IiEsuiNEn. "Honest" Tom Murphy, the man who mttdo a present of a house nnd lot at Long Branch to "tho gov ernment" and huh afterwards appoint ed Collector of tho Port of Now York, has resigned, because, of tho clamor raised agninBt htm as onoof tho Tam many coiTuptionists, and Gen. Arthur, oiio of his clorki, has been uppointcd in his stoad. This is a dirty dodgo on tho part of "tho government" alias Grant. One Account Setti.kd. Tho ac count of Paymaster llodgo has at last been settled in Washington, nnd shows his defalcation to bo just four hundred and forty six thousand two hundred and forty-nine dollars and forty seven cents, ($110,219.47). Such is ono of the many frauds perpetrated on the Treasury by other than Tammany robbers. Not n dollar of this sum will ever find its way into the Treas ury, and wo would not be surprised to learn ot Hodge's promotion, becauso lie is "loyal" and "sharp." Jl'BT Like Him. Tho Kadical dead beat, Calhoun, who for several years past has been robbing tho soldier and tho widows nnd orphans of thut class, in the enpacity of Pension Agent, is tho scoundrol who stumped a portion nf this Stato this nnd last fall for tho Ilailii'iil roriii ":- - - crats was especially bitter, whilo his own honesty and loyalty, liko that of his party, was held to bo God liko. Yet, now, Grant turns him out for robbing tho Treasury. And it is well known that a man must bo a very mean scoundrel if ho attracts tho attention of "our gifted ruler." We suppose Calhoun will bo trotted out noxt fall to blackguard Democrats. The Difference. Tho Tennessee Stato prison labor lias been let to responsible parties, who ngrec to pay unnuully S3l),000 into tho Treasury of the Stnto. Tho penitentiaries in a number of tho States yield a large rovenuo, whilo tho " Pennsylvania plan," ns it is culled, costs tho Stnto Treasury ?50,000 nnd each county from 8500 to 83,000; thus compelling the tux payers to support our prison convicts ut a heavy cxponso, whilo in other States, tho same class as they should, yield a largo rovenuo. Somo body has a "fat thing" out of our two penitcntinrios, and will continuo to havo while tho tax payers nro foolish enough to keep quiet. Grant's Tvrann"V. As an Idea of llio tyranny in South Carolina, Attor ney Genoral Akcrmnn recently stated thut there wore at present confined in tho jails of thut State, at lenst two thousand prisoners, who wore arrested under tho Ku Klux net, nnd moro arrosts aro being daily inndo. Grunt to day is exercising moro despotic power than any of tho crowned beads of Europe. Thero is no monarch on that continent who dares to seizo his subjects nnd thrust them Into dun goons without Orst making accusation und proof of crimo, and giving to tho accused nn opportunity to bo heard. And tho loss of heads and assassina tions which adorn tho pages of history for engaging in wholesale wrong nnd oppression, seems to hnvo no terrors for him in bis wicked career. Tho falo of former rulers who oppressed their pcoplo should bo a warning to him, ns no despot is allowed to escape "Golden" Patriotism. Tho Hon Wm. Pincknry Whylo, tho Governor elect of Maryland, in a speech dolivor- cd at Baltimore, llio olhor evening, among other things, said : What ft shamo that the talents of tlio Krerl 11m Curlires, the I'irrponts, plioulil be directed to llio iiiiilira-nt of Ihe rtiljhern of the publio treas ury in New York, while tliry oloeo their eyes to me greater oritun or the plunderers or imblio lib erty. Mr. Whylo should bear in mind llio fuet that tho tinkle of stolen silver, or tho rustling of greenbacks, falls much heavier upon tho ears of tho shoddy patriots named thnn tho death cry or wmlii of strangled liberty. The groans nnd lamentations of a dying Stnto nover disturbs their equilibrium. It rather soothes thoir loynl hearts, while the liopo of u largo feo, or an opportunity to display partizan mnlico turns them into homos, but ol tho lioibly kind ntajmm Ths XlXth Senatorial IHxIrlet. Tho Supremo Court has ordered tho two senatorial return judges to certify to tho olection returns of Cumberland and Franklin counties, nnd issuo thoir certificate to Weakley, ' tho Itndical oundidato for Senator. This order is sqtiurely in tho faeo of tho decision of Judgo