Gov. Hampton is grleved because
some South Carolina school trustees
are unable to read or write. 1t may
console him to learn that there are
some murky Democratic districts in
New Jersey which are decorated
with officials quite as densely litter
ate, and Mr.. jays COMMITTEE is dis
covering that the United States Gov
eminent occasionally commissions
gentlemen to sit in the receipt of
customs whose time has been
so thoroughly occupied in the
serious business of fixing primaries
and in other patriotic duties that
they too have neglected these orna-
mental accomplishments. 1t ought
to be added that all of these inlet
tered citizens are expert to affix a
very persuasive cross to a pay roll or
money order, so that the country is
probable safe.

Postmaster General Kew is said

Postmaster General Key is said to
have written as follows to his brother
in letter which is published in the
Chattanooga Times. "To give the
President the power to carry out his
Southern policy it is important that
he have majority in both Houses
favorable to his Administration.
Wether he shall have this majority
depends upon the Southern Demo.
Gratis. If they oppose the Admins
tration. elect Northern Democrat,
such as Randall or Sayler, to the
Speakorship, and ally themselves
with the disaffected Republicans to
fight the Administration, he will be
compelled to use his official patron
age in such way as to give him
strength in his own party. Whereas,
should Southern Democrats wisely
extend him asupport, he will be able
to deal his patronage to them liber-
ally. and revolutionize the system of
Federal patronage which has existed
in the South since the war. South.
ern Democrats now have the power
to redeem the South, if they see
proper to use it. The President is
firm and determined in his Southern
policy, if the South will give him the
support necessary to carry it out. In
my opinion the true method for the
Democratic party in the South to
protect itself and maintain its sue
cessful organization, is for that party
to declare in favor of Mr.. Hayes adj
ministration, not as Republicans, but
as Democrats, upon his Southern
policy. If the Presidents Southern
policy fails, the Southern Democratic
party will be to blame for it; the peo-
pie will know it and hold it respon.
sible."

AnnOtlnce the Names.

We do not often borrow sugges-
tions from our Democratic contem-
poraries, but the convention of Mont
gomery, adopted a rule which we
think desirable for our party and
our county to follow. 1t was re-
solved that no name should be con-
sidered before the county convention
for any Office at the coming election,
that had not been announced for
sometime previous to the meeting OF
the convention, as seekers and will
ing to serve in case the convention,
when 1t met. should favorably con-
slider bis name. f+
The advantages Of this plan are,
that no new name is apt to be
sprung upon a convection, and no
party likely to be nominated whose
selection would be distasteful to any
considerable class in thS county. Ii

Colonel A. X. Mcclure is in Wash.
ington, taking a close view of the
methods of the Administration, and
the results of his inspection are es-
pecially gratifying. He finds an
"atmosphere of frankness that puts
all the skill of management at fault,
and the trade of political manipula-
ton seems to be out of date" He
has talked with the President, and
is sure the postponement of the ex-
ira session was his act, because Mr..
Hayes believes the Country most
needs repose from political and finan-
cial agitation, and that a summer
and fall of rest will bring Congress
back to the Capital we'll prepared by
the faithful Offices of patriotic public
opinion for the dispassionate consid-
Grafton of vital measures likely to
demand legislation" He believes
the President does not shrink from
criticism, and is convinced he meant
to,reform the civil service. He adds:
s'The President is frank aud outspo-
ken as to his purpose to recommend
a liberal system of public improve
ments, to embrace the rapid prosecu-
ton of such public buildings and
other Government enterprises as
have been begun and must be COM
pleted sooner or later, and such other
Improvements of a national charac-
ger as may be dictated by sound pub
lie policy. While it is not assumed
that the Government must find EN-.
ployment for idle labor, it will be
urged that in period of general
prostration in industrial circles it
should not add to the widespread
suffering by the suspension or post
ponement of its necessary improve
ments.

Looking at American politics from
sufficient distance to give its view
a judicial character, the Pail NAL
Gazette predicts: "The disappear.
ance of the negro question makes it
certain that the South will, in few
years, be broken up into sections up
on questions of tariffs, taxations, and
the like, and probably the Union
will be strengthened by alliances be-
tween Northern and Southern States
upon all the ordinary issues of poll
tics" ...

Was prayer answered? The people
of Minnesota observed last Thursday
as day of fasting and prayer in

gives each district and locality an
opportunity to select and press for
nomination their most acceptable
men, and prevents, in large meas
ure, any attempt to ''pack" a con-
vention in the interest of any obnox-
ious ''cliaue" or "ring."
Since Bannon has been here on
business" we doubt if this course
will be followed by our Democratic
friends, but we hope our Republicans
will "face the music" and say frank
ly what they want and submit them
selves to such criticism as may lead
to win a popular decision as to who
shall carry our flag in the coming

Randall's canvass for the Speaker
ship gets hard blow from an article
in the New Orleans Democrat ar
raigning him as a persistent enemy
to Southern and western interests.
This means that the South demands
a man in the chair who will help
along the Texas Pacific Railroad and
liberal appropriations for internal
improvements, and the Democrat
thinks that Milton Sayler will about
fill the bill.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Democratic st. Louis Republican,
having exhumed our own Maddox
as candidate for doorkeeper of the
House, that paper walks into him
savagely. 1t tells him that "his own
testimony left him with very little
character, and he has no right to de-
mand rewards from the Democratic
party. 1t is impossible to be believe
that he will receive single vote,
and any Democrat who votes for him
should be read out of the party.

