~ THE RADICAL ROUT Shortcomings of the Adminis- tration Considered. THE ALIEN AND SEDITION LAWS: A Sweeping Defeat of Adams’ Administration. THE PANIC IN 1857 Some Reminiscences in Polit- ical History. ‘A MONITOR FOR THE FUTURE - Welferson’s Views as to a Life-Presidency, with Succession to Heirs, Notaince the surrender of Lee and Johnston, now ‘lose on a decade, has an event occurred in the Mistory of the nation of more moment than the mweeving political revolution accomplished last Muesday. The force of the whirlwind was not confined to any particular section of the Union. Mts effects were felt north, soutn, east and west, ‘and constitutes a new ers, a new starting point, fwhich, it is to be sincerely hoped, will be a har- ‘Dinger of the peace, harmony and unity that long wince should have been established. In what ts to Me stated further on it will be observed that ad- ministrations and Congresses who—some time 4m the enjoyment of power—nhad forgotten that “Shey were the agents and not the masters of the ‘people, used their authority to oppress and foster fdeas of ambition; but in no case, it may be @afely said, has more disregard been manifested @s to the rights of States and citizens than by the chosen and acknowledged jeadera of the ruling administration party. There may be some womparison between the overwhelming defeat of ‘the liberal party in Great Britain in the early part of this year, when Mr. Gladstone suddenly author- fzed a dissolution of Parliament, and the downfall ofthe party that has had control of the destinies ef this country for nearly fourteen years. But Gladstone's Ministry and majority in the House of Commons never assumed the arrogance, the un- fcrupulous Coercive measures, the military raid- ing, the disregard of law and precedent, the fos- tering of a war of races, the patronage and pro- fection of imbecility and corruption in high ana Jow official places and the odium of tho salary @rabs that have marked American politics during the past five or six years, Gladstone’s large ma- jority was changed into an opposition majority equally as strong, but he did not attempt nor ‘would be allowed by the people to make an effort at terrorism and corruption, THE POPULAR DISCONTENT ‘with the present administration has been growing stronger day after day after six years’ experience of General Grant's Presidency. It would be idle to conceal the fact that his pretensions to be elected for a third term have received the stern and un- AMinching opposition of all intelligent and patriotic Citizens North and South, This alone was fully suf- cent to swamp any party before the people sup- porting Genera! Grant, and has been heavily aug- mented by the burdens of nepotism, inconsistent «ilsregard of intelligent popular will, Crédit Mobilter Mrauda, Sanborn contracts, gag law enactments im reference to the press, Ben Butlerism, Custom ‘House trauda, the civil service farce, the scandals of Shepherd and the District of Commbia, the Casey régime in Louisiana, which results in the ‘English government sending a vessel of war to New Orleans on the pretext of protecting the per- gons and property of its citizens (a glaring ‘offence which places, as far as Disraeli can do it, the United States on the basis of she feeblest and least respected of independent Wowers), the cruel treatment of the Southern ‘States, the placing of the military above the civil power, absenteeism from Washington, Mr. Attor- mey General Williams’ decisions, and lastly (for the a dust has to be closed at some point), the financial question, are matters the people deeply resent. It thas been said that the great cause of trouble is ‘the financis! question, and that the revulsion ‘against Grant is only a natural consequence of THE PANIO LAST YEAR, It is further staved that similar sweeping politi- ealchanges have occurred heretofore when the money interests of the country have veen violently and suddenly shaken. The democratic party can- mot be held responsible if mills and factories are stopped or running on half time, and that thou- Bands of laboring men and mechanics have been thrown out ofemployment. The democratic party fas been out of power well on to fourteen years, and during all this time the repub- fMicans have had & triumphant majority in both houses of Congress. The republicans, as Senator Tharman says, have had absolute control over the currency, and they have claimed to be he wisest and Lest financiers the world ever saw, and, therefore, the evils and sufferings of the in- Gustrial classes must be laid at the feet of the Yadical party. While everything was going on in @pparent prosperity, while the wheels of industry ‘were all in motion and every man wes getting good wages, and everything looked bright and eheerfu), and although there was a voicano liable ‘to eruption at any momen‘, and although an earthquake was liable