MY friends, thank you for this most
cordial greeting, doubly gratifying because
it is the voice of New York reverberating
to South Carolina. l came as / said to do
honor TO my distinguished friend, General
Shields. He wore blue and / wore gray
but we can let the curtain drop over those
years and go back 10 the time when the
flag borne by him waved alike over men
of the South and men of the North, and we
can look beyond to the future when through
all time that flag shall float over a free,
prosperous and reunited country. (Ap-
plause.) l say this TO you, a Southern
man, rebel, for when i fought fought as
hard as / knew how against you, and / say,
also, that if that flag floats, as it should do,
over free and equal States if it shall be the
symbol of liberty, equality and justice, all
the States and every man of the South will
honor II and love it as of old. aud the time
may come once more when New York and
South Carolina shall stand shoulder to
shoulder against the common enemy, aud
their blood mingle upon the soil. ZAP
plause.) My friends, / shall bear this cor
dial greeting back home with me to the lit
tie Palmetto State, and assure our people
that your hearts here throb kindly for us.
/ trust in God that better future is before
the whole country, and that we shall have
peace, prosperity and liberty to every man
on the continent" (Applause) = Wade

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe snapped up"
an ill-conditioned person at the recent
woman's meeting in London. While she
was speaking some man in the gallery imi-
lated her voice; he was silenced angrily
by those around him, and Mrs. Howe pro-
ceeded without remarking the incident.
After having come to the end of her nara
tive of the suffrage movement in America,
Mrs. Howe said: "There is one thing
may add before sit down. In my coun-
try when a woman rises before any audi
ence TO speak, you may hear pin drop"
Then she sat down, Her "hit back" was
received with loud aud long applause, and
the quiet OF the meeting was thereafter I'M
broken.

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WAGHINGTON lima %

AECnIlNE mANhlON,
WASHINGTON, June %.
Sir: l desire to call your attention to
the following paragraph in letter address
ed by me to the Secretary of the Treasury
on the conduct to be observed by the Off
GERS of the General Government in relation
10 elections: No officer should be re-
quired or permitted to take part in the
management of political organizations, eau
cuses, conventions or election campaigns.
Their right TO vote and to express their
views on public questions. either orally or
through the press, is not denied provided
it does not interfere with the discharge OF
their official duties. No assessment for po-
litcal purposes on officers or subordnaies
should be allowed. 1t should be under
stood by every officer of the General Gov
eminent that he is expected to conform his
conduct to its requirements.
Very respectfully,
r. b. HAYES.
1t is urged by some of the friends of civil
service reform, says the Boston journal,
that the order of the President is too sweep
ing-that he has no right to forbid federal
officers from participating in political af-
fairs so long as they attend to their official
duties. 1t will be seen, however, upon
reading the order, that no political right of
the official is interfered with. He can al
tend caucuses, and discuss political ques-
lions, but so far as the management of eau
cuses, conventions and campaigns are con-
cerned, he is allowed TO take his choce-to
attend to them on his own account or to
devote his time TO the affairs of the govern
ment. The officer can exercise all the
rights of the citizen, but be cannot employ
the time for which the government pays,
and the influence which that Office confers
upon him, to give direction 10 party man
agement, or rather to manage the party or
gauizatiOn in the interest of certain men.
The President has laid the ak at the root of
the evil. After forty years of the vicious
system which requires public officers to be
party or clique leaders, it will require
very positive order and very determined
action to cause those who have become ac-
customed TO the old system TO understand
exactly what the administration proposes
to do. Thousands of officers will be de-
lighted to receive the Presidents order,
because they are disguised with the system
which makes them the servants of local
political magnates, of senators and repre-
sentatives, and prominent men in favor
with the President, rather than officials Of
the government. On the other hand, a
large class will fail to recognize its wisdom
or its propriety, because they have become
thoroughly imbued with the mischievous
notion that ii is the first duty of the fed
eral official to build up a party and an
influence for his chief. Many congress-
men will be hostile TO the order because
they have depended upon these officials
