CRAMPS SECRETARY OF NAVY.

There is a wonderful mixture of kindness
AID condemnation in the judgment which
the New York Tribune pronounces on the
Widow Aulicks rosy secretary:
We have looked with a kindly eye on
Secretary Robson, for he is a downright
coed fellow and met his accusers like a man.
Yet we can find no legal warrant for his
payment Of 500, 600 extra allowance to the
Securs from fund plainly appropriated TO
other uses. Was it necessary to drag eX-
Secretary Welles from his retirement to
make this plain? And we do not think the
secretary's neighbor, Markly, would have
earned $4,000 so easily as he says he did,
by speaking about guns to Mr.. Robson, if
the business of the Navy Department had
been managed as strictly as it should have
been.
BY the way there are illusions, numerous
and mysterious, to ga lady who got New
Years present by re-opening closed naval
claims" The Utica Observer, however, is
not all mysterious when it says:
at is a delicate question to allude to, but
the Secretary himself saw fit to bring it
forward. If we may credit the Washing
ton rep rts, the Secor claimants secured the
services Of Mrs. Aulick to aid them in
pressing the payment Of their fraudulent
claims. A handsome retainer in the shape
Cf q Christmas present was given to this
fascinating widow, and just enc week later
the Sg3,0UO was turned over 10 Sac0r. In
asnuch as the then Mrs. Aulick is low Mrs.
Eo5eson, it is TO be presumed that her
irEasnce in the Navy Department last
Christmas was worth all that it cost"

FoRNEY ANo HIS COURSE.

The course Of Col. Forney, of the Phila-
delphia Press, is something Of puzzle. 1t
is rather difncult to locate him, although he
appears to be working for Grant. He is
just now laundering against the Grant
nominee for Governor of Pennsylvania, but
that is explained by some Republicans on
the ground that Hartranft is a Cameron
man and was nominated in the interest OF
that Senator as much as of that of Grant.
That nomination was made a couple Of
weeks ago, and the Press still shows its
dissatisfaction by insisting that it was ga
nomination not fit to be made" The
Washington correspondent of the Boston
Globe (Republican) furnishes this explana,
ton of Col. Forney's course:
pennsylvania politics are in the queerest
Of muddles. A keen-witted politician, who
! leans to the administration side, has just
! given me some Of the why's and where
! fOres, Of Col. Forney's more recent dis.
! satisfaction. Il is a regular clan and fac
! ton tight-Came"on leading one and For
uey the other, while the latter awaits the
! arrival of Gov. Curtin to take the baton OF
! popular command. When the editor, in
! fuenCed by his warm personal regard for
! HT. Sumner, showed a desire to make the
| Press dependent-publishing his famous
! ''IIalt" article, ne was placated, as the story
goes, with the Philadelphia Custom House,
In that place, however, the Colonel en-
! phatically declined to care for merely civic
! politics and managers. He had higher
| game than that, and reused Cameron's hos
| tility by the evident determination to sue
| ceed that astute manager. The result OF
| the pulling and hauling was Forney's resig-
nation Of the customs relationship. OF
| course that created alarm and excitement
/ here. The President was induced to visit
| the editor, aud otherwise mako it evident
| that his adhesion was regarded as impor-
/ tant. The Grsy-McClure struggle began,
/ and the Press was at Stneutral, not to say
/ opposed to the regular nomination. The
| result has since been seen in the unseating
Of Gray and the placing Mcclure in the
! State Senate, where to-day he holds the
! balance.
"Ny informant declares that Forney got
! beyond reasonable control, when it was
! seen at what value apparently his services
! were regarded. He not only desires to sue
| coed Cameron, but to be placed at the head
Of both the Philadelphia delegation aud the
| Republican electoral tickets. OF course the
| Senator did not propose TO remain quieS-
| cent. A marshalling Of the clan followed,
and the Harrisburg nominations are the
result Col. FOrney IS left out in the cold en-
tirely,and the Press for two days past shows
how keenly the defeat is felt. Whether
this modification is to 90 so far as to carry
the editor over to the Liberal ranks, is an
unanswered question. But the general
feeling is that it viii not, so far as Foruey
himself IS concerned, but that it may de-
feat his party by causing division, is now
quite probable"
Let us hope that good may come out OF
what Forney is now doing, in giving Penn
sylvania TO the Democrats.

CHANTS MISTAKES.

