?
All men onght to have found out by this
time that it ia never safe, either for a public
functionary or a private individual, to do
wrong. It is never safe to indulge in swin
dling, cheating or bribe taking. It is never
safe to practice corruption, any kind or de
gree of it It is never safe to indulge in false
hood, any sort of it It is never safe to do
anything which wonld bring shame to the
doer by being revealed. One may fancy his
misdeeds can't be found out, or have been
covered up, or can be so covered ; or that
they can be denied or explained away so that
people will be deceived about them ; but yet
it remains true that there can be no safety for
the wrong-doer, and no security against his
exposure. Though this look hard to some
people, It is nevertheless in accordance with
the fixed and irreversible moral law of things
aud of being. The only safety for a man, or
for a woman, is in refraining from wrong and
in doing right. Even in old times, at the
very beginning of human history, it was
said, "Be sure your sins will find you out."
So holds forth some contemporary in a re
cent issue, probably the New York Sun, but
we can not say positively. The aim of the
paragraph is to admonish men to do right—to
avoid swindling, cheating, bribing and cor
ruption—to speak the truth, to follow the
strait way of rectitude, to refrain from wrong
and to do justice, because the contrary course
i« followed by detection and leads to failure.
This doetine would be worth more in the eyes
of the student of moral philosophy if he had
not the constant evidence of other students
of this and other days, as well as of his own
senses, that not,a tithe nor a hundredth part
of the criminality and roguery of his fellow
a is brought to light. A hundred
thefts pass without punishment or detection
where one is made to pay the penalty of the
law.
The silent ground drinks the blood of ten
murders where tho gallows claims one victim
Fiotion enters largely into the daily discourse
of the street, the shop, the market and the
social oirde, yet there are few who bear the
stigma and odium of habitually doing violence
to truth. Iu not one instance in a hundred
are crimes against the social system followed
by detection. All over this continent and th6
world there are millions of people who daily
sin against their neighbors und against the
good order of Booiety, yet who are not
punished. Millions are rolling in riches ill
won by themselves or by their fathers, neither
rebuked by the press, nor censured by the
pulpit, nor put in jeopardy by the law, nor
shamed by publio opinion. They flourish
like the green bay tree and their eyes stick
out with fatness; they are not even annoyed
by their own steel-hardened consciences. A
hundred guilty or dishonest men escape
where one is pnnished. A hundred busy aad
cunning beads are employed in evading the
oonsequences of civil or penal suits where
there is one engaged in seeming the triumph
of jastioe.
There are good men and good women now
as there have always been, aud we hope and
trust^hat their number may never be less.
Some of them are among the lofty and some
among the lowly, or scattered up and down
through all ranks and stations of life. They
love morality more than others oan love il
licit pleasure. They love jastioe more than
they love splendor, wealth or power. They
love the right and therefore do no wrong.
Temptations are nought to them because all
vice and all wrong setm hideous in their eyes.
They are trnthful because they see the beauty
of truth and are attracted by it They shun
vice because it is hateful to them, and be
cause their natures revolt against it as a
healthy palate revolts against poison. Fear
of detecion has little to do towards keeping
them in virtuous paths, and finds no place in
their habitual thoughts.
Scoiety must protect itself, and the mojority
who find it their interest as well as their
pleasure to be honest must take measures to
prevent and punish depredations. The fear
of the penalty of the oriminal law has a
wholesome restraining power, and all good
men would be g'ad to see that power rigor
ously and invariably applied; but it is a power
that oan never make men who are prone to
evil hate what is bad for its own sake or love
what is good merely because it is good.
What our country needs is not so muoh the
fear of detection and retributive justice as it
is a reverence and affection for what is in
trinsically moral, right, noble and true. Our
eduoatioual system is faulty, and religions
teachings are only partially effective. There
are innumerable oases of inherited viciouB pro
pensities which uo scholastic, parental, or
ecclesiastical tuition or nurture can alto
gether cure or eradicate.
We oonceive that one of the best methods
of bringing honor and morality into high re
pute is to fill onr publio offices with moral,
truthful and honorable citizens. Another ex
cellent way to enoourage rectitude is to cease
from the ab-urd reverence that is paid to
wealth or what is called success, and try to
I honor real worth as it deserves,

