TUB RUSH FOR OFFICE. : According to the report our Wash ington correspondent makes in the letter published today in these col urans, there must be a fearful jam of expectant office-seekers in- Washings ton. at the present writing, a very in stgnifio&nt portion Of whom will get what they want, and the very large majority ot whom will be terribly disappointed There are men there .who have been there for months, liv ing at first class 'hotels, spending much money in quest of offices, hoping from day to day to see the an nouncement of the appointment they desire, when after all, and after they had built their hopes high and were confident of success, they discover khq fact that somebody else's1 poleas lander than theirs, and that ' theirs was not as long by several feet 5 as they supposed it was. Office-seeking is a dreadfully uncertain business at all times in Washington, but it is especially ' go since the new regime pameiq: (Sira are elemeptg of un certainty connected with it whiali have xievet f heretofore .had -frn jesilt ; ence. Civil , service . rules come in, the tenure of office comes in,' beitner of which counted for much, $f;anyt thing,' under preceding administra tions, And then come an entirely new set of men with claims upon Senators and Representatives who have for the past quarter of a century had bit very; little patronage to bestow, and were consequently not troubled in this line. iThey mt back and pnak :Jt easy whtfp itheir ttepubljcan irienas tugged al&rfg' with their expectant constituents As a rule these Sena tors and Representatives don't like to say t'not hen approached to usl their influence for this and that man, and tile consequences are that there are'more -. "Jesses" direct and by in ference : than'; can. be realized, and somebody ' thafe counted on the "ye3, ' direct or indu-ect. must oome up missing when- the game is played. The ordinary proportion of these is about fen to one, ten disappointed to one -f successful. Then there" is a matfiod of f4ceeyb8erye4 in ie departments which makes it next thing to impossible to ascertain who the probable winning man is or will be until the appointment is made and officially .announced. Men and their representatives make daily " Visits to the" white bouse" or to the "depart ments, expecting to learn something definite, and come away about as wise as when. Ibey-went And thus days, weeks and. even . months are spent in kjUing time and in spending money in Washington. , Even after places in the departments' at Wasn ington are ; secured ; the successful parties have sometimes to wait for weeks, for,somer unexplained reason, to lake a 8eatt the' desk to which they are assigned. , All this is very annoying,' but it is what the appli cant for office who goes ta Washing ton to appear in hisT0wn beliaf way evpect, and what hundreds of them dally feaMjse. The1 throng might be diminished and much 'money jpent saved if Congressmen had thepan4or and moral courage to say to those seeking their influence for whom there is no chance of success, tht they cannot succeed, and that their timepeut in Washington is so much time thrown away. , It would perhaps be an unpleasant announcement, but it would be better ' for all concerned, and. Would prevent much bitter dies appointment . .. . ' - . . The rapid'grbWtb of the tobapco in dustry is shown in, the fact, that in the United States alone, there were manufactured last year g,457,309,Oi7 cigars and 0941384,000 cigarettes, rev, quiring over 91,000,000 pounds- of leaf ,1 an increase. of over 50,000,000 since 187?. Other manufactures of tobacco last year consumed 317,451, 000 pounds. The Mormons, it is said, are mak ing many converts in Tennessee, Most of the deluded ditoiples come from the mountainous districts. This indicates that the attack-which was made 'on' the Mormons in Tennessee t-same time-ago has not bad much-efr feet in keeping them out of the State or preventing them from - making proselytes.

New York Times. - At the recent meeting of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Cincinnati, the Rev. R. H. Allen; secretary pf the standing committee on Freedmen, made Jioine extraordi nary statements. . Among them ere these: Thatj the Colored population of this country dojbles every tens ty years, while she White population doubles only once in thirty five years, and at the present rate of increase there will be in the" United States one hundred years hence 192,000,000' col ored people and only 96,000,000 whites. Other persons have, publish ed 'within the last. Ws&t threfilyears articles in which similar predictions-. appiirntly baseit fupojr trustworthy statistics were maqe. soon alter toe results sot the ensu of 1870 were made known the disappearance of the c6lored race in thig country was foretold, because the figures indicated for that race an increase of only 10 per cent, in ten years. The census of lao, showing, an apparent increase of 35 per cent, in ten years a rate greater than the rate for white peos ple-m rthe same period turned the tide of opinion m tne opposite airec- tion. I . . ! If those who sadly predicted in 1872 and J8?3 that the colored race would perish from the land bad known that the census of 1870 with reference to the population of the South was al most worthless they would .have wasted no time upon the calculation that pointed to so gloomy "a result; And if for. Alien had known just bow much the census figures of 1870 were worth, and ho carefully s.udied the figures for other years, ho would not have made the- extraordinary 1 assert tions of which we have spoken.