JOHN J. Knox, Deputy Comptroller of the
Currency, has been promoted to the vacancy
created by the resignation of II. r. HUI
BURD. This promotion was made in pursu-
| ance of the civil service rules that have been
adopted. 1t is quite probable that Mr.. KNOX
made very good CLERK, and may succeed in
discharging the duties of Comptroller. Butwe
suggest to those in power that they Will
find some other claims necessary to the sue
cess of Republicanism. 1t is all very well,
this lofty talk about disregarding political
consideration in making appointments. But
of what use will that fine spun theory be
when the people have been made to believe
that there is really no difference between
Democracy and Republicanism, and have
acted out the idea by trying Democratic
Administration in order to test the question?
If it be wise doctrine in case of heads of
Bureaus, so it is in the Presidency and heads
of Departments. If the principle be carried
out the Vice President must succeed the
President, an assistant the Secretary OF the
Treasury, and so on, until the Democracy
have again got control of the Government,
when they will make haste to repudiate the
whole civil service scheme, remove every Re-
publican in office, as they ought to do, and fill
their places with men whose views are in
harmony with those of the party the people
have placed in power. Mr.. KNOX has no
| other claims upon office than that he has held
one for years. He has no sympathy with the
Republican party, and has done nothing to
help maintain its ascendency. Seek to de-
spise it as we may, the fact is that all men
are governed more or less by their own in
terests and passions. Real or imagined in
dignities or disregard of their wishes, not
always in the frankest and most courteous
way, is at the bottom of all the opposition
there is to GRANT. Reasonable men will
submit to disappointment without complaint
if the motive for refusing the request be can
didly and civilly explained. Many of the
boilers are not reasonable men, nor even hon.
est, and nothing but surTendering the Gov
eminent into their hands would satisfy Them
They have deliberately resolved to DESTROY
the Republican party. But many others
might have been retained in ours by little
more frankness, and little less cold, chilling,
repulsive fOrmality. 1t requires rare de-
gree of virtue and forbearance on the part of
an American citizen to submit uncompain-
ingly to the treatment they sometimes re-
ceive from those they have helped elevate to,
office. Cicilay don't cost anything; but it
has wonderful influence. Frankness is a
virtue as cheap and almost as potent if sea-
soned with kindness. We suggest to all
those in authority over us the policy of trying
the experiment, as well to those who are not
their personal favortes as to those who are.
We predict that it will have wonderful in
huence in conciliating the disappointed, in
STRENGTHENING party ties, and stimulating per-
sonal efforts

HOW the French View II.

Inc French, like the Germans, contemutu-
ously repel the intermedding of ScHURz in
'heir affairs, and very plainly give him TO
understand that they see through his motives.
In regard to his superserviceable zeal in their
behalf, the Baltimore American contains an
Item OF information he will look upon as a
sharp rebuke, unless his skin is too thick IN
feel anything. 1t is in reference IN the
views OF GAMBETTA, for months d,ring the
recent war the director of the destinies of
france. He takes strong ground for the
reeiectlon OF GRANT, and assumes that the
arms investigation has no foundation what.
ever. GAMBErTA certainly should be pretty
sood authortyion that subject. No one has
accused HIM of'corruption, and his knowledge
oi the Remingtons and their contracts should
oe very intimate. GAMBETTA INDUCES in
some very severe structures ON the conduct of
the Germans in America, and on their role in
politics, and thinks they constitute bad and
dangerous element in the political world E,ere
lie says: We know to-day in Frar.,e what
our disinterested hospitality has cost ms. %
he thinks that because they maintained a
widespread espionage in France in times of
peace they may do the same thing in
America.

An Insult Resented.

Capt. E. B. WARD, Of Detroit, Michigan,
employs more men, has distributed more
money throughout the Northwest, and has
done more to develop the resources and pro-
mote the prosperity of the country than all
the TRUMBULLs and SEIZURES that God has
ever permitted to cumber the ground, resents
as gross insult to his judgment as well as
his patriotism their use of his name to give
character to their detection. Capt. WARD, who
owns extensive iron works and rolling mills
in Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin, and is
engaged in large enterprises in other States.
not only has the practical experience but the
brains to enable him to speak intelligently of
the character of the Administration and the in
fiuence of its policy upon the industry of the
country. This the bread-and-butter nom
productive demagogues, who live by their.
wits and upon the industry of others, are not
competent to do. Capt. WARD expresses
his surprise that anybody should have the
efirontery to charge him with "deserting the
party that has crushed secession, abolished
slavery, enhanced the credit of the nation
after the most expensive war, and inaugu-
rated system of care, economy, and integ-
rlty in the financial management of the Gov
eminent that has not been equaled since the
administration of JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
During the term the Republicans have cork-
trolled the Government the United States
has almost doubled its taxable property, and
Tor all time to come, the period from the
Inauguration of Mr.. LINCOLN to the present
time will be referred to as the most prosper
GUS period in our history
Since the Republicans have had control of
the Government, Capt. WARD asserts that
our manufacturing power has more than
doubled, and that our mechanics and labor
ing men were never so well paid as now;
while the whole population are enjoying a
degree OF prosperity and mental improvement
altogether unparalleled. General GRANT is
thorough friend to American labor, and as
such iavors the advancement of all classes of
enterprises that tend to the development of
American industry. He will never consent
to policy that will convert the United States
into an Ireland for Europe to fatten r,pon
No honest man who has passed tbrouob
the last ten years with his eyes open and
brains enough to comprehend what he sees.
but will admit the truth of this. Purblind
demagogues, who have spent their lives
nosing about for some way to pull down the
reputation of their neighbor that they might
profit by his ruin, of course can find NOTHING
to satisfy them. Incendiary-like, they have
resolved to burn the Republican edifice i'm

Civil Rights.

