He filed subordinate places in the same man.
ncr. pleasing his friends without much regard
TO anybody's wishes except theirs and his
own, and dcmoralizing every department OF
the Government by this process of dividing the
plumber. The common excuse for the old SPOTS
system ir politics was that it consolidated ana
gave yigor to the party but that palliation
certainly could not be pleaded for poor Dir.
Borie, for Shepherd, BabcOck, Harrington,
Lcet, Sanborn, Richardson, Cramer, for the
nomination of Williams and Cushing to the
ief-Justiccship, for the rabble of poor rela-
tons sent to fattcn on the Indians, or the
crowd of undcrbrcd adventrrers who congrc-
gated mt Long Branch and the White House to
talk horse and dispose of CustOm-houses.
Nothing in fact was more remarkable IN zen.
Grants method Of filling Offices than the Inno-
cent comp0sure with which he assumed that
these places were his own property, to
give or to take away for reasons
that concerned only himself. He throw
commissions in the civil service to HI ,avor-
ties pretty much as Louis XIV. gave away
patents of nobility to his misrcsscs. The re-
suit was what might have been expected.
The service became so vile that almost every
rank OF society was infected 10y It's coIiuplloh
honest men turned with disgust from the de-
generate party; nothing but the incredible
folly of the opposition saved Republicanism
from a complete and perhaps final overthrow;
the new President goes into office by majority
so slender that it has taken four months to
count it, and Gen. Grant passes the last days
Of his term in the humiliating occupation OF
pardoning his pet gaugers out OF jail.
1t is impossible to dismiss the closing Adj
ministration without these unrescrvcd com
mcnts upon its conspicuous fault. But we
should Eo grossly unjust to Gen. Grant II we
did not give him credit for motives which
were always innocent and sometimes distinctly
noble. In the most serious OF his mistakes we
believe he has never done a conscious wrong.
If he built up a personal rule it was because
he honestly supposed that was the right way
to govern. If he pushed the vicious into high
place. it was because they deceived HIM.
When the bad effects Of his errors have been
removed the errors themselves will quickly
fade from recollection, and the essential III
tcglity and truthfuncss of Gen. Grants char
actcr will be fully recognized. In private life
we believe he will be regarded with universal
kindness and good will and history, viewing
his deeds in the mellow light of distance, Will
give him not merely the praise OF great
commander but the higher tile Of patriot.

RUSSIA STILL UESITiTING.

In the absence of any decisive event, the air
of Europe is again clOuded with the usual ri
mors, the most of which seem to be circulated
only for the purpose of being cOntIadcted the
next day. No intelligent opinion can be
founded upon them: it is best to wait for such
scattered indications of action as come from
authentic sources. The report OF the demobIl-
ization Of the Russian army, absurdly lmpToD-
able as it was seems to have obtained two
DAYS crcdence; but we have not been Obliged
To wait long for the denial Now we are H.
formed that Gen. Ignatlef, late Russian en-
bassadOr to Turkey, is about to visit the diff
fcrcnt capitals, in order to give the Powers a
verbal explanation of Russia's future policy
and it is gravcly added that his mission of
50 fers the Powers an excuse, at which Russia
cannot take offcnse, for delaying their re-
"plies" to the circular of Prince G0rtci2k01.
This is as much as to say that RuSsia, not
having yet received any excuse from the Pow
ers. is now herself preparing one for them!
The only facts, thus far, are the following:
Peace is virtually concluded between Turkey
and Seryia; the prolongation of the armlstice
with Montenegro almost insures the paciica-
ton of that little State; and Russia's inten-
u
universal desire throughout Europe for
peaccful settlement of the difficulty accounts
for the abundance Of pacific rum0rs; but While
the Russian army remains masscd in Bcss-
arabia, and the preparations for its transport
are still going on, little dependence can be
placed upon the greater part OF the news we
receive by cable, from day to day. One posi-
bity. however, may explain Rllssia'S singular
hesitation. If she has reason to believe that
new revolution in ConstantlnOple Is imminent,
she can afford to wait for its chances. The
elements thereof are on hand: Turkish poll
ties move in dark ways and develop them
selves suddenly and violently. After the his
tory of the past nine months, no change Of
rulers or of policy ought to surprise us, for
each CONFUSION adds to the amount of intlam-
mable material We do not believe that Russia
means quietly to acquiesce in the accomplished
facts. Her apparent reluctance to move Is
much more likely to mean cunning than
al.

HOW MANY rs N BEEBR!

In the mlu,t o. the confusion, high above the
uproar Bccbe, mounted on desk, waved ms
wild arms with the strenuous motion OF laGc
windm II, and howled with the unqucnchab!e
anguish of a st0rm-drven mule. Up to this
time the country, which in various capacities
he has assiduously served whenever called on
for at least sixteen years, hardly knew Bccbe
if we may be allowed the eXpresSi0n-from
side of sole leather II was worth going
through all the tempestuOus scenes of Thurs
day in the House to have Becbc revealed
to US Among all the remarkable gOings- on
of that stormy session there WAS nothing so
impressive as the abrupt and precipitate ap-
pcarancc of Becbc on a desk. 1t is to be re-
gretted that Becbe's remarks were lost in the
confusion; up to this hour no one knows what
Berbe definitely wanted except to out-howl
his fellow patriots who were engaged on the
floor in a determined effort to reform the Gov
eminent from the lnaluc. Dul thou|h WE nave

he cried Fire" or " Auction" or :" Man over

porter we have his attitude in all its pic

duccd, as of Il great outspread lowering clamor.
So much goes into history.

