THE New York EreHiHg Post gravcly an
nounccs that the politician who would be-
" come a bondsman would be very likely to
do so upon the condition that he should
Ct" be permitted to control some part of the
patronage and influence Of the custom-
house. &c. This is quite probable in the
especial case in question. Messrs. FESToN,
PHELPs RoBERrs and CHITrESDEN will he
very likely to control some Of tho patronage
and influence Of Collector pro tenn MER-
RITT's office, and they will control it in the
interest of an especial clique Of Liberal Re-
publican politicians, of men who sold out to
the Democracy in 1S72, and who would
have repeated the sale in 1875 IL they had
not been themselves bought up like sheep
in the shambles by promises Of patronage
under the present Administration. 1t was
for this very reason that General MERRITT
was appointed-simply to give this gang of
malcontents control of the custom-h house
machine. And this is called civil-service
reform.

their hands, the machine power of the Adj
mnistration is brought to bear to squelch
him. This is done, too, in the face of the
fact that some Of tho Presidential nomina-
tions which have been obnoxious to them
have been confirmed by means of their di-
rect agency. In short, the drift of the situ-
alton points cmphatically toward intcr-par-
tisan strife, and the President alone is to
blame for having started the current in that
direction. There was peace at tho adjourn
ment of Congress, and he has willfully and
maliciously disturbed it. If he has any
other object in view in this course than a
repetition in 1880 of the trcachery of 1872,
we have failed to discover it, and We have
studied the indications closely.

IT is mistake to suppose that contribu-
tions to the Republican campaign funds are
not coming in rapidly. The committees in.
vitation to Government employees to con-
tribute only one per cent.-instead of two
Of their salaries Is reasonable, and has met
with cheerful responses in all OF the Depart
ments, as well as from officials outside of
Washington. The wide publication of this
mistaken supposition does no harm, how
ever, although it is intended to discourage
contributions, for it has aroused a deeper
interest in the matter among earnest Repub-
licans; an interest that is naturally followed
by additional contributions

THAT aforetime publicist, SCHUYLER
CoLFAx, who has perhaps been more
"suned against than siuning," has been
urged to enter the contest for United States
Senator in Indiana This fact arouses the
Opposition TO renewal OF its stereotyped

CoLFAX is wise, under the circumstances, 10
abstain from re-entering public life, how
ever tempting the inducements may be- It
is true that he is undoubtedly innocent of
any criminal connection with tho Credit

there was anything improper in the act, he
would have saved himself from the susp-

in making the announcement that he is

GRANT AND LEE.
which Was the Greater "Butoher


To he Editor Of he National Republican:
SIR: As much has been said recently In crit
icisms Of General Grants campaign from the
Rapidan to Appomattox, and, without enter
ing into the truth or fslsity of tho indifference
he was said to have manifested when the au-
thorities at Washington proposed a plan Of
campaign different from his own, by saying at
was immaterial to him, provided they would
furnish him enough men," 1t may not be
amiss to compare that ever memorable cam
paign with ono Of that idol Of the South,
Robert Z. Lee. Grants losses from the Rapi-
dan to Appomattox Court House, from Con-
federate Democratic authorities, In killed,
wounded, death by disease, and prisoners was
115,0OO. Grant WAS operating in an enemy S
country, from which he never retreated an
enemy acting almost constantly on the defen-
sive, In = country fortified by nature as also by
the highest engineering skill, In jungle, forest
swamp and mountain. The campaign lasted
twelve months. Lees losses from May. some
time In the early part of the month, 1853. to
July 4, Of same year, from Charlottesville to
Gettysburg aggregated 6O0O0. Against the
advice Of General Longstreet, he fought the
battle of Gettysburg. where he learned to
know how 1t was yourself by attacking the
Federals. His losses Oh that fold footed up
36OO0-15, 900 prisoners, 5000 found dead, and
5000 wounded remaining on tho field, beside
1000 carried of by wagon train twenty-five
miles In length. At the same rate-60 900 loss
in two months, or 10000 per month-had Lee
continued fighting twelve months as the Army
of the Potomac fought in Virginia, his losses
would have aggregated 100000 Who was the

AN exchange suggests that some signifi-
cance might now be attached to the fact
that one of the most serious specifications
in the impeachment case against ANDREW
JOHNSON was based upon his abuse Of the
appointing power. The civil-teaure act,
passed at that time TO prevent further SINH
lar abuse by the Executive, still remains
upon the statute books, but under the
present Administration it Is practically a
dead-letter. To illustrate, the recent ap-
pointment Of ALEX. REED, of Cincinnati, to
he receiver of public moneys at walla-
Walla, W. T., is a plain violation of the
spirit if not of the letter of this act. The
Cincinnati Times says of this appointment
For the fourth time. aud in defiance of the
Senate Of the United States, President HAYES
insists upon appointing ALEX. REED. OF To.
ledO, TO public office. 1t seems an absolute
necessity that STANLEY MATTHEW'S bargains
should be carried out. None have mi4cnrlied
save that of HODGE, whore the opposition was
dangerously strong. Aud As tho REED bar
gain brought four votes, and the HODGE bar.
gain only one, It Is natural that STANLEY
should stand by REED four times as well as by
