9 Civil Service Reform So called.

A Democratic contemporary speaks
nothing but the plain truth in openly
maintaining what the heads Of Depart
ments would be compelled in candor 20
say if they deemed it expedient to speak
that the new civil service rules, whilst
keeping the old drones and incompe.
tents in, have furnished new material
a great deal more inferior than it would
have been il those heads had been en-
abled to make their own selections. The
new heads would be forced to admit
that they are hampered in their effolts
to reform their departments by not be
ing allowed to select the men whom
they know TO be fit for the particular
work they desire to be performed, and
whom they can trust; that the present
system is a lottery, as they never know
what they will get, and hence, finding
that the new employees are not an im
provement on the old stock, they have
refFained from making removals, as the
old officials are at least acquainted with
the routine of business.
Bat there is one thing that might be
lone, and ought TO be done quickly. 1t
is the removal of Republicans who are
foisted on the departmental Offices to the
account of Mississippi who do not live
in the State; who were here only dur
ing the carpet-bag era; who left the
state when it ceased; who have no in
tesest here, and never intend to put
heir feet on its soil again. Look at the
Official Register, and ask how long is
this injustice to be endured

Pleuro -Pneumonia-cattle Disease.

The ravages of this disease in the
Western and Southwestern States, have
become fearful. There i reason to
spprehend that j. is approaching, If it
has not already invaded our own State,
and even vicinity. We have heard of
numerous instances Of fatality which
have awakened our fears that the plague
will soon be in our midst A report
from the Committee on Agriculture to
the House of Representatives at the late
session of Congress, dated March 23d,
stated hat sky odd thousand animals
were at that date known 20 be infected
With the disease. Since that time it has
rapidly Increased. The law which was
passed by the 43th Congress provides for
inspection, disinfection and quarantine
1t was amended at the last session so as
to authorize condemning, apprsising and
paying for the destruction of such ami
mails as might be found absolutely ne
eessary TO eradicate the disease. This
action, however, is subject 10 the appro-
val of the authorities Of the State in
hich the disease is found to exist.
The design of the law is to secure the
co operation OF the Federal with the
State authority; ia other words, to
bring the agencies of the one to the aid
Of the other. To secure cooperation in
extirpstiDg the disease the Commissioner
of Agriculture has forwarded to the
Governors Of the several States and
Territories a series Of rules and regula
tons. To accomplish the purposes Of
the act 500. 600 was authorized to be
expended.

Ringing Resolutions.

At the recens National Farmers Con
vention at Philadelphia, the following,
among other ringing resolutions, were
adopted:
WHEREAS, The agricultural interests
and welfare of this country are the
property of industrial citizens and are
of the first Importance. Agricultural
legislation, or legislation designed to
promote or protect the conditions of
agricnlturists and shield agricultural in.
dustries and prevent the Injurious and
depressing influences resulting from the
inroads of fraud. is and always will be
desirable; therefore, be it
Hes0fred. That TO maintain and retain
what has been secured to the farmers in
he past and to secure what may b.
desirable in the future, this convention.
representing 5000, 600 of farmers in this
country, in the interest of pure legisla-
ton, the prosperity of the country and
the welfare of the farmer, urges for the
best consideration of the farmers and
people at large of the country that no
man should be elected 10 Congress who
by his past record and present reputa
tion Is antagonistic to the prosperity OF
the great industries of the country; and
be il further
Resolved, That we, the farmers of the
United States, in convention assembled,
duly recognize fhe earnest, intelligen.
and effective labor Of its friends in Con-
gress in securing the passage of the cleo
margarine bill, and that il is the sense
of this convention that such friends are
entitled to and deserve the unqualified
support Of the farmers, regardless Of
party ties or affiliations.

The n. ]. & C. r. R.

The people of Jackson and along the
probable line of this road, uaturaIy
feel the livliest interest in its couple
lion, and will act wisely by APPLYING
their best efforts to that object. The
Natchez Democrat makes the follouips
statement:
We are conversant with the fact that
the syndicate have been led 10 exar.jEe
INTO the merits Of the railroad; its nj
,iening and extension, under aSsurarss,
of material and from the counties and
cities along the line.
1t must be borne in mind that the

together with the extiuguishment OF the

nearly $4,000 per mile between Nalehtz
and Jaekson) and the laying Of a sixty
pound steel rail with the necessary
earth and bridge work To- carry the heavy
rolling stock, will swell the cost per
mile Tar beyond the new first mortgage
of Sl2. $50 per mile.
Ii Is quite probable we shall find it to
our interest to regard these facts in
generous manner, when we take into con
,ideration what the accruing benefits

Help for Mr. Randall.

The Democrats of the Sd Louisiana
District have renominated Hon. E. j.
Gay for Congress. The Convention
passed he following resolution:
Resolved, Thai we favor the abro,a ion OF the
Hawaiian treaty, ne reDeai 0fhhe Tar kaolSH
ne jH'e7aa reeetHs tar. and We are posed Il any
egisatior putting INTO e,teet aud operation the re-
eipro ity treaty with Mexico.
In looking into the Congressional
Record, We find that Mr. Gay was one
of the few Southern Democrats who
voted under the leadership of Mr.. Ran
dali, against the consideration of the
Morrison bill to reduce the tariff taxa
zion. He is the largest sugar planter in
Louisiana, and naturally desires to pro
tect" the sugar interest, which means
that he is in favor of making the con
sumers of sugar pay two cents a pound
more for that article of prime necessity
than they would have to do under a
tariff for revenue only. Mr. Gay helps
Mr.. Randall to keep up the tariff tax on
iron and such other products as Mr.
Randali's constituents are interested in,
and on the principle that turn about is
fair play, Nr. Randall helps Mr.. Gay to
keep up the tax on sugar. They are
having jolly time while the rest of the
people are paving the fiddler.

