Lancaster 2nteiligencer. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10,1870 The Elections. The Democracy have great cause to congratulate themselves on the results Of the recent elections. We have car ried the States of New York, Maryland, Delaware, Tennessee, Kentucky, Vir ginia, Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri and Nevada, and have greatly reduced the Radical majorities in the States which they yet hold. The only check we have received is In New Jersey, where, owing to dissensions among our friends, we have lost one member of Congress and we fear also the Legisla ture ; which will prevent us from mak ing a gain of one United Staten Senator to be elected .in place of Cattell, Repub lican. We have also lost a member of Congress In Minnesota, but this is owing to our having elected two years ago a Democrat in a very strong Radical dis trict where two Republican candidates were running. We gained on Tuesday one Congress man in Alabama, three in Illinois, one In Arkansas, one in Michigan, four in Missouri, four in New York, nix in Tennessee, one In each of the States of Florida, Nevada, Virginia and Wiscon sin. We estimate the Republican Majority in the next Congress at about twenty. They have lost the two-thirds majority v6dilelt they hold in the present House, H 9 that they cannot, hereafter, use the terrible power which it gave them, and which:they exercised sounjustlyand un generously. They would not have had the majority of the next House, if It were not for the Immense negro vote lu the late slave States, which elected their candidates for them. IL is this negro vote alone which has prevented the Democracy from obtaining the ma jority of the members of the next blouse of Representatives • which fart gives to while area the ilattCrillg 1(110W) edge that their National Legislation will, for two years, he shaped by the voice of the enfranchised Southern slaves; that ig norant and degraded body of :nen hold ing in their hands the balance of power between the Itepublican and Demo cratic parties. Our Radical friends have chosen to rest the foundation of their power on the negro slave vote, and for once it has not failed them ; but their power Is founded on sand, and they must take good heed lest the lick I negro slips from under their fabric and lute it tumble about their (qtrs.

INTEjw.IGENCER, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1870. Grant Rebuked. Washington telegrams intimate that the President Is " whistling to keep his courage up." They report that he "is satisfied with the result of the elec- Rona." The Philadelphia City Item, Radical, says if this Is so, " he is easily pleased; one more trial and he will find himself in a minority." Grant Is wel come to all the satisfaction and comfort which he, or his friends for him, can ex tract out of the verdict which has been rendered by the people this fall upon his administration. He has been terri bly rebuked by them. The Democracy have made gains of Congressmen in nearly every State ; and in the three States in regard to which the President was especially solici tous, and where he used all the patronage at his disposal and all the sol diers at his command, to bribe and in timidate the people into electing his candidates, he has been overwhelming ly defeated. The great State of New York has re-elected the Democratic Governor by 35,000 majority, and has elected sixteen Democratic to fifteen Republican Congressmen, a Democratic gain of four. in New York city, into which five thousand United States sol diers were poured, and ten thousand United States Marshals and Supervi sors were employed to control the elec tion in favor of the Republican candi dates, not a single Republican has been I elected. The Democratic Governor, Mayor and all the Congressmen receiv ed crushing majorities; indeed the Re publicans were so disastrously defeated, that they are crying out that they were cheated notwithstanding the extraor dinary efforts made in their behalf by the national government. A smaller vote was polled in the city than at the last election, but the significant fact about it is that the Republican vote and the Democratic vote both fell ofr in the sums proportion—each about twenty five per cent; indicating that If the vote was increased at former elections by fraudulent repeating, the Radicals did as much of it in proportion as the Dem oerats. .Maryland was another State which Grant was very anxious to carry, and into which, to gain his end, he did not scruple to send his soldiers. His Post master General, Cresswell, had greatly raised his hopes in regard to Radical successes there, and had promised him t he * election of at least two Congressmen. But the Democracy in spite of the sol diers, the negroem and the government patronage, have been successful in every District, returning a solid Democratic delegation to Congress. Missouri was the third State in which Grant strove to exercise his power to secure the election of his Radical friends, awl where he has met a Waterloo. B. :raiz Brown was runuiugasaConserva iive Republican candidate against the Radical nominee : , .IcClurg, who is the present Governor. ;rant declared in vor of :%leClurg and removed the foiled States °lnce-holders In Missouri who supported Brown. The latter bit terly denounced the course of the Presi dent on the stump, and defiantly de claring that he cared nothing for him or his patronage, he made the enfranchis•- ment of the rebels and opposition to the State and National Governments to be the issues of the campaign and being supported by the Democracy, he was triumphantly elected by forty thousand majority. More than this, but three friends of the President were elect- NI to Congress out of the delegation of nine; awl only two out of seventeen members of the State Senate, and twen ty out of one hundred and eighteen members of the lower branch of the State Legislature. There never WlO3 a more overwhelming defeat of a party in any State than has been this one which the Radicals have not with in Missouri; and a national administra tion has never shown itself to he SO eulously weak and powerless as has I;r:tilt's in its ellbrt to carry Missouri. Truly a nuau who can derive satisfac tion from the contemplation of results of his political labors, such as those which have :merited in this political campaign to the eflbrts of President trust, Most have a very easy digestion awl a soul which is callous to the sever e-t rebuffs. The Water Committee \ learn that the Water Conunitive of ('ity (..ma,ils, at. their I:tst meeting, renioved Joseph \let ire , the engineer al the \Vater Worl:s,and appointed in his stead Taylor Schuler. I ticompeteney, we understand, was the reason assigned by the ttee for the removal.— \"Pek after week . and month aft erinorith :luring the last year, while our citizens were absolutely suffering for want of watr, we urged upon the ( 'tint tnittee the necessity of making /I change in the management of the Water \Yorks. \N'e pointed to the empty reservoirs, and elffirgol that the Superintetulent and Engineer were incompetent. We ex posed the ignorant thil:ering and ex travagiumen.f the Witter Connni ttee and appealed to them to resign and give place to competent and energetic nien. Our appeals tenrc met by VeIIOIIIMIS vi (Alper ittimi front the organ of the jobbers and inoinipetents, and its columns teemed with fulsome praise of the ( \imniittee and abuse of us. At last the Committee has acted upon one of our suggestions—and the engin eer has been discharged ! But, instead of discharging him lissom' as his incom petency was discovered, he was retain ed until after the election, and only three weeks ago re-elected for an other year! And now, when the new wheel and pump are said to be almost completed, and when, if the Committee are to be believed, we will soon have the city flooded with an abundance of water, the pet engineer is summarily dismissed to make room for a new man ! Why is this? Does the Committee at last ac knowledge the justice of our strictures on the incapacity of Mr. Met kdre ? or does it doubt the practicability of the recent improvements, and prefer inau gurating them under a new engineer ; and thus, in case the works fail to ac complish what has been promised, the Committee call take refuge behind the inexperience of their employee? It would lie a matter of public inter• est to know what greater evidence of incapacity Mr. Melluie has given sine,' his re-election as engineer, three weeks ago, than he gave previously. True, there is very little water in the reser voirs—not more than a foot in the east and three or four feet in the west—but, that has been the case during the entire season ; and it would seem to he unfair in the Committee to discharge their en gineer so soon after his re-election, for keeping the water as /ow as lie kept it before. We know nothing of the qualiticatkons of Taylor 1,. Schuler, the appointee, as a practical machinist and engineer. We are informed that he has been working for sonic time past for the Water Com mittee as a tender to the masons—u po sition not often sought by an accom plished engineer. One thing, however, is certain ; lie cannot manage much worse than his predecessor, and may do much better. All the citizens want in the matter is water, and plenty of it at all times and under all circumstances, and they care very little how or by whom it is pumped into the reservoirs. 'lnt: York True Democrat, which pro fesses to be the Radical organ of York County, hoists its spread eagle and re loices over the November elections. It is the only Republican newspaper in Pennsylvania which professes to be sat isfied with the result ; and we can only account for its course when we remem ber that the writing and managing edi tor of the concern is a true Democrat, of somewhat erratic character. He felt like rejoicing, and he did it in a way that must have seemed very strange to the eyes of the Radical readers of the True Democrat. The New York Democracy The New York World thinks that the Democracy of the wintry will look to the New York Democracy to lead them in their coming political contests, and claims that they should concede to the Democratic leaders of New York the shaping of the issues upon which our future National contests shall be fought. The World finds its reason for this claim in the success of the Democracy in carrying New York. That we may not do injustice to the modesty of our cotemporary, we