THINGS MAIN TO BE SEEN. J
tYom the A. 1'. Nation. i
" TfcS lTeftidebt, from whom some pontons
we confess we were of the nomber expootei
some nhhifitance iu the work of reforming the
ciTil service, has been dnriug the past few
months doing a good deal to aggravate some
of its worst evils. The Hickles appointment
watt B'artliiJg, bat Sickles had at least a "war
record." That of Mr. Murphy to the colleo-'tnt-aiin
nf this tmrt wah the first ooea indica-
1 -' r i - . .
tion the public had that the hopes excited m
the earlier "days of the adrniuMtratiou were
going to be disappointed. Mr. Murphy's sole
- nlaim to General (IrADt's confidence rested on
the fact that he was au active, energetia, un
scrupulous New York politician of the "fast"
tjpe, versed in all the arts and devices
peculiar to his clasn. lie belongs to
a school which, during the past six or
seven years, has amused and dis
gusted . all l intelligent people in this
city by its profe-tsious of intense
sympathy with the great "moral ideas" of the
' llepublican party, and with its horror of trea
son and corruption, bnt which finds no diffi
culty In famishing Tammany Hall with plenty
' of candidates for its minor offices, and which,
nrViild f rnwniTM nn Fink nnd TarAHri in nnhlin.
' is only too glad to dnnk their champagne in
private, and laugh with them over the nps
and downs of their common profession. In
deed, Mr. Murphy's love of horses, and his
thorough knowledge of the art of using
"offices" for party purposes, are the enly rea
sons, so far as our kuowledge goes, whioh
anybody has ever had the audacity to
put forward 1 for putting him at the
head of the , custom bouse through
which the Government reoeives by far the
larger portion of its revenuo. Nince his ap
pointment we have heard no complaints
whatever from the corrupt and disreputable
band who form the Republican committees
in this city of the "mismanagement" of the
party, and we are not surprised to hear that
the unfortunate clerks, whose salaries are
already insufficient to support their families
decently or to save them from crime, are at
this writing undergoing an assessment, nomi
nally to help to save the country from trai
tors, but in reality, as far as this city is con
cerned, to prevont one gang of peculators
from being ousted by another.
This has been followed more recently by
wholesale dismissals in Missouri of officers
who were so ill-advised as to side with the
S';hnrz wing of the llepublican party. It
would have been perfectly proper and reason
able to have forbidden all Federal oflioers to
participate in the contest. As between two
sections of Republicans about whose fidelity
to the fundamental ideas of tha party organi
zation there is no question, and who have
separated either on questions of strictly State
interest, with which the administration has
nothing to do, and on which the President
can hardly pretend to have an opinion to
which Missouri men are bound to defer, or
on questions of Federal policy on whioh the
Republican party in Congress has hitherto
found no difficulty in differing the duty of
the administration is simply one of neu
trality, and neutrality it ought to enjoin on
all its otlicials, u it enjoins anytning at all,
It is hardly necessary to say to rational men
that no party was ever yet saved from defeat
or rain by these devices. If its ideas do not
retain sufficient hold over the people to make
its triumph certain, the dismissal of luke
warm or hostile clerks and postmasters will
not save it; and it is a fact worth remarking
that, ever since tne present tenure or. omje
was introduced, the vigor with which this
moans of insuring victory has been used has
'. ' , always been in the inverse ratio of the party
. strength with the public. w nenever tne ad
c ' ministration begins to apply the whip sav
aelv to the poor jades in the publio offices,
it ia almost a Kure sion that its reliance on
better things is growing weak. "Party dis-
. cipline in the custom-nouse and tne mar
glials' offices and the Treasury was nevor
1 se strict as in Buchanan's day, when the
enemy was at the gates. In the Cabinet,
there are two firm friends of civil service re-
luriu ittu wen wuu uio uuuviuveu luuv,
until the American people insist on it, we
, , need not look for much else from a change
" of parties than a change in the nature and
": " instruments of corruption we mean Mr. Fish
and Mr. Cox.' The possibility of making
much change for the better in his departmeut
was taken out of Air. JFioh's hands at the very
outset by Mr. .Washburne, who, having been
appointed to the State Department ad
interim, as a compliment, for one short fort
night, seized that opportunity of filling all
the consulates and other offices with his own
, ' erAfttnrna Ami baneers-on mi nnnrrtOAdnnhAr!
