Wc begin lo hnVo hope of the f?susci
Ktjniion of republican enthusiasm und
ultimate republican su':eess. Thai
there has been crent lukewarmnoKS on
gendered in republican ranks by die tip
parent fostering of corruption and cor
ruptioiiit-ls at Washington, it would be
lolly for any one at this day to dispute.
Any complaint or attempt to put a stop
to thtPo evil practices has been met
with swift evidences ol anger und dbap
proval on the part of those nearest tu
the 1'iohidcut. The people had really
be^iin to suspect that the President bi n
self was in clo.se affiliation with those
who were (bus intent upon the upli<-Id
ing of corrupt practices, l ut the receni
nccessiouB to Ins councils hive given
gratifying evidence to thu country that;
such is uot the ease. The republican
party can only be be d together by the
maintenance of an administration I roe
from all complicity iu fraud au 1 o rr?p
tion
Postmnstor-Gener.il Jewell and Sucre
tnry Bristow are evidently gen t hi til :u of
the old republican school, kW > h tvo eiir
lied into the cabinet, und poured into
the car of the President the grievances
of the better class ol ropuV.ieuus o." the
ujouutry. They have brokju through

have, during the past two ye irs. felt
that their advocacy or recommendation

Tho efforts making by Messrs. Bris

?abuses, the expulsion from the service
of tho government of improper officer*'.
and tho stoppage of leaks iu the tre.i
fcury, are receiving the cordial and earn
tht aid of the President, shuwiiig that
3ie lias becu the victim of gross decup
tion. Kvcry one cognizant of public
affairs has kuov. n that, for the last, four
years the public offices at the South
have been laigcly titled by most di
reputable characters, who have brought
the republican paity into contempt and
Wcakcucd its bold upon the people
When charges were made against them,
men of equally bad characters wore
*ent South lo investigate, who, ol course,
broupht back reports sustaining and
muiutuiuing the good character of their
Icllow-reprob tcs. They doubtless went
with instructions to return witlna white

th<?icuepn that they were the sub.-civi
< nt tools of I heir superiors. Through

Jmh from the ranks of the people, ligl.t
lias been tlnoun into the vision of tho
President, and as the lirst evidence ol
his deteru.illation to correct the cvi!s so
long ; complained of, telegraphic do<
patches were scut by the secretary of
the treasury on Saturday to ex G iy? r
nor Pe-afcO, of Texas, tendering him the
offico of collector of Galycston, an 1 by
tho postmas.tcr-gencr.il to Mr. Sabb;ii?,
of Galv.ston, tendering him the post
mastership of that city. Neither of
id.csu gcutlomcn had made application
)qt the petitions, and it is no' y- i
uowii nbcthrr thoy will uccopt tin in.
Tl.o President is understood to b.i\o also
x x] rossed his determination to iliac h ir e
nil inefficient und improper characters
Jrcni office,mid to tender their places to
llie very be.-1 men to be found in the
junks of the republican party. It is
jilso understood that tho views of Mr
Brielow und Mr. Jewell relative to the
dictation of members of congress iu the
matter of appoint meats of federal nlii
cials in the Stales and the departments
have met with tho hearty concurrence
of the President. Had these measures^
been adopted two years ago many dis
asters would havo bceu averted nid
New York and Pennsylvania would
havo been free from doubt as to the r?
Mill of the clecliou next week. Let us
hopo that tho advoni of Mess is. Bristow

General McDowell's Report

'It is a philosophical as well as a po

alluding to the solution of the diflioul
ties, adds that 'the pcoblcui presents
very great complications, and of which
1 do not myself sec a solution, and I
doubt if any one knows, although he
may think he does.' Of course, it was
