George W. McCrary.

IL Is well known that the Fraudulent Soc
Rotary OF War wrote the material part of
the nrst veto of the Army bill, and. from
pelhg a proiessed conservative before he
entered the Cabinet, and an outspoken sup
porter OF HAYEs's policy, so-callod. he has
become an aggressive stalwart, and is now
on the plane Of JOHN LOGAN, ZACH CHANp-
LEl' and other patriots of that brand.
Mr.. McCRARY has a perfect right to
change his political views, and we find no
fault with him on that score. But he has
peen nominated as Circuit Judge in place Of
Judge DILLON, whose resignation takes
effect on the lst Of september next. No man
Is III 10 occupy that responsible trust who
goes upon the bench committed to the des
potlc doctrine that elections in the States
regulated by local laws shall be ovorseen
and controlled by any part Of the regular
army. This arbitrary claim strikes at the
very root OF free Institutions, overturns the
principle Of popular government, and prac-
ucally establishes military oligarchv at
Washington, with self-pcrpctuating power.
variety Of important questions might
arise before Mr.. AICCRARY rs Judge If no
should be permitted to occupy that office
wherein tho liberty of the citizen and his
rights would be involved, under the existing
act OF 1865, by which troops Of the United
States may serve as police at the polls.

The effect Of this appointment. carried TO
It's logical conclusion, would be To make n
circuit Judge TO sustain the vetocs Of the
fraudulent President, and TO uphold the
monstrous pretension that the army and
navy may be properly used to control cleo
lions This is the pass to which the Rcpub-
llcan party has brought the country. and

stir Up the Grant Party.

Three months ago the opinion moro COM
monty expressed than any other both by
Republicans and Democrats as to who
would DO the Republican candidate for
President was that it was useless to bring
forward any one else in competition with
Gen. GRANT And very many thoughtful
men in both parties were apbrchcnsive that
GRANTS election to third term was inov-
liable.
We did not share very much in this feel
ing. When we listened for an argument IN
favor Of Gen. GRANT we were told that his
trumphal journey around the world would
elect him; that the attentions he had re-
ceiyed abroad would strengthen him i'm
Intensely Mt home
We never could see much force in this rca-
soning. We did not believe the American
people would leave it to foreign potcutates
b. choose their Chief Executive. We believed
when it came TO voting they would choose
for themselves.
How Is it now?
Already the GRANT fever has subsidcd in
an observable degree Indeed, we almost
lear its subsistence has been too marked and
too rapid. We should prefer to have the
public mind kept fixed upon Gen. GRANT ~
n candidate for we believe the more n third
term is thought about and talked about. the
more certainly will it be rendered an abso-
Lutte impossibility. So we say, stir up the
GRANT party.

the bench. He cannot expect the Senate 10
confirm his nomination; indeed, it is not
likely that any action will be taken upon it
at the present session. This would be n
virtual rejection as the appointment is to
take effect on the LIST Of September. OF
course HAYES could renew it at the regular
session in December, If Mr.. McCRARY should
desire to get recorded vote.
This is not case at all in line with the Re-
publican preccdcnts when ANDREW JOHN
son was President. Then nominations were
rejected without n color Of cause except hos
tlity to the President. The Hon. s. s. Cox
was named as Minister to Vienna, because
Of his fitness and general acccptablity but
he was thrown ont by the Senate unccrcmo-
niOusly, and others like him were slaughtered
without u why or wherefore. Mr.. McCRARY
has voluntarily put on the robes Of Il violent
partisan in favor Of using the army at cleo
tions Thus he has declared himself un-
worthy to wear the silk gown OF Judge of
the United States.

his Senatorial chair. There Is nothing re-
markable In this. Tho way in which the
Louisiana carpet-baggers always disposed
OF their best Offices was by bargain and sale.
J. RoDMAN WEST, the predecessor Of KEEL
LoGG, paid n round sum for the scat KEEL
LoGd was in the Senate seven or eight years
ago. lie bought the Office then, and the
second purchase two years since was merely
transacting the business in the old style.
KELLOGG's attempt to prove that he did
not get in by bargain and salo is not his
strong point. He ought to take the ground
that if lie was not chosen according to tho
usual mode, by a Legitimate Legislature,
then HAYES was not legally entitled to the
eight votes OF Louisiana; and therefore, II
he is to be turned out OF the Senate for fraud
and bribery in getting in, thcn HAYES ought
TO be turned out of the White House at the
same time and for the like reasons.

Violent Assaults by Policemen.

The feeling is getting to be very strong In
the community that charges Of assault and
battery against policemen are not regarded
by the courts before which they come MS on
the same footing with similar charges
against other persons. II Is next TO impos-
sibic to convict policeman. Not only is
there the usual correct, legal presumption Of
innocence IN his favUf, as there Is in favor Of
every accused person until he is proved
guilty; but In the case of n policeman the
evidence which would convict another Of
fender Is deemed insufficient. Indeed, the
strongest and most conclusive proof is fire.
Qucntly treated ~ II IL were wholly unim-
portant. 50 uniformly has this grown to be
the rule that we have no doubt In many IN
stances victims have declined to complain
OF wanton outrages because they believed II
was hopeless to undertake to get police
man punished.
Whore the policemen are right Of course
they should be sustained; but no more than
any ono else should they be excused for em-
ploying any Unnecessary violence.
The police and the courts are both suffer-
ing in reputation from the cause which we
have stated. Matters cannot go on in this
way much longer. II remedy is not speed
lily found there will be an irresistible demand
for n reorganization both OF the police and
of the tribunals before which offending po-
licemen are tried.
