natciy IL the governing rule in appointments
here, and behold the lamentable consequences
that have been evoked 1t is refreshing, how
ever, to notice that in number of instances
there have been appointed men who reflect
credit on themselves, and have honorably
faithfully and truly represented republican in
situations in other lands, and to them should
be awarded the credit of acknowledgment for
the performance of their duties in manner
worthy of their positions. That there are re-
forms needed none will deny, and it is in the
power of General Grant to introduce them,
spare the nation further humiliation, and char
acterize the administration of the high duties
of his Office by proper discharge of the ap-
pointing power, in having the nation repre-
sented in foreign countries by those who will
maintain the positions of American ambassa-
doris with honor, honesty, dignity and deter
minatiOn.
