Aa fast as one defaulting Federal offi cial is discovered and indicted another turns up. It was only last week thai Pension Agent Forbes, of Philadel phia. was turned out ofaffice as a ds faulter, and now Major A. It. Calhoun, the other pension agent of that city, was dismissed on the same charge. To chronicle all the defaulting radi cal office holders, it would require a column per week. The Stealings iu New York were large, aud a great noise made over them, to which we make no objection, but the stealings by appointees under Grants adminis tration sets every thing in the shade, and could tlieso federal office holders bo made to disgorge the sums stolen by them under radical rule, it would pay oft* one half of our national debt. It is must be encouraging to the honest portion of the masses, to see with what energy and effort the press has been waging its war upon default ing officials, and the good that has re sulted thereupon already. The RE PORTER. is one of the pioneers in this movement. The leading journals of the country have enlisted in this fight; the Agt says: The New York Times is compliment ed, and justly, on the vigor with which it made its assault* ou the Tarn man v "Ring," though, at an earlier period, it crippled Mayor Hall in his ieffort to control the Board of Supervisors. Without any drawback, the New York World "is entitled to great honor ;>>r itsmanlv independence m denounc ing the Tammany frauds and the per petrators of them". It is an encourage ment to bold and independent journal ism to note how effective it is for the protection of the community. The best barrier against fraud and injust ice is a free press that cannot be bul lied or corrupted. When that barrier : lis, rogues and tyrants will have it all their own wav. At the recent muuiclpal election in Philadelphia the Radical candidate for the Mayoralty was a person of -uoh peculiar antecedents that even the Union League Club of that city i uckballed him when proposed for ui nibership with enthusiastic unan i ntr. His character was thoroughly w. II known to the community, and yet h was elected by a majority of some i,i ia thousand votes. The Radical p. now that the election is over, n aits the truth of charges against hi u which it formerly denied. The i ; that the people of Philadelphia .1-iiberately chose this man for their thief magistrate is another proof of !• lack of earnest opposition to cor ruption on the part of the virtuous radi cl§. This blackballed radical Mayor, is Mr. Stokely, and if he is unfit to be a it über of "the Union League, as this blackballing shows, what excuse do U: *e same radicals make for electing him to the highest office in the city. Uue ofthe repulsive features of Pres ident Grants more recent career is his pecuniary meanness. He not only takes presents and increases bis large fortune in that manner, but be is very mean. Here, for instance, is his son, wh i has just been educated at West l'uiutat the public cost,and who holds a c .mruission as an officer of the army. First the young man had a leave of abscence to go into the service of a railroad company, drawing his pay as an officer and his salary as an engineer at the same time. Now he is going to Europe: but his father does Jnot pay the bills, as other men do when their sons travel abroad. The travelling expenses of this young man are to be pai 1 by the people of the United States. He is ordered for sham duty in Europe, and this suffices to secure full pay for him, just as though he was really in service here at home. This is not only an offensive proceed ing because it is bestowing a special favor upon the President and bis son at the expense ofthe people, but it is also exceedingly mean. In fact, it amounts to obtaining money under lit se pretences, and to taking what be longs to other people. Washington, Nov. 22.—Southern Hi lical Senators now in Washing ton b; ..t of the continuance of the martial law programme of the administration far beyond the limits of the nine coun ties in"South Carolina. Oue of these officials who has consulted with the Prcsiedtit declares that the Ku-Klux law wi;l be enforced and the writ of habeas corpus suspended in every por tion of the South where the evidence of the Ku-Klux Committee alleges that outrages have been committed. The wholesale arrests in South Carolina but precede those that will shortly be inaugurated in Norhteru Alabama, and °Georgia, and Mississippi, and probably Texas. The Prseident is urged daily to take these violent steps by the advice ofSouhtern Republicans, who also threaten him that the ground is slipping rapidly under their feet in the face of an impending Presidential campaign. Ex-Attorncy-General