Helves the question whether?' a part\
guilty of advocating and passing thi
most infamous Metropolitan Police Bill
should not be consigned to everlasting
oblivion?’ ThepeoplqofPhiladelphia,

owe Gov. Geary a debt of gratitudpPoi
having 'throttled this stupendous out-.
rage, and for. the strong and lucid argu :
meat ho employed agaiu&'its treasdnay

bigoted partisan as he is, the Governor,
ns a sworn officer, was not quite ready
ve sanction to a measure that wnt
calculated and intended to deprive thi
people of Philadelphia of the rights
guaranteed thepo by the Constitution.
He was not quite partisan enough h

Xo wonder that scores of Republicans,
who are not lest to all shame, and who
have some reverence for onr Constitu
tion and Taws, stand paralyzed with
amazement when they see the Republi
can majority of the Legislature present
ing a united front in favor of measures
that strike direct at the people and at
onestrokeconsign tooblivion sovereign
government. Bad this last outrage of
ft besotted and corrupt party been sanc
tioned by the Governor, riot and blood
shed would certainly have followed, for
it was a well ascertained fact that Mayor
Fox and his officers, with the people to
baek them, had made up their minds
to treat with contempt this dastardly
attempt to wrest the city from their
keeping. Let the people reflect; let
them mask the doings of the conspira
tors who are in the majority in the
Legislature; let them read Gov. Geary’s
veto message; and then, as honest men.
say whether they can longer sanction
such. perfidy, such plain and palpable
treason.
»VK WANT MORE VIM IN CONOR ESS,
Now that Mr. Dawes (Republican) of
Massachusetts, has, in his two or three
speeches, in the House of Representa
tives, shown by figures and incontro
vertible facts, that Grant is a ninny, a
■ nobody, and that his so called adminis
tration revels in corruption and extra
vagance, It behoves the Democratic
members of Congress to follow up the
exposures that have been made, by well
directed blows against the '‘powers that
be.” We thank Mr. Vorhees, of Indi
ana, for his late speech, in which he so
ably exposed the corruptions and the
villainies of the miserable Grant ad
ministration. But we want the other
able Democratic members of Congress
to join Vorhees in assaulting the scoun
drels who are sapping the foundations
of our republic' and squandering the
people’s money.' The Democratic party
has many able men in Congress,’ who
should-now buckle on their armor, and
wield a lance against the.enemy. Never
was there such an opportunity. We
have been entirely too modest of late
years. We must fight the devils in
power inch by inch. We must speak
of scoundrels and robbers in terms suit
able to be applied to such miscreants.
We must be more aggressive, more deter
mined in bur opposition to the cowardly
conspirators -who are. growing fat on
corruption and fraud.
We appeal, them to the Democratic
members of Congress to be more on the.
alert. Let them assault the enemy at’
every turn. Let them speak of them as
traitors, robbers and conspirators, and
hold up to the people the extravagance
and villainies of the Grant failure. 1 We
appeal to Woodward,.Stile-*, Randall,
and Getz, of Pennsylvania; to Kerr,
Niblack, and Vorhees, of Indiana; to
Trimble and Beck, of Kentucky; to
Swann and Archer, of Maryland ; to
■ Haight, of New Jersey; to Cox, Slocum,
..Brpoks, Wood and Pot'erof N. Y.; to
Mungen, Van Trump and Morgan of O.;
to Smith of Oregon; to Simplon of South
Carolina; and to Eldridge of Wisconsin,
to thunder their anathemas against the
miserable failures who are now, unfor
tunately for our country, Invested ith
power. There never was, in the world’s
history, such a set of low scamps in pos
-essionuf a government as we now see
■in possession of the United States. They
are snobs, boobies, fools, conspirators.
Let us speak of them as such; let not
the impudent bravado of the coward,
Boast Butler, or the whining declama
tions of that dirty hound, ‘‘Judge Kei
icy,” throw us off our guard, but let our
representative, men—the men whose
names we have mentioned —gra-p the
questions before them, and discuss them
boldly, fearlessly, and in language that
the people will understand. <
We repeat, we want to see an aggres
sive policy. We have been on the de
fensive too long. We must change our
tactics. We must charge home upon
the enemy. They are plotters against
the peace of the country—Grant aifetho
head of them—and we must teJI them
so. Up, then, members of Congress who
have the ability to combat the enemies
of our country; up, and at the enemy
on every occasion. We want to see more
Dim in our public men—more determl
natiCb—more spirit. Up, and throttle

