How to Fill the Offices.

THE deadlock between the President and the
Senate in regard to the Philadelphia appoint
ments still continues. If the President really
wishes to fill these Offices, let him appoint
good, honest men, who voted for Lincoln and
Johnson, instead of Democrats, who did all
they could to elect Mcclellan and Pendleton.
There are hundred good men in this city
who voted for Andrew Johnson in 1864, en-
tirely unobjectionable in every respect, and
fully qualified to fill the position of Collector,
whom the Senate would confirm if nominated.
Why does not the President try the names
of some of these men? Why does he pro-
scribe men whose only offense is that they
voted for Andrew Johnson in lS645 Why
does he seek to reward men who prescribed
Andrew Johnson during all that earlier and
nobler career when he won those laurels for
service in the cause of the Union which are
still his chief public ornament

How the COlOTed Citizens of the South
View the Situation.
VIZ have never had the least fear that the
mass of the freedmen of the South would act
with the Republican party, at least until their
rights and liberties should be placed upon a
secure foundation in the constitutions of the
Southern States. OF course, any occasional
renegade, like Beverly Nash, will be bought
up by the opposition, but it is impossible in
much influence over his fellows. The black man
of the South knows full well that he was once
a slave and now is free. He knows who gave
him that freedom. He knows to whom he is
indebted for the ballot. Wherever there is
an organization of his friends he will act with it,
How powerfully these great facts of his
former and present condition appeal to the
mind of the freedman, is well shown il the
brief record of some speeches delivered
by oolored citizens at meeting lately
held at Greenville, South Carolina. We sub

polished, could have made better or more

the meeting-

A Horrible Affair In BrOokIyn-HobberY
and Violence by GRrrOterG.
Mrs. Mary Thompson, who was garroted,
beaten, and robbed by three ruffians at the
Brooklyn on the evening of the 9th of March
died on Sunday last from the effects of the
injuries she received on that occasion.
Coroner Smith was notified yesterday 10
hold an inquest uNon her body, at her
late residence corner of Bergen and Classon
avenues The husband OF the unfortunate
woman, who is engaged in business In Boston,
sent her a sum OF money, which she received
in New York on the 9th OF March. She ex
pended $40 of the amount in the purchase Of
$40 she concealed in the bosom of her dres%
She then crossed the Fulton ferry, aud BY
mistake took Myrtle avenue instead of
Fulton avenue car. On reaching the corner
and started 10 cross TO Fulton avenue. When
she had reached the corner OF w though ~ street
she was attack d by three ruffi ms, one OF
whom caught her 10y the throat and choked
her until she became insenSible, while the
other two tore open the bosom OF her dress aud
robbed her of her monet. The poor man
struggled TO free herself from the clutches ~
the thieves, when they knocke ed her 10 yn and
kicked her until she was quite insehsiple.
They then made their escape and the only
description she could give OF them on return
ing to consciousness, was that one was quite
tall, had sandy mpleXlOu, and wore q llghJ
cOlOred coat; while another was a tnlck set
man, dressed in dark clothing. IL is believed
the unfortunate woman was followed by Tue
thieves from New York, and they TOOK Ine
opportunity Of perpetrating the outrage at the
above place. A post -mortem examination was
held upon the body yesterday, when the iact
jured in the most terrible manner, and that she
was within one moEth of giving blrtn 10 an
infant. An inquest will be held upon the Oodv
on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock.-N. T. Herald

How People Treat Ea ci,
Other.

. Not one man In ten thousand sees
those with whom he associates as they
really are II the prayer of Burns were
granted and we could all see ourselves
% others see as, our self-estimates
would IN all probability be much more
erroneous than they nows are. The
truth Is that We regard each other
through variety. OF lenses. no enc of
which ID correct. Passion and preju-
dice, love aud hate, beneyolence and
envy, spectacle our eyes, and utterly
prevent us from observing accurately.
Many whom we deem the porcelain of
human clay, are mere dirt; and still
greater number of those we put down
In our "black books, y are no further off
from heaven, and perchAncc a. little
nearer, than the censors who condemn
them. We habitually undervalue and
|0vervalue each other, and In estimating
character. the ,shrewdest of us only
now and then make true appraisal Of
the virtues aud defects Of even our clO-
eest intimates. IT Is not fair to look at
character from a. stand point OF ones
own selection. A mans profile may
be unprepossesssing and yet his full
face agreeable. The merchant who
|gives court answers In, his counting
house, may be tender husband and
father, mud q kind helper Of the DESC
late and oppressed. On the other hand
your good humored person. who is all
smiles and sunshine in public, may
carry something as hard rs the neither
mill stone, In the place where his heart
ought to be. Such anomalies are COM
mon. There Is this comfort, however,
for those whose misjudgments Of their
fellow mortals lead to the kindly side---
such mistakes go to their credit In the
great account He who thinks better
of his neighbors than they deserve,
cannot be a bad man, for the standard
by which- his Judgment is guided is the
goodness of his own heart. It Is only
the base who believe all men base---or
in other words, like themselves. Few,
however, are all evil. Even Nero did
g good turn to Somebody; for when
Rome was rejoicing over his death,
some. loving hand covered his grave
with flowers. Public men are seldom
or never fairly judged; at least while
living. However corrupt, they are sure
to find eulogists. History may do them
justice; but they rarely get " while liv-
ing, either from friend or foe.
