TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1877, Greenbacks, at tho New York Gold Ez- chango yesterday closed at 96§, Bouth Chicago has finally succeoded in got- ting a Collector with a color of right to the office, and one who will have the moral sup- port and good will of the community in his efforta to colloct the overdnoe and much- needed taxes. Mr, Kmuparn yesterdsy obe tained from the County Clerk the assessment books, and will at once enter upon his official duties. i Episcopalians will notice with gratification that the concluding portion of President Havzs' inangural address is a litorsl tran. scription from the Book of Common Prayer ; and Christinn people generally will bo plonsod ot this conspienons inclusion of * re. ligion nnd piety " among the things that the new President carnestly desires *“may be established nmong us forall gencrations.” e E—— Tho honors of knighthood scom to go a-begging nmong the Cannda Liberals. The Hon, Groror Brow:) editor of the Toronto Globe, and the Hon.

Our Washington advices this morning con- fivm the reports of tho previous day concern- ing tho Cabinet' selections of President Hares, nnd indicate with considerable posi. + tivenesd the sottlement of ot least five of the portfolios. It seems to bo generally admitted that tonders have beon made fo and nccopted by Mr. Evants, for the State Department; Mr. Snenyax, for the Treasury ; Mr, Bcnunz, for tho Interior; Mr. Kxy, for the Post- Office; aud Mr. McCrary, for tho Dopart- ment of Justico. The War and Navy poats aro a8 yel unassigned. The first stop was taken yostordoy toward an interchango of views and o thorough un. derstanding betweon the law-making power of the Btate and the grain-dealers and ship- pers relativo to the important question of grain inspection. At the conferenco yester. dny, which was attended by the Joint Com. mitteo of the Legislature, the nowly-np- pointed Railrosd and Warehouso Com- missioners, and prominent representativos of tho Board of Trade and the rail- road lines, tho subject of such vital , . consequence to the commercial interests of %W, Chicago, was thorotghly’ discusscd, and the importance of such changes in the existing law as shall do away with the nnjust and in- jurious discrimination against Obicago which results from the present system of inspection, was pointed out so clearly that the Joint Committee will not lack for relia- ble information upon which to base their re. port. S — Accounts from all quarlers represent a moeat deplorable condition of things in Tur- key. Tho now Constitution which Mipmar Pasua drew up, and which eventually ocost him bis Premiership, is not received with favor by the Turkish peoplo, As an offsct to tho Conferenco it worked woll, and in fact insured tho defeat of the Conference propo- sitions ; but, now that anattempt is made to give it practical effect, it has aroused the opposition of the samo elements which over. threw Anpui-Aziz, and thesc elemonts are now busily at work plotting the ruin or de- struction of the present Bultan, with abso- lute cortminty of success, Moanwhile the Russian Government, by ita very delay and the uncertainty of its movements, welghs down upon Turkey like an fucubus, It now appeams as if the mere presence of an im- mense Russian army like that now stationed along the Pruth would exhanst Turkey soon. er and more completely than a war, and indi. cations are not wanting that this {s the Fa. bian pelicy of Russia. —, It is to be rogretted that Justices Orrrronn and FieLp, upon an occasion such as the in- suguration of the President of the United States, shonld have been unable to divest themselves temporarily of the intense parti- san prejudice which characterized their course ns members of the Electoral Commis- sion, and that they should have so conspicu- ously advertised their affiliation and sympa- thy with the Democratio soreheads as to ab- sont themsclves from the inauguration ceremonies. It has been the custom, since the United States had a Prosi- dent {o inaugurate, for the Justices of the Bupreme Court to attend upon the formal investiture of tho Chief Executive of the nation, and in refusiug toaccord this time- bonored mark of respect Justices Cuirvomp and Fierp were guilty of an act of discourt- 5y 84 discreditablo and unworthy as it was uncalled for and undignified. The only ex- planation of their conduct yesterdny is that, not being ablo to forget that they were Dem. ocrats, they were unable to rewrember that they wero Jusf The Chicago produce markets were rather quiot yesterday, and generally easfer, Mess posk closed 160 lower, at §14.25 for March and $14.42}@14.45 for April.

