the Bureae Of Statistics are concerned. Arc
the members of the committee aware,
and, if 80, have they bestowed q Thought
upon the subject, that the clerks OF the
Bureau Of Statistics were excluded from
the enefits or the bill for the reorganization
OF the Treasury Department, which went
into operation last year? Are they aware
that the principal clerks (chiefs of divi
siOns, &c. } received considerable augmenta-
tions TO their salaries last year in every
bureau Of the Treasury Department except
that of Statistics? And. this being the
age from the salaries of those whose sala-
ries were not increased as is deducted
from those whose salaries were in
creased? The Bureau was exempt
ed from the benefits of the reorgani-
zation bill last year. being held in abey
ance pending the action of Senator Win
doms bill, which contemplated an enlarge
ment of the functions of the Bureau, but
which finally resulted only in the creation
of an additional division for the collection
of the statistics of our internal commerce.
We simply desire to call the attention OF
Congress and of the country to the fact
that this committee, with few fiourishes
of its goose quill, and with reckless dis
regard of the requirements Of the public
service, and of the facts upon which en-
lightened legislation should be based, en-
deavors to enervate and criminally embar-
rass the several Departments Of the
Government. This is economy" with a
vengeance
National Republican., 1876-03-25

TnE first dJty oi the Government is to
redeem its promises. The difference
between crccnbacks and bonds is just the
same is CASTS between 4 merchant due
bill which tc r-vcr prctcnds 10 redeem,
EXCEPT il certain kinds Of goods, and mis-
negotiable no;e,. uItnring at fixed date,
and bearing interest, which are both
promptly raid wien due. The latter is
good as gold, because it Will bring gold in
market. The former is good for nothing
except at greatly deprecated prices, be-
cause it will only procure certain kinds of
merchandise Now, what DO We say of a
merchant who not only falls to make good
his due bills, but also refuses to fund them
in negotiable intcrest-bearing notes: Do
we not denounce HIM as 4 swindler: Here
is a Government cheapenin% the purchas
ing power of eight hundred million Of
currency by the persistent refusal to redeem
its promises, cit her in coin or its eQuiva-
lent, negotiable bonds which would COM
maud gold IN the market The redemp-
tion of two hundred million Of legal tenders
(at the very most would cause all of the
rest Of our currency to appreciate to par
with gold. The remaining hundred and
fifty million would be needed for bank
reserves and the redemption of national
currency, being more valuable and con.
vcnient for such purposes in the shape of
paper than coin, would never be presented
for redemption in either gold or bonds.
Let Congress give the Secretary of the
Treasury authority to issue two hundred
million Of four per cent. redemption bonds

CONGRESS REFUSING BREAD AND SPORT
. ING WITH DEATH

The direct and earnest attention OF mem
bers of Congress. individually and cell
lectively, is called TO the article on our
first page, which embodies in cpistolary
form the present circumstances ola few of
the persons lately employed in the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing. We have on
our table al least six hundred similar let
tiers and propose to find room for the
greater part Of them. They all breathe
one and tho same spirit, and uniformly de-
clare the same destitution. These letters,
without preface to ornate composition,
tell 4 story of misery with a passion born
of suffering and with an eloquence that
will move the most inGurated Congress
sional soul TO action We cast no partisan
blame and avoid partisan appeal. We
speak to men and brethren who have the
power to relieve distress. avert starvation
and win the favor Of Heaven. Never
vet in America has there been
heard such 4 volume of soTroWful sounds.
Never have such mournfui cadences been
heard in the nations capital Never did
such a cry Of despair 60 up from American
womcn and helpless children TO the law
making power. 1t is mighty appeal from
heart to heart, from home to home, from
the shadows of desClation to the Palace of
Plenty, and from the very sepulchre of
want to those who are able to roll away the
stone Mothers, widows sisters, orphans,
innocent babes, the sick, the afflicted, the
starving and dying unite in prayer to Con-
gress for that appropriation which will ena-
BILE them TO breathe free again. For them this
morning there is no sunshine, only darkness;
for them this evening there will be
no stars, only blackness; wan with care,
pinched for food, shivering with cold, suf-
fering for medicines, frightened by cruel
creditors, driven from their shelter, ex-
posed to temptation, but sublimely trusting
in Heaven, they hold out almost against
hope for deliYerance. Will Congress
longer delay: Their work must be per
formed.
DUTY, stern dsush Of the voice OF GOd,'
| demands It. The Great-motner heart o.
the country appeals for it. The honor of
American gentlemen forbids its neglect.
| and until il is done this cry will ring in
their ears Again we press the testimony
ofthe suffering upon the attention of Con-
gress, and again and again We shall do so
until the purpose IS accomplished.

