The Baltimore Gazette says: "The
Democratic Senators who voted to in
crease the army to $4,000 after the House
had placed the standard at 10000 should
be remembered in these days when
economy and retrenchment are demand
ed by the people. Their names are Bar
mum, Bayard, Butler, Coke, Dennis,
Gordon, Herman, Maxey and Wallace"
This plea of economy is mere piece Of
political nonsense. There are useless
measures of expenditure amounting to o
great deal more than the pay Of FIVE
thousand soldiers of which our Baltimore
contemporary makes no complaint. The
fact is that $4,000 men is very small
standing army for such nation as the
United States, and is not more than
enough to properly garrison the forts of
the government and protect its frontier.
The whole force could be very proftably
employed in protecting our Mexican
frontier, and in keeping the savage In
dian tribes within their reservations.
Moreover, the labor strikes of last year
show us that there is an element of dis
satisfaction and unrest throughout the
government, which requires that small
number of government troops should be
quartered at convenient points through
out the United States. The present So
cialistic fever is also an additional reason
for not reducing the army. We have
now the smallest standing army of any
first rate power in the world, and while
a small standing army is to be desired,
there is such a thing as having it too
small. We must keep it large enough
to preserve the peace of the Union, or
we may find ourselves in a lamentable
condition of violence. If the army
should be reduced now, and two or three
immense riots occur this summer, the
Republicans would point to the reduc-
ton of the army as the cause, and, while
it might not have any connection with
the disturbance, it would damage the
Democracy. We agree with the Senators
named, that we had better let the num-
ber of the army alone. Itwould be we'll,
however, to enforce the law preventing
its use in elections.

Railroad Meeting.

At q meeting of the citizens of the
town of Easley, held at Masonic Hall,
on the evening of the 5th instant, to con-
slider the propriety of a subscription to
the capital stock of the Easley, Belton

tary.

ted and interesting remarks from Maj.
T. H. Russell and Others, were voted
upon and carried. Be it
Resolved, That we the citizens of the
ton of Easley, in public meeting assem-
bled, conceiving that the building of the
proposed Easley, Bolton and Williamson

to Easley, by largely increasing its popu-
lation, enhancing the value of real estate,
bringing in capital, by making the town
Railroad centre, &c. Therefore, be it
further
RESOLVED, That in order to make the
building Of said road certainty to that
extent, we do hereby instruct the corpo-
rate authorities of the town of Easley to

Congress now has before it a bill to re-
store the Citadel Academy buildings and
lot in the city of Charleston to the State
of South Carolina. This piece of prop
erty was before and during the war used
by the State as military school, and at
the surrender was seized by the govern
ment of the United States on the ground
that it was used to aid the rebellion.
This, however, is shown to be false by
the afidavits of the officers of the Cita-
del, and the statements of Gov. McGrath
and Hon. Charles McBetll, ex-mayor OF
Charleston. The bill for its restoration
will probably pass with clause denying
any rent.

JEFF. David, the negro who was convic-

the Franklins in Abbeville County, and
sentenced to be hung therefor, it will be
remembered was respited upon the gal

He has again been respited until the
18th of July, and the opinion is gaining
ground that he is not guilty, and should
not be hung.

thirteen times as many men as Lee. In
asmuch as the majority of the American
people intend voting the Democratic
ticket for President next time, and as
both branches of Congress will be DEM
ocratic, thereby preventing the Return
ing Board frauds, Gen. Grant cannot
succeed in his march upon the White
House by attritiou, and as that is the
only plan of success he is acquainted
with, the American people will not be
greatly alarmed by his predicted success.

