SENATOR MORTON speaks to the
point every time. Ga Tuesday of
last week. the subject Of reform be-
ing under consideration, Mr. Nor
ton thus hit the nail On the head:
He said that he was awar, that the
late Secretary of the Interior had ac-
quired considerable reputation in this
matter of civil service reform, and re
ferred to the article in the, North
american Ie0ieto sustaining his
assertion that the gentleman had set
up for himself a superior morality on
tits point He had claimed to inau
gurate o reform in which he was en-
countered, as he said in his letter Of
resignation, by politicians, and the
inference was that during his official
tenure he had acted upon his convic
tions, and did not allow Congressman
10 dictate any appointments. Now
the fsct, as shown upon the records,
we're that On that gentleman assump
zion of his Office there were $50 clerks
in the interior department, and when
lie left it there were 6S0, one man
perhaps having died Therefore, ac
cording to Mr.. Trumhull there were
twice as many clerks there as were
needed, and but one less than the
number when the Secretary lef it.
Unlike Mr.. Cox, Secretary Boutwell,,
without any special pretensions to
civil service reform, had reduced the
force under him some four or five
hundred.

MIR. MOtley's Recall,

Having carefully read and consid
cred Mr.. Motley's long letter to Gov.
Fish, invelghing against the matter
and manner of his recall. and the
Secretary's shorter but able and CO
gent response thereto, we shall not
conceal our regret that the latter was
ever rendered necessary by the form
er. We think few will doubt that the
advantage in this polished but pung-
ent controversy is decidedly with
Gov Fish, who evinces therein, along
with that suavity which no one ever
questioned, a forensic ability and
aptness which he was not generally
known to possess. His advantage
in temper is very marked; and the
felicity wherewith he seizes the
strong points of his case, and makes
them attest the groundlessness of
Mr. Motley's assumptions, renders
his No 54'' one of the cleverest pa
pers ofits class which ever challeng-
ell public attention critioism-N J

MOtley'S Recall.

The daily papels of Tuesday OF
last week contains a very lengthy
correspondence between Mr.. Motley
ex-Minister to England, and Mr..
Fish, Secretary of State.
The C7euelana Herald thus COM
ments upon said correspondence aud
Mr.. Motley:
The letters show that Mr.. Motley
was not the proper man for so i'm,
portant position as Minister to Great
Britain in this juncture. He makes
very much such representative as
his eminent friend, Mr. Sumner,
would make,-represetilg himself
rather than his constituency. Mr..
Motley vas too much given to pre-
sentation of his own individual views,
rather than the views of his govern
meat. And despite his great intel
'ectual ability, he showed very remark
able lack of appreciation of the grave
responsibilities of ais position. And
he was so oblivious to hints as even
not to p3recia e them when given
by the English Lord or the American
Secretary One must SUPPOSE that
Mr.. Motley's self-confidence blinded
him, else his course can be attribut-
ed to naught but downright willful-
ness. As diplomatist he, evidently,
was failure. As a Ministerhe utterly
disregarded the instructions Of his
and - if his word is to
be taken for it. die not know he
was disobeying orders. The reading
of the correspondence will convince
every one. that Mr. Motley was not
day too early, and in
stead of wondering that he was only
allowed to remain at his post fifteen
his wonder should be that
ne was allowed to remain there a
part of that tune. Mr.. Mot
ey is much better in history than in

Republican press of Ohio are bring

as candidates for next Governor.
Among the names mentioned, and
most conspicuous too. we notice that
of the gentleman who heads this ar
ticie; and we take this occasion to
announce, that. while we will most
heartily support the nominee of the
Republican State Convention, our
first choice is Hon. III 4RTIN WELkER
We are intimately acquainted with
him and know him to be gentleman
of such scholarly attainments, spot
less integrity and thorough expert
ence in governmental affairs. that his
nomination would be tower of
strength to the Republican party in
the contest next fall, and would lead
it to positive victory. He is now
serving his third term in Congress,
position ofhonor, which he has filed
to the entire satisfaction of his con-
stitaency and the Republican party
generally. We earnestly hope that
he may be nominated. because he is
eminently worthy, in every way quail
ified and his election would be an
honor to our State.

