It is now about forty years since the prin ciple was first reoognized that the local ad ninistratite offices of the Federal Govem eent were proper rewards for partisan Ulor, and that their bestowal was a prerogaMTe of the party in power.' Fresident Jackson was the first President who made praotical ap plication of the doctrine. Immediately after bis inangnration he entered upon a system of removals from office and the appointment f those who had promoted his election. The incumbents of almost every Federal office in the land, from the highest to the lowest, were removed to make room for adherents of the administration. As An illustration of how radical a departure from previous prac tice was involved in this course, it may be stated that Washington made but nine re movals in eight years, one of which was that of a defaulter; John Adams made but ten removals in four years; Jefferson but thirty nine in eight years; Madison but five in eight years; Monroe but nine in eight years, of which six were for cause, and John Qnincy Adams but two in four years, both for cause. The precedent established by Jackson has since been followed by each succeeding ad ministration. The principle was afterwards still further extended to "rotation in office," in order to provide for a redistribution of patronage in cases where a party maintained its power for a second successive term. The whole system was very soon demonstrated to be a bad one it ignored official experience, capacity, or integrity, and led to frauds and corruption. Still, the powerful stimulus which resulted from it, in the way of partisan discipline and control, prevented its being re formed, and it has finally become a recognized feature in the political management of the country. It is only within the last decade that a full sense of the demoralizing effects of the system has been experienced, or any serious attempt at reform been made. The opposi tion which has been manifested towards every scheme of reform has been very strong, and constitutes an humiliating demonstration that the springs of our political action have been poisoned, and that interest and not , principle controls. In 1861 a new feature was engrafted upon the old system, which, in its practical results, has proved most mischievous. After his inauguration, President Lincoln very soon discovered that the demands upon his time and the vast accession of anxious labor which had been precipitated upon the Executive by the war, utterly precluded him or his Cabi net from bestowing the attention to the dis tribution of the Federal patronage which had previously been given. The rule was there upon tacitly adopted, and has been acted upon ever since, that all purely local patronage should be confided to the Representatives in Congress, while the Senators should control the bestowal of offices pertaining to States or portions of States embracing several Con gressional districts, and be consulted as to the fair distribution of general offices among the States. In the emergency, probably no other equally practical plan could have been devised as a temporary expedient. While the war lasted it was a physical impossibility for the Fresident or his Cabinet to have performed the labor required by the old method. The consequence was that every member and Senator at once became the central figure of a political ring, and the object of local animosities on the part of every unsuccessful aspirant for office. It was a good thing for the country, undoubtedly, so long as the war lasted, to divert those animosities from the administration to the members of Con gress, but it was a very bad thing for the llepresentatives. We know of scores of in stances where bright political prospects have been ruined and districts thrown into the hands of the Democracy in consequence. ' If members fully appreciated the dangers of the brief authority which has been given them in the bestowal of patronage, they would regard it as a curse instead of a benefit, and with one accord apply the only sure remedy by the enactment of a Civil Service bill. They would thereby serve themselves and the country. THE GREAT UNWASHED. From tht'N. Y. Tribune. As the warm weather approaches, our neighboring village, Philadelphia, grows sluggishly uneasy, remembering the drought of last summer and the shabby trick which . her broken-down water works at Fairmount served her on that occasion. The supply of water was so low that, if New York had not sent aid in the shape of an engine, the conse quences might have proved fatal to all except those leading politicians who with wise fore sight abstemiously deny themselves the use of that liquid. Even as it was, the supply was meted out, so many pint cups for each house; the streets had been so long uncleaned save by a beneficent rain that no change was perceptible in them; but all washing, even of the babies' faces, was prohibited by autho rity. Of course nothing has been done in the matter Bince. Philadelphia cherishes Fairmount and her old families as the Cata combs do their mummies; the worn-out old engines creak away unmolested. There is every reason to suppose that the Philadel phians will remain permanently thirsty and unwashed during all summers yet to come, nnless Providence mercifully puts an end to her by a fire which New York is too busy to put out. We feel constrained to remonstrate se riously with this prosperous village, bent on its own destruction. For certain well-known defects of hers she is not to be blamed. Cities, as well as men, inherit business en ergy, intellect, and a-sthetio tastes; if our neighbor is hopelessly slow, deficient in lite rature and art, and gluttonously fond of ter rapin, these are misfortunes, not faults. It is.in her blood. Evidently she can't help it. But she was once at least houest and clean. Her founder and Washington were her sole models of excellence. Every house was built precisely like that of Penn, and every boy was born with a hatchet in his hand. Her honesty has unfortunately been hopelessly slaughtered by her How officers, and its ohost will never walk again. Upon