Upon this matter the explanation of the Prosident is loss full than might be wishod. Mr, Johusou's argu- ment, if it means anything, means that becanse bo Bas violated the law, Congross ought to repeal it.

The Secretary of the Treasury gives a list of 55 officers appointed in violation of law, and bis apology is this: * In most of tho Southern States nearly evory man of the oharactor and intelligence necessary to qualify bim for & posi- tion as revenus officer, some timo during t war oither ongaged in hostilities o o Tnant of tha Unitad States, or held, williagly or unwillingly. afes under Rebel autbority.

HUMANE LEGISLATION. The armory of laws with which the new Socioty for the Prevention of Cruelty to animals is furnished, may be briefly summarized. 1. An act agaiust the confining of live stock for a longer period than 24 hours without unloading to feed, rest and water during at least ten consecutive hours—the forfeit for which offouso is $100. 2. An old law against the beating, torturing aud maiming of horses, cattle, and sheep especially, with @ maximum penalty of one year's imprisonment, $250 fine, or both, 3. A Section to prohibit tho binding aud crowdiug of calves and sheep in carts. 4. An acf against the injuring, torturing, maiming or killiug of any animal with malice or by neglect. 5. A pro- that out of this multitude thore were noi 55 eompos | =0 b "y dead horsos and mules to lie in the' teut to fll the reveuue offiges to which the Secrotary preforced to appoiut traitors? Congress in 1865 re: solved that soldiers ought to have the proference in appointments to civil offices—a resolution which ap- plies with peculiar force to those noble loyaliats from | the Southern States who fought in the Union armiies. Can there be a doubt that the Federal offices might and should be filled by them! Where then was the necessity of violatiug the law, and what becomes of the argument for repealing it ? It must oven be doubted whether the President and | his Secrotary can in all cases plead the excuse of ignorauce for violating the law. We find, in one in- stance, Mr. J. J. Giors of Alabuma applying for aw appointment, backed by such certificates as these: rs is & logal citizen of Alabama, and bas done many wcts to prove his position. May 14, 1463, 3.