Decidedly the strongest arraignment Of
Grant that we have met with lately, has
been the work Of men who belong to his
own party and who assisted to elect him in
1865. The following, from the Chicago
Tribune, the leading Republican journal in
the Northwest, is a specimen:
l. Had the Cabinet been strong one,
and had he followed its c0unsels, general
amnesty would have been accomplished and
the harmony Of the Southern people with
the nation restored; no San Domingo Job or
sale OF arms to France would have been
heard Of A General who had never held a
civil Office made a profound mistake when
be rejected all statesmen from his Cabinet.
2. The San Domingo blunder was chiefly
important for the lack Of craftsmanship
which inspired the President to regard every
one who opposed it as his personal enemy,
and Furnishing him as such. No President
who had had experience in civil life would
have committed his Elunjer-that Of an
obstinate sol iar, not rfa statesman.
3. About ..} Oal OF the $1,000 appoint
mants mad by President Grant aud his
Subordinates were given to family friends
and relatives. 1t was ont Of taste, and, in
connection with other things, showed that
the President looked upon the Presidency
as a parqUisite rather than a trust.
/. The creation Of a Military Ring, or
Kitchen Cabinet, under the caves of the
White House, with branch in the New
York Custom House, managed by Murphy,
and afiording sustenauce to LeeS and Stock
ing, as Presidential pets, with ingalls, al
ways little way in the distance, is not so
harmless 4 fact.
8. The use Of the appointing and remov-
ing power to cOercG Congress and the peO-
pie, is the most unwise OF the Presidents
mistakes. Motley, brilliant historian and
accomplished diplomat, removed to punish
Sumner; Grinnell, a reputable and able
Collector Of Customs, removed to punish
Greeley: a score Of officers in Missouri re-
moved to punish Gail Schurz; and the
whole batch Of Southern appointments held
IN terr0rea to cOerce the carpet-bag Sena-
tors TO depose Sumner, show wherein the
spirit Of despotism is fatal to true states
manship. No Government could remain
free whose legislators did not resent and
punish such dictati0n.
6. When our President had made up a
| Cabinet solely out Of the circle of his draw
lily IboH lIltlluS, aHu VIII lCiCACiiCO W OAA
ioyment rather than statesmanship,it seems
suparfuous to run a "wheel within this
wheel, j." whose spolles should be Morton,
Cameron, Potter and Murphy.
:. Forth from this Kitchen Cabinet have
gone those humiliatiGg efforts to control
State politics in various States, especially in
New York, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, and
Missouri, and, finallyin Illinois, which have
done 10 good and much harm.

The St. Louis ReptSblican says Of the
Cincinnati Republican Convention:
In some of the States, as in Missouri,
there are special delegates officially ap-
pointed by a State convention; in others,
like New York, Illinois and Ohio, the delega
tons win be composed ofthose Republicans
who have signed written and formal respon-
ses to the Missouri call; in otheys, as in Mich
ig:in, they have been constituted at called
conferences Of leading Republicans, and in
some others, they are composed of individ-
ual Republicans, who have voluntarily sig
niied their purpose to attend, without any
special certificate of appointment from
State convention or conference. All these
delegations are authorized, under the terms
OF the Missouri call, and all will be adj
mitted to seats in the convention, though
those who have been formally constituted,
and are, therefore, more strictly representa-
tive in their character, viii perhaps carry a
greater weight of authority than those
composed of individuals. The following is
list Of the States that win be Represented
in one of the forms mentioned:
Missouri, New York, Tennessee, Nebras-
ka, Kentucky, Minnesota, Louisiana, In
diana, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Texas,
Ohio, Kansas, Iowa, Arkansas, New Jersey,
Michigan, Massachusetts, California, Mary
land, South Carolina, Illinois.
Here are twenty-five States already known
to be represented by delegates who have
been officially chosen, or who have signified
their intention to be present. In some of
the remaining fifteen States = Oregon,
Georgia, Alabama aud Virginia, for ex-
ample-the subject is being discussed, and
it is altogether probable that ten of them,
including the five remaining New England
States, will also be represented.

ORR MOTTO.

Eternal vigilance is the price Of liberty"
Such WAS the oft-repeated truism of Jefer-
sag, in the earlier, purer days of the repub-
lie. How much more forcible is its truth
il this corrupt age. Those who tell the
people to cOnfine themselves tomaterial in
tercsts and let politics slide, are insidious
CaunsellOrs. Such has been the study of
despots in all ages, TO divert The att ntion Of
ment. Such a policy Is the more suicidal
in a country like ours, where al. govern
ment is based on the popular voice. Let
our people, therefore, beware Of such as de-
cry political organization and conventions.
SelcgOvernment is priceless heirloom, to
which duties are attached as well as bene-
fits. The people must at times leave the
plough share standing in the furrow, like
Putnam, if they would save their country
from the vandals Of politics. After years
Of Radical oppression, Tennesseeans are
fortunately in possession Of their own
State Government once more. With con-
tiuued Democratic organization, the preser-
walton of our local liberties is a moral GER
tainty, while we can cast our full strength
TO the best advantage in the coming FEEDER
al contest. The Democracy is but the ser
want and organ of the people. Let us,
therefore. have a full representation R-om
all parts of the State in the coming State
Convention of May 8. Let the county and
local committees, where they have not al
ready acted, bestir themselves at once; and
let the seal of peoples reprobalion be
stamped on the schemes of the disorgani
zers. It was never more true than now
that External vigilance is the price of lib
erty."

is heavily laden with editorials which speak

THE Illinois journals Of both parties
claim that their Constitution in its wise re-
form in the matter Of equal representation
has resulted in a striking improvement in
the moral character Of the Legislature
elected, as well as in the benefoence of the
laws enacted under it. Its feature of
minority representation brings into action
"equal rights for alp instead of "all rights
for half" and thus achieves an advance
step in the science of representative gov
ernment that bids fair to realize the aspira-
tons Of those who seek to reform public
abuses in the interest of all, rather than
TO WELD the power of the State in The in

THERE is a question of veracity between
Garfield and Butler. They both assert
thatthey have had "big TALK with Ulysses
on The subject of Civil Service Reform, in
which he gave his private views upon the
SUI ject. Butler says that pTicdtely Grant is
opposed to the reform, while Garfield de-
clares that Grant is priUately in favor Of it.

has been playing the hypOcIite in regard to
