Seneca, February 13.-The poll tax payer seoras to be taking the most inter est in our coming contest. The man who has mado little for himself is often too anxious to spend tho long savings of others. The tailor made man and "paid reporter" wants to advertise the town by way of tho extra 3 mill tax. It strikes us that a few paid boasters and paid heelers might do something, especially at this particular time. Most men get old enough to vote themselves before t hey undortake to vote others. Aud yet ita "assured." Two hundred and fifty dollars a yoar ought to biro a mighty good clerk for the board of trustees. A nice place it is. A man who can "keep Behool." act as show manager and run a campaign all at tho samo time ought to be well worth $705 per annum, witb 4 per cont interest from date.

Against their Postmaster ?nd Capt Capers. [W. W. Price, in Columbia Record.] Washington, February ll.-Some of tbo people at Westminster, 8. C., are not satisfied with the disposition of tho caso of Postmaster Mulkey, of that plftOv, by the Post Office Department, at the time Capt. John O. Capera came ou here re ceutly, and aie making trouble at tho Civil Service Commission, whioh they hope will extend to the White House. They freely oharge that Mulkey has boen guilty of gross violations of the civil ser vice laws, with thu kuowledgo of high Republionn officials, and that Capt. Ca pei s, as Uuited States District Attorney, refused to make a case against him bo fore the F?deral graud jury. Tho Civil Service Commission has nothing directly to do with Mulkoy, ex cnpt that it has beon the custom of tho President to have that body investigate all complaints of civil sorvico violations and of infringement of tho rulo against collecting monoy for political purposes. A long communication has boen re ceived from West minster by Gen. John C. Black, head of the Civil Servico Com mission. It fust calls attention to the reported disposition of the case against Mulkoy, and says that it is quite a differ ent account of the disposition of tho case to that giveu by the commission. It is Btatod that there is an attempt to he cloud tho facts by giving out that Mul key was merely guilty of asking coi."ri butious to tho expenses of dolegatos to the convention. Tho communication re peats tho charges made to tho commis sion and tho Post Oflico Department that Mulkoy violated Section II of the Civil Sorvico Act in that "he solicited and re ceived and was concerned iu collecting and receiving assessments, subscriptions and contributions for political purposes from postmasters at Fair Play, Tugaloo, Tokeoua and Oakway, S. C. That bo also violated Sectiou 12 of said act at the same time." Tho statement continues : "That ho violated Seotion 13 of the same aot; also Section 0 of tho act if August 15, 1370, in that ho did, by throats to have tho postmasters at Oakway and Fair Play roraoved and their business rivals ap pointed to Buccecd them, cooroo thom into paying the assessments levied by him against those offices for political purposes; that ho violated Civil Service Rulo 1 and au order of President. Roose velt dated Juno 13, 1002, in that no used bis official position to control tho elec tion of dologatos from Tugaloo township to tho Oconoo county and tho State Re publican conventions, hold, respectively, at Walhalla and Columbia, S. C., in tho years 1WH), 1002 and 1004; that ho at tended these meetings to the noglect of his official duties and was perniciously activo in tho organization of precinct and other meetings, and the County Con vention of Oconeo county, especially in 11)0-1, paying to tho assistant post master at Walhalla, S. C., money to pay Samuel Smith his per diem and mileage to tho State Convention that yoar; and paying different delegates sums of money for political purposes in tho Westminster post offico upon their roturu from tho county convention in each of tho years named." Tho allegation is made that tho "co op?r?t ion" of Capt. Capers in prevent ing violation of civil sorvico rulos cannot bo expected in tho face of tho fact that "ho refused to approvo, as United States Attorney, a warrant sworn out for Mul key nearly two years ago before ^ora missiouer J, W. Sbolor, at Walha!.} c>. C., for these same offenses and that ? had thoso charges against Mulkoy fur nished him last winter when, as referoe, he sont his namo to tho President for nominal ?on to the place he now holds, and persists now in urging his reten t iou.
