+ Levying Contributions.
The Republican managers do not in
tend to allow any officer who is delin-
l., quent in the payment of his campaign
= assessment to escape. In April last the
, Congressional Committee sent circu-
lar to all government employees, re-
= questing a contribution of , per cent,
of their salaries to the Republican cam
paign fund. In their circular the
committee sagaciously observed: 1.-The
, committee believes that YOU viii esteem
: it both privilege and a pleasure to
; make to its fund contribution. Some
Of the clerks who have large families TO
support, and receive small pay, were not
, of the same thinking as The committee
and they did not respond. Collectors
were then sent through the departments
to confer with those clerks who had not
made voluntary contributions. The
collectors raised considerable money,
but there were many who still refused
to pay. The national committee has
now taken the matter in hand, and the
delinquents have been served with the
following notice:

1t is believed that the clerks who re-
fused 10 answer this summons will be
discharged. Ci4il-service order No. l
is still in force, but r. Is. Hayes, how
ever. approves of the action of the !
Republican committees and he has
promised not to interfere in their work. I
\ WAsHNGroR telegram to the New
York Herald says that 1.-The Republican
National Committee, having been asked
to send prominent speakers into the
Southern States, it is understood that
invitations have been sTtended to the
popular colored orators of the North TO
visit the Southern States and persuade
their brethren not TO yote the Demo-
cratic ticket, but TO maintain their
fealty to the Republican party 1t is
to be hoped that when these "eolored
orators Of the North" come to tell the
colosad people how to vote, they will
explain whe, nights the colored race
enjoy in the North that is not enjoyed by
the colored people in the South. How
many oolored members the Northern
have elected to Congress.
How many they have elected to State
Legislatures how many sheriffs how
many county officers of any sort how
many 10 ANY office above, and inclusive

hotels. the colored people are admitted
to in the Northern States? We saw an
the other day, that col
,red Senator Bruce, Notwithstanding his Q
nigh official position, and his 5000, 600 {
If wealth acquired when he was Sheriff f
If Bolivar county during the Radical
aturnalia in Mississippi, had domiciled Z
It Saratoga, not at one of the fashionable m
,otels where the white folks soiourn. u
tut boarding house for colored people, it
which was all natural and right and
roper. But what we want to have
one, is for the mask to be torn off the g
republican leaders, so far as relates to te
heir professions about the colored race ly
a the South, that their hypocrisy and ne
alse pretensions may be revealed. re
