The Tenure of Office Act. From the N. T. Hutxon. General Butler's frletida are announcing With muoh zeal that be in about to press his 1)111 for the repeal of the Tenure-of-Ol&u aot through the House as eoou aj Congress meets again, with the view, the Springfield Republi can suggests, o( establishing a thoroughl cordial understanding with General Grant before the distribution of offloes begins under the new administration. Those who paid at tention to the canvass In the Fifth Massachu setts district will remember that the only charge or threat or prediotion from his oppo nents wbtou. seemed to throw him oil hU guard, was a hint we forget from what quarter that, even if elected, Grant would pay no attention to his wishes in the appoint ments to office. This seemed to exasperate him a good deal, and caused him to forget for a moment the rOla of admirer of Grant In which he wai then figuring, and to exclaim that if Grant at tempted anything of the kind, he (Udtler) would give him plenty to do, or words to that effect meaning that Grant would find in him what is popularly called .' troublesome cus tomer." The inference the liepublican therefore draws is, that the new bill is die to General Butler's fear that Grant may possibly oherish sinister designs with regard to the Butler share of the spoils, and the latter therefore wishes to avoid an open row by establishing, before the division begins, a claim ou the new President's gratitude. As a piece of speculative Inquiry, there la much in this examination of General Batler's motives to command our respect, but we doubt the utility of examining his motives for acts in themselves good, be does so many things in themselves, bad that the analysis of his mental and moral constitution may safely be reserved for occasions on which these come under discussion. For ourselves, we are quite willing to take any active support he gives to useful legislation and until now he can hardly be said to have giveu any whatever at its full value, and to be only too thankful that he is not in mischief. If his zeal about the repeal of the Tenure of-Offlee act were only sufficient to prevent his damaging the publio credit by writing letters about taxing the bonds a kind of work in which he has been vigorously engaged during the last week or two it would delight us, even if the measure were not in itself as useful as we believe it to-be. It is not difficult to defend the Tenure of Oflice act, even If its results h'ave not proved as valuable as was expected, or even if it be now proved worthless or mischievous as a permanent arrangement. Jn the earlier days of Mr. Johnson's quarrel with Congress, in 1BCG, the most promineut of his hallucinations undoubtedly was his belief that he was going to be the founder of a new party, which was to back him np in excluding Congress from all share in the wo:k of roastruution, and he and his friends made no secret of his inten tion to use, or rather abuse, the appointing power in aid of this scheme. With the enormous amount of patronage which has been at the disposal of the President since the outbreak of the war, it was easy to see that even if he could not make it available for the defeat of Congress at the election?, he could use it so as to create a false impression every where, aud especially at the South, of his real strength, and the suooess or failure of reconstruction depended largely on the Southern comprehension of the real state of feeling at the North, and of the exaot extent of the President's power. Even, therefore, if Congress was not shocked by the Bpectaole of the conversion of the civil ser vants of the Government into electioneering tools which it certainly was not, for no spectacle was more familiar and even if it had been fully aware, as most members, we feel sure, were, that no such restriction of the President's powers and responsibilities could be justified as a permanent enactment its depriving Mr. Johnson of the authority to dismiss, with .a view simply to the existing emergency, was as natural and proper as any other step in the reconstruction process. lie and his friends would doubtless have held strong ground, if he had been able, in defending Lis authority against Congressional enoroachment, to appear as the champion of reform, or as the advocate of the withdrawal of the civil service from the arena of party politics altogether. Bat he was not able to do anything of the kind, lie could not pretend that the appointments or dismissals made by him without Congressional interference would be or were any better tban those in whioh Con gress meddled, or that the nation would lose anything as regarded the purity and efficiency of the administration by having his responsi bility lessened. The aot undoubtedly had the effect of dis abusing the President and his supporters of the idea that he was either a formidable politi cal enemy or a valuable political friend, and of putting an end to all hope iu any quar ter of his being able to impede seriously the work of reoonstruodon. But here its useful