The Inangural Address of President Havza will be gratofully reccived by the country. Hia letter of accoptance, written last July, ‘wasa model paper. It was a relief to the nation, which bad become tired of the usual parly harrangues and appeals, the usual equivoeal phirases, the empty promiscs, and Tho letter of Gov. Harzs was the production of a states- man, addressed to the intelligence of the conntry, and discussing questions from n broad, national view, and not with the narrow vision of a partisan, In that letler hoan. nounced his purpose, if elected, to do all in his power os Exccutiva to promote the wel- fare of the Bouth by the establishment thera of honest, responsible gelf-govarnmont, which, whilo obedient in all thinga to the Constitution, should recogniza nnd protect unreservedly the eivil and political rights of all classes of the people. In his Inaugnral Address yosterday he repoats this prom- ise evon more emphatically, Ife declared that the sentiments expressed in his letter of acceplance would bo the ‘standard by which his stops would be guided. He considered that the condition of the Bouthern States re- quiro wise, honest, and penceful local self- government, and that the fact is clear that the timo has come when such government is an {mperative necessity. In view of all the conditions of those Stales, and of the neces- sily of the peoplo, he considered that all so- callod party interests lose importance, and party lines may well bo permitted to fall into insignificance. Tho question Lefore thomin those Blates was one of government or no government,—a government of social order and industrial bleesing, or n condition of barbarism. He reminded the peopls of the South that the evils under which they Inbored could only be removed or romedied Ly the united and Larmonious efioria of both races, and ha proposed tofollow a civil policy which will forever cradicate ‘in our political affairs tho' color line and the distinotion between North and South, ‘Thero can be no mistaking the mentimonts thus expressed, nor the policy thus marked out. The new President has shown that tho vicws oxpressed by bim in adcepting tho nomination have become strengthened by timo and reflection, and the country which welcomed his advocacy of the policy of poace, order, union and ungualified freedom of all citizens, will rojoice that as President ho thus frankly and omphatically declares that he shall adhere to that policy, and, so far s ho can as Executive, will do what is possi- ble to promote it. In his efforts to that end the President appoals to the whola country, and the whole country will heartily snatain him, The Premdont is hardly less frank in the reiterntion of his views on Civil-Service o~ form. His sentiments will hardly be com- forting or assuring to those who are sceking oftice as rewards for partisan services. He insists, now as Presidont os he did last July a3 n candidate, on a thorongh and radical roform of the Civil Bervice,—n roform that willebe & roturn to the principles and practices of the founders of the Govern- mont, Partisan sorvices are to boignored; public officers shall owe their whole services "to the Government and to tho people; the officer shall bo socure in his tenure as long as his personal character romains untarnishod and the performanco of Lis dutics satiafac. tory. Appointments are not to be mnde morely on the nomination of the mem. bers of Congross as being entitled in any respect to the control of such appointments. In the late clection both parties wero united indemnnding the reform of the Civil Bervics, and snch reform must be considered as demanded by tho whole country. While ncknowledging that Lo owes his cloction to the suffrage and labors of a political party, ho will strive always to remember that he serves his party best who sorves the country best. In other words, the President pro- poses to subordinate party to tho higher interests of tho country. This {a tho solomn declaration of an carncst, honest man, who has givon this ss- suranco to the country after a long and thoughtful deliberation, It is a declaration of war ageinst the wholo system of machine politics. It is a notice to all concerned that the now Administration does not intond to bind {tsclf to honor contracts or bargains and sales of offices made by members of Congreus to henchmon and parasites. Hore- after tho President propoacs to exerciso some will in making appointments, and members of Congresa aro no longer to be rocognized o3 dictators in making either removals or ap. pointmonts. Tho great evil of American politics and of the administration of the Government is the low standard of the Clvil Bervice. The Prosident proposcs to try and reform that serv.ce, and, that he may do so cfloctually, to resume tho power of appoint. ment. 1le will make an offort in that direc. tion, at all events, No abler, wmore diguified, or so frank and explicit address was ever made by any Preai. dent upon entering that high office. 