2 THE DAILT EVENING TELEGRAPH -PHIL ADELPHI A, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1803: nrrxixT or thd rnuso. Editorial Opinion of the I.mriln Journal. I'pnn Carrent Topic Compiled Kverr Dnrfor tha Brenloii TeleKraph. CITY AND COUNTRY LIFE. from the y. Y. Tribune. It is wrong to got out of patience with fools. God mado them of course, for some .vine and good purpose, though we may not be able to comprehend it for the next hun- Sred thousand years. They must bo borne, Xe any other infliction, in tho pious, invin cible trust that all is for the best. We anxiously, persistently urge all who tiust soli their labor for a living to take it irhero labor is scarco and in eager demand, not attempt to sell it in a glutted, stagnant inarkot. What is there remarkable in that? We urge every one who rauBt live by his own exertions to work and save with fixed resolve to be able to employ himself at the earliest possible day. Then let him continue to work for wages, if he can make more thus than by working for himself (as very many can); but always ready to employ himself whenever no one else wants his labor who will pay him more than he can earn as his own "boss." What is there wrong in that? We do not disparage woiking for wages. Most of us began responsible life that way, and could do no better. We honor the man who earns a dollar per day by digging a good ditch; we prefer that he should not be contont to live and die a ditch-digger. We want him to dig out of that line 'of business in the course of a few years, and leave room in it for immigrants coming over and boys coming on. Let him use the highway, not choke it. As to going West, we think those who have considerable means can do quite as wo 11 at the South. Land, though not so cheap as it was, is still very cheap there; you can buy a sufficiency of tillage, timber, and buildings much oheaper there than at the West. But then school-houses more abound at the West, and your neighbors there are more ready to join you in providing the requisite roads and Lridges. For a man who must buy every thing with his own labor, the West will do, While the South is not yet in order. If you can chop, plough, plant, mow, etc., or can do carpenter or blacksmith work, you can almost certainly find work and fair wagos at the West; these are by no means so sure at the South. The West is still the poor man's Eden. "But there are twenty thousand out of work in Chicago alone." We don't doubt it. Chicago is a junior New York. Omaha is a junior Chicago. The multitude who want to live from hand to mouth that is, who want to eat as fast as they earn will crowd each other in Western as well as Eastern cities. Men, says an an cient poet, in crossing oceans, change their ekies but not their hearts. Ik is na more dif ficult to be a poor creature in Chicago than in New York. When we recommend going West, we mean something quite different from migrating to another cify and hunting up a new "boss." Wo would have each emigrant resolve to secure a home of his own, though ho bo obliged to make it. "But this involves privation and hard ship." Certainly. We are not familiar with any Safe road from poverty and dependence to thrift and comfort which does not. It in Tolves hard work for fully six days per week, plain food, coarso clothing, with any quantity of patches, and very frugal habits. If you cannot stand this, you will hardly mend your fortunes by going West. "What you propose can"t be done with out a pile of money." Yes, it can; for it has been. Northern Ohio was a dense, giant forest, whence the Indians had just receded, when its pioneers ftmde their way to it from New England radically farther off than Oregon now is. ery few of them had property, including oney, to the value of $;!)0; many had little fcsyond the clothes they stood in. They had tt pay more for their land than you need pay now; and it was four months' hard work for a diligent man to clear rive acres of timber, leaving the soil still covered with blackened stumps, and full of green, tenacious roots. Many settlers gave out, and.returned needy, despondent, fever-stricken to their fathers' Eastern homes. The greater number fought it out on that line gladly worked as hirelings for fifty cents per day, whenever they had a chance; earning thus a little meat and a little grain, which they often backed twenty miles to a grist-mill, and (when ground) backed home again. Many of them could not tell how they lived; but they did live, reared a log cabin full of rugged children, dug out into civilization, and died owners of good farms with large, well-filled bams and comfortable dwellings, which their children and grand children now enjoy. "But you wouldn't have every one take to farming?" 