severe, But Just.

When we consider that there Is not
probably man in the United States that
would say he respected Butler. or had the
slightest confidence in him, that his at
tempts at legislation have all displayed
wickedness and folly in about equal pro-
portions, and that he has probably done as
much to debase the tone of public life at
Washington as any ten of the worst men
who have ever made their appearance in
Congress the tender indulgence with which
the press treats him is highly discreditable,
and very lmischievous as well. It is bad
enough, in all conscience, to have such a
man returned by Massachusetts consti-
tuency; but when theleading papers of the
|. party of moral ideas always treat him as
q simple oddity, and his, tricks and dodges
as the playful gambols of q rich and ex-
uberant nature they help to lower the
public standard of statesmanship, and open
political life to charlatans and rogues of ali
degrees. If the respectable Republican
press would give him his due, the task TO
finishing him might apparently be left to
Mr.. Farnsworth, who IS evidently too
much for him, and rejoices in hunting him
with savage JOY. p ~ - a..

law is wanted that will strike home TO the
mark where the Ku-Klux actually exist,

When Republican ventures to suggest
the propriety of administering the Govern
ment upon a Constitutional basis, he Is at
once excommunicated or forced to make
a recantation. It.would seem the Radical
leaders have such horror Of the Constitu-
ton, that for a man to speak in respectful
terms of it, exposes him to unmeasured
vituperation. AS an example we have
only to look at the case of General SHER-
MAN, who, because he spoke IN favor Of q
Constitutional Government was denounced
by nearly every Radical writer and speaker
in the land "a. .-... u
The same fate is being meted out to
Senator ScHuRz. Because he said, 81 con

1t appears that the ofiee-peddling pro-
pensities of the Presidents father are re-
produced In other persons possessing in
Huence with Gen. Grants Administration.
We published the other day the evidence
tn at Gen. Cooper, one of President Grants
Collectors of Internal Revenue IN Tennes-
see has been offering to sell subordinate
places at prices varying from $3.50 to $3.50
each and now we have from Toledo, Ohio,
the proof that three ef the most impor-
tant Offices in that Congressional district
were lately put up for sale at the price of
$4 600 for the three. The testimony to
this effect is complete and CONCLUSIVE. 1t
IS given by Mr. Alexander Reed, recently
Postmaster of Toledo-a gentleman Of
distinguished character and unquestiona-
BILE antecedents-and by Mr.. j. Swigart
and Mr.. George E, Welles,, the Collector
and Assessor of Internal Revenue at To-
ledo. .ssas-.ils sse1g5 Il i. ---..g...s - q
These three gentlemen publish state
ment that in the latter part of February
last one L. NJ. Hunt, friend of the pres
ent Administration in that district, who
is especially influential with DIR. E. D.
Peck, the member of Congress- caused to
be made to them a proposition that if they
would pay him four thousand dollars in
cash they should be kept in Office, and
that otherwise they should be turned out.
This proposition they refused, and they
refused it still more decisiVely at asubse-
quent interview had with Mr. Hunt
ION the 18th of March last Whereupon
President. Grant, on the 18th inst, APP
pointed one E. Y. AlcMaken- to be Post
master in Mr.. Reeds place, and the ap-
pointment was confirmed by the Senate on
| the same day Whether the internal
revenue officers, who also Joined with Mr..
Reed in refusing to pay. for their places,
have yet been turned out or not, we dc
not know, bnt if they are still in office
they will doubtless have to go soon. :
Facts like these show in startling
manner the extent to which the sale o.
Offices is carried on under the example and
influence Of President Grant. In CinCin-
natl his father puts the price of a guager's
appointment at S400; in Tennessee one o.
his Collectors. of Internal Revenue gets
from $3.50 to $3.50 for subordinate places
and in Toledo 81, 900 is asked as the price
of one Postmaster one Assessors anc
one Collectors commission. How many
more instances, of such corruption may
come to the public knowledge it IS impos
sible to say; but these few afford indlca.
tions that the same debasement and de
pravity are likely to exist in every part o.
the country. And why should this mo-

That the Ku-Klux Force bill is uncon-
stitutional may be taken as already
proved. In this respect 1t is as bad as At
could well be made. But there Is anoth-
er point of view in which its nature IS
more odious and more repugnant to all
right feeling. tia
Gen. Grants maxim, "Let US have
peace" met with hearty response rom
the whole country and the people no
doubt imagined that when he became
President he would be governed by the
spirit of that saying. But instead of this,
we see him urging upon his party IN Con-
gress the passage of bill whose only real
purpose is to secure his own denomination
as a candidate for the Presidency, and
whose expected consequence is to promote
hostile feeling, alienation, antagonism, and
conflicts between citizens of the South
and citizens Of the North. Instead OF
aiming at peace, Gen Grant, and the ma
iority who have obeyed his dictates IN
Congress, aim at war. Instead OF endeav-
oring TO produce order, harmony, friendly
and patriotic sentiments between the diff
ferent geographical divisions of the Union
they endeavor 10 fan into FIRE the dying
remains of the old contest. g.zl....
It is impossible to exaggerate the wick.
edness of such conduct What punish
ment could be too great for men who,
merely 10 carry an election, light anew
the frebranas of civil discord, and who
are ready to leopard the peace. the pros
perity, and the happiness Of the country
as means of controlling its voters IN

DeliVer.-OuFIOus Developments.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-Some curious
facts have leaked out about the manner
in which the Washington military ring
squeezes money out of young applicants
for Office. A young West Point officer,
who went through the civil war in the
volunteer service. concluded after being
honorably mustered out of service that he
would like an appointment as Indian
agent. He sought certain military gentle
men at Washington. known to be in au-
| thority and IN the ring, and expressed to
| them his desire. He Was told that such
places were worth money, and that he
must pay 81 600 down if he. wanted the
Office. He declined to pay cent down,
but finally agreed to deposit that sum in
La bank IN Washington, subject to the or
der of one of the parties, upon the ap-
pointment being made known to the ban
ker Some time elapsed, when the appii-
cant for the agency received a letter IN
/ this city requesting permission to, draw
| $3.50 of the amount deposited. He ans
wered that if the commissioner would give
his word that the appointment should be
made that they might draw the $3.50. He
was then telegraphsd that the conTnis-
sioner was IN New York at The Hoffman
House, and was requested to go andlsee
him and show him the whole corresponds
enee The applicant says that he called
upon Commissioner Parker and obeyed
instructions. The commissioner, upon lex-
amining the telegrams, promised that the
appointment should be made. The ap-
phcant withdrew, and telegraphed to the
principal Of the ring at Washington, with
whom he had dealt, authority to draw the
$3.50. The money was promptly drawn,
but the Office was not Forthcoming, and
the applicant has not seen dollar of his
money thus swindled out of him. ~
The affair is ofrecent date. The young
applicant has recently been successful in
business here, and does not desire the In
dian agency now, but he has determined
to begin a suit against the. parties, not on
/ ly to test the virtue of the law in such
cases, but in order that the public may
become better acquainted with the kind OF
people who run the Grant government.
