Gen. Chalmers.

In a letter to the New York Trib-
une, GeB. Chalmers explains, at
length, his political creed. and the
causes that makes him what he is.
The General claims that he has
never asked admission into the Re-
publican Church, and hat he has
never contemplated becoming a re-
publican. Notwithstanding this,
he boasts that, he threatened to
desert the Democratic party il
northern democrats did not assert
in the l~meterial development ofthe
South. Again he says: Il offered
myself as an Independent candid
atN, stating that / would retire aud
support their nominee if the Green
hackers and Republicans would
unite apon any other man they
preferred to me-" Is il not stra..g &c
that a mar will claim to be a demo.
crat, and at the same time, pledge
himselfto support a Greenback and
Republican nominee. Wear your
independent honors, General, bul
do not put on Democratic clothes

senator Georges Views on Civil Service
Reform.
Special to The Times Democrat
WASHINGTON, Dec, Ex-senator
George, Of Mississippi, to day made
a statemanlike speech on civil ser
vice reform. The Republicans, he
said, after mo:et than 20 years en-.
joyment Of the Offices of the COY
eminent, all at once discovered
that they were violently anxious
for reform in the civil service. The
results of the recent elections. NO
doubt assisted them greatly in this
discovery. They now piteOusly
plead with us, said the Senator, to
assist them in tying their hands so
they cannot be turned out of office.
The Senator said that though this
was the condition of affairs, he sin
cerely believed 1t was the duty Of
Congress to legislate in favor of re.
fern in the civil service. He did
not believe in the policy that 'tO
the victors belong the spOils." he
believed in l~sgis!ating for the good
of the whole country, without re.
gard to party interests. The best
way 10 strengthen a party was 10
make party interests secondary tC
the interest Of the people.
