TheBe remarks are dotibtleca very Just, and

the dippottal of the ease loug siuoe. lint it is
not surpiiniug, cotirtideriDg tbe hau ls that the
Oovemuient U in, that the cause of the Ni'm
criticism exists. It luuat bi reinetubered that
tbe alum's own party id iu povrxr. Tue admin
istration at Vahhingtou Is com posed ot tbe
Sun's own ttiends. It is the lgaoy which Mr.
Lincoln lett to purge the couutry after his no
timely taking oil'. Johnson is the man who
Was elected ou the ticket with him seleotei
aa the candidate beoauie up to that time the
most ferocious and viuduitive Jauobiu of them
all the fpoon thief of Massachuaetta baviug
been the only one who could tival him in these
qualities, andwhosecUiuistoanouaiuatiou were
Seriously considered in opposition to those of
Johnsou, in making the tse!eotion. Then, at
the bead of the State Depariment ia Seward,
the Mephfstophelea ot Liuoolu'a administra
tion as well aa of Johunou's. In the Cabinet
are Welles, McCullucb, and Randall, all ap
pointees ot Lincoln; aui Johnson, Seward, aud
all of them following iu hid footstep u(l
faithful to bia record.
It admits not of successful dispute that the
present administrdtlu is bat a continuation
and imitation ol that which preceded it.
Johnoa has cariil out Lmjolu's views, and
Ms policy would have been actiuiaa :ed ia by
the whole party, n&'i he not shown an ambi
tion to overtop other chiefs of tha party who
looked to the succession, and excited their
alarm, envy, and rivalry Tuis led to the
Split between them, aud made the division bo
wide and the opposition ao bitter, it was
leoause they were influenced, on either Bide,
by no public cous ideralioua, bat solely by
perioral ambition.
This led to the two rival schemes of recon
struction, both equally uncouatitational,
nsurpatory, aud flagitious. For this reason
we have opposed the present administration
as strenuously as we d d that which preceded
it. The latter has had no Democratic quality
more than the former. Tbe whole quarrel
between Johnson and the Hump originated iu
mutual jealousy, and haa lieen prosecated to
cain power and spoils, ilow could Democrats
take bides in such a qaarrel, or take any
further interest in it than to wish that the
parties to it would destroy each other? It ia
a cape like that which is likely to arise early
in Graut's admiuistratiou; iu which event we
Should pursue the same course towards it that
we have in reftrrnoe to the disgraceful
squabble between Johnson and the Kuinp.
In this very quality of the present Adminis
tration with which the Sun finds so much
fault, it is imitating that by which Llnoolu's
was r.rtcuuineutly distinguished at tha time
that the chief editor aijd proprietor of the San
was connected with it in a secondary capacity.
The war was got up by false pretenses, and
waa prosecuted for more than two years after
its commencement by trick, subterfuges, and
deceptions, which would bave done credit to
the skill, as it brought into play more than
the rasoality, of the most expert operator ia
any cuundenoe game ever yet invented.
The collision at Fort Sumter was brought
about by the most disreputable falsehood and
chicane ever practised by men in p'ibiio posi
tion. This was designed to inaugurate the
war under auepioea favorable to the abolition
party, by making the South the apparent
aggressor, and was successful, But this was
not the ending but only the beginning of de
ception. This got np the fUg mania. Then,
to rouse the people to arms, the cry went
forth that the capital was in danger, aud they
were nailed upon to march and save the capi
tal. The last and the standing declaration for
two years before raising the black flag of abo
lition, which, until the antuma of low, was
partially concealed under the stars and stripes,
waa that the war was prosecuted to restore
the Union, when tbe Union would never have
been endangered bat for threatened abolition,
and might at any time have been restored
Without the further tffiibion of blood, had all
designs of abolition been abandoned and dis
claimed.
But no. This was tha meaning and origin
of the party artfully couoealed for a time-
but dually disclosed when it was thought the
people had beoome Euiihiientiy exasperated to
bear it. Lincoln and bis advisers knew that
at the outset of the war it would not answer
to show the cloven foot. Hence they con
cealed its hideous deformity under a drapery
of stars and stiipes. But they were all the
time carefully au i assiduously working np
public opinion "to the sticking point," and
when this was reached, out stepped the aboli
tion demon, and be haa run riot ever since.