Btanbery and cx-Senator Reverdy Johnson will defend the South Carolina prisoners charged with belonging to the Ku- Klux Ivlan. Senator Seburz savs that he is de terminedly opposed to Grant's re elec tion, and hopes the Democrats will nominate a conservative man for whom Republicans can vote without stultifying themselves. The Result In New York. We notice that a great many of our Radical exchange* arc crowing over the result of the New York electiou and claiming it as a Radical victory. Upon this subject the Evening Poet, which is very competent Republican authority, says a large number of journals in New York aa well a* else where, "are doing all they can to de stroy the moral effect of the electiou on Tuesday by claiming the result as a Republican victory. Many men a* sutue that all is fair in oolitic*; but too much i* at stake in this instance to permit such a claim to juts* out rebuke. If the victory of lues day ware acknowledged as a partisan success its whole moral value would be lost." The Post declares that there was not a single isue upon which the national parties are divided that had any connection whatever with the can vass in New York. Reasoning from this, it claims that the victory for tho Republican tickets belongs wholly to the Reform cause, aud it is no more a decision in lavor of renominating ( rant, or a redemp tion of New York by the Republicans, as it is already represented through out the country, than it is an approval of Andrew Johnson or a revival ot the Whigs. National politics arc left to the nation ; New York simply shows to the world that she will not be governed by thieves —that hence forth personal honesty is an essential qualification there for a public trust. Had the Reform IVmocrats of New York chosen to imitate tbeexample of their Radical adversaries, and buried their opposition to the dishonesty ot Tammany, and coalesed with that cor rupt combination, the Radical ticket would have beeu largely defeated. But despising thievery as much m those who profess Democracy as those who oppose it, they chose rather to risk defeat than co'unteuance and abet fraud and corruption. This is the simple story of the New \ ork election, and vindicates every claim to honesty set up by the Democratic organixatioti. The New York Tribuue of the lUli says that "iu New York party organ irations coalesced, and the grand Re form victry was the joint triumph of honest democrats and honest republi cans against the thieves." In another article it sap: "It is a great and in spiring triumph ; but it is a triumph of People rather than Party. We have uo desire to olairu for any politi cal organization iu this city the truits of a victory which has beeu the result of the uprising of u great people." Mr. Greeley's candor will hardly be relished by the minions of Grant, who loudly boast of the result iu New York as an administration victory. Passivism and Partyisw. We did not anticipate, leas than a mouth ago, we suggested the passive policy for the consideration of the de mocracy, that it would receive the swift ami supreme vindication that it is already meeting with. us not be misunderstood: we are not in haste to claim for it approval of ail members of the party to which it was submit ted ; we merely wish to note the inter esting fact that it meets with the dis approval of all members of the party to which it is sot submitted. If it has not received the uuanimous approba tion of democrats, it has, at least re ceived the unanimous and unqualified condemnation of radicals, (some dem ocrats are not quite convinced that it would be a wise policy. A few demo crats are afraid that it break up their party ; all radicals are sure it would break up theirs, and for that reason— the affectionate fellows—are opposed to it. It is still a subject of earnest consultation and discussion among democrats, and it is not to be wondered at that many members of that party should require mere than a single month's time to make up their minds on a proposition that is without ana-, tional precedent, and that really in volves a revolution in our system of party management. But the adrainis- j tration partisans are not so sluggish in their ratiocination; they sa* clear; through the proposition, and detected the logical ending of it, from the mo-j ment it was first broached. It is en veloped in no mists of doubt to them ; it preseuts no by-ways whose eudiug they cannot see ; it involves no possibilities which they cannot estimate. Thev know precisely what it means, and al though the matter is none of their bus iness, they have that degree of fond de votion to democratic interests and principles, that they cannot bear to see the democracy