Legislative Corruption.
Thb following communication, In roforenoe to
the ground recently taken by us in regard to
the corruption in the State Legislature and its
remedy, contains a good deal that is true, as
well as a misconception of the steps necessary
to remove the evil:
To the Editor of T7ie Evening Telegraph:
We are now havlnn our annual newspaper
nltackH upon atleluuet LcKlslnture. Judging
Irom the past, tt la aafe to predict that lu
three or four weeks the whole excitement will
be over, and In the coming autumn the men
who are now denounced r corrupt will bo re
turned to Harrlnbtirg without Berloua opposi
tion from the people or the preBs. UurlugHie
next session of the Legislature these men will.
If required, pass eighteen hundred private bills,
for all which they will be well paid, und
next spring the papers will give them the
UBual "blowing up," and then subside for
twelve months. This is Hald In no captious
pirlt, but simply because it is true. Last spring
we bad in substance the same latmMitatlo'iH
over a corrupt Legislature, and yet, when tho
game corrupt men were renominated, not a
paper (so far as the writer kuows) toolt ground,
even timidly, against them.
It is much better to throttle scoundrels who
are about to rob you, than to send paper buU
lets after them us they run away with their
plunder. It Is no easy matter to break up the
corrupt political combinations that now exist.
But it can be done, and the first step Is to
secure the hearty, continuous, and bold co-operation
of the press. The very moment that
the papers of this elty will open their batteries
upon bad men of either party who are nomi
nated, in articles as fearlessly written as the
article in to-day's New York Tribune, on
Legislative Vlllany," rest assured that half
the work Is done. The press very properly con
trols public opinion upon questions of public
Import.
No political convention can be called to
gether, even In these degenerate times, that
would be so reckless as to put In nomination
for any office a man whose nomination, for
reasons stated, was generally opposed by our
city papers. Thousands of us who in politics
agree in nothing, except our desire to see an
able and pure body of men In our legislative
chambers, havo been for years anxiously wait
ing for "the day to break, and there is solid
ground" to fear that we shall die without the
Bight.
It is, indeed, true that the popular indigna
tion which follows the close of a legislative
session almost entirely disappears before the
next election, and that those who are most
indignant in April against bribery and corrup
tion, vote in October for the return of the men
who have at least tolerated iniquity, if noi
participated in it. Our correspondent grows
positively indignant over such fickleness, and
throws all the blame on the newspapers. If,
however, he would think for a moment, we
doubt if he would hold the editors of the city
to blame. What alternative is presented to
the journals of Philadelphia, when we see two
political parties nominate two candidates, each
of whom is equally objectionable ? Between
two political charlatans, the purity of either
of whom we would not trust, what choice is
left but to support the one who pro fesses correct
political principles ? The papers can object
to a man, and point out the evil of sending
liim to Harrisburg. They cannot nominate a
good man, and if they venture to name one
whom they consider fitted for the position, it
k at once ascribed to personal favoritism, if
cot corruption. The responsibility does not
rest with t he papers it is with the people
the people who are indignaut at the course of
the journals, and who throw all the blame on
them, when really it rests entirely on those
who complain. Oar correspondent says that
he, with thousands of others, is waiting the
day of political purity, and asks us when it
will arrive. We return the question, and ask
the same of him and those who think like
him. The reformation will commence just
when the honest voters go to the primary
elections and fight the fight there. It is at the
delegate elections that the battle is decided.
It is there the candidates are selected. Let
the gentlemen who desire reform attend
these meetings, and defeat the objec
tionable candidate, and put a good man
in his place. It must be a very bad man whom
we must go outside of the party to defeat. The
contest for purity must, if possible, be fought
within the party lines. There have been few
instances where the citizens of a party are so
disgusted at the nomination as to elect the
opponent. It is at the delegate elections that
the reformation must commence; and until
the people take the matter in hand, the only
thing the papers can do is to point out the
evils and continue to advise the remedy. This
we will continue to do, but we cannot expect
success until the dissatisfied cease to complain
and begin In good faith to apply the remedy.
Colored Emigrants to Liberia.
