"Retrenchment.o ="

Newspapers of "moral ideas are now
making good deal of noise about the
retrenchmunt of the departments at Wash
ington, in discharging government clerks
II there are more clerks than are needed,
they ought to be dischai ged, but there are
many rumors, and from "loyal" sources,
that the Grand Army of the Republic has
ordered cleaning out in the departments,
for the purpose OF installing its own men,
Retrenchment, even on small scale, is
good thing, but this retr nchment is so
insignificant that it is not worth the hull
labalOo made over it. Saving few hun
dred thousand dollars when there ought
to be reforms made which would save a
hundred millions, is virtue of such
doubtful character that it ought not to be
specially commended. After paying in
terest on the public debt, the expenditures
of the Government the present year will
exceed $2000O0,0O0.
The discharged clerks are men ap-
pointed under Johnson, and therefore OBJ
noxiOus to the powers that be- Among
them are crippled soldiers, but their mu-
tilation presents no evid nee of "loyalty !"
to the men ordering their discharge. They
are turned out and able bodied politicians
retained. Does such retrenchment origi-
nate In patriotic economy ?-E1ctange.

The Suns Two Lists.

THURSDAYS Sun is bright as a new but

ty not unworthy Punch in its palmiest
days. VOici
We have been told that Gen Grant keeps two
lists OF names always by him, both of which he
consults before making any important appoint
ment: one Ii list of the contr butOrs to the pur-
chase OF the several houses presented to him. and
the other Is lis, of the stockholders of the Sun
taken from the complaint in the libel suit of John
Russell Young, which, by the way, happens to be
incorrect. No man, IL is said, can receive any i'm
portant appointment-blood and marriage rela-
tions always excepted-unless his name is found
upon the list of donors to the President and is
not found on the list of stockhoders of the sun

Vermont Democratic State Convention.

The Democrats of Vermont held dele
gate State Convention in Montpelier, on
Thursday, June 18th, nearly every portion
of the State being represented. Hon. w.
H. Fl. Bingham, of Stow. presided Ho-
mer w. Heaton, of Montpelier, was NOM

adherence to the Constitution of the United
States as the safeguard of the States.

Another Cabinet Explosion.

Mr.. U. s. GRANT has been President of
the United States three months and twen-
ty-one days. The second explosion of his
Cabinet occurred yesterday. The venera-
BILE Mr. Borie, the man who gave Mr.
Grant a mansion in Philadelphia, and the
office-holder whose most remarkable
official performance has consisted in bor-
rowing-or BOrteing-names for Ameri-
can ships from all the ancient heather
mythologies, rendered his resi- ignation, and
retired precipitately from the Executive
presence. A Mr. RobesOn-a New Jersey
lawyer who don't even pretend to know a
bOwsprit from sheet anchOr-was called
in to take the old heather mythologist's
place.
1t is perfectly well known to persons
who are in a situation to give an Occa-
sional peep behind the scenes at Wash
ingtop, that Grants Cabinet has been
quite the reverse of harmonious ever since
its appointment In most disaereements
that have occurred, Grant himself has
been the alleged cause His irascible tenn
per and obstinate disposition, united to his
great ignorance i'll public affairs have, on
two or three previous occasions. come
very near producing Cabinet explosion.
Mr.. Fish has never been at ease in the
Cabinet. Between him and Mr. Grant
there is no personal sympathy, and not
much political sympathy. The similitude
of "a Fish out of water" is, in
his case, peculiarly aprOpos. The at
mosphere of unreasoning and unthink-
ing prejudices that surrounds the present
Chief Magistrate is not the element of his
nature, his habits, or his education. The
public need not be surprised to hear, on
any day, that Mr.. Fish has rendered his
resignation.
Excepting Mr.. Fish, there is not a states
man in the Cabinet, and it cannot be said
of him that he belongs to the class of
statesmen who have hitherto shed lustre
upon the office he holds. The weakness
of the Cabinet occasiOned surprise and
disappointment to the country upon its
first announcement 1t had been gene
rally thought that Mr.. Grant would make
up for his own deficiencies in the high
character and superior abilities of the men
he would bring around him. But, instead
OF doing so, the men chosen for his con
stitutiOnal advisers were but little superior
to himself The majority of them were
obscure or unheard-Of local politicians.
trained to follow some popular prejudice
or impulse, but wholly unfit to act as
helmsmen TO the ship of state. That
such men should quarrel with one another,
and with their official, but by no means
intellectual, superior, is not surprising.
Indeed, it would most surprising if they
should not do so.-Chicdg0 Times, June 26.
