(Jcnoral tfratit and His Appointment to
I'utillc OMce.
From the W. Y. Time.
We have bdard a startling report concern
ing General Grant's intention iu making ap
pointments to office, lie la reported to have
-said that he Intends to pick oat for ofHoe the
men who will best do what ueeds to be done;
and that, while ho doea not intend to go oat
Bide the Republican partj, as a general thiug,
he will attach no importance whatever to
mere party services either in nominations or
eleotions. . , , ...
Buoh a plan of action as this will carry con
sternation through the great and noble army
of i.ffioe-eeekers. There are probab y not
less than half a million of mn in the United
States who expect to get appointments to
office, on the strength ot service rendered in
some form or other, and at some time or
Other, to the Republican party and its nomi
nees. About half ot them probably think,
and will claim, that they were the first to
nominate General Grant for President; the
Other half will be prepared to prove that
nothing but their efforts saved the town, the
county, and the State in which they live from
voting against him. They have all spunt
time, money, and strength in securing his
election, and they all agree that such efforts
and such sacrifices can only ba fl'.Iy lejaited
by an office not a big one, perhaps tlwy will
be modest enough to say, but one that will
give them a eomtorUble support, and enable
them to lay up a little something for a rainy
day. And certificates of such service, duly
attested by local committees, by leaders of
the party, by members of Congress and other
men of credit and renown, are now iu circu
lation for fresh signatures, iu every town and
village and at every cross-roada hamiol
throughout the country.
Is it possible that all this is to go for
naught? Must all this labor be waited?
Will these credentials and recommendations
be thrown aside as of no avail in the grand
scramble for ollL-e f The hire possibility that
General Grant may prove thus ungrateful to
his friends, and thus oblivions of their services
and claims, will incliue thousands of them to
forswear politics altogether, and let the party
and the country go to the dogs in their 010
way which some perhnps will think a batter
way on the whole than tua'. which these hun
gry politiclpus would pteter. Bat that both
the party and the country will go to the dogs,
if any such policy as this is lolloped by Gene
ral Grant, the politioiaus of the class iu ques
tion will all moet vehemently assert and sin
oerely believe. No party, they will assure
you, can possibly live which dovs not take
oare of its friends. What motive has anybody
to work for a party which will not reward
those who work fur it by giving them office f
llow can a party be kepi alive aud built up
and made strong but by jut such etforts and
why should anybody innk biu-li tffjrts if they
are to get nothing iu return f
These are Very practical questions, and
they will put, with terrible earnestness, to
General Grant, more or l-s direatly, by a
great many thousands of his friends before he
has been in office a ringle mouth. Nor oau it
be doubted that there is a good deal of force
in them. A political party can only be kept
up by a great deal ot hard work, and the
amount of time and bnergy and toil given to
political parties in this country is enormous.
A great deal of it is gratuitous given by men
from the interest they really feel in the
government of the country. Bat probably
the greater part of the work, that whioh tells
mobt directly and powerfully ou the result, is
done by men who cannot affjrd
the time it costs, aud who do it in
the hope of getting an office whioh shall reward
their labor and make up for the time
and money they have spent. And one of the
worst results of the prevalent By item of dis
tributing cflioe as a reward for party service
is, that it builds np this olass of professional
politicians that it increases the number of
those who look to political work as a regular
reliance, and abandon all other modes and
forms of industry. The existence of a large
class of men with whom politics is a business,
and who seek in public olBoe the reward for
their labor, is always injurious in any country.
It is always a source of corruption, operates
always as an obstacle to needd reforms, and
greatly enfeebles the administration of gov
ernment and the execution of the laws.
While General Grant will not, we are con
fident, be unmindful of the merits and just
claims of those who have rendered valuable
service to the party in power, we hope it is
true that he intends to make all such service
a secondary consideration altogether in mak
ing appointments to office, aud that fl'ness,
capacity, energy and honesty will have the
first and strongest claims ou his regard, as
credentials for office.
