persons to discharge the varied and
important trusts devolving upon
them as county officials is rapidly
approaching. Already the candi-
dates are swarming about, as flies
do about the decomp osing remains
Of a putrid carcass. Of course
there is no profit in the Offices to
which they severally aspire, their
only motive being to promote the
public veal. That some are mistak-
en- IS to the int rests of the pub
lie, being ind entical With their own
'Uifoh ends. is My evidence Of the
fallibility Of human wisdom.
The real interests OF the puDIic
demand imperatively that men Of
known and acknowledged ability,
Of uuimpeachs bic integrity, as we'll
as uuquestionablc honesty should be
chosen. While seeking for men
having an abundance Of the last
qualification, the others should in
no instance be ingnored. The old
republican or democratic max i'm was
never more appropriately in order
than now: els he honest is ha "a.
pable." OF particular individuals
and their claims We have not hing to
say. We hold however that the Of
fees belong to the people, and that
no man has any claims the people
are bound to recognize.
The assumption of almost every
individual is. when they once have
the public teat, to use their posi-
ton and money, with months of la
Dor in forestalling public opinion in.
to an expression, that the public
still demand their retention; when
the truth oftener than otherwise is,
there is no honest effort of the pco-
pie to that end, and the result if
brought about is by months of lsbo-
rious cleo pioneering, and then as
the expression Of political wire
workers and not of the very dear
people.
The most Of the local officers, if
men simply do their duty. are re-
moved from politics, SO far that not
one political act can be legitimate
~ done by sanction of their Offices.
Therefore it is not at all important
to US that men should at all times
be Of one or tho otherparty, but that
they be capable and honest in the
strictest sense of the terms. And
in using these terms We wish to be
understood, while admitting the
honesty Of many aspirants. Is ques-
tioning their ability for the proper
and ofhciont discharge Of the duties
they ask to assume for the public
interests of course.
We know there are many honest
men aspiring to positions of trust
and honor that involve duties they
are incapable of disoharging. That
they can employ men who are capa-
BILE, is no argument in their favor;
but instead is IN argument in favor
of giving the Office to those they
would employ Is clerks. and whose
honesty and ability the aspir.nt

IRE arment Of Prisoners.

!: An unlimited amount Of abuse
and elimination has been expended
against the South for the treat

to the Federal Government through
its commissioners and officers Of ex-
change to deliver up 20. 600 federal
prisoners. without any equivalent,
