EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF THE LEADING JOURNALS tTON CURRENT TOriCS COMPILED EVERT DAT FOR THE EVENING TELEGRAPH. INCREASING TOE ARMY. Prom the A". 1'. Sn. It is remarkable how President Grant's favorite measures all look to the increase of the army and of the publio expenditures. There is his San Domingo swindle, in connec tion with which he has concentrated half the navy around that island for use on the side of Baez in his civil war. If the job of an nexation should be put through, we should have at once to raise and send out a force of twenty-five thousand men to fight the Hay tiens and the Dominican rebels. Then here is Grant's Ku-klux bill, now before the House of Representatives. It is based on the as sumption that a rebellion exists in the South, and, if it becomes a law, it will require a large and immediate increase of the army to execute its provisions. If we are to have a suspension of the ha beas corpus and the proclamation of martial law wherever there is a murder or a riot in that portion of the country, an addition of twenty thousand men to the army is the smallest number that will suffice to give effect to the Presidential decrees which this law will em power General Grant to issue. If Congress proves sufficiently subservient to enact this Ku-klux law at the dictation of the President, how can it refnse to give him the necessary means for carrying it into effeot ? Are the people prepared for this ? Do they believe that the Southern States are in rebellion against the National Government ? Are they ready to raise and send into the held this new force of twenty thousand men for warlike1 operations, calling for lavish ex penditures of money, carrying despotism and terror through ten States of the Unioo, and clothing Grant with larger powers than Lin coin was intrusted with when the North was resisting an armed Confederacy embracing ten millions of people ? Grant is plotting for a renominatica. Greedy, unscrupulous, ignorant of the Con-kutnt-'on, and reckless of consequences, he courts power to accomplish his purposes, lie has pushed Congress to the verge of the precipice; but is it not time for the Republicans in the House of Representatives, before which this dangerous measure is pend ing, to pause and reflect whither their steps are tending? Fifteen or twenty Republicans in that body can defeat this unnecessary and unprecedented bill. Let them do this, and thus save their party by thwarting the machi nations of a man who is ruining the great organization which, in a confiding hour, in trusted him with the Presidency. SHALL WE CARRY PENNSYLVANIA NEXT FALL? From the Lancaster (Pa.) TnteUijencer. Shall we carry Pennsylvania next fall? This is a question which the coming State Convention must decide. Much, very much, will depend upon the character of the candi dates. A mistake in the selection of our nominee for Auditor-General may easily con vert all our fair prospects of suooeus into as surances of defeat. The office of Auditor General is one of decided importance, and the people of this State are just now in such a peculiar mood that some little thing in the political history or the personal charaoter of the candidates may determine whether a .De mocrat or a Republican shall be elected. The Democracy must put forward one of their very best men for Auditor-General. He must be no political haok with a battered reputation. He mn&t, above all things else, be a roan of the most unquestioned and un questionable integrity a pure, honest, high minded gentleman. Supposo, for instance, some man who has won for himselt' an unen viable reputation in the State Legislature should be nominated? Does any one sup pose he could be elected? For such a one it would be impossible to rally the Democratic party, and the many Republicans who are now ready to unite with us would be repelled and driven back into the ranks of that organ ization which they are disposed to abandon. The character of their candidate for Auditor General may very readily make a difference of ten thousand votes to the Democratic ...party at the coming State election, and may, 'so far as this great State goes, decide the Presidential contest against us in advance. There must be no blunder committed in this important matter. Delegates must go to Harribburg, for once, prepared to lay aside their personal preferences. No man Bhould be voted for merely because he is a good fel low with a pleasant way of soliciting support. The fact that a man has been laving plans and pulIiDg wires to secure the nomination for Auiitor-General ought to be considered a very strong argument against him. The office is peculiarly one not to be eagerly sought. The salary is not large, and the duties are such as ought to engage a man's whole time and attention. It is emphatically an office which ought to seek the man instead of being sought after. If there be Democrats who