General Grant Searching for a Cabinet.
yVom the If. T. Berald.
The cabinet-making clique.? of the Repub
lican party are bubily at work all over the
eouDtry fratuiDg a Cabinet lor General Grant.
It it aiuQsiDg to wituuas the activity and ex
citement the discussion of the subject oooa
Biona in the Republican papers. The Chicago
organ, supposed to be speaking e.t caike.drt,
ts up one man one day and another man the
tiext. The last trotted out was the Hon. lien
Wade for Postmaster-General. 15 ut no mat
ter who may be at the top of the heap as the
Western man fnr the Cabinet at any time, the
inevitable Washburre always turns up. As
or 15en Wade being made Postmaster ieneral,
the idea is preposterous. He is a good man
Enough; but Horace Greeley is already on the
Clate for that place. Other Western cliques
put in claims for General Sohenck, Senator
(Sherman, General Rawlins, Representative
Wilson, and a score of others for any position
that may be open; therefore there will be no
difficulty in General Grant selecting his entire
Cabinet from the West if he be so minded.
Then, again, there are a Stanton clique, with
leadquarters in Washington; Sumner and
Wilson cliques, with headquarters in .Boston;
the New York quadruple cliques, answering
alike for the Noith, South, East, and West,
and ready to take the entire job of cabinet
making for the new administration at a heavy
disoouut. Of course there are, besides the
above, the Pennsylvania high tariff clique, the
l)own Hast shipping clique, the bondholders'
Clique, the l'acilio Railroad or California
Clique, the army and navy clique which is a
Strong one the annexation or filibustering
clique, and we do not know how many more,
all ready to push before General Grant a repre
sentative man for a place in his Cabinet.
Meanwhile, like Diogenes with his lantern
Jn search of an honest man, General Grant
goes quietly on a tour of inspection in search
of Cabinet material. He writes no letters ask
ing the views of this or that personage upon
political measures, but makes a personal re
connoissance for himself. He leaves Wash
ington, reaches Philadelphia, and after meet
ing Macalester, of the line old revolutionary
Scotch stock, takes a social bite of haggis with
Jiis Scotch friends of the St. Andrew's Society,
Rnd finally drives with his friend, General
Jiucker, to the latter's private residence in
JWeBt Philadelphia. He arrives in New York
and goes to the private residence of Mr. John
C. Hamilton, a descendant of the fine old
Hamilton family of the Revolution, especially
famous for its original notions about finance. He
Reaches liostou, and makes Mr. Charles Francis
'dams, another descendant of one of the fine
Old families of the Revolution, his confidential
communicant. He gives a public reception at
the St. James; but the drawing-room doors of
the learned, the opnlent, the aristocratio of
the Hub 11 y open as if by magio to welcome
Ihe hero. Old Harvard gravely nods its wel
come, Bunker Hill Monument cheerily bows a
greeting, and the Cradle of Liberty rocks with a
Hew joy at his approach. Here he will ascer
tain all that New England expects, and a little
Snore, at the hands of his administration. He
jnay have a talk with Sumner; but according
to the Chicago oracle the interview will be
Snore "polite than friendly." Returning if
the original programme be carried out Gene
Jal Grant will call upon General Burnside, in
2'rovidence, and hold a friendly chat with his
old oomrade, in common with other Rhode
Islanders of dietiuction; for Rhode Island,
email as it is, has always been famed for its
3Jien of talent, wealth, and inlluence.
Thus by personal iu.-pejtion and conversa
tion, by a practical reuonnoissance of the
tvhole field, will General Grant ascertain who
are the best men for the position of Cabinet
advisers, whose ideas (upon ilnanoe particu
larly) agree with his own, and who may be
Willing to carry out his own decided views and
policy. In this tour we pray that General
Urant may be more successful than poor
old Diogenes was when searching for an ho
nest man, and find, what the country has
sadly needed for many years, an honest Ca
Jiuet. Lincoln Monument.
From "Erich'' I'omeroy's N. Y. Democrat.
We notice in the papers that some ambi
tious architect has at last planned a monu
ment for the renowned President who shulllsd
oil' this mortal coil at Washington, and who
tvas, for political ellect, carted like a side
Chow from the City of Magnificent Distances to
Lis final home at Springfield, 111. The cost of
the monument is to be two hundred thousand
dollars, and several years are to elapse before
the same will be completed, nnder the super
intending care of the genius who has designed
the same.
