If an average loss of 2G cents on every

administration is called corruption, what
would the loss under Van Buren's admin
istration be called? The losses under his
rule amounted TO $2l Is on every 1000
disbursed. The percentage of delalca-
tions under President Grant has been
smaller than under any President since

Hon Lot Nj. MOrril.

The President has made a wise and
excellent selection for Secretary of the
Treasury in place of Mr.. Bristow. The
general regret at the retirement of that
able and vigorous officer will be greatly
tempered by the universal satisfaction
with the character and qualifications of
his successor.
Senator Morrill, will enter upon his new
duties with large experience in public al
fairs, with strong common sense and with
rugged honesty and force. He has served
fifteen years in the United States Senate,
and has uniformly been regarded by his
associates and by the public as one of the
soundest and truest members ofthat body
Without being brilliant or snowy, he is en-
dowed with wise judgement and large
practical talents. and possesses the entire
confidence of those who know him. His
personal probity is unimpeachable, and his
strength of character will make an impress
in any place. He will administer his Of
fee With prudence. and will prove saga
cious counsellor for the President 4t.E
As Chairman of the Committee on APP
preparations Mr.. Morrill, has made himself
familiar with the fiscal affairs of the Gov
eminent, and will engage in their admin
istration with Intelligence and capacity.
His views upon the general financial ques-
ton are in harmony with the sound and
conservative sentiment of the country.
and bis management will inspire general
confidence. He is in sympathy too, with
the reform impulse Of the times. and will
faithfully prosecute the work of his pre-
decessor. Altogether we regard it as a
fortunate appointment.

The reflection that the Southern States
are, through fraud and terrorism, practi-
cally solid for the Democratic party, and
that the whole hope OF Democratic success
lies in that fact, naturally excites deep
feeling in those who stop to consider il.
The Troy Times very justly said the other
day that 1t is startling. The union OF al
the elements recently in rebellion for one
particular party, and that party relying
for success upon this reascendant and re-
emboldened rebel element, are facts cal
culated to startle any sober thinker.
