A FLOCK OF BUZZARDS.
From the A. F. Tribune.
Mr. Fanl Fry never formed a resolution
more filled with practical good sense and
knowledge of the world than that by which
be bound bi id self never to do another good
natured action as long as he lived. The bale
ful effects of an act of kindness will follow
a man farther than the curse of injured in
nocence. A person you have once befriended
thinks he has in that way established a claim
like that of the old Roman client upon his
patron, with no resultant obligations, flow
often we saw men in the army who had been
raised by dint of persistent worrying from
private to brigadier turn against the ad
ministration with deep resentment be
cause the double stars were withheld.
Every publio man is surrounded by a
cohort of shameless beggars whose demands
continually increase with their gratification,
whose greed grows by every extorted conces
sion. The most precious hours of publio
men are monopolized and wasted by these
pests, and so exasperating is the infliction
that conscientious members are driven into
such frantio attempts at escape as we saw in
JJr. Trumbull's bill, which proposed to make
it a penal offense for a Congressman to ask
an office for any one. Washington long since
became a place where, as Tennyson said of
the world, "each man walks with his head in
a cloud of poisonous flies."
If these nuisances restricted themselves to
the capital it would be bad enough. Life is
not so long that one would wish to have half
the year turned into purgatory even for two
or three Congresses. Bat still it might be
endured, just as fashionable people, with no
ear, go to the opera, and Colonel Flak, Jr.,
goes to bis prayers not beoause they enjoy
it, but because it is due to Miss McFlimsey's
position and Mr. Fisk's uniform. So a Con
gressman might make np his mind to accept
the office-seekers as a set-off to the glories of
law-making. But these cormorants,
when they dare, follow their
victims over valley and mountain
to the innermost retirement of their homes.
There is no defense against them, except bru
tality, and that is not within the resources of
yomr average politician. If ihe unfortunate
Eatron falls under his annoyances, they watch
im with the eye of a bird of prey. His health
is canvassed with the anxiety of love or hate.
They study his symptoms with the eagerness
of an undertaker, and if bis condition becomes
serious they redouble their importunities.
They would feel themselves bitterly defrauded
if be slipped away to heaven and left them
unprovided for.
With all that we know of the habits of this
species of creature, it did not seem credible
that they should already have been besieging
tne bedside or tne V ice-r resident. Ills frank
and touching letter, published in the Tribune,
left no doubt as to the real cause of his re
cent severe attack. lie was nsed up, utterly
worn out by the obession of this horde of
ravenous cormorants. He was struck down as
a rude but kindly warning of nature that he
could not longer abuse his powers with" im
punity. As soon as be oould travel, he went
borne to seek an opportunity for convalescenoe
in the society of his family. Ihe merest rudi
ments, not of good breeding, but of common
humanity, demanded that his retreat should
be respected. His weakness should haveren
dered him sacred, if bis former kindness had
kindled no spark of gratitude in his torment
ors. But the South Head Ilegistcr is com
pelled to Bay: "Although the fact as to his
illness has been so widely published, it has
not materially diminished the applications
that pour in on nim constantly, as in the
past made personally, too, as well as in
writing applications for offices, dona
tions, for letters of indorsement, recom
mendation or introduction, to attend to De
partment buBiness, to answer inquiries of all
kinds. Persons have come hither from
Chicago and other points during the past
week with such unreasonable solicitations.
What can be done with men so utterly lost
to all sense of decency ? We think Mr. Col
fax owes it to the publio service to furnish to
the respective departments a list of the per
sons who attack him for offices in South
Bend. A man capable of the meanness of
filching from the Vice-President even one
moment of his hours of convalescence, one
particle of his slowly accumulating strength,
to use it for his own selfish purposes, is not a
person to trust in any position of responsi
bility or confidence.
POPULAR MADNESS.
From the N. T. World.
' The theory set forth by M. Fraucisque
Saroey to account for the horrible ecc ceases
which attended the brief deplorable civil war
of the Commune in Paris has been treated
both in England and in this country rather
cavalierly. It seems to be taken for granted
that poor M. Sarcey is merely trying to make
out such a plea for bis countrymen as has
beoome dismally common of late years in the
administration of criminal justice when he
protests that the Parisians were really driven
mad; en masee by the successive shocks
which they had received between June, 1870,
and May, 1871.
