LETTER FROM SENAToR sCHURZ
Scnotar Schurz writes from Washing
ton, Jan. 23l. that the same principle. the
| liberal republicans If Missouri inscribed
| on their banner in 1870 are now in the is
sue on the larger field OF national politics.
| The removal Of political disabilities
| il It'll the subject of controversy, and
the liberal republicans may point with
pride to their wise and conciliating actirn
| While nowhere the civil war WAS Carried
| on with more ferosty there's no stale u.
| dty in which more unbr1ken peace and
order prevails or in which the new rights
IF the cmancipated have been more COM
mol, t.Iv resp,ctpd and i'm which the reviv-
nj of fraternnl feeling is more general.
when the same spirit inspires congress
we may hope TO see similar results accom-
plished even in those unfortunate COM
munites where the "reminiscences of the
war are still kept alive by violent disor-
dcrs caused in II great measure by the ei-
clusion of numerous class Of influential
men from the management of public sf.
fairs. Mr.. Schurz next treats Of civil
service reform, ami says it is not improb-
able in the political contests now before
us that the trick will be resorto1 TO of
opening II prospect Of reform through one
Influence, aud the defeat Of that reform
through another, for the purpose of catch
ing reformers and sport,men in one net.
The letter concludes with the hope that
those sincerely devoted to the great ends
of public good will not let mere party dc
tation or an uncalled for renewal Of old
war cries deter them from following the
course pointed out by their sense Of duty.