to open under their feet, still the people did not see it, They thought all ywas going well and they gave to the administra- ton the credit for the prosperity of the country, sand in doing that they overlooked the violations ‘of the constitution and of liberty, the viotation o: tthe habits, feelings and instincts of the people, and the assumption of power and misconduct of athe radical rulers. They did not hke +o see mar- ‘tial law proclaimea over eleven States of the Wnion, But THEY SHUT THEIR BYES and said, “Time will redress this.” The country Js prosperous. We ‘will say nothing about these things and correct them in the future. But when fhe country ceased to be prosperous, when the reality of suffering and indebtedness was. brought home to every man’s door, then these men, who had closed their eyes to the violation of the Con- Btitution and of every right of the American people—then these men, who had closed their eyes to the persecution of one-third of the United States, opened their eyes and gave vent to their feelings, and the result has been what is so often called A TIDAL WAVE. ‘The first great political revolution in the history of the country took place soon after the passage Of the Alien‘ and Sedition laws, by which the lib- erty Of the individual, the press and ot free speech ‘were invaded. The body of the people regarded ‘hese laws as intended to encroach on their con- atitutional rights, and when the proper time Fived administered a lesson to the President and Congress a8 severe as that which took place last ‘week. They viewed the abuse of power with indig- mation and unhesitatingly condemned it, It wen ‘the deatn blow to the federal party from which it mever recovered. Other episodes are given here- ‘with bearing directly on the result of the recent elections which possess interest at this moment. THE ALIEN AND SEDITION LAWS, These laws, which became a word of fear and reproach to the popstar. ear in the United States, ‘were passed in 1798 during the administration of Jonn Adams. Their enactment, it has been con- ceded, was the greatest and most fatal error of the federal party, The Alien laws empowered the President to order out of the country such foreign. ere ag he deemed dangerous on pain of heavy nalties; the Sedition acts declared that print- ng or W Le false and malicious charges against the President or Congress, in or to defame them or excite hatred against them, should be deemed et ag ES be hed with fine and Jmoriegnment ‘Thage yi NEW YORK HERALD, M Wohal measures were borrowed from the extra- ordinary spprehension entertained by Great Britain relative to the spread of the revolutionary ‘spirit, and were vainly opposed by the republican party of thatday, Tne country feared a rupture With France, and extraordinary efforts were made tobe ne 3 for the war, woich was thought im-- minent, It is true that there were several thou- sand aliens in the cipal pecan re Irish, English and Dutch—wno were imbu: With the advanced political ideas of the time, and were considered by the federal party to be dan- Bie yespeckice’ co) THSh Wn ines roportions and wi cl wriers. of eat activity of ‘mindy handled Adams and his administration with sever- ity. During his nen party apimosities reached their height, and the Chicf Magistrate ‘Was not tn unison with the age. He was @ pas- sionate, dogmatical and obstinate sort of & man, Allen laws, Sedition laws aud annoying taxes came naturally enough to such a President.

If this goes on we shall immediately gee attempted another act of Congress declaring the President shall continue in office during life, reserving to another occasion of the succession to his heira and the establishment of the Senate for life.” The Alien and Sedition laws were fought ag@ingt with determination by the republicans, who were silenced by the turmoil of the threatened French war. Nothing was left for that party but to make 8n issue On these measures, and even this was tm- possible in Congress, Finding themselves of no use there they determined to resort to the State arenas, and the result was the Kentucky and Vir- ginta resolutions of '98, Jefferson drafted the Ken- tucky declaration, denouncing the obnoxious laws ana intimating @ determination on the part of the State TO PROCEED TO ARMED RESISTANCE, ‘They were followed in Virginia by similar resolu- tions, drawn up by Madison, and calling on the State to maintain their liberties inviolate. The spring of 1799 brought @ revulsion in favor of the republicans, The laws against the preas were the object of the most vehement and bitter attacks, Yoe canvass in 1800 was pushed with the greatest energy. The election in New York was vigorously contested, but terminated in arepublican triumph which extended throughout the Union. The laws did not long remain uprepealed. Their vindictive purposes were clearly manifested by the bill first Introduced, While presiding in the Senate Hamil- ton wrote, “I hope sincerely the thing may not be hurried through, Let us not establish tyranny. Energy 1s a very different thing irom violence. If we wake no jalse step we shall be essentially united; but it we push things to an extreme we shail then give to faction body and solidity.” How- ever, John Adams, long alter he quit the Prest- dency, stated he believed the Sedition laws were “constitutional and salutary, if not necessary.’’ They have ever been, notwithstanding, by-words of popular reproach. THB SALARY QUESTION IN 1817, A striking instance of the peopie of the country rebuking the faithlesaness of their representatives in Congress occurred at the elections of 1816. In the early part of that year a bill was passed ip- creasing tne salaries of members to $1,500 per annum, Tne war with Great Brittain was just over and there Wag much distress in the Northern and Eastern States; the taxes were heavy and busmess much depressed. It was the general opinion that the action of Congress in augment ing their compensation, when retrenchment was most needed, ‘exhibised very little regara for the wellare of the people. Protests came from every quarter—from legislatures, city authorities and from public meetings. 1t was made the leading issue in the campaign, and those who voted for the increase and came forward for re-election, were met with unqnalitied popular opposition, The result was that about seventy candidates who had served in the preceding Congress were badly de- leased; and on the first day of the meeting of Con- gress the Jollowing bills were introduced in both houses providing for the repeal of the obnoxious law. It was removed at once from the statutes in force. THE FINANCIAL PANIC IN 1857, It has been claimed as remarked before, by the organs of the present administration, that invart- ably lollowing a finaneial crisis the party in charge of the national administration suffer by loss of contidence on the part of the people. In fact, some console themselves by attributing the recent republican defeat in every portion of the country ‘vo the commercial crash of jast year. The great monetary collapse of 1857, which extended all over Kurope, occurred during the early part of the fall, when Mr. Buchanan haa been weli on to a year in the Presidential office. Immense meetings of the b mroten ipo were held in this and other cities and vere and widespread destitution ,_ prevalied among the working classes. ‘The New York State election took place im November, 1857, and the democrats swept the fleld. No Governor was elected, but all the other State officers were chosen by majorities averaging 30,000. The demo- erate gatned forty-three members of Assem- bly and eleve: Senators, When Congress met in December toere was a democratic majority of 36 over the republicans in the House oi Repre- sentatives and 10in the Senate. At this time the country was very much disturbed by the Kansas controversy, the Nicaraguan difficulties and the Mormon war. Party \eeling ran exceedingly high on the slavery question, ana it must be stated that there were some indications of a general bolt irom the democratic party, which developed itself three years later by the election of Lincoln. But the financlal smash up had nothing to do with this matter. THE IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT manifested its Jorce trom 1867 to 1859, ‘rhe Know Nothing party haa gained strength in the South- ern States, but it was in the main in sympathy With the democratic party. The Kansas question Was still unsettied.and the gountry generaliy was in & very troubied condition, War raged in Kan- sas and Jonn Brown had actually accom- plished his joolvardy raid on Harper's Ferry. ‘rbirty-sixth Congress met December 4, two days after Brown was hanged. The democratic mem- bers of the House of Representatives numbered 92; republicans, 113; native Americans (Southera Opposition), 23; anti-Lecompton, % The republi- cans lacked six votes to effect an organization, bus it was thought that the Soutnern opposition would unite with the democrats. A prolonged contest, extending over two months, for the Speakership took place. John Sherman, of Obio, ‘was supported by the republt and came at one time within two votes of being chosen. Finally William Pennington (republican), of New Jersey, was elected, The Senate, however, still retained a working democratic majority of tweive, but it was the first time tn a great many years that the House o1 Representatives came under op- position control, Two days after the meeting of Congress in 1867 there was @ municipal election in New York. The candidates were Fernando Wood, Havemeyer (the present incumbent) ana George Opdyke. Wood, who was the representative of of conservative sentiment, was elected. Have- meyer, was the impersonation of the Buffaio