The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-08-19

aH rival politicians would form perpetual
sngaE-adjusting plan of checks upon ,isurpa-
aium and balances of power. But the Heldel-
Hxrg school OF civil service reform 10 Carr
asalurs proposes to annihllate at one fell
ssgspon this entire product OF the wisdom OF
Asse fathers. and TO set up In its place bastard
SYSTEM or CHRONIC OFFICE HOLDING,
which is neither democratic nor monarehlcal,
E,st a sort of deformed hybrid between Ger
MAN philosophy aud Yankee enthusiasm. For
spy part am not convert TO this new gospel
al what may be called the Dutehilication Of
she United States. For example, take the
latest reported vagary Of our patent, infalli-
ale Dutchman, who, having originally fled to
ahese shores to save his neck from Ieti-
aonic hangman- who by the way, many sen
Rible people have now come TO regard as hav-
ing been cruelty defrauded- lattetly turns up
as universal pedagogue to instructth infant
school of America In the rudiments of the
science Of government This latest vagary
we are informed by the Washington corre-
asendent OF one of the Seburzian organs, is
"A PROPOSITION ~ RrarDhY EXCLUDE JOUR-
NAhIsrs FROM OFFICE HOLDING.
We are told upon the same authority that
sehurz pressed this proposition with his
usual vehemence and, when 1t was rejected
NY majority Of Che Cabinet, actually medi-
asted resignation; alleging that this step was
~an absolute necessity for the completion Of
asse reform programme" Well may we pause
IN ask what class OF Americans will not be
ultimately DISTINGUISHED by our late Teutonic
aefugee; indeed, titnid persons might be
seized with even a direr apprehension and go
about with bated breath inquirlng just whom
MIR. schurz proposed TO permit TO live at all IN
mia adopted countryl
| don't see how any self-respecting Ameti-
aaan can repress sense of Indignation either
nj The efrrontery of this refugee, who, within
n few years after his exit from the clutches
al despotism by the skin Of his shirt-tail, SO
ae speak, suddenly sets UP for
A TEACHER OF GOOD GOVERNMENT,
with the republic of Jefferson and Franklin
sw his kindergarten! Or, at the piddling
pussllanimity Of those Americans who hail
Aim as the specialized Messiah of politics, and
a,s,eh the hem of his breeches leg as the un-
ss,snred Sikhs used TO touch the tassel upon
ahe funeral canopy of Runjeet Singhl
Well it Ia given out that Mr.. Conkling in
bends to oppose the Administration. But
ann assured upon authority which / have
GENERALLY found accurate as TO ConlSling's
Uaarposes, that the lordly Senator does not de-
Sign to be indiscriminate In his opposition;
shat nothing Is further from him than an in
ssantion to play second fiddle to Blaine and
Morton In wake over the
LATE BUT NOT nAMENTED BLOODY SHIRT;
Baat that he will bounce the monstrous farce
az Mr. Schurz' proposed Dutchification of the
North American Continent with all his ener-
ESes. If this be strictly true, | think l can
safely promise Mr.. Conkling that the Democ-
racy will look on with interest, IL not with alb
splute sympathy for his side of the conflict;
sor the Democracy is essentially Demo-
cratic and surely Grantsm, In Its worst
day, never contemplated any such undemo-
cratic revolution In our system as that OF clo-
sing all the old avenues TO political honor and
preferment with such an unheard of Heidel-
Rurg scheme Of regulating flice-holding-fo for
all the world much after the fashion of regu-
Batting prostitution that prevails in some of
ahe European countriesl
This, and this alone, 80 far as | am able TO
ascertain win be
Esg OBJECT OF MR. ooNKnrNas ANTI-ADM1N-
IsTRATION WARFARE.
That he will find out its most vulnerable
points and assail them with consummate
strategy IL not to be doubted. Meantime
ahoee of the Democracy who do not ac-
siyely sympathize with him will
certainly keep quite aloof from sympathy
with Schurg and the fortunes of his Heidel-
burg scheme for the Dutchi6cation Of the
United States and his kindergarten system
a6 government.
1HR ASrAaoNIsM BETWEEN SEIZURE AND
ooNKLING
IN IN the nature OF feud, personal as well as
molitical, and so far as Conkling is concerned
ahcre can be no armstice. Schurz is not 50
vsnplacable He never had an enemy in his
&ie whom he would not take to his arms if
atse enemy would come TO him, confess his
error, and assure him that he was satisfied
ahat whatever minor differences of mental
and moral structure existed between
sehnrz and God Almighty were all to
@he manifest disadvantages of the latter
sSchurz would thereupon exclaim, "Ah, my
siear Shocks, indeed you appreciate me! 1t is
seldom that meet with due appreciation! !"
And then Shocks would be enrolled in the
hzight catalogue of the intimate personal
Eriends Of Mr.. Schurz at the head of which
rssalgent list stands the redoubtable Bill
&ssosyenor, now anancier and political econo-
Eaist, who was colonel in the army prior to
She finding of a oourt-martial.
REPUTATION.
The other day encountered a nervous,
sussy individual who is kept in a constant
asase OF misery by apprehensions lest he shall
hose a few dollars of swollen hoard
az bonds and the like He
Aegean to "ply me with inquiries respecting
2he tendency of the Southern States to repu-
dsiaia their debts" as he termed it. Upon
more minute inquiry found that the venera-
ne Shylock owned a small quantity of Geor-
gsa bonds, which, as he proceeded to tell me
with some emphasis and more pathos had
lately been repudiated in the most shameless
manner"
