Grant Bringing Dis race Upon
Himself aud Upon the United
States.
From tie London Tiue.-l
If rumor is to be trusted, the affair
with Mr.. Marsh is only one of series;
evidences as to other Irregularities will
be forthcoming, and possibly the War
Seer, tary may not be the only person
involved.
This event is the more grave because
it is confrmatory of suspicious which
have long prevailed among the Ameri
can public. The reputation of the
official world has Of late years not been
so high as is desirable in a model Re-
public. Even we Europeans cannot
but be struck with the altered tone in
which Americans speak, if not of their
institutions, at least of the men who
have the present direction of them.
We had long been accustomed to hear
of municipal corruption, and even of
the power of the purse in certain of
the State Legislatures; but now it has
been iptimated that in higher regions
the irregularities have been serious.
President Grant has been surrounded
by men of suspected reputation, who
might at any time bring disgrace upon
him and upon the country. When he
was elected in 1868 he had the fairest
opportunities. He was a successful
General. He hal brought to an end
the greatest war in which the country
had been engaged. He was the chief
of the Republican party, which then
had an overwhelming majority in both
Houses of Congress. He mad a def
mite work to do-the pacifcation and
reconstruction of the South, and he
could count on the support of the
American people until it was accom-
plished. But his position at the pres
ent time, wheE his official career is
coming to a close, does not correspond
| with the advantages he possessed at
| the commencenent. People have lately
become impatient at the stories which
| are whispered about, and anxious to
make clearance of an Objectionable
set, who, if not themselves official.
| approach too near and we're in too
| close connection with the holders of
Office. The recent trial of Gen. Bah
cock for his alleged connection with
the whisky ring was followed with
intense interest by the public, and
| although Gen. Babcock has been
| acquitted, the revelation how things
are managed in this Centennial year
of the Republic is far from reassuring.
| In the present case it is Minister of
the highest rank who is accused, and,
| moreover, one whose profession and
| particular office should dissociate him
from illicit guilt.

THE CRIME OF CLYMER.

The great leaders of the Republican
party, having for eight years under
the present Administration glutteG
themselves with 1ll-gotten gain, wher
their crimes are exposed to the public
gaze adopt system of recriminatior
and SANDER which is as harmless tc
the Democrats who made these expos
ures as it is contemplate in the minds
of all honest men. The New York
World thus states the crime OF
CLYMER
''There are two evils, not set down
In the Litany, against which, as times
60, it will be necessary to pray for de-
iverance-namely, honesty and the
discovery of the foibles of great peo-
pie. The ingenious Gil Bias lost one
of the best places he ever had by find
ing out that the Archbishop of Toledo
had softening of the brain, and telling
His Grace of the fact; and he was
turned out of still better situation
because he happened to discover that
his mistress favorite duenna was
afflicted with a disagreeable disease.
It becomes every prudent man, there
fore, before exposing the villainies Of
a great person, to consider whether
he, the reformer. is the stuff of which
martyrs are made, or whether he is
strong enough to Withstand the trans
gressor and his friends. Not every
reformer can hope to rival the re-
peated victories of Tilden. Few
men carry so many guns. fewer have
such sagacity, and fewer still possess
their souls in such an interminable pa
thence and such an indifference
to personal consequences, good OF
ill. And we know of no one
who was ever so impartial in his
attentions to the great rascals of both
PARTIES the Tweeds and the Lords,
the Beldens and the Thayers, the Hop
kins and the Gales. This lesson of a
shrewd prudence, it would appear.

The Conviction of Judge Nose.

Judge Montgomery Moses has been
convicted by the Senate of demanding
fees from litigants aid from public
officials, of approprlating to his own
use public moneys, of neglect of duty,
Of refusing to grant orders to. which
all parties interested consented, and of
corrupt Partially in ordering the pay
rnent of public funds to certain ere Ii
tors to the exclusion of others. In ac-
cordance with this verdict the presi-
dent of the Serate has pronounced the
sentence of removal from office, and
Judge Moses ceases henceforih to ex-
ercise his judicial functions, being also
debarred from ever holding any public
cffice in this State. This verdict causes
no surprise, for the nature of the evil
dence long since removed all doubt OF
the guilt of the accused. The action

The Impeachment of Judge Moses is

aud he would have had but little
further opportunity OF prostituting
this position. Its chief significane is
warning to other judges, more
active and dangerous than Moses, that
they too may be brought to account
for mor1 daring and audac;ous breaches
of otficiai duty, unless we are to BE-
iieve that this impeachment is but
another instance of the eagerness often

helped to steal, a package of S47, 900

ring, or the whisky ring, or the trading

convicted than was Bibcock, alth ough

he will be acquitted or convicted.
