10 felting clcfltiiiJli SUPPLEMENT. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1800. TbeUsfl and Abase of Public Patronage. Ik the earlier days of the republic removals from office for opinion's sake were compara tively unknown. The civil service was looked upon very touch as we now look upon the military or the naval service, (rom which re movals are made only for cause. Is he honest? Is he capable ? were the only questions asked In those days of an applicant for office. This state of things prevailed down to Jack son's time, when a new doctrine was intro duced. "To the victors belong the spoils" was the political cry which then, for the first time, was heard. It has since become a set tled maxim of action with all parties; and whether really good or bad in Its effects, there is no present probability of its being abro gated. It has come to be settled that when ever a party triumphs at the polls, it has a right to fill all the offices of the Government with its friends. The popular verdict Is held to imply that the offices Bhall be given to the political party which, under the forms of the Constitution, the people have just invested with power . So, whenever, at a general elec tion, a change is made In the political com plexion of the country, the defeated party retires gracefully from office, and the success ful party quietly steps into power. There Is no proscription In this . It is a settled rule of political action, common to all parties, and well understood when men lake office. They ally themselves with whichever party they choose, and then they take their chances with the party. Removals from office are, then, merely incident to a change in ad ministration In accordance with the verdict of the people. The fortunate recipient ot an office under the new regime is merely reaping an incidental advantage from the triumph of his party. Removals and appointments are made, not with a view to affecting public opinion, but merely of conforming to it ; not as a price to induce men to change their political relations, but merely as the legiti mate reward of their previous party associa tion; not with a view of modifying the domi nant public sentiment, but of yielding obe dience to it. This is the proper, legitimate, and sanctioned rule of political acion in this country with reference to the disposal ot public offices, as carried out by all parties for the last thirty years. But we are now witnessing the inaugura tion of a very different scheme, and one most corrupting in its tendencies and most degrad ing in its influences. We are beholding the patronage of the general Government used, not in conformity with the dominant senti ment of the country, but in defiance of it; not as the incident of party triumph, but as the instrument of creating a false and fac tious public opinion; not as a means of carry ing out the popular will, but as a device for overriding it; not in obedience to any change in the dominancy of parties, but as the corrupt means for creating such a change. By all the recognized rules of party action in our country, the Republican party is entitled to fill the offices of the general Gov ernment. It has tiiumphed at the polls. Its sentiments are endorsed by the peopl?. It is the dominant political power. Yet In defiance of these facts, we find Republicans daily removed from office, and their places filled with Democrats. This Is proscription for opinion's sake. It is political treachery, for it is the use of political patronage against the Republican party by those whom that party has elevated to power. When, therefore, R3publicans complain of their removal from office, they do so not from any Improper or unusual love of office, but because they are deprived of that to which, by all the settled rules of political action in this country, they are justly enti tled. Had James Buchanan, when elected President by the Democratic party in 1850, immediately commenced the removal of those who had supported him, filling their places with Republicans who had supported his competitor, John C. Fremont, we should have had a case parallel in its mam features to that now existing. But it is not merely nor mainly as a measure of Injustice and treacheiy to the Republican party that we complain of the present use of public patronage. It comprehends a graver evil. It is the use of patronage as a direct means of controlling votes and cairying elec tions that we denounce. What is the differ ence, morally, between offering a man a cer tain sum of money for his vote and influence, or offering nim an omce worth that amount of money to him ? Each has in it ths essence of bribery. Each is a corrupt and mercenary means of controlling the mans political ption. Yet bribery we denounce as one of the meanest and most dishonorable of crimes. This is altogether a different case, as we have just shown, irom that of changes in office in duced bv a revolution of public sentiment among tne people, and authoritatively ex pressed at the polls. Offices are then dlstrl buted to the members of the victorious party, not as bribes to purchase their votes, not as the meanB of making them act politically contrary to their real convictions, but as the incidental results of the triumph ot certain political principles represented by the sue cesaful party. But In the case in hand men ore not letf to vote and act primarily from tholr honeit political convlctlons.but they are treated as so much purchasable property. They are to vote a certain ticket as the prlc3 of em ployment in a navy yard, or mint, or post office. The office or employment is the con ulderation. the vote, or nartv euDDort. is the equivalent. The element ot bargain and sale THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH TUU'LK SHEET. pervades and gives character to the entire transaction. , It Is not necoftsary to seek words ot denun ciation for such a wrong as this. Every un conuptcd mind feels at once the infamy ana deoradatlon it Involves, and can see the dis astrous influence it Is calculated to exort upon the country. Fortunately, the public mina recoils from It with a healthy horror, as yet? iuin Influence of sucu a course of political action, ij persisted In, is so treat, that it should be resisted on tta thresh- pilau, , , or a nan mm- ii ii ii iiim uijiiiviwiu" old, and with all the lorce we can corn- Agriculture in the Mining Regions of - the West. Tn e agi icultural prod uc ti veness of some of our mining regions is quite as wondertul as their opulence in the precious metals. Thus we see it stated that a single county in Califor nia has this year produced a sufficient quan tity of grain to supply the annual consump tion of the entire State. The statement may bo an exaegeration, but it is no longer a mat ter of doubt that the valleys of California are fertile in the highest degree. And not only does the soil produce grain abundantly, but it also grows the choicest of fruits. The grape, especially, is becoming a source of great wealth to California, and its growth and manufacture bid fair to open a wide and most lucrative field to the energetic and intelligent cultivator. It is also said that Colorado, which used to draw every pound of flour used by her In habitants from the Missouri river, a distance of from six hundred to eight hundred miles with ox and mule teams, has this year raised grain enough tor her own consumption. In Montana, too, the valleys are extremely fertile, and fully capable ot supplying most of the necessities of the inhabitants as soon as the hand of cultivation shall develop their re sources. These facts have an important bearing upon the future prosperity of our mining regions. The cost of living has hitherto been one of the greatest obstacles in the way of a remunerative prosecution ot the business of mining lor the precious metals in the Western Territories. Where living is costly, wags must necessarily be high. But If our mining districts can become even partially self-supplying, labor will becoma cheap, and many mines wnich now Will not pay for the work ing will then yield a fair income, while those which are now lemunerative will become much more so. The precious metals are not like ordinary commodities, for they have the entire world lor their market, and there is no danger of an over-supply. The cost ot production may be cheapened, and yet the product remain as valuable as ever. Hence, every dollar of expense saved in the mining and reduction of gold and silver ores is a clear profit to the business . Tie establishment of agriculture in our mining regions thus becomes a matter ot great interest and importance. We have no doubt that it is yet to become a powerful agent in stimulating the production of the Erecious metals. In connection with the uilding of the Pacific Riilroad, it will put a new phase upon this already important national interest . A Withe to lie Ilroltcu. From the Independent.

