agent II can command and by every means
however desperate, even TO the suborning
OF witnesses and stealing of papers, is
openly exerted to-day, not in prosecuting

The motive is palpable enough. BAN

GRANT was dismissed, and replaced by an
other Republican of better antcccdcnts

patcd, because the system itself is poisoned
with the virus of Grantism. The politi-
clans form "a close corporation inside the

Theatrical managers should therefore ut
once cleanse their own ways and those Of
their stages before they rush into the COM
petition TO produce the grent moral play.
We commend these thoughts TO Mr.. WAL
LACK, Mr. DAILY, Mr.. HARRY PALMER, Mr..
STUART, Mr.. SHOOK, Mr.. Tony PASTOR, and
Mr.. JOSH HART.
The report that JAY GoULD's young edi-
tor is to 60 on the stage has not been con-
tradicted. Whether he wllappenr in play
of his own authorship or in some one of
the standard dramas, is still kept a secret
from the public. When the young editor
strides from the tall tower to the Theatre
scene, there will be marked one of the
most thrilling events of the Centennial
epoch. The Count JoANNEs, too, Is to
grace the boards once AGAIN, carrying
with him the dramatic genius which has
thrilled the bench and bar Ex-Brother
jon Howard, whose genius has already
contributed notable additions 10 Centcn-
NAL dramatic literature, explicitly denies
that he intends himself to assume the sock
and buslln. The Hon. ELL PERKINS, the
champion American humorist, informs us
that though he will write u Centennial
play, he will not give up his present lucra-
tive occupation to grace the theatric
boards and he bases this refusal on the hon
orable and iilial ground that his mother is
opposed to the stage. Senator LOGAN, it
seems, will contribute drama, to be added
TO the treasures Of this nflluent dramatic
epoch. MARK TWAIN, according to the
Norrstown Herald. will dramatize his
"Blue Trip Slip for an Eight-ccnt Fare"
as his contribution TO the dramatic litcra-
ture of tins glorious era. His play will DO
based on the famous couplet
Punch brothers. punch with care.

How many other men of genius are pre-
pairing contributions to the drama of the
Centennial epoch we are not informed.
but the number is probably great. How
many other distinguished men are fitting
themselves TO be actors, is one OF those
things which time alone can reveal. Doubt
less they are not few. Thus 1t happens
that IN this luminous Centennial era we
are promised the conjunction of brilliant
drama and matchless histrionic talents.

The so-called Independent Senators,

The action Of the Republicans in the
Senate on the West Point and Diplomatic
Appropriation bills sent to them by the
House will enable independent voters to
determine whether the Republican party
can be reformed inside the organization,
or whether, as CHARLES JAMES Fox once
said in Parliament about the slave trade,
the only way TO reform it is TO destroy it,
While smarting under the terrible re-
buke of the elections of 1874, candid Re
pubicans admitted that GRANTS admins
tration had been proflipate, ana that the
demand of the country for retrenchment
was reasonable. The two bills we have
mentioned afford the means for testing the
sincerity of these declarations. The Re-
publcans in the House fought them on the
details, but flinchcd or fed on the final
vote. The conduct of certain Republican
Senators on these aud similar bills will be
closely scrutinized wo refer to Messrs
CoNKLING, MonToN, and SHERMAN, who
aspire TO be nominated for President,
and TO Messrs. CHRIsTIANCY, CAMERON, and
MCMILLAN, who were elected ms Republi-
can rcformcrs over the regular candidates
of the party us sort of first fruits of the
political revolution of 1874. In these three
latter cases n body of Republicans who
would not wear the party collar, united
with large share of the Democrats and
beat JACK CHANDLER, MATT CARPENTER,
and ALECK RAMSAY. Senator BooTH of
California was elected under similar cir
cumstances a year earlier.
The action OF these Presidential aspirants
and of these so-called Independents on
bills for reducing public expenditures and
tightening the burdens OF taxation. will
show whether or not the Republican party
has become so lavish and corrupt that TO
reform It is hopeless and that to destroy il is
aduty. Especially will the course Of CHRIS
TfANCY, CAMERON, and MCMILLAN throw
valuable light upon the question whether
II is of any avail for Republican rcformers
TO try to retrench expenses and otherwise
improve the civil service by working
within the lines Of the party.

MIR. BEECnER questions concerning his case,
when his word has so little value with the pub
lie that even though lie has solemnly and in
detail sworn that he Is guitless, vet the belief
In his guilt is stronger now than II was before
his oaths. Everybody knows that MIR. DEECnER
denies the truth Of the charges against him.
For all that, the evidence Of his own letters and
acts is so convincing Of his guilt, and his dupli-
city has been so often proved, that many hold
him to be an adulterer who Is trying TO escape
just punishment through perjury.

GRANTS certificate Of character, in the
case OF BABcoCK, reminds US OF the many other
similar certificates he has given to notorious
characters during the lat few years. At least
score OF his personal favorites, after getting
into trouble, have pulled from their pockets
some sort OF letter or testimonial, kindly fur
nished them by GRANT, setting forth their
many virtues and their faithfuness, and ex-
pressing his particular admiration for them
personally. These certificates have not, as a
general thing, proved to be OF very great value
to their holders. They are moro interesting IA
evidences Of the character, ways, and notions
Of GRANr himself, than OF the individuals to
whom he has given them.