It is the general opinion that nothing is
easier than to get good, qualified men for
offioe. No man dreams that it is in the least
dimoult to find plenty of men, at a moment's
. notice, capable of filling auy office from the
Presidency down, and competent to perform
its duties as well as draw its pay. We sus
pect this is a very great mistake. There oer
tainly is no difficulty in finding men who will
take office any offioe, no matter what; but
there are bat few, we suspect, who thoroughly
understand the duties ot Government ofll
and can perform them readily and efficiently.
The work of the Government, in all its
branches, in small as well as iu Urge affairs,
is at least as much a business to be learned,
and requires certainly ai much training aud
capacity, as the business of a railroad corpo
ration or a bauk or a large noiutUHroiil esta
blishment. Vet who would think of filling
any position, in any of thete concerns, as the
various offices of the Government are llilid?
It is not an easy thing to fin 1 a first-rate
manager, or cashier, or subordinate of any
grade, for any great business establishment.
The number of persons not already engaged
to whom such interes's cau ea ely be intrusted
is always small, and they are to be fount,
when wanted, only by inquiry and careful
search. Why ebon 1 J it bediuerent when per
sons of the same qualification are wanted for
similar service under Government 7
We shall be very glad to kuo that General
' Grant intends to introduce into the matter of
appointments to otiioe a new system aud new
Standards of fitness. Appointment for puty
servioe. and on party grounds, have beau
made long enough. The working of the sys
tem thus administered is so had that reform
is absolutely imperative. Gnnral Grant will

even if he is opposed and resisted by tli
whole olass of professional politioiaus, in in
angurating the change which it is said be
intends to make. He has the etreogth an I

often, as in this oase, of moral foroe, was vindl-
caiea. cannon ana Dayonet nat restored the
South to the Union, but had not solved the
question of the sooial oonditlon of the two
classes of the Southern people, the late
masters and the late slaves. This problem
has now been solved by the enforcement,
though imperfectly, of the Reconstruction
laws, the virtual impeachment of their great
adversary, the readmission of most of the
Southern States to the Union on the basis of
tqual rights for all men, and the election on
the ranie platform of Grant aud Colfax. While
the Southern Rebels hoped to return to the
Union on the basis of caste and the renewed
subjugation of the blaok race, a large share of
the Northern Democracy hopad to punish by
repudiation the leaders whose wealth had
bought our victory. This heresy also is dead.
Looking back on these signal victories of
justice and truth, they seem of such import
ance and beneficence as those now living may
never hope perhaps again to see crowded into
a single year. These transition epochs In
which anoient strata are broken up and new
foundations laid, are too destructive to oome
often, and too far reaching and permanently
salutary in their effects to be often needed.
The revolutions of the pait eight years are
like the upheaval .of Europe under Napoleon
or of England under Cromwell. We have the
guarantee of internal peace for the remainder
of the nineteenth century, in the fact that the
whole of that period will be required to re
cover from the exhaustion of this conflict aud
to accumulate forces for another. The moral
and pbygioal (Parage with which the cause of
truth and justice Iihs been sustained during
the patt year has insured us pease for the
next half century.
Had the South been restored with all politi
cal power in Ihe hands of the whites, the
political subjection of the negro would have
toon restored him to personal slavery.
Slavery of the negro woald have quenched
freedom, education, discussion, religion, and
procreES for all classes. We should agu
have bad a deliaut and noi'ed South, a divided
Noith, repudiation, seces-iou, a new rebellion,
and tii is time a tuccessiul one.
Ikd Congress yielded to the usurpations of
a President determines to iecousruot in
South and reelect himself on the single bails
of scorn for the regro, rega-dless of lav aud
of the law-making power, our Governmeut
would have become au atitooraoy. Never
without a bloody revolution cjiild the Chief
Executive have been conip'-l'ed to obey tlie
law. We believe that- justice, 1a, and states
manthit) demtudtd conviction as well as
the mere impeachment of Au-irew Johnson.
