Scarcity of Appointments at Wash

scarcity of Appointments at WASH
ington.
There was never more dreary pros
pect for applicants for clerical positions
than the present. What Blair said of the
judges of the Supreme court is remarkably
applicable to the whole race of office-hold-
ers-''Few die and none resign" We
went in to see the Secretary Of War few
days since with friend who wished to Sc
cure an appointment as lieutenant in the
regular army for his son, who had made
brilliant record in the late war, and devel-
oped remarkable military aptitude. We
met three other gentlemen on similar err
rand. The Secretary stated that there
were only thirtv-six vacancies in the army,
and over seven hundred and fifty
applications from civilians, all Of
whom were well endorsed as SOL
diers. The West Point cadets would
require all these, and he thought should
hare them. The good man was very sorry
he had not fine places for all the gallant
boys who had fought we'll, but could give
no encouragement. He added, what we
think very sensible, that army life was now
complete burial of man with no pros
pect of glory or promotion.
We limited the propriety of throwing
open what places there were to competition,
but Mr.. Belknap clearly has the fear of
West Point before his eyes, and did not APP
prove the suggestion. While we think al
most any civil pursuit holds out higher in
ducements to capable young men than the
army, we insist upon the justice of COM
petitive examinations there, as we'll as for
civil appointments. Indeed, we consider
the former essential to the efficiency of the
army. 1t is monstrously unjust and short
sighted to overlook young men who have
shown great genius to command amid
| the fiery hail of battle, and officer
the army with men whose most bril-
liant achievements have been performed
upon the parade grounds, or in the bali
rooms at West Point. The people will
by-and-by see the absurdity of those base
less pretenslons for the exclusive right of
West Point to qualify young men for
soldiers. God makes great soldiers and he
scatters great genius everywhere. 1t is
quite unlikely that all military capacity
extant, or the highest even, has been con-
centrated in that petted institution. The
fact is that most people are dazzled by the
splendor of the balls and parades. The
handsome young fellows in unspotted uni
form are very captivating, and they have
cost the country too much to be thrown
aside. Give the veterans an equal chance,

Death of the Funding Bill.

Nearly two years ago The STATE
JOURNAL commenced its onslaught upon
the Funding bill of 1871, as scheme that
was iniquitous in its origin, Unjust in its
inequality of burdens laid upon the people,
oppressive to the last degree upon the tax
paying population Of the state, and up-
righteous in its determinations in favor of
the bondholder, since almost every
provision of the bill sought to
fasten greater rather than lighter bur-
den upon the people. From the COM
mencement of this fight to the close of the
last session of the General Assembly, we
gave the subject special prominence in our
columns, in opposition to the views of
many of our Republican friends in the State,
and only ceased our active efforts to defeat
the measure when we saw that it was prac-
tically dead issue before the people;
that it was impossible for the Conservative
party, so-called, to galvanize it into even
an appearance of life as popular measure
in the State.
We showed that it was utterly impossi-
BILE to meet the obligations it imposed, and
while the popular cry of "repudiation"
was raised against us, we demonstrated
the impossibility of carrying out the pro-
visions of the bill without forcing,
sooner or later, reputation as a
direct and inevitable issue upon
the people. The real repudiationist, we in
sisted hundred times over. was the man
who insisted upon compliance with the
terms of the bill. The Republican party
rallied promptly to our position. and the
masses of the people, acithom distinction of
pd'fg, endorsed At. The experience of
the State under the management of the
men who originated it, has fully vim
Dictated the correctness of our views, and
the true policy of putting them forth at the
time we did.
Governor Walker, who, if not the father,
was at least the chief Nestor of the scheme,
is reluctantly compelled to come to the
position taken by us, and virtually admits
that reputation must follow in the steps of
the Funding bill, unless the Federal gov
eminent comes to our aid in CARRYING the
indebtedness for US. We say this much
to-day not in any spirit of unkindliness to.
wards his Excellency, the Governor, for
the part he and his political friends saw fit
to take in fastening what we felt to be an
unjust measure upon the people of the
State. We should have been better salts
fled had we proved "a false prophet than
we now are with the mantle of Cassandra
thrown at our feet.
We reserve for the present our criticisms
upon the proposed plan of the Governor
for the assumption by the Federal govern
ment of the debts of the several states.
In the mean time we would say to our
Republican friends, who have heretofore
severely censured the course of the JOUR-
NAL on this subject, that hereafter it might
be as well for them to reserve their iuds-
ments upon measures advocated or opposed
by us until time and experience have vim
dicated the correctness of our views.

China and Japan via the Sandwich
Islands. This company have applied for a
charter to Congress, which will, of course,
be granted, as there can be no legitimate
objection to it. We have received an
address upon this subject from Captain
Moreno, the originator of the enterprise,
which ably sets forth its advantages to
this country as well to our neighbors Of
