PRESIDENT CLEVELAND deserves the re-
spect of the entire nation for one simple
trait in bis character if for no other, and
that is his abonination Of all people seeking
office, who are tainted with pub
lie misconduct or crime, no mat
ter of what character, or whether the culprit
has, or has not escaped the law. To be
eligible in Mr.. CLEvELAND's estimation, is
to have clean moral character. There is
no way of beginning life Alright, goes the
adage, ike being taught right at home.
Next to that way, there is no more import
ant or successful plan Of eultivating purity
of character than its appreciation
by the Chief Magistrate of the
nation. When it becomes generally
known and taught that good moral char
aeter, which includes several subordinate
and CO ordidate qualities, is indispensable to
he seeker after responsible Federal Office,
there will be greater effort to cultivate it
than has existed for the past twenty years.
When the public officers Of a people are
pure and simple the rank and file are very
apt to take their cue of conduct from the
example set in high places.

PAGE MCCARTHY, of the Richmond State,
say, his way of settling the Virginia bonds
coupon trouble is this: Whenever the
coupons are presented for taxes let
the tax collectors receive them,
but don't fail to double the State levy 50
that one-half at least of the taxes may be
paid in cash. This plan not only pays off
the States indebtedness rapidly but keeps
the machinery of government properly
creased so that 1t can run along smoothly.

CHARLESTON, May 1.-THE steamers
bringing the State archives, members Of
the administration ETC., arrived at the
wharf earlier than was expected, consequent
ly the demonstration was only impromptu,
80 far as the citizens were concerned, and
consisted only in tremendous cheering.
Had the arrival and Decentralization &C.
CURED on any week day the demonstration
would have been organized and complete.
Being ore Of the passengers on the
Chesapeake, take pleasure with Others
in thanking Capt Prince and bis efficient
corps of assistants, consisting Of Capt. Kug-
len, Pilot Ad Everett, Clark Sesmon and
others for their kind attention and desire
manifested to accommodate throughout the
trip. =,
The most indignant man have met with
in many day, was Captain Prince, the
eWner Of the Chesapeake and Belle Prince,
growing out Of the fact that the city charged
him three dollars wharfage for landing the
effects Of the State Capital. A friend OF
Princes q Charlestonian, went to the Mayor
With Prince to have the fine RENTED, but
he Mayor was firm and asked Prince if be
ras not paid for bringing the capital here.
"Yes," said Prince, and by - I'm ready
to pay the wharfage, but it's the principle
of the thing object to" Princes friend
presented him with the amount and insisted
that he keep it.
"Is Wheeling All Broke Up:"
MANY of the people here feelipply INQUIRE
of your citizens, q few OF whom are tempo
raIily sojourning at the permanent seat, if
Wheeling is all broke up over the removal
of the Capital did your citizens feel bad
about it being taken away 1t is IN
necessary to say the answer
invariably given was that they
didn't think anything about it, and cared
little whether it remained in Wheeling or
went to Charleston.
A little tilt between Governor Wilson and
ex-Attorney General Watts in the District
Court, now in session, was the subject of
much comment among lawyers during Fri
day. The trouble grew out of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio tax suits. General Watts
insists that under instructions from ex-Gov.
jackson he is entitled to continue in the
case, and wind up the suits, and dispose OF
the injunctions growing out of the suits, but
Governor Wilson claims that the State has
an attorney in the person of Attorney Gen.
eral Caldwell, whose duty it is to represent
the State and look after her interests in all
matters. Opinion is divided as to who is
right as between the Governor and General
Watts.

Political.

Marshal Atkinson's place will become
vacant on Monday. 1t was rumored on the
streets last night that Lum Scion had
knocked down the persimmons, but the re-
port was contrsdicted to day. 1t was the
general opinion about the Cuntom House
yesterday that Sehon held the lucky num-
Der and his appointment was daily ex-
pected.
Sehon and RAIDER were here this week,
together with the Senators, and it is sad
the appointment was determined upon then.
No doubt the announcement of the tortur-te
appoiutee viii be made ere this reaches you.
Senators Camden and Kenna slipped off
on a fishing expedition the other day, but l
opine they are only eludiug their pursuers.
The office seeker is omnipresent, which
makes the life Of Senator a burden and a
bore.
Abiding to the persistent and irrepressi-
bic office seeker reminds me of a side cor
versstion which took place in the hotel lobby
the other day. The gentleman talked
about the scramble for place, and the criug-
ing and tawning at the feet Of the powers,
that be, in language exceedingly inelegant,
but very emphatic and concluded BY saying
before be would lose his independence and
maniness as to 90 about whining for place
and help, sPd buy me a wooden bill and
pick dirt with the chickens.
