Tito coMiMmitr*' Directly and Indirectly the Journal la preoatng the claims of Gorernor Morton to an •lection to (he United States Senate, to tneceet) Senator 1*jM, la an arttele in its Saturday’s Issue, discussing “th$ Senatorial question,” thftpaper remarks: “It has been supposed that the parliamentary experience of a legislator is beneficial to the aspirant for Congressional honors, and that a long and useful career In State affairs would St one properly to represent the Stoto In the National Government. For this reason the office has been looked upon heretofore as one of the most effectual means of acquiring that knowledge of tho needs of the State which U one of the tirst requirement* of a United States Senator. The gubernatorial chair has therefore been considered the stepping stone to the Senate, not on aeeonnt of it* abasement to persons! ends, bnt because, it is natural and proper to look upon the mnn who has faithfully Slled tbs highest offiee in the State as beet calculated to represent it in the highest legislative body of tho United States. The large number of Governor* who have sat In the Senate attests tbs strength of this opinion, and the ability of that class of Senators has been such as to require something more than a sneer to convict their respective gtatea of folly In sending them there.” It Is plain to see from the above extract not only, hut from the tenor of the Journal article throughout, that In its opinion Governor Motion has a claim upon the Senatorsblp by virtue of having occupied the gubernatorial chair, and for the additional reason that the party whom he represents are under obligations to him which can only be cancelled by gratifying his ambition to the utmost of its ability. It is a fact that a large number of the Governor* of Indiana have been elected to the Senate, but In nearly every case they have had large legislative as well aa executive expcriocce to quality thein for the position. But we can not accept the argument of the Journal In behalf Of its favorite, that “ it is natural and proper to look upon the man who has faithfully tilled the hlgheat office in the State a* best calculated to represent it in the highest legislative body of the United Slates,” hence it must be regarded aa a “ stepping stono ” from one place to the other. The qualities necessary to constitute a good executive officer, and a good parliamentarian, are different, and often has It been the caso that the ludivldual who exhibited executive abilitiee of a high order made so reputation as a legislator. Gorernor MorTon has had but little to do with public affairs except as an exeeutlv# officer, and while h* may be all that bis friend a claim* for him in that regard, he is untried In the branch of public service to which be aspires. It would be idle to deny that he ha* ability, but Gorernor Morton has not the education and experience to rank him aa a statesman. Nor has he in his public career given evidence that he posseeaes statesmanlike qualities. He is mainly distinguished aa a hold, unaerdpulous and successful party leader—succesaful because unscrupulous in the means he has employed to achieve success. The Journal remarks that " the gubernatorial chair,” on account of the knowledge the possessor obtains of the need* of the State, “ has, therefore, been considered the stepping stone to the Senate, not on account of its abasement to personal ends,” etc. Undoubtedly Governor Morton has a sufficient knowledge of State affairs— not superior, however, to a large number of other citizens—to fit him for the Sena’o, if that was the only qualification needed; but there are others in which he Is, perhaps, deficient. Has he exhibited thus far in public life that abnegation of self and those high ^virai qualities which should distinguish a i bo limited States f Oii thu bwteftiictfa^'lfift he not used, we may say abased, his present position to personal ends? The files of the Journal Itself, since Governor Morton assumed the gubernatorial chair, will present the evidence that he has. We presume that he has not conferred an official appointment or an executive favor without hie regarding It as placing the recipient under lifelong pertonal obligations to him. Many a man who received a military appointment from his Excellency has besn denounced by that print as ungrateful, because he could not conscientiously follow his partisan lead, basing the ingratitude upon the ground that they had been " made ” by him, aa though the office was his private property. What regard has Governor Morton ever exhibited for the Interest* of Indiana unless to advance his own pecuniarily, or gratify his own i:. u .alnate vanity, pride and personal ambition f Does not his gubernatorial history present Indubitable evidence that It has been an "abasement to personal ends!” We think hispeisoual'’-lends would find It very dlflloult to point to a disinterested act in bis whole political '■areer. What caree he for the welfare of luulana, unless o. P. Morton is the gjinei ? It is well known that if a man or an Interest stands In his way, both his executive and per-ional favor Is withdrawn. When sub•ervlency ceases, with him friendship la at au end. Should public position be conferred upon any man whose official career has given evidence ef its " abasement to personal ends?” The Journal well remarka that it “can conceive of no more vicious theory than that which denies the claim* of a brave soldier or a wise and patriotic statesman upon the country.” W# admit that the ad mi ol*t ration of our public affairs should be confided to " wise and patriotic statesmen,” whose private Interests and personal ambition would always be subordinate to the public welfare. There tsjust at much need of integrity in public as In private life. Honesty, aa well m ability or cunning, Is a necessary quality la those to whom are intrusted the administration of public affairs. A selfish and unscrupulous partisan leader is otten successful in aiding or securing the triumph of his party, but is it wise to place the Government In the hand* of that class of men a* the reward for such services? If we expect peace, progress and stability In private and public affairs ws must discard party tricksters and demagogues from the councils of the nation. Being In the minority, perhaps we have no right to discuss the claims and merits of those who are seeking high public station*—a seat "In the highest legislative body In the United States.” The dominant party act upon ths idea that tbs minority have no righto or interest in the Government which they are bound to respect. Be It so. What we say may have no Influence on •• the Senatorial question,” but ws can assure our radical friends that we can stand the running ol the Government machine by demagogues just as long as they can, and we are just beginning to realize some of ths results In high taxes, general depression in business affairs, and suffering among the laboring elas-es all over tho country. And we need not look fur a change as long as tlokera and party iri<-k»iers are sent to the highest legislative body In the United States, instead of statesmen and honest men.

