} ae NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, AUGUST & 1876. “DEMOCRACY. {CONTINUED FROM FIFTH PAGE.] and veracity. His offer of a new promise or bis pro- fossion as to the value of the old promise would alike provoke derision, BESUMPTION PLAN OF THE ST. LOUIS PLATFORM. The St. Louis platiorm denounces the failure tor eleven years to make good the promise of the legal tender notes. It denounces the omission to accumu- late “any reserve for their redemption.” It denounces the conduct --whieh, during eleven years of peace, has made no advances toward resumption, no pre- tions for resumption, but i has ol structed resumption by wasting our resources and exhausting all our surplus income; and, While professing to intend a speedy return to specie | Payments, has annually enacted fresh hindrance thereto.” And haying first denounced the barren- ness of the promise of a day of resumption, it next | denounces that barren promise as a “hindrance” to re- | sumption. It then domands its repeal and also demands the establishment of ‘a judicious system of prepara- | tion” for resumption. It cannot be doubted that the stitution of “a system of preparation’? without the promise of a day, for the worthless promise of a day without “a system of preparation’? would be the in of the substance of resumption in exchange for its shadow. Nor is the denunciation unmerited of that improvi- dence which, in the eleven years since the peace, has fonsuined $4,500,000,000, and yet could not afford to Blve the people a sound and stable curreney. Two and whbalf per cent on the expenditures of these eleven years, or even less, would have provided all the addi- tonal coin neediul to resumption. RELIEF TO BUSINESS DISTERSS, The distress now felt by the people tn all their bust- Bess und industries, though it has its principal cause in the enormous waste of capital occasioned by the falso polictes of our government, has been greatly aggravated by the mismanagement of the currency. Uncertainty Is tho prolific parent of mischiefs in ali business, Never were its evils more felt than now. Men do oothing because they are unable to make any catcula- Hons on which they can safeiy rely, They undertake nothing because they fear a loss in everything they would attempt. They stop and wait, The merchant dares not buy for the future consumption of bis customers, The manufacturer dare: bot =mako fabrics which may not refund his outlay, fe shuts his factory and discharges his workmen, Capitalists cannot lend money on security they consider safo, and their funds ho almost without Interest, Men of enterprise who havo credit, or secu- | tities to pledge, will not borrow, Consumption has | fallen below the natural limits of a reasonable economy. Prices of many things are under the range in fragal, specie paying times betore the civil war, Vast masses of currency lie in tho banks unused, A year and a half ago the logal tenders were ut their largest volume, and the $12,000,000 since retired have beon replaced by fresh issues of $15,000,000 of bank notes, In the Meantime the banks bave been surrendering about $4,000,000 a month, because they cannot find a profit- able use for so many of their notes. The public mind will no longer accept shams, It has suffered enough from illusions. An insincere policy increaros distrust. An unstable policy ineroases un- certainty. The poople necd to know that the govern- ment is moving in the direction of ultimato safety and prosperity, and thatit is doing so through prudent, | safe and servative methods, which will be sure to inflict ay new sacrifice on the business of the country. | Then the inspiration of new hope and well founded con- | fidence will husten tho restoring processes of nature, and prosperity will begin to return. | The St. Louis Convention concindes its expression in regard to the currency by a declaration of its convic hons as to the practical results of the system of prepa- | tations it demands. It says:- -"We believe such a sys- inst tein, well devised, and, above all, intrasted fo competent hands for execution, creating at no tims an artificial scarcity of currency, | and at no time alarming the public mind into a withdrawal of that = vasier = ma. chinery of credit “by which ninety-five per cent of all business transactions aro porformod—a sys- tem open, public and inspiring general confidence would from the day of ‘ts adoption bring healing on its wings to all our parassed industries, set in motion tho wucels of commerce, manufactures and the me- chanic arts, restore employment to labor, and renew in all its natural sources the prosperity of the peo- ple.” The government of tho United States, in my opinion, tan advance to a resumption of specie payments on its legal tender notes by gradual and safe processes tend- Ing to roileve the present business distress. If charged by the people with the administration of the Executive office, 1 should deem it a duty so to exercise the powers with which it has been