'fhe slncerity and earnestness of tho man are dis- closed in every sehtence. No one can read it and doubt his purpose, or question the firm- nesd with which he will adhere to that pur- poso, no matter by whom he may be op« posed.. He ovidently relies more forapproval and support upon the intelligence and justice of the people than upon mere party dis- cipline and coheslon, He clearly proposes to bo Right, and to follow the Right to all ita logieal conclusions under all clroumstances. A —————— . DEMOCRATIO STUPIDITY. It {s stranga the pains which mon take to overreach themselves. When the Army Ap- propristion bill was bofore the House of Reprosentatives, the Democratio majority in. serted thereln a sentence prohibiting the employment of any portion of the aruy to waintain, protect, or support any State Gove ernment in Louislany or South Casolina, The Souate, by repeated votes, reaching wlmost entire unanimity, rejected this section, and the House by ms frequent votes inslsted thereon until the bill failed and Congress wmads no appropriationa for the support of tho army for the year beginning July 1, 1877, Tho dofeat of the bill -défeated also the re. striction upon the wsc of the arwny by the President. Nothing whatever, thereforo, was accomplished, oven in & party view, by defeating the Appropriation bill. ~Ihe srmy doos not depend on tho Appropriation bill, Tho rank and pay, and the number of ofilcers sud men, the number and classifi. tion of the soveral reghuents, and the number and location of the military THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1877. distriets, aro all cstablished by law, and will and must continne to exist juat the same as if tho bill had passed. The depariments of clothing, sbaistence, and transportation are all empowered by law to make their contracts covering cortain periods. The effect of not pasaing the Appropriation bill will therefors ba to leave contractors without money and tho officers and men withont their pay from July next until an appropristion bill is possed. The appropriations needed until July were mede last year, ad the proposed restriction npon the use of the army by the President heen already o law, and the Ro- publicans were trying to repenl it, then by defeating the Appropristion bill the House would have retained the restriction; but the result is that they have dofeated the Appro- priation bill and lost their proposed restric. tion st the rame time. Tho restriction itself was an extraordinary proposition. . The: Conatitution makes tho Presidont of the United States? Commander- in-Chlef of the Army and Navy. As Com- mander-in-Chiet Lo has exclusive. authority to directand control the movements of the army. The army has to bo located in soms place or places. 'The army is the national polica. By ils means, whon needod, the offi- cers of the Government maintain their authority, enforco the laws, and exocute tho docrecs of courts, repel and snppress Indian hostilities, and gonerslly maintain the na. tional péace, Botweon the Polomac and the Rio Grande therearo at present not over 1,000 troops:” thoss not engaged on the pining nud frontiors are scattored in small detachments all over tha other States of the Union. The Constitution makes it the im. perative duty of the President, in case of do- mestic violence, upon the application of the Legislaturs, or, whou the Legislature cannot bo convened, of the Excculive of a State, to employ tho forces of the United Stntes to suppreas such violence. Judge Taxey, in delivering the judgment of the Supremo Counrt in the Rthode Island case, held that in n case where thers wore two Governments, both claiming to bo the trne Government of the Btate, the Presldent had authority to de. termine which ha wonld ald. Under this plain and direct authority and command of tho Constitntion, the attempt by Conpress to restrict tho Preident in tho uso of the army, upon the application of the State Leg- islatnre or Exocntive, to protect any Stato ngainst domestic violauce, was an attempt at usnrpation, in direct confliot with the lotter and requirements of tho Constitution. Mad the rostriction boen passed, it would have been o nullity, Nevor was thero n cloarer caso of sclf-ovorreaching than that practiced by the Domocratic majority of the Houso. They attempled a gross and scandalons in. dignity upon tho incoming Vrosident, nnd failed. They defented thoir own intended in- gult Ly defeating the bill. After making a scandalous exhibition of theirown bad tempor and baflled rago, what have they to show for it? Nothing but the defoat of tho nppropria- tion for the army, and compelling that branch of the service to be run on credit for & few months. —— PRESIDENT HAYES' CABINET. It is reported that the members of ex- President Gnaxt’s Oibinot have indicated their willingness to romain in their re- spoctive positions for a fow days to give President Hares ample time to make up his own Cabinet, and until there shall be a def. inite announcement of the names sclected by Presidant Harzs, there can only bo specula- tion ns to the persons ho will choose. It