TAP EOOT or CORRUPTION.

We shall do well not to lose sight of the
most prolific source of corruption while we
are discussing measures OF political purifica-
ton. II is true enough, rs Mr. Frank w. Bird
said in his letter to The TRIBUNE, published
on Monday, that "the great need OF the
Country is refOrm-nOt financial reform solely
cor mainly, but reform in all the departments
"of government, from the White House to the
" tide-waiter." And it is likewise truth now
pretty generally accepted, that "rciorm can
only be accomplished by change-change in
"the White HOuse-change wherever Execu-
Z" tive subordinates or Federal Office hOlders of
amy grade give to party what was meant for
" country" Mr.. Birds vigorous preScntmcnt of
the need of reform and Of the change essential
to reform will be very generally approved by
all good citizens who are not so welded to
party as to be unable to judge political qucs
tions fairly. But he thinks, and we have OBJ
served that several very influential Democratic
newspapers agree with him in the opinion, that
the question of honest currency is so little re-
lated to this matter of TOOt-and branch re-
" form in the public service" and is of such
secondary consequence III the comparison, that
We may safely-nay, that We must absolutely
postpone its consideration till we have effected
the change which must precede reform, and Sc
cured the reform which will follOw-ah, there s
the rub-is it so sure to follow .-the change.
The importance of the currency question is
not denied, but it is asserted 1--WE quote The
Boston Post, the leading Democratic journal in
-England,) that 1T can never be decided,
cor even debated, effectively, until the vast
"wcb of corruption, fraud, and thievcry that
"entanges the Government and rObs and
"pauperizes the people is torn asunder by the
determination of the citizens of the entire
Country" Very well, let us look at this
statement with little care. The thing to be
gained in overlooking the position of the Ohio
Democrats upon the subject of finance is the
defeat of the Republicans, and the success of
a party which promises-nind you, promises-to
effect all the great reforms we so much need.
There have been promises before. All parties
issue tbemj very few ever redeem
them. The promises of party platforms,
the pledges of candidates and the prOtesta-
tions of the stump are proverbially. if not
" glittering," at least vague aud meaningless

tn dazzle India, and restore her 10
her much impaired loyalty. AS soon a. this
motive is fairly set before them, too, the En-
glish are shrewd enough to question the prob
able success of the remedy. The amount OF
eco. 900 il miserably small, if considered as a
price to buy back the allegiance of the native
princes Some of the great Indian feudatOrles
have already set aside half that sum for the
decorations and display with which they intend
to welcome their future King; while 1t VIII
not, when divided, amount to more than
$500 apiece. The discussions in Parliament
on the giving of this sum, the churlsh alIu-
sions to themselves, the expectation openly
expressed that the money would be repaid by
presents from them to the princely visitor, the
calculations as to what should be done with
these prcsents-whether they should Ike sold to
reimburse the treasury or go to swell the
"already gorged pockets of the royal family"
all this and much more of like nature has
been before now republshed' in the Indian
papers and read by the native princes.
The English press find their chief difficulty,
however, in the doubt whether the Prince Will
personally produce the desired effect The
causes of the disalectiOn of the Indian provinces
are openly discussed Stories of the long-con
tinued inbumanity and injustice of English rulers
are brought to light and especially the habit OF
tyranny and insult which even the manner OF
the English underling expresses when address
ing natives of the highest rank. The most
ignorant American STAKEHOLDER did not speak
to his field hands with more arrogant con-
tempt than young English cub, the un-
trained scion of some wealthy house.
will use to q man whose gencalogy runs
back through princes for Thousand years, and
who in learning and thorough breeding Is the
equal Of the first of Englislimcn. Doubts are
expressed whether, should even the Prince
himself prove deccntly courteous to Indian
gentlemen, the young men who accompany HIM
will be so. Whatever good or i'll results may
follow the experiment of the Royal progress,
thc result must be beneficial if it awakens the
English nation to knowledge of the facts of
the case,

The fall in Turkish securities in London is
natural in view of the insurrection in Bosnia
and the disordered state of the Ottoman
finances. Lately the Grand Nizier instructed
the Governors General of the Empire to try
their hand at financial and civil service reform,
but it is not expected that his request will be
needed or that any radical remedy for the
large deficit i'm the revenue will be found.