or may be invested by Congress as best and soonest to conduct the country to that beneficent result. CIVIT, SERVICE REFORM, The Convention jnstiy affirms that reform is neces- sary in the civil service, necessary to its purification, | necessary to its economy and its efficiency, necessary | in order that the ordinary employment of tho public business may not be “a prize fought for at the ballot | box, a brief reward of party zeal instead of posts of honor assigned tor proved competency, and held for fidelity in the public employ.” The Convention wisely | addeq that “reform is necessary even more in tho higher grades of the public service, President, Vico President, Judges, Senators, Representatives, Cabinet officers, these and all others in authority are the peo- ple’s servants Their offices are not a private per- quisite; they aro a public trast.” Two evils invest the official service of the federal government, Ono is the prevalent and demoralizing notion that th lie service exists not for the business and bene- | n- vi the whole people, but for the interest of the offic holders, who are in truth bat the servants of the peo- ple. Under the influence of this pernicions error pub- lic employments have been multiplied, the numbers of those gathered into the ranks of oilice-holders have been steadily increased beyond any possibie require- ment of the public business, while inefficiency, pecula- Mon, fraud and malversation of the public funds, from | the high places of power to tho lowest, have over- spread the whole service like a leprosy. ‘The other evil is the organization of the oMetal class intoa body of political mercenaries, governing the | caucuses and dictating the nominations of their own party, and attempting to carry the elections of the peopie by undue influence and by immenso corruption subde systematically collected from the salaries or fees of oifice-holters, Tho official class in other countries, | sometimes by 118 own Weight and sometimes in alliynee / with the army, has beon able to rule the unorganized | masses even under universal suffrage, Hore, it hos | already grown into a gigantic power capable of stifling | the inspirations of a sound public opinion, and of re- | | | | | | sisting an casy change of administration, until mis- government becomes intolerable and public spirit has Been stung to the pitch of a civic revolution. The first step in reform is the elevation of the standard by which the appointing power selects agents to exceute official trusts, Next in importance is a con. | acientious fidelity in the exercise of the authority to hold to account and displace untrustworthy or in- capable subordinates. The public interest in an honest, skiliul performance of official trast must not be sacri- ficed to the usufruct of the incumbents, After these immediate steps, which will insure the exhibition of better examples, we may wisely go on to tlie abolition of unnecessary offices, and, finally, to the | patient, careful organization of a better civil Forvice system, under the tests, wherever practicable, of proved competency and Aaeity. While much may be accomplished by these methods, ft might encourage deiusive expectations if I withheld bere the expression of my conviction that no reform of the civil service in this country will be complete and permanent until its chief magistrate ts constitutionally disqualified for re-election; experionce having ro peatedly exposed the futility of self-imposed restric tops by candidates or incumbents. Through this‘ solemnity only can he ve effectually delivered from his greatest temptation to misuse the power and patronage with which the Executive is necessarily charged. CONCLUSION. Educated inthe belief that itis the Orst duty of a eltizen of the Republic to take his fair allotment of tare and trouble in public affairs, I bave, for forty years, aaa private citizen, fultiiied that duty, Though uceupied in an unusual degree during ail that period with the concerns of government, I have never acquired the habit of official life, When, 0 year anda ball ago, | joteo that the .Convention at | ers havo bee | man can amend it, entered upon my present trust, it was in order to con- } has prostituted his office to the purposes of partisan summate reforms to which I had already devoted several of the best years of my life. Knowing as I do, theretore, from fresh experience how great the difference 1s between gliding through an official routine and working outa reform of systems and policies, it is Impossible for me to contemplate what needs to be done in the federal administration without ‘an anxtous senso of the diMlcutties of the undertaking. If aum- moned by the suffrages of my countrymen to attempt this work, I shall endeavor, with God’s help, to be the efficient instrument of their will. SAMUEL J TILDEN. To General Jonx A. McCienvaxp, Chairman; General W. B. Frayxuix, Hon. J. J. Annort, Hon. HJ. Sraxnorst, Hon, H. J. Renrimiy, Hon. F. , Lrox and others, Committee, &c. GOVERNOR