GENERAL GooD's communication
in tho afternoon paper Of Tuesday,
il really 80 absurd that it is difficult
TO treat il seriously,
The General is not likely TO have
his injunction, not to call his name,
violated, until no makes himself alb
snrd again. But os he seems to
have genius for that sort of thing
we doubt if he can keep his dislin'
guished namo out Of print.

In addition to this, he has brought
civil suit against them for tho dill'cr-

millions Of dollars for this years

straw bids and the amount the de-

Should Mr.. Jewell succeed in
breaking up this fraudulent straw

TRACTS
1t is 80 seldom that the men con
nected with Grants administration
do anything deserving praise that
when an opportunity does occur, it
shonld DO made the most OF. Secrc.
tary Brisiow has, from his first en-,
trance into Office, used all the pow
er the law gives him to ferret out
and punish the mon, in and out Of
office, for violations of tho law and
corruption in office. Recently he
caused II genuine panic in the whis-
Ky ring, in connection with cxten.
sive frauds in st. Louis, in which
his Chief Clerk, Avery, was found
to be implicated, and is now in
prison in st. Louis, having failed to
furnish bail.
And now, Postmaster General
Jewell il coming to tho front rs n
rolormer of abuses and frauds, in his
department.. As is we'll known to
all connected with postal affairs,
there are SGT Of lobby bnmmers
about Washington, who make q liv-
ing by various devices, the most in
noeent Of which are not f,lonies,
merely because tho ingenuity of
these cheriiierS d mdaSty ie has ont
run the Imagination of tho law
makers. yg
One Of the most profitable ofthese
devices to rob tho treasury is the
STRAW bid" dodge. The ring, en-.
gagged in this business, embraces
first, tho straw bidders; second the
party with means, generally old
mail contractors; third, tho clerks
in the mail contract office. The
men Of Straw put in their bids ut n
very low figure, the old contractor
puts in his at q very high one, and
the corrupt clerk renders important
services in the way Of giving infor-
nation in regard to rival bids, etc.
When the bids are opened and com.
pared, tho award, to the lowest bid.
der, of course, follows. But when
tho time comes to give bond for the
performance Of the contract, the
gentleman of straw not being forth.
coming with his surcties, the next
highest bidder is called up to come
forward. He, in like manner, can
not be found; or if found offers noto-
riously insufficient security. And
thus in turn each Of these bogus
bidders arc ruled out, as was in
tended they should be, until it comes
down, or rather up, TO the, old mail |
contractor, who is awarded tho con. |
tract at his own figures. In this
way the government Is annually
swindlcd ont of hundreds of
thousands OF dollars, and there
seemed no way of prevent
ing II, until the last Congress
passed law, under which, straw.
bidders and their confederates can
30 prosecuted for misdemeanor, and
{ found guilty, fined and imprison-
I'd. The Postmaster General no.
emily sent the names ola number
i these falling contractors to the
Attorney General for prosecution.

THE NEJy-UiVPSHJRE DIFTTCTLTY.

II is unfortunate that the action of the Judges
OF the Superior Court of New-llampshIe on
the question submitted TO them respecting the
organization of the Senate leaXes the original
dispute lust where il was before. The point
NJ issue was whether the Governor and COun-
ell were authorized or required to go behind
the credentials of the Senators elect and revise
the decision OF the local canvassors This
point the Judges refuse to determine They
hold that the action of the Governor and Council
being completed, their opinion upon 1t would
be merely the criticism OF one branch of the
government upon coordinate branch, and it
would have no force in law. But whether the
Governor was right wrong Ill the first i'll
stance, they agree that the case as to the COM
position of the Senate is clear now. Mcssrs.
Priest and Proctor, the two members whose
seats are in Dispute, were summoned by the
proper constitutional authority to assemble
with the other Senators and take the oath of
office. If they were not lawfully elected or
returned. it was the privilege and duty of the
Senate to reject them, as the final judge of the
qualifications and returns of its own members.
d" II appearing that the Senate had passed upon
their qualifications and pronounced them
"duly elected and qualified, their action be-
"camc final, and there could be no appeal"
This opinion seems to be, like that which the
Judges refused to give, review by one branch
of the government OF the action OF CO.
ordinate branch but it is doubtless sound law,
and 10 good can come of qIarreling with it.
There must be cases under all constitutional
governments where the law affords no remedy
for the most palpabe wrongs. If the final
authority declares candidate elected who was
VIGOROUSLY not elected, the people must either
acquiesce in the outrage or resort to revolution.

PENNSYLC1NI1 DTSSI TISFIED.

