The hum of industry is heard everywhere. The people are not taking much interest in politics beyond rejoicing over the return of the democracy to power.

MOODY'S the course-of one of bis sermons iu Richmond on Sunday Mr. Moody said tbftt be had understood that some of the brethren iu Richmond had something against him; that be had been reported as having abused Lee and Jackson, two men greatly beloved in the South.

He desired to say (hat that repofb was incorrect; tbat neither in New York nor at any other time or place had he ever done auything of the sort. His sermons had all been hteuograpbically report ed, and were accessible. He defied to iiud auything of the sort in any of his utterances. He thought the proof of the incorrectness of the report was that he went from New York "straight to Augusta, Ga where he would not have bad the coidial response which they gave him iu Augusta if ho bad been guilty of any such out rage ou their feelings. As an emphatic proof that be could not have used the words attributed to him he said be bad always cherished for Lee and Jackson the highest respect, and he asserted that it was morally impossible for him to have said anything derogatory of their character.

Even during the war, while a Northern man in his sympathies aud feelings, he had always looked upon Lee and Jackson as not only great military men, but men of the highest Christian character, lie bud frequently spoken of them in that way both privately aud publicly. But notwithstanding this, be wanted to say tbat if he had ever said anything to offend any of bis brethien in this latitude be would in tbe most unreserved manner apologize lor it and ask their lorgiveness. He wanted to get all obstacles out of the way po that, with united hearts and bands, wo might enter on this work. When Mr. Moody uttered these sentiments there was involuntary applause on tbe part of some in the audence.

The applause was promptly checked. Mr. who wrote the tirst letter charging Mr. Moody with aspersing tbe character of Lee and Jacksoo, in a communication to the State says: "I have no apology to offer for my letter of the 2Lst ultimo, as I told truth, and still reiterate that the illus tration spoken of therein was drawn by Mr. Moody, and the names mentioned therein were used in that illustration as stated in my article.

I know that it is very possible for one to be mistakeu, but my under-! standing of the illustration was iu harmony with that of Mrs. Mary Stuart Smith, who published the facts, as she understood them, to the world over her own signature in the Religious Herald of May 11th, 1876, and if their correctness has ever been questioned I am not aware of it. I felt the illustration a great and cruel wrong, and it lived like a canker worm in my very soul from tbat hour till now. Lee and Jackson are names dear to my beart, and a word against them wherever heard, or by whomsoever spoken, will ever be resented by me with every power that is within me regardless of consequences. But as I have just been informed that Mr.

Moody has done all that a brave man and Christiau gentleman cau, after perpetrating a wrong, I say truly that uow I entertain no unkindly feelings towards him, aud sincerely hope one and all may fully and freely grant him the pardon he has asked at your bands." Frozen to Death. Denver, Jan. miner named John Hunt was found frozen to death last night near Villa Grove. In the early part of the evening Hunt left the mine in which he and two companions were working to go to ft friend's cabin, four hundred yards down the for tobacco. During his absence a severe snow and wind storm set in, obliterating the trail.

On returning he evidently lo9t bis way and perished before assistance arrived. He leaves a wife and family at Henry, in this State. Cold Weather and Suffering. Lawrence, Jan. cold weather has caused much suffering among the poor classes in most of the large cities of this State, especially among colored peo-' pie, many of whom have recently come from the South and are destitute.

In Topeka there are over 700 people receiving aid, and of these 600 are colored. It is estimated! that if the cold weather continues a month longer at least 3,000 people in Shawnee county will be compelled to ask aid of he authorities. DEPARTMENT CLEBKS. To the editor of the AI exan The alleged democratic ptess are uow greatly perplexed for fear thai the ia the Departments here may heremoved from office. They advocate a life aristocracy of Ninety per cent, of clerks here been appointed duri'tfg the last twentyfour years (not under the civil service rules) by republicans for political service renderi ed.

The republicans have always takeu I good care of their friends. It is claimed by certain democrats thai to remove these experienced clerks and fill their places with capable and houest democrats would work ao injury to the publicservice and the democratic party. The truth is, a large number of these clerks, like their late rejected candidate for President, have had too much experience. The most of the jobbery perpetrated fry outside rings has been doue through the subordinates in office. The heads of departments and bureaus, as a rule, merely attach their signatures to decisions and accounts adjusted by their clerks.