HENDRICKS’ LETTER. Inptanarouis, July 24, 1876, GxxTiNMEN—I hove the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication, im whieh you have formally notified me of my nomination by tho Na- | tional Democratic Convention at St. Louis as their candidate for the office of Vico President of the United States. It is a nomination which I had neither expected nor desired, and yet recognize ond appreciate the high honor dono me by the Convention. The choice of such a bouy, | pronounced with such unusual unanimity, and accom- Panied with so generous an expression of esteem and confidence ought to outweigh all merely personal ae- sires and preferences of my own, 16 is with this feel ing, and 1 trust also from a deep sense of public duty, that I shall now accept the nomination, and shall abide the judgment of my countrymen. It would have beep impossible for me to accept the nom:nation if I could not heartily indorse the platform of the convention, 1 am gratified, therefore, to be able unequivocally to deciare that I agree in the privet ples, approve the policies, and sympathize with the Purposes enunciated in that plaiform, TUR STANDARD OF REFORM, The institutions of our country bave been sorcly tried by the exigencies of civil war, and, sinco the peace, by selfish and corrupt management of public afiairs, which has shamed us before civilized man- kind. By unwise and partial legislation every in- dustry and interest of the people have been made to suffer, and in the Executive departments of the government dishonesty, rapacity, and venality have debauched the puble service, Men known to be unworthy have been promoted, while others have been degraded for fidelity to official duty. Public office bas been made the means of private profit, and the coun- try has been offended to sce a ciass of inen who bonst the friendship of the sworn protectors of the state amassing fortunes by deirauding the public treasury and by corrupting the servants of the people. In such a crisis of the history of the country I re- St. Louis has #0 nobly raised the standard of reform Nothing can be well with us or with our affairs until the public con- science, shocked by tho enormous evils and abuses which prevail, shall have demanded and compelled an unsparing reformation of our national administration, “in its head and in its members’? In such a reformation the removal of a single officer, even the President, is comparatively a irifling matter, if the system which ho represents, and which has fos- tered him as he has fostered it, is suffered to remain, The President alone must not be made the scapegoat for the enormitics of the system which infects the pub- lic service and threatens the destruction of our institu- tions. In some respects I hold that the present Execu- tive has been the victim, rather than the author, of that vicious system. Congressional and party lead- stronger than the President. No ono man could have created it, aud the removal ot no one It is thoroughly corrupt, and must be swept remorsclessly away by the celection of agov- ernment composed of elements entirely now, and | pledged to radical reform, The first work of reform must evidently bo the restoration of the normal operation of the constitution of the United States, with all its amendments, The necessities of war cannot be pleaded in a time of peace, The right of local self-government, as guaranteed by the constitution of the Union, must be everywhere restored, and the centralized (almost personal) impe- ralism which has been practised must be done away or the first principles of the Republic will be lost. REPEAL OF THE RESUMYTION CLAUSE, Our financial system of expedionts must be reformed, Gold and silver aro the real standards of valuca, and our national currency will not be a perfect medium of exchange until it shall be convertible at the pleasure of the holder. As 1 have heretofore said, no one de- sires a return to specie ments more earnestly than I do; bat I do not believe that it will or can be reached in barmony with the interests of the people by artificial measures for the contraction oy the currency, any more than I believe wealth or por- ‘nanent prosperity can be created by an inflation of the currency. The laws of finance can not be disregarded with impunity. The financial policy of the govern- ment, if, indeed, it deserves the name of policy at all, has been in disregard of those laws, and therefore has disturbed commercial and business confidence a8 well as hindered a return to specie payments, Ono feature of that policy was the sumption clause of the act of 1875, which has em- barrassed the country by the anticipation of a compul- sory resumption for which no preparation has been made, and without any assurance that it would be practicable, The repeal of that clause is necessary that the natural operation of financial laws imag be restored, that the business of the country may be relioved from its disturbing and depressing infla- ence, and thata