imagine that we 6hall carry this State next fall without a severe btruggle, we tell them very plainly that they are much mistaken. The Republicans see and feel that they can not afford to lose Pennsylvania in this the year which immedi ately precedes the Presidential contest. The whole power of tha national administration will be put forth, and money will be supplied in profusion to prevent a Democratic triumph. We do not despair of being able to achieve a glorious victory. We have it in our power to do so. We shall not lose hope or abate our confidence if the convention gives us the right kind of candidates for Auditor and Surveyor-General. Upon its action hang the hopes of the Democratic party in this State, and it may be throughout the country. UNSHELLED CORN. Prom Uu A r. Tribune. Our recommendation a few weeks ago of farm work for women has met, as we ex- E acted, unqualittj approval from the classes est able to judg 0f its practicability; we mean the farmers tliia8eiveB) amj tbo agri cultural press in the Wew, where the manage ment of land by women W no novel experi ment, but an every-day matU, The women in the cities, however, who ptofess to be starving for work, and their seli-kpp0iatft(j spokesmen, find lions innumerable ia the path. We are assailed by countless tAjao. tions, the gist of which appears to bo, tu&t they Lave not the necessary land nor ednon. tion to become truck-raisers, farmers, or floruits. There is nothing for which we have more respect or tenderness than the timidity which assails a delicate woman in her first es6ay to earn her own livelihood; hence we suggested this especial work a pre-eminently fitted to those who, while compelled to labor, preferred to keep about them tuo sheltering privacy of guarded home life. Rut modesty ftnd want of energy ditler in tAo. The objec tions to out-door work have, so far, invari ably come from women most anxious for a career which would ensure them publicity. The raising of potatoes and pot herbs must forever, it appears, remain an inscrutable mystery to young girls who are fully compe tent to decide all problems, from the political economy of the PhonnioiaBS to the Alabama claims. What professions or trades ladies of education are able to comprehend they, of course, are the bent judges; but the amount of intelligence and culture possessed by the ordinary truck raisers for the New York markets does not appear to us unattainable by them. We no not propose that they should take charge this spring of model farms or gigantic nurseries, but that, if thoyhad two or three hundred dollars capital, should buy or rent a few acres and raise vegetables enough at least to keep their families ia food. Any woman with ordinary common sense can plant potatoes as easily as pinks, or rhubarb as roses. The largont fruit-growing establishment west of the Allegheny Mouo tains grew out of half-a-dozen seedling apple trees in a clergyman's back yard. But the difficulty in the wcy of helping women to work now is that they are averse to beginning with seedlings of any-sort. The largeness of their claims blinds them. They are waiting for some great social convulsion which will lift them en masse into positions of place and profit, where they can wcrk effec tively and be liberally paid. They do-not re alize that if the famished sewing-woman had the right f suffrage to-morrow, it would not add a pouad of beef to her larder. Her hus band has had the ballot these hundred years, and he has not yet voted himself a full stomach or a coat to his back. Work with head or hands Bteady, conscientious, hard work is the best cLance open now, as it has always been, for wonten as for men, and there is-no need of crying aloud in the market-places to fiad it. The seedling apple tree is near every man r woman if they have energy and skill to find and dig about it and dung it. Out-doer work v?e urge, with the approachie j. spring, as the mast healthful, accessible, and remunerative. Our advice to every womw obliged to support herself is, first, leave tho large cities. No matter what your emplyment ' be, ynu Trill find less competition in the conn -try or country towns; the rates of living cheaper, human sympathy warmer, and lif itself healthfnller and- higher. If you are a- laboring woman, there are within an hours -I ride of Hew York hundreds of farmers -who are willing to pay good wages ta honest servants, but- yet cannot obtain them. While thi in the case, and' while the land is waiting to be tilleilp we have less sympatiy probably, than is do manded of us for the pauper of toe city. Ser vitnde, we are told, is repugnant to the ind v pendence of most American women. Rut when in the next breath-we are assured that twenty thousend women in New York muot starve, or go into the brothels, we feel that independence is here curried probably to tn extreme. We have listened for years to tbo despairing cry, "Give- us work or we