The titu is close at hand for the primary elections of the Republican party in this city, and, while a large majority of the Republi cans, including all of the better classes of the organization, earnestly desire substantial re form in the character and capacity of their candidates, the political tricksters are going on as usual to nominate themselres for all the important places. Their rings are being per fected, their candidates are making their com binations, and the honors and places of profit of the party are being apportioned, in many instances, amongst a class of men who would be nnthought of if the masses of the party were voluntarily to express their preferences in the matter. Not only in this city is this the case, but in many sections of the State the same class of men apply the same ma chinery to defraud the party out of its honors and steadily weaken it by incompetency and dishonesty. Each year the cry of reform goes up from the independent press, and its necessity is appreciated more profoundly by the masses of the people; but each year the same un scrupulous men manage nominations, the same class of incompetent and corrupt men manage to get nominations, and through the force of party discipline they' have hitherto been only too successful in scouring elections. Now, however, the time has come when the Republicans will not tolerate the continued reign of imbecility and venality. The great issues of the war are settled. Reconstruction, like the war, belongs to history. Civil rights are established in every section of the country, and impartial suffrage is part of our fundamental law. The national and (State executives will - be Republican until 1872; the Senate must be Republican for at least another decade; the Supreme Court is faithful to the great prin ciples of liberty and justice won in the flame and blood of battle; all the logical results of the war are assured, and the full harvest gathered in the fullness of the triumph of freedom. Military and political "necessities" have passed away with the dark days which created them, and now the party that seeks to triumph at the polls must merit the confi dence of the people. Its candidates must be honest and capable; they xaust fairly repre sent the masses of the party; they must be free from reasonable suspicion of venality and treachery, er the people will rise in their might and restore the party to integrity and ability in its candidates by the decisive defeat of all men who foist themselves upon the ticket by chicanery or fraud. The time for a decisive movement for reform is at hand. The State Senators to be elected next fall will vote for a United States Senator in 1873 to take the place of Mr. Cameron, and the people should understand that pliable or corrupt men will be forced upon the Re publicans whenever it is possible to do so, in view of the next Senatorial struggle. Just now the masses of the party are not thinking of this issue. But if they remain un suspecting or indifferent, they may find to their surprise and humiliation, in the winter of 1873, that the Senators elected in the fall of 1870 have been nominated and elected solely with reference to the interests of some corrupt political pretender who seeks to climb into a seat in the United States Senate. Such has been the history of Penn sylvania for years past. The inflexible reign of mediocrity and mendacity has driven our best men from all hope of preferment, and the power and patronage of the party have been huckstered by small poli ticians like flocks in the market-places. In times of great peril good men have borne with this terrible and steadily growing perversion of power. They have closed their eyes and voted the ticket to save the Government in war and gain the full frui tion of our victories after peace had been won, but they will no longer be sold like fcbeep in the shambles, or be betrayed to advance unprincipled pretenders. Let the people in every Senatorial district see that honest candidates are presented, and let them be men whose blameless lives shall be the best guarantee that the wishes of the people bball always be faithfully respected. If others be nominated if corrupt or doubtful man, or men selected by those whose mean ambition is seeking advancement at the cost of the good name of the party let them be def sated, regardless of consequences! Every honest Republican must now feel that defeat is preferable to continued corruption and dishonor. If substantial reform is to be effected it most strike at the root of the evil. Reform in Pennsylvania, must be fundamental. In no other way can corrnptionists be hopelessly dethroned. Every Republican nominee for Senate and Assembly should be distinctly . instructed to support a constitutional reform. The debauchery of our Legislature can be effectually cured by enlarging the Legislature and diminishing its power. If we had oue hundred Senators and four or five hundred luerabera they could not be sold and delivered for every scheme of ambition or plunder that offered, and if their powers were limited, as they should be, there would be no teuipu tion for purchasable men to become lueiub r. If our Constitution should be amended to y that the Legislature shall not grant, revive, or revoke special privileges; thitt all corporate interests shall be governed Jy general laws; and that all euaetiueuU, ap propriations, etc., shall be so restricted as to clone every avenue for debauchery, our legislative junk-shops would sink at once to their original nothingness, and reputable and intelligent men would again consent to