- The Era or Uood Feellngr.
Fi om the if. IT. ZYttmtM.
The Saraanab. Jicmhlican, In an effort to
how "what la neceesary to an era of good
feeling," argues that the North mast Bar
reader certain "irlnas" of convictions vrhioh
now occupy the Nor hern mind. The consti
tutional difficulty with our Southern brethren
is that ther always demand the surrender of
that which in its nature U Incapable of being
surrendered. If they would merely ask a
change in oar laws or a surrender of oar
purees, we mght gratify them. Bat in de
manding a ohange in our "ideas" and convic
tions of right or of relative excellence, they
are asking the only thing it is impossible for
us to grant. The first idea we are oalled on
to surrender is stated to be "the desire on the
part of the North, for purposes of their own,
to force the Southern people to discard the
old bond of nuion, and enter into a new one
with them, never contemplated in the forma
tion of the Government, or proposed until the
physical preponderance was proved to be
against us." This assumes that the "old
bond of union," was one in which the State
bad the right to secede. Our Southern trienda
will witness the era of good feeling loog be
fore the North sanction the right of secession.
!The k'eptiblican't eeooud requirement is, of
course, that we shall allow none but the Kebdls
of the South to vote. It says:
"l'iie Norm goes even further than this. She
lnitlHU tbule shall oigaulze a sooieiy la laa
Bon I U aau come uuder l.ue Jurisdiction of laws
that have no force or xldeuue itt ibe North. In
olber worcla, IuhI li ene aliall be oue kind of
government fur the 8ouiU aud auoluer kind for
the Norlb, and mill bo'b cod lliiue to ex 1m t to
gether as oue boiuoKtiieoim political society. Is
lurhuit einand Just? . Is It even coubiatent wltli
reasoijt"
The falsehood of tbia statement consists in
assuming that "the South" Includes ouly the
Democrats of the Sautu, and that the legisla
tive inaotion of the Noith relative to negro
suffrage here expresses the conscience of the
same Republican party which has granted im
partial suffrage to the South. The assumption
that the South opposes negro suffrage over
looks two fifths of the people of the South
who desire it. The assumption that "the
North" intends to grant suffrage to the negro
at the Sonth and not at the North overlooks
the fact that the whole Democratic party of
the North opposes negro suffrage everywhere
alike, and nine-tenths of the Republican party
favors it everywhere al ke. The remaining
tenth of the Republican party, combining
with the Democraiio party, retard bat cannot
long prevent suffrage Irom being without dis
tinction of color. Meanwhile, it is the Repub
lican party South and North that extends the
suffrage, and it is the Democratic party that
delays its extension without regard to locality.
The Republican party would find it difficult to
surrender any 01 those fundamental ideas of
political equality on which its very existence
depends and by which alt its suooess has
been won. Nor are political parties prone to
surrender the ideas which make tLeut vic
torious. We beseech our Southern friends, there
fore, not to postpone the "era of good feel
ing" so long. We are ready to help the South
whh workipg men, intelligent, highly edu
cated women, plenty of capital to reconstruct
its plantations, develop its mines, and start
its manufactories, rebuild its ruined railroads,
and convert its wilderness into a garden. Bat
the first essential to a genuine era of good
feeling must be that everybody shall bo in
vited. The Calvinistio theory, according to
which an essential element in the enjoyment
of the eleot is to be the contemplation of the
distinguishing grace which has selected them
for exalted bliss, while others, no more na
deserviug, are consigned to unspeakable wos,
may do very well in theology as a theory of
the next life, but it does not answer in poli
tics, or aa a model for government. At least
having tried it, and abolished it, we are not
hankering to return to it. Another condition of
the "era of good feeling" must be that every
body bhallLave leave to tell whether he feels
well or ill. This involves that freedom of
speech, of the press, and of thought, of
which southern .Democrats navenot been the
most consistent champions.