quote the following concluding paragraph of its double leaded leader of Wednesday last : The Democratic leaders of this State feel the full weight of the responsibility which rests upon them in consequence of this great victory. They are aware that the struggling Democracy of the States will look to New York for counsel, guidance, and example, and that the canvass of 187 a must, in its earlier and preliminary stages, be shaped by the Democracy of this State. This will come, not from any assumption on their part, but from the force of circum stances. The Democrats of this State form so large a proportion of the whole party that they are entitled to considerable weight by their mere num hers. The prestige of success brings an influence which cannot but be felt in the general counsels. In all politi cal movements some body of men must take the initiative, and the smaller States in which the Democracy have not yet been successful will be more inclined to follow with the party than to lead it. The volun tary deference which will be paid to the Democracy of New York clothes its lead ers with a moral authority, which makes their action of the utmost importance to the national HUCi:eB,l of the party. Oars is the type of Democracy that must suceeed,if the party triumphs in IN;'; and unless it is liberal, sagacious. progressive, looking to the emerging future instead of the decaying past, the country will not support us. The gushing tenderness with which the {Voile/ on the morn ing after the elec tion, thus takes the National Democ racy under the wing of that portion thereof residing in the State of New York, could readily enough be account ed for by attributing it to the natural excitement of the time; responsibility hardly attaches to one ' s words or acts MI election night, when the news is favor able. ("lion the World, however, the re sult of the election seems to have had a permanently exhilarating effect, for as late as Thursday, it permits itself to in dulge in the following extraordinary exhibition of self-complacency : We rwmeetfully ask the I ieumeraey of the country to bear witness to the iw't that in ew Pork we have tile secret of carrying elections, while in other States, where dif ferent ideas prevail, the party on every trial finds itself in a minority. We com mend the contrast to general attention as an instructive tail. While the Democracy of other States are rejoicing with us over the splendid triumph of Tuesday, we wish they would ask themselves whether a similar policy would not be for their advantage.-- Our policy in vindicated by its results. It bears the seal of stiecess. It vannot he that the Democracy of other Stairs prefer black Republivan domination a \Vashington to the New York typo 01 liberal, f/filt4l - 1,1- sive Demoeracy. We are profoundly eollVilleell that the actual choice, in the next Presidential election, lies between the two. In pulitirs, as in war, it is wise to flank it i.etlinuil that sauna be carrnsl in front. We have had too many battles after the pattern of Burnside's at tacks on Fredericksburg. The Denlf,r racy ,ir New York, having repeatedly shown thin they know how to manage , partyand Will victories at 11,1111 . , \Olen, their views are not overruled and have free play, feel entitled to the eon iidews.,and ark for the indulgent judgment, of their iJalriotic Dem ocratic brethren in other :States. If the New York lielliocravy had not been overruled we should certainly have carried the Presi dential electllill ill Inn, and probably in lout and Isle. If the party elsewhere will adopt our tacfies, and weigh oar adviee,we true no doubt that, with exertion enough, we can succeed in 1 0 71. These words of soberness are inspired by no other motive than unwillingness to see another great op portunity flung away. Even in the Ilush of victory we are saddenol by the thought that New York is still In Derma ratio 1 ;oslien in an outlying I:gypl of Black 11,10110liean ascendancy. \Ve may, p,vhap-• be permitted to re wind the that the "outlying Egypt , i= n o t -o very black, as it con tains the I)enmeratio Slates of It'll tticky, 'Felines:see, I)elaware, larylad, Arkansas, Florida, Alabama, (;eorgia, California, Oregon, Nevada, rth Carolina, Virginia, In and l'enn,ylvania Denio,ratn• vilf, the niajority east against Uti in our chief city, Philadelphia ; New York is Deniocrati, by ::o,non, Of the Demoviatin majority of ,50,000 in the lily of New York ; which way of looli ing at the relative Uctnocnu•v ol • Ili° two States, ~i 1111111.11,1 our votentliorary. 7 he Democratic ~tali- of Ne‘v lurk being entirely due to the heavy Demo eratic majority in New York City, th argument of the Ire,/ , /, if eorrdrt,n ul .I establish the propi-ition that the I 1,- intforatty of New York stale must eon \ sent to lie guided Ify the Helot iciatty the City; and ft, Ify Ihe,aine it has been shown that the Democracy of the nation should sulaffil to be led by that of the f-ttate of New York, it folltf\v, that the natural and proper rulers f 1 the Natiotml Den tocratty fat` lbc bailors or the : , ;,•w York r ity Democracy ; •tc,, I)." b u t which iS titte•liottel f rho", to whirls w o on the part of the Democra cy hereabouts beg leave lowlier our di , - sent.

