It was observed during the great Free State and pro-slavery straggle in the Territory of Kansas, that nearly every Governor in turn, aa he went there, no matter what Lis previous political sentiments had been, was forced to espouse the Fr-o tftate side, even at the penalty Of removal from ofiice. Poor Fierce started Out liy appointing the late Governor Reeder, a man of fine abilities and of honest im pulses, but always, previous to his Kansa3 experience, a Democrat of the straitest sect. Governor Reeder went to Kansas, and endea vored to administer its affairs upon an honest nd just basis. The result was, that the outrages of the pro-slavery party, their inva Bions from Missouri, their wholesale stuffing of the ballot-boxes, and their general disregard of the rights of the Free State settlers, all per petrated in the name of "Democracy," com petted the Governor, as a faithful officer and A3 an honest man, to side with the Free State ' party. For this poor Fierce at once removed him. Governor Geary was tried. He, too, had been a life-long Democrat. He, too, was an honest man. He found, upon his arrival in Kansas, and becoming acquainted with its affairs, that an honest discharge of his duties as Governor would array against him the Democratic or pre-slavery party of the Terri tory. He went ahead, administered the gov ernment justly and impartially, called down upon himself the bitter hostility of the pro Blavery faction, who attempted to assassinate him, was refused support by the Fierce ad ministration, and forced to resign. The Buchanan dynasty, of ever infamous memory, next came in; and with a great flourish of trumpets, and much formal parade, Robert J. Walker, ex-Senator and Secretary of the Treasury, was sent to Kansas as Gov ernor, accompanied by Frederick P. Stanton, of Tennessee, as Secretary of the Territory. Both of these men were life-long Democrats, and had achieved honorable distinction in their party. They went to Kansas, and plunged boldly into the struggle. They bat tled manfully, but before one year was up they had each been forced by the logic of events to espouse the Free State side, or else to them selves become the instruments of injustice and infamy, such as they could not for a moment contemplate. The result was that Walker resigned and Secretary Stanton was removed. It was not until the attempt to make Kansas a slave State was finally and fully abandoned, that it was found possible for a Democratic ad ministration to keep a Governor there more than a few months at a time. Andrew Johnson, if he were capable of learning anything, might learn a valuable leBSon from recalling this peculiar feature of the Kansas struggle. He is trying to head off events in the South in the same way that poor Pierce and Buchanan did in Kansas, and with a similar result. Why is it that every officer of the army, no matter what his pre vious sentiments, as soon as he goe3 into the late Rebel States and endeavors to do his duty as an officer of the Government, at onoe becomes a firm supporter of the policy of Con gress, and an opponent of the unconstitutional and usurping policy of the President ? These officers are not politicians. By education and association they are generally inclined to be opposed to the Republican party. Why Is it that they find themselves forced to adopt the policy of Congress f General Sheridan is removed, and his successor continues all of his orders in force. General Sickles is removed, and his successor, General Canby, finds it' necessary to follow in his footsteps, and has already in curred the Executive disfavor, and is threat ened with removal. The game of the Kansas Governors is being repeated. The President can arbitrarily and unjustly remove gallant oflioers who have simply done their duty, but he cannot change the circumstances which sur round the question of reconstruction, and which force every honest officer to take the side of the people's policy as opposed to tha President's. Just as the logic of events an l the power of truth and justice ooinpelled Reeder, and Geary, and Walker, and Stanton, Democrats though they were, to take the Free State side in Kansas, as opposed to Pierce and Buchanan, so the same considerations now force lerldan and Sickles, Pope and Thomas, Schofield and Canby, to take the side of loyalty and Union and the people, as opposed to that Of Andrew Johnson. Just as poor Pierce was angry with Reeder and removed him because he told the truth in regard to the terrible crimes and outrages perpetrated by the border ruffians in Kansas, so Johnson was filled with rage at the noble Sheridan because he refused the Executive invitation te garble and lie, and told the naked and appalling truth conceiving the horrors of the Piew Orleans massaure. Pierce and Buchanan failed. Their adminis trations are monuments of shame and disgrace, and their very names have become infamous So will H be with Andrew Johnson, only that in addition to all his deeds 0f maladministra tion, he will carry with him the disgrace of treachery to a great and good cause, and to the people who elevated him to power. His com panionship on the roll of fame must be the name of Judas and Benedict Arnold ! Who Shall be our Next City Treasurer t Thr position of City Treasurer is at onoe a re sponsible and an arduous one, and requires not only ability, but due familiarity with the details of the offioe not only honesty, but also an intimate knowledge of the routine of duties, without which any novice will greatly incommode the workings of the complex sys tem of warrant payments. Recognizing that those qualities were essential, the Republican Convention nominated Mr. David Jones, for many years Chief Clerk of the Treasurer, and who is thoroughly familiar with all the work ings of the office, and with the condition of the city finances. He is as honest as man can be; he is as faithful as we could desire; he is courteous and able, and possesses all the requiBiles for the delicate post. With