That the American people disgraced
themselves and their country when they,
elevated the imbecile Grant to the Pre
sidency, is now very generally admitted
>y the reflecting men of both parties, A
.imminent .Radical Senutor, lu conver
sation with some gentlemen, in one ol
ho hotels'at Washington, a few days
since, confessed that Grant was “ a low
tnun—a man lacking honor and jiidg-
nont.” That was all he said and ali
hid Was necessary to bb said. Grant ft
•alow man,” and a,low .man is out 01
,tlaco in. ihp Presidential chair. The
very fact that hesolls the offices in his
tift for presents ; that lie has bestowed
lucrative positions upon all his relatives;
shat ho has been engaged in gold gamb
ling; that he has yielded his.own opin
ion and submitted to .the 'dictation of
'dadicol thieves and negroes; that he
aas appointed two murderers, several
.ail-birds,and scoresof thieves to office.
.3 evidence that he Is “ a low man.”
Ho lacks honor in every transaction,
and even the Radicals despise him for
nis nu an and petty tricks.
Some months ago, this •• tow man “
Grant sold his house in Washington—
a house that had been presented to him
by a halfdoien officeseskers—to Mayor
■ Bowen,'of Use. same chy, for Si'CoKft.

was so pay. Tbs “ low maa” was ip a
■quandary, for fce tcew Ih.it the-.house
in question was not his—that it was
Bowen's. Bat be coaid not afford to
lose *20,000. He therefore sent for Bow
en, and actually offered to sell to him
all'the appointments to be made for the
District of Columbia, in consideration
that he would consent; to a
cancellation of the article of agreement
existing between them concerning the
boose! In other words, Bowen was to
cive up the property to Grant and thus
permit him to make $20,000.; and Grant
was to permit Boiveii to name all the
office-holders (several hundred) for the
District of Columbia, and to make out of
them all he coi ld-! Was there ever such
a diving into corruption as this?.. Would
any one have believed that even “ a
low man” could be low eneugh for this?
And think of it, reader ; the nian who
made this proposition to the:Mayor of
Washington is the President of the
•United States! The Washington cor
respondent of the New York Post— a
Radical paper—says in his letter of the
9th lust:
“The statement, with reference to the
sale of the Grant house and ollices in the
District of Columbia, which appeared in
the Now York lYorfd, has created mueli
excitement in Washington. This sub
ject has been so freely ventilated in the
city that all are familiar with it. With
out going at length into the statement
of tlje,.case, It. is .understood here that
Grant did unequivocally (whether in di
rect or indirect language) agree to allow
the Mayor to control the offices in the
District, provided Mint he (the Mayor)
would release him (Grant)from the bar
gain or sale of ids house and lot on I.
street. Grant offered his house for sale,
and Bowen«flhe Mayor) bought it tur
ner the advertisement for forty thousand
dollars, and paid one thousand dollars
down to close the bargain.. Before the
deed was given, Grant was offered sixty
thousand dollars for (he house. Hecould
not loose $20,000 of course, and in order to
I induce Bowen to give up the house, he
undoubtiy agreed that Bowen should.
control the Distriotappointments. While
there may be some doubt about the exact
language in which the contract was con
cluded, no one here,.either friend or ene
my, doubts that there was really a bar
gain and saleof the offlcesof the District,
and that the mice paid was $20,000, or
the difference between the first offer
and the last. "So lot the- world wag.”
In conclusion,.we may state that May
or Bowen Indignantly rejected Grant’s
corrupt and demoralizing proposition.
Not only did he refuse Grant, but he
exposed him, and he threatens to bring
suit against him if the house he purch
ased of him is not given into his (Bow 1 -
en’s) possession. This Graqt cann< t do,
for he has sold Bowen’s house to.a com
mittee of New Yorkers, for $OO,OOO, who.
presented it to Gen. SKerman. Is this
the transaction of a fool, or is it the net
of a man who is as destitute of honor as
he is ofdr cen-y?
The State Funds.— The reluctant
' testimony of State Treasurer Mackey
before the Senate Finance. Committee
at Harrisburg, shows that the public
funds are scattered about.in different
parks of the State, in the hands of vari
ous bankers and private individuals,
some of whom, according to Mackey’s
eonfession, cannot be depended upon to
refund the money-if suddenly called
upon. The interst. of the funds goes
Into the private pocket of the Treasurer,
while the money of the tax-payers,
which should be used in reducing the
Slate debt, is appropriated to purposes
of speculation, with constant danger of
total loss, by his friends and favorites
It is time for a change in this impor
fant matter, and we hope the Finance
Committee will give the casea thorugh
ventilation, so that the public may see
how their confidence has been abused by
the “loyal” preachers of “economy” at
Harrisburg, It is hard enough for the
people to bear the burden of taxation,
without running the risk of losing the
Slate funds through mismanagement
and rascality in high places.

