PRESIDENT HAYES.


He Il not n eI.east disturbed by tho
Action OF the Recent Repubiicam
Caucus.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Presi-
dent does not seem the least disturbed by
the action of the recent Republican eau
Gus. Those nearest him, socially and
politically, say there is no probability
whatever that be will, as requested by
the resolution Of Senator Sargent 10 the
caucu last night, rescind the order for.
bidding the participation in political
meetings of officials ia any executive
branch of civil service, and his
friends don't think it probable any such
request will be made by the congress
sional committee, though they may
confer with the President on po-
litical %afairsl generally in view of
the approaching election. They say
the President never declines to listen
attentively to suggestions, but when he
makes up his mind as to the rightfulness
of any motive he adheres to it. The
Republicans in congress, for the greater
part, will endeavor to avoid Any direct
with the President. however much
they disagree with him in some Of bis
political measures.

rhe ! Book,,

THE cumbersome and costly
" Blue Book" just published by
the government, contains the name
of every person employed in the
Federal service, gives $3.50 as the
total number of Federal Office
holders Of all kinds and degrees.
This is about l in $50 of the total
population, or l for every 80 votes.
The vast number of ofice-seekers
cases to excite surprise when these
figures are known, for if there were
but five applicants for every place
this would make one in every
eighteen of the voting population a
federal place hunter. But when
the State and local officers are adj
ded TO the Federal tie number of
persons who are paid for attending
to the business of ruling the re-
mainder becomes frightful to con-
template. Counting school officers,
conStables and justices of the
peace with the more important
placemen it is probable that the
State and local ofice-holders are at
least as numerous as those in Fed
eral employment, and at that rate
one man in forty-five voters would
be drawing his support from the
public purse, or, in other words,
every collection OF forty-fye voters
throughout the country is obliged
10 support one man by their labor
in order to maintain such govern
ment as we have. But if we allow
five place-huuters for every State
and local place, as well as for the
Federal offices, the result would
show that every ninth voter in the
entire republic is an ofice-seeker.
This is a very ingenious calculation
Of the New York Herald; but two
thirds of the offices, Federal, State
and municipal, provoke no contest
and are not worth the having.

politically speaking, greater than to
turn out the tried and true men in
congress and put in their place new
recruits.

now agitating popular feeling il
the United States. To prevent this
subversion Of the government t.
uses incompatible with its theory
and the principles on which it il
founded-by means Of legislation
perverted to other and opposite
ends-it is demanded by the su.
preme law Of safety to the State
that the integrity Of the organic
formation be restored to each com.
ponent State and to the united
whole; and that every one on whom
public position has deyolyed public
duties be held responsible to the
utmost therefor, and be constrained,
by the force Of public condemna-
ton, if not by a lofty sense of duty,
to conserve the public welfare by
acting in perfect accordance with,
add obedience to, sovereign will.
1t requires that legislation be re-
strained strictly within the limits
Of constitutions that no principle
underlying constitutional equality
be eyaded, and that all privilege
and class laws yiolatiye thereof be
eradicated from the statute books
and be forever inhibited. On such
a basis only can the successful party
of the future stand. That party
then must be one standing on a
strict construction basic. 1t has
ever been the basis, pure and simple,
of true representative Democracy.
Whenever, unfaithful to its origin,
the Democratic party has been led
away into the pleasant flowing par
terres Of its privelege-favoring rival
it has itself lost favor with the peo-
pie. 1t has stood proudly, success
full when standing %sternly loyal on
its strict construction foundation.
The popular movements occur

growths of true loyalty to resist

The Memphis LEDGER states that the
Shelby County Court has dismissed its
cult against the Selma, Marion and Mem.
phis Railroad Company. What effect
this will have on the prosecution of the
enterprise of the road from this place to
Memphis, we are too little acquainted
with the precise condition and character
Of the litigation at present to say. The
way to a road must be opened, il there
is q way.
Our cotemporary is referred to
an editorial in yesterdays LEDGER.
There is no prospect and no hope
whatever that the Selma railroad
bed can be secured. 1t is rather a
strange fact-laughable, were it not
true--that the bondholders even
refuse to accept a decree of sale, as
rendered by the railroad company.
The roadway is well nigh valueless,
and will do no one any good. 1t
will not be sold, and will not be
used for many years to come.