Allison, of Philadelphia, whoro thrco yours ago a similar case urose, and through his decision tho return judges refused to Issue tho certificate to tho Democratic enndiduto, who had tho most votes, This ruling of tho Supremo Court sellles llio mallor so fur as the law is concerned, and in the future Kadicals must obey it as well as Democrats. The Philadelphia Aye., in referring to the question, says s "A singular ignorance was displayed by a ltudical paper of Ibis city, iu commenting on tlio case of the return judges in the Nineteenth Senatorial district, who rejected certain returns. Our cotunipornry said: 'What right or authority of law has ho to sit in judgment upon the ulleged frauds f Thero is no precedent iu tho history of the Commonwealth.' Our colera porary has a short memory. Two years ago, in this city, Judgo Allison established tho procedeul, and advisod Radical return judges to follow it, and wo vculuro to suy thut ho and they wcro highly commended for bo doing by our linuicnl cotempornry who is now greatly scandalized whon its own ox is gored. At llio time whon tlio caso aroso in tho Nineteenth districl, we spoko of it as tho doctrino of Judge Allison, 'returned to pluguo tho invent or Age, Uctobor Z ) Wo cannot now join the Press in abusing coun try election judge for accepting as law wliut was so laid down by a Puiludel phin luwyer. tho President Judge of ono of our Courls, amid a chorus of approbation from tho lindical press. uut the disapproval ot Judgo Allison s doctrino by tho Supremo Court will not distress us in tho lenst. It will retoro tlio law to what we always thought it ought to bo, nnd afford a new cxamplo of tho vory different construction it receives, whon it is for or against tho interests of Kadionl ism." Loyal Wisdom. Hon. Wm. A. Wallace, although at home quietly at tending to his profession, seems to bo the evil genii which troubles tho dreams and haunts tho wuking hours of somo of our 1'adical cotcmpoiarics. They seem to think t lint he is icspon siblo for nil tho devilment done nnd not douo in tho State. The old shod- lyito who presides over tho Lewis- town Gazette, wants him arrested, hung and quartorcd, fincc ho will not, as Speaker of tho Senate, issuo a writ for tho election of a successor to tho lato Mr. Conncll. Upon this point in his loyal wrath ho breaks out nnd says: "Tboro is nothing too mean for that demagogue (Wallace) to bo con cerned in." All bcenuso Mr. Wullucc will not issuo the writ in question, when everybody but shoddy fools know that ho has no moro to do with issuing il, than tho "man in the moon," us that business belongs exclusively to tho Spoakcr of tho next Scnato, who is iv ue uieubuu ; iiesiucs, mr. iiroauuoau is tho ad interim speaker. llio wisdom betrayed by tho old Solomon who presides over tho Ga zette, shows how common sense can bo destroyed by prejudice nnd bigotry, and should bo a warning to younger shoddy patriots who nssumo to load and direct public opinion. Diplomatic Vaorants. Another ono has fullen 1 Diplomacy is latnl to Radical big-bugs. That renowned literary statesman, John Lnthrop Mot ley, was sent as Plenipotentiary to England, n short time ago, to settle tho Alabama claims or thrash the British empire, but was inglorioosly assassinated and us Americans cheated out of our Alabama claims, uforcsuid. Motley is dead. That colehratod masked battery hero, Gen. Schonck, was sent a few months ngo to enjoy tho revelries of llio English court. but his avaricious desires havo already tarnished his honor und disgracod tho American pooplo. Schonck, liko his predecessor, Motley, is looked upon by English gontloinon ns a representa tive American, when in fuct they are only loyal humbugs or vagrant states men, unfilled by nnltiro to roprcsent any pooplo above coxcombs. Vionna-Baltery-Schcnck lias engaged in a mooiibhino mining nnd gambling scheme, and for this low and cheap method of robbery, be has boon snub bed, and as a diplomat is fatally wound ed, nnd ho must bo recalled or ho will be kicked out of Englund. Snoimiert on Tip Toe. Tho nrrivnl of tho Itussian Duke, Alexis, at Now York, a few days ngo, has set flunkey- dom on odgo. Tho American scion stretches out his hand gleefully to grasp that of the liussinn Benr.

