long-headedness, that it would be a sin and a
shame to leave Frenohmen any longer to
their own devices, and that they must place
the whole people under their tutelage for
long time, until generation arises which ac-
knowledges that Germans are not barbarians
and the old poison of egotism is expelled
from French veins.
All this seems extravagant enough, but the
thought is there and will tell. To suppose
that Germans will hold French territory in
definitely may seem wild thing but they
are at least not likely to leave until they are
paid their vast indemnity. And ever after
wards at the very least, the German sword
will hang menacingly over the head of France.
But she will have great tcompensations. Freed
from military burdens, she may grow rich
with astounding rapidity. And what bounds
can be set to the intellectual victories which
her brilliant people may achieve when cul-
ture of the German type is universal through
the land? At the bottom of this dreadful
Pandora's box there is hope, bright hope,

POLITICAL BLACK-MAIL.

FTonl the N. Y. Times
Senator Wilson has brought in a bill to
prevent the levying of assessments on Office
holders for political purposes. 1t is credit
able to the Senator's Intentions; but we
ought to call his attention in the strongest
manner to the inexpedency of touching this
abuse at all without going to the root of the
matter. law against assessments, like the
laws against bribery and usury, and many
ether laws which can only be proved to
have been broken by the very persons who
have broken them, must virtually be dead
letter. The person who pays the assess
ment, like the person who takes the bribe,
has, of course, every possible motive not to
reveal the transaction to any one; and yet
without his informing and giving proof of
abe commission of the offense, no eonvic-
ton for it can be obtained. The result
of the passage of Senator Wilson's bill will
therefore be, that while the country will have
received fresh proof of the need of some kind
of civil service reform, the statute-book will
be burdened with one more imperative law;
and the public, or portion of it, WILL per-
haps, be deceived into the belief that some
| thing has been done to remove the evils of
| the present system, when In reality nothing
has been done. This remark applies in an
equal degree to the bill brought in by Sena-
! tor Trumbull last session, making it a mis-
| demeanor for any Senator or Representa-
tive to engage in ofice-seeking at any of
the departments, or recommending candi-
dates for places, unless his opinion was
| asked by the Executive. No such act could
be enforced. Heads of Departments would
not prosecute. They could not afford to
make bitter and determined enemies in Con-
gress; witnesses would not testify, and the
law would remain imperative. Nobody sup
poses, of course, that the two Senators are
not sincere in desiring REFORM and that their
bills are not meant to bring it about; but it
may not be amiss to remind them that the in
PRODUCTION of just such impracticable mea-
sures as theirs is one of the means to which
those who want to defeat a reform most fire.
quently resort. There is no way so effectual
of throwing its friends off their gsard, and
bunting the edge of criticism.
There is one general principle which is ap-
plicable to all abuses, for which individual
legislation is responsible, and it is that in
stead of trying to punish people for doing

THE NEW PARTY.
From the N. Y. sun.

From the N. y Tribune.
Nearly year ago, there was gathering of
revenue reformers" in Washington, culmi-
mating in dinner with fluid notifications,
wherewith certain sympathizing editors and
correspondents rejoicingly refreshed then-
selves. Having safely found their way hence
to their respective lodgings, these enlghten-
ers of the public proceeded to indite letters
to their several journals, revealing so much
as was judged prudent and proper of the
plans of campaign which had been matured
and adopted by their field-marshals The
more conspicuous proteotionists in Congress
were Republicans, of course; and the re-
formers proposed to inaugurate their crusade
sending reformers in their stead-Republi-

bullied into nominating that sort; if not,
