Ihe case i the same throughout the state—no where has a fall vote been cost.

Secretary th* President Ought to l>o. [Ftvm the *Vw Pari Tribnte ] The most alarming development of the time, however, is an irregularity in the Treasury of the United t>latrw, By the failure of the Kii< National Bank of Washington, the fart cantelo light that Mr. Secretary Kichardaou had deposited in that institution $187,- 782 of the public money without ©- curitv. We call this an irregularity ; is it not worse; is it not a distinct vio lation of the Banking act. which makes.it obligatory upon the Secreta ry to require of the bauks chosen as depositors of the public money "satis factory security by the dej*ii of United S ate# bonds or otherwise ' b>r its "safe keepiug and prompt la ment ?' Mr. Richardson allowed the bank to hold $287,782 of the public money ou the security of only f lUO,- 000 ill bonds ; and it is charged that he did this against the remonstrances of Treasurer Spiuner, after the un soundnms of the bank had been ascer tained by the official examiner. The defaulting Presidents, and cash iers. and secretaries, and clerks can be puniahed by the law if they are ever caught. The loosely mauaged h nka and other institutions must pay the penaltv of mismanagement iu finan cial loss and the ruin of their busi ness. But what shall be done with a Secretary of the 1 reasnry who, by disregarding the imperative provisions of the statute for the benefit of pol iti cal friends, allows the tuudsr f the Uoi-1 ted States to be swallowAl up in a bankrupt institution? If President Grant has any regard for public sen timent and any desire to regain the confidence of business men, he will deal with Mr. Richardson's delinquen cy promptly and sharply. „♦ The SlufTTeechentare lade of. A significant cjiumeut upon tha capacities of many teachers cornea fmm Elizabeth. N. J., whara applicant* f„ r positions in the public schools have just been examined. A dozen would, be teachers presented themselves at one time. The committee pro* eeded to examine them all. There were several positions vacant, aud it wns hoped that out of the dozen a sufficient uutnber would "pas-' to fill the positions. The examination was one eminently practical, as only piiuntry grade certificates w re needed in ouly four or five elementary studies. The result was anything but satisfactory. Twenty five words were given out to be spelled. They were all of them practical and iu common use every day. One applicant spelled two cor rectly out of the twenty-five, auother spelled three, one or two spelled nearly all, but none spelled every one. "Mannagerv," "N union ia.""Paralel," "Nicb," "fielleta," "Crneha," "Mis chitfoua,*' "Cropua," "Scholia rry"— these are some of the specimen words as copied from the examination papers themselves. The Committee on Teach ers insists that a candidate must re ceive at least 70 per cent.—ouly five reached this standard in spelling. Yet the ones who were most deficient thought they could get aloug if the cjmnftttee would "on y give them s chance." In geography theexauiination showed up several candidates iu a light that would have been comical under different circumstances. The questions and answers were b"th writ ten. Here is a specimen: Question —" Name several of the principal seajiort towns of the United States. Answer —"New York, Massachu setts, Maine and Florida." I Question —"How would you go from Philadelphia to Vienna by water?" Answer —"Delaware river, Dela ware bay, Atlantic ocean, Gulf of Mexico, raoific ocean" These ar% actual written bona fide answers of applicants fur positions as teachers. In all the other studies in which the candidates were examined there was shown that same lack of competency, and out of the twelve who applied only a very small propor tion received the requisite 70 per cent, in all the studies.

There is a certaiu class of pelili-i Icians who manage to keep in |>owei for awhile by working up for them selves, by dint of the management of small matters, a reputation for being a "clever fellow." They stand the treats, give advice, do small tivecent favors that cost tbeiu nothing, aud then ask people to keep them iu office because, as they claim, they are "clev er fellows." This is their principal and capital stock in politics. It is : verv cheap ; costs them very little more than a large amount ot breath, and when iu office where they get a chauce at the people's taxe*. they help themselves very freely and make up legally and illegally a huudred times more than all their small favors cost thein. This is the sort ortant subject affecting himself and bis neighbors. He tries to slide along smoothly and be a "clever fellow."

If h : s own party is ill power, he is always for the Administration —it can do no wrong. If his own party is not in power, then he is always against the] Administration —it can do nothing; right. And this is the politician who aims to be a "clever fellowwho always wants to be iu office ; who is unhappy if his principal time caunot be spent in the vicinity of the Coun ty, Slate, or United States treasuries.

WHO HUNG VKN SIRKATTf [Speeiul Dispatch to the Chicago Tri bune. ] Washington, D. C., Oct. s.—Ex -1 President Johnson, whoee coming here has been frequently announced, has failed to turn up. His letter stating , thai he would be here was written be fore the failure of the First National Bank, of this city, of which he is said to he creditor in SbU,OOO.

Re | turning after the |treeentation of these very significant facts and figures, fo ' the discriminating resolutions of the Massachusetts Republicans, he says : The condemnation of members of Congress who favored this increase has been in the main undoubtedly de em ved. hut wan au lota Q£ fairuess ought nut to make disliucUoni between those voting for and tbe one urging the passage of and approving with his signature, ueoessary to make the bill a law, a measure unfairly and unreasonably increasing salaries.
