II HE NEW BROOM E% FEE
TREASURY DEPAsk'ENl EMF

The Washington correspondent 81
the Baltimore Sem writes as follows:
Secretary Bristow has already put
on foot several reforms in the Treasury
Department, and with a determination
that indicates that he means to carry
them out. One of his first official du-
ties was to send for the chief of the
appointing bureau, and ascertain from
him how many persons drew pay and
rendered no services in return. The
long list of sinecures was shown to
him, and he directed the CLERK 10
strike every name off the payroll liz
mediately. Eighteen females were
found to be among the nulaber draw
ing pay from the department, and the
appointment cler]. went sofar as to sly
that they did Tot even take the trou-
BILE to call for their salary, that it had
to be sent to them regularly, and that
he had no information that they ever
did cents worth of work in return.
The new Secretary intends also to put
a stop to many other abuses, such as
clerks taking European trips with their
families at government expenses, On
imaginary inspections or business, and
If absenting themselves from their
'tesks. n some cases as much as three
iourtl. :, > me.
That s-"is Things should ever have
been ALLOW ii is ample confirmation, as
the Macon Telegraph and lIc8scngc.
we'll says, OF all the Democratic party
has charged as to the rank corruption
and profigacy with which that depart
ment reeked under Radical manage
ment. One of the strongest reasons
the Radicals have for preventing the
Democracy from taking possession of
the government is the light they will
let In on the dark places at Washing
ton. We expect that work to COM
mence OF the 9th OF March, 1877, but
we fear the Radicals will steal or burn
most OF the records before they take
fight. They dare not let the people |
know even half the iniquity they have
practised SINGS they stole into power
in 1861. =

We presume that it may now be
treated as an accomplished fact, that
Judge Russell is IL candidate for re-
election. It is true that no party and
no individual, SO far as We remember,
has publicly, formally nominated Mr..
Russell for Judge, but that is matter
of very small Importance, for q secret
nomination is IS good as a public one
in the Radical camp. All that it is
necessary to do is for the right man TO
give the negroes their votes and the
work is done We cLeerfully accept
the situation, therefore, and taking
Magnolia on Tuesday, recognize His
Honor as a candidate.
We regard Judge Russell IS the
weakest man that the Radicals could
have put up, for Of course. he IS in
reality their candidate. The prctence
of not making n nomination is too
thin to deceive the most unwary.
Plain people Will not be apt to see any
difference between the announcement
of the candidacy Of Il man by Il Con
vention and his denomination" ~ the
same body.
That his official life Will be closely
scrutinized and criticised, he must ex-
pect It was the Judge and his party
that introduced the elective Judiciary
system, and having made lis voters,
and offered himself to lis as candi-
date, it is but natural We should cx-
anime his record and see, generally,
what manner OF man he is before We
make up our minds how to vote
Has Mr. Russell been unpartizIH in
his conduct as Judge Has lie
meted out iusticc TO white ana black,
to Radical and to Democrat alike
Has he been courteous ana polite in
his dcmeanor while on the bench to
client and to counsel Do his views
about the RIGHT of negroes 10 % into
theatres and hotels and other public
places accord with the views Of the
white people of this district? Mr. Rus
sell must not complain if the people
discuss all these questions, for they
have right to discuss the qualidca-

OUR EHsLE-SEsORO Confession
DESCE.
HILLsBoRO, June 18th, 1874.

HILLsBOEO, June 18th, 1874.
Editors Of the Daily Jotn1sett:
l see by your paper of the 10th that
yon are in the full enjoyment of the
hot spell too. It has been a week to
remember here, the mercury running
up to So and IS in the shade. The
only advantage We can claim over you,
IS IN the fine character of the nights.
We do always rise IN the morning re-
freshad and lnvigorated against another
days battle with the solar heat, for our
nights are almost always deliciously
cool, and the atmosphere so absolute
ly sweet and pure that miasma and
the dread OF exposure never enter the
imagination.
The hot weather IS acting finely on
the wheat crop, which is ripening
rapidly and sOundLy. There is little
complaint OF disease, except rust on
the blades, which is not much regard
ed. Harvesting has already begun,
and the crop, it is thought, will be
rather above the average. Speaking
of crops calls to mind the very sue
cessful enterprise of James Norwood
III the culture Of the grasses. He has
between seventy-fiye and one hundred
acres III clover, timothy, orchard grass
and Egyptian oats. Much of this is
now beng cut, and the yield is very
tine. have heard that from portion
of grass land already cut, baled and
sent to market, he has received 81 SEQ.
This land is all upland, and illus
trates what 1 have always believed,
that the red lands of Orange might be
made 70 rival in the productions Of
the dairy those of our namesake of
New York; for where there is grass
there will be cattle, and where cattle,
plenty of milk, butter and cheese.
The fact is, that our people are or
have been too lazy to test their ad-
Vantages, and it is only by the Sic
cessful examples OF james Norwood.

