soen,a Z very vagary OF flying III the face Of the
conscientious Judgment Of The nation; which
cannot DO approved, and which there can scarcely
be eyon an attempt to apologize for. 1t seea,s

Infamous in tho recent management Of District

Tho proBidont appears determined that tho

boon oxpollod by Congroas from tho office ol

THO almost unanimous jndgmont Of Congreaa
mud Of thoconntry wore agalnst him. Yet right in
tho faco Of this vortliot Tho President made
social trip to Capo May with Shepherd, aud Oh
returning to Tho Whlto House appointed him to
ut oflico 10 noarly like tho ono from which Ao
was expcilcd that thcre is IN appoatauce of
mnlco in tho act. This appointment wae ono Of
tho worst oyentn IN this ovontfu administration,
and the Senate did right in rcbuking the Presl-
dens 30 o.nphaticully. It rojeoted tho nomina-
tlon almost unanimously, Just as tho Now York
sonato would hayo rejected tho nomination Of
Tweod, II, aftor tho exposure Of tho frauds Of
tho Now York ring, the Legislature Of this State
Ind intruatod tho government Of this city to
Board OF three Commissioners to he appointed

Shepherd was not cenaurod by nnme, but his

his substantial roappolut,nont was possible, ho
would probably hive boon expressly excluded.
Tho presidont. may be personally satihiied Of

AlAA Pl4hoEGA Ae h4LA kA0 HOW'D tAhe
the notorious Doss Shepherd had been noml-
mated by President Grant to the now ofllco Of
Commissioner OF tho District Of Columbia.
For tho nomination there is no excuse; and
we shall not throw away every fg-leaf Of
honesty and deceuoy for tho snke Of protond-
:. log to support President Grans, or anybody
else, in tlis insult to the American people.
This man Shepherd has been shown, on
unlmpoached testimony, to bo tho head
Of ring OF public. pluuderors, as cor
rupt, and more brazen, than Tammany in
tho most palmy dnys Of Iwoed. No i'll
tolligent American reader doubts 1t. The hon
oBt people Of tho great Empire State, Domo-
Gratis as we'll ~ Republicans. took good care
that proper disposition should he made
Of Boss Tweed when once they were convinced
that be was thief. But to any candid mind
tue evidence against Shepherd ia IS damaging
as tho evidonCe against Tweed. III tho iudg-
mout Of tue public the two men are alike Cri,ni-
nails. But tile people OF New York hayo aent
Tweed 10 BIackwe!l's Island, and the President
Of the United States haa nominated Shophurd 10
q high and Responsible office. 10 which his cor.
ruption eau bo continued. What contrast
His nomination wAB laid on the table
With but few dissenting voices, and tha other
menboEB OF tho commission wero promptly Con-
htmed. Tlis rebuAe Of tho Presidents out
rageoua net was not BY any means sufficient to
settle thu matter. The President stands I'M
pcached in the eyes Of all honest men. And no
Senate can right him. and no fsse logic defoud
him. He ia on the horns Of dilemma, ono OF
which is knayery aud tho other STUPID ignorance.
