As an illustration of how the Reconstruction
bill 8trikc8 practical men at the South, even
those who w ere prominent in the Rebellion,
and who cherished strong convictions of the
rightfulness of recession, wo may instance a
late letter w ritten by General Chalmers, of
Mississippi, to Ruverdy Johnson, endorsing his
speech in the Senate in favor of this bill. The
General alludes to the early acts of President
Johnson towards the Southern States, evi
dently fully appreciating tho inconsistency
displayed between his present policy and that
which governed him then. He says:
When General Suermin, wltn a magnani
mity which, ever inurus Uie victorious hunt In
the field when dealing witli ii comiuurcd "ton
anuu worthy of hlsHiedl," made term of peace
wlin General .loo Johnston, the 8outh hulled
tlione terms with Joy, and was ready to uceu'pt
them.
Jiut the President said Hint General Sherman
ha no authority to make micli a treaty of
peace, and therefore annulled it.
The President then announced certain terms
of l eacewhieh were very obnoxious to us, re
quiring that we should by our own acts aiiolish
slavery, and dctrraiio ourselves in the eyes of
the world by declaring ttiat ouruets of seces
sion, which we had passed with ureal unani
mity and enthusiasm, were null and void, and
that our fetate Governments were nullities:
and he compelled tis then to receive Provisional
Governors uppoluted by him, and to organise
our Governments anew.
This was very distasteful to us; but we were
conquered we had surrendered uncondition
ally and we accepted these as the terms of
fieuce, not because we desired them, but because
t was the best we could do,
ButCongress said that the President had not
alone (be power to make treaties of peace, aud
therefore they prescribed other terms.
The terras offered by the President were, to
my mind, unconstitutional, and those ottered
by Congress are still more so. We accepted one
lor peace, aud I can sou no sacrltloo of principle
in accepting theljlher. -
These points are well put. According to
the President's own logic, all of his recon
struction work was unconstitutional. The
State Governments that he overthrew were
legal ones, and his entire array of Provisional"
Governors and Governments rested upon no
lasis but that of arbitrary power. If the South
could accept of all this without sacrificing
principle, it certainly can of the Congressional
plan of reconstruction, which at least has the
merit of coming from the law-making power of
the Government, and not from the unlawful
action of the Executive.
Adverting to tho charge that an acceptance
of the Congressional plan of reconstruction
would be "unmanly" the General thus dis
poses of it:
When one man has been overcome and un
armed by another, tho only unmaiiliuess that
could possibly be shown would be by the victor
who would make degrading terms for the con
quered foe.
1 believed firmly in tho doctrine of secession,
and I believe that we did secede, and that
when we wer conquered we were a foreign
nation, and I therefore believe that the United
States have a risht to prescribe new terms If we
should miike a new alliance with her.
Believing this, and knowing that the Presi
dent alone cannot make a treaty of peace with
a foreign Government, I never have believed that
the action of the President in his efforts to recon
struct the Union was right; but 1 gladly supported
him and supported his plan, because It was
more liberal to my people than the Congres
sional plan.
Suoh utterancos as these show that light is
breaking in on the Southern mind. This
Reconstruction bill has operated like a power
ful tonic, and men of brains in the South are
beginning to think and talk practically and
sensibly. No matter what their old views
may have been, they are willing to accept the
logio of events, and to conform to the revo
lution through which tho country has passed.
This is all that we can reasonably ask, and
all such men should be welcomed and treated
with generosity. Those, on the contrary, who
still seek to save the old aristocratic system,
. and rebuild it from the dChris of the Rebellion
those who follow the advice of our Northern
Copperheads should be left out in the cold to
.reflect on the error of their ways, and to feed
upon the bitter fruit of their own planting.
The Fallacy of Rotation in Oilice.
When a young man reaches a certain age, ho
is expected to select what trade or profession
lie intends in after life to pursue, and he is
immediately placed in some position where
he can become thoroughly acquainted with the
duties of his chosen business. Artisans and
mechanics undergo an apprenticeship, and
years are required before they can acquire
sufficient proficiency to be trusted with the
execution of a task. The same is true of a
merchant, a broker, a lawyer, or a doctor. A
special course of training is needed before such
experience can be acqxiired as to merit confi
dence. Especially is this shown in the great
corporations of our day. H a President of a
Tailroad company is removed, the stockholders
select a director, or some
subordinate who is
thoroughly acquainted with the interests and
workings of the road; and a change in the head
of management does not necessitate the re
moval of the old conductors, brakesmen,
,.lrks. aud engineers, and the substitution
nfnw hands in ulaee of old and experienced
officers. The advocates of a theory which
Would lead to the discharge of all the former
servants of the road with every change of the
term of the President, would be set down as
madmen.
