Severe but Just.

The Radical majority in the
House of Representatives is receiv-
ing some very severe but just
blows from its own party for its
course in the Butler cadet affair.
The Cincinnati Gazette takes its
political friends to task in the fol-
lowing appropriate style:
The House, finding that too
many of its members have sold
cadet appointments to be discip-
lined, is now directing its virtu-
Gus judgments to those outside
persons who tempted the men,
bers. Let the members get them
to d nuEnery where no one can
approach them, and where an iron
grating will prevent the passing
of considerations. And while it
accepts as a fit colleague r. r.
Butler, who sold a cadetship for a
bride, it turns its ayenging virtue
on Gen. Schoepf, an examiner in
the Patent Office, and demands
his expulsion because he innocent
| ly transferred the money. Is it
possible that the House is uncon-
scious that it Is making itself the
laughing stock Of the whole coun-
try?"

VACANCIES in Congress.

The resignation of John I.
Deweese, of Indiana, represent
ing North Carolina in the House,
and Jacob S. Goliday of Kentucky,
surprised no one particularly.-
Both of these members had been
charged with being influenced by
improper motives-s. G. money
in the appointment Of cadets to
West Point and Annapolis, and the
guilt of the former Vas conclusive.
In order to avoid expulsion the
accused resolved to resign, thus
confessing judgment to the accusa-
ton before the public.
1t is lamentable that those who
have been elected by the people as
the best men fitted to care for
their interests should prove so
false to the strust committed to
them. No censure is too severe
for such conduct, for not only, dc
the members disgrace themselves
but they cast reproach upon the
whole nation by making an ar
ticle of merchandise of a p.ivil.
eye that was intended as a reward
of merit TO be conferred upon those
young men who had proved them
selves worthy Of confidence and
trust. Ard the investigation
might with advantage, as hereto
fore suggested. be carried into the
White House, where it is common
ly reported the most important
Offices have been disposed of for 8
consideration. The whole cGr.
rupt system should be eradicated

Senator Ames.
[From the PhiIadelphia age. ]

pleasure of reading in the Con
gressional Globe, the full speech
of Senator Conkling, Of New York,
upon the pretentions of General
Adelbert Ames, Of Maine, to take
a seat in the Senate of the United
States as a Senator from Mississir-
pi. The argument of Mr.. Conk-
ling strips the spurious Senator
of every shadow of claim to take
advantage of his own fraudulent
election of himself. His cseden-
tials, indeed, are SO rich curiosi-

al conceptions, at least, Of public
integrity.
Washington naturally arrests
the general attention. There we
behold the White House occupied
for once by a chief magistrate
whose inexperience in statesman
ship is sadly paralleled by his in
capacity. We behold a President
whose presumed propriety of pur-
pose is certainly rendered suspi-
cious by many of his appointments
to public Office. Nepotism is al
ways deplorable; but when per-
sonal friends and actual relatives
are selected for official station who
are constitutionally ineligible or
marvellouSly incompetent, their
appointment is even politically
inexcusable. Still more reprehen-
sible is the appointment ct men
who may be said to have literally
purchased the executive favor by
means of expensive donations

plate, among some worthy men, a
body of piebald Legislators, who
are nothing but greedy specula-
tors, and whoaoften lose sight en-.
tirely of their duty as representa-.
tives in their anxiety as impecu,

ed their substance in securing an
election, their primary object is
reimbursement. Hence they see
no dishonor in accepting brides tc
procure cadetships, and in other
wise making their official influence
subservient to their fiscal interests
