The democratic victory in Indiana has
given Mr. Hendricks position in the party,
which excites some natural alarm, since he
is the recognized exponent Of the soft-money
heresy. The Washington correspondent of
the New York Post telegraphed last week
Private letters received here from London say
that the syndicate will not make any further sub
scription 10 the four and half per cent loan, or
authorize another call Of iive-twcnty bonds until
it is definitely known whether Hayes or Tilden is
to be the next President II the latter succeeds
the letters say there will be no more bonds taken
until It is clearly demonstrated that the demo-
cratic party do not intend 10 unsettle the finances
by putting out more paper money, increase the
debt by paying disloyal claims, and wipe out, so
FAR rs may lie in their power, the law relating to
resumption Of specie payments. Treasury Of
iccrs here do not believe the syndicate will sub
scribe TO another dollar Of the four and half per
centum bonds II the democratic party carry the
election in November
To this Mr.. August Belmont replied
through the World
No such letters as the Post describes could have
been received either here or in Washington, else
certainly the Messrs. Rothscliild, the principal
managers Of the syndicate in London, rs my house
| is here, would have informed me of the existence
Of such a state Of feeling. The whole story is a
miserable partisan canard.
A later dispatch afIrms the accuracy Of
The Posts information, and says that such
/ letters have been received not only in Wash.
ington, but in New York. 1t is Of course to
be expected that capitalists would regard
with great interest so important an event as
a change of administration, and would de
sire to understand its full significance before
entering into any new negotiations with tho
United States government and it must be
admitted that the prominence of Mr.. Hen
bricks in the democratic party and the
proposition TO repeal the resumption act are
not encouraging circumstances.

Cot Valentine Baker, Of railway carriage note,
is now regularly engaged in the War Ofice at
Constantinople, and is busy organizing plan for
the remodelling Of the whole Turkish cavalry
II his scheme is followed out, the Ottoman mounted
branch of the service will become one Of the
finest bodies Of mounted troops in the world
Part of the proposed scheme is that, at any rate
for some years To come, commands in both cavalry
regiments and squadrons are only TO be given TO
English officers, or to officers trained in Engish
cavalry regiments. It is believed that TINS ar
nngement will not only give employment 10
considerable number OF half-pay English cavalry
officers in Turkey, but will also induce many
young Turkish officers TO go to England for tram
ing in cavalry regiments.

The Democratic Hsase ol Representa-
tives, in It's zeal for csyil-service reform,
passed bill intended 50 prevent the en-!
ployes OF the Government from being as
sessed for party purposes and compelled TO
contribute money to be used in carrying
elections for the Republicans. The follow
ing is the section as 1t passed the two
Houses:
'That all executive officers or employees
Of the United States not appointed by the
President, with the advice and consent, OF
the Senate, are prohibited from requesting,
giving to, or receiving from any other OH
Ger or employee OF the Government any
money, or property, or other thing OF value
for political purposes; and any such officer
or employe who shall offend against the
provisions of this section shall be at once
discharged from the service OF the United
States, and he shall also be deemed guilty OF
misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof
shall be fined in sum not exceeding
$780,"
1t is evident that this section is failure.
1t prohibits the payment OF money to be
used for political purposes to officers and
employees of the Government, but not to
| anybody else. All that is necessary to the
eyasiot, OF the law is that the man who asks
for and receives the money shall be prl.
vate citizen. The conference committees
OF the two bodies are responsible for the
blunder. The House bill was different.
Political assessments are a part Of the
regular machinery Of the two parties, and
it will be found next to impossible to gel
rid OF them. They are highly Objectionable,
and cannot be justified by sound argument;
yet they will probably continue to be made
so long as the ministerial officers OF the
State and General Governments hold their
places at the will OF the heads OF the cXecu
tive departments. In fact we have done
the officials in question orer-much honor II
calling them ministerial officers" The
good sense OF the public has invented ;
word which describes them quite accurately
They are dubbed +" ofice-holders," no
"officers." Ex-Governor PEIRpoINT, whe1
asked to sign petition for the pardon OF
man who had been clerk in one Of the de
partments at Washington before the wal
and had afterwards taken part in aid OF TIT
rebellion" said that the person needed
no pardon, as he had never been AN Off
Ger" Of the Government any more thar
his boot-black was an officer. Thu
helplessness OF these officials, many O
whom are much more fit TO be TIT
heads OF bureaus or departments thar
the persons who occupy these positions
demands sympathy and calls for a reform II
the civil service which shall render then
, independent OF the mere partisans who tenn
: porarily fill the high places OF the Govern
, ment.. The law ought to protect the valued
, and faithful servants Of the people who Oils
charge the duties OF their several importan
places with fidelity and zeal. The methot
OF giving this protection under our Fedora
Constitution is problem which, if elected
. even Mr.. TJLpEN will find it difficult t.
solve.

THE Presidents Power.

Personal government or despotic gov
ern,nent--which shall we have? Or are the
two phrases but differing names for the
same thing? Is Mr.. GRANT to be both the
Executive and the Legislative departments
Of the Government Dir. BOUTWELL, calls
for a despotism--a powerful centralized,
consolidated despotism that will remand
States into territorial condition when
they dlsp'ease the powers that be at Wash
ington. General GRANT no doubt thinks
that we already have Government OF that
sort. and so he deliberately informs Con-
sress that though they have appropriated
money for the improvement OF number OF
small rivers, he will take care that the money
shall not go out OF the Treasury! The two
houses might have saved themselves q good
deal OF trouble if they had known little
sooner the will OF His Majesty. He certain
" ought to have told MORTON or CoSKLISG.
The case is bad enough for GRANT with
out any explanation. But there are certain
facts connected with it which render II
much worse. When the river and harbor
bill was pending in the Senate, motion
was made once or oitener to make lump.
ing matter OF it and appropriate five mil
lions OF dollars to be expended on such
works rs the proper executive officers
might deem most important. This motion
was voted down. This vote was precisely
equivalent to q declaration that the Senate
intended itself to indicate the direc
ton which the money should take
1t was plain intimation thai
it was for the legislative department to say
upon what rivers the Governments money
should be expended. The House cvidentl!
took the same view OF the subject. Indeed
similar motion was voted down in tina
body also, we think. 1t was in the face o
these declarations on the part OF Congress
that GRANT sent in to that body on Monda.
his insulting message.
Now, think what that message means:
means that Democratic House Shall no
appropriate money to the Improvement 0
rivers in Democratic States or Dcmocratl
districts without GRANTS consent. 1t mean
that Radical President will spend as niue
money as he plcascs IN a Radlcal stat
or district, but will allow none to be cS
pended on districts which fail to indlcat
their approval OF his administration. L
state these propositions is to condem
GRANT and all his aiders and abettors in thl
matter.
To show that it is usurpation OF powe
on General GRANTS part it is only necci
sary to state that il he has the RICH
thus to emascillate law after 1t M
PASSED both houses and receive
his own signature, then all the tai
about having the constitution amende
so us to confer upon the President the di:
eliminating veto has been wasted CAB, ii
already has the discriminating veto, thi
being nothing more nor less than the powe
to approve such features OF bill as he like
and to disapprove such features OF it rs h
does not like. What need has His Males
OF any.othcr or better discriminating vet
than he already has?
