WASttiKOTON, D. C., BepU 8, 1873.
Ip a recent speech at Athens, Ohio,
Senator Morton referred to the statement
so frquently made by Democratic writers
and speakers, and so antversally incor
porated into the Democratic platforms,
that the present is one of the most' cor-'-
nipt periods this country has ever wit"
neased, and says of this opinion: “So
far from the public morals having been
debauched and deteriorated duringt&p
twelve years bl Republican vale, notwith
standing the war with all its consequences
and demoralization, they have greatly
improved. It is not that Congress is
more corrupt than formerly, for in my
opinion it is less so ; but it is that public
opinion demands a higher standard of
rectitude on the part of its public men
that we ever before exacted.”
The Senator is, at least, partly right.
It is not fair that we should suppose the
present day to be more corrupt than any
past periods simply because we hear com
plaint. Applying the same test we would
come to the conclusion that each drought,
or each stbrm, was more severe than any
that preceded it. The farmer will tell
us that be never before saw such weather;
the little boy will tell us that be never
had so sore a finger; our grandmothers
will tell us that the children are worse to
day thau they were in her young days,
and tne scoffer will tell us that the preach
ers are more dissipated and debauched
than they ever were before. But if we lake
the trouble to examine the past we will
find at each period the same complaint
general: that the world is worse than
formerly. But if we sum up all past ex
perience and compare the present witb
any past period we always find ourselves
as well off as those who went before us.
The farmer broods over one day of un
favorable weather and forgets the six
days of sunshine ; the little boy will cry
and complain of one sore too and never
mention the nine sound ones; grand
mother frets about one wicked boy and
never thinks of the several good ones;
the papers give thrilling accounts filling
colamns of the history of one murder and
□ever think of the millions who have not
murdered anybody and who have not
been murdered, and we bear all about the
minister who has stepped from the path
of rectitude and never once think of the
thousands of upright men who are clear
above even the suspicion of crime.
So it is with public affairs. There are
thirty-seven thousand postmasters ig the
United Slates. Let three of these become
defaulters to the government and we bear
a general out cry about the dishonesty of
public officers. We see the three, but are
totally oblivious to the existence of the
thirty-seven thousand. This is evidence of
the fact that dishonest officials are the
exception and not the rule. We are ac
customed to dwell upon more exceptions
than upon rules.
Let us not, however, deprecate these
facts. Let us rather be gla£ that public
opinion does demand a higher standard
of rectitude on the part of its public men.
It is greatly to the credit of the Repobli-
U U (I KA
C*n ||l|rt7 that this spirit has grown up
a period when Ii had control of the
afidfSof the government. It will be well
if thtt-watcfafol spirit continues until cor
ruptfonis entirely banished from public

these latter day* ? Is “Free-trade and
Sailors’ Rights” to bfc one of the battle
cries? Is “squatter sovereignty” one of
the land-marks? Is hatred to the negro
one of the ‘‘long-established principles ?”
Deed the Democracy propose to adhere to
their old pro-slavery doctrines ? That is
perhaps' about as “long-established” as
any principle ever taught by Or
do go so far back? Would they
stop their opposition Vo the doctrine
of “coercion ?’* Or would they come
down so late as to enumerate their oppo
sition to the recent amendments to the
Constitution as long established princi
ples?
It would be really entertaining to have
some of their wisest men enlighten the
public on these questions. When
are asked to support- contain principles
they have a right to have these principles
defined. The general phrase “long-es
tablished” is hardly satisfactory, for there
are several difficulties remaining. First,
it is difficult to find a distintively Demo
cratic principle that can be said to have
been established at all. Last year all the
old Democratic broken, and
that without any seeming remorse. Sec
ond, without dwelling on the first difficul
ty, the voter is puzzled to know which of
the many Democratic principles to ac
cept. He cannot adopt them all, for they
will not "jibe together.”
The Democratic party is in terrible
straits for principles. It is afraid of any
thing new, and it dares not rely upon any
thing old. Last year it appeared in a
garb stolen from the Republicans, but
that did not win. The only tiling that
now remains for it to do is to get an en
tirely new suit of clothes, to adopt new
principles, to raise new issues: It cannot
succeed without making an issue with
the party in power. It cannot succeed on
old issues. It cannot succeed at all.
Circular for Information No. 3, for 1873
has just been issued by the National Bu
reau of Education. It coplains an “ac
count of college commencement for the
summer of 1873 in the States of Maine,
Neto Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Rhode Isiann, Connecticut,. New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania.” It will
soon be followed by No. 4 containing an
account of the same in the remaining
States.
In fifty-four institutions the total num
ber of degrees conferred was 2,515, of
which 2,333 were in course and 182 hono