Yet the same idea which is ridiculed and
nniinoed by citizens, when their interest
in these stocks is concerned, is openly advo
"fluted when the management ' of the entire
country is at stake. Since the days of Jack
the theory of rotation in office has pre
vailed, and the change of an Administration
i iwd bv a eenral removal of the "ins,"
rout the Cabinet officer down to the letter-
The immediate consequence of the auccesa
THE DAILY , KVKN1KG TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, TinJllSDAY,
or this system is the continual Inundation of
all tho departments of the Government with
new hands, utterly unused to the tasks which
ate allotted to them. They are not fitted
for the duties by expo Hen 00, and Aonsequontly
pot form them very inefficiently, or not at all.
Au example on this point is found in tho
condition of tho Post Office in our city for the
past six months. Delays, losses, mistakes,
and innumerable blunders have been the
order of the day. What is true of tho Post
Office is true of tho Custom House, revenue
offices, and all the intricate machinery of taxa
tion. Millions upon millions of dollars have
been lost to the Government through the pre
valence of this rotation in office, and millions
more will go unless it is abandoned.
Another grave objection to this system
is that it gives the power of unlimited
corruption to the President. I?y means of this
vast patronage he is enabled to reward his
favorites and influence elections, and that the'
power thus confided to him can be aud is used
without scruple, was shown in the elections of
autumn last. In order, therefore, to prevent
any such distribution of spoils, it is necessary
that an entirely new system be called into
vogue. We desire to see the same plan pre
vail here as prevails in Great Britain. There
a man entering a Government office is retained
so long as his behavior is good. The old
clerks are of forty and fifty years' standing, "and
that they have been there so long is cou
sidered a reason for their yet longer con
tinuance, not an argument for their removal.
The change of au Administration does not
affect them. The great struggle for Cabinet
places and national principles does not reach to
the fifteen-hunhred-dollar clerks or the one-thousand-dollar
messengers. . What have they
got to do with reform, or vtphx Democratic or
Republican policies f By the time they have
acquired experience, they are bettor fitted to
perform the duties of their positions than new
hands could be; hence possession is considered
nine-tenths of the law, and they are let alone
a system similar to that provided for in
the recent Civil Service bill. Promotions
are made the same as in the army. Clerks
rise as vacancies above them occur, until they
become Under-Secretaries. Admissions are
made on examination, and the candidates
enter nt the foot of the ladder, and begin
gradually to ascend. By this wise system
the Government always has on hand a
supply of experienced and competent servants,
who thoroughly understand the duties of their
posts, and have no inducements held out to
mingle in the din of party politics. Purity in
the minor officers is secured, and the spoils
not exposed to a series of depredators,
each of whom must be enriched out of the
public purse.
We think that in the course of a few years
the fallacy of rotation in office will be entirely
done away with, aud the same system of
gradual promotions for services be in vogue
lu-re as is in force throughout all the depart
ments of the Government of Great Britain.
The Ritualistic Controversy.
Fortdkately for the peace and prosperity of
the Protestant Episcopal Church of this coun
try, the adherents of Dr. Pusey are compara
tively limited in numbers, and exercise a
paramount influence in a few of the congre
gations of New York city only. But where
their sway is undisputed, they are now making
grand preparations for exercising it in the
most unrestrained fashion. The first days
of Lent are now upon us, and as this is the
most solemn season of all the year, it will wit
ness the introduction not only of the minor
Ritualistic innovations, but likewise the robing
of the chancel in black, the celebration of
midnight services, and the chanting of hymns
which savor strongly of the peculiarities of
the Romish creed. The character of some
of the more glaring of these innovations will
be seen from the description, which we pub
lish elsewhere to-day, of the ceremonies ob
served yesterday morning in St. Albau's
Chapel, the grand centre of the Ritualistic
worship of New York city,
git will be remembered that a week or so
ago a solemn protest against the introduc
tion and continuance of these innovations
was Issued, signed by twenty-eight of the
Bishops of the United States. With these it
is certain tliat Bishop Stovena, of this diocese,
would have united, if he had not been absent
from the country, thus leaving but fifteen who
neglected or refused to co-operate in the anti
ritualistic crusade. The protest in question
was directed mainly against the use of incense,
the burning of lights, reverences to the table
or elements of the Holy Sacrament, and the
wearing of clerical Hire heretofore un
known or materially different from that in
common use, as Innovations which violate the
discipline of the Church, oilend against its
common order, hurt the authority ot the
magistrate, and wound the consciences of the
weak brethren.
On Sunday last the protest was read from
the pulpits of most ot our city cnurcnes,
eliciting the hearty approval of all who lis
tened to it. It is being read in like manner
in the different dioceses throughout the coun
try. Bishop Loo, of Iowa, however, in com
municating the protest of the majority of the
Bishops to the clergymen of his diocese, ac
companies it with a pastoral letter, which we
published in full yesterday afternoon. In this
epistle he takes strong ground against the
innovations, which seem to him to, "degrade
the worship of Almighty God; and i not on
ginated by superstition, certainly tend in that
direction, and are in opposition to the spirit of
the new dispensation, a well as to that of the
reformed Scriptural Church." He strongly
urges the avoidance of everything that is
unusual and extraordinary, as tending to
create a spirit of formalism at variance with
the teachings of Christ and the Apostles.
