A Digniaed Man and a. Postozacs
Clerk.
Thehdman heart, in its expansive,
limitless capacity for enjoyment,
takes greater pleasure IN nothing
more than witnessinga portly, sok
emn-Visaged man, the embodiment
of nature dignity, importance in
clothes, administers scathing Hebuke
to some "smslr petty official. This
morning just such personifcation
ofinnate dignity loomed up to the
stamp-window Of the Post Office, and
glanced in gloomy and majestic dis
pleasure at the busy clerk registering
letter, before he sprsng to the win
dow and asked the stately customer
what be wished. The great man did
not answer for several moments. He
gazed steadily and impressively over
the clerks head, and then asked, in
pOnderons tones: al 9A
'fIs there any one her-r-re-Who
attends to business2n aeoG -8eoiz
The embarrassed clerk blushed, fal-
tered for moment, then recovered
himself, said with Characteristic and
national -eheerfalness, becoming an
officer of the Republic. a
Il viii see, SIR a
And he disappeared, He went IN
to the other department, tortured q
carrier with an original eonundrum
and heard a good story in the mail
room, and came back, ID.
@Yes, sir he said to the great one,
'sthere are, in addition to myself,
three clerks in the letter department,
one in the mailing room, four car
riers. three route agents, the mail
driver, and a janitor."
"a h-h? / am glad there are so
many. Imay, in all that number,
find one who is at his post.n of
And then he looked as impressive
as a special agent and was silent for
three minutes, while the impassiye
clerk awaited his orders, and impa-
tient men behind him fdgetted and
grumbled. Finally the great man
said, with great solemity:
'sf wish one three cent stamp.
The clerk tore of the stamp, held
it, waiting for the consideration.
The great man made a somewhat lon
| ger pause than usual; he felt in his
various vest pockets, he gradual lost
his impressive rebuke, his chest cav
ed in, and ne assumed the aspect Of
an ordinary frail mertsl, and he said:
@Ah-the fact is-Pm sure-ah-
| in short, I find that I have earelessly
lleft my purse st home. Can you
kindly oD a5a-9an 9ll
The impressive clerk, with the
faintest suggestion Of triumph in his
| eye, waved the great man aside with;
"Sorry for you, sir, but the clerk
| who sells on credit is not in. What
| does the next man WantP
And we felt so good to see how
that clerk was taken down by the
dignifed man, that we went away
and laughed for a week.

The Democracy of this state. we regret to see,
Is not entirely harmonious There is a serious
schism in Allegheny county. On Friday one wing
OF the party met in convention, elected delegates
to the State Convention, and appointed a new
County COmmittee.-The other wing (of which the
Cumberland DAILY Tunes is the organ) repudiates
the action OF this Convention and determined to
elect other delegates. The Democrats of Anne
Arundel are also dissatisfied with the action OF
their County Convention. A meeting was held
at Annapolis on FRIDAY evening at which resolu-
tions were adopted eondemnIng the proceeding OF
the Convention, and declaring that "most OF
its nominations were not fit to be made" and two
sets Of delegates to the State Convention have
been elected. In Baltimore city there is much
with some OF the nominations, and
a " cstizen's party" is talked Of and we fear may
grow to alarming proportions, and draw considera-
bic strength from the Democratic party EaSfOn

rhe NeRroes plssatIsned.

We publish an article in another column from
E0eyy Eoening, Of Friday, purpOrting to set forth
the opinion of the negroe voters OF this city and
county. 1t will be seen that complaint is raised
against the Republican panty because it will not
put negroes on the ticket and they not furnished
with due proportion of the Offices.
Here we have it plainly set forth that they are
ready to dispose of their votes for Office. In one
sense they are right; but in another they are
wrong. But in any sense the article shows how
entirely ignorant they are of the use of the bal
lot, which is not to place men in office SO much
as to secure good and economical government
The negroes, however, seem not to question the
government. They are ready 20 vote if only one
of their race is on the ticket. They would not
hesitate 10 tax everybody heavily and themselves
too, merely to get negro in office. This is
characteristic of that race, and the consequence
is found in the ruin of the South through this
very course of action. No race but the negro
race would offer to submit to bad government and
hard taxation simply to see one OF their people
10 office. 1t is natural that they should prefer
their own race but it is just as unnatural that
whites should not prefer their race. The negroes
have been recognized rs citizens before the law,
and they have all the rights that so debased ana
ignorant people should be accorded. To place
them in office is to traduce the white race and TO
run the risk of great injury and decentralization
to both races, by making politics and political
offices so contemplate that those who would give
honor and dignity to our public institutions
would not take office
1t is gratifying to US to fnd that the Republi-
can party in Delaware has not put the negro on
the ticket. 1t might be the means OF defeating
their ticket not to comply with this demand, or
this Offer of ,the negro to sell lis brethrens'
votes for "a mess of pOttage." But we feel too
much pride in the white race to wish to see the me-
gro occupying place the ticket ofeither party.
We hope never to witness injustice done the
negre. But he has no right 10 ask white man
to put his neck down that the negro race may
make it a stepping stone to power.

