THE ItfXUItLICAN "APATHY." From the S. Y. Xation. Vi'e nre Laving jnst. now n good donl of (1U curtsion of the condition and prospects of tUe UepuMicnn party, and it ha derived fresh impetus from the result of the late New York lection, wbich, while it revfilod Home rather Btartlicg results in the WHy of fraud on the part of the Democrats, revealed others nearly as startling in the way of "apathy" on the art of the Republicans. The vote of the atter on the judicial ticket was just about half what was cast for Grant in 1808. There has been a falling-off in tho Democratic vote in the State also, but a very much smaller one. All the indications one can get at with regard to the Rtate of feeling in other parts of the country, lead ns to look for somewhat similar displays of indifl'erouce at the coming fall elections. Neither party is much exoitod or interested just now in politics; but, un questionably, whatever energy or activity is to be found in either is to be found amongst the Democrats. Republicans have, there fore, begun to ask themselves with some anxiety how long this is-going to last, and whether there is no means of getting up a revival of enthusiasm, or, at least, of vigi lance, before the next Presidential election. Harper's Weekly, which is perhaps tho most hopeful of the Republican papers which make any claim to independence, in its last number pointed out, by the aid of citations from Democratic articles and speeches, the great danger to the highest interests of the country of allowing the present apathy and dissension to pervade the Republican ranks between now and the choice of the next Pre sident; and in doing so really said nearly everything, as we hinted last week, that eau be said just now by way of justifying the claims of the party to a continuanoe of the popular support. It is, no doubt, quite true that the only legal result of the war which the Democrats have aoceptod with a good grace is emancipation. Of every other they are ready, or at least a considerable portion of them, to get rid if they can; and it is also true that their success in getting rid of them would be a tremendous calamity. But then it is a great mistake, we think, to supposo that they hope all they wish, or that the policy with which they will go before the country in the next campaign will eontain all, or indeed more than a very small part, of their aspira tions. They know perfectly well that to win they must either secure a division of the Re publican party or draw off a considerable number of Republican votes, or frame a plat form that will contain nothing to rouse Re publicans from their present lethargy; and there is not a particle of reason for believing that any Republican has the slightest desira to see anything undone that the war has done by way of legislation, or believes in the pos sibility of undoing it. In fact, if the Demo crats wanted to hit upon a plan of rousing the old war enthusiasm and ensuring their utter and irretrievable defeat, they could not do a better thingthan get up and declare their intention of opening up all the questions which Congress and t he army have, during the last ten years,been engaged in settling, and they know this as well as anybody. They know that the country is sick of the reconstruction business and wants to have done with it, aud that the attempt of the Republican majority in Congress to prolong the controversy over it has, perhaps, injured the party as muoh as anything; that what the people craves is "new issues;" and that, therefore, any party which took the field with nothing better to offer than a bundle of old ones would be beaten before it got into line. The rant of Mr. Richard O Gorman, at the Judiciary Convention, about the need of political judges, and the acceptance by the World of the ring candidates, on which Harpers Weekly comments, are one thing; a platform drawn up by Mr. O'Gorman and the editor of the World for adoption by a national conven tion would be another thing, as we shall soo if they should ever be called on to frame one What has brought the Republican party into its present dilliculties and has made its future look so doubtful, is this tendeucy to rely on the badness of the Democratic party as a sufficient substitute for a positive policy of its own. There could not be a g router mistake. No party, no matter what its past services, can hope to remain longer in power on the ground that it is the less of two evils, or that if it is turned out something dreadful will happen. The country will bear with this for a while; but an attempt is sure to bo made bofore long to discover a middle way out of the diinouity that is, to create a party which, while supplying security, will also supply progress. In other words, if the Re publican partv can do nothing more than keep the Democrats out of ottice, the country will look about for somebody that can keep the Democrats out of office and do a few odd jobs of reform besides. A majority in power cannot confine itself to standing guard over its conquests; it must march aud nia&e . orders. People do not believe that every thing that needs be done to secure the fruits of the war has been done by the three amend ments to t tie constitution, or that the war. besides doing much good, has left behind no evils which need immediate removal. The condition of the currency is an evil; the condition of the public debt is an evil; the weight of taxation is an evil; the state of the civil service is an evil; the tariff is aa evil: and all