,rI,c T.nurc.orOnicc law.

The following remarks ny the fhlla-
,lcIphia Telegraph seems to as TO con-
tain much wholesome good SENSE:
While we fully acknowledge the Wis
dom and prOprictY of suspenulnE Inc
operation OF the law for limited peri
uh. we cannot but regard il Hs IL useful
barrier against tho repetition OF the
fright ul abuses which were pcrpetrated
by the last administration. Ono OF the
mhlaSt commentators on the COnstltu-
ton expressed tho opinion, whlio It's
adoption was debHtable question,
That the provision requiring the con-
consent of the Senate TO Il new appoint
ment also required, by implication,
similar consent to a removal; and so
strong was this belief in the Senate,
when the quest on first practically
arose during Washington's admins
trntiOn, by Il removal without cause,
that half tho members present en-
d0rsed it, the adverse view being
adopted only by the casting vote OF
John Adams, who was then Vice Iresi-
dent, and cherished the anticipation,
which was subsequently realized, that
lie would become WnshinSton's success
SOr.
Even at that early day Alexander
Hamilton denounced the decision thus
given, not only bsCauSe 1t violated the
true principles OF the Constitution, but
because it would tend TO numDGrleSS
evils, and exercise an insidOus in1lu-
rnce over all the ramitcatiOns of Amer
lean government, by making even the
election OF cOns:nbles and justices OF
pence depend upon national politics.
HiunY years elapsed before these pre-
dictions were fully verified. MIR. Da~
Wis stated in the Senate yesterday that
Jefferson had made but about twenty
removals, and that John Quincy Adams
had made but two. But since the cleo
ton of Jackson the doctrine that ttto
the victOrs belong the spoils" has been
generally accepted by all parties; and
for the last forty years the business of
the government has been periodically
deranged, an immense horde OF profess
Gional O1lice-seekers and politicians
have become as hungry and MS rapa-
ciouS AS wolves, and the bitterness of
political contests has been necessarily
increased by the complication OF an in
finite number of varied real or SuPpOS-
ed personal interests with grave nation
al questions.
The practice of changing n hundred
thousand trained officials, for AS many
ignorant ones, once every four years,
and as much oGtener as II new whim
seiZes the occupant of the Presidential
chair, is disreputable, demoraliZing, and
injurious to every substantial interest
1t generates countless host of partisan
Micawbers, who abandon useful indus
inv in the hope that something may
t,Irn up'' to give them n short lease q
office: it deranges the public service
and while it subjects good President
TO n pressure that has already proved
fatal in several instances, 1t gives baC
one power that may be terribly
abused.

Hon. George S. Boutwell,, the new Sec
rotary of the Treasury: Now in Mr..
Boutwell, we have an officer whose pub
lie record and private character are
equally without repronch. He is too
honest to use the vast powers of the
Treasury to disturb financial affairs,
either from caprice, or with view to
make money for himself or his friends.
He is too wise to recommend or adopt
any timid, haliing or narrow policy.
AT critical iunctures of the money mar
ket every fibre OF the body polite thrills
in response to the doings of the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury, and it is because
of Mr.. Boutwell's proved fitness for the
special task intrusted to him that his
appointment is hailed with such gener-
al satisfaction and confidence.

smperstitIons OF a. 7. stewart


Perhaps the most singular character
istic of Mr.. Stewart is his alleged super
stition. He is said TO ignore to n great
extent the business tact, ability and
foresight which were undoubtedly the
carvers of his vast fortune, and to at
tribute his success in life solely to luck t.
And this idea is the cause of numerous
ludicrOus occurrences in his career.
When he kept his store on Broadway,
between hurry and Warren streets.
there sat on the sidewalk before it, on
an orange box, an old woman, whose
ostensibio occupation was the selling OF
apples. This business was, however,
merely pretence; the main object be-
ing begGnry. AS years rolled on, Mr..
Stewart became impressed with the idea
that the old dame was his guardian
angel of good luck. and this
impression took so firm hold
upon his mind that, when he re-
took up the old womnn's box, and
removed her to the front of his new
establishment. In further illustration
of MIR. Stewards faith IN the Irish ira
ditinnHl belief in "lucky'' and "un-
lucky" persons 1t may be mentioned
that after the completion of the ST.
Nicholas Hotel, an undertaking in
which he was largely interested, and
when the building was just about to be
opened for the reception OF guests, the
millionaire, standing in the drawing
room, calculated; at is now finished !;
! hope IT'S first visitors may be lucky
people,
n gentleman present, who heard of
MIR. stewards care for the aged az
pie vender, remarked, II presume, sir,
you do not i'll reality care about lucky
or unlucky PERSONS" to which he i'm
medintely replied, Indeed, l do. There
are persons who are unlucky. I some
times open case of goods and sell the
hrst from II to some person who is I'M
lucky and lose on it to the end. l

would not sell if could avoid it,"