Personality in Congressional debate
.is both wrong and ~ undignified, and It
should find no defenders. But when
Butler speaks he always-deals in this
kind of warfare, and no one can answer
him without a resort to the same wea
pons. Mr. Cox, of New York, can be
excused, therefore, for handling Butler
us he did on the 10th Inst., during n de
bate in the House of Representatives.
Cox, in his first reply to Butler, spoke
in a humorous strain, but was not pai
ticularly insulting; at least ho was not
-■personal.' In his rejoinder, Butler as
sailed Cox personally, and ineoucludiug
his.remarks, waived his, hand in an in
sulting manner, and, lookipg.,Cox,full
in the face, said—‘fstioo, ftjpj don’t bod

'remark. Cox replied.\We quote front,

Everythin* would glance from that gen

THE FARMERS.
Farmers, say's that excellent journal,
tl» Allentown Democrat, are beginning
to feel the effects of Radical legislation,
the extravagance of Radical officials,
and the heavy imposition of Radical
taxes. As long as-grain and all other
products or the farms were High, tney
did not mir d to pay roundly for radical
rule, for the reason that it camp hack
four-fold, hut now, when grain is down,
they are beginning to feel; and conso
quently to think—that is the Radical
portion of them—the Democratic far-,
mers saw the tendency of things long
ago, but their warning voices were dis
regarded in the flush times. The Na
tional Government spent its millions
on Freedmen’s Bureaus, controlling the
elections so that Radical officials and
negroes might be elected to office, man
ipulating Legislatures so that Negro
Suffrage Amendments might becarried,
and were generally so extravagant in
every department of the Government
that it was recently even found neces
sary to bleed farmers bringing produce
to market of a SXQ license fee, so that the
grand carousal might go on at Washing
ton . ■■
Under this state of'affair's we are not
surprised that the farmers are begin
ning to hold meetings to take into con
sideration their true Interests. Other
branches of industry, besides the far
mers, are also beginning to feel the
heavy hand of unwise Radical rule pres
sing upon them, and are preparing to
meet, and, if possible, overcome the
blighting evil.
Choosing a Business.—“Whatshaii
I do?” is a question which*forces itself
upon every young man of quality and
brains. And it often becomes an em
barrassing one where it is associated
with proper reflection and earnestness.
As a choice must be made at an cqrly
age, the intensity of the question in
creases with the limited time to which
the decision Is confined. There may
be danger of increasing the perplexity
unnecessarily, by indulging the hoßp
of fully satisfying the mind, at the out
set in the choice of a business. But
here there should not be an oyer-anxie
ty. The pursuit of a business creates a
teste and satisfaction as qualification
and adaptation advances. The path
that is perseverlngly trod, soon becomes
fimiliar and pleasant.
The great object then is a business..

