THE NEW POLITICAL POLICY.

administration in the removal Of United
States troops and the restoration of lo-
cal self~goyerpment in the states of
South Carolina. Louisiana and Florida,
and the order prohibiting otficehoiders

multiplied and varied interests. the
number of ofiiceholders which has al
ready swollen to the huge proportions
OF an army. render policy Of this sort
OF the utmost consequence to the best
interests of the country. General
Grant is not free from the reproach of
having wastefully and crininally used
the secret service fund of the govern
ment to control elections and keep his
party in power. and it may be safely
affirmed that it was the immense fed
eral patronage-in his hands, which led
TO the installation of the present adj
ministration against the expressed will
OF the people. An ofiiceholder should
not be the slave OF faction, but q
servant OF the whole people, and
not one dollar of the money
which he draws from the public
treasury as q just compensation for his
services, should be permitted to be sunk
IN the dirty cesspool of politics II is
estimated that there are now nearly
one hundred thousand persons who are
drawing salaries from the government,

The enormous sums of money which
have been collected in this way and
used IN the purchase OF ignorant voters
have already corrupted the country to a
shameful degree, and unless such prac-
tices are speedily put an end to, it will
sooner or later result in the complete
subversion of our free institutions. 1t
Is almost impossible to calculate the
amount of mischief which can be done
by one hundred thousand men, thor
oughly organized. and living upon
handsome salaries, drawn quarterly
from the national treasury. If Presi-
dent Hayes really intends to inaugurate
such apolicy as will cure this evil the
good men OF all parties and in all parts
Of our country will give him an earnest
and cordial support.
