Political Corruption.

The Christian Union, edited by the Rev.
Henry Ward Beccher, has the following tell.
ing article upon the corruption and profigacy
OF our politics and government. Mr.. Bcccher
speaks with great force, and portrnys with re.
markable fidelity and truth the terrible effects
that result from the present system Of politi-
cal manipulation. The mystery is how this
reverend gentleman knows so we'll the inns
and outs OF the wire pulcrs lie speaks, as
1t were, by tho card, and we commend his re.
marks to all who think seriously Of the point
toward which we seem to be drifting
"Our nation is suffering from a growing
evil, whose nature Christian men ought to
understand, and which they ought to oppose
under as strong sense of religious duty as
influences any act Of their lives That dan.
ger is tho corruption of our politics and our
government by the direct use of moncy.-
There has grown up Of late years GLASS of
men who make politics their business for the
simple purpose Of making money out of it
They gain control of party ME- hncry by dcx-
terty, and then sell the honors and adyan-
tascs which they control. Men of political
ambition recognize their power aud seek their
support. The men elected to office through
their influence must submit in their official
acts to the dictation Of the power tha t ,uade
and can unmake them. Those who, in this
way, own legislators aud governors, sell their
wares to whoever will buy The buyers
form another GLASS. The course Of things in
business, especially the business Of transpor.
tation, has been to accumulate immense
wealth in the hands of few financicrs.
Their schemes are frequently in need of help
from governmental authority. There is a
short and easy way to obtain this, under such
state of things as VIC have described. 1t is
not necessary to buy up q Legislature man by
man. An easier bargain can be made with
the small clique in the background, who
largely control the legislature. They stand
ready to sell the votes of their puppets by
Wholesale. There is nothing suppositious
about tho general evil already existing 1t
curses our city and our State. And it is by
no means confined here. II is the most mis-.
chcyous aud dangerous clcmcut in our whole
political system. Special questions Of policy,
SURE tt6 be SET .;n4 Troublesome. arc pr4lly
working thought or an honest people, and tho
helping influence Of time, will heal many
wound that now looks raw ard threatening.
But moral corruption is disease that will
strike deeper aud deeper, unless it is met in
time, and by resolutc fighting expelled.
There is one thing in this country that is
stronger even than money, and that i, con-
science. If the Christianizcd conscience Of
our.pcople can be fairly brought to bear on
this evil spirit Of political corruption, it will
drive it out. But this cannot DO done until
their leaders rouse the people, ana the people
rouse themselves, to see what the danger is. .
