The morning scavenger, alias the
San Antonio Express, has something to
say about Federal Patronage in
Texas" in this mornings issue, and
quotes from a private letter on the
subject from Washington, to the effect
that the federal patronage is run by a
syndicate of republicans from Texas,
etc. 1t is always best to give the name
ola correspondent, in case like this,
or the authority will not be regarded as
worth much. A gentleman "in high
authority"-ls in very small business,
writing private letters to the m. S.
Now, the m. S. is no authority upon
any matter regarding republicans; in
politics it belongs to the lower order of
democratic journals, to-wit: the paid
organs; the limited acquaintance of the
editor of that sheet with the people of
Texas, and the fact that he knows moth
ing of the standing socially, personally
or otherwise of our citizens. makes him
a poor judge upon any subject
touching the society" qualifications
Of any republican for federal posi-
ton. He talks of "men moving in the
best society" just as if he was acquaint-
ed with 1.-The best society,"" Whenever
a man attempts to put up a best So
ciety" argument upon the public, it is
an evident conclusion that he is an
ass, or that he is attempting to lead
the public into the idea that he is con-
versant with "the best society" The
editor OF the m. $. particular "set"
may be quite choice, and even fashion
able-possibly 'jam up"-but it is
matter not likely to disturb the COM
mon, everyday world.
"Men who move in the best society"
are generally found at home with their
wives and children, or at their shops,
or in their fields, at work. { II >
! The idea of this jenkins of the Ex-.
press was to get in something about
respectability-a subject that he should
not be sensitive upon and, besides, it
was unnecessary to attack the respecta-
bility of the Texas federal office-hold-
ers, simply to get in the sentence,

The San AntOn1O Choutauqua Circle.
A local circle of the Chautauqua
Literary and Scientific circle is being
formed in San Antonio. In accordance
with the Chautauqua plan the mem.
bers will meet as arranged to "read''
in a prescribed corner a study, and at
the completion of those studies they
will be examined and diplomas
awarded in accordance with their pro-
ficiency. Those who cannot attend
the meeting can study the same
course at home, but the "reading'' in a
body is profitable in many ways. The
course of study embraces history, lit
erature, science, philosophy art and
religion, and is so arranged that those
engaged in daily occupations can par
ticipate in them. After the prescribed
studies are passed, the member cannot
fail to be well.informed man. The

WANTED-A BIG BUILDING.
To the Editor,

SIR: 1t is full time that we had at the ma
tional capital building that will accommo-
date at least 10000 persons and capacity of
10000 would not be too large. We very much
need here a large and cOmmodious building
that will be always ready for grand gatherings
and entertainments, inaugural balls, conven-
tions, social and political associations, Grand
Army reunions, or whatever the age or society
may call for. 1t need not be an expensive
building. The main hall might be constructed
after the manner of the track covering of the
new Baltimore and Potomac depot, with a few
rooms around about it to serve as committee
rooms, lunch rooms, cloak-rooms, &c. The
government might erect such building and
rent it at cost price. If this idea be carried
out in a good practical manner it will un-
doubtedly result most advantageously for the
District, and indeed for the whole country.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
THE SOUTHERN QUESTION.
TO the EdNor.


SIR: I sincerely thank "Ohio" for his
comparison of the southern republican Office
holding pharmacies" to the "elder brother"
in the parable of the prodigal son. The
"clder brother" is typical of that class who
want all themselves, and are opposed to any
thing like fair division. When the long
absent son returned he was warmly welcomed
and had shoes put on his feet, and was
generally well received. But the elder
brother" waxed angry, and told the
steward that he would not go into the feast,
because he was opposed on general princi-
pies, to welcoming back into the old home
stead those who had strayed off. This
younger BROTHER the prodigal, was doubt
less quite as worthy as was the "elder
brother" The old man evidently so regarded
him, for he watched this way and that
way until finally he beheld him "afar
off," Then he ran and met him, &c.
1t must be apparent to the admins
tration that tho class of fossils to
whom Mr.. Kirk alluded in his letter of
recent datc--these 'elder brothers'-are veri-
table stumbling blocks in the way of form
ing republicanparty of respcctability at the
south. When Messrs. Malone, Chalmers,
Cash, McLane, and other anti-bouTbons en-
tered the arena, demanding free ballot and
Il fair count these officC-holding fossils very
generally labored arduously to secure their
defeat.
AS Ill inc case OF UIle bGn, Long
street, of Georgia, they raised the cry of
"democrat;" that they had been "rebels"
and were not to be trusted. Gentlemen from
Georgia tell me that certain Office holding
fossils" in that state, aided by citizen of
Skowhegan, Maine, actually told tlh colored
people that Longstrcet was working in the in
terest of the bourbons, and that he had de-
signs inimical to their liberties.
1t now remains for the administration to
rebuke these "elder brothers." The day has
arrived for an innovation" that will re-
mand these fossils TO obscurity. Let the Pres
ident send for such gentlemen as Messrs.
Longstrcet, Chalmers, Cash, McLane, and
other southern liberals, and after a consulta-
tion proceed to fill the responsible Offices at the
south with anti-bourbon democrats. In no
other way can healthy anti-bourbon opposi-
ton be built up. If the dcposed fossils feel
aggrieved, let them go bodily into the demo-
cratic party. Just as they have scuttled the
republican ship, so will they strand the demo-
cratic craft
Let us open the door of the mansion and
welcome our erring southern brethren back
to the feast. Let us greet them cordially, and
rebuke those who criticise our action.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE AND THE POST
MASTER GENERALS REPORT.
no EyiHor


SIR:-The two documents above named are
the best of the kind that have been laid before
congress in many years. The subjects treated
by the President in his message are handled
in most masterly and exhaustive manner.
Though brief, very brief, as compared with
other annual messages, no one can rise from
its perusal without feeling that he has been
enlightened and instructed by its concise and
clear-cut sentences and ideas. His recon-
mendations will undoubtedly be approved by
a vast majority of the people, who care more
for the prosperity of the country than for the
success of any party or faction. In a word,
this message shows that President Arthur is
statesman of profound depth of thought, and
not merely q shallow politician. Above all,
this message forms q platform on which re-
publicans of every shade of opinion can stand
and cooperate together for the triumph of
those principles which have proved asheet-
anchor to the republic in the hour of its peril
Postmaster-General Howe's report is
crammed full of valuable recommendations
and original ideas that will favorably strike
the minds of all who read the report Every
line and every sentence will attract the deep
attention of the careful reader, for they show
that the author has closely studied the needs
of our postal system. His recommendation
that letter postage be reduced to two cents,
and that the government take charge of the
telegraph system, will undoubtedly meet the
approval of all thinking and progressive men,
