4 Michigan Opinion Of Mr.. Ch"nd'
icr's Appointment.

From the Detroit L rec lItSs'
While no special exception can be
taken to Mr.. Chandler on the score eth
cr of capacity or personal honesty, there
ARE some grounds on which his appoint
m,nt would be Vulnerable. Mr. Chand-
Ter. rs much as any other man IN the
couatry. has been responsible for the
iuternc1ling OF Federal Office holders
in State politics. Federal officials in
Michigan were his personal servltorS.
His appointment in view of his antcce-
dents. might therefore be fairly taken
rs an indication that the administration
instead of rigidly adhering to the polloy
of non-interfcrancc in State affairs had
determined to exercise as much influence
in shaping and controlling affairs ~ 1t
possibly can; that the immense patron
AGE of the government will be welded
next wear in the interest of some pollt-
zeal sspirant. This is matter, however,
which interests Republicans more than
Democrats. Democrats in the Preslden-
t,al campaign of 1876, will have to face
the whole Office holding power OF the
government in any event. IL Is OF less
moment to them for whom it Is exert-d
m the election than it is for KepuOll-
cans for whom it is used in the noml-
nating convention. In any scheme for
controlling conventions by the office
holding power, President Grant would
have an able and sympathi~ins ally IN
Mr.. Chandler. The latter's experience
as chairman Of the Republican commute
would be of much value to him in the
work.
Again, Mr.. Chandler has been one
of tho most liberal Republicans in the
country in his views with regard to
Southeran policy. Except by men OF
the most extreme Republican partisan
ship. he would scarcely have been Goa
sidcred as n trustworthy adviser OF the
President. In this particular place
in the cabinet would not be congenial
to him. Pierrepont, Jewell and Brstow
are far from holding the same views as
did Williams. Creswcll and Boutwell,
and those of the latter harmonized ad,
mirably with Mr.. Chandeliers. The ques.
ton of introducing Il possible DISTURBING
element into the cabinet is one which at
present more directly concerns the
President and the members OF the cabinet
than any one else. II the President
thinks he can pay the price of dis"otd
in the cabinet to secure Mr.. Chandler IN
the Interior department, his right to pay
it is uuquestionablei though tits certain
" an unusal step, even for Grant to
select as the recipient Of public favor
man who has ceased to command the
snpot his party in his own State.

IT'S THE EASHI0I

Certainly an advanced step has been
taken by the American courts, now that
there is some reasonable hope of con-
rIciing great rAscais. 1t seems TO have
been the fashion until within a few
wears 10 convict and damn q thief who
had stolen few dollars, but allow q
man who bad sailed down his millions
30 take all means IN his power 10 keep
The officers Of the law from bringing
him to justice. Yes, an advanced step
has been taken, SO that the Tweeds and
1oyces and McDonalds are brought up
with short turn, and are convicted in
the courts. Bat that seems to be about
the only punishment in reserve for them
The conviction is coed so far as it goes
Bat If that is the end Of it, what is
gained. A man who has stolen his mil.
lions is little affected that the ordinary
run OF honest people think him dishon
ezt. Those millions are healing balm
ON that lacerated conscience. We may
be almost pardoncd in saying that the
present fashion quite popular one, too,
is TO steal and be convicted and run the
risk of punishment. If a governors
pardon is not handy to be obtained the
next step is to bribc the sheriff. To ran
TO Canada or Europe is easy enough TO
escape the assumed Indignation OF
"honest O courts and officials"
VIM. VI. Tweed the boss rascal Of mod
ern times, found il very Convenient the
other day to visit bis wife. OF course b,
was accompanied by an armed body oi
honest officials, who proposed that this
pcnitentiary bird should not be gwen any
opportunity to escape. In fact they were
tokeep the same surveillance over him az
if he had only stolen couple hun
drcd dollars, instead of several millions.
This was all right. He went TO hls
residence in company with tho armed
officials as aforesaid. After little chat
with his lady it occurred TO him that be
had something TO say in private TO her
and significd to the Officials his desire to
converse with the dear companion Of his
bosom in another story of the house.
TO his very reasonable request tic Off
GERS, of course, very courtcously assent
cd, and he was allowed TO 20 To room
where the privacy he desired might be
secured. Time passed and it occurred
TO the generous officers that Mr. Tweed
should make bis appearance, and
young Tweed son of the good old gen.
tleman, was sent on an exploring eXpc-
dition to ascertain if Mr.. Tweed might
have finished his private conversation
and be in readiness TO return. Young
Tweed soon returned and Informed the
officers that his father had disappeared.
OF course il was the duty of the Oblig-
ing officers 10 make thorough search
for the missing mar, which they did. TO
this day not trace of Mr.. Tweed has
been discovered.

He discusses our foreign relations in

the imposition practiccd upon the Gov

Upon The question of specie resump.

his words:

NAY HAPPEN.

At recent meeting Ct the Mcthodists
held in Boston, some two hundred min
listers being present, Bishop Haven urged
the denomination Of Gen. Grant for
President. His views were adopted by
II unanimous vote. People begin to
speak out on this question. One
thing certain is that there will be very
largo following for Grant, if some man
is not brought into the race who is not
only very popular with the people bat
is determined to pursue the popular and
progressive policy adhered to by Grant.
We do not believe it is the present in
tcntion Of Grant to be candidate for the
third term bat it the people with a.
most unanimous voice call upon him To
serve again, can he refuse? Such an
event may not happen. But such men
as Blaine, Conkling and men Of that
stamp can not possibly be preferred to
Grant.
