Nor did he deny that he had given mum

no man ever had positive assurance Of how
he intended to vote on the eleventh article
or either Of the other articles. He said he
was no sunshine patriot. He entered the
Abolition party In 1874, when but 1900 in

the friends Of the slave. He led q colony
to Kansas In 1856, and when the rebellion
broke out he entered the ranks as private
soldier. No man could point to an instance

The Franking Privilege,

The project Of sbclishing or restricting the
franking privilege Of members Is now en-
gagiDg the attention of Congress-, as It has
done many times before, but we doubt
whether any real effort will be made to
correct the gross abuses which are known to
exist. 1t seems reasonable enough that mem
bers Of Congress-, as well as other public
officials who have extensive correspondence
upon public business, should be allowed the
privilege of franking their letters, and within
reasonable limits there would be nothing TO
complain of. The thing, however, has grown
to be an evil of the first magnitude, and the
Postmaster. General estimates the loss to the
Government during the last political cam
psign at million and half of dollars from
the mails being flooded with eleotioneer-
ing documents. The stamp machines
which the members of Congress have
been in the habit OF using are fruitful
sources Of abuse, and il they were abolished
TIE Post Offices would, in the future, be re-
lieved of tons Of documents which are now
distributed every year for partisan purposes.
This reform ought to be insisted upon, and we
may perhaps see 1t brought about, for there
are probably few Congressman who will care
to appear as supporters Of the more palpable
abuses of the franking privilege. 1t can
scarcely be expected that they will have the
self-depial to abolish the privilege altogether,
Notwithstanding the heavy burden of taxa
tion which the people already have to bear;
and, perhaps, the most satisfactory comprO-
mise would be for each member to receive an
allowance, and be compelled TO prepay his
letters like any other citizen. If this were
done, we doubt not but that most, if not all,
of them would save money by the operation,
no matter how small the allowance might be,
for We do not believe that the legitimate cor
respondepce of any member of Congress is so
great as TO b9 serious burden on the Govern
ment.

THAT Cabinet

TnR customary Congressional recess over the
Christmas holidays knocks all the schemes of
the lobby in the head for the time being
except that of Grants Cabinet. Aud, having
nsthing else TO engage its attention for week
or two, the full force of the third house, with
considerable assistance from Senators and Re-
representatives., has determined to 60 into the
Cabinet business exclusively. A Western
psner sums up the efforts Of the lobby thus
far, and the result is highly gratifying.
Instead of the meagre council of seven minis
ters, with whose aid previous Presidents have
contrived to worry through their respective
terms, the number of gentlemen, prominent
and otherwise, who are morally certain o.
presiding over the executive departments
during the next four years foots up about
seventy, with score or tive Of probable
appointments concerning which the LOBBY
have not yet arrived at the stage of certainty.
Moreover, the business OF fixing up Grants
Cabinet has even received a share of attention
from our cousins across the water. The Pail
1IGH Gazette Of London, journal which pro-
fesses to know all about everything in each
J. LOthrOp Motley, the late Minister to
Vienna, will be offered seat at the council
board-an event not at all unlikely to occur,
II MIR. Motley is not regarded by General
Grant as capable of doing the country more
effective service as successor 10 the garrulOus
Johnson at the Court Of St. James.
But while the Pail Mall may not have gone
very far astray in this prediction, 1t astonishes
Mr.. Colfax by reminding him of his duty to
his new "father-in-law," the slate President
of the Senate" whose chances of creeping
into the Cabinet through the baek-doOr OF
matrimony are regarded by that exceedingly
well-informed journal as quite certain.
Sun more astounding, however, is
the Pail Mails a information that
"the question of the retention Of the pre-
sent Secretary of State is being anxiously dis
cussed." BY whom We are forced to inquire.