They have as the ll'or/t/ boast , , " the ,ecret of carrying elec tions," but we have grave su-pieions for which we have the frochrq author ity that they are not ;my too scrupulous about their manner of carrying them. We have no confidence either in the dis interestethit•ss of the leaders of the New Yorl: Democracy; We find that the ninety thou , and I/contends of the City are led by the nose by a of !MI a dOlOll individuals, tube 111:11e a business and rotate themselves out or one rich ollitte into another still richer, acquiring in a few years infinenhe wealth. The mtolit,t of the Nest' York City officials, and even of thefludiciary, has often brought deep humiliation upon the Democracy or the country, and we are satisfied that the latter are in no temper to be guided or counseled by them. The advice the 11 . '04 gives our party, relative to its future course,is just what might be expected toemanate from New York city. It advises us to sacrifice honesty to expediency, and would have us concede or abandon the principles we have hitherto professed and take u p such positions only as are likely to bring us success. The National Democracy will not be likely to act on this advice ; it has never heretofore hesitated to express its honest opinions on the questions of the day, and will not be likely to do so here after. " 'Lead " issues, if there are any such, it of cour-o Will not Seek to revive. But the question is, "What are dead is sues?" The Wort./ probably thinks the Negro Suffrage question a dead is sue; but we apprehend that. the De mocracy generally think that it is one of the livest of live issues. We cannot agree with the World in ascribing the Democratic defeats in 181io, 'IA and 'ls to our failuie to take the advice of our New York friends.— We on the other hand have always thought that the New York delegation in 1860 in the Baltimore convention, were responsible for the disruption of our party; and that they occasioned it by obstinately insisting on furring Douglas on the minority, who declared their willingness to accept any other candidate but him. in 1864 it was through New York influence that Mc- Clellan was induced to irretrievably in jure himself by taking the wholly un warranted liberty of altering the Chicago platform ; and in ISIS, if New York had come to the assistance of Pennsylvania in the support of Hancock, the result of the campaign might have been dif ferent; but no, she purposely kept us sweltering in Tammany Hall, hoping that the time would come when Chase might be forced upon us. Till: Radical party is in the throes of dissolution. The Chicago Tribune comes out in a long article, advocating the for mation of a new party on the "Civil Service' , and " Revenue Reform" plat form. The Tribune has stood faithfully by the Radical party untilnow, but it is anxious to cut loose from Grant and the mass of political corruption and 'worn- petency by which he is surrounded. It is conjectured that Senator Trumbull, of Illinois, is identified with the pro posed new party movement. If the Radicals can not win as a unit, how can they expect to do so when divided The Pennsylvania Raßread Woodhull & Claflin's Weekly, publish ed in New York by the noted female bankers, in its last issue, contains an article which we republish to-day, se verely criticising the management of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The comments are in the main truthful and just; and it by no means detracts from their force that similar defects, and in some cases even more serious ones, exist in the management of the other great Railroads of the country. The Pennsyl vania Railroad is a magnificent work, which was started with great labor and has been fostered by the State with great care ; in its infancy the State anx iously protected its interests, and has a right to expect that, now, when the road has become self-sustaining and prosper ous, its managers will administer it with a zealous determination to advance the Interests of the State and its citizens, and not with a sole eye to their own en richment. It certainly has reason to expect that the road will carry freight for the citizens of the State as cheaply as it will for citizens of other States; that it will carry as passengers the peo ple of Pennsylvania as cheaply as it will those of Illinois; that it will give to the cities and towns of Pennsylva nia at least the same facilities to enable them to increase in wealth and trade and population, as it gives to the towns and cities outside of our State; and, chiefest of all, that it will not use the great wealth in its treasury to bribe our legislators and corrupt our people. Reasonable as are these expectations of ours, it is unnecessary to inform our readers that the Managers of the Penn sylvania Itaiiroad do not gratify them. We believe that if the road was con trolled by the stockholders who are sup posed to own it, the State would have no reason ,to, be dissatisfied with the manner in which they would requite their deep obligations to it But the stockholders in this, as in many of the other great railroads of the country, seem to be little else than de ferred bondholders, who get an annual interest of ten per cent on their stock, and the 011111fli of getting their principal back on the final liquidation of the road, if there is any money left after its mort gage and guaranteed obligations are sat isfied. The real owners of these great roads seem to he a clique of two or three men, who getting control of the treas ury of the road manage to secure the control of a majority of its stock and elect themselves and their complacent friends as Director.,. One would