THE SLY SYSTEM,

A government that bases its claims up
on divine right or conquest, and is in con-
slant dread of revolutionary movements,
may through the necessity ofselEpreserva-
ton resort to thedemoralizing aid Of spies,
but in country like ours, this kind Of
service is unnecessary and infamous. The
spy system is altogether alien to our free
institutions. 1t is odious to the Ameri-
can people and to the whole Anglo-Saxon
race from which our institutions, our Ian.
guage and the largest element of our blood
is derived. The most painful evidences
Of the evil Of this system in its corruption
of society in the Capital of the nation, is
made manifest in the recent evidences with
which our public men have availed them
selves of the services Of spies. We have
seen the use that has been made of secre
spies, agents Of high officers Of the Ameri
can govergment at Washington for cir
cumventing their..personal antagonists, dis
covering their plans and plotting for theil
destruction. Although the damaging sys

cisty, and unless it is checked, must IN
evitably turn back the wheels Of civiliza-
ton, and plunge American society into
anarchy. There is no doubt about un-
known mischief having been done by ex-
agerated and false reports Of interruptions
spies, only concerned to justify the suspl-
cisns to which they served their employ
ment. We see in the case Of Babcock
and whiteley, how ready the spy may be
to betray his employer, and expose his
schemes when the safety of the spy, or a
large bribe may interfere with their fdel-
a.

when he cody vS1ks up tsV benz anu

lars, with such N elegant spssimen cf in
corruptibility for his boadsnan a. ex-Boss
Shepherd, and the only surprise u that
the court should have accepted as security
a man who is deeper in official dishonesty
than those the court has Just indicted.
The outrage of this burglary has never
been equalled, save by the csol impu'
dencs and insolence of Babcock in this
last evidence of his dishonesty. If Cen
eral Grant is determined to be surrounded
by thieves, in all the high Offices that he
has within his gift it il great pity that
he does not pick genteel ones; those who
know how to steal and will not DO the
jobs in such bungling way as to be de-
tected in the smallest, most pitiful and
despicable grabs that could snut the re-
cord of government official. We have
confirmation now that Babcock is dis
honest man and that the mushy senti-
mality of acauittal at 81. Louis, is no
more; this last act has stamped him not
only as dishonest. but a keen, crafty,
insolent thief, who can steal, and then
have the face to wait around the court
house, expecting to hear Of his indict-
ment, and fellow knave near at hand to
60 upon his bail bond.
This is all the evidence of that peculiar
kind of American politics known as Grant
ism, which has been the odium upon Amer
ca and all its institutions, that which has
poisoned official honesty, that which has
countenanced dishonesty in relations, and
winked and connived at peculation among
those who are its counselors, and if the
branches and ofshoots of this trunk are
rotten, then the trunk must have it's de-
fec.s, and the sooner the axe Of honesty
gets to work and casts it out, the better it
will be for the country.

THE SAFE BURGLARY.

The Washington safe burglary case has
proven matter Of more serious conse-
quenee than was at first thought. 1t was
adroitly done, but was nevertheless a
bungle, under the keen scents Of Demo
cratic investigation, and it has undergone
searching examination, until the wh ole
Of the game has been bagged; or in other
words, Messrs. Harrington, Babcock, Whit
Icy, Benton, Miles, Nettleship, and Som
erville, have been indicted. We are in
formed by telegraph that General Babcock
expected the result, and was on hand tc
give bail when the announcement was
made. This is surely most wholesome
state of cheek and insolence to exist amoue
the high officers Of our Government. The
Presidents private secretary knows that
he'll guilty, and sits in the court room and
awaits an indictment from the grand jury,

THE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT


Mr.. Hayes has resigned his place in
Council, and to our mind, the reasons as
signed are sufficient. He charges upon
the municipal government, waste and ex-
travagance; and in proof says the float
ing debt Of the city has been increased
since last year. This is met fatty by Mr..
McIntire, who is gentleman usually cor
rect, and we'll informed. To this contra
diction Mr.. Hayes was unable to reply
BY figures, We promise to fully, fairly
and fearlessly examine, and state the facts
without comment of any kind, and per-
NIT the great jury Of tax payers to draw
their own inference. We fail to see where
there has been any extravaganza, there is
no whisper of a charge of missappropria
tion, or waste, and surely it is not fair to
condemn party, because its members
were the instruments, in carrying on q
great public work, commenced by the Re.
publican City Council. Fair play all
around is all we ask.
