Mr.. d. B. Eaton, president of the civil
service commission, had conference with
Judge French, acting secretary of the treas
ury, yesterday in regard to the right of the
latter to make certain promotions in the

law. Mr.. Eaton said that it had been held by
the commission that inasmuch as they had
not yet prepared suitabler regulations covering
this subject aud as such regulations could not
be enforced until they should receive the ap-
proval of the President, the department was
at liberty to make all the necessary promo
tions at once, under the regulations hereto
fore in force There are only a few vacan-
cies IN the Treasury department to be filled
by promotion, and action on these WSts be
taken in q day or two.

The Real Rnscala.

OF all the plausible catchwords and phrases
which have been invented by baflled de-
mocracy for the purpose of argument to the
people by epigram rather than reason, the
Dana cry Of turn the rascals out" is tho most
pitiable. 1t has been treated, appropriately,
with fun and ridicule, but may be used ser-
ously to point moral and adorn a tale. This
government was never SO ably and frugally
administered, never so honestly conducted as
under the management ofthe republican party,
whose leaders are termed "rascals," and
whose turning out" is thus shrewdly So
licited. The real scoundrels were they whose
administration rendered our bonds almost
worthless in the markets of tho world, in =
volved us in gigantic civil war, made the
homes of every section houses of mourning,
filled the land with the walls of tho mur,
dered, defed national authority, and stole
the governments of state after state by
methods of assassination and brutality, fought
against the resumption of specie payments,
and now endeavor to reduce our laboring
men to ths level of the pauper toilers OF
Europe

In Union There Is Strength.

This trite but patriotic aphorism re.
ceived new enforcement, as applied to
the American Union, by Lord Coleridge in
his farewell speech at the Union League
Club. 1t conveys world of meaning.
1t would seem, in the time which has
passed since the Rebellion, with the cool.
ing of passion and the perfect work of calm
reflection, that every confederate must
shudder at the thought even of the con-
sequences of the success of his mad blow
for empire. Lord Coleridge closed his
speech as follows:
There Is another reason, perhaps, why 1t Is
fitting that the last few words that have to
address to an American audience should be ad-
dressed to this club. As l understand 1t, 1t
was founded at time when the unity of your
great country was in real danger. 1t was
founded to preserve that unity and to help to
ward off that great danger, and it remains to-
day living evidence of that time, now that
your unity has been indestructably established.
/ do not pretend to give any opinions Of things
that have gone before, but should think now,
after all that has come and gone, every true
patriot must be heartily glad that unity was
preserved and has been established. Because
1t is plain that II you had been broken up into
two nations and these nations had been, 80 to
say, encamped against one another along a
hostile frontier, perhaps more than two thou
sand miles long, you would have had 30 much
to do between you at home that as far as for
eign nations are concerned you might as well
have been blotted out Of the map. Therefore,
as a man who wishes the advance of civiiza-
ton and the furthering and strengthening of
those ideas in the world Of which the Ameri-
can republic is the chief living symbol-there-
fore it is that rejoice that unity was preserved

The Old Methods.

The methods in Mississippi, Alabama
and throughout that region by which the
South was made solid for the democracy,
are recalled by the accounts of murders
and Ku Klux outrages which come up
from the South since the recent demo-
cratic "victories there. Virginia has
been heard from. The old method of
murder and terrorism was in full blast in
Mississippi. The newspapers give the
particulars of the murder of j. R. Mat
thews at Hazelhurst in that state. The
reports say that plans we're perfect
ed throughout the South by the Bour.
bons to suppress, preparatory to next
years campaign, any attempt to break up
the "solid South !" by the organization of
an Independent party. Matthews was a
southern man, and at the outbreak of the
war was against secession and since the
war republican. He was the admitted
leader of the independent movement in
Copiah county, deputy collector of in
ternal revenue, and one of the largest tax.
payers in the county. The ticket he was
supporting had not colored mans name
upon it, except for some of the lower pre-.
cinct officers. 1t was white-man's move
ment, supported by the colored people.
Matthew'S brother was the candidate for
sheriff. A week before the election, it
is stated, armed men were riding at
night through the vicinity, firing into
houses and whipping negroes. T. j.
Wharton of the circuit court, while
presiding at Hazslhurst, read notice to
Amos Burnett, chairman of the independ-
emit executive committee, to keep out of the
county, if he wished to save his life. The
day before the election an armed body of
men, commanded by E. B. Wheeler,
marched into Hazelhurst. They passed
resolutions warning Matthews to remain
in his house on election day. To disregard
this order, the death penalty was attached.
The next morning he went to the polls,
his ballot had hardly left his hand, the in.
inspector was pronouncing the word
"voted," when he turned and was shot
down by this same Wheeler, who was
peace officer for the precinct. Matthews
was alone and unarmed. He received
twenty-four buckshot in the face, dying
instantly. There was crowd about the
polls, but not hand was raised to pro-
tect him nor to arrest Wheeler. The lat
ter was Immediately put at the head of a
crowd of men to visit other precincts in
the interest of the democrats. The next
day mass meeting, presided over by the
chairman of the democratic committee
declared that all persons who should at
tempt to bring justice upon Matthews
murderers should be declared outside the
pale and protection of the law.

