TRuE-The Augusta CoaStitMionaIist has
this valuable item:
Thousands of cotton gins are needlessly
injured, if not entirely ruined, by one single
cause. That cause is permitting moat or lint
cotton, that is cotton that has been once
Rinned, to be mixed with seed cotton and pass
through the saws second time. such lint
cotton catches in the teeth and bends or
breaks them 1t also bends or breaks the
ribs. wears the boxes and strains the whole
gin SO as to make it produce bad sample,
and speedily becomes almost worthless. 1t
likewise increases the draft so as to distress
the mules propelling the gin, and creates SO
much friction as often to set the Clubhouse on
fire. Thus can be explained the burning of
many Clubhouse by the supposed spontane-
sspps combustion Of cotton.

Last winter Congress passed Q ridiculous
law for the reorganiZ ition of the Treasury
Department, providing that after January
the appointments shall be so arranged as to
be equally distributed between the several
States, Territories, and the District of Colum-
bis, according to population. This is putting
into practice under the sanction OF law the
pernicious theory that public officers should
DO appointed, not for their ability or fitness
to perform the duties required of them, but as
. reward for partisan services performed
either by themselves or their influential
friends; that the places of trust which are at
the disposal of government are to be regarded
Is plumber for distribution among its fol-
lowers.
For years the Federal patronage has been
distributed on this principle, and no more
effective way could possibly be devised for
demoralizing and degrading the civil service;
but formal legislation to command stricter
enforcement of the evil practice i, something
entirely new. OF course the object of the
law is to give Congressman in both Houses,
who think they have not received sufficient
consideration from the appointing powers,
opportunities for discharging at the expense
Of the public their personal obligations to
their strikers for political work in caucuses
and at the polls; and it would be difficult to
imagine o more unworthy reason for the
measure. No doubt many removals might be
made in the Treasury Department to the
great benefit of the public service; but in
this case those that will be made are most
likely to be of precisely the opposite char
acter.-N Y. Sun.

Wants and To Rentinserted in the BULLETIN for
fifty cents.

Appropos of the speakership, a Washing
ton letter says: elf Mr.. Randall should
fail to be elected Speaker, it will not be for
lack Of the most prodigious effort. A South
,ern member of Congress states that he has
received several letters from Mr.. Randall on
the subject Of the speakership, and probably
fifty from his friends. 1t is further said that
every member from the South has been per-
sonally appealed to on behalf of Mr.. Randall.
So far as Is known. however, but one South
ern member is committed absolutely to the
support of Mr.. Randall, and that is Gov.
Walker, Of Virginia. I
sMost of the Southern members who have
written here on the subject express q strong
preference for Mr.. Kerr. A very amusing
circumstance in connection with the ques-
ton of the House patronage is found in the
CLAIMS which are put forth by many OF those
holding the most lucrative positions on the
House side, that they have and always have
been Democrats. Il Is speaking within bounds
to say that at least one-third of the present
officers Of the House have on such pleas as
the above announced their expectation of re-
manning in under the Democrats"
There can never be peace in Mississippi or
any other Southern State, during political
contest, so long as it pays carpet Dagger to

looked upon by the planter as years of peace,
Of good crops and steady labor. When the
Republican party has been consigned to the
tomb of the Capulets, or ceased to be Sec

Il viii be subject Of surprise that q brave
people should have submitted SO long, so
famely, and with so little resentment, to the
outrages, and plunderings Of the carpet
Dagger, and the insults, mobs and riots OF the
negro. Hope alone that the eyes of the North
would be opened, and that they wouldIbe per-
mitted to regulate their State governments
without Federal Intervention, has sustained
them in their efforts to preserve peace. With
the exit Of the G. B., who has lived and rob-
bed his hour upon the stage, peace and quiet
will be restored-the exciting cause being re-

