THE ISSUE IN PENNSYLVANIA

There are in prospect two local political con-
tests of vast import, on which it may be well
to say an earnest word before what may be
termed the national issues, so far as individuals
are concerned, are finally and formally made up.
Both too have one feature in common, that a
Reform of gross abuse, within the locality, is at
stake, and that in promoting it the strictness of
party discipline is thoroughly disturbed. We
refer to the State elections in Indiana and Penn
sylvana. There is an election for Governor
in each, in which, for candidates, the party of
Reform has selected the best and strongest
men, and the Administration faction their
worst. State Legislatures, too, are to
be chosen, not only with a choice of Sen
ators for each, but chance, in making that
choice, of getting rid for ever of men and
their surroundings who for years have exer-
cised a dominant and pestlent influence.
Such by eminence are Oliver p. Morton
and Simon Cameron. OF the former we do
not mean, at this time, to say a word even
in passing But the revolt against the latter
in the Commonwealth he has controlled so
long is so full of interest, and constitutes what
may be termed so propitious an incident of
the great canvass about to open, that we may
be pardoned for specially referring to it.
Not that we have the slightest idea of tracing
such mans story, now running over more
than thirty years. or solving the problem it
suggests, how, i'll community so full of men
of intelligence and intellectual accomplish
ment, an individual who has neither, who is
uneducated and inexpert in the maneuyers of
the very smallest politics, should have won
such success. The degrading fact is incon-
testabe. During his long career it is no
ticeable that Simon Cameron never has
dared to present himself as a candidate for
popular suffrage There is not day in the
last twenty years when, if he had been nOmi-
mated for Governor, he would not have been
ANONYMOUSLY defeated. AS candidate,
he turks in nominating conventions. Men
are secretly pledged to his support Legisla-
lures elected without apparent thought
of him are manipulated. There is no depth

COLFAX on GRANT.


We do not suppose Mr.. Colfax has taken
any new views of politics since the meeting
of the Philadelphia Convention, though he
probably has his own opinion of the prudence
evinced by that body IN making up the ticket.
We presume, therefore, that he is still fast
friend of Gen. Grant, and still persuaded that
we cannot do better than elect fer another
term the President who has guided the desti-
MES of the nation during the past three years.
To be sure he is said to have declared in 1868
that there were some sixteen reasons why
Grant ought not to be Presidents but we
know that in the early part of 1872 he ex-
pressed very different sentiments and was
ready-nOt to say aDxiOus-tO give his en-
phatic support to the same ticket which tri-
umphed four years ago. OF course the acci-
dent of q change in the second name on that
ticket has not modified Mr.. Colfaxs views of
the principles involved in the perding con-
test. His admiration for Gen. Grants charac-
ter is just as sincere, his approval of Gen.
Grants policy just as hearty, his desire for
Gen. Grants reelection just as earnest DOW as
it ever was. For Mr.. Colfax is sn honest
man, and when he tells us that he is for
Grant we must believe him.
But what did he mean then by his address
at Kalamazoo on the Fourth of Julyl He got
away from the commonplace glOnhcatiOn of
anniversary orators, and made some sensible
remarks on the Perils of the Republic, and we
fancy that his candidate, if he read them, will
be a little startled at Mr. COlfax's method of
backing his friends. One of the perils, for
instance, against which Mr.. Colfax warned us,
was increasing the national area by the an
nexation of unwilling or uncongenal people.
There was Santo Domingo pointing an appli-
cation. Willing enough the primitive inhab-
itants of that Republic may have been to come
under our protection, but Gen. BabcOck HIM
self himself could hardly cali them suitable
material to be turned into citizens of the
United States. Capitalization is another of
the perils against which we ought to guard /;
that is to say, centralization is dangerous in a
certain sense; for, as Mr.. Colfax prudently
remarked, great deal depends upon what you
mean by Capitalization. If you mean too much
government by the Federal authority, then it
is q very grave peril and do we not all know
that the great sin of Gen. Grants adminstra-
tion has been precisely of this character The
arm of the central power has been stretched
out over the remotest State concerns, has at
to regulate local elections by the
bayonet, and has undertaken to control the
choice of Congressman and village constables,
governors and gaugers, judges and ward dele

gates. Official corruption is the third of the dan
gers which in Mr. Colfax's opinion menace the
stability of the Republic. Whether in deliver
ing this warning he thought of the bargains
and sales in patronage, the frauds in customs
service, the misappropriation of money in the
Navy Department, the jobbery in the Ord
nance Bureau, the speculations of. the Santo
Domingo Ring, or the score of other scandals
for which Gen. Grants administration has De-
come celebrated. we considerably refrain from
asking. Perhaps we have misunderstood Mr.
Colfax's character all these years; he may be
terrible satirist.
But there is one remark of the Vice-Presi-
dents which we have no doubt he made in all
frankness and sincerity; he said the reflection
that he was not candidate this time with
Gen. Grant was great relief to his mind.
New-York tribune., 1872-07-06
DE PROFTNDIS.