1t must he admitted that Jefferson Davis has
come to the relief of the WinnebagO Agricul-
tural Society promptly and gracefully. His
letter withdrawing his acceptance of the invi-
tation to deliver an address at the approaching
county fair is marked by thoughtful courtesy
and judicOus avoidance of the real reason
for the change of programme. Mr.. Davis gives
some idea of what he would have said had he
delivered the proposed address, and surprises
us with the incidental statement that the Win
ncbago invitation was one of several of similar
purport received by him from Illinois agricul-
tural associations. 1t is pleasanter for all con-
ccrned that we should have this letter instead
of an address from the President of the late
Confederacy.

The news of the sudden outbreak of hOstili-
ties between the Whites and Blacks in certain
counties of Georgia is not accompanied by any
satisfactory explanation of the cause of such
a state of affairs. 1t is alleged that evidence
has been found of a conspiracy on the part of
the negroes in Washington, Jefferson, johnson,
and Burke Counties TO make war on the
whites, and that the descent upon the latter
was to he made by organized companies
on this Friday night, pursuant to orders from
a certain coored militia General who lives in
South Carolina. The whites. excited by the
discovery, appealed to the Governor for pro-
lection, and the wholesale arrests of Wednes
day and Thursday seem to have been made
with a view to ayerting the threatened nSur-
rectiOn. In the excitement fOstered by ap-
prehensiOn both sides are armiDg and taking the
field, so that any rash man may bring on IA con-
hict involving bloOdshed and loss OF life. The
only hopeful features of the situation are found
in the fact that the Governor seems to have
his wits about him and that leading citizens
in the disturbed section are cOunseling calm
ness, moderation, and recourse TO legal methods
of suppressng violence. OF all the Southern
States we should suppose that Georgia would
he the least likely to be the scene of the long
talked of war of races The white people have
shown a conservative disposition the colored
people have been industrious and orderly; and
the good feeling between the races has been
such that for several years there has been in
that State no division of parties on the color
line

Prof. Janneys last letter from the Black
Hills is in accord with his previous reports,
and has in the main been anticipated by our
special correspondence. There are new details,
however, which will repay perusal. The Pro-
fessors conclusion is that gold is literally dis
tributed throughout the region of his explOra-
tons, but that it can be obtained i'll paying
quantities only by considerable expenditure
of labor and capital. He thinks there is gold
enough to develop the country, and that
" tock-rasing and agriculture will do the
crest" All accounts agree in describing the
Black Hills as country of luxuriant vegeta-
ton in Summer, but the Winter temperature,
of which we have not yet had satisfactory
report, is to be taken into careful cOnsidera-
ton in determining what agricultural products
are best suited to the soil.

A Luxurious Sieeping-Car.

a new STYLE Of s'eeping-car-the Mann
boWloir-has been introduced with sue
cess in Great Britain. The carriage. in
stead of consisting of one grand saloon
like the Pullman C r., IS divided into
snail cOmpartmentS-a design which Col.
Mann probably thinks will appeal to the
EnyIIshman'S love OF SecluSiOn. The
boudOirS are fitted up for either four or
two individuals, the sleeping bcrthS, like
those Of a saloon Sreaner, being placed
one over another. The steps by which
the upper sleeper mounts to his couch
serve in the daytime rs a handy little t.
bic, At which the passenger can write COM
tortab!y, and the lower berths make adj
beG-making by the most simple and in
genious of processes can be performed in
a couple of minutes. When the passenger
is tired of his well-carpeted and uphol-
stored private rOem, he may stroll up and
down the corridors, in which there is a
reIreshment bar and %lavatories. Electric
bells are at the disposal of each passenger,
whose special duty it is to wait upon the
occupants of the ears. The beds, it should
be mentioned, are placed across the car
riage. an arrangement that prevents roll
ing. This together with the smallness
and privacy of the compartments, consti-
tutes the chief speciality of the Mann as
distinct from other ~Sleeping-rars.

stamp, which is printed in blue and bears
the likeness of President Zach. Taylor,

except France, to which country the new
rate does not apply until January !, 1876.
