the donation visit made us at the Samis

Indications OF n Great Rneing aud Trottlng

Judging from present Indications, tho
coming racing season will be one Of great in
terest. Tho Duke Of Magenta being out Of tho
way. leaves n clear field for now aspIrnnts for
fame. The entries for the principal events will
bring out fields OF horses 80 noarly even in
blood and condition that very closely contested
races are looked for by sporting mon. The
threo-year old that comes 10 the front will be n
wonder. as the youngsters arc all showing well
after the long winter There has been too much
ice and snow on the training tracks Mt the East
and West this winter to try tho speed OF tho
racers with safety. but n their contracted circles
they have shown mpttle and strength to n de-
gree that could hardly BE- held within bounds
by their careful trainers.
-, Among novelties tho coming season will be
the small but fleet stable OF Mr. james H. keene.
including Spendthrif and Dan Sparkling. tho
stecplcchnsrrs Of Mr. james Gordon B.nnett.
possibly tho English i'm portatons Of Mr.. Charles
Red. and tho great three- year-od Peter, who
was the favOrite for the Derby before his en-
owner. The colt Is to be sent over to this country
In the interest OF an English turfman, who has
become partially identin 81 with the American

Mr.. Pierre Lorillurd. 1t Ia said that race has
already been arranged between Peter and the

EvARTs.
More than one hundred men who were
actively concerned in the Electoral Con-
spiracy of 1876 have been rewarded with
Office by HAYES, either by direct appoint
ment or through an eXertion OF his nilu-
ence. This fact is in itself the strongest
proof that could be presented Of HAYES
personal completely in the crime.
Dishonesty sometimes has the courage to
do that which honest men dare not. No
honest man in HAYEs's place would have
dared 10 put j. MADISON WELLS and his two
SONS into the New Orleans Custom House,
or to raise the scoundrcl McLN TO the
bench, or to send the backlog GOWN to
represent this Government at an important
Italian seaport.
HAYES dared not withstand the clamor
for Office Of the men who stole the Presi-
dency for his benefit and for their own
There is hardly n name on the list that does
not mean Il mouth that must he kept shut ii
HAYES is TO remain in the White House.
So the receiver has paid them the big
ones with big Offices and the little ones with
little Offices. He has paid them all, and he
has paid them out OF the public Treasury.

There is no more wholesome practice than
that which has prevailed under our Govern
mcnt Of turning out the chief olllceholdcrs
from time to time and putting in new men
In their stead. permanent class of place
men, enjoying their Offices as a kind OF
established privilege, and keeping them for
ever, is thing entirely contrary TO the
spirit of our institutions and dangerous TO
the permanence of liberty.
In our Judgment, the Republicans in the
Senate who made such warm dcmonstra-
tions in the debate Of Monday, respecting
the appointment Of five new men to certain
posts about the Senate Chamber were radi-
caly and thoroughly wrong in their argu-
mcnt upon the subject; and the Democrats
who took the opposite view, aud maintained
the duty and the right Of rotation, We're
altogether right.
A serious political danger to which this
country is exposed springs from the i'm
mense number Of men who occupy posts
In the civil service under the Federal Gov
eminent. This number Is said TO bc not less
than one hundred thousand 1t forms a dis
cplined body of political agents, jealous
and INSCRIPTIONS in keeping in power the
party through which they are kept in place.
BY means Of this vast force the Federal
Executive can exercise control such as our
fathers who formed the Constitution never
dreamed Of. Their theory was that the pub
lie safety required the restriction and dim-
mutton of Executive authority, and they had
no idea that SO great an array Of political
mcrconaric5 would over be organized under
the command OF the Executive.
There has been a great deal NJ talk, and
IN many cases Of foolish talk, about the re-
form Of the civil service; and fanciful
and impracticable methods have been de-
yised for bringing about such a reform
But the true way to deal with this question
Is, first OF all, to reduce TO the lowest posi-
bio limits the number OF men in Office under
the national Government; secondly, TO SEQ
20 it that none but honest and decent mel
are appointed to Office; thirdly, to forbid by
positive statute all assessments and con-
trbutous from onlceholdcrs 10 the political
funds OF any party; and fnurthly 10 apply
frequently the wholesome principle OF rota-
ton, turning out the mass Of them, and
keeping in Office only the few exceptional
individuals who show themselves to bo Pc
culiarly scrviccablo In their respective posts
that sort Of mon, in short, who have
habitually been retained under all changes
OF parties, and amid all rotations.
This debate in the Senate rs likely to
prove useful by calling attention 10 the i'm
portahce Of the subject, aud by ultimate.

