TUESDAY, MARCIL 8, 1681. —_—_——— Tu Ilinots Mouse of Representatives or- dered to a third reading Saturday a bill au- thorizing the Councils of cities and Incorpo rated towns to hold their municipal elections on the same day that township oficers are elected—the first Monday in April. This bul, which has anemergency clausenttached to It, is one whileti should becorffen Inw without de- , Jay, for it Isin the interest of economy and good government, Thereare a hundred cities and villages i Iiinois meorporated under the General Jaw, whieh provides for the holding of municipal elections on the third Tuesday in April. The result of this ls that :, tho voters nre called out twice within one ” amanth, ‘This annoyance was so great ite Chicago that it was obvinted some yenrs ago by a law which, however, Is so worded ag to npply to this city alone. We hope that the Legislature will lose no time in pass- Ing this bill, so that those cities and villages which wish to avail themselves‘of Its pro- visions can do sv this spring. ‘hts country is ballot-boxed to death, The people get sick of these repeated elvctions, and will not turn ont. One clection in the spring for mu- F niclpal and town officers and one tn the fall * for county and State oficers Is quite enough. A decrease fn the number of elections means tho turning out of a better class of electors, The only persons interested in the defeat of thls DIL are the tleket-poddlers and bummers, y; Who make a living by “striking” eandl- < dates, ‘They would like to have an election every month, but the respectable classes of i the community will be satisfied with twoo 2 year. a In the appointment of Judge J.C. Bancroft Davis, of the Conrt of Clatms, to be Assistant Secretury of State, Mr. Blaine has shown a just appreciation of the serious work that is already cut out for him. ‘The fishery anes- tion, the Panama Canal controversy, the Chi- . nese negotiations, and the regulation of our ‘ commerce with Mexico ant Ciba, to say nothing of the ordinary work of the Foreign Oflice, wilt require diplomatic experlence and abilities of the highest order. Mr. Days possesses these In an eminent degree, He served as Assistant Secretary under Mr, Fish, and was tho agent of the United States before the Geneva Commission, In both , these positions he acquitted hiinself with marked ability, and ft ins been snid that the galnlag of tue American case nt Genova was lnrgely due to his efforts, He has beens member of the Court of Claims for the last , _ two years, belng associated In that tribunal with Wiliam IL Hunt, the new Sceretary of tho Navy. It ts considered remarkable that two Judges of this Court, having a life ten- ure, should be willing to surrender thelr places for appointments which must in thelr untture be temporary. Judge Hunt will re- celyo n larger salary, the Secretary of tho Navy belng paid $8,600 per annum, but Judxe Davis In his new ofles will have but $3,500 per annum, or 2500 Jess than he recelyes now, It anust have been promised to him as an ine ducement that he shall have much larger authority and alilgher elass of dutles than have usually attached tu the position of As- sistant Sccrotary of State, tt ens ‘Tim: New York Sun stuck to the “ fraud JN Issue” to the last, firing a vielous parting: shotat Hayes on the Iast day of his term, ending with: “ Farewell, Ilnyes; a glad aud everlasting farewell?’ It published a lst of the alleged men on whom Hayes had con- ferred offices that “counted lin ine” It #ives the names of rovonty-three in Louis! ana who were given Federal ofices that had been connected with the Returning Board, itix2-Btato officers and managers, lresidential 4 Electors, and Supervjsors, and persons don- if ected with the election, and of nineteen versons In Florida, who helped to count him fv, that were appointed to office by Hayes. It alan enumerates the offices that were given to twelve “ visitiig statesmen” and to slx speclal agents that were sent to Florida to took after polltleal mutters and see that tere was a fulr count, The Sun also repents for the last thue Charles Franels Adams? awful anathema; fT conkt never have been reconelted to the plevation by the smallest afd of ming of s pers ou, however respectable in private tify. who ist forever carry npon bly brow te stump of raul Urst trlumpbant in Amerlean bletory. No ‘acuion, however meriturious, can y thy letturs of thut record, he Sten will now rest from its fraud In, bors, But itis notn lttle eurlous that the Sun never discovered tho faet that it was tho Democrats of the Hlnois Legistature