are evils resulting directly or indi rectly from the war; and tliey affect not only the comiort ana nappiness or every man, woman, and child in the community, but the honor and purity and eflioiency of the Gov ernment. "The revenue or the htate, says Burke, "is the State. In effect, all depend on it. whether for support or for reformation. . . . As all great qualities of mind which operate in public and are not merely suffering and passive require force for their display I had almost said, for the unequivocal exist ence the revenue, which is the spring of all power, becomes in its administration the sphere of every active virtue. . . . Through the revenue alone ean the body politic ever act in its true genius and character, and therefore it will display just as much of its collective virtue, and as mueh of that virtue which may characterize those who move it and are, as it were, its life and guiding principle, as it is poshesBed of a just revenue." The revenue and the mode or raising ana collecting it Lave been during the past winter the two treat questions before Congress, and the majority has totally failed in its attempts to deal with them. The civil service, or the machinery for collecting and disbursing it, it has, indeed, openly refused to touch at all. It Las put forward only one or twe men who Lave shown either the knowledge or the capacity or the eourage to deal with financial b Us which were only prevented from being punful by being ludicrous. Ibe one good (king it baa done for the finanoes the ap- E ointment of Commissioner Wells it is no v alf ashamed of, and will, unless well watched, let him go in July. With regard to the leading foreign ques tions, it has deliberately flung the Ala-ham question into a slough from which we doubt if any man m this generation will see it ex tricated, leaving the individual sufferers to suck their thumbs; and with regard to Cuba, it has taken neither good filibustering ground nor pood local ground, and, while not supporting the Administration, has recoiled from proscribing any change of policy. It has purchased Alaska and then refused to Eurchase St. ThomaR, after the Executive ad struck a bargm'n for it, leaving the world in some doubt as to what its views about ex pansion are. in Rtiort, rno main claim ot tue present Congress to popular gratitude con sists in its greater freedom from corruption than some of its predecessors, in spite of the Eoor element it has received from the South; ut hero again its virtues have been of tho negative order, which in a party in power are only one degree better than vices. V e are sorry to say all this, because wo heartily agree with all that wo hear about the inferiority of the Democratic party; but the country can never bo persuaded very long to content itself with a government which simply refrains from doing evil, aud keeps out worse men; and it in time tho majority in Congress were made to understand clearly that their performances are far from giving satisfaction. Plain speaking on Jthe subject is all the more necessary because a good many of the Republican politicians are just now going about trying to cover up their own shortcomings by saying "that Grant s admin istration is a failure, evidently with a view of making this proposition do duty as an ex planation of the rebuffs the party is meeting with in various parts of the country. What the administration has failed in, except in dis tributing offices to the satisfaction of politi cians, we have never yet hoard explained, and do not expect to Lear. Its great mistake in this, however, has lain in its trying to mix up two totally different principles of seloction- that of merit and party requirements. The result has unquestionably been unfortunate, but small blame to tho l'resident. FUNDING THE DEBT. From tht X. Y. Timts. The Committee of Ways and Means have done the next best thing to totally rejecting the fundiDg proposition, which the Senate sanctioned in a most objectionable shape, by discarding the idea of compulsory conver sion as against tho national banks. They have also refused to sanction the projected system ol foreign agencies, and have limited the new issue ol bonds to a single rate four per cent. This is perhaps the nearest practi cable approach, considering the persistency with which Mr. Boutwell has pushed his favorite scheme, to acquiescence in the course which the Times has from the first maintained. For it cannot ba supposed that a four per cent, bond, notwithstanding its exemption from taxation, has at present the remotest chance of success in the market. No holder of the present six per cents, which are equally free irom taxes, will voluntarily surrender them in exchange for a security yielding two per cent. loss. And neither branch of Congress has given the slightest sanction to coercion as a means to be em ployed for the advancement of tho funding process. In tins respect, a scrupulous re gard has been shown for everything affecting the inviolability ol tho public crodit. lhe desirableness of funding tho debt, at the proper time, is undeniable. The conve nience of the Government and the interests of the tax payers would both bo consulted by the issue ot a single class ot securities at a rate of interest lower than tho present. Upon this point there is no difference of opinion, The debatable question is as to the time and order of the change. Those who favor it as an immediate change are the opponents of reduced taxation. They would keep the bur dens of the people