be'the largest ever produced in this

Rev. Dr. VV. E. Munsey, a distin
guished Methodist clergyman, died at
Jonesboro, Tenn., on the 23d.
The idea on which Ilayes is working
to run the Republican party is thus
siattu by the New York Herald : “Ho
fully menus to cut) off the dog’s tail, but
he hates the thought of giving pain to
the animal,and he has accordingly been
all the summer cutting it off half an
inch at a time,and,when the dog growls
he pats him on the back and tells him
it is for his eventual good.”
For nine months Messrs Jim Dow
dle, Dud Taylor and Virg Stewart have
been queitly working up and trying to
catch some counterfeiters who have
been at work in Haralson and Folk
couutics and not until yesterday morning
were they fortunate enough to come up
with their birds. It seems they came
to this city a short time ago to push
their business and on Monday night th e
officers above named got'on their track
and just at daylight yesterday morning
they van on them in Forrestvilis. —
They captured, we learn, two men and
found on them $3 in counterfeit silver
and the moulds for .making all kinds
from a silver half to a niekle. The
moulds were nicely made of plaster of
Paris and some ol them seemed to have
been considerably used, while others
were perfectly new. — Ifomc Bulletin.
In Holyoke, Muss., on the 19th at
the llayes ratification meeting, Presi
dent J. H. See’ye of Amherst College
fpoke approvingly of Ilaye’s treatment
of the Southern question, and said:
‘‘On this question the Republican par
tv has made a prodigious mistake from
the end of the war. We carried on the
war on the ground that the South
ern States were an integral part ol the
Union. When the war closed we
abandoned this high plan lor exactly
the opposite ground. W e said these
States had committed suicide —the
States whose citizens we had been
fighting to prove the Union indivisible.
If we were right in treating the
Southern rebellion as a rebellnm, then
when the rebels were conquered their
States had as much right to representa
tion in the National Congress arid ail
the privileges of Government as ever.
Had this policy been taken we should
have escaped the blunders and crimes
which have made reconstruction pain
ful and perilous. We remanded these
States to a quasi-territorial condition,
and sent them military Governors. We
could hardly have devised a better way
to keep up hatred and increase hostili
ty.”

