A Perplexing Question.

A late Washington letter contains
the following:
"Now that the time of the elections
in the various states is close at hand
the question that most perplexes the
minds of the clerks in the Govern
ment Departments is as to how to
cast their votes without giving Of
fence. The Republican clerks are es-
pecially agitated, and while their
friends are urging the necessity of
their going home to vote, they fear
that by so doing they would be like
ly to lose their places. Many of the
clerks who have not taken their va
cations are now applying for their
leave, and to conceal the fact that
they have gone to their homes, clerks
have in many instances exchanged
railroad tickets with clerks from Other
states, and have shown these tickets
as evidence of their going simply up,
on vacation, after which the tickets
are returned to their rightful owners

Hon. John R. Meals Work in Congress

A Meigs county correspondent
writes the Cleveland Banner-News as
follows:
81 ask space in your columns to
call attention of the people to the eff
ficient, honest and successful services
of Hon. John r. Neal, our Represen-
tative to the 10th Congress. Heis adj
mitted by all to be a good working
Congressman, and by his untiring en-
ergy and faithfulness to the interests
which he represents has accomplished
by legislation and secured appropria-
tons for his district, far more than any
predecessor in Office. Under his guild
ance the bill appropriating 100000
for a public building at Chattanooga
has passed both Houses and is now
available. In addition to this Col.
Neal introduced, and had passed by
the House, bill appropriating an adj
ditional sum of $l50,OOOfor SAID build
ing, making total sum of $25O,00C
for thepublic building in Chattanooga.
Col. Neal informs me that he is assur.
ed by Senators that they will support
this last bill at the December short
term of this Congress when it comes
up in the Senate.
cit seems clear to a candid minC
that our Representative has done his
whole duty, and obtained the appro
priations which were needed by
the largest city in his district. Col
Neal was the leading figure in secur
ing for Muscle Shoals 1862, 800, which
amount is now available, and fol-
points above Chattanooga 81 800"

REPUBLICAN RAsCALITY.
A Fowl Scheme to Reduce the Demo
cratic Vote of the Third
District.

CHATTANOOGA, Oct. II, 'S6.
TO the Democrats Of the Third Con-
greSSionaI District:
1t has come to the knowledge of
our committee that one of theschemes
of the Republican Executive Com
mittee is an organized attempt to de-
ter, detain, divert, decoy and prevent
Democrats from attending the polls
or voting at the ensuing election on
Tuesday November I'd. Any excuse
or pretext is to be resorted to which
will accomplish their object. Already
a paymaster in each county has been
appointed and supplied with funds,
and committees in each civil district
selected to carry out this underground
arrangement. va
They calculate to reduce our vote
in this way at least one hundred in
each county in the district, and at a
cost of s., 100000 which sheen raised
for the purpose. Every republican
employer of labor in the district has
been advised of thescheme and under
the guise of urgent business or neces-
sary work are to hold our voters from
the polls, and expense of doing so is
to be returned to him. We warn
you to beware of any arrangement OF
engagement with republicans on OF
for the day of election.
Democracy expects every man to dc
his duty, and anyone with so little
loyalty to his party, or who is with
out enough patriotism to contribute
the necessary time required to go and
vote is unworthy the name of a dem
ocrat or the citizenship of a free coun
try. Do not accept the fair promise:
of the republican or his Doodle
done up in plausible stories, but bt
certain that sunshine nor storm, bus
mess nor pleasure prevents your pre-
senting yourselves promptly at YOU
voting places and depositing the
straight democratic ticket from enc
to end, and the victoryis yours.
Respectfully,

Chairman.

Washington Letter.

InlS is Jne DuSy season III Une ue-
partments at Washington. The
heads of divisions, the bureauX and
the Cabinet officers are preparing
their annual reports. The President
is writing his message. The Govern
mental history of the year must be
epitomized, the balance sheet must
be struck off and the chief executive
must suggest by way ofrecommenda-
ton, the measures he will sanction,
provided they receive the approval
of legislation. All the members of
the Cabinet, except the Secretary of
State, have returned. Mr.. Bayard
was shrewd enough to postpone his
vacation until autumn and is now
resting away from the city during the
season which, in Washington, is most
trying to the corpus humans:
Extracts from the reports ofvarious
Government officials prove by ire
futable figures that the present adj
ministration has saved the Govern
ment millions of dollars. That the
public offices are better kept and
that public work is better done is not
so susceptible of mathematical demon
stration; but it is fact patent to
every one acquainted with the public
service. During the past two weeks
over five hundred useless employees
have been dischared from the Govern
ment Printing Office alone. Not
withstanding this great decrease in
the force, the work of the Office has
not been at all impeded. The public
land commissioner, General Sparks,
says in his annual report, "The de.
velopment of the past year under the
agencies of the new administration
have justified every word said my re-
port for last year in regard to wide
spread persistent land robbery" The
report states the total area over which
fences have been or are to be removed
either with or without resort to the
courts is 2,714,926 acres, mostly ir
Colorado. The recommendation fol
an additional force of not less thar
one hundred special agents is renew
ed, as is also that in regard to ade
quate means for prot Getting the tim
Der on the public lands. About 175
600 acres of land have been restored
for public settlement; 1, 4S5 cases, in
volving 225,0O0 acres, have been hell
for cancellation.
