OFFICIAL ?NCOMPETE1SVS A CRIME.
There was never a belter tittie t?? establish
once for all us a s? tiled tact ii. our politics
the principle of absolute official responsibility.
Recent occurrences invite us to it, and publie
seiiliineiit as well as tile public safety demands
jt. Hy absolute responsibility, Yve mean the
holding public offleera accountable not merely
for the honest discharge of their immediate
duties, but for the efficiency- thoroughness,
and ability of their own work mid thal of
every one of their Miboidinates?in short, for
the complete administration of whatever
trust is committed to them. Our politicians
ami pullut nun have gol so much in the WBJ
of dividing responsibility and shifting it from
one office! <>i one department to another, that
it has sometimes seemed as though there was
really no responsibility anywhere, whatever
WCLt wrong. Only when a public officer was
caught in the very act of theft was he held
blamable] in all other cases?as, for ii.st line,
when he had Mundend at the expense of the
(?oveiiiiiicut. or i-.caiiit.tl had been raised bj his
laziness, inet?icieni y, m neglect, or some dis
boneet subordinate of his had cheated or robbed
the Government?he has been judged with the
utmost leniency as being personally no' in faull, j
"He is personally honest?11 public opinion has
said, and so dismissed the matter. We have ?
Carried this loose no1 ion of responsibility to
such an extent during the past live or six
years that intelligent, sensible men- who mean
to he patriots BO far us th? y can be consist?
ently with partisanship, hit v. not blushed to
?>e driven to say, as a last resort in defense of
the President of tim United states, "Well, I
?*? It-elievc he is personally honest.'' As though 1
we had eyer had nn Executive who was not ;
or as tttOOgh personal honesty was so rare a
quality unions us as to entitle its possessor to I
immunity for all other failings and faults, ?nul
to the most conspicuous place in the Govern*
ment.
In such a state of things it is easy to ?BOC
how the publk service would naturally and
inevitably loc?me corrupt. Nothing but utter
di iiioraii/alioii ((Mild come from such low esti*
mates of duty and ?responsibility, it i? not
strange that with such a slack grasp of the
true conception of what belongs to faithful
and honorable service, loo*-e and irresponsible
methods, and careless anti corrupt administra?
tion, should be so largely in VOgUC. I! isagrati
f\ tun indication of an Improvement in this
regard that in the recent investigations? official
Incompetency and negligence are begin*
iiini- to be Judged with less leniency
than formerly, and principals are beginning to
acknowledge their responsibility and to be held
BCeOUntable for the aits of their subordinates.
When Secretary Delano, in his sharp corre?
spondence with the original Indian Commis?
sion, asserted so broadly hi? responsibility for
tiie acts of hi?- subordinates in the Department-,
Whatever may have bein his motive, there can
be no doubt of the correctness of his position.
It was much more C1 editable to him than
j the recent effort by persona in his interest
to saddle the responsibility for Indian frauds
upon the religious denomination?? which
mon mended the agents. Messrs. Beach ami
Richmond were equally strong in the position
tit .-st assumed hy them with reference to the
Canal frauds perpetrated while they ware mem?
ber*, of the Canal Hoard, though it may be
doubted if either of these gentlemen would
baVC been so eager to assume responsibility
had they known a little earlier the facts as they
appeared before the Governor's Investigating
Commission. The principle is a comet one.
It hohls public, officials to a ripid accounta?
bility for the honesty and faithfulness of every
detail of the ?ei vice they have contracted to
give tim State. No other rule is possible ii
the State is to he fairly and honestly served.
The present is a good time to take a new
departure; to settle beyend controversy this
I whole business of oilicial accountability. Let
it be understood that the man who aco pts an
office like those hy virtue of which Messrs.
Mi ach and Richmond ht Id a supervisory rela?
tion to the canal COU tract awards, holds it not
merely to draw a salary or serve a political
?party? but under au exprese contract himself
to do the work the Mate is entitled to. The
man who accepts an ollice for windi he is unlit
and knows'he is unlit commits a crime against
the State, and draws from its treasury un*
earned money. ile who neglects the
duty for which the * State pays him
is equally criminal with those who
draw unearned mono] on unbalanced bids or
by any of the King methods. Sinecures aie
robberies J and incompetent public officers
through whose Inefficiency or negligence the
Slate stilhrs are as much criminals as they who
take advantage of their retnisBuess to plunder
the tax-pay? in and rob the State. The ImpulsS
in favor of administrativa reform will have
accomplished little of permanent advantage
unhss it establishes as S rule of political action
trie principle h< re laid down, tliat official in*
competency is a crime; not mere weakness,
but positive and pronounced crime.