anti-slavery crusade of 7348, and Opdyke was at that early day the avowed champion of the same idea in its more modern form of republicanism. The latter stood lowest on the polling lists. The result in this city was Tegarded as an expression of opinion in favor of the Union, peace Sue of the country gud @ defence of the rights of the South. THE SECESSION MOVEMENT, The second session of the Thirty-sixth Congress met a year tater. The wild schemes of the South- ern leaders had ed @ elimax in consequence of the election of Lincoln, They were determined upon breaking up the Union. No secret was made of their intentions. The representatives of the rebellious Commonwealths resigned their seats one after the other until boch houses remained under the control of the republicans, and tne war ‘Was vigorously prosecuted by the North. The late Mr. Seward introduced @ resolution into the Sen- ate reciting that the Legisiatures of Kentucky, New Jersey and Illinois had proposed amend- ments to the constitution to the other States, and requesting that the subject be taken in consideration accordance with the fifth article of the constitution. Fer- nando Wood introduced a resolution to the same effect, but no positive action was taken in either case, The present great defeat of the republican party proves that popular patience is exhausted with its continued blunders and its indifference to public opinion. The organization suffers such a reverse that leaves it helpless and ina path that leads, unless some remarkable change takes place, w vod aa ‘The revolt against par:y control is complete. THE RESULTS. After looking at the returna in the Congres- sional districts, woich show @ majority of nearly eighty, which will certainly be increased by the elections to be held next year in Caliiornia, Con- necticat, Missieaipyt and New Hampshire perha: to ninety, the result is certainly astonishing. The Senators to be elected by democratic Legisiatares will, probably, reduce the republican majority to nine or ten, which may be overcome two years hence. One cannot fall observing that the hour Of retribution, which at length has arrived, will prove @ stern monitor for the future. It must certainly teach the President and is = advisers tO respect, even at this ve date, the tatellgence and integrity lat of @ sovereign people. moreover, @ trath that history hag. thousand times repeated, 4hat those who seek to destroy a nation’s welfare are generally first to fall victims to what they themselves have done. President $ could easily have avoided the fate that in- | bly lies before him, A proper respect for the common welfare, North a8 weil ag south, and even a decent regard to administer the govern- ment intrusted to him ought to have admonished him to avoid the errors into which he has fallen, Bewildered for 4 time 1! popular adulation, he foolishly imagined that the people were in the frame of mind to relinyuish anything that execu- tive ambition might require. The intuitive sa- gacity, gO oxtensively attributed to him seems to ave taken leave of his mind when the tdea of a third term took possessien of it. Deluded by the notion that the Democratic party was hopelessly without vigor or without hoid on the confidence of the masses of the people, President Grant and his party find themselves repudiated at present and witnongs hayes for the f0\ure, THE NEW DEAL. The. Appointments To Be Made by the Democratic Governor and Mayor. THE HEADS OF CITY DEPARTMENTS. How a Clean Sweep May Possibly Be Made. Political Changes That Are Certain in the Police, Tax, Fire, Dock, Health and Park Commissions, Tnere are three classes in the community who @re just now rather nervous over the results of the late election in this city and State. Tne drat ig made up of the “ins.” who are afraid that in a lew weeks they may be classified among the “outs ;” the second of the, “outs,”? who have often Deen the “ins’? in the past, and who want to be among the “ins” just once more; the third—a very large class, by the way—of those who have never enjoyed the felicity of drawing their pay from the public treasury, but who have been dreaming ever since the 4th inst of the snuggeries they feel certain they, and they alone, are competent to mil to tne satisfaction of the dear public, nos to say anything about the benefits they expect must naturally and rightfully accrue to themselves and their intimate friends and their in- timate friends’ relations, As a matter of course one of these classes, as 9 whole or in great part, must be disappointed in the jong run; ana next January the unsophisticated need not be astonished if they hear that the thousand and one dear devoted admirers of the new Powers that Be, who now find words inadequate to express their love and esteem for Mr. Tilden and Mr, Wickham, have come to the conclusion that the successfa, candidates have all of