that point we are silent. But cleanliness may yet be re stored. Philadelphia need no longer be marked, as she is now, as the filthiest city in the Union. Let our broad-brimmed friend pause and reflect upon the evils resulting ' from a lack of the proper use of the bath. Who doubts that the soar city of water in Paris has engendered . the morbid humors, the discontent of that revolutionary capital ? What might not M. Ollivier save in troops and statesmanship, if he would accept Mr. Dick's advice upon the problem of the mal content, dirty Parisian, and "wash him!" ' - Would that the Croton aqueduct could replace the Seine, and Paris smell sweet to heaven and mankind &0 flew York ; May not the mental and moral torpor of tmr neighbor be explained in the same way ? Who lives in mud muwt himself be muddy. Let us again earnestly urge reform ere it be too late. The hideous red-brick houses swathed in dust, and bounded by eanals of slush, are a spectacle over whioh angels and Gothamites might sorrow together. The story goes that Tins IX, who has a mania for cold water and clean skins, was ap proached by an American prelate, the other day,' for his benediction. With a twinkle of his eye the Tope gave it in Italian. "Ugly and dirty as thou art, I bless thee 1" We are afraid that, Infallible or not, his Holiness' patience would give way if our neighbor came as a supplicant. There are degrees of ugliness and nnoleanness which neither gods nor men can forgive. THE RING AND CHARTER REFORM. JVoro tht A'. Y. World. A scheme of munfoipal government for a million people can-iot be composed under one huckleberry buBh in a summer's after noon. Yet, because Senators Genet, Norton, and Creamer are taking time to deliberate and perfect modifications of its structure which will command the approving votes of the country Democratic Senators and Repre sentatives, constrain the votes of the ring members, and deserve public approbation, Republican newspapers are assailing them for delay, and joining with the organs of the ring to spread the impression that they are "compromising" "selling out the fight against the ring." These charges are false. The Senators we have named and thoir as sociates in the Assembly are faithful in the cause to which they have given such vigor ous and effective support. The hopes which the readers of the World may have founded upon their co-operation in its war upon the ring are as reasonable as, and are nearer realization than, they have ever been. Not one of those Senators is capable of compro mising with the ring, and all of them ore wide awake to the fact that the ring was never to be more warily watched than now when they put down their hands and confess defeat. The lion's skin has failed, and they will, if they can, eke it out with the fox's. A review of the work of the session which, so far at least as the Senate is concerned, is in advance of former years will clearly show that public business has not been delayed by the necessary delay in the discharge of the most important duty they owe to their constituents. In the first place, the Republicans have so long had control in the affairs of the State that there is scarce one city or village charter which has not been made a contrivance for assuring them some party advantage. The result is that the Democracy, so long imposed upon, are now presenting new or amended charters for almost every city or village of importance in the State, asking of the Legislature to undo this radical gerryman dering and restore to them their rights of self-government. New York city has not been the sole sufferer from this protracted radical rule. Other cities have suffered considerably, if they have not suffered so much. But to repair these wrongs has taken time, and will take more time. The charter of Utica has been amended already. Rome has been made a chartered city. The charter of Auburn and the amendments to the char ters of Sohenectady, Albany, Saratoga, Roches ter, Lockport, Batavia, and Yonkers, as well as those of other important tewns, are pend ing, some having passed one House, and all contemplating the restoration to the people of their rightful power of self-government. That, as we have said a dozen times, was the significance of the Democratic victory won in this State last fall; and the Legislature is hard at work redeeming the pledge upon faith of which it was elected. The work of twenty years cannot be wholly undone in one year's legislation; but this Legislature will complete the best portion of a great reformation. But it is the reform of the government of New York city which most interests the peo ple on this island; and they will better ap preciate the work that is doing for them if we disclose tojthem some of the difficulties of the situation. The destruction of every ring-and-radical board in this city lets loose upon the radical members of the Legislature a horde of dis contents, and brings to bear upon them and upon radical newspapers a pressure which few of them will be disposed and none of them will be courageous enough to resist to cast their votes against any charter or any bill proposing to accomplish that destruction. Radical votes in behalf of local self-government for New York city cannot be had. Cor ruptible members would fear to be charged by their party press with selling their votes; unimpeachable members will not be bold and magnanimous enough to resist the pressure of radical newspapers and ring-and-radical office holders. But the Democratic majority in the Senate would be lost by the adverse votes of the two New Y'ork ring Senators. For some mea sures, like Kiernan's election bill giving to the people the choice of election officers, those Senators cannot but vote. They would not dare obstruct their passage by uniting with Republicans to defeat them. Indeod, in the Assembly Republicans united with Democrats to carry Kiernan's bill by an almost unanimous vote, and in the Senate, with some modifications, its principle is sure of as general support. For other specifio measures those ring Senators might with more safety refuse to