from the mere strife AMI contention OF
politics.
This is as fair and f0rcible an argu
ment a. can be made in support of the
tenure of Office law. From purely
Mugwumpiau standpoint it is an excel
lent speech. But the people of tins couu-
try will not accept it. Il is impossible to
carry out any fixed policy with the law
as it stands. The people of this country
voted two years ago for change, and
for Democratic administration, en-
forcing Democratic principles.
Frankly speaking, the country has not
vet received the full benefit 81 this
change. The Democrats are in power.
but the great principles for which it
fought are not enforced. nor will they be
until Democrats are placed in office
throughout the country and in all the
Departments. In our judgment it should
be the first duty of a Democratic admin
istration to put Democrats in office.
Democratic principles, nor Democratic
policy cannot be carried out with Repub-
licans in office. We believe in efficiency
in the public service, but we also believe
that the fact that man Is Ia Democrat
does not disqualify him for making 8
good public servant
We can readily see how men like
Senator Edmunds would gladly get rid
Of the trou hle and annoyance of Office
seekers, hut that is no reason Why the
Offices of the country should remain in
the hands Of men whom the people have
condemned. We believe IN Democratic
principles and Democrats 10 administer
them.

he was relieved from the customs service
a small sore broke out on the left side

to be a cancer. This caused him con
siderable anxiety, and he became de-
pressed from day to day. For several

Trade Summary

F0riey's Yfu3e ftspprfS Dec. 10th, 1856:
General trade holds its own. and as an
average. compares favorably with the
status of week ago. The continuance
Of seasonahle weather and the rrarness
of the holiday season, have been the
chief causes for this steLdfastness. which
is more prominent IN the ordinary COM
merCial lines than in any others.
The increased activity in retail lines
has reacted through the larger channels
and even the manufacturers, who have.
been complaining more than the dealers
for the past month, are feeling the i'm
pulse. Under this, prices are held
stitlly. where they have not positively
advanced. and in the general run of in
stances, the buyers accept the figures OF
the seller without demur This shows
that the margin Of profit is al around in
creasing, and that trade is better because
there is better feeling generally. greater
abundance Of money and fairer run of
credit.
As last week, the dry goods trades are
still leading IN the business gain, AMI or
.
freely and abundantly than for some
time past. Not only are the orders more
plentiful. but they are averaging better
as to size, and the totals of trade are
gradually improving. The trade at
Philadelphia. which was noted as being
slow !aat week, has come up under the
impulse Of seasonable buying, and is al
this time. nearly up To the average
throughout the CouLtry.
The grain markets are SLOWLY up again,
and prices have gone back. This il not
due to the force of speculation, which
has been active in only small way, but
TO the discouraging and unex pected news
from the Northwest that SO often CON IS
in opportunely.
Cotton has been somewhat speculative.
and at present writing, shows signs of
fresh activity and a tendency 10 again
20 higher on the scale.
Wool is as firm as ever, and If any
change i TO he noted, it would perhaps
he fair to say that il is firmer than for
a long time. This state of Things exists
over the country, and prices are held
stiilly on all sides. The buyers are go
ing in to the idea that there is. at present
at least, no hope for any sudden col
lapse in prices, AMI yet, obey are gener-
ally taking hold lightly and pIrch asin {
only for actual needs.
The iron markets are appreciably
higher. The long-looked for circular
from the Thomas Iron Company came
with the close of the past week, and its
figures were higher than had been ex-
pected. though not higher than had been
hoped for.
The sudden stitfening of prices has
encouraged the dealers with the prospect
OF a better season than they had antic-
ipated, and contracts are being freely
made at the prices named in the Thomas
circular The Thomas Company, long
considered an auth orty of high stand
ing. is open in its prediction of a good
and strong market during. at least a
good portion of the coming year.
Ii the trade will stand this advance
as old judges say il can and will, the
coming season must be a good one for
all the iron trades.

\ bill has been introduced into the
United States Senate to repeal the ten
ure of office law. This bill came up for
discussion in the Senate Wednesday,
Senator Edn'unds spoke against it. He
sincerely believes in the so-Caiied civil
service reform now in practice, TO some
extent, in this country at present. He
argued that if the executives of State
governments could NOT be trusted las
they were not with kingly power, it was
still more important that the National
Executive should not be trusted with
such power. The philosophical analogy
Of public safety. the preservation of lib
erty against executive power and execu-
tive corruption made ii more important.
on the question of policy, that the Presi-
dent of the United States should not
possess the entire j''S diSpoHCHdi of ev-
cry official act and of every official per
son in the United States, than it was
that the executive of the State should
not possess it. The tenure of Office law
was a restraint now. Although the
President was making great number OF
suspensions, the passage of the pend
ing bill would he an invitation
more than an invitation, it would
be a recognition, an approval of the idea
that on purely political grounds of opin-
ion the President ought as his predeces-
sors had done before the tenure of office

every body who did not agree with HIM
or with some Department officer or with
