REORGANIZING.

Under any circumstances the Waterloo
defeat OF the Republicans at the late
elections, will be productive of much
good. In one direction it already has
had an excellent effect, and that is to set
the better portion Of the Administration
party hard at work tightening the ship OF
its useless lumber, in the shape of some
Of the cormorants that have so long
preyed upon the public purse. These
leaks are to be stopped, the parties who
benefited by them are to be kicked out,
and general overhauling is to be made.
The corrupt and their works are to be
thrown overheard, and thorough pro-
CESS of cleaning, ventilation and fumiga-
ton is to be had. If nothing else is done
there will at any rate be so much done
in the way of a return to the practice and
principles which controlled the Govern
ment in its earlier and better days.
This will be long step in the right
direction, and even il the Republican
party retains its hold on power, the good
effects will be at once and for some time
plainly perceptible. The leaders of that
party will not, it is probable, remain
satisfied with making any ordinary show
ing, as an inducement for the people TO
restore them to their confidence. but
will most likely make some well devised
and persistent efforts to induce the coun-
try to allow them to retain the reins OF
power. The administration and its i'm
mediate supporters have at last learned
the lesson that they cannot any longer
rely upon their war record as an incen-
tive for the nation to continue them as
directors OF the vessel of the State. That
answered for time, but its glamor has
now ceased to 90 dazzle the people ai
for them not to require any other claim
for their support. That time has gon
by and tho recent elections afford pos
tive evidence that the country require
something more than mere recollection'
however glorious they may be. This
now recognized, and the Republica
leaders, many of whom are very able
see it very plainly and are going, it
reported, to make a vigorous attempt
removing the chief causes of complain
that have been made against the party.
they do this in good faith, with an earne
and honest endeavour to put IN end
the shameless corruption which has
long prevailed under the present admir-
istration. then the Democrats, thong
they are now in possession OF an ou
work, may for some time be kept out c
the citadel. On the other hand, it tn
rumors sent by telegraph are true, tina
the short session Of the present Con
gress, will be devoted to the accomplish
ment OF plundering schemes and sigma
lied by strictly partizan legislation, the
indeed may the Republicans, when the
close that session, take farewell and
long farewell, to the pomp and vanitit
