Ilia kuowledge of the fact, and his conviction of the damage it does, have proba bly prompted him to check the evil, even if he cannot destroy it. But he is grappling with a monster, and must count upon a sharp and bard fight. The time, labor, and money spent in a residential campaign are enormous. Thou sands of men in each party devote their time and toil, for weeks and months, to the con test. In organizing parties, in getting np meetings, securing speakers, and making speeches, in distributing partisan documents and papers, in canvassiug for votes, getting voters to the polls, and all tho many other details of an election, the zeal and energy ex pended by active party nen in every canvass are very great. Upou any fair estimate of the value of time and of labor expended, a Presi dential election must cost each party millions Of dollars. Now, comparatively a small portion of the most active and zealous "working' politi cians are prompted by motives of mere patriot ism. As a general thing they are not men who are capable of such a sentiment. They follow it as a business for its profit, in hand and prospective. The great mass of the ora tors who figure so largely in every campaign And deloge the country so freely with their eloquence, are hired and paid so many dollars for every speech, like lawyers, actors, and I 1 1 ! 1 . . 1 iLa W Oilier proiesmuuai penuruiers, ujr ius uuui- mittees that have them in charge; and they take their chance of getting, in addition, some fat office as a reward for their "disinterested" service in the cause. And the great army of silent managers committee-men, wire-pullers, marshals, chairmen, secretaries, can vassers, distributors of tickets, the captains of tens and captains of fifties, who bring voters to the polls, who see that they vote early and that the enemy do not vote often all these and the thousands of others who are active, zealous, and efficient politicians, look to office of some kind or other, as the natural and necessary reward of their labors. They claim office as their right; and they deny, vehemently and vociferously, the right of anybody else to hold office at all. "lie is not competent or fit for the office" is never heard as a reason why any applicant should not get It; "what has he done for the party?" is the only question asked, and when answered "nothing," this is the only objection urged. Persons elected by such elforts and such men, to places of power or influence feel bound to "take care" of their "friends." A member of Congress must spend half his time and strength in getting places for the men to whose arts or efforts he owes his election. lie haunts the high places of power, begging for office, thus to reward his followers, Ilia posi tion is stripped of all dignity, its legitimate duties are neglected, and he loses all sense of decenoy and self-respect in this humiliating and degrading mendicancy. The evil for the last eight years has increased to frightful pro portions. President Lincoln's good nature set an example of submission to it, which was followed by his successor, and which has sapped the vigor and efficiency of the Admin istration almost as much as it has impaired its dignity and independence. Members of Con- fress have claimed the right to diotate to the resident all his appointments for their re spective districts. State delegations oombine to give greater weight to sunk demands; and if the President refuses or hesitates to submit to such humiliations, war is opened upon him at once, as a traitor to his paity and his friends, and he beoomes the mark for detrac tion and denunciation on every hand. General Grant probably sees as Presidents who have gone before him have seen how utterly fatal such a system is to everything like an honest, efficient, aud useful aiminis tration of the Government. Whether he will be able to remedy it, or not, is doubtful. The Tenure-of-Offioe bill, now in existence, origi nally passed by the Republicans as a ourb on Andrew Johnson, may do something to aid him in his efforts. It is very imperfect in some of its details, and mischievous as well as unjust in some of its provisions. It ought to bs amended, and, if not replaced by the Civil Ser vice bill of Mr. Jenckes, ought at leant to embrace some of its provisions. But a great deal will depend upon General Grant personally for a correction of this gross and growing abuse. Ilis military training and experience will be of essential service. Never having been aoonstomed to receive orders from his subordinates, he will probably not submit to dictation from any quarter as to his appointments. The methodical habits of military routine, in which each officer attends to the duties of his own position, will probably incliuo, General Grant to impose upon the beads of departments the selection of their own subordinates, and to occupy himself less than has been the reont custom with these matters. lie may think it due to his dignity as well as to his comfort not to have hordes of office-seekers swarming in his ante-chamber, and invading his private apartments at all hours of the day and night. And he will be likely, we are inclined to think, to attaoh more weight to special fitness and competency, and lers to party service, &i qualifications aud claims for office, than has been done for a good many yeais past. General Grant has oauped it to be pretty generally understood that he prefers to seek persons to fill office, and advice as to his oou- duct of affairs, rather than to have them thrust upon him. An adhereuoe to this priu flinlu n il! savtt him a irnod deal of nersonal discomfort, and contribute to the efficiency of the public service and the respeoiability of the Administration. lll'inbug Exposing Itself.

