OFFICE HUNTING.
The debate in the Senate yesterday, in refe
rence to appointments to office, brought up a
subject which needs just such a ventilation.
The discussion took a wide range, and
brought out the most diverse views from the
Senators whospoke. While Mr. Trumbull
pointed out the growing evil which has trans
formed Senators and Congressmen into mere
solicitors for office, in the ante-rooms of the
Departments, Mr. Cameron growled and
scolded because his solicitorship had been so
unsuccessful. These two positions represent
the extremes of opinion in the Senate upon
this important Bubjeet.
It is time that there was a thorough reform
In the present relations of Senators and Con
grcßsmen to the appointing power of the
Government. Tbo country has been much
exercised, during the last few years, on the
subject of “Rings;” bnt it is only now that
attention has begun to turn toward a Ring
system whose business it is to distribute
Government patronage, not, in most cases,
as is commonly said, to reward a Senator’s
or a Congressman's friend, but to set up a
combination whioh shall be useful and avail
able for the future political purposes of the
aforesaid Senator or Congressman. This is
the ultimate object in most cases, and the
result Is that, instead of urging the appoint
ments of the best men, soliciting Senator®
. give their preferences to those who will serve
them best.
This evil baa grown np, year allor year,
until what was formerly conceded to Hena
tors and Congressmen as a courtesy, is now
boldly claimed as a right. It is a common
thing, in most of the States, for Senators, and
especially Congressmen, to demand the abso
lute light to dictate to the President who shall
or shall not hold office in the several dis
tricts. The result is, inevitably, a “King,’’
and all sorts ot trades and barters are carried
od, to portion out the patronage among the
members o£ Congress, who are certainly not
elected for any such purpose.
The whole system is wrong. It is full of
mischief to the public service. It is full or
danger to the members of Congress, the m
selves. It is opposed to the spirit of our Re
publican institutions. It is utterly foreign to
the business and proper responsibility of the
people’s national representatives. It is mis
chievouS to the public service, because it de
moralizes the confirming power of the Senate
and puts many improper men into office. It
is dangerous to the. members of Congress, be
cause it organizes more opposition to than sup
port for them,making twenty enemies for each
friend. It is anU-Republican because it vests
an unconstitutional power in the hands of
Congress. It is foreign to the legitimate
functions of Congressmen and Senators, for
they are not sent to Washington to control
the President of the United Btate3 in the dis
tribntion of offices, except in the discharge
of the Senate’s duty to “advise and con
sent.” That members of Congress may pro
perly attend to the business of their con
.stituents so far as to present their petitions
for office, or to recommend them,
.if their applications are suitable,
is unquestionable. But that they shall dc
maiid -that no appointments shall he made
-except at their dictation, is an invention of
these modern limes that quickly returns to
.plague its inventors. This demand is freely
And openly insisted on,and yet it will certaln-
Jy be repudiated by the people. Not only is
It applied to the securing new appointments,
■but to the prevention of the President’s policy
in removing bad men from office. Some of
the most objectionable office- holders in this
State, for example, arc being kept in their
fat places hy the will of single Congressmen,
impudently claiming to hold the power of
the 'keys in their respective districts. It ia
time the system was broken up,and its venti
lalion in the Senate, yesterday, is the pro
cursor .of a restoration of a better order ci
things.
ftJSAAXOJUXAX. DIONIVK.
Senator Cameron made a most extraordi
nary speech in lhe Senate, which will be read
with a feeling of deep mortification through
out this Stale. It is a strange medley, made
up of humiliating confessions of the loss of
bis personal influence ia Washington, of bit
ter abuee of nominations which were made
Without his permission, of marvellous asser
itipns .with regard to his share in theTiuut f jr
Oifllce, that will amaze all who read it. Mr.
'Gwnerpb tellß the country that twenty
/ yeata ago, he never had to call cm
/ - the President for office. Then the
Piesl<J®it.sent for him and consulted him
Now he affirms that “no appointments have
been made' to gratify him, or of those whom
he bad recommended.'* "'Whether this state
ment is severely true will be -best decided by
those who know What Ware Mr. Cameron
has had ihhs far in . the. applications of sno
cesslal office-seekers. There is certainly a
very general impression that, while the Sena
tor has undoubtedly failed in mhking many
of bis points, he jias succeeded in carrying
enough of them to warrant aTlight'qualifica
tion of this broad assertion.
But what.has caused." tbe\chapge to these
twenty years ? Why is the Senator's tofto*
enco so much depreciated ? Why has he de
scended from the high position of confidential
advleer of Presidents Taylor and Fillmore to
that of a disappointed suitor of President
Grant ? History must answer the questions
which Mr. Cameron puts into the people s
mqijth.
Bnt uf all the extraordinary features of this
extraordinary speech, none are so wretch
edly bad as the violent assault upon the per
sonal characters of two of the reedht ap
pointees. One of these assaults charges, the
President with appointing a “constitutional
druikard” as Minister to Ecuador. From
the best knowledge at our command, we have
no hesitation in saying that we believe this
charge to be grossly nntrne. Bdna’o r
Cameron's opposition to General Russell was
because he was an intimate personal and
political friend of Governor Curtin’s and, pro
bably, for nothing else. What the pre
cise signification, of the phrase “constitutional
drunkard” is in Mr. Cameron’s dictionary we
do not know; but it is very certain that the
Senator has not exerted his influence to the
extent which he might have done, to put
down “constitutional drnnkonness” in the
body of which he has been a member for so
many years.
In the other case, Mr. Cameron makes an
assault upon the President for appointing a
“constitutional thief ” to a foreign consulate,
and the assault falls,by necessary implication,
upon the gentlemen who recommonded that
appointment. Mr. Cameron takßß the ground
that if the Senators had been consulted, this
appointment would not have peep. made.
And yet, if Mr. Cameron does.,not know it,
he ought to know that the crime to whi eh he
refers was not discovered by the most inti
mate associates of the accused person until
after his appointment, and that the revooal of
his commission was instantly demanded and
procured by them. .These charges of the
Pennsylvania Senator upon respectable citi
zens of his own State are unworthy of his
high position, and we deeply regret that such
an intemperate, unjust and undignified
harangue should have gone on the record of
the Senate.
THE CHILDHEH’S HOSPITAL.
AmoDg all the charities of Philadelphia
there is none lhat is so comprehensive in its
appeal to public sympathy as the Children’s
Hospital. The blind, the halt, the maimed,
the old, the poor, the destitute, all have their
friends and supporters; but the sick child ap
peals to all classes, ages and conditions of the
community. The Children’s Hospital of
Philadelphia is, we believe, the only distinctive
charity of the kind in the United States, and
during the short period of its existence it has
given ample demonstration of the necessity
for its establishment and of the excellence of
its management. Its usefulness is only limited
by the extent to which the good
people of Philadelphia second tho noble ef ■
forts of the gentlemen and ladies who have
devoted so much time and labor to this most
admirable work. The neat Hospital building
on Twenty-second street, below .Walout
street, is a model of good order, wise admin
ministration and perfect adaptation to its im
portant ends, and its Managers, never weary
in well-doing, deserve, at all times, the most
generonß encouragement from the people at
large. They are taking care of tne little
children and should therefore be -taken care
of themselves.
The Managers of the Children’s Hospital
offer fin attractive opportunity to the public,
>n the very beautiful Water-Color Exhibition,
which opens to-day, at the galleries of the
Artists’ Find Society, 1831 Chestnut sfteet.
Particulars of this exhibition will' be found
in the art department of to- dayts paper, and
we trust that the rooms of the Society will be
crowded during the exhibition with those
who desire to eDjoy this rare display of flue
water-color paintings, and at the same time
to aid in its worthy object, by contributing
funds to the care of the little sufferers in the
Children’s Hospital.
The Evknino Lim.i.ijtin has made no
allusion to a scandal in Philadelphia
lociely, which has now become notorious
through what has seemed to us the ia
considerate action of otner newspapers, and
still more by Senator Cameron’s speech yes
terday. We only reier to it now, because
the Age has taken it up for the manufacture,
of political capital, it. a way uot very credit
able to the fairness or g. md-taste of our
neighbor. We simply desire to deny that
Mr. Coxe was a director of the Union
League, and to say that bis resignation from
that body followed immediately upon the
discovery of the transactions of which he
is accuftd.
George W. Childs, Esq., of the Ledger,
\ accompanied by Mrs. Childs and Mr. and
. Mrs. It. E. Peterson, arrived at New York
laßl night in the steamer Russia, from Liver
, pool, and probably will be in their o-wn

