WASHINGTON, March 9.-The policy of the oc-
cupants of the White House, regarding the wine
question has caused only less speculation among the
Washington gossips, than the composition of the
Cabinet. The fnll text of the Presidents speech TO
the ladies who presented Mrs. Hayes portrait, yes

great deal of attention. Garfeld's reply had evil

exceedingly adroit in its mngling of sympathy with
the Temperance with the assertion of his indie

private household. lie said the intemperate adyo-

what he styled 1.-The sovereignty of the family. the
absolute right of each family to control its affairs in

American people" Taken in connection with the
further significant expression that he had been an
earnest advocate of temperance, mot in narrow

EcmnIc Clerks.

II is now universally conceded that the present
Topeka Legislature has had at It's command many
men and much pretter female engrossing and enroll
ing clerks than any of its predecessors In fact 50
notorious has this fact become, that it is mat
ter of much newspaper comment A correspondent
Of the Kansas CITY Times who has been at the cap
ital all winter. in writing 10 his Journal says:
An examination of the enrolled and enSrossed cop
les of bills presented during the present session. dis
closes the fact that gross errors in copying have
been the rule and not the exception II was hut re-
Gently that attention called to this matter, by
reading engroSsed copy of the legislative appor-
fionment hill In this bill there existed no less than
2p9 clerical errors of every description. Letters
were left out of words words were left out of
fences and sentences had been left out Of sections,
and sections had been omitted entirely y. These
things occurring with surh painful frequency Undue
ed an investigation of the matter further, and il is
found that the engiossing and enrolling rule is
perfect farce. Ii is true there of the bills
that correctly and neatly engrOssed enrolled,
but they rare. And now, perhaps, the question
will be asked why does this state of affairs exist
and what is the real cause of il Simply because n
large majority of the clerks utterly incompetent

tons whatever II is the business of the Secretary
of State employ these copysts and although there
has been but n short time that more than four or
five have been needed TO do the work. still that Off
cial has been importuned to such an extent by the
Senators and Members, that he has in his despera-
tiOn, employed female clerks just to please these
statesmen, and thus avoid being bored to death. A

virtue of their official position, endeavor to saddle
upon the State clerks, when in reality they are

common, and there are now clerks in that depart
who not allowed to do any work Of any kind,
simply because of their incompetency.

We do not publish the above extract for the pur-

Mr. EEaHeN.


The day which closes this uncventful administra-
ton of Mr.. Hayes naturally recalls the sensa-
tional epoch of its beginning. If the question was
put to an cpigrammatist, What was the most re-
markable thing about Hayes Presidency he might
answer and with truth, that it the fact of Hayes
being President at all if the question were
put TO an Irishman, he might answer that the most
remarkable thing about it was that Republican
administration succeeded it.
From the first appointment Of the Cabinet in
March, 1877, to the last order forbiddng officials to
take part in politics, the whole of Hayes has
been succession of attempts to inure the party to
which he owed his office. lie into the Presi-
dency with cloud upon his title, and that political
cowarlce which has beeh the handspring of his pol
icy led him to seek strength, not by uniting with his
friends, but by betraying them
.'Of the two ''isms" which brought into con-
trast at the beginning of the present administration
-Grantism and IIayesism-the former is u little
ahead, at the present time.-GLobe- DeD,ocrdt
The principal object Hayes has had in view, while
occupying the White House, seems TO have been the
accumulation of money. Conscious that he was not
entitled to the salary of President yet greedy to
possess it, he has drawn his salary monthly in ad-
vance.-N. Y. SBm.

If any, less than the preceding year. in the winter
crop. In Ohio. the returns indicate pretty fair
condition of the crop aud generally favorable out
look. There is more complaint in Indiana, and the
outlook is considerably impaired and generally less
favorable than year ago. In Illinois, favorable
ports pretominate and with an apparent increase in
acreage. The prospect seems TO favor an outcome
equal to last year. Missouri and Kansas reports
almost uniformly favorable and there is incras-
ed acreage in Michigan. In the winter wheat
sections of Wisconsin and Iowa there is much mccr-
tainty and the prevailing condition seems less favor
able than year ago. excepting perhaps in Iowa.
Kentucky is less favorable, and Tennessee is morr
promising than a year ago. Unfavorable weather in
the early future may considerably impair the outlook
hut the other hand the favorable conditions of the

weeks, will do great work in bringing into promise