If Senator Cameron is correctly reported we
may give President Grant the credit for having
done at least one thing in the course OF his
civil administration for which he deserves
almost as much praise as for any OF
the acts which distinguished his mill
tary career. The Senator is reported to he in
such an unfriendly mood toward the President
Oh account of his treatment Of Pennsylvania
in the matter of patronage, that he openly
threatens TO ask no more political favors OF the
Administration for the Republicans OF his State.
He is even reported as saying that no Penn
sylyanian could nov accept Cabinet position,
if il were rendered him, without sacrificing
his sclf-rcspect.
There are two things about this report that
seem Incredible First, that Senator Cameron
should threaten not to ask any more political
favors, and second, that Il polltician-even "a
PENNSYLVANIA pOlitician-shoud refuse to accept
an Office because he thinks hi, State ha. not been
fairly treated in the distribution of patronage.
And vet if il were true, we doubt very much
if the public would consider it so much a
calamity as the Senator seems to think. The
venerable Pennsylvania has mingled much i'll
politics for many years. First and last he has
obtained for his constituents great many ollces.
II has rot been his fault il the State has
been neglected. We might say, indeed, with
ont much exaggcration, that il is not his fault
flat all The Offices are moi filed by Pennsylva-
mans of his selection. Perhaps it is not the
fault either of his constituents. There GER
tan,y has never been any lack OF can
didatcs from that State for any and all
vacancies. Nor has thcie ever been
any lack of them in the Departments or
in any branch of the Civil Service nOtwith-
standing which, we believe we do not over
state the effect upon the country of Senator
Camerons announcement when we say that it
will not be regarded ~ the threat of Il great
public calamity.
We do not conjecture what may have been
the motives of President Grant in ignoring
the claim Of Pennsylvania TO official patronage.
Whatever they were, we congratulate him and
the country upon the results OF such neglect.
if by this or any other means the Intriguing
politicians of PENNSYLVANIA or any other State
have been made to understand that the
claims OF Il State for public patronage are not
to bc recognized on account of is importance
TO the party or the importance OF its leading
politicians, then we have gained some
thing in the direction of Civil Service Reform.
Perhaps not much; and perhaps the claims
of States have been sighted III order TO give
the preference TO personal friends, which it
must be confessed would not be IA very great
stride toward reform; but if the old
mschievous and pernicous practice of
apportioning the offices among tho States after
an election as the spells and plumber of a
camp are divided after successful battlc-if
this practice has received blow, we cor
daily thank the President who administered it.

There is more than one stricken deer in this
tragedy which has so filed mems minds; and
the inevitable impression which We receive is,
that the herd was too large and miscellaneous.
As we consider it, we are reminded of CicerO's
words in his Conference Concerning Friend
shin: "Most people choose their friends as
"they do their cattle, only for those qualities
"by which they expect to he the greatest
gamers A pushing and selfish man goes
ND and down like recruiting officer
enlisting troops, alike il nothing except that
they are all to fight under his cOlors, and,
maybe, share with him in the loot of the cam
paign. 1t is all mere alliance, and has a full
some SAVIOR of trade and bargain. There may be
intimate acquaintance, conversation, association
many meals devoured together, and even much
money mutually lent frequent meetings, and no
meeting without an Interchange of con-
fdcnces an unceasing correspondence, enrich
ing the stationcr, and wcarying the pOstman I;
in n few words, there may be the forms and
modes and shows of friendship, with only mere
acquaintance ut the bottom. Great hearts
never submit to be more than halved; who
ever divides his into mOrsels, and gives every
chance conner a bit, bestOws what is of little
value, and will get little in return, not alto
cether out of the others ingratitude, but also
by reason of his own shallow incapacity. An
other proverb has it that confidence is a plant
of slow growth !" and Of this only friendship

know each other by handgrasp, or one touch

love We may surrender at first sight; but

and Justly, that tho real object of charity
ia not reached BY this use OF middle
men. The money buys coal and bread as
well in one case as the other, but the kindly
feeling, the sympathy, is lacking on both sides.
The giver buttons up his pocket with the
same sense of duty performed as il he had
paid his butchers bill. He does not see, nor
care to see, his needy brother whom ne mas
relieved. His heart is not quickened or lifted
to warmer human feeling OF to fresh acts Oh
charity, while the recipient OF aid through
society usually takes it as right with very
small show of gratitude. He II not so much
to blame af or all it would be hard work LOT
any of us to call up ardent affection for cor
poration. There is still another class who VIII
not make societies of any sort their almOherS
because they have heard doubts of the man
"agement,r or "becauise associated charity Is
"machine work." ETC., etc, and as they shave
"nO time to inquire into cases OF charity"
they give nothing at all.
We would suggest that in the present in
stance there is no excuse for anybody 10 hoid
his hand Let those who have tried the Chill
dren's Aid Society and proved it to be trust
worthy agent extend again to it the help 1t
asks, while nothing can be easier than for
those who put no faith in any agents to add
minister this particular charity themselves. 1t
will require few minutes exploration OF the
nearest tenement house, or visit to the near
est square in the early morning to find
half dozen pallid, half-starved babies;
and close by the seaside hotel or cOun-
try-house to which their own chill
dren are going there are sure to be fisher
mems cottages or small farm-houses where
these little creatures and their mothers will
be gladly welcomed and cared for at small
cost. No swecter or higher lesson of charity
could be taught children who have been more
fortunate in worldly goods, than the sight of
the little suffering brother whom they were
helping to cure.
The whole plan is SO simple and common
place and easy, that to urge il is to talk plati-
tudcs. But if it be simple and easy, why is it
not carried into execution
As long as it is not, we must offer the aid OF
societies as the next best expedient.

CHILDREN'S AID SUMNER HOME.

Subscriptions have been opened 10y the Chill
drcns Aid Society to enable them to provide
a Summer home for children. Ii is stated
that last year 1900 children were granted
this pleasure by the Society at an expense
of less than $4,000. The Home this year is to
bcplaced on the seaside at Long Island. Contri-
buttons for this purpose may be sent to the
Office of the Childrens Aid Society. No. 10

We have urged this especial charity so fire.
qucntly upon our readers that we need only
point out now the manner in which they can
SO readily carry it into execution. The ma
jOrity of wealthy people disposed to bcnevo-
lence prefer to reach the poor through associa-
tions, as they are thus saved the trouble and
discomfort of personal contact with rain and
want. There are many, however, who believe,