rush headlong to de struction, without raising their warn ing voices, with one accord, against the step. This unusual solicitude of the admin istration partisans for the welfare of the democracy is a phenomenon which de serves to be noted in weighing the mer its and demirits of passivism. Our an tagonists sometimes see the effect of our movements better than we see them ourselves, because they know their weak points better thau we can kuow them ; and when the administration partisans come forward without invi tation to take part in democratic con sultations, and to furnish unsolicited arguments against passivism, their sin gular conduct suggests that there may be a good deal more in the policy than we ourselves had at first detected. When au army makes a movement which its antagonist does not want it to make, it may safely conclude that it is doing exactly right. The passive policy has met with a more favorable reception from the thiuking men and the masses of the party to whom it is presented than we expected; the weight of democratic opinion is largely in its favor; and when to this is added the fact that the organs of that party, which passivism proposes to defeat, are earnestly, and without exception, op posed to it, it would seem that the pro priety of the policy is demonstrated beyond dispute. It is the moral power of passivism that spreads this dismav through the administration ranks. The President's adherents and organs offer us nothing but an ever-recurring party struggle ever the questions which they profess to have settled forever, but which they themselves unsettle and revive at ev ery new canvass. The President has eveu reduced partyism to the contract ed limits of personalism, by outlawing many leading representatives of repub lican* sentiment, and ostracising large portions of the republican organiz-a tion, for the simple offense of dissent ing from his policy or being opposed to his person ; and yet, even while those republicans are imperiously ex cluded from his favor, and denied the poor comfort of party rights, they are coolly told that their party duties re main, and that the supremest of those duties is to. vote for tfie re-election of the President to a second term. On the other hand, passivism proposes a puce to partyism, while the people i unite to rescue the republic from the malign personal authority that can dictate the decision of the Supreme Court, dispose the chairman of senate committees, control conventions by bribery and infantry, commit acts of war against a feeble friendly power, interfere in state elections, lay the whole districts under martial law, without rebuke, and extort a rcmniiiu at ion from a servile party. A crisis in which tho rights of slates, the liberty of citixens, aud the original structure of the republic arc eiidaugered by these extraordinary and unrebukod execu tive measure*, is one in which the peo pie may well forget party ties and ob ligations, und make a patriotic effort to avert the peril which such meas ures, if presided in, must lead 10. Ad ministration orgun* tell us derisively that passivism wilt destroy (he democ racy. because a party that waives its right to fight, forfeits its right to live. But let them not deceive themselves. If the democracy can forfeit itself for a time, and adjourn ils parlv claims oil the altentiou of the jieople, till after the electiou ot 1-872; it' democrat*, while adhering to their conviction*, can, for one campaign, release them selves from party ties, aud struggle for the safety of their country's inslilu lions, the spectacle would evoke a tnor al force which the party in power, (hough armed with all the |>eeial eii actmcut that could be devised, would tie impotent to withstand.- St. Forii* Republican. The Signal Office and the Great Storm. Washington, November 16.—Tta? signal service yesterday displayed, be fore tho storm, cautionary signals at eigbtiVu of the twenty signal stations aloug the line of all the lakes, the whole Atlantic coast, from Florida to Maine, aud on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Tho reports received at the office of the chief signal officer show that al every port the warning signal was given from five to fifteen houis in advance of a storm of unusual extcut aud severity. At New York the wiuJ reached a velocity of sixty miles per hour. There could be uo better test of the discipline ot the signal service than this storm, reaching, us it did, all the coasts of tho United States except the Pacific. The American ( alumUie* and the Pope- Rotue, Oct. 20, 1871. The Pope to-day held a reception at the Vatican, at .which a score or more of Euglish, Americans aud Ital ians were