When II is noted that over $4,000 Demo
cratic postmasters have been appointed by
the administration during the first fiscal
year OF its existence, and that {, 1866 of these
appointments were made to ill vacancies
caused by removal Of Republican incumb-
tnts, 1t will be seen, says the Charleston
N0rS and Courier, how little foundation
there has been for the complaint that
changes in this department have not been
made fast enough, The Nelrs and Courier
adds:
Tie fact is that removals have been made in
every instance where sufficient cause was
shown and still more gratifying fact is that
the changes have been effected with marked
luoht to the public service, as is shown by
tic report Of the Postmaster General.
"Sunlcient cause was shown when
Democrat called for a place held by Re.
publican. As to "marked benefit OF the
public service as shown by the report" did
anybody expect so shrewd q man as the
Postmaster General would make a report
that would not ylndlcate himself

colored vote into one district, and, not con.
tented with that, have gone into that district
and stolen the one representative. They DM

ing out many boxes and hundreds Of votes for
Irregularities. But the fact will stand out bald
and unquestiOned that smalls has been de-
ieated by the Official negligence OF Democratic
oihcials, appointed by Democratic authority.
The inference that the negligence was pre-
arranged plot 10 deprive the majority Of Its
weight will be too plain and clear for resist
ance. The state will be put before the country
as being party TO plain. deliberate, and wan.
ton fraud.
There you are, gen tlemen Of the Demo-
cratic and Mugwump press, as your good
brother Of the Greenvlle Nc,Cs has painted
you. How do you like your poser Is the
facial expression satisfactory But the
Nc,rs goes on, thus:
We do not believe the Democratic party OF
The country will accept the responsibility for
this election, and we know 1t ought not to do
II. The facts and figures will be brought out
and put before the world, and II the Demo.
Gratis in Congress give Col. Elliott the seat
they will be held before the world as aiding
and abetting crime and receiving its results
The harm is not only in the future. This eloc.
tion destroys the work Of years. We have
claimed persisteDtly that all doubtful methods
we have used In elections were justlnablc, as
being necessary for selfpreservation, to defend
our families and property from barbarsm and
corruption. That claim Is Just and trne, aud
on II we have won toleration and sympathy
Now our onemies-and we have plenty Of them
will point to this election as evidence that we
have been lying, and will cite Its wantonnoss
TO prove that VIC have been inspired only by
greed Of power and the determination to de-
prive the negro Of political rights.
There is deal OF meat In that paragraph
which we have not time now TO mastcate.
1t will keep, and there will be fitting oc-
casions for Its use. The Ncps closes It's
article with those words
The effect on the people of the st lte must be
bad. It is useless to preach honesty and in
tCgrity while the leading and most trusted men
Of the state publicly use and sanction such
methods as have been used to count out Smalls.
Its an III bird that fouls It's own nest" Our
nest has been fouled without reason or excuse.
We wish TO avoid on share of the fouling as
far as POSSIBLE by proclalming as publicly as
we can that we condemn the proceedings in
the black district, and hold no sympathy with
them or those connected with them. The use
Of fragrant uniairness TO defeat the choice of
the colored Republicans in the one congress
sional district allotted to them is contrary to
the honorable traditions and principles of our
people and party, miserable political blunder
and moral wrong
Our chief purpose in this connection to-
day is to file these above extracts for refer
ence. This case is going to fill long chap
ter in our political history.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY WoRTHfNGToS:
Your attention is invited to the report OF
the District commissioners In the case OF
Walker against Arnold. In that case the
commissioners have stated that both Kelly
and Arnold committed perjury. Do your
duty in this case, Mr.. District Attorney.
The people expect 1t, for they are de-
termlned to have the bottom facts. Con-
gress will not appropriate any money to
maintain the police force OF the District of
Columbia until this police scandal is
thoroughly ventilated.

Earning and Saving Money.

TTIUAEUH IUUbUE1l
1t isn't the man who makes the most
money who saves the most, as was shown
in the case Of the Boston salesman who
once received salary of $4,000 per year
and was recently sent to the poorhouse.
Two brothers worked In the same store.
One was the head porter, with yearly sal
ary OF 81 600, and the other was salesman
who received $4,000 per annum. The last
mentioned had only himself and wife to
support, yet he was always poor, owing to
expensive habits, while the first, with
family OF eight or nine children, grew grad
ually rich, and lent his extravagant brother
$1,000, which he found hard to get back.
This is n practical illustration of the old
fable Of the hare and the tortoise.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: The delicate
screen erected by the District commissioners
TO shield Themselves, as shown by the findings
aud sentences In the recent police scandal
trial, are about the most flimsy ever presented
TO an intelligent public. In Arnold's case they
prove the lieutenant guilty of perjury simply
because he only had three witnesses who swore
TO hearing Mai. Walker make the suggestion
In relation to making note OF the habits Of
congressman. The commissioners say "the
HifRfWieIeryes %n6v tdtGncf ihe9RFfntnt ihe9RFfn WmseF
make the suggestion. Wasn't It q Dutch Judge
IN Arkansas who ooncemade similar ruling In
case Of anon and discharged the prisoner?
Lieut., Kelly Is suspended for three months
without pay for telling lie on paper and then
COME sslng IL on the stand, while the several
lieuiennnts who signed that same lie on paper
and then went on the stand and swore to ID 20
scot Tree. In their findings the commissioners
tacitly acknowledge that the written statn.
ment signed by all the lleutenants was n ie
stu they fly to the refuge OF the old saying that
q lie wen sworn TO is better than the truth
the old Dutch judge OF Arkansas comes up
again smiling in that finding.
MAJ. walkers prediction that some people
would probably eat crow to-day instead OF
turkey has probably been verified In unexpected
quarters; but to al least Que impartial observer
unacquAnted with all of the interested parties,
IT. seems that the commissioners have not fairly
cleared their skirts, and that closer inqniry
INTO their methods may create a demand for
more crow. JusTITTA

SINCE the Republican party in South Car
olina was suppressed by the Mississippi
plan with variations the total vote of the
state has fallen from 10000 to $1,000. The
Charleston Ncirs and Courier admits that
there is throughout the state ian indlsPosi-
ti0n to take the trouble to vote at elections,
which is both significant and shocking"
The reduction In the total vote Is shown
by the following statement Of the vote for
governor at the several elections from 1870