not willingly lose sight of him. but this

by way of illustration. Mr.. Thomas Potter,
an early New England grocer, who kept his
accounts by queer system of hicroSlyphics,
employed upon one occasion M accountant 10

ran thus: "B. b. b. Is. b. B."-six BIS and
nothing besides. "Mr. Potter" said the puz-

"for Beebe." No doubt there were men in
Congress on Thursday who pretend TO be IA
miar with history and to know who's who in

denness and lOftincss and lOudness Of our
own Beebe of the XIVth District "a
Mr.. Potter was over his six Bs.
The truth is they didn't know how
many bees there were in Beebe For our
Bccbe is a perfect hive of them. With two
bees in his name, manifcstly one in his bon
"nct," and, as is generally believed by all who
saw him perform on the desks at least one in
the seat of his trousers, there cOuldnt very
well be anything else but q lively time
when they all got warmed up to their work.
Mr. Josh Billings, we believe it was. who re-
marked that one hornet with his business end
in working order could break up a whole camp
meeting. The wonder is that Becbc, whose
business end seems to be his chin, which that
day was in ncommonly good working order,
didn't break up Congress.
May we suggest, now that the count is fin
ished and the Democrats are out of a job, that
they can hardly do better than resume inyesti-
gating7 They have already discovered that
the Government is honeycombed with corrup.
ton; suppose they find out how many bees
there are in Beebe And when they find out,
they can't DO better than to hive them.

THE END.

The country draws long breath. Relief
has come, and peace. The weary struggle
which began in effect more than year ago,
which took definite form early in July Of last
wear, which has stfed business and cloggcd
the wheels of industry for many months, and
pushed thousands of firms into the gulf Of
bankruptcy, has ended at last. A splendid
era of prosperity glds the horizon with the
GLOW of dawn. Millions of patient workers
have waited with sore hearts for that better
day millions of weary wives and hungry
children have lived on hope until political
wranglcrs could bring their long contest To an
end. But it ends at last in a triumph Of jus
tee and law, of national honor and prosperity.
The country TcjOIces to-day, not only be-
cause the struggle is over, but because 1t does
not end in the success of Mr.. Tilden and his
supporters. A great revulsion OF public opin-
ion toward him and his party has taken place
since his nomination, and even since the cleo
ton. Disclosures respecting his own cOnd let
have been such as to destroy almost com
pletely the confidence which many felt that
genuine reform was possible through his i'll
auguratOn. His party as whole and par
ticularly that portion of it which represented
his will most nearly, has utterly Disguised the
country by its behavior. Not since the dark
est DAYS of 1861 has the Democratic party
displayed such lack of decency, honor. or
patriotism, such disregard Of the prosperity Of

As was naturally to he expected, the reports
of the Silver Commission show radical dis
agreement The members of the Commission
had for She most part committed Themselves
to the advocacy of single or double stand
ard beforehand, and it does not appear that
their views have been changed by further
study Of the subject. The two reports are ex-
cccdngly interesting for comparison, as show
ing how people i'll possession Of the same facts
can come to exactly opposite conclusions,
and support their views by an array of
arguments. Practically the matter stands just
where it did before the Commission considered
it but it is now evidently question not to
be decided oif-hand 10y experts. There will
be plenty of time to discuss it before the next
session of Congress, and the country can better
afford to let matters stand as they are
than to attempt change while the sub
iect is imperfcctly understood Meanwhile an
international conference, as urged IN the
minority report, seems the most practical
method yet devised for bringing wisdom and
experience to bear in solving the question.

Now that there is no IL ore work for the
Electoral Commission to do, the work IL
has done can be judged moro fairly. Already
the passions of men are cooling i'll the univer-
sal acceptance of the ascertalned result. vi
all the members of the Commission, no one
deserves more generous treatment at the hahoS
of the American people than Judge Bradley
for no one has been assaulted with greater viz
ulonce. Being the fifth Judge, he became the
man on whom tie Democrats relied for YER
diet. and because he refused it he has been
abused by the Democratic press and Demo-
crate Congressman i'll manner wholly III
decent and outrageous. From attacks OF TINS
kind he needs no defense. A letter III another
column, however, gives some interesting 1actS
in his career as a judge, and some account OF
certain celebrated decisions in which the posi-
ton Judge Bradley noY takes was then set
forth, all of which will strengthen his recent
action with the people.

No doubt the cable monOpolistS will feel
encouraged By the legal decision which makes
it obligatory on the Direct Company to appoint
a conference committee to discuss the advisa-
bility of uniform rates. Mr.. Pender, the lead
ing "fusonist," is British member of Parlla-
mcnt, who is the guiding spirit Of four
telegraph companies whose shares are all
considerably below par. He made a large
fortune in yarns, and owes his seat III
the House of Commons to the Duke OF Snth-
prland, whose tenants are his constituents. 1t
is said that he induced the Duke to engage
in raw silk speculation, saying that there
would be certainly a handsome profit. The
affair turned out an ugly loss and when Mr..
Pender asked his ducal partner for TI5,OOO
to cover his share of it, the Duke sent HIM
instead a note reminding him that he went
into the enterprise solely on his assurance
that it would yield liberal return. 1t is not
pleasant to feel that tho American pubic may
have to pay toll to this speculative individual.
Our own and the Canadian Government ought
20 renew their opposition to the threatened
monopoly.

If business men do not favor the establish
mcnt of Department of Commerce, probably
faw do who are not anxious to break into the
Treasury in search of salary. committee
Of the Produce Exchange have reached the
sensible conclusion that such department
would bring expense without benefit. Upon
this subject, the business men are entitled to an
opinion, and it will command respect