- Let us see what some of the facts are The colored face, he said, doubles in twenty years.' Thalia not true of the period from 1860 jtoc 1189.' he percentage of increase for that period was?ortly: 48, and each of the two censuses is trustworthy! ' ' Nor is it true of the period from 1840 to 180, for in that period the percentage of increase was only 64 per cent- Q much for one of Pr. Allen's remarka. ble gtatr-ments. While the rate of colored mei-easa from I860 to 1880 was 43 per cent, the rate of increase for the whites was 61 per ceatTal though in the earlier part of that period there was caused by the war a white loss estimated at 1,000,000. After making an allowance for immi gration it appears that the white rate of increase was still greater than that of the (Colored people. r It is not difficult to ftnq out jusr what the rate T)f increase for each race has been since Our first census was taken. The average decennial rate of increase for the white people for the five decennial periods begin ning in 1790 an4 ending in 1840 was very nearly 35 per eeht., twhiia the corresponding average -rate for the colored race was only .304 per cent. The white rate: for .each of the two following decad s was more than 27 Eer-,eenfc.i while i the rate for the lacks was 264, for one bt the decades and oply 22 for the other- Tbe rates for the double decadg ending in 1SSQ havealrtady been giyep7-Ue,91; oolored, 48. The same general ten dency can be shown inanother way. in lau tne coiorea people were i zt percent Qfihe whole population, and the whites were"?0.73 per cent. This proportion was substantially v main tained until 182Q, when, the colored people began to steadily recede and inp wnjte people so ateauiiy auvauce. In 1860 the .whites were 6562 per cent of the- whole and the colored pegple only 14.13 per cent. Omitting the untrustworthy censu3 of 1870, we ponie to the last census, which shows that thewhites were tben86.4 per cent, and the colored people only 13 12 percent. 5 w i These figures effectually d.is.pQga Qf gensationai statements like those made by Dr. Allen. Col. Aot)y Offered a Coiunviud bat lie In "a letter from Col John 0. .. Mos by to a friend in AlexabdrMi. - Va., dated ong Kong, April 181883; he says: "I was offered by Li Hung Chang, the Bismarck of China, the command er of the Chinese army, with liberty of employing.as officers- 300 ex-Con federates, !. I declined, but have kept profound secret until peace was made with China, .1 could not bo a Dugald Dalgetty, a mere mercenary soldier of fortune. I could not fight for money, or from anything ies? than patriotic motives.' If it had been made public during the contest that China had made this offer to me it would- have discredited her and been regarded as a confess-on of weakness. As they had paid me this high compliment, which I could not help, I would not, do anything to in, jure them. There was , certainly 'millions in it.' I might haye played the part of Tamerlap, 6r Genghis $han, or founded a greater empire than that of the Moguls.", ' A Proposed Subscription Defeated. At the election in Lynchburg, Va., Thursday, the vote oh the . questior4 of subscribing $300,000 to theynoh burg and South western Ruilroad was as follows: Sstor subscription 2,161 ; against subscription 276. t The ' pro position is defeated, but only because of the light vote.

J , HOW TO KEEP HEALTU.. What the Hoard of Ilealib Ke com mends in Case of Sickness. Charleston News and Courier. The board of health have issued a paper on disinfection and disinfect antsthe result of a resolution adopt ed at the St. Louis meeting of the Public Health Association appointing a committee to take into .considera tion the comparative value of the va ous disinfectants now in use. 'Dr, Sternberg, surgeon United States Army, on detached; service " at the John Hopkins University was ap pointed chairman and for the past six months has been at work. ; The re sult id the publication now given to the community for their guidapce. . Recent researches, says the paper in question, have demonstrated that many of the agents which have been found useful as deodorizers or as an-f tiseptics (to avert putrefactive decomj position,) are entirely without value tor the destruction of' disease germs. For instance, copperas is a most val4 uable antiseptic, but it is not a:de4 stroyer of disease germs. For the vault and foul drains, however, cop peras is most useful; but for the dis ease germs of the sick chamber disin fectants are necessary. Cloride "of lime is recommended from the rapid ity of its action as being entitled to the first place. The four following standard solutions are also recom mended: ' - 4 Standard Solution No. 1. Dissolve chlor ide of lime of the best quality in soft water in the proportion of fouif ounces to the gallon. Use a pint of above for disinfection , of each dis charge in cholera, typhoid fever. &c. Leave for ten minutes bef ore 1 throwing into the closet. ; Standard Solution No. . Dissolve! corrosive sublimate and permanga nate of potash in soft water in the proportion to two drachms of each salt to the gallon.

