How the Money is sreut.

Here is one of the methods OF spending
tire public money. One Richard ]. Hinton,
Of Washington, having been dismissed
from the pension Office on the charge of
"not having performed any duty as clerk
for year or two," that much injured and
highly indignant individual comes forward
with personal explanation. lie makes an
affidavit in which he states that he was
placed on the pay roll of the pension Office
at a salary of $1,000, on account of pOlti-
cal and clerical services he was rendering
as secretary of the Republican Resident
Executive Committee during the last pres
idential campaign. He was appointed a
pension clerk not to serve the public but
the republican party, and he properly re-
sents the assertion that he has been neg
leoting his duties for year or two. Mr..
Hinton further declares in his affidavit that
this was done with the knowledge and CON
sent of Secretary Delano, and through the
efforts of Senators Edmunds and Chandler
and ex-Secretary Harlin, proprietor of the
Washington Chronicle The republican
committee wanted an intelligent clerk, and
nothing was easier than to put him on the
rolls of the pension Office so that he might
draw his pay from the public treasury in
stead of the party funds, which were need
ed for other purposes. The ezpoSO has
made quite an excitement in Washington.

THE election of q Senator, from Mass,
in place of Chas. Summer, seems to be a
difficult oDeration. The balloting began
on Tuesday last, and has been kept up for
one hour each day since, The last vote
reported, was as follows: Dawes, 95 /;
Hoar, IS; Curtis, IA Adams, 10; Banks,
2 scattering, 4. Eight members absent
Necessary to choice, 1877. Dawes is the
fayorite of the administration and Butler
while Hoar is the candidate of the Repub-
lioans, who are opposed to Grant and But
ier. 1t is possible the latter faction may
unite with the Democrats, and secure the
election of Banks.

THE new ten cent note is fraud ON the
people. The old one is far more preferable.
Rvery change seems to be for the worse,
and by the time one more is made, the
public will demand that the fractional cur
rency give place to coin, even if it be al
lOyed, so as to greatly reduce its value, and
prevent its use for any other purpose. The
change of plates, for printing these notes
is ian expensive operation, and this cost
certainly had better be saved, unless an
improvement is made.

THE English are determined to do away
with bribery in elections, if legal enactments
are of avail. The new election law makes
the payment even Of travelling expenses ille-
gal, if the agent knows the elector is about
10 vote for his candidate. Some OF the con-
victions under the law are very amusing to
all except the convicted parties. For exam
pie, Baron Grant announced previous to the
election that on a certain day thereafter he
would give supper and display offireworks
and that those who should attend would be
presented with rosette and badge bearing
his portrait The judicial authorities con-
strued this as an illegal inducement. Really
the British elector must be made of different
stuff from his American brother to be infu-
enced by the promise of badge and arcsette.
Even an election supper is not ordinarily a
feast for the gods, and should not warp a
mans judgment to any extraordinary extent.

A LIST OF OUTRAGEs.-The following is a
condensed statement of some of the current
outrages in the southern states:
On Friday last passenger train on the Ala
bama and Chattanooga railroad was stopped
at York station, in Alabama, by false signal,
and the colored mail agent was taken by
masked citizens and murdered, simply because
his skin was black. In the same state, in Lee
county, a gang of Ku-Klux (now known as
"white men, ~ made brutal assault upon a
negro congregation peacefully engaged in Sun
day evening worship, killed and wounded sever
al, and burned the church. Congressman HAYS
of Alabama, Republican, belongs in a district
where the colored voters have majority of ten
thousand. But he does not dare visit Sumter
comfy for fear of assassination, and says that
if the election were held to-day the intimida-
ton is so great that hardly any negro votes
would be polled. Mr.. Hays is not a CARPET
Dagger. but native of Alabama, graduate of
the University of Georgia, and has devoted his
life to cotton-planting and agricultural pursuits
Congressman Perham of the same state. also a
Republican. was recently compelled to fix nv
night from his district to escape conspiracy
against his life. Mr.. Perham is native Of
North Carolina, but since his third year of age
has lived in Alabama, and served in the con-
federate army. His crime, like that of Mr..
Hays, is that he dared to join the Republican
party Judge Martin, sixth auditor of the
treasury, resident of Alabama. left his home
and returned to Washington, feeling that his
life was unsafe because he was a Republican.
And long list of similar incidents might be
mentioned to show the condition of affairs in
this state.
The outrages in Tennessee are fresh in mind,
the latest being the dastardly murder of col
ored school teacher in one county, and the
lynching of sixteen negroes in another.
There is a tedious monotony in this style of
news from the southern states, showing gen
eral revival of the feeling which crODDed out in
the Ku-Klux uutrages, and was only Suppressed