up to tho hi'ih-pressuro mark, in order thut the margin available for the payment of unmatured obligations may bo as Jargo as possible, lhis view exacts, above all other things, a continual diminu tion of a debt not yet due, and the discharge of which is not asked by a single class of creditors. On the other hand, those who sLare the opinions of the 2'ies, urge that funding can. wait, without detriment to the iullic interest; that the relief to be gained y it is not worth the cost which its advocates are prepared to pay for it; that the boat pre liminary to its enactment) is tho adoption of a policy which shall promote the prosperity and contentment of the people; and that no other method will so signally contribute to this result as the largest possible reduction of taxation. "Down with the taxes, is the cry first iu order; in duo time thereafter we shall certainly fund the debt. lhe tardiness with which the Ways and Means Committee have travelled towards this conclusion Las provoked not a little grum bling. Their slowness is, however, in some degree atoned for by the result. They have made a good beginning in the work of re ducing the taxes aud they have so shaped tie Funding bill that we may reasonably Lcpe lor Mill further reduction before Mr, Boutwell enters upon Lis cherished task. The plea that this country should be able to float securities iu Europe, yielding no hip her rate of interest than is paid by .Luro peaii countries, is manifestly uutenable. The "borrowing power of a Government is rega lated as to rate by the rates whuu prevail among its own citizens. A nation who.se own people are coutnit with three or four per cent, interest on their spare capital, may expect to obtain what it wunts at those ratos But in the United States money Is worth much more, and tho authorities at Washing ton must regulate their plans accordingly. The credit they may look for abroad will be measured by the credit they command at home; and the strongest of our financiers have not yet dreamed of issuing or accepting a four per cent. bond. The fact indicates the hopelessness of any effort at present to fund the debt at the rate named, and should recon cile the Treasury to a bill in other particulars diff ering from the policy urged by the Secre tary. The wisest course would now be to drop the subject for the session. PULPITS AT AUCTION. From the K. Y. Triton. Our secular as well as religious readers will doubtless take an interest in a queer dispute that is going on among our English cousins in Parliament, as it aff ords a sufficient index to the state not only of piety but civilization in that little isle. We all know that the duty of conveying the bread of life to perishing souls Las ord manly in Lngland been com mitted to the Lands of the third sons of families among the gentry; the Lord's service beice lucrutive, aud only less respectable In publio esteem than that of the King, for which the second son was destined, or the keeping up the family name and estates, for wLich highest duty the heir was provi dentially bom. Mutters being thus plea santly arranced, no difficulty usually has occurred. When in case the third son failed to be born, the Churoh, with the human beings who came there to know what they should do to be saved, was handed over for instruction to any penniless cousin or stran ger who could quietly pay a quid pro quo for the place. It was expedient that the recipient of the favor should be a gentleman and an agreeable visitor at the Hall; and if no tongue of fire sat upon his head, or rushing, mighty wind from heaven filled the place where he spake, it was rather a cause for congratula tion. Such things doubtless suited Apostolio times, bnt would be rather outre now-a-days, and out of place in a society whose creed, as Emerson says, is "By taste ye are saved." Lately, however, gentlemen with livings in their gift, the incumbents or which were creeping near their graves from old age or disease, have made a practice of ad vertising the sales of next presenta tions in Tlie Ecelcsiantical Gazette, which serves aa the Bishop's official organ, urging young men of means to invest in this manner, grading the price by the probable chanceB of the incumbent s early death, and mentioning also as additional inducements to undertake the service of God at such and such places, and drawing of souls to Christ, the modern conveniences of the parsonage, its nearness to good game preserves or a trout stream on the glebe land. The adver tisements might have been written by Mrs. Jarley herself. "Walk up, gentlemen. The duty's very light and genteel, the company particularly select. Ihere is none of yoar open-air wagrancy here; there is no tarpau lin or sawdust. Remember that the price of admission is only sixpence, and tho opportu nity may never occur again." I Now a certain Mr. Cross in the House of Commons had a vague remembrance of other servants of tho same master, who undertook long ago to preach to hungry souls His glad tidings of great joy. There were no advow sons in that case; no dead men's shoes to wait for; instead of trout streams and packs of hounds, be remembered that they were beaten with rods, they worked in hunger and thirst, in cold and nakedness, until a cross or the stake ended all. Mr. Cross, with these old-fashioned and low-bred notions of Christi anity, has brought in a bill to peremptorily stop the sale of next presentations, as a scao dal to decency and civilization, and has raised a tempest of wrath among tho