return to specio payments may be facilitated by the substitution of wiser and more pra- dent legisiation, which shall mainly rely on a judicious system of public economies and official retrenchments, and, above all, on the promotion of prosperity in ali the industries of the people. RESUMPTION A RACKWARD STEP, Ido not understand the repeal of the resumption clause of the act of 1875 to be a backward step in our return to specie payment, but the recovery of a false step; and although the repeal may, for a time, be pre- vented, yet the determination of the democratic party on this subject has now been distinctly declared, There shouid be no hindrances put in the way of are- turn to specie payments, ‘As such a hindrance,” v8 the platform of the St, Louis Convention ‘we de- nounce the resumption clause of 1875, and demand its repeal.” I thoroughly believe that by public economy, by | official retrenchments, and by wise fluauce enabling us to accumulate the precious metals, resumption; at an carly period, 1s possible without produemg an “artificial scarcity of currency”? or disturbing public or commer- cial credit; and that these reforms, togethor with tho restoration of pure government, will restore general confidence, encourage the usefn! investment of capital, furnish employment to labor and relieve the country from the “paralysis of hard times.” With the imdustries of the peoplo there have been frequent intertorences, Our platform truly says that many industries have been impoverished to subsidize afew. Our commerce has been degraded to an interior position on the high seas, manutactures have been di- minished, agriculture has been embarrassed, and the distress of the industrial classes demands that these | things shail be reformed, ‘The burdens of the pr jo must also be lightened by Agreat change in our system of public expenses. The profligate expenditures which increased taxation from $5 per capita in 1860 to $18 tal tells ita own story of our need of fiscal reform. THE CHINESE QUESTION. Oar treaties with foretgn powers should also be re- viedd and amended in so far as they leave citizens of foreign birth in any particular less secure in any conn- try on earth than they would be if they had been born upon our own soil; and the iniquitous coolic system which, through the agency of wealthy companies, im- ports Chinese bondmen and establishes a spectes of Javory and interferes with the just rewards of lavor on ir Pacific coast should be utterly abolished, CIVIL SRVICR REFORM In the reform of our civil servico I most heartily in- dorse that section of the platform which declares that the civil service ought not to be “sulyect to change at every election,” and that it ought not to bo made “the brief reward of party zeal,” but ought to bo awardca for proved competency, and held tor fidelity inthe public employ. I hope never again to seo tho cruet’ and remorseless proscription political opinions which has disgraced the administration of the last eight years Bad as the civil service now is, as all Know, it has some men of tried integrity and proved ability. Stich men, and such men only, should be retained in office; but no man should be retained on any consideration who for | intimidation oF compulsion, or who has tufnished money to corrupt the elections, This 1s done and has been done in almost every courty of the land, itis a blight upon the morals of the countr; id ought to be reformed, THY COMMON SCHOOLS. Of sectional contentions and in respect to our com- mon schools I have ouly this to say—that, in my judg- ment, the mau or party that would involve oar schools in political or sectarian controversy 18 an enemy to the schools, The common schools are safer under the protecting care of all the people’ than under the control of any party or sect. They ® rust be neither sectarian nor partisan, and there must be neither division nor misappropriation of the funds for their support, Likewise I regard the man who would arouse or foster sectional antmosities and antagonisms among his countrymen as a dangerous enemy to his country. THE STRIPR OF RACH AND COLOR, All the people must be made to feel and know that once more there is establisned a purpose and policy under which all citizens of every condition, race and color will be secure im the enjoyment of whatever rights the constitution and laws declare or recognize; and that in controversies that may arise the govern- ment is not a partisan, but, within its constitutional authority, the just and powerful guar the rights and safety of all. The strife between the sections and between races will cease as soon as the power for evilis taken away froma party that ma political gain out of scenes of violence and bloodshed, and the constitutional authority 18 placed in the hands of men whose political welfare. requires thut peace and good order shall be preserved overywhere. A COMPLIMENT TO GOVERNOR TILDEN, It will be seen, gentlemen, that I am in entire accord with the platiorm of the