The anti-Grant movement was in
stituted, said Wilkes, after tbo cen
spinicy which ho Instituted against

the scandalous oxoroiso of tho wholo

Seilnte anil 1 oxpcl ono of iu most
triisfud members from a most rcspon

Tho object of this was to humiliato
him and wus promptod by a mean
spirit of rovongo, and next to dispose
of his opposition all of which had
bocn entirely within the lawful pre
rogative of a Senator to ono of bis
jobs, in which it was more than sus
pected that ho had an ultimate por
Hfiuul profit. Tho news of this out
rage came to mujn Nuplos.

I wo days previous to tho nomina

A NATIONAL RLFOHM MOVEMENT.
Another causo w hich I regard as
bearing disastrously upon tho lor'.unes
of (irant was the Taintnany explosion
in tho city of Ne'.v York. This not
only gave extraordinary activity to
tho political mind, lut lit
a rlformi.no fire
which, growing furiously through un

Reporter. The ndministrnlion par

Mr. Wilkes. When tho reform wns
accomplished, by tho downfall of the
ring, tho Grant parly imagined that
they bad won a new odvantuge, nnd
loudly d.'clared that they were now
certain of tho Slate of Now York.
Keen observers judged just tho other
way. Fetiton, with bis usual industry,

Mr. Sumner would probably bo one,

means wo shall develop tho eutito
strength of the country against Grant,
and thus render him ineligible.
I.'eportor. What was tho general
opinion about Grant's slronglh ?
Mr. Wilkes. It was felt by all thai
though General Grant hnd the appear
anco of great strength ho bad, iu fact,
no personal popularity. As a proof
of this, tho fact was brought forward
that no Legislature in the west bad
missed resolutions in bis favor. Wo
ull see that there is no magnetism of

is uboul him simply tho habit of pow

The Kadical Thimble Riggora.
Tho "civil service roformors" raised
quitoa"linb bub" in tbo United Slates
Senate, on Thursday llih ult., over o
resolution introduced by Mr. Trum
bull, of Illinois, for the purpose of
raising a committee to look into and
examine the numerous robberies that
have boon eommittod by government
oflleiuls during the pus t year.
Senator Morton, of lndiuna, who is
rjtton physically, morally and politi
cally, ond known as Grant's '-butty,"
championed and defended "tho gov
ernment" und tbe robbers.
The following is a portion of the do
bate on the question :
'Mr. Pattkrkon" Iiero interposed to
make an explanation, and in reply to
tho remarks by Mr. Trumbull, said :
"I do say that there uro Inspectors in
tho Custom House in Now York who
stated bcl'oro tbe Commission under
oath that in.

and in violation of tho laws of the
land, they had tuken bribes, und that
thoy took bribes evory timo they dis
charged it vessel. And 1 may further
Buy that tbo agents ot steam com panics

vessels discharged without bribing
oflleiuls."
Mr. Sumner I should liko to know
whether theso men uro continued in
oflico. .
Mr. Patterson I have no knowl
edge of thorn over having been re
moved. I know nothing about it.
Mr. Sciiurz Tho Senator from
Indiana, (Mr. Morton,) says that my
remarks yesterday cast a rofleclion
on tho Republican party. How so 1
Do not wo ail profess to bo in favor of
reform, und yet when u member of
(liis body attempts to lay bare gross
abuse, tho cry is raised thut ho is try.
iug to injure tho Republican party.
My motives huvo been reflected upon
and I, nnd those with whom I act,
haVo been asked, "What objects We
pursue 1" 1 hid roHily to tell llio Sen
ate. My object is to uncover, and to
denounce, nnd to try to huvo corrod

nothing.
Mr. TinoN followed in support of
Mr. Trumbull' proposition. Ilo cited
Mr. Morton's statement yesterduy,
tbnt tbo object of those that be
friended that proposition was to show
that groat corruption exists under tho
present administration, und said that
that was oxactly what bo wished the
peoplo to understand ns to tho other
branch.' Mr. Morton's churgo that
this movement was an attack on tho
Republican party was nut tnio. Ilo
(Tipton) miido no attack on tho Ro
publican party. On tho contrary, ho
desired to redeem that parly from tho
curse that hud enmo upon it through
tho mistakes of tho administration
and tho corruption of its olticiaU. lie
believed that there was

motives of those who sought to revive

Without being accused of unfaith

try under whom tho Republicans

tor Irom lndiuna (Mr. Morton) bad
boasted that it was a distinguished
mark of the Republican party, Ihut it
was prompt lo punish wrongdoers
among its members. He (Tipton) bad
onco believed so und had acted upon
that belief, but ho had been proscribed
and punished for it ever since.
UltASl'e) TOADJtS TOO SIRONfl.
Mr. Trumbull's amendment was
rejected by a volo of 24 ayes to 85
nays.
Tho following Republicans voted
for it :
Messrs. Alcorn, Fenton, Logan,
Patterson, Robertson, Sch urx.Sti inner,
Tipton, Trumbull, West and Wilson.
Tho original resolution was then
adopted.
Mr. TituMm-Lt then movod to in
struct tho committee to provide in the
resolution just adopted In inquire into
all subjects cnnmeraled in Inn rejected
amendment, and made a few remarks.
He denied that ho had done, or pro
posed, or said anything hotilo to Ihe
administration or tho Republican
party.
HE WAS ABTOtJNDl.D
at tho ground taken by certain Sena
ators iu this debate. Ho wus hostile
to nono who wcro not dishonest nnd
corrupt, and would uy Scnutor un
dertake In say that the adiniiiistr.ilion
or party did nol desiro honesty in the
government: tno rrcsnieni una iio

Mr. MoiiTon said that drift of tho
debate wus a reflection upon the Re
publican party and an insinuation that
jl wns corrupt.
Mr. Tiit'Miicn Ilnyo I over said
or intended that 7
Mr. Morton replied Hint from llio

ho was 'lad now to find thut ho did

AN INCREASE IN ABUSE ALSO.
Ho had not said, however, that more
corruption existed under this than un
der previous administrations, but then
he wished this administration to be
bettor thnn all its predecessors, nnd
the Republican porty to bo purer than
others.
Mr. Morton I am glad to boar the
Senator declare bis devotion to llio
Uepublicnn pari)', but I did under
stund tho spirit of bis speeches to be
different. However, I accept his
statement of bis position. Now as to
this question of reform there teems
to bo n disposition on tho part of some
pcoplo in this country to becomo pro
fessional REFORMERS PAR EXCELLENCE.
They seem to desiro to monopolize
I hill business und to set themselves
up as the only mon who halo corrop

gontlomcn, whouver they may be,
that for ono I shull not ullow them to
monopolize thiil business. I claim to
bo as good n reformer as any nf them,
ullhough I don't make such high pre
tensions. Mr. Tac.MBULL said that Mr. Mor
ton was extremely kind lo accept Ids
statement, but he declined to answer
him (Mr. Morton) "for bis Republi
canism," and denied bis right to call
him to account. Thut Senutor (Mr.
Morton) claimed to bo a reformer, but
he bud
A GREAT WAY OF SHOWINa IT.
Not long ago in u speech ut St. Louis
he bud eulogized the civil service as it
stands nt present.
Mr. Morton remarked thut in that
speech ho bad said of tho civil service
that while there were many reforms
and improvements which could bo
made iu il, and which the Republican
party would make, ho did belicvo that
on Ihe wholo we had the beet civil
service in the world, und ho did say
tho same now.
Mr. Trumbull Well, if there is
anywhere in tho world u worse civil

I pray God to deliver that people from
it. Laughter 1 feci less disposed
