the people OF this country. The part that
Mister Butler took in those proceedings is we'll
known and it Is also remembered that, not
wIthstanding the vindictive feeling of the
members and Senators against the President,
a feeling that was capable Of influencing thee
to severe persecution of Mr.. Johnson, he
was only saved from conviction because of the
intense hatred felt for Butler, who would have
been pulled into magnificent proportions had
the impeachment trial proved a su -csss.
In order to nip Mister Buffers lofty aspira-
tions in the bud, a few of the Senators could
sacrifice the pleasure of perseoutiHg the Presi
dent, and he was acquitted. To Benz min f.
Butler he is indebted for the safety of his Off
cial head, and now that Benz amin has come
for his reward, it cannot be thought at all i'm
pudent.
AS cheeky proceeding it does not approach
the attempt to secure surrender of Fort
Fisher by his powder explosions, or to envelOp
New Orleans in an atmosphere OF loyalty by
transporting the plate and valuables of the
people from the city.

the most Stringent measures to have the aid
to the Pacific Railroad refunded. Another
great work may be mentioned, perhaps, as
justfyipg similar aid under proper security
for repayment-that is, telegraph line to con-
neot Asia with America. The vast aud
rich trade of China aud Asia generally could
be turned to and across this continent by that
means. In fact, such telegraphic oommuni-
cation is necessary as a complement to the
Pacific Railroad and our steam navigation
aor oss the Pacific Ocean. The advantages to
this country and to every citizen in 1t would
be ipcalculable. Besides these two great
works there is hardly anything else to which
Cor gress should lend its aid in the present
state of the finances aud of the country. The
numerous bills for railroads and other local
Jobs ought to be unceremoniOusly kicked out
Retrenohment and economy in every depart
ment of government should be demanded, and
the current expenses ought to be cut down
fully one. half before the Fortieth Congress
expires. Should Congress be disposed to
continue its reckless extravaganza, and rush
Jobs through which are before 1t at the heel
of the session, Mr.. Johnson could not end his
Presidential term with more glory than to put
his foot down on such legislation. Knowing
that General Grant is for reform, the rings
will make extraordinary efforts this session,
and therefore it behooves the present Bxecu-
tive to watch and Illustrate their schemes as
far as he has the power. 1t is to be hoped
there may be better state ofthings under the
new administration and new Congress-.

Benjamin +. Butler, M. C. from Massachu-
setts, the Washington dispatches have told us,
acted the part of toady at President Johnson's
New Year reception to considerable and sig
nifcant extent. The conduct of Benjamin f..
Butler, NJ. c., upon that occasion, was the
subject of some comment and it is the con-
cusion among those who have "put their
heads together" that the redoubtable hero OF
Font Fisher and the woman order is seeking
the assistance of the President to punish some
of those holding Government positions in Mas
sachusetts, and who did not assist Benjamin

Generally, this will be thought a very inn

Grant md NOnrress.

From ute NoShUt ie linton
General Graut has put his foot down aud
declared that he will 10. De ruit the Presidency
to be pair OF stocks. His requirement for
the repeal OF the civil tenure law is require
ment involving the restoration of the Execu-
tive office to its former forcs and its former
freedom His declaration for the Forty first
Congress TO meet h M at the threshold of his
administration is nothing less than bid for
new alliance, and an announcement of q new
departure. His quixotic, but perhaps sincere,
intentions for economy of administration
show all animus, if not a capacity, to stop the
torrent of extravsganoe and corruption which
has flowed as vital sap through the party aud
stimulated it to its monstrous growth.
These three things mark at present the little
spring which is to widen into mighty river
OF contention. To be sure, the last, desire
for economy, is only an aspiration. But Gene
raj Grant is very practical man, and his as
pirations soon find opportunity for realization.
II he attempts as he WILL to realize this one,
he will break, by having to break with his
party. Look, for instance: an exposure OF the
revenue frauds and their stoppage in New
York impoverishe and antagonize Morgan,
Bailey, Shook, and all the rest of the ring of
whisky and Federal and State officials. Even
hostile or critical attitude towards the Paci-
fc Railroad ring impoverishes and antagoDizes
Pomeroy, Drake, Cole, Corbett, Williams,
Conness, Thsyer, Tipton Ramsey, l. Don
nelly, Gorhaai, Loan, Rice Of Arkansas, and
half hundred other leaders VINO control the
party from west of the Mississippi "as far for
quantity" as the Pacific Ocean.
Even a decent respect for the opinion OF
such mankind as Trumbull, Fessenden,
Fowler, Henderson, and Grimes antagonizes
all the Buffers, Binghams, Chambers, For
neys, Summers, Wades, Howards, Yateses,
and Ramseys OF the party, while difference
to these latter estrspge the anti-impeachment
radicals, and those, more sensible, who have
come to agree with them, the Mortons, Sher-
mans, Frelinghuysens, Conklings, and Morrills
OF the organization.
Collectively speaking, the sudden stamp
upon the Civil-tenure law has started the
whole party and disaffected two-thirds of
them in advance.

