Public Omce..

There are comparative few offices in
the gift Of the government, which, If
honestly administered, viii pay the
order of talent required to ill them as
well as legitimate and honorable bnsi-
ness. 1t would be q misfortune to
most young men to have an Office
given them. Suppose that Mr.. Van
derbiIt or Mr.. SteWrat or Mr. Cooper,
or any one of our first merchants, had
been appointed TO some small office
when young, and held It until the
routine work and drudgery Of it had
united them for mercantile enter
prise aud affairs The best Office any
man can get in this world is the Office
that man may make for himself by
wisely-directed industry, energy, no
bleness Of mind generosity and faith.
Private life to-day offers q thousand
times more inducements, and induce
ments, too, of a higher and nObler sort,
to the ambitious, industrious and
honest men Of the country than any
department Of public service. 1T is
straHge that our people 90 not see that
the real governors Of Ofr State. the
real representatives Of our people, the
real ruhers, are not the men who play
these parts before the public. paying
for the privilege Of exercising q little
brief authority out Of their peace
their honor, their naanliness, often.
times. If our people would only re-
spect their real rulers more there would
be far less furoF and frenzy for factici-
Gus ones and the badges and insignias
OF Office. And when a man seeks an
office for the pickings and stealings,
that he immagines are ineident thretO,
or in order to shirk honest work, or
for the vulgar nOtOriety and applause

Nine Reasons for Woman Suf-
IA fFage

Miss Francis Powl Cobbe, an Eng
lish writer, gives the following reasons
for enfranehising her sex, in a Pham-
phlet largely circulated in England /:
/. Because woman fulfill the property
qualification on which political rights
are based in England.
2. Because the exclusion Of woman
entails a moral and Intellectual loss
to the community at large.
3. Because the interests Of q non-rep-
resented class are liable to suffer.
A. Because the Legislature of Eng
land neglects woman and fayOrs men.
5. Because woman are taxed and do
not share privileges attached to that
burden.
8. Because their legal disabilities
place woman at a serious disadvantage
in competing with men in numerous
business offices and employments.
z. Because in consequence of the
denial Of the suffrage to woman, men
are led to despise and Cypress them
with levity.
8. Because the denial of the right to
the exercise Of their judgement has a
weakening and degrading effect on
the minds Of the women. --rf
Q. Finally We desire the franchise
for women because, while believing
that men and woman have different
work to do in life, we hold that in the
choice of political representative,
they have the same task to toaccomplish,
namely; The Joint selection Of SEN
ate, which viii guard with equal care
the rights of both sexes, and which
shall embody in its laws that true jus
tice which shall approve itself not
only to the strong but also TO the weak.

How iN Htf

The Intelligencer has pointed way of
stating the official qualifications which
FOREMAN most admires. Here is an ex-
tract from its issue of yesterday morn
ing:
How comes it that Carlile and Nat.
Harrison go up to the White House the
best endorsed men that ever went from
West Virginia. Find that out and you
have the sec.ct of success. Political
kuavery is an essential, bnt that alone
will not qualify you. That gees a great
way to be sure. But familiarity with
the history of certain Egyptian King
who once undertook 20 cross the Red
Sea without bridge or boat and made n
wretched failure, or seasons adven-
lures amid the gaieties of the French
ballet, are the qualifications that rec
ommeud a man to our christian and
conscientious Senators for the responsi
ble post of Government mission.
All of which is an ingenious method
of saying that to be recommended by
FOREMAN you must fight the tiger and
run With the "Black Crook"

Again"
Special Telegram to Cincinnati Commercial
NEW YORK. April 26.-The Sun of to-
morrow will contain FIVE columns of an
expose of the secret political maneu,
vering of John Russell Young, the man.
aging editor of the Tribune. Letters are
published from Young to a friend in
Philadelphia. showing that Governor
Curtin was approached by Young, in
the presence of Colonel A. Mcclure, in
the parlors of the Continental Hotel,
Philadelphia, aud that Yeung offered to
to sell to Curtin the Philadelphia Post,
and the editorial influence of the New
York Tribune tor $4,000. Curtin said
that he did not believe he could deliver
his goods, and refused to purchase the
the same. Overtures were then made to
Simon Cameron, who took the bait, and
was feeeed out of Sl2, 200.
AT the same time Galusha A. Grow
was struck for $4,000, and Attorney Cen
eral Brewster, of Pennsylvania, for
$1,000.
The letters also show that, as a Tri.
bune man, Mr.. Young attempted ia
mulct the Union League of Phiiadel-
Phia.
An attempt was also made to bleed s.
L. Chase, but without success.
The correspondence proves oonolu-
sivcly that Mr.. Young took the Cable
diePetUhro of the Associated Press and
sent them to the Philadelphia Post,-a
journal owned and managed by Young,
but outside of tho Association.
Other equally astounding exposures
are made.
The Sun says: "On Friday after
noon last, the originals of the letters
were shown to the Hon. II. Greeley. He
read them through very carefully. He
did not rise to his feet in fiji of passion
and smash the bust of Lincoln adorninc
his sanGtum, neither did he break the
chair. dismember the table, or split the
desk standing in his room. He simply
threw himself back in his chair, drew a
long breath, and said: well, Sam,
this is mighty interesting reading
Twenty three hours afterward he left
the Tribune Ctlice and jammed his black
felt hat on the back of his head, ex-
claiming: We'll, well, sold again for
the eighty-sixth time
Mr.. Young rendered Mr.. Greeley his
resignation, but it was not received.
Instead, the owners of the gallant old
craft assembled in the venerable Hor-
aces private office yesterday afternoon,
and IL is understood that there Jonah
was tossed overheard. Mr.. Greeley, it
is said, in consequence of this expose,
has withdrawn his acceptance of the
Pacific Railroad Commissionership.

The Tribune Sold.

We reprint from the Cincinnati Com
mercial a special telegram, telling how
the managing editor of the Tribune has
been selling the influence of that paper
and also the dispatches of the Asso'

of the ablest editors in the country.
