The poor Department clerks at Wash
!Dgton, each of whom feels that tie
greater burden Of this vast country
rests upon his broad shoulders, have
been overcome by their excessive duties,
which last from ten o'clock in the morn
ing TO four o'clock in the afternoon, with
the short recess Of only one hour, and
duties of which consist oe small amount
of clerical labor in comfortable chairs
and spacious rooms. In view Of their
ovcrworkcd condition, they have petit
toned for release from duty at three
o'clock, which they believe would reduce
their present burdens within the limits
of endurance. The only trouble which
the considcratc heads Of the Departments
encountered III granting this request, lies
in the fact that an Act, which was prob
ably passed by some barbarous and pc
nurious Congress, fixes the hours Of SER
vice from ten to four, with one hour for
lunch. II vas, therefore, deemed ncccs-
gary, in order to justify the heads in re-
ducing the time Of service, that some
legal cObwcbs should be brushed away,
and therefore the question was referred
to the Attorney General for advice as to
how the quibb!c Of nm Act of Congress
can be disposed OF. On behalf Of the
country the next Congress NAV arrive ut
the conclusion that the abolition of about
one. fifth of the clcrkships might increase
the endurance of the remainder, and
teach them the virtue Of contcntment
The New York LLraM, however, comes
valiantly to the rescue Of the ill-uscd and
ovcrworked clerks, and condemns the
hc'ds Of Departments for delaying the
release OF their suffering subordinates
long enough to get an opinion from the
Attorney General, and shows clearly how
the business ought to have been arranged
in the following convincing paragraph /:
"The highest law officer of the Gov.
crnmcnt must study tho provisions of the
statute, and search for some means by
which they can be cvadcd with Official
propriety and without disturbing the red
tape department Of the civil service be-
iore the poor, suffering clerks, who now
now labor five hours day at reading the
papers, picking their teeth and gossiping
over current scandals, can be cut down
to four hours. How much simpler and
moro practical it would have been to re-
fer the subject to n janitor smart enough
to understand his business and provided
with wand sufficiently long to reach
the hands of the highly respectable de-
partmcnt clocksW

The Kentucky jury which tried Buford
for the murder of Judge Elliott con-
cluded its labors last week by bringing
in q verdict of guilty of murder, aud
fixing the punishment at imprisonment
for life. The circumstances of this case
were as heinous as can be imagined, for
it will be remembered that Buford &C.
liberately murdered the Chief Justice Of
the State because he rendered judg-
ment against him. In consequence of
this, she verdict of the jury in not inn
posing the death penalty is to be regret
ted, for it does not sufficiently punish the
murderer for his crime, to make his case
strong warning to all other felons who
may be tempted to wreak vengeance
upon some conscientious Judge who may
be in duty bound to decide some question
Of Law against them. It ia said that
Buford will kill himself rathc. than un-
dergo the punishment which is degra-
ding; and if this be true. he will be
more exact in the justice of the penalty
he will place upon himself than the
jury which tried him has been.

Whatever other charges may bo raked
up against Secretary Sherman in the
coming Presidential canvass, one re-
deeming quality at least must bc con-
cedcd, which is tlAt he is always CRATE
full to his friends. Ar convincing
proof OF this, correspondent Of the
Washington Post, writing over the sigma
ture of "A Republican," says that Agnes
jerks, the champion Radical female
witness who beguilcd tho monotony of
the Potter Committee with many ingcni-
GUS falsehoods, now "holds sinecure
position in the Treasury department
building which pays $1,000 year, and
that she can be seen Haunting up and
down the corridors Of the Treasury de-
partment on any day" It will be re-.
mcmbcred she was one of Mr.. Sherman's
friends when he was in New Orleans
helping to have the vnto nf that State
counted for Hayes. 1t is kind of him to
remunerato her SO handsomely now-but,
then, what does the country think about
it?,

Ex Congressman IIaralson, of Ala

interesting evidence about the negro exo-
dus. lie says that the movement is
going to set in this fall with sweep that
nobody now dreams of. From his own
district, he thinks rs many as fifteen
thousand will go, which would be ut the
rate of hundred thousand for the whole
State. He reports the darkies simply in

useless to argue with them about it as tn

A SUMTER MURDERER CAPTURED
a letter from Hendersonvillc, to the Co.
lumbia Register, says that Rodgers, who
shot and killed McCutchen in Sumter
some time ago, was arrested in Brevard,
Transy!vania County, N. c., on the oath
instant. Rodgers assumed the name of
Stokes, and had completely covered his
proper name, but a long season of success
lessened his vigilance, and letter writ
ten him by y relation in Sumter, advising
a change Of base, fell into the hands Of
some companions who proposed to read
it and "sec what his sweetheart had to
say" These gentlemen were startled at
the contents, and at once acquainted the
proper officer, WAC, upon intcrrogating
the prisoner and satisfying himself that
there was something wrong, made the
arrest. Mr.. Rodgers confessed every
thing, and expressed perfect willing
ness to return and stand his trial. lie
is now in Jail at Brevard.

The Missouri Republican has the fol-

the effects of the shrinkage in values,
and of the increased purchasing powers
Of money: "The nnindebted farmer ia
quite as rich now, with farm valued at
$4,000, as he was ten or twelve years
ago, when his farm VIVA valued at 80 600;
but the debtor farmer who owned farm
valued at 5000, mortgaged for So 500,
is to-day not worth cent. Not that his
fatm has shrunk in real value till 1t can
not pay the debt, but that the debt has
expanded in value till itpabsorbs the

The Median, thus criticises Governor
Simpson for appointing Mr.. Rocho Phos-
phate Agent:
Governor Simpson should be moro
careful in his appointments. He can
Ergue case in court, and he can make
good speech on the stump, and he can run
the State government with far less news
paper pulling than his illustrious prede.
cessor, but he can't make appointments.
If he would only free himself from the
unwise counsels of those who have
crowded around him and do what the
people tell him, he would make d much
better Governor and do moro to merit the
gratitude of his countryu1en.
Governor Simpson has no doubt been
very remiss. The sooner he corrects his
oversight and secures the wise and pru.
dent advice of the Medium, md acts upon
it, the better it viii be Tor mis- success in
life, and his reputation after death. The
Gcrernor ought to have known this from
the Seg,aning, but if he goes on much
longer appointing "clever and capable
gentlemen" IN Office, without the consent
of the Meaism. no will ruin himself.
