" hM tn, Hun9' TJie repeal will be generally approved bj the peo ple who, knowing tbat the publto servloe 18 revoltiDglr corrupt, desire tbt General (Irant should be deprived of everj exouae for failing to reform it. As between the raeoall Repub lican ffloials who vow hold plaoea and any possible nse the new President may make of bis power, the people do not hesitate a mo ment to prefer the arbitrary will of the latter. We are williDg to oonoede that the power of removal for merely political reasons, or re moval without reasons, is aubjeot to great abuse, and that It has been greatly abused. But the experiment of a different system, pro ceeding from the motives it did, and attended .vfata m ffht have attended jur. jeuun.es bill under more favorable oiroumstances, there is no chance that it can be passed now. Our experience of a fixed tenure, with a cumbrous and roundabout method of re moval, has poured odium upon what might, perhaps, have been a promising reform. We have found that offioers are more likely to fail in integrity than ia oapaoity; and that diahoneaty is infinitely the greater evil of the two. The duties of most administrative offices are very simple. Our whole history hardly furnishes a remember able example of any great detriment to the publio interests by the ignoranoe or imbecility of merely ministerial officers. The chief evils to be guarded against are frauds, defalcations, bribery, oollusions between offioers of the revenue and those who ought to pay it. These evils have grown to such a height under a fixed tenure, that everybody feels that the great urgenoy at present is not to keep men in offioe, but to turn them out. Honesty is a thing that can be tested only by a trial. Knaves are often so crafty, so subtle, they so habitually oover their tracks and conceal the evidence of their orimes, that they may remain long in offioe without any tangible evidence of their guilt. They may be suspeoted, and yet there may not be against them a scintilla of proof which might not be consistent with inno cence, although it raised suspicions of their guilt. If the President has the power of prompt removal without any necessity of giving reasons, or any liability to review, he can clear out all suspected persons at onoe, without injuring their reputation if innocent, or waiting for complete evidence if they are guilty. The real motive for removal might do great injustice if the President were compelled to disclose it; but u He can remove without as signing any reason, and this praotioe is habitual, no wrong can be done, for no man's honesty is impeached. If there is tangible evidenoe of malversation, the officer should be prosecuted after his removal and made to suffer the legal punishment; but when a man is merely removed, be Bhou.14 be deemed inno cent until he is proved guilty. This constant liability to removal cuts off all possibility of a chioaning defense when there is guilt which the evidenoe does not reach, audit invigorates efficiency and fidelity. Snob, a power is indeed liable to great abuse; but the abuses are as nothing compared with the wide-spread rottenness which lias grown up under the opposite system. When, as may often happen, the President and Senate are of different politios, the evils of a fixed tenure become stupendous. liioli branoh of the appointing power wishes to keep its own partisans in office, and knaves are furnished with the ready defense of saying that charges against their character are in vented by political hostility. The effeot is to out the sinews of responsibility, or rather to abolish official responsibility altogether, and leave no resource against official corruption but the slow, tedious, cumbrous forms of a legal prosecution, where a flaw in the indict ment, or evidence morally conclusive but legally inadmissible, or the slaokness or con nivance of prosecuting officers, may enable scoundrels to go scot free. This is surely a bad system: it is not easy to imagine any thing worse. It has brought about saoh a state of things that, if Oeneral Grant shall be honest, efficient, and resolute in using the power about to be restored to the President, it will be a long time before any scheme for giving a fixed tenure of offioe can even gain a hearing. The Shadow of Coming Emits Urant and Congress. From the If. Y. Herald. The Viekeburg campaign gave birth to a new popular leader; for it brought into promi nent notioe the commander of the Federal forces to whom had been entrusted the task of capturing the key point of the Rebel line of defense, Vicksburg. In the face of all military counsel, Uentral Urant staked his future upon the success of a movement whose very bold ness made it irresisitble. He soon after re pairtd the misfortunes of General HoBecrans and defeated