THE TWADDLE or IMPEACHMENE

Sneaker Randall seems to be an uncOmmOnly
earnest person. Not always wise, but ap-
parently always profoundly impressed with
the necessity of "dOing something" and
greatly enthusiastic in going ahead to do it.
It was Mr. Randall who at the last session of
this Congress urged, and persisted in urging
the importance to the Democratic party
of "doing something" in the way of
retrenchment. 1t was necessary, he thought,
to impress upon the people the idea that the
Great Democratic Party was the party of re-
trenchment and reform, and so he advocated
such sweeping reductions in the appropriations
as made even his own political associates
stand aghast. And it was currently reported
and generally believed that the debt of graft
tude the country was under to Congress for
sitting and sitting and wearying the patience
of the people away into the middle of the last
Summer, was due principally to Mr. Randall,
who insisted on staying and peeling the
appropriations down to point where the
departments would be crippled, and the Demo-
cratic party would be enabled to point with
pride TO its great policy of retrenchment. He
did that work exceedingly well. 1t was easier
to do than it would have been if his own
party had been in power and the work Of re-
trenchment had cut into the emoluments
of his own friends; but he did it, and
as soon as it was over the whole
crowd of leaders and followers, orators and
oraces, rushed to the country with the cry
that the party had saved thirty millions in the
appropriations. Mr.. Randall is very stub
born person, and is constantly bent on "doing
something" for the party. The something he
now seems bent on doing is to impeach
President Grant. He intiDated it in his adj
dress upon taking the Speakers chair, and
now he has been urging il IN cauc 5,
and will no doubt follow it up with
his usual pertinacity. Not that anything
can be effected by it beyond little unnecessary
mud-finging at q retiring officer not that he
has any sort of hope of conviction, for that
is wildly improbable, but because he feels the

forget il. Ii is the business of public joGrna
not only to record but to remember, and sadly
do we remember the many fatalities, the dreary
particulars, the heightened lists Of KILLED and
wounded" which have burdened these col
umns. Reluctantly we are compelled to admit
that our public does not regard experience, in
spite of the copy-book, as a good teacher. At
any rate, it is a public which de-
clines to be taught, If it is to be judged by
its ever-recurring omissions and commissions.
There appears to be some radical defect in
the national character, which manifests itself
IN lack of reverence for human life, an in
adequate sense of our duties to each other, q
levity which dismisses from the memory that
which for a moment has most painfully agi-
tated the mind. We are satisfied when We
have called for the passage of' a new law.
Sometimes it is enacted sometimes it Is not; ;
sometimes, if enacted, it is enforced; some
times it is not. We might be thankful for
even the darkest disaster, if it could shock u.s.
once for all, out of this lamentable friyolity.
Then, and not till then. we may hold the SER
wants of the public to a strict account.
New-York tribune., 1876-12-08
REATEy BY THEIR ODN TRICK.

OF course the Democrats have no expecta-
ton that the thin game they played in Oregon
can he successful They do not pretend to
the least doubt about the will of the people
of the State The majority voted against all
the Democratic candidates for electors,
and it is certain, therefore, that none
of those Democratic candidates were
fairly elected and that no vote from any Of
them can justly be counted 1t is not prob
able that the Democrats had the least cx-
pectation that it would be. What they want is
TO use Oregon as a lever to Try open the whole
question of the action taken by the various
Returning Boards. The Republicans have main
tanned that there is no power which can go
behind or reverse the decision of Il Returning
Board that its work is final and subject
to no review. The Democrats thereupOn
find q Governor reckless enough to vio-
late his official oath, and give certifi-
cate to a man notOriOusly defeated. They
argue that if the Republicans acqulesce Tilden
is elected if they resist they can only do it
by asserting the right to go behind the de-
cision of a Returning Board, and thus open
up the cases irs all the disputed States. 1t
looked like a shrewd trick in a desperate
game.
But they overreached themselves. Their
bogus cector has to forward his certificate
from the Governor. The President of the
Senate finds there the certificates also of two
Republican electors lawfully elected. lie sees
that they are the majority of the Board, that
their election is unquestioned, and that they
filed the vacancy of one in the lawful manner,
lust as the bogus electOr proceeded TO fill the
vacancy of two. He recognizes this as OBJ
viOusly the true Board, counts their vote, and
the Democratic conspiracy vanishes into thin
air.
But what party this of Mr.. Tilden's is
for scrupulously respecting the declared will
"Of the people ~

