President Garfield said: "Let it once
be fully understood that continuance in
office depends solely upon the faithful
and efficient discharge of its duties, and
that no man Is to be removed merely to
make place for another, and reform will
be fully accomplished. President Ar
thur said he intended ito carry out the
policy of my lamented predecessor. y
And yet the President removes efficient
officers in Virginia, and what's more,
good and true republicans and men who
are crippled Union soldiers, for no other
reason than to make place for repudiat-
ing scaiawag democratic.

and yet there are men still protesting to

their desire to have the debt scaled.

A Corrupt Proposition Indignantly
Spurned.

The secret of Mahone's influence in
the State consists IN the fact that he
proffers Office to SO many people, and
that so many cannot resist the prospect
of getting office under his auspices. We
were shown on yesterday letter to an
other gentleman from worthy Physi
clan in this county in which he stated to
him in the confidence of personal. friend
ly correspondence that he had been of
fered the position of Superintendent and
Physician of the Western Lunatic Asy-
lum if he would support Cameron for
Governor, but that he had Indignantly
spurned the proposition, and would, like
an honest man, vote for Daniel. Now,
this Physician lives in distant portion
of this county, and has never aspired to
any official position, and certainly not
to that of Superintendent and Physician
of the Western Lunatie Asylum. Why
was he approached with this corrupt
proposition The inference is, that this
position has been offered to many Ply
sicians in this, and probably other,
counties, with the view of securing their
influence for the Cameron ticket. Does
this account for the strange fact that
some of our Physicians are the support
ers of that ticket? Does this account
for the milk in the cocoanut? Will this
explain what has been a matter of as,
constituent to number of our citizens ?
Has each of our Physicians been prom
Used this tempting position +? Has Ma
hone and his party made fools of them ?
We do not aver it. We merely give the
suspicion that haunts the minds of some,
and makes them feel uncomfortable.
The Physician we referred to was in.
corruptible. and, with virtuous indigna-
ton, spurned the proposition, and an
nounced his purpose to vote for Daniel.
We honor him for it. We have known
him since he was boy, and are pleased
to fiud that he is worthy of the conf
dence we have reposed in his incorrupt-
ible integrity. He spurns the Malone
bribe, as every honest man should, and
will do hie duty to-day by voting for
Daniel.

repudiate one-third of it? The Riddle

The splendid ortburst of sympathy
with the wounded President, and execra-
ton against his murderer at the South,
will, or at least ought to silence forever
the earnings of the stalwarts at the dis
loyalty of that section. If President
Garfield is the man we take him to be,
he will testify his appreciation of this
universal Southern sentiment in some
characteristic way, and at an early day.
Not by appointing Southern men to office
nothing of hat sort. But he will ut
ter some word Of sympathy or of COM
mendation Of the efforts Of that section
to reinstate itself. If he would only say
what is true, that reconstruction had
been fully accomplished and that there
was no difference between the North and
South, 1t would prove an inestimable
boon to the whole country.
