JOHNSON MEN IN OFFICE.
FrOm the 81 Louis Republican.

Eyonp the 81 Louis Republican
1t will, perhaps, be remembered that, not long
ago, correspondents of different papers related
what purported to be the words of converse
toD between the President and Senator Ross, oil
Kansas, the end of which was that Senator Ross
told General Grant to go to the devil, and Gene
raj Grant told Senator Ross to leave the house
and never come back again. In the Senate the
day before the adjournment, Senator Ross rose
TO a personal explanation, in which he declared
that the statements in question were grossly
incorrect and slanderous, not only in regard to
himself, but in regard to the President; adding
that NO words inconsistent with the strictest
propriety and decorum found utterance by either
party during the interview.
The remarks of Mr.. Ross are important as
disclosing the rule or one of the rules, of Exc
cutive conduct in the matter of appointments.
The purpose of his visit to the President was
to protest against the sweeping changes which
were being made in the officials of his State
whereby men who were among the best Re-
publicans and the bravest soldiers of that State
were being removed for no assignable cause
and an entirely different class of men installed
in their places" To this, as Mr.. Ross afirms
General Grant replied that ''where any man had
held Office during the past year and half, it
was presumptive evidence that he was johnson
man." Senator Ross thought that the doings
and rule of conduct laid down by the President
were lin the face of his oft-repeated declara-
tions that changes in the offices of the country
should be made only for cause" and in this
unless the fact that n man had held Office during
the past year and q half is cduSe-he is not far
out of the way.
turing more than the year and half which
prece,s ed the retirement of Mr.. Johnson, he was
unable to remove man from or to appoint one
to office, withoutthe consent of the Senate, and
the prerogative to give or to withhold consent
was exercised in the most dictatU."lal and un-
scrupulous manner and to an unlimited eXvSnC.
No man who was believed to be unfriendly to
Mr.. johnson could be removed; no one who
rested under any suspicion of being his friend
could be confirmed

etc. in half the States. Has the average pro-
duct of days work in these fallen off one-ffth,
or one-tenth, or to any extent whatever We
ought to know; but the facts have not even been
required When we shall have been informed,
we can tell whether it is or is not just to reduce
compensation, and to what extent; until then,
we are quite in the dark.
We urge the workers for wages to consider the
whole matter calmly and carefully. We do not
know that the time has yet come for reducing
the hours of labor to eight per day; bur, if II
has not we cannot doubt that il will. 1t win

the act of Congress shall result in demonstrate
ing that days work of eight hours is as pro-
ductive as one of ten, it will have done great
good Mt a very moderate risk and cost.

THE DECENTRALIZATION OF THE REPUB.

H'O"u t'o ~ Il tIeJuU,
The Republican party is fearfully dcm0ral-
lied The rank anG file of this hitherto all
powerful organization have no longer any com
mon bond of union except the common bond of
the public plunder, and over the plumber since
the 4th OF March last they have been growing
snarling, swapping, AID fighting like infuriated
cats and dogs There lave BEEN on an average,
say ten applicants for every desirable Office in
the gift OF the President with the consent of the
Senate, and so, Tor every patriot removed nine
patriots are disappointed and some are incensed
and disgusted. The President has been makinS
quick work of an ugly Job. Within two months
from his Inauguration he has filed nearly all the
desirable places; but he has at the same time
with the consent OF the Senate filed the land
with the groans of the wounded. The unluckv
place-hunters have turned against him. against
the lucky ones, and against each other; and such
an exhibition of wrath and scandal, with the
washing of dirty linen before the public, we
have not had since the first great Cabinet i'm

THE UNION AND AMERICAN.
INDIAN SUMMER.


just after the death Of the flowers,
And before they are buried in snow
Ihere comes festival season,
When nature is all aglow-
Aglow with mystical splendor
thAt rivals the beauties Of Spring
Aglow with beauty more tender
Than aught which fair Summer could bring.
Some spirit akin TO the rainbow,
Then bOrrrOws its magical dyes,
And nantes the far-spreading landscape
In hues that bewilder the eyes.
The sun from it's cloud-pillOwed chamber
Smiles soft on vision so gay,
And dreams that his fsvorite children,
The flowers, have not yet passed away.
There's luminous mist on the mountains,
light, azure haze in the air,
As il angels, while heavenward soaring,
Had left their bright robes floating there.
81 The breeze is so soft 81 caressing,
1t seems a mute token Of love,
And floats to the heart like blessing
From some happy spirit above.
These days, 90 serene and so charming,
Awaken dreary delight
tremulOus fearful enjoyment,
Like soft strains of music at night;
We know they're fading and heeting,
That quickly, too quickly, they'll end,
And we watch them with yesrning affection,
As at parting we watch dear friend.
Oh beautiful Indian Summer!
Thou favorite child Of the year,
Thou darling whom Nature enriches
With gifts and adornments 80 dear!
How fain would we WOO thee TO hnger
On mountain and meadow awhile,
For our hearts, like the sweet haunts Of Mature
Rejoice and grow young in thy smile