s not at all improbnble, however, that many of the persons already named have beon sotu- ally agreed upon, among them Wirrzax 31, Evants, of New York, for Becrotary of Btate, Sonator Buzrsax for Socrotary of the ‘[rensury, Cant, Bonunz for Socrotary of the Interior, Gov. Ricx, of Massachusotts, or Mr. Farz, of Maine, for Secrotary of the Navy, Gronor W. McCnany, of Iown, for “Attorney-Genoral, and some conservative _.Houlhomer. liko ex-Sanator Davip M. Kery, of Tenaessce, for Postmastor-Gonoral: A strong offort is boing made to have Presidont Haves rotain Mr, Oauesox in the War Dopartinent, and the promptnoss and energy which that gentleman has dovel. oped in his ' position would incline the Presidont to dowo, if it wers not that the retontion of any ono momber of the presont Cabinot might give offonsa to tho friends of such othor members as desire to remainj novertholess, Mr, Casznon may be retained. In this programme no place ia made for ox-Secretary Baistow, who is belioved by a Inrge class of the Reform Republicans to be tho fittest man to be called to the portfolio of the Treasury, Thero ia cortainly a strong disposition on the part of President Harxs to mocuro the nssociation nand assistance of Mr. Baistow, but this sgain would set a procedent whereby the friends of the differ- ent competitors for the Presidontial nomina. tion might urge Mossrs, Bramiz, CoNXLING, Monton, and Hawtnaxer for Cabinet posi- tlons as woll as Mr, Bmistow, Prosidont Lixcory was the only President who over callod about him all the gentlsmen compet. ing for the chief offico, and he did this in & time of war, whon it wns necessary to secure tho good-will and hearty co-operation of all cloments at the North ; the same con- dition does mnot exist now, and there are many reasons why some of Prosident Haxes' compotitors might better remaln in the posi- tions of trust and importance they now oc- oupy., If this reason prevails against tho appointinent of Mr, Bastow as Booretary of the Treasury, it is not unlikely that he will be appointed to the vacancy on the Buprome Bench mado by the resignation of Judge Davis.: Whils the people of Chicsgo and all Illinols, and to somo extent of the ontire West, Lave hoped that Judge Dzuinsoxp would be appointed to Davia’ place, and cer. taluly prefer him to all others, the appoint. ment of Mr. Busrow would be eminently salisfoctory ; bo Is an accomplished lawyer, has a calm and judiclal mind, and would be the first Bupreme Judge sppointed from the South for many years. If Henator Buzauan, in that case, be sppolnted Becretary of the Treasury, Mr, Hayes will undoubtedly bave securvd the man who is more familiar than suy other with American finances; Mr, Burayax has been & member of the Finance Committeo ever since he wont into the Sonate snd for many years ils Chairman, and possesses an intimate knowledge of all the matters which come under the control of the Becretary of the Treasury, ' The great masa of the intelligent and con servative people of this country will rejoice at a roalization of the report that Oaxn Scruzz will be tendered a Cabinet position, Thers is not & man in all the land outside of publio place who is 50 sdmirably qualified for administrative work and sdvice. Of rare culture, large publio experience, and Laviog an scquaintance with American his- tory and affairs that fow native-born citizens can boast of, ho will be an honor to Presi- dent Ilaves’ Administration, to the Repub- lican party, and to the country. «The ten- dering of a Cabinet place to Scuvnz would be especially flattering in view of the fact that thors have only been throe forelgu.born cilizens, as far as we know, in all the pre- vious Cabinets. Avrxxanpen Hamrrrox, Becretary of the Troasury wnder Wasmixo- ToN nnd tho fathor of American finnnco, was born in the West Indies of a Beotch father and a Fronch mother, and was edneated in England and France, and his mind fally formed before he came to Amerioa. ArpEnT GarraTiv, Secretary of the Treasury under Jxryzasox and Mapisox, and holding the office from 1802 to 1814, was born in Genevn, Switzerland. Wrttnax J. Duaxe, Becrotary of tho Treasnry ucdér Jicxsox, who ap. poiuted him in 1833 and romoved him the sama yoar because he rofused {o chaunge the doposits from the United States Bank, was born an Irishman, but came to this country whilo yet a child. The appointmont of Cart, Bomurs to the Cabinot would be a propor recognition of the large German. American population, an evidence that President Haxes doos not inherit tho late Administration’s hostility {o Benator Suar. nxn's frionds, and a tribute to genuino por- sonal merit. - .The President's inaugural address leaves littlo doubt that he will selebt at lenst ono Bontherner who dld not support him, but who {s thoroughly in sympathy with the con- servative men of the South and opposed to the Desporado clement in the Democratic party. Probably Davip BL Ker is tho most avallable and useful of all the men 3f this class from whom the President mny make the solection. Hin lennings