LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
A GENERAL TALK ABOUT POLITICS.
To he Editor.

TO The Editor.
SIR: In the interest of the true welfare oi
the Republican party, l have the honor tc
submit the following views: 1t must be appa.
rent to the veriest tyro in politics that il
would be the height of folly for the Repub-
licans to conduct the canvass of 1884 upon the
system in vogue in the past. 1t is fact, well
known to intelligent Northern Republicans,
that in all of the Southern States, Tennessee
perhaps excepted, the Republican party is
under the domination of a class of political
fossils-mutual admiration societies, SO to
speak--who sustain the party merely for the
privilege of holding the most lucrative Fed
eral offices in their respective States. As a
rule, these men are opposed to accesslons TO
the party, lest the officers will not be
enough to go all around" Every four years
these political barnacles emerge from the
obscurity of their positions, spend their money
freely, cause themselves to be elected as dele
gates to Republican national conventions,
and, as n rule, vote for candidates not the
choice of their constituents. Unable to
guarantee tho election of single electoral
ticket, they foist themselves upon conven-
tions and participate in their councils. So far
from encouraging disaffection in the ranks OF
the Bourbon Democracy, these men act as re-
pellant forces, thereby retarding that disin-
tcgration and division in the Democratic
party so much desired by good citizens.
There must be an innovation in this
regard, if the Republican party hopes
to win in the contest of 1884. The call for
the next National Republican Convention
should be broad and comprehensive enough
embrace all opponents to Bourbon domina-
ton. The call should be so wordcd as to eX-
tend an invitation to all to participate in the
party nominations who are opponents of the
dishonest Bourbon election devices practiced
at the South The independents in each of
the Southern States should be encouraged to
send delegates to the national convention,
and il will devolve upon that body to deter
mine whether it will seat the "accessions," /"
be they Readjusters Liberals or Independ-
ents, or the old fossils" who are naught
but barnacles upon the good old Republican
ship. / am now in correspondence with lead
ing anti ti-Bourbons in most of the cotton States,
and have assurances that they will aid in
sending delegations composed of the better
class of Republicans and Independents to the
next Republican National Convention. Such
gentlemen as Hon. J. b. Campbell, the intrepid
Col. Cash, and the sagacious Gen. Chalmers
have burnt the bridges behind them, and in
1884 will be found sustaining the party of law
and order as against the dishonest Democracy.
do not advise that Republicans at the South
be ignored, but L would have them work in
conjunction with our liberal allies there, di-
viding the Federal patronage with them. The
pursuance of such policy must result in our
carrying several of the Southern States in
1884. We certainly can lose nothing by the
effort.
am, very respectfully, your obedient serv-
ant. RoLLIN II. KIRK.

THEY WANT THEIR PAY AS usUA

THEY WANT THEIR PAY AS USUAL.
SIR: Secretary Folger, with the intention CT
doing us n favor, has ordered that the clerks
of his department shall be paid in full for the
month of December on the 23d instant but has
also ordered that the usual semi-monthly pay
ment of the 10Th instant shall be omitted. We
cannot buy Christmas gifts for our families
and relatives until the clerks from the other
departments have culled them, and the rush
usual for the two or three days preceding
Christmas will prevent fair inspection and
choice. A great many clerks depending on
the usual custom not being changed, have
made pecuniary engagements for the 18th in
slant, and will be very much disconnected
Nine-tenths of the clerks prefer to be paid in
the usual manner. MANY CLERKS.

An adjourned meeting of the first subdi-
vision of the Associated Charities was held
Thursday afternoon, at o'clock, in the par
lors of the Aged Women's Home, f. L. Moore,
esq, the president, filling the chair. The re-
port of the secretary indicated an increase of
applications for aid, and showed that thirty
nine cases of destitution had been relieved
since November by the distribution of food
and fuel. The five lady managers, with their
assistants, are energetically canyassing their
various districts for subscriptions and dona-
tions to continue the good work of relieving
distress and want, and it is earnestly hoped
that q liberal response will reward their eff
forts to provide the necessary means for sus-
tanning the organization throughout the en-
suing year. The resignation of Mrs. Dr.
Loockerman as manager of the first district
was accepted, and Mrs George Hill was re-
| lieved as manager of the second district, and
transferred to the first Mrs. John Spenser
being unanimously elected to fill the vacancy
| caused by the transfer of Mrs Hill. Mr..
John II. Vorhees was appointed to act as
! delegate to represent this subdivision at the
meetings of the central division. The next
meeting of the association will be held at the
same place on Thursday, December 81.

which filled the hall.
Arrangements have been made by a num-
b + of the young married gentlemen of our
town which will add greatly to the gaiety of
the winter here, and afford much pleasure to
our young society people. 1t is proposed by
them to give, twice in each month until Lent,
hops at Forrest Hail. and as the leading
spirits in the matter are among our best citi-
zens, there can be no doubt as to the success
and perfect management of the entertain
ments, The necessary funds have been sub
soribed by our most prominent citizens to in
sure the complete success of the entire series
The first hop will take place during Christ
mas week.

| WASHINGTON, May 6.-Up to Allat,
hour tonight neither the Department
of State nor the British Legation hat
received any official information rela
tive to the reported assassination Of
Lord Cavendish and Under Secretary
Burke In Dublin this evening.
Mr.. p. A. Collins, ex-P President Of the
Land League of America, says Of the
murder: "It Ia wicked. 1t Is . mon.
strous thing to happen ut this time.
Until 1t is known who who are guilty
of this terrible crime, 1t is as useless to
speculate upon the effect as 1t was to
speculate when the first news of Presi-
dent Garfield's assassination was re-
ceived when Guiteau was not known.
If it should be discovered, a. we all
pray it will, that the assassins have no
connection with the Irish national
party, it will, of course have no effect
beyond temporarily arresting the pro.
posed humane and remedial policy of
the Government.

In Europe, and covers an area OF 1,750
acres, 1t is well planted with timber,
and at various points along the main
drives affords piotdresbue views of the
surrounding country and the neigh
boring hills.
1t is situated on the north west side
of the city, and among other aLtrac.
tions it is the seat of the vice regal
lodge, and of the official residence of
the Chief Secretary, which are situated
at somo distance from the principal en-
trance from the city. Although 1t can
not boast of the historic associations of
Hyde Park and the KeDsington Gar
dens, or vie with them IN the luxuriant
growth of stately oaks, elms and syca-
mores, it is in many respects superior
to both as a holiday retreat for the
overworked people of the city. 1t con.

are one of the chief features of interest
