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?"
