s-"Evelyn," the New Orleans cor
respondent Of the Mobile Register and
Advertiser, embodies in one Of bis recent
letters the following advice gratis :"
Appoint young men to office. There
is more value in that bit of advice than
will be imagined upon casual reading
There has always been disposition to
nut old men in Office because they are
supposed to have had experience; but this
is not always the true policy. A young
man enters the world with a good educa>
ton, ambitious, determined and axious TO
rise. Give him an office, and in nine
cases out Of ten he will adorn it and make
a name. II there is anything in him be
has a chan ce 10 show it. An old man in
Office half the time turns out mere
drone. Ii there had been anything in
him it would have come out long ago
OF course, speak only of the minol
offices, and not those Of great responsl,
biitv. There is where gray hairs and ex
perience show themselves, and where the
Young can look up with respect. l have
in nv mind now the Office Of coroner
Put an old man in and it will soon be
come the greatest bore in the world tC
him. while Young man would MI The
Office With profit to himself and to lh'
community. Make .He respected old
men Senators and legislators; but give
us Young men chance in the mlno
offices that the present old men should
have had long ago. I do like that com
munity which gives IT'S young men
chance. No one respects gray hair
more than l do, but | would not sc
them in the public Offices that require &C
ton and quick intelligence. When
= man has arrived at respected old age b
is entitled to a more dlgni6ed ofhce iha
: that offered in the small county aud mu
J nicipal ofices-they should be steppin
stones for the young.

THE WAY THE RADICAL MAORI
TIES ARE INCREASED.
How Hon D. W. Voorhees, was
Cheated out Of his Seat.


The Committee for increasing the Rad
ical Majority in the House by all means
fair or foul, have not covered their tracks
we'll They cheated A, c. Baldwin, OF
Michigan, out Of bis seat in Congress to
give it to Radical. They have cheated
D. w. Voorhees,, Of Indiana, out of his
seat to give it to another, and are still at
work increasing their majority. But they
have worked in a guise of Committee
on Elections. The following extracts
from a speech Of Mr. voorhees, show that
the mask was torn off somehow, and their
real character exposed, not to say avoid
ed:
MR. VooRHEEs-I will suppose that the
seat Of a member Of this House IS con
tested in the usual way; that the case Is
reached and taken up by the Committee
on elections that full and elaborate argu
ment is heard by both parties to the con-
test, extending through three days; that
all the evidence is in, and so far as the
contest and the sitting member are con
cerped, the case is closed and submitted
to the committee. l will suppose that
the sitting member is politically very ob
noxious 10 seven out Of the nine members
Of the committee, and has no charitable
constructions to expect at their bands
that he informed them in the argument
of the case lhat all he expected or asked
was simply what the law and facts would
compel them to give that bare, naked
Justice, after all doubtful points had been
ruled against him, was all he sought to
confirm his title to bis seat. | will sup
pose that after the close Of the argument,
the committee, of its own motion and
against the wishes of both parties, took
the whole matter under advisement du
ring nearly the space Of week, at the
end Of which time its members announ
ced themselves ready to vote. will sup
pose that thereupon the roll Of the com
mittee was called for the ayes and nays
and that every member Of the committee
with but one exception, answered. tha
the sitting member was entitled to hi
d seat that the one dissenting vote wa
given By the chairman that then, 10
some reason Of which We are Profound
ignorant, this action OF the committee
favor Of the sitting member was withheI
n from this house, ard that after the laps
of nearly another week, during whIc
time no more evidence was taken, no NOR
e argument heard, and no further motto
given. at least TO the sitting member,
different conclusion was reached, and th
D contestant declared to be elected by tn
very same men who few days befor
had solemly declared that be was moi
!" | need not stop to characterize such pr(
ceedipg with epithets. 1t will find !
proper estimation in the minds of all hoE
est men, here and elsewhere. Nor nee
pause to inquire into the motives Whlc
Governed such conduct. There is no ey
= so blind as not to discern them, and n
heart so caIoused by partisan prelude

such has been the action OF the commi
tee on the case now under consideration
