| ards of qualification and fitness. Here
was an appointment, every one said, that in
stead of disgracing would honor the nation
one that the country need not be ashamed
of. No one dreamed there would DO the
slightest opposition in any quarter to his
confirmation, or that there could be any doubt
of favorable action Oh the part of the Senate.
We say no one: Mr.. Butler thought other
wise. That person, driven out by an IN
dignant constituency from the public lie
he has done so much to degrade and corrupt,
and remanded to a political retirement In
which his vicious exudatiOns should con-
taminate narrower sphere, remembered well
an ancient grudge, and bethought him that
here was an opportunity to crafty 1T.
And so Mr. Butler with the smells of more
scandals following and hanging about him, and
the responsibility for moro disgraceful appoint
ments, more corrupt transactions, and more
mischief and deviltry generally than ever at
tached before to any score of public men,
came forward with his opposition to
the confirmation And he, Of all men in
the world, based his opposition upon the ground
that Mr. Dana had been guilty Of dishonorable
conduct in the matter of a certain publication.
1t was roaring farce. The boundless impu-
dence of the man had been discounted hun
dred times, but this was absolutely surprise.
1t was not thought possible that the opposition
of such n man as Butler to such n man as
Richard III. Dana could be other than pOweress.
But the result shows that however Mr.. But
Ter may stand before the country, he has in
tluence with tho United States Senate-ntiu-
ence enough to carry that body contrary to Its
own convictions of propriety and duty-for we
cannot believe there is one man in that body
who will pretend that Mr.. Dana would not he
an honorable, worthy representative of his
country-and contrary to the wishes OF the
best and most intelligent portion of the com
munity. There has been no decent pretext
offered for rejecting Mr.. Dana. There is no
reason in the world for it except to
crafty Mr.. Butler, who remembered that
he had at one time been candi-
date of the better class of Republicans
in Buffers district against Butler himself.
The Senate, with Simon Cameron and Oliver
p. Morton leading it, has lent itself to the
qualification of Mr.. Buffers personal spite at
the expense OF its own sef-respect and
the good name of the nation. These had to be
sacrificed, for Butler demanded, and the narrow
craftsmanship that Furnishes "bolters" dictated
it. No doubt Mr.. Butler chuckles over his TIL
umph But the nation, contemplating the list
of appointments of rogues and incompetents
which these same Senators have confirmed
without question, and their rejection of this,
can do nothing but hang its head i'll shame.

TIE LATEST BANNING.

Close on the heels of the Bcknap exposure, tho
Republicans won in Hampshire. With n
better ticket and platform, they were beaten n
month later in Connecticut. Is there Il poll
tician so blind that no cannot see the mean
ing Of these events2 After the New-Ilamp-
shire election we warned the Republicans that
their increased confidence was mistaken and
might prove fatal that the full effect of expo
surcs of fraud was not Immediately felt; that 1t
took time for facts to produce their full impress
sion upon the average voter, just as it takes time
for the escaping water to undermine a dam.
Public confidence in party managers yields
slowly at first afterward comes the break,
and then the destructive deluge. No man can
guess how far popular confidence in the Re
publican party has been undermined by recent
exposures. But, with all allowance for oxtraor-
binary efforts in Newl Hampshire, the Repub-
lican party is proved to be weaker than it was
a month ago, for in Connecticut a very large
vote has resulted in decisive Democratic
victory.
For many years Connecticut has been the
politica, barometer. III Presidential year the
Republican party has counted upon that State
with certainty, and never i'll vain. In 1876 it
gives tho Democrats a majority, not of tens
or hundreds, but of thousands, and that
against the best ticket the Republicans could
name. Connecticut, Ncw-Jcrsey, and NewYork
are ruled by substantially the same ele-
ments in decisive battles they are usually
found on the same side; and they are now
Democratic The result in Connecticut shows
that the Republicans have not yet taken such
q position as to have chance of carrying
either of these States. Nor can any man guess
how much weaker that party will be found
when the story of rascality in high places has
had time to reach all the voters. That it will
be weaker, in all human probability, every
intelligent man must admit, but it Is weak
enough even now to lose these three Eastern
States. With them goes the last chance OF
elccting Republican President, except by q
complete and unmistakable change of policy.
New York, Ncw-Jcrsey, and Connecticut, with
Indiana and the Democratic States of the
South, suffice to end the fight. Republicansm
has gained by Democratic incompetence and
folly at Washington, but it has lost nearly as
much already by exposure OF the knayery OF
Grantism The people distrust Democracy,
feeling that it is loyal neither to the public in
terest nor to the public honor, but they hate
Republican thieves. If they have to choose
between Democracy and such Repnblicanisn
as the present or recent management OF that
party represents, they will make WHY faces,
and shut their eyes, and screw up their cour-
age, and swallow Democracy, as one swallows
nauseOus dose to get rid OF deadly disease.
The country will take Bourbon who is honest
sooner than loyal Belknap.

A few days ago the case of the United States
against H. b. Clahin g. Co. was dismissed, and
yesterday another case, against Wallace d
Malcomson, was abandoned by the Govern
ment. Both firms were charged with defraud-
ing the customs, and both suits clearly meant
legal blackmai, just as did the more famous
cases against Phelps, Dodge 81 Co. and other
leading merchants. b. G. Jayne was the IN
former in the case of Messrs. Wallace q Nal
comson, and in this as in all the other cases
where the merchants fought him he abandoned
the attempt without going to trial. 1t Is
singular fact that all those merchants who
fought Jayne and his confederates at the tenn
porary cost to their credit, which was inevita-
bic from the publicity given to the charges
even when unfounded and improved, have
escaped plumber and been speedily restored to
the confidence Of all their correspondents,
while those who, to avoid publicity, compro-
missed with legal blackmailers, lost their money,
and after all did not secure immunity from
the exposure whose effect they SO much
dreaded and oyerestimated.
