Influences of CORRUPT EXAMPLE.

The New York Sun draws the follow
ing severe but just indictment against
President Grant:
Legislation of no kind, however strin-
gent or well intended, can be expected to
correct abuses which are the natural out,
growth of corrupt. reckless, and partisan
administration of the Government. While
the President had advisers around him,
appointed either because they subscribed
money for his benefit, or chosen because
of their personal servility and untitness,
venality and iobbery will flourish as they
have done on a stupendous scale ever
since Grant came into power.
He is the first President of the United
States who ever openly associated with
notorious plunderers; who made personal
companions and contidants of notorious
characters like Boss Shepherd, Mcdonald,
Joyce and that crew who gave to Ring
chiefs official protection and social recog-
nition and who has deliberately prostitut-
ed his great trust for the advantage of po-
litical scoundrels who ought to be crack
ing stone in the penitentiary.
The influence ofthis pernicious example
has spread through and infected thewhole
official and social organization at Wash
ington, with rare exceptions like that of
Mr. Bristow, until the astounding specta-
Gle is presented to the world of Govern
ment protesting to be free, plain and hon
est, ruled by Rings and knaves. If the
President was pure, conscientious, and
resolute for the right, such system could
not possibly stand, or have ever attained
its present growth.
Between avarice on the one hand and
ambition on the other, he has encouraged
the authors and abettors OF these iniqui-
ties until the administration has become
nothing but huge conspiracy to debauch
and plumber the government committed
to its keeping. Its whole power through
every agent it can command, and by every
means however desperate, even to the sub
orning of witnesses and stealing of papers,
is openly exerted to-day, not in prosecut-
ing Babcock, but in protecting him, with
a full knowledge Of his guilt.
The motive is palpable enough. Bah
cock will not consent to fall alone. He
can never be convicted and sent to the
penitentiary without dragging down 9TH
ers higher and more important than he
is. Hence, he will never go there, even
if found guilty. Grant would like to be
spared the necessity of a pardon, but if
the pinch comes, he will as surely grant
it as he pardoned Hodge for stealing half
a million within sight of the White House.
a radical change Of administration Of
fers the only remedy for the existing cor
ruption. Without that there is no hope
for reform in any true sense. Even if
Grant was dismissed, and replaced by an
other Republican of better antecedents
and repute the evils would not be extir-
pated, because the system itself is pois-
oned with the virus of Grantism. The
politicians form close corporation inside
the party, and direct its management
They are the power behind the throne
Therefore it is necessary to overthrow the
party as the first step toward a return to
honest and simple government. That we
hope to DO next November.n

The Babcock Case.

We are unable to announce the verdict
in the Babcock case, as it would not be
given to the jury until Wednesday night.
The Presidents deposition, which occu-
pies several columns in the papers, was
read to the jury. Col. Brodhead, in the
closing argument for the prosecution,
made terrible arraignment of Babcock,
from which there seems no possible es-
cape. Yet it is believed that administra-
ton influence will be too much for one or
two members OF the jury, and that there
will be no agreement. a Washington
despatch of Monday says
A gentleman, who was a witness in the Bah
cock case, arrived here to-day, and says that
the general belief in ST. Louis is that the Jury
will stand eleven for conviction to one for ac-
quittal, or ten for conviction to two for acuuit-
tai. The theory is, that the defence somehow
controls one or two jurors, without regard to
the evidence presented in court. The eXpecta-
ton of this gentleman is that Babcock will thus
escape conviction "by the skin of his teeth.'
The feeling in ST. Louis is very strongly against
BabcOck.
