OUR friend johnson of the GAZETTE
has advertised for a COPY of his paper OF
November ~, 1877. 1t was "Thankspiy-
ing Day" and the Gazette people were
enjoying themselves instead of getting
up paper.-Herdid.
lt is true our clerk fell into that
small error in making up his files of
the paper to be bound last January. But
as the weekly paper was printed ON
Wednesday and circulated on Thursday,
thanksgiving and dated that day, it
was very slight error which any Young
person might readily fall into.

L. G. Dennis, Of the Florida returning
board, seems to have been another special
case for the influence of Mr. Hayes to
be exercised about securing an Office for
one of the men who helped to steal the
presidency for him. The following is an
extract from his testimony before the
Potter Committee, which explains itself
In company with Gen. Lew Wallace
he called upon the President. The Pres.
ident had told him (witness) that he was
one of the few men that he could afford
TO take care Of and asked him what be
wanted Witness, not being prepared
for the question, asked leave to call again,
when he would give his answer. At the
second visit he informed the President
that he wanted all authorship in the
treasury department. The President did
not promise the pos:tion, but said that
some changes might occur, and accord
ingly placed his application upon file,
with the testimonials signed by Wallace.
Bisber and VIM. T.. Chandler, on the
second visit to the President. had given
witness card to Secretary Sherman,
which was produced and read as follows
'StNf y S1NcSDtuNs i PARTICULARLY Qc.
sire that Mr.. Dennis shall be appointed
to some good place, and I think he is
well fitted for it."
Witness stated that in the interval be-
tween his visits Chandler had spoken to
the President in his behalf, and on his
next visit the President gave him the
following note:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, April 6.
Dear Sir: am reliably assured that
L. G. Dennis, of Florida, would make a
capital special agent Of the treasury.
especially desire that his name may have
your special attention.
Sincerely, r. 3. HAYES.
Hon. John Sherman, Secretary, &C., &c.
Witness was finally appointed 20 q po-
si!ion in the supervising architects Office
at six dollars or seven dollars per day.
He performed no labor, however, but was
granted leave of absence for thirty days.
and went to Massachusetts and remained
away for four months, and not hearing
anything from Washington returned to
inform che government that lie still lived.
He drew three months salary for the
four months he wes absent.

DAMAGING TESTIMONY.

The Department Clerks In Washington
recently held nesting and passed the
following resolution relative to the de-
mand of the Republican Congressional
Committee for 6 contribution for cam.
paign purposes:
Whereas, our past experience in being
forced to subscribe various large amounts
which we have evidence werc not used
for. election purposes, but simply TO en-.
rich certain unscrupulous and impecu-
nious judges ~, colohels ~ aud other
welf-known frauds and inebriates; and,
whereas, we are informed that certain
notorious self-styled claim agents are
now canvassing the departments ostensi-
bly, in the interests of the Republican
Congressional Committee, but in reality,
we firmly believe, in behalf Of their de-
pleted excheguers: therefore, be it
Resolved, That we decline emphatically
to pay any money to these sharpers, aud
call upon every clerk and employee to
follow our example.
Thus these Clerks put themselves on
record before the country as accusers Of
the prominent Republican members of
Congress. The charge is, In substance,
that they obtain money under false pre-
lenses and then appropriate it TO their
own uses. The assessment made by the
present Congressional Campaign Com
mittee of the Republican party is esti-
mated to raise about one and half mill
lion dollars, and, o: course, it opens the
door to large transactions in the line for
which the Republican party has been. 30
noted since its rise TO power. The action
of the Clerks in making this refusal is
right, and it shows that they know full
well that the Republican party is un-
worthy of public confidence. The peo-
pie of the nation will do we'll to take the
information thus rendered them, and
allow the Republican candidates for Con-
gress to stay at home after the next elec-
ton. This is testimony from Republi-
cans abont Republicans, and Is therefore
no worse than the facts justify. The ma
ton cannot afford to sustain men open to
such base charges. They should be re-
tired 10 tho shades of political oblivion.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1878-07-04

payers have in many instances bought
up considerable sums of these bills at
from ten TO twenty cents on the dollar,
and would thus feel the burden of taxa
ton if paid in this way very little indeed.
Ii is unfair TO the other creditors of the
sate, aud unfair to che people that 6
preference should be shown the bills of
the Bank of the State. Of course. we
have I'D right to condemn the owners of
bills for nc. accepting this compromise.
Tt is natur.l for them TO wish to get as
much for them as possible, but by proper
management of thip natter the State
will no doubt SOON convince these geu.
tlemen ,nat the compromise offered is
the best they can get. The State is
obliged TO scale these things. To pay
them In full would entail ruinous taxa
ton upon our people. South Carolina
has accomplished her political regenera-
ton, but her financial redemption yet
remains to be worked out, and 1t will
require years of stern economy and pru-
dence to complete this work. If We at
tempt to pay all of the bills Of the Bank
Of the State, all Of the floating indebted
ness left by the Radicals, and all Of the
bonded debt left by them, the State will
be over burdened with taxation for half
a century. The bills of the Bank Of the
State and the floating Indebtedness should
be scaled TO fifty cents on the dollar, ard
the bonded debt scrutinized as provided
by the last Legislature. Our people can
not, in justice to themselves or to poster
ity, consent to anything less.

Clio Democratic Convention.
CoLUMBus. O. .Junf

COLUMBUs, o., June q.
The Democratic State central commit.
tee has been organized, and has elected
John G. Thompson chairman. The fol.
lowing platform was adopted by the Con.
vention.
The resolutions declare that the com.
mercial stagnation in the country is due
to the pernicious financial legislation o.
the Republican party.
While the Convention cnngratnlates
the country that the downward course tc
bankruptcy and ruin involved in til Re.
publican policy has been partially avert.
ed by the Democratic measures passed al
the late session of Congress restoring the
debt paying power TO silver dollars, made
law in 5pita of Presidential veto, and
stopping further destruction of green,
backs, they demand as further acts of ius
sice as well as measures of relief the
absolute repeal of the resumption act
the lawful liberation of the coin boarded
In the treasury; the removal of the re.
strictions to the coinage of silver and Tie
establishment of silver as o mouey
metal the same as gold; the gradual sub.
sitution Of United States legal tsado,
paper for National bank notes, and lis
permanent establishment as the sole pa.
per money of the country, made receiva.
for oil dues to the Government and OF
equal tender with coin.
The resolutions also protest against the
uither increase of the bonded deot and
the sale Of bonds for purchasing coin 70,
redemption purposes, and declare in fa.
vcr of TIE gradual extinction Of the
public debt.
Il ia also resolved that the interests Of
the industrial wealth.producing classes
is paramount to the people of tine United
States. Those whose labor and enter.
prise produce. wealth, should be secure in
its enjoyment. Warm sympathy is ex-
tended to the lahoriDg classes out of en-.
ployment by the financial policy of the
Republican party, and the resolutions
pledge the democratic party reversal
of this policy and to restoration of all
the rights they are entitled to upon its
ascendancy 20 power. There can be no
