A FALskEOOD EXPOSED.

A week ago, when it became known
that the Cabinet had decided to re-
move the troops from the South Caro-
lima State House and intimated that a
similar course would be pursued in
Louisiana the extreme Radicals who
believe in maintaining State govern
ments not chosen by the people with
Federal bayonets, asserted that Tilden
had commenced proceedings to GUST
Hayes from the White House by legal
process. The lawyer in the case was
said to be r. T. Merrick, of Washing
ton, who upon being interviewed on
the subject denied that quo warranto
proceedings had been commenced or
that any steps for such purpose had
been taken. The object Of the report,
which was telegraphed throughout the
country, was undoubtedly to brighten
Hayes and get him to countermand the
order for the removal of troops from
Chamberlain support and give the
radical press an opportunity to rehash
their campaign falsehoods about Tilden.

AN ELECTION FoR POSTMASTER

In the town of Fremont. Ohio, the
home Of President Hayes. there were
several applicants for the position of
Postmaster, to fill vacancy created by
xne resignation of 5. j. Snyder. As
the President did not wish to make u
dozen enemies and only one friend by
appointing one of the applicants. he
sug sested through his friends that an
e,ection be held and that the person
receiving the highest number of votes
would be appointed. In accordance
with these suggestions, mass meeting
was held aud five candidates were
named tor the posit. on. An election
was neld last week, at which George }.
Krebs received 255 votes against 245
votes divided among his four oppo-
nents. He was declared elected aud
Immediately appointed by the Presi-
dent at salary of 81, 200 year. AS
tnis plan of electng postmasters is APP
proved by the President, it is likely TO
be adopted throughout the country as
being the fairest way of determining
who should hold such offices and more
in accordance with the spirit of our in
stitutions than the old method.