Convention by which I have been nominate us a candidate for the oilice of Vice President of the United States, Permit me, in conclusion, to express my satisfaction at being asso- ciated with a candidate for the Presidency who ts first among his equals as a representative of the spirit and of the achiovements of reform. In his official career as the Executive of the great State of New York, be has, in a comparatively short period, re- ormed the public service and reduced the public bur- dens so as to have earned at once tho gratitude of his State and the admiration ‘of the country. The people know him to be thoroughly in carnest; be has shown himseif to be possessed of powers and qualittes which fit him, in an eminent degree, for the great work of reformation which this country now needs: and if he shail be chosen by the people to the high office o President of the United States, I believe that the day of his inauguration will be the beginning of @ new era of peace, purity and prosperity in ail departments of our government, 1am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, THOMAS A, HENDRICKS. To the Hon. Jonx A. McCierxaxp, Chairman, and others of the Committee of the National Democratic Convention. TILDEN AND HENDRICKS AT SARATOGA—RE- sunt oy fax CONFERENCE—THE GENENAT, IMPRESSION AS TO THE LETIERS—OPINIONS OF MURAT HALSTEAD AND SAM BOWLES— “THR HOPE OF REAL REFORM IS WITH TU- DEN.” Sanatoca, August 4, 1876, Thero Is a feeling of relief among politicians hero that Tilden’s and Hendricks’ letters of acceptance have at last been given to the public, expected to arrive af the United States Hotel at ten o'clock this morning, and Governor Hendricks, whose headquartérs are af the Grand Union Hotel, came ap to the United States Hotel to meet him. Governor Tilden, however, did not come on the morning train, but did arrive at half-past two, Governor Hendricks was av the hotel promptly at that hour, and met Governor Tilden immediately after his arrival, A DRIRY CONFERENCE. Tho conference was very brief, Each read his letter to the other, and little if any discussion took place be- tween them. Tho general impression was that the let- ters would not be made pablic until Monday, but prominent detnocrats sojourning here felt that every day’s delay was injuring their par. and it was deemed desirable that the tion of the letters shoutd not be postponed another day if possib It is understood that Gor ornor Tilden would have been better pleased if Goy- ernor Hendricks bad Leen less exphcit and pronounced in favor of the repeal of the resumption ¢lause, but that the Indiana statesman was not inclined to modify tho weli considered expression of his opinton on that subject, GOVERNOR WENDRICKS? LETTER OUT. After the conference Governor Hendricks returned to his hotel and spent the nignt with a friend at Johnstown, His letter had been put in type this morn- ing, and the conference had hardly closed when printed copies were distributed to all who sought them, GOVERNOR TILDEN’S RETURN TO ALNANY, Governor Tilden dined, with Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer an@a few friends, at the United States Hotel and returned to Albany on the six o'clock train this evening. It ts understood that he witl go to New York to-morrow to confer with the National Executive Committee concerning the campaign and that he will return here next week fora briel period of rest and re- cuperation. WHAT 18 THOUGHT OF THE LETTERS. Tho democrats here who have seen the letters of course spexk highly of both of them, Murat Halstead, of the Cinctonati Gazette, in commenting editorially on the letters from here, to-night, says they are charac- teristic of thotr authors. Tilden ant Hendricks,” he says, ‘do not belong to- gother, ication of their letters of acceptance only advertises the fabt, Eather of them would have been a strong candidate; together they aro a failure, Governor Tilden writes likes a schoolmaster of finance, and says ma good things, quotes his own atter- ances that were of value im their day, and aro |= suit — lustrative; but what is all this fine and pure doctrine aud laborious prospec! good for alongside such a fantastic financial muddle as appears in the Hendricks letter, unless to point a moral by marking a contrast, The personal compli- ment that Hendricks pays Tilden is the fugar-coating of the bitter dose of sett money heresy and the contradiction | ot the teach- ings of Tilden in the philosophy of finance, In conclusion he says,—‘Taking the two letters to- gether they will confuse rather than inform the people, and they will be chiefly useful in serving to show the irreconcilable antagonism im the democratic party in all matters of busin = SAM nownes, Sam Bowles, of the Springfleld Repudiican, who is also here, having arrived this morning, telegraphs to his paper that the Tilden fetter is exceouingly weil written, and calculated to inspire the confidence ot the country and win Joubtint votes; that it 18 as great arelorm victory