a sudden been discovered to be rather BELOW THE ORDINARY STANDARD of governors and mayors, and that the man com- mitted a fearful biunder who first suggested them a8 worthy of the suffrages of the great and frea people of this great and free city and State. It is equally certain, however, that the gentlemen who are to take hold of the reins of government on New Years’ Day at Albany and in Gotham will by that time have learned a few lessons from a close study of the experiences of their prede- cessors, and that they will have no qualms of conscience whatever when they are cornered and told that Tom, Dick and Harry were given the very places that were promised to three very different persons long before election day. They will doubtless console themselves, will these heartless victors, with the thought that what has been done, and with great success, year alter year by reformers and others who always had the people’s welfare at heart more’ than any- thing else they ever talked or read about, can be as well done in the present day of general reforma- tion as it ever was in 4 THE DARK AGES OF THE RING and ring regulations, “Do you know,” sald a representative of the people’s good a few years ago, when he was called upon by an ardent ad- mirer to whom he had given his promise that in case of his election a certain snug berth would be awarded him; ‘do you know," said he, “before election 1 had an idea that the loaves and fishes I would have at my disposal after election would go round among all my friends. But I found right after election that kcouldn’t perform a miracle; so as I couldn’t put ten pegs in one hole Ionly put one, and that peg, 'm sorry to say, wasn’t you.” This little story the new authorities certainly know by heart by this time, and of the hungry multitude who now believe the loaves and fishes will be sufficient to go all round, it is certain that very many of them will be saddened to hear their iate dealt out in words of one of the wise men of the past:—‘As [ couldn’t put ten pegs in one hole 1 only put one, and I’m sorry that peg wasn’t you.? THE STATE CRUMBS OF COMFORT, Somehow or other the impression seems to prevail among not only thé aspirants for place, po- sition and comfort in the city and State, but also among many others, that the election of a demo- cratic Governor and & democratic Mayor has opened the doors to an immense patronage; that, 10 fact, all the new powers have to dois to say “Go,” and all the republican officeholders will at once, like the hoosier cavalrymen, “git up and git,” with tears in theirf eyes. This is a very erroneous impression, as a knowl- edge of the true aituation of affairs wilt convince even the most sceptical Thomas among the office grabbers. itshould be borne in mind that while it is true that the democrats have elected a Governor and have @ large majority of the members of the lower house of the Legisia- ture, thus securing on joint bailot the nomination of @ democratic United States Senator in place of Mr. Fenton, this success by no means gives them control of the Legislature, much less of the paying State offices ry which vacancies will occur during the coming ear; for there is not a single office of the slightest importance in the gift of the Governor which the Senate will not have a say about, and this Senate stands eighteen republicans to fourteen democrats. Thus it will be seen every appointment of the new Governor before becoming valid bas to be con- firmed by the Senate. Of course there are a few exceptions to this. There are, ip the first place, the offices of the Adjutant General and the other MEMBERS OF THE PERSONAL STAFP of the Governor and the secretaries and clerks in his office, Of these the Commissary General of Ordnance alone must be appointed “by and with the consent of the Senate.” The Commissary General of Ordnance, the Adjutant General, In- spector General, Quartermaster General ‘and Pay- master General rank aa brigadier generals, and are entitled to assistants and the rank of colonel. ‘The salary of eacu is $2,400 and of the assistants $1,800, The other members of the staf are the Judge Advocate General, Surgeon General and Engineer-iu-Chief, who rank as brigadiers; 80, even if no pay is attached to either position, Governor len can easily gratify the ambition of some three of his {riends in civil life, who will not, despite their Feces pursuits, be called out of their name in the distant future when saluted as general. There is an erroneous impresssion among some people that phe lection of Mr. Tilden gives him a certain control éver the patron: connected with the canals, whereas tt is the Canal Board which has the exclusive 4 eer of thig patronage, such as the appo! pment of the superintendents, collectors of tolls, inspect ors, Weighmasters, &o, It is composed of the Lieutenant Governor, the Secretary of State, the Comptrolier, the