who defeated Tiiden and counted Hayes in, Ufthey had not removed David Davis from the Supreme Beneh to the Senate he would huve held the “balance of power” on the 8-0-7 Comission, and every Democrat firm ; Ay betleves that he would have yoted to give Tilden the a Electors, und perhaps + these those of Florida also. By thus tempting htm to leave the Benelt, Judge Bradiey, of New Jersey, who hell Natlonat-sovereignty views, beeame tho balanee of power on the Com- dnission and yoted for Hayes, which mave Nim the office, Tho Stn ought to be candid enough to toll the truth, and rest the respon albility on the Democrats of the Hllnols Leg- Istature, netlis on theadvice of ex-Cov, John M. Pabnev, who urged them to support Davis to beat Logan, ‘The ground taken by Palmer was “anybody to beat Logan,” and he sveceeded in daing Ht, but saeriiiced the “Sage of Gramercy” In sa doing, and de- prived the hungry Democrney of 80,000 of- fiees worth 150 mililons of dollars per annum for four years, Itis just awful to think of whit it ultimately cost the Democracy,—that defeat of Logan by Paliner, Tue Indiana constitutional ainendments to be voted on next Monday provido ns fol- lows: 1, That voters shall have a resitence of alx months in the State, two months In the township, and six weeks in the precinct. Sand 4, That there shall be no diserimina- tion against colored men before the Jaw in the right of suffrage, 3. ‘That general elections shatl be hold in November Instead of October, ‘ 4, That fees nnd salnries may be graded in proportion to population aud the service re- quired, 6 That the General ‘Assembly shalt have power to establish such supplementary cottrts as ny be needed by the people. 9, That munteipal and political corpora- Hons shnll not create an Indebtedness to ex- ceed 3 per cent of the assessed valuation of thelr property. ‘There can be no question abont the sound- ness of cach of these proposed amendments. ‘Those relating to colored suffrage merely re- move deadwood in the present Constitution, and bring the State up to date, That con- cerning fees and salaries is designed to pre- vent the excessive compensation of certain pablle oflicers. That which limits die power of muntefpal bodies to run in debt has been approved by the experience of nelghboring States, notably Ilinols, and fag. stniple but effectual bar to corporate bankruptey. ‘Those which require a pertod of residence of voters and change the time of holding elections aro Intended solely to preserve the purity of the ballut-box, and to save Indiana from being longer the stamping-ground for all the ward- buminers and politleal blackguards in the country, The amendments are, in short, ax- Jomatle, Their Justice and expediency can be nelther denled nor disputed, If anything like a fall vote enn he got out next Monday tt is not doubted that the amendments will be adopted. But there is renson to fear that a full vote will not be polled. A Bourbon conspiracy Is known to exist to defeat the amendments If possible, su that the factitious {importance ot certain pot-house politicians and perennial eaudi- dutes for oftiee may be preserved. It be: hooves the falr-sminded voters of Indiana, Republicans and Democrats, to turn out Monday and carry these amendinents hand- somely, and so to express ln a proper manner their opinion of the prostitution of the ju- dlcfal power to low partisan ends last June, OFFICE-SEEKERS IN WASHINGTON. Allaccounts have agreed that the crowd assembled at Washington at the recent in- dent Garileld was tio targest that had ever been attracted by any shuilar occasion, It was supposed that tho sudden and enormous nceretlon to the popu- lation of tho Capital was made up of curlosity- seekers am! people interested in public affairs as eltizens and observers, The fact that the streets and hotel loboless remain crowded, notwithstanding the: new Gov ernucnt has been organized, — that Congress has adjourned, and that the social season 13 over, -has revealed another purpose to account for the rushof people, Must of tho strangers who remain Jn Washington, and there are thou- auuds of them, aro place-hunters clther for ves or thelr triends, «Tho retired Congressmen are loath to quit the city, and they hang around In tho hope that some oficint crumbs may be dropped for them, The new Congressmen are on thé spot in large munbers, though there is no longer any ex- cuso for them In a desire to study the methods of Jlegisintion, ‘The Congress- men who have been reélected make a pretext of a desire to assure them- selves in regard to an