Prestdent Hayes whl recelve the thanks ot prident business men, Irrespective of party, for his veto of the Funding bill in the bad shane it reached him, His veto message Is probably the last Importunt act ot his publie Iife, and 18 certainly not tho worst, It will R far to atone for o number of serlous mis- takes which he has recently committed, and witl muke an approprlate ending of un Ad- minlstention whieh has been dignitied and upright, whatever may have been 1ts errors of Judginent or indiserces acts ln tho way of appolntuonts, ‘I'ho mnin objectionsto the bill In 1ts pres- ent shnpe ave stated by the President In o foreible manner, 1lis criticlams are con- flned to the Corlisle coerclve fifth seotion, 1t that wers ot of the way, hie siys Dlaintyg he wonld approve the blll, aud he invites Cungress to relnnet It without the bunk- bullduzing section, dn which enso his sig- nature will bo promptly fortheoming, While the I'resldent belleves that n 8} per cont rate within the discretlon of tho Seeretary of the Trensury would be safer than 3 per eent, he does not set up his fudgment on this noint ngalhat that of Congress, Ilo tacltly adumits that the nuthority of the law-making body In such nuintter, when no pelnelplo Is involvet, should b nbove his own; mid he vetaes this bill not becauso it s unwise In its funding provisiony, but beeause it contains injurious and_dangerous umondments of the National- Banking faw that have no proper relations to thesubjoect of funding, ‘I'ho fivst specitie erlticlam of the fIfth see- tion offered by the Prestdent is that It roquires tho banks to substitute an Inferlor for sue perlor seeurlly, "The objeet of the Inw pro- viding for deposits of honds to seeuro Na- tloual-bank cleulation s to protect tho pooplo front loss through the faiture of any bank to redeom Its notes, "The replaeing of ligh-pricad bonds with 8 per cents would: dhminlsh the valuo of these denosits, Thero 15 no assurance that 3 per cents, oven It they should bo sold for par (which 1s very doubt- ful), conld he kept there, Stringeney In the money mavkets, bad crops, an unfavorable balnnco of trade, or sny ons of hulf-p-dozen other contingencles might depross the § per conts conslderably below par.

I'he fifth seetfon, oy the President strongly Inttmates, was not adopted In good fafth, 1t Is a covert stab of the Bourbons at the banks, direeted more by malice and disappointed spleen than by any high senso of publie duty. Its purpose may have been to drive them out’ of the business; and whether this was the in- tention or not, there is too much reason to fear that it might have been the result, The DIrosldent truly says: *“Any rofunding nct will defeat its own object If 1t lmperils the Nationnl-bunking system or seriously impaics its usctulness.” But the object of some of the promoters of this Lill was apparently less to tund the debt at a Jow rate of interest than to wound the banking system, They would, If they hud thelr way, strike it down, and they sought by the fifth section to wenk- en it and prepare the way for Its downfall, awl the restoration of the old State-sover- efgnty systent of wild-cat lnstitutions. ‘The defeat of the bill In its orlginal shape will relleve P'resident GartlelsvAdiministra. tion of serious embarrassment, It woull have heen most distasteful for a Republiean Aduinlstration to oppress and perhaps destroy n banklng system which Is one of the best products of Itepubllean policy. T Cartisle sectton wmight have required oxtrems menstires, and perhaps have caused o finanelal” convulsion. Presldent Garfield is happlly freed from responsibility on this score: and he, in eonunon with all others who have tho welfaro of the country truly at lieart, must rejolee thnt Prestdent Hayes hay Interfered to prevent tho possibility of so dlsastrous n results PRESIDENT HAYES RETIRES. » 'To-tny Presldent Iayes Iays down tho of- fico of President of the Unlted States and retires to private life, A few words as to hls admintsteation of the oxecutlve office may be appropriate, Mr. Hayoes entered the ofiiee undor efrcum- stances which had attended the eleetion ot no other President, There was u cloud wpon tho title, and, for the first time in the history of our Natlon, the justlee of the award of the oftice to him was wot only strongly ques- tloned, but widely doubted, Unfortunately, under our peculinr system of political ma- chinery, there wus no tribunal with nuthori~ ty to declde the nllegations of fraud mnde by both pactles in cortain States, and, to avert the question of a disputed succession, Cons gress provided o special means of ronching n Judgment which heforehand was declared ghould be final. It was under the deelslon of this Commisslon, itself as nearly cfjunlly divided ns possible, that Mr. Hayes was de- clured elected. ‘The roverenca of the Amerd- can people for authorlty wus never sostrong- Iy displayed as in the universal ncquieseeneo by the country in this judgment, In the syb- stantinl justles of which there was so wide adiversity of opinton, The Presldent at once adopted the theory that the people of the late rebelllous States had.reached that polut In returning Unfon senthuent that their necoptaneo of the changed polltieal und social relations of the country would bo bost promoted by the with- drawal of nll seeming coercion, and sppenl- Ing to thelr sonse of justlee, At that time, there were opposing State Governments In Loulsians and South Caroling, and nctual steife was only nverted by the intervention of troops In those States, Knowing the result ns to the clnims of these Governments, the Pres. klent gave orders for tho withdrawul of the Federal troops, and tho State Governments professing to be elected by the Democruts, ns distingulshed from those elected by tho Re- publicans, at once becamo the recognizod Governments of those States. "Ilint the Pres- Ident was actunted by the hiihost publle con- slderations, und that he hoped confidently that this i‘iehllu;: to the ?Imuur that all theso ex-Rtobols winted wns * home rule” would sxtinguish the Southern antagonlsm to thore- constrietion potley of the Government, there can be no doubt. How that expectation fulled, and how * home rule” was merely used to solilify Southern sontimont, to crush out free speech ninl frew voting, aifd to enable the sixteen ox-slaveholding States to unlte In a persistent nullillieation of the Natlonal laws, hns passed Into history, The resuly sought by the Prestdent was worthy of the highest commendntlon; that his effort falled through Irreeoncilable malignity on ths part of those In whom he had pluced confldence In no way dotracts from the patriotic endeays ors of the Presldent to putan end to the volicy of war. The Presldent, in his nceoptance of tha nomination and fn his tmaugural nddress, spuke words of noble pramlse in the matter of_reforming the Civit Servieo, mud beenuse thoss promises have not boen fullitted in all the dutalls of leglslutlve ennctments It has been deelared that this part of his poliey has been a fallure, ‘Fo understand this question it wnst bo remembered thut any {ntorference with the Clvl Burvice involves o di- reet warfare upon usages which have becomo established In Amorlean polities, ‘The President s elothed by law with the power of all appolutments above certain grades of sorviee, but practleally ho has no auch power, und during many Adwminlstras tlons the Sonators amd Representatives n Congress lmvo usurped the authority of numing the persons forull the offices, hoth great amd small, leaving to tho T'resident simply the oftielul anthority of commission- ing the mon deslgnated by them. Abuses ure inovitatio undur this system, aud if the Presl- dent dil no more ho broke up the abuses, 1t must be also remembored that when he was vleeted the Civil Service iad becoms ono universnl seatudul, and any attempt to yeform 1t had been declared a personal wssanlt npon the privilegos of Congressmen, ‘The land wus fitled with seanduls from the Cablnet down to welgher In the Custom-llouse, Tresidont Huyes at least put un ond to these seanduls; he put the wnejyun out of oflies, and made personal lmnusry i requisit for retontion, Inull his offorts In this reapect Numet tho tioree opposition of, Republicans and Democrnts in Congress, 1n the explring houra of Ms Adwmlntstration the Prealdent batrayed an unfortunate weakness in some of his nppolntinents, und thiy is the only In- stanee in which ho fulled to be o friond and vromoter of Clvil-Servieo vofora, ‘Tho Presldont’s general adiministration of public affutes was aminontly croditable, He eliminated the corrupt and the scaudalous, aud Inslsted uoon & talthful parfojwaucs of duty by all Subordinates, 1o had the good Judgment to seleet able men, awd men of {u- tegrity, for his Cabinet, In polut of abllity ns excentlve oficers, Mr. Evarts, Mr. Shor- man, Mr. Schiurz, and Mr. Devens will eom- compare favorably with the best men who have filled Cabinet oftices for many yewrs, ‘The welght of the Administration has been always glvon to the preservation of the Nn- tonal eredit, ‘I'ho resnmptlon of spovle pay- ments in 1870 will pass Into history as o memoratle Instance of Nutlonal Integrity enforeed by nfirm exercise of anthority in the Kxecutive, There invo beon somo dif- ferences of opinton on minor detalls of the financial management, notably in the enss of the remonetization of sliver, but the whola conulry benes grateful testimony to the wen- eral wisdomof the udiministration of the Nu- tlonn! tinanees, Tho Preshilent dusing the whole term of his oftica was opposed by an adverse majority In one House of Congresy, and by an adverse mforlty In both Houses durlng the lniter half of his term. 'This opposition endenv- ored ta cosreo the Government into an aban- donment of the lnws passed for the securlty of lite and peace and the purity of elecions In the Southiern States.