Treasurer, the Attorney General and the three Canal Commissioners. With the ex- ception of the Comptroller, the Board will be en- tireiy democratic for the coming year; but as the democrats had a working majority in it last year tt is not likely that any great change will be made doring 1875. At allevents, the new Governor will ‘bave nothing to do with the dispensing of this patronage. The Governor, during the coming year, will have but very few appointments to make even by and with the con- sent of the Senate, The most important are the eleven harbor masters, the port wardens, the Captain of the Port and the Superintendent of In- rance, in place of Mr, Chapman. The only other ppointments, besides the notaries public, are one State Assessor in April and @ Superintendent of Weights and Measures. The fact that all the offices of Moment that are to be filled will require the confirmation of the Senate, it will be neces- sary, in the opinion of many, for the new Gover- nor to do A LITTLE RESPECTABLE LOG-ROLLING, in order to get his appotntees confirmed. Other- wise, if he should enueavor to have bis own way io ae to them all, the majority of the Senate would be certain to get its party back up. If, how- ever, two of the Senators who were elected as lib- erais by the aid of democratie votes, and two of the regular republicans should be ag independent as they pretend to be, they mignt possibly make the Governor's path somewhat smoother than his friends expect it to be, The chances of anything like thia happening, however, are very siim, 80 for as measures are concerned that will be made Rey, questions. It is rather too carly now to speculate as to the probability of the Senate that will succeed the present 01 being democratic. At ea tate it may be of terest to many aspirants to know that in Januar, 1876, & large number of positions will become vacant and are to be filled by the Governor, by and with the consent of the Senate; and a demo- cratic Senate would, under the circumstances, fll the democratic oMce-hanters’ souls with joy in- expressible; such, for tustance, who hanker alter the offices of Canal Auditor, Canal Appraiser, Sa- , perintendent of the Banking Department and Su- perintendent of Public Instruction. THE NEW MAYOR'S APPOINTMENTS Qre certainly not as numerong aa the numerous ONDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1874.—TRIPLE SHEET. patriots wno are ready to serve him in an city that will pay well and cail tor very little work ‘ne they are. It isa mistaken idea with some of the office-seekers that be can do pretty much ag he pleases 1p ousting everybody that ia @ Te- publican in any important position in tue depart- ments, or that he bas the sole appointing power under the charter of the various memvers and heads of departments. It will be remembered that, as it Was passed in 1873, the power of appointment of the heads of Aapartnenes was vested in the Mayor and ard of Aldermen. This re‘erred to the filling of vacanctes as Well as to the appointment of heads of depart- ments fora jull term. Tne amendment of 1874 eumply changed the power of appointment go thas the confirmation of the Aluermen was not ired when vacancies were 10 be filled. It 1s undenta- ble, however, that the new Mayor and the new Governor, by acting in concert, could, under the charter, make very short work o1 every depart- Tent member who is a republican, and whose term does not expire during the year 1875. If they should do 80 the victiins would only have their Own party to thank for their misiortune, as the re- ‘publican charter tinkers of 1873 in putting into the charter the clause that all persous appointed ac- cording to the provisions of the celebrated twenty. Hlth section might be removed “for cause,” subject to the approval 01 the Governor,’ aidjso because the Governor was @ republican andthe Mayor could not be relied on, ana no one contd tell, as one of the Senators aptly remarked during ‘the debate over it, “when he might get his Dutch up.” If, therefore, Mayor Wickham should find “cause’—and by the charter he and the Governor are made the svie jnages of what may be considered a cause, to remove heads of de- Partments, and the Governor shonid indorse his Action with what the charter calls bis approval, the republican engineers will be HOIST BY YHEIR OWN PRTARD. So it will le, paraelzed that the republicans who laugh at the idea of the democrats geting full con- trol of the departments and point to the fact of the State Senate being republican a8 @ proof that any democratic attempt to pass a bill to change the charter to suit their views will come to naught, do not really know what they are laughing about, for so long as the democratic Mayor and a democratic Governor can remove the Commissioners ‘lor cause’? no additional legislation will be necessary to make a new deal all round, Mr. Wickham, it