ness ended. In so far as it helped to precipi tate impeaohment it wai a calamity. It has done nothing to improve the publio service. The President, if he had had full swing, could not have made it wore than it is at this mo ment. The Senate, if it bad had none of the power of interference the act has given it, could not have done lee's for reform than it has done sinoe the act was passed. In faot, whatever change has oocurrei in the admluistrutive yttem sinoe the act was passed baa been for the worse and not for the better, and the difficulty of reform has been inoreased because it is more difficult than ever to fix the responsibility of abuses. To whom we owe the swarm of rascals who figure in the dissolving views offered to the publio by the various "rings," nobody can tell. Mr. Job q son says it is the Seuate, aud the Senate says it is Mr. Johnson. All the pubiio can tell is that both are concerned in it. But one thing la certain, and that is, that the repeal, "pure and simple," of the JTenute-of Office aot will, as a measure of reform, prove illusory unless nooompanied by the passage of the Civil Ser vice bill; and it uenerai sutler wants to asso elate bis name with somethiug useful, let him rally to the support of this also. It would be difficult for ns. without peem'ng extravagant, to express all the cnnll leuo we feel in Uene rai Grant's character and ability, but he would have to be more than mortal if In could make head against the corruption which now prevails in Washington without the au of radical chauze in the stltem. The mere rertoratiou of the authority the President enjoyed before the passage of the Tennre-of Office aot, though a step ia the right direotlon, would enable him to auooui- w'ish little or nothing. Tne various "ri'igs" Lava durinar the last three or four years pained such enormous strength' that uuless the 1 rtBldeni S legal aii'uoniy tuai i, i-gai power of exercising Lis discretion is sur lounded by stronger barriers than his per sonal character, however good or wise or able Le may be, cau supply, he must, sooner or later, snconmb or be outwitted. The matter I is all the more important because, with Grant I in the Presidential chair untrammelled by pledges, and with a great reputation and un questioned claims on the national gratitude at Lis baek, a obanoe of choosing between the upward and the downward road in the con duct of the Government is offered ns which may not come again in the lifetime of any of those who elected him, or eome at all till re form wonld have to be purchased by great atrnotnral changes in the Government. Every Man a Politician. from the N. Y. Timet. A friend who was present at the dinner to Geneial Grant by one of our millionaires, told us there was four of the twenty who would take office. We were obliged to differ with him. We believe there were five. At least one-quarter of our voting population, we take it, are ready to hold office, nay, anxious to do so. It is a curious and not very intelli gible fact. Our Central Government is said, employs and pays GO, 000 office-holders. They are liable to be supplanted to please some whim are sure to be supplanted whenever there is a change of President. Sixty thousand in office implies one million ont of office who are mov ing heaven and earth to get in. Tae whole of these we may put down as professed politi ciansmen who are anxious to make politics their business. It seems that a man who has onoe held an office forever wants to hold an office. lie cannot be cured by any known means. A million oapable men at this moment among our people are passing a wretched and Scheming winter in the vague hope that they may get an office next spring from Gsneral Grant. It is the most hopeless form of insanity one would think, for it is apparent from the figures of the Blue Book that there are not five hundred offices in the whole oountry whioh wi'i pay a man a decent support. The pay of the Secretary of the Treasury is about one-half that of a goci bank president; that that of a member of Congress is one-half that of a good country lawyer; while the smaller departmental offices are notoriously insufficient to support a family. It appears by recent de velopments that men do want the plaoe of In ternal Revenue Commissioner salary $'J000 who are at this time in receipt of salaries of $10,000 to $13,000 and this, too, in face of the fact that it cannot be hld over four jears, and may be snatched away at any r 'Oment. The explanation of this astounding condi tion of things is found by souie iu the theory that men are venal. It is and has been urged that men seek for offices not for the salaries, bnt for tLe plunder. To a certain extent this is doubtless true, but we are loth to believe it to its full extent. But it is not to be doubted that our system is as bad as it cau be aud is the worst ever invented. When the phrase, "to the victors belong the spoils" was applied, it was the most devlli&h text ever preaohed from: we have been preaching and practising it now these three decades. Men who get