Secretary Bayard has been the subject of a good deal of criticism since he became a member the Cabinet, and it is stated that he regrets very much leaving his seat in the Senate for a position in the Cabinet. A civil service examination will be held at Columbia on the 9th of June for the benefit of those who desire to make application for positions in the government departments at Washington.

The individual prize j in the "cadet drill was awarded to Mr. J Coleman of the Citadel after a closc contest by one of the Auburn Cadets. TnE Czar has presented General Komaroff with a "sword of honor'' with a gold hilt and the scabbard set with diamonds. A letter written by the Czar praises the commander for the firmness and prudence exercised by him in dealing with the Afghans. Ox account of the literary advanvantasres offered by the Federal capi tal, it has been decided to build the new Catholic University in that city. A site has been bought and n.overnents j are being made looking to the erection ot a handsome building at an early day. Tee proposal of the English government to renew the Irish Crimes Act in a modified form has met with considerable opposition and resulted in a qnarrel in the Cabinet. The Parnellites will resist the passage of the renewal bill, arid if necessary will so obstruct its passage as to make it uncomfortable for its advocates. The Women's national rress Association was organized in New Orleans on the loth iust. Mrs- E. J. Nicholson, ot the Picayune, was elected president and Mrs. O'Bryne, of the Boston Post, was elected secretary. They give a cordial invitation to all women engaged on the press of this country to connect with the associa UOI1. The Illinois Democrats have become tired oi vofing for Colonel Morrison, and at a caucus held on the 14th inst. decided to take a number of prominent Democrats in the State and vote for each one nntil one or the other had received the entire Democratic vote. It is to be hoped that this plan will be successful and a good man named to succeed Mr. Logan. The present administration, like all others, has its kickers. A leading exchange remarks, and we believe with a good deal ot trutn, tnat me nignesi and longest kickers are ex-members of Congress who have been left out in the cold ?n appointments to office. They can console themselves with the fact that in their judgment the government doesn't know its own interest. The New Orleans Picayune has commenced printing on paper made from bagasse?the refuse of sugar cane after the juice has been pressed out. It is thought that it will be an excellent substitute for old rags. Should the experiment prove successful the price of white paper will be materially reduced, and the large sugar growers will find a bonauza in what heretofore has been thrown away as useless.

London has been the scene of a very serious riot, in which 10,000 men were pitted agaiftst the police force. The difficulty originated from a proposal to increase the duties on spirits and beer. This proposal met with such bitter opposition that a mob assembled and drove the police from the grounds -which had been set apart for an audience to hear speeches from a number of orators, and also the speakers themselves. The following cablegram foreshadows the future of Ireland and her govern A - rcTi ~4 luent; "Xt is uvw jiu upcn sctici niai, practical home rale for Ireland is not far off. The arrangement will probably be for a central Irish council, with a formal r<?si tent representative of the Queen. This, of course, is impossible with the present Parliament, but it is_ likely the government will make some such announcement of their intentions if re-elected." The Stephens Memorial Association, which was orsranfzed soon after the death of the late Alexander Stephen?, ] 1- gggg for the purpose of buying Liberty Hall i and establishing a high school, has j bought the premises and contracted to j make some repairs about the place, j The body of the great Georgia states- j man will be placed in a vault ou the j grounds at an early day witn appropriate ceremonies, there to rest amid the sceucs of childhood, manhood and old age until the "resurrection morn". The President has appointed Leroy F. Youmons to be United States Dis- j trict Attorney for South Carolina. It | has generally been accepted that Mr. I Youmans would be appointed to fill j this position, and consequently not j much news to the people. Mr. You-1 mans has served his State and the Democratic party faithfully upon every occasion, and as a lawyer ranks among the very first in the State. In committing the responsibilities uf this office to Mr. Youmans the National I Government may feel satisfied that they have entrusted it to a man who will fill it with honor to himself, his State and the Federal Government. Diking the trip of Mr. Carl Schurz through the South last winter he was so much pleased with