Q The Metropolitan Bank Affairs.

New YORK, Oct. 17.-The directors of the
Metropolitan National bank have issued q
circular to the bank stockholders asking for
permission to put the institution into lioui-

belief is the Metropolitan bank could go into
liquidation. The bank is losing money ac-

effects of the Seney failure. A prominent

tyyn Service.

Under Che administration Of the Re-
publican party, Offices Of the Fed
'eral Government have become very
desirable as aiEording the occupants
an easy life and considerable sum Of
money. Thousands upon thousands
Of men put forth every effort to get
into a "soft place" in Uncle Sans
house. Every man in authority UNI
der the government is flooded contin-
ually with letters petitioning for places.
II is the dream OF millions OF men in
the Republican party that some day
they may get into office. And the
fiattering JUNCTION which the bosses APP
ply to the greedy office-seekers keeps
the party together. The sweet hopo
OF lounging in an elegant room and
drawing plenty of money is power
fnl incentive to patriotism and loyal
ty and the party's strength lies in its
success in keeping millions of Office
hunters under this charming delusion.
Of course comparatively few of the
many Republicans, made to boil over
with boisterous loyalty by the hope of
place, can succeed in getting into Of
fec, and hence the party of "great
moral ideas" is nothing more than
"the madness Of the many for the ben
eft of the few"
1t is, indeed, right that the officers Of
the government should be well paid
for their services, but the remmera-
ton of public officers should not be SO
large as to awaken in the minds Of
millions of men an Unsuitable desire
for Office. Reform is much needed in
the civil service. The Republican
party is the author of the present
abuses, and it will hardly be prudent
to trust it to make the needed reforms

1t will take a good deal Of white
wash to cover up all the dark spots in
Mr.. Blaine's record This early in
the campaign he is thrown upon the
defensive. The leading papers that
support him devote a large part of
their space to explaining his dark and
crooked actions. 1t is always a bad
symptom when a mans character
needs so much explanation.
His dishonorablo connection with
the Little Rock and Fort Smith rail
road has as yet been gilded by no ex-
PLANTATION. Nor does it seem that
thore is possibility of a plausible ex-
PLANTATION of his shameful prostitution
OF his power as speaker of the House,
through motives of personal gain.
The simple facts speak with stubborn
force.
These facts are briefly as follows: In
1869, bill was before the House of
Representatives which sought to re-
new land grant to the Little Rock
and Fort Smith railroad of Arkansas.
An attempt was made to defeat the
bill by an amendment, and was about
to be successful. Mr.. Blaine, acting
rs Speaker of the House, sent note to
Gen. Logan requesting him to make
tho point of order that the amend
ment was not germane to the pur-
poses of the bill. Mr.. Logan made
the point of order and Mr.. Blaine sus-
tanned him. The bill was thus saved
Mr. Blaine wrote at once to the mana
gors of this railroad calling their at
tontion to the services he had render
cd them. In return for this service
Mr. Blaine received the appointment
as selling agent of the bonds of the
road in Maine, and a number
OF such bonds as his percentage. Mr..
Blaine in writing to Mr.. Fisher, one Of
che promoters OF the railroad, limited
that his position in Congress would en-
able him to do the company good SER
vice, and, that he would not "prove a
dead head in the enterprise" A com
mittoe was appointed to investigate
the charges. Mr.. Mulligan, the pri-
waite secretary of Mr.. Fisher, held the
letters which Blaine had written to
Mr.. Fisher. Mr.. Mulligan appeared
before the committee and testified
that, on the day preceding, Mr.. Blaine
had implored him to give up the let
ters,asscrting, among other things, that
their publication would "sink him
Immediately and ruin him forever
Mr. Mulligan stoadfastly refused tc
surrender them, but allowed Mr.. Blaine
the privilege of reading them, When
Mr.. Blaine got his hands upon the
letters he thrust them into his pocket
saying that they were his letters, and
he intended to keep them. The com
mittee demanded that Blaine appear
before themSn the 21st of June anC
exhibit the letters, On the Goth o
June, Mr.. Blaine on his way to churcf
received a sunstroke, and remained il
his bed until Congress adjourned.
1t is asserted 10y Blaine's supporter,
that there is nothing dishonorable il
these letters. and that Blaine
did not want them to be published
simply because they were of
personal nature. 1t may be taken al
rule that whenever you find con
cealment in the conduct of a publ,
officer you made discovery OF I
fraud, %The quality Of nothing need
mol such hiding"