We are fully conscious that we need to re
store in the South an era of good feeling. To
this end the chief means must be to make
Southern industry profitable, and the Southern
working class free, not only from all human
masters, bat from the most inhuman of all
masters want. Adam Smith argues that
slavery arises whenever two men are seeking
one master. Freedom begins only when two
masters are seeking to employ the labor of one
man. The South has the cotton, the oheap
labor, the water and coal power, the brains,
the demand, and no small share of the capital
necessary to set rnmiiog fifty thousand ootton
manufactories and twenty million spindles
This would reverse the present oondition of
both blacks and whites at the South. Where
now ten helpless laborers are seeking to be
employed by one master, there would then be
two masters competing for the labor of one
man. Herein lies true freedom for the work-
ins olass, rapid increase in wealth for all
classes, and that general "era of good feeling"
for which the South is looking. But to this
end there must be peace, protection to capital
and labor, anl a vigorous suppression of Ku-
Klux-Klans and the entire "mob and mirder"
spirit. Will the Savannah liepublican labor to
bring about these conditions of the "era of
good feelingf"
Conrcnieut Ignorance of the Indian
Hun.au.
From (he N. Y. Time.
Theie used to be a somewhat malicious sav
ingr daring the Rebellion, that, whenever news
came of a Union defeat, its details were told in
the largest oapitala by certain of the Northern
press; on the other haid, when the tidings
were of victory, "no particulars have yet been
received.",
Without pushing the parallel too far, we
must yet protest that, invariably, when news
has come from the l'Ulns of a horrible mas
sacre oommitted by the Indiana (like the Fet
terman slaughter, or those on the Solomon.
Saline, and Republ can forks), or, of a well-
deserved "salty dose ' admiustered to them,
like Forsyth's 11 Ut or Caster's battle, the
Indian Bureau receives "no particulars at this
omce confirming tne rumor." isui let mere
be some Bhortcomiug or crime ou our
part, a Hancock campaign or a Chivington
massaore, and full details reach the sain)
Bureau in seven-leagued boots.
To apply this generalization more specially,
we find tbat, tn tbe race of the two official re
ports of General Sheridan, and the two of
General Sherman, announoins the late vie
tory on the Wacbita, the Indian bureau re-
Sorts that "no particulars have been reoelve i
eie." Nor is this all. It starts the old ory
of "flaughteiing the innocents," and oUUm
that the Indians who were punished hal never
uen hostile.
But what are the facts? They are, first,
Ifcat the bands attacked were Cheyenuis, Ar
jr.; r.Lcts r.cl KI;t?.:. TL?:;e thrvs .rU'.'U
(together with the Camanob.es) were
ones asainBt whom the oampaiau was
directed. Next, we have the word of Qenarai
Sheridan himself, twice repeated, that Blaok
Kettle's baud was the one that commenced
the robbery and murder, the ranche-baraing,
cattle-stealing, train-plundering, mall-breaking
raids on bolomon'a creek, and thereabouts,
tarty in last summer. Next, we have Gene
ral Sherman's repetition of this Identification.
Finally, we have General Caster's assurance
tbat the party he attacked had Just eome from
the North; he struck their fresh trail near the
Antelope hills.
War is cruelty at best; war with a different
raoe of men, of different principles, manners,
and language, and habitually using these dif
ferences for deceit with a savage raoe, that
gives no quarter except for selfish ends, and
has untold horrors in its records, orying for
vengeance war under such clronmstanoes U
apt to be fierce and terrible. But it is unwise
and unjust to endeavor to strike down the
uplifted arm of onr own soldiers. They are
defenders, not aggressors defenders of the
frontier, of the settlers, of the families of
pioneers, of our railroads, and of the general
march of civilization. They are the guardi of
our national progress, the polioe of the Plains.
To represent them as bloody butchers la line
maligning our Metropolitan Police for patting
down a mob or unearthing a gang of cat-
throats.