It would have eavud a tuousand livei iu
the Southern S'.ites which have beu ua ri-
flced since Lis acquittal, in the sane hop to
give success to his political folly. In our judg
ment the blood of a thousand Southern Union
ists, crying to Heaven, it not for vengeance,
at leant tor protection ana peace, is ot more
account than robos of office which have been
80 s'aiiud by dectit and polluted by vice that
we doubt whether they most doaerva abhor
rence or contempt. For the sake of the past
we wish this bundle of treaoliories had been
removed. But the effect of the precedent
en the future will be hardly lees valuable than
if his impeachment Lad resulted in conviction.
For tLe first time iu the world's history, the
chief executive officer of a great empire, com
manding the army and navy, was calmly tried
at the bar of the Senate, on the charge of the
Representatives of the people, for a disobe
dience of a statute. lie appeared by counsel,
bowed to the jurisdiction, ani, through couu
sel, higgled, "shystered," begged, pleaded,
twisted, aud wrigtied lor days and weeks, and
at last, by a major ity lacking only one of being
two-thuds ot tne benate, he was morally, vir
tually, and historically convioted, though
technically acquitted. The principle is vindi
cated that the President is responsible to Con
gress for his obedience to the law, and this
was as important as 10 vindicate tne sove
reignty of the Union over the States.
The discussion in what mode tne southern
States shall return to the Union is nobly and
happily ended. All rights for all men are
essential to the highest prosperity of the South
as well as the safety of the country. The
Southern States will enter on the practical
enjoyment of these rights on the fourth day of
next March. In the turmoil of the past three
years industry at the South has nearly held
its own, and nothing more serious than
poverty has resulted,eventothe suffering class.
From the present year the South, as a whole,
oome s out better than in many former years
of peace. Having raised all its own food, it
has cot consumed the ootton crop fn advanop,
as formerly, but will net a substantial profit on
the year's industry. A better condition of the
South than was ever before known will be in
augurated da. ing the comiDglyear. Our incom
ing President, in the course of his four years'
tour through the Southern States, won the
respect, though he did not enjoy the hospital
ity, of the Southern people. We believe he
will continue to deserve it. Freedom, peaoe,
and that security to capital and prosperity to
industry whioh result therefrom, will speedily
cover the wasted fields of Virginia with the
cultivation and wealth of New York, and
make of Georgia a more genial aud sunny
Ohio. Texas will arise from her rags and
vermin and bound forward like the young and
giant Iowa of the Northwest, and the moun
tains of Tennessee will form tke Pennsylvania
of the South. These great changes are not to
be the slow growth of years. No moss will
gather in the path of the great march of emi
gration southward. Ueads now grey win live
te see the South not only aa loyal but as pros
perous and wealthy as tne IN or in.
The prosperity of Industry at the North
during the war and up to the present time has
formed one of the marvels of history. Bankers
and economists tried for a time to warn the
people that this prosperity was unreal and
delusive; but aseverjbody made money, built
houses, paid their debts, enlarged their busi
ness, lessened their labors, and increased their
comforts, the cry became stale. These visible
and tangible results are certainly sound. We
have instead of a currency redeemable in
specie at par, one which is redeemable in
specie at about 75 cents per dollar. We have
a disuse of specie, but not a suspension of
payments. The people generally were never
more nearly on a cash bas-s, nver had fewer
long or inflated crtditd. The only dtbtor who
Las borrowed more than he cau pres-ntly pay
is the Government; ai.d the depreciation in its
credit omes a like depreciation in the cur
rency in which business of every kind is
transaoted. But as this depreciation is nov
nnitorm fand altnobt without variation, btability
is in a great decree rertored to business; and
however bullionists aud economics may argue
that we ought not to m prosperous, the people
have a sort of stolid faith in the fact that they
are prosperous.
That the country will speedily resume the
use of a currency redeemable at par, iu gold,
for tLe present depredated one, we cannot for
a mrmect doubt. The question how this
desirable end is to bo attaiued will be settled,
if not by the present, certainly by the next
Coriprefs. We do riot doubt thin, the year
1871 will see ten-dollar notes again ut par with
engles.
