The Appointment of Public Officers.
In nation suoh as our own, thwre is muoh
more danger of too muob. power being Tested
dlreotl In the bands of the people; than there
ia of Its being lodged with any publio oiuoer.
The tendency of all democracies is towards
a distribution rather than a oentraliiation of
power, and the extreme jealousy of our people
renders it peculiarly so ia the United States.
As good citizens always should strive to pre
serve a balanoe by carefully considering the
right of the weaker side, it is well for us to see
whether there is not wore real dinger in the
overplus of publio power, than there is in a
mere vesting of appointments in the hands of
Borne offloer, himself chosen by the popular
suffrage, and accountable to it tor all his ao
ions. We are aware of the arguments mod ia
favor of eleoting publio offiiwrs. It is
said, and justly, that the people have
a right to choose directly the leaders of the
State, that it is part of the inalienable privi
lege of an American citizen to say who shall
be his rulers, or rather his publio servants,
and that when this power is taken away,
rights are infringed. It is farther said tb.it
the tendency of the appointing power is to
make the offioer feel subordinate, not to the
people, but to his superior, and leads to a
sacrifice of publio interests out of gratitude or
fear. Then again, by vesting so large an au
thority with one man it makis him so power
ful as to beoome dangerous to the state, and
leads him to seek in his selections not the
publio good, but bis personal advancement.
There is no small force iu these arguments,
and they have so far prevailed in this
country, and more especially in
this State, that with one or two
exceptions every officer is elected directly
by the people. So far our experience has not
been suoh as to cause us much anxiety on this
bead. We have been, as a rule, peculiarly
fortunate. The closeness of tbe strength of the
political parties, both in the State and ia our
city, has prevented them from daring to no
minate bad men tor high offices. Especially
baa it prevented the choice of corrupt or igno
rant men to any judicial position. Bat the
question arises whether in the future the pre
dominance of one or the other may not become
BO great as to lead them to venture on suoh a
choice, and then entail on the community the
greatest curse that we can imagine. That
the politicians will not hesitate to do bo is
dearly shown by the evil example of New
York city, where corruption has no rival
on the bench except ignorance, and
Where a system of petty tyranny and Jeffreys
like bribery disgrace the greatest part of the
local judiciary. The late of the Empire City
Shows what the effect of a vast politioal ma
jority will be. So now thinking men are
asking themselves whether it would not be
safest to vest the selection of tbe Judges in the
bands of the Governor, and require the oon
sent of the Senate, the same as a confirmation
Is necessary for national officers by the United
States Senate. WiitH we reoall the vast iutia
ence exercised by the Judges, the fact that
they possess the keys to liberty and publio
safety, that not only property, but' one's life
itself, is in a great measure under their oontrol,
we must recognize the vital importance o
doing all possible to accomplish, the choice of
wise and worthy men to such positions. There
are interests under their control far higher
than mere temporary needs or passing rights
The office should be bo removed from
all the passions of the day as to place
its actor above suspicion of being
influenced by them. The most satisfac
tory way of accomplishing this is to make the
tenure of the office as secure as possible. If a
plan could be devised which would nioely
modulate a freedom and a restriction a free
dom from popular bias, yet a restriction
against wrong doing and arbitrary oonduot
we would have the essenoe of a judicial sys
tem. We are not prepared to say, that by
making these officers appointive and not elec
tive, this excellent result could be attained,
but the question is one which is beginning to
agitate the publio mind. The daily increasing,
evil of the election of judges in New York
cannot but force it on the attention of Phila
delphia. So long, however, as we are not
cursed with bad judges ourselves, we do not
suppose that any practical step will be taken
towards changing the system of eleotion.
"Bat there is one thiBg which it requires no
disoussion to Bee, and that is the appointing
power should not be restricted further. If the
tide muBt flew, let it go backwards towards
the days when all judicial and seml-judiolal
officers were appointed. There is danger
ahead in making law offioers fall directly under
the reaoh of the popular will, and it is sound
wisdom to check rather than extend this tend
ency towards elections.
Overmuch Legislation.
If it were allowable to paraphrase the saying
of tbe great Swedish minister to his son, that
tbe world is governed with bat little wisdom,
it might be Bald that if it takes but little wis
dom in our worldly rulers to manage matters,
it certainly takes a ereat deal of law. The
constant manufacture of new laws is never
ceasirg, it is eternal. Fashions may change,
minds alter, opinions are reversed, changes
are constantly taking place in everything;
put we bear of no improvement in the art of
stopping this wholesale making and ohanging I
of laws. We see simple methods taking the
place of complex in the arts and sotenoes, but
laws instead of being narrowed down to the
compaotest spaoe, are of all our artificial con
trivances continually becoming more balky
and diffusive.' - Congress, at every session, Is
repeatedly making laws that are just as regu
larly altered and partially repealed at an en,
Bulng session. Every little petty detail, to
take only a single instance, Bay of the Trea
sury Department, which is expanded Into a
number of Beotions, oompaoted into a so-called
law, introduced, talked over, and passed, is in
many oases entirely inoperative. About a
year ago, we think it was, an imperative sec
tion appended to one of these weighty docu
ments contained specific direotiona for the pay
ment of the Compound Interest notes whhh
were bo obviously the only way la whloh the
payment could be made, that if such legisla
tion was any way at all extraordinary it might
have exoited surprise. One of our New York
contemporaries, and a very able one, too, we
well remember, devoted a whole oolumn to
spreading its surprise at such a remarkable
ciroumstanoe. Accustomed as it was to such
legislation, even so old a veteran could not
refrain from an exhibition of feeling t
If we come to our State Legislatures, what
an amount of work. Oceans on ooeaos of
laws I "Alp I on Alps arise 1" What moan
tains of lofty nonsense I A young member of
the bar was complaining, in a drooping, de
sponding manner, of the complexity of many
laws which had been passed at a session of the
Legislature, then recently adjourned. "Hushl"
exclaimed an old ooadjuUr, "don't you see if
lawyers can't understand them how inexpli
cable they must be to the publio at large I
Consequently we have all the benefit of the
confusion I"
We are afraid that our country takes the
lead in this wholesale legislative business.
Other countries are getting to be ashamed ot
the vast accumulations, and are making ar
rangements for simplifying the old train.
Thus the English tariff laws are now oonflnel,
we think, to five, certainly not more than
seven articles I There is in nch consolation left
as in the fact that, in spite of crude, undi
gested, and bad laws, hastily passed, and
very often as hastily repealed, suuh
is the recuperative power of this coun
try that it rises from these hardens
by the natural buoyancy attendant oa an
elastio land whose resources are every year
becoming more and more developed. Despite
war and its attendant calamities, no adverse
legislation can seriously affect its invariable
progress. The reasons for this have been wei1
stated in the language of one of the best
writers of the age: "No ordinary misfortune,
no ordinary misgovernment, will do so muoh
to make a nation wretohed as the oonstant
progress of physical knowledge, and the con
stant effort of every man to buttur Manaelf,
will do to make a nation prosperous. It has
often been found that profuse expenditure,
heavy taxation, absurd oommeroial restric
tions, corrupt tribunals, disastrous wars, sedi
tious persecutions, conflagrations, and inunda
tions have not been able to destroy capital bo
fast as the exertions of private citizens have
been able to create it.'
The Coal Miners' Strike.
During the recent strike of the coal miners of
Pennsylvania, an unusual degree of promi
nence was given to the internal jealousies
which pervade the coal districts.
In Schuylkill county the strike was uni
versal, and in consequence of the small margin
of profit left to tbe operators many of the
latter seemed to be rather pleased than other
wise with the disposition of the miners to
suBpend work. The general feeling ap
peared to be that it would be fortu
nate if the evident production of a largi-r
quantiy of ooal than was being oonsumed,
which was depressing the market, could be
checked by a general suspension of operations
in all the mining distriots. The high prioes
obtained for coal daring tbe war, and the large
fortunes realized in some instances in a very
brief period, by successful operators, bad
given an extraordinary and unprecedented im
petus to coal-mining operations, and when the
reaction came, simultaneous with the diml.
nution of the demand, arising ia part from the
depression of manufactures, and in part from
the decrease of the wants of the Government,
there was an unpreoedentedly large produc
tion. The evils of this depression were most
seriously felt in Sob. uyl kill county, partly
because it is one of the oldest of the mining
distriots, and one in which mining is most
expensive; partly because ooal operations are
still conducted there almost exclusively by
individuals or small firms, instead of by mam
moth corporations; and partly on account of
the expense of transportation.
In the Lehigh district there was considerable
sympathy felt with the strike, but there was
at the same time a general disposition to re
sume work as speedily as possible, and a per
vading suspicion that the whole movement
bad either been prompted or encouraged by
the Sohuylkill operators, on account of the
depressed oonditlon of the trade in that oounty.
In the Lackawanna distriot, where ooal
mining operations are now oondaoted almos4
exclusively by large corporations oonneoted
with, or forming part of transporting compa
nies, tbe most zealous efforts were made from
tbe outset to prevent even the partial suooess
of the strike, and although repeated demon
strations were made by the strikers, their ex
ertions were foiled, and no serious or pro
traoted suspension of operations occurred in
any part of this region. The feeling of
distrust or jealousy of Sohuylkill
oounty was frequently appealed to to
induce the miners to oontlnue their labors,
and the force of these appeals was strength
ened by the fact that the Schuylkill miners re
fused Borne time ago to oo-operate with a
Strike oommenoed in Luzerne oounty.
An effort is now being made by soma of the
miners to secure a oordial ubion of all the
miners of the- State in an effort to obtain a
practical recognition of the eight-hour law, or
an equivalent advance of wages; and it remains
o be seen what degree of suooess will be
achitvei by the movement. -
In Victor IIcoo's famous novel of "The
Hunchback; or, Bell-ringer of Notre Dame,"
be introduces the following conversation be
tween a bookseller, who fears that the art ot
priming, which bad been recently invented at
the date of the story, will destroy his old trade
iu n anusoripts, and a furrier, whose goods
were being supplanted by velvet:--

