these qualities We're it not notorious that
the Egforrn organ only wants to help some
Of its needy friends, who have found the
nraotiee of law on a. small capital Of brains
an uphill business The recorders, city
surveyor and secretary of the Council are
also marked for removal, without regard
to law or equity, to satisfy the ineXoraole
greed Of pretended Refo-mers for pubic
position.
When the terms of the gentlemen who
now fiji. these places expire by limitation,
or when either is removed for neglect OF
duty, incompetency Or mafeasanoe, we
shall expect the Council at the time to I'LL
their places, and with applicants OF their
own political kidney. But. as the City
Attorney. surveyor and the six recorders
are chosen for two years, with no power
vested IN the Council TO remove them for
no other reason than that they aye Repub'
licans, we hope the friends Of the Picoy0ne'
who manifest such indecent haste to step
into their shoes, will wait the proper time.
To remove them before their terms expire,
would be to place double Sc: Of officers
under pay. when one Sc: costs more than
they are really worth. The law creating
|, the offices coveted is very explicit in de-
fning the tenure, and the mode Of Se"
movaI is left rather TO conjecture than
otherwise. We have no special interest IN
either Nj. Bell. Mr. Lacey, OF any Of The
several recorders. For any bepef: they
are TO Us. they might be Refogmers, last
Ditchers. Democrats or anything else:
We only insist that ases Of hungry leecheS
shall not be !oisteG upon depleted treas"
ury before we have got rid OF the officers
now in place in q legal manner. If any
one OF them is properly Improbable. let
him go; but we protes! against receiving
in evidence the necessities of any hungry
Refoymer whom the Pjcayllne may have
ready TO push into the place. When the
time comes to elect their successors, we
shall have 40 occasion to complain if they
are superseded by others, provided the
new applicants possess even folerable
qualifications. But we object 20 begin
ming the work Of retrencnman: and re"
form by perpetrating pal9ab.e and ex'

Hon. Lewis TiIlman,

It will be remembered that this gentle
man has taken stock in the Greeley con-
Germ. He has written letter OH the sub
ject which we find in the Shelbyville Com
neercidt, and give that his numerous
friends may see upon how slender a reason
a man will sometimes SHIFT positions. His
announcement, that he would support
Horace Maynard, will ruin him with bis
new political friends and associates:
Ny name having been mentioned in
your paper, and others, in connection with
the position of Greeley Elector for this Dis
trict, / deem it my duty to say, that if the
position were rendered me, it would be
quite unexpected, and could not be accept
ed.
1 propose, however, to vote for Mr.. Gree
ley, but not as "a lesser evil" than General
Grant, for / regard them both as great
goods, and that neither deserve the Demo
cratic abuse heretofore heaped upon them,
and much less the Republican abuse now
cast at each by some of their respective Re-
publican friends.
I regard the adoption of the Cincinnati
platform and nomination of Mr.. Greeley
by the Democratic party, as complete an
abandonment of Democratic opposition to
Republican principles and measures grow
ing out of the rebellion, as If the party had
