idle politicians, it is part Of vast plan. IL
moves on to its purpose 1t assumes every
day newer and a graver shape. In the light
of this exposure Of these lodges, grips and
oaths, we now see the meaning of the Cesar
ism agitation, OF those violations of the con-
stitution which were pardoned to the Presi-
dent because of inexperience, of the
growth of the military power around
the White House, of the steady cor
ruption of the public service, Of the
robbing of the Treasury for partisan and
political ends, of the debasement of the
Senate and the ostracism Of leading republi-
cans 1t is all plain and clear. 1t is our
duty as citizens to strike it down as treason
to the Republic, believing, as we do, that
when secret societies are necessary to ''pro-
tect" our liberty or religion, neither Of them
are worth saving

OVERRIDING THE INVESTIGATION BUSINESS. =
The democrats in Congress are in danger of
turning their proposed investigations into
derision by frivolity, fussiness and the reck-
less exhibition Of party animosity. The World
printed yesterday long catalogue of fifty
subjects, each of which was said to require a
committee Of Congress to look into it and
drag hidden iniquity to light The speci-
men we insert will serve to show with how
little consideration such inquiries are pro-
posed
o. The fraudulent In valuation the French
franc and consequent robbery OF merchants put up by
Fish's son in law and Hartlcy's son.
The World must be more cautious, or it
will get into hot water with some of its best
friends. Does it really think that all the
persons indicated in this charge need to
have committee of Congress set upon their
tracks?
The New York herald., 1875-12-23
A Bad Excuse.

We learn from the weird and beauti.
full Washington correspondence of the
World that there is some feeling among Ye-
publicans in reference to the appointments
made by the democrats. The correspondent
explains that The republicans have no right
to show any feeling, because the democrats
are doing now what the republicans did when
they were in power The republicans re-
moved men, without regard to their merit, to
find places for political followers and strikers
and therefore they have no right to criticise
democrats for doing the same thing. We
regret this, for we dislike to differ
from the World correspondent but the
democrats were not sent to Washington
to do what the republicans did, but to re
form affairs. " OF course we know the re-
publicans were all thieves or in some ring
or other that they stifed civil service; that
they did all manner of improper things and
we know it was because of this that the
country turned them out and put democrats
in their places. What we expect from the
democrats is civil service in its truest sense,
purity of administration and bringing the
government back to what it was under the
fathers. These men were sent to Washing
ton to do what Jefferson and Adams and
Washington did-to work with On eye single
for the good of the country. 1t is no excuse
and no apology for their shortcomings that
they are following the example of the repub-
licans.

THE MARTHA WASHINGTON REcEPTIoN.-An

Washington reception" complete success it

Nilsson Hall and Irving Hall. The objects

OLD KENTUCKY Y-Kentucky is noble old
Commonwealth, remarkable for the genius
and courage OF her sons. The annals of the
Legislature show no prouder record than
that Of Clay and Crittenden and their com
peers but Kentucky never had as proud
day as the present, when she sees four ex-
members of Congress, men whom she
once honored as her Representatives, drawing
pay as humble servants Of the House. The
State which remembers that she was served
by Crittenden and Clay must rejoice that the
successors Of these great statesmen are
wheeling documents into the folding room
and keeping calendars or scratching around
the Clerks desk, modestly earning their
pittance
The New York herald., 1875-12-23

SAVINGS BANKs.-The deeper the inquiry
goes into the affairs of the Third Avenue
Savings Bank the more stands out the out
rageous manner in which the deposits were
handled. The most barefaced gambling ap-
pears to have been carried on under the pro-
visions of a special law, obtained, doubtless,
in some underhanded way. All kinds of
reckless expenditures were made, and the
new receiver now states that the bank ac-
count should have shown q deficit for the
past eleven years With mismanagement of
this kind by the bank officers and the most
careless possible system of State control,
the depositors who trusted to the statements
of the one and the Endorsements of the
other were absolutely without protection.
We hope the Legislature will make the laws
concerning State supervision more rigid, and
attach proper penalties to what is punished
in other cases of breach of public trust as
criminal malfeasance or embezzlement

AS throwing little light on this sudden de-
sire of the patriotic Spaniards to serve their

in our war times as Prerequisites" are not
expected to be as numerous under Jovellar as
they have been under the outgoing Captain
