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

the more intelligent population will conduce

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.
