THRIFTY CONGREsSMEN.-1t appears that
for wears many members and senators who
keep house in Washington during the sit
tings of Congress have been in the habit OF
securing the employment by the Govern
ment during the recess Of their domestics,
thus saving their wages and being sure they
will be on hand when housekeeping is re-
sumed in the fail. In some eases coachmen,
cooks, chambermaidS, and even nurses have
been provided for. The places in the de-
partments pay large salaries and the duties
are light. Such situations are eagerly sought
by colored people and the whites OF the
poorer class, and if they cannot be at
tanned the next best thing is to go to
service with some influential senator or
member. At the end Of the session Of Con-
gress the senator goes to one Of the depart
mcnts and has his coachman put upon the
rolls; he goes to another department and
obtains employment for his cook, or his
man-seryant, or for both. In one case one
department furnished employment for three
servants Of senator at one time. These
servants do not lose sight OF their patrons
interests in the meantime, but take care OF
their houses, keep the moths out OF the fur
nit,lre, NOW the lawns, watch the stables,
and take care generally OF the property left
in Washington. In some cases demands
have been made for the discharge Of SOL
diers' widows TO make place for the cooks,
chambcrmaids, and nurses OF senator's

here, at this distance, hundreds Of miles LEI,
outside Of tile statc Of New York, would
not on the day the Convention assembled
include his name amongst those Of the pro-
bable competitors for the nomination. We
had seen and read his letter declining TO be a
candidate, and gave him credit for sincerity.
It is wholly unaccountable to us that sensi-
BILE men, astute politicians, lifelong leaders
OF party, should have allowed themselves
to be enticed into such blunder. Mr.. TIL
DEN was not there, or it would not have
been done. Mr.. DonsHEIAER was unable.
too, to take the lead, being himself an aspi-
rant to the office of Governor. But what
was Senator HERMAN thinking about?
1t is likely that new candidate will not
be brought before the people Of New York
sooner than the middle OF next week. In
the meantime the Republicans crow and the
Democrats grumblc and growl. 1t is time
for Mr.. T1LDEN to step to the front. lie
can bring order out of this chaos, and snatch
victory out OF the jaws Of defeat, as BOB
INGERsoLL said in nominating BLAINE.

There are 16l Germans in this city, OF
which number 9S are children and GO grown
persons. There are &c families, with 9S
children-an average Of about four to- each
family, which is Il tolerably good showing.
The largest number OF children in any one
family is eight. The Germans of Raleigh
own in money and real estate something
over S162, 200, which, divided by 161, would
be more than $1,000 to each man, woman,
and child.-Raieigk Sentinel. -
The new four-and-a-half per cent. loan,
aside from the fact that it reduces to such
an extent the amount required from the
Treasury to pay the interest on the public
debt, has had the effect OF approaching the
value Of our greenbacks, and consequently
the national-bank notes, gold having fallen
to 1904, the lowest figure touched since 1878.

MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA BOUNDARY Con-
MIss1oN.-Philadelphia, September 2.-The
case before the Maryland and Virginia
Boundary Commission here is proceeding as
rapidly as could be expected, with the vast
amount OF testimony and the many reports
OF the Legislatures and other documents
which have accumulated in the centuries OF
controversy.
The Attorney General OF Virginia finished
his speech this evening, having argued his
side of the case with ability and in the finest
temper. The counsel on both sides have
conducted the controversy before the Board
with singular urbanity and without the
least exhibition of undue warmth, though
very jealous on each side. Judge Robert
son speaks on Monday, and will speak for
Virginia, while General Jones, the former
Acknowledgement of Maryland, will sum up
finally for Maryland. Senator Whyte goes
home tonight to spend Sunday, and returns
to his post on Monday Correspondence

MISUNDERSTANDING Code OF vi,

-ADJUTAST-GENERAL.-The Code OF Vir-
ginia provides that the Governor may ap-
point any executive officer Adiutant-Gene-
ral The purpose of the Legislature in
making this provision of law was no doubt
to unite the duties OF Adiutant- General
with those OF some other officer, and thus
save good deal of money which would
otherwise be usclessly expended. But for
the long service and the popularity of GEN
eraI RICHARDSON the Legislature would
doubtless years ago have caused his office to
be merged in that of some other State offi-
Ger. The Governor will no doubt do what
the Legislature expected him to do when it
nasscd the law we have mentioned.

in this lower degradation OF the depths of
his poverty he says no one can ever know.

From Mr.. +. Mclaughlin, OF Chase,
we learn that OH Monday night last,
young man named Burlcy was mr.
rested by Constable Messenger, ri
Chase, OH complaint of one Miss
johnson. The accused il, we under
stand, u brother Of BarkOs Burley, and
the affair occurred ut the house Of the
latter, who, with all his family had
gone away from home, on visit.
1t seems the girl alleges that hurley
came to her homo, near Paris, and
represented that he had been sent by
n preacher to secure servant girl.
She came with him to his brothers
house, which he pointed out as the
house of the minister; saying that the
family was absent ut one of the neigh
bors, but would shortly return. She
waited till bedtime, and no family
appeared. AS the girl was preparing
to retire, Burley made the infamous
proposition to occupy the same room
with her for the night. She refused,
when he endcavorcd to enforce COM
pliancc with revolver; but the girl
clutled him, and succeeded In making
her escape out Of the door and ran to
the house of Mr.. Davis, about eighty
rods distant, where she told her story
and received protection.
Since the above was i'm type, we learn
from Prosecuting Attorney Warner
that the name Of the party accused IL
Noah hurley, and that II preliminary
examination before Justice Tanner,
Wednesday, resulted I'm Burlcy's being
bound over for appearance ut the next
term Of Circuit Court. Failing to give
bail I'm the sum Of 81 900 he was con-
vcycd to Jail ut Herscy, for safe keep
ing.
We learn that Levi Bovcc, j.. l..
Hargcr and others are engaged putting
In lumber mill on the North Branch,
on the town line between Wcbbcr and
Pleasant Plains townships. The mill
will he situated m Weber township,
but the lumber will I've shipped from
