THE Press and Herald re-published on
Sunday the extravagant assertion of some
irresponsible Washington scribbler, that,
while the South pays more taxes into the
national treasury than the North, only
from fifty to one hundred thousand dollars
was appropriated by Congress TO public
buildings in the South, whereas millions
are to be expended in the, North.
Now every sensible reader knows
the statement to be false, and the
Press and Herald ought to have known
it also. Within sight of its editorial rooms
is q magnificent marble structure being
erected by the Government. The las:
Congress appropriated sle6, 0ooto complete
the building and yet our contemporary
tells its readers that in all tue South the

preparation for $4,000 for Gov
eminent building, and Memphis has
a still larger one. So while in
Tennessee alone over half million dol
lars have been thus Appropriated a paper
published in the State, tries to mislead its
readers by re-publishing false statements,
and all to encourage miserable, sectional
prejudice. Such stuff is retailed out to
readers in all parts of the South and feel

ten years has filled our land with blood
and anguish. Is it not about time such
falsehoods were suppressed by papers pro-

STRANGE ACTION OF THE BALTI.
MORE COLLECTnR.-The treasury depart
ment is excited over the large number of
new appointments, some seventy in num-
Der, just received from the new collector
of the port of Baltimore for confirmation.
None of these appointments are yet acted
upon, for the reason that it is charged that
many of them are Democrats. The old
employees discharged are said to be most
efficient servants Of the government under
the Thomas administration. Friends of the
discharged forces are using every effort to
have them restored. One of the strongest
points they make is that the action of the
new collector is direct infringement of
the civil service rules, and if sustained will
sweep away the last remnant of that great
clerical safeguard in Maryland.