bishops only equalled by that in the Oecumenical Council the other day when a charitable word was spoken for Urotestants. liHarcU- ctts, luvreticus, omnes damnamus pcutn!" prelates and bishops cry together. Westmin ster sends back a sonorous echo to tho thun ders of Rome. The Butvrday Review settles the question with an amusing complacency. If the prac tice of the English gentry and Christianity diff'er, it has little doubt as to which party ought properly to go under. "These are not Apostolic days, and our clerical coat, it says, "ought to be adapted to our social cloth. The Review then brings the "Church of Christ" up to the bar, and condescends to in struct it as to its proper place in society, very much in the manner of Dogberry with the watch. It is true, it concedes loftily that there are great scandals in tho giving of patronage, but it should be remembered that these matters concorn the nobility and gentry of England. "If Christianity cannot adapt itself to society as it is, it forfeits its imposing claim to be an institution for ail times and conditions of the world. "God's a good man," says Dogberry. "But an two men ride of a horse, one must ride behind." So ludicrous a position in a journal which professes to represent the most cultured and foremost thought in England will astonish and amuse our primitive Ameri can churches. They verge perhaps to the other extreme. Outside of the great city con gregations the laborer in spiritual fields is thought worthy of such exceedingly small hire that it would be better to pay him noth ing at all and give him the credit of working for the glory of God. So low are the average salaries of most clergymen that almost all the churches provide beneficiary funds for superannuated ministers for their widows and orphans, a course which to secular eyes ap pears both nnjust and impolitic. A clercry. man has the same human nature as a lawyer or a blacksmith, and will give his best work w hen free from pecuniary anxiety and con scious that he is to be paid a fair livinor price. acd that neither he nor his children will be ... ... . . . . . . u ' come paupers, 'lhe Jrresbytenan General Assembly last week, among its other good works, set about righting this error in its limits. There is a wide gulf in this matter between the practice of our churches and the English laity, and nothing but sound com mon sense and pure Christianity can bridge it over. THE UNITED STATES IN THE EAST. From tht X. V. World. It is by no means creditable to the Senate that it should not have imposed the check of its authority upon President Grant's trifling with our diplomatio service, by suspending. for a time at least, bis recent appointment of an unknown rennsylvanian attorney to super sede Mr. Morris in the post of American Minister at Constantinople. The name of Mr. McVeigh, son-in-law of Senator Cameron, with whom the l'resident has just been en joying the agreeable sport of trout-fishing, was sent into the benate on baturday morn ing, and on Saturday afternoon Mr. McVeigh was confirmed as our tnvoy near the Sublime Forte. The best thing that can be hoped for now is that, as Mr. MoVeigh is probably ignorant, wo .ill not say of the Semitio tongues only, but of the Western languagss also most in use in the Levant, he may play the compara tivc-ly harmless part of a mute outside of the harem in btamboul. Mr. Brown, the acoom plished dragoman and Secretary of our Lea tion in Turkey, is likely, we presume, to be retained in the post which he has filled so respectably; and while he remains at Constan tinople the United btates Government may at least be saved from getting itself ignorantly and absurdly complicated in the dangerous whirl of Eastern affairs. This is the more to be desired that all things point to the proba bility of early and serious developments in connection with the chronio and feverish "Question of the Orient." We do not attach any particular importance, indeed, to the rumors wtucn reacn us of an impending alliance between Egypt and Russia, for the purpose of finally tearing asunder the empire of the Ottomans. That the Khedive of Egypt is sorely dissatisfied with the apologetio and submissive position in which he was left by the unlucky issue of his attempt to convert the opening of the Suez Canal into an opportunity for achieving a practical independence of his suzerain, the Sultan, is undoubtedly true. Equally true is it that he has for some time past been invit ing into Egypt offioera of various nationali ties, for the double purpose of reorganizing Lis army and of enabling him to shake off the exclusively t renen tutelage nnder which be Las long been laboring. Distinguished Ame rican soldiers, both t ederal and Confederate, Lave thus been called into his servioe. Bat tho Khedive is at this moment aorely in want of money. His agents in Paris and London have just put upon the market a loan in his same of five millions of pounds, which has not been very eagerly taken up; and it is quite as likely, to say the least, that the rumors now current of his warlike co-machinations with Russia have been set afloat for the purpose of "bearing" out of sight this new appeal for funds, as that they really represent any serious diplomatio and military combinations making or to be made. The Russian exche quer, we may add, is not in a much better condition than the Egyptian; while the Turkish Government has not for many years past been so well prepared as it now is to meet hostilities, either in the Black Sea