think that the stockholders who cannot but be aware that their money is earning twenty-five per cent per annum, would scarcely be satisfied to take ten per cent and permit their servants to sink the balance in getting control of other roads, and increasing their opportunities for fat profits in side operations. One would think, too, that they would ob ject to the cream of their freight trade going Into the pockets of their officers as owners of fast freight lines. But this perhaps is a matter between the Rail road officers and the Stockholders ; and it is no great concern of ours that the latter are 1.1..4 patient as lambs in the hands of those who fleece them. Most people who found their servants grow ing enormously rich in a few years on moderate salaries, would be apt to think that this enrichment was at their ex pense, and would seek to stop the leak ; but stockholders hr railroads seem to Le a class of people entirely ash frncris and disposed to be exceedingly generous to their employees. Our great cause of complaint with the I officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad is not that they have become rich, for that in itself is a laudable thing to do ; nor do we suppose that most people with their opportunities for amassing wealth would have been a whit more scrupulous about using them. But we do complain that these officers, in the management of their road, have not at heart the in terest of the State as they should have; that they discriminate against the pros yerity and trade of the Pennsylvania towns along: the line of their road and and of the great cities at its nominal termini ; that none of these obtain that advantage from the road which they are legit i mutely entitled to and which would IWcure t.l) 01011 front their sit uatiotn it. The city of Philadelphia is particularly entitled to consideration front the road, holding a large amount of its stock and having several repre sentatives in its Board of Directors. But of what avail in they to it? The city cannot even secure to itself the advant age of tieing the eastern Depot and point of transhipment of a great road front the West that nominally terminates within its limit?. The fact is it (hoes not ter minate there ; it runs around Philadel phia to NeW fork :Ind runs down from I larrislitirg to Baltimore with its freight; and now it is said, to still further cut the throat of Philadelphia, a road is to be built. from Parksiturg to Delaware city, a town in the state of Delaware. If the Pennsylvania Railroad, instead of seeking to steal the through trade of other roads from their eastern depots, would confine itself to its own eastern depot and expend its surplus energies and money in building through the rich valleys of Pennsylvania, branches to feed its main line, it would do far more good to the State that created it, and ulti mately far more to itself. Brant and Cox The President to-day sends to the country a corr.e had by him with Secretary Cox last slimmer in ref erenee to the Ict;arrahani claim and accompanies it with a statement in which he endeavors to show that Secreta ry Cox did not resign because Grant in terfered with his reforms in the Interior Department aria permitted the clerks to go home to vote, but because the resi dent would not cushion him in his posi tion in the McGarrahan case. rn:reply to this, if it needs any reply, it is sufficient to say that accord ing to Grants account he never replied to Secretary ('ox's letter of Au gust 2:l, nor did he advise him in any way that his course in the 'Met ;arrahan business was unsatisfactory to him ; but on the other blond Grant admits that he did countermand Secretary ('ox's order refusing to allow the clerks to go home to vote at the expense of the Govern ment, and this interference of the Presi dent it is naturally to be supposed, pro duced Secretary Cox's resignation. But what matters it what caused him to resign.' The damaging fact to the President is not the resignation of his Secretary, but the fact which has been made public by that resignation, that General Cox was endeavoring to effect a valuable reform in the administration of the Interior Department, and that the President baulked his effort. But if we take the President on his ground and judge between him and his Secretary, by their respective position as to the Mel iarrahan claim as it is re vealed in these letters, the President stands condemned. The position of the claim is very clearly stated in General Cox's letter, and its utter want of foun dation clearly shown. It has been de cided against by the Supreme Court and has no stronger basis in equity than it has in law. It is a fraudulent claim upon the government, which its projec tors, defeated in the courts, hope to bribe Congress into sanctioning. They are strong enough, according to PreAdent Grant's account, to be able to iniluce him to sacrifice his Eiegretary, wh9 4 r has aroused their hostility by hiSitnwpiing ness to aid them in the prosecution of their claim. li.ovode, on hearing of Cessna's defeat, is said to have exclaimed in startled ac cent—" igoddlemi ty !"; lc Bought With $4,030. The Examiner calls attention to an extract from a Harrisburg letter address ed to the editor of the Beaver Radical and published in the last issue of that paper. The Examiner invites tire Ex press to republish:the extract, which it thinks would be interesting to the read ers of that journal. We doubt whether the invitation will be accepted, as the letter contains a very serious and cir cumstantially narrated charge, directly impugning the integrity of the proprie tors of the E.rprose, and one, too, which we fear they