In another column we print a petition
- signed by a large number of the principal
h merchants of this city to the Senate to con
firm the appointment of Judge King as
Collector of this port. The Impression
has prevailed for some months past
that the Senate would not confirm the
appointment of King; hence this very
weighty indorsement. This impression has
grown out of the fact that it has been from
the first an open secret that Mr. King was
appointed at the instigation of Tom Ander
son, and that his appointment was in the in
terest of the Returning Board. Indeed, the
President said as much to our eminent fellow
citizen, Mr. Charles Gayarre, a few days
after Mr. King's nomination. Mr. Gayarre
was an applicant for the office of Naval Of
t ficer, which position was given to Jim Lewis,
and he called to see the President to present
in person his eminent claims. In the course
l of conversation Mr. Hayes said in substance:
- "I have appointed Judge King, an old citizen
of your State, Collector at New Orleans. Your
- people will say that the appointment is a re
cognition of the Returning Board. Very
well, my friends elsewhere will say that
is right. I do not care for Louisiana." Thus
we have Mr. Hayes' own confession that he
appointed Jno. E. King in recognition of the
services of the Louisiana Returning Board to
the country.
And Mr. King did not long hesitate to show
to the country that he understood the motive
of his appointment and his true relation to
Anderson, Wells & Co. Assuming charge of
the Custom-House, he delighted the public
with his promised schemes of virtue and re
form. He wrote a letter to the Secretary
of the Treasury so soft and dulcet,
so full of noble resolves and virtuous
saws that the President and Cabinet
were enchanted and the Secretary
wrote back to the Collector that his letter was
fully approved, and that all appointments
made by him would be promptly confirmed.
The Collector had said so much about reform;
he had given out so many stories of stormy
interviews between himself and Anderson
and Wells, in which the two latter had always
sneaked off like whipped curs, that the coun
try now stood on tiptoe expecting to see
the last member or attache or friend of the I
Returning Board kicked down the Iron stairs
of the granite building. How was public
anticipation realized? The first thing we
heard was that an efficient officer, against
whom no charge had been made, was ex- -
pelled from the Important post of special i
deputy, and that Mr. Tom Anderson, under in
dictment for forgery, and as notorious a cor
ruptionist as lives in Louisiana, was appoint
ed in b is place.
There was, of course, a general outburst of
indignation. But Judge King's friends gave
out the report that he was not responsible for
the dismissal of Champlin and the appoint
ment of Tom Anderson; that it was the doing
of the President and Secretary of the Treas
ury; and thus they somewhat calmed the
public feeling toward King and concentrated
it against Hayes and Sherman. John Sher
man, however, tells a very different story.
On being asked about the appointment of
Anderson, he authorized the statement as
coming from him that "every appointment
asked for by Collector King had been made,
and that neither the department nor the Pres
ident had attempted to interfere with the ap
pointments made in New Orleans."
This, though the statement of Secretary
Sherman, a man utterly unworthy of belief,
has the internal evidenceof truth. The letters
of Sherman to King telling him that any ap
pointments he might make would be con
firmed; Anderson's relations to King and the
President's observations to Mr. Gayarre, all
go to convince us that Gen. Tom Anderson,
one of the most infamous of the Returning
Board, indicted for forgery, and liable to in
dict ment for having stolen eighty thousand
dollars appropriated by the State for the im
provement of Bayou Crocodile, is the chosen
deputy of King, and was appointed at King's
instigation. His confirmation by the Senate
therefore, would be an indorsement of the Re
turning Board and a disgrace to that august
body.
We think the citizens of New Orleans who
signed Judge King's petition made a mistake.
Not one of them, we believe, would under any
circumstances, or for any purpose, give coun
tenance to Tom Anderson or any of his fel
lows; and yet they have asked the American
Senate-that body in which such men as
Webster, Clay, Calhoun and Davis once occu
pied seats-to confirm in this important office
the tool of Anderson, and thus recognize the
legitimacy of the proceedings of the most in
famous body that ever disgraced the country.
It is to be regretted, we think, that this has
boon done. The signers of King's petition
recognized in him an amiable and well dis
posed man; they doubtless believed the oppo
sition to him was animated solely by office
seekers eager for his place, and looking on the
matter in that light, they give him the weight
of their names. But in truth, it were better for
the country that any man in the Radical
party should have received this appointment
and this influential indorsement than the
friend and appointee of Tom Anderson.
The New York Times waited to hear from
the "Western Reserve," and then the "subse
sequent proceedings interested it no more."
Having heard from the land of Garfield, it
observes:
The falling ofi in the Republican vote is
heaviest in the strongest Re ublican districts,
and the dist aisfactine with Judge West's un
fortunate socialist expressions early in the can
vass, as well as with the President's Southern
policy, has been deepest in the Western Reserve.
But what a lecture it reads the Administra
tion and Stanley Matthews for this fearful
defeat! In this connection it has compiled a
series of questions, more fearful for Ohio Ad
ministrationists than ever was the old Pres
byterian Catechism for Sunday school juven
ility. They are as follows:
U. If the result occasions no surprise in the
Administration circles, why was principle
sacrificed with the view of averting it ?
A. Because civil service reform is a fraud.
Q. If It is traceable to cau-e9 which have
gridualiy acquired strength sufficient to make
it inevitable, why did the liepablican managers
add to foreordained def-'at the disgrace in
volved in a want n abandonment of convictions
previously cherished?
A. This is not an Administration of convic
tions; we are running this thing for all we can
get out of it, and we added the "disgrace in
volved" because we thought it would win.
Q. And If the President is able to extra' t con
solation and even encouragement from the
fact that the poll "y condemned by Republicans
commends itself to Democrats, why should the
Administration trouble itself to prevent Demo
cratIc success ?
A. Ask Oeo. Wm. Curtis about this. But,
since the Republiesns have- coademned the
ells,, we doa't know that we asse troubled
aft wai a uent~~ gwsneIl
we aereeafter e itii the relaioaf prte
ni to the Adfluin trton, its personntel anJ poicy?
i1 A. D-d if we know.
Q.. Finally, are we bo conclude that the coun
1 try has entered upon a modernised era of good
li the President oaring more for the
n rieny rofessions of the arty that labored
ito kee m out of his office than for the party
that struggled to place him in it, and depending
e for his reward upon the magnanimity of par
tisan opponents rather than up 1 the honest
appreciation of long tried friends?
A. That's just about it. There's Jim Blaine
1 and Conkling, Ohio and Iowa, which, in the
s light of "long-tried friends." have shown us an
"appreciation" that is-well, say, overwhelm
o ing. Give us a rest.
E The Times, after observing that the South
Sern policy did it all, and that the veterans of
the Western Reserve felt that they had been
3 betrayed in their blind vindictiveness against
- the South, winds up its catechism with the
following question, which it answers in a
t most sensible way:
SQ.--Of what avail is the assurance that the
President's policy extorts praise from thie De
mocracy?
L A.-The fact remains that the Southern people
do not allow the conciliatory acts of the Ad in
istration to wean them from their alliance with
the Democratic par ty, and that the Democrats.
while hailing the President as a practical ex
pounder of their views, continue to vote for
their own candidates.
