POLITICAL NOTES.

The democratic senators have completed
their arrangements of committees. Senators
Vest, Coke and Harris are to succeed Gar
land, Bayard and Lamar on the judiciary
committee. Senator Vance will go on the
finance committee, in place of Bayard. Sem
ator Ransom will succeed Bayard as chair
man of the committee on private land claims
and Senator Gorham will take Ransoms old
place as chairman of the committee on the
Potomac river front. Senator Kenna will go
on the commerce committee.
The National Republican contains an inter-
view with Pos,master-G General Villas, in which
that gentleman is quoted as having said:
"The programme of the whole cabinet is to
select officials for their worth and value to
the government" and as having said further
that the policy of the administration is to
bear out the civil service rules to the fullest
extent in the management of the various de-
partments 81 shall enforce the rules here"
said Villas 1t is understood that it is the in
tention of the president to reduce the clerical
force at the white house and to do away with
the system Of keeping an elaborate record of
all business brought there. In accordance
with this proposed curtailment of the force,
four employees at the executive mansion were
notified that their services would no longer
be required. These are Henry G. Morton of
Ohio, j. S. .Bolivay of Ohio, and w. II. Duke,
clerks at s., $780, 81. 800 and $1,4OO per annum,
respectively, and O. L. Judd, telegraph oper-
ator, who receives 81, 400 year.

NOT ACCORDING TO RoYLE.

mr.. adams. President of the Union Pacific,
Writes to Senator Hoar.
A letter from Charles Francis Adams, presi-
dent of the Union Pacific railroad, is devoted
TO discussion of the policy of congress to-
ward the Pacific roads, and regards that pur-
sued last year as an economically faulty one.
Mr.. Adams thinks 1t is not to the interests of
the government to force the Union Pacific to
take annually these large sums out OF its cap
ital aud stack them up In the overlooking ma
tional treasury while six states and four terri
tories are demanding additional railroad iacil-
tiles. which would add to the traiic and IL
come of the company. This policy, he sug-
eests. takes from the company and commit
nity lust so much fructifying capital that IS
greatly needed to promote The interests OF
both. In view of the previous action OF con
press he regards his views as dissented IRON,
and reviews the course the bill has taken since
its introduction. He thinks the present status
the best of the plans to carry out the ppaiehs
wishes OF congress and accepts the senate lu-
dietary bill, and says the company viii Loyalty
live up to it 10 the best Of its lty. In
conclusion, he refers to the stat -ments made
in the senate 81 in various newspapers mat
Jav Gould was~the controlling power and he
(Adams) but fgure-head, up Tor the pur-
nose of carving out Could schemes. Sucn,
he saws. is not the case. He was not Goulo's
choice for president. Gould is consulted as
one of the directors only, as any other men,
Der of the board ia consulted He wishes to
be held solely responsible for the management
of the road.

CAPITAL BRIEFS.

First Assistant Postmaster General Crosby
has resigned and his resignation has been
accepted.
President Clevelands private mail is very
large Many of the letters, it is supposed. re-
late to appointments to office. Since the
Inauguration the presidents private secre-
tary and the entire clerical force has been
busily engaged from in the morning to mid
night, owing to the rush of business.
The president again held open house on the
9th and received large number of visitors,
including congressional delegations from sew
eral states. In order to devote 4his attention
to official matters requiring action by the
present special session of the senate it is
probable that the president will have to deny
himself to visitors for few days.
The republican senators held caucus to
further discuss the formation of committees.
The subject was talked over at length, but
nothing was decided upon. incidentally the
treaties were mentioned and the question was
asked whether they had better be considered
ut the present session. No one advocated
that course and no one opposed it, and the
subject was finally left to the caucus commit
tee to de- ermine.

Seven county officers of Habersham county,
Georgia, have been indicted on the confession
of Ben Martin that he with their cognizance
and aid robbed the county cafe. For several
years the county has been unable to meet its
liabilities, Notwithstanding the fact that there
should have been plenty of money in the
treasury. Charges of criminal nature were
freely made against the county officers, and
recently the county safe has been twice
robbed in an effort to remove evidences of
guilt. The last attempt was so daring that the
citizens took hold of the matter vigorously,
and the result was the arrest of Martin.

Labor Here and There.

The review of the consular reports
for 1884, made by tho secretary OF
state to congress, contains much valu-
able information, showing the differ
enoe between the condition of labor
here and abroad. Dundee, Scotland,
furnishes fair illustration. In that
city there are from $4,000 to 10000
women and girls employed in the mills,
being linen and jute factories. The
time of work is fifty-six hours per
week. The average wages are per
week from S1.45 for the lowest class
of female operatives to S4.06 for
double loom weavers, piece work. OF
the 14O, 900 inhabitants of Dundee 49,
600 live in one, two and three room