or
"yP"J ot ^ e day in question, was Secretary
' " "
The amount of malfeasance in office will in
any country depend upon the strength and
constancy of the motive to plunder, the
abundance of opportunities for plunder, and
the extent of impunity with which the preda
cious propensity may be indulged.
The motive in our country is very strong
and may be measured nearly by the strength
of the love of money or of the iufluei e>, the
power, the deferenoe and the consideration
which the possession of money almost uni
formly commands. Avarice is a great vice,
but it is one which is fed by society and
fostered by the tribute of respect almost uni
versally paid to the possessor of wealth.
"Get money, my son—honestly if you can,
but get money !" was the advice of an
experienced parent in the candor of his
counsel, but more with reference to the
tables of interest and discount than to those
stone tables which were brought down from
Sinai. Avarice is our national vice, and re
proach and the official corruption which
grow out of it are chargeable more to the
moral malaria and infection which reigns in
the atmosphere than to the abnormal con
dition, the casual breeding, or the accidental
surroundings of the individual culprits. Iu
the modern American estimate money is
everything. The possession of it constitutes
the only aristocracy known to nine-tenths of
our people. Money is the only thing
that wins respect and commands
obeisance from the multitude. Ancestry
is a just source of pride to worthy descend
ants, but in point of solid and tangible ad
vantage it falls below money in the estimation
of men who love the reality of present power
more than the barren lustre of Ancestral re
nown. It is because we have no other gen
erally recognized arristocracy that wealth
comes in to take the place of it. To get
wealth has become the impelling motive in
almost all the transactions of .life.
Our institutions afford many opportunities
for getting money by evil means and especial
ly by perverting the functions of our numer
ous publio offices. Without reckoning post
masters of tho third and lower classes,
the officers of the navy below
the rank of first lieutenant or officers
of the many below the rank of passed mid
shipmen there are in the employment of the
government of the United States, those of the
several States and those of oitios not less than
fifty thousand persons who have more or less
of the publio treasury in their custody, more
or less of influence for the use of which a
money consideration can always be obtained,
more or less chance to form combinations for
perpetrating and hiding fraud.
The inducement to steal as well as the op
portunities are as great and as frequent in
other countries; the only difference is that
offenders abroad are more certainly and more
severely punished. The Bussian Collector of
Customs has as strong a motive and
numerous opportunities to put the
money of the Czar into his own
priva e exchequer, as if he were harvesting
tbe duties in Boston, New York, Philadel
phia or Charleston; but he has a wholesome
dread of the knout, the bullet of the execu
tioner or a life-long visit to the ioy and in
hospitable wilderness of Siberia. He knows
that when detected he will be pursued by
the representatives of imperial power until
he is run down, captured and punished.
If he has lost the spirit of fidelity the in
stinot of fear still keeps his hand from the
publio coffers. This severe and relentless
pursuit of publio offenders marks the publio
services of all the greater States of Europe
and prevents loss to their treasuries aud prev
alent corruption.
THE QUESTIO N OP I MPEACHMENT.
A writer in the New York World suggests a
point in law which appears to Boive all doubts
as to the impeachability ot the late Secretary
of War. It has been denied that Gen. Bel
knap is subjeot to impeachment,,inasmuch as
he had resigned, and his resignation had been
accepted by the President, before the House
acted on the charges preferred against him.
The better opinion appears to be that this ob
jection has no foroe, since it would be obvi
ously absurd to suppose that au official could
escape the constitutional penalty of perpetual
illegibility to hold office by the short and
easy process of resigning. But apart from
this the objection appears to be obviated by
the rule of law that a legal day has no parts—
that it can not be divided. Gen. Belknap
was Secretary of War on Maroh 2d. In con
templation of law, therefore, he was Secretary