Gentlemen : Having carefully, con
sidered tjenate bill. No. 29, entitled, "An
act to provide fur the appointment of a
Metropolitan Police for the city of Phlia
dephia,’’ and although actuated by . a
xlucere desire, to conform my action in
regard to it to that of the General Assem
bly, lam constrained to withhold the
Executive sanction,'and proceed to the
constitution*! duty of giving my reasons
In the'flrst place the title it hot In con
formity with, the eighth section of the
Eleventh Article of the Constitution,
which declares that "no bill shall be
passed by the legislature,- containing,
mure than one subject, which shall be.
clearly expressed In the title.” - As 1
read the hill one of its most important
■eatures is the election of five polite com
missioners: and yet this idea Is ueither
clearly expressed, nor even remotely in
dicated by. the title. '
Another objection to. the bill Is that
the whole sixteen pages aA Jumbled hi-'
getber Into one'sectlon. Iris Usual nnd :
proper to divide bills of suchUengib into,
sections, each embracing seme marked
teatuiee, and to have the eecthus arrang
ed according to some natural trder. Al
though this Is only a matter \f form, I.
am aware of no good reason fdV thls de
parture inns usage,' and utter disregard’
of ail sound precedent. '
Much has been said'about the charac
ter and inefficiency of the poiiceUf Phila
delphia ; and I am fully persuaded malty
of them are not such aa the good order of
the city demands. Bat whilst tbie.ia an
acknowledged evil, and a proper aubjeot
for legislative consideration, X than
doubt the wUdom of the remedy proposed
•by this bill. It. is manifest, however,
tiiat it is a most important one, and that
it contemplates an entire revolutlou;ln
•his hrnm h of the city government.
The euustitutinnal- authority of. the
. legislature, in a period ofproiqund peace,
to cr- in a power such as Is cohtefnpla
leil by the "Metropolitan Polled Bill" to
operate over the whole Staid,.nr any part
thereof, is a question of great magnitude,
and one which, under a republican form
ofKoverumeiit.deeorvdsaerlousednsidera
lion, as involves inherent and indefeasi
ble rights and.other fundamental princi
ples in a government established for; the
benefit and happiness of the people. ■ ‘
The bill under consideration is fraught
with momentous consequences to ’the'
citizens of Philadelphia and of the State.
And the position that the power can be
taken away from so large a portion of the
people; of Pennsylvania,, without their
consent, for a period of years, and lodged;
in the hands of six persona, is to me ex
traordinary, untenable and In violation 1
ot the spirit, meaning and intent of. the
first and second sections of the Twdffthi
Article of the Constitution. Thesecoriff
section declares "that all i.mVer Is inher
eut in the people,, anti nil free govern
ments are founded on their authority and
instituted for their peace, safely and hap
plnesa.” The constitution sets forth, In
such plain and unequivocal terms, the
principles upon Which a r republican gov*
eminent shall be conducted' that com
ment would be superfluous, and would
weaken rather than strengthen the case.
If there exists any right nr authority
In the legislature to concentrate power
in a few'men fora term of years, then It
“ u ®t be admitted, that they have the
right to do it for .any -number of years, or'
to make it a perpetuity.
To recognize the right to legislate thus,
specially for one city i*L virtually to ac-i
knowledge that the legislature has au
thority to make similar enaefinents In
every other city, borough, village, comi
ty and township within the State; and
that by the same reasoning Congress ■
possesses UK© po ter 10 legiim.V
different States, enact a grand Metropoli
