THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1870. flnn.IT 07 sna muss. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph . PHILADELPHIA AND POLITICAL RE FORM, from the HarrUbury Patriot. In speaking of the little influence which is possessed in Congress by the delegation from Philadelphia, one of its newspapers declares it to be "in many respects the first city in the conntry." So far as the character and ability of its representation in the State Legislature are concerned, Philadelphia is without doubt the smallest city of its size on this continent. For years and years the State oapitol has been disgraced by the worst gangfrom Philadelphia that ever polluted the halls of legislation. To the members from that city the people are indebted for the organization of those rings which put tip every important act of legisla tion for sale. It is to break up the evil power of these men that the demand for some mea sures of reform has become universal ( "throughout the Commonwealth. While con fessing the bad character of their representa tives, tho people of Philadelphia have not made an earnest effort to shake thorn off. The lot is growing worse with tho return of every year. There is annually some loose general denunciation in the city newspapers which strikes no one, and there the matter ends. The nominating conventions meet, and the same candidates are placed before the people. In the midst of a few faint and timorous protests the ma chinery of the party is set in operation, and the election of the nominees follows as a matter of course. Not less than thirty-four thousand citizens of Philadelphia, according to statistics, refrained from voting at the last election. In thiB way they silently protested against that ring which has taken possession of the ballot boxes and put an end to popular elections in Philadelphia. They felt their inability to break its power and they volun tarily disfranchised themselves. The Union League on Broad street is be coming quite active in the cause of constitu tional reform. If the future of that organi zation may be judged by its past there is little room to expect any goodfrom its efforts. When did the Union League ever attempt to make a head against the infamous delegation to the State Legislature that Philadelphia annually vomits? Beneath the shadow of the League and under its auspices, some of the worst of the Legislative gang have been elected. The work of constitutional re form is to be started in the coming Legislature. On the legislation of next winter much will depend. Yet what effort has ,the League made to send an able and upright delegation from Phila delphia ? Not the slightest that .has been made apparent to the public. Its zeal and sincerity in behalf of a reformed constitu tion may be well judged by the character of the delegation which it has assisted to send to the Legislature. It is not the purpose here to attempt to create any divisions among the true friends of constitutional reform. Some thing must be done to bring down the evil power of the gang in the Legislature, or the Commonwealth will be utterly at their mercy. But it does seem that the Union League on Broad street does not possess modesty as one of the graces of its organization, else it would not so soon after emerging from an election in which it made no effort to exalt the character of the Legislature, set up its staff for constitutional reform. It has too many of the stains of the last and former elections on its garments. With all the parade of its zeal not much is to be expeoted of the League, or of its influence for good on the delegation from Philadelphia. That in famous registry law which has plaoed the rights and liberties of the citi zens of Philadelphia at the mercy of the gang of which William B. Mann is the head, and William M. Bunn the tail, is a bantling of the League. Its author is generally understood to be Charles Gibbons, who ngurea prominently in the recent movement of the Union League in behalf of constitutional reform. This is the institution, secret in its character and parti san in its aims, which seeks to lead the peo pie of Pennsylvania in the path of reform with the delegation which it has assisted to send to the next Legislature. SECRET ABY COX AND THE CIVIL SER VICE. From the K. Y. World. It has been the misfortune hitherto of the attempts at reform in the civil service that nobody could be made directly responsible for its abuses. The conspicuous instances of corruption were charged to the defects of an inherited system which everybody, even the men who found their account in its con tinuance, affected to deplore, but which nobody saw his way to Bubvert. But the zeal of an honest Cabinet officer has com pelled the head of the civil service either to acqniesce in measures of reform or avow him self the champion of corruption. Most men would have shrunk from the shamelessness implied in the latter procedure. But, as numerous ana reeent examples nave shown. the sensitiveness of Mr. Grant is not at all delicate. It is fortunate in this instanoe that he is as obtuse in intellect as he is toroil in feeling. A more sensitive man would not nave openly espoused corruption. A cleverer man would have constructed a specious plea to save appearances. But a stolid and stupid uiu iii ueuerui uruui a puuiuuu would ao precisely what General Grant has done, and show both his inability and his carelessness to conceal his sympathy with corruption and his antipathy to its opponents so plainly that the wayfaring rural radical editor, though he nrora r ftrnnlAv'a fvninal "little cannot err therein. Here accordingly is what some of the staunoheet supporters of Air. Grant s admin istration say of Mr. Grant's virtual dismissal or Secretary Cox: From the tfitsouri Democrat.) The President bas delivered himself over, a com nlete caDtlve. to the meat unscrupulous men la ton gress. At their