A NEW "ExCELsIOR. =,

The night had sunk on Chappaqua.
The wind was keen, the air was raw,
As forth the farmer went in peace,
With this device on his valise:
I'm going West r
His pants were short, his boots run down,
His felt hat smashed in at the crown,
And like squeaking cart-wheel rung
The accents of that wel1-knOwn tongue:
I'm going West !"
In White House window. bright and warm,
He dreams he sees Ulysses form.
Then yanks his trousers high and higher,
Rips fercely out. and screams in ire:
I'm going West p
Don't try that dodger' John Cochrane
cried,
"The eree-Trade boys will tan our hide r.
Upon his nose . tear-drop shines,
He wipes it on his sleeve, and whines:
I'm going West p
Beware of those who've read your books.
You'll know them by their vacant looks y
This was . " soreheads" parting cry;
A silvery voice replied - You lie
I'm going West
A sleepy "cop" that morning found
The old man seated on the ground
Still clinging to his carpet-bag.
Which bore this motto on its tag:
I'm going West p
There, meath the Fr1nkln statue, sat
Old Chippaqusck in his white hat.
Like huntsman resting from the hunt.
While from his lips escaped . grunt:

EFFECT OF THE BOSTON FIRE

The Cincinnati Commercial has been
permitted to read Boston letter that gets
SHOWN to hard pan" in respect to the fire
q month since. The writer says:
The Assessors have gone over the books
and find 552 estates destroyed that were
occupied by 99l persons, firms and corpo-
rRtioDs. The last appraised valuation OF
the property burnt was seS enty-fiVe millions
about One-tenth of the assessed valuation
of the city. The salvage, insurance, ETC.,
will be at least thirty millions. The loss OF
insurance stock falls very heavily on old
ladies and professional men,"
In the Merchants Insurance Company
the stock was worth about $f75 per share
In this company Longfellow, the poet,
held 81 shares, and Motley, the historian
y. This was wiped out. There are a
multitude of such cases. The insurance
stock was so good that soms of the banks
held large amounts Of it, and have suffered
accordingly.

THE ALABAMA CONSPIRACY.

There is some sense Of proprieiy left
among Radical editors touching the course
pursued by some of their political brethren
in the South. The Cincinnati Gazette, a
Grant organ, Gays:
ave sincerely hope the United Ststes
Senate will not recognize the election of
Spencer to that body, from the State Of
Alabamba. Spencer would be disgrace to
the body, anyhow fact that is fully IN
derstood at Washington, but aside from
this his claim to an election by the Ala
banda Legislature is ridiculous. Better
the seat should be vacant than have it filed
by Spencer or any other man chosen as he
was"
If the little rebellion that has been gotten
up by the Radical minority of the Alabama
Legislature, had been perpetrated by Demo
Gratis and a newly elected Democratic
Governor had pursued the course towards
them that Gov. Lewis has, is there man 10
all this broad land who doubts what
the Grant administration would have done
in the premises? Is there a man who
doubts that the military would long since
have dispersed these Rebels at the point OF
the bsyonet, and have hustled Gov. Lewis
and his co-conspirstors off to military bas-
tile to be tried for conspiracy and treason?
There cannot be a doubt that this would
have been the course Of the Government if
they had been Democrats. Yet President
Grant calmly sits in the White House and
allows these secessionists and conspjrators,
who constitute minority of the Legisla-
ture of Alabama, togo through the farce
of organising "a Legislature and electing a
United States Senator, and the Governor
elect TO ignore the regular Legislature bold
ing its sessions in the place designated by
the Constitute of lie StSie, and recog-
missing and Corpora lug with the rebeliious
members as the Legislature of Ala
bams, solely because they are Republi-
cans. According to Radical logic, these men
are guilty of rank treason, yet Grant does
not stir finger TO suppress the traitors,
and enable the regular Legislature, acting
under warrant of the Constitution, and
recognized by the outgoing Governor as
the lawful Legislature, to assert Its author
ity and TO transact the business for which
the Legislature was elected. Such episodes
as this could not occur in other times and
uuder other rulers than the Radical party
have given Us, and they ought to consign
to merited infamy the party that upholds
in the conspirators.