tan Police Bill, and secure plenary ex ,
ecutive, legislative and judicial powers ,
in the hands of a few persons; and thus 1
exclude the masses of the people from’all
participation in the government of them
selves. I must confess that lam entire-,
ly unprepared to sanction any legislation 1
so mischievous in. its tendencies, and
■so adti*repuhJican in its ' character,
and which js calculated to uproot .and
destroy the dearest principles and prlvl
leges of the people, which underlie the
institutions of our well regulated^,Com
monwealth. Justice and the dictates of
sound public policy require that the citi
zens of ©very political and corporate <ll
vision, howevergreat or small, sbould.be
permitted, as an inherent right of. self
• government without "officious lnt» rmed*.
tiling” fro HI any quarter, to maffage their
oWn ln tlieir own way;
through officers selected at the ballot-box
by themselves. .. v,; .
In remarking upon this subject L have
elsewhere said, “The great principle,
then, upon, which-our free institutions
rest is the unqualified and absolute sov
ereignty of the people; and coustHotlng,
as that principle does, the most positive
and essential features inthe great charter
of onr liberties, so it Is better calculated
than any other to give elevation to our I
hopes and dignity to our actions. So |
Jodv! as the people feel that the power to
e ect their own offlceis and administer
their own government abides in them, po
long will they be Impressed with that
seaee of security, and of dignity, which
must ever spring from the consciousness
that they hold within their own bands a,
remedy for every political evil, a correc
tion for every governmental abuse and
usurpation.. This principle must be up
held and maintained at all hazards and
every sacrifice—maintained in all the
power and fullness—ln' all the breadth
and depth of Its utmost signification. It
Is not sufficient that it- be acknowledged
as a mere abstraction, or theorv, or doc
trine, but as a practical, substantial, liv
ing reality, vital in etfery part.”
The city of Philadelphia in order to pay
the necessary expenses of her govern
ment, of he • new, important and extend
ed improvements, and the interest on
her immense debt (now greater than that
of the Commonwealth) is not in a condi-i
tion to increase her liabilities, and if she
does, it ought to be with a perfect under
standing for whatpuapose and to what
amount.
The salary of the mayor, who now per
forms all the functions that are proposed
to be placed in the hands of this board of
police commissioners, is four thousand
dollars,.while tbesalaries of the six com
missioners, at three thousand dollars
I each, onp clerk a( fifteen hundnd dollars
and one at one tbousaufi'dolJars, a com
mitting magistrate ot the Central station,
say three thousand dollars, and a clerk at
fifteen hundred, and that of the examin
ing physician, three thousand dollars,
amount to the sum of twnnf.y.nloht thou
sand dollars, to which may .he added
rents, stationery, printing and inciden
tals, at least twenty-two thousand dollars
more, making In all the sum at fifty;
thousand dollars for salaries and expens
es for the official department alone, i
The bill saya; "The said board shall
have entire poptrol qf qll the police of
top city, and shall have authority to. In
oroasp the fqrce of patrolmen, should they
deem the same npcessary; and It Is here*
by made the duty of the se]ept and cpm
men ootippll to appropriate sufficient
moneys to meet the expenses of. the
board and said force," ' * ,
This Is In every respect the most-per
fect surrender of. plenary powers of the'
many to the few that I have,ever wlt-i
nessed. Absolute control of the police,'
power to increase the number at Ibsir