Our remarks in regard to Mr.. AtlxnsOn's
plucky but indiscreet declaration of war against
everybody else, have had q startling effect
upon that venerable and highly respectable
paper, The Erening Post. 1t flew into pas
sion yesterday which, considering its age, its
plethoric habit, and the weather, is calculated
to fill its friends, among whom we are
proud to rank ourselves, with profound
concern. We do not know precisely
what has Occasoned this painful excite
ment. We spoke of the Profound People
not only with courtesy but with that reverence
which is their due. We frankly avowed our
opinion that if they only had little common
sense they would have every quality which
ennobles humanity. So it cannot be that
which has stirred The Post up to such danger
ous and apOplectlc fury. 1t is possible it does
not like our referring to the Profound
People without mentioning The Post. The
fact that this estimable paper continually
asserts that the Liberals have repudiated the
Cincinnati nomination gives color to the sus-
picion that it considers itself, and Mr.. Atkin-
son and Mr.. Lloyd, the Liberal party. This
trinity of profundity, so to speak, is the only
object of The Posts worship, and is probably
what it means when it says: "As for me and
"my house, we will serve the Lord,n for it
certainly cannot think of calling Gen. Grant
by so imperial a name.
But while we would do nothing to interfere
WITH The Posts ecstatic contemplation of its
own greatness and gravity, we cannot allow
it to write untruthful nonsense and attribute
it to The TRIBUNE. If our estimable cotem-
porary had read his TRIBUNE with more
candid and teachable spirit, he could never
have said anything so distressingly improper
as this:
Never, says THE TRIBUNE now, In effect there a
OF egresious dos. OF impracticabe jack
asses Of inflated pretendes than these very men,
Their aim is absurd, their motives suspicious, their
method abortve and their pretensons auShable They
are not In the least worthy OF respect because they pro-
pose nothing that the country needs ana they
in the least worthy OF fear because they few in
Liberal Republicans"
This misrepresentation arises from source
we can scarcely refer to without the risk of
making The Post still angrier. 1t comes from
the fact we have before mentioned, that the
square-root of the sub-bolt from the sub-bolt
of the Fifth Avenue Hotel considers itself
" the Liberal Republican party" and cannot
be persuaded out of it. 1t is like that beadle
who having been promptly chastised for some
impertinence, turned and said, In me you
" have kicked the majesty of England"
There were very few "egregious dolts."
New-York tribune., 1872-07-06
MR. MONEYS PROPOSITIONS.

In the ranks of extensive retOrmers, Mr
Thomas Mooney must be allowed foremost
place. Mr.. Mooney (whose name to some
minds will be unfortunately suggestive), after
extensive travel in the United States Canada,
Europe, and Australia, has come back to Eng
land with panacea for the troubles of Great
Britain and Ireland in his pocket. Recently,
upon Sunday evening, he unpacked his budget
of ameliorating reforms at the BOar's Head
Tavern, Long Acre, and we must admit that
no reformer ever laid out such an extensive
lot of work before. Mr.. Moneys ideas are
numerous, exhaustive gigantic, and, not to
put too fine a point upon it, sweeping and
even revolutionary. He begins by turning
everything topsyturvy, this beng, Ill the
opinion of Mr.. Mooney, the only way of get
ting matters right side up. He would seem to
regard chaos as the necessary preliminary of
reconstruction, and in order to have things as
they should be- he proposes that everything
that is shall cease to be. Such pulling down
before building up the world has never wit
messed, and even the analogy of the flood is
imperfect and unsatisfactory.
Mr. Mooney proposes to get at social perfec-
ton through chaos by the enactment of four
teen new laws. He begins by taking away
every body's land. All real property shall be
appropriatedn by the nation. The present
owners are to receive life annuities terminable
at their death. Then national commissioners
are to sell the lands to occupiers, but no one
is to have more than twenty acres, and all
purchasers are to be allowed twenty years in
which to pay, in twenty annual installments.
;s 20 ha N Of
in large and small denominations, to be paid
out and to be received by the Government.
When any one dies all his property is to re-
vert to the State to be sold over again. No
body is to be permitted to make
will or to bequeath property except to
his wife. Rents are to be abolished
and rendered uncolectable. Laws are to be
codifed and everybody furnished with a copy.
All new laws must be submitted to the people
before being acted upon by Parliaments.
Government is to encourage mutual manufac-
turing corporations, and also building sOcie-
ties. Suffrage is to be universal without
regard to sex. Every man is to serve in the
militia but women are 1--WE do not know why)
exempted. Railway companies must carry
labOrers free of charge in and out of cities
ten miles every morning. All titles of nobility
are to be abolished; it is to be made penal to
display on houses, vehicles, or documents any
armoral bearings or signs and liveries cock
ades, and like insignia" are by no means to
be allowed.
We pause for breath. Mr.. Mooney abso-
lutely overwheims us. For the life of us, we
cannot help thinking of Jack Cade. although.
mike Mr. Cade Mr. Mooney desires to make
education, instead of ignorance compulsory.
There is flavor in these propositions of the
three half-penny loaves sold for penny, of
the three-hoopcd pot with ten hoops, and of
the felony of drinking small beer. 8" All the