0 no! We would havo no one do that who has anything to do tuat suits him better. We are not advising those who are fully em ployed and fairly paid at present; or, rather, our advice to them is, "Stick to your work so long as it shall stick to you," aud thus save the means for making a Hank movement whenever work shall have left you. We are counseling those who do need advice, not those who don't. "But isn't farming a poor business? Isn't the country overcrowded as well as tho cities?" My dear sir, if you are inefficient you will tot get far ahead, no matter which road you ay travel. But what do you renlly mean by "arming being overdone ? Suppose you wore Lis day a sqautter on a quarter-sootion (ICO icres) of the natiopal domain, which is to be come yours when you shall have lived on it five years and paid sixteen dollars as land office fees: how are you to be harmed by what are called hard times ? Is produce cheap ? You will have to buy more than you sell for the next three years: how are low prices to hurt you ? Is business dull ? Your business, for the present, is to get part of your laud broken up and seeded. Are many out of em tiloyment? Your homestead proffers you work enough amply enough for every day of the next twenty years' ion will, lor quite while, be poor and out of money, whether bulls or bears are rampant in Wall street, and whether times are called hard or not. Once more we entreat every needy person who can to forsake or shun the cities, if only to give a better chance to those who would like to do so, but absolutely cannot. BTANTON AS JUDGE AN APPOINT- MENT "NOT FIT TO BE MADE." From the X. Y. World. Mr. Stanton acted so conspicuous a part Juring six or seven of the most eventful I ears of our recent history, that everybody as a pretty definite impression of his cha lacter. His enemies (and no one over ha 1 a greater number) think him a passionate, violent, headstrong man; malignant, despotic, and utterly unscrupulous; a fierce hater, ami Ilia I an I apologists nave never denied that be lias an impetuous temper and overbearing manners; but they claim that his imperious nature and despotio will singularly fitted him for the post of Secretary of War, and that the country owes him a great debt for the energy he infused into military operations. There has never been any difference of opinion between his foes and his panegyrists respecting the general type and structure of his character, which is as far removed as possible from dis passionate calmness, judicial impartiality, and reverence for strict law. No man could be more out of place than such a hasty, violent, imperious zealot on the bench of the Supreme Court. Law has been aptly described as "reason speaking without passion;" but this new-mado judge, who is appointed as a minister of the law, is a signal example of a mind in which passion bears constant sway. It would be easy to present a long catalogue of instances in illustration of Mr. Stanton's total lack of the judicial temper; but let one suffice. We select this because it is one in which the objeok and intended victim of his hot malignity was an illustrious soldier and patriot, whose great services should have shielded him, if anybody could be shielded, from the rash judgment and blackening accu sations of the Secretary of War. We of course refer to General Sherman, whom Mr. Stanton attemptod to ruin within a week or two after the assassination of President Lin coln, when Stanton was virtually the head of the Government. Nobody can havo for gotten the poisoned daggers with which the War Department then stabbed the reputation of that great and tried soldier. The tele graph was at that time under military supervision; not a despatsh relating to army matters was permitted to leave Washington which had not undergone Mr. Stanton's cen sorship. The telegraph was then suddenly convert 1 into a great engine of calumny to diffuse tho impression all over the country that General Sherman was a traitor. So damaging was this calumny, coming from such a source, that even Mr. Bancroft was misled by it, and donounccd General Sher man in his funeral oration in this city on the occasion of the Lincoln obsequies. Tho very worst of all thoso malignant telegrams was furnished by Mr. Stanton himself, namely, the notorious despatch which General Hal lock addressed to Slauton from the South (whither Stanton had sent him to look after Sherman), saying that he had given orders to all the generals to obey no order issued by General Sherman, and accusing hiiu, among other things, of conniving at tho es cupe of Jefferson Davis across tho Mississippi with tho gold of tho Rebel treasury. That despatch would have remained a secret in the War Department if Stanton hud not mali ciously published it. Its publication was not necessary to the public safety even if the accusations contained in it had been true. It could serve no purpose, and was intended to servo no purpose, but to defame and ruin General Sherman in advance of any defense, or any hearing, or any opportunity to rebut tho calumny. It is needless to ask whether the man who thus tried to blast the reputa tion of General Sherman, without waiting to hear his defense, possesses a cautious, in !; cittl turn of mind, or is in any respect fit