The President has appointed Senator
Teller, of Colorado, to the position of
Secretary of the Interior in place of Mr.
Kirkwood, and Hon. w. E. Chandler, Sec
rotary of the Navy in place of Mr.. Hunt. We
know nothing Of Mr.. Teller, except what is
given in the papers, which assign him high
character as LAWYER, and a conservative
record as United States Senator. AS it
was determined to give this appointment
to the Pacific States, the choice made, 1t is
said, will be as acceptable as any that could
have been made.
We are better informed as to Mr.. Cham
dler, and have no hesitation in stating that a
wiser or more opposite selection could not
have been made. He is gentleman of very
decided ability, "a politician of wide experience
and sagacious Judgment, and Republican
without fear or reproach. We have the as
surance in the appointment of Mr.. Chan
dler that there is to be at the head of the
Navy Department Republican in fact-a
man who believes the Republican party is
right in its principles and policy, and one
WIZ app oCia1oo anu syupdLnlAcs WILL
those who fight Republican battles wheth-
er in the South or North, and will stand by
them as far his influence and support can
go. Although Mr.. Hunt is from The South,
he has not for years been part of the
South in the fierce political contests in
which Southern Republicans have had to
engage, and for ourselves we prefer to see
at the head of the Navy Department such
an aggressive Republican as MIR. Chandler
to one like Mr.. Hunt, who looks at the con-
flcts of the Republicans of the South from
affair. To our mind, the true policy of the
administration is TO recognize that class of
Republicans who are found in the thickest
of the fight with the Bourbon cohorts. and
not those who bear the colors of the party
without any of its scars. Mr.. Chandler,
although Northern man, knows what
Southern Republicans have to contend with.
and will not be reluctant to extend that
aid which the emergencies of a contest may
suggest.
We congratulate the President and the
Republicans of the country upon the wise
selection made in the choice of Mr.. Chandler,
He will prove to be the right man in the
right place, and while ministering the af-
fairs OF his office with scrupulous regard for
the interests OF the Department over which
he will preside, will not lose sight of the in
terests of the party he in part represents.

The radical changes proposed in the Leg
islature in the various bills now under con-
sideration, are very bitterly denounced by
the Bourbons. This is not strange. 1t
means the total overthrow and uprooting OF
the Bourbon power, and the succession, in
all the departments of government, of the
party the people have called to rule. Less
could not have been expected, The con-
test last fall was bitter and fierce. 1t was
political life or death for the parties to it,
and as the Re-adjusters won and the Bour-
bons lost, they should accept the decree
philosoph ically. They invited their own
undoing by the extremes to which they re-
sorted to retain power, and having
lost, they should not complain if the success
full party applied the same rule to them that
they applied.to others. The changes would
not be so sweeping had not the practice
heretofore been so completely partizan.-
Scarcely any office was so insignificant that
it was not Of sufficient Importance to com,
mand partizan consideration, and as every
position was filled by Bourbon adherent.
every change that is made necessarily strikes
of A Bourbon head That is the logic of the
result of the election OF last fall and Of the
situation.

Senators Williams and WINFIELD.

These two Republican Senators are lust
now the objects of the especial solicitation
of the Bourbon press. They have been on
most party measures voting substantially
with the Bourbons and against the coalition
lists. In the closely balanced strength of
the two parties their influence has been de-
cisive, and hence the honeyed phrases and
seductive appeals OF the Bourbon press for
them to maintain their consistency and their
honor! These complimentary comments
and appeals, coming from such source,
ought to be sufficient to determine the ac-
ton of the Senators against the party .hese
designing and hypocritical schemers repre-
sent. If Messrs. Wingfeld and Williams will
recall the bitter and fierce denunciations
they have received from the Democratic
press-the arbitrary and proscrptive policy
that party has invariably enforced-the
fact that every office-judicial, legislative,
executive and municipal-under their con-
troll, has been assigned to the most pronoun-
ced partzans. and Republicans as effectual-
ly DISTINGUISHED and prescribed from holding
u.
they had been convicted criminals--that Sc.
cial and business intolera nee, smplv he
cause Republicans believed the PRINCIPLES
OF their party were right and dared to pro-
claim and maintain them, have been relent-
lessly practiced against them--they will hes
itate before they will give them any further
aid and comfort. The Readiusters NAV
have committed blunders, land we are free TO
confess that we do not approve all they
have done and propose, yet, when we glance
over the history of the past and marshal the
wrongs and insults Republicans have had
to endure--the broken faith, the violated
laws, the insolent, domineering, despotic
methods they have had to withstand, we
would be less than nan did we not avail of
every opportunity, of every measure, and
any honorable coalition to destroy their
power. and visit upon them a just retribu-
ton. The soft word and agectionate appeals

now directed to the Senators we have named
are designed to deceive and delude. 1t is
only to use them for selfish. partizan purpo-
SEES, and when these have been accomplish
ed, they will be just as roundly denounced
as they have been heretofore, and even more
contemporary treated. because they will
have allowed themselves to be duped BY
political enemy that has never shown gen.
crosby, manly tolerance or disinterested, pa
triotic motives.
We believe if Senators Williams and Win
field will calmly consider the situation-their
duty to their own manhood, to their party,
and their State, they will give their poten-
tal votes against Bourbon policy, machina-
tions and tyranny, and rid the State of its is
astrous influence. AS Republicans they
have all to ga in and nothing to lose; as Vir-
ginians they cannot make the condition of
the State worse than it has been, and as cit
tizens they can rebuke the intolerance and
injustice hich they have so UNREASONABLE
and wrong fully been made to suffer.

