THE country has been for one month
under Democratic Administration. So
far no Republican rascality has been
exposed, and 20 Republican oficeholdeI
bounced for rascality. designations
have beer called for and removals made
but in 20 instance has unfaithfulness
incompetency or dishonesty been alleged
as the cause of the changes made.
These changes were expected,as mat
ter of course, and that more of them have
not been made is matter Of soreness
and discomfort to the partisans who
have pressed forward to obtain their
reward for services rendered the party.
The heads of departments, it would ap-
pear, have found the business of run
ming the Government so faithfully efi-
cientiy managed, that they do not fear
to trust the employees whom they
found in office, to continue the SER
vice till they have time to revolutionize
affairs.
The cry before the election was to
"turn the raseals out" and there must
be some disappointment to find that
there are no rascals to turn out; that, in
fact, the servants Of the Government
have been so honorable and efficient in
experimenting its affairs that the pro-
cess OF turning them out bas become an
embarrassment 1t is a delicate ques>
tion whether the charges being made
will be an improvement of the service,
from business point of view. This
being the case, the President, having an
eye to the reputation of his Administra-
tion, is moving carefully and slowly.
The books of the Departments also,
and very properly, are being overhauled
by experts to discover whether there
was any grounds for the cry of disheu
esty set up against Republican admins
tration before the election. So far it is
not known that any discovery affecting
the integrity Of those VINO kept the books
for nearly quarter of a century, has
been made. The expert in the employ
of the Treasury Department has devised
a new method of setting forth the
monthly debt statement, but whether it
is better plan, or is employed for an
economic purpose, is not determined. He
has not at least reported any diserepan-
cies in the accounts of the Treasury, and
it is presumed he will find none. The
s'rascals" were rascals only because they
were Republicans That is all.-Cin.

DURING the winter, pneumonia has
prevailed to an alarming extent in all
parts of the country, and many-have
died from its effects. How one person
was snatched from the death-dealing
scourge is told in a little story, which
comes from Abbeville, S. C. A physi-
clan had been summoned to attend aper-
son suffering from the disease He left
a small bottle of veratrum, to be taken
internally, and liniment composed of
hartshorn, turpentine, and chforo-
form, for external application. Next
day the doctor was surprised to find the
patient much better and able to sit up.
On making inquiry he found that the
liniment had been taken internally and
the veratrum applied externally. In
this case accident did what medical sci
ence, perhaps. would have failed to do.

We had very pleasant call. at our

j. ID. Taylor, our Representative in Con-
gress; he came here from Washington
city, to make a brief visit to the Worlds
Exposition, to see it for himself; he ex-
pressed himself highly pleased with the
exposition, saying he had no idea that it
was the large and grand exposition that
he found it really to be; that he had been
led to believe, by disparaging accounts
given in the papers, and by reports, un-
favorable. brought by others who had
visited it, that it was rather a small
badly managed and unimportant affair,
and was very much, and agreeably sur.
prised, to find just the reverse to be the
