surd system oil effective responsibility is oblite-
rated. Senators recommend unfit persons be-
cause they arc not responsib for the nomina-
tions; The President nominotes unfit persons be-
cause they are recommended by the body which
is responsible for their confirmation; and the
result is that We have set of appointces which
is generally acknowledged TO be disgrace to the
country
A weak and sordid President like General
Grant would doubtless have made many bad no.
mnations, under any circumstances. But if he
had been allowed to act with the proper re-
spOnsiblity of his position, he would probably
have been more careful, and at any rate, could
have been held to q stricter accountability. lie
has now plausible plea in eXtcnuation, He
con say that his nominal responsibility is dis
Joined from any real power and that he has
merely deferred to those who have assumed the
power of which he Is stripped. The only reason
for having President at all, is that somebody
may be responsible for the selection of officers
and their efficient discharge of their duties. If
the executive head of the Government is ever so
weak and incapable it is better that he should
act under full sense OF responsibility. He will
then seek the aid of responsible advisers
whereas, under the present system he allows
himself to be controlled in many cases by the
irresponsible, utterly thoughtless, and even
reckless and capricious recommendations of
Senator'S yielded to the opportunities of appli-
Cants. No system could be imagined more
subycrsiye of all genuine or efficient response
bility
When General Grant came into Office, he
undertook to recover the just authority of the
President, and for awhile he had the support Of
the House of Representatives in this attempt.
But he was oyerreached by Senators who prac-
tised upon his ineXperience and entrapped him
into asserting to changes in the Tenure-of-O Office
law which he did not understand When he had
thus surrendered his demand for its repeal his
position was fatally weakened, and his moral
power completely lost. The House could no
longer stand by his cause when he had deserted
it himself. A modified bill was Matched in the
npNit Df N nnn ms 10
to the Senate, in a sense exactly opposite to the
House. and passed in hot haste without debate
or deliberation. The President was cowed and
sighed it, and has since been as destitute of
moral or political influence rs he is of real Off
cial power. But it does not become the Repub-
licans who elected him and have thus degraded
his office, to complain of the natural result OF
their own pervcrsity and folly.

THE ARMY OF OFFICF-sEEKERs.

From the ST. Louis Republican,
A Washington correspondent states that, ''for
thirty newly-created positions in one depart
ment, there are over three thousand appliea-
tons.' one hundred aspirants for each place to
be filled, ninety-nine of which, at least must be
disappointed. This, looked at from one point of
view, would be cheering as evidence of the large
number of our fellow-citiZens who are willing to
sacrifice their personal peace and comfort for
the sake of serving their country; but from
Others it is not quite so satisfactory. When we
consider the very high ratio of those who press
themselves into the public service, who have
neither the ability to discharge properly, the
integrity TO discharge faithfully, the trusts they
undertake, it is sorrowful to think how much
better the public would be served if the Govern
ment was free to choose from the best having
no pressure to dictate its selections, and no per-
sonal interest TO limit the number of those from
among whom the choice might be made.
There Is still another point of view from which
the circumstances are the reverse of encouraging
The unprecedentedly large number of Office
seekers indicates proportionately large number
OF persons who are out of employment, and who
want the means, or the opportunity, or the en-
ergy. to choose the way and initiate the Emeans
to make livelihood by some honest pursuit. A
mighty array OF men have been destroyed, eco
nomically, by the war. 1t is one of the manifold
curses of war that it works the economical de-
struction of men. Thousands of persons who
at the breaking out of the war, were engaged in
some form OF productive occupation abandoned
1t for the destructive work of war; or to engage
in some traffic which the existence of war rem
dered for the time being profitable. While the
war made many rich, it also made many poor,
and whether the individual who abandoned his
business on its account adopted fighting or traffic
rs the substitute the effect upon his character
was nearly the same; for the eXcitements of the
one and the yicissitudes of the other alike
served in many cases, to render the pursuit of
peaceful industry npalatable, The result is
that the country is full of demoralized people;
people demoralized by prosperity and demo-
rallzed by adversely; disinclined to industrial
pursuits with disincination that is practically

rTALY-THE DEATH PENALTY.

