myriads Of redundant clerks and off GERS,
which has transpired, did not as fully
tell on The first quarters expenses as it
will on the others, we see no reason
why the saving on the first quarter
should not be eqaaled throughout the
year. If SO, the joint gain, on both
revenue and expenses viii amount to
$50, coo, 900 a year, a gain which
seems almost impossible, as the result
ofwhateVer administrative skill
Though President Johnson's outgo-
ing Secretaries protested against the
appropriations by Congress for the cur
rent year as wholly inadequate, and pre-
dicted large deficiency, it is now known
that there viii De a surplus of 337, 000,-
600, and for the first time in many years
there will be no deficiency bilP' be-
fore Congress. Where Secretary Nc
Culloch declared he could not possibly
get along with soslittle, Mr.. Boutwell,
viii return that he has been unable to
spend so much.
That fearful nest of corruption, the
Indian Bureau, has been broken up,
and the services it formerly failed to
render are being efficiently performed
by army subalterns, who were then
lounging around the cities, but whom
Grant has detailed to special duty on
the frontier wherever they could be set
at work. The bureaus and departments
have been vigorously, and without fa-
vor, swept clean of all pretended
functionaries who drew salaries from
the Government while giving most or
all their time to private business.
lnbeciles and knayes have been weeded
out. In all this President Grant has
kept the promise of this platform and
inaugural, and the result is seen in the
balance sheet.
Admitting that the first four months
OF an administration are too short a
term for the estimate of it's full powers,
we still cannot but see in President
Grants course thus far the opening of
a successful administration, the assur-
ance Of continued triunphs to the Re
publican party, aud the guaranty OF a
more perfect peace and more certain
and enlarged prosperity than the coun-
try has known for many years. There

as heartily and dcvoutly as in the old,
dark, trying times We used to thank

ExPLANATIoN.-The n. W. i'd
Uance takes exception to our sta ement
last week that it had declared in favor
Of Judge Orion for Governor in case
he should become candidate" We
had no intention Of misrepre senting the
-1dgaace nor any desire to ''frighten
temperance men connected with the
Republican party;" We simply con
densed in an item the Adoaace's posi-
ton as we understood it. The Advonce
explains as follows
Should Judge Orion receive the
nomination, all temperance men OF his
party may consistently give him their
votes, and, should no man be put IN
nomination by the Republican party
who, as temperance man, merits the
support of temperance men, we should
advise such Of The Republican party to
give him their votes also.
If each party nominates reliable
man, ell may vote consistently in ac-
cordance with present party relations !;
if either party .nominateS q true man
and the other fails to do SO, Let all
men of both parties sustain the temper
ance man if neither party brings for
ward such a man, Let the temperance
men make an independent nomination
of one themselves This is the position
by the Aagdace, and tue position we
expect it to maintain. And this posi-
tion is taken, considering the temper
ance question of more importance than
any other now demanding the special
attention of the people.

SUCCESS AT ANY COST"


This is the rallying cry with the
democratic journals of the country at
the present times The question which,
agitates the leaders Of that party is not
how they may make their principles so
attractive and popular that the people
maybe led to indorse them, but rather
by what change Of issues or policy, or
with what sqcriico of principles they
shall be enabled to obtain power in the
Government and enjoy the spoils Of Of
flee. In the earlier days of the Re.
public, political parties were formed
for the purpose of securing the adop-
on of some certain line of policy in
the management of the Government,
and, whether success or defeat attended
them, they adhered to their objects till,
In the course Of events, other issues SUI
perseded them But this Democratic"
party cares nothing for principles or
policies except as vehicles In which it
can ride to success, and, as soon as it
becomes evident that this object can
not be accomplished through one set
Of principles or line of policy, it does
not hesitate to abandon them for others,
The Cincinnati Enquirer says, ''politi-
cal organizations should take the same
measures to secure success that an in
diyidual does in ordinary business life !"
that is, if they do not win in one way
try another. The n Y. RorM endorses
the Enquirer'S sentiments and proposes
that the party abandon its opposition to
negro sufrage-not because it is con-
WINGED negro suffrage is right, but be-
cause it despairs Of defeating it-and
endeaVor to secure enough of the negro
vote to hoist the party into power; in
which case, the World says ''the party
may not deem it expedient to deprive
the negroes Of franchise which is
found on trial to be not inconsistent with
democratic ascendancy." The Water
town Democrat sees in these venal SEN
timents step IN the right direction
which harbingers victory. But it goes
farther than the others and admits the
previous wanderings of the party by
saying that "once in the path OF duty
and patriotism, there need be no fears
as to where we shall be conducted. To
be right is always to be strong, and
once planted on firm ground, it is only
a question of time and argument when
the majority oftIe people will be found
there too"
! But it requires no wide acquaintance
with history nor very far seeing WIS
dom to perceive that any party, organ
iceland operated simply for the purpose
ofparty success, as the World and En-
qqeirer propose, can never prosper and
in the higher course which the
Democrat would have the party pursue
we can sec no brighter hope for the
Democracy, for it leads to no vacancy
the party now in power has received
the hearty Endorsement of the people
and so long as the present issues agitate
the country We see no reason to expect
that It's policy will fail to receive theil
continued favor and support.