dictation he almudons pledges and professions, dismisses his most trusty and houor- auie auvutrs, at tempts to control state elections, and makes war UDon the earliest aud ablest Kenu b. lteaus for adhering to the very policy which he pledged himself to support If he fancies that all de sire lor reiorm can ue overpowered by bis tingle name be U very much mistaken. To be sure, the Republican! whom the Democrat represents have taken issue with the President upon a question of State uolicv. But no 6uch qualification can be given to the animadversions of such a journal as the Chicago liepubuean, which says: 'It shows as a President who virtually acknow. ledges himself to be in the bands of the worst and most unscrupulous men In the .Republican party, and who readily sacrldces a faithful friend and an koie minister rawer than make an issue witb them. Uenernl Urant la all tha more inexcusable la this matter because of the great nourish with which on bis accession to the Presidency, lie announced' his thorough independence of politicians and his deter mination to keep entirely aloof from them lu bid ad ministration of the Government. Johnson's folly made the 4th of March, 18G, a welcome day to the American people. - (J rant's blundering Imbecility, If r rsisted In much longer, will convert the 4th of March, 1378, Into a fit occasion for national thanks giving." From tht Chirano Pout. The President has made a mistake a mistake that Is painful and mortifying. He has been sur rounded, Jostled, deceived, cajoled, bullied, and at last made a prey or, by the swarm of political bnm niors who live and thrive by a division of the spoils. Misled by these knavish partisans, he has been In duccd to countermand the orders of Secretary Cox for the purification of the Interior Department, to overrule and defeat bis efforts for the inauguration of Ihe much-needed civil service reform In Wash ington, and finally to drive him it. to premature re tirement. f 'rom the Cleveland Herald. J Olosi It as despatches may, explain It to the ex tent of the Ingenuity of Washington correspondents, the neonie believe that the resignation of Secretary Cox Is due to bis arm endeavor to reform the civil service. From the Ronton Transcript .1 "After the Victory the Plunder," Is the very fitting title the Washington correspondent of the Adve liner gives to the statement that, Secretary Cox got rid of, a New York political committee- has begun to assess the clerks in the Department of the In terior, refusing to listen to any excuses. For the present, therefore, it is to be assumed that the pay ment of a fee for party purposes is to be one of the conditions exacted of those belonging to the civil service, no matter bow much the civil service suf fers In consequence ! I From the Pittsburg Commercial.! It Is best that General Grant should know that he cannot carry with htm the Republican party or any considerable part 01 tne people, outside or me fol lowers of the fatal advisers to whom he has listened In the Cox ail'alr. From the Toledo 13lale.- What are we to understand but that the President, at the command of the invading host of politicians, bad surrendered and left no other alternative t- nis faithful minister but to resign? Why should he think of retiring If be could have the assurance that the all-controlling power of the Presidential oillce would be used to promote the reforms on account of which be Is threatened 7 Of course, General Grant finds some apolo gists in the Republican press. But this thing is too open to be blinked, and the apologists for General Grant a course are so few and their utterances so uncertain, and so feeble as to be in ludicrous contrast to the general and outspoken burst of indignant remonstrance. lor example, tne Cincinnati uazeltc, after admitting that Cox was rewiovcd because he opposedcorruption, is guilty of the manifest absurdity of predicting that Delano will be sustained in opposing corruption. "The removal of Cox," its words are, "was un doubtedly a triumph for the corruptionists; but Delano is able, Delano is politic, Delano is this and that as if it were at all likely that a hungry vagrant would be at ail appeased by being refused his breakfast in an able and politic manner. "It remains," says the Gazette, "for Mr. Delano to continne the policy of his predecessor the policy, N. B., for which his predeoessor was dis missed, lest anybody should continue or imi tate it. Such sophistry is too palpable to need more than stating. 'Ihe 1'ortland 1'ress demands to know if General Grant is "another Hercules, that t'we expect him by a single effort, at the first trial, by his own unaided strength, to reform abuses that have been flourishing for years." No, we don t think General Grant is another Hercules. But if Hercules, instead of stran gling the serpents, had submitted to be swallowed by them, and even had the polite ness to oil himself that he might be gulped down more easily, we should accuse him of a more serious fault than lack of Herculean strength. I inally, a very foolish paper in Phuadel phia, the Bulletin, has the combined imbe cility and impudence to say that Secretary n : .. . : , .1 i -t i i i uujiii icoiutiiiuii una ouuueuiy revouieu iu these masses, whose essential national virtue has been tried successfully in the fires of the Rebellion, that their honest leader, President Grant, is struggling in vain against an enemy more tireless, more persistent, more skilful. more reckless than those that confronted him at Vicksburg, at the Wilderness, or before retersburg: ana mat "the Presidents ac ceptance of Seoretary Cox's resignation is an appeal to the country against the 'politioal managers' whom, only, the Secretary of. the Interior has offended. And the appeal will not be made in vain. The defenses are as frivolous as the indict ment is damaging. In whatever direotion the reform of the civil service is