in tho Bonmnte bavo been of a conservative and concilintory nature, and he was the caundidato of the Old. Line Whigs and conservative Domoorats for tho Senato as opposed to Bainzy, the repre. sontative of tho Extromists, who was only elected by n fow votes aftor a savere contest. Geographically the Stata of Tenncsseo ia well located, and alarge proportion of the citizons of that State are well disposed, to further the enmmondable project of blotting out the color line in Bouthern politics and dividing into parties on othor issucs. It President Haxes' sclections conform to tho spirit of the most probable suggestions s to what they will be, the conntry will bo thoroughly content. No men conld be chosen who are botter suited for tho State and Justice Departments than Winnrax M. Evants and Geonoe W. McCnany, nnd, swe tained by such men os Bouvez, Sucmuaw, Ricz, Fars, Gen, Hanwax, of Kentucky, or 3r, Kzx, of Tonnessce, tha Administration will start out with the enthusinstio support of the Republicans, ths admiration of the conservativo Demoorats, and the confldence of the whole country. THE DEMOCRATIC LAMENT. Tho Democratic address which has beon issued by the Congressional represontativos of tho party canous may bo regarded ay the Inst wail of tha office-seokérs who have boen not meroly dofoated, but defeatod in disgraco for the mothods they employed to achieve success, This address, of course, has beon fssued for party purposes, urging that the Democrats organize for new conteats, and charging that President Havza'title to the offlce is tainted with frand. As might bo ex- pected from such a decumont, tho wholo question is bogged. 1t is put forth with the coolest presumption in the world that Afr. TiLex roceived 108 Eloctoral votos, though ho didn't; and that ho was elected President, though he wasn't. Tho Electoral Commis- sion to whom the dispnte was reforred, mainly at the pstance of the Democrats, decided that Afr. Hares recelved 185 Tlectoral votes, and that ho was elocted President. Thon tho address impenches the Commission, notwithstanding it.has done just what it was organized to do, and did it in the manner authorized by tho law creating it. It was loft to the Commirsion to decide upon the law s well as the facts, and its de- cislon was to tho effect that the Constitution does not authorize Congress, and therefare not tho Commiasion, $o sot aside or interfers with tho conatitutional right of every State to sppoint Electors in its own way. Tho Commission, therefore, had no anthority to nullify the action of a Returning Board en. dowed with judicial powers by the law of the Stato, and it wonld have been idlo and useless to examine witnesses s to n matter in which they could not act, no matter what that testimony Lad proved to he. Had they consonted to investigato the pop- ular vote of Floridn and Lonisiana, they would mercly have succeoded in defeating the purpose for which the Com. missfon was created, sinco March 4 would havo intervened and a new election would have beon necessary, lenving - tho nation to anarchy and chaos in the meantime, Great stress is 1aid by the Democratic manigers on the action of the Louisiana Ro- turning Board. This is their wholo case. In stating it they doliberatoly suppross the facta which warranted that Board *in exer- claing its judicial function in purging the re. turns of fraud. We have on different occe. slons showed that in five parishes alone those frands were sufficient to account for the fraudulent Democratio majority in the State. Wo will restato it in somewhat dif- forent shape, as follows Rep, maj, Dem.moj. Dem. frauds T Al i i TN F.Dston Nonge.000 X 018 = 1,603 Feliclana..841 X 1,70 = 2877 B0 X 'BT0 = 1420 X - 058 - 2,000 ‘Total frauds in five countles.... In the single Parish of East Feliclana, where the Rlepublicans had cast 1,088 votes in 1874 and had roglstered pearly 2,200 for 1876, they wore not permitted to cast one solitary ballot, while the Democrats stuffed the ballot-boxes to the extent of more than double their actual voting strength in the porish. The Democratio frauds are properly reprosentod, therofore, not mersly by the stuffing of tha ballot-box but by the Repub- Mean votes which they prevented from being cast by threats, violence, and intimidation.: Mr. Reprixen, the wellknown newspaper correspondent, certalnly cannot be accused of any partiality for the Republican party in the South, yot in regard to the action of the Loulsiana Returning Bdard here is what he sayst Loulsinna was carried for TiLpEX by wholesale maurder, violenco, intimidstion, and bulldozing on thy ** Miseisaippi plan, " tn five parishes, Tho net Democratic galn in these ive parishes Is morethan the majority which TiLoEx hae on the face of the roturng, \Without sttempting to defend the cor- rupt and Imbecile so-called Hepublican Govern wment uf Loulstana, whichis s stench In the nose trils of every honest wan, yot I would ssk Mr, CaursyvEe if It wes mot fur the Hoturning Board ‘what remcdy would there be for wholesalo intiml. dation?