The Rev L. J. Fletcher, of Buffalo, made the
recent races there the text of his last Sundays
sermon, telling his congregation that he went to
the finest specimens of the noblest animal that
God has given to the human family" aud he
thought it should be q clergyman's duty TO see
such creatures, since he cannot own and must not
drive them. A second object was to ascertain
the comparative good and evil resulting from the
sport, as he believed that secondhand informa-
tiOn does not generally result in firslclass know
ledge. While he condemned betting and pool
selling, he had no complaint to make against the
desire to bring business and money into the city
by means OF the sport through the avenues OF
legitimate traffic and occupations nor the wish

The Salary STEAL"

The Commercial seems to have been greatly
affronted because we said 1t Justified the salary
steai," and replies in language that is neither
courteous nor approved by the great mass of
readers having proper care for the morality Of
the community.
We were led to infer that the Commercial justi-
fed the SALARY Steal from lis own language on
several occasions, in which it said it thought the
increased pay was none too much. 1t may have
intended to refer TO the shack pay" only as the
"salary steal" But to the great majority the in
creased pay is as Objectionable as the back pay,
and the whole together has been termed the
"salary steal" II, in this way, we have done In
justice to the Commercial, we are ready to make
the correction, and in 80 far have endeavOFed to
do SO. But we know that We are right in saying
the Commercial has justified the increased pay
whether that is part of the salary steal not is
simply question that may be determined by
others. We are in favor of the immediate repeal
of the law, believing that $4,000 is ample pay
for nine months service, and those who cannot
subsist on tlat should be permitted TO stay at
home.
But there is still another view about this mat
ter. We understand and hold that President
Grant was the great leader in this whole 'salary
steal" business that he received "back pay"
there is no doubt Now, We had this asian ad-
ditonal cause for supposing the Commercial JUS
titled the 'salary steal" for so far as We have evr
seen it has justified every leading measure Of
Grant.
Mr.. Garfield, great leading Ratical has told
his constituents that they should cf'l on the
President to return his portion of the steal -
but so far as we know the Commercial has never,
in any of its issues censured Grant for taking
his share Of the salary steal" which IVES more
than four times as great in amount as that Of any
member of Congress. If the Commercial does
not justify the salary steal in Grant, it has had
ample time in which to have said SO. But il has
never said ftirly aud squarely that it did not
But the greatest part of the steal is the increase
of salary. Grant knew he was not worth &25, { 70
year aud yet he went to the Capital, it is said
and urged the increase Of his pay to $500 10; and
with barefaced e1rOntery accepts the "back pay
also. And this salary steal" the Commercial !
has never openly and fairly condemned so far as
we have seen. Believing we are right We might
hurl back the discorteous remark of that paper
but we prefer not TO show want OF respect to
the readers of the GAZETTE.

The negroes Of the city are demanding Office
aud threaten the Republican party with MONACO

tory rests in their hands according 10 their view
of the matter; aud all the people are to be taxed

nent but to secure office. This Is directly the
result of the nattery bestowed by two or three
Radicals who are anxious to keep mole digniaed
men of, and themselves would be willing TO 60
on, the ticket with the negro. But 1t is too bad
that taxpayers OF the city should be at the mercy
of these ineOnsiderate ndignoTant negroes who
would by the sale of their votes tax the whole OF
our real estats about Oneeighth more than Is actn-
ally necessary to conduct an economical govern
ment. They are now getting education free and
have all the lawful privileges OF the whites, and
are yet not Eatished. 3