The Rev. Mr.. ALsroN, of Philadelphia
delivered an eloquent and able sermon or

Church, proving by Biblical argument the

the colored men as well as their officers
on that memorable OCCASION. The sight
of such a military demonstration, uniforms
glittering in the sun, banners flying, and
splendid martial music sounding through
the streets of the great city, told more elo-
quently than words can tell, of the vast and
wonderful changes which have come over the
whole country.
Speaking OF the ability of the black man
in the National Convention, we must not fail
to mention Mr.. HARRAIsoN. of Alabama
He is one of the most amusing, ready, witted,
and gifted debaters that took part in the pro-
ceedings. While he has humor enough in
him to supply half dozen circus clowns he
is a man of real solid sense. If we could find
it in our heart to criticise one we like so well
we should say he is all the while in danger
of letting his unreasonable love of drollery
get the better of the more serious side of his
nature, and preferring to make men laugh to
making them think, for it is in his power to
do the latter as well as the former.
The paper submitted to the convention by
Gov. RANsIER, from the committee on plat
form, and read by Mr.. T. NORRIS CHESTER,
in strong, sonorous voice, was at once re-
! ceived as the sentiment of the convention
Only one feature of the platform caused hesi-
tation, and that was the making the Supple
mentary Civil Rights Bill the test Of Repub-
lican orthodoxy. Upon this question Mr..
PETER IL. CLARK, of Ohio, Mr.. RAPIER and
Mr.. HARRALsoN, Alabama, differed from
everybody else in the convention. Mr..
CLARK especially distinguished himself by his
opposition to this feature of the platform
We shall hereafter print synopsis of the
speeches pro and con on this subject; and
also have something more to say of our trip
South, and of the personnel of a convention
which has attracted more attention, owing to
the peculiar condition of American politics at
the moment, than any other colored convention
ever held in the United States. Our time
and space forbid more at the present writing

leave respectfully to suggest the name OF
Hon. PAT DOMAIN, of Lexington, Missouri,
and editor of the Caucasian, the leading
Democratic Liberal Republican and possum
organ of the country. PAT was one Of the
originators of the Cincinnati Convention, is a
favored correspondent of Mr.. GREELEY and
has his entire confidence, and has declared
his purpose to "beat GRANT" at all events.
We are confident his nomination would
give entire satisfaction to Mr.. GREELEY and
the whole Liberal Republican" party, either
as their first choice or a compromise candi-
date. He undoubtedly is their man, and
enters as fully as the most Jealous of them
into the spirit of the " Liberal Republican"
watchword and rallying cry-"Anything to
beat GRANT" 1t was in the spirit, if not the
very letter, of this Inspiring cry that Mr.. PAT
DOMAIN declared a few days since in his paper
that if all other means failed, and the people
should reflect him in spite of their efforts, he
must be assassinated.
1t will be seen, therefore, that he under
stands what the enemies of Gen. GRANT
want, and has discovered, as a last resort, a
sure way to beat GRANT" If they will
make him their candidate at Cincinnati he
will probably not stop till after the election
to put in execution his plan to "beat
GRANT" 1t would save great deal of
trouble to "beat" him before, and save any
such scandal and change of Administration
as President LINCoLN's taking off caused.
The anything to beat" LINCOLN, the rebel
Democracy now feel, was delayed too long.
Mr.. DOMAIN, the Liberal Republican,"
standard-bearer, will probably see that this
mistake is not repeated

iou ohes, we Hualiy reached New Orleans
Saturday morning between one and two
O'Clock, and were met by Lieut.. Governor
PINCHBACK and committee of gentlemen
appointed to receive and conduct us to hos.
pitable homes during our stay in the Crescent
City.
Never did committee more faithfully per-
form their duty. But what a change in the
climate! A few hours ago and we were
amid the frosts of Northern April. while
now we are in the full bloom of summer, with
senses assailed by the beauty and fragrance
OF nnumerable flowers. Thus early the
peas have come and gone, and the vines on
which they grew have faded and fallen. The
tables are furnished with beets and new DO
tatoes. Strawberries are becoming scarce.
and mosquitoes plentiful, while snow is falling
upon our house at Rochester, New York!
Very little need be said here of the Con.
vention. Our readers have learned, or will
learn from other sources, something of its
proceedings. Its work was done for the
most part before we reached it. If it did not
DO much good, it was careful not to do much
harm. The good that il did was to show
the. American people that the colored voters
of the country mean to SO exercise their pol;ti.
cal power as to secure at least civil equality
for themselves and their children. They are
satisfied with no condition of halfness. They