But if one will be at the pains of refleoting
a moment on the history of those awful
months M. Sarcey 's explanation of these re
sults will cease, we think, to be considered a
mere refuge of patriotic vanity exasperated
by the contempt with whioh mankind to-day
regards the people whom a year ago it es
teemed "first among its peers." That a whole
community should be affected with mental
disease is no more improbable than that a
whole people should be affected with physi
cal disease. An epidemic of lunacy is ante
cedently as natural a phenomenon of human
sooiety as an epidemic of the plague
or of tne small-pox. History, too.
records as many instances of the one kind as
of the other. The religious manias of the
Middle Ages, which took shape in suoh events
as the terrible Crusade of the Children or the
frenzy of the Flagellants, are familiar in
stances of this kind. The Anabaptists of
Leyden and Munster perpetrated scandals and
atrocities quite as dreadful in their way as
those of the Commune or of the first French
revolution, and no sensible person has ever
doubted thai they were driven on into these
extravagances under the goad of a genuine
epidemic madness.
No race or tribe of men can claim to have
been exempt from this scourge. It is very
well to meer at the French people or at the
Parisians as liable above till wnu to such at
tacks of contagious fury as on M. Saroey'a
theory must be camea 10 me account r
dementia. But they were not Frenchmen
they were Germans, who bardU thirty yours
ago suddenly poured out of their hoiuei ty
the myriad and thronged tu the ancient city
of Treves, unacr a imna, pervuaiug luipuiaa
of feverish Ruperstition, to worship what was
called the "Holy Coat." And nothing in the
recent catastrophes at Paris more clearly bears
the marks of an ungovernable mental and
moral epidemio than did the mutual rage of the
combatants in the long religions wars of
the Reformation. Germans and Flemings,
Spaniards and Walloons, Bohemians and
Frenchmen, alike in those times proved
themselves capable of easts of barbarous
rage only comparable to the muck-running of
the Malays, or to tnose ancient ins 01 iser-
eerk madness in which the Scandinavians
recognized a power above man, and by man
as irresistible as the tornado is irresistible by
the trees of the forest. If we come nearer
our own days we find the Paritans of New
England in their persecution of witchcraft
possessed with a contagious madness whioh
led to results as cruel and
as bloodthirsty, all things considered,
as the worst deeds of the Commune. The
murder of Arohbishop Darboy and his
innocent companions, horrible and detestable
as it was, was not more horrible and detest
able than the mnrder of Giles Corey. And if
any Englishman imagines bis own country
men to be incapable of abandoning them-
pelvf s under certain provocations to excesses
as awful as those of the Uommune, he will do
well to open Charles Dickens novel of "Bar-
naby Rudgo, and to peruse thorain the
author's story of that ferocious outbreak
against the Catholics which under the lead of
crazy Lord George Gordon threatened Lon-
don with destruction and the empire with
anarchy for several days, no longer ago than
in tne year lid.
Uranted tne existence oi sucu a minor as
epidemic madness, is it easy to conceive of
circumstances more likely to generate it than
those through which Paris has passed during
the last twelve montns t
Here was a city which had grown up daring
twenty years of peace and prosperity to con.
sider itself and to be considered by others
the capital of civilization. That it was the
most beautiful city the world had ever seen
was conceded on all bands. The pride of its
inhabitants bad been raised to the highest
pitch by the admiration and homage of the
whole of Christendom. They believed them
selves, and they had much excuse for believ
ing themselves, the flower of a nation re
garded as the first military power of the
world. One after another the sovereigns
of Europe had visited them. The Sul
tan himself had emerged from the awful
mystery of the Ottoman power to pay his
tribute in person to the prestige of the
glory of France and of Paris. In a day, al
most in an hour, all this fabric of splendor
and of reputation was blown to atoms by the
artillery of Germany. The siego of Paris by
the Prussians may well have affected the
people of Paris like some monstrous
dream or nightmare. Bat while the
poesibility of such a reverse acted
upon their minds like a possession, the
actual material sufferings inflicted by it ag
gravated the disorder. Men were suddenly
and violently thrown out of their ordinary
nabits and relations in ate, out of their cus
tomary prooesses of thought, out of their
daily diet even and walk and conversation.
It is not easy for ns to estimate the demoraliz
ing effects upon a great metropolitan popula
tion of a Budden isolation from all its habi
tual communication with the outer world.
The siege of Paris, as it were, threw two mil
lions of people suddenly and violently baok
out of modern life into the middle aces.
Perhaps New York or London might bear
such a shock as this better than Paris did.
Bnt we should be loth to see either city sub'
jected to the experiment.
After the siege bad ended in a peace utterly
crushing and humiliating to all that Paris
felt and believed of herself, and of France,
there came upon the unhappy city a series
of governmental shocks and jars, mainly re-
suiting from the incredible weakness and
unworthiness of the official authorities of the
nation. These ended finally, as we know, in
the incoherent and immature enterprise of a
most startling social and political experiment;
and this again, after a fresh siege entailing
new disasters, public and private, ended in
the horrors of an armed capture of the
capital.
