Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is, 1886.
ED. FREE PRESS There have been
many rumors during the week Of i'm
pending cabinet changes. These I'll.
mors are periodic, and usually I'm
founded. The treasury and depart,
ment Of justice are the offices partic-
ularly referred to, and in the case OF
the latter, gossip goes so far as to
designate the attorney generals sue
cessor.
There has been more quiet pressure
brought to bear upon the admins
ton to effect Mr.. Garland's removal
than the public is aware of. But the
president keeps his own counsel, and
he is quoted as having intimated to
an oficious friend, after patiently lis
tening to his suggestion on this sub
ject, that when he desired advice
touching his own business, he would
ask for it. Besides, Mr.. Garland is a
proud man, and would not be willing
to remain in his present position a
day, were he not assured of the pres
idents fullest confidence.
As for the secretary of the treas
urv, should he conclude to retire, it
could scarcely be from dissatisfaction
with his position or with the presi-
dent, or for any dissatisfaction on the
part of the president with him, as
they have worked in perfect accord
together for a longer period than
this presidential term. Mr.. Manning
has often said. however. that he only
entered the cabinet to assist the pres
idcnt in inaugurating certain reforms.
This being done. he had no further
object in remaining. He could not
desire 10 make money while holding
50 important a place aS that Of the
secretary. and De has often spoken Of
a settled purpose to retire from pub
Ic life.

Why the South Tends to Prohibition.

Various reasons have been given
for tho remarkable strength of the
prohibition movement in the South
religious, sentimental, economic.
Curiously enough, late Savannah
News gives the chief reason as a
purely economic one. That journal
says that white employers have found
10 their cost that the unrestrained
sale of liquors demoralizes their col
ored laborers, and that for this rea-
sou they have been driven by neces-
sity, some of them it may be against
their individual convictions, to favor
prohibition. The News adds, that
planters are convinced that SO long
as there is low dramshop ut every
crossroads and ut the corner of ey-
cry plantation, where the negroes
not only spend their wages in drink
ing and gambling, but trade off cot
ton stolen from their employers, the
laborers themselves are ruined, NOR
ally and physically, while the employ
ers are robbed of large percentage
of the products of their plantations.
Bearing in mind that similar condi'
tons exist on the turpentine farms,
IN the lumber districts and in the
cities, and, apart from the religious
and moral phase and strength OF the
prohibition movement it will be
found strongly intrenched in the ma
terial interests of the Southern states.
In fact, the Savannah Journal says the
whites have found that, while tho best
interests of the Sauth demand the
improvement of the negroes, but lit
tie can be done for them so long as
whisky is free. So for tho sake OF
self-interest they support prohibition.
If the theory of the News be but
halfway true, there is thus one of the
strongest possible agencies in society
working for temperance in the South
ern states.
The above, which we find in an ex-
change, presents new, and we have
no doubt true view Of the subject,
and one which the most obtuse, or he
who has no higher idoa than dollars
and cents, can appreciate. Those
who listened to the lecture of Mrs.
Saxon at this place not long since
will remember what she said on q
closely kindred subject. She Gp-
pealed to all who remembered the
old slave times, in proof of the fact
that there was severe penalty, then,
for selling the negroes Intoxicating
liquors, because the use of them un-
fitted them for service and labor, and
she stated that the comparative worth
lessness of so many of that people at
this day, is no doubt owing to their
habits of public drinking, in imita-
ton Of the whites. Their women as
we'll as men VIGOROUSLY indulge now
in these practices, and just as notori-
ously the practice renders them
worthless and unreliable.
What have the advocates of public
drinking to say to these unquestion-
able and weighty facts?

The Blair Educational bill, which
proposes to distribute S6G,OOO,OOO to
the different states in aid of popular
ceucation, in proportion to their illit-
eracy, is now being discussed in con
gress. The share of Texas under
this bill, if it should become n law, is
estimated at -, l2O.9137S. We are
surprised and gratifed to find the
Austin Statesman and the San Antonio

the bill The latter sharply says:
Senators Coke and Maxey oppose