Certificates purpOrting to be electoral votes,
showing 1875 votes for Hayes and Wheeler,
and 206 votes for Tilden and Hendricks, will
be forwarded by messengers and delivered to

from Alabama for Hayes, and 10 from Flor

New-York tribune., 1876-12-08

THE TRIBUNE, on the 18th of November,
gave to New-YOrk its first intimatiOn that Mr.
John Kelly was to be the next Controller.
The journals which rely upon their prejudices
instead of their reporters for their news,
were prompt in discrediting the state
ment; and quite possibly intelligent
readers were for little time deceived by the
preliminary maneuver of sending in the name
of Mr.. Thayer, in order to tide over a
crisis in the Board of Aldermen. The NOM
ination has now, however. been made,
exactly according to the programme
which THE TRIBUNE announced. Mr.. Kelly
has been confirmed, Mr. Green has
surrendered the office without resistance,
and Mr. Kelly is in full possession. Corpora
ton Counsel Whitney has also been confirmed,
and is, therefore, in his seat for the next four
wears. We think both will make good officers.
Mr.. Whitney's career thus far has been
thoroughly credtable, and Mr.. Kelly's short
cOmings, whatever they may be, are not III
the direction of loOseness with the public
money, or lack of the most scrupulous in
| teglity.

In Mexico the revolution has triumDhed.
President Lerdo has fled from the capital,
which Gen. POrfrio Diaz has entered in tri-
umph and declared himself Provisional Presi-
dent. This success is attributable to the in
sdious power of conspiracy, since Diaz had
apparently made little progress since he fled
from Matamoros and made his way stealth
lily to Oaxaca. He will find it difficult
to maintain the ascendency he has so
suddenly acquired. He is opposed by Presl-
dent Lerdo, who reasserts his authority from
Morelia. He is also confronted by lgIesias,
who claims to be President in virtue OF his
office as Chief-Justice of the Supreme Court.
His chief dependence is, of course, on the
army. The situation is on the whole alarming,
and would warrant the greatest vigilance for
the protection of American interests.
New-York tribune., 1876-12-08

The Park Commissioners case grows clearer.
Mr.. O'Donohue is quietly evolved from it by
the Mayors statement that he has vacated his
Office by taking that of Presidential electOr.
This leaves Mr.. Martin sadly alone. Mean
while he keeps on proving that the city ought
to pay more for labor than other employers.
Mr.. Martin will soon reenter politics as the
"laborlng mans friend "-if the labOring man
is a fool.
New-York tribune., 1876-12-08

The action of the Democratic House in regard to
the Colorado member is thoroughly consistent with
the systematic plan so often exposed in these col
umns, Colorado was q good enough State to
"claimn vociferously long after everybody knew it
had been carried for Hayes and Wheeler, and up to
the latest available moment there will be no thin
ble-rigging or pettifogging too small for Mr.
Tilden's managers to practice with view to de-
fraud Republicans of the three electoral votes SO
fairly won. The original plan of bowling =" fraud|
to cover mp the crimes Of Democratic ruffianism in
the South before the election will be carried
on with redoubled lung power to divert attention
from more recent trickery. This cry Of "fraud!'
has most suspicious ring when shouted by the
party which inspired the illegal activity of the
South Carolina court, which is engineering the
bubble machine in Nebraska, Oregon, and Vermont,
and which has outraged decency by this crowning
dishonesty in tue House of Representatives.
The Greenback party must bestir itself. or it viii
find specie payments resumed before it has had
chance to make another fight for initiation. Here is
gold at 1914 and steadily sinking. The exports
heavy, and, in the event Of foreign war, viii
be great deal heavier; while the imports are ex-
ceedngly light Gold is steadily pouring IN upon
u.s. and 4l2 per cent bond for the purpose Of
funding the greenbacks could certainly be placed
to advantage almost Immediately. The specie pay
ment question is taking care of ITSELF and the num-
Der of people, other than escaped lunatics, who
believe specie resumption, in accordance with the
law in 1879 an impOssibility, is rapidly dimin-
ishng.
The Handbook of Charities, which has been pub
shed for the last two years under tho auspices OF
the Board of United Charities, is looked upon now
by all engaged in relieving the wants of the poor as
most useful auxiliary. 1t furnishes the names,
objects, addresses and other particulars of all the
charitable institutions and associations Of our city,
both public and private. We would call attention
to the fact that the new edition will appear early
next month, and that all societies which have re-
ceived circulars requesting returns of work. income,
and any changes since the last publication, are de-
sired to send them in with little delay as possible
