The Presidents Message

Is an able paper. He deals bold
ly and frankly and in statesmanhke
manner with the leading political
questions. On the subject OF a
free ballot he talks very learnedly
and wisely. He says the ballot is
the foundation of the government :;
that to deprive any citizen having
the right to vote of a free ballot is
to strike at the sovereign power OF
this government, which is based on
the principle that the people rule :;
that for any section of the country
to be subjected to the rule Of en-
ignorant and corrupt majority is a
great calamity ; but that to vioiste
the freedom and sanctity of the
suffrage is crime, which if persist,
ed in will destroy the government
itself. He has the manliness end
frankness to say, that the South is
not alone responsible for slavery
and for it's baneful consequences
that the nation itself is responsible
for the extension of the suffrage.
and is therefore under special obi
cations to aid in removing the illit.
eracy it has added to the voting
population. The remedy for the
evil he believes to be universal edu
cation, and says that all the consti
tutional powers of the nation and
the States should be exerted in this
direction.
The President urges a complete
reconciliation of the different sec
tons of the country. He says
1--WE may hasten or we may retard
but we cannot prevent final recon
ciliation. n Il Let our peo
pie, leaving behind them the battle
fields of dead issues, move forward
and, in the strength of liberty anc
restored Union, win grander vic
tories of peace"
In regard to the civil service, hf
says that at the proper time he vii
ask Congress to fix, by law, the
tenure of the minor appointive OF
fees, and to prescribe the grounds
upon which removals can be made
during the terms for which the in
cumbents have been appointed
This he considers necessary fol
two reasons: 1st, to protect those
holding the appointive power from
waste of time and obstruction K
public business caused by an inor
dinate pressure for place, and
2ndly, to protect the incumbent'
against intrigue and wrong.

Alabama has established q rail
road commission composed Of a
President, with salary of $500,
two associates, with a salary of $3,-
900 each, and a Secretary, with a
salary Of 81, 500-total for salaries,
$1,000. The Alabama Legislature
is not as economical" as ours,
which gives its railroad commits
sioner only 81, 800, and even makes
the railroads to pay that.

Secretary of State-James G.
Blaine, Of Maine.
Secretary Of the Treasury-Wm.
Window, of Minnesota.
Attorney General-Wayne Nc
Yeagh, of Pennsylvania
Postmaster-G -General-Thomas L.
James, of New York.
Secretary of the Interiors;. J.

Secretary of War-Robert F.
Lincoln, of Illinois.
Secretary of the Navy-Wm. H.
Hunt, of Louisiana
Blaine is well known to the whole
country by the prominent position
he has occupied in politics for sew
eral years past. He was for several
years the Republican leader in the
House, till his election to the Sem
ate in 1877. He and Senator Ben.
II. Hill, Of Georgia, have had for
many years the reputation of be-
ing the finest debaters in Congress,
and they have often been -pitted
against each other, first in the
House and since in the Senate
they both entered the Senate the
same time. Blaine was q candidate
for the President tial nomination
against Grant at the Chicago Con-
ventioa in 1880; and it is to him
We are indebted for the fact that
Grant is not now President of the
United States.
Window is Senator from Mime
sofa, having been elected in 1877.
He was the leader and chief agita.
tor of the exodus movement in
1880.
McVeagh is a son-in-law Of Simon
Cameron, and brother-in-law of
Senator Don Cameron, but is anti
Cameron in politics. He has not
held political Office. He is very
able man.
James has been for many years
Post Master of New York City,
which position he has filed with
entire satisfaction.
Krkwood is Senator from Iowa,
having been elected in 1875. He
has held various public Offices, has
been elected Governor three times,
and United States Senator twice.
He was one of the Teller Commit
tee that visited this State in 1877.
Lincoln is the son of ex-President
lincoln, and is an able lawyer.
Hunt, is, we think, South Caro-
linian by birth; at any rate he
lived and practiced law in Charles
ton many years ago, aud moved
thence to Louisiana. He is what
is known in political parlance as a
'sscallawag", though he is said to
be not only an able man but also a
man OF unimpeachable character.

The Mardi Gras celebration in
New Orleans last week exceeded
any former occasion. The grand
scenic display, the Arabian Nights
Tales, was handsomely illustrated
by twenty three cars. Troops from
New York and Massachusetts were
awarded the most prominent place
in the procession. The city was
filed with visitors.

The manufacture of wine is be-
coming prominent industry in
some portions of the State, notably
in Greenville County. We are glad
to see this for two reasons: lst, it
will supply 6. healthy beverage. and,
I'd, it will have a tendency to check
intemperance by weaving people
from the use of gin, whlskey and
other strong and injurious drinks.
1t is a fact established by universal
experience that a nation Of wine.
drinkers are a sober people. A
gentleman who spent two months
travelling in France and Italy did
not see q single drunken person the
whole time, although vine is so
abundant and so cheap in those
countries as to be within the reach
of all. In London, where gin shops
and whiskey shops abound, be saw
a score of drunkards, male and fe-
male, in o single walk.

Closing Hours Of the 10th Con.
SreSS.

One of the last official acts Of
President Hayes was to veto the
funding bill, which he did the Sd
instant. The ground of his objec-
ton was that one section of the
bill provided that the new 3 per
cent. bonds should be the only
security receivable frola National
Banks for their circulation. He
regarded this as an attack on
the national banking system, and
calculated to hinder the estab.
lisbment of additional banks, or an
increase of capital by those already
established.
The House, the Sd, passed the
apportionment bill, fixing the mum
Der of Representatives at 3l9. The
Senate refused to concur, and the
bill failed to become a law.
