CIeveIand's Rule of Three.

President Cleveland has permitted
the public to understand that III tn,
making of appointments he hiss
established three rules from which he
will not deyiate. The! are as follows
and they will not bring comfort, We
fear, to the hungry and thirsty horde
of Democratic otl~ice-seekers:
First-IIe will not remove Repub.
licsns before the end Of their terms
Second-lIc will moi, exceptin rare
cascs, appoint men who held otlices
under his first administration.
Third-IIe will moi especially favor
Democratic editors in making public
appointments.
Secretary Carlisle has further in
creased the distress of the army OF
office seekers in Washington by an
%nouncing that he will permit the
publication of the names of all ap-
.plicants, with their Endorsements; and
Postmaster General BisscIl adds fncl
to the flames by saying that offensive
pa%rtisanshlp' 10 longer constitutes a
convenient excuse for supplau;ing
Republican ~postmastcrs with Demo-
Gratis.
We shall SEQ what tie shall see.

At the recent meeting of the Histori-
cal Committee of the United Con-
federate Veterans at New Orleans it
was determined to revive the attempt
to secure a sectional history of the
United States fer the benefit OF the
South. 1t is claimed that present
works of this character are written by
Northern authors with a Northern
bias, and, particularly, that they mis-
represent motives and events at the
South which led up to the Rebellion.
1t was wrong, the friends of this
movement say, that the youth of the
South should thus be prejudiced
against their own section. "What is
wanted" frankly declares the New
Orleans TiimeS-DsUocrat, sis not so
much a history that will be exact be-
yond all criticism, as one that will be
filled with the true Southern spirit,
one that will be interesting, one that
will be read. Such a history may con-
tain some defects or inperfections-
aud it is utopiau to hope otherwise
but it will be read, admired, under
stood and believed; aud it will tend to
check, just what it is proposed TO
check, the false stories which are be.
ing sent ont In SO many Northern
books"
To call q work based upon such
lines . "history- would be the veriesi
nonsense. 1t is evident that what
some of the Southern people want i.
not a faithful chronicle, but n spurious
narrative that will justify and palliate
the Southern support of slavery and
treason 10 the Union. No onc in the
United States to-day is disposed to
question the sincerity and courage OF
the Southern masses before and dur
ing the war. any more than English
men to-day will question the honesty
and valor OF Cavaliers or Roandheads.
Such an admission, however, does
imply that undeniable facts which
chance to be unpslstable should be
distorted or suppressed.
France is compelled TO read of the
horrors of the French Revolution and
the shame of Sedan. Crest Britain is
compelled to read of the follies aad
crimes of the Georges and the e II
turtles of misrulc in Ireland. New
England is compelled to read of
P%uritsnical prosecutions of witches
aud Quakers. Of Shays' rebellion and
the Hartford convention. These
divisions of the human race have the
same right TO demand aperyersion Of
historical facts to ease wounded pride
as has the South. The sensitiveness
of the South on this subject il a con-
fession of past guilt. What The youth
of that section need is to be taught
the truth.

the bridge, but as there is a contract
between the city and county on such
matters of joint expenses, by which
the county is to pay one-third and
the city two-thirds, the motion was
defeated and resolution passed to
the effect that the county issue its
bonds for $23, 900, bearing interest at
the rate of not exceeding six per
cent, payable in thirty years, with
the privilege of redeeming after ten
years. To meet this obligation tax
of five cents on each 500 valuation
of property was ordered. 'Squires
Mcdonald, Rodman and County At
torney Johnson were appointed a
committee to look after the engrav-
ing of the bonds.
The bridge committee also reported
that they had secured the services of
a competent engineer in Mr.. j. p.
Nelson, of Lexington, to supervise
and attend to the construction of the
bridge, and that his salary had been
fixed at 5000 month, one-third of
which the county is required to pay.
The report was adopted by a vote of
9,to 3.
Squire Mcdonald then introduced
resolution recitiug the reasons why
the new bridge was necessary under
the requirements of the order of the
Secretary of War, and directing the
appointment by the joint bridge COM
mittee of two persons to appraise the
present structure before it is torn
down, so that the city and council
may be able to certify the actual loss
entailed by reason of said Secretary
Of Wars order. The resolution was
adopted.

COURT OF CLAIMS.
Important Meeting Monday on
the New Bridge and County
Bonds.

The County Court of Claims held
an interesting meeting Monday. Be-
sides all the magistrates of the
county, the members of the city
council and large number of other
citizens were ptesent at the delibera-
tions. 1t had been reported on the
streets that number of the magis-
trates were opposed to letting the
contract for the St. Clair street
bridge and the fear that such an i'm
portant measure in the direction of
the city's progress might, after all, be
defeated aroused the citizens to the
necessity of attending the meeting
and using their influence with the
magistrates. County Judge Williams
was in the chair. Squire Mcdonald
submitted the report of the bridge
committee, consisting of himself,
County Attorney, Johnson and
'Squires Rodman, Tinsley and Lyon,
and explained the reasons why the
joint committee agreed to accept the
bid of the King Bridge Company, of
Cleveland, Ohio, for $62,500.
A discussion arose as to the effect
of the order of the Secretary of War
to compel the city and county to build
the bridge, and also as to the author
ity of the county to issue bonds to
pay for it, but the best legal advice
being favorable to the latter point,
Squire Rodman moved that the re-
port of the committee be adopted and
the County Judge be directed to sign
the contract with the King Bridge
Company. After many minor issues
had been disposed of the court ad-
journed for dinner, and returned to
resume the discussion, which lasted
until O'Clock in the afternoon before
vote was finally reached. 1t stood
as follows:
Yeas-'Squires Mcdonald, Rodman,
Lyons, Hughes, Carr, Hannen, Lee,
Moore and Clark-9.
Nays-Hall, Tinsley and Smoot-3.
On motion of Squire Rodman the
former committee was re-appointed
a committee for emergent necessities
on points of differences growing out
of the supervision and construction
of the bridge.
A motion was then made that the
county pay one-fourth of the cost of