If ever a man deserved a monument it was
Iiincoln. He erected all over this land, from
Maine to the Gulf of Mexico, monuments to
Lis oupidity, imbecility, inefficiency, and des
potism, and it is very fitting that his dupes
and victims that the American people, who
Buffered so much from his hands and by his
life should mill further bleed for the erection
of a tower, like that proposed in the days of
ISabel, to commemorate not his virtues, but
the wrongs he iuilicted upon his unhappy
country. Presuming that there are many
panels upon the aforesaid monument, we
would suggest to the committee which hai
the matter in charge a few designs which
jnay have escaped the mind of the one who
planned the same.
We would suggest on one panel a picture of
a divided country which was once at peace
and prosperous divided by the abolition
party through its interference with constitu
tional rights. On another a picture of the
States, the provinces, or despotisms now ex
isting in the South, under the iron heel of
Grant and the Rump Congress, Which wars
upon the people of the subdued section, not
Xor the benefit of the country, but for the en
richment of the bondholders of New Eugland,
Who are day by day boasting that they hold
as their slaves the poor white men of the
Korth, South, aud West.
We would suggest as a design for another
panel the enormous national debt created, not
to save the country, but to carry on the mur
derous crusade for cotton and negroes, for the
Leuefitof Lincoln's pets and hirelings the
ofisoourlngs of creation, the picked-up
Lumanities from the tan-vaults, gutters,
(tIsods, saloons, and groggeries of the land.
Ve would suggest as nuother pauel a picture
representing the blaying of soldiers in the
Bouth in the raids for cotton, mules, and
household goods, for the benefit of the homes
of the loyal and Chrlotian churches of the re
ligions in the North.
On another panel we would represent the
immortal Lincoln with his legs crossed, pok
ing bia fingers into the ribs of staid aud stolid
fttatesmen, as he endeavored to impress them
With a sense of his genius in the line of telling
jiasty, smutty, vulgar stories, the goad
people, the pious people, the children of the
land, all being taught to look up to him, the
Snost vulgar and profane of all, as a pattern
f Rim for theiu to copy after. Oa another pauel
we should represent the pulpit orators of the
land; a procession of long-haired, whining- I
fnced. uplifting-eyes, white-chokered gentry,
who have been set apart and ordained to
preach Christ, and Him crucified, but who,
like Beecher and other clerical hypocrites of
the country, forsake the cause of Christ for
that of the nigger; who think more of politics
than religion; and who turn the temples dedi
cated to the worship of Almighty God into
caucus-rooms and political pothouses.
On another pauel we would picture the
bondholders who pay no taxes, who ride in
their elegant carriages, who sleep in their ele
gant homes, who drink costly wines, who
occupy front seats at the opera, and who live
on the money wrung by radical taxation from
the hontst laborers of the laud, no matter
whether they be black or white, native or
foreign bom. On another panel it would be
a good idea to place pictures of the Freed
uien's Bureau and of the lazy blacks of the
South, who are not capable of supporting
themselves, but who must be fed at the ex
pense of the laborers of the North, and yet
who, by radical legislation, are male law
makers of the country, and for whom the
entire energies of the nation for the past ten
years have been exerted.
On another pauel we would represent the
profits made by the plough-holders of the laud
after they have been ribbed for the benefit of
the bondholders, the negroes, the standing
army, the speculators, and the contractors,
who grow rich as radicalism grows strong.
This panel would be the smallest of .the lot,
for the profits made by these people, after
paying for the support of the ouej who fatten
upon their earnings, would be so little that
it would hardly be worth a pauel at all. On
another panel should be a picture of Lincoln
riding over a battle-field, and asking Marshal
Lamon to 6ing him "Dan Tucker," or some
other song, that the cries of the wounded sol
diers might rot penetrate his ears, for there
is nothing like being jolly an I joyful at all
times and under all circumstauces I
On another panel a representation of Mrs.
Lincoln selling her old clothes at auction.
On another pauel we should have
some drunken members of the "God
and morality" party in council at
at Willard's Hotel. Or we should
have a picture of Hir.ira teaching
the aborigines of the Pacifia their letters; or a
picture of the black scoundrels of Tennessee,
at the instigation of Browuiow, murdering
inoffensive woman and children there.
Hurry up the monument; built it high and
build it quickly, if you will only have it
erected in such mauuer as will convey
to coming generations the exact character
of the so-called martyr; if you will only give
us his true history; if you will only, on that
monument, tell just what kind of a man he
was, and how much misery he has brought
upon this country, we will contribute as libe
rally to the same as auy man in all the laud.
