Mr.. Hayes sympathy for "the poor
colored man" shows itself by giving sew
eral Of the most unworthy and unsuita
bic ones important public positions. He
has recently appointed Sam Lee post
master for Sumter, and William Fl.
Thomas, of Newberry, consul at ST..
Paul de Loando. Now he has filled the
position of Special Revenue Agent for
Louisiana, which was until recently held
by Gen. Longstreet, by appointing Pinch
hack as his successor. These appoint
ments may be considered as the latest
edition Of the Presidents idea of civil
service reform.

Senator Jones, of Nevada, has intro
duced q bill in tho United States Senate
giving any railroad company the right to
construct telegraph line along it's road,
md to connect with the lines Of other
roads, so "a to form continuous lines for
the transmission of messages between
any points in the United States. His
bill also prohibits telegraph companies
from erecting thoir lines along railroad
lines without the consent of the railroad
company. This is u good bill and should
be adopted, thereby securing competition
to q considerable extont with the present
chartered companies. which are huge
monopolies. The passage Of this bill
would save thousands OF dollars to the
business men of the country.

cans over the test oath for United States
jurors, and will amend one Of the impor.
tant appropriation bills 40 as to include
q provision aboiisiing the right OF the
District Attorney or Of the presiding
Judge In the Federal Courts to require
the test oath Of jurors in any case. Tho
present law Is most iniquitous one,
which was repealed several years ago,
but again slipped into the revised sta
tutes 90 as 10 raise the question of its
validity, and while it is generally be-
lieyed to be imperative the Democrats
in Congress intend to make it 30 beyond
q doubt The law, If enforced, would
debar every man who fought in the Con-
federate war, or sympathizcd with the
South, from serving on juries, which
would leave them to bo composed of
negroes and young men who have grown
up since the wer. ~ enforcement would
give The District Attorneys a most ex-
cellent opportunity to pack iuries for the
trial of political or nthcr prosecutions,
and would be used to defeat justice and
CRAFTY personal revenges by most of the
men who fill these positions in the South.
Tho propriety of the repeal cannot (or
an instant be doubted by any impartial
man, and although it is bad policy, gen.
orally speaking, 70 tack general legisla-
tion on to appropriation bills, in this
instance the end justfies the means, and
the Democrats in Congress will be sus-
tanned by public sentiment in removing
from our statute books such an unjust
and infamous law.

Republicans will control their party In
the next Senate. It is even reported
that Senator David Davis is to be given
the Berlin mission to make room fer
Oglesby from Illinois. Tho great influx
of Grants friends in tho Senate will
alarm and disgust the country SO much,
that there will be very little disposition
to give Grant, the great political bum

GOVERNOR TrLDEN INDICATED.

1t was thought that tho investigation
of the cipher kilograms would not only
show that the Democrats tried to buy the
South Carolina and Florida Returning
Boards, but also that Mr.. Tilden knew
of it. The result, however, has not JUS
titled the expectation. The testimony
has shown that the Returning Boards of
both South Carolina and Florida were
for sale, and eighty thousand dollars
would have bought the vote of this State.
lesss;is lesss;is. Marble PSoii..asii and "ooe,, oed, who
made the negotiations, swear that they
did so without Governor Tilden's knowl-
edge, and that when he found it ont he
refused to allow tho votes to be bought,
saying he would never accept the Presi-
dency under such On arrangement. Gov
ernor Tilden swears to the same facts,
and concludes his testimony with the fol-
lowing utterance of noble sentiments,
which deserve the consideration Of the
whole nation, and mark Mr.. Tilden not
only as ono of our greatest intellects, but
40 one o. our purest citizens and ablest
statesman. Mr.. Hayes would do well to
ponder over Mr.. Tilden's closing words,
and reflect upon the contrast which will
appear between their regulations in his
tory. Mr.. Tilden's testimony closed be-
fore the Potter Committee as follows;
To the people who have, believe,
elected me President of the United States,
to the four and one-quarter millions of
citizens who gave me their suffrage,

Disnatohes from Washington, on the

has agreed TO support q bill abolishing

ator III. O. Butler's financial views, and,
if coupled with his idea Of repeating the
tax On State banks, viii prove great
relief to the country. The national bank
act was a war measure, the object of
which was to place the whole currency

administration. It has done this, and
the effect all over the country has been
to secure banking monopolies. which, in

The teachers examination on Wednesday
last was. doubtless, the largest gathering of
the kind ever held in Clarke County Out
OF tWeuty-one applicants, eighteen We're
licensed, three receiving lst grade, seven
% grade and eight 81 grade certificates.
Eight branches were involved; and there
being average OF about ten questions in
each, and these OF 4 comprehensive charac-
ter, the EXERCISES were somewhat prolonged,
and exclusively written, but everything
passed oil pleasantly. The regulations OF
the Territorial Board, read in the morning,
were observed with remarkable unaminity
during the day. Each applicant seemed
disposed to stand upon his own merits.
Aside from our practical teachers, students
representing Holy Angels College, st.
Luke's Parish school. and the Public school
were present, and acquitted themselves in
a very credtable manner. This is an en-
couragiug feature. as the result goes to
prove. that in Vancouver, we are not lack
ing in material for tirst-class teachers. At

Prof. j. NJ. Delaney, and Miss Emma
StewaId, both OF this place. Under the
printed regulations the standing of each
applicant is determined by the assistant
examiners, and as the papers are simply
numbered and the name not known to the
examiners, there Is no chance for any par
TALLY being shown. Had the county
Board been allowed to take the average
standing into consideration in issuing GER
tilicates as is generally practiced, several
that received Sd grade certificates would
have been entitled 2nd grade, and two that
received 2nd grade would have been granted
LIST grade. Miss Mary Cross attained the
highest standing. The number OF applicants.
and the protrscted examination imposed
quite task upon the examiners. The
work Of correcting and marking was con-
tinued by Mr.. Delaney until the close OF
the following day The writer feels deeply
indebted to the assistants for the cordial
manner in which they performed their
work, and the interest thus shown IN the
cause OF education. II.