ior a judge. It may be asked in wonder how President Grant, who at least knows that u judge ought to be cool aud impartial, and is a friend of General Shermuu, could have appointed such a man to tho bench of the Supreme Court. The truth is, that General Grant made the appointment under Congressional duress. All the Republican members of both houses united in pressing this selection upon tho President, nnd he dared not resist. He wanted his friend, Mr. Hoar, confirmed, abd knew that if he refused to appoint Stanton, Hoar would certainly be rejected by the Sonate, and that anybody he might nomi nate, in Stanton's place would proba bly share the same fate. Ho was coerced into making the appointment against his judgment and inclinations. And as if to show their contempt of their submissive slave, the Senate confirmed Stanton at once, the moment his name was sent in, and are still keeping Hoar in dubious and almost despairing suspense. Considering that it is one function of the Supreme Court to decide upon the constitutionality of laws, nothing could bo moro arrogant and impertinent than for Congress to dictate the appointment of judges who are to review its otmacts. By suffering this dictation, General Grant surren ders both bimself and the judiciary to be tools of Congress, thus aiding that body to break down the division of powers established by the Constitution, and make the will of Con gress supreme. Mr. Stanton is not only destitute of a judicial temper, but he is himself a deeply in terested party in many of the suits likely to come before him for trial. There is yet a multitude of unadjudicated questions arising out of the late war and involving the pro priety of much of Mr. Stanton s official action. In all such cases he is too deeply interested as a party to be fitly intrusted with the duties of a judge. In his dogmatic and biassed mind, every such case is decided be fore it can be brought to a hearing and argued. The most solid adverse arguments will make no more impression on him than a Democratic speech in Congress makes upon a liepnbucnn majority when they bave de cided in caucus to pass some particular bill. It is because Congress knows that Mr. Stan ton's mind is immovably mado up on the only class of questions in which Congress fools much interest, that the Republican, member insisted on bis appointment and forced Gene ral Grant to make it. With such men on tho bench, it is of littlo consequence whether the Supreme Court is stripped of its consti tutional jurisdiction or not, as tho cases are all virtually decided by tho interest such judges have' in clearing themselves. CORRUPT INFLUENCES IN PRISON MANAGEMENT. From the If. Y. Times. We understand the Prison Association, or one or more of its members, is preparing a report, at the request of Governor Hoffman, setting forth in detail the shocking abuses which mark the condition of the State Pri sons, owing almost exclusively to tho conver sion of the various offices couuoctod with their administration into prizes for poli ticians; and if we are correctly informed, tho Governor is sufficiently impressed with tho importance of the subject to be willing to recommend anything that may be neoessary even an amendment to the Constitution to take this wholo class of offices out of the political arena. Thero is pro bably nothing in the field of politics which more strongly illustrates the ex tent to which the principal players in the game have rid themselves of all scruples of conscience, than their application to the management of the prisons the rule of "rotation" to which they have subjected tho distribution of the rest of the spoils. As wo have more than onco said, the community can bear with a great deal that is bad and corrupt in politics, if it only have the admin- a double-dealing, perfidious friend. istration of justioe kept pure, instance, bear with the nrosei We can, for instance, bear with the presence of a very large element of corruption among city voters, if we have justices who will look up repeaters, judges who will not discharge them on habeas corpus, and distriot attorneys who will prose cute them. We can bear, too, with the pre sence of a great many scoundrels in Wall street, if we know that when they try to trip honest men up, or plunge the money inarkot into confusion, thoy will not havo the help of the judiciary in covering up their iniquities, and if sent to jail, will, while thero, have even-handed justice dealt out to them. In short, the administration of justice is the sheet anchor of society. If we keep that in good condition, the ship of state can ride out almost any gale. Now, our jails aro a most important feature in ur administration of justice. It is a great thing to have honest judgos, if only for the decision of civil controversies; but whother good judges are of any value in criminal oases depends very much on what comes of the prisoners after they leave the court room; and it is a lamentable fact but tnat it is a fact any one may satisfy