vote. To one plan they might oppose thoir practical veto under pretense that some other plan would be bet ter; and by this or that hindrance known to experienced legislators, and certain to receive the assistance of mischief-making radical Senators, all measures of reform might be staved off for a week or ten days, and so pre vented altogether; for a joint rule provides that all bills introduced after the 15th of March bhall not be considered in either House, save by unanimous consent, until all bills earlier introduced have been hrst dis posed of. But our war upon the ring would certainly be lacking in a most important victory if the nresent session of the Legislature were suf fered to elapse without some changes iu our municipal government adapted to tear up tne wide-spread roots of ring domination. It will be no excuse for doing nothing that not everything can be done, ine federal (Jon Btitution for three millions of people ocoupied the wits of some able men for several months. Even to natch our State Constitution has twice used un a long summer in the lives of two generations of our statesmen. A perfect charter for this city of a million people would be well worth six montns or more oi a con vention's labors. Y'et much can be done, much must be done, in the short time that remains, and all mcst be done to which the two ring Sena tors dare not deny their votes. The three anti-ring Senators whom we have named nave spent their time well if they have do vised such reforms in our city government as must constrain tne unwilling votei of those t two men, despite that the result of those, re forma be to shut out tfum and every member of the ring from pubiie uie iot wm reo oi their days. ' These things, at least, the honest Demo crats of New York city demand of the Legis lature: 1. An election bill giving in some fair way the choice of election officers to the people, and securing to the minority party a repre sentation in the guard at the ballot-box. Ring rule here cannot survive an honest ballot. If the Tolice Commissioners' inspectors and canvassers were to sell out the spring elec tion, they could not save the ring from de feat in the November election, with the peo ple's inspectors and canvassers to receive and count the votes. 2. A revision of the charter making the terms of office of the Mayor and of all the appointed heads of departments terminate at the same day and date, so that all the powers of government may be grasped by the people ancT a revolution wrought in one election. That is popular government and responsible government. If the ring Senators dare vote against kills giving New York city these two things, then we propose to make New York city entirely too hot to contain the bodies or souls of the two aforesaid Senators. TOE APPROACHING POLITICAL CAM PAIGN THE NEW LABOR REFORM PARTY. From tht N. Y. Herald, We are on the verge of a new political campaign. . The signal gun will be fired to day in the New Hampshire election. It is apprehended, too, that in that quarter the two guerilla factions, known as the temper ance party and labor reform party, will some what iiiom range the local plans and general calculations of the Republicans. In any event the political campaign of 1780, which will be opened in New Hampshire to-day, will be in its results of the highest importance, in reference to the Presidential succession and the dominant party under the next ad ministration. The Congressional elections of this year in September, October, and November will determine the political complexion of the next House of Representatives, and upon that House, in the event of an indecisive scrub race for the next Presidency, may depend the election for the succession. And why not a scrub race in 1872 as well as in 1824 ? The year 1824, the last of Monroe's administra tion, "the era of good feeling," was marked by a new organization of parties. The old Federal anti-war party, under many defeats, had gradually melted away, and the old Re publican party, under Monroe, had fulfilled its mission. Thus it was said that the people were "all Republicans and all Federalists" under Monroe. Out of this happy state of things, however, four Presidential factions came into the field in 1824 the factions of Jackson, Adams, Crawford, and Clay. The election was thrown into the House and Adams was chosen. The results were a charge of "bargain and sale" against Clay by the iriends of Jackson, and the fusion of the factions of 1824 into the Jackson and the Adams parties of 1828. Thus the late domi nant Democratic party and the powerful Whig party were, brought into existence General Jackson being the founder .and dictator of the one and Henry Clay the embodiment of the other. The slavery agitation "the almighty nigger" was the ruin of both these parties. It demolisned tne Wing party in 1852 because of its disturbing anti-slavery affiliations, and it broke into pieces the Democratic party in 18(.0 because of its rampant, domineering, pro-slavery, disunion, and secession excesses and tendencies. It is probable that tne Southern Democratic pro-slavery ultimatum of secession would have been tried in 18.1G bufforthe interposition of a third party the Enow-Nothing or American movement, under Fillmore which cleared the way in Pennsylvania ana Indiana lor uucnanan. in 18C0 this third party hod disappeared, and the Democracy, broken up North and South, between Douglas and Breckinridge, on slavery, opened tke way for Lidcoln anA the new Republican party, boldly marching under the ensign of "No further extensions of slavery" into any of the Territories of the Union. Then came secession and the Southern pro slavery Rebellion. Next, in the midst of the war, came the re-election of Lincoln on the merits of his proclamation, as a Union war measure, declaring slavery abolished in the Rebel States. Next came the contest between Congress and Andy Johnson on Southern reconstruction, in which Johnson was baffled and beaten at all points. Next the election of General Grant on the reconstruction measures of Congress as issues settled by the war; and