Mr.. Edmund's Proposed COmprom1

Mr.. Edmund's Proposed Compromise.
Mr. George f. Edmunds, one of the
United States senators from Vermont, has
written letter to MIR. Hayes, and that
letter has been published. One is sur
prised in reading this letter to learn what
perfect harmony exists among republicans
where there has been every appearance OF
strife heretofore.
1t seems, according to Mr. Edmunds,
that his letter is written at the request of
the acting president, who had asked Mr.
Edmunds to give again" his views and
experience in relation to the interven-
ton OF senators and representatives in re-
spect to nominations and appointments by
the executive department of the govern
ment."
1t is rather funny that Mr.. Hayes should
want the senator to give him again"
views which he had given just before. Mr.
Hayes possesses the simplicity of the child
who nightly asks: Tell me the Story of
the Bean again"
r. Mr.. Edmunds begins by assuring the
president that their views are in entire ac-
cord on the subject Honey!
The Green Mountain senator declares
that the practice of applicants for place
communicating with ithe executive branch
OF the government through senators anC
representatives was natural and reasonable
and perhaps in q degree necessary"
Senators and representatives. contiAue!
Mr.. Edmunds, gradually come to volunteer
recommendations in every instance This
he thinks, was an abuse and perversion o.
the constitutional theory of appointments.
And this is the main feature of the let
ter. To be sure, Mr.. Edmunds recon,
mends an increased stability in the tenure
of office, but that is neither here nor there
According to him, the great and crying
evil would seem to be that senators anC
representatives speak before their opinions
are asked, 1t would be all right if the
would wait until they are asked This i
what there is of the letter-and all Their
appears to be Of Mr. George F, Edmunds
Verify, have the stalwart men of Vernon
in the olden time dwinded away into hair
splitters like him?
We are told by the administration orga.
IN this clty-speaking Of Mr. Edmund
letter-that las the views here set fort
by Mr.. Edmuuds are in harmony witt
those known to be entertained By the pres
ident, republicans who have read then
hope that the basis for perfect under
standing between the administration an
the republican senators may have bee
here indicated"
Could anything be more silly? A prett
loaf, indeed, IS this pitiful letter of Nj
Edmunds' to bring for love feast betwee
our acting president threatened with iu
parchment, and those who have just bee
threatening to impeach him.-N y SU7

resignation. He was not then. nor at any
time offered the Berlin Mission, and it can
be said, on the highest authority, that the
most perfect good understanding, friend
ship and confidence have always existed
and continue at this time between the Pre-
rident and Secretary Schurz.

Homely Hints.


Now it is Mr.. Moody who is reported as
giving way from over-work. Ihat sort
Of obituary over public mans dead body
or his ended usefulness is as common now
adays as in the last generation was died
from the visitation OF God" The pop
ular lay preacher has an exceptionally
healthy organization and stock of animal
vitality, but not enough, it appears, to
stand the incessant tremendous strain he
has laid upon the nerves. He is, we be-
Iieve, however, too wise and too good q
man to commit this common mental sui
eide in the pursuance of any duty, how
ever high it may seem to him.
1t is not overwork which kills the
American: it is an incredible lack of pru-
dence aud common sense 10 the doing of
the work. Stout beer-drinking German
scholars go through more hard grinding
labor in study in year than our students
in lifetime. English men of business at
sixty manage gigantic schemes through
the day, and sit down rudy, portly, genial
in the evening to task of heavy feeding
which would appal any New York epicure;
the European statesman certainly has
affairs as complicated and vast as our party
politics to perplex him; yet when do you
hear of his sinking at middle age from

Senator Edmunds' Letter to the Pres
ident---Hopes for an Administration
Leader in the Senate.
Special to N. Y. Herald

- Special to n. Y. Herald.
The administration republicans are de-
lighted with Senator Edmunds' letter to
the president on the senatorial patronage,
because they believe they see in it eyi.
dence that Mr.. Edmunds will be here
after the administration leader in the
senate. If this should prove to be a fact
the president would certainly have scored
heavily against his opponents Mr., Ed
munds is the strongest man on his side in
the senate. lie does not often care to
play the most conspicuous part, but be is
powerful IN debate, aud has undoubtedly
greater personal Influence in the senate
than any other republican senator. If he
should turn up as the administration
leader he has skill, tact and strength enonph
to either compel a general submission TO
the president or to make 1t very-ugly Tor
those who stand. out.
1t is understood that the letter was the
result of several conversations With the
president in which the civil service views
of Mr., Hayes were thoroughly discussed.
and that Mr.. Ednunds has signifed to
friends privately that he is in harmony
with the president on almost all points Of
his policy, and is in any case on entirely
friendly relations with him.
1he letter is regarded here as dealing Q
fatal blow at Senatorial patronage and the
courtesy of the Senate. This old custom
giving to republican Senator the contro
of the patronage of his State, will, it il
thought, be now thoroughly broken down

to the Grangers of cur County, and suffi-
cieutly explains itself:
MASTERS OFFICE, STATE GRANGE,
CHAPPELL's DEPOT, 3. O., Jan. 81, 1873.
The meeting of the State Grange will
b. held in Columbia on Tuesday, the 9th
of February, at 10 a. M, instead of in
Charleston. This change has heen made
by the Executive Committee and Master,
after consultation with leading brethren
from Charleston and other portions of
the Styte. On account of the Legisla-
ture being in session and other reasons,
it would be impossible to have we'll at
tended meeting in Charleston. All re-
gret the necessity for the change, and not
boing able to accept and enjoy the very
kind invitation of the Patrons and Ma
sons of Charleston and the opportunity
Of cultivating the cordial business and
social relations that should exist between
the agriculturalists of the country and
The meeting in Columbia will be very
important, and oil Patrons who can are
urged to attend, but more especially the
brethren and sisters who are voting mem
bers of the State Grange, and most es-
pecially the Worthy Masters of Pomona
Oranges. Under the present System it
will be almost impossible for the State
GTaugo or Master To conduct the affairs
of the order successfully or satisfactorily
without the fullest understanding and
concert with Masters of Pomona Oranges.

fore the Supreme Court with this vast
array of facts at the proper time. If he
succeeds in ousting Mr.. Hayes he will
'bo President In fact as he is OF right, and
If he is defeated before the Court his
wrongful treatment will secure for him
another nomination from the Democratic
party In 1880. He is credited with hav-
ing had this plan for months, and, indeed,
It was in furtherance of this plan that he
took the oath OF Office as President on
the 4th of March, 1877.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. 15.-
The message Of Gov. Emory to the Terri
torial Legislature was delivered this af-
ternoon. He recommends Territorial
free school law, as the support Of FREQ
schools 10 now left with each school dis
trict. He also recommends secret bal
lot, and the revision OF the divorce laws
30 as to require years residence Of the
applicant. He says that polygamy has
continued here for thirty years, and for
fifteen years in violation oflaw. In all
other States and Territories polygamy is
punished. 1t is no less crime here, yet
the law remains dead letter. Polyga-
nous marriages are so frequent through
out the Territory, and the sentiment Of
tho majority Of the people so much III it's
favor, that the officers, though charged
with the duty of enforcing the laws, find
themselves unable to do 80 without
further legislation. This Legislature has
sufficient Jurisdiction to provide the en-
actments required, but If 1t waits, then 1t
is the duty of Congress to provide such
legislation as will meet the case. Polyg-
amy aud the union of Church and State
are stumbling blocks in the way of set
tied condition OF affairs, and detrimental
to the interests Of the entire people.

done in stable or in heaps, preferably the
latter. In whatever way it is done, it