will be remembered, nas already stated that in the matter of the appointments bo will have to make he is UNDER NO PLEDGE TO ANYBODY. While this would seem to imply that he tntends, regardless of the politictans, to appoint men who will have the confidence of the public, yet it is pots. certain, judging from nis speech at the’ lanhatian Club, that, in the belief that “the democratic party should be held respon- sibje jor the good government of the city,’’ none but the faithiul will be invited to the feast, once the banquet hall 18 opened. His Jriends assert that his choice will fall upon men of mark and of high character and that the citizens generally will not, the day after the appointments are made, be obliged to rummage in vain through the directories either of the present day or the days when Havemeyer last saw the Harlem River, to find out who they are, what they are, where they came irom and why they were born atall. And just here it may be of mterest to the public generally to know that before the “ior cause” removals begin—il they ever do begin—there will be vacancies in certain depart- ments to be filled by the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen. The Police Commission now stands one republican, one democrat and two Havemeyerites. POLICE COMMISSIONERS, Next May General Duryee’s term expires and a democrat wil) succeed him if he should not, as he will probably not, be his own successor. In tne following May another vacancy will occur by Dis- becker’s term expiring. TAX COMMISSIONERS, The Tax Department now stands two republi- cans and one democrat, and the Fire Department ts thegame. In May Mr. Wickham will have the appointment of a Commissioner in Mr. Moulton’s piace, thus making the department stand two democrats to one republican. FIRE COMMISSIONERS, Mr. Van Cott’s term as Fire Commissioner ex pires at the same time, and a democrat n his piace will give the democrats a majority. DOCK AND HEALTH COMMISSIONERS, One vacaucy will occur in May also in the Dock and Health Departments—Commissioner Budd and Commissioner Smith’s respective terms expiring then. The appointment of democrats in their places will give the democrats 4 majority in each oar PARK COMMISSIONERS. Mr. Stewart’s term as Park Commissioner ex- pires also in May; but the appointment of a demo- crat will possibly only make a tie in the Board, Stebbins being a republican, Williamson a demo- crat and Bissinger “not certain” in the opinion of the calculators. THE COMMISSIONERS OF CHARITIES, Myer Stern will go out of the Department of Charities and Correction, but the Board will, with the new appointee, still be republican, THE “CENTENNIAL” SWEEP, If the Legislature should not interiere with the charter in the meanwaile, Mr. Wickham, dur- ing the last year of nis term of office (1876), will nave the appointment of another Police Commissioner, the three Excise Commissioners, one Park Commissioner, and should the “for cause” not come into play before November, 1875, the present Corporation Counsel, Commissioner of Public Works and Comptroller will walk the plank then, The patronage the Mayor has to dispense this year, in which his office is immediately con- cerned, is very meagre. It consists simply of his personal clerks, five or six in namber; seven or eight clerks in the Permtt Bureau, and thirty-six city marshals. The scvool inspectors a: members of the Board of Education will not be jointed till late mn 1875, One of the first acts of Mr. ickham will doubtl+ss be the appotutment of commissioners of accounts, in ;place of the two gentlemen recently appointed by Mr. Havemeyer. WATCH AND PRAY. From now until next January the expectant as- pirants for office may as well hold their soulsin atience, a8 Mr. Wickham’s motto is, ‘Festina ente;’? and, profiting by the peculiar way of doing things adopted by his predecessor, he will, doubtless, look well before he Jeaps, and then not leap in the dark. THE POLITICAL GUILLOTINE. A General Docapitation at the Boston Navy Yard and Custom House—Over a Thousand Headless Trunks Scattered Over the Battle Grounds of Massachu- setts. Boston, Nov, 14, 1874. ‘There is @ revolution of no small magnitude go- ingon here in Boston just now. Yesterday and to-day there has been @ grand cleaning out of the now useless voters and workmen in the Navy Yara and Custom House, and a general indigna- tion is the result, Not only the deposed are grumbling, but in the whole community there is a feeling which will certainly not help to restore the republican party to its former power and prestige mm this vicinity. A whole brigade has been suddenly and almost simultaneously discharged—ten or eleven hundred from the Navy Yard and apout fiity from the Cus- tom House. 