POLITICAL I NDE PE N DEXCE.
If there is anything meaner, than
an unreasoning compliknce with
every demand of party, whether
right or wrong, it is the so-called In
dependence of men who arrays4is
pute the morality of a party measure,
and seek to found a reputation for
. honesty by -charging corruption upon
the organization which has their
nominal 3upport. No man should he
censured ,for an honest refusal to sup'
• - ,
port a party measure or nininee that
he considers bad ; but no'inan - who
is a member of a party, it he joined
it froth principle. and, not from hope
of spoils, .will assume that every ac
tion of the party is influenced by
selfishness, or that every candidate
who is not his candidate . is ;unfit for
That there is a class of men grow
ing up, in Pennsylvania, led by Chas.
S. Wolfe, and 'represented by the
Philadelphia Times, who are assum
ing an independence that:shows itself
by a Perpetual snarl at men in power,
and at the measures enacted by legis
lators and party managers of both
parties, is evident. The men in this
class are not very numerous : or im
portant, but their influence is bad
and many times unsettl s men who
ought to be above the ach of their
illogical arguments. T ey do some
harm to both parties ' constantly
abusing and belittling their men and
measures ; and never, or almost new
do any good. These men znatur _
•allydivide into two classes,one being
political soreheads,the other politi
cal skeptics. The men of the first
clasi are disappointed office seekers
whose self estimated importance has
not been recognized by their party;
and they therefore find fault with the
men who have been more fortenate,and
condemn the laws and enactments of
the party that gave the spoils they
sought to some other men.- The
second class is composed of men who
are born to find fault; and whothink
everything is either wrong in itself
or the result of selfishness or some
other equally reprehensible motive.
They are , men who are perpetually
dissatisfied and who have no 'confi
dence in the - honesty of . any profes
sion, whether in business, politics or
religion. No matter lovi noble an
4, .
act may be, nor how" unselfish the
motive which inspired ii 4 these men
with preternatural insight will _dis
cover a latent sinfulness behind all
which shill darken the actor and
:
mark him: as unworthy. Nothing is
good t them ; but pqvading every
human act is a. stain of selfishness
and wiekednesss that repels purity
and sets the seal of infamy upon the
deed. In politics these skeptics show
,their philosophy by their unceasing
fault finding, and by lond-mouthed
protestations of independence. Noth
ing is so grand, so manly, so inde
pendent as to cry down a party nom =
inee and by diligent search to: find
out something in his , political or do.

the record made by' these men and

measure, or worked for a worthy ob.

attacked everything, and with cyni

ness, selfishness and , political ambi-

they have preached the unworthiness
which is, without, showing how it
may be changed, then mark them as
unsafe guides for: men, as critics not
leaders.
We yield ta _ none iu admiration of
manly independence which will not
yield principle to party dictation ;
but we do not confuse this with the
sham independence which thinks
every' scratched ticket is indisputable
evidence of freedom from base party
influence. Working for a party and
cordially supporth4 its nominees is
always right-when Ice I::selieve in its
principles, and trust / the- men who
have been nominated - , and cheap _talk
about independence ought not to af
fect us. If voters will be earnest
rind manly in the support of the par
ty which 'best represents them ; if
they will have the courage to decide
between the , prinerplei professed by
the antagOnistic organizations, and
then stippot those they believe to
be right; the,..sham independence of
self-constituted leaders will fail, as
anything so false and unmanly de
serves to fail. Be independent ; but
Ibe frank and manly in the support
, .
of some principle, and remember po
litical skepticism is worse than party
subserviency. Any faith is i • better
than.none, and that man is worthier
who supports a wrong party measure
because of blind trust to his party's
honesty, than he who sneers at all
and repudiates all, because he de
sires to be called an independent.
Do not be deceived by specious titles,
but look to the principles that under

