election. MIR. Piatt is q Western man, Of lit

many rich gems to our literature, and has jus
completed the editing OF The late George ID
Prentice's poems. IL is creditabe to onr in
situations that men so competent are giyei

the displacement of a man so well qualified"

ALL accounts from Washington show
that the species of the genus homo called
democrat, is as greedy for office as ever
Republicans were. The average politi-
clan is everywhere about the same. The
great trouble in the case is that there are
about ten thousand worthy politicians to
one unworthy office. That little dispro-
portion causes some crowding.

BISHOP HAVEN, who was, as we had
supposed, the inaocent and unintention-
al cause OF throwing the third.term baby
into fits, has written letter to the New
York Tribune utterly denying the Ian
guage and emotions OF zeal attributed to
him by the unveracious reports trans
mitted to the public press. The reporters.
who are nothing if not sensational, had
put into the Bishops mouth an oration
Of ''two hours" continuance; and then,
as the Item tells the story:
"The speaker raised himself upon his feet as
II to look all around about and above the vast
audience before him." aud in "loud stentorian
tones" made the dreadful announcement, 81
herewith IN, Id the name OF the American people
and true Christianity, nominate Ulysses S.
Grant. our present worthy President, to O third
te m in the oIice Of President OF the United
SJates."
Concerning this beautifully written
account of what never happened, Bishop
Haven says:
"rhis is so far from the truth that were not
the face Of The Tribune SO painfully solemn
over 1T one could hardly refrain from Laughter.
More laughable still is the reported action of
the meeting. Nearly every voice (sad the
Item) in that vast audlence Of profound schol :
ars and venerable ministers replied, as if with
one b, cath, al second The l1omination."'
"Need tell you that this is as complete a
fancy sketch rs any garret pencil artist ever
drew? The manner OF the speaker and the
conduct of his hearers could not have been
more untruly put"
What the Bishop did actually say was
this:-When speaking of the progress Of
ideas in the South, and more especially
among the colored people, he said--"If
we throw over our present ruler, who
has saved us once, we shall rue its
Pray, brethren, tor the denomination oil
President Grant" And that was all.

ONE of the most pitiful sights seen
about Washington, where such sights
abound, is to witness the begging and
whining made by venerable ex-members
Of Congress for appointment to be a
clerk, a page, a doorkeeper, messen-
ger, anything however humble or pitia-
BILE, in the service Of the House where
they had once voted as members. This
can proceed from nothing but an insane
love for office, whose comforts once
tasted never entirely leave the official
palate. 1t can not be for mere gain; be.
cause any kind OF business we'll con.
Quoted would yield more income with
much less expense. Yet there are
throngs OF men there begging for these
little crumbs that fall from the political
table, who write "Hon." and "Gen." and
"Col." as pretixes to their names. If it
were not pitiful it would be disgraceful.

THE CONNECTICUT CAMPAIGN.

Judging from the manner in which the
Administration managers rushed OFT their
Congressional orators to New-llampshlre
Immediately on the adjournment of Congress,
and have followed it up by putting them
into Connecticut for lively and active three
weeks campaign there, the two Spring cleo
tions in the New-E England close States are
held by those gentlemen to have some sig
nifcarce for 1876. AS a matter of fact, the
New Hampshire and Connecticut elections are
but the closing up of the elections to the
XLIVth Congress: the last of the line oil
States TO choose representatives to that body.
Whatever the result in these States, 1T cannot
change the complexion OF Congress. New
HAMPSHIRE only added one to the Democratic
and Liberal majority at her election last
week, and there is not tho remotest posi-
bilitv that Connecticut will strengthen the
Administration or weaken the opposition
IN the April election. 1t was not then with
any hope of effecting change in the next
Congress that this effort was made in New
HAMPSHIRE and is to be continued and in
creased in Connecticut. The next Congress is
hopelessly lost. The Spring elections are but
the turning back of q sullenly retreating army
in the hope of shifting the enemy in his adj
vance and securing for the next political con-
test good position, and at least the prestige
of having made q stand against odds.
1t is to be noted that the canvass in Con-
nectcut relates more to National than State
politics; that the Republican party has COM
mittcd itself fairly and squarely to the sup
port of President Grant and his Admins
tratlon, not merely in general terms
and the unmeanng glitter of the ordi-
nary resolutions of approval, but spe-
officially and plainly to unqualified indorse-
ment of the particular line of policy
which has been most questioned and criticised
In New Hampshire the Republicans were very
much strengthened by the bold position of
their Convention against the third term busi-
ness, while the Opposition was weakened by
the fact that it had been year In power and
exhibited in the exercise of that power such
amazing partisan blindness and unmitigated
stupidity as TO astonish and disgust its best
friends. The contest there hinged more upon
local than national Questions. In Connecticut
there seems to be no serious complaint of the
manner in which the Democrats administered
the State Government last year, although their
legislative action was in several cases quito
open 10 criticism. and the party was guilty