The past year has seemed as orttloal for
England aa the years preceding 1860 were in
onrown history. Bat reform has nobly, benefi
cently triumphed there as here. The exten
sion of the elective rranonise eneoted In 18U7.
has resulted in the separation of the State aud
Churoh in Ireland, to be followed in due
oonrse in the other kingdoms. The polttloal
agitation of the Irish question as the leading
problem of the British Government has
qnleted tne enorts 01 tne Fenians to foment
revolution. The peaoe thn prodaoed has
even more effectually ratified the liberal
policy of Gladstone and the demooraoy of
Bright and Mill than the eleotions themselves.
As the enslaved negro deoUd Lincoln Presi
dent, so the discontented Iriehmau appoints
Gladstone Premier; and so the World learns
afresh that more power lies in the cross than
in inn soeptre.
ibe revolution in Spain, we fear, will
prove that republicanism is the mere senti
ment, while monarchy is the ruling power.
Put if it end in monarchy it will at least be a
monarohy based on an advanced constitution
aud broad individual liberty.
Russia has found dimculttes and d-presslon
in her work of peaceful emancipation nearly
as great as those which have attended our
abolition of slavery by war. But there, as
elsewhere, it will ultimately be found that
ambition and Interest are the strongest spars
to industry and clucks upon vice.
France and Piustfia are mortgaging their
future prosperity to secure their present
Strength by amassing enormous standing
armies. "France," said a Frenchman to Bis
mark, "both fears and desires war." Prns'ia,
on the contrary," replied Bismark, "neither
desires nor fears It."
Ihe year bears with it to the tomb many
who go out, )ik i stars in the heavens, leaving
points wht nee darkness radiates; Brougham,
the eloquent defender of Queen Anne, aud
Thaddeus Stevens, the dauntless champion ol
the weak and impeacher of the strong. Sir
David Brewster, the venerable pioneer iu
science, and Lord Cardigan, of the famous
"charge of the six hundred." While many
others whom we luight came have seemed to
fill large spheres in life, few have been more
mourned or misted in death, than our pleasunt
friend Halpine, so rarely endowed with wit
and genius. Art loses a devoted servant and
ni88ter in ChurUs L' rii g K liott, aud Musio
trunbles mournfully through all her chords
over the grave of the great Rossini. Thus the
(Id tear hleers with l's fathers, and much of
its joy and salne!, its hopes and f-ars, sleeps
with it. Bat out of all this tlf-cay there sur
vives progiees tor the race defies death and
advances wiili steady step through all the
j tar? and ctntusit-s.
Tim IVTercDce nnn the Ful-rn Question
From the N. Y. Hn ald.
From cable despatches which we printed
veMeiday morning it will b gathered that
there is now little if any doubt that the pro
posed conferencH ou the Eastern question will
beheld. Thr! ullidal journals of Paris speak
ot its success us ct-rtaiu. It is not said that
the Ottoman Governmeut has given its con
sent that 8 conference should b hdd, or that
'I is w illii-K to abide by its deoisions. leter-
m'ued to be ready to act with vigor, if to take
action be necessary, it is forwaioiug supplies
to Hnuart a A'dia am bis ileet, still in the Bay
ot byra. in all ihe liiikirli arsenals the
greatest activity prevails. The most import
ant announo meut comes from Vienna. Ac
cording to the I'rissr., an iuilueutUl aud gene
rally well-informed journal in that city, the
lireek Oovernment is reaiy to comply with
the recent demands made by Turkey. If
tbis announcement be correct, it sitnpli
fies mattei s very muih. If it be the
objeut of the congress t imply to prevent war,
its vocation is already gone. The cougress,
in fact, is rendered unuecesRary. If, how
ever, it is the object of the great powers to
remove the causes whioh have led to the
threatening aspect of affairs in the Kast, the
congress, notwithstanding the altered attitude
of Oreece, is as nint h a necessity as ever, and
the presumption is that it will be held. Now
that the question has been so muoh agitated,
and that the hopes of the Cretans have been
excittd, something defiuite must be agreed
npon with regard to the island. The best
thing, perhaps, that could now be done wou'.d
be to grant the Cretans complete independence
and to allow them to try their hand for a
time at self-government. To this oonrse
neither Turkey cor Greeoe could reasonably
object. Moreover, if the great powers agree
upon this or any course, objeotion on the part
ot either Turkey or Greece, or both, will be
unavailing.