Wo print in the Herald this morn ing a genoral survey of the work now bol'oro Congress, with some estimate of what will bo aceomjillshcd in the way of legislation this winter. Novor before in tho history of our national legislative body bus It boon so weak in instruments by which great meas ures nro perfected, nnd nevor before lias bo much of tho perfection of wis dom in legislation been required. Tho crodit of the country is excollont, in spite of blundering linaneial manage ment ; but a wise, comprehensive, statesmanlike measure is needed to make that crodit toll in favor of our industries at home and our commerce on the seas. As a financier, Mr. Bout well is a failure; but, unfortunately, the, administration and Congress aro dependent upon him for Buanuiul ideus and guidance. Mr. Sumner is neither friendly to Huparly in powor, though he is himself' of that party, nor is he tho.man to put tho country on a solid, gold paying basis. Mr. Sherman, tho Chairman of llio Financo Committeo of tho Senule, is a taritT tinkor only this and nothing moro. Mr. Morion, who, if any body, is theoraclo of tho ad ministration, is too much of a politician ever to become a statesman. Mr. Trumbull tanks very high in a certain school of politics, but ho is positive only iu his luck of ovory positive quality. This makes up all of tbo Sonato who can bo looked to, howover remotely, tor legislative relief in the present crisis ; and thoy aro the mon upon whom deponds, in a great meas ure, the hope of tho immediato futuro. In llio House, Duwes, Garfield, Kel ley and Shollabarger aro llio leading liirhts of llio republican Hurt v. Gen oral Butlor is kicking around on the oulsidu ot tho party pond, trying to teach in various ways the party ducks how to improve thoir swimming ground. But thero is no more to be hoped lor Irom the live Keiiiesonta lives than from tho five Senators. Neither of thorn can bo cotnnarod to tho five wiso nnd tho five foolish vir gins, for they are all without oil in their lamps. And yet important meas ures anecting taxation and the In terests ofindustry and commorce force themselves upon the country and Con gress, though the ability to deul with these questions is wanting. Ameri cans complain thut they cannot build ships or compcto with other nations in the trade ot the world ; and Con gress responds that it does not know how it is. Iho American merchnnt finds, in spite of steam and tho elec tric intercourse of the cables, thai exclningo in London tells fearfully against him year aftor year with millions of gold lying idlo in tho Treasury or dolod out in Wall strool as nn Eighth avenue grocer doles out eggs to bis customers in a searco sousnn. But Congress, busy as it is with taxation and the tariff, tho duty on coal and the duty" on iron, can find no way to make greenbacks as good as gold and nn American acceptance in London equal to a British uccept anco in Now York. Mr. Boutwell docs not want specio payments any more than a country storekeeper do- sires a lull in tho price ot prints. Congress cannot Btcp in with n grand and comprehensive scliemo which will bring tho precious ores out ol their hidden vaults to revivify ovory branch of industry and trade, becauso Con- gross knows only tlio law ol small expedients. Nothing comes of it all, and nothing can come of it till a dol Ixr is a dollnr in fuel. n-oil In namo, and till payment of tho national debt becomes a possibility, not by be ing taken out of the mouths of the people at tho expeuso of sweat und toil, which leaves the nation poorer at the end of tho yoar than ut the bo ginning, but by tlio overflowing nnd redundant wealth of an cnorgclio and prosperous nationality. It is not the sutcsmnn who can perccivo this who will prove himself grout, but he who can swoop away llio necessity lor such measures of small-minded succor as the repeal of that grand achieve ment ol Ainoncan statesmanship known us mnrilimo reciprocity, or smaller altompts to mako the volumo of tho currency solf adjusting, accord ing to tho wants ol tho people, by a policy which shall mako golden caglos flow in tho snmo channels as golden sovengns, will mnke lor luinscll ever lasting fame, and of his countrymen happy nnd prosperous pcoplo. This is tho groat thing for Congress to accomplish. All other schemes are only a tiurt of this, linkorinir at tho tariff may lead to warm discussions between ardent but superficial protec tionists, and not loss ardent and super ficial rcvonuo reformers. Tho ropoul of maritime reciprocity may inspire the hope that tho golden ngo ol American commcrco, when tho American sails whitened ovory sou and tho American Aug gladdoncd ovory port, is about to return once moro. Efforts to make tho volumo of tbo currency Self ad justing, according to tho wants of tho people, may provouo a smilo among men who know that paper is paper, whether it is called ono dollar or a hundred; but they can ouly give us now loan bills, with frosh syndicates and fresh failures. And yol, in spite of bulls and bears and Boutwell and blundering Congressmen, a green back is worth in gold nearly the ftuo of tho figures printed upon il, becnuso it represents the energy and weullh and credit of llio nation. It is only a step from the depreciated currency of today to llio gold values of to-morrow; but it is a step which, if taken, will mako tho draft of tho New York morchunt oquul to the draft of the merchant in London and Liverpool, and lift the American people out of Iho slough of despond. To take this slop is tlio mission of the Forty Bocond Congress ; but without this there is no necessity whatever for a Forty-soc-ond Congress. It would be a humiliating spectacle' to sea Congressmen busy thomselves for a whole winlor, as they havo oflon dono before, with political intrigues lor tho Presidential nomination und embassies to tho White llouso for rioliticnl pntroungo in Hie custom iouscb and post offices. It would bo a moro humiliating spectacle to soo Congress spend its time on land grabs and other jobs for wasting llio people's money. je w torn Jlcraia.

Very consistent hypocrites I Thoir moguls, Philips, Sumnor and Wilson, have for tbo past decade led the northern people in their lunatic doctrino that the races are equal, nnd that a commixture of blood would irn provo Ilia species.

Grant's Military Son. President Grant, it seems, is not satisfied with appointing to office every .one of his own end his wife's relatives, even to the third and fourth generation, but must ncods sco thnt they take from tho people every cent that can be mado out of such ofliccs by any artifico that dishonesty and low cunning aro copablo of dovising.

Grant, who recently graduated near tho foot of his class ut West Point and who should havo beon assigned a position in the inf'unlry, finds himself suddenly translated to a lieutonancy in the Fourth Cuvalry. Only a President's sua not even a Kaiser's could have received such unmerited promotion. Tho country first discovered this fuel through a military ukase, recent ly published, ordering "Lieut." Grunt to report to Gun. Sherman and to ac company that officer on his European lour. Had Lieut.