now, at the beginning of the second year of Grant's administration, we have the settlement of all these issues of reconstruction the abo lition of slavery, the enlargement of citizen ship and equal civil and political rights, re gardless of race or color, fixed in the Consti tution "the supreme law of the land." So completely has this amazing revolution been carried out that a citizen of African descent now sits in the Senatorial chair left vacant in 18fil by Jeff Davis. Thus, saving Mormon polygamy a mere incidental issue which is settling itself the mission of the present Republican party is fulfilled. It has no other platform now than General Grant's administration, and General Grant's policy is the mild metheglin policy of peace, economy, retrenchment, reform, and the execution of the laws. He has evidently resolved to make a good record of his act ministration of the Treasury; and his firnt year's report of nearly one hundred millions reduction ot tne public debt, as compared with the dencit of tne last year of Johnson, is something to be proud ot. bo is the ar preciation of the government note bearing the image of Secretary Chase to within thir teen or fourteen cents of the gold dollar. So is the fair prospect of an early resumption of specie payments and a steady extinction of the debt, and a steady reduction of our national taxes, without any very serious shocks or fluctuations in our financial general business affairs. Upon this exhibit, and with the Democratio party still adrift, the Republicans, under the banner of Grant's administration, one would think, have but little to fear in the elections for the next Congress. We understand, how ever, that this new labor reform party of New Hampshire is part of an extensive organiza tion working with a view to the next Presi dency; that it counts upon all the trades unions of the country; that in Governor Geary, of Pennsylvania, it has already singled out its Presidential candidate, and that it actually calculates upon wielding the balance of power in the election. If, therefore, these labor reformers show any signs of strength in the steady State of New Hampshire, their initial skirmish in that quarter will become a matter of general importance. We see, at all events, that, as in 1824, all the old party dividing lines being obliterated, the field is open for new parties and new issues, and that the Republican and the Demo cratic parties, as they stand, are but loosely held together. We see that the laboring masses of Lbs country are restless and chafing under what they hold to be the despotism of taxes, banks and capital; and we soo that after tremendous revolutionary exoitemenU and the advances of the last ten years the publio mind win naraiy do satisfied with "tne cankers of a calm world" and the masterly inactivity of Grant's administration. PARTIAL REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL TO LONG BRANCH. Frtm tht X. Y. Sun. The social excitement of the Washington season having come to an end for the present, General urant, discovering at last that state dinners and pell-mell hobnobbing of Presi dent, Congressmen, and diplomats have not as much influence upon recalcitrant repre sentatives oi the people as he expected, is naturally anxious for an early adjournment of Congress, in order that be may resume his travels and his enjoyments on the seaside and on the mountain tops. He has already designated Long Branch as the peculiar spot of bis affections, and the centre from which he will make excursions wherever dead-head entertainments and free railroad passes may be most tempting. Long Branch, then, may be considered the summer capital of the na tion. The Western people who wish to have the political metropolis moved to the Valley of the Mississippi may not like it, but that makes no difference. With this temporary transfer of the Presi dency, a general break-up of the Cabinet is to be expected. Mr. Fish, if the repudiation of his Cuban policy by Congress should not compel him to resign his office, will soon be watching the white sails on the Hudson. Mr. Robeson, on board one of Porter's steam yachts, will cruise about again in splendid luxury, like Cleopatra of old. Judge Hoar will seek solace in the Emersonian shades of Concord, and ponder then and there the way wardness of the political mind and the mulishness of Senators. General Belknap may perhaps betake him self to Keokuk, and receive the compliments of the good citizens of that lively town on his refusal to violate the law by giving Por ter the appropriation for the Darien survey. Mr. Boutwell will fall back upon his Groton farm, and from that vantage-ground chal lenge the Rothschilds and the SeligmanB to take a loan at 6 per cent., 6 per cent., and 4 per cent., all at the same time. Mr. Cres well, the statesman of the alabaster brow, will retire to his country-seat at Ellicott's Mills, and coolly rejoice over the abolition of the franking privilege. But poor Mr. Cox, having to attend to the Indians, the pensioners, the Land Bureau, the census, the Patent Office, the prisons, the lunatio asy lums, and sundry other philanthropic duties, may not be able to leave, and will probably be the solitary representative of the Ameri can Government who will remain in Wash ington. The corps diplomatique, the reporters, and the girls of the period, skirmishing all the time at the threshold of what is facetiously called the Republican Court, may be expected at Long Branch simultaneously with the Executive. This will be an excellent thing for our worthy friend Stetson, and for the other hotel proprietors of the national sum mer capital. They may all confidently look forward to a golden harvest, considering that by that time the country will probably have returned to srjecie navment. The capital-movers will no doubt rejoice at the migration of the President; but whether this ambulating tendency of the Chief Magis trate is in harmony with the dignity of his position and with the traditions of his office is altogether another question, upon which the people may by-and-by have something to say.
