"Whek our national overnnicn'' was established the most far-seeing statesman knew little of what was be ioro them. They possibly foresaw our territorial expansion, auc dreamed of a time when a hundre. million of people should dwell undea our flag. But they had never seen a steamboat, a railroad, a lino of tele graph poles strung with a single wire, to say nothing of a dozen. They hac never heard of coal oiV or lucifei matohes, or reapers, mower, gang plows or sewing machines. Tlie would never have believed a fastmaL train could cross the continent in five days, nor the lightning flashing un der the Atlantic ocean on nine cables. If the fathers of the revolution coulc look down on thia country to-day the great corporations with their im mense woalth and power, would no startle them half as much as the ap pliances and men managing the ex ecutive department of tho TJnitec States government Their confident in "Washington, Adams, Jefferson anc Franklin, was so great that the thought it wise to put all the execu tive power of the government into the hands of the president. lie wa$ to choose all his advisers, assistants helpers, or clerks, called a cabinet subject only to the approval of the senate. Nobody could have foreseeL the present condition of tho variouj departments of tho executive govern ment. The cabinet officers were noi provided for in the constitution; the are only the president's hands to di his work. And yet, the fact is, to-day from long usage, each department has become an immense power, anc every cabinet officer is a ruler of al most unlimited authority. lu theorj he is subject to law; in fact ho oftei disregards and overrides the law. Th rules and rulings of the department: are regarded as higher than law, ant if they are shown to bo contrary t law, so much the worse for the law The people submit to the arbitrary rulings rather then appeal to thi courts. Litigation is expensive anc tedious, most men prefer to submii rather than fight. So powerful ha all the mass of rules and usages be come that tho president's power hat become a by-word. Even Grant said he had very little influence with hu administration. But presidents anc cabinets come and go while the de partments go on forever. The rea rulers are the old barnacles who sticl and control all tho affairs of ever department Presidents and cabinei officers cannot do otherwise than ti refer all matters of executive govern ment to the underlings, and in man instances they have made beautifu messes of it The stories brought back by men having business witL the departments, from time immemo rial, have been of the most extraordi nary nature. The circumlocution office has secrets more astounding than those of the inquisition. Th. same old conspirators from Jackson't time down rule the national executive departments, and they are tho won ders of the nineteenth century. A GOOD PGIXT. Leer Stoke, in tho Woman's Jour nal, says the whole northern countr is shosked that in Copiah county, Missi s ppi,and in Danville, Yirginh and many other parts of the south, legal voters are systematically de prived of the exercise of their right of suffrage. That this is an outrage that destroys tho very foundation of free government, by the people and for the people. It flouts the doctrine of the fathers, that all just govern ment is founded upon the consent of the governed. Then she very perti nently asks how muoh better is it in Suffolk count-, Massachusetts? There more than one half of tho gov erned have never been permitted to assist in chosing their rulers. No violence has been used in Suffolk county, to suppress the woman vote. The shot-gun has not become a fa miliar argument, simply because it JXB3 not yet been made necessary. If the women should rise and demand their rights, there is no telling what might happen. So far there has been peace, because half the voters ha ve quietly submitted to the outrage, and have demanded their right of fran cuibo oniy uy arguments, reason, logic, and sweet words of persuasion. Men have anoated the exclusive privilege of breaking them. And though there are sixty thousand more women than men in Massachusetts, men are the criminals in almost every case. But the widest contrast be tweon the people of Oopiah and Suf folk counties consists in the faet that the poor and ignorant are suppressed in Mississippi, while in Massachusetts the educated, wealthy class are sup pressed. Highly cultured and ro flned women, paying thousands to 4.V.-. L 11.. kui; Buppurt ui me government, are excluded from any participation in electing that government. In one case there is discrimination against tho worst; in the other against the best in the community. It will re quire keen research and profound reflection to decide which commits the greater crime against tho govern mentMississippi in excluding the negro or Massachusetts in excluding women. CAUSE OF PROSPERITY. No one will deny that all the necessaries of life its comforts, its :onveniences, its wealth all that contributes to life's development or lissipation, its protection or destruc tion, are the results of labor; that they are tho direct effect of tho em loyment of man s mind and muscle, ind can bo obtained in no other way. ft is equally clear that it is by the ;eneral use and consumption by man of all his varied products that the .ecossity for exchange and trade is created that the avenues to wealth ore opened to the non-producing classes; and that it is only by means of labor that all these things can be effected. It then followa that the imount of the consumption, by a community or nation, fixes the amount of its exchange and trade, ind that tho amount of employment of the people necessarily becomes the neasure of their consumption; that as the employment and compensation of the people increases so will bo the increase in their demand for the accessaries and comforts of life, and the trade that comes of prosperity. But that, on the other hand, as em ployment falls off and idleness in creases, with decreasing compensa tions, their demand for and "use of the necessaries of life must corre jpondingly diminish, and trade be comes reduced and demoralized. Manifestly, it these primary prin ciples are sound, it necessarily follows that the prosperity of all interests depends upon the full employment of all, and that idleness is a cancer that a-fll destroy tho vitality of every peo ple that permits its growth. General Butler is thus far ahead in the presidential race. Tho anti nonopolists are tho only party which has held a national convention, and jo is tho nominee. This is a great advantage over all the other candi lates, but there is still considerable arork beforo tho cx-governor of Mas sachusetts. Tho anti-monopolists are lumerous and enthusiastic, but the lack a majority of the voters of the country. The total vote four years igo for president was9,219,&17. Sup posing there are 917 anti-monopolists. General Butler will bo still severa" millions behind. He is, however, for tunate. He has received what Mr Slaine has never succeeded in ob taininga nomination. He should offer chromos for anti-monopolists. . A clever essayst in tho San Fran liscan argues that in this country nc nan should bo allowed to have more shan $500,000. So that is his limit Probably if the man that has half e aillion wore to fix tho limit he woulc jlacoit a million, the millionaire ai ten millions; the gentleman who b Aiq sweat of his and other people't jrows has accumulated $10,000,00( vould call tho game at twenty mil Jons, and so on. A man's pile cai lsually bo sized by the limit of thi into he proposes when the first deaj 3 being made. The surviving members of the convention of 1854, at "Worcester, fo; .he formation of the repubiicai jarty, propose to have a reunion thie mmmer. The twenty-fifth anniver sary was observed at "Worcester fivt years ago, when Hon. Stephen M. Allen, one of the presiding officers of the first convention, wrote an histor ical address for the occasion. universal depression or. trade is reported in the Euglif h towns devot ed to shipping. Steamers represent ing a capital of 120,000 are laid up in a single Scotch port, and over 120 ocean-going steamers lie idle on the Tyuo and the Wear. The sad fate of Sunset Cox should bo a warning to public men who assume the rolo of bumorists. He feels that he might have been elected speaker if he had never made a joke. Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make funny. The fact that El Mahdi, the false prophet, sleeps during the day and transacts all his business at night gives rise to tho suspicion that El must have been either a burglaror a chicken capturer at an early period in his career. A eill has been introduced in the senate providing for a tenth judicial district, to consist of the districts of California, Oregon and Nevada, and that the judge of the present ninth circuit shall be judgo of the tenth cirouit BORN.
