q gentleman OF purity and probity against
whom no word OF reproach can be uttered.
Against Starkweather the Democrats and Lib
eral Republicans have nominated the Hon.
La Fayette s. Foster, who was United States
Senator for twelve years, from 1855 to lSS7'
and Acting Vice. President for the first two
wears of Mr.. Johnson's Administration. He 10

He is, as is well known, cultured gentleman
and sound statesman, whose presence In the
House of Representatives would dignity and
adom that body. We do not believe that
either Judge Foster or Judge Phelps would be
80 alert in Cooking out for the district" as
either of their opponents. Certainly neither
of them would lose sight of the interests OF
the whole country and the general welfare in
the desire to secure an appropriation or serve
a local enterprise. 1t is urged against them
that they are Judges and ought not to soil
the ermine by dragging it into politics. And
yet good Judge can hardly fail to make an
honest Representative
In the IVth District no nominations haveyet
been made. Mr.. Barnum, the present Demo-
cratic member, expects denomination. He is a
wealthy iron manufacturer who has in the past
eight years disbursed large sums of money for
political purposes, for which politics have
been mono the purer; has served four terms in
Congress, and been q very small portion OF
the time in his seat was absent without pair
during the long struggle of his party against
the new rule; is member of the Committee
on Railroads, and voted the other day for the
Texas Pacific subsidy, though his party pre-
tends to oppose subsidies. Such nomination
would hardly need comment, but it is quite
likely to be made. And of course it ought to

propose.
The minority of the Committee go further
and distinctly admit that the interference
of the Executive power is hurtful and dis-
astrous. "The interference of the Ma
-" tional authority . did not tend to-
"ward cure of the trouble. 1t is
"clumsy and difficult of management, and
"always tends to excite and alarm the
"white people," But they can propose pothing
better. They look despairingly over the whole
field and can only say, Whatever Is. Is
"wrong." They say that the Republicans were
intimidated, and therefore the Conservatives
wrongfully carried the State; that the Return
ing Board knew this, and therefore, with the
best motives, wrongfully withheld the Con-
servatives' certificates and gave them to the
men who were not elected that by this means
the Republicans were wrongfully made ma
jority in the Legislature that the Con-
servatives nevertheless wrOngfully organ
lied it; and by the time Gen. dc Tro-
BRAND appears upon the scene to organ
ize the Legislature over again by Kelloggs
orders, the Committeeman have become so be-
widered by the maze Of illegality they have
traversed, that they give up and say, We
do not now express a Judgment of the law
"fulness of the act Of the military officer"
The minority Of the Committee thus throw no
light upon the legal question involved. They
assert that the election was not originally q
fair one, and therefore that every successive
step was tainted with illegality If we accept
their report there is no path out of this
labyrinth. But if We accept that of the ma
jorty, that the election was fair one, and
that the Conservatives carried the Legislature,
we are much further on our way toward a
practical solution of the trouble. The report
of the majority is therefore the moro prac-
tcable as well as the more probable, the more
effective as well as the more impartial. Dir.
Hoar has accomplished by his journey nothing
for his party and nothing for the State of
Louisiana.

indication of the general dissatisfaction in the
public, and particularly in the Congressional
mind. concerning the present condition OF our

Although the bills for the admission of New

New-York tribune., 1875-02-25

Sometimes it happens when two or three Amerl-
cana are gathered together and begin to deporo the
corruption and degeneracy of the times that one Oh
their number who has greatly enjoyed ten days In
London and few evenings at Cremorne, will arise
and saw that republic after all is rather low KIND
of government and that they have nothing Oh thiS
sort in England you know. But In fact there Is
no nation on earth yet discovered whore the DiscK-
guard and the charlatan are unknown, In polticS
aud out of them. Whenever an especially disreput-
able person is elected to Congress 1t is called the
fruit of democracy; when an impractlcable man OIL
genius or O gentleman with taste for arson, Is
chosen to the Assembly at Versailles. the English
speaking world cries out in chorus against the
volatility and destruCtveness of the Gallo race
when not restrained by king. 1t is an article OF
faith with all Englishmon and many Americans tnat
such things never happen In the fastanchoreo hohe
of Aristocracy. When they do happen there, anu
that is not so very seldom it is always regarded as
monstrous exception. The recent invasion Oh the
House of Commons by portentous apparitions isa
proof that no system of government is secure against
the eccentrcites of constituencies. The election OF
Mr. John Mitchell is a moro extravagant performance
than even that of O'Donoyan Rosa. lie was an
ESCAPED convict who for many years had been res
ident of this country, and who was elected simply
because he was the most Objectionable person the
voters of Tipperary could hit upon But If it be said
that Ireland is not England, and that the BrtOn is
the true type of political conservatism, wnat shait
be said of the election of DR.. Kenealy from Stoke
upon -Trentf He gained an easy victory there SIM
py as an expression from the voters of that borough
of sympathy for Arthur Orton, the most famous
Nackguard of the century, who is now in Jail for
felony We shall have to confess after while that
wherever men are found we shall find good deal OF
human nature, good and bad.

The notorious abuse of power and sQuander-
ing of the public funds under the auspices OF
the Department of Justice in the course OF
every campaign since the organization of that
department did not deter the House of Repre-
sentatives from voting yesterday to place
S3,OO0,OOO more in the hands of the Attorney
General. tThe appropriation made appears
under the general head of Expenses OF De-
"tecting Crime" hut as Attorney General
Williams is constituted the sole judge OF what
such expenses are, it is not hard to guess the
destination of the money. The United States
Marshals and Deputy Marshals in the South
have done more than all other office holders,
State and Federal, combined, to demoralize the
civil service, corrupt the voting population,
maintain ill-feeling between the races, and de-
feat the will of the people as expressed at the
polls. These are the men who Will have the
disbursement of large proportion of this
enormous sum, yet the Administration mem
bers of the House, with their eyes wide open
before the lessons Of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Alabama, and Louisiana, voted sOlidly
for the appropriation in lump, without limita-
tions or restrictions of any Kind.

The dead and buried Sanborn seems ycster-

The job wore new face, but had the same
familiar patron. Mr.. Butler secured an appro-
pration of $5O,OOO to pay for "evidence to
"defeat fraudulent claims against the Gov
"ernment," and Mr.. SanbOrn of the Sanborn
Contracts is supposed to be the man who has
the evidence for sale. The vote by which the
amendment was agreed to will probably be
reconsidered, but the fact that it passed
without exciting question or comment
shows how important it is that legislation
should be watched at every step in these last
days of the session.