THE GREAT GEOEQIA BEBELLION.
The letters of our stall nu np tindent in
Georgia give the only clear, complete, und cool
narrative that has yet appeared in any quar?
ter of the ?gnat servile insurrection. He h.m
gone into the disturbed district with a deter*
iiiinalion to gel at tin* bottom facts, and as he
possesses peculiar QUIdiiications lor such an in?
quiry, including, among others) a ?good knowl*
, edge of th?* negro eharacter andu strong fund
i of common sense,, our readers may depend
i upon obtaining from the story which we
continue this motning a great deal of in
tereeting infusmatioa not readily ko Im- found
elsewhere? It dins not appSM that tin re was
??\.T very serious cause for alarm over this
..... i/i'ii conspiracy. In ii.- oii-.mii it was the iu
vi iition of a few foolish darkies who hail no
grievances to complain of, aud i_o di.* ti mt
plans to compass, except perhaps the election
of a "military general" for parad?: purposes,
ami the pun hase of a drum to carry at the
head of their processions. And yet in attain?
ing this comparatively modest ambition they
were reudy, if their own confessions are to he
believed, to advise wholesale pillage and
slaughter, with a vague idea that somebody?
they did not know who?was keeping them out
of certain of their rights?they did not know
what. For it is a curious fact that while the
ultimate puni?se of the plot was so trivial the
measures to be adopted to secure its success
were violent in the extreme.
Just how much the original handful of half?
wit ted Conspirators meant to do is hy no
means certain ; but it wa*? probably not the
tenth*part of what their followers imagined.
The thick-headed field-hands who heard the
proclamationaof "General Mon .s,"and the calls
to meetings and conventions read out in their
churches, got the idea somehow that they
were bound to " obey orders,'' and if they
-loud by their color and Insisted upon theil
rights, the time Wits i lose at hand when they
Would get the long-promised lt-oon of the
treedman?forty ?Serai anti ? mule. The story
told so many years ago that the Boothera
?Segra generally expected this allowance as the
natural oonsequeace of enmncipation was not
a ?fiction. The Alabama investigation last year
showed the Hann* rosy expectation subsisting
ill that ?Slate, and the developments of to-day
prove that it still survives in Georgia? If the
whites resisted the appropriation of their pmp
erty, it might become necessary t?? kill them
in ob?dience to orders: but that Georgia was
ever very near the blink of actual massacre
we must take leave to doubt.
The "great insurrectionM however has done
good by the strong light It has thrown upon
the condition of the two noes in this part of
the ?South. If ?there was a disposition any*
wheie to hanai and oppress the negro u_
might have looked for it here. The political
power is all In the hands of the whites, bul
the colored ?people are so numerous as to he a
perpetual mu?ere to the white supremacy j
just the situation of things to stimulate
Kii-Klnx violence and make it tolerably
safe and easy. _t t wo lind the ex
master and Um ex-slave living together
In peace? The ruling rae?* i? ju-t; the -sub?
ject race is generally happy and contented.
Even winn a crack-brained conspiracy has I
been discovered, the white man, boin in the !
fear of negro insurrections, does not'nish for
his gun and revolver, hut merely calls out the
constable, and insists that the accused shall i
have a perfectly fair ?trial. There is not even I
an attempt to make political capital out of an I
affair which docs really Illustrate some of the
worst mischiefs into which the earpet-bag '
system of managing the negroes by extrava?
gant promises and Beeret organisations has led
theos ignorant and excitable people. If this
had occurred dining the memorable "outrage
"campaign-," we doubt whether the Depart?
ment of .Justice would have allowed the
occisi?n to pass without the intervention of
the troops. Hut it ondit to be plain now that
the Southern peuple have s r?sped for low aud
order, and are capable of behaving admirably
uni? i the strongest provocation, and the lea
ion will not be lost apon the country?
Til E LATEST CACKLE OF THE INFLA?
