why is the MOralist Silent,

Dr. j. q. HOLLAND, otherwise and better
known las TUrPER HOLLAND, exhibits
greatagitation in his magazine at the
prospect. that was yesterday realized, OF
the Silver bills becoming a law. He calls
the attempt to rcmonetilc silver stupen-
deus fOolishncss,' "A shocking business,
an "abominablc scheme" and horrible
lapse from the national dignity and honor
These are certainly as hard words as the
occasion requires. We 80 far agree with
TUPPER HOLLAND, however as To be- con
WINGED that the advocates Of the Silver bill
are IN the wrong that they have already
damaged the credit and business interests
Of the country, and that if they succeed in
their attempt they will endanger ts future
prosperity.
But why if the reconciliation Of silver
wrings from him such violent language, do
We hear no word from this outraged moral
i-l in condemnation Of the unparalleled
wruu9 dome the people by the consprators
vino shut the doors Of the White House
against the man the people elected as their
President and let in the man they rcpu-
diatodi This was a great crime infinitely
cXcccding the Silver bill in the worst view
that can possibly b. taken Of it, and no
moral teacher does his duty if lac keeps
silent in regard to it, If it had been allowed
to go unrcbukcd, as TUPrER HOLLAND lets
it 20, no one can calculate the evil conse-
qucncos to the country which would have
flowed from it, Our Institutions are of

Efforts to Save Anderson.

We learn that since the sentence Of An
pEIssoN to the pententiary and hard labor,
the efforts to secure his pardon have been
pressed from Washington with singular
energy and interest. HAYES, SHERMAN, and
the whole fraudulent concern are active in
their endeavors to effect his release not
only by direct appeals for clemoncy, hut by
urgent solicitation Of aid in this behalf from
all the southern men who are friendly to
them one of the methods used for creating
false opinion, intended TO operate on Gov.

pardon as a token of generosity.

conviction is one thing and punishment

The word fool seems n very harsh term
when applied TO person occupying the
Office Of President of the United states; yet
IT has been frequently employed to char
actcrizc Mr. HAYES. His friends, however.
have insisted upon it that if Mr.. HAYES was
weak, he was at least honest
For ourselves we could see nothing honest
about the way he got into the White House.
We do not see now how any intelligent per-
son can be made to believe that he was not
fully cognizant Of the frauds for which
ANDERSON has just been convicted
The principal ground on which the argu-
mcnt in support of Mr.. HAYES honesty has
been based since his accession to Office, has
been his alleged conscientious devotion to
civil service reform. That ground has been
gradually sliding from under his feet, and
is now entirely removed. The supcrscding
OF Mr.. SIMMONS as Collector of Boston leaves
Mr.. HAYES stripped and naked before the
country as charlatan, 50 far as all the
principles he has professed are concerned.
Public Office was to he held by the safe and
permanent tenure of good behavior. No re-
movals, no supersessions, were to take
place for opinions sake. When vacancies oc-
Cured they were to bc filled 10y promotion.
Mr.. SIMMONS was Collector OF the Port Of
Boston That he was competent, faithful,
excellent officer Is undisputed. He gave the
utmost satisfaction to the Boston NOR
chants, a class of men very particular OK
acting. and difficult to please. A rcappoint-
mcnt has been refused him simply and
solely for political reasons. Even in poll
ties no one questioned MI SIMMoNs's Re
4 .ft
the most staightest sect. He enforced the
doctrines proclaimed by Mr.. HAYES he cx-
ecutcd Mr.. HAYES civil service order. and
ab-tained from mingling in party politics
until he was ordered or requested 10y the
Administration at Washington to traverse
the State and make speeches.
What il the excuse for removing, or super
seding Mr. SIMMONS?
II Is said that although he has acted in
accordance with the civil service order he
does not believe in il, So We have intro
duced In place of the former usage Of APP
pointing political friends to office, not non
partisan rule, as WAS promised, but ilerccr
partisan rule than ever-a rule that Judges
not 10y actions. but assumes to try the reins
and the heart of the candidate. A person TO
hold Office now must be not merely Re
publican, and an uncxccptionable Republic
can, but he must not he friend to Repub-
lican not OF Mr.. HAYEss own stamp a.
SIMMONS was friend to Gen. BUTLER
HAYES professions Of civil service reform
are now concusively proven to be the
interest sham. He deserves no longer to bt
spoken of as weak but honest. He is weak
and wicked. But how could a man who cam,
into his great Office by Fraud be expected tC
