RE8IGNA TION OF SECItETAIt Y COX.
All further controversy with regard to the
reasons for the exit of Secretary Cox from
the Cabinet has been silenced by the publi
cation of the letter of resignation and the
President's reply to it. This correspondence
has been given to the public, it is understood,
by Mr. Cox himself, and in reading it the re
fusal of the President to sanction its publica
tion is not difficult to understand, for the rea
Bons assigned by Mr. Cox for his retirement
are well calculated to make the chief execu
tive officer of the nation feel heartily ashamed
of himself. Indeed, the most promising sign
about the whole transaction is that the Presi
dent is still capable of being ashamed of a
mean and cowardly action that is doubly dis
graceful and damaging to his administration
from the fact that it was done at the dictation
of such men as Senators Cameron and Chand
ler, two of the most notorious political job
bers in the country, who have long lost every
claim to the consideration of honorable
men. Mr. Cox plainly and unequivocally
assigns for tendering his resignation as
Secretary of the Interior De
partment the same reasons that
we did, with the single exception that he
mentions no names, but it requires no Daniel
come to judgment to tell us who were the prin
cipal agents in banishing him from the im
portant post that he has filled with so much
honor and credit to himself and with so much
satisfaction to the public. The following
words of the ex-Secretary deserve to be pon
dered not only by the President bat by all
patriotic men, who now view with the most
serious apprehensions the corruption that
disgraces our national politics:
"When Congress adjourned In the summer I was
creditably Informed that a systematic effort would
be made before their reassembling in the winter to
force a chango In the policy we have pursued in the
Interior Department. The removal of the Indian
service from the sphere of ordinary political
patronage has been peculiarly distasteful to many
influential men In bath houses, and in order to
enable you to carry your purposes out success
fully I am satisfied tiiat you ought not to be em
barrassed by any other causes of irritation In the
same department. My views of the necessity of
reform in the civil service have brought me more
or less Into collision with the plans of some of our
active political managers, and my sense of duty has
obliged me to oppose some or tneir motives or action
through the department. I have no doubt whatever
that public sentiment will, sooner or later, sustain
the efforts at what I regard a9 needed reforms, but I
ought not to overlook the fact that for the present
they Involve opposition which It may not be for the
interest of the administration to provoke, and as my
personal tendency Is to be rather more than less
persistent In the course to which I am committed, I
deem It my duty to place in your hands my resigna
tion of the office of Secretary of the Interior, to take
effect as soon as you can conveniently determine my
successor."
The acceptance of a resignation couched in
these terms means nothing more nor less
than the surrender of the President to the
Indian "ring," a discontinuance of any
further real efforts on the part of the Execu
tive to reform the civil service, and a tacit
consent to, if not an open endorsement of,
the thousand and one corrupt schemes that
nine-tenths of those who voted for General
Grant expected he would fight to the bitter
end. It is useless for the President's apologists
to oontend that he has been compelled to
yield to tricksters of the Cameron and Chand
ler stamp because they have it in their power
to embarrass him by refusing to confirm his
appointments in the Senate, by refusing to
support his measures, and by interfering in
innumerable ways with the machinery of the
Government, with a view of giving him an
noyance and bringing his administration into
discredit; for if the President were the right
kind of a man, and inflexibly de
termined upon carrying out reforms
that he knows the nation desires,
all the opposition he would meet with in
Congress would only increase his popularity
and render his re-election certain. No man
who has sat in the Presidential chair since
Washington has had a greater opportunity to
mould the destines of the nation than Grant,
and no one except Andrew Johnson has shown
less taot in dealing with those who have been
thrown in contact with him. He has dis
played a singular disposition to insist to the
verge of obstinacy upon matters of no par
ticular Importance, while in things of the
greatest consequence he has submitted to the
diotation of politicians who have long ago
loBt every claim to the regards of honest men.
Senator Cameron has doubtless impressed
the President with the idea that he (Cauie
rotn) is all-powerful in Pennsylvania, and
that by aoceding to his wishes the adminis
tration may certainly count upon the support
of this State and the future sucoess of the
Republican party. If the President had
been as well posted as he ought, he would
have known that Cameron has absolutely
bo influence in Pennsylvania except such
aa he obtains by the expenditure of ready
oash, and that the fact of suoh a man as
Cameron having the ear of the Exeoutive is
calculated t do more to peril the future suo
cess of the Republican party than all the
efforts of the Democrats would ever be able
to do. That the President will in due time
find out mnoh more than he wants to know
about Cameron is certain, but then the
gAwaga will be dona and the old
Wig warmer will pocket his indi
vidual gains as he gives both the
President and the Republican party the go
by. That Presidont Grant sincerely intended
to establish and carry out a great reform
policy we sincerely believe, but he has made
a terrible mess of it, and the retirement of
such men as Attorney-General Hoar and
Secretary Cox, with the prospective retire
ment of Postmaster-General C res well, from
the Cabinet, while they are certainly
moBt discouraging indications of the
complete demoralization of the admin
istration, should stimulate the friends of re
form throughout the country to make even
greater efforts than ever for the accomplish
ment of their objects, and the Republican
papers will be doing a greater service to their
party, to the administration, and to the nation
by plain Fpeaking than by attempting to ex
tenuate or apologize for evils that need to be
dealt with in a most positive manner if they
are to be done away with.