become our law-makers. Let a convention be called to reform our manifold and palpable abuses by enlarging our law-making bodies and stripping them of all special powers; and hereafter ripe and honest statesmen will be called to our high positions of responsi bility and trust. THE FENIAN FIASCO. The bravery of the Irish race has been attested on many a bloody battle-field, and they have given thousands of signal proofs of their deep devotion to their native land. In spite of their courage and patriotism, how ever, their best efforts to throw off the Itritish yoke have proved unavailing, and they will never attain that object while they place themselves under the leadership of men as rash and reckless as those who conduct the present expedition against the New Dominion. Any person endowed with a grain of com mon sense could see from the outset that success was impossible, and the idea that a handful of poorly-organized men could contend against the British forces arrayed in Canada and the restraining power of the United States is one of the most ab surd that ever entered into the head of a rational being. The whole scheme of the campaign is radically erroneous. General O'Neill, its acknowledged leader, began ope rations with the declaration that he would never recross the lines unless he was victo rious or dead. His arrest by a civil officer before he bad fairly entered the British terri tory, and when he was surrounded by his so-called troops, proves that he was totally unprepared and disqualified for the task he had assumed in this vainglorious spirit. History affords few more striking illus trations of the shortness of the step between the sublime and the ridicu lous than that furnished by the contrast be tween the chivalric gallantry of his attitude on Wednesday night and the circumstances of his arrest on Thursday morning. In his brief speech to his soldiers as he was about marching to the line he termed them "the advance-guard of the Irish-American army for the liberation of Ireland from the yoke of the oppressor." The chances of materially assisting Ireland even by the success of his proposed movement are too remote to be worthy of serious consideration. Every tyro in statesmanship knows that if Great Britain loses or voluntarily surrenders the New Do minion she will clutch the Emerald Isle with a tighter grasp than ever, and that the suc cess of the proposed Fenian operations on this side of the Atlantic would only have im posed new chains upon the people of their native land. The next sentence of General O'Neill's speech is at once absurd and an in sult to the American Government. He said to his soldiers, "For your own country you now enter that of the enemy." What is "their own country ?" They have come to the United States abjuring allegiance to Great Britain, seeking citizenship here, swearing that they would faithfully obey the laws and share our destiny, assuming all the privileges of men born on our soil, and going through all the forms that presumably convert them into bona fide Americans. If this conversion is so incomplete that Ireland is still their country in a legal or martial sense, they are practically aliens, and they have no right whatever to involve us in their peculiar quarrels or to make onr soil a recruiting ground for their proposed war. If they want to fight for their native soil, let them go baok to it and continue their struggles on its surface, ceasing at once and forever their attempts to treat the United States as a province or a dependency of thair imaginary Irish ' republic. Their whole scheme is totally inadequate to accomplish any better object than to give this or that branch of their warring factions an ascend ancy in partisan politics, or in the control of the funds of the organizations; but the leaders who aim at such ends should remem ber that while diverse theories have prevailed as to whether men can or cannot divest themselves of their native alle giance, nobody has seriously contended that a man can at the same moment be a genuine citizen of two oountries; and it is high time that the Fenians made up their minds whether they were Irishmen or Ameri cans. If Ireland is ever to be freed by American aid, it must be at such times and under such conditions as our national exigencies shall impose. Irish valor and Irish love for the Emerald Isle could be made irresistible ele ments of " strength under American direction, with the help of the Ameri can Government, if a war should break out between the United States and Great Britain. American citizens of Irish descent should wait, or, if they choose, work for this opportunity, and if, xneanwhile, instead of advocating British interests, as the bulk of them do by supporting free trade, they turned their political batteries against British industry, they would improve a thousand fold their chances of ultimate suooess. All the money and valor they expend on Fenian expeditions of the modern style are worse than wasted. THE SALE OF CADETSJ1IPS. The court-martial before which Commander Upshur was tried on the charge of paying a member of Congress the sum of $1300 for procuring a naval cadetship for his son have found hiiu guilty of pajing the sum for this purpose, but not of corrupt intentions, and have sentenced him to a rapriruand from the Secretary of the Navy, llow Commander Upshur could bo guilty at all of the charge and yet be innocent of corrupt intentions is something of a mystery, and th, finding and fcentonce of the court-martial are apparently as lunch a burlesque of justice as were, the pro ceedings of Congress