v ; : performance, which might have prepared
eveybody, and did prepare most people, for
' the exhibition which he is now making of
himself in Vans. Mr. isn came into omoe,
therefore, tied nana ana loot, ana sinoe then
, : , the Tresidfent, whos appanage the diplo
.' : matio . service is, has apparently labored
.i under no restraint. The appointment of
- bickles and dismissal of Motley are acts
'- which do not admit of explanation, and for
wmcu it wouiu Do juuicrous 10 apologise
, " ; ' ., Mr. Cox has fared better. He has managed
r, .to introduce into his department and par
,i ticularly the Patent Office and Census Jiu
: reau by simply putting in foroo a law wkioh
his predecessors disregarded, a real test of
the intelligence and education of candidates
for office, by substituting a lioaa-fide examl
nation for a chat and a smoke, and the result
is that he has now a set of employes suoh as
the United States has not seen in its civil ser-
' vice for many a long day. It is needless te
, , ' say that this has made him intensely obnoxi
' oua to "tne men inside politics, wno are
" laboring zealously for his removal, aud whose
hands Lis , colleague in the ' Treasury
,. ',. strengthens very. materially by studiously re-
pudiating all desire for a change, and giving
up his great army of ' subordinates to be
, "rotated," intimidated, and cheated, as the
sub-managers of the party and the more un
scrupulous Congressmen may please, and pre
tending to look on this seething mass of ras
cality and corruption as a necessary incident
. of "democracy. . From the President at leant
' Mr. Cox was entitled to look fer hearty and
contiguous support, and wt are not prepared
to say tnat ne has accoraea Dim no support;
" t bat jpfcen we Bee him compel Mr. Cox, on the
'. request of intriguers, to accord clerks a se
, , oond vacation in one year, under full pay, in
order to enable t&eiu to go Home and vote.
when they had been previously informed that
,, . they . must either take their vacation at the
Voting period or forfeit their pay if they a
second time withdrew from their duties, we
' find it very hard to say what it is the publio
' tervioe owes him, either as regard its eSi
' ' cienoy or discipline. 1 It is bad enough to
' ' allow one of fcu secretaries to make the Trea
snry a hot-bed of low jobbery, but it is worse
not to stand by the others who try to do
better.
Now, we do not mean to say that the worst
results of peisistence in this policy are yet
visible. The Democratic party still manages
to behave in such fashion as to keep the Re
publicans in power almost in spite of them
selves.' It would be hard for them to get into
any scrape from whioh the Demooratio chiefs
would not da a good deal to extrioate them.
But one does not need to be a sage to see that
even Democratic support is wearing out, that
we must have new ideas and new plans, and
that those new plans must be questions of
practical reform. We mast have a party
which will reform the civil service, and so
take out of politics the great element of that
con option whioh is day by day appalling the
public; we must-have revenue reform, and
thus dry up another sonrce of corruption, from
which Congress is the most direct sufferer,
but the effects of whioh on the industry of
the country are also most pernicious, we
must, too, have minority representation,
which will give that half it is only a slight
exaggeration to call it so of the voting popu
lation which is now excluded from all direct
share in the Government, and whioh contains
a great deal of what is most thoughtful, con
scientious, and intelligent ia the population 1 '
a chance of being beard in tne legislatures.
We must have the Cabinet offioers on the
floor of the House, so that the country may
have fome better means of finding out what
the Executive is doing than tne gossip or
Washington correspondents and the ex parte
statements of hostile and expectant Congress
men. There is a generation growing up
rapidly to whom the controversies on which
the Republican parly is trying to live came
only as a tradition oi a state oi tniogs oi
which they have had no experience, and
which will not be much longer amused by
catch-words, and to whom the old po itician
and his esquire the old editor are becoming a
pair of ancient and diverting persons, whose
battle-cries are curious, but not exciting.
TnE WAR QUESTION AND ITS POLITI
GAL FEATURES.
From the K: F. Herald. i
The report of M. Jules Favre on his mis
sion to Prussian headquarters, snows more
clearly what was apparent before the im
placable character of the war on the part of
Prussia. It is now, to all intents and pur
poses, a war against the republic of France
and against republican institutions ana ideas.
It is just such a war as the Holy Alliance of
rxonarcbs waged against tne first l'ronon re
public, only la the present case the King of
Prussia is fighting it single-handed and has
no aimed allies, though he has the good-will
and moral power of tne crowned beads and
aristocracies of Europe to back him. It is
the same spirit which led the English
monarchy, the French Imperial Government
and other monarchical governments of the
Old World to favor the Rebellion in i the
United States, with the hope of seeing this
ereat republic destroyed. Ibis course is
natural enough, however impolitic it may turn
out; for republicanism is a standing protest
iicaiust the ruling monarchical families, ab
folutism and privileged orders, whioh regard
the people as their inheritance just as men do
their real eetote.
