OFFICIAL FACOR.

Gen. Grant is reported to have said, in reply
to a question whether he was pushing Mr.
Conkling, that he did not mean to favor any
Republican, candidate for the nomination,
"either by word, deed or intmation," as against
any other Republican candidate. OF course the
President has the same right to his personal
preferences that any other citizen has, and if
he really believes that Mr.. Conklng is the best
man for the White House it may not be easy
to convince him that he ought not to say so.
But we know by experience what the
"favorr of the Administration means in
a case of this kind. There are perhaps
eighty thousand ofice-holders who depend
upon the President for their places; there are
at least eighty thousand other citizens who
depend upon the Office holders there are un-
numbered multitudes of office-seekers watch
ing for the faintest indication Of the wishes of

Not to nominate him at st. Louis would DO
to start off with the confession that all ''e

Reform is hollow and insincere. No platform

Convention could invent or say or do, could

Reform after defeating the nomination OF

the appointing power, and it Is these nundreos
&C tbousonds. the holders and seekers OF
places, politicians by profession, VINO con'roi
the urinary meetings and pack the cOnven-
t;ons. II does not always require word, or q
deed or an intimation, to inform these persons
what the Administration wishes. them to do,
and in two recent instances, one IN New iork'
the other in Virginia, the Administration mas
given them the broadest kind of hint that
Mr. Conking is the man for them.
We are willing however to take Gen. Grant
at his word, and to believe, if he will have 1t
so, that he has retired from the business OF
"practical politics." and means to allow peo-
ple hereafter, Office-hOlders rs well as private
citizens to vote according to their individual
pleasure. 1t will make great change In the
prevailing method of conducting public affairs,
but perhaps the reform which it indicates Is
not beyond hope. If Gen. Grant is not going
TO dictate the choice of his followers for tho
Presidency, we may reasonably presume that
he will keep his hands off the State elections
likewise. This expectation is especially graft
fying because the telegraph informs us, 1lrst
that tho political campaign is becoming
active in Louisiana, and secondly that Gov.
Kellogg is on the way to Washington. We
all know what elections have been in that un-
fortunate dependency since the war, and how
Kellogg and the President between them, with
the aid of Casey, Packard, the late Judge
Durel, and the present Judge Billings, have
contrived that the State should be ruled'from
Washington instead of governed by Leglsla-
ture and Executive officers of its own choos-
ing. If at last the people Of Louisiana might
have the privilege not only of holding an cleo
ton but installing the candidates whom they
elect the event would seem like burst OF
sunshine over the whole South.

THE CONDITION or TIE BAHKS.


The banks have decidedly strengthened
their position since last week. The legal ten
ders have increased $2,560,OOO, and though
the specie has decreased $1,323,5OO deposits
have also decreased $780, 100, so that the
proportion of total reserve to deposits is now
about 292 per cent, whereas last week it was
2S.2 per cent But the proportion OF legal
tenders to deposits, which was 1873 per cent
last week, has now risen to 2O.3 per cent.
Many of the banks which were especially weak
in legal tenders last week have now secured
satisfactory reserve. OF the twenty-five
banks mentioned by THE TRIBUNE on Wednes-
day last as having legal-tender reserve not
exceeding IS per cent, six have pushed that
reserve above 20 per cent-the Merchants,
Mechanics, Union. Butchers and Drovers,
Citizens, and Nassau. OF the remaining nine-
teen banks, the Manhattan and America now
hold 10 per cent, and the New-Iork, the Cal
latin National, the American Exchange, and
the Dry Goods, IS per cent There remain
thirteen banks whose deposits this week and
ratio of legal tender to deposits this week anu
last are here shown:

Their official intercourse is part of the public bust

The Committee appointed to investigate the
Real Estate Pool have found some other dirty
water. The story of Mrs. Boggs'S sharing
with Major Clements in the profits of a pen
sion Office which the Major held through her
influence with the President, Is so much like
the Orvil Grant scandals that it bears the ap-
pearance of verify. But that the President
was fully acquainted with all parts OF this dis
reputable little arrangement, is not at all prob
able.

New-York tribune., 1876-04-25

Three weeks ago THE TRIBUNE told the
partisans who were magnifylng the opposition
TO Gov. Tilden at home, and declaring he
could not carry his own State, that the Utica
Convention would do precisely what Gov. Til
denis own friends, on careful review
of the situation, should decide to be
best for bis interests; aud would
instruct or not instruct the delegates to
vote as unit for him, exactly as he wished.
That seems to be just about the pith OF the
news now but it is no news to the readers OF
Journals whose first aim in politics is to pub
Ish honestly and fairly all the news.
