HOW THE ADMINISTRATION CAR
RIES ELECTIONS.

The recent election In New Hamp- |
shire furnishes an illustration of the
intermeddlingof the Grant administra-
ton in State elections, and the tactics
which have heretofore been successful
in carrying such elections for the Re-
pubhcans. The Neto York Sun states
that the election in New Hampshire
was preceded by unexpected signs of
mutiny in Secretary RObeson's vote fac
tory at the Portsmouth navy yard. 1t
is estimated, says the Sun, that the
Navy Department has expended at least
$3.50, 900 at this yard in order to secure
voters for the Administration ticket,
and the most violent indignation was
excited among the Federal Ofhceholders
when it became known that there was
danger that so profuse an expenditure
of the public funds might fail of yield
ing the desired result. 1t appears that
the men who have been employed since
January, receiving from two to five
dollars a day for the votes they were
expected to cast, knew from the expe-
rience of former years that the most
of them would probably be discharged
within few days after election, and
came to a secret understanding among
themselves that they would vote as
they pleased. The idea t1at American
citizens who were receiving pay from
the Government should presume to
vote in oposition to the will of their
official superiors struck the office
holders Ring as little less than rank
treason, and every variety of coaxing
and intimidation was resorted to for
the purpose of checking the dangerous
spirit of characterization. According
to the correspondence of the Boston
Post, the most tremendous efforts were
made to convince the navy yard mel
that if they would only vote right
they should be continued on the
rolls and draw pay whether there
is any work for them to do or not
A good deal of remark not entirely
complimentary to Robeson's character
for veraclty has been caused IN New
Hampshire by the receipt of letter;
from Congressman Randall and Park
er, who wrote that, having waited on
the Secretary of the Navy and remon'
strated with him against the outrageou;
and disgraceful prostitution of the civil
service in the Portsmouth Navy Yard
they had been informed by that Official
that not over 800 men were employed
there, and no more than the necessities
of the service required. 1t is confident,
ly asserted by the correspondent of the
Post that from 1900 to 1000 men have
been on the pay rolls there since tht
first of January, at least 1000 of whom
were not needed in any of the depart
ments of the yard.

Leet and Stocking, that were damaged
and damned by that investigation.
Butler was no way involved in the
Credit Mobilier infamies which ruined
so many Republican Representatives,
except by defending Cakes Ames
in the House several years after
that gigantic iniquity had been
perpetrated. Butler is not the one
black sheep of the flock. They are all
of the same color. He differs from the
others only In having the audacity and
capacity of leadership which belong to
a bell-wether- The 'Butlerism' on
which the Times pours out the foam
ing walls of its Indignation, IS only a
holder type of .Grantism.' Grant be-
gan by bestowing fat offices on all his
relations by blood or marriage and on
all who had made him presents. But
Ter with deeper insight into politics,
saw that political power needs to be
kent as well as used, aud favored the
bestowal of Offices rather upon unscru-
pulous intriguers who are capable of
efficient service than upon poor sticks
of blood relations who can givenothing
in return. Without at all ousting, CT
attempting to GUST, the swarm Of
blood-sucker family relations, he has
convinced Grant that he needs
tools as well as favorites, and has per-
suaded him that the residue of the pat.
ronage not monopolized by the Grant
family should be employed to purchase
efficient underlings. In point of re
spectability 'Grantism' has no advan
tage over 'Butlerism.' In point o.
sense and 'sconce' Butlerism is superior
since it is better to have augers that
will bore Ito use favorite expression
of President Lincoln's). than auger
that will not bore. Butlerism ana
Grantism are identical in SO far as the.
prostitute public offices to selfish end
or to selfish qualification. So far a
they differ, they differ to the credit O
Butlerism, inasmuch as it requires NOR,
brains to make the perverted public
patronage fruitful in political results
The conquest which Butler has mad
of the President, against which The
Times raises its lugubrious howl, mere
ly demonstrates the superiority Of sci
fshness plus brains to sel6shness minu
brains"

THE pension Office is in danger Of

committee, The charges are made by
Helen NJ. Barnard, former clerk in
the Office, who is said to be acquainted
with somedamaging facts inconnection
with its management. Commissioner
Baker is averse to ADMINISTRATION, and
threatens, in case it goes on, to expose
a number of newspaper correspondents
who held sinecue positions in the office
for years past, drawing their salary
regularly, but doing no work. This is
precisely what the public want to know
the names of the correspondents, and
the papers they represent. 1t is grave
offense, much more SO in newspaper
men than in any other class, for in their
cases the positions take the form of a
bride, and their salaries are simply

THE Washington correspondent OF
the st. Louis Republican writes under
date of March IL: Almost before the
warmth had left Senator Sumner
corpse today, Butler had sent teIe-
grams to all his henchmen in Massachu-
sets in relation to the succession. HIS
object is not 50 much to elect himself
for he knows that would be impossible,
but he represents the White House IN
this action upon this matter, The
question Of Summers successor IS be-
ING agitated in Massachusetts,, and the
probability is that the contest viii be
an exceedingly bitterone. It's thought
the election viii occur on the 18th INST.