Let the monument be put up. Let its base be
broad as the ruin he has wrought. Let it be
made of the skulls of those he caused to be
slain in the crusade for cotton and negroes;
but do not let it be stained with the iears of
those who weep in suffering over acts by him
and his minions committed. Do not let it be
disgraced with a representation of Seward
tinkling bis little bell, and sending innocent
men to the bas tiles of the laud, for
that is a bfrt on our national fame
we would rather should be forgotten than re
membered. And on the top of the monu
ment, should its top ever be built, in the place
of liberty weeping, put the bust ot some
noble wench, some diiaky damsel of Ethiopia,
whose charms have such weight with the fol
lowers of radicalism, that coming generations
may know who and what the American public
worshipped for so many years, and at suoli
cost. And there, right beside Lincoln's monu
ment, let the haters of oppression and lovers
of liberty erect a plain marble shaft, on which
shall lie engraved the name of Johu Wilkes
Booth on one side, and on the other a picture
of Lis heart-broken mother kneeling in
prayer, supplicating the government of Lin
coln lor the body ot her son.
Election Frauds Ret urns by the Electoral
Colleges.
From the 2V. Y. Times.
An impression prevails in many quarters
that when the lists made out by each body of
electors of the vote for President and Vice
President are opened by the President of the
Senate, in the presence of the Senate and House
of Representatives, it is competent for the
two houses thus convened to reject the vote
of any State if a case of fraud in the election
sufficient to change the result is made to ap
pear. It has been suggested, in order to bring
up this question before the two houses, that
the Grant electors in this Sta'e assemble, on
the assumption that the actual legal vote was
in their favor, and transmit their list to the
President of the Senate, so that with the two
before them, the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives may reject both, and proceed to an
investigation of the alleged frauds. But as
the time fixed by law for the completion of
the duties of the Electoral College expired
on Tuesday, this part of the plan must fail.
There are abundant reasons why the other
must fail.
An inspection of the twelfth article of the
first amendment to the Constitution of the
United States will clearly show that the two
Houses thus convened are merely a ministerial
body. In the shape in which they are thus
required to meet, they are shorn of all legisla
tive functions, and are not endowed with any
of a judicial character. Their duty is thus
defined:
"The President of the Senate shall. In the pre
sence of the Senate aud House of Kireseota
lives, open ell the eertlUoates, aud Uie vote
Khali then be. counted. XUe person navlng ttio
greatest number of votes shall be the l'resl.
dent, If such u umber be a majority of ine Whole
number of electors appointed," etc
But it is alleged that fraud vitiates every
thing, and consequently that the Seymour
electoral vote is vol I, and should have no
ell'tct given to it by the body which is to count.
The answer is manifest that the regularity of
the election is to be assumed until the con
trary is made to appear in the manner pro
vided by law. The remedy is ample, but it
must be pursued in time, and within the
jurisdiction of the State in which the fraud is
alleged. The Constitution of the United States
bestows this authority on the several States,
and gives none whatever to the General Gov
ernment or any of its departments.
The second section of the second artiole
provides that "each State shall appoint, in
such manner as the Legislature thereof may
direct, a number of electors, equal," eto. The
only power devolved upon Congress over the
matter is contained in the fourth section of
that article, as follows:
"The Congress may determine the time of
choosing the electors and lbs day on wnlott
they Khali give tbelr votes, which dny shall be
the same throughout the U oiled Stales."
The significance of this nakedness in be
stowing authority upon Congress will readily
appear from an inspection of the clause declar
ing the mode in which Senators and Repre
sentatives may be elected. Nation 4 of artiole
1 provides
"That the time, places, and manner of hol.i
lr) election for Heualors and KeoreaeuUtl vea
hhall be prescribed In each mate by the Legls
lutuie thereof, but the Congress may ut auy
lime byluw make or alter nuon regulations,
except iiu lotnepfusoof choosing rJmtUois,"
In this division of power it thus appears
that although Congress may alter the State
regulations as to the time ami manner of hold
ing elections for Senators, and as to the timts,
places, and manner of holding elections for Rep
resentatives, it can determiue only the time of
chooMng Presidential electors and the day on
which they shall give their votss, the latter to
be uniform. Under these respective clauses
Congress has fixed the lime for choosing Sena
tors, and the time for choosing electors, and
the day on which they are to assemble
throughout the Union to cast their votes.