This device of the Indian Bureau is evi
dently designed as a counter-stroke to Cus
ter's victory. The waning prestige of the
Bnrean needs to be supported. The army
and the agents have hitherto been rivals for
the care of the Indians, and the Bureau reads
the doom of its policy in the reoonitnendation
of General Grant to transfer it from the Inte
rior to the War Department. We do not be
lieve its devices for a fresh lease of power will
influence Congress.
Jfnrkos Civil Service Bill.
From the If. I. World.
But the essential work the bill proposes to
do is to prevent Ibe appointment 01 Incompe
tent perhona to ttuboruiuate positions la ibe
executive departments. It aims to uu tbU by
profiling ttiut all eucn appuiuiuieuls snail be
mane iroiu among muse persons woo c.u provd
tbelr competency under n lair exutnluallou.
Abuolutuieuia to oluoe in tue executive
departments are now geueruly made ou tue
recommendation of prominent politicians,
especially of members of Congress, witu uu
teleitnce al ail to oiuptteucy. 'roe nest
accountant in tbe United biaies would have uu
cliauce whatever ot afcttluu Into tue civil ser
vice of the couutry, uuder the prtsent system,
Without political lLilueuoe." tivcnivg foil.
There can be no doubt that the Civil Service
bill ot Mr. Jenckes is based on a theory which,
it not overworked, will be useful in practical
operation. But if the measure is to bs per
manent, it is important that the country shall
not be misled as to what has already beeu
done by law in the way of competitive exami
nation. If appointments are now made to
office in the executive departments "with no
reference at all to competency," as the 1'ont
asEeitp, there Is palpable violation of existing
laws on the subject. Ever einoe Maroh, 1853,
there has been upon the Federal statute-book
a law arranging clerks into four classes, with
fixed salaries, according to class, varjiog in the
relation of vine, twelve, fifteen, and eighteea.
The aot of 1853 also provides: ,
"No clerx shall be appointed In rither of the
four daises nnill after bo hs been examined
and found Qualified by a board, to consist ot
tbiee examiners, oue of them to be tne chief of
Ibe bureau or olilce into wuiob he is to be ap
pointed, and tbe tsvo others to be selects-1 by
tbe bead of the department, to which the said
clerk will be assigned."
If a law can prevent the appointment of in
competent persons to subordinate positions,
why is not the above adapted to the end iu
view T It certainly contemplates a proving of
competency "under a lair examination." No
Republican will assume that General Grant
will be found wantirjg as an executor of this
law. Take, for example, the Treasury Depart
ment. tie will appoint a competent Secretary
for that branch of the government, who is
mindful of the law of 1S53. and will be oareful
in selecting two fit persons to be members of
the examining board; and the President him-
eelf wi 1 look to see that there are competent
chiefs of bureaus, one of whom is to be the
other man. No man, certainly, can be more
interested in having suitable subordinates than
the chief who Is responsible for his bureau.
It may be said that the existing law fixes no
standard of competency, and that thus far the
examining boards have made it too low.
Granted; but General Grant, with hia heads
of departments, can easily remedy that diffi
culty.
We think, however, that when we come to
require a very high standard of qualifications
we shall find existing salaries altogether in
adequate. We remember that when tbe late
Mr. Odell was in the Naval Office of the Cus
tom House of this city, he had one or two
vaoancies to fill. The duties to be performed
required aocaracy, expertness, and fidelity as
an accountant, lie set a high standard of
fitneps at first, bat in the end he was oompelled
to abandon it because banks and mercantile
houses would pay twice as much salary aa the
uovernment allowed.
It is undoubtedly true that the larger share
of uovernment offices, outside of the inoutn
bents who are confirmed by the Senate, do
not require for the due discharge of their
functions a very high order of capacity. In
tegrity is always needed, of course. The
ranee of work of each clerk is, however, ex
tremely limited; and the danger is tbat, if
men are appointed to the inferior places who
are really above the work they are required
to perform, we shall get a class of verr annoy
ing people in office, who will pester (their
superiors for promotion and Congress for
more pay.