ns Hayes, and deserves the approba- Vion of all honest reformers, Of Hendricks? letter, he says it deftly secks to break the pronounced doctrines of tis chiet to Indiana standards, bat tts ele- vated and improved tone for him 18 also a great gain. He says it contirms the impression that. the hope of real reform in cage the tieket is elected, lies in Tikden’s Mite, and leaves a margin of advantage still with the republican ticket in this respect. “He adds that both letters furnish opportunities for great rejoteing, that thoy will increase the prospects of chances of Tilden’s clection, but yet they give no reason for those who have given their preference to Hayes and Wheeier intelligently to change their opinions. THK CAMPAIGN COMMITTEES. REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS PEGINNING TO SET THE PARTY MACHINERY aGOING, The executive committees of the, two national com- mittees are rapidly getting their machinery into work- ing order, The accounts, as published, reiting to theit first meoting, have not yet reached all the loca! leadors in the interior of the several States, and so the inter- change of correspondence has not yet fully begun, It isquite probable that very little to this particular will be done until after the two State conventions in this State have been held; tor itis known that the active men on voth sides, from whom the most work ts ex- pected on the committees, and who live in this State, are so engrossed just now by the gubernatorial ques. tion that they will not be In proper trim for active wire polling until that Js settled, The repudticans are appar- ently particularly exercised over the question as to who the man is who will be the party's eandidate for Governor. Judging from the conversation held with a fow of those who cailed at the committee room in the Filth Aveouc Hotel yesterday a lively fight is expected at the Saratoga Convention on the 23d inst, and what tends to give strongth to this expectation is that Sen- ator Conkling himseif will be a delegate, as he wae to the celebrated Syracuse Conventio: the rebel element in te party, At residing at Utica asserts that itis the determination of the Senator's Assembly district to send bin #8 one of the delegates, . Everyibing was very quiet at the demoeratic head- quartets, and there was but one callor of any note, Mr. Scott, ot Erie, Pa, who gives a geod account of the democratic prospects in his sectign, and states that the Tiluen sentiment is growmg stronger ye Bi despite all revurts to the contrary. At the of fy | | The Governor Tilden was [@orm, and without Liberty street, where Colonel Pelton, Governor Tildon'’s hephew aud military secretary is the presiding genus, the clerks employed to ‘do the documentary cam- paign work were ay busy as bees, and the Colonel was on hand bright and early, and until late in the alter- noon seeing that every caller was recetved with cour- tesy and that he was fturnished” with all the Information he came to seek, if not more. In this connection it may Le mentioned that it {scommon rumor among the politicians that rooms are svon to be engaged in 4 building in Nassau street, Where a large number of clerks will be employed during the campaign on correspondence, cireulars, &c and that they will be more in the employ of the Gor self than in that o! the National Committe It so this will relieve the comm:ttee trom mach work that would otherwise jall upon them and their em- ploy ss. : i Among the democrats from the interior who were in town yesterday was Snuth M. Wosd, of Piaitsburg. It wil be romenibered that it was through this geptie- man’s influence. that Chaton county went democratic in the fall of 1872, and that it was through bis iniu- ence that by a ohange of some four thousand votes the county went agwiust Mr, Ttiden whep he ran tor Governor, Mr, Weed at St. Louw came out strongly for whe Governor, however, and he «18 now actively working in bis jaterest, He told a Hunatp reporter that he felt satisfied that the Governor would carry this State by a very large majority. From this it is pretty certain that Clinton county, ordinarily republi- can, Will Not repeat the performance of two years ago if Mr. Weed can help it In speaking of De Witt C, Littiejohn’s declaring for iuyes and Wheeier, a prominent democrat trom Madi- i county, the county adjoining Mr. Littlejohn’s, terday remarked:—"It is not surprising, Now thas he bas vecided what he 18 going to do the republican news- } papers will find ita tough jov to take back ail the hard things the: said of him ‘when he went over to Mr. Greciey. lt Governor Tiiden had only let Littlejotn Tun his district, so far as canal appoitments were con- cerned, last winter, he would be a etrong Tilden nan now. I suppose, after all, he bas taken the aavice of his bosom iriend, Willard Johnson, whom people havo heard something about in the reports of the Governor's Canal Commission, Littlejohn 18 not the only man who does not like to see Tilden im the field