Other cases might be cited; but it can scarcely be pecessary to pile up proof in order to show that the pretext of necessity for violation of the law breaks down utterly, aud that the argument for repeal, on the same ground, i left without a leg to stand on. While there are thousands and tens of thousands of loyal men in the Rebel States who bave served in the Union armies, | s was not appointed, and Mr. Sykes, | | a member of the Rebel Legislature of Alsbama, and are capable to fill Union offices, the North will | not listen with patience to a proposition to repeal the test oath in order to pass over these loyalisis and <mooth the path of traitors to preferment and power. e MULTIPLYING OFFICES AND INCREAS- ING SALARIES. 1t Lias been the custom for years for our Common Council to create office after office of no possible ad- vantage to the City, and then to place in these sine- cures political favorites who have nothing to recom- mend them except presumption and incompetency. | seeded to such lengths that, wore the matter not so serious in its results, it would be humorous to observe the ingenuity of the rogues who manage to manufacture so many pigeon-holes in which to place their friends at fat salaries—taking everything for doing nothing. We are informed that the City Fathers have not been accustomed to even wait to be called upon for extra hielp by the heads of the departments in which they created the new clerkships, but bave wmanu- factured the positions according to ihe wants of their friends, whether or not the services of these persons were needed. And the heads of some of the depart- ments bave complained to the friends of Reform that these positions and persons have been thrust upon them, not mer inst their will, but against their solemn protestations. And this system of multiplying offices accounts for the great number of idle fellows who hang around all the departments, doing nothing <ave interrupting the transaction of business, and | drawing their mouthly support from the City Treas- | ury. Most of these persons are either thieves or paupers. They do nothing for the large amounts they draw from the tax-p to place themselves with ¢ el ither of the above two classes. Another plan, practiced by our worthy Aldermen and Councilmen to rob the people and to enrich them- bas been to largely increase the salaries of \| months back. back pay at the increased salary was invariably taken by the Alderman or Councilman whoe had charge of that little job. But we think the Citizens' Association bas suc- ceedud in stopping this big leak; for we find in Sec- tion 2, of the City Tax-Levy, the following: « And the Common Council of the City of New.Vork ars Nereby probibited from crvatitg any new otfice or department, o increaring the salaries of those Low in oftice.” 1i those whose duty it is to see to the matter will only act wisely and promptly in the premises, we think great good can be done, and mnch wrong pre- vented. We judge from the proceedings at the last meeting of tha Common Couneil that there are a number of ets on foot to create new positions and to increase alaries. Wo hope Mayor Hoffman will be on the alert to check by his veto any attempted violation of the express provisions of the law in this respect. We would likewise remind Corporation Counsel O'Gorman that he was elected as & Reform candidate, and is expected to use promptly, if necessary, the ma- chinery of the Conrts to cause all the provisions of the T'ax-Levy to be observed. ; and they are welcome | It is not generally known that the | | take care of themselve stroets for moro than threa hours. 6. Against pugilisue or prize-fighting, cock-pitting, bull and Dbear-baiting, badgering, dog-fights and rat-pits, with apuuishment not greater than pue year or loss than ten daysin jail, or a fino not exceeding $1,000. 7. A section as 1o the duty of magistrates, These include, we believe, all the laws that will freshly operate in the refurm in- spired by the Preventive Society, and we are glad to observe that prize-fighting happens by chance to be reckoned with cruelties to auimals. Among the in- corporators of the Society are Mayor Hoffman, Georgs Baucroft, Peter Cooper, Henry Grinuell, Gen. Dix, Bishop Potter, Mosos Taylor, Wm. IL Aspinwall, Wm. Cullen Bryant, Judge Daly, Frank Leslie, Jas. T. Brady, Dr. Bellows, Oakey Hall, Commissioner Acton and Henry De Berg, the last gentleman prominent mover in the present reform. These names are warrant not only of its great urgency, but that the laws which sustain it will have practical eflect. Experienco returns us the very trite truth that social amelioration makes slow progress by mikssions and volunteering unless aided by law in the humblee details. There is a proverb—* Take care of the pennies, and the pounds will take care of thenselves," upon which the Board of Health might model suother —+ Take care of the byways, and the highways will ." 8o, take care of the brutea, and men will be loss brutes than before. We know of no way of educating men to temperance so effectually a3 by keeping out of sight extravagant temptations o drink. All the self-interest in the world, stimulated < by remonstrance, could mot avail to prevent cruelty to animals, to make our daily food purer, and cur daily forces stronger, without humane laws. We make thess rewarks much for the sake of those whe, in dealing with labor, temperance, the freedmen, or any other social idea, indifferently surrender everything to the incubus—that social paganism which steals and devours men and babes—a vague, Juggernsat law of supply and demand—regardless of the fact that humane legislation is a portion of the justs demand and supply. Who will demy thay | Emancipation has made this commonplase trath more emphatic even to pro-Slavery minds, by resen- ing the intellect and conscience of men from the great dye-vat of Slavery? Supposing Slavery to have prevailed, what would have become of our smaller roforms (which, after all, are great reforms) if not postponed from councils aud Legislature, from the Broadway abominations, the alley-slums, milk- distilleries and slanghter-houses, a generntiom hence? It is worth our while, in a city raled as ours, to comparc the greut facts with small, and so date from this day a progress straightforwardly -0 Now, if statisties faithfully show that by san- itary care of the city we can lessen its mortality so many lives per week, let us believe that the humbler reform of preventing eruelty to snimals will mohq*' lead up to lessen murder. The preventiouists havs begun at a good end, while others are working else- where.

If it does mot, then its harping on *‘wnieersal Negro Suffrage” is vagne and misleading. There is a large portion of the American People who have forfeited their political rights by rebellion and treason. There is another large portion who, having mainly been slaves till recently, have not yet been po- litically enfranchised. We propose that the political disabilities under which these two classes now labor | shall be at once and absolutely removed, so that no | man shall benceforth be disfranchised in any State because of bis color or because he Las been a Rebel. ‘Why is not this just, fair, wise—nay, even generous !
