Governor Geary.

ONE of the sayings attributed to General
Grant is that, "as rule, military men should
not be appointed to civil Offices" fthis rule
is appropriate anywhere, it is certainly appli-
cable to such position as the Governorship
of Pennsylvania. The State has no wars to
fight, and for practical purposes the militia
of the Commonwealth can be as well COM
manded by civilian who never set squad
ron in the field as by the finest military
genius.
At the last Gubernatorial election Governor
Geary was nominated by the Republican party
chiefly on account of his war record, and he
was elected mainly because the Andy Johnson
blunder OF swinging round the circle in 1866,
and the obnoxious antecedents of the Demo-
cratic candidate (Heister Clymer), would have
secured the triumph in that year of any nomi-
nee the Republicans could have chosen.
tits eminently proper and just that soldiers
should be rewarded and honored, but 1t is GER
taiply not less important to the people of this
Commonwealth that the occupant of its ex-
ecutive chair should have an intelligent idea
Of the duties of that responsible position, and
| sufficient stock Of other mental and moral
qualities to keep faithful watch and ward
over the manifold interests of this great State.
1t is scarcely probable that any human
being would have seriously thought Of making
General Geary the Governor of the State in
1866 If he had not gained military laurels in
the war; and the experience Of the last three
years has clearly demonstrated that in his
instance the presumption was unwarranted
that martial skill in the tented field was ne
oessarily accompanied by political ability in a
peaceful executive chamber. This combina-
ton does sometimes exist, and.we verily hone

and avarioious corporations towards again

The other message, which calls attention TO
the condition OF the streets, was also well timed.
The Mayor desires Councils to provide for the
abolition OF the contract to olean the streets,
because of the incompetency Of the oontrac-
tors, and favors legal proceedings against their
securities. The tone Of the message deserves
commendation, but II Is unnecessary. The
Mayor should have declared the contract
broken, communicated the fact to
Councils, and had the City Solicitor
proceed with the suits. On him should rest
the responsibility. He is given the power.
Let him exercise IL, and all the people will
sustain him. II the Mayor will continue in
this course and adopt proper reforms in the
police depsrtment-not such as he has done
heretofore in the Tenth dstriot-he will de-
serve thanks. The people are Watching him.
He made many fair promises, aud they are
waiting for him to keep them. The cases of
Policemen Hill, Irons and Hussey look, how
ever, as though his police administration would
be whited sepulohre. Let us hope we may
be mistaken.

New Hanpshtre.

The State and Congressional elections of New
Hampshire take place tomorrow. From re-
ports from that quarter, it appears that the
Democrats are showing very little of their
fighting qualities, regarding their chances of
success as exceedingly slim. New Hampshire
has been decidedly Republican since 1860,
although the majorities have not always been
SO large as to warrant the dominant party in
folding its hands in confidence of success. The
following table shows the vote of the State at
each election since 1860, the figures marked
thus Cd including scattering votes, while in
1868 there were two Republican candidates
for Governor, and consequently no election by

sylvauis. Iufant communities are controlled
by Influences entirely different from those
which exercise potential sway in staid old
Commonwealth, and at Harrisburg muscular
intepectuality is as requisite as muscular
Christianity was in the new EIdorado twenty
years ago, or at Topeka when John Brown
was enlisting his FIRST company in an anti
slavery crusade.
Governor Geary has managed, during his
official term, to dissalisfy both the politicians
and the people, in vain effort to appease
both. He has proved poor politician, and
given not little of evidence that he possesses
aspsrk of statesmansbip. Pennsylvania has
little cause for pride or congratulation as she
looks back on the long line Of her Governors.
If few good and brilliant men are stricken
from the list there is little left to raise It up
above the level of mediocrity; and Geary has
done nothing, rs Governor, to distinguish
himself over the mass of his predecessors.
Meanwhile, although corruption reeks at Hsr-
risburg, and the interests of the State are
most shamefully neglected and betrayed, his
voice has never been heard protesting in the
clarion tones that some men might have made
ring throughout the Common wealth against
this carnival of folly and fraud.

Two Excellent Messages.


Ir ia seldom we can SO warmly commend any
public documents as we can the two messages
sent to Select and Common Councils on Satur-
day by Mayor Fox. The first was veto of
the act TO allow the Germantown Passenger
Railway Company to salt its tracks. The veto
was sent in on two grounds. One was that 1t
was special legislation, and therefore should
not be passed; the other that IL was detri-
mental to the comfort, If not to the health, of
our citizens TO have the streets salted. We
hopo that the antagonism exhibited by Mayor
Fox to special legislation will not
die out, but win continue TO grow
as long as he is In office. II is the curse OF
our 6tate-the mother Of all corruption-the
debsucher Of public morals. There is no
language too severe for this whole species Of
private favoritism, of viii III the act vetoed is
fair type. II is unjust to the country, un'
oslled for, and seonred, as a rule, through Inn
proper means. The other objection on the
ground Of health and comfort Is also well
founded. We have been free for two years
from the fearful "slush" which injured u'
heretofore, and the exemption OF the German
,town road irOm the statute which forbid th'
