I,oran---The Administration.
1,oeAN having declined the second Office
offered him by President HATES we may
son;ect,le that he will not be solicited to
take third. What is the matter with Lo--
GAN very smart Journalists confess they DO
not understand. The Chicago Times thinks
ne declined the collectorship Of that port
because nc has views Of "going West" I'M
der the impression that Colorado or some
other State will be kind to him, and return
him to the United States Senate--a positloh
from which he may expect promotion: 10
CANS vanity being sufficient to cause hitn
to dream OF even the presidency. :
We conjecture that he expected some
b;cber Office than the President has YET
rendered to him. He could not come down 20
ANYTHING SO much below his own sense OF
his consequence. He looked for an EN-:
hsssv to some OF the highercourtso Of Europe<
Rather than settle himself down below the
high position be Thought equal to his great
merit he will take the chances Of a row and
new deal, trusting that his luck may bring
him up again. But, poor LOGAN, he is one
of tho large class Of men who could onfy
get to tue surface in such time as that
through which the country has passed COM
ing up as things Chat rise by the force OF the
gas engendered by their own impurity. He
has :. drappea. efs,n and clown he goes. lie
nav; rival. the horned owl in hootins in the
..far Vest, but he will hardly come back
20 .hoot +" in Washington. vi. l."
1t is gratifying and at the same time
illustrative OF the salutary revolution IN
nationa, politics that such as LOGAN are
thrust aside and driven TO discomfort
and painful uncertainty 2a as to- what
they shall do and what chances they have.
President HAYES has done What he could to
> heal the discomfort that has been accustomed
among the .sbloody" malignants by his
policy of restoring to the States the right To
local self-government. We: believe, that in
thus treating them the President has erred
He has not, mended matters by .concilia;
tory advances towards the MoRToNs, The
BLA1NEs, the L0GANS, The grnmblers
in party on account OF the clearly jus'
policy of an, Adpinistration never make
headway.,c For every maicontent whoexfo,
liates on such grounds, two warm support
ers will rally to the support Of that policy
while no concessions that can be made will
satisfy such grumblers as long as the cause
of their, discomfort is unrevoked or tunre-
moved - f.. ~. 81 = p :. ~ 80. 49,.
Mr.. HAYES, by exerting means to con-
cillate such persons, rather repels reinforce
ments from the liberal and just minded
public men. and wins, if he wins at all,
men who cannot sincerely forgive him fol
Injecting into his policy that great enemy
of ul,ra-rcpubllcanism: justice. But Presl'
dent HAYES is at school. He is constantly
learning something; and supPeslns him tc
be man OF integrity and, sincerity, before
he gets through his term of service, he vii
acquire knowledge of public affairs, and
7of the sordid and selfish politicians that will
be to him surprising and to his country, in
valuable, since we are sure he will give the
country the benefit Of his knowledge
