the world This dear boy Ben has a great
weakness for noise. Nothing delights him
so much as to hear all the echoes of the
land repeating his clamor. He always had
this taste. 1t was once taken notice
Of in q famous way by gentleman whose
name we are aot ut liberty to mention, be-
cause he is ROW Secretary of State. That
gentleman was once counsel for Andy
Johnson in certain impeachment case and
Ben was on the other side, and the learned
counsel recalled Tho way in which Ben did
not take Fort Fisher. He called it "war
by concussion." For Ben, eschewing
the ordinary machinery OF sap and
trench, cannons and bombs and balls and
all that timeworn nonsense, had conceived
the fancy of exploding shipload OF pow
der in the neighborhood Of the enemy's
fort, and SO shaking down its walls and
walking in. Well. somebody was fool
enough to give him the powder, and he did
explode it in that way, and that the coun-
sci called making war by conclusion; and
Ben's speech against Andy Johnson, rs a
proceeding of substantially the same ma
ture, he called Impeachment by concus-
sion." Perhaps Ben's latest performance is
to be understood in that sequence and is
only the RECOMMENDATION Of silver by con-
cussion.

Our dearly beloved and hard listed
workingmen who have started out upon a
mission of love and redemption, and who
propose to turn and overturn until the
affairs of the nation have been changed
and regulated in accordance with the prin-
ciples of absolute right and the eternal
fitness of things, have encountered small
cob~web which gives them vastly more
trouble aud infinite worry than would be
supposed oe 50 small a matter. They
want name. Like Byron said of his hero'
it is an uncommon want. They have
christened themselves, or more properly
speaking the leaders have done the work
of god-fathers and christened the six
months baby various and sundry names,
but still they are not happy. Sometimes
it is Workingman's party, anon they are
Greenbackers, and then presently they
bloom out to the public in the rounded
sonorous and euphonious name of Ma
tionals." Yet withal, even the latter is
not satisfactory and hence there is discord
and confusion. 1t is pitiful to see such
wrangling, it must be sorrowful to those Of
the household of faith. That blessed
baby" which the old wet nurse of the
Organ" says is still SO infantile in the
number of its days, but which like the
infant Mercury who astonished Jupiter and
all the gods with his theft of the Sun god
cattle and his promises of future support
to his Mother Maia, the Juvenile prodigy
gives promise of wonderful achievements
and daring enterprise if it can only receivt
proper name and get fairly started. i
it can achieve such prodigies of success
against the old parties at six months o
age (such is the Organs conundrum) wha
revolutions of the Universe will it no
effect when 1t reaches maturity. By al
means let that Infant of six months
existence have fixed and positive name
and let the age of marvels commence
1t is high time it was :out of swaddlinl
clothes and the old nurse relieved from
croning lullabys.

Ex-Gov. Pinchback has called upon the
president, had a very satisfactory inter-
view, and gone on his way rejoicing
What in particular trauspired between
the two distinguished gentlemen, what the
president said on the occasion which afford
ed such oil Of gladness to the lemon-colored
statesman of Louisiana has not been
publicly stated, but as Pinchback has said
1t was eminently satisfactory, the world is
bound to take his statement and to pre-
sumo that the presidential utterances
we're exceedingly sweet and agreeable.
The only notable part which Pinchback
reveals FOR public edi6cation and comfort
is that he assured the president every
thing is now serene aud unruffled in the
affairs Of the Pelican state, and that
never within his remembrance has there
been so good governor as Nichols, or so
wise an administration of state affairs.
True the millennium has not yet been
fully ushered in, though its dawning
radiance.s quite perceptible, and one little
matter only had caused him some slight
feelings of regret, namely, that tho child
rem Of New Orleans, white, black, yellow
and gray had not been allowed to indis-
in the public schools after the free and
easy style of rough and tumble which pre-
walls 10 the FIJI isands-still the alniabIe
ex- governor considered it merely trifinG
omission that was not worth seriou;
controversy, and on the whole the state o.
affairs under the present democratic
administration of Nichols was pretty neal
the model Of governmental perfection
The radiant SMILES Of happiness and thu
sunlight Of joy which must have lighted
the countenance and beamed from the
eyes of the president when he received
these comforting assurances from hi
faithful Pinch must have repaid him
thousand fold for all the inward sorrow
and mental unhappiness caused by tht
excavations Of a Howe, or the ill-natureC
aud caustic criticisms of other recalcitran
senators and opponents of his administra
tions. 1t is to be hoped that the genia
and enthusiastic Pinchback will often com
fort and sustain the presidential gmind il
the hour ofldoubt and uncertainty. Pinch
back and Wells both have the executive
ear, both are eminent for their greatnes
and their superior virtues, both are re
ported to be anxious to see Packard in
stalled 10 the custom house at Ney
Orleans, and both are such noble an,
nspicuQus characters in public life, boil
are held in such high esteem, nay almos
reverence by the nation, that as tn
counselors and trusted advisers of tn
president. their influence should be all
sufficient to secure the loving regard O

The Few Blue Book--A vast array of
ofice-holders.
The new Blue Book, Just published, a
cumberous and utterly useless but very
costly publication, which contains the name
OF every person employed in the federal
service, gives $3.50 as the total number
OF federal Office. holders of all kinds and
degrees. This is about / in $50 of the
total population, or for every 80 votes.
The vast number of ofice-seekers cease to
excite surprise when these figures are
known, Tor it there were but five aopljcaots
for every place this would make one in
every eighteen OF the voting population a
federal place hunter. But when the state
aud local officers are added to the federal
tne number OF persons who are paid for
attending to the business of ruling the re-.
malnder becomes frightful to contemnIate
Counting school officers, constables and
justices of the peace with the more i'm
portant placemen it is probable that the
state and local office-holders are at least :
numerous as those in federal employment.
