It is a curious fact that offices under the Federal- Government, which are generally sought after with so much avidity, are now going-a-begging, and they are to be had for the asking. Curi ously, too, the stronger the applicant is in respect to a Republican record, the more welcome he is to a Copperhead administration, and while a deaf ear is turned to the hungry Democrat who craves a few fishes or a loaf or two, the Republican is received with wreathed smiles and cordially welcomed to the Johnsonized fold. And all this is going on in our own city, while Republican heads are drop ping into the basket daily, for no other , sin than that they are Republican heads. The Internal Revenue Department chops off 1 the head of Republican John Smith and begs Republican John Jones to come and partake of a mess of Treasury pot tage; the Custom House kicks out every Republican deputy, clerk, inspec tor or watchman who is not willing to sell out his manhood,and it throws open its marble halls to any Republican who can come furnished with the necessary “open Sesame,” which will cause the ponderous gates to swing smoothly and gently upon their hinges. The Post Office and the Mint court the Republican outcasts from the Cus tom House and the Internal Revenue Department, and the Internal Revenue Department tenderly beseech thehead- Jess victims of Custom House and Post office proscription to come to their arms, be re-headed and restored to place and profit. Now, this seems to involve a paradox but it is susceptible of a very easy solu , tion. The Post-office, the Custom House, the Mint, and all the rest of them, desire to be confirmed by the Se nate, and as the look-out is rather a dis mal one for them, they are prepared to barter away officesfor Republican Sena torial votes.: It is notorious that scores of federal offices have been offered to strong Republicans on the sole condition that the parties would obtain letters of recommendation from this or that Re publican Senator. “Just a line from be., Mr - Cattell will do the business for Lonn? u ;” “ A letter from Mr. Fes- EigP*uden and the place is yours,” o r few words from Mr. Wade, and I give you any office in my gift” “Wfese are the tempting baits held out to Senatorial votes in Executive Jnxuf session; but they are not bit at. Messrs. Fessenden, Wade, Gatteli and the other Republican Senators, are not quite ready to commit themselves to Johnson ism on these terms, and we have not thus far heard of any instance where the bait has been swallowed and the hook fixed in Senatorial gills. The Custom House, the Post-office, the Mint and the Internal revenue department might as wellmake up their minds to diedecently. Republican Senators are notin the mar ket, the new dodge will not answer,and REJECTION looms up in unmistake able characters to fright the souls of fear ful office-holders. A JUDICIAJC. IDEA OF PEACE AND Iu one of the cases on trial last week, touching the right of conductors on city railways to kick females off platforms because their skins are dark, and to take them prisoners to railway depots for the purpose “slashing and whiter washing them,” Mr, Justice Thompson announced a most extraordinary dis covery that he had made. The learned Judge spoke as follows: 11 11 11 “There may be a question to exoite th® community, but this most unfortunate agitation results in no good. The colored people have been living in Philadelphia from its foundation until recently, comfort ably and peaceably, and this agitation can now do no good.” From the foundation of the city until the’year 1780, colored persons were held as slaves in Philadelphia, and even then only the gradual abolition of slavery was decreed, The newspapers of the last century are full of advertisements of sales ofsiaves to take place at the “Old London Cofiee House,” and other cen tral places where the auctioneer’s block used to be put up. This condition of things must have contributed greatly to the comfort and peacefulness of the “negro wenches,” who had got over the small-pox, and who had young infants at their breasts, and who could be had for cash by the highest bidder. The “stout negro man twenty-five years of age, a good blacksmith, and a faithful servant,” must also have been greatly comforted when he was put up to be knocked down to any Legree who might choose to make the highest bid for him. Wonder how Mr. Justice Thompson would ,relish such “comfortable and peaceable living” if he had flourished in those days, and had been bom with a dark skin! And then, in the present century, after slavery had been got rid of, and the auctioneer’s slave-block no longer disgraced the city, the emancipated race enjoyed such “comfort and peace” as were involved in an extilnsion from the ordinary rights of citizenship; in social degradation; in exclusion from ordinary trades and professions, not because of a lack of capacity to fill them, but through prejudice; in being made the victims of the barbarous brutalities of the vilest class of whites, on any, or no provoca tion, and now at the present time, being not only denied the privilege of riding in a public conveyance, which is enjoyed by any brute or blackguard who chooses to enter it, provided his skin is white, but also compelled to suffer the most wicked cruelties at the hands of coarse conductors and drivers. There can scarcely be a doubt that Mr. Justice Thempson would hugely enjoy this description of “comfc .nd peace,” were he compelled to go through the ordeal that the colored race in Philadel phia have gone through during the past seventy years. He would of course be the Mark Tapley in his own case thathe thinks each of the poor blacks ought to be, and be “jolly” under anyand all cir cumstances. He would make a capital St. Lawrence, and esteem his gridiron and hot coals a most luxurious arrange ment, and one eminently calculated to promote “peace and comfort.” The Democratic party have been taken with one of tiieir periodical spasmodic fits of celebrating the Eighth of January. In the city of . Washington they are already moving in the matter, and a committee, consisting of the following named eminent patriots, has been ap pointed to see to things: Jonah D. Hoo ver, Charles Mason, Samuel J. Randall, Cornelius Wendell, James G. Berretfc, and Thomas B. Florence. The authori tative announcement of this feet seta forth as follows: “We have no doubt that hundreds of De mocrats and Conservative men from all the adjoining States will unite with their brethren of the District of Columbia in commemorating the fame of Andrew Jack son, and drawing from his history fresh in centives to strengthen them in the work now before the friends of constitutional liberty in this nation. .The Democratic party sus tained Andrew Jackson in 1832, and they will uphold and sustain any man at this crisis who will, like him, declare the “Union must and shall be preserved.” About the year 1832 there was no need of much agitation to get up first class celebrations of the anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans. The hero of that achipment was President of the United States, and as dispenser of offi cial bread and butter he was a personage to be flattered and honored. The most convenient way of doing this was to get up grand jollifications in honor of his victory over Paken ham and his Britishers at New Orleans. Those who enjoyed Federal “pap, ” showed at once their loyalty to head-quarters, and their appreciation of the good things which they possessed, by drinking copious whisky, and toast ing General Jacksonmost extravagantly; while the “outs” who, with an eye of .faith looked forward to the “substance of things hoped for,” evinced a sort of hungry and anticipatory gratitude by striving to out-drink and out-toast the “ins.” There 'were lively Eighths of January in those halcyon days of the Democracy. But politicians are un grateful, and no sooner had President ’THE DAILY EVENlffg BULLETIN.—PHIL AD ELPHIA, THU IS DAY. DECEMBER 27.1866. COMFORT. THE EIGHTH OF JANUARY. Jackson dropped the cares of office, and retired to the shades of the Hermitage, than his old admirers, seeking after new and more available Gods, forgot all about the Battle of New Orleans, and the hero thereof. _; But it is a curious fact that whenever the copperized democracy get themselves into very bad odor, they endeavor to blind people to their recent record by re viving the celebrations of the Eighth of January, and as they were never in worse repute than at present, there is peculiar propriety in their celebrating the coming Eighth with unusual zeal. And now, lest Col. Florence, et al., should be short of toasts for the ap proaching festive occasion, their atten tion is respectfully directed to the printed proceedings of the Democracy of Philadelphia on the Eighth of Jan uary, 1833, the year after the Nullifica tion Proclamation was issued. They will find therein published a list of toasts from which we cull, almost at random,a few that read very oddly in view of the recent record of the Democracy. They are submitted for the benefit of all De mocrats who propose to celebrate the approaching Eighth. “The Worthy and the Just—They will now show their love of all mankind by up holding Republican principles and Institu tions, versus Nullifiers and Seceders”—The Union must and shall be preserved.” “The day that General Jackson nullified the British at New Orleans. May he put dowQ the Nullifiers of the South withoutthe aid of cotton-bales or fire arms.” “South Carolina—While we remember the gallantry of her former achievements, and the ardor of her early patriotism, we cannot hut pity her present position. Let her beware, however, that by farther rebel lion she does not change mildness into wrath, and force üb, not merely to condemn her treason, but to punisb her traitors.” “Democracy—lt reoognizes no such rights as those which are claimed and usurped by the heated Hotspurs of the South; its prin ciples are immutable and universal; they may he checked but they cannot be changed.” “Nullification is vexation. Calhoun, is twice as bad. Hamilton he vexes me, And Hayne he sets me mad.” . “ United States hempfor Traitors, powder and ball for good Soldiers; the Union mast and Bhall be preserved, in defiance of all Nullifiers.” “ Slavery—Though millions in all ages have been doomed to taste of thee, still thon art a bitter draught. May the surplus revenue of the United States be so applied as that every vestige of this vile blur shall be wiped from our national escutcheon by the gradual abolition of Slavery, and the colonization of the free blacks.” There are very many more of like tenor; but the above will serve as sped* mens. Our old files are at the service of any respectable pemocratic “Committee on Toasts” who desire to show how lit tle the Democracy of 186 S is like the same party in 1833.