Count Bismarck has said that Prussia is
not makiDK war on the republic it we can
rely upon the reports he has been careful to
reiterate that on several occasions, as if he
were conscious of the enormity of fighting
the liberal ideas of the age and saw the neces
sity of appeasing the rising indignity of
poudlar sentiment in the world. But his acts,
or the acts of bis master, liing William, snow
the oontrary show, in fact, that the object
is to break down the repuhiio In Jb ranee.
King William does not fear France so much
as he does the republic No doubt he is
greatly embarrassed as to what government
can be established there and the part ha
should take in deciding such an important
and delicate question. Though be made war
at first against the Bonapartes, and though it
was said he did not wage war . against , the
French nation or people, only as a necessity
to put down Isapoleon, whom he designated
as the disturber of tne peace of tne world,
there seems little doubt that be would now
gladly restore the Bonaparte empire, if that
were possible, or he would reoogmze an Ur
leanist or any other royal pretender rather
than see the republic established. But he
cannot see the way clear to any such result,
The consequence is he continues this fright
fully bloody war against the French nation
inter the first and only avowed object was at
tained.
It might have been possible to have main
tained an imperial or royal government in
France had the King of Prussia negotiated a
peace with Napoleon ' immediately after the
battle of Sedan. Or u the Emperor had de
clined to negotiate and preferred to remain a
prisoner in the hands of the Prussians until
the war Bbould be absolutely closed, either
from fear of returning to Paris or to em bar
rakB tne situation ot things, there was the
regency to open negotiations with. Had the
King acted on the tpar of the moment then
he might have treated with the regeuoy in
Pans, or, at all events, before it left the soil
of France. But after the Emperor beoame a
voluntary prisoner for he oould have fled to
Belciufet and the Empress, with the Prince
Imperial and the whole of the imperial gov
ernment, bad abandoned France, what was
there to treat with but the provisional gov.
ernment of the newly proclaimed republio?
The opportunity was lost to' the King, and
the prosecution of the war from bis stand
point then became necessary. The oharaoter
of the war was changed at once. It was, as
we said before, no longer against the Bona
partes, for they had all fled, but against the
nation ana the republic
Our remarks with regard to the embarrass
ing situation of affairs caused by the hostility
of the Prussian monarch to republicanism
apply also to the great powers which have
refused to recognize the republio. England,
Russia, and Austria must be blamed, and
especially must England, for the continuance
of the war and the present embarrassing situ
ation. Had these powers, or had England
even, followed the example of the United
States, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, and Portu
gal, in'ieoognizing the republican provisional
government, Prussia oould not have refused
to treat with it And why should they not
have done so f It was the only government
possible. It was to all intents and purposes
a de facto government, to whioh the whole
French nation gave virtual adhesion and sup
port. Had It been a kingly government in
stead of a republican one, neither England
nor tne other powers would nave found any
difficulty in according it recognition.
We may regret that Jules Favre and his
colleagues did not accept the terms Bismarck
said he was willing to grant for an armistioe,
exacting and humiliating us they were. But
why was the Prussian monarch so inexorable?
He bad nothing to fear.- His position gave
him ample guarantees without demanding
humiliating terms. His conduct has all i the
appearance of a purpose to crush the republic
by e mbanwsMug its government and reduoing
the French people to the tnont miserable con
dition. He may fail in this, however; for the
very means be uses to that end may arouse
the heroism of the nation and consolidate the
republic Why, after all, need there be so
roach fear of a Frenoh republic? There is no
more conservative government in the world
than that ot the United States or of Switzer
land. The Frenoh of the present day are more
instructed in the matter of government than
tteir ancestors. They have been taught by
long and sad experience to appreciate liberal
institutions, ana under a republio bow they
,may become a blessing to Europe as well as
Spacefill and prosperous. among themselves,
ct them have a chance. They are among
the most advanced civilized nations of the
world, and to attempt to destroy them would
be an outrage, and must reaot fearfully upon
their implacable enemies. Let the French
follow the example of the great Amerioan re
public, and assimilate their institutions as
much as possible to ours, and then they may
establish a lasting republican government.
There is no reason why suoh a government
should not be the means of Beonring the pence
of Europe, as well as its progress in liberty
and civilization.
