salaries OF the German Officials.


Official salaries are very Low in Ger
many compared with those in England
The entire salary of the Imperial Chan
cellor, Prince Bismarck, from all sources,
both as Pru.sian Minister and Chancel
lor of the Empire, is only 50, 900 marks
5000. The highest salary of a
Prussian Cabin. Minister is 36 900
marks. Pensions are o. the same M a
crate scale. They are settled on alalr
gous principles to those which govern
the English civil service pension system, =,
the pension amounting to as many
eightic'hs of the salary which was be-
ing received at the time of retirement
as there have been years spent in the
service OF the State. Ten years are
added to the record of service in all cases
where misconduct has not called for
censure. But wh-re the salary exceeds
$4,000 marks ($3, ,0O0) only the half
0fsuch excess is taken into account.
Dr.Flak, the retiring Minister Pu ublic
Works and Education entered the ser.
vice fthe State in 1877. He has con-
seqnently thirty-thr years of public
service plus ten. His salary as Minis
ter was 81, 900 marks, which become re-
ducad to 1000 for the purpose of

a Letter From General Gram

he San Francisco "Alta- Californian"
says:
We give the following extracts from a
private letter of General Grant to a
personal friend in our city. 1t was
written under date of Toxic, Japan, July
IL:
We expect to sail on the "City of
Toxic" which leaves here for San
Francisco on the 9th of August. We
have now been in Japan nearly a
month, the guests of the nation, and
have received the most unbounded
inequalities. Our first stop in the
country was at Nagasaki, where we re-
mained week. 1t was a continuous
ovation while we remained. From
Nagasaki We came up through the in
land sea to Yokohama, anchoring at
night, SO as to lose 40 part of the
scenery. 1t is grand beyond descrip-
ton, and strongly in contrast with
what We had left in China. In Japan,
the country is mountainous and green
and fresh to the verv summit of the
highest hills. In China--so far as the
foreigner usually sees tit is a flat
desert looking dust or mud plain-de
pending upon whether it is the dry or
rainy season-without anything to re-
lieve the eye. The scenery up through
the inland sea is very grand, and we
got as good view of it as is possible
from the deck OF steamer, but we did
not land anywhere. The cholera had
broken out a few days before our ar
rival all along the borders of the sea,
and was carrying Oft the people by hun
dredS.
What | said at Penang abou,
the Chinese question was without pre-
vieus tholght or preparation. had no
idea what the address to me was t. b..
until it was read in the preseucs of al
assembly. The response had to be
spontaneous, and now see nothing to
alter or take back. The fact is, the
Chinese question is not going to agi ate
the country long. The Chinese govern
ment are very anxious to keep all their
people at home and, if not interf red
with, they will stop emigration.
Very truly yours,

rHE YELL or THE BULLDOxER.

A Mississippi Paper CismOrs for
Desperate Measures Against In
depend enis.
IFrom the Corinth (Miss.) Record, Aug. 2. ]
Our people ara beginning to realize
in earnest that the Inauguration OF the
Independent -Grsenback movement is
nothing but ths reorganization Of the
sOrst type Of the Radical party
Their emissariss are travelling in every
direction, studiously endeavoring to
hood wink and deceive our people.
They are promoters of discord and To-
menters OF sedition in our midst. Their
insidous attempts to disunite and dis
organize the Democratic party will be
met and foiled. Their determined ef-
forts to precipitate another race conflict
and engender strife throughout the
land will be thwarted and punished.
We must arouse from our lethargy, and
if necessary to the success and vindica-
ton of the Democratic party-tho
great party Of the people-resort to des-
perate measures. The vindictive and
serpsntine malignity Of the Radical
leaders for our people is unbounded.
The old wet dog Radical smell will in
variably bstray them, however, sweetiy
they prat- about tho rights Of the peo
pie. The succ-ss Of the so called lude,
p-ndents will merely bs 'he restoration
OF the Radicals to power N our State
and the moral desolation and death OF
her every interest. Be not deceived.
L-t not the honeyed accents Of these
false prophets throw you off your
guard. Arm for the conflict and wage
thu war to the bitter end. Proclaim to
the world that vou are freemen and viii
never become the dupss and victims Of
Radical wales and vnlsny. The Green
back party was untimely ripped from
the womb Of Radicalism, and let US
strangle, crush and anninilate it in this
its uatal hour. Pass the watchword
along the lines, and let our battle.cry,
be death to the traitors and enemies
Of our people. Our brethern below ar.
are already in the field, and you will
soon Year that they are marching Oh to
certain and glorious victory. The NUT
teiings of the coming storm are audible
in the distance, and if the lesson of
1875 has to be repeated the sooner We
b'gn the better. Let us cry aloud
aud spare not-for Davis, Vasser and
their horrid crew of demagogues are
more dangerous enemies to ths liberties
OF our people than the worst leaders
th,t ever marshaled the hosts OF Radi.
4 aiir!n in our midst.

MEssRs. EDITORS The writer desires
to place the Neral Suasion Reform As
sociation, and it's need, before the citizens
of this city. He has always held to the
opinion tnat the peopl- o Wilmington
would sustain an association like the
NJ. S. r. A. by voluntary contributions
in money. The society has deemed it
necessary in the last to give entertain
ments, charging an admission tee in
order to raise funds to carry on their
work. T,-y have always felt in les
ser, but now in greater degree, that
giving entertainments is not their legit-
innate work. Their work is to save
men from drinking, the same energy,
talents and efforts before spent in get
ting up entertainments, ETC., they now
propose to direct in the specific line Of
their particular duties. Certainly they
think no moral man can question the
necessity for an institution Of this
character iu the city. Men of all creeds
can join hands there and work for the
good of their fellow men. They have
no dogmas to promulgate, no isms to
uphold. They believe in complete and
thorough reform, they admit the exis-
tence Of other crimes other than that Of
drinking. But they are organized for
the purpose of doing battle with strong
drink. Now do this community see the
necessity for the presence Of this insti
tuition in its midst, composed as it is
of members of this county, or does it
not. Is the M. s. K. A. an intruder or
not Is there work for them to do, or
is there not !? They have done and are
doing good to-day. They are willing
to work. Is it fair that they should do
the work, and pay for the privilege of
doing it TOO They are willing to work
anywhere in their humble way. Tenn
perance meetings might be held in this ]
city every week, and would be held, if
the churches would open their doors
TO US now and then. After vacation the
doors of their Hall will b. open for
two or three nights in
week. Is there any need of Temper
ance Hall in this city? If SO is it right
that a society composed of poor men
should pay the expenses of that Hall
The working portion of that society can
Keep sober without the aid of the Asso
;iation or Of the Hall. 1t is kept open
or the good of others. A Dumber of
heir members have been furnished
With subscription books, and will call
IN the citizens of Wilmington for fnan-
'ial aid. II our people will not give
hem money will they please note the
'eason, so that they may conclude
whether or not they want the society to
'xist. If not it will take but a turn of ths
Key to shut the doors of this Hall. By
making personal sacrifices, which the
will make if they are com
'elled, they can pay all the association
yves, but is it fair that they should do
he work and pay for the privilege
The writer t,lnks not.
