It is beyond question that the successful candidate in that contest } will be chosen by a smaller majority of the electoral votes than any President has re- ceived since JaMEs K, PoLK defeated HENRY 4 Cay. This fact is impliedly admitted by the nervous mainer*tn“Which some Republi fan journals, and especially the Ziridune, | ‘are handling the election returns of the past f year and trying to draw encouragement from their ugly-looking figures. No a ] } ortioument of members of Congress hay!j, ' been yet made under the new cousus, pro oe hecies concerning the future must be tem upon the imperfect data fur- mainly nishod by the existing appor:onment, In the elections of the past year, twenty States, which, according to the present ap- : portionment, give one hundred and seventy- h ix votes for President, went for the Repub- licans, while seventeen States, which give one hundred and fifty votes, weut for the fi Democrats. It will be seen, therefore, that Hf the Democrats can retain in 1872 all the ; Btates they carried in 1870, they will prevail ' in the next Presidential contest, provided aut they can make an additional gain of fourteen electoral votes. Can the Democrats make such gain? Assuming that they will show good sense in } the erection of their platform and the selec- A 1 tion of their candidate, he Southern States afford the most available field for them to j ‘make the necessary break in the Republican 4 lines. Among the States carried by the Re- publicans the past year were Arkangas, i Mississippi, aud ‘Texas. q elsewhere in 1872, these al ‘from the Republicans, will mo: to elect the Democratic ticket. Can the Democrats hope to make geins in j the South? The negro vote is a very unsta- Dle foundation on which to anticipate the eontinued supremacy of the Republiean party. Though the elections of the past year demonstrate t) tion, neither party seems to co principle from which if ing the circums! grroes of the With uo changes if than euilice wrested aa me “iprings. Consider. ‘uces under which the ne Si"Southern States obtained the electives anchiso, it is entirely natural, and loed highly creditable to them, that for t one, two, and perhaps three elections, they prebs Ye ehould vote the Republican ticket almost to» ree: man, ‘This they west | © «48 the pay is ff ment of a debt, which they might well be ‘ dieve they owed to the Republican party " But after they had discharged this obliga ian tion, and when they began to find that (| nothing specially beneficial to the e great mass of them was likely to flow from ? this exclusive devotion to one party, then, i if they were satisfied that the Democrats , would make no attempt to deprive them of their rights, they would gradually become subject to the same influences which control ' the votes of other races of men; and with these intlucnces fairly in operation, the re sult would be thata portion of them, per haps only a small portion at first, would vote the Democratic ticket. This is the hey which solves the problem of the recent elections in the South. A mar- gin, asmall margin doubtless, of the negro element, fell away from the Republicans, A portion of it refused to vote at all, while another portion took an advanced step and voted with the Democracy, Tu secure the whole of t rgin, and by a bold blow to crumble a still larger fragment from the Republicans, is the policy through which the Democrats may reasonably hope to carry every Southern State in 1872, and thereby make up the possible loss of one or two Northern Statcs, like Connecticut and Ne. vada, aud come out of the struggle victorious. In view of the situation, we do not wonder that the 7'ridune is nervous and restive, and seems almost ready to give signs of woe that all ism 8 lost ——— The PostmastersGeneral and the Chore penning Swindle.

And isn’t the present a ry able and pure Administration ¢ Sha Public Offices be the Spoils of Victory? The elaborate speech of Senator Scnunz pon civil servico reform held a reluctant whether the women vote or not, the princ! plo remains unchanged, If anything is to be reformed, we have only to discuss it and vote upon it. The voters have only to any they want or do not want to abate this whole nuisance, to geet rid of it, or to perpetuate it, Meantime, during the period before we fre called upon to vote, the true place to discuss the question whether the public off ces shall or shall not be treated as the spoils of political victory is before the people, The debate is not how we shall retorm, but whether we will reform at all. Until this prior question od affirmatively, all Congressional debate as to how we shall im. prove our present system is just eo much time squandered, Let ua have the main question settled first, and thie will deter mine the precise condition of our political morals upon this subject. We should, of course, argue for reform ; but what ground will the great army of the politicians take Senate °° that particular vubject during a wholo sea Of one day Inst week, We cannot say it W8 wisely dono, Mr, Scrivnz’s easay was too Shoroughly German in its character to be aceoptalic OT even use ful. Mr. Scrrenz has a pleasing ‘éerary faculty, which lends gracefalness to any 8u. ject he treats, But practical legislators do Hot want long dotailed treatises or whole books thrown at their heads, however fault Jess may bé their composition. Mr. Scrunz must abate his oxhaustive method in his Senatorial eiforts, or he will soon be regard 4 ed with anything but apriebation. If he should ever choice to suggest a revision of \ae Constitution, we tremble to think of his continuations upon that subject. The re- mainder of the century would hardly suffice for his concluding periods, But we have no wish to depreciate the im- portance of the question discussed. ‘The public cfiges are the stock im trade of politicians. They are the stakes for which the contestants play. They are the currency in which is discharged the indebtment to friends, follow. ers, agents, and retainers, inearred by chose who engage in the game of politics, It is worthy of profound ‘aquiry wheth this corrupting prive for which parties con tend, and always at the expense of integrity and effotoncy in the public eervice, cannot be entirely removed from the arona of political conilict, or at any rate be #0 reduced in di- mensions and valuo as to cease to be an ob- ject of great temptatton. The civil service reformers have our entire sympathy in their endeavors to accomplish this purpose, Bai the!r long and wearisome efforts to prove the evils, mischiefs, and 2usurdities of our presont system are quite superfluous, mitted, and are indefensible. Their procise magnitude be a matter of dispute. Some will belittle, aud some will exaggerate them; but all will admit imperfection of one | degree or another. an ‘The question first arisos Whotl'cr cho evite complained of do notaiark the precise do. gree of politica!

A few votes upon the quee- tion will determine the whole case. Will the community have the reform? If yea, choose men who will execute it. The mode ie as plain as a tarnpike. But it is here that we approach the real source of the mischief. It isin the character of the persons chosen to fill public elective ices. Ifthe community will choose able and good men for public station, beginning with the President, they can have the Lest and tho purest of governments with our present machinery. ‘The difficulty is not in the aystem, which is what our reformers eeck to change, but in the practice under it, No matter how theoretically perfect any ma chinery may be, if vicious individuals are chosen to work it, vicious results will be co: sequence. If the people would turn their attention in this Cirection, and elect only men of in- telligence and integrity, all wished-for re forms would come about in natural or. der of ndministration, We are much more inclined to poiut out this road as the true ne leading to all real improvement, than the more dubious ways recommended to us by the roformers, who seck to secure honesty and purity of administration by hedging and fencing rascality after it is installed in places of power. We do not believe in that theory, The whole subject is well illustrated by the practice of the present Administration. Gen, Grant bad without doubt, when he took the reins of government in his hands, the power to give us a complete civil service refurm, The time was propitious, the cir- cumstances favorable, Nothing was want ing but the disposition to do it, It is very likely he did not perceive his opportunity It is quite possible he never thought about the subject.

Josern bad just hurriedly left the Pacific coast on account of his secession proc li+ vities, and Batonam had a thousand Boys in Blue buzzing around him to remind him of the blessings of loyalty, Joserm was complimentary, and Brionam was gushing in his admiration, Since those days of mutual sympathy an age has passed away, Are the Barcnam of yore and the people of Utah to-day the same?