Here waa practised, upon a much larger and
far more criminal scale, a game which the Sun
is charging upon the present Admiulstratton.
And now, with wonderful simplicity, it says
that if this kind of deception is necessary, the
people are not capable of Belf-government,
Ve think tbey have demonstrated this most
effectually in tbe history of the last ten years.
If thev do not ppeedily come to their senses,
they are fit only to be handed over to a mon
archy. Certaiuly tbe accident of birth oouli
not do worse for us than the people have
done in electing Lincoln, Johnson, and Grant,
and It might do inuou "etter.
Tlie Franking Abuse.
J5Vo the N. Y. Tribune.
We hope CoDgress will make haste, if not
to abolish the tmnKing privilege miogeiuer,
lnRt to cnard against its abuse, lue fraos-
Ibk system has now reached such proportions
i,ut members of CoDcrresa have no longer time
to write their names upon the multitude ot
dioumenta which they seud free through the
n. i.nf ii . staruD instead. The franking
DrivilVge was designed to cover the ofluul
correfpondence of Congressmen with ollicera

T) fwr-
bwolVn to proba'-ly teu times its

shop. There is a legend of a Congresmaa
from the far Southwest, in the days before the
war, wbo used to frank his soiled linen home to
be washed. We know that Mr. Bro )k dissemi
nates circulars advertising the New York tx
prt by means of his printed frauk, and Mr.
Demas Barnts sends out prioe-lUU of his
'MuBtang L'niments" and 'Soothing Syropi."
Congressman O'Neill of Pennsylvania haa re
cently been fonnd franking all over the coun
try a good tbiok pamphlet published by tu
Union League ot Philadelphia, and labelling
it, by a pleasing freedom of language, a "Pub.
Deo." We dare say the book oontained a
great deal mora useful information than nine
out of ten documents issued from the Govern
ment Printing Office; but it was not a punllo
document for all that, and if Mr. O'Neill
wanted to send copies of it through the mail he
ought to have paid the postage, as any private
gentleman would. During the last election
canvass, it was ootnmon for Congressman who
were candidates for re-election to frank ballots
and addresses all through their district; aui
we know of at least one case in which, by
some prrcers of legerdemain which we do not
pro'efs to understand, tbe printed frank of a
candidate was tued to cover the ballots of his
opponent. It is not easy to see how the privi
lege can be conliued strictly within its legiti
mate limits, if there is auythiug lgitiuia'e
about it; but if Congress will not abolish it
altogether, it might at least forbid the use of
printed fraoks, and the application of written
tLts to any but ollkial letters aud djoutnanW.
Sir. Ijiicli's Kctuuipiion Dill.
Frowi the If. Y. Tribune.
Representative John Lynch, of Maine pro
poses two measures designed to elfact a return
to specie payments, upon which we are a&ked
to express our views.
Ihe Urst consists of an act entitled "lo
provide acainst undue expansions and contrac
tions of the currency, aud proposes to issue
53(10,000,000 of new coupon bouds, payable ia
currency on demand, with iuterest, also iu
currency, at 4 per cent, per auuuui, payable
qnaiterly, and subject to Mate, muuicipal,
and local taxation, issuable for par in cur
rency, reissuable by the Secretary of the
Ireasury at anytime within ten years if re
ceived by him, and to be redeemed at the end
of twenty years in coin. This provides for a
loan which, being payable principal and inte
rest in ourrenoy, and subject to local taxa
tion, we judge would be worth, while Five
twenties are at 78, say 50 cents on the dollar
in gold. No possible relation exists between
the provisions ot this act and the functions
ascribed to it in its title, viz., "to provide
agaiutt expansions aud contractions of the
currency." Congress might pa?s this act, and
on the very next day another for any amount
of additional currency. It might with equal
propr e'y Lave been entitled ''An aot to
prevent the tides from risiug on S mday."
