When Mr. Morrill, started back to Maine he
was understood to be fully determined on
pressing his claims against Mr. lIamlin, on the
ground that the blank ballot which would have
tied the vote in caucus if cast for him
yitiated the nomination. He was met, how
ever, on his return, by fatal detection
among his immediate personal supporters,
the Senator and Representatives from
Kennebcc having signed card de-
claring that they were forced to regard Mr..
Hamin as fairly nominated, and that there
fore they meant to vote for him. Mr.. Morrill,
thereupon promptly and happily terminated
the contest by publishing a card of withdrawal.
This handsome waving Of all claims on his
part will relieve the question of embarrass-
mont The earnest Republicans of the whole
country will rejoice at Mr.. Hamlin's success,
not mt Mr.. Morrilfs defeat.

NEWBORN DAILY TRIBUNE MONDAY JANoANi 10. ~

our new President most wisely are the men
who say TO him that, If he would take Dohus
for the success Of his administration, he VIII
counsel the massage of Il measure which VIII
elevate the pubic service. The passage OF Mr.
Ienckps,s hill will. we are sure, do much toward
tbat result. OF the details of his bill
we have nothing to say. 1t may be wise to
create n Board. making the Nice-Presldent the
head of it, or It may be wise TO ignore 'he
Vice Presidency and appoint an lndependeho
Board of Commissioners. What should be
done however is to purify the civil employ
ments. We see the result of inefficient service
in the imperfect collection of taxes, the con-
stantly recurring frauds Ipoji the revenue !teee
loss of millions to the Treasury, the CONVEX
sion OF great places like the Custom House
into political hospitals for decayed politicians
;,1,i aud the general sentiment in the minds OF the
people that to he employed in the collection OF
the revenue is to be engaged in 9iscieui'-
able occupation In fact, an honorable man
cannot seriously contemplate entering public
Office without regret
We are, therefore, for the passage OF Mr..
Jenckess bill, or for bill embodying its
principal ideas. We trust the House will con-
slider this measure broadly, promptly, and in
trcpdly, and that it will be deferred by no
considerations but those of public welfare.
Gen. Grants administration will be success
if the men who serve him are worthy. He can
only lihd worthy men by making it an object
for them to serve the Government. lie can
best do that by inducing Congress to elevate
the standard OF public employment, or, failing
in Congress, to take upon himself that respon-
sibility. If there is a better plan than that of
Mr.. Jcncl,cs let it be tried. But none better
has yet been suggested.

We cannot speak in terms of commentator
sufficiently warm of Mr.. Buffers 6euevoence
in wishing for every pauper in the District OF
Columbia an adequate and cOnsOlat0ry belly
full, and pleasngly consideratc is il in him to
bring in resolutions for the relief of those
who. are "an hungered." AT the same time,
considering how potent is the human imagin-
alton, especially when sharpcued by absti-
ncncc, we think that Mr.. Butler might hit
upon plan of satisfying the pauper appetite
by some process which should bear the same
relation to actual eating which paper money
bears to gold and silver A restaurant might
be economically fitted up. upon the walls of
which the eager eye might discover pictorial
legs of mutton and the counterfeit present
mcnt of the generous srloIn. 1t ia evident
that, according to Gen. Buffers principles,
walk through this gallery of gusto would he
quite rs nOurshing as the consumption OF
generous dinner. Upon leaving, each applicant
might be presented with plate and a spoon,
and strongly exhOrted to go home and eat his
pottagc by the force of faith, while the bene-
fciary might at the same time he informed
that although he did not perceive it, he had
actually n loaf, and large one, of excellent
sion, he might receive upon his first visit a tin
dish and Il pewter spoon, with the information
that if he really believed that there was soup
in the one, he might flourish the other with
infinite satisfacton Under that economical
system which takes it for granted that chalk
may be changed into cheese. simply by
swearing that 1t is cheese, we may an
ticpate period of popular plenty
really unriyalcd since the age so absurdly
oycrrated as golden. Whether a man in his
shrt-sleey can be mesmerized into fancying
that he is buttoncd To the chin in warm
great coat, we are not prepared to say; but
that there can be such a thing rs hunger or
nakedness after the dawn of n paper-mOuey
millennium we think extremely improbable All
will he serene if the mills of MammOn only
grind fast enough We are willing to admit
that the experience of mankind has hardly
been favorable To this p0etical provender. 1t
was tried in connection with rag money, in
France, toward the close of the last century.
"Our gates,' wrote an Englishman at
that time in Paris, are sometimes

If you offer them OsSgnGts then refuse,

"paper-it is bread we want But it would be
absurdly modest to assume that we arc not far
in advance of Frenchmen seventy years ago. IN
the art of manufacturing money and of utilizing
the pleasures of the imagination. The harpes
can carry away nothing from our tables. if
there is nothing thereon for them to snatch;
nor will there he any pickpockets when there
is nothing in our pockets worth stealing, and
when every man has just as much money as he
wants and little more. The horse in Ilieroces
came very near to living upon one oat day;
and it would be a crying shame if we had not
improved q great deal in all these years. Let

ment of Phantom Dinners ut once!

The question of declaring unequiyocally that
the Five-Twenty bonds are payable in gold is,
us we hear from Washington, likely to come
up this week. We do not know what may be
its chances, but we beg Senators to remember
the vital Importance Of preserving our credit
and repelng the insidiOus attacks lately
made in many forms and even from respecta-
BILE quarters. A dshonorcd and dsgraced pri
vate debtor may find refuge aud opportunity
to retrieve his errors in q new locality but
there is no place on earth where nation
with sullied credit and tarnlshcd honor can
hide itself and start anew In dealing with
our National Indebtedness now, we are settling
the question for all future time, whether
the name of the American Republic shall be
the foremost National name in the financial
ceRters of the world, or be a by-word and re-
prOach. The success of any plan for funding
our debt, reducing our rate of interest or
bringing the country back to specie pay
ment will depend upon our enjoyment
of the unquestioDing confidence of our
own capitalists and those of Europe. 1t is
painful that the honor and good faith of the
nation which should be to us one Of the most
sacred things in life, should be even q subject
of discussion at home or abroad. The National
intention to discharge our Bonded Debt in good
faith in the money of the world, when not
otherwise expfessIy pfovidsa in the contract,
ssihonld he placed above suspicion, by the passage
of the Resolution of Senator Edmunds, or some
similar unequivOcal declaration.

Democrats who, for the present, prefer demo
cratic monarchy to Il republic, may all be
included in the Government party, but there IS
great difference between them, even as re-
CARDS the future form of government, the
Progressists and Democrats are reported
to have of late drawn nearer to the outspoken
Republicans; and even if the Monarchists shall
have-as they probably will haye-a majority
in the Constituent Cortes, there is among them
very radical and essential difference of views
There are those who will vote for Espaltero,
III preference TO any prince, and who may Sc
cure the vote of the entire Republican party
in case the latter are in a minority. This
;,iisagrecmept may not be sufficient to
prevent the election Of a priuce, but a
great divergence of opinion will undoubtedly
show itself in the discussion of the new Con-
stitution, which will be very different accord
ing as it is shaped either by the influence OF
the Liberal Union or by the united Progressists
and Democrats.

We are unwilling TO believe the Senate capa-
bic of confirming Mr.. Smythe at this late day
and under all the circumstances of the case, as
Minister to the Empire of Russia. Mr.. Smythe
his claims now and we refuse to think that
the Senate means to approve them till we see
the vote. We can contriye to get along for
six weeks more without n new Minister to St.
Petersburg. Then Gen. Grant will doubtless
give fit consideration to Mr.. Smythes case.