THE Speculation IN GOLD.

In referring again to the state of the gold
market, our purpose is to point out one of the
main evils of our present incOnvertible and
deprecated paper money. The other day we
quoted from one of the best writers on the
subject of currency-Mr Tooke-an opinion
that to attempt to maintain convertible cur
rency Oh slender basis of specie was an I'M
dertaking which involved variations in the rate
of interest ranging from two or three up to forty
or fifty per cent If any of our readers have
been in the habit Of closely observing the
gold market they must often have been struck
with astonishmeDt at the immense business
which is daily transacted In this city on O

One of the best results of the law is that bar
keepers at the South and possibly elsewhere, charge
oolored drinkers S. drink for brandy, 81 for
90 of gin SO for smile of ordinary whisky, and
50 so for glass of beer. 1t is matter of regret
that these prices cannot be established without
gard to complexion; and such we suppose would be
the opinion of Mr.. Wendell Phillips himself. We
can hardly tell whether that gentleman will con-
slider it gross cruelty to deprive the colored cit-
zen OF his liquid refreshmentpossibly he will elo-
quently set it down an outrage in the abstract,
though otherwise benefaction. For cur own part,
when we hear of a man, black or white, who is
likely to be injured by drinking, refused rsd-hot
ice-cold refreshment at any price, we are not in
clined to regard him martyr. There is no class
upon which intemperance is likely to work worse
injury than that Of the Freedman not to insist upon
the injury which his sottishness may bring
TO others Whether it is worth while to
inculcate by law a passion in the dark bosom
for the drama. we shall not here try to
determine. Upon the other point Of being shaved
where white men operated upon 1t is necessary
to say only that there is no law compelling white
men to DO hair-dressed in any particular shop nor

gross has fit to try big experiment in tho mat
ter Of manners and customs. 1t may succeed, but

SETTLING.

One by one the Force bill patriots who have
been requested by the people not to so to
Congress any more, are stepping up to the
captains Office and getting their pay Mr..
Isaac C.. Parker of Missouri, who voted for
the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus
and other extraordinary and violent measures
because tho President desired them; who
voted for the overthrow of the State Govern
ment of Arkansas and the recognition of
Brooks in defiance of all law and decency be-
cause Mr.. Shepherd so advised and who
finally has not been reelected, receives from
President Grant the Chief-J usticeship Of Utah
as q reward for his services and a solace for
his losses. The President is going resolutely
through the list and giving them all some
thing.
The removal of Judge Mexican is such an
unexpected boon that the Senate may perhaps
be indsposed to criticise the qualifications of
his successor, but we beg that assembly of
statesmen to remember that the judicial de-
partment Of tho Utah Government is in a sad
state, and very good lawyer is needed to
straighten things out. OF the abilities of Mr.
Parker we do not pretend to BIO competent to
sneak positively lie was elected to judge
ship in st. Joseph six or seven years ago. but
he resigned it after less than two years. ser
vice to go into politics, and his profession
since then has been that of Congressman
Apart from the question OF experience. how
ever, we can safely say that Mr.. Parker's
treatment of the Arkansas matter and the
Force bill demonstrated his unitness for q
high judicial position, for 1t showed him to
lack either knowledge or independence.
