A Washington letter to til

A Washington letter to the
Chicago Inter 0ceoW says:
What would have been thought
in old times, of General Grant
throwing to the winds all forms
and ceremonies, driving his own
horses without an attendant? lie
calls and visits where, when and
on whom he pleases, walks down
the avenue, if he gets tired takes
street car, stops at the shops if he
has an errand to do, or stands III
the door of bank and takes a
view Of the crowu passing-as
saw him not long since. All this
is very dreadful to the old school
devotees, and the criticisms upon
it are numerous and severe.
The President goes to the Capt.
tol and talks familiarity with Sena-
tors and members about public
affairs. This, too, is a subject Of
animadyerSion by his enemies. His
interest in legislation is called by
them a desire to push pet schemes,
and the opposition 60 into conyul-
sions over the tendency Of the Exc
cutive to usurpation.
No President has ever possessed
the regularity and singular inde-
pendence that characterizes General
Grant in these particulars. There
is a strong element of common
sense too rare by far among men in
this mans nature, and he represents
a new order of administrative
minds, and naturally afiiliates with
those men who develop great enter
prises, who build railroads, open
new territory, make remarkable dis
coveries, and add to the greatness
and glory of the Republic.

A good Joke on Senator Sumner

A good joke on Senator Sumner
IS current in Washington. Every
body knows how persistent he has
been in introducing his Civil Rights
Bill, in season and out Of season !;
also, how equally persistent Senator
Bayard, of Delaware, has been in
opposing it. The other day, when
Summers bill was reached on the
calender, Senator Carpenter, who
was in the chair, turned toward and
said: "Does the Senator from Del.
aware object ?" u will ifthe Chair
desires it, replied Bayard, Shut /
did not say So" A burst otSenato-
rial laughter followed this reply,
showing not only q keen apprecia-
ton ofthe joke itself, but Of the ri
diculous attitude that Senator Sum-
ner and his Democratic brethren oc-
cupY toward each other.

members Of Legislative bodies, we
have strong reason to believe; but
such conduct has ever been regarded
as wrong, as bribery, and the perpe-
traitors, including both the acceptor
Of the money as well as the otferer,
have ever been regarded by the
masses of the American people with
odium. We do not remember Of
all instance where the use of money
in the direction of bribery was ever
sought to be justified by any per-
son, whose success in reaching office,
at least, rendered him prominent,
until we read d portion Of speech
purporting to have been made by
VT. Jones, lately elected L. s.
Senator by the Legislature Of Ne
vada. lie was thought to have
used money freely in procuring his
election, and was so charged by one
or more Of the newspapers After
Jones had been elected Senator, he
read a speech before the body which
elected him, in which he sought to
Justify the dishonorable course which
he doubtless pursued, by saying
that " Custom has sanctioned the
use ofmoney inSenatorial elections"
and "to inv9igh against the use of
money is simply to deny the newt
able and to incur more than sus-
picion Of want Of candor and intel
ligenee." These sentiments are in
famous. They justify bribery aud
stamp Jones as a villain. They
show that money, bribery, raised
him to the Senate. Custom does
not sanction any such iniquity. Bad
men, like himself, may use bribes,
and as bad men may accept them !;
but the law, which is the moral
sense Of the people, custom reduced
to rule, condemns it, proposes to
punish the giver and taker of a
bribe by fine and imprisonment. An
exchange says that money expend-
ed by party men for the party are
legitimate political disbursements !;
but these expenses are illegitimate
when expended in the interest of
any man within the party and for
his sole benefit. 1t then becomes
base corruption. We go farther
than this, or at least would be more
explicit. Bribery, whether il be
for the interest of party or men, is
base corruption. The disbursements
for party, so long as they are con-
fined to the promoting OF organiza-
ton, circulating OF speeches and
documents, paying the expenses Of
speakers and detraying the expenses
Of conventions, political gatherings,
ETC., are legitimate but when they
are used for the purpose Of buying
rotes, a great crime is committed.
A man who will offer or give a
bribe, is as deprayed wretch as
the one who accepts it. They are
both dishonest and unsafe. Justice
y
in the hands Of such men is on the
side Of self interest. The lack of
moral integrity that would permit
them to buy seat in the Senate,
would not hesitate long in prompt
ingthem to seek compensation for
their expenditures, by selling their
official votes. Hence their intlu-
enCe il detrimental to public justice
as well as virtue. Let the senti-
ment Of this man Jones, Senator
elect Of Nevada, once be accepted
by the people, and justice and yir-
tue will topple and fall, and in