present. These visitors were eacorted.to the usual waiting room, a rather dreary yet stately appartment, marked with the papal aruis, adorned with frescoes, and with a throne atone end. The ladies dressed in black veils, and the gentlemen arrayed in ordina. ry evening costume, but all with out gloves, were ranged ou seats along the wall, and during the hour of wait ing could beguile the lime by specula ting upou the identity of the various cardinals, priests and other ecclesiasti cal officials, who, from time to time, flitted by on their way to private audi ences with the Pope. The coming of the Pontiff was an nounced by the appearance at the door of the two Swiss Guards in the Papal uniform of red and yellow, but otherwise there was no pomp of pre paratiou. Following a half dozen of military men and a dozen or so of ec clesiastical officials came Pius IX., dressed in a long white gown bound around the waist by a silken sash trimmed with gold. Ou his head he wore a white skull-cap. He was in troduced to his visitor* by an official, and spoke a few words to each. To thegroup of Americans the Pope showed especial attention. Placing his hand on the head of the little girl who was one of the party, he express ed his pleasure at seeing strangers from such a distance. "There have been many American* here this sea son already," said he, in excellent French. "Your country is now ex periencing great suffering through vast conflagrations. 1 don't refer merely to the destruction of Chicago, but to the great fire beyoud it. This is all very sad ; but remember we are all in tbe hands of God." Pius IX. is a very handsome old man, with a manner at once shrewd and bland. He appears to be in ex cellent health for a person of his ad vanced years, and though be had a shuffling gait, inseparable perhaps from his rather inconvenient costume, there was nothing in his actions to de note physical weakness or anything approaching decrepitude. A many stories have been lately circulated about the feeble state of his health, it is as well to remark here that he seems to be and most probably is a vigorous old gentleman, likely to see a still greater length of days than he has al readj enjoyed. His allusions to the recent disasters in the United States, (then fresh news in Rome), show that he is kept well informed on current topics. During the recent terrible fires in western Michigan, there were three brothers, owners of valuable mills and buildings, which they and their neigh bors (some of whom were Christian men) were defending from the fires until all were exhausted and in de spair. One of the owners, a frank, rough, wicked man of huge frame and generous impulses, said many hard words about God's permitting the de struction of so much property for no good to any one, etc., etc. Finally, he gave up, and said to his neighbors, "Go home, go home, nothing more can be done for us, Got! can do as he pleases." Just then a few drops of rain fell; looking up, they saw the cloud, and all redoubled their efforts. A slight rain fell, the fire was check ek, and the mills saved. The rough man dropped upon his knees, great tears rolled 'down his face, his hands clasped, head bowed, and he agonized to express his thanks. Suddenly he sprang to his feet, vigorously swing ing his hat, a nd with the most intense '•arnestness shouted "Hurrah for God ! HURRAH FOR GOD! 1" A Singular Indian Tradition. Among the Seminole Indiana there is a singular tradition regarding the white man's origiu and superiority. They say that when the Great Spirit made the earth he alao made three men. All of the men had fair com- Elexiona; and that after making them e led them to the margin of a small lake, and bade them leap in and wash. One obeyed, and came out purer and fairer than before; the second hesita ted a moment, during which the water, ugitated by the first, had become mud dled, and when he bathed he came out copper-colored; the third did uot /cap till the water had become black with mud and he came out black with its own color. The great spirit laid be fore thein three packages, and out of pity for his misfortune in cojor gave the black man the first choice. He took hold of each package, and hav ing felt the weight, chose the heaviest, The copper-colored man chose the next heaviest, leaving the while man the lightest. When the packages were op ened, the first was found to contain spades, hoes, and implements of labor; tiic second enwrappad hunting, fishing, and warlike apparatuses; the third gave tho while man pens, ink, and paper, the engines of the mind —the means of mutual mental improve ment, the social link of humanity, the foundation of the white man's superi ority.

