We have several very close to the Missouri Riv-
or, who would not object to the Office. Some Of
the papers undertook to lie very sarcastic at our
expense, when We said, few weeks ago, thst We
did not want any man who had Honest" tackled
on to his name. We still say so. Our experience
has been, that when man succeeds in getting this
prefix to his name, and making it part of his name,
be is either galoot or needs watching. It is
possible for man to be honest without carrying
tho title attached to his name; it ia equally pos
sible for man to combine fitness and honesty
and to run the State Government with Judgment
and reason as well a. it can be done with bull

THE GERMANs.-Why is it that the Greeley
papers don't blow as much about the Germans as
they used tot We have been 40 accustomed to
read how the Germans were hccking to the Gree
ley standard, that we feel lonesome without them.
The reason simply is, that the Germans have
about quit going over to Greeley; and those who
did 20, have started on their return trip. The
Irish, too, are by NO means unanimous for Gree
ley. In the Cities there arc large Irish Grant and
Wilson Clubs. We believe Greeley still retains
most of the Christ killers. when the "elips"
break ranks on him, it will be his last grip on any
class of voters that be claims to have secured By
the drove.

Opposition to the Ciyil-SeFyice Rules
@EAsy Developing. ..

a Correspondence Of the New York Times1
WASHINGTON, November 1s.-The signs OF
the times point to sharp attack in Congress
on the new civil.service appointment ma.
chinery. There Is class Of politicians who
have boldly opposed the principal Of separa.
ting the civil appointments from party Ia.
fuences, and who are earnestly demanding
the continuance Of the spells system. They
submitted to have reform inserted In the
Philadelphia platform and preached during
the canvass, but all the tune made mental
protest against any reform which should pre-
vent them from rewarding their friends and
Furnishing their enemies by extending or
Withholding the patronage Of the Govern
ment. Now thai the election is over, in
creased opposition is arising. 1t is un-
doubted that On attempt will be made in
Congress to repeal all the legislation there
has been on the subject. Just what quarter
the proposition will come from is uncertain.
The election has rendered the friends of the
measure stronger than ever, and they have
the advantage Of an appeal to the platform
on which the party triumphed. The large
majorities in several States, instead Of being
held to be demand for great share in the
peadling Of petty offices, is looked upon as
giving the President great freedom and In.
dependence, for nowhere can any man be
put forward and have his claims presented as
the one to whom any particular result ought
to be attributed.

CURIOUS FEATURE IN TIE IRON TRADE
The Pittsburgh Commercial of the 18th
says:
1.-THE iron trade just now presents some
remarkable phases. There are at present In
this city agents of an English house who Of
fer to deliver In Pittsburgh sixteen thousand
tons Of ore from Algeria at prices quite
moderate. At the figures named the ore
would not cost more than Lake Superior ore
at the prices spoken of for next season. Ores
are also offering from Nova Scotia at figures
still less than the African ore. These ores
are warranted to yield sixty-two per cent. of
iron. Should Superior ores continue to adj
vance, the foreign product will at once come
in competition with them. 1t is remarkable
that these ores can be carried such long dis
tances by water, and then freighted several
hundred miles inland and offered at prices so
moderate. Should the demand for iron con-
tinue to increase it will no doubt stimulate
the development of our mines of low-grade
ORE, The hills of Western Pennsylvania
and West Virginia are rich in iron ores-of
lower per cent, it is true, than those of the
Superior region, but which, considering the
difference in cost, must soon find market.
1t would be an anomaly, indeed, should the
iron ores Of Africa be brought into competi-
ton with those of Lake Superior in tho Pitts.

by force Of law and the bayonet---there were
no lalroads--there were no telegraphs-
there were no inordinate and overgrown
fortunes to eel people crazy after riches
man worth $4,000 was then relatively
worth as much as man who now boasts his
$500, o0o-nobody was oppressively wealthy,
nobody was staryingly poor-there were

corruption began to germinate, and where
men began to be ashamed to let their fellow

compare it with this. The sunshine Of pro-
found peace, the pleasures and joys of unre-