From the NJ Y Tribune
A despatch from Florence states that the
Court of Appeal, which has for some time been
considering the penal code of the Kingdom of
Italy, has concluded its labors, having unani-
mously agreed that the penalty of death should
be abolished. We may, therefore, with conf
dence anticipate an early expulsion of that
penalty from the land of Beccaria and Cavour.
Italy is a kingdom of some twenty-five mil
lions of souls. Ii not yet entitled to rank
among the great powers of Europe she GER
tainly stands first among kingdoms of the second
class-aboye Spain, sweden, or Turkey. She
has risen rapidly from the third or fourth-rate
position held by the kingdom of Sardinia from
1915 to>1S59, and her alliance Is assiduously
courted by France on the one hand, and Prussia
on the other, in view OF that struggle for the
mastery which cannot be much longer postponed.
Intelligent politicians expect the Popes remnant
of political sovereignty TO lapse on the death of
Plus TX. so that Italy will be one from the
Alps to the southernmost cape OF Sicily; while
the southwark slopes of the Alps, though now
Swiss or Austrian, are Italian in geography, in
language, in race, and gravitate toward the new
kingdom with a momentum that cannot forever
be resisted
1t cannst be said that Italy abOlishes the gall
lows from any weak, sentimental horror of
bloodshed. Unhappily, crimes OF violence and
passion are common among all classes OF her
people. "Blood for blood is the common law;
the stilettois national institutions; assassination
is a trade among her outlaws; and life Is less
safe in her cities than in those OF almost any
sther country OF Europe.
Italy puts away the gallows, because expert
ence has fully proved that it incites more MUIR
ders than it prevents-that its lesson of yen-
geance is unwholesome-t the ignorant and
passionate can never be made to realize that it
is wrong in them to redress their personal lniu-
ries in the same spirit and by substantially the
same means that the State employs in redresslng
wrongs done to the community. She believes
That II State is ever TO teach her people effect
lively TO forswear vengeance and bloodshed, she
must begin by setting them the example.
Ihat the reform thus instituted will prove a

civilized el',L. world We most profoundly hope and

TuE UNITED STATES AND SPAIN.

From the Louisville (Ky.) Courier.
The administration and its whole party are
deeply intent upon getting into trouble with
Spain They seize with avidity upon every IN
cident actual or reported, that seems TO promise
n chance of involvement in hostilities. In this
we have not the slightest sympathy with them.
We earnestly wish well, os we have more than
once said, to the cause of the Cuban revolution,
hoping and trusting that those engaged in it have
honest and pure purposes in view, but we want
no war between the United States and Spain, if
war can be avoided with honor. We do not
see that much, if anything, could be gained by
our country by war, though great deal mi ght
be lost. We could, of course, seize Cuba,
provided Great Britain, France q Co. should
consent, which seems doubtful but Cuba relieved
from Spanish tyranny, might prefer iDdepen-
might prove a siclly body Joined 60 another
siclIy body, the junction Fastening the decom-
position of both. Besides getting Cuba, we
don't know what our Government could wiring
from Spain, for she has no money and nothing
else that we want. Moreover weak as she
seems, and in most respects certainly is, she
could unquestionably, in the event of hostilites,
infict great injuries upon us. She has little or
no commerce of her own, but what ruin she
could, with the sympathies Of all the world alive
in her behalf, work upon us! If the Alabama
and two or three other Confederate cruisers, dur
ing the late war, nearly swept our commerce
from the ocean, how much Of it can we suppose
would be left by two or three hundred Spanish
privateers securing the ocean day and night?
Would not the damage legltmately inflicted
| upon us outweigh ten times over the value OF
| Cuba to us, even supposing Cuba to be valusble?
Let us scrupulously exact justice from Spain,
but let us scrupulously render her justice. This
| is our true policy and our only true one.

THE POLITICAL PROSPECT.


From, the Richmond Dispatch.
There is not one sign just now in the political
horizon unfayorable to Il triumph at the ap
prorching election for that side struggling to
relieve the people of Virginia from thraldOm
more odious than Egyptian bondage. The peO-
pie are growing daily more and more harmoni-
Gus and united in their opinions and purposes,
and we have every reason to believe that they
understand the crisis, and will be ready to meet
it at the day of election. They are beginning
to see that the question is:--The Constitution Us
n whole, or the Constitution eXpurgated of its
now Objectionable clauses. One or the other
must prevail, and between them the choice is 50
plain that none can be mistaken.
The Constitution as it is has received the en-
phatic condemnation of General Grant. So
earnest and explicit has been his execration of
the more obnoxious of its provisions that Gov
ernor Wells and his followers have not dared
openly to advocate them. In their conclaves
they give out their plans, and essay to drill the
poor negroes in the policy of prescription and
persecution of the white peoples but in their
public decaratins and written opinions they
avoid committing themselves to their true posi-
ton, which is one of open hostility to the views
and wishes of General Grant. With incompara-
bic effrontery they even pretend to be exponents
of the Presidents views, and to be entirely in
harmony with him
This is but game of unscrupulous cunning
and dissimulation. TIE only chance for its sue
cess is the playing it out completely with the
impOsture and knavishness that thus far have
characterized it.
But there is a serious obstacle IN their way
The consent aud corporation of higher outho-
rites are indispensable to their purposes; and
here they will be disappointed. Neither in Wash
ington nor in this city will they find themselves
sustained i'll any of their schemes for sitting the
voice of the people of Virginia. We would not
insult those who have the control in the matter
of arranging the manner of the election, by sup
posing it possible that they would entertain any
suggestion intended thus to prevent fair eX-
preston OF the popular will.
Indeed we may 90 further, and declare that
we know the desire of the President is to sub
nit the question on the Constitution in the
fairest manner, and that he has just declared
again his wish often expressed, that the
people of Virginia may vote down the obnoxious
clauses of the Constitution, We mean what we
say here to be understood in the most positive
manner
Then the signs are, we repeat, most cheering,
and we are confident of grand victory for Vir-
ginia, and an ignominious defeat of the party OF
prescription, hate, and blood led on by Cover
nor Wells,
