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

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

here from Irelaud and Germany diminished

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.