All this the Democratic address studiously conceals in endeavoring to make up a record that will impeach Presi- dent Haxzs' titls to the Presidency in equity a3 woll 'as law,—though that title Lias been abundantly confirmed In every respect. REMEDY FOR THE LOUISIANA TROUBLES. The New Orleans Republican of Feb, 24 contains a plan for the pacifieation of Louisi- sun which goes to the very root of the troublesinthat distracted State. Itlaysdown the broad proposition that the sole question which keeps the public mind disturbed in that Btate i the occnpation of the public offices, and thatin the strife for this spoil the Democrnoy, s the most needy, des- perate, and military power in- the State, will ultimately succeed in its capture, and it supplies the remedy in the following signifiennt languago: ** Whon a weapon in- nadequato to defenso is on the point of being wreatod by a rovengeful antagonist, what is best to bo dona? Undonbtodly to break the wenpon, or cast it beyond the ronch of the inturisted antdgonist.” Dropping the mota- phorical, the weakness of tho Republican party in Louisiann lies in the concentration of patronage in ono hand. Following the French Jeontralization -system, the Governor Las the sppointment of Shoriffs, Connty Treasurors, the Judiciary, nnd oll parish officials, The omployment of this power has never aided the party, Ontho contrary, the nppointing power has concentrated upon tho heads of the leaders all tho fury of the disappointod condidates. It hns concon- tratod tho Democratio assanlt npon tho suf- frnge of colored Republicans. 1t has nar. rowed and degradod Lopublican principlos. It has incited needy and despernts poif- ticinos to make any offort, liowever dis. Lonest it might be, to secure tho immenss patronago and perquisites of the State Gov- omment, It has enriched individuals, but it hins nover benefitod tho party or tho State Treasury, Worso than all clso, it has con- stantly reduced thio strength of the party through tlio ,perniclous influence of the bit- tor faction fights it has engendered. Aglanco at tho history of the parly will illustrate this trath, Eight years ngo the Republican party in Louisiann bad ot lenst 10,000 white men in its organization. At the same time the Gov- ernor had, at the vory least, 2,000 appoint- monts within his powor, nnd there were about 1,000 Federal offices in addition to bo distributed. As will be seon, there were not offices onough, Btate aud National combined, to go aronnd among the whites, not to speak of such colored mon as had aspirations for office or olaims upon patronoge. Immedi. ately there aroso s strife for the officos, and the party split into two factions, Wanmorn heading the one and PAckazp and Oasey the other. The fight betwoon the factions was evon moro bitter than the fight against the common oncmy. The white eloment was split in -twain. One-half the disappointed faction laft tho State or dropped ount of politics, and the other half went avor to the Democracy. Tho same result occurred dur- ing the Kxrroaa Administration, The Krr. 1000 cligne quarreled and fought over the offices until it split again, and thus the miserable interncoine political struggle has boen going on with the ovident intention of redncing the whito elemont to such small dimenaiona that tho offices would be sufficient to go around. Bince- the lnst eloction the faction splita have been ro- nowed, and wo now have tho sssurance from Gov, Pacrarp himsolf that such ex-Ropub. leans as Pivonnacx, Oaszy, Wesr, Snent- DAN, Broanaxen, Canten, and others are alrendy banded together in league with the Nicnorwa party to provent the recognition of the Packanp Government. The resnlt of all theso divisions has loft but abont 2,600 whita'men in the Republican party, Niuety- five per cout of that party is colored, and s at the mercy of tho \White-Linors and buil. dozoers, bocause thore are not onough whites in tho, porty to protoct them or guarnntce thom theie rights under the constitutionnl asmendments, Meanwhile, the remalning 5 per cent of whites, although they have the officos, cannot hold ‘them without the sup- port of Federal bayonets, Should the troops he withdrawn, the whole State Government would crumble like & ropo of sand, The romody for this miserable utate of nlfairs is obvious, The Republican suggests it in the following programme : The GQovernor shonld at & proper timo convena the Legiulature and address them A request: Firat=To enact such legislatlon as would make 1he offices annually olcctive, ¥ Atcond—To make tho weasure of officlal compon- satlon adequate Lo the personal service of the in- cumbent, L. Evidently the first thing to do is to broak up the local patronage, and tho next is for the Fedoral Gavornment to fill it offics out of the beat classos of cltizens, not- only with Republicans, but also from that portion of tho native olement which has been davoted totbe Unjon, Then the Governor would occupy the same position as Northern Gove ornors, That bane of American politics, the one-man powor, would be removed, and the intogrity and discretion of the peoplo would be responsiblo for thoir officlals, The oolored voto of the State would then receive pro- tection, and would be recoguized and sought for by the rival candidates for office, The temptation of spoils would be removed from’ the Executive office. Tho Republican party could stand alono, and no longer wonld have to be hold up by Federal bayonets, The fol. lowing warning to Republicanshas the whole truth in a natshell > It sccares to the Republicans sll the frults of re- construction, It dlscards a subjeet of atrife in which they are snd must continue the ‘waker party.