the army of General Bragg. Everywhere infuhiffg his indomitable euergy into the troops under his command, he finally headed the Army of the Potomac, and with the objective point, Richmond, before him, pushed the great foice upon the Rebellion, constantly grinding against it like a gigantic millstone from the Wilderness to Appomattox Court House. In peace, as in war, the man was tested. Generous to (hose who bad drawn the sword gainst the Government, through patriotic yet mistaken zeal, be at once, and even upon the last field of battle, showed his appreciation of the problem of reconstruction by the liberal terms granted to the vanquished, lie robbed no honors from those under him; he gave them their just share of praise, for they were of Lis own naming, and to have them do well was to reflect back upon Lira for his good judg ment in their selection. The people tried him iu the civil administration of the War Depart ment, and the results were an immediate and immense reduction of its expenditures. Thus the man made his matk wherever he was c'aced. lie did well, stamped his own char acter upon his work, aud pleased us. For this We have eleoted him our President for the next lour years. His oapaoity for war, upon which we Lave touohed, is a quiet foroe, valuable for thnsa nersons to consider who do not feel ap posed to acoept certain result! whioh have been reasoned into practical exlstenoe by the sabre. His generosity to the foe was the best proof tbat he understood tbat the Douin repre sented a vast and well-populated territory; that it possessed a bieh-spirited and vigorous people, full of future power and wealth; that these faota must be recognized as a powerful existing loroe to be harmonized as rapidly as possible with the elements against which they Lad been dashing in m fonr years' desperate contest. His concessions to merit gave the people a proof that the oormorauts who iufefct aJl public plaoes would be forced from their pry; tbat men wonld be selected for by the results u nas, dab prow iuvu u.UvU raged any expectation ot benefits (rom giving a greater fixity to the tenure of offioe. VVhat- their fitness to fill the offloos entrusted to tbem; tbat whisky rings would be crashed out, railway and other Joba cease to plunier and sap the energies of the people; that In foreign countries we should no longer b represented by men who disgraoe us, for through them we cause other nations to take us at the estimate whioh we plaos upon our selves. His economy in the War Office showed his desire to reduce the burden ot debt under whioh the nation is now staggering, an 1 from which, if unrelieved, it will shake itself free by repudiation. It showed that in every department of government it was his desire to institute that military exactness of adminis tration in publio expenditure whioh is alone suited to a country at the moment it emerges from a great war covered with its attendant corruptions. V In unison with Grant, the people considered that the reforms and policy here embodied were a necessity to the future well-being of the nation, and, looking for their best expo nent, naturally eleoted as PresMent the man who had proven himself, above all others, to be most fitted for the ohief exeoutive offioe of the Government. Through General Grant Congress has imme diately felt the strong hand of the people. The shadow they had been watohlng constantly increased in intensity. Congress has usurped a transient power in the Btruggle with an im becile President, whom, by the Tenure-of-Office bill and other restrictions, they wound up in a web from which, despite all effort, he conld not break. Now, however,- Congress bends to the irresistible mandate of the people, and restores the power usurped from the Exe cutive. By this it is proven that Grant, as a newly elected President, governs ia all great iesues from the day of his eleotion. The forty seven Representatives who cling to the past will be buried with it. The men who, headed by Butler, Lave the brains to measure the tem per of the nation and acoept its wishes as law, are opening the way to solid and beneficial legislation. Under the leadership of Grant and these men we expect a general restoration of our tottering fortunes; for we have a great destiny before us, whose mandate it is folly to disobey. We want legislation shaped to the fact that we are making ourselves, by our railway and telegraph systems, more compact as a nation than the State of Massachusetts was as a province iu 1830. We want Con gress to recognize that we face between six and seven hundred millions of people in Asia, and tbat there are thirty-five millions of peo ple south of ua calling upon us for commer cial intercourse. On this continent we ocoupy the commercial centre of the world, and all