It may be said that removals for political
causes are wrong. Here again General Grant
is all powerful to make a reform. But, some
one replies, how can we expect the new Presi
dent to retain In office men who have honestly
qaeEtiont-d his fitness, and so have every mo
tive to embarrass his measures of reform f
How, we answer, will Mr. Jenckes' bill remedy
or prevent thia state of things T Suppose
his bill becomes a law, clerks are appointed
nnder it, and at the next Presidential eleotion
these clerks take the same coarse towards the
successful candidate aud hia party aa the
present clerks may have done towards Gene
ral Grant t Do we not at last come down to
this, that it is impossible to prevent the re
moval of Government clerks who will not be
content with voting, but must make them
selvts during eleoiions noisy, brawling, ve
nomous partisans f
Aud, besides, we are of 0 tnion that, with
proper salaries, all this difficulty about incom
petent clerks will disappear if we can have
tbe right men in high places. A good ohief of
bureau will demand good clerks, and a good
head of department will see that he has them.
We do not intend to decide here dogmati
cally upon the m-rlts or demerits of Mr.
Jenckes' bill, but ouly wish to suggest topics
of thought aud discussion in refereuce thereto.
The rci'snnnel of the Xew Parliament.
From the London Saturday Review.
Mr. Gladstone has long prom'ssd himself
ana tue country mat our aiuira would be con
ducted under a "more earnest rtgime" when
we had a new Parliament. W are already in
a position to anoertaia whethor this antluipi
ti' U hRg h'ep fulfl'.lv A, Uarjyrctn-ss. is s. g...n-
the very I prehensive, and therefore a misleading, word,
s chle fly . I Earnest people, are a repent -invention, I ke
"brave imndi" and "forthright spirits" and
"workers for man." We do not profess en
tirely to understand what is called earnt
nets; though w dare to say that, when Mr.
Gladstone thought of earnestness, he was
thinking of Mr. Gladstone. - What is certain
is tbat we shall have a Parliament pledged by
an overwhelming majority to Gladstonism,
and Mr. Gladstone is earnest, terribly earnest
as earnest In palling oa his gloves as in
disestablishing a Church. Uue thing we
can understand about Mr. Gladstone's
earnestness it is his gravity. And oar
new Parliament is likely to be grave
enough. Mr. Bernal Osborne's ready wit
ill te absent irom it; serjeaui uaseise
ill no longer provoke aud poke fun; Mr.
Darhv Griffith, the irrepressible bait who had
the knack of making boredom diverting, his
disappeared from the list of senators; and,
worst of all, Air. uoebunx s vitnouo and ear-
castio powers of offense have so f r offended
Lis constituents that they have preferred dull
ness to genius, and a delegate to the most la
dependent politician of the dir. The Home is
likely ..to be dull enough, and, as earnestness
takes the fotm of dullutss, Mr. Gladstone has
ro far been proved to be right. If, as seems
likely, Mr. Whalley on the one hide and Mr.
John Hardy oh the other will have to do all
the woik of making or suggesting Jjkas, Par
liament men may look out for a very dreary
time of it under a Premier who is as unsus
ceptible ot wit as a Scotchman. The occasion
may perhaps stimulate Mr. Disraeli to recur
to bis old vein, and his gracioas fooling at
Guildhall seems to show that olfine has sup
pressed, but not extinguished, his original
powers in playing the fool, aud playing the
fool admirably.
The next Parliament will, therefore, be de
ficient in wit. Atd iu auother aspect the con
stituencies have gone in tor earnestness.
Earnestness, according to the cheap newspa
pers, ia an enemy to tneory and speculation.
An earnest man must be a practical man;
above all, he must not have a rag of philoso
phy about him. Englishmen, they tell us, are
an unpuuosopmcai race; maiapuysios tuey can
n-ULer abide nor uuderstaud; tuey want
things done, and first principles, or any ab
stract grounds for policy, they resent aa au
insult. This reckiiaui-ouinibua view ot a
penator's qualifications has certainly prevailed.
