TIE ANDERSON POST OFFICE.

The Washington correspondent of tn,
hecs ard Courier, writing under date 0
May 22nd, says,
| "The commission of Mrs. Grace G
Cochran, postmaster ct Anderson Cour
House, s. O., expired yesterday. Post
master. General Villas has not yet deter
mined what action he will take in tht
matter owing TO a slight complication
which is said to have arisen. Mrs
Cochran, the incumbent has on file ths
endorsements of number of busines.
people Of Anderson, and her record al
the department is said to be first.class
On the other hand Representative Aiken
in whose district the Office is located, has
named Mr.. Todd for appointment. All
though the Postmaster. General is non.
committal on the subject, postofice off.
cials predict the selection of Mr. Todd
probably before this reaches the readers
of the Ne,os and Courier"
Commenting on this article, the
GreenuiNc Mews says:
that Congressman d. Wyatt Aiken is
pushing scheme to remove Mrs. Coch-
ran from the Anderson postofIice and
have Mr.. Todd, of the Anderson Journal,
put in her place. II there is q man in
this State who deserve favor from the
Democratic party it is Mrs. Cochran's g
husband. He defied his own party when
there was danger in it, came to our aid
no other man could do. The appoint.
ment of Editor Todd will not do either
Congressman Aiken or Editor Todd any
In
tics to suit this State. We believe If our
friend of the journal accepts the place
he will live to agree with US. We do
not wish to be understood as questioning
bis integrity, but no editor can maintain
the Independence necessary for the prop.
or conduct OF his business while he owes
public men for favoss or has any cause To
fear them. And no place or salary can
repay Journalist for the loss of his
freedom of mind, tongue and pen. We
would rather be hungry with the privi.
llege Of "cussing" Or commanding as we
like than to be fat and hampered."
Our contemporary, the Metvs, fell into
a mistake in these remarks, which it hast.
ened to correct in the following manner
on the next day:
We have Wronged, abused, slandered,
villifed and otherwise injured and gener-
ally maltreated our neighbor and good
friend Todd Of the Anderson Journal.
We are informed that he is not the man
who is to get the Anderson postofice If
Congressman Aiken's wishes are consult
ed. 1t is another and more appropriate,
though We dare say less Handsome and
gifted Todd who Is the fortunate man.
If Editor Todd had been the prospective

Beware Of Mercury and Potash.

Mercury is more destructive to human
health and life than war, pestilence and
famine combined. So said distinguished
writer many years ago, and 1t is as true
to-day as then. The poor victim of
Blood Disease is drugged with Mercury
to cure the malady, and then dosed with
Iodides to cure him of the Mercu rial
Poisoning; but instead of any relief the
first breaks down his general health and
makes him cripple, and the other ruins
his digestive organs. Mercury and Pot
ash are dangerous even when admins.
tered to directions aud under the eye OF
good physicisu, and when put up in
nostrums, often by incompetent persons,
are apt to produce evil consequences. Be
careful OF these poisonous mixtures or
you may regret 1t. Swift's Specific Is en-
tirely vegetable preparation, and should
not be confounded with the various imi-
tations, non secret humbugs, "Succus Al
terans," etc., all of which either contain
Mercury and Potash, or are composed of
old remedies which have long since been
discarded as OF no value Ia the treatment
of Blood Diseases, and none Of them con-
tain single article which enters into the
composition Of Swift's Specific. There is
only one swift's Specific (s 8. s. and
thero Is nothing in the world like it. Be
sure to get the genuine.

The great difficulty in accomplishing
any substantial Civil Service Reform liea
in the fact that all appointments to office
are controlled practically by the Senators
and Representatives. This custom, in
our opinion, should be utterly wiped out,
for it does not rest on principles con.
duciye to the public welfare. Simply
because a man is member of Congress
should give him very little, if any, more
influence in making the appointments to
Office than any other, equally well in.
formed and honorable man in his Dis.
tfict shCuld possess. The fact that q
man is q Representative should not make
him practically the owner Of the Offices
in his District. His t, mptation is, OF
course, to reward his friends and to pun
ish his enemies, and it is more than can
be expected of human nature entirely to
ignore this principle of human action.
The Presidea: iu National, and the
Governor in State appointments, should
not rely implicitly upon tbs recommen.
dations Of Representatives in Congress-
or the Legislature, bat should In every
case look carefully into all Of the papers
and judge Independently of the appro.
priateness Of the appointments to be
made. This would elevate the public
service, and give to the people officers
who are not personal partisans. We
should like to see the methods of appoint
ment to Office changed entirely, and every
mans recommendation of another for
Office weighed according to his position,
standing and character In his communi.
ty. This would break up the political
bosses, and give che people genuine
Civil Service Reform.

Tie Charleston Collcctorslllp.

WAsuINGroN, May 23.-Messrs. f..
w. Wagner, J. w. lLinson and Edward
Willis, of Charleston, called on the
President this morning by special ap-
pointment, tho President making an ex.
ceplion in this instance to his regular
rule Of declining to receive callers on
Saturday. Congressman Dibble was also
present, and made the presentations to
the President. Arter full and free dis.
cussion of the collectorship question
Capt. Wagener stated that the committee
brought with them Reimbursement of
Mr.. Mowry by prominent business men
of Charleston as testimonial of their
confidence in his integrity, fitness and
ability to fill acceptably the office of col
lector, because certain unfounded charges
had been preferred against him. Capt.
Wagner expressed q hope that the Pres
ident would give full consideration to the
papers on file in Mr.. Mowry's behalf, as
it had been stated that Mowry had no
commercial backing. The petition which
the committee brought with them, he
said, MAS purely mercantile one, which
had been prepared and signed in conse-
quence of communication which re.
Gently appeared in the Ne,rs and Courier
antagonistic to Mr.. Mowry, claiming
that he was supported by politicians
alone, and at the request of the signers
of the petition a committee was detailed
to present the document to the President
and ask him to consider 1t. Col. Hin
son and Major Willis endorsed the views
expressed by Capt. Wagner, and they
also urged the appointment of Dir.
Mowry from business standpoint.
The President lie said to have evinced
much interest in the remarks made by
the committee and promised to give the
subject careful attention. His genial
and cordial manner during the interview
WAS highly appreciated by the commit
tee, and on parting he remarked good
naturedly: "Well, gentlemen, l am
very glad to have met you this morning
and see that this is another case where
/ will have to be the referee"

Mr.. G. H. Wells, of Greenville, in q

Mr.. G. H. Wells, of Greenville, in G
recent article to the Neaes and Courier
criticises the action of the directors Of
the Greenville & Laurens Railroad, who
are unwilling to sell their road to the
Georgia Central system, and threatens
that If they further delay action the
Georgia Central will extend the Savan.
nhh Valley from Anderson to Greenville.
he also says that the Savannah Valley
will be completed to Anderson by this
Fall. Mr.. Wells is learning rapidly.
A few weeks ego he did not appear to
know that there was even railroad pro.
jected to Anderson, much less one SO
near completed. In fact, Mr.. Wells is
learning too fast, for there is no proba.
bility that the Savannah Valley Road
will be built to Anderson before the Fall
of 1886, and when it reaches Anderson
there is not Che remotest prospect that it
will be carried from Anderson to Green.