I Dissolve oorrosive sublimate iri water in the proportions of four ounces to the gallon, and add one drachm of permanganate of potash to each gallon to give color to the sob tion. One once of No. 4 to the gallon of water will make a suitable solution for the disinfection of clothing tpJbe kept in solution two hours at lealj before sent to wash"; use wopden i)r, earthenware vessela as receptaeiesi! Let it be remembered that boiling for? half an hour in the ordinary opera tions of the laundry will destroy the! vitality of all known disease germs This should be done at once, v In the sick reom no disinfectant can take the place of free ventilation ana cleanliness, ana it is better .to turn contaminated air out of . thei room than to attempt to neutralizaifr by. volatile-chemical agents. , f To disinfect an apartment after oc cupation, the windows and ' doors should be carefully closed and sjali ohur, burned, not less than three. po-,nt3 of 8ulph'4r fop eaeh one thoui, sand cubic feet of air space in" the room. Then all surfaces should be washed with a solution consisting of one part of corrosive sublimate to one thousand of water, then free yeutila' tion and soa,n and hot water, - Sir. IJay's Vu wi a.i to lli m.iva:. First Assistant Postmaster Gener al Hay, has written a letter to lion. Charles Hunsicker, of Norristown, Pa, in which he says:- "I think that there is some misapprehonsion as to the disposition and purposes of the Postoffice Department. Very great responsibility, has been put up on the agents oE the people here, and it seems to tne that it ia essential, to their ultimate approval and to the lasting welfare of the party of whieh we are members that all administra tive action should be taken with the utmost care, after due consideration,: and . . with the . fullest attainable krjQwe4ge of all tbe facts which might properly influence it. The agents of the administration in their various positions are new to their .work, as are the members of the party throughout the country, unused to the consideration or the exercising of any functions in public affairs .Pemocrats for many years, have had no part whatever in the procurement or enjoyment of federal offices, eyen of the most minor char acter. There ought to be m.utqal con sideration between the great mass of the people and their selected agents in Washington, and mutual assis tance should be readily rendered. There should be one spirit animating all alike ; to beconsiderate, to have reasonable confidence, and to maintain with fidelity the pledges made before the election as to what democratic methods of government would be. The spoils system with all its aggregated an.d vast power, was what we fought and prevailed agaiqst - 'Generally public policy and sound party considerations require that reason should exist and be assigned for removals from public offices. Throughout the United States, under past aaminatrations, inthe majority Of oases federal appointments have heen made only as rewarJa for' extreme party services, and the of fices have been grossly misused for the purpose of retaiuing one political party in power and utterly exclud ing the other from any share in con ducting the public affairs of the United States "It is due to the people of all par ties, and it is due to the democratic party as the accuser of those who have been heretofore in power,- to exhibit to the country the misdoings of the men who have long been solely entrusted with public offices. Therefore it is asked (and the re quest is reasonable) by those who are now charged with the duty of administration that the official mis doings of which we have complained should be made known when remov als are to be. made, in order. tb.at the truth and, the justness of the aocusa tion can'be fully shown." llankroptcr Fraud Debts.

To the Editor ot The Observer: There seems to be some excitement to to the location of the collector's of fice. Last March I went to Washing ton twice, in the interest of Mr. W, BE. Williams, as to the collectorship. The first time we had considerable encouragement. 1 The second time it was some days before I could see Senator Vance When I saw him as to Mr. Williams' claims, he said that Major Dowd "was under some obli gatioos to him, and he was under many to Maior Dowd : that thev had .been law partners, and had been ac4 quaintea ior a long time, and were very intimate friends, and that he must give his influence in favor of Major- Dowd. But,".said he, "your town shall have the office," and asked me if our people would be satisfied I then told him that so far'as I was concerned, I wanted Mr. Williams appointed in preference to anybody else; that I believed that the people would be satisfied if the office were located in the town of Newton. I then expressed some doubts that it might not be done. He said : "It shall be done." I told Mr. Williams the result of the interview. Of course he was disappointed in not being able to receive the support of Senator Vance, but yielded the contest on the ground that the office was to be lo cated at Newton. This arrangement was told to Senator Ransom, and he suggested that the location ought to be fixed before we left Washington j consequently, Mr. Williams wenf with Senator Vance to see Commis sioner Miller, and Senator Vance told him of the "compromise." Mr. Miller? stated that he could not fix the loca4 tion then, but that he could not ! seef any objection to the arrangement Mr. Williams and myself talked with Major Dowd as to the arrangement; and I understood hlra that he would make no opposition to this arrange i ment When we left Washington! the next morning, we felt fully satis fled that this arrangement would be carried out in good faith ; and I have; too much confidence in the integrity of the gentlemen concerned in this matter to think it will not be done; It seems to me that the office ought to be located here, not only on politi cal grounds, but on the grounds at enyenjepce to the distillers and tos naceo manufacturers of the district.: ataay-one may see by looking at the geograpny oi tne country and the raftfoad facilities. !i ' Our large Democratic majorities" haviiaved the State more than once, as the; vote will show; for which, as ft party, the county has received scarcely any recognition for nearly twenty years' hard voting, except a complimentary banner from Senator Vance, for which he shall not be for gotten ! , ln the language of our noble Senator, Let us divide the fodde around. . i M.