J be second measure is entitled "A hill to
provide for the gradual resumption of specie
payments." It provides that, after a given
date, say May 1, 180!), the Government shall
destroy all United States notes "when received
in the course of ordinary transactions," t. ,
for revenue, sales of laudH, settlements ot
accounts, etc., and in lieu thereof issue new
Lnittd States notes of like denominations to
those destroyed, payable after one year, in
coin, on demand; all National Dank Notes re-
ceivtd by the Treasury shall be redeemed by
their banks in "greenbacks," and the latter
destroyed in like manner. As no provision is
made lor selling these notes, it ia assumed that
they are to be paid out in the ordinary ex
penses of the Government for sauries, con
tracts, the war and navy service, etc. Mr.
Lynch estimates that, as tbe Treasury receives
and pays out in enrrent expenses say $180,000,-
(JUO a year, or at tbe rate ot $l.r 000,000 per
month, his plan would cause this entire sum
in ene year to be changed from greenbacks
into notes payable in one year in con. These
new notes would be paid out at the rata of
$15,000,000 a mouth during the first year, and
wonld fall due at tbe same rate during the
Second year of the working of the plan.
We eo cot wish to discourage any feature
of value in this bill, but we suggest the iol
lowing queries:
I. Would not the payment of the members
of Congress, offi' ers, contractors, clerks, sol
diers, sailors, and other benetuuaries of the
Govornment, in notes due ia coin in one
year, while the producers and tax-payers are
still nsing the old National Bank note and
greenback enrrrncy, amount to an immediate
addition of about twenty per cent, to the pay
of all Federal officers ? and would not the new
notes to be issued under this act bear a pre
mium of about twenty per cent, over the
remaining currency of the country ?
11. bo long as they bear a premium, would
they not, like gold, be hoarded for payment
in gold ? and would not so great a reduction
in the volume of tbe currenoy as the abstrac
tion of $180,000,000 a year by the Govern
ment, without any ou. How of a currenoy hav-
mg the same value as the National Bank
notes, the old legal tenders, and the general
'money of acoonnt" in use in business, oc
casion such a stringency of the money mar
ket as would compel the abandonment of the
plan r
111. Would the psople submit to, or ba bene
fited by, a plan which adds twenty per cent,
gold, value to the expense of the Government
and the salaries of its din ers, while it tight
ens the money market with tremendous force
on the merchants, manufacturer, aud business
community f
IV. Would not the new notes be a fancy
stock for politicians instead of a currency for
tbe peoplB 1
V. Would it be feasible to require the na
tional banks or the people to jedeem their
debts in these new notes, when there is no
provision by which they may get them, unless
they are employed by the Government f
VI. Can specie payments be resumed by
any measures which do not enable the people
ana tie panns to returner
There may be points iu Mr. Lynch's plan
which, in combination with others of which it
makes no mention, would do well enough.
But it is very incomplete, and of itself would
not work well.
Tarty Kulc Iu L'ulaml.
From the N. T. Timet.
What would be said and thought of General
Grant if be should offer Senator Doolittle a
place in his Cabinet ? Can any man imagine
the curses, both load and deep, that would
be poured out upon him ? The services he
baa rendered the country would be forgotten.
The faith the poo pie now have ia his honesty
and good sense would disappear. He would
be Instantly branded as a traitor to the party
(which is the highest ollense known to our
political code), and as false to his principles
and to the men who have put him in power.
Yet thia is almost exactly what the Liberal
party in England has done in forming the new
Cabinet. Mr. Gladstone as its leader, aud as
the actual Executive of the British Govern
ment, tilers the plaoe of Chancellor of the Ex
chequer to Robert Lowe, formerly a Liberal,
but wbo turned against the party on the Re
form bill two years ago, who assailed that
meaenre with greater vigor, ability, and rancor
than Air. uouiitue has ever shown iu attack
li g reconstruction, and who, from that day to
this, lias been "outside the party," though he
has Lot acted so openly with its opponents as
t. t .. mil ' r l ' " 1 V t
Mr. Gladstone appreciates so highly his talents
and the influence whloh they give him and
wonld so much rather have him for a friend
than a foe that he tender him the very best
position in the Cabinet under his iuoomlng
administration.