Alpine Adventure*—An .Weii>ion and its Results Two gentlemen from Hale aud three from Glarus recently made an excur sion into the valley of Lindet, for the purpose of ascending the Todi, Fix Kua liu (.11,886 feet ), oue of the most con spicuous of the mountains in Kasteru Switzerland. On the 23th just , at 3 o'clock in the roorniug, the party LA the tirunborn Hut, built by the Swiss Alpine t'!ub, where they had passed the night, the Ftrhn blowing very violently, and reached the Glacier of Biffierteu after a very fatiguing walk of three hours, the Fiehn making the snow to soft that their feet sank deep iuto it at each step. On reach ing a very deen aud wide crevasse, which stopped their Aarther progress, two of; the |>arty went some way along it to see if it grew narrower, but their weight caused a large mass of snow ou which they were'standing to give way, and tbey were both pitched headlong into the opening. Their companions, who were sufficiently ucar to see the accident were stupified with horror, and were some time before they became sufficiently collected to form any plan t'nrjdelivering their unfortunate friends, if they were still alive, of which they entertained slight hope*, owing to the depth to which they had fallen, On cautiously drawing near the edge of the precipice, however, aud shouting down, they nt length heard a feeble cry. which assured them that both at least were not killed, and being pro vided with stout cords, they joined several together so as to make a rope eighty feet long, and threw it dowu, but it was found to be much too short. They then added another piece sixty fec-t long, and on lowering the rope ouce more they were delighted to find that it reached the bottom ami became tightened, assuring that it had been caught hold of by theirj friends. After more than au hour's I labor they aucceiled in drawing both genlletneii (ruin their terrible position, who stated that they owed their safe ty to the softened suow, which the wind had drifted into the crevasse, en abling them to break the violeuco of their fall. m + '■■■■— • - The most importaut point establish ed by the reported discovery of au opeu polar sea by a German cxpedi j tion, is the apparent confirmation of the theorirs propounded by Dr. Peter mann, a distinguished German geogra pher, in relation to the influence of the Gulf Stream in high latitudes, and the proper course to be taken for Arc tic exploration. Lieuts. I'ayer and Wypercht of this German expedition sailed in a small vessel to seventy nine degrees north, passing between East Greenland and Nova Zembla, and reaching an open sea, which they followed from forty two degrees to six ty degrees east of Greenwich, an ex tent of eighteen degrees of longitude. There they found a state of ice toward the north indicating the most favora ble route to the North Pole. On a chart of the Gulf Stream published in 1870, I)r. Petermann iiad drawn, af ter Dr. Bessel's observations in the steamer Alert, 1869, the Gulf Stream as far north as seventy-five degrees and seventy-six minutes, showing there a temperature of four degrees Reaumur, forty-four Fahrenheit, which is ajhigh er temperature than the Gulf Stream i had ever been found to exhibit on the surface in the same latitude. 'The name Gulf Stream aud the arrow on the chart jw.nt directly to the spot, latitude seveuty-niue north, longitude forty three east, which Lieut. Wyprecht now' announces as that of the most favorable ice relation! for the proba ble connection with tho opeu polar sea toward the cast, and for the most prac ticable route to the North Pole. Of course this is regarded by Dr. Peter mann as a great triumph. ■ ♦ O ♦ Council Bluffs, la., November T- Yesterday as laborers were at work cutting the new road through a hill in the Hollow known as Long Hollow, they excavated a sack containing twelve thousand dollars in gold und silver.

The inhabitants Aroused at Midnight by Shocks as of an (Earthquake— An Enormous Fissure in Main Street—The Principal Buildings Wrecked. ( Scranton, Pa,, November 16.—Hyde Park has again been visited by one of those catastrophe* peculiar to mining regions- About three o'clock thi* morniug the citi zens of that portion of our city lying south of Main street, and in the neighborhood of Scranton avenue, were startled from their slumbers by a rumbling crashing noise, and a trembling of the earth and their buildings, as of an earthquake. So violent were the shocks and to loud the noise, that they fleil terror stricken from their dwellings. After the first paroxysm of fright had passed, the cause of the terrible alarm be came apparent. The mines of the first vein of the Oxford shaft had caved in, causing j the earth to settle some two feet and form- I ing great crarkt in the surface. The area lof ground, which is thickly covered by buildings and handsome dwellings, it abt ut Twenty Acres, extending from Main street at a point west of the Welsh Calvanistic church, running diagonally northeast to Chestnut street. This boundiary of the fall is marked by a i crack which varies in width and depth. ■ This crack, passing through the front yard, of the Welsh Calvanistic church, goes :through the dwelling and store of Mr. | Thomas Philips, Herman's hotel; and the ; adjoining property, breaking their walls and rocking the building* from cellar to garret. Tho Course of the Fissure. Crossing Scranton avenue it crosses tho cornor of Odd Fellow's hall building, breaking open the foundation wall and causing a large opening in tho brick wall, and in fact injuring the entire building. From this point it runs in an easterly di rection, through the property of Dr. Heath, Daniel Howell, D. T. Richard*, Esquire Snyder and others to Chestnut Hill; from thence diagonally to Scrantou avenue, where traces of the fall are lost. But the ; effects of the fall are still visible in the set* tling of the earth about Mr Heerman'srer 'deuce and other dwellings between this point and the place from which we first started.