Congressional Jobs.

From the ". T. Herald.
The Fortieth Congress has but two months
more existence, and looking at its past history
and at the vast budget of jobs before it and
those in process OF incubation, we fear the
Treasury and the tax payers will be made to
sweat before 1t expires. The railroad, tariff,
bondholders, bank, and numerous ether rings
are preparing for grand onslaught upon Con-
gress and the Treasury. Since the war COM
menced tens and hundreds Of millions have
been appropriated and squandered in the most
reckless manner. Even in tbs fourth year OF
peace the expenditures of the Government
have been kept up to an ordinary war figure.
Congress has been SO accustomed to lavishly
appropriate vast sums for everything, that it
seems incapable of understanding the word
economy or of returning to anything like the
economical expenditure of former times. In
fact it has become utterly demoralized in the
matter of expenditure.
Without reckoning the interest on the pub
lie debt, the sums appropriated for the current
expenses of the Government amount to four
times what was expended niue years ago.
Does any one believe this is necessary Do
we not all know that this is most reckless and
monstrous extravaganza The rings and the
lobby. which are bent upon thrusting their
hands deep into the Treasury, know by expe-
riepce how demoralized Congress is, and will
make hsy while the sun shines. We may
expect, therefore, at the heel OF the session,
amidst the confusion of business, a rush OF
hills for all sorts of jobs and under every con-
ceivab!e disguise. All the buncombe speeches
aiout economy amount to nothing, and will
be probably to deceive thS nD9S P9SpS SS
r their plundering schemes.
There may be some few broad national pro
iects for which Government aid may be lent,
but il should and can be done in such way
as not to be burden on the Treasury. Tht
Pacific Railroad was one of them. Every c'u
zen ia interested in the great work. The whole
country will be commonly benefited. But thai
is no reason why the numerous other railroad
scbemes now before Congress should be con
strnoted by Government aid. Nor is there any
reason why the Government should not taxi

Franklin Frauds.

From The Chicago Repub tcdn
The surprising developments which have
been made since attention was called to an
individual case of fraud on the Post Office De-
partment, by the use of stamp counterfeit
ing the signature of a certain Congressman,
indicate the stupendous prostitution to which
the frankng privilege has been subjected.
Evidences 60 to show that the forgeries are
not confined to any one city, or even one
State, but are in vogue in various commercial
centres in various portions of the Union, par
ticularly at the East. 1t is impossible, of
course, to estimate with precision the losses
which the postal revenues have sustained
from this species of swindlipg, but probably
100000 would be under rather than over
due allowance. How long this surreptitious
conveyance of mail matter has been going on
is not known; but the unblushing effrontery
which characterizes the crime, and the extern
sive scale upon which it has been committed,
favor the idea that the practice is not of recent
date.
The whole subject d. serves a searching and
unspariDg investigation at the hands of Con-
gress; and offenders, whenever discovered,
should be brought to condign punishment.
One of the first duties which Senate and
House owe both to themselves aud the coun-
try on reassembling is to appoint special
committee, several or joint to ferret out these
frauds upon the department. There have not
beenS wanting persons who have more than
limited that the forgeries have been oonnived
at by corrupt post-ofice officials in some in
stances, and in others by members of the Ma
tional Legislature. If there is any truth in
such allegations, the guilty parties should not
be permitted to escape if there is none, then
it is equally desirable that no unjust imputa-
tiOn should be allowed to taint the characters
of innocent persons. Another duty of Con-
gress, made plain and imperative by these
recent developments, is to place the franking
privilege under such restrictions that frauds
will become impraoticable. 1t is just such
leaks in the revenues, external and internal,
that swell the volume Of taxes to be laid.
Every dollar due to the Government, that is
not collected, creates deficit which must be
made up from the pockets of the honest and
law-abiding classes of the community, who
are most deserving of protection.
