Fostering the Opposition in Texas.


To the Editor of The National RepBlican:
SIR: One reason for Texas, particularly
North Texas, being so strongly Democratic is
that every favor of the Government Is given
to unthankful ex-rebels or their sympathizers.
To have been u rebel, to be the son of a rebel,
is the grand sine qua mons for Federal appoint
ment in Texas. On the other hand, to be an
ex-Union soldier is to brand one as totally un-
fit to receive any consideration from tho pow
ers that be In Washington. Take this city of
Dallas, In which the writer Of this has been a
resident since 1t became city The United
States district judge is an ex.rebel soldier the
United States marshal so sympathized with
the rebels that he fed their prisoners with
luxuries in Ohio during the war; q rebel quar-
termastor's roustabout holds three Federal
positons-Deputy United States Collector of
Internal Revenue, assistant postmaster and
supervisor of elections The postmaster is u
scion of one of tho most bitter rebel families
in the State, and the United States Commits
sioner proudly boasts of bong one of the oldest
and dic-in-the-ast. ditch rebels. Again, each
OF these o otiice-hoders is and has been for years
Independently rich No end to their valuable
real estate. Everybody here knows this
Now were these offices POSSESSED by live Re-
publicans, they would be centres of strength
TO National patriotism. In place OF this they
are sources of weakness and disheartcning
decentralization. Among all their employees
not one Is u colored man, nor is thoro single
stanch, well-known, out-SpOken Republican,
Letter-carriers, clerks deputies etc, all rebels
or the sons of rebels. Now this is all known
to President Hayes, to Secretary Sherman and
POstmaster-General Key, and they also know
there are numbers of ex-Union soldiers here,
poor, because ostracism and prejudice close
almost every avenue to the obtaining of. a
comfortable living, but thoroughly competent
to hold any Federal appointments in this
State. OLD SOLDIER.

ms Own KNEw MN NOT.

The last year of the administration Of
President HAYES will demonstrate to the
country the entire hollowness of its civil
service policy. 1t is daily being shown up
as mere vapor and gross sham, which
means nothing in fact. Never in the his
tory of the Nation has there been q period
when the official machinery of the Govern
ment has been so essentially prosttuted TO
primary politics MS at the present time.
There is too much proof to sustain this prop
osition to admit of effective denial. The
most powerful arm Of q coordinate branch
of the Government has been for months
reaching out into every State through its
subordinates and manipulating primary
caucuses and conventions Seldom if ever
in the history of our National politics has
this been as conspicuously so rs now, nor
has it been pushed upon public notice in so
offensive q spirit and manner as during the
pending primary action Of the Republican
party.
All this appears the moro strange for the
reason that it is in the face Of an order
which was ostentatiously issued ut the out
set of the present Administration, and
which it was assumed would place the
| civil service of the Nation upon more
| elevated plane where the atmosphere would
be purer and more healthful. This order
was not without its immediate effect in
securing personal sacrifices on the part of
what BLACKBURN would call the "subor-
u; LII h,,N NIoN l,o
been as loose and unbinding MS the ends of
broken halyard. Neither the President
himself nor his Cabinet, save, perhaps,
Postmaster. General KEY have shown the
slightest respect for this order, which was
to make this Administration the idol OF
political chastity. One after another they
have openly and deliantly violated the
civil service order of the President and he has
hugged them TO his bosom the more closely
in the fond embrace of affection, in the
midst of this defiance, instead of calling a
halt and demanding that his order should
be held in respect and inyiolate. In view
of all this it is evident that Civil-Service
order No. should have been issued on the
first day of April, and then it would have
deceived nobody with its funning and
shammng, but now it looks very much rs
if the President had made up his mind to
assume q virtue which unfortunately could
not be reduced to practice within his own
administration. However, there is one COM
fort in all this--it will be over in little
more than three hundred days-when this
| Administration and its ciyil-seryice fiction
will come to an end together.

LETT admits the mail lists of the BLAINE Club

out. Their lists were also furnished for the
circulation ofother anti.GRANT circulars, but
Mr.. BARTLETT says the practice Of the club is
not to attack other candidates, but merely to
send out literary matter in support of BLAINE.
The essence of this is that the BLAINE
Club did not stab General GRANT directly,
but opened the door by which his enemies
could get at him and pcrpotrate the deed.