Absurd as such forebodings seem in this
con u try, they are not a whit more ridiculous
than the complaints of Rebel politicians that
"Liberty is destroyed," and the "Constitu
tion undermined," because the old race of
slaveholders cannot maintain unchecked sway
over the South, and continue to bold in abject
subjection their former slaves, and the masses
of the Southern white men, and to oontrol,
through tbe subservienoy of the Northern De
mocracy the National Government. The politi
cal world that baa been destroyed
is their cunning network of tyranny and injus
tice, and if the Congressional system of Recon
struction is successful ia preventing forever
the re-establishment of the old system of
fraud and force, it will not only prove ex
tremely useful te all the legitimate interests
of the republio, but advance immeasurably
the cause of true constitutional freedom.
Tub Dbhocbact are terribly worried in re
gard to the letter of Blair, which threatens
the bayonet as a means of resouing the South
ern reconstructed governments. They are em
ploying every means to disguise the faot that
Blair spoke the truth and nothing but the
truth. Wade Hampton moved in a South
Carolina Convention a resolution that "While
entering a protest against radical reconstruc
tion acts, we rely confidently on the constitu.
tional agency and peaoeful measures alone to
bring us the relief sought and the reforms
needed."
But all their efforts are unavailing. The
fact is clear, a Democratic success means revolu'
tion and possibly something worse.