That day, this year, is the Weduosd ly which
has jnst expired. The f.iot that Congress
has abstained from doing more than to fix the
time, of choosing the electors and the day on
which they are to give their votes, is to be ex
plained only on the assumption that the m ia
tur of choosing electors is devolved upon the
States, to the exclusion of Congressional
power, in the clause which declares that ''eaoh
State shall appoint, in such mauuer as the
Legislature thereof may direct, a number of
electors," eto. The exercise by Congress of
jurisdiction over the rebellious States, fouuled
upon the war power a jurisdiction which
supposes a forfeiture of every constitutional
right and privilege, aud claims authority for
prescribing the time, mode, and mauuer by
which, in advance of their readmission, they
shall exercise the right of suffrage is not to be
confounded with the power of Congress
with respect to States which have maintains!
unbroken their true relation to the Union.
The exercise of the extreme powers which
arise from a state of war have no doubt led
many to suppose that they may us resorted to
during a state of acknowledged peace. The
mere statement of the case is all that is re
quired to correct this error.
On an examination of the National Consti
tution the theory is supported that the whole
subject of suffrage aud its exercise, so far as
concerns the Presidential election, is devolve!
wholly upon the several States. South Caro
lina, at one time, appoiuted its electors by
legislative ballot. New York provides in her
State legislation for the precise mode of their
election, for the mode of gathering the re
turns of local boards first, in some locality
convenient to several counties, and finally at
Albany, and when and how the Bjard of
State Canvassers shall proceed to ascertain the
final result. The Secretary of Stateis then, with
out delay, to furnish each elector appearing by
the returns ot the Board of Canvassers to be
elected, with a certificate to that effect, armed
with which the elector enters the Electoral
College.
The Board of Canvassers met last week au!
concluded their labors, aud thereupon the
Secretary of State issued his certificate to each
member appearing to have been elected. The
Electoral College met and acted iu pracise ac
cordance with the power conferred. They
were authorized to organize on Tuesday and
to fill aty vacancies in their number, and to
ballot on Wednesday. These duties having
been performed, no power can now recall into
existence the Board of Canvassers such are
the frequent decision in this State or the
Electoral College. The result mint now be
deemed the voice of this State, incapabls of
beinf; reversed by auy authority whatever.
The question may then be asked, Is there
no redress for the gross frauds which unques
tionably gave to the Seymour electoral
ticket its preponderance f The answer is
this, that the courts of this State, and those
alone, are authorized to correct such frauds
when their power is invoked in time. It was
competent for them to order, oa proof of such
frauds duly made, the issue by the Secretary
of State of certifu ites to the Grant eldotors,
under which they might have assembled on
Tuesday. But as the theory of the creation
of such a body supposes the exercise by its
members of disoretmu in casting taeir ballots,
it would be impossible to give the vote of this
State for General Grant, except by the action
of an electoral college appointed by the
State. They would be deemed thus appointed
if the State Judiciary had ordered the cer
tificate of appointment issued by the Secre
tary ot State to be withheld from the Sey
mour electors and given to those of General
Grant.
As General Grant will be pronounced elected
on the strength of precisely such certificates,
in form, as were issued by the State electors
of New York, the foundation of his authority
should not be disturbed by the action of the
Senate and House of Representatives when
they assemble in their ministerial capacity to
count the votes. If they should reject any of
the certificates issued duly by a recognized
State, on an allegation of fraud in the election,
it would amount to a clear violation of the
Constitution.
In a case like that of the Dorr rebellion, if
the de facto Government and the Dorr govern
ment had both voted and sent forward certifi
eates, it would unquestionably be proper to
reject one of them and act upon the other.
The two houses would be bound to recognize
the State Government which the General Gov
ernment recognized as the trne one. This case
furnishes, however, no precedent for not
counting the Seymour vote in this State,
however strongly they may be tainted with
the frauds in election districts which are so
generally charged and believed.
As the time between a Presidential eleotion
and the action of the Electoral College is only
four weeks, it will unquestionably be expedi
ent that every State should prescribe a sum
mary mode of correcting frauds. If frauds
caw be committed with ease, and their correc
tion is difficult and uncertain, our State elec
tions will prove that the system, in whole or
in part, is a failure such as will expose the
whole structure which rests upon it to ulti
mate ruin. The subject is too momentous not
to engage the most deliberate attention.