That the culmination of all these trials
should for a time have unhinged the judg
ment, the moral sense, the courage, and the
character of the community is surely neither
surprising in itself, nor need it hastily com
pel the conclusion that nothing is to be
hoped hereafter, in calmer circumstances and
under more propitious Influences, of the com
munity so smitten and shaken asunder.
WANTED A DEMOCRATIC GRIEVANCE.
From the N. Y. Times.
It is exceedingly touching to observe the
persistent fondness with which the Democra
tic journals cling to the iiu-klux bill as a
basis for attack upon the present administra
tion. They bad pretty well exhausted the
common missiles of falsehood, and the poly.
syllabio shafts of the World were, if possible,
blunter than usual. The Government had
obstinately reduced the taxes without ham
pering the revenue; the Alabama claims had
got themselves in so fair a way for settlement
that neither the policy of the President nor
that of Mr. Sumner was capable of charging
an ordinary political squib. And as for the
late amendments, they were fixed in the
fundamental law, and not a corporal's guard
of Republican voters could be induced to
vote the Democratic ticket on the
ground that they ought not to be there. At
this juncture the late Mr.Vallandigham made
the bright suggestion that It would be well
to let all the old topics alone, "accept the
situation" as completely as the nature of the
average Demoorat wo Jd admit, and open
fire on the Ku-klux bill. The 'conservative
press of New York it likes to be called
"conservative for two reasons, nrst, because
the name is not in nearly so bad odor as
"Dtmocratio," and, second, because at heart
it is not Democratic at all, the conservative
press bailed the suggestion as promising great
relief.
The bill was a new bill. The people un
derstood its object well enough, but not the
details of its provisions. It certainly placed
a good deal of power in the hands of Gene
ral Grant. And it would be much easier
to make the public believe that it was
everything wicked and dangerous than it
would be to repeat the old arguments long
since exploded, the old charges long sinoe
become disgusting. So the "conservative"
pret-s thought, and so it commenced to act.
By liberal use of perversion and murepre-
mentation, it endeavored to show that the
Ku-klux bill was a species of coup d'etat, which
was preliminary to the appearance of General
Grant as "The man on horsebaok with a
naked sword," who was about to suspend the
writ of habeas corpus, break up the courts,
buuiujon all inoffensive Democrats before
druui.bead courts-martial, and by violence
end bloodshed pave the way to an imperial
tbroi.e, from which be would issue ediots to
an obedient Senate, dissolve the House of
Rfpient-ntatives, and govern the country by
li.tiiDs of uatraps, principally nelected from
feuth of Lin luale lektUons as ha did nut
marry to foreign princesses. By vigorous
Jabbing, the 11 orUl worked itself into a very
fair imitation of indignation over the ter
rible picture, and the "bncolio" press, as the
Wot Id politely dubs Its country oontempora-
riep, followed suit as well as they could.
I hey were an doomed, however, to en-
connter one very unexpected obstacle. The
Ku-klux, without whom the bill must lose
all its terrors, immediately on the proclama
tion by the President of his intention to
enforce it to the letter, began to skulk into
their biding plaoep. With an obtU9mess
of political insight that cannot be too se
verely condemned, they refused to surrender
their blood as the seed of the Detnooratio
church. However effective the application
of the law to their cases might be, in firing
the Northern and Southern breast against
the authors of the law, it would leave them
where they could derive bat cold
comfort from the triumph of the Democracy
or any other earthly advantage, and they
basely and ingloriously declined, however
much their party might gain by it, to be
come corpses. This, naturally, is discourag
ing to the political hacks who were laboring
to make political capital out of the oppressive
operation of the Jaw. If no chance is to be
given to suspend the writ of habeas corpus,
if the innocent murderers and ruffians at
whose personal rights under the Constitu
tion the law was aimed, persistently
kept out of its range, why it will be very
hard work to keep up a very animated fire at
the mere abstract letter of the law. The
American people are a very busy set, and
tbey have a great deal too much to do to
waste time in arguing over an enact
ment which bids lair to be a dual letter
through its very effectiveness, to restrain
the liberties of no one, because all keep out
of its way, and to lead to no abuse of power,
because there arises no ocsasion to exorcise
power under it.
We cannot undertake to help our uemo-
cratio contemporaries in this quandary. It
fill comes of being on the wrong side. They
have lately seemed to have a realizing sonse
of this fact, and their last step was in the
direction of a complete change. Perhaps
they make take it into their heads to come all
the way over. It is probably the only means
to relieve themselves of their present embar
rassment. As for the change it would require
in their attitude towards men and measures,
that it is not worth a second thought, in the
case of the World, at least, which eighteen
months since denounced Mr. Tweed as a thief
and a swindler, and now bedaubs with adula
tion everything about him, down to the very
diamonds on his daughter s wedding shoes.
