Jewell Driven Ont.

President GRANT is playing the mischief
In his determination to perpetuate Grant
ism TO tho last moment. Postmaster
JEWELL has followed Secretary BRIsTow
out OF the Cabinet; and In lower grade
OF Office, PnATT, the Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue, has offered his resignation
thus soon after the removal of YARYAN at
Washington and DYER at st. Louis.
JEWELS dismissal was unexpected,
ignominious, and Notifying. Yesterday,
after it had occurred he appeared before
n committee of Congress, aud was asked
whether il was forced or voluntary, TO
which he merely replied that 1t was in
accordance with the notification of the
President, and was not on account of
any charges against him. We have
not had occasion to be ardent in
our admiration of JEWELS reforming"
propensities in the Post once Depart
mont; but, such as they were, they un-
doubtedly annoyed and irritated GRANT.
JEWELL told the House committee already
referred to- which has been investigating
Post ONCE frauds, that he had sought to
have violations of the law punished and
Offenders prosecuted. though he had been
disappointed at the small results of his eff
forte. Even show of work in this direo-
ton was too much for GRANT. GRANT
stood that sort Of thing in BRIsTow rs long
as he could; but as soon as he saw what il
was coming to he got rid Of BRIsrow, and
since then he has been driving from office
all those who assisted BRIsTow in Wash
ington, st. Louis, and elsewhere.
JEWELL had in timid way, half-sympa-
thized with BRIsTow. JEWELL has lately
talked indiscreetly about GRANTS dis
missal of YARYAN. JEWELL has not shown
aproper spirit when GRANT forced unfit
men into places in his department. JEWELL
has not been fully and always subservient
20 the Rings Of plunderers. JEWELL has
not shown becoming desire 10 obey Boss
SHEPHERD and the other cronies of the
President or ) ENCER and MORTON and the
other Senatorial supporters of Grantism.
GRANT determin d 10 punish JEW ELL for
his misconduct, and TO resent his interior
ence with Grantism. Though JEWELL was
going very far to please GRANT, GRANT
found, during the last few days, that he
could no longer put up with JEWELL.
SO JEWELL, snubbed and turned out.
gives up his place in the Cabinet to JAMES
M. TYNER OF Indiana, lately Second As
distant Postmaster-G neral. TYNER has
been promoted at the instance of Senator
MORTON, and is an Indiana politician OF
the MORTON stripe. He will not trouble
the President with any pretence Of
reforming anything. He will not in
terfere with the Presidents friends or
their interests. He will not thwart
the Presidents will III regard 10
the appointment Of his subordi-
mates. He will not criticise the Presidents
conduct in any respect. He will not pre-
vent the Rings from Selling their plum
fer He will not turn the cold shoulder to
BnEPHERD or SPENCER. There Is another
thing not less important about him. He
will be far more skilful, energetic, and un-
Scrupulous than JEWELL could be in using
The patronage ana power of the Post Office
Department in the great work of election
rering. He will be an efficient man in set
ting up things for the Indiana election OF
next October.
Reform why, this is GRANTS notion
OF it-no, not OF reform for he hates the
word-but Of the thing needed to defeat
the election ofTILDEN, and secure the per-
petuation of Grantism in HAYES.
