"CoSFEDERATE" WoRK.--On the 10th
Of October thirty clerks in the Post
Office Department, and one hundred
and forty in the Interior Department,
will be discharged. Another result Of
Democratic rotrenchment and reform.
Those men drew out of the Treasury
from 81, 200 to $4,000 each, and did not
do one hours work in three days
Hence, in this single Reform move
ment on the part OF the Democrats,
over one hundred thousand dollars will
be saved to the taxpayers Accord.
ing to DR.. Franklin's rule of political
economy, one dollar saued, IS t,co dollars
earned. Hence, we must look upon
"thc Confederate House," with some
respect because It has made sub
staniial reduction in our public bur.
thens.

The GoNo.-Thc Cameron.Hayes-
Belknappers organized q club in this
place. They resolved that the sale Of
cadet and post-traderships should go
on, and that no part Of the moral code
had been infringcd upon by their
friends, or words to that effect. "Bab," !"
~Sylph," Crooked whisky" agents, and
all the other political harlots were en-
dorsed. -

SLAVE AND MAsrER.-Forney hates
Cameron as sublimely as the veriest
outlaw; yet he deigns to lick the salt
out of Cameron's hand, and smacks his
lips over it. Brave menl Pennsyl.
vania produces no other two men like
them-guilty of all manner of political
crimes against person and property,
and yet lead the party controlled by
grand moral ideas" Verify, when
will miracles cease and statesmen re.
sumo the places occupied by cheap
rogues.

We are informed by gentleman, who
was in position to hear the consulta-

for his Indianapolis speech, and assured
him that if elected, he would carry out
faithfully the present policy of the
leaders of Grants Administration. Gov.
Hayes also stated to Morton that he
was anxious to have Grants Admins

tackled at none, as he believed that the
success of the party depended upon
standing by each and every act OF that
Administration. This ought to be