Still this brazen sheet per sisted in its game of deoeptlon, on Monday morning repeating its fabricated tables, and again on Tuesday morning. On Wednesday morning it calls for "the statistics," when what it pretended were "the statistics" had become standing tables in its columns. And evtn on that same day, in one of its high flying, ridiculous, doable-headed appeals for support, it holds on to the aggregate, while dropping the statistical tables, by stating the disfranchised persons to number 545,231, com ing down to the exactness of the figure one as a unit. Of course 280 would do there was just one more disfranchised person, and he must be put in. Still, this brassy conoern knew nothing at all about it, and in another column was confessing it, and calling for "the statistics." This sheet is becoming desperate. It feels itself outlawed from the party, discredited by the public, and held in universal contempt. It makes the most frantic efforts to regain its lost position. It mistakes the method. Lying and charlatanry are not Demosratio quali ties, and will not secure Deinooratio con fidence and support. The more it struggles the lower it sinks. Guided by no political or moral prinoiple, it makes the mistake which rasoals generally fall into, of resorting to tricks to gain what can be seoured only by honesty. We shall follow it up and expose it with untiring vigilance. We feel greatly encou raged in our efforts. Uy persisting, day after day, in denouncing its statements in regard to disfranchisement, we have at length on the fourth morning brought it to confess the fraud and call for the facts. One in stance like this stamps the character of the paper, and must destroy all confidence in the truth of what may appear in its columns. Crowing won't save it. "It's a dead cook in the pit." Falling bask to the "quadri lateral" is of no use turning the "elbows of the M incur' will be of no avail it a a gone rooster. The State of TainmaDj. from ttielf. Y. Tribune. Those of our friends who have felt scruples as to whether the State of New York has anv right to exert a redeeming intluenee over the pontics of the city, may now find rel.ef in the fact that the question is changed, by the late election of Hoffman, into the more vital one whether the city shall rule the State. If the people of the rural districts have had anv doubt whether they had a greater interest in the good government of this city than thev have in that of Kamsehatka, such doubt must be dispelled when thev see this city, owine to its local misgovernment, give the electoral vote ortne stateto bejinour by zU,UUO fraudulent ballots, and elect a Governor and State officers by the like dishonest means. This shows that unless the State govern the city the city will certainly govern the State. The Evning Post has a pleasant theory that our mlsgoverument in matters still remaining under the sway of tne iammany ring Is due to the faot that the control of the Police, Health, and Fire Depart ments has been taken from them and is con ducted with greater purity. We supposed that misgovemment caused the withdrawal of these powers, not that the diminution of the powers of the city caused its misgovemment. tint tue .vcmng I'o&t lulnKs tne turbid water runs up the stream instead of down, and that the wolf is innocent, while the lamb is greatly to blame. Does the faot that Mayor Hoffman has ceased to con'rol the police in any way cause him to make the Court House cost $7,000,000 instead of 2,000,000 f If the City Government is faithless, rotten, and corrupt over a few things, would it become faithful if us sway were extended over many things i Nor are we able to understand how the con dition of things would be improved by erect ing New York and its environs into the State of Manhattan. It would lose control thereby over the railroads and oanals which it has bnilt, and whioh in turn have added to its wealth and prosperity. The new State would be in effect an alien commonwealth, ruled by an irresponsible and reokless element such as in all the other Mates of the Union is kept in a minority of power if not of numbers. We trust it may be long before we shall bsexposed to tne horrors or a State Government abso lately controlled by the New York city De mocraoy. Hat if such a new State is to be formed, let us not call it "Manhattan," but frankly accept the situation and oall it "Tammany." The Other Johnson. IVotn th W. T. Tribune. Reverdy is sad. The emotions that over come him are almost as painful as those which brought tears to the eyes of the virtuous aud much abused Pecksniff. The wounds of Peck sniff are not to be compared to those which Keverdy has received from the Amerioan