Fence Men in Office.

WAsHISGToN. ID. c.. october 10, 1876.
To the Editor ofthe National Republican:
SIR: You have a communication in this
mornings REPUBLICAN on "Fence Men in
Ofice," which induces me to say a word or
two. Circumstances have placed me in po-
sition 10 know something of the manner in
which the late discharges required by the Con-
federate House have been made. The heads
of the Departments cannot be too highly COM
mended for the bold stand they have taken in
this matter. AS the Democratic House re-
quired 765 clerks and employees to be
discharged, the Secretaries determined to
discharge Democrats wherever they could be
found. Enough have been found to fill the
bill, but the Secretaries find one difficulty to
contend with. Some of the heads of important
bureaus are either themselves Democrats or
sympathizers with Democratic employees, and
strive to retain them on the plea that these
men are indispensable to the service. Captain
Maryatt, in one of his novels, makes one Of his
characters say that another one had eaten a
great deal of "fapdoodle," and he explained
that "fapdoodle" was ssthe stuff on which
fools are fed" l am very much of the opinion
that these heads of bureaus habitually eat
"fapdoodle." There are men who are good,
active Republicans, believing in the principles
of the party and working for its success, who
are as well qualified and better entitled to any
position in the Departments than any Demo-
crat. A little wholesome decapitation of some
of these 'heads" would not be amiss. could
name some of these bureau heads alluded to,
and will be glad to do so, If called on by the
proper authorities, with ample evidencs to
prove what assert. h.
National Republican., 1876-10-18

'REv." J. W. DUNGEE, colored, who is
now canvassing Virginia for the Democratic
party, in late speech at Lynchburg gave
utterance to the following atrocious senti-
ment, which we commend to the especial
attention of the colored people, whom he is
endeaVoring to seduce. Speaking of free
dom, he said:
t'Why, colored men, Lincoln was a pet
tifogging demagogue, and was continually
boWfDg the knee to slavery, and had he not
been driven to it, would never have issued
the proclamation"
Referring to the Irish race, Duugee used
the following complimentary language, that
must be especially refreshing to ex-Mayor
Kelley, of Richmond, whose party employs
this refined and dignifed orator:
"You colored people have been told that
there were many instances wherein the Irish
had been good friends, quoting from the speech
of 0'CoRnen in the British Parliament, aud
saying many things to prove his position.
tell you that the Irish race are a brutal and
inferior set of people, and the bitterest enemies
of the earth. 1t was these damnable Irish that
in 1868, and warn you colored people to avoid
an Irshman as you would snake"
The Democratic papers Published in
Lynchburg say that Dungee's speech was
one of the best ever delivered in that city.
Further comment is unnecessary.

THE reunion of the Army of the Ten
nessee to-day promises to be q brilliant
affair With favorable weather, the dis
play at the unve;ling of the equestrian
statue of the gallant Mcpherson will be
quite imposing and in keeping with the
solemn grandeur of the occasion. Else,
where will be found graphic sketch of the
splendid military career of the Army of
the Tennessee and its lamented young COM
mander in whose honor, and to the perpet-
uation of whose memory, the ceremonies
of this day are to be chiefly devoted. The
committee of arrangements, of which Gen.
W. T. Clarke is the chairman, have been
indefatigable in their efforts to render the
exercises of the day appropriate, gratifying
to the participants and successful as a
whole. We trust that these efforts will be
supplemented by the presence, counte-
nance and cooperation of all the patriotic
citizens of the District
National Republican., 1876-10-18

WE HAVE always favored civil service
reform. That is, we have always wanted
honest and competent men to fill all the
official positions in the civil service, from
the messengers who run errands through
all the intermediate grades to the cabinet
officers themselves The great difference
between the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN and
the shriekers after civil service reform is that
we believe and know that there are enough
active, working Republicans who are thor
oughly competent to discharge the duties
of any position in the civil service, and who
should be preferred by Republican ad-
ministrstion. We are glad to know that
this idea seems to be fully impressed upon
the Administration. that it is generally liv-
ing up to this doctrine, and that in the dis
charges that have been made under the re-
ductioa forced by the Confederate House of
Representatives most of the Democrats in
National Republican., 1876-10-18

ELSEWHERE in this issue will be found
the proclamation of the President COM
manding the South Carolina rifle clubs to
disperse and retire peaceably to their
homes, supplemented by instructions from
the Secretary of War to the General Of
the Army to SO dispose of all his available
troops in the turbulent vicinity as to insure
obedience to the proclamation. This
means business, and is just what is needed
in the premises. 1t is just such prompt
action as ''Old Hickory" visited upon the
nullifers of the same State, in 1882, and
will be approved by all law-and- order
communities throughout the country.
National Republican., 1876-10-18

THE Democratic newspapers, particu
larly the Baltimore Gazette and New York
Sun, are very indignant at the proposition
to send troops to South Carolina and force
Wade Hampton's banditti to disperse,
They mendaciously assert that this is an
effort to overawe both white and colored
voters and force the latter to vote the Re
publican ticket This is a lie from whole
cloth, and its inventors know it Troop:
are demanded in South Carolina to STOP
the wholesale murder of colored men by
the banditti sabre clubs under the leader
ship of Sitting Bull Butler and Bashi Ba
zouk Gary.

WHAT becomes of liberty under the Consti-
tuition when q shameless carpet bagger can
oVerturn q whole State and garrison it with
Federal troops? This is the South Carolina
problem.-Bdltinore Gazette.
What will become of liberty if sabre and
rife clubs-armed banditti composed of
blatant rebels-are allowed to overawe a
majority of the legal electors and capture
the election precincts by force2 This is
the real South Carolina problem.
National Republican., 1876-10-18

specting the manGuverlng of the troops in
the South has the ring of the true metal
It's effect upon the banditti will be electric.
1t will develop their little game in its true
colors at once or it will cause them to sub
side into their former hypocritical role of
pretended loyalty and Centennial gush.
At all events, they will learn that the maj
esty of law is to be yindicated,

the service have been requested "to step
down and out" But there are few left,
and some OF them in positions where they
can do much harm. All such should be
removed at once and the good work Of
cleaning the Democrats out Of the Depart
ments completed.