extra session for keeping close to the Departments, In point of fact, the offiee-scekers are only less mumerous than they would have been if a. Democratic President tind been elected, and complete revolution In the Clyll Service wore contemplated, The explanation of this unexpected raid upon the new Administration may probably be found in a general: understanding that President Garfuld’s intention is to return to avonsiderable extent to the old methods of consulting Congressmen as to his appolnt- ments, ‘This understanding has been con- strued, apparently, to mean that Con- gressinen shall again ba permitted to dictate a distribution of patronage in thelr States and districts, and to control their share of the Government appointments Inthe Departinents at Washington, Atall events, It has again become a common thing to hear Senators and Representatives speale of appointments In the first person singular, “TF appointed such and such an one,’ or “I propeso to appoint so and so,” now urops from Congressional Iips as though the new President were to be merely the recording clerk for Congressional nominations. ‘The detatorial Congressmen may find that they have mistaken the rest meantng of the new Tresldent's opliton on thissnbject. Itisa very different thing to ask for Congressional and Tneal opinion wher a yacaney 1s to be filled, and submitting ton.dletution of changes that aro nelthor necessary nor advisavles Nover- theless, meetings of State delegations are heldevery day, and candidates are designated both by concerted action and by Individual Congressional preference for pretty much all tho positions subject to Executive contro), ‘The oilive-scekers who are in Washington in person are now as persistent as In the old thnea when the spolls system was recog- nized as the rullag motive In polities, The fact Is not dus to hard thnes, nor tonehunge of parties, nor to any stuiuita- neous expiration of terms in oflecholding, but to the mania for public place which possesses so large 8 proportion of the Amer- dean people, ‘There are men in Washington toway who began with rldiewions preten- stons to Cubinet positions, and will gradually rau down the gamut until thoy shill verity the anctunt story of accepting a sult of old clothes from the Waite Mouse, ‘There ts an actual ease In aiind of 4 gontleman, without any distinguished ability for any sorb of public service, who really belleved ho had some chance to be Secretary of tho ‘Treasury, who is now nn applicant for the mission te England, and who will complainvas each suecesslvu aspi+ ration ia defeated, and then drop down ton xrade lower with equal tinportunity. ‘The ‘ultimate tatu of such people is portrayed by several well-kpown characters InWashington, who go ubout living on charity, and cherish {n seedy Junaey the delusion that their names ure constantly belng sent to the Senate for high positions, ‘The tenaclty and mistortune of the ofllee-seeker nro Hlustrated by a@ Western man who sought political distine- ‘ tion In vain during ten or fifteen years, was finally elected to Congress, was snutfed out at tho end of his first term, then ne- cepted an appointinent to an obscure Gov- ernment place tn one of the Torriterivs, failed of confirmation, and is still an ap pileant,—to which wnenvlabie fate ho sneri- fice a respectable Inw-practice and the per- sonal comforts and Independence of a self- supporting private citizen, The precedent of change In offices with o new Administration, even though the party fusplees remain the same, fs certainly an error {nour Government, President Garfleld did not feel at Iberty to retain any member of the old Cabinet, though there was onc at least whose services ought not to have been tost to the Government in the pos!- tlon which he had filled with greaterpractical success than had any of his predecessors. Sv It seems to be conceded thatthe Immediate assistants to the Cabinet officers, the heads of Bureaus, and tho foreign diplomatic and Consular service come within the custom and propriety of change without reference to personal fitness or past records, Just how far tho precedents for removals and ney appointnents extend down the Mine docs not seem to bo well de- fined, but the Capital is filled with gossip and rumors of changes iu nearly all degrees of oMelal tenure, It with certainly bo a grievous hardship to deserving and needy people tf the working departments be invaded, and the Government will be the loser by dispensing with tho services of men who have been schooled in their work lo inke room for politieal or personal