Wood Advice to the South.
Prom the N T. Herald.
General Longstreet has written a letter
which is intended to give instruction to the
riuorderly elements in the Sou.h, in advance
of the new policy which is probably to be pur
sued by Grant's administration. The advice
comes in wisely and properly, and has a tone
of good sense about it which, if the young
b) od of the South comprehends and aots upon,
will do some good. General Longstreet ad
vises that all the old feelings of hostility
shall be burled, that the South shall endeavor
to carry out the laws of Congress, and shall
await the action of General Grant, trusting to
LIb honesty of purpose in the administration
of affairs.
We haidly think, judging from the antece
dents of the President elect, that the South
will be deceived iu the policy whioh he will
pimue. It will no doubt be directed towards
peace, good-will, and a genuine reconstruc
tion. We notice that many of the Southern
papers, the Richmond journals especially,
echo the sentiments of General Longstreet's
letter, in which matter they also exhibit their
good sense. It this thing of reoonetruotiou is
to be done at all, it were well that it is done
quickly. The elevation of Grant to the Presi
dency affords the best opportunity for bring
ing the whole affair to a healthy solution, and
it is well to fee that the South is beginning to
compreheLd this fact.
Architectural Luxurjr.
ft om "Br ck" l'omerou' N. Y. Democrut.
It is gratifying to our self-esteem that
we are rrogrecsing in the atsthetioal in
architecture, tor nothing denotes more greatly
a nation's advancement in civilization than the
omate and improved stvle of architecture,
and the erection of palatial private residences
We are too imitative a people in style, as the
lone rows ol buildings to be fouud every
where too plainly attest by their wearisome
uniformity and a sterility of ornament
that the exigencies of increased
population gave tLera exlsteuce. Time,
Lowever, is making material changes, as
the poBf-ebtcrs of mammoth fortunes, having
lorg invested iu property lor tha nana
ecme percentage it returned, are now com
mencing to gratify their tasteB irrespective
of such pecuniary considerations. Mr. A
T. Stewart has lt'd the prospecting par
ties into new fields of donieatlo architecture
by the erection of a costly private resldeuoe of
a somewhat diUereut style aom the oouven
tional browiihtoue houses, to dvell out of
wLich we l ave long considered to be utterly
incompatible with true gentility. Others &
coming to Lis support, as we Lear of several
of thotte "men who think in millions" loosen-
irg their purse-strings, and devoting surplus
funns in beutifjitg tne ouy. inisisasn
should be, for our nomad people ought to be
moie permanently located, lor even oar
wealthiest f ami lies are too muoh siven to
change of homes, and, consequently, to inhabit
houses where they feel they but take np a
mere temporary residence. The delightfal
solutions that linger around the "happy
homes ot England" are entirely foreign to this
city. Thne many comforts aud adornments of
art, which can only be round in nomes long in
rofsston of the rame family are very rare in
this country, except, purbap, in Xew r,ogiani;
for our destructive system of moviug'often com
pels an entire change or furniture, inis mania
lor building substantial, handsome bouses,
marks a new epoch, and though the absetoa
of laws of entail and primogeniture may even
tually cause the tain of such homesteads by
the necessity of division of property, still there
is a very convenient aud popular way of keep
ing a mansion for some time in the family, by
leaving it to the grandchildren. There is little
danger yet of the following aphorism or vr.
Jobufon becoming applicable in this city:
"lie that bss built for nse till use is supplied,
must begin to build for vanity, and extend
his plan to the utmost power ot human per
formance, that he may not be soon redaoed to
form another wish." Let vanity, then, have
its sway; we are too practical a people to
permit It to ruin us, as it has done the ambi
tious Venetians, whose marble palaces, though
luvolvirg the owners' ruin, have yet made
that charming city the architectural wonder
of the world.
