The New York Times, which certainly
cannot be charged with speaking for Senator

the purpose ofgiving place to such man as Judge

= Competitive Examination.

The office of Second Assistant Postmaster-G General
has salary of 500 year. 1t is charged with all the
contracts for the mail service, and is now held by
Thomas ]. Brady, formerly one of Senator 'Mortons
lieutenantS in Indiana, who was sent by General
Grant to Florida to see Mr.. Tilden counted out.
Mr.. Brady is an enterprisng patriot, who, by his
economies in office, has become millionaire, part
proprietor of Mr. Conklings organ at Washington,
orthodox churchman and the owner of a fashionable
mansion at the National Capital.
There is rush of political economists for Brady's
place. They anxious to follow in his footsteps
and to show that others extend the Chrstianzing
influences of the star service among the Indians and
the coyotes of the frontier with much success he
has DONE All they ask is fair chance to show natu-
raj ability this direction without any instruction
from Brady.
The Post-O Office Department maintains staff of dis
interested contractors whose duty is to lead beginners
in the way they should CO. They ably assisted by
several officials from Ohio, like Sixth Auditor Nc
Crew. who have sacrificed the best years of their lives
to ungrateful Republic but whose fervent hearts
still beat warmly for their native land.
We are informed that President Garfield being
professional civilservice reformer proposes to dis
pose this place by competitive examination. Every
candidate will be required to show his standing in the
party, the number of votes he control, what
amount of assessments he has paid, how many vol
untary contributions" he is willing make the in
fuence he can command in the Senate against Mr..
COnkling, and his gifts a machine manager. Sena-

Immediately.
The feelings of delcacy that prevented Mr.. James
from knowing anything about the cOllectorship of
New York will of deter him from interfering
with any matter affecting his subordnates. He is in
tensely devoted to reform, but his zeal is just
turned in another direction.-Nel0 York Sun.
Now, if only the editor of the Sun could be put
on a committee his chronic rule of public defama-
ton of private character might have some signif-
canoe. Unfortunately, however, by reason of the
crimes of Charles A. Dana, the atmosphere of
Washington has-by the deliberate action of
grand jury empaneled by authority of the United
States Supreme Court of the District of Columbia
been declared unhealthy for his presence at the
Capital of his country. In consequence whereof
his patriotic suggestions only be taken at long
range

Free Schools in North Carolina.

Two classes of men in North Carolina
are opposed to free public schools-those who are
too ignorant to be able to appreciate their value
and those who would, by keeping the masses of
the people in ignorance, be able 10 use them for
the purposes of their ambition. These classes
have always been found in this State, and to the
combination of their power are indebted for the
extremely high ratio of its ignorant voters. AL
though driven by the light of freedom to concede
something, YET every concession made 10 the edu-
cation of the people is forced and yielded with un
disguised reluctance. In olden times it trial
of skill with the two parties in playing at educa
ton to see which could do the least and yet keep
up the pretense of educating the people. Since
the rise of the Republican party in this State by
affinity these two classes have been drawn to the
bastard Democracy. 1t is we'll known fact that
the ignorant whites the poor trash" ofthe former
slaves are the warp of the Democratic party, and
these, with the old negro arStoeracy, make up the
Democracy; while it is equally well known that
the negroes are Republicans and that they covet
education as the greatest good for their children
and themselves and these, with the intelligent
whites who have education and principle enough
to make men-unselfSh men who love their coun-
try-make the Republican party, and by convie-
ton and interest, patriots and men, the staunch
advocates of popular education.-GreenS60ro( (N. c.

Malone Sustained i'm Virginia.

Everywhere in Virginia is the attitude
of General Malone being sustained by
the united voice of those who elected him
to the Senate. Nowhere is the enthu-
siasm more intense or the SUPPORT more
unanimous than in the great Southwest,
where the population is nearly all white.
Let it be remembered that the black
vote is chiefly concentrated in three of
the nine congressional districts in the
State. The wisdom of the cooperation
which has been already substantially af-
fected between the Readjusters and the
Republicans will be more fully realized
by people outside Of the State when they
are told that if the Republicans had made
State ticket, and if divisions among
the Democrats had given the former the
State, the only result would have been
the election of Governor, lieutenant
governor, and attorney-general. All
the other State offices would be chosen
by the Legislature, and not one-third of
the members of that body could be elected
by the RepublicansNlnder the present ap-
portionment. The Readjusters, reinforced
by the Republicans, will now carry the
Legislature, and Liberal like General
Malone will be chosen to the United
States Senate. Next year we may hope
to see not less than seven anti-Bourbon
members of Congress chosen. Messrs
Paul and Fulkeson, Readjuster members
elect of the present Congress, have pub
licly announced their hearty approval of
the course of their senatorial colleague
and this sets at rest all hopes the Bour-
bons may have had that they could be
inveigled or coerced into the Bourbon
camn

To the Editor Of The Republican:
Will Architect Clark rise and explain
why he declined to pay the employees in his de-
partment for the 4th day of last month (inaugura-
tion day, as the law directed? Does he plead ig-
norance an excuse for thus ignoring the author
ty of law passed at the last session of Congress
which provided for the payment of all the en-
ployees Of the Government in the District of Co.
lumbia for the day aforementioned, as well as the
coming 3Oth of May Decoration Day.? If not, what
right had he to thus openly without warrant of
law. refuse to have the payroll of his department
made out in accordance with the provision of the
law passed by Congress and approved by the Presi-
dent? 1t is high time this usurpation of power on
the part of Government officials was stopped.
This system of petty tyranny on their part is be-
coming too common in this country; especially is
it so with that class who are clothed with little
brief authority The employees in Mr.. Clark's de-
partment have great cause for complaint, as they

Estimate. fAnd 400 mitraiIIer,se

As already suggested, the foregoing
figures are but approximations, based
upon official and other data, and the esti-
mates are far from complete, the num-
bers given being, if anything, below the
actual enumerations. They are, it is be-
Heved, sufficiently accurate to enable the
reader to form pretty correct idea of the
military strength, including the organized
militia reserves or forces which have re-
ceived some training in the use of arms
of the nations indicated.
1t must be remembered, however, that
the foregoing does not represent the
forces actually available on occasion for
active operations. For instance: The
total organized military strength of
Great Britain, including Canada, India,
and colonies, is given at 2,15S,SS0 men !;
but at least one-half of these, perhaps a
larger proportion, would, in case of a gen
eral wal, be required for home defense.
Nor does the grand total of 15,579,059
men represent the ma ximum aggregate

At the dinner given to John McCul-
Tough the other day Mr.. Raymond was among the
speakers and said that Mr.. Mccullough must be
going to England for reputation; he could not have
any idea of going there for money. The speaker
had recently been there himself, and he knew how
itwas. American actors he said, never expect to
get any money in England, and they are never
disappointed. English actors, ON the contrary,
come to America for money. They get it, go back
home again, and forget all about America. He went
to England himself several years ago to play with
the late E. A. Sothern, and after playing there for
a year came back home. When he landed in New
York he expected that great reputation had pre-
ceded him; but as he was walking up Broadway
he met an acquaintance, who exclaimed: Hello,
John! Where have you been? 1 haven't seen
you for a Year, Nobody knew" added Mr..