fayorits, ‘The sooner the President shall be able to give a general conge to tho place-huntors of nll degrees, the better it will be for his per- sonal penee and the snecessof his Adminis- tration, Another feature of the oflice-secking epl- demic Is the dissension which it introduces into the various delegations. ‘Thea Senators and Representatives are not agreed as to the proper division of spoils between them, Members of the Upper Honse elnim special pluees and privileges which inembers of the Lower House are unwilling to concede. Every Representative feels It to he his duty to press for all the offlecs in favor of his own immediate constituency. Ln thiselty, for In- stance, which Includes threo Congressional districts, residence In the North, South, or West Division seems to be variously helt to constitute the chief ciain upon Congressional support, and inyites Congressional opposition from the members of thn other districts. ‘The consequence is that the number of applicants Is thereby in- creased, and disagreement, confusion, ant often bitterness, are engendered, It is to be hoped that the new Adininistration will soon Indlente Its purpose to attend to its own ap- polntments, and ask for advico when It re- quires assistance. WHAT THE AMERICAN CRESUS THINKS OF WEALTH. Mr. Vanderbilt, the Amerigan Croesus, and perhaps the richest man in the work, has been giving his views on railroads, spectla- tion, and money to a reporter of the New York Iferald, evidently actuated thereto by the recent slinilar expression of views made by his right bower, or left bower, ns the caso may be, Jay Gould, Ordinarily, tho views of finan who has heaped up a colussal fortune would be regarded with grent interest, es- pecially when they touch upon the influences of inoney. Mr. Vanderbilt is ono of this elass. He inherited an immense fortune from bis father, and ho has heaped another immenso fortune on the top of that, until he js now worth a clear hundred niiltons, nearly half of which is in 4 per cent Govern- ment bonds, and the other half In real estate and paying railroad stucks. Hw ought to be able to give o grent deal of information to mankind about the causes and effects of vast wealth, what canbe done with it, what ought to be done with ft, ete. But, to tell the truth, Mr, Vanderbilt’s tnformn- tion js very scant and unsatisfactory, A. yast majority of the world would like to know how they would feel with oo milllon even, - and there” are millions upon millions of people who would ike to know how they would feel if they had money cnough to procure something more than the bare menns of existence. They will look in vain to Mr. Vanderblit’s ideas for an auswer, ‘hey might have a’ suspicion that he was a happy mat, or that he was going to do soine good with his monoy, but they will find no hint of itin his statements, People have different Ideas nbout satisfaction with money. Many, like Robin Ruff, think if thoy had but a thousand n year they would be per- feetly happy. Others know they would be satisNed with a hundred thousand, White avery one is positively sure that if hoe had a million he would drop work and hve in clover during the remainder of his days. All are quite agreed they would be happy, never reeognizing the great fundamental truth that each additional dollar brings an addi- tonal enre and subtracts just that amount from tho sum of happiness, The philosopher —rgeugnizes that nll the wealth in) the world, when selfishly used, has no other functlon than ta get its possessor soinething to wear, something to eat, and a place to sleop, Ie may surround hhnself with Inxurles, have a palace to live Jn, fine pictures, statues, conservatories, ete., butall these things may beenjoyed by others without having the care of them, without the fear that thoy may be injured or stolen, and without having to pay taxes upon thom. | Consequently the philosapher Is happler than the Crassus with all hig magnificent sur- roundings. Mr, Vanderbilt clahns that he is sutisfed with is hundred miliions, Ho says: “I tell you tho nicest thingin this world Is to bo satisted with what you have, and that's what Tam, 1 don’t care to accu- mulate any more wealth, L have as much ag Iowant”’ At tho first glance it would seem that one ought to be satisfied with a hundred sulliion dollars, and. with a condition that enables him to (il! every: want of carthly Ife. It may be that Mr. Vanderbilt really bolleves ho Is satisfied with iis wealth, and that he thinks he doesn’t want any more, but “all thogame” he fs inistaken, If he wore satistied, why