The poetic principle of retributivc
Justice has been vindicated in Grants
relation to the New York relationship.
G rant was prominent figure in the

Sundry politicians of New York
city wish to get Collector Grinnell out
of his post, and the congressman from
the western part of the state want him
to hold on, as they have friends in vari-
Gus positions under him. Grant is in

nell's removal, but is prevented from
attempting to dismiss him by the civil
tenure act. That would now be in his
way had he acted with any degree of tact
and frmness when the question of its
repeal came up, Immediately after he
was sworn as president.
Although the radicals were over
whelmingly defeated in the state Of
New York the other week they have
secured two judges of court of APP

representation in that tribunal. It is
to be hoped that within a very few
years similar rule will be carried into
the constitutions of all the states, and
made to apply to legislatures municipal
councils, and all other Offices, to which
the principle can be practically extend
ed. 1t is cminently just, and there
should be no hesitation or delay i'll its
adoption.