Hon. Frank Hatton is one of the most prac-
tical, clear headed officials the President has
called to assist in the administration of the
Government. He is especially fitted for the
position-First Assistant Postmaster General
he holds,and never fails, in his rulings, to do
the exact thing required to meet the case be-
fore him. His letter to the Cincinnati post
master, published elsewhere, has the ring OF
common sense. 1t lays down the only practi-
cal civil service law that practical men want
to see enforced, and is worth all the sentimen-
tai refining that has emanated from transcen-
IDENTITY civil service reformers from the time the
new fangles idealstic civil service reform was
first suggested. Robust common sense, and not
simpering snobbery is what is needed in
politics and government and this can be
found with the people without setting apart
a choice few trained in court mannerisms and
pedantic teehnicalities, as the divinely anoint-
ed agents to purity and preserve the govern
ment which the peopleereated and ought to
conduct through those who feel a sympathy
with them.

A Sensible Ruling.

First Assistant Postmaster General Hatton
has written letter to the Postmaster at Gin
cinnati in reply to question touching the ELI
gibility of postal clerksssand other employees to
local municipal, offices. The sections of the
postal regulations referred to are the order of
President Grant, forbidding the holding of
such positions by federal officers, and the
civil service order of President Hayes relative
to the participatonlof federal officers in cam
paign and other political work. The following
is the letter:
PosTOFFICE DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF FIRST ASST POSTMASTER GEN,
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 5, 1882.
s. A. Whitfield, Postmaster, CincSnnatj, Ohio
SIR-Your letter of 22d ult., has been duly
considered. The inquiry in regard to whether
the Executive orders. page 321 and 1898, Z. L.
and Reg. 1879, include employees of postofices
is answered in the negative, unless the en-
ployment interferes with the efficient discharge
Of their duties in the postof1ice. A postot1ice
clerk may, under this limitation, accept the
office of alderman. In regard to the provis-
ions of the order relative to the participation
in political campaigns" so far as they are ap
plicable to pGstmasters and other employees OF
this department, | desire to say The fact that
citizen is deemed worthy and competent to
fl a public station should not, in my judg
ment, deprive him of any of his rights as Cit
izen, so long as he does not neglect the duties
entrusted to him. | believe it the right of
every man to use his best efforts to promote,
by all proper means, the success of all public
and political measures that will, in his judy
ment, be beneficial to his country. Earnestness
in the discharge of their duties as citizens
should not involve offensiveness on the part of
public servants. On this subject let me quote
from the letter of Gen. Arthur in accepting
the nomination rendered him by the Republi
can Convention at Chicago. His language is
peculiarly applicable to the inquiry you make.
He says: Il will add that, by the acceptance
of public office, whether high or low, one does
not, in my judgment, escape any ofhis respon
sibility as citizen, or lose or impair any of
his rights as citizen, and that he should enjoy
absolute liberty to think and speak and act
in political matters according to his own will
and conscience, provided only that he honora
bly,, faithfully and fully discharge all his off
cial duties"
Within the limit indicated the public officer
is free man, socially and politically, with a
mans duties and responsibilities to answer
for Very respectfully,
FRANK HATToN.

ITEMS FROM LyCKEY.

ED. JOURNAL Since my last commun-
ication some changes and Improvements
have been made in Luckey and vicinity.
More lots have changed hands and another
store building has been added TO our bust
ness. 1t was put up by Brown Brothers
for Thomas Campbell for grocery store.
There is talk ola dry goods and another
boot and shoe store to be built here this
fall. Come along gentlemen, there is room
for such business, also for hardware
store.
Mr.. Charles Griner has moved into his
new drug store building and il looks neat
and business-like. Wish you success
Charles.
Luckey now has two churches the AL
brights and the Methodist. The Albrights
have just completed neat little church
building and the Melhodists have laid the
foundation 10 theirs. 1t stands upon a
solid rock and may its future growth be RS
permanent and lasting as the foundation.
Weekly meetings are held To improve in
vocal music, and are always we'll attended .
II is Intended to organize Sunday school
as soon az the church is ready to be occu
pied. 1t is to be ready for plastering by
the 1st Of October, part of the lumber is
already on The ground. Brown Brothers
have the contract to build it, and have
their hands full OF work and can hardly
get help enough to push their jobs along
az fast as they desire. They have put up
several buildings in Luckey.
1t is getting quite dry and rain is need
ed. Some ground is too dry to pillow for
wheat.
Everything is progressing finely about
Luckey and vicinity.
There seems to be general indifference
in political matters and nothing much is
said about politics.
The school examiners held mn examina-
tion at the Penibervlle school house, Sat.
urday, September 10Th. II makes it very
convenient for them 10 hold examinali ons
indifferent parts of the county, and the
idea is well liked.