maps cow illustrative of the lines of trade place North America in the centre, with Eu rope and Asia on either hind. With the inauguration of Grant must com mence a new era of prosperity for the country. The influence which he, as the representative of the people, already throws over the times indicates the temper of the nation. Our olvil war has not yet ended, nor will it end till the fourth day of next March. Then we may feel rest from the gigantio struggle of eight years. Then we shall launch anew commerce, stretch our iron arms towards the Pacific, rapidly shake off our national debt, aud bury the potty memories of civil strife in the seooud chapter of our mighty civilization. Amnesty aud SulTi-agc. Prom the Tribune. The former ruling class of Virginia has Steadfastly opposed uegro suffrage. On Nsw Year's Day this class, through representatives every way qualified, by ability, past services, high staudiug aud hold upon the confidence of the community, to speak for It, deoided to abandon the opposition. It made no hypo critical pretense of changed opinions; but. frankly avowing the continued belief that iu their present condition the negroes are not safe depositaries of political power, bowed nevertheless to the verdict of the recent elec tions, in the hope that harmony might be re stored on the basis of impartial suffrage and universal amnesty. Since their defeat the attitude of these men has seemed sullen and discontented, if not dangerous. They come now bearing the olive branch. We are in favor or meeting them In the same spirit. Where no danger is involved, we hold that an adjustment in a matter in which we Lave been so overwhelmingly victo rious thould be generous rather than hig gling. We Lave no wish to see these leading men of their State constantly foroed to contem plate themselves in the light of viotims of na tional wrath. Even if no higher motives con trolled the Government, we should consider it shrewder policy now to alleviate the soreness of defeat. It is very true that we can reor ganize without the disfranchised class, andoan secure negro euurage without It. But we doubt it any true friend to the negroes will longer urge disfranchisement for their sake. We pro- r 11 Hi . - . . iounuiv distrust me view mat negro suffrage secured by disfranchisement of a large part of the more intelligent population will conduce to permanent peace. Won in defiance of the old ruling classes, it may, in the revolutions of politics, be some day lost in their triumph. won, by common consent, in a peaceful ad justment wherein each party gains something, it tecomes a pieuge oi peace, and rests nenoe foith on the guarantee of the common faith aid the common interest. We Lail, therefore, the evidences that the committee now urging on Congress on behalf of the old ruling class of that tit ate the plan of impartial suffrage and universal amnesty is supported by the preponderance of intelli gent publio sentiment at Lome. As was to be expeoted, the movement is severely criticlzad in many and diverse quarters. The more bit ter and malignant of the old Rebel class de nounce it as the surrender of a vital principle. The new-oomers who, with the negroes, give tLe main support to the present btate Uovern ment denounce it as a new device of the old enemy, whom they hold it a teat of loyalty to fifcht forever and forever. But we believe it to be supported in good faith by a party capa ble of bringing to the polls a large majority of the Virg nians who, through four years of detolatiDg war, formed the main bulwark of the ReVel cause. We believe the return of these men to a hearty aud active support of tbe State aud National Governments a great ga'n to peaoe, to harmony, to the revival of industry and the return of prosperity. We ask our friends of Northern origin iu Virginia to take this wider view of the occasion; and we ask Congress to give the most attentive coisideration to the Virginia committee, and do whatever may safely be done to further tLtir wishes. llie Debt aud the Currency Mr. L'wliig's letter. from the N. Y. Times, There is no absolute necessity, surely, for encumbering tbe currency question with dis puted points aUeoting the publio debt. Mr. Opdyke Las stated with much oogeuoy the ease against immediate resumption, and Mr. Walker Las done similar service in its favor, without raising the issue of good faith or re pudiation in its bearing on the national loiids. Their examples were not needed to prove the possibility of discussing the desira bleness and feasibility of a return to specie payments, without reference to the claims of tie bondholders; but they serve to render mote conspicuous the mischievous tendency of the argument presented with so intiuta ability by Mr. Bwlng. He makes the bond question an essential