Mr.
Miles Dobbins, of this city, has an
wiparantjy exhaust less bed of it,
Thtre is ft- not profit of over SIOO peT
tod on/tvery t of it that is made.
Dr. Little informs us that there is
enough manganese and iron iu Bar
tow county to manufacture fifty tons
per day of'thls preoious ferro-manga
nese for fifty years. As it pays SIOO
per ton profit, fifty tons per day
would give $5,000 a day profit. This
would be one million and a half dol
iars of profit in one year, or over
ninety millions in all that lies buried
as clear profit In tho oue article of
maDganese in Bartow county. Mr.
Ward is making only about one ton
per day at present, but he will en-.
Targe his facilities soon,anil the man
ufacture of this rare and precious
metal may be expected to grow very
rapidly us soon as its existence has
bedtime widely known.— Atlanta Cod
stitution.
An accessory cause enhancing the
distress to business is to be fouud in
the systematic and insupportable
misgovermuentitmwsed op the States
of the South. Besides trie ordinary
effects ot ignorant and dishonest ad
ministration, it has inflicted upon
them enorrqous issues ot fraudulent
bonds, tbe scanty avails pf which
were wasted or stolmi, andfohe exist
ence of which is a public discredit,
tending to bankruptcy or repudia
tion. Taxes, generally oppressive,
in some instances, have confiscated
the entire income of property, and
totally destroyed its marketable
value. It is impossible that these
evils should not reaet upon the pros
perity of the whole country,— Sarnuel
J. Tildetfs Letter of Acceptance.
Governor Curtin I*eep Into Futurity.
Reading, Pa., Eagle -- Question
Who do you think will be the next
Speaker pro tem. in place of Mr.
Kerr, deceased?
Answer—l think Mr. Clyraer, of
Pennsylvania, is the man. He hits
the tact, tbe ability and the know
ledge to fill the position, as Henry
Glay did of old. He is the most pop
ular man in the House, and is per
sonally liked by the Republicans.
Q.t-Who will be the next Speaker.
A.—ln case the Democrats have
the miijority, Mr. Clymer will be the
Speaker; but if the RepTibliCatis have
the majorily, EMeueHale,of Maine,
will be the Daah.
Q.—What do you think of theGoop
er vote? *
A.—ln Miami, Muskrntfurh, Adams
and Scioto, in Ohio, a large number
of Votes will be polled for Mr. Coop
er. He will get some votes fcom Fair
field, Licking and Athens county.
Iu Indiana county he will get at
least 1,890 votes. In Vigo county
and in Allen county his friends claim
over 800 votes. In Davies county the
greenback votes will go bodily for
Hayes, but id Floyd, Harrison and
the border eouoties along the Ohio
river the Cooper vote will cast al
most as a unit for Tilden.
Q —Do I understand you to mean
that Hayes will be elected?
A.—No, sir, not at all. I t hink he
will be beaten. Tilden will carry
New York, Connecticut, New Jersey
and Indiana, and these States, added
to the Southern Vote, will make him
President. I regard Pennsylvania as
a doubtful State, with the probabili
ties in favor of tbe Democrats.

By sun rise on Thursday morning,
tiie road leading from here to Moutl
cello was lined with carriages, bug-,
gies and hobhemen, B*u Hill and
General Baker,in charge of the dele
gation from -lloatioello, lead the
way. Arriving at tire place of the
rendezvous, four miles this side of
Moutioello. three hundred Georgians
were found drawn upon either side
of the road. A short delay ensued la
order to allow the Thotiittsville Cor
net band to come up and take the
lead. With uoddiug plumes and a
hurst of music they worn engineered
to tho froht by tot Stephens, when
the line was put in motion aud moved
briskly forward. When within a
couple of miles of Montioello, an im
mense throng of mounted men, head
ed by the Chief Marshal, Dr. Palmer,
was met. The hearty cheers whidh
greeted "Georgia,” showed how
fully the people of Florida appreob
uted the turn out from tho Empire
State.
The procession moved through the
principal streets, bringing up at tho
stand near tho depot. R. H. M.
Davidson led off, followed by Gen.
Baker, of Ala. He in turn wus fol
lowed by Ben Hill. Senator Jones
closed the speaking.
We should like to give an outline
of the brilliant orations, but it is
simply impossible. Davidson made
a telling speech ; Gen. Baker fairly
enchained the vast throng by his
matchless eloquence. His effort was
highly eulogized by Mr. Hill in his
opening sentence, and universally
conceded by all to have been one
of the most eloquent appeals of the
campaign. We can only say of Ben.
Hill* effort that it was masterly and
convincing beyond portrayal. It
was a vote-making speech, and it
made them by tho hundreds. Such
was tho universal opinion of every
one who listened to Mr. Hill ana
watched the vast throng who hung
with breathless suspense upon his
impassioned and thundering sen
tences.- Ben Hill is a whale, and if
there nre anylahger llsh, he is that.
The barbecue was well prepared-.
An abundance of well cooked provi
sions was spread out, and to which
the hungry crowd applied themselves
vigorously after tho shaking was
over.
The crowd was estimated all the
way from four to six thousand. There
were we think not less than four
thousand persons, including hun
dreds of colored men. We may men
tion in this connection, thht there
were a large number of colored Dem
ocrats in the procession from
Thomas. It was a grand day for our
sister State. Radicalism received
terrible aud telling blows. The rot
ten carcass reeled and staggered un
der the fearful shocks. The efforts
of the day will be felt, and strongly
felt, on tbe 7th day of November.

