FEDERAL PATRONAGE.
Wm tht K. T. Tfmr. - .
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.