General Ciraut's "Foreign Folley."
Prom the N. Y. World.
The J imes had a leader, a few days since,
setting forth the great advantages which would
accrue to the country from the probable for
eign policy of General Grant. So far-fetched
a topic of encomium has a supplementive look,
and tends rather to belittle General Grant by
suggesting his deficiencies than to exalt him
in the estimation of reasonable men. It is
dressing him out in "a tawdry laced suit of
qualifications Which nature never intended
him to wear." A man who has given so
little spontaneous attention to domestic
politics of course docs not possess a statesman's
knowledge of foreign affairs. As to other
nations standing in greater awe of na in
consequence of General Graut being Presi
dent, it is the sheerest flattery. His skill as
a soldier would avail us more if he were to
remain General of the Army than in his
new position; his civil duties as President
preventing his taking active command, if a
war should occur during his administration.
We are quite secure against a foreign war for
a long period to come, unless we should be
the aggressors, and clearly in the wrong. Oar
security does not lie in General Grant's pres
tige as a soldier, but iu the prestige and
moral effect of our success in the late war,
which was conducted on so great a scale,
and furnished such a signal demonstration of
our stupendous resources and military energy.
The heioio resistance of the South ha a na
tional value in this respect as well as the in
domitable vigor aud vast resources of the
North, since both would be available in a
foreign war. The great military abilities of
Oeneral Lee would be as much at our Servian
as those of the Union generals K?eii Setum-
and tue notorious a :hieveuieuti of the Alaliaiut
aie valuable as a national reoolle itiou, m'-.-cLievous
as they were as a fait. If two or
three could ibllict such hideout destruction,
and frighten the commerce of a great nation
from the seas, what would whole lleets of sue1!
cruisers not accomplish f fleets which we
could build in our own parts, and let loo;
upon the commerce of au enemy. No matter
who might be President for the next four
years, we should be in no danger of a deuial
of justice by foreign nations. And beside, it
will not be for General Grant, but for Congress,
to dt-cide whether the country shall engage iu
war or remain at peace.
In managing our foreign relations, General
Graut will be wholly dependent upon his Sec
retary of State; and it is of gret importance
that this officer should be wisely selected.
Whtn the appointment is announoed, the
qualifications should be so preeminent and
acknowledged, that nobody would think of In
quiring why it was male. If Graut offers
this position to the fittest man in the Repub
lican party, it will be given to Charles Francis
Adams; but we have no reason to expect so
suitable a choice. The appointment oi Mr.
Adams would be wise in every view. The
firmness, high au! quick sense of national
honor, and masterly ability which he ex
hibited in the most trying anil important
diplomatic post during the war, have given
him a recognized rank among the first states
men of the world. Moreover, his appointment
would have a tranquillizing effect upou our
domestic differences. Although Mr. Adams
has bef n a steady Republican, he is respected
by the Democratic party aud by the South.
We are sorry that we cannot hope for so fit a
Selection.
While we do not expect so good an ap
pointment as Mr. Adams, we trust tb.it we
are not to have so bad a one as Mr. Sumner.
Mr. Sumner's knowledge of foreign politics is
respectable enough to suggest his name In
such a connection. He has been for a long
time the chairman of the Senate Committee of
Foreign Affairs; he has a considerable acquaint
ance with the publio men of Europe; is
conversant with diplomatic usages; has a
turn for research which would stand him iu
good stead in the questions which a Secretary
of State has occasion to investigate. But he
is a wan of great ostentation and deficient
judgment; a bigot, a pedant, a prater,
a political fanavic, with a chronic
sorenets and touchiness which make
Lim hate the South as a dog in the
agonies of hydrophobia hates water. To place
hini at the head of the Cabinet would look as
if General Graut took an unmanly pleasure
iu irritating and humiliating the South. We
trust that the country has a gvtara'i'.ee against
such an iulliction in the natural incompatibility
between such a temper as Suurjer aud that of
General Grant. The pompous arrogance aud
ostentatious display of this wer.ly rhetorician
should naturally be unpalatable, if jiot dis
gusting, to a cool, sedate, unpr,-teudinjr mn
of action, a Later of parade au! rigmarole,
like General Grant. It wa-; Sumuer who stood
np in the Senate and denounced General
Giant's report on the condition of the South as
a piece of dishonest "whit-wishing." We
are pretty safe against the calamity of his
being made Secretary of State.
