tent Of country. and has . peculiar

sheep, and often. when pressed by

This IL precisely analogous to
Grants system of taking houses, hor-

REFOR M.


From Moore's Rural New-T Yorker.
First-The pecuniary interests and
general welfare of the great CONNER
cial, producing, and industrial class
es Of the country undoubtedly de-
mand decided reform-an honest
administration Of our national, State,
municipal, county, and even town
ship affairs. This will be conceded
by avery intelligent reader who does
not hold sinecuro position. That
many Of our Office holders have be-
come corrupt and venal is patent to
all who read the journals Of the day.
As to the thcfts of Tammany and U.
s. Government officials, we have al
ready expressed strong views, yet
much more might be said on this
prolific subject, had We space for its
discussion.
Second-That reform is necessary
to preserve republic which has not
yet existed one hundred years, we
verify believe and We furthermore
believe that the people must come to
the front, and put down political
schemers and demagogues. But
whether it is exredient to unite the
honest and Independent members of
the two dominant political parties is
an open question. We think it
ought to be done, and that the inn
pending cri SIS renders it expedient.
The intelligent and straightforward
part Of the community who pay the
expenses Of govcrnm ent, are disgust
ed with the mismanagement, corrup.
tios ard vsnality Of political leaders
an d Office holders; and if there ever
was time when a change which
would be an impro voment should be
made, it is now. The people are
aroused, as witness their recent
triumph over the Tammany corrup-
tionists in New York city. This
triumph was accomplished by the
apnion Of Republicans and Democrats,
and the nomination and election, on
one ticket, of both parties. And in
6uential journals Of both parties ap.

preparing for a great political up.