sought, it is now evident to everybody that it cannot be sought with any chance of success while General Grant remains where he is to thwart it. THE CHINESE BOGEY. From tht X. Y. Times. A great many of our mechanics and work ing men appear to be getting themselves into a distressing state of alarm and nnhapniness. because certain Mongolians prefer tho United States as a place for earning their living to the "Central Kingdom. To the minds of these terrified individuals, unpleasant phan toiEB are constantly presenting themselves. of reduced wages and employment difficult to find. Ihe intelligent industries of our coun try are, in their view, in imminent danger of being crushed by an avalanche of ignorant and degraded Orientals. Something must be done. Congress must be petitioned. The Stato Legislatures must enact laws. The people must assemble and pass resolutions. The contingency is immediate. The orisia is a fearful one. Laboring men and journey men mechanics must arouse themselves. Honest toil must be protected, and tho dig nity oi tne working classes preserved, if it should turn out, in the course of a few years, mat all these apprehensions are groundless, it would not be the first time in the history of the world that people had been badly ingntenea about nothing. A Chinaman is by no means deficient in an appreciation of the value of money. The difference between fifty or seventy-five eents a day and a dollar and a half or two dollars U one that he is naturally capable of seeing as clearly aa an American. If he can get ten dollars for a certain amount of work, he will soon not only fail to be satisfied with five dollars, but will learn to refuse nine and three-quarters, ne might be unable to ex plain in English the great principles of poll tical economy under which he does this, and would, perhaps, find it difficult to eluci date them even in Chinese. But he prao ticaiiy recognizes ana acts upon these prin ciples as truiy as Doys piaying ball recog mze the laws which govern the motion of projectiKs. Iut, as a question of fact, what has hith erto been the effect of the emigration to tha fnnited States of working men from countries where labor was cheap ? Iu what department or inuuBiry nave tne millions who have come here from Irelaud and Germany diminished me rate oi wages r Making every allowance xor tne amerenoe between our present cur rency ana goia, me pay of tuese classes has, in the last nlty years, increased in no ease less than twenty-bve per cent., end in many instances bas nearly doubled. If there is any substantial reason for appre bending lower wages from the influx of Asiatics, which did not exist forty or fifty Eears ago from the influx of Europeans, we ave never seen it stated. The Chinese, it is said, nave been accustomed at home to small wages and cheap living. But from what part oi i-urope nave- any grcfci number vi emi grants come, the majority of whom were 1 accustomed to anything else? The habit of living on ' short allowance is one which human nature commonly finds little difnoulty in getting rid of. The European emigrants to this country nave formed a marked Illus tration of this fact, but we see not the slightest evidence that the facility with which men can accommodate their ideas to an in crease of income is confined to the Cauoasian race. It is not at all improbable, indeed, that most of the Chinese will, for some time after their arrival on our shores, work for less wages than Amerioans, for the simple reason that, on account of their ignoranoe of our language, their services will not be worth so much. A man who cannot understand a word his employer says, and has to be talked to by signs or through an interpreter, must usually be contented with comparatively small remuneration. But the disadvantage that hinders his getting what other men re ceive will prevent, in a corresponding de gree, his becoming their competitor. 'inero Las been lately, among certain classes of the community, a growing feeling that the best way for a man to improve his own proppects is to prevent somebody else from getting a living. The ideas of our me chanics, for instance, appear to be often much more directed towards hindoring men, outside of certain cliques and combinations. from obtaining employment, than towards perfecting themselves in a knowledge of their trade, bimply as a matter of policy, not to speak of its injustice and not unfre quent cruelty, the whole system by which they seek to carry out such ideas is wrong We believe that mechanics would, in tha long run, got a groat deal more by striving to make their work intrinsically valuable, than by efforts to keep up prices by creating an artificial scarcity of it. And we believe that the liberal spirit of our fathers, which allowed the emigrant to come freely to our shores, was the best policy even for the inter ests of the very classes with whom he was brought most into competition. It was, as events havo abundantly shown, a wise policy then; and there is no reason why it is not equally so now. We have, as n people, re garded America as tho asylum of the destitute and oppressed of all nations. Our position before the world will be worse than absurd, if, when the Chinese, or tho inhabitants of any other country, desire to avail themselves of this hitherto justly boasted refuge, we de liberately begin to exercise our ingenuity in contriving means to keep them out because they are poor at home. THE CAMERON roxSPIRAOY. From the Pittvburg Com . c a ( . Washington despatches assert that the President is much surprised and chagrined by the publication of Gox a correspondence. particularly by the contents of tho letter of the Secretary, "the purport of which," we are told, "General Grant does not appear to have noticed before it appeared in print." A despatch adds: "Now that Cox has seen proper to publish the cor respondents covering his resignation, it is under