TUB FALL OF MEIZ.
Im ppite of the contradictory stories relative
to the true causes of the surrender of Metz,
there is scarcely room for doubt that the in
habitants of the beseiged city, as well as the
French soldiers, were suffering fearfully
for want of food, and thus confronted with
famine on the one hand, and a irresistible
army on the other, the most plausible theory is
that Bazaine was literally forced to yield. If
the representations of the special correspon
dent of the New York Herald are correct, the
General who is now so fiercely denounced by
the Provisional Government pursued the only
practicable course open, as it would have
been useless as well as inhuman to suffer his
troops to perish by starvation. We see that one
of the journals of Tours calls upon the Pro
visional Government, in view of the sur
render, to consent to an armistice, and to
order elections for a Constituent Assembly at
once, so that the real will of unhappy France
may find legal expression. This seems to be
good adviee. It is either the fault or the
misfortune of the Favre administration that
it has been unable to effectively resist the
invaders, and the people should be suffered
to freely choose for themselves whether they
will submit, for the time being, to such terms
as the Germans are likely to impose, or
whether they will make new and more
vigorous exertions to defend their "sacred
soil."
TIIE CENSUS.
Ix is slated that, in consequence of the com
plaints made of the inaccuracy of the census
in New York city end county, the President
has directed that, so far as a count of the
population, with the divisions of age, Bex,
and color are concerned, the census of New
York shall be retaken. There are many rea
sons why a similar course should be adopted
here, as there can be no doubt that the census
of Philadelphia is more grossly inaccurate
than that of New York. It is now well un
derstood that in one or two wards of this
city where a decline of population in the last
decade was reported, in the faen of a largo
increase in the number of voters, the assis
tant marshal manifestly failed to discharge
his duty on account of threats of violence.
This is a lamentablo confession, and it fur
nishes an ample cause for retaking the census
here even if no other cause could be shown.
It is reported, however, that the Superin
tendent of the Census Bureau, with the self
sufficiency which too often characterizes such
offioials, pronounces the returns to be imma
culate; and as it is extremely doubtful whether
the claims of Republican Philadelphia to a
recount will be as favorably considered as the
clamors of noisy Democratic New York, we
should depend upon ourselves, and Councils
should hasten to perfect a scheme for ascer
taining our true population. We publish
elsewhere in to-day's Telegraph a de
scription of the census system in Great
Britain, which is much more accu
rate end complete than the American
method, and is therefore well worthy of
the attention of those who wish to have the
contemplated work well done. The plan
suggested in Councils of appointing five
policemen in each ward is partially liable to
the serious objection that it imposes on each
officer a heavier duty than he will be likely
to discharge quickly and properly. In Great
Britain, it will be seen, each enumeration dis
trict is very small, the average number of in
habitants being only 537. Congress, in
arranging the present census system, has
had carefully in view the petty object of cre
ating a host of little offices, each one of which
was made of sufficient importance to add to
the partisan influence of the donor of this
patronage. If we are to have a municipal
census this error should be avoided. What
the public want to know is how many bona
fide residents there are in Philadelphia (and
it would be well if the entire enumeration
could be completed in a single day),
a,nd the desire of politicians to
make capital out of this matter
should at one 3 fcive way to
considerations aff cting the publio welfare.
If five policemen, only, for each ward are
appointed, some of them will have districts
counting a population of nearly ten thousand,
and there is little doubt that in such oases the
enumerators would omit to count a portion of
such a large number. If half the entire
police force of Philadelphia act as enumera
tors, they could, by a proper subdivision of
labor, and the previous preparation of
schedules, complete the oensus in a few dajs.
Whether policemen or other appointees are
chosen, the leading feature of the Briti. h
system small enumeration districts is
worthy of imitation.
Sec'rjtaev Cox's Resignation. 1 he Action
says: "We are able to say positively that there la
not a particle of foundation for the stories which
have been set afloat that Secretary Cox' resignation
was due to 'personal reasons,' such as hi inability
to live on his salary. He knew perfectly what the
salary was before he took the place, and has never
complained or thought of complaining of It as insuf
ficient. There has been only one cause for hla re
tirement, and that is the failure of the President to
sustain him against the politicians lu the matter of
cjvll-servlce reforai, Tuts would appear fully If the
correspondence between him and the President
were published. Mr. Cox's lips are sealed for the
moment by a very proper sense of official deoortim ;
but Ms reticence furnishes a strong reason why the
President should either publish the correspondence
or check the exertions which some of his pretended
friends are making te spread false versions or the
cause of the rupture. We may add that they are
anything but friends of the President who are circu
lating the report that he and Mr. Cox have had
differences about the McQarrnhan claim."
