The President and his Electromagnetic
I'erIIs OF POWer-.-FrOm the Letter
Writer'S Standpoint.

From Dom FtdtL'S last Washington Letter.
There Is nothing more dangerous to a
successful political organization than
the patronage that follows victory.
"FOr every Office filled, !" said Tallyand,
81 make one migrate and fifty enemies -
"FOr every Office filed" Grant might
add, 81 make one rascal and five hun-
dred enemies"
This must be the result when the
patronage is in the hands of skilfuI old
politicians, who feel iustinctively the
strong and weak places. But when it is
in the business, but to a blunt, straight
forward soldier, such as Grant, the
confusion and dismay are beyond count.
In. all this the President looks to me
like an elephant feeling his way over a
hoop. pole bridge.
The mystery that can not be penetrat-
ed is, who Influences him? All con-
Cede that there must be some back
door power, but who or what it is defies
scrutiny and speculation. A man is
suggested only to be rejected. At one
time it was supposed that shburne
held the key to the private staircase.
But this is exploded. Then Rawlins
was pointed to. But Rawlins can not
control his own department.. Now John
Sherman is regarded by some as the
Prime Minister and tavorite, but this
human icicle set on end by a mysterious
Providence comes out at times con-
siderably jolted, and in a high state of
disgust.
Let the secret adviser be any ono, or
no one, the fact is patent that the pa
tronage Is being horribly managed, and
the wrath gathers force as the offices
are filled. l do not mean the ordinary
disgust that comes OF disappointment,
but an uglier feeling than that. Here
tofore we have always had certain
eminent leaders who shared the coun-
ellis and readily 6hOuldered the respon-
sibilily, but now these leaders are the
men who were first amazed, and are
now indignant.
Sucn is the state of the political at
mosphere here just now. About the
Capitol one hears nothing but curses,
not loud. but deep, that follow every
batch of appointments. These Con-
gressmen complain that they are not
only disappointed, but are treated in IL
way to add insult to injury. The grim
little sphinx sits in silence, pulling to-
baccO smoke in their eyes, and respond
ing Eyes" or no" with about as much
meaning as there is in his face.
And yet, to one who looks philo-
sophically at the situation, these men
SO treated really make the Government.
General Grant feels his power now,
but it Is the power of the patronage,
and every day this lessons. The time
Is not distant when the politicians Will
have no cause 10 call at the White
House, and the eyes of the people will
be turned to the Capitol, where the
Government really is, and about that
time the little sphinx will Nay aside
his cigar, and look, too, in that direc.
ton.

THE Supervisors of New York, meet
25 times in year, and sit not more
than two hours each time. To keep the
records of these few meetings, they en-
ploy clerk at 5000 year, a deputy
clerk at s., 900, and an assistant clerk at
s., 500; total, $12,sOO, or ovcr $500 for
each meeting. This shows. how econ
omical the Democracy can be where
they have everything their own way.

"HhO in this Hamilton Fish :".-How
He got 10 be Secretary OF STATE.

"EhO IN this Hamilton Fish ?".--HOW
He got 10 be Secretary OF State.
From Dom IiG:t'S last letter in the Cincinnati
Commercial.
While Geaeral Grant was Mt West
Point, after his election, believe the
distinguished statesman of the State
Department called on the President
elect and invited him 10 dinner. Gen.
Grant accepted the invitation and
dined. This was followed by another,
yet mere pressing, to make his house a
home while in West Point. This, too,
was accepted, and the President elect
was fairly domiciled in the palatial res.
dence OF the ex-senator.
The Hon. Hamilton Fish is a superb
entertainer. In all social matters he Is
q master, and the President was fairly
charmed of his feet by the easy free
dom and elegant hospitality of his host.
Inc dinners were admirable, the wines
rare and delicious, while the cigars
Dreamed the soft fragrance OF their ma
tive isle. The hours flew by on golden
WINGS, ana the day came which put the
G!oslnE limit to the pleasant visit.
Hamilton Flsh gave magnificent din
ner. AT the table the President elect
met an old acquaintance, and while
talking to him, after dinner. in the IL
brary, where they smoked tooathar
General Grant suddenly removal tho
cigar from his mouth, threw his thnmh
over his shoulder in the direction of the
dininG-room, where the elegant enter
tainer yet was, and asked in low tone:
WHO is this Hamilton Fish ?"

THE NATIONAL THANKSGIVING.
al gAaRIEr skEAp.

Father Of light, before thy throne
A grateful nation bends
Oh let the tribute OF It's praise
Unto thy courts ascend.
The labOrs Of the year are eb
Its haivests gathered in,
And plentiful, thy name be prs'sed'
Have oil these haryes,s been.
From fair New England tock-rtbbed sh'fe,
Which broad Atlantic lEYes,
T5ybere the young moon hangs her now,
Der blue Pacilc's waves,
The peopIe, yea, the people all,
IL harmony upraise
Their hearts and voices unto thee,
Ia songs Of love and praise.
No more the red winged bird Of war,
Flies shricking through the land,
But the white dove of holy peace
Brings blessings from thy hand.
And thru our country's length and oreadtl
From mountain top IL lea,
Peal out the grand thanksgiving hymns,
Thanksgiving of the free.
Fen for the trials which like IRE
rail- from thy chastGing rod,
We thank thee az for spirit guides
And praise thy name oh ! God
For only in the furnace blast
Is gold made free from dross,
And never brow can wear the crown
Til heart hath borne the cross.
Then halowed be thy glorious name,
Thy kingdom come in might,
Thy will be done upon the eaath
A. ia the Heavens Of light
Thus may thy mercies tune our hearts,
Til hidden TO arise,
At the thanksgiving feast OF saints,
Eternal in the SKIES.