himself by perusing the last reports of tbe Prison Association- that in this State they beenme tho prey of men in many if not most respects worse than themselves. There is, of course, a large class of persons who are not easily moved by the recital of prison abuses, so long as they consist simply in ill-treatment of prisoners. They consider punishment and not reformation the chief end of jails, and as lone as criminals are made to suffer, do not care very much how it is done. But then oven these persons will be concerned to hear that men who differ from the prisoners prin cipally in being dexterous enough to avoid the meshes of the law have got hold of the penal institutions ot the State, and are mak ing money out of them, by favoring unduly those who have money to buy tnoir lavor, and brutally oppressing those who have not thus preventing society from getting any real benefit out of the criminal s sufferings. Tho history of tho sojourn of Kohnstamm, the noted bounty worrant forger, at Sing rune, as told by the Prison Association, in cluding his private room, his cigars, his liquors, and the sociotv ol his wite, tonus a curious contribution to the literature of our judicial system. Wo h-.iv nothing hero of tho blood-guiltiness of permitting our prisons to be used by one set of knaves l'or the exploita tion of another set. o simply call attention to the expediency of the thing. Wo would now siiy one word to the Repub lican members of the Leirislaturo and Repub lican voters throughout the State about their duty in the matter, and that is, if Governor Hoffman takes it up this winter, don't look askauco ct his ivcommund.it ions and give yourselves no concern about them because he is a Democrat, or opposed to the fifteenth amendment, or sigud the Erie bill last win ter, lhe judicial system und tt:e prisons ought not to bo, we rcpoit. iu the political arena. It is every man s interest that they should bo reformed, no matter what his opinions may be on general questions of State aud l oderal politic-, and we shall never get them relornied without u union ot mou of all parties. Republicans and Democrats are still agreed as to the impropriety of lyintj, choat- iu" at least as regards all matters not con nected with elections and view murder and robbery with equal distaste. Let us take ad vantage of this unanimity whilo it laits, and put our house in order bv means of it. There is no knowing bow soon it may pass away. MR. HOAR AND THE SUPREME COURT LET HIM BE REJECTED. From the A'. Y. Sun. The Senate does well to pause and reflect over the nomination of Mr. Hoar to the po sition of Justice of the Supreme Court. He ought not to be confirmed. He is brought forward to fill the seat made vacant by the death of Judge Wayne. Judge Wayne was tbe only remaining member of the Court from all the States lying Bouth of tho Poto mac and the Ohio. His successor should be taken from that portion of the Union. io select .h. Kockwood Hoar ot Massachu setts as the representative of the Southern States in this tribunal, would be one of the most repugnant specimens of carpet-bag- lsm which bas marked tbe reconstruction era. Nor is thore any excuse for going to Boston to find a lawyer whose promotion to this high place is to satisfy the reasonable aspirations of the bench and bar of Richmond, Charles ton, Savannah, Lexington, Nashville, Mobile, and New Orleans. Not to mention other names from which to select in tho latter sec tion of the Union, there is Judge Erskine, of Georgia, an able jurist, a firm friend of the Union during tho war, and now District Judge ot that State; Mr. Speed, of Kentucky, who was for some time Attorney-General under Mr. Lincoln; and Thomas S. Durant of Louisiana, an accomplished lawyer of New Orleans. With these, and a long list of equally worthy and acceptable names to choose from, why force a carpet-bagger from New England upon the bench, and thus need lessly excite the prejudices and kindle tho animosities of the great body of the people, n respective of party, throughout tho entire Southern States? There are other reasons why the Senate should reiuse to confirm tho nomination of Mr. Hoar. Ho is a man of great infirmity of temper, habitually irritable and ungeuial iu Lis personal intercourse with others, and would bo very apt to so bear himself upon the bench as to be a source of annoyance both to lus associates and to tho bur. Iudeod, we learn that this constitutional infirmity of temper was the main reason why tho Gov ernor of Massachusetts did not appoint him Chief Justice of that State, aud why the legal prolession in the old Commonwealth were quite willing that he should bo transferred from its Supreme Court to the Cabinet of General Grant. If General Grant desiros to remove Mr. lioar iroui his councils, let him give bun a dismissal, and not try to relieve himself of too much Massachusetts iu the porson of an unpopular Attorney-General by transferring him as a carpet-bagger to so important a place as tho hupreme iiencu.