COMMENTS is being made on the fnsn-
, cial reckIessness involved in the hints and
recommendation Of the Presidents mes
sage. According TO a Washington CORES
pendent of the New York Tribune prom
inent Western Representative, discussing
this point and Others in the midst OF a
knot Of his party friends, remarked that if
the message hsd been published before the
election it would have defeated Grant by
its extravaganza. A Pennsylva nian, who
was one Of the company, replied that the
President had been so strongly urged to
make the recommendations by Southern
and Western men that he had yielded TO
them, well knowing that the temper of
Congress was such that no such extrava-
CANT recommendations would be acted up

A "MONEY CHANGER" SEEKING
OFFICE


The "wild hunt for office" under the SO.
cond term of the Grant administration has
already begun. The latest patriot who
thinks he is peculiarly fitted to wear Bout
wells old clothes, is Mr.. Henry Clews, Of
New York, who is mixed up in an un-
enviable way with The finances of Georgia
under the Bullock regime. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, Grant organ, writes, Dec. s, as
follows:
"Tbe friends and agents of Henry Clews
are in this city urging his claims for the
secretaryship of the Treasury, which il
soon to be vacated by Secretary Boutwell,.
The financial views and future policy OF
Mr.. Clews are presented in a circular letter
from his pen, entitled "Our monetary evil;
some suggestions for their remedy" which
is being confdentially circulated in iufluen-
tial quarters. The document fills 16 pages,
and concludes with the following recapitu-
lation of the measures necessary, in MIR.
CleWs' judgment, to place our monetary
affairs upon stesdier and more national
basis, which are, first, renewal or anne
Iteration of the existing restrictions upon
national bank reserves; ?. Free issue OF
bank currency upon deposits of bonds at
Washington, as at pre- ent; 3. Effective ar
rangements for insufing contraction of bank
note circulation through redemption in sea-
sons of undue abundance of money; 4.
The utter abolition Of usury laws"

AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITU.
TION


The New York World favors anamand-
ment OF the Constitution containing the
following propositions:
1. Abolishing the machinery Of Presi-
dental Electors, and letting the people vote
directly for President and Vice-Presdent.
2. Limiting the President to q single term
OF (say) six years.
8. Giving all the appointed Federal Off
GERS term equal to that of the President,
but commencing and ending at the middle
of the Presidential terms. This would en-
able the President to become acquainted
with the merits of each officer, and to de.
eide inteligently whether the public service
would be promoted by his reappointment;
and, what is more important, it would pre-
Guide appointments as the mere reward of
party service in the elections, which is one
of the most corrupting things in our
politics.
4. Requiring all the State elections 10 be
held on the same day when the people vote
for President, and thereby facilitating an
honest expression Of the public judgment,
uniDfuenced by the estimation of chance S
which degrade our Presidential cleo lions O
the level of betting on a horse race.
The first and second propositions will do.
The third would be better if it were to
exempt from its application Cabinet
appointments and fixed the commencing
and ending Of other appointments twelve
months instead of two years after the IL
auguration of the President. To the fourth
proposition We object, as it would be an
unnecessary interference Of the present
rights of the States to fix the time of hold.
ing their own elections. The general gov
eminent has enough power now in inter
fering with local legislation. Many of the
State elections are now held upon the same
day with the Presidential election. We
think it would be better that all should be
SO. But that can best be left to tie judg-
ment of the several States.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1872-12-11

Mr.. HENRY L. PIERCE, the Republican
candidate for Mayor in Boston, has declined
the nomination because the Republican
Central Committee determined that the Sc
lection of all officers of the City Govern
ment should be controlled by national poll
tics. Mr.. Pierce refuses to bo a candidate
on these terms, claiming that, as every citi-
zen has a deep interest in the welfare OF
the city, all are entitled, irrespective OF their
political opinions, to fair representation
in the Municipal Government. This ssnt!-
ment, however just, is precisely what mere
office-trsders refuse to understand. 10
them the welfare Of the city is matter Of
party ascendancy, and party ascendsncy
means distribution of public offices among
those who manage party nominations.