4 FEW WEEKS BEFORE ELECTION, when it became apparent that General Banks was @ dangerous competitor against Mr. Gooch for Congress, the influence of the Administration to promote the election of the latter was every- where most actively employed, All the powerful stump orators at command were imported into the district, including among the most notable suchas Speaker Blaine, Uongressman Frye and General Hale, of Maine; General Harriman, of New Hampshire, and even General Butler and Mr. Dawes. AS the campatgn progressed matters assumed @ More serious aspect, and at length the most desperate measures were resorted to in order to save the district to Mr. Gooch. It was suddenly discovered that the old Vandalia and sev- eral other unfinished war vessels at the Navy Yard ought to be finished ap, and over 1,000 men, ‘all voters in the district, were put to work at once. it was given out at the time that the employment thus farnished would be reasonably permanent, but as the campaign progressed the fact leaked out that, as shings wore, reg on, the appropriation for the Boston yard would soon be exhausted, and then everything would be at @ standstill, This,as may be expected, nad the effect of creating a reactionary feeling among the men who bad been so recently employed, and nearly all of them voted for General ks and against Mr. Gooch when election da: me around. Tnus it WSs that the very means employed to per- petuate the present incumbent’s Congressional career were the means of securing his defeat, To deny that the men were EMPLOYED FOR ELECTION PURPOSES is useless, for On the very day aiter the election the work of discharging was commenced and con- tinued regulsriy ap to yesterday, when the whole Growd ol over 1,000 were turned out at once. What is still worse, the money appropriated for the maintenance of the yard has all been paid to these voters, and the regular force of workmen, who would have been employed during the win- ter, are aiso thrown out of employment, and they see nothing but want and suffering ahead. ven the faithful of the republican Fold unite in denouncing this shameful abuse of government ronage, and i learn that there will be an effort e le vo secure an investigation. They cannot callit“Botlerism” in this case, fort am knowing to the fact that during the whole cam- palgn jeneral Sutier only recommended two men r the Navy Yard. . THR BROOM AT THR CUSTOM HOUSE is sweeping pretty clean, too, since the election. About fity went ont to-day, and consequently there 18 much weeping an wailing at the toot of State street. Mr. Simmons commenced arranging for his weeding out very goon aiter assuming tho oMice of Collector, but he found it conveniently feasible to keep the most of the men emphyed until after election. It has not anywhere been shown but what the young man has administered the affairs of the Custom Honse very aatisiactorily | thus far, and by his retorms he claims te have re- Guced the expenses to an amount of over $50,000 capa- | Jess sod r annum than woes were under Troge Russell, his predecessor. Notwith- Standing ail these circumstances in Dis behalf the blue blvods of Beacon Hil don’t believe in him, and since the defeat of Butler, his chief, they have cpmamaniced efforts which may eventually cause some of his communicatio: with the Treasury Department Mr. ~ went out of his Way to reflect upon bi predecessor, and when the correspondence was made pubiic ft chilled the affection of some who had heretojore been tue Oollector’s warmest friends, and this act alone may Pepe d send him to private Ile. Judge Kus- Ll, the object of Mis attack, is in a foreign coun- ty, and when his deience of Simmons’ charges arrive the preasure for bis resignation is more than likely to be such that he cannot weil resist it, But while he does stay he 1s bound to live up to the mosto of “retrenchment and reform.” in tact, U have it irom good authority that the investigation has already been iuttiated, aud thas telegrams are fying rapid and numerous between ‘the omciais of the yard and the Navy Department at Washington. Tue expendit during the campaign were go eXtraordinary and reckless that it is now almust impossible to determine where the money went to. The old and regular empioyéa are so clamorous and loud spoken that the yard authorities as well as the adminis- tration are looking around to see what they can do about reinstating them. It 19 estimated that no less than $70,000 of the yard’s junds was used up to procare the election of Mr. Gooch, the amount now remaining on hand wo carry on the yard wiil permit only of en expenditure of about $500 er day to vhe end of the fiscal year—June 30. This sum will onty afford employment to about 150 men against over 1,500 who were employed before the election, with tue understanding that they would not be disturbed until next summer. The discharged meno are thronging the streets of Chariestown two-day, and their denunciations of the treachery Ol the administration are joud and bitter.