offices know that their official life is short, and if they can be tempted to make the most of tL el r short time, they will be. "Make hay while the sun shines" is a maxim quite as generally accepted and acted npon by the politician as the farmer. What is tiue of the Central Government we may assume to be true of vhe lesser govern ments. We conclude that there are 25,000 to 30,000 men in this city who hold places, or expect to, in the ity government. We know of men who go into school boards and every other email place, who can have no purpose but the Lope of pickings. We know of men who give up $5 a day too to the Legislature to get 33 and for what ? And those. who are not directly venal are sustained by the hope that "something will turn np" by which they shall benefit. The truth is, that this system is corrupting the body politic We read politics and talk politics and smoke politics and drink politics the year round. There seems to be something fascinating to mortal man to be put up and pnbhed forward by a great party. lie finds himself talked about, courted and treated by everybody as if he were a great man; and this, to most men, is the same as if he were, lie arrives at a dignity whioh he has hardly dared to dream of, and thus we are being converted into a nation of politicians; and that means ruin. The politician must exist, and he is, or ought to be, a most valuable man; but he ought to allow his fellow-men to seek him, rather tban be to hunt his leiiow-men. But as a business it is poor, and the pay is small. Venal or not, hardly any man can keep money if he makes it in that way. There are a tnousand demands upon mm, and it takes a sharp brain and a ready purse under our system for a man to keep bis place against the million who are trying to get it away from him. ' Twain, Greeley, and Train. From the IT. Y. World. Mr. Mark Twain, of California, emulous, and justly emulous, of the diplomatic suc cesses of Mr. Kosa Browne, yearns to be sent as American Minister to Lngland. lie acoord inelv appeals to all that is noblest in the na ture of Horace Greeley, and entreats that eminent citizeu to release General Grant from the promise which ("we have heard and be lieve") was made by him, over a breakfast- table at Delmonico's, to bestow upon a. u. the honors now enjoyed by Mr. Reverdy John- eon. Mr. Twain may as well understand at once that his cake is all dougn, or, if be likes that better, that his ! 'goose is cooked." He is a very amusing and, we dare say, a very good- looking person, but he canuot come in as Kuvoy to Knglaud. If (which is very impro bable) II. G. could be induced to abandon his own claims to that exalted post, he would be constrained by all possible considerations of consistency aud of policy to exert his whole influence in behalf of Mr. Geo. Francis Traiu. The columns of the Tribune bear witness to the faot that the first duty of an American Minister to Knglaud, in the opinion of Horace Greeley, is to bully the British Govern ment, and his second duty, like unto it, to snub all British Tories, shipbuilders, and sympathizers with rebellion. These are his Puffendorf, these his Vattel. And, unless Mr. Twain is a more conceited person than we take him to be, he will hardly deny that in these particulars no man now living in Ameiica can be expected to rival the Indomi table and incorruptible Train. II. G. Limbelf is a pliant and facile tool in comparison with the Eagle of Omaha. 11. U. has been known to consent to siuuers when they enticed him. He wnt to Niagara Fall to hobnob with ; George Sauders, aud 10 Richmond to bail out Jefferson Davis. What guarantee can we have that Le would not accept a "mount" from the Duke of Beau fort or some other sportiog enemy of the Union, and go careering, in a red coat, across country aftor the bounds with a meet of n.oH conservative peers and Churoh-and-State tqulres? He is fond, too, of nil sorts of worldly amusements, and we may depend upon it tb.it l efore tin liat been in huglaud a mouth l aiy I'.eacoiitllell aud her wily spouse would have him dancing at Willis' Rooms with wicked little Tory countesses, and fribbling away in the boudoirs ot Belravia the feeliug and the force which should be directed to the demoli tion of the British Constitution and the hu miliation of a bloated aristocracy . Now, nothing of this need be feared with George Francis Traiu. The blandishments of beauty and the faeoinations of the fixsh would be thrown away upon that most patrlotlo and most pachydermatous of men. His passive courage has been proved aud found not want ing d nring mouths of inoaroeration in a British baKtile. What could the cajoleries of a Bri tish palace effect upon his Just and tenaolous nature? He bas looked the whole world iu the face through the bars of his duugeon, aud foared not to call a spade a spade nor a Briton a brute, though th red-cress of St. George waved over his head and the red coats of Vio totia kept watch and ward about hi in. His last act on leaving the Old World was to hurl de fiance at Windsor Castle