Nothing on earth can smile but human
beings. Gems may fash reflected light,
but what is diamond flash to a mirth
fash? A face that cannot smile is like a
bud that cannot blossom. and dies upon
the stalk. Laughter is day. and sobriety
is night; and a smile is the twilight that
hovers gently between both, and more be-
witching than either.

The Radicals appear determined to re-
construct the Supreme Court of the United
States, and if certain Judges will not die,
they have determined to get rid of them
in a sort of decent way. Fhere is a bill
now pending in the Senate to provide for
the retirement of Judges of the Supreme
Court, who from age or other cause become
incapacitated for the performance of the
laborious duties of their office-their sala-
ries to continue as if they remained upon
the bench. There appears to be little doubt
that the bill will become law during the
present session, and good deal of specula-
ton is being INDUCED as to who will be
retired and who appointed. The Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Tribune thinks Chief Justice Chase and
Justice Nelson viii be retired. As to who

GRANrsFRIENDs IN THE SOUTH

GRANTS FRIENDS IN THE SOUTH.
A contemporary calls attention to the fact
that the Radicals, have honeycombed the
whole South with "Rings" of plunderers,
who have robbed, and are robbing, the peo-
pie in the most remorseless manner. a
notable instance, in which single "Ring"
has stripped two States ofS12 900, 00O, has just
come to light. The story runs ack as far
as 1868, in which year one Swetson joined
with Gov. Bullock in projecting railroad
In North Carolina, for whose construction
the Legislature, under pressure gby Holden,
authorized the issue of $7,O00,0OO in bonds.
Swetson carried the bonds North; raised
$5,0O0,0O0 on them; let the railroad go, and
himself ran of with plumber to Florida.
There, in attempting to capture another
railroad, he fell into the hands Of men
sharper than himself, and was stripped of
his plumber. Hence another scheme
with another carpet-bag Governor, Harrison
Read, through whose influence the Florida
Legislature authorized the issue of $780,
600 for a new railroad. These bonds went
the way of the others, the State receiving
no railroad in exchange further than what
the expenditure of $3.50 could construct.
The men constituting these "Rings7 are
the friends Of Gen. Grant in the South, and
he depends upon them for denomination.
Blodgett and Robb are two Of his delegates
from Georgia, and they are fair specimens
of the Grant party in the South.

sCHENCK,s YANKEE TRICK,

Gen. Schenck's mode of retiring from
the directory of the Emma Silver Mining
Company is, if possible, more disgraceful
than any other phase of his connection with
that corporation. Not content with lending
his influence, as one of the most prominent
representatives Of the United States abroad
to float the venture in the British market,
he still further compromises the dignity of
his official position by advertising the COM
psny in retiring from the Board of Direc-
tors. In his resignation he declares his con-
idence in the enterprise, and is careful to
inform the public that be still holds all the
shares he owned as a director. The Lon
don Telegraph has the following mild COM
ment on the shameful transaction: ..--
sit must be remembered, however, that
although the American Minister did, on the
9th of December, resign all connection
with the undertaking as Director, the mis-
chief or benefit-whichever it was-had
been by that time accomplished. Whether
his Excellency meant it or not, the use
made of his name was to tempt English in
vestors into a speculation which otherwise
they might have avoided; and, as a matter
Of fact, they were tempted and did pay
their money. Hence, the resignation of the
General, announced more that five weeks
after his colleagues had it in their posses
sion, is not so much an atonement for the
past as warning for the future. The
Minister who lends his name for a strictly
Stock Exchange purpose, giving quasi
official sanction to a private speculation of
specially hazardous kind, has, Willingly or
unwittingly placed himself in an entirely
false position. 1t is not only that his name
is accepted as giving a distinct authority to
statements that cannot be more than mere
guesses; but it is assumed that his official
influence is thencefOrth retained on the
side Of his co-proprietors. These ideas in
volve all sorts of awkward consequences,
and lead to most Objectionable surmises."
This statement places the matter in a
worse light than it was at first seen in this
country. Schenck could Lave been influ-
enced by but one motive in keeping his
resignation a secret for five weeks. That
motive was to give the mining company all
the benefit which his official endorsement
of it was calculated to effect. Whether he
was actually in the pay Of the company to
give them such support, or was merely in
terested in it to the extent of the shares he
holds, is a matter of very slight Importance
in this connection. Whether acting as
agent or partner, the humiliating fact re-
mains that our Minister to England has
prostituted his high Office to impart facti-
tious value to a comparatively worthless
enterprise