ElTe Rea1nbhnas1- -.-a~~ sa----
As the time approaches for holding the
Republican state convention the claims and
merits of candidates are being discussed and
as there are many for the several nominal
tons to be made, 1 would suggest that
W elshman be put up on our next icket.
The Welshmen of Wisconsin are and always
were, true, steadfast and reliable Republi
cans. It is high time that that class of Our
citizens should be honored with candidate
the compliment is well deserved, and the
convention viii act wisely and generously
by making them that award In this con-
nection I would suggest the name of Mr..
John Vaughan, of Racine, for the Office of
State Prison Commissioner. IIeis Welsh
man by birth and a gentleman by training
and education; he is merchant, good
business man, and correct accountant He
has been o member of the City Council
of Racine the past eleven years. He is all
that can be said ola good man or q good cit
izen. If the time has come to change the
present State Board of Officers, (and think
it has, then in making new ticket, the
name of Mr.. Vaughan will be the strongest
and wilI command amongst his countrymen
a universal approval and generous sup
port.
In this idea am strengthened by the faith
that the combining of the different elements
of the Republican party, and the giving
to all on the ticket Will be in
full accordance and harmony with National
platform, and the liberal advancement of
the party in Wisconsin. I am not q Welsh
man, nor does this suggestion come from
that quarter. 1t comes from one that wish
IS long lease Of power to the party that
rebellion, made all men equal,
and preserved the nation.

the election of Gilbert G. Walker, con
sorvatiYe Republican, by a majority of
10000 This has been claimed by
democratic journals throughout the
country as being democratic victory /;
but while there is no doubt that Walker
received larger democratic vote than
his opponent, still in this latitude DEM
oerats would scarcely be satisfied with
a candidate who should say as Walker
does "You must remember that we
have succeeded on the platform Of es'i-
gersU S45fago and equal rights = and
the colored men must be educated and

has been conferred upon them.' These

A Coon IDEA-The suggestion
Of our correspondent, whose letter we
publish in another column, that the
Welsh Republicans Of the State should
be represented on the ticket this fall,
is a good one and deserves the consider
alton of the convention. No class of our
citizens. has been more unanimously
or consistently Republican than the
Welsh, and, if they unite in presenting
candidate, we do not think that the
convention will be inclined to dispute
the justice of his claims or question
the propriety of allowing them.

THE GREAT CANON OF COLOR
AnO.

ADO.
The Falls Of Niagara we're once con
sidered the grandcst natural wonder
on the continent, bat explorers found
IN the distant west cataract far more
magnificent in itself and its surroundings
than Niagara. Then came reports of the
wonderful Yosemite and all other known
works of Nature shrunk in comparison
with that marvellous valley, hemmed IN
with walls nearly a mile in height.
But all these wonders dwindle into
insigni6cance when compared with the
"Great Black Canon of the Colorado
River" Imagine, if possible, chasm
four hundred miles in length, a mile
wide, and with perpendicular walls
three, five and even seven thousand
Feet high, and you will have some idea
of this grandest and most terrible of
all Natures wonders. Into this fear
full gorge rushes the great Colorado
River swollen with the waters gathered
over nine degrees of latitude and along
the sides of two mountain ranges.
What mysteries that terrible channel
eoreeals may never be known. Tray
elers have looked down from the bank,
a mile above the stream, aud seen it
plunging over rapids in one place and
flowing sluggishly along in another,
but no where on either side for the
whole length, is the river accessible
from above. Only one person IS
known to have ever passed through
the Canon alive, and he gives only
vagues reports of the terrors of the
dismal passage. Overcome with hor-
ror at his situation, he noted and re-
members only the roaring Of the wa
tiers among rocks, cataracts and whirl-
pools, and the midnight darkness which
surrounded him EXCEPT for short splce
at MONDAY.
The published account Of his terri
bic voyage, taken in connection with
previous reports of explorers, excited
the interest Of scientific men, and last
year party, thoroughly equipped, led
by Major J w, Powell, Of Blooming
ton, H.. and acting under the au-
spices Of the Government, set out to
make thorough exploration of the
great Canon. Till within short time
the party has been engaged in prellm-
mary Investigations, intending to
undertake the passage OF the Canon
as soon as the spring foods had subsi-
ded. But within the last two weeks
startling reports have been received to
the effect that the whole party, with
enc exception, had been ingulfed in
a whirlpool upon one of the branches
of the Colorado. These rumors need
confirmation, and though there is great
reason to believe that they are founded
in truth, still it is considered BY many
that the story is fabrication. What
the fate OF the gallant party may be, Is
question of general and intense IN
terest, and will continue 50 to be until
It is definitely settled. But if the re-
port of their destruction should prove
true, or if the party should return
without accompiis hing their object,
doubtless other expeditions will be
formed, and the investigation contin
ued until the mysteries Of the Black
Canon are revealed or the utter impos-
sibility Of tathoming them is demon
strated.
