MR.. JENcHEs, member of Congress
from Rhode Island, lectured a few
days ago in New York, on the Civi!
Service bill. Among other things he
stated that owing to the frauds and
populations of the Radical office
holders-all, OF course, truly loyal
more than 100000, 900 have been di
verted during the past yesr, from the
vsults OF the Treasury ''iuto the peck
cts Of these fraudulent officers or into
the pockets of their confederates." p
Mr.. JENCKEs said that if the revenue
were honestly collected the whole
81 public debt would be paid, so soon as
, il natures : but it is not collected and
cannot be, because the larger portion
is annually stolen. BY whom? NoT
the rebels-nor the copperheads-but
by the representatives of RadicaIism
itself-itS chosen and elected officials.
That is right-let US have the truth
Mr.. JENCREs! Your statement can
not be whistled away as a "rebel lie''
"a '1copperhoad SANDER" We have
no idea that matters will improve

THOSE Republicans who ara strep
uously urging an amendment of the
Constitution to deprive the States of
control over the suffrage question.
would do well to refresh their memo.
~ by reading the following plank
from the platform on which the late
Presidential election wa carried:
The guarantee by Congress of eouaI
suffrage to all loyal men at the South
was demanded by every consideration
OF public safety, of gratitude, and of
Justice, and must be maintained:
while the question of suffrage ia all he
loyal, States properly belongs to The peO-
pie Of those NQteS-Cia. Ere. ChToNi-

far succeeded In examining the darkey

judging by the past they will succeed
in their full and final triumph.

A Palace for the President.

~
The New York Journal of Commere, re-
marking upon the project to. build a new
Mansion for the President at Washington,
sUys:
Senator Morton's bill goes for buying
thirty acres of ground on Meridian Hill, and
paying one hundred and twenty-five thou
sand dollars for it. This to begin with.
The Executive Mansion" is a thing of
millions probably upon some such clumsy
scale of grandeur as the Capitol, we sup
pose We do not feel as if we were con-
Tossing any lack of useful knowledge when
we say we don't know where Meridian Hill
is. And we don't care to know. Penn
s~ylvania avenu is the only street in Wash
ington of which 1t is necessary to know
anything /; ana the less one knows of that
the better in most cases for both his moral
and material interests. Our criticisms upon
the hill are not upon the proposed site of
the Executive Mansion" but upon the alb
sence of any necessity, so far as the evil
dence goes, of building a new house for the
President If the real object of The bill, as
we suspect, is to rival in the Executive
Mansion" the splendcr and extravaganza of
the palaces of Europe, and surround the
President of the Republic with the pomp
and hunkeyism of an imperial court, then
we pronounce such a scheme as deserving
the condemnation of every man in whose
heart sun fingers some love of antique re-
publican simplicity n virtue.

Radical Policy in Regard to the South.


The developments in Washington
are that the Radicals have commenced
the prosecution of a new policy with
regard 10 the south. Coercion, carpet
bagging and negro suffrage having
failed To establish a durable State
government In the South, an extern
sion of scalawag influence is resolved
upon. Southerners who viii cooperate
with Grants Administration are to
nave all disabilities removed, given
large shares in the railroad and other
robberies now going on, & then be ele-
waited to a high office, while those who
viii not are to be subject to persecu-
ton and prescription.
Mr.. Buffers speech against Mr..
Christy, from Georgia, sounds the
keynote to thenew programme. Ev-
cry petty officer in Virginia who does
not give in his adhesion to it is to be
removed in thirty days. The hope is
by dividing the Southern people, and
:reating bitter feuds among them, to
make them finally an easy prey.

How Is 1t Done :


"Mack," the able correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer. writing from
Washington, says: 'I wish 1 could
explain the marvellous power of en-
richment which seems to inhere in
the Office of Congressman. I could
name several instances in which it
has been exercised 20 a remarkable
extent. 1t cannot be that the habit
of caring for the public purse and
treasure so reacts upon the Individual
intrusted with this duty as to teach
him the practice of economy i'm his
W affairs to the extent of enabling
him TO save a million in six years. out
of q salary of $500 per aunum. Yet,
1 could name men who have done this
very thiDg-who have entered the
Senate when they hadn't a sixpence
to bless themselves with-remained
in office six years, with a salary of
$4,000 a year and mileage, lived better
than they ever had lived before, and
at the end of their term were worth Il
clean million"

THERE is a depiorabIe lack of or

democrats Of the General Assemble
We have many able and true men in

never recovered sufficiently from their
surprise at finding themselves in, fle
majority, to determine what 10 dn
with their power Thus FAR The r.
puollcans seem able to carry their
leading partisan measures.-CraWford

This fac; is source of great regret
to every Democrat. Il wa observ,
bic last winter, and we fear is much
worse this session. There is no ssfatv
for the country but In the thorourh
unity Of the Democracy and individ.
ual members Of deiberative bodies
should usually be willing to concade
something to the judgment of a ma

Without this a majority can accom-.
plish nothing, and will only iniure
the party.