have never been subjected to so much
Misrepresentation in regard to everything
I have undertaken to do. that I do not
think it would be qcise for me to 60 to
Philadelphia or Baltimore for the pur-
pose of meeting you. In case you should
find it convenient to be in Washington
shall be pleased to see you.
Now, it seems up to this time the Pres
idents brother-in-law had not learned
that the contract was dishonorable one,
and that up to this time he would not
have shown Anderson "out of the door
of the office more rapidly than he came
in" 1t also appears that Mr.. Matthews
was constantly trying to secure some
Office for Anderson, and hence no credit
is due the Senator, for the fact that the
agreement did no harm while in his pos
session. A man indicted for assault with
intent to kill might as we'll plead that he
did not do any harm when he leveled
his pistol at his prosecutors head and at
tempted to blow out his brains, but was
prevented from doing so by the cap
swapping. Mr.. Matthews did all he
could do to carry out the Anderson-Nash
contract.
Now, we have not devoted this space
to proving Senator Matthews connection
with the fraud alone. 1t shows to our
mind something more. Mr.. Matthews
is a brother-in-law of President Hayes,
and it is almost certain that he commu-
nicated the facts to Mr.. Hayes. It,would
have been unnatural for it to have been
otherwise, and in proof of the reasona-
blencss of this supposition there is the
fact that Mr.. Hayes endorsed Anderson's
application for an appointment to Sccre-
tary Evarts rs follows: "Please give this
man some government appointment in q
warm climate. This is special case"
What constituted its speciality? and
where did Mr.. Hayes find it out3 He
no doubt obtained his information from
his brother-in-law, and Anderson's servi-
ces in securing the vote Of Louisiana for
the Republicans, when it was cast for the
Democrats, constituted its speciality.

THE candid and manly testimony
Of Senator Kellogg as to the fairness
OF the Republican vote in Louisiana,
in the States and Presidential cleo
tions OF 1876, will go far towards
rebuttinE the tomfooery and puerile
evidence of Jim Anderson, Weber
and Mrs. jerks, in the minds of the
honest, earnest people Of the Union.
IT will require all the sophistry Of
tho Democratic party to refute the
plain and convincing story of Sena-
tor Kellogg, which only drives an
other nail into the coffin Of the sham
reformers.

CAST HIM OUT.

There is no doubt IN the mind OF
any one ordinarily conversant ~ith
the political affairs of this district
as to Hazelton's being the center of
the ring element. There is not an
intelligent Republican in this Dis
trict, who cares to know, but knows
that he is to-day making use of all
the means usually employed by men
of his character in order to secure
his denomination. There is net an
honest, square Republican but de-
tests in principle any such mode OF
procedure. He does not-he can
not as q true citizen-reconcile the
idea which he entertains of his duty
as an intelligent citizen and patriot,
with the vicious practice that en-
ables q mere schemer, destitute of
merit or qualification, to seat him
self in place that ought to be oc-
cupied by the meritorious and quail
iGed-a practice That enables the
owl to befoul the home Of the eagle.
Every such Republican knows that
such practice lays the axe at the
root of our constitutional theory Of
representation. 1t is among things
the most patent that under such cir
cumstances ihere is no popular SOW
e'eignty. There is no such thing
as our being truly citizens. We are
ruled by those who care to RUE US.
We are without a voice in affairs Of
government. Unscrupulousness is
king; and Selfishness is prime min
lister! The anomaly may be pre-
seuted OF the virtuous and wise be-
ing represented, and therefore gov
erned, by the vicious and shallow
Drained in government whose
written constitution is that of a
Republic. That we may expect
wise, honest, patriotic government
under such circumstances is absurd
for it follows that the true theory of
government, which is that it is for
the advantage of society, is ignored.
Government is merely business in
tho conception of the "Boss" Of
ring. The more he can make out of
it the better satisfied is his individ-
ual greed.
Inasmuch as the work Of a ring
perverts the amendments of our
constitution, it follows that those
who form its segments are in true
sense enemies to Their country
traitors to the commonwealth. The
duty of true citizen, whenever az
opportunity is his, is sufficiently
obvious.
AS we conceive the fact to be,
such an opportunity is soon to be
given every Republican voter in this
District. See to it, if you are Re-
publicans good and true, that in
your primary conventions, soon to
be held, you visit merited scorn upon
the ring Boss" of this District
