If the case of Secretary Belknap were
a solitary instance of criminal malversa-
ton generous and magnanimous coun-
try would hold the President guiltless
and regard him as merely unfortunate in
the choice of one Of his confidential ad-
visers. But SO indulgent and forbearing
Judgment is impossible when General
Belknap is merely sample Of the men by
whom President Grant has been sur.
rounded. The country has not forgotten
that other members Of the Cabinet have
been forced into retirement by charges
against their honesty, although the evi.
dence against them has not been SO con-
elusive as to extort confessions of guilt
like that which has been made by Gen.
Belknap.

There have been foolish, incapable,
evil administrations before this one, but
none that has done such deep and lasting
mischief. In its lawlessness, its disre-
gard Of constitutional restraints, its mar.
row partisanship, the administration Of
President Grant has earned just conden-
nation; but all these things are trlfing
when compared with the sordid influence
which it has excited, and its subordina-
ton Of honor, justice and even honest
ambition to the greed Of gain. It is not
in Washington alone, but in every State,
in every city. in every little town
throughout the land, that this deadening
influence is felt. Public Offices are bar.
tered in open market, and officers no
longer seek 20 serve the public, but to
serve themselves.