Th s will probably be regarded as proof of
the slight progress bogland has actually made
in the soleuoe of party government, ia spite
nf the Reform bill, as compared with the
United States. That the party which ia suc
cessful in the election, and which thus has ab
solute control of all the patronage and power
of the Government, should actually give a
high position to a man who refused to go
with it on a cardinal measure of party policy,
shows how Utile that party knows of the car
dinal max'maof party rule or the real secrets
of pariy strength.
It snch tblrgs are to be done with Impunity,
what beoomcs of the well-kuowu priuclple
adop'ed now by all parties in this couutry
that "to tbe victors belong the spoils r" 11 iw
can a party be expected to main ain itself if it
is to be thus out off from the full breasts of
Govertment patroDauef What encourage
ment bate politicians to work for a prty vic
tory if they s-e so large a slice of its rewards
coolly banded over to a renegade to one who
deserts tbe party because be cunot in i jrse Us
acts? What r'ght has any party man to a
judgment or a cousoieuoe of bis owu r W j it
business has lie to "eet up for hiiuself" to
act upon bis own convioiious of duty, instead
of following in the train of his party content
to obey its behests aud to ask no questions f
Mr. Gladstone comes into power with an
immense majority quite as larga in propor
tion as General Grant will have, and almost
as large as the Republicans had two years
ago. It is not likely that Mr. Lowe could
damage his ssoendauoy in any way, if he were
"Jelt out in the cold," as, on all grounds of
party discipline, be ought to be nor will he
probably add to his present mMorlty if a
Cabinet place is letowed upon him. But
Mr. loadstone is evidently under the impres
sion that tbe strength of a party does not con
sist wholly In the number of its votes that
talent, deba'iug power, sagacity, aud high
peisonal cuaraoier stilt count tor somethiug
even to a party which is largely in the ascend
ant. We have got over all such obsolete
ideas in this country. When a party has a
lare majority of votes it can do anything it
likes it needs nobody's support, and scorns
to look outside its owu p try hues for help.
All it has to do is to feed its own followers
well, and see to it that not even the smallest
"nubbin" of patronage falla to anybody who
is outside tliM party loll.
In this country parly is tho rnliDg power.
Tbe Government is uoihing but the party.
Whatever aids the party, ai fs the Govern
ment; and whatever don't, don't. Tue ouly
proper and legitimate mode of aiding the
HovernuuDt, therefore, is to aid the party.
Whatever does that is all right; whatever
dou't do that is albwrong. This fuudamentil
principle of popular government evidently
has not yet penetrated the stolid British
mind. Parties iu England, especially, think it
worth while to conciliate and compel the con
fidence and support of their opponents as
well as of their staunch supporters. The
general sentiment of the whole country
seems to them Worth something, and they try
to set it on their side.
They will get, over this in due time. They
will presently fiod out that it is quite useless
to pay the slightest attention of any sort to
anybody or any class but those wuo have
been their staunch and consistent frieuds. And
as t'.) a.-kiug anybody else to aii in carrying
on the Government, and giving them the
smallest crumb or morsel of Government
patronage, the day will soon come iu KugUnd,
as it has already come here, when the caitiff
wbo shall hint at such a thing will be deemed
too base and unprincipled to come iu contact
in any way with the leaders an i guides of
political arialrs. We bave no doubt Mr. Glad
stone will be thoroughly bastinadoed by the
"earnest men" of his own party for the infi
delity to ita faith and ita interests shown in
inviting Mr. Lowe to a seat in the new Cabinet.
Five KcToiistruclea" Stales.
From the iV. T. World.
The chief points in General Meade's report
are that tbe pretended Constitution of Ala
bama was fairly defeated, "and that the rejec
tion was based on the merits of the Constitu
tion itself;" that the pretended Constitution of
Florida is his handiwork; that he dou't like
the pretended Governor of Georgia; that not
enough test-oath men in his pashalio can be
found to till the oflices; that the first thing the
bogus Governors did was to call ou him ft r
troops, and that they have been calling ever
since; and, finally, mat be wants more power.
"I take this occasion to call the attention of
the General in-Chief, and IhroutfU hliu luo-e