these qualifications are combined a love of our city, and a thorough identification with her inte rests which render him peculiarly fitted to guide her finances; for, with all the other requisites, a candidate would be as nothing did he not have a love of Philadelphia and a desire to see her rise in greatness, increase in prosperity, and be clear of debt, by means of her additional resources. In opposition to Mr. Jones is Mr. Joseph N. Peirsoi. Now all that recommends Mr. Jones for the office is wanting in Mr. Peirsoi. He hs had no ex perience in that position. If elected he comes a novice into a new office, and with a new set of assistants incommodes all who have deal ings with him, until all its machinery g-jts into working order. There is no doubt of his honesty, but he lacks another grand requisite the grand tequisitt for the ofiice. He thinks first of Mr. Joseph N. Peir soi, and secondly of the city of Philadelphia. Mr. Peirsoi is ready, and has been ready for years, to saorifice the great interests of our city for either personal ends or else for sheer malice. What would be thought of a Phila delphian, and one, too, who now asks to be put at the head of our finances, if he had tried to prevent our getting the Navy Yard at League Island, and gone out of his way to write to an entire stranger, in order that the plan which was to do so much good to his native city should he defeated ? Yet this is what Mr. Peirsoi has done. We give his letter, written five years ago to a United States Senator on the subject. We give it word for word and let it speak for its writer: Philadelphia, June 23. 1802. Bin I take the hourly of addressing you upon the subject of tlie proposed locatlou of t!it United ttlates Navy Yard at League Island. I have been informed, aud I believe League Island has been wholly reclaimed from the river Delaware, aud Is only prevented from overflow by large banks of etoue aud earth. U is surrounded, except upon one side, by a niarwh, and for this cause, as well as from insa lubrity, it bos been unimproved and unocou pied, except as pasture luud, at u moderate rent, since its reclamation. The last land is from six to eight feet below nigh, water mark at all colnte. and would cost over a million dollars to level and fit for use as much as will be required for the large purposes projected. II tueoojeei is to erect lounuries, tue spongy nature of the soil would make it impossible to gel a proper foundation for the buildings ex cept at great cost, nor could a well of sullloleut deptn be dug for large castings, it coma not cost less than two or three million dollars in ship-houses, dry-docks, and other structures now in the old yard, which would have to be abandoned. Thus the gift of the Inland would be dear, and still dear if $2,000,000 were added to the gijt towards flttiny it for use. Most of tha ship carpenters employed in the yard now reside In and find employment in Kensington, nearly eight miles distunt from the Island, where they would continue, as Government work is not sufficiently regular or remunerative to induce a permanent removal. The Island is at least five miles lrom the supply stores of the city. The approaches are as low as the Island itself, and unfit for building purposes, and far dlataut from hydrants, gas, improved streets, police, and railroads. The place has only to be visited and seen to de monstrate its unfitness, aud I would humbly suggest a visit by a committee of Congress for the purpose, before so great an outlay is In curred or promised, where periormance is Im possible. There are minor objections, which I will not urge. I am as earnest as any Puila delphlan iu the desire of the location of a first class yard, but it is my duty, impelled by the same feelings which you have, to state to yon, as a public man, it will cost at least four million dollars to fit League Island for the least eltt clency as compared with the present yard. If you add loundries, etc., that will be an addi tional expense, which I will not undertake to estimate. The vresent vard may be extended for abou' two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and provide oil the ground necessary now and hereaftt-r with out disturbance or delay. I am ready to give fur ther information. Being personally unknown to you, I refer you to any of the Philadelphia delegation or the House to be assured wuo l am, With high respect, Joseph N. PisiKSoL. Shall we elect to a post of trust, a post of in fluence, a man who would thus insidiously seek to ruin the plan for which all good Phila delphians have been working with unparal leled harmony? Shall we reward this enemy to our best local interests by putting him in a position to again sacrifice our city, and this time with greater success f Let the people answer. For personal reasons he goes aside from what is his natural course, and writes a letter to a Senator whom he does not know. and whom he has to refer to our delegation in order that his name may be recognized; and for this we are to make him Treasurer 1 Think of it, voters 1 If Mr. Peirsoi had succeeded, League Island would have been rejected, and we would have had to be content with the wretched Navy Yard now ours, and the grea' depot of our iron-clads would have been located at i ew London. It is all nonsense for a man to talk of "love for our oity," while he is stab bing her in the most vital parts. It is base hypocrisy to say he cares for her, when he secretly attempt to ruin her interests. If Mr. Peirsoi owned land adjoining the present Navy Yard, it is no excuse for his seeking to prevent the great improvement to our oity. He is either bo selfish as to sacrifice Philadel phia to private gain, which looks probable, or else out of sheer malice he attempted to de prive us of our Navy Yard. In either case, is he qualified for the City Treasurership ? cihall we have the present efficient Chief Clerk, or shall we have the enemy of the League Island Navy Yard? The people will Buawur m woiober.