die." We suggest planting potatoes, and are an swered by a thousand feeble protests, "Where, is an acre of ground to plant them in ? andi how Bhould they find the train to take than to it ? and who would tell them how many to put in a hill ? and, after they were growu, how would they discover the price per bushel ?" There is a Western story of a man who was too lazy to work, and whose neighbors, being tired of keeping him, determined to drown him. Meeting the squire, his pity was touched. "Set him down," he said;. "I'll give him a load of corn to keep him olive." The victim raised ma liead rroui tue tler. "Shelled, Squire?" "No." The head drop ped again. "Drive on, boys, then." The story has its own moral. THE REVOLUTIONARY KU-KLUX BILL. From the X. Y. World. Stripped of its husk, the bill which has been agreed on by the Republicans of the House is intended to accomplish these two objects: First, to annul that provision of the Con stitution whioh requires an application of the State authorities before the Iederal Gov ernment can intervene to maintcin order in a. State. Secondly, to give the Federal Government the same jurisdiction over crimes ooinouttea in the States that it po&sossea, and has always exercised, over crimes commifcied in the forts and arsenals of the United States. That this is a true description of the bill no person who reads it can dispute. Nor can anv one be so ignorant of the laws, and c the hintory of the country for the eighty4wo rears since the organization of the Federal Government, as not to perceive that this bill DronoBes an innovation which would, change the character of our institutions. It breaks, down and obliterates the division ami parti, tion of powers whioh the Constitution esta blished, and the legislation of eighty years has recognized, between the General Govern ment and the Governments or tna btates. A proposition so startling and revolutionary would rouse and electrify the country even if it came in the shape of an amendment to the Constitution, because it would be an amend ment that would subvert the fundamental principles on which the Constitution was esta blished. It is infinitely more alarming when proposed as a mere act of Congress. This dangerous bill professes in its title that it is "a bill to enforce the provisions of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitu tion of the United States." But who, until now, ever supposed that the fourteenth amendment had any such dangerous soope ? If it authorizes such legislation as the present bill proposes, it ought to have been ia a form something like this: "Section l. Congress shall have power to extend the jurisdiction over crimes which tha United States po8ness in the military forts to every part or the countrr. "teuton 2. Congress hall have power to autho rize the President to repress domestic violence n the States without an application from the State authorities and In opposition to their wishes. "Sections. Congress mar authoiize the Preal dent. In bis discretion, to pnt the States under mar tial law, suspend the habea Joorpu within their limits, and thereby annul and set aside their State governments." These are the things which the bill now pending in Congress proposes to do; and if they are in pursuance of the fourteenth amendment, that amendment is the most stupendous fraud ever palmed off upon a credulous and unsuspecting people. If such are its objects, why were they not avowed? Why did not the amendment set forth, with honest and intelligible clearness, its real aim and purposes? If its authors really meant to Bet aside and supersede the State govern ments, and ettaWi6h martial law in their i lace, they should not have done it by an underhand subterfuge which nobody under- ood at the time, but by au explicit declara tion of their real object. The fourteenth amenonitiit, as the Republican pirty now in terpret, was like the famous wooaen horse a deceptive stratagem for smuggling into the Constitution the means for effectiug its ovf ltLrow. The language of the ameui'U-nt will beor no sucu construction, and it really L ruiits to Couctess no mora power than it language expresses. And all power not granted is, by the Constitution itself, "re served to the States respectively and to the people." Our political system is a little complex, but in its main outlines it is very intelligible. The fundamental idea of its partition of powers is, that all the external relations of the States are controlled by the General Gov ernment, and their internal affairs belong to the jurimction of their separate govern ments. Their relations with foreign powers and their mutual relations with each other, are regulated exclusively by the central au thority, but the preservation of order and administration of justice within the States belonging exclusively to their several govern ments, without federal intervention except at their request en their own