THE character of the men who drift into
Congress from newly made States, is aptly
illustrated in the case of one Tom Fitch,
who figures largely Of late in the telegraphic
dispatches from Salt Lake. This man
Fitch was once citizen of Milwaukee.
Leaving there he next turned up in Nevada,
and after that territory bad been made a
State for no other discoverable reason than
to give Jim Nye seat in the United States
Senate, Fitch was thought just big enough
to represent sUcha constituency in the other
House of Congress. He served there for
some years; but was defeated in 1870. Then
he emigrated to Salt Lake, and has been
conspicuous for defending the peculiar in
stitution and otherwise seeking the favor of
the Saints. His object is palpably to secure
a return to Congress when Utah is admitted
as State. Fitch is blatant demagogue,
and in'an other respects as well as this, is a
typical Radical.

win be appointed, he correspondent speaks
as follows:
"I'he eyes Of number of Senators and
other public men are fixed upon the prospec-
tive vacancies. In the prevailing greed for
place, it is natural that positions like those
ofthe Federal Judiciary, where the tenure
of Office is for life, should be eagerly sought,
and schemed and worked for long in adj
vance of the actual occurrence Of vacancies
which there is a reasonable prospect VIII
soon occur. Senators Howe, ConkHng, and
Edmunds are reported to be all longing to
put on the Chief Justices gown. There
are plenty Of people uncharitable enough to
say that Senator Howe's remarkable con-
duct in the Customhouse investigation has
been occasioned by his belief that
by acting like the paid attorney
of the suspected officials he eould best
recommend himself to the Presidents notice
and favor, and advance his chances for the
coveted place. The superseryiceable zeal
in the defense of the Administration of Mr..
Conkiing and other Senators during the
present session is also generally attributed
to similar motives and aspirations on their
part. 1t is by no means hopeful sign Of
the times that men who have spent their
lives in partisan politics should aspire with
fair prospects Of success, to the highest ju-
dicial positions In the couRtry-positions to
which none but eminent jurists of large eX-
perience on the bench and unquestiOned
purity of character ought to be appointed.
That this should be the case shows that
there is a necessity that the mueh-talked-of
and little practiced Civil Service Reform
should reach higher up than to department
clerks, postmasters, and revenue officers"

A CONFESSION.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune writes under date of
the 4th inst.
cit would be great mistake to suppose
that the Endorsement which the House gave
to the legality of Mr.. Boutwell's Syndicate
bargain can be taken as an expression of
the views Of the majority on the wisdom or
propriety of the transaction; indeed, it is
beyond question that great number Of Re-
publicans who supported Mr.. Dawes's res
Olution did so from a conviction that its
passage was party necessity, entertaining
at the same time serious doubts about the
strict legality of paying double
interest on portion Of the
public debt for several months. They
would have much preferred that the whole
subject should have been quietly smoth-
cred in the Ways and Meaus Committee.
as might have been the case, had it not been
for the persistency of the Democrats. But
when the resolution was brought before the
House, and made a party question, there
was nothing for them to do, they Thought
but to give the Secretary a vote of conf
dence. If the resolution had been voted
down, they argue, no possible good could
have arisen, and much harm might have
followed. So, to have declared by vote of
the House that the law had been
violated in the sale of the new
bonds would have been to strike a
blow at the national credit bv
casting a doubt upon the validity Of
the bonds thus unlawfuIly disposed Of
while it would have restored to the Trea-
sury not dollar of the SO, 100000 of profit
the Syndicate got for their three months
work. If any one doubts that it was with
this view that many of the members acted
who voted for Mr.. Dawes's resolution, It
would be easy to test the question by get
ting the sense Of the House upon a resoiu-
ton recommending Mr.. Boutwell, to renew
his bargain with the Syndicate and allow
them TO subscribe for another installment
of the new loan upon the same terms they
made for the S135,000, 900; such q resolu-
ton would not get 20 votes"
1t is thus confessed by the correspondent
of leading Republican journal that the
public interests and justice are made sub
servient to party necessity by the majority
in Congress. A Presidential canvass is
soon to open, and this majority vote to sus-
tain the Secretary of the Treasury in a pal
pable violation of the law, because it was
feared the opposite course would injure
Grants prospects. This confession of the
Triblne'S correspondent is timely, as it will
enable the people of the country to rightly
estimate the Grant administration and its
supporters in Congress.