warmly welcomed by their numerous friends.

she was held against her will The defence denied
this, and. In addiiiou to good character, U whh *h »wn
Ih'Sftßc nefimdant bud every reason to believe »h.v he
had selected the i tght tooth, and he denied that ho

At the close of this .fudge Brewster, in conse

Judge Brewster—Will the personalty cover the
amount of tho judgment?
Deputy Bber.ff—ll the personalty Is exhausted, I
think the real estate is amply sufficient to meet the
claim. _
Judge Brewster then directed the officer to proceed

The officer further stated that ho had placed a watch*
man in charge of the premises, aud would have placed
tho bills on the premises before, bat for the lllneas of

Washington, April 22.—Considerable crotvd?
of CoipnfFnjen were nt Ibe White House and
lbo vnriooß dt perlments this forenoon, brinelng
np arn artpes of business preparatory to leaving
ibe capital. A few periltlclons office-seekers,
tbe last of tbe vast army which arrived In the
early days of March, -ere also craving nndience
of tbe President or bis Seeretasles. War. A.
Howard, the new Minister to China, was among
tbe callers on tbe President.
Tbe preparation of tbe list of clerks to be re
moved Is still going on In tbe departments,
though they are not yet sufficiently complete to
indicate bow nnmerotm tbe removals will, be.
It is estimated from 600 to 600 will be removed
from tbe Treasury Department alone within the
nest month., ■ .
Tbe best opinion among Senators Is that their
session will last tbrongb tho most of to-nlgbtand
until to-morrow noon. There Is a considerable
disposition to improve tbe last opportunities to
make speeches. Mr. Nye claimed tbe floor when
tbe Senate met to-day for his personal explan t
tion, Iho provocation being the words ‘’har
lrqnln” and ‘‘charlatan,” applied to btm
by Senator Sprague. Tnls sarcastic
and bnmorona effort was to have been delivered
some days since, and some objection was modo
to bavlsg It until some of the more necessary
bnsinfss should be disposed of. It is tbongbt
probable that some oi those nominations most
objectionable to tbe (Senators will be left un
acted on.
The Hale-Perry Corrcipondeuco.
Washington, April 22.—. James R. Young, cor
respondent of the New York Tributts, and H. J.
Ramsdell and W. B. Sbnw. also press correspond

They were severally interrogated as to tbe source
whence they derived a copy qf tbe confidential
Hale and Perry correspondence, whether it was
forftisbed by aDy Senator, <fcc. These gentlemen
respectfully declined to answer tbe questions on
tbe ground that they always held confidential
communications to them to be In v!olah!e.and that
to give ibe name of those who privately imparted
Information to them lor tbe press would be a
breach of honor, besides injuring them In their
bnstmss pursuits. Tbe committee will report
ihe n salt of tbeir investigation to the Senate in