since the canal jobberies were exposed.” GAREIELD'S REPLY TO LAMAR, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THE EVIL GENIUS OF THY SOUTH. Wasuinctox, August 4, 1876, The House to-day, at twenty minutes past two P. M., went into Committee of the Whole, Mr. Eden, of Iiinots, in the chatr, aud was addressed by Mr. Gar- field, (rep.) Of Ohio, on the subject of “General Poli ties.” Mr, GARrmep expressed his regret that ho had not been able to see Mr, Lamar’s specch in the Record, but still it had been so clearly stated and go logically con- nected that he could scarcely err in commenting on it, ‘The speech was an earnest attempt to make progress in | the direction of a return to good feeling, aud in so far it met his (Mr. Garfiefd’s) earnest gentioman had complained of two great eviis and obstacles to reform. First, the generally corrupt stato of the administration of affairs, and sec- ond, the seriously corrupt state of the civil service, He had contended that that corrupt state of affairs was buttressed and consolidated by an enormous army of 100,000 office holders and 100,000 expectants of office. The deductions of the speech were that the Fepublican party was incapable of effetiing the great reform needed, and that theretore the democratic party ought to ve brought into power in the coming election. This had been the main iogte of the speech. Mr. Gartield ad- mitted that some of the premises of the speech wero correct. With most ot them he could not concur; bat, admitting that all the premises were correct, he denied that the conclusion was logical, He (Garfield) should attempt to show that good which he (Lamar) soaght was not tobe secured by the ascen- dancy of she democratic party at this tige. He bad noticed one striking omission,in the logic of the speecn, and that was that i made no attempt to prove the iitpess of the inocracy to accompush needed re- that proof of fitness the ‘argument mast, of course, be an absolute failure, Was the gentleman (Mr. Lamar) correct in the state- ment that the party conquered in the late civil war had adopted or acquiesced in the results of tho war? He (Mr. Garfeld) went further and asked whether tho results of the war had been adopted, Great ideas, he said, travel slowly and oftentimes noiselessly, like the footsteps of the gods, whaso feet were shod with wool, It would not do to speak of tho gigantic revolu- tion through which the country had lately passed as a thing to be bound up by @ mero change of udininistra- ton, 1t was cyclical, epochal, century wide, and to bo looked at in its broad and grand prospective. Me did not spenk of that revoluion to land or to condemnu those who acted in it on either side, but he spoke of it as the inexorable logic of events, He drew an historical sketch of the i wt two con- turies and of the contest between freedom and slavery culmivating in the war of the rebellion. The men of the North and of the South were equally honest in their convictions on that subject, but the question was far beyond them. In this connection he read extracts from a speech made by Mr. Singleton, of Mississippi, in the House on the 19th of Devember, 1859, declaring that the institution of slavery must be sustained; that emancipation would produce a war of races, and that if the black republican party elected us president he was for dissolving the Union. He also reterred to Mr. Lin- coln’ssaying that it was impossible for a country to re- main partly slave and partly free, and to Mr. Seward’s dictum about the irrepressible conflict, and be quoted from a speech of Mr. Lamar,’ in which he stated he bad heard Mr. Seward’s speoch in the Senate, and described Mr. Seward’s eyes as glowering und jaring on Southern members as though tho tires of ell burned in his spirit, He referred to those | speeches jor no other purpose than to indicate to what Leight tho antagonism between the sectious had arisen th 1859, avd to congratulate Mr, Lamar and the coun- try on the change that had been wrought since then. Tie gulf that intervened between that speech of Str. Lamar and the one he delivered the other day was 80 vast that it Indicated a progress worthy of all praiso ip the individual man who bad undergone that change. Coming down to the era of the reconstruction meas- ures, lie said that the conquering party bad acted on the ' principle, ‘Nothing for —rovenge, —_every- thing) for permanent peace.” ~The’ simple and only revenge ¢ which the — conquering nation took was to compel the conquered to put ito tho national constitution a provision that the national debt should never be repudiated; that the rebel vebt should never be paid and that all men, without regard to race jor, Should stand equal ‘before the law. Had this olfer bees accepted? No. By the advice of Andrew Johnson—a bad adyiser—and of the Northern democracy—a worse adviser—ten of the cieven rebel States had cotitemptuously rejected the plan of reo struction embraced in the fourteenth amendment to the constitution.