of War the whole of that day, and, conse
quently, he was in offioe at the moment when
the impeachment resolutions parsed the
House. If the President had appointed a new
Secretary of War on tnat day the same rule
might have been oonstrued so as to make the
new Secretary the legal incumbent for the
whole day. Bat, even in this case, it would
seem that the new commission would take
effect only on the following day, inasmuch as
the first day and the last day of an official's
tenure are always counted in his term of
office, and, consequently, the last day of one
official's term can not be counted as the first
day of his successor's term. But each an
issue does not arise in this case beoiuse no
successor to Belknap was appointed, and,
consequently, it m€st remain undisputed
that the person who was Secretary of War for
of War for the whole day.
But it appears to have escaped the notice of
the writer in the World that the principles
governing criminal prosecutions are different
from the principles governing civil actions.
The case of the tobacco tax might, it is true,
be decided in favor of the goTerameut, on the
ground that the d*y on which the bill in
creasing the tax beexme a law could not be
divided. . But suppose that the act had in
creased the penalty for frand on the internal
revenue laws, say to ten years' imprisonment,
it is clear that the principle that a man oan
not lor "7 act subjected to a greater pen
**>" th * : im I ,06ed b ? law ^ **
** " «munitted, would over-ride the con
etructivetxteneion backward of the legal day.
This principle jp of universal application in
eriminal proceedings, and it wonld seem,
therefore, that ft
to Belknap's case,
impeachment being a form of criminal pro
ceeding provided for by the Constitution.
An accused person can not constructively be
brought under the operation of a penalty,
either by protracting a legal day or by carry
ing it backward. The whole case, then, turns
on the question, whether or not a person can
be impeached when not actually in office, ai d
the better opinion, as we have already said,
seems to be that he can not escape punis! •
ment by the device of resignation—otherwise
the constitutional penalty of perpetual exclu
sion from office would be operative only with
the consent of the oriminal himself.
Texas Post Traderships.
Gen. McCook, who has seen a great deal of
service on the Texas frontier, was in St. Louis
last week, and was interviewed by a Globe
Democrat reporter. The General was out
spoken and plain, and gives it as bis opinion,
based upon facts of which he is cognizant,
that all the post traderships have been made
matters of bargain and sale.
In reply to interrogatories, Gen. MoCook,
who has grown gray in the service, said :
" I confidently i xpeoted the exposnre, and
knew that it must come sooner or later. The
frauds alleged were known to me and to every
officer who has had garrison duty to perform
in the West, for several years past It ii not a
matter of wonderment to me, nor do I think
it will be to them, that this wide-spread cor
ruption should have been exposed. There are
195 posts yet to hear from, and rest assured
the returns have not begun to come in yet"
" Do you believe that the doubtful transac
tions shown to have been engaged in by the
Secretary of War extends to posts other than
Fort Sill ? "
" Do I believe so ? Yes, I do. Nay, I
think I might with propriety say that I know
so. Now that the investigation has been com
mened by Congress, if there is really a desire
to sift matters to the .very bottom, let them
send for the post-traders in all quarters, and
there will be such revelations of corruption
as will dwarf the case already revealed into
nothingness. This is bu: the en.eriig
wedge, which, if given the force necessary,
will rend the entire system of post-trading us
now conducted."
We are informed of a new invention,
"patent editorial stove," to barn original
poems. Very few poems have in them tire
enongh to render their spontaneous combus
tion probable. _.

several thousand engravings, maps, li hographs, ttc.,
altogether making it a most valuable work, and a

For members of the bar. the clergy and literary

wide scope of subjects, such as astronomy, geogra.

a great many laborers and mechanic« in this State

children. If we will start our own factor!ea and pat
ronize each other we coaid easily get along with one
factories of all descriptions. Oar money is all giraa
to the North and West, which ia millions of dollar*.
I have been established ia the Shoe Manufactory for