did he the otherday water up Western Union to the tune of fifteen milllons, and poeket halt of it? Isthat tho waynman acts who Is sallsiied with what he lias? Does a really contented man continually grasp for more? Does a satistied man organize great mo nopo- Mes for squeezing money out of people? It sometimes, though not often, happens that funnensely rleh men have honorable ambl- Uons, What is Mr, Vanderbilt's ambition? Ne statos itAhus: ‘The ont thio 1 am looking after 3 to aco that the other fellows don’t wet away with whit Chave. ‘ho Commodore used to say that it took a good dead smarter fellow to keep money than to wake it. T would bo a very silly follow, with no eurthly want toll, to ga dawn into the etract aud go futo competitian with men who muke a ‘business of apceulition.—who could walk round moe three or four times before breukfust any day. No, Cam the guardian of a great trust, of a Valuable estate, and that position and ite ros ward Hiball my bumun ambition and desive, ‘This declaration glyes us a pleture of the man. Money is the one object of his lfey— to get money, ta make that money got other money, to accumulate and heap It up, to grasp it with aelutch so greedy that not a dollur of it shall get away from film, to suspect every man Who approaches hin of a design to get sowe of it uway from him, ‘To heap up this money jand keep It to- gether, ho declares, 1g tho only umbition of ils Mfel Wherein docs it differ from the ambition of the miser who hoard? merely for the sake of hoarding? Hf My. Vanderbiit had any purpose fn view the ense would be different, but of this he gives nosign. If Mr. Vanderbilt were in the habit of using his vast wealth to make the world better; if he were a sympathizer with string. gilng humanity; if he were inthe hablt of wuting his shoulder to the wheel to help the world on in higher and nobler ways, the whole country wontd rejotes in his neeumu- Intian of mancy, ‘Co keep his money is Mr Vanderbil’s fdeq of smartness. From his own pointof view It must be asad contem- plation for him that he cat only keep ttn it- tle while longer, for he somewhat regretfully complains that he Is getting old and thot rhetmatism lays hincup. With all the power of Ms hundred millions he eaunot ward off the aches and palus that afitet ordinary mor- tals, He appears to be may out of tho same. sortof clay, It ts a sat commentary upon wealth that the wealthiest man in tho coun try has nothing better to offer us in the way of ideas than that he has aceumulated a hun dred tmilllons, and that he Is golng to keep Itt A SURFEIT OF PAYMASTERS, The oftee of Paymaster in the milltary and naval service of tho Unlted States: Is one greatly sought by politicians who lave lost their gtip on local politics, and who seek such pinces for retirement on good pay inn sort of genteel rank, with Ittle or nothing to do, and with oflice holding for life, ‘The army of the United States consists of about 87,000 men of all grades, rnuiis, and oc- eupations, from the General down to the Inst recruit, ‘Che number of enlisted men in actual military service ts about 23,500. ‘The payment of the officers and ments by no micans as regular and systematic as is that in priyate life, ‘There are In this city 200,000 or mnore persons drawing wages, the most of whom are paid weekly or bl-weekly. ‘There are several: establishments in each of which there are over 1,000 persons patd thelr carn- ings regularly once a week. In the army the Paymaster visits the remoto stations océn- sionally. while the bulk of the pay, that of the officers, ts pald at the respective head- quarters with such regularity aso may be needed to meet the requests of tho ollicers themselves. The provicenes of the Goverment in the organization of the army has so arranged it that there shall bo no Inck of Paymasters, and for that purpose there Is a special depart- ment, and the present force of that depart ment consists of one Brigadler-General, two: Colonels, two Lieutenant-Colonels, and fifty Majors, ‘This Is 0 foree of Paymasters equal to ono Paymaster to eneh 500 ofleers and nen; or equal ta one Paymaster for each 428 non-commissioned officers and men in the service. AS these are paid on an average once In every three or four months, these Payinasters have.to be very lively and active In order that each imay have something to do every year. « But the providence of the Government In the way of having Paymasters 1s especially shown in the naval service. ‘There the Pay Departinent shines in all its Instre, ‘The American navy ig vinammoth establishment, It has as manyns a dozen, or even fifteen, vessels nfloat, and perhaps as many us thirty others of allsizes, which, nt a cost ofa inition or two millions each, might be mace to float, "Phero are, all told, an avernge of about 15,000 persons doing serviee under pay In the navy, and in order that these persons mry suffer no inconventence for want of their wages, or pay, there is a-regular Pay Department ex- tablished In the nayy, This department, ac- cording to the Inst Navy Register, ty com posed of the follaying oficers, with the rank and yearly pay stated?