TIONISTS,
Nothing can be moro sen- 1? ss than the hos?
tility manifeste 1 by inflationists toward banks?
not merely banks of issue but banks of all
kinds. The great Sangrado and his disciples
have lifted np their voices against bank-, and
the explosion of the Bank of California has
lair!> Intoxicated the whole baud. Kelley goes
lound reciting solid chapters out of Gouge's
ferocious "History ot Banking-." while the
"inverted pyramid "and vue epithet "Brit 'i''
are made to do more than eight boors1 work a
day anning the lag-inoiiey masses. A stranger
would ?imagine thal to compare a thiug to an
inverted pyramid, and call it a result of
"British credit," worked ?rome powerful charm,
so constantly are those coiijiiri.ig phrases u-id
as a substitute for every logical pmces.. Men
who have the pOWCTOf obSM \ ing and thinking
for themselves do not need to be told that
banks are now not lern firmly established as
part ol the social machinery of every civilized
nation than the printing press and tin- steam
engine.
It i*? probable that property wa* transferred
fiom one man to anothei i?. means of erodit
long before money was Invented. The em?
ployment of money did not put an cud to the
transfer of commodities by credit, but in?
creased the number of wich exchanges. The
invention of banks added still more to the im?
portance of ciedit as a factor in trade ami
commerce, and their multiplication and im?
provement have assisted the progress of civ?
ilised races in all other directions. Bat credit,
I through all its ramifications, from the loan of
a quarter of beef to the deposit of millions in
the 15.ink of England, is dependent for sta?
bility apon the prudence and honor of those
who conduct its operations, in San Francisco
credit has been outraged, as often happens In
new countries of unbounded ?natural resources.
! The principa] bank of the Pacific -tates has
been undermined and destroyed by practices
which should be criminal, if they arc not so
already, and moat distress will piobii.lv fol?
low. 'Ibis disaster forms no rgument againsl
eredit or banks, but more than the explosion
I of th, Westfield, boiiei did sgaiuet tin steam
j engine?

AN OLD LADT S SPEECH.
This is a season of ?anniversariesj and the
local and little ones are as Interesting lo their
way as the national and gnat ones. The Mad
(?iver Pioneers held an annual meeting mar
Tremont, ohio, ob the ?_lst of August, and
talked over the days of the log cabin, ot
w ililli edifice a miniature model iras* exhibited.
There wai aleo a great display of other an*
1 ?eut objects?iron spectacles, ii i. hackles,
??hi homespun limn, table clot!,-, non
thimble?, a peculiar pocket-book, "for*
"nieily til? property of a Quaker;"
?pewter plates, "a carving-knife and
" fork need at the dinner to which the Signers
"of theDeclaraCioo ol Independenceaat down
"after the naines had been duly affixed to
"that Instrument"?sal down with good sppe*
tites we hope, 'liiere was also the very ink?
stand into Which UM illustrious Signers dipped
tin ir jil us. The genuine character of these
articles was roncbed tot, and they will
doubtless m xt year find their way to
Philadelphia. But the living antiquities
were the nio*t interesting. Then was
.John Idle (cillions misnomer() "age D5

"of the country;" there waa Mi. Sector, who
in hi. boyhood "used to see tea Indians t<?
j "one while man;" and. above all, there was
?he old lady, lira? Fanny .Thompson, B2?
wini made .1 speech, und an exceedingly
?good speech it mil t li ive hi eli. She,
too, li.id experiences With the Indian-.
She talked of the time when Tommy
Robinson married Peggy ?-tonus, "and all the
"eountry tar and near, without distinction, was
"invited." She ?brought with her and exhibited
specimens of the M store ?goodsn of her early
days?blue and white checked calico which
cost 75cents a yard?"and it didn't then take
"15 yards to in,ike a dress," she said] "six
"yards were sufficient.'1 Bhe had with her
also samples of Calico which cost ?*?'l per yard.
So she prattled OO lo her pleasant way ; but
lnr own presence must hive ht cn the most
entertaining and Instructive of speechea? It
told Of a life Ol patience, pel -i-ltluc, and
simplicity of purpose? It told the old story,
which eau never bo too of ten repeated, ol'large
results from sutil beginnings. These honest
i?-ople who .settled on M ni iii.? r, who subdued
the foresta, who survived hard seasons and
lillian Wins and all manner of discourage*
incuts, scarcely stoj ped to think that they
were laying broad and deep the foundations of
a magnificent commonwealth. Their ipiiet
neb?? venu-ut reminds as of (he wisdom of
