THE DEMOCRATIC DISC USES.

The great misfortune of the Democratic
party as at present constituted Is the necessity
which compes it to wear dsguises. Next to
that, its inability TO keep on disguise for
sufficient length of time TO accomplish the OBJ
iect sought. 1t is bad for the party, and in
fnitely worse for the country, that 1t was com
pc]led to simulate desire for reform in the
civil service in order 10 get into power.
1t was worse thing for the party,
though good thing for the country,
that the disguise of reform, under which Il
little Congressional patronage was secured
became at once irbsome and disagreeabe and
WAS thrown off without ceremony. 1t dis
closed the real spirit of the parry that had
been protesting so loudly and promising so
generously that politics should be purified and
the methods and practices OF Government re-
formed. The record of the party was 80 bad, and
in tho face of it, its protestations and promises
seemed so absurd, that for long time little heed
was paid to them, the people preferring to
iudge a party by what it had done III the past
rather than what it promised to do IN the
future. 1t was only when Republican admin
istration got to be so reckless and corrupt that
people decided that any change must be an
Improvement, that the Democrats III their re-
form disguise were admitted TO tasto OF
power. The taste was enough to utterly de-
moraize them. No party ever so suddenly throw
down the weapons with which it had won a
ski.mish and broke INTO the wild disorder of
spoils distributing and camp plundering. They
could not wait for the more abundant
plunder beyond, for which they must retain
their weapons and keep their DISCUSSES. They
had won an outpost and were lost. For
the petty spos of the small success
they flung away all that was beyond it. We
gave them the House of Representatives to
try their hand on. 1t was not largo oppor-
tunity for plumber, but 1T was fine field on
which to exhibit the spirit and purpose OF re-
form. and illustrate at once the sincerity OF
their professions and their capacity for meet
ing the responsibilities Of power We all know
what they have given us wild rush for
offices sweeping system of removals, regard
, less of fitness, capacity, or integrity success
sion of discreditable appointments and as
worthless a rabble of pothouse politicians put
in place "a ever fiocked to the Capitol upon a
change Of administration.
The average of the Civil Service under
Democratic administration is Fitzhugh. Take
FjtzLueb and HambletOn and the journal clerk
caught violating law, and the rest OF the polit-
ical "bummcrs" who have been lifted up on
this Democratic wave into official positions, and
you have fair picture of wGat these people
mean by Civil Service Reform, and what the
| Civil Service would be under their distribution
Of patronage. Tho exposure is complete. No
man can look at tho character OF the newly
appointed officials of Democratic Congress
and any longer doubt what would be
the tone of official life in the country
under such q rule. Look at the Con-
gressional ltt end then give o guess al

The old scandals of the Moiety system when

"liChted by gas, where this business Is done -
and told that he had incurred penalties OF fine
and imnrisonmem and forfeited invoices "
the amount of $1,750,O0O; and under the
pressure of alarm he agreed to COMPROMISE
which. as he afterward told committee III
Washington ho certainly would not have done
had he known what it was that the Govern
ment actually claimed. Now the particular
scene to which we have referred occurred III
the Naval Officers room at the Custom
house and is described in the evidence
given before the Ways and Means Com
mittec two years ago by Judge Moan
Davis. 1t was q meeting of the moiety-
hunters TO determine how much Phelps, Dodge
a. Co. could be made to pay. There was Mr'
A. II. Latin (who insisted upon half miilioh);
thero was Mr.. Jayne; there were the Collector
and Surveyor; and there, as next friend or
professional adviser to Mr.. Lailin, was Senator
Conkling. "The fact that he was there in
connection with the other gentlemen" said
Mr.. Dodge, "showed what an array there was
"against u.s."
We do not question Mr.. Conkllngs right
either TO act as counsel in such case, or TO
give friendly advice to Mr.. Latin, or Mr.
JAYNE, or the other parties concerned IN
the outrage: but no man who was connected
with the moiety-hunters during the custom
house saturnalia of the Jayne period need
hope for friendly consideration from the mer-
chants of New-York. Our merchants feel TOO
deeply the wrongs and insults to which they
were subjected Mt that time to forget them so
readily. Nor arc they the only class who are
still disposed to resent these proceedings. The
pillaging of the importers was only one of the
ugly features in an administrative system
which the whole public has learned to con-
dcmn as sordid, debasing, and corrupt; and
the country hls determined that it will have
no more of suct system and will tolerate 10
longer the politicians who lent it cOuntenance.

An illustration of their peculiar senstiveness, we
may mention the frequent protests which we nave

in itself no suggestions of indignity. We must say
that our observation has not led to the conclusion
that there exists in this country any particular nos

every other class they exhibit many different phases
of manners and character and culture. Some OF

There never was anything like the serenity of Mr.
William Lloyd Garrison's old age. After life
passed in controversy, and especially in denouncng
all political parties as hopelessly wicked and cor
unt Mr.. Garrison is now full of charity, except for
those he does not like Indeed his views OF politics
have undergone an extraordinary change. AT the
Woman Suffrage Convention IN Boston on Monday
ho was very much shocked at a resolution when
spoke of the scandalous corruption peryadlng the
publio life of America He declared 1T to be MS
opinion that " VIC were purer in our pubic AFFAIRS
than we ever Lad been." There isn't probably an
other man in the United States who thinks so; ana
that must be great comfort to Mr. Garrison. Mr.
Wendell Phillips also grows ainiable win dilier-
ence. He cannot be altogether laudatory, Dut ne
does his level best. For instance he said substa-

A pOstpOnement of the Belkpap impeach-
-ment trial till the close of the session, and
perhaps till an extra session of the Senate,
seems every way probable. There is heavy
pressure of unfinished work, especially on the
appropriation bills and much trouble will en-
sue if they are delayed beyond June 30-thc
end of the fiscal year. Perhaps before tho
Senators again sit down to the Beknap case
they will be less evenly divided than at pres
ent. If tho vote were taken now it is scarcely
possible that the requisite tw0-thirds could be
found favOring impeachment.
The Presby terian General Assembly at Brook
lyn and the Methodist COnference at Baltimore
both adjourned yesterday. The sessions OF
these bodies have been characterized by un-
usual harmony, and the measures looking to-
ward union of the Northern and Southern
Presbyterian Assemblies are in this respect
marked advance. Part of this brOtherly feel
ing is no doubt due to the influences of the
Centennial year; but another portion, and
large one, must be counted among the effects
of the services of Messrs. Moody and Sankey,
which brought so many ministers Of different
denominations together in earnest work for a
common cause.
