TurREIoy or LITTLE xEN.

The New York Sun deyotes q long edi-
torial TO the ascendancy Of little men in
politics. pointing out how their narrow
views. petty meannesses and selfish aims
tend TO corrupt and dwarf whole people.
Il draws the contrast between New York,
under the rule Of the great men Of a past
era, and under the rule Of tho little men
who succeeded them. aud says:
The tide Of ycnality and corruption
flowed into the Legislature close upon the
heels Of the small men and as the men be-
came smaller the tide swclled higher. Pro.
found thinkers predicted this consequence.
Little men. suddenly advanced 70 large
places, easily convince themselves that they
ought not to WELD great powers or bcstow
great benefits upon others without receive
ing extraordinary compensation. Walpole
acted npcn this idea BY always giving his
bribcs TO the most inconsiderable Commo-
ncrs. The startling corruption Of the car
pet-bag governments is q striking illustra-
tion Of the same principle. Measured BY
the magnitude Of his Office. Grant i one of