on tbe same nubjeot. During tbe investigation into the sale of cadet blilps instigated by the Hocue of Repreuta fives, it was shown conclusively that the ap pointments to West Toint and Annapolis were regularly bought and sold, and so com mon was the practice that many members had ceased to think of it as disgraceful, but con sidered any sums that might be realized in this manner as part of their legitimate per quisites. After making a great noise the entire investigation fizzled out, and the only member of the House whom the committee chose to find guilty, instead of being ex pelled and disgraced, was let off with a repri mand from the Speaker. Under these cir cumstances a heavy sentence could scarcely, in common decency, be imposed upon Com mander Upshur, but that the House of Re presentatives and a court-martial composed of some of the highest officers of the navy should be willing to treat such a matter as if it were a trivial offense indicates a low moral tone in Congress and in the navy that bodes no good to the public service. Thk Lirikal Pabty at thk Roman Couwcn. Tlie London Timet recently published an Interesting letter from a French Liberal bishop at Home to a priest in France, describing in bitter terms the situation of the Liberal party at the council. "We found there," says the writer, "a system already in fall force the system of bandcaira. By way of satis fying onr complaints they have locked us up still tighter, and we are now enjoying a revival of the old brodfquin suppressed by Louts XVI. To tell the truth, it muBt ba confessed that our tormentors have done the thing with all imaginable grace. We found here a majority complete, compact, more than sufficient in number, perfectly disciplined, and equipped at need with Instructions, injunctions, menaces, powers of imprisonment, bribes. The system of official candidatures has been left many miles behind. Speech la still permitted us; but on what conditions ! Reply, discussion, explanation- all strictly forbidden. If you wish to speak, you must get yonr name put down, and the next day, or two days after, when tbe subject has got cold, you may come and bore the assembly with a speech. Even then to travel beyond the subjects of school boy themes Is forbidden (except to the gentlemen of the majority), and when one attempts to speak of liberty, of law, of the commissions, ol acoustics, of decentralization, of dlsitallanizatlon, one witnesses the recurrence of those tumultuous scenes which have silenced Cardinals Rauscher and Sohwarzenberg, and the Bishops of Cologne, Bosnia, and Halifax, while Moullns and ethers are permitted to introduce by force the great questions relating to the priestly life. The poor little minority has to contend against insult and calumny, and is hemmed in by the Civilta, the Vnivers, the Monde, the Union, the Onnervatore, and the Correvpondance de Rome. These Journals are authorized and encouraged. They raise the clergy of our diocese against us, and the olergy Is ap plauded. One of our body has ventured to attack his colleague, and he has received no official reproof. Behold our liberty! A cardinal Bummed up matters to me in these words, 'Mon caer, nous allons aux abimes.' " Who Discotkkkd Amrriua? The Colegne OazetU says that a Californlan savant named Ilanlay has created a great agitation in San Francisco by point ing out in a recent work that there wero Chinese m the country a thousand years before the Spaniards. Several German papers have thereupon remarked that as long as flve-and-twenty years ago Professor Neumann, of Munich, produced proofs from Chi nese sources of the discovery of America by that people. Earlier still Desgulgnes affirmed that Chi nese books spoke of a land In the east which can have been no other than America. Neu mann even brings to light an account of the travels of a Chinese monk and missionary to the realm of Fusang. That Fnsang must mean Mexico is evident from the details given by the monk re specting the geographical position and products of the country. Among these he mentions a tree of which the shoots were eaten, the bark made Into cloth and paper, and the sap Into an intoxicating drink. This is the Maguey, or great Chinese aloe, which Is still used for these purposes. This monk went to Mexico in A. D. 499, according to oar reck oning, but not as the first missionary, for five monks were sent there to spread the doctrine ef Buddha In 458. What Mr. Ilanlay further says respecting the similarity of certain customs among the Aztecs and Chinese, and the working of Buddhism upon the re ligion of the former, was also previously known. The list, however, Is new which he gives of cognate Aztec and Chinese worcs. Gavkoche the Arab of the Paris streets may be seen putting politics to base uses behind tbe police man's back in this wise: two sous are placed one on the other, in such a way that the eagle's beak kisses Cesar's head. A marble Is then dropped on the coins, the prime desideratum being to obtain what is called "concord" between the two, that la to say, all Ceesar or all bird of prey. The respective coins are called "Bonhomme and "Meg;" the origin of the latter appellation 4s Inscrutable. This Inge nious means of disposing of Gavroche'a limited means Is popularly known as the game of Plebiscite. If the shock of the marble falling produces two eagles, which means France alone and Independently of the Empire, this would denote the triumph of the opposition; wane two neaaa oewnen, on tne con trary, tne supremacy or tne jtmperor Napoleon, "Cm (liable la politique va-t-elle se nlcher?"