Elk President Davis Impales General
Sherman.


The Sun has long letter written by
Jefferson Davis, from Beauvoir, Miss,
September %, to Col. J. I. Scharf, of
Baltimore, replying to Gen. w. I. Sher
mans so-called report to the War De-
partment, and which the United States
Senate ordered to be printed as "Ex.
Doc. No, Sc, Fortieth Congress, second
session"
Mr. Davis SAYS: A continuing sense
of The great injustice done to me aud
the people represented by the Senate
in making the malicious assault of Gen
Sherman pubic document, and giving
to his Islander the importance which
necessarily attaches to an executive
communication to the Senate, has
recently caused the request for reply
by me to be pressed with very great ear
Hestness. For this reason | have decided
to furnish my reply to you for publica
ton.
Mr.. Davis then proceeds at great
length to deny the charles brought
against him by Gen. Sherman, in which
he declares he did all in his power 10
prevent the war, and did not seek the
post of Chief Executive.
He says: For all the acts of my pub
lie life as President of the Confederate
States | am responsible at the bar of
history and must accept her verdict,
which | shall do without the lesst
prehension that it will be swayed from
truth by the malicious faiseh pods of Gen
Sherman, even when stamped as an Elk.
Doe
The chief statement that Mr.. Davis
objects to is that made by Gen. Sherman,
in 1884, before Blair Post, q A r that
he (Sherman) had a letter in his (Da-
vis's) writing to the effect that he Davis
would turn Lees army against any State
that might attempt to secede from the
Southern Confederacy.
Mr.. Davis concludes his letter as fol
lows:
II have in this vindieation, not of
myself only, but also of the people who
honored me witt, the highest official
position in their gift, been compelled to
group together instances of repea ted
ialsehoods deliberately spoken and writ
ten by Gen. Sherman: The Blair Post
SANDER of myself, the defamation of the
character OF Gen. Albert Sydney John
ston, the disparagement of the military
fame of Gen. GRAFT, and the shameful
and corrupt charge against Gen. Hamp-
ton.
81 have prepared this examination
and exposure only because the Senate OF
the United States has given to Sher.
mans slender an Endorsement which |
gives it whatever claims il NAV have To !
attention aud of power to nislead in the |
future.

ment as false, having proved its author

Turn the Raseals Out"

Those vigilant citizens who seem dis
posed to begrudge Postmaster. General
Villas his few weeks vacation among
the green bass resorts of the Wisconsin
lakes are respectfully invited to consider
the proposition that he has perhaps
earned his holiday. We firmly submit
that the work done by the Post Office
Department in the sixteen mouths dur
ing which it has been under Mr.. Villas
charge-for he did not complete his or
ganization and enter upon detail much
before the 24th of April, last year-we
submit, we say, that the work thus per-
formed has been simply Herculean.
In these sixteen months there have
been, without counting anniversaries or
the usual half holidays, exactly 4I6
working days, or 1928 working hours,
putting the official day at eight hours.
In these 1928 hours, then, Mr.. Villas
has appointed nearly 80 900 postmasters,
or more than eight postmasters every
hour; or, to be still more specific, one
postmaster every seven minutes, with
the odd four minutes for lunch.
This would seem to be rather for
midable achievement, even if he had
done nothing save postmaster making;
but when we consider that, in addition,
the Postmaster General has had to ex-
anime and appoint hundreds of railway
postal clerks, inspectors and other sub
ordinates, besides looking into mail con-
tracts and hearing complaints, and
breasting the avalanche of hungry Con-
gressmen, the conclusion is inevitable
that he has earned his holiday and
more. 1t is clear that there have been
periods since April, 1885, when the ma
jestic process of seventy postmasters
day had to be abandoned for a more
rapid gait, in emergencies even degeuer-
ating into a hard gallop; for Mr.. Villas
could not devote himself exclusively TO
postmasters, and must often have fallen
in arrears. And, upon the whole, we
make bold to repeat that the Postmas-
ter-General was entitled to few weeks
of rest.
People who hold the contrary either
do not know or cannot weigh the facts.

Let us Have a Constitutional Con-
vention.

If there is one thing more than
another, which the proceedings Of the
Legislature at its last session indicated,
it was that the people have determined
that a Convention shall be called TO
remodel the organic law of the State
The present Constitution was framed by
alien enemies nearly twenty years ago,
under circumstances which are As differ
ent from existing conditions as night
from day. Ii was not the work Of the
people of the State; though they have
made the best of il since they have
obtained control of their own affairs
All admit that it ought to be change1
in essential particulars. All must admit
that the process Of changing it in the
manner prescribed by itself, is exceed
ingly slow and uncertain. 1t can accom-
plish but patchwork at most. Heroic
treatment and thorough oyerbauliDg are
needed The friends OF a Convention
may not agree among themselves IS to
what ought 10 be done. This is natural.
Hardly any two minds ever apprehend
a question, or shape policy precisely
alike. II is the part Of wisdom Tor men
engaged Ia 4 common cause, while dis
agreeing about minor matters, to act in
concert end stand together TOR the
achievement Of the main object. The
chief ends 10 be accomplished by a
Convention duly accredited by the soy
ereign trib nal to deal with the organic
law Of the State, can-be discussed before
the people, and when the members are
assembled the differences can be readily
settled by the majority. Ia the discus
sion Of these questions, We expect to
bear our part. Oar purpose nov is to
call attention to the main subject, and
to urge the friends Of a Convention to
put themselves in readiness. Soon it
will be time TO consider the matter Of
nominating candidates for the Lcgisla-
ture, and the subject Of a Constitutional
Convention should be brought to the
front in the same connection.