The San Domingo resolutions as
unnecessarily amended in the House
having been unanimously concurred
in by the Senate, the President then
appointed the following gentlemen
to constitute the commits sion:
Hon. B F. Wade, of Ohio. DR..
Howe, of Boston. Massachusetts,, and
Hon Andrew D. With, OF New

commission. The selection thus
made by the President cannot fail to
meet with general approval. A
Washington dispatch to the Cincin-
natl Gazette, of last Monday says
Hon Andrew D. White, member
of the San Domingo Commission,
arrived to day, and had a pleasant
interview with the President. He
said to Mr.. White that he was earn

HENRY WARD BE HER in an art

HENRY WARD B. L HER in an arti
Gle in the Christian Union, on the
Grant-Sumner matter, says:
Regarding a speech like this, simp-
ly as an ungrounded attack on faith
ful public servant, it can hardly be
too earnestly deprecated. 1t is the
curse of our politics that no degree
of purity of character exempts pub
lie man from all manner of base i'm
putations. 1t is too much to hope to
be soon delivered from this style of
warfare on the part of mere political
hacks and partisan journals.
':But when a man esteemed among
the foremost in the Senate, honored
for personal integrity, accustomed
to lead at home and TO be heard with
respect, abroad, when such a man
launches against an honest President
violent accusation of offensive and
dangerous crimes, what security is
left for honor and dignity in the
personal relations of politics? ? But
this is by no means the whole OF the
mischief in che present case: The
direct tendency of Mr. Sumner
speech was to create bitter feui
among the Republicans in Congress.
and to commit some Of them to lie
clared and permane ut hostity against
the administration. Such a wrangie
involves a diversion of time and
strength from.-the public service to
party broils, which is in itself a G.
riOus impet iment to good legislation.
But such fued would. have still
worse results. The evils of a chron-
ic discordauce between the legisla-
tive and executive powers-the fric-
ton, the incapacity, the deadlock
upon all great measures-are bnt too
well known to us. To invoke such
a conflict, with absolutly no rational
ground for it. seems the part of utter
folly Bnt on the mere ground of
party eXpediency, what worse could
be wished to the Republican party
lhan that they should throw away the
friedship of President who is with
them at heart, and break up their
own forces by attacks on a chief
strong 10 the confluence of the coun
try p
Mr.. Beecher believes, however,
that there is little or no responce to
the temper of Mr.. Summers speech,
and that there is no prospect what
ever of breach between the Presi-
dent and the great body. OF the Re
publican Congressman; ''but that it
is only because Mr.. Sumner has
failed to sniua te others with his own
spirit"

The meeting in New York last
week to express sympathy with Uni
ted Italy, was one which did honor
to this great nation. II is as natural
for true American to rejoice over
United Italy and the overthrow
of Priestly temporal power as it
is for him to breathe. We wish that
every town and village throughout
this Republic, would have a meeting
to express its unbounded Joy over
this remarkable and glorious event.

The Pr esident's Platform.

What wiser, better platform can be
devised for the present time than this
terse, compact, irrefutable one en-
bodied in the conclusion of Presi-
dent Grants message?
|. Thorough enforcement of every
law.
Q. Faithful collection OF every tar.
3. Economy in disbursements a
4. Prompt payment of every deb
of the nation.
5. Reduction Of the taxes as rapidly
as the requirements of the country
will admit.
6. Reduction of taxation and tariff,
to be SO arranged as to afford the
great relief to the greatest number
7. Honest and fair dealing with all
other people, that war, with all its
blighting consequences may be avoid
ed; but without surrendering any
right or obligation due to us.
s. Reform in the treatment of Indi-
ans, and in the whole civil service OF
the country.
8. Securing pure uutrammcled
ballot, where every man entitled to
cast vote may do so just once at
each election, without fear or moles-
tation or prescription on account of
political faith, nativity or color.
Is it not q striking fact that, out Of
all our forty millions Of people, no
critic has been found, of any party,
who has attempted to antagonize a
single one of there nine points en-
bodied in the Presidents platform !?