The only way to thoroughly reform the civil service is with broom." Some discrimination might be exercised, of course, in favor of honesty faithful and non partisan clerks. The majority of the subordinates here, in utter disregard of the civil service law, went into the political tight during the last campaign, aud worked like beavers in various ways for their candidate, with ihe expectation that, if they lost the battle they would be removed. No great ability or experience is required to fill these miuor offices. A clerk capable ol keeping books by single entry in a couutry store would be competent to Gil most of these clerkships paying from $1200 to $1SOO per year, Ct-r tain forms are used, aud it is all pretty much machine work, which can be acquired by on intelligent clerk in a very short time. The democratic party have been paying taxes for the support of this army of republican officeholders for the last twentylour years, and would it not be manifestly unfair that they should continue to "hold the fort" now that the democracy have won Who have the better right to them, our frieudsor our enemies? Three-fourths of the clerks were changed at the commencement of republican rule, in 1861.

The public service would be benefit ted aud the democratic narLv strung by a pretty general chance. Democrat. Wasii iNftTON, n. Jan. Gen.

Grant's Americans cannot help a feeling of shame as they read about General Grant and the efforts that are being made by his friends and admirers to again lift him out of the fi nancial slough into which his weaknessand ignorance have cast bim. Millionaire Vanderbilt loaued to Grant's name, not to the man, $150,000, which the peneral wanted to help carry his bank, through which his brilliant partner Ward was swindling the pub lie at the rate of a million dollars a mouth. Now Vanderbilt wants his money, and has bad an inventory taken of all the general's property, with the view to having the she iiff sell'to satisfy the. judgment which is for something like $100,000. To save his prop erty, his swords, decoratious aud presents, the general's friends are actively exerting themselves to raise money, and probably before the time for the i-ale the amount will be made up aud paid over, and Grant be again relieved from the dis tress into which his want, of judgment has thrown him.

General Grant has been honored rewarded as no other American has ever been he has been elevated and applauded hy a grateful and enthusiastic peo pie aud yet he persists in being low aud in doing things which a self-respecting person would not do, and which one iu his position should be very careful to avoid. His course is humiliating to the American people, who did all in their power to make a demi god of the man, but who in spite ol them persists iu beiug low, vulgar and deciedly common-place. Were Grant's property to be sold out under au execution, it would be a reilectiou upon the country, aud yet the country has beeu recklessly if not disgustingly generous to him if his swords and badges aud pictures and presents that have been showered upon him at borne and abroad, were to be knocked dowu to the highest bidder by the sheriff, where is the American citizen who would not feel a sense of shame? And still Grant has no right, whatever generous construction may be put upou bis services to the country, to expect for better treatment than he has received. It is hoped that Drexel, Beale, and other admirers of Grant will satisfy the Vanderbilt judgraeut, and save the country the spectacle of seeing the man who has beeu houored and rewarded above all others by his countrymen, a degraded pauper. These men can afford to take from their millious, aud their generosity may help to keep up the delusion in regard to the general until he passes off his stage of action, and ceases to be a burden upon friends.

It might be suggested in this connection that a guardian be appointed for him were it not for the fact that he has imposed upon friends and the public so long, tha' it is not likely that he can accomplish further Lake Herald. Sweet Hoblitzell, of Maryland, was the only man on the floor of the House yesterday whose desk displayed a product of the florist's skill, and bis was literally covered with au immense harp of violets, roses and ferns. The harp was very fragraut aud beautiful, but its sudden removal from the House is explained by the Critic as follows: "For a short time Mr. Hoblitzell was very proud of his possession. It was beautiful, deliciously aud attracted attention.

But his contentment was short-lived. Members began to come closer. They looked for the card that generally accompauies floral offerings. That card was tucked away aud almost hidden among roses and violets. It was brought to light by Mr.

Cox, of New York. It bore these simple words, 'From That was enough for Mr. Cox. He soon bad a crowd around Mr. Hoblilzell.

Mr. Cox wanted to know who 'Violet' was. Mr. Hoblitzell denied all acquaintance with and said he believed the harp was for Mr. Cox.

Hob litzell got warm. He theu got warmer. Mr. Cox, of New York, began to hum softly 'Sweet violets, sweeter than all the and Representatives Bland, Broadbead, Barksdale and Hardeman joined in the chorus. Mr.

Hoblitzell could stand it no longer. He seut for a page. The harp was taken to a cloak-room." Mr. Tucker introduced a bill iu the House of Representatives yesterday to increase the number of judges Tor the courts of the United States. It provides that the President shall appoint three additional judges for the Secoud.

18S3. SENATE. Tbe chair laid before the Senate a communication from the Attorney General urging that a sufficient appropriation he made to enable the Government to properly defend suits against the United Slittes in the Court of Claims. It was referred to the Committee on Appropriations. A number of other bills, were disposed of, after which the Senate proceeded to consideration of the Oregon Ceutral land forfeiture bill.