If the re sponsibility is momentous, the opportunity is iflusmousi. Having no enemy but itself, the Republican party has now nothing to fear but us own cowardice or loiiy. laice an outer par ties, It lacks neither cowards nor fools. Its coard9 are those who have courage enough to Mow a multitude, but not courage enouch to lollow a principle. Its fools are such as those w iiora uiinst tieserioeci as "oiow oi iieart to believe."

Lincoln's f reclama tion ot Emancipation. Jqual ami exact Instice is now tne dictate ootn or conscience and com mon aense. Here and there a stray Republican convention has undertaken to say that if the Southern States shall ratify the pending Constitutional amendment, 'they shall then, without further condition, be readmitted to Congress. But this pledge does not Dind uonpress. For instance, what power had the late Republican conven tion ut S.vracuso to pass resolutions binding Thaddeus Stevens and Charles Sumner? Or does '.any one Biippoxe that General Butler is now taking the trouble to cet elected i tho Fortieth Cobsrress lor the slnmle Bake of ioin. ing in au invitation to the New Orleans riot ers to be readmitted on Ihe basis of the pend ing amendment?

There would be a frolic at the White House over pucn a de'eat ot ineiaoicols. It 1mparfi.il suf frage be not exacted nex winter, then the fair fame ot the Thirty-ninth Congrops will lanse from partial into total eclipse.
