Toes lay Morning, December 8, 1874. The most satisfactory declarations made by Air. Obamberlain while a can? didate, and repeated substantially in | bis inaugural nfesaage, jwere .that he proposed to set aside the bounds and trammels ,of party, and ba the Go? vernor of the whole people. ? 'Viewing dispassionately the policy ahd platforms of p?noiple8, whieh were enunciated during the canvass, he rooognised the substantial harmony of purpose whioh was reached in the result of the eleo- \ Won. He professed to depend for sup? port upon those who opposed, as well as those who supported, his election. This was the more confidently to be | ceiled >bp'ont because political differ? ences were thus to be held in abey? ance, and more especially because the principal, present and pressing demand was .for tho practica and enforcement of economy and honesty in tho admi? nistration of the State Government. The justice.of this demand, as made by tbo Conservatives of tho State, was admitted by their political oppouents within it, and all parties outside wero earnest in insisting- upon it. Here, then, j was safo ground for a newly ejected Go vor a or to take hi a stand upon, and great satisfaction was felt that Mr. Chamberlain proposed to make good, honest and fair adminis? tration'the oorner-stone of his policy. Banning our eye over his message, we find the thought constantly pre? senting itself to his mind, that the main -eause of the troubles and embarrass? ments, the excessive taxation, the enormous inorease of debt, and the demoralisation of the pnblio sorvioe, must have been the irresponsible and worthless character, the iguoranco, in oompetency nnd dishonesty of those ? smploved in it. He considers the tax system, for instance, as likely to work oat a just result, "if it could be placed in tho hands of honest, competent of? ficers," and he pledged himBeif to see to it, that so far as its workings would depend upon his appointment of the right kind of men to conduct it, no County should have cause of jast com? plaint against htm. His references to the whole system of contingent funds, rvbioh the public officers have recently .procured to be passed for their use ?without being made accountable for them, to the shameful and extravagant -wasto.of the substance of tbe people in legislative expenses, to tbe fortunes that have been spent in the public printing, to the issue of orders, certifi? cates aud warrants on the State Trea? sury when no funds were on baud for their paymeut, to the inefficiency of County School Commissioners, 4c; all have the same moaning. Filling these positions, or standing behind these abuses have been men?bad and incompetent men. The theory of tbe message was, therefore, that auch men muBt be worked out of the way of doing tbe State barm, aud better men wo ked into their places. Its funda? mental idoa might be construed to be, iu tbe pointed emendation of John Randolph, of Roauoke, principles and caea, in place of tbe current phrase, of principles, nut men. Increased as onr oonlidetice has been tu the Governor, by the sentiment, tone and purpose of his first message, we feel a certain degree of apprehen? sion as to his success in carrying them into effect. Men 6uriouud him who know nothing bat party and self, and the advantages and opportunities wh'ch partisanship, rigidly insisted upon, will give them. They are net, aufl from tho nature of the case, can? not be reformers, iu any jast seuso of j the word. They hate tho ideas whioh j it conveyH, however frequently aud' lusciously they roll the term upon rheir lips. They are ouly party hacks, and corrupt old stagors, who can and will do no honest work. They will be? siege and beset tho Governor for ap? pointments to oilhe. They hunger and thirst for tho pnblio crib. They bone for the flesh-pots and all tho savo? ry condiments to which Ihey have been asod. Tho Governor might na? turally enough foal inclined to oblige friends who havo shown zeal in his be? half, and thero can be no objection to liiftv doing so, where tho parties uro above reproach and suspicion. Bnt just here will bo his danger. This is tho rook, if any, upon which the honorable and just expoetatioua of the country may bo wrecked. It will re? quire oareful pteering to go botwecn Scylla and Oharybdis. Tho Governor can only secure the confidence of the State by gaorifioing everything, evon partisan friendship, to right and jus? tice, And thero Can be no right and j ustiee unless the fountains and sources of the public admlnlstraU?l^ore kept pare, healthy and clear. The logical dedaotion from the inaagaral is, that only good aod-capable joen ehall have devolved upon.them the roeponeibili pxop.er principle, of seleotion,- und tuatj principle in uot primarily or mainly party or party service. T.kB Precedent Not Applicable. When the Speaker of the House ot Representitifes, after a week's iccuba tion, batohed out the oommitteos, into whose hands the public interests were to be confided, wo said nothing, al? though wo observed exclusion of most of the capable, experienced and dis? tinguished momber3 of the House from any of the leadiug positions. Now we have bis reasons, in certaiu explanations offered a few days ago. The fact that the chairmanship of no important committee had even been given in the United States Congrc?s to a representative of a minority party, (as asserted,) is aonstroed into a pre? cedent, and admitted to be the ground of tho Speaker's aotion. But it is un? tenable ground. The arena of Con? gress is entirely diffcrout from tbo Le? gislature of a State. Even if true, a wise view of thinge, as they exist here, would hare