part of the ourreuoy question, and in good part rests his opposition to resumption upon the profit thenoe aoorulng to tbe bondholders. The oomblualion is at onoe needless and injurious. It imports into tbe financial problem elements that hava na proper plaoe there, and throws over the whole the snsplolon and uncertainty whioh are among tbe ohief causes of embarrassment. Mr. Ewing raises afresh the title of the holders of five-twenties to ptyment in coin. Iu bis opinion the title is invalid, and he em ploys a good deal of ingenioas argument, aud some objurgation wbioli is not iugenlou, to show that they may be paid in greenbacks. He echoes President Johnson's warning against those who drive bard bargains, aud prediols popular resistance to usury if the holders of the bonds press their interpretation of the oontraot. There may have been a pretext for this kind of talk while Mr. Seymour's pretensions to the Presidency were undecided. The good faith of the Govern ment was one of the matters in controversy between the parties, and Mr. living's argu ment would then have been ia order. Now, it is a gratuitous attempt to excite dis trust. The country has decided the dispute. The voioe that assigned Grant to the Presi dency decreed with equal distinctness the pa j men t of the bondholders aooording to the spirit of the law. The considerations urged by Mr. Ewing were all before the people from the 4th of July to the 3d of November, and they rejeoted them as at variance with the Louor and interest of the Republic. The con struction he insists upon they rejeoted, aud they declared instead that the Government shall disobarge its obligations to the holders of its bonds in the ourreuoy of tin world. This declaration, so recent and em phatic, should be accepted as oonolusive. It is proof In advanoe that the dootrine of an "equitable adjustment," with whioh Cob belt tickled the ignorance of an English mul titude, will find no favor with the Amerioau people. We do not, however, understand Mr. Ewing to contemplate the act whioh he attempts to justify. He denies the claim of the bond holders with a view to the completion of another bargain not for the purpose of pay ing out greenbacks for five-twenties without more ado. His aim, in faot, seems to be akiu to tbat of Mr. Sherman last year namely, to compel the bondholders, by an appeal to their fears, to surrender their six per cent, security for a four per cent, which it is pro posed to issue. Notwithstanding his own hos tile exposition of the bondholders' title, Mr. Ewing is willing to waive the extreme position, and to compromise by a scheme of funding. He is willing to sully the national honor, aud to repudiate tbe understood terms of a con tract, for tbe sake ot saving two per oent. per annum interest on the live-twenty bonds I We will not say that the saving would be inconsiderable. But it wonld be trifling in comparison with the damage done to the public credit, and the loss thus indirectly entailed on the business portion of the com munity. The proposition Is excused by Mr. Eving on the ground that resumption must be preceded by lunding. We Deiieve mat mis u a rever sal of tbe process that may best be employed that funding will be impossible until re sumption shall have been effected. This, how ever, is immaterial so far as Mr. Ewing is con cerned. He holds, with Mr. Opdyke, that the country having adapted itself in a great de gree to an inflated and irredeemable currency, need be in no hurry to return to specie pay ments. It can get on quite well without them, he thinks at least for some time; and when tbat time expires the change to be effected will be comparatively small. There is, un doubtedly, much force in this version of the case. It is preferable to the plans proposed for resuming by mere legislative enactment, as well as to plans for hastening resumption by merciless contraction. But if, as Mr. Ewlug holds, immediate resumption is neither expe dient nor possible, what oenceivabla reason is there for projecting a funding scheme as a preliminary to it, with repudia'ion as the foundation of the whole f The truth is that, unsound as oar present financial condition is, it may be borne still longer much better than the evils which a discussion shaped after the manner of Mr Ewing would assuredly entail, or which would as certainly follow an attempt to legis late us back to a gold basis by any means yet prescribed in Congress. What is wauted is judicious preparation for resumption, leaving the realization of it contingent upon circum stances hereafter to be developed. And, meanwhile, it is above all things expedient to repress disputes involving ine national iaun predicated upon demands which, as yet, Lave no aotnal exlstenoe. BRANDY, WHISKY, WINE, ETC. Y p- w- Y.