and demaud the Inde pendence of Ireland. His first aot on reaching tbe New World was to declare war against Great Britain while yet his loot pressed the deck of a British steamer and tbe thralls of the tyrant glared in anger and in amazement all about him. Would such a man be likely to call Mr. Roebuck "his friend," or to shake bauds with Alabama Laird, or to soothe the feelings of Lord Clarendon, or to placate a venal Parliament 1 "Not muoh !" The 7n6u(! will be false to all its profes sions if it fail to urge the appointment of such a man to the work which it nas so elaborately laid out for an American envoy in Esgland to do. Mr. Twaiu must go to the Court of St. James. And Mr. Train must oonsole himself with the thought that all the "swells" of the British capital, with whom it is au artlolt of faith always to pronounce the letter r like the letter w, we will surely turn Traiu into Twain, and so give him all the glory with none of the, trouble of the post whioh he solicits. The only real difficulty in settling the matter is likely to oome from Mr. Traiu himself. Mr. Train's abhorrence of British tyranny, James Mcll-nry, and the Old Testa ment is only equalled by his hatred of spirits and of tobacco. It may, therefore, be a little doubtful whether be will oonsent to accept office from the new administration excepting on the condition that Wendell Phillips shall be appointed Comptroller of the White douse, with absolute authority over the domestic life of its inmates. But this should ba easy of arrangement. There would seem to be no good reason why Congress should not apply the principles of its recent legislation to fami lies as well as to States; and the radicals who rule us ought surely to be able to fiad in the Constitution as clear a warrant (or regulating the pnreonal habits of cue 1'resident as they bave fouud there for overriding the political prerogaiivt s of anotl er. II venij'K Mistakes." From the N. Y. Tribune. Mr. Reverdy Johnson, in his letter to Laird, itcctiojs Laird's assertion that fault is found with our Minister by oap tious Yankees because he sympathized with the South in our late struggle. This was a gross misstatemetifwhen originally uttered by Laird, ana becomes something worsen when Uttered by Johnson. They are both processing to state tbe views of their antagonists, aud are morally bound to st ate them fairly and honestly. Let us briefly set them straight: Mr. Laird s sympathies may concern him deeply, but do not at all concern the American peupie. We do not inquire into them, be cause we care nothing about them. 'ihousands of his fellow Tories sympathized warmly with our slaveholdiug Rebels; yet we neither remonstrated nor took offense. They were grandsons of men who surrendered with Burgojne at Saratoga, or with Coiuwallis at lorktuwn, or the sous of gallant fellows who reooiled from the dually fire of Jackson's lines at New Orleans. The younger brood thought they had at last a chance to "get even" with ns, so they shouted and cheered for tbe southern Confederacy like good honest Tories, as they are. It was human nature to do so: and we don't bear them a shadow of ill-will for it. Under like circumstances, we might nave done much tne same. Mr. Laird's case is entirely different. II was a member of Parliament. Parliament is the most influential part of the British Govern ment. That Government, while reoogniztng the Rebels as a belligerent power, enjoined on Its subjects the strictest neutrality in our con test. Mr. Laird conspicuously, persistently violated that neutrality. He made war upon us, in defiance of the Queen's Proclamation. He waged a mean, cowardly, vandal war upon us, by building and equipping swift and strong war steamers swift enough to overtake our harmless merchantmen and run away from our national cruisers, sent out to proteot our commerce. Those steamers, built and fitted out by Laird, traversed every sea and looked in at every port, cheered and feted wfcere Toryism, whether of the Old World or the New, had a votary, aud lighting up the skies with the flames of our unarmed vessels, bound on voyages of peace and good-will to all. The injury done us by Laird's pirates fh that hoar of our national agony and peril was far be yond the value of the vessels and cargoes de stroyed by his British-built, British-armed, British-manned corsairs. Not what we lost, bnt when we lost it, and its inevitable effect in driving our commerce from the seas or under foreign flags, is the vital consideration. Mr. R. Johnson was sent to England to de mand reparation for the cruel wrong done us by Laird & Co., so far as reparation can now be made. He was sent to make Great Britain realize that Laird's war upon us was as law less as It was cowardly that it was a wrong which we could not overlook without evincing a craven, cowardly spirit that it was one to which we had already too long submitted, and to which we would tamely submit no longer. Can any one doubt that our Ambassador's hobnobbing and fraternizing with Laird, while our claims were still