An Executive Order to all Off
Cials

Cials
Requiring Them to Attend to their
Duties, and not Meddlc With Politics.
The President Inst Saturday. caus-
cd copy Of the following to be sent
10 all employed in the civil service Of
the Government
EXECUTIVE MANSION
WAsnINGToN June %, 1877,
SIR: | desire to call your attention
to the following paragraph in letter
addressed by me to the Secretary Of
the General Government in relation
to the elections
"No officer should be required or
permitted to take part i'll the manage
mcnt Of political organization, eau.
cusscs, conventions or election cam
paigns. Their right to vote and to
express their views OIL public qucs-
tons, either orally Or through the
press is not denied, provided it does
not interfere with the discharge Of
their official duties. No assessment
for political purposes on officers or
subordinatcs should he allowed"
This rule is applicable to every
Department Of The civil service. It
should be understood by every officer
oflhc General Government that he
is expected TO conform his conduct TO
its requirements.
Very respectfully,
r. j. HAYES.
The foregoing order is but an cx-
tension Of the Presidents New York
custom house letter to all the dc.
partmcnts Of the Government, and
it is said to have received the unani-
nous approval Of Tie Cabinet. Jti,
understood that it will be strictly eli
forced, and that III consequence many
political workers will have to retire
tire from the arena Of politics and
behave themselves or give up their
Offices. Il is thought that they will
quit politics and hang to the official
tcat.
This order has excited considerable
speculation as to what lis practical
effect will be, especially i'll State
which, like Ohio, is jast entering on
an important campaign. 1t
viii lisplacc from the craftsmanship
Of Tic RcLublican State Cent raj
Committee y. T. WikoT, who is one
of The most Efficient workers in his
party in Ohio, where it is admitted on
all hands that the election will be q
close one. The President has issued
this order with full understanding
Of the fact that ii will affect the in
tcrests olhis party uniavorably, but
with him the necessity for reform
seems to outweigh all other consid
crations.
It is expected that by prohibiting
Federal Office holders from partici-
pating actively i'll political cam
paigns their efficiency and populnri-
ty rs public officers will be greatly
improved, and that they will hence
forth regard themselves rs the cx-
elusive servants Of the public. 1t is
felt that the enforcement ofthis order
will require much iirmness and per
scvcrcncc, for it will not be an easy
thing to induce the men who have
long been accustomed to manipulate
parties TO retire from the leadership
and take Il back seat. Its, ncvcrthc.
less, to be The firm intention Of the
President to have the order strictly
observed, and it will be regarded rs

moval iiany officer high or low, is

Original Georgia Cabin singers for series
of concerts. The first will be given in the
town hall at West Rutland on Saturday
evening and the second and third il the
town hall in this village on Monday and
Tuesday evenings of the coming week.
This is the original company of 'jubilee
singers" and has the reputation of being
the best. Comparisons have been drawn
by the press between this company and the
Flyers Sisters, who have been 30 favorably
received here, and the comparison was in
favor of Slavins company. This company
have just completed an engagement o.
eiat weeks at the Grand Opera House in
New York city which Melted 81, $40.
They have been singing in that city fol
four months and always to full houses.
The New York Tribune says "Slavin'f
Georgia Cabin Singers are very fine and de
serve the enviable reputation they have &c
justly earned"
The New York Herald says "They ore
really the best We have ever seen of thest
colored troupes."
The Boston Advertiser says "The mu
sic of these singers Is wonderful and de.
serves the greatest praise"

The Situation at New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, March II.
The democrats claim that the detection
of state senator Dubois from the Nichols
legislature does not break the returning
board quorum of that body. Nineteen is a
quorum. The Nichols senate now con-
sists of nineteen returning board members
and two elected according to returns the
Packard senate of seventeen returning
board members, two less than quorum,
and two members who were seated subject
to contest. After obtaining a quorum Of
the senate the Packard legislature passed
through both houses a general appropria-
ton bill and mileage per diem bill for
themselves. They also adopted concur
rent resolution quoting section A, act 4, of
the constitution of the United States, and
sections 5,20S and 5000 of the United
States revised statutes, and setting forth
that there existed in New Orleans, the
capital of the state, domestic violence and
illegal conspiracies and combinations to
obstruct the execution of the laws, as evil
denced by the seizure by armed and lawless
bands of the state arsenals and the su-
preme court of the state, and calling upon
the president, under the constitution and
laws, for aid to suppress the same.

The Burlington Free Press of last even

ly mentioned in connection with an ap-
pointment to the supreme bench of our
state, but he has heretofore been unwilling
to accept such position, his practice be-
ing worth much more to him than q poorly
paid and laborious judgeship. II he
would now accept the place, he would
bring to it an ability and experience as a
lawyer possessed by no one that has been
named as candidate; and it would be rec
ognized everywhere as most fitting ap-
pointmept.

in the discussion of the southern question
under bis administration, and has re-
iterated frequently his disposition to
act cautiously and with view
to no reconsideration of the case
in any particular after it is decided upon,
the appointment Of euch commission to
examine into the condition of Louisiana.
There is no room to doubt the absolute
unanimity Of the cabinet. Up to this time
little has been done in the cabinet 30 far as
South Carolina is concerned. Another
session, which will be held either tomorrow
or the day after, will undoubtedly finish
this question and it can also be taken as
positive that the settlement of the affAirs
of South Carolina will not involve the
sending of commission to that state.
This, however, is not authoritative.

From Washington.
ooLoRED MEMS THAMES.

WASHINGTON, March 81.
A delegation of prominent colored men
consisting Of Robert Purvis of Pennsyl-
vania, Fred Douglass, John F. Cook, DR..
Chas. B. Purvis, Chas. H. Peters and
others Of Washington, called upon the
president this afternoon to tender their
thanks for the appointment Of Douglass as
marshall of the district. Purvis said the
appointment was gratifying to the colored
people because by it the president not only
recognized their claims, but etruck blow
at the prejudice OF caste, and they wished
him success in his policy Of reconciliation.
The president in reply said in appointing
Douglass his object was to show to the
country that 1t was his purpose to fully
carry out the declaration of his inaugural.
The amendments to the constitution must
be strictly adhered to and all citizens pro-
tected In their rights. He referred to the
appointment of colored persons and said
that no determination must be made on &C.
count of color. Should any public officer
having positions TO be bestowed make any
such discrimination no would consider it
sufficient cause for his removal. In con-
clusion he referred to bis policy of recon.
cliation and expressed his confidence in its
success.

The Brattleboro and Whitehall Bail
road

Is to be brought face to face with our
voters. A town meeting will be held on
the 3lst inst, to see what shall be done
about raising the $50 900 which is set down
as the quota of Brattleboro. There ls con-
siderable opposition to bonding the town
and as much perhaps to raising the money
by taxation, but it is hoped that some &C.
ceptabIe plan will be devised and promptly
acted upon. l see that am accused in
some quarters Of Misrepresentation for say
ing in my last letter to the Journal that
this enterprise lags sadly. Perhaps l
should have said rather that 1t lags sadly
go far as Brattleboro Is concerned, which
must BIO admitted. Most of the other towns
on the line have come to time nobly and
only one or two hold back to see what will
be- done here. If unanimity of sentiment
and action could be made compatible with
a petty personal division among our people,
the matter would very likely have been set
lied before this. AS 1t Is, We can only hope
that private animosites will not be allowed
to Illustrate or delay an enterprise that
seems plainly calculated 10 promote the
public good. Cor. Boston Journal.
