CttJUfOtm D. B.! FREEMAN. Editor! and Proprietor. Saturday, March 24 1877. THE TIMES. Georgia has six ex-Governors still living. The Postmaster-General has thirteen children. What a bunch of Koys. The Senate adjourned sine die last Saturday. St. Patrick’s day was generally hon ored in the cities. Ex-Governor Emory Washburne, of Massachusetts, is dead. An extensive premium list is being prepared for the State Fair at Atlanta next fall. The Chronicle k Sentinel and the Constitutionalist, of Augusta, have been consolidated, and now appear as the Chronicle & Constitutionalist. William R. Price, Grant’s door keeper for eight years, has been made Executive Clerk as the Price of his devotion. An exchange says Grant drops into Willard’s occasionally to take an ob servation. Never heard it called by that name before. The enormous number of 400,000 pilgrims is expected in Rome on the occasion of the Episcopal Jubilee of Pope Pius. Ninety thousand will go from France alone. Enoch Thomason has been sentenced by the Supreme Court of Tennessee to be hanged at Columbia, April 27th, for murder and robbery ol Rufus C. Jack son, last year. A woman in Oshkosh giound nearly half of a shirt through a clothes wrin* ger last Monday before discovering that her baby’was in the shiit. It was an awful strain on the wringer. Mrs. Hayes, it is stated, has consci* entious scruples about driving on Sun day, and therefore walks to church, upon which the is a regular Sabbath attendant. Thus, on Sunday last, she and the President walked to church. Southwest Texas is filled with a flour ishing German population. The in habitants of the State have doubled their numbers since 1870 ; they now amount to 2,000,000, and if the census were taken, they would he entitled to an increase of ten votes iu the Eleeto ral College. Over nine hundred horses, six hun dred and forty-three asses and thirty five mules were eaten in France last year. The first horse-butchery was es tablished in 1866, and the consumption of this savory meat has increased year ly. The healthy carcass is worth 840. The “Thieves’ Own Association” is the name of anew Society in New Orleans, which is composed entirely of colored females. The object of the society is to hire out as servants and 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 to vote an indefinite lease of absence to the old man. Moral: If you don’t want to be missed when you go away, leave a pretty Miss in your place. Two girls at Otto, Woodbury county, lowa, scared up a deer while walking along the road, which, in its dight, be came entangled in a stout wire-fence. While one of the girls stood guard over the animal the other went to a house near by and borrowed a revol ver, with which they dispatched the prisoner. Six school ma’ams of Central New York have recently started for Buenos Ayres, South America. Thoy each got SSOO in gold for the expenses of their passage, etc., and a salary of 82,- 400 in gold per annum for five years. At the expiration they are to get a six months’ leave of absence and 8500 in gold for the exp nses of the trip to this country and return. A couple in Franklin county, Ten nessee, are the parents of twenty-two children, nineteen of whom went at the same time to the same school. Their dinner vas carried to them by a negro hoy in a large basket, on a mule. One of the nineteen has represented Frank lin county in the Legislature, and an* other one has represented Jackson couDty. Alabama, once in the Legisla ture. A whole family were burned to death at Butte City, Cul., on the morning of March 6th. A daughter of H. B. Blodgett, a prominent citizen of the county, married to A. Liversage, of Sacramento, came up with her three children to spend the winter with hex brother, a single man. At five o’clock in the morning the house took fire, and Mrs. Liversage, in attempting to s-ve her children, was so badly burned as to die in a few hours. One of the 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. Bland, of Missouri, and John Randolph Tucker, of Virginia. The latter is one of the most brilliant lawyers and ora* tors of the South. 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. Is it possible, that one wHI be so foolish as to suffer from catarrh, cold in the head, bad smells in Dose and throat, when by this new antiseptic principle, Dr J. H. McLean’s catarrh snuff, you can be cured. Trial boxes, by mail, only fifty cents. Dr. J. H. McLean, 314 Chestnut, St. Louis, Mo. Astronomers have discovered, with® in the past few weeks, that a dreadful conflagration has been going on in the beautiful constellation of the Swan.— Some mighty sun has undoubtedly been destroyed, alongside of which our earth would look like a boy's marble. The distance is calculated about 300,000,- 090,000,000,0000,—0r it may only be 300,000,000,000,000,-but it is no greater than the difference between Duryea’a Satin Gloss Starch and Dur yea’s Improved Corn Starch, and all similar preparations offered by other manufacturers. They have distanced all competitors, carried off the great emdals at the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia. Their starches are the best in the -yorld. Always ask your grocer for Duryea’s Satin Glos3 Starch tor laundry purposes, and Duryea's Im* proved Corn Starch for food.-mar3'tf gMi'crtisnucuts. Commissioners Notice.