MR. CONKLINO TO TUR PRESIDENT.
NAV YORK, March 3d.
Mr. President.: Absence prevent
ed the prompt acknowledgment of
your— two esteemed letters, which
were found here awaiting my return
from Utica. The high and unex
pected honor you proffer by select
ing me. as Associate Judge of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
is greatly valued. It will ever be a
matter of pride, and satisfaction that
you and the Senate deemed me St
for so grave and exalted ~a trust.
But for reasons you would not fail
to. appreciate, 1 am constrained to
decline. Although urgent demands
on my. time, Jura now, prevent my
accepting your cordial invitation to
pass a few days with you in Wash
ington, let me hold this as a pleas
ure deferred but not lost. I have
the honor to be, sincerely, your obe
dient servant, Roscor. CONKLINU.

BENATqa - EDMUNDS To THE PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON. Mt►ra' 6.
Mr. President : I have received
through the Secretary of State, your
very flattering offer of the appoint
ment as. Associate Judge of the Su
preme Court. I thank you sincere
ly for this highly valued 'proof of
your good opinion, but I feel for
reasons that I have expiessed to
Secretary Frelinghuysen, that I
ought not accept it. I shill cherish
this mark of your kindness and good
opinion—though I do not need this
proof of it—as one of the most
pleasant of my Life.
I am, sir, very faithfully yours,
Oso. F. EDMUNDS.
The President
SENATOR EDMUNDS TO THE PRESIDENT.
141 Massachosetta Aveque, March 11.
Mr. President : lam deeply
touched at the manifest considera
tion you have shown me in con=
nocAlon with the Associate Judge
Justiceship, but further reflection
has not enabled me to change the
views I expressed to Secretary Fre
linghuysen. With the sincere hope
that you have experienced no em
barrassment from the delay your
kindness has.caused, I am faithfully
yowl, Gio. EDMUNDS
Great anxiety is felt among, the
thoughtful Republican member s :of
the Pennsylvania delegation as to
the - outcome of the Gubernatorial
contest in May. The decided drift
of opinion here is that Beaver will
win, but the politicians are vainly
striving; to overshadow the conse
quences that may follow his winning.
Independent Republicans who
would be glad to support Beaver,
should he receive the nomination in
a fair convention, says that he has
committed two mistakes that will
result to his disadvantage. - The
first is in ,
bis action at the Chicago
Convention, where he is _ charged
with misrepresenting his district
The second was in his coming to
Washington last winter after the
story was set afloat that at a confer
ence of Stalwart's he had been deci-r
ded upon as the nominee. There
was no such conference as reported,
but Beaver's action gave. color to
the story. "I - think Beaver is ahead
in the race," said a prominent Inde
pendent here to-day. "He is
known to the people of the
State, and has elements of
strength that no other candidate yet
named possesses. His nomination,
however„ depends upon the action of
the Philadelphia and Allegheny dele
gations. If both delegations should
be for him, his nomination is assur
ed, and if either ofl them are - at his
back I dpn't see how he can be beat.'
en. Ism . most , afraid of the action
of the . Reformers in Philadelphii:
The Committee of One Hundred is
determined') - to reform municipal
abuses, and their power is shown by
the recent municipal election. The
abuses they are seeking to weed out
can only be reached by legislative
action. A new charter foe Philadel
phia is *Anted, and there is no tie
mooring tbe*up of bi ll .for
1 a isew.eberter - WIT not be' op
proved by thillareroor. oo '

Among other guests was the " Shallithei

amusement with his alarm voice, al
though in a melodious form. The song
entitled "The Farm Well Tilled," was
loudly applauled ; also the solo and cha

scarcely five years of age, beautifully ren
dered. The programine was well sustain

Tuesday evening's social was held at
L. S. Wright's, where new features were
introduced. • The choir appeared as old
folks, dressed in ancient costuines; and
enterta'ned the company with selections
from old, time songs. A ragged negro
bearing the name of George Washington,
and a jolly Irishman with a shelalah and
a monstrous black eye did well at making
sport, while an elephant passed through
the rooms with a boy riding on his back
to the amusement of all. A boiler cover
was passed around and a good collection,
taken.