will be held in connection with the Congress, of
objects of art and antiquity, selected from spe

A Civil Service Is something whloh we
sadly need In this oountry. The sober-minded,
thinking statesmen of the oountry appreciate
this laot quite as fully as Mr. John Bright, who,
in a recent speech at Birmingham, said "that
England bad at this moment a free press, a free
platlorm, and a free Parliament; but some
people looked with alarm upon demooratlo In
stitutions;" adding, that "he should himself be
very Borry, In some things, to Americanize our
(English) institutions. In the course of a few
months both countries would be engaged In a
great political struggle. Bat there was one
thing they had tu the United States whloh he
would be grievously sorry to see Imported Into
this country they had la the change of a four
years' dynasty a change In almost all their
officers throughout wbat might be oalled their
Internal establishments. Such a change would
be moat disadvantageous In this country."
BTbb Frankinq raiviLKoa does not lie idle

pear that the looal political circulars Issued

city malls under oover of his official frank; and
an officer of tbe committee divulged the faot
tbe other night that he has been In the habit of
franking 600 or 600 envelopes at a time with Mr.
Wood's frank. Recently some annoyanoe has
been given to the committee by the foot of Mr
Wood's franking machine being in Washing
ton, and, therefore, not bandy for use. Fer
nando should have his maoblne duplicated at
once. The franking privilege Is such a source of
corruption that a few additional machines
would not materially increase the burdens in
flicted by It upon tbe conn try.

HOW JAMlS AS iVLKEO TO HIS NAME.
A grave and learned man was making a ssseoh to
a clats of rough bys. He asked tbe first boy, What
Is yonr name, my bosT"
"Dar," answered the boy, Tory promptly.
'Ton ought to eay Daniel, my boy," said tbe pro
fessor. .
"Well, then, Daniel," roared the boy,
"And what Is your name, slrT"' said he to the next
boy.
Sam," bluntly remarked the youth
'Weil, say Samnel; It souods better." ' '
And Ssmuel rang oat bis lull name In ths ears of
tbe learned man.
"And what shall I call youT" was the question te
boy No. 8.
Tbe number three boy looked gravely Into the eyes
of tbe man of letters, and respectfully made anawsr.
-Jimuel. If J oa please, sir."
The explosion of dellgbtlnl mlrthfnlness whloh fol
lowed, Is stated by all tbe newspaper reporters pre
eett, to have been second only to the delightful
mlnh experienced and mantfrated by every boy,
when arrayed la a new suit of BOCKHIIL A WIL

Whatever be the lad's name, whether Daniel,
Samuel, Jlmoel, or any oher name, ana wnatsonvac