. The Boston Globe has an article on "Gas
Reform" 1t says:
"The disproportien existing between the
charges of gas companies in Europe and
those of this country show clearly that re-
form is needed here. In the city of London
gas Is supplied by private companies, but
quality and price, and there the rate charged
is eighty cents per thousand feet. In Shef:
field 1t is made by private companies and sold
ut sixty cents per thousand; and in Liver
pool the price is about the same. In Man
chester the city OWNS the gas works, and the
price charged 10 individual subscribers is
sixty-fye cents per thousand feet. In the
city Of Paris the Government draws large
revenue from the gas companies, and yet the
price is much less than it is IN this country"

Election Frauds.


It Is a sad sfics that election frauds have
become common It, this country. But II is
true. and there is no good reason 10 DE-
licve that they win not continue TO DC prae.
tioed. The ballot system, Is the system o'
fraud as well as cowardiee. open sosins
would ubolIs,, IFS outrages, its contemplate
and ecoundrelly devices; but shall we ever
have that noble and manly way of exercising
the right of voting again in this country!
When apeople sc, ashamed to vote openly
before one another they are trlitors the one
70 the other, and that liberty which Is eXef-
ciscd coyer,ly and fearfuliy is mockery OF
tic name Of liberty. 1t is anahomination I'D
the sight OF every man who feels that ne Is q
man. and. worthy of the rights OF equaiit!
aud freedom.
Tina, the election fra,ds have been prac-
.;ced in the South we doubt not; but that
there is any comparison between the extent
Of these frauds in the South and IN tue
North we do not believe. The extent OF
election frauds In the North is unimagnablc,
while in the South il has been exceedingly
limited.
But is 1t not folly to be getting up prose-
ca.ious for alleged frauds? Are not the
m,orilies of General GRANT sufficient to
crafty The most inordinate ambition? Then
what is the use Of prosecutions. The cases
prosecuted must be contemplate in number
compared with the multitude of frauds, and
why excite the land with the few for the
sake Of scape-goat here and there9
The prosecutions are probably more nu-
merous in the South than they are In the
North, where the great bulk Of corruptions
0, the ballot has occurred. Prosecutions
have been initiatcd there, but of course they
will never come to anything. We believe
they ore all abandoned. Why press things
&C the South! 49,
Really it seems to lie absurd, In the face of
the almost unprecedented majorities of Gene
ral grant, that there should be any talk Of
frauds: and for the sake of the national repu-
tation, as well as to avoid an absurdity SO gro
tasque as to set the nation in broad grin, oil
the prosecutions for fraud ought to be aban-
doped. .. ...... j

France and Liberty.

Some wise investigators Of social and po-
litical philosophy have expressed their opin-
ions freely with reference to the French
Republic, and several Of them in this country
have OF late ventured the opinion that the
French republic is permanency. We do
not understand what they mean BY repub.
lie; but II republic "a q country where
opinion 10 free--where men may declare
their views, and where the press and the
songue are at iherty-then we do not see
any consistency with republicanisin In the
question raised in the Chambers as to the
propriety Of the speeches of GAMBErTA.
Assuredly the raising of that question Is in
effect the denial Of the freedom OF opinion.
The vote for denouncing GAMBErTA was very
large, and there is reason to believe that &c
would have carried but that TIMERS would
have considered it vote of want Of conf
dence 10 his government for not having put
m exiingnisber upon GAMBETTA! Is TINT
republicanism?
1t Is evident that THEIRS thought GAM
nsrTA's trash was harmless, or he would
have brought down the screws upon him.
1t is true he declared that the Government
was not responsible; but he nevertheless de-
lnandsd that vote of confidence in the Gov
ernment which would show faith In it to
ward OF hostile elements, whether In the
speeches Of GAMBgrTA or anything else that
Frsnchfnan would consider dangerous.

sad thing that monarchy has been SO badly

not monarchy-it is Red Republicanism and
utter infdelity. These two evils have made
that wonderful country-wonderful for its
genius and its energy-bleed, and have
caused France to sit mourning over the woes
that have filed her borders with misery.