peo pie. Tom Pinch and John Westlock aud his numerous relations, and even that confiding younz genius Chnzzlewit, not to speak of Mr. Mouldy aud the rieh old grandfather, united in betraying the oonfiding architect. Reverdy toid tne i-.ugiit-n nation, tne otner evening, that he had ben "greatly criticized for the manner in which he had received offered civilities while in this country, but such strio tures on his ronduot had not affected the negotiations which were in progress. How ever dissatisfied people in England or in America may be, tliey will nnd that there is no ground for such a feeling." Far be it from ub to intrude upon the griefs so magnani mously avowed by Reverdy Johnson. No one objects to his "negotiations," nor to the ordi nary interchange of "civilities." No one ex pected Mr. Johnson to carry to England any of the griefs or resentments of the war, but we certainly did not expect that the men whom he would single out and publicly honor as his friends would be the enemies of our country. We did not expect him to embrace noblemen like Lord Wharnolitfe, who had taken a prominent part in favor of the Rebels, or speculators like Litrd, who had built pri vateers to destroy our commerce, aud even poing so far as to evade and dishonor his flag by sending them surreptitioudy to sea, or dtmagogues like Roebuck, who publicly in sulted the American people in the presence of its minister, by his degrading and loathsome rhetorio. Reverdy should be allowed to return to Maryland, and, by the quiet waters, of the Chesapeake, to brood upon the ingratitude of his countrymen. He oertaiuly is needed no longer in London. Fiiiiuiciul (Jaackcry, fromrAaiV. T. World. Secretary McCullooh is said to have been deliberating for several days as to whether he would intervene to alleviate the present strin gency in the money market. This is a subjeot on which he should not trouble himself to deliberate at all. It is a subject with which, as head of the Treasury Department, he ha no proper concern. It is no business of his to make a tight or an easy money market, tut to Cvi!ct tlw revena", meet the obliga tions, and maintain the credit, of the Govern ment. Speculators and men ia legitimate business (we know no reason why speculation is not a legitimate business) are said to be alike suf fering from the present strioeenov. The real difference between the two olassas is, that one are fitful and the other steady employers of capital. Let us consider their cases separately as respects the expediency of relief from the Government. It men in regular business have not suf ficient foresight to plan with reference to such periodical variations in the money market as are of constant ooourrenae, they justly suffer the consequences. At this season of the year. when large amounts of money are employed to move the crops of the West and the South, the rate of interest for short loans is naturally higher than at other times. If, at this season, large speoutative movements of auy kind set in, the rates go still higher, and men in regular trade, and all other men, find it more difficult to obtain loans. Now it is one of the most obvions precautions in the world for men who foresee that they must use borrowed money while the crops of the country are moving, to make some preparation beforehand. If they neglect to do so, they expose themselves to a voluntary risk, and cannot with prop-iety ask the Government to shield them from the effects of their imprudenoe. Nothing is farther beyond the proper seope of government than to insure individuals against the conseqnenoes of their lack of judgment or foresight in the management of their private business. hut if men in regular business are not en titled to such relief, then oertainly not the speculators, ducu men buy on their mlg- ment of the future state of the market. They take a voluntary risk, and if they miscalculate they must suffer the loss. If they under estimate the forthcoming supply of the com modity in which they Bpeoulate, or over estimate the demand; if they fail to take the probable state of the money market into their calculations, or attend to it and miscalculate. their speculations will turn out badly, and they have only to blame their own want of sagacity. So far as money is an element of business calculations, speculative or other, we admit that the uovernment has a duty; whioh is, to furnish a currency as well guarded as it Is possible (or legislation to guard it, against sudden fluctuations. Bat for the Government to intervene on every emergency is the very way to unsettle all stability. If business men cannot know beforehand how much ourrency there is to be in the country; if it is liable to be expanded or contracted at any time accord ing to the judgment or caprice of the Secre tary of the Treasury, an additional and un necessary source ot risk is added to the ordi nary hazards of business. It speculators miscalculate the market, and are obliged to sell at a loss, they will learn to be more cautious another time. If they use only their own money, they can stilL hold their commodities as long as they please, and put them on the market at such times as they think they will bring the highest price. Bat