Hayes’ Civil Service Reform—
The Louisiana Senatorial
Question —Ingalls’ Silver Rill
—-and Minor Congressional
Matters.
Washington, D. C. Oct. 22.1877,
Editor Calhoun Timm :
In any company of persons —at a wed
ding, a hanging, or a surprise paity if
one individual om nonces to laugh and
laughs heartily and long most of the
others will do the same. So overpow..
ering is this inclination amon S P e ‘T' le
hat an othodox minister has been
mown to laugh, because others did
•bile a donation had possession of his
ouse and was impoverishing him. No
’oundings, however solemn or disus
jLODtIOIIf SftW
, terous, effect the crowd when ouee the
, example is set. This is partly because
1 we a-p by nature imitative creatures, so
! that we sometiues without thought and
! sometimes even against our will to do as
1 others do, and partly because we wish
! to be thought advised, as fully as our
' exemplars of anything around us which
deserves attention. Nor is this peculi
arity confined to laughter, or to any
other exhibition of feeling, nor yet en
-1 tirely to exhibitions of feeling or emo j
; lion. Our judgments and beliefs are
jso easily led astray. Witness the case
1 of Professor Scelye, of Massachusetts,
j who the other day made a long speech
approval of Hayes as a Reform Prr.sie
dent. Letting go by for the lime the
question whether Hayes is President at
all or not, I would like to know where
except in his task and that of his friends
there is any evidence of his desiring
any re from in the civil service or else*
where. He announced himself as a re
former, as the other man laughed, and
forthwith the party papers and the par
ty politicians announced that the Ad'
ministration was a reform Administra
tion. It is not anything of the kind in
fact. There is no reform in the trans
acti on of public business, no reform
and no improvement in the appoint"
merit to office, no tho.cugh investiga
tion of what is known to be ir. famous in
the Departments. Professor fceelye,
than whom there is no clearer headed
man in the crunl.y, generally, is simply
giving cut as facts what exist only in
words, words, words, that he has read
or heard. Manv othe.s, following him
will speak as he has spoken simply be u
euuse he has spoken. And it is not
likely that more than the thin pretence
of reform will exist uuder this
Administration. The Republican ma
jority in the Senate and the formidable
minoiiiy in the House are unquestiona
bly a honor at the White House, espe
cially since the Republican Senators
voted so compactly on questions relating
to the Louisiana Senators .Ft is odd tha
be a Republican harmony in the Sen -
ate should be disagreeable to be a Re
publican occupant of the Executive
Mansion, but it seems to be understood
that Mr. Hayes wished for so much
dissension among Republicans as would
have admitted Messrs. Spoffovd and
Eustis, Democrats, to seats in the Sen*
ate. The piobibilily now is, however,
that both these gent'emen will be de
prived of their seats acd that Pinch -
back and Kellogg the Senatorial out -
come of the most gigantic fraud that
ever existed will be sealed. So fur,the
Senate has transacted little business ex.,
cept the reference of mis Louisiana Sen
atorial questiou to the Commutee on
Elections.
Senator Dav : s, of West Vergiaia,
submitted a resolution to investigate the
Treasury Department, and will prob"
ably got a special Committee for the
purpose.
The consideration of executive nomi
nations will propably commence to-day.
Confirmations are expected in nearly all
cases including that of General
Harlan for Judge of the Snpreme
Couit
In the House little has been done
beyond organization, and the settlement
of a few questions as to disputed seats.
In these cases the Democratic majority
had otAed with commendable liberality.
To-day, Monday, is “bill day” in the
House and —the first of the session and
doubtless every Representative Dissrict.
in the country will be heard from.—
After that the House will settle down to
business.
The Silver Dili introduced by Sena-
Ingails|provides for the coining cf dollars
which shall boa legal tender for a’l
debts, public arid private, except where
yrnent in gold is specially provided
for by law. It is understood that this
bill, being merely a copy of one intro
duced heretofore, doers not embrace all
that ts asked for by the Silver Commis
sion of which Senator Jones is Chair
man. Representative Ewing of Ohio?
will lead off in the House on this sub
ject The best speaking talent of that
body is favorable to remonetization and
to doubt much time will be taken in
the consideration of the question.
Reno.
Colot eI Men in Congress.
The day of colored represent?lives in
Congress is numbered. It has been a
matter of very general remark that there
are but three colored members in the
present House —Cain, Rainey, and
Smalls, of South Carolina, all of whose
seals are contested by white men. In
the last House there were seven colored
members, and in the Congress before
that, more. It is the general expres
sion that hereafter unless colored mem
bers are elected in tine Northern States
none will ever again bo seen in Con
gress. As the three in the present
Congress have only been admitted on
{rima lhcia ca?e3, on certificates man
ipulated by the notorious Chamberlain
and Cardoza, cooked up by the lYtudu-’
lent returning board of South Carolina
it would not beat all strange that the
House Elections Committee, after a
consideration of their cases, should give
their ge..ts to the contestants in each in
stance. '1 he colored Congressman has
been a ecided failure. Elliott ol south
Carolina was the most permanent one
that ever held a sea'. Ilis speeches
were remarkably good, and it was gen
erally believed that they were prepared
by lieu Rutler- Smalls, who now re-
presents a South Carolina constituency
has just emerged from jail, where he
was confined for frauds in that State.
If the juries of that State do their duty
they will have him in the penitenten-*
tiary before long. Southern States w : ll
not elect any more colored Congress
men, as even the negioes are opposed to
them. —Hartford Times’
Senator Blaine on Hayes’ Title.

Blaine said to-day that so far as the tP

Hayes is concernod, the simile is pecu.
liar. “Mr. Stehpens,” said he “says
Mr. Ilayes holds his office by a better
title than George Washington did be
cause Mr Hayes was put there by the
highest judicial tribunal ever formed in
this country. “That reminds me,” said
Mr. Blaine, “of an old fellow up in
Maine, who ran for office, and they
charged on the stump that he had been
indicted for villainy of some kind. The
candidate answered in his own behalf
that the ether candidate made a great
blunder in making the charge. He ad*
mitted the indictment of twelve jury*
men to the effect that he was an honest
man, while his opponent had never
even been indicted, and consequently
could not have such a recommendation
for the suffrages of the people.—
