An EpauIetted Aristocracy.

II the House OF Representatives will order
an investigation, with an efficient committee,
10 ascertain how many members and direct
descendants Of the same families have con-
tinuously held commissions in the army, the
navy, and the marine corps, since the foun-
dalton Of the Government, some very inter
estlng and important facts will be disclosed
for public OBLIGATION. There has been grad
ually growing up an aristocracy OF cpaulct-
ted Ulllcehodcrs, who have come TO regard
themselves as preferred class, and who as
sert privileges that are not claimed byany
other portion Of the community.
Clustered around the War and the Navy
Departments there has always been n body
Of favored officers connected with their adj
ministration aud at the heads OF particular
bureaus, who necessarily exercise both pro-
fcssional and personal influence upon the
Secretaries for the time being, and through
them upon the President, Independent Of
their social contact with members OF Con
grcss, and the advantages arising from it.
Many OF these officers have held such posi-
lions for long series Of years, and Of course
have strengthened themselves by political
connections during that service.

tion in appointing ten cadets to West Point
and ten TO Annapolis every year, it will be
found by turning back to the record for two
generations, that a large proportion OF them
was selected from sons OF officers or their
immediate kindred or their more remote
relations, bearing generally the same name,
but occasionally intorpcrsed with the names
Of the children Of married daughters or
sisters.
The facility OF Intercourse with the Exec
utiye backed by the support of the Secrcta-
rcs under whom they served, and their own
professional standing, with an intimate
knowledge of the machinery of the depart
mcuts and access to all information rs to
vacancies, gave to these officers advantages
which no civilian could possess. They were
always on the spot and on the lookout for
| opportunities to serve their families or
| their friends. Superaddod To these inside
/ relations they established friendly ties in
| the Senate and the House Of Reprcscnta-
tivcs, and were thus enabled, if the ENccu-
tive list was exhausted, to obtain cadet.

were not SO eagerly sought as they now are
When this system Is applied for half q
century, never relaxing and always grow
ing, it is not at all surprising that a certain
! number Of families have held commissions

In one or other, and very often In both
branches OF the service, without any regard
to merit, except, perhaps, in some individ-
ual case OF n gallant ancestor As q neces-
sary consequence, tho army and navy and
the marine corps have become sort OF
close military corporation, whose chief aim
is to protect themselves against reforms In
Congress- to get the highest pay, and to do
the least work possible.
Tho General of tho Army and his grand
stan, tho Adjutant-Genera and his assist
ants, the Inspector-Gc General and his assist
ants, the Quartermaster-Gener and his
assistants, the Commissary-Gcneral and his
assistants, the Surgeon General and his
assistants, the Paymastcr-G General and his
assistants. the Chief Engineer and his as
sistants, the Chief OF Ordnance and his
assistants, the Judge Acknowledgement and
Ms assistants, the Chief Signal Officer and
his assistants, tho officers at the Arsenal,
and little army OF clerks and employees,
are regularly stationed at Washington.
Tho Admiral Of the Navy and his staff,
the chief OF the Bureau OF Yards and Docks,
the chief OF the Bureau OF Navigation,
the chief Of the Bureau OF Ordnance, tho
chief OF the Bureau OF Provisions and Cloth

Surgery, the chief OF tho Bureau OF Con-

Marine Corps and all It's staff the Marine
Barracks, the Naval Observatory, the Naval
Signal Office, tho photographic Office and
the Navy Yard, with the large body Of Off
GERS, subordinates, clerks and employees,
are all established at Washington.
The officers may be transferred to other
posts but tho Offices remain and whether
filled by one set or by another, they all repre-
sent the same idea, are operated by the
same motive, and substantially form a class

The Political Value of Honesty.

The ma jority against BENJAMIN A. WILLIS
In the Eleventh District was Unexpectedly
large. Four years ago, when he was first
elected to Congress, he had a majority OF
2,3ls over ISAAC Ii. BAILEY. In 1876, tho
Presidential year, on fuller vote than that
of Tuesday, Mr.. WILLIS was carried through
with majority OF 4s7 over Mr.. LEVI p.
MORTON. This year Mr.. WILLIS is buried
under an adverse majority OF between six
and seven thousand.
Mr.. WILLIS total vote now exceeds by
only two hundred the majority OF his op-
ponent. In other words, his fricndlncss to
jobbory in Congress and his cowardly sub
servicnce TO the Fraudulent Administration
have lost him moro votes than he has been
able to retain by most Industrious per-
sonal canvass and with the support Of a
compact organization like Tammany Hall.
Few OF the results OF last Tuesdays
voting are more notable than this. None,
we may add, is more encouraging to tina
friends Of honest government
THE Sun had no motive Of personal i'll will
to NJ. WILLIS when il laid before his con
sttuents the facts in regard to his con-
nection with the payment to JOHN Roach
and others Of Illegal and fraudulent claims
amounting TO three and n quarter million
dollars. We have no disposition To deal
harshly with him now, after he has been
repudated and punished. 1t is not our
practice TO kick dead men. In his case
especially, the link between cause and effect
is SO plain to all eyes that the lesson and
the warning do not need many words