zACHARIAH WHISTLES WITH SIMON
GREAT DISGUST OF SIMON CAMERoN-wHY THE
INTERIOR sECRETARYsHIP WAS NOT GIVEN
TO PENNSYLVANIA.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-There is bad blood
between the President and Simon Cameron.
It seems that on last Saturday the ex Secretary
of War came down from Pennsylvania to get
the Secretaryship for ex-Congressman Sco
field, of Erie. The President, who was in
no humor to see him much less to listen to
the demand snubbed him.
Ex-senator Chandler heard of the trouble,
and knowing Cameron's peculiar disposition,
he went up to the hotel where Cameron was
stopping on Sunday afternoon to console him.
Chandler had been selected for 1t, if not ap-
pointed to, the Secretaryship two weeks ago,
but Cameron did not know it. Cameron was
still angry, and on such occasions he always
repeats his sentences. Both were standing
before the fireplace when the
AMUSING PART OF THE INTERVIEW
took place. The gentleman from Michigan
spit tobacco juice continually, while his
Pennsylvania friend scratched the pimple on
his Sewardian nose until it bled. Simon re-
peated dozen times: 81 am going homo to-
night" and as often as he said it Zachariah
entreated:
SHOW, Simon, don't go tonight Stay
little longer. There will be better chance
TO morrow"
Cameron rejoined: "No, I am going on
the next train. This is hell of time, any
way. If ask for the appointment OF door
keeper UfhuI says, CduicIOu Wcuto O'CiJ-
thing If want clerk appointed in the
department Grant says, Cameron wants
everything l am going home on the next
train. Damn the administration, anyhow.
Then the good Zachariah wrestled with his
old Senatorial ally again.
Snow don't talk that way, Simon. Things
will be better tomorrow" And all the while
he was thinking of his own appointment two
weeks before as Mr. Delano's successor, which
Mr.. Cameron did not appreciate in the way
that his friend would have him.
During Cameron's brief visit he was asked
to do favor for friend, to which he invari-
ably replied
81 cant do anything until after the Penn
sylvania election then may have some au-
thority."
The friend demonstrated with him for his
representation, and assured him that the
State would surely go Republican. To which
the venerable politician said:
81 don't know about that; better pray for
it." and his face beame1 with ironical smiles.
Cameron left on the next train.
It is understood that Cameron has demanded
10 much OF the administration that Grant
would stand IL no longer, and resolved to as
sert his Independence of the great power
which has ruled Pennsylvania for SO many
years.-LOiisuiAe Courier, Journal.

Mrs. c. A. QuINBY,-One Of the Visiting COM
miaee Of the asylum for the Insane in Maine:
CHRISTIAN LADY As visited this Institution
by letter of introduction from you, wish to report
to you how l was received, the condition in which
found the Institution, and the great pleasure
enjoyed on the occasion.
l spent yesterday afternoon and last night at the
Asylum. First OF all, c. Il. Lakn Esq, the eff
cient steward, took me all over the grounds, and
through the stables, and showed me all that per-
tanned to that part Of the establishment, and every
thing appeared In most excellent condition. The
stock and swine seem to be very choice, and the
stables neat and IN excellent ORDER |, however,
care but little, comparatively, about these things
Gods unfortunate childrer-my suffering brethren
and sisters of the human family-are what l am
most interested in,-neary four hundred of whom
found in this Institution, partially or entirely
bereft Of their reason. DR.. II. NJ. Harlow. the
kind Superintendent, received me most cordially,
and allowed me every privilege l desired. Dr.
Sanborn, Assistant Superintendent, Mrs. A. j.
Hall, Ma,ron, as well as all the other officers of
the establishment, and the attendants, extended to
me every facility for investigation, and every &C.
commodaton l desired, in the kindest spirit; and
l came away with the impression strongly fixed in
my mind, that DR.. Harlow and lady. as well as all
the officers and attendants under him, are well
fitted for the places they fill and practice the lesson
and spirit taught in the 18th chapter of Pauls lst
Episle to the Corinthians, more nearly than those
of any other institution | have ever visited
This institution is, indeed, an honor to the State
and those who have it in charge.
As more room is needed, in consequence Of the
close quarters of some who are already in the In
stitution and other cases that should have accom-
mediation, perhaps it would be well to call the
attention OF the wealthy to the duties mentioned
in the 9TH chapter of James, and in due time per-
feet what should be begun without delay. The
chapel is not by any means what it should be, but
understand fiAe building is soon to be erected,
not only for this purpose but for recreation which
is all-essential. But l found so much here to
praise and thank God for, that don't feel to speak
Of any necessity that may exist.
