Rndicalism in Distress.
The Republican household does not
now stand upon the most harmonious
basis possible. When the struggle for
existence and power was going on the
various elements. were coaxsd, cajoled
or coerced into unity. All were brought
together; a concession here, a promise
there, an explanation at another place
and bribery whenever necessary, suf-
feed to preserve discipline during the
crisis of an election.
But to-day the situation is changed.
Instead of nice devetailiRg, smooth
working and satisfactory results, we
tind harsh, discordant crash of jarring
acknowledgement jostls, scramble,
grumble and wrsngle. The division of
the spoils is the great woe-wOrker to
the happy family, bringing disappoint-
ment, pickering, enmity and strife.
GRANT has not the nerve to face, much
less quell, the uproar. He works in N
anxious and yet reckless sort of a way,
and sadly lacks the brains to make ap
portionments that will satisfy and recon
cile contending parties. He provides
for his own household first, but so large.

for excellence in obscurity and,
dragging unknown people to light
and position, he calls down the
maledictioIs of the able and the popu-
lar men whom he overlooks and snubs.
He aims to reward military service, yet
so unfortunately restricts his selections
to soldiers Of his own intimate &C
quaintance that he not only excites sus-
piciOns of fayoritiSm, but often ig-
nores men of greater mark and merit
than he recognizes. Worst of all, he
has to contend with that unfortunate,
but almost universal American charac-
himself qualified to fill any position in
the Governments gift, merely because
he is eligible to it, and in getting it con-
ceives that he conferS far greater favor
upon the country in accepting, than the
President colfers upon him in appoint
ing. For this last reason it is, chiefly,
that every appointment given "makes
fifty enemies and one ingrate," the fifty
passing to and fro filled with threaten
ing and stirring up strife, the one aban-
doning his benefactor and allowing him,
now that no more favors are expected,
to fight his battles alone.
All these difficulties, which eau
tiouS and able man might in some man
ner have provided for, are confronting
GRANT to-day, and he is totally with |
out fertility of resources to meet them. !;
His efforts are now becoming as frantic
as those of an elephant newly caught
in a pit. First in one direction, then
in another he rushes, vainly seeking
light, relief, escape, and always reach
ing the same result, that instead of
mastering the situation, the situation
masters him. He has surpassed all
men in the novelty of his experiments
he has surpassed all men in the num-
Der of his wretched failures. His
boutwell, appointment dssipated the
hope of retrenchment and re-
fern, and disheartened the bust
ness men of his party. His
LoNGSTREET appointment disafected
and even enraged the Southern Radi-
Gals. His choice of women for high pO-
sitions has pleased nobody but SUSAN
ANTHONY and the Sorosis. His negro
selections have by no means delighted
the fanatics, because the negroes chosen
were either obscure negroes, or for some
reason not representative negroes, while
the pet negroes like DOUGLASS and
LANGSTON were left in the cold as calm
ly as if they had been white politicians.
The Indian appointment, that of PAR
KER, is too subtitle in its policy for COM
mon understanding-while the Cop
pcrhead appointments, like that
of CARLILE, have merely turned
dissatisfaction into rage. Among the
aspirants and their friends there is al
most open war upon the President or
each other; among the masses there is
disgust for the greedy grabbing for
place that has marked this Administra-
tion moro than any other, and half
contempt for the President who, elected
as the strongest man on earth has shown
himself the weakest in dealing with the
dissensiOns of the party that elected
him, and in restraining those indecent
outbursts ofpassiou and Ofambition that
have rendered GRANTS civil career fully
as ridiculous as his military career was
notable.