it he has written a pamphlet upon the New South. It is the resalt of his observation and inquiries on this trip. The New York Times, in commenting upon it, says: ine topic is cercaiDiy a seasonable | one at this time, when, as Mr. Scnurz observes, every candid man in the country lias become convinced that the Southern people were not "waiting the advent of the Democratic party to power to -put forth disloyal sentiments and schemes," and Mr. Schurz has treated it in a way which' will make his pamphlet instructive and profitable reading, North or South. The trial of Major Jackson for em[ bezzlement, which has been in progress' for the past week in Augusta, was concluded on Saturday. The jury after being out for about an hour returned with a verdict of guilty and recommended the prisoner to the mercy of the Court. He was liable to a sentence of from two to s?ven years. He was sentenced to hard work in the uenitentiarv for six years. A motion ?. m will be made for a new trial, and if his counsel should fail in securing this the case will be carried to the Supreme Court. The result of this trial should forcibly impress all in this day of wholesale embezzlement that where law is rigidly administered all must stand the consequences of their acts no matter what may be their position | in life. | i iL"~ | m Thomas fortune, ecmor or me Freeman's Journal, one of the organs of the colored race, says: As far as I can ascertain, the colored people are perfectly satisfied with the | appointment of Dr. Thompson as min| ister to Hayti. He is capable and honest, and that is the kind of man colored men want. If the Administration does as well towards our people as I expect, a great many of them will become Democrats. Mr. Cleveland is a good man and I think he will recognize the colored people of the North. The Republicans made only two important appointments of colored persons?Bassett to Hayti aiTd Garnet to Siberia. I hope the Administration will soon come ont squarely on the colored issue, as I think it-will help u> greatly. I have no fear of the future of our race, as our watchword is progress aud we are going forward every day." Tt- cwmt thnr. fhf> f?r?lrtrpr? rfiop; is better satisfied with the new Administration than they had expected that they would, and are now realizing1 that Mr. Cleveland is the President of the whole country, irrespective of party or color, and that they will be protected in all their rights by the Government. n b.?| The failure of the last General Assembly to make an appropriation for taking the census of the State this year has elicited considerable comment from the press. The Governor has directed a letter to the Attorney-General for advisement in the matter. In the reply of the Attorney-General, he says that under existing laws the census cannot be taken in advance of au appropriation by the Legislature for that purpose. The yews and Courier sums up its editorial on the subject with proposing a plan. It says: The best and only practicable course is to await the meeting of the Legislature in December. That body can then, if it. will, make the necessary Pppropriation and take a recess until such J time as the census shall havs been completed. It can then meet again and pass a reapportionment bill, in ample time for the conventions and elections next year. It may not even be necessary to have a second session j the result of the census, and to declare ' the rcapporlionment of representation on the constitutional basis. Should ! the Legislature again fail to make the ! necessary appropriation, it will be in ! season to consider whether any means I can be di-vised whereby the Governor ! shall effect the enumeration, as re' quired by the Constitution, when the census shall not have been taken in the course of the year?the present yearappointed for the purpose. A delegation' from Utah called on the President some days ago pre! sented the resolutions adopteu .ecsntly | at a mass meeting of Mormons protest ing against the acts ol Jb'ederal officials. The following is an extract from the presentation: We protest against unfair treatment on the part of the General Government. We protest against a continuance of territorial bondage, subversive of the rights of freemen and contrary to the spirit of American institutions. We protest against special legislation, the result of popular prejudice and reugious mierierence. >ve protest against the conscience of one class of citizens being made the criterion by which to judge another. We protest against the breaking up of family relations formed previous to the passage of the Edmunds law, and the depriving of women and children of the support and protection of their husbands and fathers. We protest against the prosecution of persons, many of whom are infirm and aged, who en leicu yuiv piuiai uiarnage iieiure it was declared a crime, and have never j violated any law.

