4 Administration; it is the ofiiceholders who
conduct political canyasses, and are relied
upon to manipulate, and, if necessary, 10
falslfy election returns. Mr.. Hayes, in
opposition to the old Democratic principle
OF rotation IL offi1e. which has always been
held to be the only effectual barrier to the
creation of an officeholding aristocracy,
proposes to give life tenure of Office to
these men. and thus render them entirely
independent of public opinion. This will
account Tor the enthusiasm they manifest
Tor his election. All of these officebolders,
on the occasion OF every important election,
are compelled to contribute money for
political purposes, and thus enormous
corruption funds are raised to use against

pie OF the right of self-government, inter-
fering with troops to carry elections fort he
Republican party, and multiplying the will
OF the people as expressed at the polls
| when the verdict was uufayorable to the
| RUE OF ignorance and corruption. The
pubic debt of nearly all the reconstructed
states was comparatively small at the end
OF the war; under negro and Garnet bar
rule 1t was rolled up to an aggregate Of
over One Hundred and Ninetv-fomr
| .hattaon Dollars, while the taxation for
local purposes has often amounted practic
| ally to confscation, An immense number
OF farms, as we'll as large tracts of unim-
proved lands, have been seized and sold

greed OF the plunderers who have re-
presented Grants Administration in the
South, and who have succeeded in i'm

oI the most productive territory in Ameri-
ca, thus running the best market for
northern manufactures that there is 10
the world. The present policy of Grant
and the men who are managing the cam
paign Tor Hayes is to rekindle the sectional
animosltIes which are dying out both
North and South; to incite race distur
Dances, disorganize labor, and put those
ot the Southern people who have redeemed
themselves IRON the rule of the CARPET
oaggers back into territorial condition
where they will be helpless to protect
themselves from utter ruin. OF course
the success Of this policy would be dis
astrous to the financial interests OF the

These are a few of the most conspicuous
features of that policy which the Gin

The BROOKLYN Calamity,

Thet terrible calamity at the Brooklyn
Theatre Tuesday night grows in proper
tons and horror as the particulars come
in. 1t is probable that $50 persons, per.
haps more, were burned and trampled to
death in this frightful disaster. It is al
most impossible to conceive now so many
persons could lose their lives under the
circumstances. The Theatre was not
crowded, was, in fact, but about tive Thirds
filled; there seemed to have been ordinary.
though perhaps, inadequate means Of
egress, and yet so rapidly did the flames
spread and 50 great was the panic, that
hundreds of human beings were overtaken
trodden under foot, and at last consumed
in the burning mass,
When the full particulars come to light
and the construction of this building is
thoroughly understood, we shall xproba-
bly, be able to determine what was the IA
tai blunder or defect that made this horri-
BILE holocaust possible. That it could have
been guarded against, no one doubts; but
whether the arrangements of the building
were similar to those Of other public halls
and theatres in this and other cities, is a
matter which concerns people most vitality,
and this we should know at once. The
account which we publish this morning
il frightful one, and we do not wonder
that the dreadful event has almost over.