independent judgment of its necessity. This fundamental principle of the American Union has here fore been held and asserted by all our political parties as the sheet anchor of the Constitution, and wwr very well expressed by the National Republican Convention whioh nominated Mr. Lincoln- in I860, in the fol lowing language: "That the maintenance Inviolate of the rights of the Mates, and especially thertght of each state to order and control its own domestic institutions according to Its own Judgment exslu'jlw'Y, Is essen tial to the balance of powers en which' the perfec tion and eBflurance of oar political fabric depend ; and we denounce the lawless- invasion by armed force of the soil of any State or Territory, no matter under what pretext, as the gravMt of crimes.'' We do not make this quotation from the Republican platform for any such idle pur pose as- to exhibit the groea- hypocrisy and glaring inconsistency of that party (which are too manifest for proof), but t show the una nimity and emphasis with whioh all our poli tical parties have heretofore- accepted that fundamental principle of oar- institutions which divides,, by impassable lines, the au thority of the Federal Government from the reserved rishts of the States. From the day the Constitution was framed until now this broad line of demarcation has been regarded as the cLaracteriotio feature cf our double system of goveramesis. 'The following quo tation (selected among hun dreda of a similar tenor) from the- "Federal ist," exhibits the great lineament of the Ct institution as por trayed by its-founders and', authors-while it iwas-pending-befcre the pee pie awaiting their adoption "The powers delegated by the 'proposed Constitution to th, e Federal Govern ment are few and defined. Those whioh re main in the State Governmt mts ore numerous and indefinite. The formei will be exercised mainly on external, object s, as-war, peaoe, negotiati3n, . and foreign commerce; with which last tho power f tare ttion.will, for the most part; . De connected, i ce powers re served to the-several States will extend to all the. objects- whieb,. in the ordinary course of affaire, concern the liv es, liberties, and properties of the people; and the internal order, improvement-, and iprosnority of the State." Mr. Webster,, twenty yea rs bofore he was accused of i Southern leanings, in his pre at speech against nullification in reply to Hayne, gave a similar description of tao-character of our double governments and th- partition of powers between them: "I admit," he said, that it is a government of strictly limited powers- ol' enumerated, specied; particular ized powers; and that whensoever is not granted is withheld.'- Mow-where within the four corners of the Constitution, new amendments and all, is there an "enumerated, speckied. iwrtnular- ized ppwox to suppress domeBtio violence in , a State without a previous avplio&fcism by the State authorities? We can point to the clause which corjfers jurisdiction in th fort: but who can ljt law linger on a "poiAaeti power to enlarge the same jurisdiction, and convert me wnoie country into one vase ion.' incus is. of course no such authority, trod it cansat be usurped by Congress without a total sob version oS the principles on. whiih. the Consti tution is founded. SOME NEGLECIFJ3 .QUESTIONS.,. Prom the.H. Y. Times, In the ordinary coursaof nature, the publio will have had a surfeit qZ Saa DoL-aingobefore i long, and Senators Sumner.- and bctinrz are doing their best to hasten that hapyy, day. Jf course, these benatora would very, soon find another anvil en. which to uhanuner away." at the President if San Domingo, failed tbem; but anything would be welcome for a change. How many, people in tho. country bad the patience te read Mr. bumior a enor mous "oration stxoight through? Lif is too short for such feats. Everything now done by Mr. Sumner is.ou a prodigiotixscula His recent productions at like that f anuwis life of Burleigh, eonoarninf which Lord, Macaulay said: -'Compartd -with the labor of reading through this work, all other Uhox, the labor of thieves os, tne treaa-inuL of children in factories, of negroes in sugaz plantations, is. an agreeaue reereation. Aud aaatn tha critio remarked; "On evasy subject whioh the professor discusses h produces three times as many pages as anathur man, and ona of His pages u as tedious as another r&au g three. If anybody says, that these remarks cannot fairly be applied to Sumner's stylo, let that person read the Senator' great 'enort on ban uomvag without siippm, and then give us ms revised opimoo. We believe that the generality of people are sick and tired of these endless "efforts" on the San Domingo question, and would not be sorry to hear that the island had been swallowed up by an earthquake, so thai it ceased to be an obstruction to all other publio business. President Grant has taken the pains to make himsblf