Gen. Hayes' Acceptance.

The letter of formal acceptance of the
Presidential nomination by Gen. Hayes,
just given to the public, is a temperate,
well-written document. Besides gen.
eral concurrence in the doctrines OF the
platform laid down by the Convention
that nominated him, Gen. Hayes has
very appropriately advanced the one
term principle, and the principle of nom
partisan appointments to office. This
is well. He emphatically approves OF
the fifth resolution Of that platform, con-
demning the Interference of members of
Congress in Executive appointments.
In this regard he says, ''the reform
should be thorough, radical, and com.
plete."
The letter is in every regard a clear
and positive enunciation OF political
views; and is well summarized in its
own concluding paragraph, thus:
With civil service organized upon a
system which will secure purity, ex-
perience, efficiency and economy; a
strict regard for the public welfare sole
5iy in appointments, and the speedy,
thorough and unsparing prosecution and
punishment of all public officers
who betray official trusts; with
O sound currency; with educa-
tion unsectarian and free to all; with
simplicity anu frugality in public and
private affairs, and with a fraternal
spirit of harmony pervadIng the people
OF all sections and classes, we may rea
sonably hope that the second century OF
our existence as Nation will, by the
blessing OF God, be pre-eminent as an
era of good ieeling and period of pro-
gress, prosperity and happiness"
1t would be difficult for any good citi-
zen of any party to find fault with those
principles. And nothing could be wider
from the practices known as Grqntisnas
than the administration thus briefly oul
lined as constituting Gen. Hayes idea
Of Executive duties.

Injuries to the Brain,

Delicate as the organization of the
brain must be, it is surprising to read oil
the hard knocks it can bear, not only
without injury, but even to its adyan-
tage. Oae man who lost half his brain
through suppuration Of the skul, pre-
served his Intellectual faculties to the
day of his death; and the brains of SOL
diers have been known to carry bullets
without apparent Inconvenience, aud 10
undergo operations Tor the extraction ot
foreign bOuies without loss OF power. A
physician, who was afn cted with an alb
normal cerebral grow th which pressed
upon the cavities Of the brain SO as to
paralyze Que side OF his body and render
MIN speechless, retained possession OF
his reasoning and calculating powers
until he died.

receiving a severe injury on the head,

Gov. Tilden's religious views having
been spoken of in certain quarters, the
N. Y. World has made itself the ex-
FOUNDER of MIR. Tilden's creed. After
saying that a mans religious notions are
Of not much account anyway, the World
says:
"since they are anxious to know what
Governor Tllden's religious creed is, we
may inform them that he believes IN the
/ Gospel Of st. Matthew, who sat at the
receipt OF customs and saw that the gov
ernment got what belonged 10 it, and
does not believe i'll the practice Of Judas,
VINO bore Il bag for the disciples and kept
what was put therein. This is the reli-
gion that lie has established at ALBANY
and which good men OF all parties and
all religious faiths admit is very much

Welded to them as courtesy, has now |
come to be claimed as a right; and the !
assertion of that assumed right has
come to take the form Of dictdtion In ap-
pointments to office.
This is a most mischievous change In
our public administration. The interposi-
ton OF some settled and We'll advised
political declaration against 1t could not
come too soon. 1t is an evil thatis silent
and insidious in its growth, but none the
less an evil. Granting that Congress
men may possibly know Of personal
knowledge the fitness or unftness Q I
particular applicants for Executive ap-
pointments, is it certain that they will
be more careful than the Executive
would be to select the best? Have Con-
gressmen no ambitious projects and pur-
poses to subserYe? Have they no need
of personal adhereuts and ofiicious wire
workers in their home districtsf Have
they no use for men of easy virtue in,polit-
ical action to execute their own schemes? !?
And is it unlikely that they will be glad
to secure the aid of such by lending them
aid and com ort in obtaining an Execu-
tive appointment?
| That such should be the course Of ac-
tion by all members OF Congress, IT
would be unjust to presume. But that
it would be true of SO many of them as
to render the practice an evil OF ominous
import to the public good, it Is perfectly
safe to assert. Many of the rank evils
that have of recent years been developed
in public office are traceable directly to
this permitted interference of Congress
men in appointments to office. And
when the evils break out and the mis-
chief is manifested, it is not the inter-
ering or debating Congressman, but the
Executive alone, who is heldresp ponsible
by an indignant people.
It is truism in political philosophy,
that whersoever the responsibility rests,
there corresponding power should be
conferred to meet it. 1t is upon this
principle that the Constitution has con.
ierred upon the Executive the power oi
appointment to office. But, by this usur.
patton on the part of Congressman, the
larger portion of the power is taken from
the Executive hands, but leaving there
all the responsibility. The thing is alto
gether wrong, and its condemnation BY
a National Convention has not come
moment too soon, nor been uttered in
phrase one particle too strong.