who would rather their children
should read the Bible only at home,
or in their own Sabbath Schools, that
the comments and interpretations
received by the children may be such
only as will accord with what they,
the parents, believe to be right.
The general sense Of the communi-
ty, as we apprehend, deems it per-
fectly right and necessary that School
Directors shall insist that the Teach
ers they employ shall be moral per-
sons, and persons whose influence in
the Schools will not be given against
religion; but that Directors Of Public
Schools have no right to make any
religious test for Teachers, nor to
insist that they shall belong to or
support any particular Church. And
for similar reasons, why should not
the question Of reading the Bible in
any Public School be decided by the
wish of the peopledirectly interested?
And why, if they decide adversely,
should such decision be considered as
having any serious portent concern
ing the whole country?

A Herd Law.

Petitions are being extensively cir
culated in some parts Of the State,
asking the next General Assembly to
pass Il law preventing stock of any
kind from running at large without
being herded-the law to take effect
only in Counties voting to adopt it.
Chapter l44 of the Laws of the last
General Assembly provides for the
distraint Of any stock doing damage
to any property at night. This law
takes effect only in Counties adopt
ing it by vote. Some Counties have
already adopted it; but in Benton
County, as we see by the Vinton
Eagle, the people cared SO little about
it that, though it received a majority
of $50 votes, and only III votes were
cast against it, yet over 800 electors
in the County, voting at that elec-
ton, did not vote on this question
at all.
Indeed, it don't appear to us that
the present law amounts to much
anyway; but whether the people OF
the State are prepared for strict
Herd Law is more than we could say.
If any of our stock-owning readers
feel sufficiently interested to discuss
the question briefly in these columns
we should like to hear from them.

As IN Iowa the same burdens Ut COZ
ruption and fraud that they have al
ways brought toother States. "There
is no way ofjudging of the future but
by the past" From what history
teaches, let us learn what to expect.
And one noble step toward pre-
venting all this, as it seems to us, is
to shut down the gates against all
perquisites and privileges. If sala.
ries are not high enough, increase
them. Make them liberal. The
State wants none of the "poor pay,
poor preach" kind Of service. Let us
pay for the best, and see that we get
it. But let the pay be wholly within
the salary, and not one atom outside
oft. For Legislators NOS less than
other men have need to pray tha,
they be not led into temptation: and
perquisites are temptation.

PatriarChal Relations.
MACON. ca. NoY. Il

MACON, GA., NOV. IS.
1t is estimated that $1,000 people
were on the Fair Grounds to-day.
General Wade Hampton delivered
the address. He expressed the be-
lief that the South will, in q short
time, regain her former prosperity;
thought negro labor was better than
any other class; counseled the cuIti-
vation of more patriarchal relations
with the freedmen, and wanted their
moral and intellectual status im-
proved.
There it is again-that same old
coon! "Patriarchal relations" for
sooth! Those old Shareholders and
their communities can'tget into their
heads that the negro is now by law
a man and brother, voter as good
the best Of them, and on terms of full
equality with any man before the
law. He don't need or want any
more of the old "patriarchal rela-
tions." He has been put on his own
feet:-now give him a fair chance,
and then let him stand alone. If he
can't do that aftera fair trial, let him
go down. Time enough for the "pa-
triarchal relations" with him again
when the great experiment OF free
dom and equal rights shall havebeen
fairly tried and found a failure. Till
then, taking away all unjust him
ORANGES, let him work out his own
political salvation.

After the first of December, the
Presiden is authorized by law to ap-
point the nine new Circuit Judges
for the nine Judicial Districts Of the
country. There have been several
applications, made ind rectiy in
most cases, by State Judges, lawyers,
ex-Judges, de-, residing in the vari-
Gus Circuits or Districts; aud there is
not day that the President is not
importuned in behalf Of some Of these
applicants. The Supreme Court
Judges, who now sit on the Circuits
which the new Judges will occupy,
have, as Il general thing, refused to
endorse the papers Of any Of the new
applicants. The President promises
that every one of these life appoint
ments shall be made the subject Of
careful Cabinet consultation. --Reg-

The Suez Canal.

The great Ship Canal across the
Isthmus of Suez is now completed;
and its formal opening was celebrated
at Port Said on the 18th inst. with
the most imposing ceremonies. A
solemn blessing was pronounced, and
a sermon preached. The Emperor OF
Austria, the Empress OF France, the
Viceroy of Egypt, the Princes of
Prussia and Holland, and many for
eign ENJOYS, assisted at the ceremo-
nies; and the number of spectators
was immense. Afterward the I'M
perial Yacht carrying the Empress
Eugenie passed safely through the
Canal. Thus another OF the great
mechanical wonders of the 10Th Cen.
tury is thrown open as highway OF
commerce among the nations.