acquainted with the true facts about San Dominco, and he has formed an honest opinion that the aoqui Eition of the island would be a great advan tage to the United States. The opposition which he has encountered in this idea has doubtless strengthened Lu determination to carry it out, for tenacity of purpose has always been one of ueneral Grants best quail. ties, bun, it is not a quality which can invariably be depended on in the field of statesmanship, and since Mr. Sumner and his friends are making all this to-do about Sau DomiDgo and let us never forget that the Bame (senator bumner produced another tre. mendous "effort in favor of purchasing Alafcka, a barren ice-field compared with Sau Domingo since, we say, Sumner aud his friends are representing the President's dssire to buy San Domingo as a crime worthy of impeachment, it would be a good stroke of policy to cut the ground from beneath their feet, and throw over the San Domingo pro ject, at least until the people have had time to make themselves acquainted with all the facts concerning it. Let the cry for annexation come from the people. If Senator Sumner's elaborate argu. ments in favor of purchasing Alaska were worth a straw, tney apply to the acquisition or ban Domingo witb tenfold force. Jiut Air. Sumner ia in opposition. He was in opposi tion to President Lincoln more than once, but "Father Abraham was too bhrewd for him, and never aiiowea nimseii to be caubt at a disadvantage. If Prexident Grant will let the San Domingo affair take its course, after the CoLuiiiiibiaiiets have reported, he will o jus alt the interests of ffre Republic- party, and perhaps break np the curious alliance be tween Senator bum-mrr and dimppointed office-seekers. It is surely time now that we heard! some thing about civil service reform, and abmit a further reduction of taxation; and it is time, also, that our foremost men prepared for that systematio warfare upoa pelitioal corrupt tion, local and national, which is the great necessity of the day. Ia that issue we have a cause which would attract to as onoe more the undivided sympathies of all our old sup porters. We want to see a Government con ducted in all its departments on striotly hottest principles the aim and object of every department and every official being to guard the publio- interests. We want to see men appointed to office not because they possess political influence, but because they are men of proved charaoter and capacity. Tfces aims are quite practi cable, and the Republican party is in a position to accomplish them, if it will only seriously address itself to the- work. We oaght to fight against political jobbery everywhere that, ia' part, is our mission of the future. When shall we have a twenty column speech from Mr. Sumner on that sub ject? Senator Schurz' has, of courts, too many pemosal grievances- to wipe off to pay much attention to the interests of the great body of the people; br.V unless some of' the leading Republicans corse- out aud construct a "programme," the basis of which shall be a crusade against corruption, wherever we find it, in our ranks or out of them, we shall very likely find that we are wantonly throwing away publio confi dence. Compare the qualifications of the Demoorats for such a task with those of Re publicans. The Democrats are everywhere the same they would do with the Federal administration precisely whnt they have done with New York. One of their papers the other day asked us to point out even some negative virtues of Uener&f Urant. Well, that was a modest request, and one easily complied with.. General Graut, we may in form this Tammany questioner, is not an aider and abettor of thieves, as Governor Hoffman was when he signed the Erie bill. He has not brought, or even tried to bring, representative government rato disrepute, as Hoffman has done in this State. What the Tammany crew have done in the city and State,, they will do with the National Government whenever they get a chance. Democrats elsewhere may say that they will have nothing to do with Hoffman. Suppose they find that they cannot help thtrnFelvesr Tammany s money and 1am- mainy's Agents will b" wanted in the next Pre sidential canvr. i Tammany makes it a rule to give nothing for nothing. The Sweenvites, and the riff-raff who work for tbem, the men who have been in jail and the men who ought to be there all are boasting lustily now that Tammany will do what it likes whenever a lemocratio l resident is elected. L6t us make that a far distant day. Co Jiecticut can begin, to pave the way for a Republican triumph.. Ine lammany bribers have been sent into the State to try what corruption can effect. This act alone ought to induce the people of Connecticut to teach the Democrats that what is wanted in these daj s is a higher standard of publio life and politics, not the extension of that system of "Government which we witness here in New York.