Of all the classes of candidates who have suf
fered most severely, the doctrinal en have been
hit the hardest. Not only is Mr. Stuart Mill
rejected, and by the most decisive defeat, at
the Lauds of a constituency which used to be
conbidered a sort of touchstone of political
feeling, but the educated and extremely
earnest class whose noble lunution was to
Justify radicalism by philosophy, history,
and the assertion oi abstract rignts, nave
only succeeded in retumiog Mr. Hughes the
novellot for a seat wbioh almost preserves the
memories of a pocket borough; aud Mr. Faw
cett, the Cambridge economist. Not ouly
Lave the doctrinaires failed themselves, but
their advocacy has been signally detrimental
to their pupus and c.ieuts. Dr. baud with
bad the micfortune to be leotared for by Pro
fessors aud Oxford savans, aud Marylebone"
has preferred not to take the advice or dicta
tion of its guides, philosophers, and rrieuds.
Mr. Brodrick, Mr. Roundell, Sir George Young,
and Mr. Lushingtou have not bseu able to
bring into the House an element of thought
which no deliberative assembly can afford to
dispense with or despise, and which m'gtit
have stood them in better stead at the hust
ings had the respective constituencies been
less irritated by advice and dbtatiou
Irom academic and tutorial quarters.
Something of Mr. Chaiwick's defeat at
Kilmarnock may be attributed to Mr. tlill's
cflirnsive interference with the editors; but the
general failure of this class of candidates oan
only be aocounted for by a rooted aversion ou
the part of the electors to what they consider,
with or without justice, diotavion on the part
of the sophists. Tne Parliamentary j a ry has
bteu struck on the principle known ia the
courts 88 knocking the brains out or it.
In anotuer direction the electors have
shown a remarkable disability to profit by
new lights. In one respect the new Parlia
ment is likely to be more dogged aud pertina
cious against innovations thau any of Its pre
decessors. For good or for evil, the new
House not. only perpetuates, bat exaggerate i,
the ckaracier, be they the fault or tne excel
lences, of their predecessors. The tradesman
and iyicitr mind has it all its own way, and it
seems to come to come to this, that the trades
man who ia superseded, and the artisan who
rales, are scarcely varieties of the same type
of mind, or narrowness. A vast ma
jority of Liberals has been returned,
but they are all of the Liberal type; rich
tradesmen, hereditary Whigs, and the old
membsrs make up most of Mr. Gladstone's
supporters. The bhirt-eleeves and the working-men
candidates have not stood the slight
est chance; the fate of Cremer and Odger aud
Uartwell and Howell and Colonel Dixon and
Ernest Jones and, above all, of Mr. Beales,
the President of the Reform League, attests,
either the proverbial ingratitude of the oiti
zens to successful demagogues, or a more
creditable disinclination on the part of the
electors to entruBt the destinies of the empire
to those who might have their uses in agita
tion, in handling mobs aud processions, and
pulling down park rails, bat in no posltiou
more creditable or responsible. What is
even more curious is, that though the elections
have gone so completely against the Irish
Church, they have aloo proved ho strong is the
conviction or prejudice against fanatical dis
tent. Mtrely to be a representative of strong
or exceptional views iu religion has been gene
rally fatal to a candidate. Unfortunately this
deggtd old-fasulontd aversion to innovation in
religion has kept out of Parliament such men
as Sir John Actn and Lord El ward Howard,
representing, as they do, tbe very best aspect
ot Kngllsh Romanitm; but, on the other band,
it has also rejected Mr. Miall and Mr. Handel
tossham, with whose views, extreme as they
are, it would be insulting to bracket the inso
lence of Bradlaugb, whose only claims to dis
tinction of any sort were the avowal of an
atheism more vulgar, more mocking, and more
audacious than that of such extinct monsters
as Carlile and the Devil's Chaplain of five-and-
thirty years ago. Aud, to complete the proof
of the prevailing antipathy to sectarian re
presentation, it is curious enough tbat, when
the minority clause ejected one Liberal from
the city, it was found tbat tne least popu
lar of the old representatives was Baron
Rothschild, who for so many years had
retained his seat merely because his entranoe
into a religious profession was by auother rite
than that of baptism. It was certainly high
time to eleot a City member on other qualifi
cations than that of being a Jew; but ouly not
to beloug to the Church has stood oaudidates
in as little stead as only not to be a Christian,
and we might almost say that the eleotors
have exhibited equal impartiality against all
Jews, Turks, infidels, aud heretics. Whoever
has gained, the Liberation Society has lost.
