dred and forty-three asses and thirty
five mules were eaten in France last

ly. The healthy carcass is worth 840.
The “Thieves’ Own Association” is

disappear suddenly with such “uncon**
sidered trifles” as they conveniently
can.
Dom Pedro’s daughter opened the
Brazilian Parliament in a speech so
pertinent and pointed and pretty and
pithy that the younger members wanted

want to be missed when you go away,
leave a pretty Miss in your place.
Two girls at Otto, Woodbury county,

in the morning the house took fire,

children was taken out dead, and the
r, her two were fatally burned.
John Randolph, of Roanoke, had two
nephews in the late House of Repre
sentatives. These are Richard P.

The Louisville Courier-Journal says:
Mr. Blaine speaks of the carpet-bag
gers and scalawags as “the remnant of
brave men who have borne the flag
and brunt of the battle in the South
ern States against persecutions unpar
alleled in this country,” knowing, at
the same time, that the “remnant” in
question is largely made up of the dir*
tiesfc and most abandoned set of thieves
that ever burglarized a stable or plun
dered a hen-roost—thieves who, within
the last ten years, have stolen enough
money from the people of every State
that is cursed by their presence to run
the government of that State for the
next quarter of a century.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Civil Service—Defects in
the Competitive Examination
System—The Senate—Appoint.
M E NTS Fr ED DoUGLASS—REMOV
AL of Troops from the South,
and its Probable Results—Ere.
Washington, D. C. Mar. 19, 1877.
Editor Calhoun limes :
If the expected changes in our Bys
tem of civil service shall secure half
the good results that Messrs. Evarts
and Schurz promise, do one will find
fault with them, but so far as we have
been informed little more is contempla
ted at present than a revival of the dis
carded “competitive examination” ol
Grant’s term. That “system” may be
readily understood from a brief expla
nation. Each Department hid its
Board of Examiners who prepared
questions to be answered by applicants
for places, or for promotion. Beyond
the answering of a certain percentage
of the questions, a good moral charac
ter was required. The “system” was
defective, primarily, in that the selec
tion of questions invariably gave a
school boy fresh from his books, an ad*
vantage over experienced businessmen,
while the need of the Department was
for business men and not for school
boys. Treasurer Spinner could not
have passed successfully the examina
tion required for the admission of a
81,200 clerk into his bureau. It may
be said that this was the fault of those
who prepared the questions, but the
sufficient answer to that is that those
gentlemen had not only ability and ex*
perience themselves, but they were as
sisted by able men—teachers, philoso
phers, business men —from all sections.
The fault is in the system itself, or in
the national impatience which will
uot wait one or two generations for
any good the system may develop.
Another ground of complaint was
that iu some mysterious manner a por
tion of the applicants were supplied in
advance with the questions they were
to answer. Indeed one man establish
ed himself as a “trainer” for Treasury
applicants, and his pupils were so gen
erally successful and his cause of in*
struction was kept in such accord with
the charging questions of the Exami
ners, that there was no doubt collusion
between them and him Then the
“moral character” requirement was too
often waived if the applicant had
great political or other influence. Then
with like influence a “temporary” plaoe
could always- be found in some Depart
ment until the defeated candidate had
prepared himself to try again.
In short, the “competitive examina
ion” was always a failure and finally
became a scandal. If Messrs, Hayes,
Evarts and Schurz can give us nothing
better than this, it will be well to turn
cut all the Bureau officers and clerks
now in the Departments, and trust to
luck infilling their places. The writer
is neither an office holder nor an office
seexer, but still writes from abundant
knowledge.
The Seuate adjourned Saturday, leav
ing a few nominations of the Acting
President —chiefly in the South—un
confirmed. Fred Douglass, certainly
the foremost negro of bis day, and rep
resenting the better class of them, was
confirmed as Marshal of this District
Democrats and Republicans alike wisko
ed to see some recognition of Mr. Doug
lass, but there seemed to be a general
agreement that his selection lor this
particular office was unfortunate. His
confirms ion could not have been se
cured without Democratic votes.
The President has promised to issue
an order on Wednesday for the removal
of United States troops from Louisiana
and South Carolina, so that the people
of those States may conduct their State
affairs as thoy choose. In other words,
he will no lonirer prevent them from
having a republican form of govern
ment. Considering the inevitable op
position in his own party, Mr. Hayes
shows consiierable plick in taking this
course —all the more because an extra
session of Congress is unavoidable, and
any violence in South will enable
the Blaines of the two Houses to or
ganize a formidable opposition to him.
Conservative men in Louisiana and
South Carolina should see that the Rad
icals have as little material as possible
of that kind to work upon—that an
administration which seems willing to
benefit them is not weakened by lack
of torbearauee on their part.
Postmaster General Key writes as
follows concerning he Southern offices
in his gift. He will not inte fere with
those in the North :
“When a vacancy exists in any of
fice connected with this Department in
the Southern States, preference will be
given to < republican, all other thiugs
being equal. Rat should it be impos
sible to find a Republican who will be
satisfactory *0 a large majority of the
people, whose business is directly affec
ted by tbo appointment, or in case of a
contest over the office, then I shall not
hesitate to step aside and select a per
son who in my judgment will give sat*
isfaction to the business interests of the
community,”
Yours truly, Reno.

300,000,000,000,000,-but it is no