A shciibt caucus, for private reasons, has removed Major Richard S. Smith frem the Presidency of Girard College. The manner in which this end was accomplished, and the entire lack of oourtesy or fairness displayed by the members in favor of the change, stamp them as unfitted to hold the post of Directors of a scholastio institution. From all we can learn, Major Smith was not notified of the intention, was not summoned to answer any complaint made against him, was not tried, or, in fact, even complained of. Yet, by the following vote, he was summarily re moved: Yeas Messrs. Jnmes J. Boswell, Kobert M. FoUKt. John Fry. Kobert T. Gill, William U. Haines, Cyrus Home, George Hetnaen, JosepU K. Kijonds, Albert (J. Koberts, and Ueorge Tru man, Jr. Nay Mesnrg. Augustus Heaton, Tliomns M. Coleman, Christian J. Hoffman., Joseph Moore, and diaries K. Lex. Abht-ntor not voting Messrs. Couroy, U. G. Jones, J. M. Ilutler. A glance at the names of the directors, pro and con, shows us that the end in view was a political one. Most of the gentlemen voting in favor of the removal are known to all our people as politicians. What the objeot in view may be, we do not pretend to guess; but we feel no hesitation in condemning the action as uncalled for, as well as unjust. The condition of Girard College has been Bteadily improving for Beveral years. The course of study has been well matured, and the discipline rendered more strict. All those who are familiar with the workings of the institution know that there is no real cause for complaint against the President. Yet he is dismissed, as though he had been guilty of some flagrant dereliction of duty. He is not treated with that politeness which is due from man to man. And all this forjsome secret cause. We will endeavor to fathom the mystery, for we think we see in it the footprints of some political aspirant. The election of Dr. Allen is all very well, if there was any necossity for an election. But as it is, there is no real ground for change; and we view the dismissal as part of the same pro gramme which attempted, unsuccessfully, to remove Mr. Lex from the Presidency of the Board of Directors. The Proclamation of the High Sheriff. On our seventh page to-day will be found the proclamation of Henry C. Howell, Esq., High Sheriff of the county of Philadelphia, Order ing an election to be held for the various offices about to be made vacant by the expira tion of the terms of the present incumbents. To it we commend the attention of our readers, or if not to the document itself, at least to the spirit of it, which calls on every freeman to exercise his right, and cast his vote for those whom he deems best fitted for the places to which they aspire. There has never been a time in the history of the country when it behooved its citizens to exercise with greater caution this great safeguard of our liberties We do not not overestimate the peril. The success of the Democracy would so encourage the Executive madman, that we do not dare to speculate on the lengths to which he would go. The danger to the land is greater than we sup pose, because our people are so inclined to slight it. Let every one, then, act as his con science dictates, and join with the Sheriff in his prayer that "God may save the Common wealth." An Excellent Nomination. We notice with pleasure the selection of the Hon. Winthrop W. Ketchum by the Republicans of the Twelfth District, for their Representative to Congress. The seat of that District was made vacant by the death of Hon. Charles Denison. Mr. Ketchum is well known throughout all the State as an able advocate of her interests. He is thoroughly a Pennsylvanian. We know of no man better qualified to hold a seat in her delegation. A good Republican, ono who has been tried and never found wanting, he will merit the honor conferred upon him. He was the principal opponent of General Geary for the nomination of Governor, and worked as Lard as any man for the success of the ticket. He held a seat for many years in our State Senate, and is well acquainted with our finances, and an especial champion of protec tion to our home industry. We cordially wish him success, and we confidently anticipate that our wish will be realized.