accustomed to hear of houses and lives being
destroyed in tbe wildest profusion by mere
boiler explosions, and where dven the trial

that we ean hardly credit the fact of an ex

so tondected that not a pane of glass was

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Wo, the delegate of tUo Democratic party of
tho Uhltvd Htatco iu National Convention assem
bled, do hereby declare tho administration of
the Federal Government to bo in urgent need o t
immediate lltlorm; do hereby enjoin upon the
nomineea of thin Convention, and of tho Demo
cratic pfirty iu each State, a zealous effort aud
co-operation to this end; and do hereby appeal to
our fellow-citizena of every former political
connection, to undertake with ue this first aud
iuoat pressing prtriotloduty.
For the Democracy of tho whole country, wo
do here reaffirm our ftlth in the permaneuce of
tho Federal Unlpu, our devotion to the Constitu
tion of the United Stutee with its amendments
universally accepted as a final bo moment of the
controversies timt engendered civil wur, and do
here record our ateadihat confidence in the per
petuity of Uepublicau Helf-Government.
In absolute acquiescencelu tbe will of the ma
jority—ilio vitil principle of the republic; in Hie
supremacy of the civil over the military authority;
in the lot l Heooralion of Church end State, lor
the sale alike of civil and religious Ireedorii;
in the equa’lty of at! citizens before just luws of
tae\* owa enrolment;in the liberty of individ
ual conduct, unvexed by sumptuary laws; lu Ike
l. itb lu edUcatlon of the rising generation, tbi t
ihey may prenerve, eojoy, aud transmit those
best conditions of ham*a happiness aud hope, we
behold tho noblest pt‘odrcls of a hundred years
of chauseful history; but while upholding the
bond of our Uu’ba aud great Charter ol these
oarrlghls. it behooves a iree people to practise
also that eternal vgllam-e which is the price of
Liberty.
Kkfokm is necessary to rebuild and establish
in the hearts of the whole people, tbe Union,
eleven year* ago happily rescu and from the
danger of a Secession ot btutes; but now to be
saved from a corrupt Centralism wnteh, ai'icr
inflicting upon ton Slates the i.-apecity ol carpet
bag tyrannies, has honeycombed the offices of
tbe Federal Government itself with incapacity,
waste ami fraud; infected SUtes und municipal
ities with the contagion of misrule, and locked
fast the prosperity of an industrious people iu
tue paralysis of‘Hard Times.’
Reform is necessary to establish a sound cur
rency, restore the public credit, and maintain
the national honor.
We denounce the failure for all these eleven
years of peace to make good the promise of tbe
legal-tender notes, which are a changing stand
ard of value in tho hands of the people, and the
non-payment of which is a disregard of the
plighted faith of the nui .on.
We denounce the improvidence which iu
eleven years of peace has taken lrom tbe people
in Federal taxes thirteen times the whole amount
of the legal-tender notes and squandered four
times their sum in useless expeuse without ac
cumulating any reserve for their redemption.
We denounce the flujneial imbecility and im
morality of that party which, during eleven
years of peace, has made no advance toward
resumption, no preparation lor resumption, but
instead has obatructed resumption, by wasting
our resources aud exhausting all our surplus
income;aud, while annually protessing to in
tend a speedy return to specie payments, has
annually enacted fresh hindrances thereto. As
such a hindrance we denounce the ResumpH.oc
day clause of the act of 1876 aud demand its re
peal.
We demand a judicious system of preparation
by public economies, by official retrenchments,
and by wise finance, which shall enable ifie
nation soon to assure the whole World of iis
perfect ability aud its perfect readiness to meet
any of its promises at tho call of the creditor en
titled to payment.
We believe such a system, well devised, and,
above all, entrutsed to competent hands foi
execution, croating at no time an artificial scar
city of currency and at no time alarming the
public mind into a withdrawal of that / asi,e>
machinery of credit by which 95 per cent, of all
business transactions are performed --a sv*;em
open, public, aud inspiring general confidence,
would from the day of fts adoption bring healing
on its wings to all our horrassed industries, set
in motion the wheels of commerce, manufac
tures, and the mechanic arts, restore employ
ment to labor, and renew iu all its natural
sources the prosperity of the people.
Kefoum is necessary in tbe sum and modes of
Federal Taxation, to the end that capital may
bo set free from distrust, and labor lightly bur
dened.
We denounce the present Tariff, levied upon
nearly 4,000 articles, as a masterpiece of injus
tice, in equality, aud false pretense. It yields a
dwindling, not a yearly rising revenue. It has
impoverished many industries to subsidize a
few. It prohibits imports that might purchase
th products of Americao labor. It has degraded
American commerce from the first to an inferior
rank on the high seas. It has cut down the
sales of American manufactures at home aud
abroad, aud depleted the returns of American
agriculture—an industry followed by half our
people. It costs the people five times more
thau it produces to the treasury, obstructs the
