shaking Hands.

Aud row IL Is recorded OF Gov. HAYES
that he recently shook hands with n col
ored man. us If that was something. But
why should he not shake hands with a COL
ored man, unless he WAS afraid the black
would come off-or, rs TO that, with white
man eithers Those who publish the occur
renee seem TO think that il confers some
honor on a man for a candidate for Presi-
dent TO shake hands with him. We do not
look upon 1t in that light. 1t is not the
American doctrine, which is the doctrine
of equality.
The Tammany chief, at st. Louis, seemed
to think thas his refusal TO shake hands
with an old acquaintance would indict Il
serious injury. But he injured nobody,
and only made himself the laughing stock
OF the whole country.
The snobbish sentiment cannot take deep
root ia American soil. II may flourish in
a place like hiladelphia-which il u IN ere
overgrown country village-but It can only
get a hold in exceptional places. Most
Americans are conn dent that they are just
az good a. other people--if not a little bet
ter-and they regard the shaking OF hands,
or any other politeness or courtesy, as an
equal thing, ia which no man confers O
greater honor than he receives.

The Republican Reiormers Right.

We think Messrs. GEORGE WILLIAM
CURTIS. CARL SEIZURE, WILLIAM NJ. GRos-
vENoR, and all that race, do quite right TO
remain in the ranks ~ the Republican
party. Toward the close of Gen. GRANT s
administration they espied the necessity
of o great reform. They wrote about it
and talked about II, and made Intensely ~
very conspicuous. They may not be re-
markably far-sighted men, but there is
one thing 50 self-evIdent that they cannot
fail 20 see it, and that is that il HAYES liz
elected President, the same occasion for
reform will continue. II will not only
exist i'll the latter part of his term, but
from the very beginning. With the great
body OF the same subor hnates kept in
ONCE whom GRANT appointed, how is
HAYES going TO administer the Govern
ment In q way essentially different from
GRANI'sf
Now, these gentlemen are, by occupation,
writer's and orators for reform; aud if
HAYES is elected they are certain not TO
be thrown out OF business. With really
reformed Administration they would
have nothing left to talk about or to
write about. A practical reformer like
TIDBS would not answer their purpose
at all. They are like beggar with u sore
leg. II his sore leg be aInputated, his oe-
cupations gone.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1876-07-05
One Ont Of Eighty Thousand.

The Republicans propose TO elect HAYES
President in place OF GRANT. The whole
number of public officers is estimated to
be eighty thousand. One is TO be changed,
and seventy-uine thousand nine hundred
and ninety-ninc left In! One drop In the
pail Of sour milk is to he changed will
that make the whole pail sweet
Whereas. II TILDEN is elected, the great
majority Of the public officers will stand
not upon the order Of their going, but 90
~ once. This would be civil service reform
IN earnest; not reform Of one-eighty-
thousandth part, but reform Of the whole
body.
This view of the matter makes il very
plain how electors who want to give their
support to reform should vote. Those
who desire one-eigbty-thousandth part Of
reform can vote for HAYES; while those
Who are for entire reform will vote for
TILDEN.

IL Is now more than six weeks since the
report Of the select committee on the Freed
mars Bank was submitted TO the House Of
Representatives, and made public. In that re-
port, which was accompanied with evidence
which more than justified all the conclusions OF
the committee, II was shown just how the poor
negro depcsitors, to the number Of nearly one
hundred thousand, had been robbed Of their
hard-esmed savings by the Washington Rms.
The details OF ono transaction OF an exception
ally atrocous character were ziven-the lob by
which 500, 900 Of second mortgage bonds Of the
Seneca Sandstone Company. which were abso-
luteiy worthless, were exchanged for fo2,Oo0 Of
the freedmen's good mopey-and the com mlttee
declared that the fraud was so gross that every
one OF the survivors Of the parties to the trans
action, namely, HEsRy ID. COOKE, LEWIS Gle
PHAS. hALLBrr KILBouRs, and JoHs o. Ev-
ANS, should be indicted. tried. and punished to
tho extent of the law. We have not yet heard of
any measures leading to tho action which was
recommended In the case Of these pundorers.
When anything Is done. Judge TAFT, the
new Attorney General. Il the man 10 move In
the matter, az the prosecuting oficers OF the
District courts are subject to hts direction
while II such roRues are TO escape punishment
he must not ex pect to avoid responsibility. To
be sure, an attempt to procure the Indictment
OF COOKE and his confederates would provoke
the wrath OF President GRANT, aud there would
bc little probability OF getting a conviction so
long as the Presidents brother-in-law was on
hand to pack the juries; but these reasons
shoud not deter the Attorney General, who
bears the reputation Of an honest man. from
trying to do his duty. II he docs his oest tue
public will be with him, and, moro than that, he
Will have the approval Of his own conscience.
IL will be n lasting shame ifno attempt, even. IL
made TO bring to Justice the mcan-spirted ras-
Gals who stole The poor negroes money.

This Is true. The desire for reform has taken
root among many Republicans. who are dis
eusted with the works Of Grsntism and see that
the election Of HAYES means Its substantial
oontinusnoe under another name. Therefore,
we hear all around OF men who have been Re-
publicans from the start Of that party fastening
TO enlist under the Reform banner. They
recognize the fact that tho old issues which
gave dignity to the Republican party are dead.

A Most Crcditabie Celebration.

The ceremonies with which the Centen-
NAL Fourth was ushered In were conduct
ed with great success. The whole affair
was managed without hitch or disorder.
and throughout the evening the behavior
of the people was as creditable to their
seif-control as to their patriotism. Every
body seemed 10 have made up his mind to
honor tho great anniversary by orderly
conduct and the display of good feeling.
The cheers which greeted the military and
other organizations IN the procession were
continuous, and the menin line bore them
selves M IL sympathizng with the high
spirits and patriotic temper OF the on
lockers. There was very little drunk
enness, aud less rowdyism, ond the
manifestation OF enthusiasm over the oo-
casion was especially strong among our
fcreign-born citizens, though everybody
shared in II. Happily, too, the fires were
few, In spite OF the vast numberof torches
candles, and paper lanterns; and the acci-
dents of the Fourth, though II was SO high