such Infliction of absolute government
and taxation upon themselves for a sin
gle moment. This is the kind of leghc,

the peace, creates discontent, dissatlstac

A republican government cannot Long
exist under partial and upenual law.
Aud republic wtb all
■ibe 'blessings wbifcb cluster around it,
the State Legislature must euact laws,
bearing alike upon all with equal aud.
exact Justice to ail, without prejudice or
-partialiiy.
A majority fu the State undertaking to
iegU'ate to perpetuate its power by the
passage of Jaws unequal, unjust and opp
ressive toward the. minority, is not re
publican in form nor democratic n prin
oiple, and must soon,sink into imperial
ism. - . ■
For these and other reasons I cannot
give the executive, sauction to this or
any other act which has a tendency to
stake from the.;people boy portion of their
. h-hereni rights.. The election of eve ylo
cal officer charged vvnh ihe dunes oi
executive authority, or with, the execu
tion of ibe laws, should be submitted to
, a direct popular vote;.and I can see no
reason why the people of Philadelphia
should be made an exception to this rule,
/and be deprived of the right of choosing
by their own votes those who shall con
stitute the commissioners of police, as
swell as whp’sball be their mayor, select
arid common council, or their represen
tatives in the legislature.
’ It is an elementary axiom that every
government should have some responsi
,ble head ; and in a-republican govern
raeut that respousibiliiy should be to the
people, the source of all political power.
Heretofore the mayor of Philadelphia
has occupied, this position of trust qnd
responsibility. To.him the people looked,
'ana had a right to look, for the p oper
.execution of the laws and the preserva
tion of the peace »nd good order of thefci
ty. If he has failed meet their Just
expectations, they have their remedy at
the ballot box; and it la fair to presume
tuej will avail themselves of ft at the
first lawful opportunity. Would it im
prove the existiiig condition, of things to
divide, this : responsibility
commissioners, of wuom the mayor
would be but one? To whom would
they be responsible fora proper discharge
of duty ? Hardly, to the legislature of
the whole State, which ohungesunnually.
Not to .the qualified .electors of the city,
for they did.not elect them and cannot,
majority of their sucoe-sors for three
years, nor a.new board for five years.
Divided responsibility ip government Is
a political heresy, and nearly related to
no responsibility. What kind of an ar
my would that be which had six com
manding officers, all of equal rank?
And-what sort of a State administration
would that be emanating from six Gov
ernors, all of equal power and authority?
A nd what good could be expected oi
police organization which itr to be gov
erned by six ..equal and irresponsible
commissioners? .
If the people of Philadelphia desire a
Metropolitan Police£lll, let the ooaftuix
sioiien* be of their own choosing, at the
ballot-box. Let them be 44 of the people,
for the people and by the people.’’
To my mind these objections are insu
perable, and the bill is therefore returned
for further consideration.

Supreme Court Room, Washington, January
81, ICTo.— Dear Brother: Your term of Judicial
service as a Justice of the Supreme court of the
'/United Slates will close to-day, by your resigna
tion. We cannot permit an event so Interesting

have been long associated with you. and though
the association of others has be»*n for briefer
periods, we all honor and love you/
Almost a quarter of & century ego yon brought
to the labors of Iho court a mind of great origi
nal vigor, endowed with singular powers of ap
prehension and discrimination; enriched by
profound knowledge of the' law, and prepared
for (be new work before you by large experience
in a tribunal of which you were the sole Judge,
Always you possessed the esteem, tberos]
~ ~Shd the entire obuQdeuce ol the bar and the
Oiltors who frequented your court, and of the

Transferred tp a. more conspicuous position,

We who have been pearest to you best know
how valid is your title to consideration and