THE PHILADELPHIA OUTRAGE.
from tk$W, iy World. - ; " ' r- -
It is difficult to restrain ourselves witW
the limits of decorum in what it becomes us
to say of the outrage perpetrated in Philadel
phia bv the United States Marshal, under
color of the Congressional eleotion law. We
have already given some of the reasons for
regarding this law as palpably unconstitu
tional. That it is a naked usurpation of
powers not vested in Congress we entertain
j - - rr.i - - i .T . .
no oouui. iiie construction ana operation
which the Federal authorities have given it
in Philadelphia prove the correctness of our
strictures. Here is a law whioh undertakes
to authorize marshals to keep the peace in
the streets of a city at eleotions by employing
a military force to displace the - local police
authorities and the constitutional provision
under which this power is claimed is a clause
antheming Congress to regulate the winner
of .holding an election of members of that
body I It is superfluous to say that this
provision was never . designed to
comprehend . anything but a power - to
deteimine whether representatives in
Congress shall be chosen in districts or by
g neral ticket, and now the votes shall be
received, when there exists any reason for
changing the State regulations on these
points. But the popular tribunal, to whioh
the press addresses itself, will not author!
tatively determine the validity of this law,
We confine ourselves therefore, at present,
to the avowed construction and operation
given to this law in Philadelphia. There can
be no doubt that the . Marshal acted under
pi eviouB instructions from the President a
military man, given to. military methods
and we trust that not a moment will pass
after the assembling of Congress without a
can I or those instructions, jjur, with or
without instructions, the Marshal undertakes
to appoint deputies to keep the peace at aa
election, and to back them by a military
force, i his he j usuries under a section of
the act which purports to clothe him with the
power of appointing deputies tokeep the peace,
while it is in another section that the Presi
dei. t is authorized to employ the army and navy
to enforce the general provisions of the act.
Let the people then direct their attention to
the fact that Congress has interfered to sweep
into the bands of the Marshal of the United
States, on his sole judgement of the supposed
exigency, the whole control of the peace of
any "city containing more than twenty thou
sand inhabitants," aDd to authorize him to
fire upon and kill in the streets people whom
the said Marshal judges to be disturbing the
peace. Let us suppose that the commanding
cihcerpf the marines had ordered his men to
fire on the crowd in the streets of Philadel-
hia, and that death had ensued. Unless all
aw in Pennsylvania is prostrated under the
military heel of ueneral Grant, the officer
would be indicted and tried for murder. He
must then justify under some order; and he.
pioceedsto justify under an order given to
bim by the Marshal to fire on the citizens in
the street engaged, in the Marshal s judg
ment, in breaking the peace at an eleotion!
-Can an thing be more monstrous? Yet this
is exactly what this act of Congress comes to.
according to its administration in Philadel
phia and the understanding of his powers and
duties by the Marshal. The people of this
country cannot have forgotten that, if there
is one principle of the common law more
sacred, important, and indispensable than
another, it is that inflexible rule which re
quires the employment of military force in
the preservation of the publio peace, to be
under the control of responsible civil
magistrates. When, in the Lord George
Gordon riots of 1780, all London was for
days at the mercy of a mob and the
military had to be called out, not a
bayonet was lifted or a shot fired or an indi
vidual arrested by the military tfntil the King.
in his capacity of supreme civil magistrate,
had given the necessary orders for the
soldiers to act; , and our own laws are
saturated with the principle that death in
flicted by a soldier, in the preservation of the
peace, is murder, unless the order to inflict it
is given on tfu spot by the magistracy in
whom the law has specially lodged that
power. Do our rulers at Washington imagine
that the people will to erate this power in
the bands of a marslial, and that a marsliai
can be authorized to use a military feroe
under the pretext of keeping the peace ? Do
they suppose it is to be tolerated that United
Btatis marshals shall be empowered to "arrest
for any offence or oreael of tne peace com
mitted in their view," under a Constitution
which gives no cognizance whatever : of
breaches of the peace to either the military
or civil authorities of the United States? : If
they do, they have something to learn con
cerning tho laws ofthe land and the spirit of
the people. We advise all who may be con
cerned in the direction of soldiers to keep
the peace in our streets to remember, when
they proceed to use foroa, that behind them
stands the hangman duly . appointed by law
for all who oommit murder. :.,
Enough for to-day.- This matter will not
be allowed to rest. Our people will act as be
comes a oomuiunity of law and order, pos
sessed of the needful means for preserving
them and protecting citizens in their civil
privileges and the safety of their lives. .. i
