Pol,,scal Changes.

The leaven which produced such
strong political effect in the States OF
the Northwest, last fall, is now working
similar rennlts in the East. We have
reported sweeping Democratic victory
in Connecticut. Ingersoll (Democrai)
is elected by a handsome plurality vote
over Harrison, (Ropublican,) and by a
strong majority vote over both compe-
titors-Smith, who ran as prohibitionist,
receiving over 1000 votes. The House
is heavily Democratic, and the Senate
stands eighteen Democrats and Eve
Republicans. This settles the question
Of choice of United States Senator. In
Dayton and Cleveland, Ohio. the Demo.
orats elect Mayor and city ticket.
The election in Cincinnati has gone
strongly for the Democrats, there being
forty.four Democrats to thirty.one Re-
publicans on Joint ballot. 1t is evident
that important political changes are
taking place. The Republican party is
disintegrating. It has seen its best or
more prosperous days. Having accom-
plished its work, such as it was, and the
results being now fairly before tho conn-
try, il fails 10 receive the need of popu-
lar approval, or the welcoming sound of
"well done" No political party in this
country has ever before brought in The
train of its success SO many frauds, so
much corruption, such an army of mere
iobbers, such O horde of dishonest
placemen. Whatever usefulness or
honor this party ever could lay claim to.
it is now considered to have forfeited or
lost. New combinations are taking
place, and new organization, whatever
it's name, embodying the country's pro-
test against misrule. corruption ard the
lowering of the national character in
thousand ways, will wrest the sceptre
from hands now too weak end prc1iyate
to hold it any longer with credit.

Tho WhIttemore Delegation.

IS 1t we had philosopher square IN IL e
flesh, as We have him so admirably
drawn in the pages OF Fielding, he
would hugely rejoice over the 'ftnesa
OF things" which has sent L. Cass Car
penter, B. F. Whittemore, Y. J. P.
Ovens. ETC., as representatives of the
rotteu Government OF South Carolinn,
to answer the complain: Of the tax-pay-
ers in Washington. And by an instinct
which is unerring, they have chosen as
spokesman the most suitable man to
misrepresent the truth of affairs here,
7 and the most unblushing in tho use of
,denunciation Of men whose shoes latchet
. he is unworthy to unloose. He showed
IN his argumen. before President G7ans,
that the greater part OF the grievances
complained OF were imaginary. The
Conservative people Of South Carolina
thought that they knew aud had expo a.
.enced the evils OF misgovernment, ex-
sscessive taxes, and myriad abuses and
ontrages. But L. Q. G. coolly Informs
: all whom it may concern, that these are
mere dreams and unsubstantial fictions.
Mr.. Pike is mistaken, and everybody
else is mistaken. L. G. G. has been in q
position to find out things. He and his
committee have felt no troubles. He
and they are free from oppression. They
get along swimmingly. Why should the
people complain? Let them hasten to
recover from such delusions. We are
further informed Of the effort of L. @.
O., that he ''spoke earnestly and feel.
ingly in defence of the principles of free
government" We are reminded OF the
pathetic lament Of Madame Roland over
the Grimes that ore perpetrated in the
name Of liberty, or of the Devil quoting
Scripture. And President Grant, it is
telegraphed, thought Carpenters rehash
of Union articles was clear and conclu-
.sive> answer to the memorialistsi But
ibis NO do not like to credit. If true in
Seed. then General Gary is chargeable,
not oply for spelling the Presidents
temper and seriously ruflling his man
'aiers, but for an obfuscatioa OF his in
telleot, such as has not como over it
since his public political speeches dur.
ing the last Presidential canvass. How
this may be, and whatever else leroga-
tory may be said, Of it, the Gauss which
shis committee upholds is at least equal
80 its advocates, and in their relations to
each other, they represent the eternal
fitness of things.

GOOD FEIDAY.-Somo people object
to newspaper suspension on Good Fri

moral: "When Lord Mansfield, who
had Kept his court open on Ash Wednei-
day, much to the disgnst Of strict
churchmcn, expressed his determine.
, tloa TO do the same thing OF Good Fri
day, an Old sergeant.at law rose md

thing since his !uriiship's iIiua;,ions pre-,

Tie struggle before Dihoa has de-
veloped nothing new, except that n
radical revolt has taken place in that
town, and that the new crop Of iusur-
gents, under Cen Sautcs, are to march
upon Madrid to cut S.rrano's s cummuni-
cations. we can scarcely regard this ns
very alarming development, for the
Spaniards can carry on any number OF
civil Wars at a time, and yet nobody
ever seems to be very seriously Injured.
Though tbs Shah is lost 10 the sight
OF his late English entertainers, he is to

Shah as Knight OF the Garter, Gi39;
for expenses incurred ut the reception
of the Shah at Dover, .el5l; for the cx-
pense of the review at Windsor in honor

An Appointment to be Approved.

~
1t is announced that Governor Moses
has appointed Judge Glover Treasurer
of ofOrsngeburg County, in place of Hum
bert, removed. Humbert was lately
arrested as defaulter in large amount,
and is said to have had no claims in his
character, knowledge or experience for
so important post. It is not to be
wondered at when such persons are
placed in responsible positions. that
they follow their instincts, and make
them tributary to their own emolument
: in the most direct way they can. Public
money in the hands of such people is
!, apt to stick. This is plain enough to all
. who cnn think, or one capable OF judging
an the most obvious matters. Had the
policy OF appointing reputable persons
aeen observed, We should not have to
complain over defaloations and frauds
. among the County Treasurers to the
amount OF 100000. The Office would
], not have been perverted to wicked pri-
vate and political uses. The power of
appointment to it in the hands OF the
Governor has converted it, in many in
stances, into an active political machine.
The nomination OF such q man as Judge
Glover indicates that change has come
over the spirit of the Governor. Ho
has gone to the utmost extreme in the
wrong direction. The signs OF the
times admonish him. that it is now ne
cessary to tack. Whatever his motives,
the appointment is one of the best tha:
could be made. Judge Glover has filled
various puldio stations with good ability
and fine discretion. he wore the Judi
cial ermine with distinction, and when
he resigned it, it was as pure and un
sullied as when he donned it. His pri
vaie character is as irreproachable as LII:
public services have been useful ant
honorable. The position now Offered
him is below Judge Glover, but We trns
that he will accept it. 1t would he mat
ter Of congratulation if the exampl.
should extend to all the Counties in til,
State. 1t would be an earnest Of
change that wo could respect. and frou
which we might hope excellent results.