or in the Levant. But not the loss for this will the atmosphere of Constantinople continue to be full of peril for inexperienced American di plomatists, eager to get their fingers into fas cinating jnlnfs of gloro, if not into promising pies of uain. The Levant is now as it was when the word "Levanter" first came into use to designate a scamp who quitted his country for his country's good, a kind of Texas of Europe. Thither flock in all times, and particularly in times so volcanic and troublous as our own, all sorts of ad venturers from all sorts of lands. There the restless diplomacy of Northern and Western Europe is ceaselessly at work seeking to profit by old difficulties or to invent new ones. Now that the importance of the United States is more clearly recognized than it had ever been before, American envoys in Turkey will certainly find themselves exposed to seductions and solicitations which it greatly concerns our national character, if not our national welfare, that they should be able wisely to measure, to understand, and to evade. It is a beautiful illustration, is it not, of the working of popular institutions that a post involving such perils and demanding such qualifications can be tossed over a dinner-table by a trout-fishing Fresidont to his trout-fishing host as carelessly as duke- doiKS and marquisates were lavished of old by kings born in the purple upon the nephews of their ministers or the cousins of their mistresses ? HON. WM. D. KELLEY. From the MinermUle Journal. As the time approaches for the Congres sional nominating conventions to assemble to present candidates at the ensuing fall elec tion, it becomes more apparent that in many districts of the State efforts will be made to name new men as representatives. This de sire for a change is often based upon good and substantial reasons, particularly where members have proved derelict in their duties to the people, but sometimes it arises from no higher or better motive than the ambition of aspiring politicians anxious for the place, assisted by disappointed office-hunters who hope in a new deal to further their own inte rests. When a Representative against whom op position is made is one whose reputation and usefulness are confined to the limits and wants of his own district, it is only a matter of local interest, with which outsiders have little or no right to meddle; but when the man attempted to be stricken down is one whose political record is the property of the whole country, whose labors, talents, and statesmanship are appreciated and valuable to great interests, not confined by the narrow limits of district or even State lines, it be comes not only the right but the duty of independent men and journals to speak out in his defense, and labor to uphold him. This is not only a duty that generosity owes for valuable services rendered in the past, but is a duty that the future demands for important and vital interests that tower above mere personal or individual considera tions. We are led to make these observations in view of a rumored attempt being made to prevent the renomination of Judge Kelley, representing at present the Fourth district of this State. It is very much to be doubted whether the Judge is at all anxious for a renomination iu view of the arduous labors and anxieties of his position. It cannot, however, be doubted for one moment that it would be a very grave error in his constituents, and a very serious loss to the btate and country at large, if he should not be returned t the Forty second Congress. Although Judge Kelley has done as much and perhaps more for his immediate constitu ents than any other of the Congressmen from Pennsylvania, yet his labors are not confined within so narrow a limit. He stands to-day the most thoroughly posted, vigilant, able andiready defender of our great industrial in terests that this State has at Washington, and. indeed, it is to be doubted if any Representa tive from any btate in the lower House is more able to cope in general or detail with the paid defenders of Lntish free trade, whose ability and bribery are the great stum. bring blocks at present in the way of the nation's prosperity. Jndoe Kelley has not only been a consistent advocate and defender of our Republican faith, but has been an ac knowledged leader of the party since its organization. He has sometimes been far in advance, and doubtful councils feared to f ol low him and the lamented Stevens, but in the end the course they marked out has been adopted, and their principles and views are the foundation stones upon which the party rests in triumph to-day. His labors, talents, and fame are the com mon property of the Republican party. To strike him down in the very height of his usefulness would not only be a great folly, but an unpardonable crime. If we narrow the question down to the limits of his own district, who can the Re publicans theretn select to represent them who will combine so much experience, ability, and power to promote their best interests as this gentleman, whose name is a household word in every Bectlon of our country f We have too much faith in tho good sense of the Republicans of the Fourth district to doubt the result. It cannot be that disappointed place hunt ers will Lave power enough to withdraw from the National Councils one whose acknow ledged ability, long experience, and laborious devotron to duty are so valuable at the pre sent juncture on the side of the languishing interests and industries of the country.