MB. JUSTICE OUTER'S REPLY.
Washington, February 1, Jfe7o Dear Brethren:
Your loiter, read to me by ibe chief Justice last
evening, quite overcame ttio, and I could then
make no reply. I promised to respond In wri
ting.’
My pen, evtn now, cannot express the pro
foundest emotions It awakened; sentiments of
esteem and affection towards each one of you;
sentiments'of regret, not unralngled, -1 trust,
with resignation, that Increasing Infirmities
have compelled our separation, and sentiments
ot gratitude for snob a testimonial from my
brethren at the close of my long term of service.
In my home In Pennsylvania, whether life be
long or short, .yon may rest assured I shall
always oherisu for each of you warm affection
and sympathy. ,
That God’s blessing may rest upon the Supremo
Court of the United States, nnd.upon each of Its
members, Is the fervent prayer of your late as
sociate and brother, y O, Grier.
Judge Grier was born In 1701,* 1q Cumberland •
county, Pennsylvania, and was appointed a
Justice of the Supreme Court by President Polk
In 1840. At the time of his promotion to the
Supreme Bench - he was President Judea of the
District Court of Allegheny county, apoaUlmi.
he had filled for a number of years with distin
guished ability nud admltted Integrity. Judge
Grier Is a remarkable man. As a Jurist he has
few, if any, superiors In the country, while hi*,
perfect and absolute honesty, the brightest
Jewclin thejudlclal diadem, was universally con
ceded. His place on tbo Bench of our hlglies^
. legal tribunal will be difficult to supply. Borne,
down wltn ago and Infirmity, but wilh bis clear
aud massive Intellect unimpaired, he retires
from 'he Bench bo bad so long dignified and
adorned, with the warm esteem and confidence‘
of-his brother Judges and with the best wishes
of his countrymen for the calm and peaceful
enjoyment of a retired life. , ‘
Giant is In a towering rage over the rejection
by the Senate of bis friend Hoar! for one of the
vaoaules on the Supreme'Bench. Your readers
will remember that some weeks ago this nomi
nation was laid on the table, and since that time
efforts have been made by tbo more conciliatory
Senators, to Induce the President to withdraw
Hoar's name. But Grant's dignity was hurt, and
he became stubborn on their hands. Was ho
not commander In chief of the army and navy
the United States—how dare tbo Senate resist
his will? Ho peremptorily refused to wlthdr w
the name of Hoar, and the' Senate rejected the
.nomination by a majority of ten. But Hoar Is
not to be disposed of in that summary manner.
He has made up his mind to 1 stick" In the cab
inet, and has become-more Imperious and In-;
salting than ever. At Secretary Fish’s reception
on Friday night of lost week,ho mot Senate,
lawyer, of North Carolina, one of the most nc-
live opponents of his confirmation. Sawyer of
fered bis hand in a friendly manner, when Hoar
sharply and insultingly replied: "Well, I see
South Carolina aad Massaohusetts have resumed
their old relations of hostility.’’ It is said that
.Sawyer felt sorely tempted to play Bully Brooks
upon this nowspeolmen oi Now England arro
gance and Impudence.
Revels, the recently elected ’ negro Senator
from Mississippi, hois made his appearance on
the floor of the Senate several times .and created
quite a sensation. Tho moment ho entered the
Senate chamber, several Senators hurried over
to him, shook him warmly by the hand, and
welcomed him to his new field bf labor. .Sum
ner was of course the first to congratulate hlnsa.
ble brother, ho smiled all over his hend;ond
aaid any number of pretty things, which wqre
heartily appreciated by th 6 colored Senator.— '
Sumner aud two or throe others subsequently
visited theladles'gallery,and were introduced
to Mrs. Revels, The same evening a fashlona*
bio reception was given to the "distinguished
Southerners," at the residence.of the darkey
barber, at Wlllarde, which was attended by
Colfax, Sumner. Dawes, Butler, Kelly, Wilson
and nearly all the radical .loaders. Several of
the’Senators wore nosegays.iri their button holes
presented by buxora and blushing damsels ot
the African persuasion.
Recent developments show that radical mem
means in conferring appointments to tho "mili-
tary an ; » the naval school They have been put
np for sale to the highest bidder, and have fie
quently brought prices ranging from $«00 to
86.000. One case is notorious In which a South
ern carpet-bagger sold a cadetship to.a Phila
delphian. So shapieless haa this brokerage be
come that Congressmen advertise In the public
newspapers that such positions may be bought
on reasonable terms. A. lad from the North,
whose parents are able to plank down, the dust'
makes a contract with a Southern onrpet-bag
ger. moves South fof& f|jv months, gets the np.
potntment. and his future is made. The more
incompetent the lad p the better for the congress
man. for If the appointee is rejected,, there Is
anothei chance to make a few thousand out of
the same position. .
Nepotism has reached Us climax In the ap
pointment of Master Dent Sharpe as a, edddt to
the Naval Academy at Airopoils. This, youngs
ter is the only appointee atinrge »o‘ tho Naval
Academy who is not tho sou of an army or-Na
val officer, but he Is thesbn of Dr. Sharpe, Mar
shall of the District of .Columbia, and nephew bf
President Grant., it Is doubtful, very doubtful,
whether therein a relative on either side of tbo
American family royal, down.tdlhe last degree
of cousinhood, left unprovided lor now.
Somebody sent Grant a little bldck setter dog.
with tea dollars freight attached to him. Grant
refused to pay tho " C. O. D„" but one of’his ser-
▼ants obtained his permission to pnv the ten
dolinra and lake the dog, He has since discov
ered himself to be the lucky owner of a setter
valued at least This being the only pre
sent Grant was ever known to refuse, he :s now
so sorely perplexed about It that he vows never
to refuse a’notner. Send on your pups.