dent that the Gar had begun to real
ize that his action had been precipi-
tate, and that an early armisticr was
very probable. On being asked
wether he thought England would
declare war in the event of the rapid
advance of the Russians in Asia or
on the Danube, the Minister replied
that that would depend entirely up
on the extent of the advance and the
ability displayed by the Turks to
defend Constantinople. He said the
British Government regarded the
Car as having pledged himself to
stop with the occupation of Bulgaria
as a material guarantee for the reform
demanded of Turkey, and that any
advance of the Russians forces be-
yond this limit, or any policy look
ing to the permanent occupation of
Turkish territory in Asia, would be
taken by England as casus belli.-

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE ARMY.
New YORK, May S.--The Tri6,oae'S
Washington dispatch says The
subject was two or three times seri-
ously discussed in Cabinet whether
it might not be wise and patriotic
and expedient to decline to call an
extra session of Congress altogether,
and to permit the army to be dis
banded. The argument of the mem
bers of the Cabinet who favored this
plan was substantially this: Con-
gress, by its action in refusing an APP
preparation, has expressed its opin-
ion that the army was not needed !;
that it would be becoming in the
Executive TO recognize this opinion,
and give it its full force that the
country was in state of profound
peace, and about to enter into a new
era of prosperity that the real theo-
ry of the American republic is that
among its citizens are enough able.
we'll conditioned, obedient loyal
men ready at any moment to spring
to the defence of the country at the
tap of the drum that the Governors
of the frontier States are quite will
ing and able to protect their own
frontiers without the army; that
there is no national exigency which
requires the existence of the army,
and that as there is no money to pay
for its support, and as Congress has
not thought its services necessary,
the President would inform the army
that under the laws he has no service
tor them to do, and that so far as the
Executive is concerned the army of
the United States might cease to be.
This plan was supported by as good
a lawyer as Chief Justice Cartier, of
the Supreme Court of the District,
and it is said that vote even was
taken upon it in Cabinet, and that
three of those present heartily IA
vored it. While others could not
consent, it was argued that under
the law and the constitution, in
view of the action of Congress, such
a proceeding on the part of the Ex-
ecutive would certainly have been
regular, and doubtless would have
received the approval of the A meri-
can DeODle.

LONDON, May 5.-Mr. Thos. Car
lyle, in a letter to the Times on the
Eastern question, says: A rumor
prevails that Mr.. Disraeli, despite
the Queens neutrality proclamation,
intends to send the English fleet to
the Baltic, or do some other feat
which shall compel Russia to declare
war against England. Latterly the
rumor has shifted from the Baltic,
and become still more sinister on the
eastern side of the scene, where a
feat is contemplated that will force
not Russia only, but all Europe to
declare war against us. This latter
he says he has come to know as an
indisputable' fact. He advises tax.
ing charge of the route to India
steering clear of copartnery with the
Turk. England should feel it an ig'
nominy to be connected with such q
Turk, the one future for whom that
has any hope in it is that of his being
conquered by the Russians and
drilled into learning himself to be
governed. Mr.. Carlyle protests
against the newspaper cutlery against
Russia, which he says proceeds from
ignorance and jealousy. He calls
the attention of friends of their coun'
try to his statements lest in a few
weeks the maddest thing that Brit
ish government could do should be
done. and all Europe be in war.

PosTPoNEMENT UNTIL NEXT
OCTOBER
WASHINGTON, May At was
decided at the meeting of the Cabi-
net to-day that the extra session of
Congress, rendered desirable by the
failure of the last Congress to pass
the Army Appropriation bill, is not
to be called to meet in June, but on
October 18th. This charge of the or
iginal programme was made upon a
careful consideration of the general
interests of the country, and also in
compliance with the almost unan
nous desire of the business commu-
nifty, as well as of members of Con-
gress themselves, as far as they could
be consulted, that there should be no
session of Congress this summer lift
could be avoided; and upon mature
inquiry into all the circumstances of
the case it was ascertained that with
out any immediate appropriation of
money the army can be clothed and
supplied with all its necessaries, and
that until the 18th of October only
one regular pay day has to be passed.
1t was also considered that if Con-
gress meets in October, it may re-
main in continuous session and finish
its business befor next summer, so
as to avoid the inconvenience of the
hot season next year as well as this
year. A proclamation calling the
extra session at October 18th is to be
issued without delay.
VIEWS OF A PROMINENT MEMBER
OF THE DIPLOMATIC CORPS.
One of the most distinguished of
the European Ministers resident in
this city stated in an interview yes
terday that the recent activity of
Great Britain in warelike prepare
ton was undoubtedly preliminary
to an important diplomatic move
ment to check the advance of Russia
and secure an armistice for the pur-
pose of reopening negotiations. He
said the hesitation of Russia, which
has now become too palpable to be
longer concealed, was due to the APP
prehension of a demonstration on the
part of England. When the Gar
declared war he was assured that
there was no possible danger of Eng
lish intervention; but the events of
the last ten days have convinced him
that he was ill-advised. The Russian
idea was that the anti-Turkish feel
ing in England. represented by
Gladstone, was strong enough to
compel the Government to maintain
strict neutrality in any event, but
the more recent rapid military and
naval preparations of England have
opened the Cars eyes to the fact
that the opposition, as led by Glad
stone, cannot even exercise restrain
ing influence upon Disraeli's Cabinet.
Under these circumstance, and in
view of the uncertain attitude of
Austria, the Minister said it was evil

The Khedive, in consequence of these