It is some time since we heard of the coloniza
tion plan which soma ten years since was ex
citing so much attention. Another solution to
the vexed question of what we should do with
the negro race has been worked out by the
stern course of events. We see that it is
sound policy to receive the blacks as citizens,
and make them become pillars o! the State,
rather than drive them to a foreign sVore. To
uuch, however, as desire to find a home in
Liberia, among their own people, we can see
no objection to the Gratification of thtji
desires.
The company of colored soldiers that left
Philadelphia in December last to settle in
Liberia, reached their new home pleasantly
by the Kdith Rose. Charles A. Harrell, for
merly of Klkton, Md., writes thus:
"I am very happy to say that wordsoaunot de
scribe the good and kind treatment of the people,
and the kind welcome of the Government and
the President. Monrovia Is a fast-growing city.
An for the land of Liberia, in regard to fertility,
u is the best 1 have ever seen. Vegetables are
irnurine the whole year round. Allthecom
Ehiiv are In good spirits. Tell my friends In
Vh ladelphla that if they wish to procure a
good home, as a free gift. Africa Is . the only
place tor them. We now reside at Uoxley
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAM. PHILADELPHIA,' TUESDAY,
right on the FInley road to Oeas Mountain.
Klnleyls very highly spoken of na the most
healthy and best region In Liberia."
A new company of colored soldiers, "Lin
coln Company, No. 2," ia now forming in this
city, with the intention of leaving on tho 1st
of May. The leader waa for two years in a
colored regimont, sharing in the siege of
Vicksburg and the battle of Nashville.
Jons Hum Hoaxrd. As an instance of the
inability of an Knglishman to comprehend a
joke, which peculiarity Sidney Smith said
only belonged to a Scotchman, we notice in
the late London papers an article treating
seriously what is reported to be the maiden
effort of Mr. Morrissey in Congress. They
take for a genuine oration the burlesque
speech invented by Mr. David Scattergood of
this city, aud originally published in "Our
Supper Table Series," and from thence copied
into some of the New York papers as a genuine
oration, and base thereon forebodings of the
result of Americanizing Parliament. Their
summary of tho speech is very funny. Copy
ing the sentences of our "Series liditor" as
being veritably so, they go on to say:
"Mr. Morrissey has been making a most
extraordinary display of himself In the Ameri
can Congrees. As fast ns any deputy spoke tho
pugilist interrupted him with some coarse pro
fessional slang. The House got excited and
angry, whereupon this worthy declared he
wouldn't be 'handed over to any cuss In the
House,' and appealed to the Hpeakor to prevent
him from being 'crowded to the ropes' lu that
manner, lie said he did not care for any rules
of the House, but be would send up to the
Speaker the last number or Jlcll's Life, with tho
rules of the P. H., which he hoped the Clerk
would read, as also the full score of the 'mill'
between the Staley bridge Infant and the lirum
iiiHiiem Chicken. This was too much even for
Congress, and the drunken blackguard was
curried off by the 8ergennt-at-Arms."
A Practical versus a Political Opinion.
It is but a day or two since our Democratic
contemporary had an editorial complain
ing of General Sickles' recent order abolishing
imprisonment for debt, and prescribing cer
tain necessary regulations concerning civil
affairs in his district. How the people to be
be affected by this order regard it may be seen
from the following extract from the Greenville
Enterprise. It says:
"The ndmirable and beneficent regulations
established by Geueral .Sickles will do him last
ing honor. Instead of using his high powers to
oppress, he Is using them for tho protection and
peace of the people. He isdolmc what the legis
lature of South Carolina refused to do. He
shows far more respect for t lie snlieriugaud
diwtress of the country than the majority of the
public men of this State, who, contrary to
manifest Justice and right, wilfully continued
the heathenish law of imprisonment lor clout
in all cases,"
Ay Unexpected Aid. Grave apprehension
has been expressed in certain quarters of the
Republican party, lest the blandishments of
the Democracy should secure the negro vote
in favor of the supporters of the President. To
all who feel anxious we have good news. The
President is about to start on a tour through
out the Southern States. It is anticipated that
he will harangue the people along the route.
Such a course will bring back to the fold any
of the blacks who feel inclined to wander, and
will make a unit of the Republican paity in
the South, the same as it did of the same party
in the North last summer. As soon as the
news is confirmed, all anxiety may be laid to
rest. The President will save the orators of
the North the necessity of canvassing the late
Rebel section.