S recesses ol production, and wastes the fruits of
ibor. It promotes fraud, fosters smuggling,
enricUcs dishonest officials, andbanrnpts honest
merchants. We demand that all the Custom-
House taxation shall be only for Revenue.
Kefobm is necessary, iu the scale of Public
Expense—Federal, Btato and Municipal. Our
Federal taxatiou has swohm from 60 millions
gold, in 1860, to 450 millions currency, in IS7O,
our aggregate taxation from 154 millions gold in
1860, to 730 millions currency In 1870; or in one de
cade, from less than $5 per head to more than
$lB per head. Since the peace, the people have
paid to their tax gatherers more than thrice the
sum of the national debt, and mjre than twice
that sum for the Federal Government alone. We
demand 4 religious frugality in every depart
ment, and from every officer of the Government.
IiKFonM is necessary to put a stop to the
profligate wasto of publiq lands and their diver
sion from actual settlors by the party in power,
which has squandered 200 millions of acres upon
railroads alone, and out of more than thrice f bet
aggregate lias disposed of less than a sixth direct
ly to tillers of tbe soil.
Reform is necessary to corfWt tbe omissions
of a Republican Congress and tho errors of our
treaties and our diplomacy which have stripped
our feliow-cltizenH of foreign birth aud kindred
race recrossing tho Atlantic, of the shield of
American citizenship, and have exposed our
brethren of the Pacific coast to the inkmralons of
a race not sprung from the same great parent
stock, and in fact now by law denied citizenship
through naturalization.as being neither accus
tomed to the traditions of a progressive civiliza
tion nor exercised in liberty under equal laws.
We denounce the policy which thus discards Ihe
liberty-loving German aud tolerates the revival
of the coolie trade in Mongolian women Import
ed for immoral purposes, and Mongolian men
hired to perform servile labor contracts.
Reform Is necessary and cah never be effected
but by making it the controlling issue of the
elections, and lilting it above the two false issues
with which the office-holding class and the party
in power seek to smother it—
1. The false iastfe with which thfiy would en
kindle sectarian strife in respect to the public
schools, of which the establishment and support
belong exclusively to the several States, and
which the Democratic party has cherished lrom
their foundation, and is resolved to maintain
without prejudice or prelerence for any class,
sect or creed, and without largesses from the
Treasury to any.
2. The false issue by which they seek tb light
anew the dying embers of sectional hate between
kindred people once estranged, but now re
united iu ouo indivisible republic and a common
destiny.
Reform is necessary In the Civil Hervice. Ex
perience proves that efficient, economical con
duct of the governmental business is possible
if its civil service be subject to change a. every
election, be a prize fought for at the ballot-box,
be a brief reward of party zeal, Instead of posts of
honor assigned for proved competency, and held
for fidelity in the public employ; that the dis
pensing ofpatronage should neither be a tax up
on the time of our public men, nor the instru
ment of their ambition. Here again promises
falsified in the peffomnanoe attest that tbe party
in. power can work out no practical or salutary
ra foftn.
IiKFOBM is necessary even more in the higher
grades of tho public service. Presto* ut, Vice-
President, Judges, Senators, Representatives.
Cabinet officers, these and all others in authority
are the people’s servants. Their offices are not
a private perquisite; they are a public trust.
When the annals of this Republic show the dis
grace and censure of a Vice-Presideat; a Isle
Speaker of tho House of Representatives market
ing his rulings as a presiding officer; three Sen
ators profiting secretly by their votes 03 law-ma
kers; five chairmen oi the leading committees of
the House of Representatives exposed in jobbery;
a late Hecretary of the Treasury forcing buhmeos
tn the public accounts: a late Attortiey-Geneial '
misaooropriating public funds; a Secretary ot ,
the Navy enriched or enriching friends, by per I
c ntugos levied off the profits of contractors with
his department; au Embassador to Luglau t *en
sured in a dishonorable speculation; tbe PxVsi
deut’s Private Secretary bar ly fcai iug convic
tion upon trial tor guilty complicity in tratios
upon tho revcnue?a Secretary of War impeached
tor high crimes and misdemeanors—-the demon
stration is complete, that the first step iu Re
form must bo the peoplh'e: choice of honest
from another party, Ustj the ’disouse of one po-
infeet tho bVhly politic, *O4
lest by uiakiug no change pf men or parties ye
get no dfeffgu "f measure;! and no real R- form.
All these ttbuaes. wrongs aud crirn s, the pra-i
duct of.sixteen years’ ascendancy#! tfie Republi
can party, create a necessity for Refojm cotiiess
ed by Republican* themselves; but theirs .reform
ers are voted down in convention and dispjacki
from the Oaoinet The party’s mass'df honest
voters is powerless to resist the 80,000 pffic*-
holders, its leaders and guides.
Reform can only be had by, a peaoeml Civil
Revolution. We demand a chabge of system a
change of administration, a change of parties,
that we may have a chango of measure *> and of
men.