ferred was Bachelor of Arts; number
1,116. 470 persons received the degree of

A good deal of cariosity is. being mani
fested to discover the reasons of the Japan
ese government for recalling the six hun
dred students now in this country and in
Europe. It is said that upon investigation
it was found they were not making satis*/
factory progress. This is probably true.
The Japanese are aw well acquainted with
philosophy and science as we, and doubt
less even better. It will not be a matter
of surprise if we next hear that the Amer
ican adventures in Japan who have im
posed themselves upon the government
and are now drawing snug salaries
of twenty or twenty-five thousand a year
have been dismissed and sent home in
disgrace. The Japanese were very un
fortunate in selecting men,_from this

The fight that has been going on for
some days between the balls and the bears
of Wall-Street terminated on Saturday in
the apparently thorough defeat of the
bolls. It has been reported and it is cur
rently believed that certain of the national
banks lent their assistance to the bull move
ment, and tfcr mgh their aid there was at
one time a strong probability of success.
These national banks are to some extent
subject to the control of the Treasury, and
it is understood at the Currency Bureau
that an effort will he made to discover the
part taken by the suspected banks. It is
.doubtful whether the law as it now stands
Wiil punish them for the indirect aid they
gave the gamblers, but an investigation,
may have the effect of bringing the mat
ter before Congress when additional safe
guards may beprovided against the mach-
InaUonsoftbese swindlers.
The latest news from Massachusetts is
that Washboine has steadily gained on
Batter and tbat be is now ahead. Al

terms that the administration did not in
tend to meddle at ail, that it bad nothing
to do witb the making or unmaking of

it is now the desire of the administration
that both Washburne and Butler should
withdraw, and that a new man be put for

