When Marx Hanna Was making a
speech, at Bellaire, Ohio, some one in
the audience asked him "Hew about
the UnlOnA Pacific deal" aud the AS
ISOLATED Press reports him as reply
ing:
Well, my friend, | will tell YOU all |

the government for the purchase Of

Ing the deal upon President Mckinley
want the United States to get ont
OF the Union Pacific all they can.
As the term of Senator Harris and
President Mckinley begun on the
same day this attempt to give a
political reason for Senator Harris
action was as false as it was con-
temptlbIe, His effort was to enable
the government to save what it has

partially successful, but the probabili-
tiles still are that the government will
lose score or two million dollars in
THIS matter that might have been
saved.

Law as to Appointment of Deputy Reve-
nue. Collectors.

Washington, September 2.-Some Of
the deputies in the office Of Colonel
James D. Brady, the collector of inter-
nal revenue for the Richmond, Va,
district, have protested to the treas
ury department because Colonel Brady
did not re-appoint them and have set
up the claim that in failing to do so
Colonel Brady violated the civil service
regulations. At the internal revenue
bureau it is pointed out that by law
leach collector is authorized to appoint.
under an instrument in his own hand
writing, as many deputies as he may
hin proper" Deputies SO appointed
must, if they are to continue their ten
ure, be reappointed by each succeed
ing collector. Under the exceptions
made by President McKinley's recent
order one deputy and one stamp dep
uty are exempted from those who must
be appointed under the civil service
regulations. While each collector can
exercise his discretion about reap
pointing his predecessors deputies, II
he does not chose to do SO he must
make his new appointments, with the
exceptions noted, from the eligible list.
If there is no eligible list, he may,
under the law make temporary APP
pointments for thirty days.

We see In your paper Of August 18th
a statement from Mr.. J. B. Mercer. Of
Wilmington. that the brigade Of which
h Twentieth regiment belonged was
annihilated. being swept from the face
Of the earth" at the battle of Gettys-
burg. and never again appeared in the
organization OF the confederate army.
We were no personally acquainted

Ger. and also Captain John 8. Brooks.
who got up the company. who was pro-
NOTED to major in 1868 and was killed
in battle at Spottsylvania Court House.
Virginia, May Il. 1854. For fear that
h statement may lead people to be-
lieve that the brigade deserted to the
enemy, we take from a diary kept by
regiment, during the war;. which
composed a part Of the brigade in Ques-
ton. Garland's brigade was composed
Of the Fifth. Twelfth. Twentieth and
Twenty-third North Carolina regi-
ments. which were engaged in most all
the important battles Of the army Of
Northern Virginia, and from the battle
Of Gettysburg to the surrender at APP
pomattox. speaks OF the brigade as fol-
lows:
General Iverson was transferred to
a Louisiana brigade July 19. 1863. Gen.
eral Ramseur was temporarily in
command. r.. d. Johnson. Of Charlotte,
n. c.. was promoted to brigadier gen.
eral and put in command Of the bril-
gade in 1864, which he held to the close
of the war. General Johnson being cap
tured or the retreat from Petersburg.
Colonel J.. w. Lea, of the Fifth North
Carolina regiment, was in command OF
the brigade at the surrender at Apo
mattox April 9, 1865, with 433 men en-
rolled" North Carolina had no better
soldiers in the field than composed this