if they are speculating a borrowed capital, and cannot get renewals when their loans mature, their losses may be great; but that is no reason why the Government should come to their resoue. If the Government expands and depeciates the currency for their relief, it does it at the expense of their creditors. When money is worth less, goods are nomi nally worth more, auft the seller of the goads is enabled to pay his debts in a medium less valuable than he borrowed. II the Govern ment intervenes to favor such au operation, it punishes the lenders of money for the impru dence or miscalculations of borrowers. Even if such intervention were within the proper sphere of Government at all, it would be grossly unjust. Before we can ever get back to a sound cur rency there must be a good deal of financial pressure, and the business community must make up their minds to bear it in a heroio spirit. But resumption will by no means be attended by such widespread distress as it was in England after the long suspension in the early part of this century. Oar agricultural interest (which is the life of all the others, as furnishing their chief market) will suffer but lightly as oompared with the agriculture of England, where the soil is not owned, as here, by its actual oultivators. In England the land is leased for long periods, in order that tenants may be enoonraged to improve it by the cer tainty of enjoying the resnlts. But tenants who took their leases at fixed rents when an inflated currency made prices high were ruined by the return to specie, whiuh left them with the same rents to pay and small prices for their crops. Oar farmers, who own their land, are exposed to no such calamity. Their crops may bring lower prioes, bat less money will bay an equal quantity of all other commodities. Still, there must be considerable suffering in getting back to specie. One con sequence of past mismanagement is, that we are reduced tea ohoioe of evils; bat tho?e who have a clear perception of the value of health will not refuse to take necessary medicines, however nauseous or bitter. A Chance for John Jay. From the If. Y. World. We do not know whether it is or is not true that Mr.'John Jay, in the warmth of his new- Lorn intimaoy with Colonel Daniel a. Sickles, is exerting himself to have the post of envoy to England, which was onoe filled by his fa voiite ancestor, Chief Justice Jay, conferred upon that eminent radical stumper. Bat as Mr. John Jay must, of course, be omnipotent with his radical brethren in Congress, we trust he will uBe his influence with them to have the same rule adopted now which his favorite ancestor proposed in the first Colonial Conti nental Congress, suppressing the practice of opening the sessions o. Congress with prayer, Should he do this, Mr. John Jay would at onoe honor the memory ot his favorite ancestor. and render a much mere important service to .morals and religion, decenoy and piety, than the appointment of Colonel sickles as Minuter to r.ngland. Dr. Boynton, now chaplain of the House of Representatives, made a prayer in the Capitol on Tuesday morning last, to Colfax "Speaker" and five or six other members. in whioh be was kind enough to inform the Almighty that Boyton, Colfax, and the few friends then present really approved of the "issue" to which He (the Almighty) had brought the great questions before the eoun try," Also, that they were so amiable as to "believe" that the Almighty had "dlreoted the minds of the people to right conclusions;" or, in other words, to vote for Grant and Colfax. The John Jay of 1775 objected to prayers before Congress, on the ground that all possible differences of religious opinion existing among the members ought to be scrupulously respected; and that it was better to have no prayers thau prayers the forms ot whiuh might be unpleasant even to one member of the body. It surely is not possible that the John Jay of 1868 can be less s hooked by prayers the very substanoe of whioh offers, and is intended to offer, an iusult to the poli tical convictions not of One or two members of Congress, but of a powerful minority of the , whole body ? Such well-known pietists aud religious fanatics as Horace Greeley aud George Wilkes may possibly believe that Boynton and his prayers really move the Almighty mind and enlist "the registering angel" In the radical interest. Perhaps thay even regnrd the attempt of the brother of iue wickedest man in New York" to eive his party thirty disciplined votes out of a pot house as a providential recognition of the conversion of John Allen. Bat Mr. John Jay, more loyal to the courtly and philoo- hicat traditions or his noble hoase, imm e superior to such notions. Let him inter vene, then, in behalf of decenoy aud religious decorum. Republicanism is I'oace. From the Cincinnati Gazitle, An instalment of the peace that was to follow the election of a Republican President and Congress has been realized br the formal ac ceptance ot the situation by Wade Hamptou and a number of other prominent South Caro lina Demoorats. They called on Governor Scott in a body, and declared their determina tion to acoept the result, abide by the denislon of the people, stand by the State