XU-KLUX AT WORK AGAIN.

Private letters received from Georgia
convey the startling Intelligence that Ku-
KluX organizations il that State have again
commenced TO practice their deeds of
blood. In the county of Columbia two
negroes were killed last week, and over a
dozen were taken from their homes and
severely whipped, four Of the number
having been tortured by having hot seal
ing.waX dropped upon their naked bodies.
In the counties of Burke, Jefferson and
Chatham similar OUtragcs have been per-
petrated in the past fifteen days, and in the
vicinity of Macon three negroes were found
hanging 10 trees in the ncighborhood of o
leading Democrat. These inhunanities
were evidently impellcd by the recent
Democratic defeat in New Hampshire.
Somebody in Georgia must receive the
vials Of wrath, and they are poured out
upon the heads Of inoftensive colored men
and women, whose only crimes are that
they belong TO despised race and are Re-
publicans. Hundreds of negroes are an
nually offered up as sacrifices to Demo
cratic hate in God -forsaken Georgia, and
yet only a few Of the instances are known,
as Democratic newspapers are careful
not TO give publicity to such facts.
and the two or three Republican
papers there seem to be afraid to allude to
them. History presents no instance where
the peasantry ofa country were ever sub
jected to such inhumanities as are the
negroes of the South, especially in Georgia.
Robbed of their labor and all its fruits,
they drag out wretched existence, and
in many instances it is a real relief when
these victims are taken from their homes
by painted rufiians and put to death.
Thus, on the eve Of the twentieth century,
in the midst of country which boasts oI
its liberty, American citizens are treated,
and yet we are told by the willy Lamar
and the philosophical @ Gordon that the
kindliest of relations exist between the
races in the South, and that the only thing
needed down there is for the Government
TO withdraw its protecting arm and allow
peace and quiet to reign. Alas for such
peace and quiet, for it will be that o.

The COMMITTEES on APPROPRIATIONS
VERSUS TIE CIVIL-sERVICE.

1t hss been asserted by Mr.. Randall,
chairman OF the Committee on Appropria-
tions, thai the reductions provided for in
his bill were bIscd upon thorough investi-
CATION and positive knowledge, and he
would 1ain convey the idea to the country
that the committee Simply desired the dis
missal of those only whose services were
not required by the needs or cxigcncies of
the public service. To this assertion we
are able to advance an emphatic and uuc-
:.uiyucal contradiction, so far, at least, as
one bureau in Tie Treasury Department is
concerned, and we do not doubt that ia
quiTy will develop the fact that the bureau
in question will be found 10 occupy, by no
means. an isolated exception. The COM
mittec recommends a sweeping and disas.
trous reduction in the clerical force of the
Bureau Of Statistics, the effect of which
not utterly destroy, the efficiency and util-
ity of that important branch Of the public
service. Now, the public should know that
not single member of the Committee on
Appropriations visited this bureau for the
purpose of uscertaining whether the work
therein performed, or any portion thereof,
is or is not necessary, or whether the cleri.
eel force engaged in the prosecution Of the
work Is too great OF too small. This is Ger
tsinly -sry questionable mode Of legis-
Iafing ser IN Intelligent people. Make a
note Of T.
Again, the committee claims that the
uniform reduction Of ten per centum on
salaries falls with equal fairness upon all
This We deny, so far as tAr employees of