cannot successfully refute. The extract reads as follows:: EfARIIISBCRO, OCt. P37(1. To Ow Editor of the Radtral: ilS••••• • i If he (Irwin) is anxious about promisso ry notes, ask him what was done with the proceeds of the 840,000 in Bank here, and why it ain't taken up. Also, what was done with the proceeds of his (Irwin's) note for $4,000, endorsed by Pearsol it Geist, and discounted by Dough erty & Bro., of this city, about the time of the last election of Irwin, and which is still unpaid. He must answer these questions when the Legislature meets. R. H. P. It will be seen that the correspondent charges that, at the time of the last election of Irwin as State Treasurer, in whose behalf the Express was warmly enlisted, Irwin gave his note for $4,000 to Pearsol & Geist, which they endorsed and had discounted at the banking house of Dougherty & Bro., in Harris burg, to which firm the Amount of the note has not yet been paid by Irwin. The intimation here is, of course, that the note was given to Pearsol S Geist as the consideration money of the bar gain in pursuance of which they sup ported Irwin for State Treasurer, and defended the action of the Lancaster county members who bolted the caucus nomination of Mackey the note being cashed by Dougherty & Bro. in consid eration of their receiving from Irwin a portion of the State funds on deposit. The reputation of the EXpre !,`, for the integrity of its management stands so low in this community that no one will find anything its the nature of this lust charge, terrible as it is, to make it in credible. Yet if it can be disproved we hope, for the credit of the journalism of this city, that it will be. It cannot be indifferently shoved aside as the mere invention of an enemy ; it is stated with fur too great particularity to enable those who are accused by it to escape from its stigma by ignoring it, or even by their unsupported den ial of it. The time when the note was given, the names of the drawers and endorsers, and of the bankers who cashed it, all being stated, and also the fact of the note being still unpaid and in existence. the Exprrss cannot say that the Beaver Radical does not make a sufficiently specific charge, or does not give it every opportunity to prove its statements to be false, if they really are so. It is possible that the accusation against our colemporary is malicious end unfound ed ; we hope that it is so, and that it will be able to show it ; for we would not like to think, for the credit of our craft, that the absolute want of journal istic Integrity which the truth of this charge would show, could be attributed to any of its members hereabouts. ;HAN r, a , conipanied his official re-Porter, ag.iu till travels, having arrived in Philadelphia this morning. llc can't make himself comfortable in IN'asliington for more t ban a few weeks at a time.

From the New Haven Palladium The following is the letter which has been presented to ox-Secretary Cox by the gen tlemen to whose meeting we recently refer red. It speaks for itself, and Its sentiments will, we believe, meet a hearty response throughout the country: SEW HAVEN, COllll., Nov. i, 1 , 70. lion. J. U. Cox. Sir:—As a public servant retiring from a most important office in the Government. of the United Sates you have a right to know whether your fellow-citizens approve the mariner of your trust, and your reasons for resigning it. We, therefore, as citizens of the United States, though must of us are personally unknown to you, may properly address you on the occasion of your retire ment from the place you have held in the National Government. For ourselves only, and not in any representative character, yet confident that We express the thought and feelingof thousands who,likeourselves, are habitually observant of public affairs, we say to you, well done! We approve most heartily the policy which you have labored to introduce into the Department of the Inte rior, and With the same heartiness we ap prove your determination to retire from that department when you found yourself obstructed in prosecuting the great refor mation to which you had committed your self. You carry with you in your retire ment from office the warm approval and the best wishes of thousands of patriotic men, who have no interest in polities other than their interest as citizens in the well being anti doing of the republic, In our judgment, noquestion now pending is more important to the future well-being and doing of the republic than the ques tion of that reffirmation Which yon have at tempted it, the Department of time Interior, and which ought to be carried uncompro misingly through the entire civil service of the country. 'rite ti uestion whether all offices in the gift of the President and of the heads of departments shall be distributed as 'spoils" by one partnership of men who trade in politics or by another—perhaps a little less corrupt and perhaps a little more —when it becomes, as it sometimes does become, the only question between two great political parties, is insignificant in comparison with the question whether the business of the Government shall be eon ducted on business principles, or on prin ciples which would bring any nbin to bank ruptcy in a This question of reforming the manner of appoint • moots and tine tenure .4 office in the civil service is really nothing less than the.pies- Lion whether the people shall be served or ruled—served by competent eXplila- Illitied men, nr ruled by party managers and political tricksters. The laying ~r ffifii•e-holders, enffireed by threats of dismissal Irian else than compelling men to purchase their offices with bribes.