A leading exchange in an editorial speaks in the highest terms of Mr. Randall as a party leader. It says of hiin: As a skilled leader on the floors of Congress his ability has been nniver sally conceded, and mere is pernaps in public LO-day no man of whose abilities his Republican antagonists have a higher opinion. Recently a number of Republicans in Washington were discussing the future situation in the presence of Mr. Blaine, and expressing the opinion that the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives would become demoralized next win-! ter over conflicting issues, when Mr. Blaine remarked, "You forget that Mr. Randall is a member of the House.' Mr. Blaine on the floors or congress with Mr. Randall, where he so often measured lances with him, had ample opportunity to learn the full dimensions ot'the man he encountered. As leader of the minority in the days of Reconstruction, when the Republicans had* an overwhelming majority, he showed his power and his resource in defeating some of the odious partisan measures introduced bv the skillful application of House rules and the introduction of obstructive motions that held the majority at bay and made it powerless. While Mr. Randall is one of the ablest men in the country, yet we do not. believe that he is using his ability towards promoting the best interests of the American people. A great many Southern newspapers are growing impatient over the delay in appointments to Federal offices. It is nothing but natural, after being under control of partisans for nearly a quarter of century, that our people should be anxious to be relieved of this class of office-holders. The very subjcct itselt carries with it great care and responsibility as upon the four years of Democratic rule rests the chance of holding- the reins ot the Federal Government hereafter. The New York Times speaks of the Southern office-holders as follows: The ctn-se of the Southern service, as a whole, now is that it is a partisan service. It would be but little grain for the best interests of the Sonth that it should remain partisan, and that Democrats of the same stamp and with the same motives and tendencies should replace the Republicans. It would be a gain, perhaps, in some small degree, because even the most reckless Demom'fitip. partisans wonld be snbiect. in the public offices, to the influence of the public opinion of the communities in which thev lived in a way that most of the Rejwiblicans have not been. But this slight advantage would be more than outweighed by the great injury that would follow a display of reckless partisanship in that section. What the South needs now is precisely what is needed for years, a body of Federal office-holders of good character and capacity, representing the Federal Government with dignity, and with credit to themselves and to the government, performing their duties faithfully, and holding aloof from mere partisan struggles. "We have urged ?u every Republican President in succession the wisdom and necessity of providing the South with this kind of government officials. She principal movement motive for such a policy, apart from the general requirements of sound administration, was that it would-tend very actively toward the creation of a strong sentiment of respect and attachment' for the Union as represented l>y-4b? OAtloaat udmi?i? tration. This motive is now replaced by the corresponding one that snch a civil service in the Sonth, selected as it wonld be from Southern citizen?, would have an active tendency to strengthen the respect and attachment of the whole country for the people of that section. JL'fte JKemovai 01 rosimasierh. The Postmaster General has written a circular addressed to the Democratic members of Congress from Ohio, Virginia and other States in regard to the removal of partisan postmasters. Mr. Vilas regrets very much the continued illness of Mr. Hay, his first assistant, US 11 UilUVVS UOUU1U WUIK Uil IUUI UIIU consequently he is unable to make removals as fast as he would like to do. To facilitate this work he suggests that members of Congress pick out the most offensive partisans in the postoffices of each county and recommend first-class men to fill the positions. There are in the United States fortynine thousand fourth class offices, the - - f 1- - ?- J great majority ox wmcnare uneu wim Republican postmasters who have used their positions for the benefit of the party placing them in office, and it is the desire |of Mr. Vilas that all such persons be removed, aud that relief granted the people which they so confidently expect. Tn concluding his circular he says: As the common good is infinitely beyond the welfare of any one person, hower great his place, so appointments, to further a mere personal end, should be absolutely forbidden, and recommendations upon that basis may well expect disfavor. TT.M .. ? i.l - 4. ivir. viias uas iaKen a siep in me right direction, and in writing this letter his one aim seems to be to make a reformation much needed. There is nothing in his course in violation of the civil service rules, and if Congressmen act upon his suggestion we may expect to see a liumber of removals within the next two months, j Such a step will throw considerable wort on our rftnresentatives and when their ta=;k is completed jt is probable that they will be pretty good political detectives. The course of the Postmaster General is in accordance with the views of the President, and will meet with the hearty approval of all interested in .reforming the many abuses which have crept into the administration of the national govern i 1 i.U~ ~ C LLieiH uy me iuu^ ica.sc yji >vci ^ivch to one political party.