QUESTIONS THdT WILL NOT BE ANSWERED.
There are journalists who affect to believe,
and would fain make their readers believe,
that The TRIBUNE and its Editor were some
how favorable, or at least serviceable, to the
late RebelliOn-that they did nothing to aid
the Union in its life-and-death gTapple with
Secession If you meet one who is talking this
stuff, ask him to answer these questions:
|. Of what other journal than The TRIBUNE
can it be truly said that its correspondents
throughout the South, during the Winter of
1S6O-G1, were uniformly compelled to conceal
their connection with said journal and send
their letters under cover to mercantile houses? I?
(FOr the facts, consult the late Albert ID. Rich

was instinctively, persistently, assailed and
threatened with destruction by the mob which
terrorized and threatened our City with destruc-
tiOn throughout the anti-Draft Riots of July

III. OF what other journal than THE TRIBUNE
were the correspondents whom the chances of
war threw into Rebel captivity refused ex-
change on any terms, and kept in close con-
finement for nearly two years, until they
made their escape just before the collapse of
the Rebellon7 Several others were captured,
but none held in captivity even six months,
while ours were held over eighteen months,
though advantageous exchanges for them were
repeatedly offered, but the answer invariably
returned was, "We will not exchange TRIBUNE
correspondents" Why this partiality, if
The TRIBUNE were in any manner useful or
tender to the Rebels or their cause?
- That the facts were as above stated is
proved by testimony of the widest notoriety,
and absolutely unimpeachable. Ask the echoes
of The Times and Harper'S Weekly how they
account for those facts, or bring them into

commonwealth there was to be no money!

culation of E5OO0OO,0O0. Reading and writing
were to be at discount in the old British
Utopia; but in the Mooney commonwealth

fare but ill. Such schemes, we are obliged 70
believe, are sadly like loose generalizations in
dialectics. Perfection is the prettiest thing on
paper or in stage-plays; but we are
hardly near Gonzales republic yet. That
Mr.. Mooney has q good heart as well as
sharp tongue, we have reason to know. The
other night meeting was held in London to
promote an exploration of the ruins Of Pales-
tine. There was the Archbishop of York in
the chair, and everything was going on in
course of solemn routine, when up jumps our
Mr.. Mooney and offers resolution, the pur-
port Of which was that the meeting had better
consider first "the ruins of humanity en-
wrapped in squalor, poverty, ignorance, vice.
"and crime. which cover at least One-third Of
"the entire population of London" The Arch
bishop of York was greatly shocked, and re-
fused to put Mr.. Moneys resolution. Jeru-

few " inflated pretenders in the I'm
cinnati movement. They are all out OF IL
now. and vet we could not bring ourselves to
characterize them in language so unreseryed
as that used by the authority which knows
them best. But The Post must not assert that
we say the Liberal Republicans propose
"nothing that the country neecs," because tliS
is not true. They have proposed, in our opinion,
precisely what the country needs. "Ihey are not
in the least worthy Of fear;" that IS true
becouse their aims are such as all good men
should desire to see prevail. They are not
few in NUMBER They number far more
than we dared to hope when we eniisteu III
this campaign for reform, and their numbers
are increasing every day. Not only in number
but in weight, the array OF their
names is imposing. Governors Palmer and
Brown, who have borne themselves unspotted
in their great office; the two Senators Trum-
bull and Schurz, who in themselves are the
best representatives of that unfiinching de-
yotion to law and justice WHICH is the first
need of the hour, and Of that high and cul-
tivated aspiration for political and admins
tratiye reform which is the best hope
of the future White and Halstead,
Watterson, Bowles, and Bromley, the able and
incorruptible journalists who contributed
more than any other agency to make
this great campaign possible, and to
raise it to plane above mere par
tisan squabbling, all these men shared
in the Cincinnati movement accepted
its result and are at this day doing
yeomen service to realize, by the election OF
its candidates, the hopes and purposes with
which it was begun. If The Post says we
speak in any sense but honor and respect OF
these men, and the thousands who think and
act with them, it says what is at once absurd
and malicious. If it means only that itself
and Mr.. Atkinson are Liberals, then Liberal
ism becomes a question Of definition where
we should probably not agree.
