a knot of political cheats aud desperadoes
The West cannot touch Tammany at any
price. With the example of New York city
-ouf degraded judiciary, the frauds which
go on in the expenditure of the public
money, the quick succession of Infamous
jobs, like the Transcript, devised for the
benefit of Tweed and Sweeny, the unex-
ampled misgovernment witnessed in every
department of the city-with this example,, we
say, before it, the West knows that Tam
many nomination, or even Tammany help,
would be quite fatal to all chance of success.
The country would never choose a Tammany
President. 1t is bad enough to see the
vilest government ever known in the history
of modern times established in the largest
city of the Union. No one in his senses
would vote for placing the destinies of the
whole nation in the hands of similar gov
ernment.
The proposition of Tweed and his friends
amounts to this:-"If you will not take Hoff-
man saddled with the Tammany ring, take
the ring without Hoffman. Throw down the
tool, but spare the hands that have used it. !"
We have very little doubt that the Tweed
party really do intend to throw Hoffman over
board. Having bespattered his name with
their dirt, they know perfectly we'll that he is
ruined as Presidential candidate. 1t is in
consequence of this that we have recon-
mended to their notice a candidate precisely
suited to them-a man utterly devoid of
any principle, as they are; a man who lives
by fraud, as they do man who has an
instructive contempt for every cause and
every principle which is wise or just, as
they have; in short, a man who is fit to be
classed only with professional sharpers. That
is their proper candidate for the Presidency.
Let them herd with their kind. All the
money they can bring to bear upon the elec-
ton in 1872 will not blind the great body of
the people to the fact that their rule would
produce, in the country at large, all the evils
which have rendered New York unhappily
notorious. If they succeed in getting a re-
spectacle man to carry their dishonored
standard, it will only be the ruin of that one
man the more. The great West will have
nothing to do with the inventors of system
which, in very few years, would involve
any Government now existing in utter de-
struction.

ADMINISTRATION WITHOUT BRAINS

4
From the NJ Y. Sun.
The administration has to some extent
finally been awakened by one means aud
another to lively sense of the fact that in
competency and do-nothingism will not
answer the necessities of its position. It's
intelligent Misunderstanding for the moment
out of view its degraded moral tone, its ne
potism, and its appreciation of presents
acquiesce in the truth of all we have said
respecting its feebleness and the inefficiency
of its composition, growing out of the ludi-
crous blunder of originally going outside the
circle of the active leading public men of the
country to find fit persons for Cabinet Offices
and other high stations. They recognize the
folly and mischief of slaughtering the
experienced heads of executive bureaus,
and turning those important offices over to
military and other followers, whose only
recommendation for the places was the per-
sonal relations of the new benefciaries to the
President. They concede that the admins
tration started without ideas, and witho ut
men of brains to conceive them; but in ex-
cuse they plead the inexperience and igno-
rance of General Grant in civil affairs. They
| set up sort of defense against our charge,
by alleging that the country elected General
Grant with its eyes wide open, knowing his
| general character, and necessarily deficient
| qualifications. 1t is not General Grant, they
say, who is to blame. 1t is the people who
elected him. This is a novel defense, and
one which does not in the least relieve the
administration of its disabilities before the
public. But as it is the best the case admits
of, we may set it down for what it is worth,
which is so near to nothing that it seems a
waste of time to record it,
1t is because his friends reason in this
way, and because outsiders of an active turn
of mind have insisted on something like
! initiative in some direction and have made
General Grant believe that tOrpidity of mind
though it may be the normal condition of
individuals employed to ornament Cabinet
stations, is not the normal condition of a
successful administration, and that if the
President expects a denomination and re-
election, he must at least simulate something
like administrative activityi it is, we say,
for these reasons that the administration has

SENATOR SCHURz'S PARTY STANDING
From the ~ Y. World.

From the ~ Y. World.
1t would be a mistake to consider Mr..
Schurz's recent speech as of the slightest
L69tSLatt0e importance. In its main substance
it was not prospective but retrospective !;
looking, not to the success of any pending
measure, but to the vindication of Mr..
Schurz's personal action in the late election
in Missouri. His amnesty resolution was
a mere peg to hang his speech on. We do
not know whether it quite became him to
make so elaborate protest against his
ostracism from the Republican party. He
was the leader of a victorious movement,
and perhOps did not need to stand on the
defensive. The completeness of his success
is acknowledged by his Senatorial colleague,
who is glad to resign his seat; although more
than two years of his term remain, and ac-
eept judgeship in the Court of Claims.
This is confession by Mr.. Drake of the per-
manent downfall of the party or faction in
Missouri with which he has been connected.
1t is an act of despair; for if he had any
chance of reelection at the expiration of his
term, lie would not throw up has seat and ac-
cept judgeship. When a solid and durable
triumph is thus conceded to Mr.. Schurz by
his retreating adversary, there was no great
necessity for elaborate self defense. Having
convinced the people of bis own State, he
could safely have stood upon their indorse-
ment.
1t is not possible for Mr.. Schurz to rein
state himself in the Republican party. It's
leaders will never forgive him. That General

15TH AMENDMENT ROw-Y esterday
morning man and brother named
Henry Cons, one of the Major Ander-
sons men, was arrested and taken be
fore his Honor the Mayor, charged
with having deliberately, wilfully and
with malice aforethought, informed an
other fifteenth amendment, who is but
sweet sixteen, named Charles Morris
that he intended to cut his wien, and
with having armed himself with a razor
for the purpose Of cutting out said Nor
ris wien. We have seen a darkie
with his eve out seen EN- with part Of
their scalps gone; seen EN- in various
stages of mutilation, but we never vet
saw one with his wien cut. We are
thus in donbt as to how a Niger would
look with his wien cut and we are
sorry Officer Junkins arrested the big
moke, because we might otherwise have
had our laudable curiosity gratitied in
gazing upon darkie with cut wien.
The Mayor fined Cons s. and costs, but
whether for threatening to cut the
wien or for failing to do ii, Cons was
not well satisfied.

For THE LAST FEW YEARS the proprle-
tors of the celebrated PLANTATION BIT
TIERS have been experimenting in the
growing of Calisaya Bark on the Island
of Jamaica, and have found, from
actual tests, and by no means mean
experience, that this valuable bark can
be grown with marked success only upon
the mountains from 1900 to 1000 feet
high. There the forests are often be,
dewed with the early mist, and this tree
arrives at its full perfection. Owing to
the largely increasing demand for the
bark required for the manufacture OF
auinine, and also for the use in the pre-
paration of PLANTATION BTTTERS, the
procuring of it has been a source OF
great anxiety to the proprietors, and
seeing, as they did, that the South
American supply would soon give ont,
took the above early precaution to fully
supply the demand, and, assisted and
encouraged as they are by the English
government, at Jamaica, we have have
not the least doubt but they will sue,
