The exercise of unwarrantable power by Governor
King in appointing street commissioner for the
city Of New York, thus assuming the administration
of its municipal affairs, is exciting the surprise and
Indignation such arrogance would naturally produce.
The Daily News thus speaks of the governors pro
ceedings;
:. The conduct Of Governor King has awakened the
deepest disgust and Indignation and this naughty assnp
ton of power viii diminish the small amount Of
personal popularity he possessed He has acted not
only with tyranncal disregard of municipal rights,
but with reckless ignorance of law which is disgraccul
Prodgious is the patronage of this Office, disregard
it in comparison of the scandal that the scramble after
these emoluments the part of governor of State
the instgaon of his reckless associates, will produce
A Louis Napoleon could not trample on law with more
utter disregard of all but his despotc incnaons.
1t deeply dsgraceul to the State when its constitu-
ton disrcgarded by the legislature but this
patton by Governor King is the browning act of black
republican ineolence. -

THE ONO TREASURY DEFALcATIoN.

A very large defacation has been discovered in
the Ohio treasury, amounting to eight hundred
thousand dollars The former treasurer, Bresn Oh
surrendering the Office and funds to Gibson his sue
cessor, took from the latter receipts for everything
in his hands, save some two hundred thousand dol
lars which had been deposited in banks and with
bankers, and which they were unable or unwilling
TO pay 1t is disputed question whether this
latter shall be lost by the State or Mr.. Bresn.
The rest and residue of the deacaton has occurred
under the management Of Gibson, during his short
occupancy of the office.
There was fault somewhere in deposting with
banks and bankers the sum conceded to have been
absorbed by them, and now lost. Whether Breslir
or the State is at fault is question which we do moi
understand and shall not attempt to determine. The
republicans of Ohio naturally charge upon Breslin
because he is democrat over whom they electea
Gibson to the treasurership. What answer they can
make excupating their favorite, when it is conceded
that he has embezzled half million of dollars
we cannot conjecture. Where has this money gone
and to what uses has it been applied? Has Gibson
invested it in banking and other specnations, or
loaned it to political or other favolites? This mon
strols case must IKE the COLUMBUS BANK 6Wlnule
upon the treasury of the United States during Mr..
Corwin's management of the Treasury Department.
tend to establish unenviable character among the
republicans Of Ohio What strikes MS exceedingly
strange is the fact that GOV. Chase has committed
the investigation Of this defalcation of his political
friend and favore exclusively to others Of the
party, who win have the strongest temptation to
cover up and palliate the wrong committed against
tho State and the morals Of it's citizens. Why he al
lowed no democrat to scrutinize the acts Of his poht
cal brother remains unexplained

HON. j. L. SEWARD.

We copy the following from the Federal Georgia.
Union:
Some of the enemies of democracy are already re-
oicing the prospect of defeating Col Seward the
rst district They to think that they can prevail
upon some dsorganzer from the democratic ranks to run
in opposition to Col Seward and by thus dividing the
democracy they will be enabled to elect genuine plug
ugly We confident they doomed to suffer dis.
appointment in these hopes. The people of the first dis
trict certainly know their interest and If they do
they will wish to avail themselves again of Col Seward S
services No representative from the first district for
many years if ever has doneso much for his constituents
rs Col Seward and to suppose that they would wish
exchange such public servant for one wholly untried
would be to suppose them not only devoid Of gratitude
but also Of common prudence The democrats of the first
district must the object OF their opponents in trying
to divide them and knowing their object they win take
warning and govern themselves accordingly
Col. Seward has served his district in Congress
with such fidelity, ability and success that his CON
stituents only honor themselves by sustaining him in
position which he has filed with so much credit 10
himself, advantage to his State, and benefit TO his
party He ought and no doubt will be re elected by
triumphant majority

THE EFFECTS OF POLITICAL FANATIcIsM.

Political fanaticism has two leading efiects--to
wit 1t parayzes the activity and energy of the peo-
pie and posons and diminishes their happiness.
The crusade of fanatical know-nothingsm has Sc
riousy retarded the growth and business Of many
places where its instincts have had full sway. Lou
isve is a striking illustration of this. The know
nothing demonstration drove from the city its thou
sands of the industrious and producing classes many
of them carrying with them very respectable CAPT
tails. 1t lost large portion of business, and every
thing was paralyzed. This city and Baltimore were
afflicted in less degree The weather-beaten board
roof on the Washington Monument is, however, an
eloquent mennonite of the paralysis wrought where
loud promises had called into existence the highest
hopes. Wherever know-nothngism has secured a
foothold paralytc effect has been produced, and
the barometer of human happiness has sunk in a
corresponding degree. The same consequences have
followed the footsteps of .'republicansm Not one
foot of America has been made happier byits fanat-
icism, while millions of citizens have been made
unhappy by its parayzng and dreaded effects. Kansas
has been its greatest victim. Her people arraycd
by itnhostile ranks often incting upon each other
death-blows, extending to and children. Her
the face In many parts Of the country industry gave
place to fanatcal crnsades sowing the seeds of bit
tcrness and strife where kindness and friendship had
long dwelt In hundreds of places the formal wor-
ship of God was made the vehicle of propagating
political fanaticism Those who had no taste for
such desecration compelled to listen or leave
churches where they had hoped TO serve God in
peace and quiet during their lives. The continued
denuncation of the Union, and assaults upon the
characters Of the people in nearly half of the States
alarmed thousands upon thousands for the safety of
the confederacy. The blighting effects every
where apparent last year. and especially in this city
where everything depends upon its continuation and
prosperity. The defeat and prostration of these
two modern naticisms has revived the hopes of our
citizens everywhere. and industry has assumed its
wonted activity and happy effects The i'll and
charitable feeling which they called into existence
will soon subside and give place to others dictated
by the precepts of holy religion and practised by
those who practically illustrate them by bameless
Christian lives. We shallrejoice to things fully
restored to the useful and happy condition which ex-
listed before fanaticism opened its gates and flooded
the land with unnecessary evils. We think return
will soon relieve lis from the evils which their non
observance has lately visited upon us. win any
lover of his country and feow-man hereafter assist
or contenance fanaticsm in any of its forms