Are we wrong in attributing to the same
popular, and iu some Reuse bigoted, reslBtauo
to being preacned at, dictated to, lectured, ad
vised, and sermonized, the distaste with which
lawyers generally, aud the Tory lawyers ia
particular, have been visited f The rout Is
here-tlgiml and couipk-te. Sir Rjiiudrfl l'al
iu, iU It. CtlU'.r, and Mr, Ct'ltfu''? turnr
to represent the highest Walk of legal uistino
tkn ;and Mr. Gladstone can flit htsoffiws,
while it will be come relief to the outgoing
Minister that his -Attorney and 8oiioltor will
be relieved from the cares of office so soon
after i they have been, obliged to forego the
honors of Parliament.' The Reoorder atands
almost alone as the solitary representative of
Tory lawyers amid the universal wrejk. To
belong to a learned profession, and to hold ex
treme opinions on any point, have bsen gone
rally considered Parliamentary disqualifica
tions. Regrettable as this is, it ia only the
Parish Vestry view of things, which the Re
form act, we are assured, was to get rtd of.
No doubt the new Parliament falthfally
enough reflects the national will. The
borough numbers have been elected to do a
certain and distinct and precise work, which
is simple enough, and does not require mdoh
refinement, much reflection, much, if any,
independence. What seems to be tne
taste of the borough voters is
little thought, no philosophy, no
geiiiu, no originality, no "viewluess," no
largeness of conception. Suoh is the work,
and such the iurdruuients. They will do the
woik in a doll, business-like, commonplace,
obedient sort of way. If Mr. Gladstone ia to
be earnest, tbe Parliament will bj earnest
with all tbe merits and all the drawbacks of
earnestness. They used to give nicknames to
Parliaments; tbe new oue may perhaps get to
be deemed, if it is not called, f'arhamentum
losaicum. Small fear of its beinir run away
wi h by ita own impetuot-ity. Sir. Disra-li,
Mr. Bright, and Mr. Lowe, pretty nearly
exhaust all its genius. It may turn oat as by
rulddDg two bits of dry wood together you get
spaiks, and at last a flame, tbere inty be
latent qualities ot beat iu some of our uutried
seuators wLich will give us 'some day a little
Pailiamentary brilliancy, and posribly some
thing like originality. One thing was needed
to be a f uoceselul candidate ia a large borough
constituency, aud tbat one thing was obedi
ence to Mr. Gladstone. For all the rest th-
more moderate, perhaps the more
stupid, a candidate was, the bet
ter was Lis chance. Mr. Uorsman was the
kind of candidate who stood, as he has found,
the least chance. The constituencies are not
tbe ouly thing which has been levelled and
brought to a dull Hat; tbe voters seem to have
been possessed with something of the spirit of
the old Oxford tutor who declared that he
would have nothing to do with "those damned
intellectuals." The "stupid party" of late
years seems likely to be henceforth con
fronted by a party strong as in everything, so
especially in ita dullness. Like Pope's
women, Parliaments may come to have no
cbaraoter at all; aud it is, after all, not so un
natural though it was not quite expeoted,
and certainly the reverse of it was promised
tbat tbe House of Commons should so faith
fully reproduce the narrowness and stiffness,
tbe obstinacy and the unarguiug, if solid
perhaps stolid, convictions of the untrained
English mind. Satiety has produced apathy,
and the frenzy of exuitement under which the
contest was begun has subsided into a general
distaste, if not disgust, for promised or threat
ened revolutions and innovations.
