Something In This.

To the Editor OF THE REPUBLICAN;
While reading the Hints to Office
Seekers " 1t is suggested to my mind that, though
ones Senators and Representatives decide to help
him. the chances are that the clerical bureaucrats
will defeat him. Since the time Hayes policy was
forced upon the party the Departments have been
run by a class OF clerks who have never been OF
any account politically. They are united in the
scheme to perpetuate their control Of appointments
and promotions, and also to crush out political in
auence in the Departments Those are the men
who write letters to the Democratic papers on tho
evil of politicians getting appointments for their
friends. Congressman are thus frightened away
while those clerical experts secure the place for
relative or friend, Plenty Of Republicans in the
Departments agree with me that appointments
and promotions made by this ring Of clerks are
worse than anything ever attempted by members
of Congress. 3O6.

In glancing over a recent Sunday paper
we were struck with the heading of an article en-
titled Involving Arthur" When we first looked
at 1t we did not know whether he hud kicked

found II to be one of the queercst pieces of history
that modern times have ever been treated with
1t seems Mr.. Arthur Is TO be held responsible for

TO be erected to the memory of Mr.. Stewart Holland
who went down with Captain Herndon in the
Central America. Now we honestly believe Cap
tain Herndon never saw or heard of Mr.. Stewart
Holland or Mr.. Holland of Captain Herndon. Cap
tain Herndon was Lieutenant in the United States
navy, in command of u side-wheel steamer
called the Central America She foundered in Il
hurricane of Cape Hatteras, havlngsprung n leak
near her main by strains In the heavy sea she was
struggling with. Herndon did all that skill and
seamanship and gallantry could accomplish, but
In vain. Finding the ship must go down, he went
below, dressed himself in full uniform, took his
station on the starboard wheel-house, waiting for
the final moment and went down uncovered,
leaving an example of rare gallantry and herosrfi.
The records OF the Navy Department will bear tes-
tmony to the truth of this statement Stewart
Holland was an engineer on board the Collins

the Arctic she parted from her and disappeared

began firing to attract the attention of the crew OF

sinking vessel covered his feet, aud he went down

The spirit OF the Law wanted.


Some time since Mr. Hunt, Secretary Of
the Navy, issued an order, to be enforced in the
Washington nayy-y yard that persons employed on
per diem pay should be paid only for the time in
which they were actually employed, and in his
order informed the persons so employed that he
was governed by the "strct letter Of the law"
Now If this strictl letter order is carried outthe
fortunate victims Of yesterdays explosion will DO
docked for part of the afternoon or, In other
words, be paid only for the time in which they
were actually employed. Now is It not tlmo in
this great Republic, where every man Is free, for
the Secretary Of the Navy to give the mechanics
and laborer employed by the Government little
OF the spirit Oft law, he does in of every
officer that appeals to him, and not enforce old
and obsolete laws to govern the mechanics and
aborers, as is now the case In the Washington
navy-yard. The mechanics and laborers only ask
for fair play and that prison rule be enforced.
