A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, signing himself "Flatass," or some
name to that purport, says:
As to indorsing the administration Of
the President. platform of at least half
a dozen resolutions, ringing in tone,
hearty in sympathy, and OF no uncertain
meaning all approving, indorsing, and
ratifying what President Hayes has done
toward elevating public affairs, ought
unanimously and with three cheers to be
adopted by the convention. President
Hayes, for his fearless and manly course,
deserves to be lauded to the skies. Let
any one for a moment stop and think
what has been done by the administra-
ton in few short months-what strides
have been taken in real civil service re-
form.
This fellow further says that the people,
without regard to party, are dreadfully
in love with the new policy.
Now let the Cleveland convention do
as hatass, the Gazette and Commercial
urge, and then in October the people
will have fair pop at the policy"

from Carmel to Patterson Saturday even

Patterson. On asking for liquor in the
bar room, they were refused. as they were
already intoxicated. Holland then be-
came very abusive and made many
threats against the barkeeper, and de
clared that he would clear out the bar
room. Drawing a pistol from his pocket.
he went up to young man named Els

Last spring q year ago Mr.. d. Mackley,
Of the jackson Standard, announced
through the columns of his paper that
he was coming with his wife and family
to the Cincinnati convention to see that
Bristow was not nominated. and that
Blaine, Morton, or Hayes was. Those
who were acquainted with Mr.. Mackley
knew that this town was not large enough
to contain him and Bristow, and that the
defeat of the latter was foreordsined. as
it were. Well. Hayes was chosen. but
Brother Mackley does not seem pleased.
|-ICincinnati Gazette.
Let no evil disposed person charge that
the above very smart article was written
by the editor of the Gazette, who is a
truly good man, but who is constantly
being placed in false positions by his
wicked partners. For instance, about
the time spoken Of by the Gazette, the
"machinists." or Republicans, objected to
Bristow, because he was a Kentucky
rebel, and never had been q Republican.
In order to deceive the Republicans, and
induce them to support Bristow, the Ga
zette published that Bristow voted for
Abraham Lincoln for President in the
year 1860. This was a lie, and we called
the attention of the Gazette to the mat
ter, and appealed to the good deacon, the
editor, to tell the truth. He worried a
good deal over the matter, but the wick
ed partners again overruled him, and he
has not to this day taken back that lie.
In order to show that we are not jok-
ing about this truly good man, read the
following, from the N. Y. Sun:
"SIR: Please answer the following
question; Why do you always speak OF
Deacon Richard Smith of Cincinnati as
the truly good man2 TEXAS"
Because he is a truly good man. That
is his peculiar distinction. Some men
are handsome, some are smart, some are
foolish, some are bad, some are good.
Deacon Richard Smith is truly good.
There is no other phrase which so accu-
rately describes the qualities and beau
ties Of his character. We trust our Texas
correspondent now understands the sub

We hear the poor, miserable lickspittles
who are fawning around a political trai-
tor. talking about the admirable Civil
Service rules now being enforced. Read
the following:
Here is q pleasant little extract from a
Washington letter:
There was an old man who had served
for years in the Sixth Auditors Office,
who was so unfortunate as to have. a son
in some other department Both had
families who lived separately, and both
were invaluable clerks. When it was
announced that, under the new rule, one
of them must go the old man choose that
the ak should fall upon himself instead
of on his son. But, said he, sadly.
when the war broke out had FIVE brave
and handsome sons. i gave them every
one to the Union army, and no fault was
found then because of relationship.
Only two of them came back to me. One
fell at Gettysburg; another was lett
among the unknown dead in the Will
derness; and the third laid down his
life at Antietam. Five sons were not
too many to serve the country then"

ington correspondent, H. v. Boynton.
have supported Hayes; but Boynton
writes as follows:
WASHINGTON, July II.
Renewed interest has been excited
here in Secretary Sherman's methods OF
civil service reform by the fact that Mr..
j. G. u. Kennedy. acting as agent Of one
Of the national banks, has called the at
tention of the President to the removal
If Inh ha
has had charge Of the safe containing the
securities Of all the banks of the country
Mr.. Croggan, as most have already heard,
was dismissed because he had the misfor-
tune to have a brother in the Treasury
1t was more than an ordinary case of
brotherhood, however, as must be con-
fessed, for in one particular these broth
ers were enough alike to be twins. Both
were celebrated for long tried and fully
established honesty. The one dismissed
was the daily custodian of about $400.
600. 900 OF bonds, and, except as agents
appeared for each bank once a year to
inspect it's particular bundle OF securities,
no hand but his came near these millions
wrapped in convenient packages. The
other brother, for like trustworthiness,
has long been in charge of the millions
of the cash vault in the Treasury proper
His daily watch has been over from fifty
to one hundred and fifty millions. OF
course it was a good thing to have such
brothers for the protection OF the Treas
ury in the uncertain period before Secre-
tary Sherman conceived his bogus civil
service rules. Under these rules one of
the brothers was dismissed as summarily
as if he had been caught stealing the
bonds which for IL years he had guarded
SO faithfully.
But Croggan has the powerful influence
Of the banks to appeal his case to the
President. This letter shall be in the
interest Of suffering and starving ones
whose husbands and fathers gave their
lives for the country on its battle fields.
and for whom, as yet, no powerful inter
est in the land has lifted its voice.
