ed, and baa been placed upon the files of the Department for consideration under the rules of the civil service when vacancies occur. At ' present none exist. (Signed) D. M. Key, Postmaster-General. Only the other day, the President refused to remove an Illinois postmaster on the ground that he is a Democrat, and said before be would order his removal to make place for a Republican, it must be shown that the incumbent is incompetent It seems to be generallv understood that unless incompetency * , } ' , ; . - - can be shown on the part of an official, few if any removals will be made. On the subject of making appointments to office, the President takes frequent ocoasion to inform tbe senators and members of Congress of his views as to the relations which ought to exist between them and the Executive iq the matter of appointments to office. He says that he shall be glad to reoeive their recommendations and shall no doubt in many cases appoint the candidates they commend; but if he sees proper to select somebody else, he does not want them to think that their rights have been invaded and that they have consequently cause to take offence. Under the old system, he says, a Congressman selected from among the applicants for an office in his district whatever man he preferred, and after he had commended him,his appointment followed as a matter of course, the Executive performing the mere formal function of signing tbe papers. This system the President means to break up. He believes that it is a gross perversion of the Constitution to have the apt pointing power virtually exercised by senators and representatives. He feels that he is responsible for the character of all Presidential appointees, and that it is his duty to use his best efforts to secure the services for the government of the most competent and honest men. This is a duty which he feels be has no right to delegate to others. Nor is he willing, that under the plea of custom, others should take it out of bis hands. On this point the Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune writes the following : Civil Service Reform has actually begun at Washington, aud begun, as most great changes do, noiselessly. Both in the brief speeches of the new secretaries on taking office and in the proceedings of the first Cabinet meeting, the principle that removals shall not be made without cause nor appointments without fit ness, is clearly made known. Mr. Evarts and Mr. Schure are at work framing a set of rules governing appointments?meant for use this time, not for show?in which the Congressman's monopoly of appointments will be formally and distinctly annulled. Mr. Scburz, k in.his remarks to his new subordinates, plainly intimated that their terms of office were likely, with good behavior, to be longer than his. Mr. Key told a clamorous applicant for office that ouly the army or the President could rembve a postmaster against whom no charges of inefficiency had been made. Verily, there is another spirit abroad in the air of Washington, and it is infectious. It is easy, after all, to do right, and the promptness with which the President is seconded in his efforts for reform by those about him, aud the Unanimous approval which the country accords, show that it was only the first step which needed courage. President Hayes has started bravely and well, and the rest of his way ought to be easy, the politicians of the country notwithstanding. GOT. HAMPTON TO THE PRESIDENT. The contents of the official communication addressed to the President by Gov. Hampton were the subject of an interview had with Judge Mackey, who was one of the committee entrusted with the delivery of the communication to the President. Judge Mackey sums up in one sentence the argument which ~ U?k?ir MAAnranifiAn AT fko I IS IUHUC lU UClinii v/i Lug icvu^uinivu vt luu * Hampton government He says: "Governor Hampton does not address the President in bis magisterial or civic capacity, but solely in the military relations as Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy of the United States. By the words of the Constitution 'the President shall be commander of the army and navy of the United States.' In this capacity the President is requested to act to the extent of terminating the military occupation of the State House, by withdrawing the troops quartered thereiu, and to the end that civil process may be made effective for the eviction of D. H. Chamberlain from the Executive Chamber, and securing the books and records which he now holds with an armed force of Federal troops." Judge Mackey goes on to say: 'This request is made on the decision of the Supreme Court which has adjudged Hampton Governor. Since my arrival Associate Justice Wright, who is in a highly peripatic state, has come to Washington and published in the Republican a denial that he intended finally to concur in a judgment in favor of Mr. Hampton. In answer to this I state the undeniable fact that on Tuesday, February 27, Justice Wright drew two months' salary from the Hampton government, commencing on the 14th day of December, the day of Hampton's p ' inauguration. The money was drawn on a check countersigned 'Wade Hampton, Governor of South Carolina.' We expect President Hayes to comply with the request of Governor Hampton. For to refuse it is to deny to the people of South Carolina that right of local self-government which the President, in bis inaugural address, pledges himself to recognize and respect This is certain, that the people of South Carolina, throughout its whole tax-paying citizenship, will resist the domination of Chamberlain everywhere, and continually, always, however, within the limits of their duty to obey the Constitution and the laws of the United States. Owing to the practical dissolution of the Supreme Court by the death of the Chief Justice, leaving but two Associate Justices, the. Circuit Courts, of which there are eight, are virtually our Courts of last resort. All the Circuit Judges have, directly or indirectly, recognized Hampton as the Governor of South Carolina, except Carpenter, and even he has decided that Hampton was elected, but denies that he was legally installed." On the subject of the collection of the State taxes, Judge Mackey says: "The Senate, which is Republican, having refused to atteud in the House at the publication of the vote, ^ . Chamberlain's Treasury presents 'a beggarly account of empty boxes,' while that of Hampton's government is full through the voluntary contributions of the tax-payers. The Colrirrwhnn A avium tlifi 1 miRtinnsvluma and U1UU J ? ; j the penitentiary are all being supported from the Hampton Treasury. Chamberlain's authority exists as an obstruction. He is simply the ward of the Sergeaut-of-the-Guard, while Hampton's is active everywhere in moving the machinery of government, having the support of the property-holding, intelligent and moral elementof both political parties and races. Chamberlain's must fall by the law of gravitation. Hampton has authorized the committee of which I am now Chairman, General Kershaw having been obliged by business engagements to return, to say to the President that he is willing to be held responsible for the maintenance of public order in the State and the enforcement of the rights of all classes by a due administration of the laws, without regard to race or color, if the military intervention is terminated. He demands that the judgment of the Court of last resort shall be respected in accordance with the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, which has decided in the ease of Leffingwell v$. Warren, 2 Black, that the judgment of the highest tribunal of a State upon a question arising under the Constitution or statutes of such State is as binding on the Courts of the United States as the text it self. The question of the assertion of a title to the office of Governor is precisely the same in its legal aspect as the assertion of a title to real property; moreover, this military intervention is directly in the face of the recent decision of the Supreme Court involving the constitutionality of the Enforcement act, wherein the Court says: 'The Government of the United States has no power to perform police duty in the States/ ? ? > I?" A little Swedish girl, while out walking with her lather on a starry night, became absorbed in contemplation of the skies. Being asked what she was thinking of, she replied : "I was thinking if the wrong side of heaven is so glorious, what must the right side be ?" Exactly so. If the glimpses that we catch here of the suramerland unseen afford us such glory and joy, what must it be there ?" We are glad to hear it.

Now is the time of year for Pnuemonia, Lung Fever, <fec. Every family should have a bottle of Boschee's German Syrup. Don't allow for one moment that cough to take hold of your child, your family or yourself. Consumption, Asthma, Pnuemonia, Croup, Hemorrhages, and other fatal diseases may set in. Although it is true German Syrup is curing thousands of these dreaded diseases, yet it is much better to have it at hand when three doses will cure you. One Bottle will lost vnnr whole familv a winter and keep you safe from danger. If you are consumptive; do not rest until you have tried this remedy. Sam pie Bottles 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents.

We are buying earlier than usual, to take advantage of the present low prices, which cannot continue long. Owing to the general scarcity of money, a buyer [ will not be sent North from our house this season.