Honor to General Sherman.

At an informal reception given to him by the
Grand Army Of the Republic in New York city
the retiring general Of the army addressed his
comrades as follows 81 thank you very much,
fellow-ccmrades, for the hearty welcome you
have given me l have come here in response
to your call, although 1t is not customary to
celebrate ones own funeral. | would rather
meet you boys here tonight face to face, than
any OF your Vanderbilts or other nabobs. 1t
requires very little effort to recall the days
when we were soldiers in fact and when we
get together as we are here tonight, 1t is but
natural that we should recall them. When the
first idea OF approaching war came upon me In
1861, 1t almost stampeded me- / could not see
away fifty yards ahead The young men un-
der me were uttering what thought treason
able speeches. | reproved them for it, but
looked around me and found that their fathers
the southern planters, were talking in the same
manner. Then realized in all my bones that
there was going to be fight, and l also thought
that II there was to be any fighting done, 1t was
time to get on the other side. 1t became plain
that sooner or later we would be obliged to de-
termine whether we were to be freemen or
slaves The southerners had their black slaves,
and IL they we're permitted to dominate we
we would be their white slaves. The southern
gentlemen wanted to rule us; the minority
wanted to override the majority, and yet the
North did not realize that there was to be a
war until four or five months after war had
been really begun. When came up to Ohio
men we're ploughing their fields and attending
to their usual vocations without notion OF
the war that was coming on them. When
told them that we were on the eve of a civil war,
they lauged at me as fool, and perhaps was
one. 1t was not until Sumter was fired on
that the Nations heart was moved The sound
of that gun awoke us from our lethargy. Then
the American people acted You who were
actors in that struggle may we'll be proud Of
the part you played in rescuing your country.
Since that time new generation has sprung
up. Boys who were not then born, are now
voters. The destiny Of the Nation has been
taken out Of our hands. We are now a COM
paratively small minority. 1t is well. however
that we should assemble together and keeI
alive the patriotism OF those days, the memory
Of the hardships endured, and the memory o.
dear companions whose bodies lie beneath
southern battlefelds. 1t Is we'll to tell the sto
ries Of those days over again to each other, and
| to tell 1t to your children and your children'i
children at the freside, that they may know
how their country was saved and who saved
it. At one time doubted the advisability Of
forming or keeping up such an organization az
the Grand Army Of the Republic, but am now
convinced that you did well in organizing such

The New York Times was opposed to
Malone and rejoiced at his defeat. 1t
however acknowledges with other papers
the old familiar agencies by which defeat
was accomplished. The Times says
6" The collapse of the Malone movement,
we may fairly infer, has brought to grief
the plan for an extension of it through
the South by series of coalitions with
all and any who would oppose the democ-
racy, no matter what were their objects.
This. however, as we have said, does not
dispose of the southern question, but
brings it again into prominence-not 80
great prominence as it had even three
years since, and in form by no means 80
apparently hopeless, but in a way to de-
mand serious attention. Malone was de-
feated to certain extent, by the intimi-
dalton of the negro voters. The spirit
of his opponents was largely the arrogant
spirit of the Kuklux and the White
League. The tone of the regular DEM
ocratic press and of the meetings which
were held after the Danville disturbance
shows plainly enough the same intolerant
and unjust attitude toward the blacks,
the same undemocratic prejudice against
the race as citizens and voters, the same
moral twist as to their rights and obligs-
tions which were to be seen for ten years
after the war. And though this sentiment
is not so strong or 80 general as it then
was, it still exists in degree sufficient to
seriously menace the integrity of the suf-
frage and TO demoralize many political
communities"

THERE seems to be no chance for the
success of constitutional prohibition in
Iowa. With a view of ascertaining the
sentiments of the general assembly on
this subject the Chicago Tribune recently
addressed to each of the one hundred and
fifty members circular requesting their
views upon certain points. From the
answers and information thus obtained it
appears that the legislature quite unani-
mously agrees that the constitutional
amendment has no binding force by rea-
son of the adverse decision of the supreme
court. 1t also appears that majority of
both branches of the legislature are OPP
posed to submitting a new amendment to
the people and that a majority of the re-
publican members are also opposed to
constitutional prohibition. The prefer
ence, so far as expressed, is in favor of
statutory prohibition, but it is somewhat
doubtful if even this can be carried. A
few republicans and the solid democratic
vote are against it.