Correspondence of the Radical
Philadelphia, Sept., 1,1873
Two months absence from home have
cot me ofl from The Radical, and very
glad I was to come across its welcome
columns once more upon my return yes
terday. I have been along up the sea
shore and mountains, and feel greatly like
ventilating my impressions regarding the
fun aod frivolity there encountered, for
verily human nature shows at its worst
where amusement only is the object of
life. It is greatly to be regretted that
progressive civilization defeats i; self and
its own objects at our popular-summer re
sorts and that fashion makes such inroads
upon our pockets that two months so
journ at one of our principal summer re
sorts costs as much as the whole of the
rest of the year. This is to be regreted on
account of children who require a length
ened absence from large cities! during the
heated term. The old fashioned farm
bouse has died out; the great railroad fa
cilities of modern times rendering it
easier to send produce to market than to
import borders to eat it at of
production. The consequence is that tile
term farm house in this part of the world
has become synonimous with slow-starva
tion, and they are no longer sought after.
All this results : in the short excursion
system being most popular. Neverthe
less, Philadelphians flock in thousands to
Atlantic City and Cape Slay, this latter
being the favorite resort. Since th&open
ing of the West Jersey Railroad they
have adopted the most liberal policy in
regard to Cape Island, the drives and
rides are of the finest description. The
cottages numerous and the hotels with
the Stockton House at the head of the
list of the very best description. Over
and above all this is the bathing, univer
sally acknowledged to be the best in the
world, but perhaps a short description of
this famous and most extensively patron
ized of all American resorts may not be
unacceptable. The Island is formed by
Delaware Bay on ohe sids. Cold Spring
Inlet on the other and the Atlantic Ocean
in front. Along the shores of the Bay runs
Diamond Beach, where crystal pebbles
are found called "Cape May Doimonds.”
Jewelers will tell yon they have nolnlria
sic value, but the native assert that these
same Jewelers buy them up In quantities
and after polishing sell them for the gen
uine article.: ■ At the month of the Bay is
Cape May Light Honse, one of the finest
structures of the kind in the world. At
Lewes, difeclly opposite Is Kenlopen
Light House, built urhen this country be
longed to Great Briiian. It is remarkable
for being the oldest Light House on this
continent, the laziest keeper
in creation. Cold Spring Inlet empties
into thesonnds which stretch from Cape.
Hay to Atlantic City, and the Island us
washed by the head Atlantic. There is
no sight on earth equal to that of the .
Ocean from Poverty beach to the Light\
House, the blue waves come rolling ht'
with softest murmuring, tipped with little
white caps dancing like feathery foam in
the sunlight. Sand snipes looking like
neat little qnakereses paddle on the beach,
while white' winged sea gulls, fit* emblems
of the fair daughters offashion float and
eddy over head. Away over the water,
the ships are sailing, whUe on the strand
the children play. Happy little children
with their spades and buckets building
up monuments which the next .wave
washes away. One of the peculiarities
of Cape May bathing is that t here one
may venture a great distance from shore
without getting beyond their depth, and
you can go through all the pleasures of
being drowned by being knocked down
by a wave and swallowing unlimited
of water without running the
slightest risk ot loosing your life. Some
people do get drowned there sometimes/
but it is always the good swimmers who
venture out two far and are washed out
by the undertow. As a rule the living is
good at moat all the establishments on
Ile Island! The country is an agricultural
one, fruits, vegetables, fish and oysters
cheapo Daring the season bands of music
give three ORup air concerts at the three
principal hotels daily. JSvery otber night
all the bouses give full dress and
dramatic, operatic nndteligious observan
ces. Apropos of religion all the denomi
nations secure the very best oratorical and
musical talents for their churches daring
the season, lor which there is a two fold
reason v The first of which is that first
\ >
class talent has rather an afinity for sea
airs and sea-bathing, and secondly be
cause they get a much better chance at
the sinners en m iss in such a locality tbaa
elsewhere.

However, enough of Cape May. I be
gan this letter intending to tell you some
thing of the ladies’ wardrobe, but must of
course content myself with mentioning
but one item of extravagance. The favor
ite styles of hosiery are of pure silk in
various attractive colors, the most popu
lar hoes being the various shades of scar
let, though the sky-blue varieties sire
also very much in demand. They usually
retail at about twelve dollars a pair and
are sufficiently handsome to answer the
exacting tastes of the most capricious
belle. Eizzil.
—The Springfield Republican has now
returns from 742 delegates, nearly three
fourths of the whole number to the Wor
cester Convention, divided as follows:
Washburn, 394; Butler, 319; doubtful
and contested, 29. There are 339 dele
gates yet to be elected, of whom 45 come
from four western counties, 54 from Wor
cester county, and 258 from the eastern
part of the State, 62 each from Essex and
Middlesex counties, the former of which
is one of Butler’s strougbolds. Of 101
delegates to come from the western part
of the State the Republican estimates that
Washburn will have nearly three-foul tbs,
and of the remaining 258 about 125. As
Washburn has now a clear majority of
46,' vgiying Butler every doubtful vote,
the Republican considers bim sure of 100
majority in the Convention, but it is quite
likely to be 150, and may rise to 200.
The Journal's returns for delegates to
the Convention so far as heard from at a
late hour to-night stand 418 for Wash
burn, 315 for Butler and 39 doubtful.
There are 333 more delegates to be elect
ed.
—The Boston Globe says; Whatever
may be the result of the contest now go
ing on in the dominant party, there is
no ground for the hope that any Demo
cratic candidate could slip into office. If
there is ever a contest at the polls be
tween two Republican candidates, the
Democratic voters will scatter like sheep
from their own little fol 1, and enlist on
the one side or the other of the new is
sues that come up for decision.
