Rattorson in his desire for troops in
tho South only goes far to stamp
him moro plainly than ever as tho

any less Indicative Of that degree
Of sheer cowardico. which ssomo OF

The Textbook Scandal,

Tho report Of tho house com
mittee on privileges and ELECTIONS,
on the charges made against j.
ID. Robertson, representative from
Beaufort county, shows tint indi
yidual mp in a most disagrocnblc
light. Being q member of tho state
commission on textbooks In the
public schools, his keen eyo for
business soon saw good charc:
to turn his position to advantage. By
authority of tho commission he
placed himself in communication viii
several leading publishing houses ut
tho North, with q Wow to obtain
from them proposals for furnishing
tho public schools of the state with
books, charts etc. Robertson won't
about the task with tho manner of
q man that knows q good thing
when he seos it, and one determined
to receive bountifr,l pay for sor-
vices to the state ostonsibly
gratuitous. The gist of his pro
posals to tho several parties with
whom he corrosponded is embodied
in the following extract from the
committees report to tho house =
"rho gravity of Mr.. Robcrtson's
otfonce lios in tho fact Of his having
oilored to several publishers his
official influence to SECURE tho
adoption Of then books in con

reduction allowed to booksellers
Of forty per cont. from retail prices
and discount of ten per cont ad-
ditional, thus securing to Mr..
Robertson or tho agcnt whom he
named tho handsome porcentago of
forty-six por cent"
The, evidence adluced IN tho

A Lucky Escape.

.~ Some mon nro really lucky. james

just cause Of complaint, md it's
about time that they be reduced to

it is simply a lantter Of justice to-
those who pay the money into the
Golfers Of the state that it bo made

cause Of tho present groed for pub

1t is our opinion that the army Is not large
enough, at its present size, if 1t be kept up
simply as a means Of emptying the Treasury
and giving the War Department an opportu-
nifty to make such prodlgious estimates as that
for the ensuing fiscal year. 1t is not large
enough for the contractors. 1t is not large
enough to be symmetrical, in view of Gen.
Sherman's statement that there is one officer
for every sixteen men in the effective force.
Tits not large enough, if it be intended to
furnish comfortable places and large salaries
for great numbers Of supernumerary officers
and sinecurists, who have hardly anything to
do. 1t is not large enough, if it is to cos,
twice as much as it formerly did in times OF
peace. 1t is not large enough, if the country
is to get the full advantage Of the "social in.
fluence" it might exercise. It is not large
enough to justify the heavy salaries of some Of
it's figure heads. But otherwise it is too large

WASHINGTON, D. G, November 49,
The Republican Committee has received
intimations Of possibility thatthe Dem.
ocran may have decided to abandon
their claims to Louisiana, and to cOneen-
trate their influence and forces on Florida.
The gathering Of prominent Northern
Democrats there gives coloring to this
theory. The Republican Committee be.
came advised Of this on Sunday, and
during the day the President telegrsphed
to several prominent Republicans in New
York urgently requesting them to leave
for Florida with the utmost possible dis
patch. Two left this morning. Gov.
Hartranft, who arrived here to-day, may
also possibly 20 to Florida instead Of 70
South Carolina. Secretary Chandler tele.
graphed 10 Gov. Kellogg, at New Or.
leans, urging that some Of The Northern
sentlsmen there should go TO Florida,
but kellogg autographed back that II took
torty-eight hours TO get from New Or.
leans % Tallahassee, and thlt parties
could reach tho latter place sooner from
the North. Il l. very manifest that the
RepuSIicGn MANAGERS hefe, including the
Ca6inst, have more euxiety- NOV. about
Florida than about either Louisiana or
South Carolina, 80. .,-r - ~