stood that the real cause of his leaving the Cabinet will be mad) known from an ottiulal source within a few days, and through the same channel that the correspondence was made public. The friends of the President feel that In Justice to himself, not less then to the Kepublican party and Its representation in Congress, some notice must be taken of Cox's letter of resignation." Remembering the character of former de snatches undertaking to explain this matter, the publio will not be in haste to accept any mere say-so in preference to tne published letters. One can readily comprehend that the President realizes the embarrassments of the position in which he has been placed by Cameron, Chandler ft Co., who now that they have accomplished their object, will be found moro intent on the spoils they have won than defending the President before the publio. Months ago we said that Cameron and some others who had up to that time been unable to use General Grant, had determined to ruin him. We said this on information. . We said it because Simon Cameron, while in one voice was professing friendship for General GraLt, in another was saying things that none but an enemy could utter. He is doing the same thing now. While he is all praises in ceitain places of the President for his part in the Cox matter, in others he is gloating over the progress of his plot to ruin him. It gives us to pleasure to say this, but it had better be said. The very courtesies and apparent friendship of Cameron for General Grant have been planned and timed as a part of the vengeful plot. Cameron inwardly rejoices over the embarrassment of the President in the Cox matter. He rubs his hands in hearty glee because he has brought the President iu conflict with almost the entire Kepublican press representing the true sentiment of the party and country. Simon Cameron is Gene ral Grant's greatest enemy from deliberate Semeditation. He has used language and is .11 givirjg utterance to thoughts and expres sions about the President which none but a bitter foe would utter. Cameron is all the more dangerous as an enemy, because he is cloaking his enmity under the guise of friend ship, lie is pulling the President down while professing to support him. He is persuading him. to do things which he knows the country will never approve. His design is to load the President down with embarrassing acts and false steps, and at this moment is congratu lating himself on the success which has thus far attended his efforts. We say these things from a sense of duty and in true friendship for General Grant. We conceive it to be the office of true friend ship to utter warnings against enemies in disguise to point where the serpent is con cealed. General Grant can feel sure of the confidence and support of the country so long as he acts on his own judgment and up to his convictions of what is politic and right. We need not be told, as we now are, that the President only since the publication of the correspondence has come to realize how the matter looks, to make us believe that it was not his act. It was the result of the Cameron conspiracy, which, now that it is exposed, should deprive the actors in it of influence hereafter. - BED CLOUD AND GENERAL GRANT. From th A. Y. Sun. Red Cloud seems to have withstood all the blandishments of Mrs. Fish's tea parties at the White House, and to have returned to the wilderness with a highly philosophical idea of the white man's civilization. , In the opinion of this Indian sage, Anglo American civilization culminates only in people's cheating each other, the rich gob bling up the poor and fattening upon the land thty stole from the aboriginal owners of the soil, lied Cloud's theory bas evidently keen framed under a seuso of the grievances of his race, and bears somewhat too harshly urou the Cauoasian oooupants of this couti n nt. But it should be remembered that he saw con 3 but the most paltry side of Wash ington society, and it is no wonder that his aboriginal imagination was not dazzle by the flimsy show which was got up at thii Executive Mansion for LU benefit. - If the Irdiaa thief had gone among our hard working and skilful mechanics instead, and observed how faithfully they perform thoir duties, he must have felt more respect for the white people. It is sad that General Urant should be the first President of the United States to forfeit the reRpeot which has led the red mn from time immemorial to revere the President as their Great Fal her. Indeed, Red Cloud goes so far as to declare, with tne simplicity and directness which are peculiar to primitive men, that be is asnamed of his Great Father. because he is guilty of falsehood and duplicity. It is only fair to wait for tne exculpation of General Grant from these grave charges, be fore deciding upon tuo controversy which has thus unfortunately sprung up between him and Red Cloud. In the meantime, however, it is evident that he hai lost his prestige among the red as well as among tho white men, with the essential difference that while nnaboriginal Americans resort under such circumstances to the ballot-box for the redress of their grievances, our Indian brethren are but too apt to brandish the tomahawk. The melancholy duty will devolvo upon General Grant's agents among the Iudians to inform them that Great Fathers, are killed off peaceably in the white men's country every four years, especially if they have not be haved well; and that consequently the red as well as the white people must compose their souls in peace until tha arrival of that blessed Anno Domini 1872. At present the Indiana seem to live under the impression that Gene ral Grant is to remain their Great Father for all eternity. It is of the utmost importance to rectify this little mistake at the earliest moment; and we trnst that the Indian agents will take care to attend to this correction without a moment's delay.