A Fair RetOrt.

When Senator BAYARD remarked that most
OF the applications lie received for appoint
mcnt to subordinate Offices in tho Senate
came from men who were elected from the
same offices in 1861, he laid himself open
10 the cutting retort from Mr.. CoNKLINd
as TO the circumstances under which those
offices were vacated at that time. The logic
of Mr.. BAYARD's argument was carried
step further by Mr.. CoNKLING than was
wholly agreeable 10 tho Senator from Della

Many years ago WILLIAM J. GRAVES, q
Representative in Congress from Kentucky,
killed JONATHAN CILLEY, a Representative
from Maine. in a duel. HENRY A. WISE, n
Representative from Virginia, was one Of
GRAVES seconds. The country was greatly
shocked at the occurrence. and the tide of
public Indignation rose high against all
the survivors who were concerned in the
tragedy After while, however, this feel
ing subsidized, and the occurrence passed out
OF the public mind. But Mr. WISE himself
was always reviving the dreadful recollec-
ton He was a great talker, and he in
sisted on discussing the GRAVES CILLEY
duel. His chief purpose seemed TO be
TO throw the blame upon HENRY
CLAY, who had been consulted in ref
erence to some of the prellminares of the
meeting WISE, though he himself acted as
second, always insisted upon it that Mr..
CLAY should have prevented the duel. But
every time he revived the discussion Mr..
WISE drew down on his own head fresh
torrent Of censurc.

Of the unfortunate GRAVES and CILLEY
duel by the still more conspicuous folly Of
the Coniederates and their friends in always
harping on the rebellion. II we are not mis-
informed their theory OF secession was
illustrated by an experiment that failed ;
and we should suppose the less said by them
about that experiment the better.

Venezuela.

Venezuela has once more settled down TO
an interim Of quiet whose length cannot be
guaranteed. Gen. BIANCO, who was sum
monod from Paris few weeks ago by his
adherents to assume the relns OF govern
mcnt, has arrived in the country by way Of
st. Thomas. He has been proclaimed Pro-
vlsional President. and has formed Cabi-
net, in which, with the suggestive necessity
prevailing in some South American States,
there is q Minister Of Public Credit quite
distinct from the Minister OF Finance.
Nine years ago GU1MAN BLANCo was
called to precisely the same position Of Pro-
visional President, after a long period Of in
tornal dissonson. lie was formally elected,
two years later, to term OF the Presidency
beginning carly in the year following, 1879,
and lasting four years. Compared with its
previous condition for n quarter OF a CEN
turY Venezuela was peaceful and prosper
Gus under GUzMAN BLANCo. Among the
constitutional changes effected was one re-
duclng the regular term of the Presidency
from four to two years. and prohibiting re-
election, with n view to diminish the tempta-
ton Of armed revolt by over-impatent can
didatcs for the Office. In 1876 ALCANTARA
WIS CHOSEN 10 succeed BLANCO, MS form
beginning in the February following, and
lasting, OF course, until the same date in the
month just past Being once firmly seated,
ALCANTARA was 10th to go, and undertook
To substitute for the regular autumn cleo
ton, designed to provide him successor, a
constitutional convention, which he APP
pointed for two months later, with the view
Of restoring the old four years term.
Before the Convention met, ALCANTARA
died. This body, however, assembled, APP
pointed VALERA Provisional President in
his stead. and then carried out ALCANTARA's
plans. The standard of revolt was raised
at once; several States declared against
VALERA; the rcvolutonists quickly defeat
cd and captured VALERA, took Puerto Ca
bello and Caracas, and so prepared the way
for GUZMAN BLANCo, in whose name the
movement had been carried on.
How the country Will undo its constitu-
tional snar is not yet made known; but in
that latitude a political knot is soon cut.
Probably the work of President ALcAN-
rARA's Convention will be wholly set aside.

over the removal Of their political brethren
from the Offices in the Senate seems to us
rather small business.
How does it happen that the Republican
party has fallen into minority in the Sem

on this.
