THE LAST DITCH.

In former years, the President Of the
United States was considered the head
of the Government. In Andrew John.
sons time, the doctrine was adopted
that the Prcaident was the mere fac
totum Of Congress, and when Grant first
came into Office, he sought TO override
that doctrine by the appointment OF
Alex. 7. Stewart, as Secretary Of the
Treasury. in defiance Of the constitution
which disquslifies importers from hold
ing that position. Grant. therefore. fell
back into the trenches, and always af-
forwards chimed in with the Senate.
which, up to Hayes time was more
like Cuban junta than an,
thing else, and practically made it.
self the governing power CT the land.
BY . combination among themselves
they agreed to confihn all appointments
made at the instance Of each other, for
the several States, without questioning
either the eligibility or morality of the
appoiDtee.
This became serious nuisance in sill
the States. especially on the Pacific
Coast. For the sake Of keeping y
party machine in running order, Sar-
gent and Mitchell kept men in Office
who were VIGOROUSLY uufit for any
thing but their trade Of convention
packing AID the other dirty work of
party politics. Yet fer the sake Of
party these niscreants were supported
out of the public treasury by means of
surveying contracts, which had to oe
performed by hired deputies, owing to
the recipients ignorance, aud by means
Of mail contracts given to men who
having 10 money invested in steam
boats or stages. could blackmail steam
toatmen and stage owners without risk
Of losing anything.
Hayes saw that this system was per.
nicious because it perfected he machin-
cry OF party in such way as to make the
Senator above the President. He there
fore aimed ut = civil reform to abolish
1t and is slowly succeeding in looping
oil the hydra's heads. but it is slow
work. Most Of the Senators have agreed
with him for policy's sake. save Roscoe
Conkling, Of New York. who is max
ing war upon the President to kill
him OIL, and make room for Grant in
1880. 1t isa faint struggle, however,
and will not be endorsed either by the
Republican party or the nation at large.
The ONCE holder should be free citi-
zen. and not the chsttel of his Senator.
Conkling is . bold man, but we think
this is his last ditch" Right there he
dies.

iy Pickett is on the make and tried in
this case to sell that which he could not
deliver. Litchfeld, the returning board
clerk, who was so swift witness for tn e
Democrats proves to be thief and a liar,
who boasted, after having been discharg-
ed from an official position for corrup-
ton, that he would get even with the Re-
publicans yet. 1t is not believed that the
evidence Of these scoundrels will in any
manner effect the Republican case in
Louisiana. All depends in that state on
the power of the returning board, and
theirfdelity to the laws Of the state which,
can not be impeached by the evidence
of confessed felons.
