The Truth OF the Matter.

The charge published in the Er.ning Star of this
city and the New York Times, that q son of Jury
man Donphan had been discharged from the
Government Printing Office by the influence OF
the defendants in the star-route cases Is disposed
of by the following card:
To the Editor of THE REpuBLICAN:
Doniphan was discharged by me for the sole
reason that he incompetent to fill the position
of an apprentice This fact was notorious among
the employees of my department, and any state
ment that he was discharged for any other reason
is false. The fact of his incompetency was
so palpable and plain that l considered
it my duty, for tho reputation of my
department. without consulting my superioi
officers, to discharge him. l knew nothing about
his family, not even that he had a father living

Congressman HeilmGn, OF Indiana, who is here

the outlook for 1854 as very favorable to the Re-

to their defeat there. The constitutional amend

else which caused the Republican defeat. The
members OF the latter pRry are now FUZZY awake

of Republican votes, and the party can count on

Since he began work at the age Of in black

Harrison's name under it, A good many

| cerning the Civil Service. We look for
something as radical in this direc-
tion as has been his own practice.
Had there been fixed terms of Office the
Republicans Of Pennsylvania would not
have been torn into contending factions
by the failure of Mr. Sullivan to remain a
collector of internal revenue after twelve
years of continuous service. Having
served three terms of four years each
some other citizen might have been ap-
pointed without an outcry about re-
moval If removals during q term, ex-
cept for cause defined by law, had been
prohibited President Garfield could not
have removed Collector Merritt in New
York city in the middle of term. We
hope to see the time fixed by law when
each office shall be filed and vacated. This
will be just what the people want, and if
the contrary is forbidden by law, they
will not fear that their will is being dis
regarded. 1t is not well to leave power
unlimited, for its possessor is always
liable to be accused of abusingit, whether
he does so or not. So with regard to
political contributions. There should
be no practice tolerated in this regard
which can be abused. If partisans In
office cannot contribute without being
made afraid to withhold, then the AK
should be laid at the root of the tree and
solicitations should be prohibited. This
seems new ground for us. Itis. We have
been sincere in our devotion to the party,
and party zeal may have had something
to do with our belief that men in office
could act freely when asked to contribute
for party purposes. 1t is plain that many
Republicans do not so believe. We sur
render no principle in urging that this
stumbling-bloCk be removed.
The Republican party can only legalize
primary elections through State legisla-
lures. This has been done in many
States. 1t has been the law in California
for eighteen years. This makes false
voting, swearing, and certifying, crimes at
primary as at general elections.
These measures, and q eat reduction
of taxation, with corresponding reduction
in expenditures, would be submission to
the sovereign will of the people, and those
of them who are Republicans would
gladly make them the basis of future
| harmony

that the latter's success will avail him
nothing, as he is an alleged non-resi-

remark that the aforesaid friends are

CONSIDERING the large amount of bust
ness which is just now buzzing in the
diminutive head of Mr.. Whitelaw Reid,
including the governing of the Nation
and the State of New York and making
the next President, how would it do for
him to request the United States Senate
to choose Secretary for itself on the 4th
of March next? He declared yesterday
that the worst Democrat in the land would
be preferred by him to man he named
as notorious" We don't know just how
wicked it is to be notorious, but it cannot
be half as bad as the things laid at Gar
fields door by Whitelaw Reid in an edi-
torial in February, 1873. Garfeld's case
proves that it is of no consequence what
Whitelaw Reid says about anybody.
Until he can rail his denunciation of
Garfield from out his files he does offend
his lungs to speak so loud concerning
others.