HOUSE. The speaker laid before the House a message from the President transmitting tbe supplementary report of the gun foundry board, which was referred also a message from the President transmitting a communication from the Secretary of the Interior enclosing certain papers in relation to the present condition of the Cheyenne and Arrapahoe Iudians, and recommending that some provision of law be enacted for disarming these Indiana, and compensating them for the weapons taken from them, which was referred. Mr. Ellis, of Louisiana, from the Committee on Appropriations, reported a joint resolution for the support of certain destitute Indians iu Mou tana Territory, which was passed. The House then, at 12 2o, went into Committee of the Whole on the Pension appropriation bill.

Vice-President-elect Hendricks. Chicago, Jan. an interview here to-day Vice-Presidentelect Hendricks, speaking of the recent campaign, said was tKut fhc proper mode of conducting.a Presidential contest was to discuss the political issues involved, aud not make an attack ou the Presidential nominees. He was not fully prepared to admit that the attack on General Garfield's conned iou with the DeGolyer contracts benefitted the republican nominee for President in 1SS0, as he claimed that the main fight ou Garfield was on accouut of the lat tor's connection with the electoral commission of 1876, and was therefore a political issue and a proper subject for discussion. Mr.

Hendricks alluded to the excitement tending tbe recent election of the democratic ticket, and said that for a short time after election day he believed a second protracted struggle, like that of 1S7G, was iu store for him. "It's very unpleasant, I cau assure you," cootiuued the Vice Presi dent-elect. "This is'the fourth time that an election iu which 1 was a candidate has been so close that both sides claimed it until the official count was declared." While nol admitting that he was in the least posted on the members of Presidentelect Cleveland's Cabinet, Governor Hendricks he believed that the Southern States should be represented among the President's advisers. He had received letters from Southern gentlemen who had suggested the propriety of leaviug out the South in the selection of the Cabinet. To these epistles be had replied, and iu his replies he had expressed tbe opinion that such a course would be a virtual admission that the statesmen of the South were not qualified for Cabinet positions, an admission that was wholly uuwarranted.

Mr. Hendricks laughed over the current report that bis meeting with Gov. Cleveland had not been of the must pleasant character. He said he had no intention of interfering with any of the President's purposes, political or otherwise. Mr.

Cleveland, be had regarded as a most decided character, but this impression was gained more from his reord as Governor of NewYork, than from personal interviews. Inferring to the President's elect letter on the civil service law, the Vice-President elect said that the removal of the partisan otiice holders (and of fensive partisanship is given as a cause for removal by Governor Cleveland) would satisfy the democrats and keep the President hnsy for some time in filling vacancies. Mr. Hendricks thought that Mr. Blaine had made a mistake in dismissing his libel suit against the Indianapolis Senti nel on the ground that he could not secuie justice at the hands of a jury in Indiana.

He claimed that it would have been better if the case had been dismissed without such reflections on the people of Indiana. Gov. Hendricks says, referring to his future movements, that he will not break up his home in Indiauapolis and remove to Washinglon; bis duties as Vice President did not. demaud that sacrifice. He would probably take rooms at some Washington hotel, remaining there about a month or duriug the special session of the Seuate.

At tbe long session, commencing iu December, he would possibly lake a house and set up housekeeping. He will remain in Chicago until this evening or to-morrow morning, attending to some private business, returning home in time to attend the session of the State legislature. President-elect Cleveland's Cabinet. Chicago, Jau. an interview yesterday Judge 0.

A. Locbrane, well known as general counsel for the Pullman Palace Car reference was made to the Judge's recent call upon Gov. Cleveland, and the following question was asked "Has the President elect made any cabinet selec tiouf?" "He basn'tdecided upon a single man that any one knows of. His warmest friend to-day cannot Fay what he is going to do. Of course, from my hour's interview with him, I can only judge of his policy, not of hia preferences.

But," and Judge Locbrane smiled grimly and significantly, "if I were to venture an opinion I "should say that I don't tbink there will he any brigadier generals in the Cabinet." "You ar.j reported to have resigned your position counsel of the Pullman company," suggest etl the interviewer. Ia reply Judge Lochmue did not deny the assertion. He explained that he had held the highest with the company, hut that be wanted rest, and that circumstances were such that he did not need to continue in the position he had held, which be, however, remarked, was far more lucrative tbau a cabjiuet position. Judge Locbrane made no positive expression of his ambition for the Cabiuet, but the inference, as stated by the interviewer, is easy. 1 The New York Legislature-Resignation of GovCleveland.