Mr. [layes has preserved throughout his term the personal dignity, decorum, and re- publtenn slmplicity becoming to a President of the United States, Ile hns arrogated no powars not belonging to his oftice; he has avolded the persounl protenslons which are the outgrowth of vanity, 1o has in truth been the Republican, Presidont of n Republle of frecnen, and lays down the oftice ho has s0 creditably and honorably fiiled with that cheerfulneds which might have been ex- peeted of o man who befora nceepting it declared his purpose to hold it but for a single term, Mr. Tlages and his Admintstration will to- duy pass Into the history of the past.

Servieo reform policy has been attended with somo practical results of an encourag- Ing kind, notwithstanding the sneors, jibes, and propheeies of faflure, and the hosthlty of “machine men.” Ile may furthor congratu- dato hlmself that it has worked Its best and most encouraging results in the very loenlity whero [t was most needed, snd where the opposition to it hnd been the strongest and bitterest. Whntever may have been Senntor Conkling’s motlves In Introducing his resolu- tion of Inauiry a3 to the upplicntion of the Civil-Service rules In the New York Custom- IHouse, and thoy wore probably sinlster, two things are very certaln: first, that the rules have been so thoroughly tpplied that Civl- Servieo reform Is no longer » mere theory, but an accomplished fret, In that lucality of former abuse and coreuption; and, seeond, thot Sonntor Conkiing himself must have been nstonlshed ot the beneticial results Collector Mertlit's € report, in response to the Inquiry, Is emphatic In ity declaratious of the benetieinl resuits of the rules upon the working of the Custom-Ilouse, showing that Incompetents have been weeded out, that the corrupt system of undervaluations has been broken up, that the costof collection hus been reduced, ‘and that New York City has been mado to pay her legitimate share of dutles, As to the effect of the rules upon the publle serviee, the report suys: Thu appointeos aeleated undor the rules huvo, by their “conduet and ofliclency, approved the nicthad uf - geloction with fow excoptions.

These may be enlled homely virtues, but they aroat least manly and honest, and that they may be efliencious In their application to politleal affaies was nbundantly shown by the experi- enee of Mr. Lincoln, 'T'he love and confl- dence of the people are better than politienl favor, nnd the President who relles upon the people is not likely to go far from the right or to mmnke mistnkes that nre not mistakes on the slile of charlly.
