Hon. o. +. SINGLETON (the Times
Democrat correspondent relates), went to
the First Assistant Postmaster General
recently to get Mrs. PITTS, Postmistress
at Waynesboro, removed, on the ground
that her husband, the really responsible
party and beneficiary, is an offensive
partisan, as he is well known to be. He
was on the BLAINE and LOGAN electoral
ticket last year; and is a very bitter
Radical. 1t is reported that every Dem
ecratic patron of the Office wanted her
(or him) removed.
II must have additional charges, .
said Assistant Postmaster General Hay
"and something specific"
"Well, sir 1, have given you what
consider reasons enough for a change
and if that is insufficient l am at the end
of my row. l have neither the time MOI
the disposition to turn informer on g
petty personal scale" said Col. SINGLE
TON.
The lesson is that when removals are
desired, specific charges" must be
preferred and proved. 1t would seen
that Col. SKELETONS charge, backed
by the united Democratic wish of the
community, was enough; but you see il
wasn't.

Senator Plumb changed his mind
about starting from Kansas City yester-
day; he will reach here at p. m. to-day
in special car-Wa-keeny Herald.
That's the way Senator Plumb and
most of the [. 5. Senators travel when
they want TO. All Senator has TO do
is TO change his mind, and he can get a
special car A special car from Wa
keeny (nearly 800 miles and return
would cost a private citizen several
hundred dollars. The regular fare one
way would be about IS or 50. Senator
Plumb was going 10 Wakeeny to
deliver an Grafton at the Decoration
OF course he got no pay for his trip, and
does any body believe that he would
have taken a special car with engine
and the necessary OUTFIT, at an expense
of several hundred dollars, when he
could go through on the regular train
and return for only Sl5 or S16? He used
TO be poor; he is wealthy now, and Ter
never get rich who pay out 5000 or $780,
where so or SIS will answer the SAINT
purpose. Consequently the conclusion /:
| that Senator Plumb, rode in a special cal
at the expenses of the railroad company
and that it cost him nothing. Why d.
the railroad companies extend sucl
favors to United States Senators, mem
bers,, of Congress, of Legislatures anC
Judges of the courts ?-Justice.
The answer is plain. 1t is cOurtes!
for which doubtless official favors ar,
expected. The public functionary wh'
deals with railroad corporations and a
the same time carries free pass in hi
pocket subjects himself to criticism.

IN our last issue we alluded to the
fact that the editor of the Marshall
Register was in the city to investigate
for himself the current charges against
Governor LOWRY. When it is remem-
bered that the Register is supporting that
splendid soldier and jurist WINFIELD
SCOTT FEATHERsToNE, the conclusion of
its talented editor will receive great con-
sideration.
He says:
The editor of the Register left Jack
son with feelings of relief and satisfac-
ton, arising from the conviction that
Governor Lowry is entitled to a COM
plete and perfect vindication from
char ges made, we believe, not in malice,
but from groundless suspicious and a
failure to make careful investigation
of the facts. We oppose his nominal
ton, but not because he has been I'M
faithful.