counseled a departure from its stringont enforcomeut. The party in power having ruined and disgraoed the State, Bhould have r^cognizod. through the Speaker of the House, tho presence of representatives who have oome fresh from the people to assist in the correction of evils, the reform of abases and the overthrow of oorraptfon. Their power to instruct, to lead the way in useful and necessary reforms, having boon recognized by the people themselves, who sent them hero with that object distinctly in viow, they were entitled to tha opportunity of exerting their influence and per? forming what we may call their mis? sion, under tho most favorable condi? tions. The rigid purtyism of ussigu ing to the most insignificant plaooe the mon best fitted to lead tho State out of its troubles, by wise, discreet uud far reachiug legislation, as well as by ex? posure of past errors, wrongs and corroptious, oannot be defended upon any grounds. Even us a party expo dieut, it can servo no good or lasting ends. The country requires a more capable, more enligbtoued and a more just administration of publio affairs, and tho country will have it sooner or later in some way. True policy would recognizj this demand frankly at once, and shape things accordingly. The spirit of reform would gladly welcome the best agencies to effect it. ? < ^ ??? My attention being called to the fuct that Dr. Fisher, Mr. Blakely aud Mr. Greenfield were members of tho City Council within the last ten years, their places ou the Committee of Twenty will be filled by Captain Sawyer, Mr. Diercku and Mr. Mayraut?Mr. Gulick to act as Chairman. Cuptaiu Soua says he hat not been in tho Council within the last ten years. s EDWIN J. SCOTT. Uhairmuu. Columbia, Deo. 7, 1871. Mrssaue or PitttSiDENT MacMauon. A Paris despatch gives tho following .summary : Order has btvu maintained through? out tho country. Tho relations with foreign govoruuiontn are ou uu excel? lent looting.

Another Case of Cremation.?An? other very satisfactory cremation has bocn performed at Dresden, Saxony, in the vi?ry name furnace employed for j the consumption of Lidy Dilko'sbody Again the body was that of a lud?, thi wifo of a Geriuati physician. The ??o lemuity duo to euch a ceremony was closely observed. The hall around the furnace was decorated with flowers, but so unreasonable aud prevalent was the prejudice against thin means of dis? posing of tho dead lady's remains, that no clergyman could be found to speuk a burial address over her body, and this lack whs supplied by LTorr Siemnds, the constructor und pru piietorof the oven, who made uu ap? propriate and impressive speech. The process of cremation was screenud from the eyes of the lady's friends by an iruu door, but opportnuity was given a limited number of scientific men to witness tbe transformations as thay took place. Thebe gentlemen de? scribed the speotacle as free from any? thing offensive to the .senses or iinngi uution. There was no smoke or nn sightly change iu the appearance ol the body. Aftor tbo colliu was con? sumed the corpse appeared, first in iis nutural state, and rapidly passed into tbe successive stages of red aud traus lucent white bent, and from the latter condition crumbled into ushes. Iu seventy-eight minutes all organic mat? ter was gout*, and all that remaiued was a small heap of ashes, which v.ere gathered into au nrn. This is decid? edly tho most successful experiment yot recorded. ?. ? % ?. Likk Mastrr Likb Mas?The Now York Commercial Adrurliser gives the dotails of a case that occurred in a New York Criminal Court a few days ago, in which a dry goods clerk wus on trial on a charge ot dishonesty, preferred by his employer. The litter gave a woman two one dollar notes, which she was to baud tho youug mau, as if by mistake for u single note. The trup was well baited, aud the youth fell into it, patting tho odd dollar into his pocket. But bo was not without a fence. Iu his own behalf he stated | that ho Lad been educated to dis- , honesty. Iiis employer had been ! selling "damaged goods," representing that they bad beou wetted ut a tiro, when in fact the hydrant in tbe cellar was brought ijto requisition tu da? rn ige thorn. Tho Commercial adds: "The cleiks were compelled to tell falsehoods about the goods, and were thus trained to rascality. If law aud justice were- synonymous, tho young ! man, who simply followed out bib j employer's teachings, ought to hivej been invited to step down aud out of ' tho prisoner's dock, and hi.s employer j should have been sent to jail. As it j was, tho accused wus acquitted. But ; tho moral of the trial is worth its cost j to the city treasury. A business man] who cheats his customers may b? -nie j that his clerks will rub him." New Mexico and Colorado io i:e Admitted, in Order to Strknoiien tug UKi'unr.iCAN Majority in the Sekate.?The fir.->t important political act of tho Senate, it is understood, will bo tho favorable consideration of the House bills providing for tho admis? sion of New Mexico and Colorado. Both Territories have a large llepubli onn preponderance, und their admis? sion would add to the So mi to four Uu- ' publican Senators, und to tho Uousu two Republican members. It. is thought by the Senators now in Wash? ington, that tho Republican party should commence "hedging'* for their present aud futuro protection; and while at tho last session tbe Eastern Senators were jealous of adding mem? bers to their body by tho admission of tho sparaoly sot tied Territories, j*et the recent Democratic successes have bo gotten a wholesome conviction iu the minds of tho leaders of the party that uo advantage should be lopt.