Aa if to add weight to the protests of the
American Bishops, accounts reach us Just now t
of tho proceedings with reference to these '
"unauthorized innovations" which were re
cently had in the Convocation of the Province
of Canterbury, which embraces the greater
part of the English branch of the Church. In
the House of Bishops, every diocese in the
Province being represented save seven, and six
of the absent bishops being unavoidably de
tained, a resolution was adopted unanimously
which strongly condemned any departure from
the customary ritual, without the sanction of
the bishop of tho diocese being first obtained.
Tin's resolution received the concurrence of
the Lower House of tho Convocation. While
it does not specifically denounoe the new High
Church formalities in suoh strong terras as are
used by the American Bishops, and for such
cogent reasons, it emphatically forbids their
introduction before they are sanctioned and
enjoined by the proper authorities of the
Church, and this is certainly a great point
gained by those who still adhere to the ritual
simplicity aud primitive faith of the early
Church.
The Charge of Senatorial Hribery.
A pew days since we published, editorially,
the substance of the testimony made public
by the House Investigating Committee in re
gard to the New York Custom House. Tho
inference from the report was that Senators
Doolittle and Patterson had each been allotted
$5000. This was stated by witnesses, and
accordingly credited by the Committee. In
justice to both these gentlemen, we give to-day
their remarks in the Senate, in which thoy
emphatically deny that there is a particle of
truth in the evidence. Mr. Doolittle says:
"This charge, whether made direotly or by Im
plication whether MMKlit 10 be sustained by proof
or inuendo is absolutely and unqualifiedly false ;
and, Iron whatever source H comes, 1 pronounce
it a bhse falsehood, a vile and cowardly slander,
and I go further. Mr, and say that lu hun
dreds, and perhnps thousands, of cases in which
during the ten years I have been In this body my re
commendation has been bought and obtained, there
is not a single Instance lu which any kind of pecuniary
consideiutlun ot the value 01 one cent was ever ex-
Kccied 01 received, directly or Indirectly, by me. I
ave yet to nee that man upon this earth who would
dure to look me in the face and make me such m
otter. I pon this unrall other matters. I am ready
to meet the most seiirchhiK scrutity. So much tor
myself, but my duly is not dime; the good name of
my sou has bpon called into iiiesttnn. Upon this sub
ject, ywlrrdiiy morning, I prepared a stutPinent to
Kiihuiil to the .Senate, but as I 11111 told that the testi
mony In not all published, 1 shall therefore withhold
it, Meantime, I will only say, when the truth Is fully
known there will be found nothing to reflect dishonor
upon his character as a soldier or us a citizen."
Mr. Patterson said:
"In looking over the papers I see I am involved in
the same chances that are made against the Senator
from Wisccnsln, that or bavins; reieived live thou
sui d- dollars Iron) Mr. tsinythe. I will dispone of
these question 111 u very few worus. There is no
direct charge made: it is an intended charge. Alt
I have get to sav Is. It is false. False in Its charges,
false in its intentions, lalse 111 Its luueiidoes. I never
received a copper fiora ir. Smvihe. If tbe Senate
will permit me vosuy so, I will say it is false as hell.''
The denial, if not sufficiently chabte, is cer
tainly sufficiently emphatic.

Shall the Law bb Executed ? The Rebels
at Alexandria having set the Reconstruction
bill at defiance in the municipal election just
held in that city, Senator Wilson very pro
perly introduced a joint resolution in tho
Senate yesterday, declaring the municipal
offices in that city vacant, and forbidding any
person to attempt to exercise the authority of
the same, under pain of fine and imprison
ment.
This rs right as far as it goes, but it is the
duty of the President to execute the laws
passed by Congress, and if he fails to do it
Congress must provide a remedy. This issue
is a vital one, and should be met at the very
threshold.. The Reconstruction bill promises
the most happy results if it shall be faithfully
carried cut. The country will not tulerate
any attempt on the part of the President to
defeat its execution.
Cou-ector Smythe Again. Collector Smythe,
of New York, is out with cards, letters, etc.,
denying that he ever made a dollar from the
general order business, directly or indirectly,'
"and ot course never distributed what he
never received." If the Collector's memory is
as treacherous and indistinct now as it was
when he gave his testimony before Mr. llul
btird's Committee, his statements should be
received with great allowance. No man can
read the testimony taken before that Commit
tee, and doubt that Mr. Smythe both received
and "distributed" a large amount of money
that came from the general order business,
cartage, etc. The testimony of his own pri
vate secretary is conclusive upon that point.
General James A. Ekin. We are glad to
see among the confirmations by the Senate
the name of General James A. Ekin, to be
Deputy Quartermaster-General. General Ekin
has discharged the duties of his arduous posi
tion during the entire war with ability and
fidelity. He is an officer of unimpeachable
honor, high worth, and thorough acquaintance
with the intricacies of his department. ' There
could be no selection with greater claim to
merit, and his uniform courtesy aud large
experience eminently fit him for hisrespon-
biuie pusiuou. ' ,