The range of selection for this ofli'e ii so
narrow among Republicans with any recog
nize 1 qualifications to till it, that we cau
hardly ignore Mr. Seward 'as a possible Selec
tion. His retantiou would have at least this
advantage, that it could not be construed as
manifesting au unfriendly feeling towards the
South. Mr. Seward's large acquaintance with
our domestic politics and public men would
be of great service to a President so inexperi
enced as General Grant, owing to the fact that
he diplomatically smoothed over General
Grant's conduct in the matter which raised a
question of veracity between hini and Presi
dent Johnson. But it is ea3y, on the other
band, to discover many reasons why Mr.
Seward is not likely to be retained. II '3 only
c' ance, if he has any, lies in the conflicting
llvalfhips of inferior competitors. He may
possibly be retained because no other man
really qualified for the duties of the office is
strongly enough pressed to make it difficult
for General Grant to set aside his claims. If
Mr. Seward should be kept a few mouths be
cause General Grant does not sea his way
clear to a fit appointment, he would have a
pretty secure hold npon the office afterwards.
Our Mayor-Fleet.
From the 27. T. World.
Now that the World and the Democrats who
read and are influenced by the World have
elected Mr. A. Oakey Hall as Mayor of this
city for the coming year, and as we are thus
directly responsible for Mr. Hall and his offi
cial conduct, the Mayor-elect must understand
that he is thus put npon his very best beha
vior, unless he would compromise us as well
as himself. We candidly say at the outset
that Mr. Hall will bring to the oflije many
qualities that admirably fit him for the posi.
tion, or we certainly should not have sup
ported and elected him. He is a man of vast
versatility, and his previous occupations have
given him an insight into the needs and con
cerns of the whole city. We expeot that he
will put this experience to practical use. For
what we have done for him we reasonably
look for something in return, and as we are
responsible for Mr. Hall, we trust that he will
feel the full responsibility of both the position
in which we have placed him and the position
in which he places us.
To begin, then: Now that the election is
over there can be no harm in stating that the
city owes the rascally radical commissions
which hamper and fairly fetter us to no one
man more than to A. Oakey Hall. He did hia
best to bring these locusts upon us to eat up
our substance. To be sure, it was in the days
when he was an old line or other line Whig;
but the sins of youth can be repented in age,
and if Mr. Hall will but display one-half the
energy in getting rid of the commissions that
he did in creating them, he will do something
in the way of atonement for the past.
Next, Mr. Hall must keep a sharp eye upon
the frauds which the radicals, with little basis
but with great effect, charge upon the Demo
cracy of the city. The new Mayor must un
derstand that every job which comes np in
the City Council is not merely an assault upon
the treasury, but an attack npon the Demo
cratic party. The politics and the party which
preponderate in this city must, be preserved
In their purity. The monopoly of fraud
should be left to the commissions, the revenue
collectors, the assessors, and the radical
Federal officials generally. The whole coun
try looks to New York for the standard of
Deinooratio purity, and in the past it has not
looked in vain; the future of the Domooratio
party throughout the country depends upon
the preservation of this purity, and Mayor
elect Hall must see to it that none of his
friends or Lis enemies are permitted to sully
that purity. The World and the good oitf
zeDs who elected Mr. Hall will stand by him
in his war against corrnption in any form or
from any quarter.
In Lis new position Mr. Hall oan help us to
get rid of the corrupt commissions; he can do
something towards giving us oleau streets; he
cau assist in devising a new system of wharves
aud piers; be cau push foVward the bridge
schemes to Brooklyn and lloboken; he cau aid

to the editorship of small wejkly papers,
which are no credit to the city, citaiuly uoue
to a Mayor, and which rely for charity aud
support upon city advertising, just as the
Anti-kHaur;) Standard holds out its hands an!
its basket to Africa for coli boilei chickens.
Mr. Hall must abandon puns and pantomime,
aud leave conundrums to Anne Dickinson and
the Bryants. 'Hnmpty-Dumpty" will do
well enough for a District Attorney, but a
Mayor should turn his talents and energy to
higher efforts. Poor puns must give place to
purity in the pary, and small paper3 to great
works. The World and the Demo3rats who
elected Mr. Hall expect him to assist them in
making this city as much a mo lei in political
management as it is superior to the rural
regions in educational advantages. If Mr.
Hall is as wise as he is reputed to be witty, he
Will heed these words.