Government, and use their influence to induce the people to do the same; and they expressed their convic tion that the future prosperity of the State depended upon the hearty support of the Gov ernment, and the reference of all difftreuces to tie ballot-box, which alone should, in future, be the remedy for unwise legislation. Surely this is better than Demooratio success, with ulterior revolution. The very author of the revolutionary plank in the Demooratio plat form thus recognizes that the peace and pros perity of the State have been secured by the dt-ieai oi ma party. Ibis is what we expected would be the effect throughout the South, if the North presented a united front in the elections. And when Wade Hampton, the dictator of the most im portant plank in the Democratio platform, has taken the lead, bringing with him the other prominent Confederates of South Carolina, there is good ground to expect that the move ment will be universal. As the Democratio party has had no bond of cohesion except its determination to destroy the National Govern ment, this is its formal dissolution. The elec tion has decided that there is no possibility of a reactionary revolution, no probability of the Democratio party getting into power without a radical regeneration in character, and no hope to the South in resistance to the National Government. The Southern leaders will ao oept this decision. The Northern Democratio managers, who have hitherto deluded tiie South to its ruin, should now candidly confess to them that this is the only polioy which has any hope of peace. General Grant oil-Flank Movements. Itom the N. Y. Sun. All great commanders have been cele brated lor some salient point in their charac ters. General Grant is famous for his flank movements. At Fort Donelaon, where he first rose to fame, he moved upon the enemy's works by the right flank. Having been successful in this, he took that line for awhile, and so, in bis final campaign to comiuer Vicksbure. he crossed the Mississippi by the right flank, wiiiis Aamirai rorter ran the river batteries with the fleet, amid the blazine tempest of shot and shells that illumined the heavens. Then Grant recroBsed the river, and bv- a series of celebrated battles, all fought by the right flank, reached the rear of the Rebel stronghold, which, by doggod obstiuaoy, he at length subdued, and split the Confederacy in twain. He subsequently signalized his commission as Lieutenant-General by a right flank attack on the Rebel intrenchments at Chattanooga, won a glorious victory, avenged the disaster of Chickamauga, relieved Burnside in East Tennessee, drove Bragg pell-mell into Geor gia, and opened the gates for Sherman's grand march tethe sea. In the spring of 1804, when placed in com mand of all the armies, with headquarters in the saddle, he crossed the Rapidin with the oft baffled but never routed Army of the Po tomao, met the foe in the terrible battles of the Wilderness, and thence fought it oat on that line, always moving by the right flank, till, nearly one year afterwards, he reoeived the sword of Lee at Appomattox Court House. These successiul flank movements un doubtedly entitle General Grant to all his re putation as a soldier; but they pale when compared with hid strategy as a politician, as for examples While in the War Department, he baffled Johnson's attempt to draw him into a collision with Congress and the Courts by refusing to hold on as Seoretary in violation of law, and obstinately declining Johnson's generous offer to go to jail in his stead. During the heat of the late canvass, he escaped from the disagreeable importunity of hungry partisans, and the oiiensive odor of torchlight processions, by a retreat to the rural shades of Galena, where he enjoyed repose and Li cigar without molestation. Thtt election being over, he returned to Washington by a well-executed flank-movement, whertin he foiled an army of offioe seekers, bursting with lhetorioal effusions, all along the route, and avoided being smothered by a reception of office-holders at the capital, by going through on the night train. He found awaiting his arrival a bushel or two of wiitten recommendations of Jones, Smith, Brown, Robiuson, Doe, and Rea to every place which will be at his disposal on and after the 4th of March next; and here be committed his first mistake, lie ordered the whole lot to be thrown into the fire. He should have sent them, as he ought also to send the bales which are yet to be heaped upon bim, to No. 25 Ann steet, in this city, be sold for waste paper, and the proceeds devoted towards the liquidation of the publio debt. Not quite appreciating the significance of the holocaust, the cormorants who feed on official garbage at the national metropolis waited upon him Tuesday evening with their votive 'congratulations, and insisted on torohiighting him through the dirty streets ot Washington. With a grim smile, he told them to "take ever thing for granted," politely bowed the eommiltee to the door, and quietly went to bed. May he be as uniformly successful in bis flank movements during the eight years to come as he was throughout the lour years of the war t Y. P. M. Y. P. M. Y. P. M. VOITNCI'M Pi ns HUT WHISHT.
