publican administrationin the departments
and in the District have been called upon
TO help turn out the heads of bureaus who
have given them the places they hold.
Not man has.escaped the call, and we do
not belicveone has refused to pay up. Not
less than $4,000 is expected hom this
source by Mr.. BXRNUM's committee.
In New York every salary is taxed at
high rates, at least double the sum asked
for here by the republican committee, nor
do the democratic committees ask at all; il
is pay or go in New York. The same
process is in force in Baltimore, and $4,000
is ordered to be raised from office-holders
alone for campaign purpose. So in every
democratic state and city government the
oflice-holders are required to contribute
something to aid the party which gives
them office.
We see nothing wrong in this. On the
contrary, ii appears to us q natural and rea-
sonable method by which TO keep oiled the
machinery of party. This is a government
by parties, and parties have expenses which
have to be paid; and who should be more
willing to pay than those who reap the
party rewards? Every party has pursued
this plan and every party will pursue it
until some millennial day when parties hre
no more. That day is not close at hand,

WE are glad to be able to applaud the
earnestness with which the people of Clay
ton county, Ca, have acted in arresting the
perpetrators of the outrage upon the negro
family near Joncsboro', an account of
which will be found elsewhere. The state
press warmly seconds'the call for justice on
the parties guilty. The Atlanta Constitution
says:
In about mNth Clayton superior court
will be held aud Me most searching nvcsti-
cation of this infamous crime will he had.
There seems to be eveiN probability that every
man who dyed his hanks in the blood Of those
| innocent negroes will be brought to justice.
| Human nature recolls from the horror of the
murder of the womanand the fendish cruelty
to the other members of the family. Every
sense of honor, of justice and of manhood de-
| mands that no guilty man should escape the
consequences Of q crime which, for deliberate
cruelty and pusillanimous eowardice, has
never boensurpassed.

process may see m prepostorous, but In this
instance the homeopathic principle that "like
cures like" Is adopted by physicians of all
schools and can be demonstrated to anybody
by practical OK peri ment. The vapor of the
hot room causes no Inconvenience to one who
enters It from tho torr ia atmosphere without,
but, on the contrary, soon relieves him by its
promotion of oopious perspra tion. After a
refreshing shower bath he pluuges into the
cold swimming pool, aud can try variety of
showers and sprays by turning faue cts. When

feels so cooled and ref reshed, so supple and so

WHOLESALE DEMONSTRATION
OF SOUTHERN REPUB-
LICANS.

The Memphis Appeal, with an
effrontery truly bourbon, makes the
Wholesale and indiscriminate charge
that southern radicals are curse
to the south. The names of num-
Der are given, who, in the opinion
of the Appeal have done great in
jury to the south, among them, that
of our late honored associate Gov.
Brownlow. Now the man who as
serts that Gov. Brownlow was an
enemy to the south, asserts that
which is absurdly false. That he
opposed secession, and during the
rebellion was loyal to the govern
ment is true, but are there those
now, at this late date, who believe
that the success Of the rebellion
would have been beneficial to thu
south? Does the Appeal believe sol
IF so, as a matter of curiosity il
nothing more, we would like
to hear the reasons upon which such
belief is based. The south never
had a truer friend than Gov. Brown
low. Had his advice been taken
thousands of southern men who nov
sleep in untimely graves would b.
living. If the people Of the soutl
had taken his advice in 1861, mil
lions of property squandered ant
destroyed in the south would hav,
been saved. We repeat, that such