under disoussian, was calculated to weaken, to damage our oase ? How could the Brttieh publio believe us ag grieved aud in earnest in demanding redress fur the ravages of Laird's oorsairs while our Minister is feasting and frolioking with Laird himself? Is not such fraternization plainly saying to John Bull, "You see that we must make a show or demanding redress for those ship-burnings, but we don't really mean it, and (hall make the thing as easy as possible." Mr. Laird, we are assured by our Minister, now that the war is over, sinoerely wishes a laBtiug peace between the two countries. We rather think he does. But suppose we should to morrow be in such a fix as we were just alter Bull Run, what would t'm be Mr. Laird's feehn&s and wishe r Would a new treaty of peace and friendship with his Government Mud him more man me old one did r if wr. Jobuson imagines that he was sent to Eogland to make peace with Mr. Laird, he is gravely nntaktn. Fnilfrratlou Houthwnrd. trom"J!rtck" 1'umcnoy' N. Y. Democrat. Not the least among the results of the late civil war is the increased knowledge of the rescuices and natural advantages ot soil, cli mate, and productions of the South. While felaveiy existed, au almost unaccountable amount of ignorance on this Bubjeut prevailed among the nias of the people living at the Noitb, coupled with an eual amouut of pre judice, growing out of the Hystematiu misre piesentation made by the opponents of th iu- atltntion of slavery, both religious and politi cal. For many years this orusade against slavery had the effeot of keeping out of its limits nearly all of the surplus population of the North, as well as that of Europe, who sought our shores, and who were Imbued with a feeling of repugnance to that section of the country mainly on account of the "institu tion." Added to this, the idea prevailed ex tensively that the successful cultivation of the pioduots of the South could only be aooom plitthed by negro labor ootton, sugar, rice, and tobaooo and that the white ' men of Northern Europe and America were constitu tionally incapatle of enduring the labor of pro dm iug these articles in such a climate. The slave system of labor also prevented tbe planters from seeking, or in any way en conraging, an Influx of white laborers, as the two were, to a eertaln extent, antagonistic; while on the part of the whites a reluctance to place themselves on an apparent level with the blacks bad much to do with the absence of a white laboring agricultural people in the South. Hence the broad and fertile territory of tbe Northwest, much of which was thrown open to freedom and cultivation by the mother of States, Virginia, being free from the objec tions which presented themselves in the South, rich aud cheap, were naturally and eagerly Bought for by the immigrants, foreign and native; and by their labor, perseverance, and frngality have beoome rich aud powerful. Their wilderness has been converted into a fruitful garden, and their influence is felt throughout the world. Tbe late war having resulted in the aboli tion of slavery and compulsory labor, has been tbe means, at the same time, of opening up to the world the boundless resources of the oountry, in its soil and varied productions, its watercourses and mill privileges, its mineral wealth and genial climate; all now free from the objections once urged or thought to exist there. Land is good, plenty, and cheap. The old plan of colossal plantations is vanish ing with the old system of labor whioh called them into existence, and an entirely different social ttatusie being inaugurated. There is an abundance of valuable timber; its watercourses furnish an inexhaustible supply of power for mechanical and manufacturing purposes; its mines of coal, iron, copper, aud gold are capa ble of yiebiiuK au abundant supply of these necessary and precious metals. With the modern improvements in agricultural imple ments the cultivation of the staples has been In ought within easy range for white labor, and must prove remunerative to all who engage in ti e business. Tbe prosperity and perpetu'ty of this conn try, as a whole, depend, in a great measure, on tbe development of all its parts; and there is every reason to believe that when we sba'l bane peace we fcball have prosperity; that the crushing hand of despotic government will be removed and its fostering care bestowed instead; that paity resentment and strife will be abandoned, and that the whole South will rise refreshed and invigorated, and, with an industrions population, aain take its onoe proud position in the nation where intellect shall not be tabooed nor ignorance exalted. When the Ku-Klux myth shall be forgotten, and the carpet-baggers shall make room for the sturdy sons of toil; when the white man shall rule under the Jeffi rsouian motto of "Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever per suasion, religious or political," when ftua- ticiBm shall be banished tbe land, or conoaed to its original limits, then unmolested labor shall meet its Just reward.
