heartily endorse his views, and be-

Of nine-tentha Of the Democrats of
this section. We are, like Col. Aiken,
''irreconciIabIy opposed to giving the
negro political recognition because he

qualified to fill any public position,
which has been sufficiently demon
strated in this State. He has had all
the rights of citizenship conferred upon
him, and stands before tho law equal

his chances for politicnl preferment
with him. Qualification and merit
alone, should entitle o man to political
preferment. Because the negroes are
numerically tho strongest race in the
State, it is no reason why they should
be given recognition in preference to
white men. The whites, by reason
OF their superior intelligence can, and

A CABINET CRIsIs.-A Washington
dispatch says: cit is freely stated that
there are strong probabilities Of a recon

its entire membership more in accord
with the President and with each other.
Its certain that the Cabinet, as at present
made up, was not the personal choice of
the President himself: in fact, it is some
what questionable whether. if left to
himself, he would have selected more
than one man out of the whole list-Mr.
Blaine. The others represent no less
than four distinct elements of the Re-
publican party, and were accepted by
the President at the suggestion Of others,
in the hope that a compromise Cabinet
would restore and promote harmony IN
the party. II does not seem to have had
that effect, and the President is reported
to be about reaching the conclusion that
it would have been better had he pleased
himself and not undertaken 10 please

The New Administration

President Garfield's administration
makes a disastrous start. The bitter
quarrels which have already broken out
between the President and some of the
Republican faJtions threaten to disable
if not to actually wreck the ship before
it gets fairly out of the harbor. The
nominations of Robertson and Chandler
1.-The former to the New York custom
bouse. and the latter to be Solicitor
| General-has caused such q tempest in the
Republican party that grave fears are ex-
pressed at Washington that it may fatally
split the party throughout the country.
It is declared that it will be fatal if the
President does not withdraw these
nominations. On the other hand, it is
announced that it will be fatal if he does.
Other minor appointments are equally
unfortunate. There is wen beginning
to be some talk about the necessity of
expelling Blaine himself, rather than let
the quarrel go on. A Republican dis
patch from Washington says:
There is a feeling current that, when
Cabinet changes do occur, the Jonah
who will be thrown overheard will not
be found in the Post Office Department
or the Department of Justice. There is
no denying the fact that the rumpus
over the nominations of Messrs. Robert
son and Chandler has caused a great
deal of solicltude in conservative Repub.
lican circles. Influential Republicans
who are here from various parts of the
country express anxiety in regard to the
future of the administration. and doubt
concerning its stability and success. 1t
is freely said that a bad beginning
has been made. The present diff
cultles are thought to have been
needless, and nave given rise to a feel
ing of uncertainty and apprehension in
regard to the course of the President in
: e future. 1t is said that Mr.. Garfield
o installed thus far in demonstrating that
ne lne2ds to be President himself, but

The correspondent of the Boston
Herald, who generally gets the ''inside
view" of the situation in Republican of
fetal circles, telegraphs that paper that
Robertson's confirmation is confidently
expected-and Chambers rejection. He
adds:
"Mr. Garfield firmly adheres to his de-
termination not to withdraw any of the
nominations he has sent to the Senate,
and he will not unless requested by the
parties themselves. 1t is said that none
of the Democratic Senators are disposed
to give Mr.. Conkling assistance in de-
feating Dir. Robertson, they having
found by long experience that it does
not pay to help Mr. Conkling in that
way. The ultimate fate of Mr.. Mat
thews remains as much in the dark as
ever"

There has been some trouble at De-

As there are able and ready debateri
upon both sides Of the Senate, neither
party is ever likely to obtain the mastery
in discussions there except when it il
clearly in the right. The present contest
affords an Illustration. Though the Re-
publican side has a number of skilled
and ready debaters, the weight of the
right upon the Democratic side has en-
sured success to the latter in each days
discussion. The Malone orham bar
gain is so utterly indefensible upon any
ground but that Of temporary expe-
diency, that the Republican Senators
have made but sorry work in endeavor-

longing VOORHEES,, but was persuaded by

Vice President Arthur and Senator
I0hn Sherman.

The vigiIant Senate reporter, says the
Pittsburg Post, has not failed to notice
with how much vigor and uccess the
Vice President, Mr.. Chester A. Arthur,
late Collector of the port Of New York,
now presiding ex of1cio in the Senate of
the United States, fails to notice Mr..
John Sherman, Senator from Ohio, re
Gently Secretary of the Treasury, when
be rises to catch the eye Of the presiding
officer as q preliminary to heaving in a
few remarks upon the subject under con-
sideration.
1t Is possible, then, that Mr.. Arthur
has not forgotten that Mr.. John Sher-
man, Secretary of the Treasury, once
wrote to Mr.. Arthur, Collector, that
''gross abuses of administration have
continued and increased during your
incumbency," that persons have been
regularly paid by you who have ten
dered little or no service; the expenses
of your office have increased, while its
receipts have diminished. Brides, or
gratuities in the shape of brides,
have been received by your subordi-
mates in several branches Of the custom
house, and you have in no cas- supported
the effort to correct these abuses" "
Having thus lectured Mr.. Arthur, then
| Collector, now Vice President, MIR.
Sherman, then Secretary, now Senator,
consulted Mr.. Hayes, and into the bas-
ket went Mr.. Arthur's official head,
damned with the Pecksnifian phrase
with q deep sense of my obligations
under the Constitution, l regard it as
my plain duty to suspend you in order
that the Office may be honestly admins
tered" 1t is not marvellous, therefore,
that MI. Arthur should choose to be OBJ
livious of the presence in the Senate
chamber of this same John Sherman.