occupied and possessed these at'yor-
t,tnate States"
Were not this so, the wrongs, the
occupations, and the undisguised tyr
amy so forcibly depicted in the record
I have just read were not possible.
That which has happened to Louisi-
ana, Texas, Arkansas, Alabama and
South Carolina originates in an abuse
of power that is applicable to Massa-
chusetts, New York or Ohio The
appeal I make for my own unfortunate
section [ make for the entire people of
the United States. In what I have
said L mean no assault upon the char
acter of the President. 1t IS the sys-
tenn against which I protest system
which is not merely centralizing all
powers in the General Government,
but is also permitting one department
to usurp and hold them, TO the utter
ruin of the other two. l deplore the
acquiescence of Congress- in these
usurpations.
There are i'll our Constitution checks
upon presidential power and ample
and efficient means by which Congress
can protect the States and people
against the unconstitutional action of
executive administration.
1t is only the consent of Congress
that makes it possible for the viii of
one man to wipe out all State author
ity, and with that authority all vestige
of free government.

vention of the Radical party for the
Fourth District, which met at Frank
linton last week and nominated Mr.. j.
a. Headen, of Chatham, for Congress,
one Chaplin denounced the Hon. W. A.
Smith, the present Radical Congress
man from that District, amidst the
overwhelming applause of the assem-
bled negroes, for having voted against
taking up the Civil Rights Bill, as the
man who had voted against giving
them their rights. Smith replied that
he would give the same vote again.
This announcement was received with
disfavor, and we suppose Major Smith
could not receive the nomination 1of
Constable from any negro constituent
cy in the State.

lures Of the bill in advance Of its pass

against the Civil Rights Bill, their
political masters, the blacks, demand

DEAD. DEAD.

The much talked of Civil Service
Reform movement has finally come to
great grief. Jealousy, favoritism and
self interest were too strong not to
throttle any scheme that slnacked or
pretended to smack of honesty. Beast
Butler we believe was the public ex-
ecutioner, or rather the coroner who
sat upon the dead body. President
Grant was the man who squeezed all
the breath out of it. The idea OF
merit controlling appointments to OF
flee when the appointing power Is
lodged in Grants hand is such pal
pable absurdity that the only wonder
is that the humbug has not long ago
been exploded

ERSs
Mr.. e. O. Davidson, late Granger
Lecturer, having announced himself
as " an independent farmers candi-
date for Congress-, in opposition to
Mr.. Ashe, the Changers in Anson
county have "gone for him. in series
of resolutions, one of which is as
follows:
Sd. That we regret and condemn the
steps taken by our brother and Lee
turer, Z. G.. Davidson, in announcing
himself farmers candidate TOR Con-
gress, as We think his course IS calcu-
lated to damage our order, and that
we will not support him.
The publication of the above reso-
luton has brought Nrr. Davidson out
in a card, in which he repudiates the
idea that he desires to be thought a
Granger candidate. He says:
| have not been announced as can
didate upon the idea Of securing the
support of the Patrons Of Husbandry
as a Granger, and claim no influence
on that ground whatever. therefore
the resolutions above cited have done
me great injustice, since the Grange
has 10 responsibility in connection
with nv announcement as 4 Farmer S
Candidate, being a tiller of the soil
myself. ! claim not, nor do [ ask, the
support Of Changers upon the ground
of Grange fellowship, and utterly re-
pudiate any idea of so impressing the
public mind as to lead it to conclude
that / ain q candidate Of the "P OF Z.
We are glad that the Changers have
thus set the seal of their disaprroba-
ton upon the course pursued by Mr..
Davidson in SO far as it tended to drag
their order into opposition to the nom
mess of the only party that IS battling
for the good of the country. indie

The annual meeting OF graduates OF
the Academy takes place at West Point
on the Thursday before the 18th of
June when that day is not Thursday.
This was done FOR the reason that the
graduates wished to connect the day
Of their annual meeting with the ami
versary OF the Battle OF Bunker Hill.
They wished also to connect it with
the Academic arrangements for the
graduating classes. Hence they Sc
lccted the Thursday before the 18th
June so that the anniversary of the
Bunker Hill battle and the anniversary
of their graduation might be brought
D nearly as possible together.
In accordance with the custom, the
annual meeting was held on Thursday
last, at which addresses were deliv-
cred and other proceedings had usual
on such occasions.
There was one thing done, however,
that was not usual to reunions Of Fed
eral army officers, and that one too marks
an innovation upon custom that may
indeed be truly said to be more hon
ored in the breach than the observ-
ance. What we refer to IS the fact
that after the roll call, under a suapen-
sion Of the rules, Professor Church, g
graduate of the class OF 1923, intro
duced by unanimous consent resolu-
tons inviting the attendance Of gradu-
ates Of West POINT, Southern as well as
Northern, at the Alumni dinner, which
will take place next year at the Acade-
my Oh the 18th June-the Centennial
Anniversary Of the hattie OF Bunker
I5;ll. The resolutions were unani-
mouslY and enthusiastically adopted.
