reN Y. Herl1 and tina RspuA-
beAn candidate Of the Denocrsss a
Name for Governor are much exer-,
cised by reason Of fear that sems-
thing will be done to turn Mr.. Hayes
out Of an Office to which he was NOT
elected, and to give Mr.. Tilder his
own. If, as it is now not unlikely,
both Houses Of Congress should
within the next two years hold ma.
jorities of citizens who believe in
fair play, can see no reason why
strictly legal and constitutional in
quiry should not be made into the
merits of Mr.. Hayes elevation to
Office. To plain men it would seem
that he ought not to be allowed
to retain an Office which is not his
any more than he ought to be allowed
to keep bonds or greenbacks which
are not his. Let us have all the
light we can get on the subject.
Secretary Sherman has among the
many other debts payable in green
backs, stopped the payment of boun.
ties to soldiers of the late war and
their heirs. By this and similar acts
he is enabled to report an apparent
but not real reduction of the pub
lie debt each month. I mention the
bounty matter only to call the Sec
retary's particular attention to the
fact that the 14th amendment to the
Constitution-dear to every Repubi-
can hesrt-expressly denies to Con-
gress the power that he, o mere ser
vent of the people, assumes. This
amendment was doubtless the result
of a fear that disloyal" DEMOCRATS
would sometime get possession Of
the Government and interfere with
such payments. Yet see how soon
Republican Administration, claimed
to be made up of the better elements
of the party, disregards the most
solemn act in the party's history! It
is not only robbing the widow and
orphan, but in violating its own con-
stitutional amendment TO perfect the
robbery.
Messrs. Moody and Sankey have
after all decided to give up their
Washington engagement for the
coming season and to remain in New
England. Mr.. Moody says in his
final letter to the managing commit
tee in this city that after prayer on
the subject, he thinks he can do more
good there than here.
The spirit of reform, unsatisfied
with the manipulation of Federal
Offices has taken possession of our
District Government. Two of our
more important Offices have juk