Stanley Matthows has returned to Clnein- nati, Ha is salil to be convinced that his electioneering for appointment to tho, Su- preme Bench Is- hopeless. This is probably the case, Thore are many good reasons why Kisnomlnation should not be renewed, It was unfit to be mada in the first place; aud {ts renewal, after the actlon of tho Senate Judiciary Committes upon It and the storm of public disapproval It called forth, would bo a blunder, ‘The objections to Mr, Matthews will guide tho new President to somo extent In his eholeo of a man who will bo acceptable to the Bur and the country 13 the successor to Juatica Swayne, Such vain will not belong to the rallrond corporations, nor be conspicue ous for his devotion to the monopoly inter- estsof Mr. day Gould, Ie will not bo mixed up in tho dirty work of partisan polltics, aud yet, more than that, ho will not be a resl- dent of the Ohlo Judicial Cireutt, whieh al- ready has’ tea members on the Supreme Beneh; and he will bo a practicing lawyer hv the Soventh Judicial Circuit, whleh coms prises the populous, wealthy, and commer- clatly important States of {Inels, Wiseon- ain, and Indiana, The Ohlo Cireult ls now represented by Chief-Justico Waite, who was appointed from Ohio, and by Mr. duatice Harlan, who hails from Kentucky. ‘Thoy aro. both cont paratlvely young and vigorous mon, and will secure that clreult: a srepresentation in the Court for many years to come. Aly, Justice Harlan took the pince of Judge Davis, an Ulnols man, When he was chosen the South had no representative in the Court, and President Huyos expressed’ desire to give that seetlon a Judge. ‘Pho defiefeney has now been nade good, as Judge Woods, of Cicorgia, has been put in Justlee Strong's pine, and it Is poss{blo and: proper to return to the Illinois Clreult the momberof whieh It was deprived when Justice Varlan was ap: polnted, Ut fs a remarkable fact that President Hayes, who emphasized the prinelpls of dis- trict representation when ha naimlnated Gen, Uarlan, utterly overlooked and IgnoFed it When ho was te choose a successer to Judge Swayne, We do not belleve that tne new President will repeat that act of Injustice, ‘The Seventh Clreult has nearly the sane population as the Sixth or the Obio Circuit.

A nomination will very Mkelybomade with- ina few days, As two-thirds of the legal business of the cirenit In the United States Courts is transacted in Clitcugo, it seems bm- Inently proper that a member of the Chicago Dar should be selected. Two persons have been promiucntly mentioned in this connec: tion, ‘They are Mr, Edward 8, Isham and Mr, dol N, Jewett. Kithor of them would bean irreprorchable nomination, ‘They are both men of the highest character as citizens and Jawyers. ‘Thelr experlence has been varied and extensive, and thelr stand- ing at the Bar Is confessedly very high. The appoiutment of either of these eentlemon would be satisfactory to the Beneh and Bar of Chicago, ant to the great body of eitizons without regard to party. Another person spoken of whose nomination would eause equal satisfaction, espeeially tn the southern and central portions of the State, Is Me. Milton JIny, of Springtleld, whose character and attalnments have given hin more than a local reputation, and who would assuredly be tn ornament te the Bench if ap- pointed. ‘I'he nominationof any one of these three eniinent huvyers would be approved by: the people of this city and State. In the report of the proceedings of the {louse of Representatives of the Ilinols Legislature on Friday last occurred tho fol- lowing paragraphs: . Youngblood, of Frankiln, offered 1 resolution Instructing the Auditor to yo ahead and make tho distribution of. tho school funds on tho basis of the census of 180, 0.8. Cook, of Cook, ophosed tho resolution. He alrendy Hud v bill on the enlendar which pro- posert the distribution in uccordinee with the eensns of a whieh was certainty moro tal to the y the State nt Inrge than the method proposed bi the resolution.
