THERE is trouble about the 'Post
orfices." President Grant persists
in making some appointments upon
his own knowledge, and as it hap.
pens, ne makes the very appoint
ments that don't suit somebody, and
then there is row raised. 1t lately
transpired that the President was
about to appoint personal friend,
Thos. III. Foulds, to the Cincinnati
Post Office, whereupon the CONNER
eial of that city paid its respects to
the President IN a manner more for.
chile than polite. And we hear
rumors of discomfort elsewhere.
Why can not Post Masters be elect.
ed by the people? 1t is an office in
which the people have a direct inter-
est, and moreover, there is entirely
too much patronage in the hands of
he President. We cannot think of
! better place to commence to cur.
.ail it than in the matter of Post O {.
ices.

IT must be confessed that the man.

II must be confessed that the man.
ner adopted by Mr.. Stewart to
straighten out the tangled condition
of matters relative to the Secretary
ship of the Treasury, was at once
tue easiest, best and most satisfacto-
ry to all concerned. 1t was not nee
essary that long existing and
necessary law should be set aside in
order that any particular one should
be enabled thereby to assume the
duties of a certain Office, and the
Senate showed its wisdom by ap.
preaching the matter with due eau
ton and deliberation. True, it was
thought by some that the simple fact
that, the President desired the repeal
of the law should have been sufficient
cause for its immediate repeal, but
some Senator's judged otherwise
and rightly, too. The Senate, we are
happy to note, is exercising the
same deliberation and caution in the |
matter of the repeal of the Tenure-of-
office act, and the President says he
will enforce the law to the letter if it
Is not repealed. That is just what
he country wants.

According to the account made on
the 4th of March, Secretary Boutwell,
takes charge of the Treasury Depart
ment with about one hundred and
two millions OF dollars in coin in the
vaults, twenty-nine millions of which
is in gold bearing certificates, and
thirteen millions in currency. The
public debt on the LIST of March was
80, ,54s, 1886, ,9O4.2s. but since that time
it has been decreased about three
millions. No payment of interest
will be due until the 1st of May, when
$50, ,000, 600 in coin will be required
to pay the semi-anEual installment of
interest on the 6vetwenty bonds,
which falls due on that date.

For The Jeffesonian.
SUFFRAGE.

EDITORS JEFF.:-In q recent edIto-I
rial commenting on the Suffrage
Amendment, you unjustly censure
the good intentions of that act. so
that sit will most certainly fail of its
object" In the opinion of your
humble servant, you put in objec-
tions where none are necessary. You
say "the House declares, by joint
resolution, that no one shall be dis
franchised by reason Of race, color,
or previous condition, leaving the no
less arbitrary and unrepublicsn tests
of education, property or creed to be
set up at will by any State or the
United States.' Does not ''pfcelc-.5
condition" cover the whole ground !?
If no one can be disfranchised by
reason of"previous condition, which
condition was at the very bottom OF
poverty and ignorance, how are the
educational and property tests to be
set up? Certainly our legislators
mean to place the black race upon an
equal footing with other folks in this
matter OF suffrage, and if they haven't
it surely is not because they did not
deem the amendment sufficient. For
Ione, / never would have dreamed OF
any deficiency in the amendment to
accomplish that object, if you had
not mentioned it And on your
basis for objections, they can be ex
tended to almost any number of
Itests-"or. indeed by any test ex-
cept those enumerated.'' as you say.
"Equal Justice" is aimed at. Then
let us be thankful, and commend the
measures. 'The world moves" and
let us be in unison and no quibbling
'We have an abiding faith in the
intelligence aud fair mindedness of
the American people So has
Your READER.
| We can only say that our CORES
pondent labors under very serious
error in supposing that the words
"previou condition covers the whole
ground. The words as used in the
amendment are ''previous condition
OF servitude," and can only relate to
the condition of slavery to which the
black race were subject previous to
the Emancipation Proclamation
We would further say to our CORES
pondent that neither an educational
or property qualification relate to
"previous condition. but on the
contrary, to the present condition of
the applicant for suffrage.
We insist tha' our structures upon
this measure were just, and while we
are thankful that partial justice is
being done the black man, we sim
cerely regret that other tests, as
essential to justice as that of race or
color, were not provided against at
the same time. For the benefit of
our friend we will add that we are
not "quihbling." We fully appre-
ciate the step that is being taken,
but in consideration of what is being
left undone, we would have preferred
to have seen the whole matter laid
over for the present.

A CHASE AFTER THE "vARMINT.

A CHASE AFTER THE "vARMINT."
The time that the following true
incident happened, was at the late
date OF 1852; the place near where
now stands the fourishing town of
Roscoe. The "Bandits of the. Usage"
had been numbered with the things
that were, and no longer was heard
the war-whoop Of the savage. But,
in the place of these were to be found
a few hardy backwoodsmen, the ad-
vance guard of the dense population
that is beginning to settle this val
ley. -
Wild sports are common in new
settlements, and among them, hunt
ing was fayorite pastime. To
them no music was sweeter than the
sound OF the rifle mo harmony
smoother than that of the baying OF
pack of hounds.
In the Spring of the year above
mentioned, some new animal was
heard on the banks of the Usage,
such as the Oldest inhabitant had
never heard before. Anxious young
men were seen in all parts within
hearing, collecting at the residence
OF Major ID. to devise means 10 cap

Bro. GLEssNER, of the Courier,
dodges our questions in regard to
the Splitter matter, and tries to get
under cover by his old argument
about the Gibson detalcation. Grant
ing. for the sake of argument, that
Gibson was defaulter, does that
justify Splitter? 1t required a suit to
be brought, at considerable expense
to the county, to compel Samuel
Splitter to refund over $1,000 that
belonged to the county Was there
nothing lost to taxpayers in that
matter, neighbor? Don't dodge the
question And if $40 is the balance
of Mr.. Mobiles fee, TO how much does
it all amount? There is another
balance of biz there, which the
Commissioners rejected at former
meeting, but allowed at the last. Can
our neighbor give US any information
on that subject? Now neighbor, stick
to the text, and dent get away off
outside of creation where even Kerr s
velocipede can never reach you. Talk
of the abuses that exist right at home
under your venerable nose. Let us
try and get some of the leaks stopped
in cur County Treasury, and then, if
every other county receives the same
attention, at the hands of its citizens,
the burdens that cypress our people
will be removed.
Stick TO the text, Bro. Glessner If
you want to go outside the detalcation
to talk, let us hear from that 500
bill. But keep within the county, or
at least within the regions of space.
