Senator MCPHERSON visited Newark a day or
two ago, with his candidacy for reelection to the
United States senate in view. He saw many OF

nIoro Reform XYnntciI.


The gradual separation of politics from the
affairs of the government is n promising sign
of the times. If we can get the PENDLEToN
bill on the statute book the question of the
political opinions of an applicant for a cleri-
cal position will never be raised, unless by
some misfortune politics should creep into
the selection of the civil service commission
nom paTtisans who, when asked if they
have voted on election day, reply, with a
yawn, that they never take any part in poi-
tics. Politics are well enough for politicians,
but one cannot be very refined in his no.
tions who goes and votes. We always observe
II sort of vulgar animation on the faces of men
who Vote. Some of them even appear to
mean something by their vote, and become
quite Jealous in behalf of the cause they es-
pouse. Such fellows as these ought not to
have anything to do with offices. They are
the politicians, who are ineligible under any
well regulated reform system, and ought to
be made ineligible under the constitution, if
that instrument could only be amended with.
out the aid of the voters. The main reliance
in republic is on the non-voting class. They
form what is called "better class" and in
the sweet by-and-by, when politics and gov
ernment shall be wholly separated, they alone
will be eligible to Office, from the presidency
down. The object of government being SIM
ply to collect revenue and disburse it, for the
protection Of rights Of person and property,
we see no need of political opinions or party
divisions. Let us all unite in one great party
to vote non-voters into the offices they do
not want, but which they are willing to fill
for the public good.

Special 10 He Inter- Ocean.
DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 26.-Your CORE
spondent recently returned from his eastern
tour, aud finds that Jay Hubbell and his lieu
tenant, Mr. Chandler, of Houghton, are here
operating the " Hubbell boom" Since it has
become an open secret that the president and
manager of the Detroit Post and Tribune, the
Hon James +. JOY, is a candidate for the sem
ate, the assessment chief, Mr.. Hubbell and
his followers have assumed fresh airs
of boastfulness. 1t is also whispered
now that the Hon. James Newberry,
of Detroit, the wealthy ex-member of
congress, has adjusted his lightning rod, and
will also make an effort TO be chosen as Sena-
tor Ferry's successor. Yet neither of these
candidates, JOY or Newberry can count on
vote from Detroit or Wayne, as every repub-
lican member-elect is pledged to Ferry. The
few members whom your correspondent has
met here are outspoken Ferry men, and claim
that the abuse heaped upon the senator is re-
acting in his favor and more closely cement
ing his friends. 1t is said that secret meet
ing was recently held here at which the
defeated candidate for governor and his
BROTHER ex-Collector George jerome, Mr.. Nor
ley, the retiring immigration commissioner,
and a few others, who are out of position, but
which to get in decided to bring every effort
possible to defeat Mr.. Ferry, and with him
out make war on his friends. This naturally
creates buzz, but FeTys friends say it all
tends to crystalline his support The opposi-
tion to Ferry seek to prevent legislative
caucus, as IL is well known that largo ma
iority of the republican members-eloct are for
Ferry, but by delay it is thought possible to
sec and reach enough members to prevent
Ferry's election. If this scheme to defeat the
caucus should work, the democratic fusion
papers will naturally cry corruption and
l 1,,,s1. II
will be spirited, but the indications point to
Mr., FerTy's success His friends claim over
seventy members out of cighty-oue elected,
and are very confident the senator will win.

GENERALLY PERSONAL.

Coriolanus, noble Roman,
wouldn't give the voters tafy;
Wouldn't to | 'em they were brilliant;
Wouldn't tell 'em they we're valiant;
Wouldn't kiss the Roman babies;
Said he'd see their dads in Hades
Ere he'd buss the dirty youngsters
of a horde of dwelling buugsters;
Said no office I've would fawn for;
No, his toga hc'd first pawn for
What he neede,i; no. he wouldn't
Give 'em taffy; no, he shouldn't
Thus 1t was the noble Roman,
Fearless, peerless Coriolanus,
Just as might have been expected,
Never came to be elected.

THE passage by the senate of the bill re-
ported by Senator EpMUNDs from the iudici
AIRY committee, prohibiting officers of any
branch of the government from soliciting, or
receiving from, or giving to, any other such
officer any contribution for political purposes
and cXcluding from all government offices and
buildings the non-ollicial solicitors of such
contributions, seems to be as searching in its
provisions rs the most eNacting could devise.
The attempt to turn it into a travesty by for
bidding persons in Office from contributing at
all met with no success. The passage of this
measure by the house is a contamination de-
NYUrIy to be wished, aud ought not to wait

LOGAN ON PORTER.
The Senator Will Review Grants Defense
OF Fitz-Jolln To-day.


Gen. Logan's speech in opposition to the
passage of the Fitz-John Porter bill through
the senate to-day will take up the whole af-
tcmoon, and 1t may possibly run over into to-
morrow. The speech is one that will proba-
bly, be far reaching in its effects, and it will
attract wide attention for many reasons, not
the least of which is that portion of it will
be a reply to'Gen. Grants plea in behalf of
the court-martialed and disgraced Fitz-John
Porter. The senator will controvert Gen
Grants argument by Grant himself, quoting
literally from the great chieftains testimony
in the Warren and other cases, and from
his orders, written opinions, and ver-
bal expression of opinions rs to an officers
duty and responsibility when he receives
an order from commanding general or su-
perior officer. He will not attack Gen. Grant
in an unkind spirit, but will coninc himself
simply TO a matter of fact, recitation of facts
and let the facts speak for themselves and
make their own argument. An attempt will
doubtless be made in many quarters to distort
Senator Logan's speech into an attack on his
old commander, but it is hardly probable that
the relations existing between the gentlemen
will be seriously disturbed thereby 1t is
thought that the debate on this bill will not
be prOtracted to undue length, but that it will
be allowed 10 come to Il vote not later than
Monday, and possibly Saturday. The friends
of the measure say it will pass with the aid of
the votes of Senators Cameron, of Pennsyl-
vania, and Sewell, the entire democratic side
being counted on as solid. The bill will then
20 to the house, where it will be killed and
put in condition for q reintroduction next
session. Next winter it will go through the
house all right, with chances against it pass
ing the senate, according to popular prophecy.

II is not an objection to any man who now
maintains equal rights that he was formerly
an upholder Of the institution of slavery.
But it is a very great fault in man who has
once maintained equal rights to lend himself
to the schemes of the adherents of the lost
cause. Our morning neighbor must bear
with us if we sometimes refer to slavery by
way of showing the well known habits of the
bourbon animal.

BOURBON bitterness has never been better
exempliiled than in the present attitude of
the ultra wing of that party in North Caro-
lima toward Senator RNNsoM. Because of the
fact that the senator voted for the bill for the
retirement of Gen. GRANT an effort is being
made to prevent his reelection to the senate.
This is petty and petulant excuse for OPP
position, but is in keeping with the marked
characteristics of bourbonism. THE REPUB-
L1cAN would be better pleased if North Caro-
lima were to send republican to the senate (;
but if that state must he represented by u
democrat, it would be pleasure to recognize
Senator RANSOM as that representative. He
is unqucstionably an honest and capable man.