The Charleston Collectorshlp and the Columbia Po&toffice?Youmans Appointed District Attorney. [Correspmlence of the 2feicx and Courier.] Washington, May.11.?The contest for the customs collector ship is growing more and more interesting, owing, no doubt, to the fact that there are no less than ten persons applying for the position. The records of the treasury department show that the following: gentlemen have been recommended or have applications on file: A. H. Mowry, L. J. Walker, P. Moran, Arthur P. Prioleau, Ellison S. Keitt, John D. Kennedy, Edward F. Sweegan, and William J. Aliddleton. The last named gentleman was in the city last Saturday, and he hopes to be selected as a compromise between Messrs. II o wry and Walker, who are recognized as the most prominent applicants for the position. At the treasury department neither the secretary nor any of his subordinates will venture a prediction on the subject, but they all agree that action is only delayed because of the numerous conflicting elements in the .struggle. The secretary does not intend to become involved or take sides with any of the contending factions,: and as soon as the South Carolinians are ready to agree upon one man he is prepared to authorize the appointment. The President, through his privattf secretary, Co!. Lamont, state, that he does not propose to take any part in the controversy, but will be governed entirely by fl,3 recommenda'i <n of Secretary Manning. There is also an 'Interest) ig fight in progress over the Columbia postmasf r\i?r- r\ 'Pkft I'll a i n ah rv\ iLiom^. jl wc. iiJinuiiuibent expired on the fc'th instant, and the case is now upon the postmaster-geno^al?s table waiting to: Senator Hampton and, Representative Perry to come to an amicable understanding. The Senator as a resident of Columbia, claims the right to name the postmaster at that place, and, therefore, recommends the selection of Mr. W. H. Gibbes. Representative Perry says the office is the most prominent one in his district and he proposes to have something to say abont the appointment. He I'ocnnimAnrlc fhn nvrminfirm nf tho rlon. utv postmaster, Mr. Leapheart, whom he claims has won a promotion by the efficiency he has displayed in virtually conducting the office for several years. The postmaster^general, like Secretary Manning, refuses to become a party to the family quarrel of the South Carolina Congressmen, and, therefore, is holding the matter under advisement. Postmaster-General Vilas has a tender spot in his heart for women who have to earn their own living, as his South Carolina appointments made to-d-av indicate. Miss Mary E. Maher has been appointed postmistress at. Blackville, .Barnwell county vice Nix removed, and B. It. Martin, who succeeded Nix, but failed to qualify, and Mrs. Susan L. McLees, at Ilock Mills, Anderson county. Washington," May 12.?The President this afternoon appointed Leroy F. Youmans, of Columbia, to be United States district attorney for the State of South Carolina. This appointment was finally agreed upon last Saturday, and the recommendation of Attorney-General Garland was forwarded to the President yesterduv; When the subject was considered at the Cabinet meeting to-day the selec tion ol Mr. Yonraans was Heartily approved, and Hie President immediately afterward attached his signature to the appointment. There ha.? never been serious doubt about Mr. Youmans's appointment at any time since the 4th of March, all though he had numerous worthy comd petitors. The records of the depart! merit of justice show that the following gentlemen were recommended for position: George E. HaynswortO ^utwF; T. C. Gaston, Chestert L. Orr, Greenville; James P.

A STRAXGE DIVORCE CASEHow a Baltimore Youth -was Forced to Marry a Pretended Widow Twice His Age. George S. Todd has filed a bill in the Circuit Court of Baltimore, asking that his marriage to Susan C. Todd be declared null and void. The case is singularly interesting because of the discrepancy in the ages of the two parties to suit. The defendant is a woman of mature age, having grown sons; one of them a demist,^ in whose office young Todd was a student. He board ed witn tnc aeiencianr, wno ciaimeci 10 be Mrs. Susan C. Finney, a widow. She became enamored of her youthful boarder, and vainly endeavored to bring about a marriage with him. Finding her efforts unavailing she, in March last, informed her sons that Tood had taken advantage of her affections for him and betrayed her. They naturally became enraged and threatened to shoot him. He, fearing bodily harm, consented to marry her and the ceremony was performed, immediately after which the bridegroom left the house. In his declaration Todd- slates that he has since iearnea that the defendant has been of unsound mind for years, and is now confined in an insane asylum, also thatsbe is the lawful wife of Andrew C. Finney, who now resides in Virginia. Young Todd is believed to.be innocent' of the charges preferred against him, and his friends are pnshing bis claims for a divorce. ?The twenty-sixth annual convention of the Yonng * Men's Christian Vi \j nitwu uiaivo auu Canada met in Atlanta last week.
