propriety even In that way. The vast majority
Of these returned soldiers are intent only on
going home, seeing their families and friends,
and finding once more the places in society
that they left to serve their country.
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS FOB PUBLIC ORFIGEs.-
The system which has been for some time pur-
sued at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and is now
so much at variance with the spirit of the
times in which we live and the new order of
things arising out Of the war end the return
Of peace, that the government should take
official cognizance of it without delay. We
allude to the refusal to employ men who have
seen service in the army and navy upon the
public works, for the purpose Of keeping poll
tical drones in Office. This is not the first time
that complaints have been made since the war
commenced Of similar conduct on the part Of
Mr.. Delano and other officials Of the Navy
Yard. That establishment has notoriously been
furnishing the fshpots and feshpots for the
political hacks of the dominant faction for
now. There is new class Of men who have
claims upon the government for the means of
honest livelihood, not only in the navy
yards, but in every institution under govern
ment patronage, where no qualifications as to
party opinions or services should be the test
of fitness for employment; but simply their re-
cord as veterans in the war, whether on land
or sea. There is, perhaps, no class in the COM
munity more suited to fill most Of our public
Offices than is to be found among these very
men, trained as they are to discipline, eDured
to hardship, quick witted intelligent and loyal.
The corrupt political place holders who are
sore upon the body polite, should therefore be
compelled to give up their hold upon the fat
of the land and make way for ihe veterans.
To accomplish this is another motive for the
organization Of new political party by the
soldiers and sailors of the wars healthy,
fresh, vigorous party, which comprehends the
wants Of the country at the present time, and
would leave out in the cold the tricky politi-
clans and loafers who have been 80 long
demoralizing public sentiment and feathering
their OWL nests. Let them begone, and clear
the way for our gallant veterans

in bad taste to say The beast Of it? Does IL moi

CABINET CHANGEs.-There are but few ru-

and this il pretty sure sign that some changes
are at hand; for Andy Johnson does not tell
his plans and purposes to everybody. Tn

before long. This is . part Of his scheme of
reconstruction. Parties in the Custom House
and other office holders please take notice.
