Sharp Figuring.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Chicago liner Ocean gives some
additional particulars as to how
Gen. Bragg succeeded in getting
his friend, ex-senator Barney APP
pointed to a committee clerkship, to
the great discontinue of congress-
man Sparks, of Illinois. Sparks is
Chairman of the Committee OF
Military Affairs, and a member OF
the Committee on War Claims.
Bragg is Chairman of the War
Claims and member of Military
Affairs. Mr.. Gerard, of Illinois,
was clerk of the War Claims Com
mittee for four years while Eden
was Chairman, and wants to retain
the position. Sparks, who is his
friend, is anxious that he should.
This didn't suit Bragg, who had
written to ex-State Senator John
A. Barney, of Dodge county, Wis
consin, to come and take the place,
and so he tells Sparks to make
Gerard clerk of Military Affairs,
a position equally profitable and
dignified, but Sparks has another
fellow whom he wants to take care
Of as we'll as Gerard. So he gets
the War Claims Committee to-
gother, and by electioneering gets
enough votes to override Chairman
Bragg and elect Gerard clerk.
Bragg, very mad, gets the Military
Affairs Committee to meet, and by
electioneering gets Barney elected
clerk over the protest of Chairman
Sparks! Tit for tat,

THE ZULU WAR.-Cable repor's
from London say that the fighting
strength of the Zulus is now estimated
at thirty-three thousand aud fifty
warriors, six thousand three hundred
aud fifty being killed. The full
strength of the army, except a few
thousand with the King, was engaged
in the recent big battles. Cetewayo
is much disheartened, but is collect
ing all his forces for further resist
ance. He receives some encourage
ment by news of the repulse of the
British army at Bautal nd, where they
attacked strong position of Kafirs
with considerable forces, and were de.
feated, losing thirty men and officers
killed. besides forty wounded Lord
Chelmsford is recognizing his triple
invading column. The reinforccments
arriving in splendid condition. Fresh
operations are expected to commence
in few days. The colony generally
supports Sir Bartle Frere. Chelmsford
is regaining some of his popularity. but
is still blamed for past disasters. There
is great anger in military circles in
London, that the British dead still lie
unburied at Isandula.

Politicians.

Horatio Seymour, of New York,
in a recent interview gave his opin-
ion of that much abused class poll
ticians. He takes a broad and sens.
IDLE view of the matter, which is
the more noteworthy coming fro m
a man eff his great experience and
acknowledged ability as a states
man. He says:
"lalways liked politics, and, what is
more, like politicians They are much
abused class 1t is the fashion to sheer a,
them, but think they are better men as a
rule than merchants aud bankers and other
representatives Of what is called rsspecta-
b,lity. They make more SO rifces and do
more unsel6sh work for others than bust
ness men ever think Of doing. They cult
vate certain chivalric sense OF honor.
Even some W BIO are naturally corrupt will
refuse the most tempting brides when the
integrity OF their party Is involved have
seen enough of political life to satisfy me
that its influence is eevat,ng and not de-
grading. l would much rather be tried by
a jury of my political opponents who were
acknowledged politicians, than by jury OF
respectable business men who said that
they took no particu lar interest in politics.
but usually voted the Republican ticket =.
From them should expect gross injustice
and prejudice ten times as intense as ms
avowed political opponents would display.
The man who serves a cause. if it is not a
positively bad cause, is ennobled by the
service. He learns to look st men, AS well
as doctrines, from a higher stand point
thay mere personal sel6shness."

THAT cheerful idiot, De La
Matyr, has introduced his little bill
into Congress directing the with
t1rawal from circulation of all bank
notes and repeating them with
gTeenbacks. Of all the asses that
have recently found their way to
Washington Mr.. De La Matyr
leads the column. He evidently
knows as much about legislation as
the ordinary Greenbacker knows
about theology. This passage OF
such a bill would produce the great
est panic known in the business
world in this century. The banks
would have to promptly enforce
collections and business men would
be called upon to pay at once or &c
% the wall, The result would be
ruin and bankruptcy. We do not
mention this because we have any
fear that the plan of Mr.. De La.
Matyr will receive any considerable
support, but simply to prove what
adelectable, delicious, and savory
nincompoop this Greenback lunatie
has proved himself to be.

The Memphis Avalanehs does not
agree with the Louisville Courier
Journal as to the cause of the negro
exodus. The Avalanche says the
secondary teachings Of the Bour-
hon press and politicians have fur
mshed the material now feeding
the emigrant movement, as they
caught only bitterness, and marked
5m social prescription all who
sefused to submit without question
% their partisan guidance. AS to
persecution and its effect, the Ava.
laache says:
The lawless classes were but too ready
to begin the dastardly work of persecu
ton. They found it certain means O
suppressing the ballot. They inaugural
ed reigns Of terror, shot and killed wher,
shooting and killing became necessary
and so preyed on the fears of the unpro
protected blacks as to practically disfran
chrse them in every locality where thu
bull-dozing programme was adopted
And the Bourbon presses and publica
tons, instead of demanding protection
for all classes under the laws, pronounced
all charges false hoods, and at least indi
rectly encouraged the dastards to furthe
deeds Of violence. This is the truth, ant
the truth should be told.

THE Milwaukee Sentinel, which
for time was inclined to favor
Grant as the next republican candi-
date for the presidency, has now
Topped and is opposed to him,
because certain republicans whom
it does not like are for Grant. And
by the same process of reasoning
many republicans who were at first
inclined to look with disfavor upon
Grants candidacy again, are now
10 favor of it, because the Sentinel is
on the other side. All that they
want to know IS that the Sentinel is
down on Grant. That satisfies
them that he is the man whom the
party and the people want.

1t Sees the Point.

The stupidity Of the confederate
brigadiers in congress over the
army appropriation bill is acknow-
lodged by one democratic paper at
least, the Beaver Dam Argus, which
says:
President Hayes has vetoed the Army
appropriation bill because Of the extra
Legislation attached 10 it. ard the ''smart
Alexis" who attempted the thing will now
have the fun of backing down, for no party
AN succeed in campaign, after refusin G
to make the appropriations necessary to
propel the government.

to the president, therefore, with q
threat that he must sign, or the
government must starve, and more.
over the bill in itself-which is sim.

bill-being very Objectionable, we

him to stand by them, as there il
