conprsss and the Fslons.

The New York Herald inclines to the
view that our public men are utterly cor
rupt, and are on par with the felons
confined in our State prisons. It traces
a similarity in the crimes of the jail-birds
and our public men, both being given to
stealing, forgery, embezzlement,. etc,
etc. 1t also asserts that both classes
have taste for indecent literature.
The Herald ascribes our salvation as
nation thus far TO the virtue to be found
in the middle classes Of society-God-
fearing men and women, who have no
thirst for Office, but make their own liv-
ing and mind their own business.
The theory OF the Herald, while It IS
utterly disgraceful 10 us as a nation, has
been most shsmefully osrroborated and
illustrated by men holding high posi-
tions in national affairs during the last
Eve or six years. Had faithful record
been kept Of the defslcations, embezzle-
meuts, aud other kinds of thieving,
which have occurred since the Radicals
came into power the sum total would be
perfectly astounding and far exceed IN
amount al the. money stolen BY jail
birds in the last hundred years.
In fact, stealing public money has be-
come 50 common that a theft Of forty
or fifty thousand dollars hsrdly exciies

THE ECONOMICAL QUESTION.

The Democratic Party. - That the
enormous and extravagant expenditures
of the Government ought to be checked,
aud reduction be made in all depart
ments; while, in the administration Of
the internal revenue system, thorough
reform ought to be inaugurated, By which
the plundering and theft, that have cost
the people more than all the revenue the
treasury has received, shall be brought
to an end. ..- ......-,tt-
The Jacobin Party-We can see no
end to the corruption prevailing in the
internal revenue but in change of the
administration.
To this last sentence, the Jacobin plat
form adds the words, of the Presi-
Dental Office %
But as nine in every ten of the internal
revenue officers in the country are ardent
supporters of Congress, aud as it is Con-
gress that has forbidden Johnson to turn
them out on pain Of impeachment, it is
obvious that the concluding words are
mere surplusage. "The administrator q,
under the existing state Of affairs in the
Federal Capitol, is not the President and
his Cabinet, but the Senate and the
House Of Representatives, with the son
of old Jesse Grant for their executive
agent. ..f-. nrf.ae =,

Speech Of Senator Stewart.

The campaign was opened on Tuesday eve.
by Senator Stewart, of Nevada, who at the
request of the citizens gave an address at the
Clarendon Hall. Although the notice had
been given but few hours, the audience num-
bered some 200, and all listened with great at
tention, save few Cops, who were too sensi-
tive TO enjoy the truth. The speaker gave a
brief fhistory of the reconstruction acts, show
ing the absolute necessity of their enactment
and enforcement to save the south from anar-
chy, and showing also the desperate project
devised by the Democrats TO render these acts
roid, and thus drive out of the union the re-
constructed states. This he declared was the
great issue of the eanvass-the maintenance of
the reconstruction acts of Congress and coz
sequent peace, or the yiolator and nuliifca-
ton of their laws, and another secession and
rebellion and war. This last is Blairs prog
gramme, and that of the Democrat platform
coupled with repudiation of the national debt,
and consequent loss of national credit and
power, and their secession would be easy. The
financial question he declared was important
mainly as it referred to this-but still insisted
that taxation might and should be reduced to
a very great extent. If the taxes which had
been levied had been honestly collected, and
| expended, one third of the whole national
debt would have been paid. One hundred
miiilon annually have been kept from the ma
lonal treasury by the corrupt Vaccinations of
Andrew johnson and the whisky ring.
An aggregate of six hundred millions have,
by different means been kept from the treasury
and by the consent or connivence of Andrew
johnson. These abuses call loudly for reform
great share of the Onerous taxation mipht
be remitted, and q sufficient amount raised bv
the tariff, and a tax on whisky and tobacco to
meet all the expenses of the government, in
terestand all, and leave balance for a sink
ing fund to gradually pay off the national debt
He declared that already six hundred millions
had. been paid of, reducing the debt from
three thousand one hundred millions to twe
thousand five hundred millions
The Cops. did not relish the plain truths
declared by the speaker in reference to thei
lprotege Andrew johnson, AMI would be cx.
tceedingly glad to saddle the whole odium O
his corrupt administration ON the Republican
party: Mr.. Stewart closed by paying gener
Gus tribute to the character of Grant, who ha,
risen from ebscurity, to the highest position il
the esteem Of his countrymen-not by help O
political influences but by his own mora
worth and genius, and his patriotic devotion
TO his cOUntry's welfare

The civil war in Japan is increasing in
Importance. The Mikado, undoubtedly
intimidated by the regent manifesto of
the High Priest of Buddha, has revived
the old and bloody laws against the ma

to fresh complications with France and
other Christian Powers, and finally to
enlist the sympathy OF the whole world

CONSTITUTION TINKERING.- John
son, who has made such a blow about Con-
gress tampering with the Constitution in al
most every message that he has issued, and
who left the Constitution of our fathers" at
every station on his Swing around the circle
two years ago, has astonished the entire nation
by proposing four amendments to that SACRED
instrument :" First, that the President and
Vice President shall be elected directly by the
people for a single term of six years, only =
Second, in the case of the death, removal or
disability of both President and Vice President,
the power to discharge the duties'of the office
of President shall devolve upon the Secretary
of State, or some one of the other department
officers instead of tie President pro tenn of Sen
ate, &c, as now provided by the law: Third,
that Senators of the United States shall be
chosen by direct vote of the people of the
several states, instead of being elected by the
Legislatures as now the case Fourth, that
the judges of the Supreme Court shall be ap-
pointed for twelve years instead of life as un-
der the Constitution has hitherto been done.
| 1t will strike the people of the country as re-
markably cool, for the man who has thrown
every possible obstacle in the way of the rati-
fcation of the wholesome and absolutely ne
cessary Amendments already adopted by Con-
gress, to thus propose the batch of PROPOSE
tions in question. They were not, we believe,
acted upon BY Congress, previous to adjourn
| .
