In private life, while arbitrary and dictorial, he cherished domestic affet tion in an almost womanly degree ; was constant and loyal to his friends, permitting no disparagement of them in his presence, admitting no faults, striking, when necessary, the first blow in their defense, and tenderly cherish ing to, the day of his death the memory of those who had gone before him. Gratful for the simplest j act of kindness from others, his own gener osity aud oid-fashioned instinct of 1 hospitality knew no limit, and his sense of fealty to his own and his wifes family led to much self-sacrifice in a character of which it-was by no means a leading feature. To his slaves and the colored race before and after the war, foe proved a kind and beneficent master and patron, and his old retain ers manifested sincere grief for his loss and gave devoted attention to nim id his last long and painful illness. . In basinvss relations,1 his unqualifi ed integrity and uprightness rendered his word as good as his bond.1 and in dealiag with his fellow men his liber ality inclined him ever to lenience to wards the unfortunate. jfi Socially, liis perfect and ntter fear lessness commanded universal respect; yet "there were none so poor lie could not do tbem reverence," for his was the pride, not of the autocrat and laud owner, but of the , gentlemen .l ! Honored for his many virtues and really aoble traits of character, he leaves ia many fond and grcatful heart the impress of his deeds of love and kindneJ in the days that are past, and in none deep tnan in one whojv in the fttllbese of sincere grief for jhis loss, has peaned these lines in tribute to his memory. - Akbia.

" Ethelonte, From Waftliinstoit City. 4P Washington, Sept. 7th 1881. re is a growing demand for an- vestigation in con neiction with ifxjrvdie time, and esneciallv dnnn? dally papers have contained advertise ments for positions under tboGovem ment, the advertiser agreeing to "pay $100 or $200, more or 'less, for the ap pointment, aud" a percentage of salary as long as employed. Some issues j of certain newspapers contain two i or ,threeof these adveitisements. Here is a specimen clipped from the; last tvening'8 Start1 v HI WANTED $100 cash and ten per- mm . cent oi salary win oe paid lor a ' posi tion in any of the Departments. Ad dress in confidence, 'Quiet' this office From the fieri ueiicy with which'su6M advertisements appearand t lie contin ued use of this method it is evident that they are sometimes, perhaps, al ways succesiful. ' Senator Plumh - Ji) luded to this state of things on the floor of the Senate, just before 'a jour n men t last session, and from tile manner iu which his remarks were re ceived it may be regarded probable that something will be done about the matter Jnext session. There certainly should jbe an investigation. It would be interesting to. know who the'indj yidualaaro that carry on a brokerage in Government positions- and, what a cili ties they have for doing it success fully. Those who have made the.' ef fort in j a legitimate vray know 'hcw hard it is to obtain appointment. .ew who apply have the persistence to pur suo their application s.td the end. The majority become weary, heart icfcd discouraged after months of Vaiting, and give it vp in disgust. But these brokers are said to do their business very promptly. Of course it would not be possible to carry this sort of thisg on to any extent without having c(n federates on the inside, aud it becomes a subject worthy of attention to find out how many of the Depaitments have chief clerks, heads of Bureaus, Or t ' , other .officers who ara dispensing posi tiont for pay. If some action is not taken by theproper authorities lyqur corresponden t wiU some of these days undertake to get at the .bottom of Kit for the benefit of the public A i . The country generally appeara.td-be well satisfied with Secretary's Wis dom's financial policy -and with tie general management olt the Treasuv Department under him! h While !coli gratulating the Secretary upon Vi success I want to exnrssthe hnmble opinion that he would do an excellent ;n k MmAmW ir,.f u -vf rrn r;nt rv ApTwintment Clerk IuiiDhere. in con- Lt the office was uot disposed of iu a very satiifactory mauner.

Whatever point it will Sd " the conclusion on this be prettv generally ad mitted among those who are acquaint ed with the facts, that Assistant Secre taries Upton and French ought to be removed. To put it mote delicately; they should both be intited to resign. Mr. Upton is considerable of a politi- biau, but he has not made a very good omeer. lieiore nis promotion to the position of Assistant Secretary he was Chief Clerk, nd the irregularities Charged in connection with purchases date back to and arc said to have be gun .under his administration -of that office. Assistant Secretary Frtrm;h is an insolent bureaucrat, with n vap:ic ity yhatever for the delicate ilnties of his office, which are to unsf niL the revenue laws. .Merchantsand import ers whoso business bus brought tiu-m in conniact with him almost unaiii- mouily complain of the treatuteiitJ'the bore a-ocei ved ut h u - bauds: .1 le dn i - i- a- - ... eVen gone so far as to prononnc tha it is official dntv to constrno tin; laws go that they shall con form to his own preconceived notions of what they ought to be.

Kot withsnudmg " the decisions agoinsi him he ronews his rulings in uverv case and comjxjls every importer tore sort to legal process. His removal has long! been demanded by the commer cial interests of the conntiy and it is a blot on Secretary Slierinan's adminis tratibn thas Fiench was not diwuissed. This may sound a little like unneces sary (faultfinding to easy going people at a distance, but I mutt free my mind once in a while, and like a great man whose tomb recently visited down the river, I cannot tell a lie. From the "cave of gloom" in. which the Capital was thrown by the late tin favoroble turn in the President's case, we have during the last few davs ex perienced a happy change. There is now a strong feeling of hopefulness and a prevailing belief that the worst has been passed. But the telegraph no doubt keeps you better posted than I could hope to do by mail.
