PRECEPT AND PRACTICE.

There is wide difference between pre-
cept and practice in the Grant admiuistra-
ton, and every few days something turns up
TO illustrate the fact. The New York Sun
calls attention to case in point, as follows:
''On the LIST of October Secretary Robson
ordered that after that date no officer on the
retired list of the navy should be employed
on active duty. This order relieved many
who were really deserving of consideration
because of long and distinguished services,
yet it was hailed by the people as a step to-
ward carrying out the spirit of the law by
which such officers were retired, and was
therefore universally commended. Now
it turns out that the order was a
sham. Those officers who are not particu-
larly friendly to Admiral Porter and the
Grant Administration were promptly re-
moved with flourish of trImpets. Those
who are were retained in violation of the
order. Of these there are twenty-four, the
principal ones being Rear-Admiral String
ham, Port Admiral of New York "a per-
feet sinecure); Rear-Admiral MelanCtOn
Smith, COmmandant New York Navy
Yard; Rear-Admiral Lardner of the Naval
Asylum, Philadelphia; ard Rear-Admiral
Bailey Of the Lighthouse Board The
cOmmandants of the navy yard can of
purse il q fence the workmen and the Gov
e-nor of the Naval Asylum has four hun
dred benehciaries to whom his word is

ADMINISTRATION FAVORs.

The New York Times is a favored organ
Of The Grant administration. When it was
exposing the frauds and corruption of the
Tammany ring in New York, large force
was detailed from the customhouse to mail
a heavy edition of that paper to parties in
different portions of the country, where it
was hoped its articles would benefit Grant.
1t appears the favor is still kept up, but in
a more marked manner. The New York
Sun Of the 9th inst. says:
complaints are made in several quarters
In regard to the action of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue in using the clerical
force of his bureau to fold and mail under
his frank, as official business, thousands of
copies Of an issue of the New York Times
containing extended articles in defence
of Gen. Grant, among which is one which
attempts to disprove the notorious
fact that he has appointed a horde of his
worthless and incompetent relations TO Off
ces. Perhaps the President may think that
using the time of men employed by the
United States to extend the circulation of
partisan newspaper, free of postage, will be
considered an indication Of zeal for civil
service reform; but the public will hardly
be disposed to view the matter in that
light"
There are other Republican papers, how
ever, that are not treated with this marked
consideration. The Detroit Tribune hay
ing had the temerity to doubt the wisdom
Of re-electing Grant, has had all govern
ment advertising taken away from it, and
all the small machinery of Postoffiees and
the like were called to aid to suppress the
circulation Of the graceless sheet. But I'M
happily the people have not seconded these
noble efforts, and the wretched paper now
boasts larger circulation than the true
blue Irregular" organ in Detroit, and is au-
dacious enough to demand reform through
out the government and the party.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1872-02-09
FEW STRAWS.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch (Radical) ad-
mits that Morton'S adjournment resolution
was intended merely to further the renomi-
nation of Grant.
The New Y ork Commercial Advertiser,
(RadicaD says Grant is undoubtedly the
first choice of the carpet-baggers down
South, but, says that paper, "the great
point is to make him the choice of the
people," All! there's the rub.
The New York EUening Post, Republi-
can organ, says: "The Republican party,
as represented in the United States Senate,
is now weaker in the country than it has
been since 1860. 1t will find that delays
are dangerous, and that what the people
demand are not promises, but actual re-
forms.''
An Illinois lawyer writes to friend in
New Haven that he is one of $4,000 Re-
publicans in that State who are "all re-
solved to forget past differences and unite
upon any good man that will deliver our
country from the hands of the political
cormorants and plunderers that are sucking
its life away"
An enthusiastic champion of renomina-
ton, The NeaO Hagen Journal, is impelled
to warn the friends of Gen. Grant that it is
possible, notwithstanding favoring signs to
the contrary, "to so fritter away his
strength as to render the election difficult
if not doubtful" PrOdigious blunders on
the part of prominent Senators are pointed
out as the bane of Grants popularity: first,
that Of attempting to stife the earnest de-
demand for investigation into existing
abuses, which leads the country to be-
lieve that Gen. Grant feared the result; the
equally inexcusable stupidity of Carpenter,
Conkling & Co., in trying to drive the Re-
form Senators out of the party; last and
most ig-headed of all, the insane attack ON
the Civil Service Reform, which warns the
country that the Presidents cry for Reform !
is simply pretence.

THE Philadelphia Inquirer, (RadicaD
charges roundly that the late election for
Senator in the fourth (Philadelphia) district,
was carried by system Of cheating that
would disgrace the ingenuity of Tammany.
1t says: s"Under the infamous Registry law
this city a fair vote was impossible, and
warning was given days before the election
that the leaders of the rings had met in
one place and another to organize gangs of
FOUNDERS, repeaters, and ballot-box suffers,
to take advantage Of the worst features of
this law. We do not hesitate to declare that
the result was owing solely to the most in
famous Frauds The law under which these
frauds were perpetrated was passed by a
Radical Legislature to enable the Radicals
to carry Philadelphia in a contest with the
Democrats. The invention is plaguing the
inventors.

THE Cincinnati Gazette (Radical) prints
aportion of one days proceedings of the
Congressional Committee now engaged in
the work of investigating in Louisiana, and
says:
"The shameless corruption that is re-
vealed, the abuses of power, the scandalous
manner in which voters have been cheated
Of their rights, are nothing less than afro
cious. No language can be too severe to
be employed in characterizing them. The
condition of affairs that is set forth is even
worse than the Customhouse investigation
is revealing as existing in New York"
The shameless corruption" which the
Gazette SO severely censures, was committed
by Radicals and under Radical rule, and
would have been kept secret to this day
had not the scoundrels quarreled over the
spoils and peached upon each other.