Flank movement in Dliseonrl,

The radical papers are very much horrified over the reported movement on \h* partoi several ultra radicals la Missouri, numbering among them such men as B. Grstz BROWN, Governor Kletciikr, and U. T. Blow, in favor of nnlversal suffrage and naiveraal amnesty. These leading Missouri radicals propose to go even farther than this. They will recommend the Legislature, at Its next session, to reject the constitutional amendment, remove the disabilities which the new constltation of that State place* upon her citizen* who were in the rebellion, and enfranchise the negroes. The radicals do not like this proposition, because It restores the rebels to all the rights of citizenship. They are willing that the negro should have suffrage, but tbs White man, because he erred, yet returned te hi* alleglanoaia good laith, must be disfranchised, tie made the inferiors of the Inferior race. If this policy should be adopted, would not the governments of aeveral of the Southern States be turned over to ths negroes, and the whlte-'lnhabtunto be placed completely at their centre) f Who that has ths welfare of the country at heart would desire to see such a state of affairs? No one, nnlese some malicnant spirit, whoso party prrjndleea and partisan hate override* all maalinaas and pride of race. Kora than this, what benefit would a State governed by negroos bo to tho baienoe of tho Union? Would oho oantrlhato any. thing to tho general wealth, psy nytrfbet* for the support of the Government, cr add ta

nay way to tho common welfare?

VKo ladopoadeat Ti The Cincinnati Ckuetl terms Secretary 1 financial affairs.

euteeptsble of a groat many abuses. Meet of stock, produce, and la fact, property generally depends In a great measure upon the volume of currency. Either a sudden contrscUon or iifstia ef the currency will necessarily have th* offset to raise or depress prices. For Insteaee, If tho Secretary of the Treasury should suddenly withdraw from tho baaks a large amount of th# Government deposits, the result could not be otherwise than to create a distrust or panic in the money market, which would Increase the value of money or decrease the prieea of stocks and all articles easily affected by sudden fluctuations la monetary affairs. On the other hand, If the volume of currency should bo increased by heavy deposits of Government funds with the hanks, money would be cheaper and prices would correspondingly advance. It is charged that the fluctuation* In financial affairs for som| months past have been owing in a great measure to Secretary McCcixocu, who has been operating in the money market in the manner that we have described, simply for speculative purposes, and that large sums of money have been realized through theae treesury operations. These charges may be tn.', and the present stringency In the currency, which Is causing so much trouble throughout the country, may ba owing to the causes named, but whether It is so or not, it can he readily perceived that such operations could produce such results, hence the policy of removing this great and dangerous power from tho hands of ono or a few individuals. And the necessity of such a step is made more apparent when the power may be unwisely exercised, not alone from mercenary considerations, but by an error of judgment or groundless alarms as to the safety of the Government funds. More than tbli, the necessities of the Govcrament itself might cause a withdrawal of its deposits from the banks; and If they bad been loaned to their customers, aa they probably would be, this sudden call upon them for the return of the lunds could not result otherwise than in causing wide spread embarrassment. Perhaps no public measure ever met with more opposition and ridicule than the sub Treasury system, as It was termed, when first proposed. A fter a fierce contest It was established, and finally, Its wisdom having been fully demonstrated, it commended Itself to even those who had been its most bitter opponents. Before the system was adopted the Government funds had bec.i deposited in the United States Bank and then In the State banks, just the plan now in vogue. The funds thus deposited were used as a basis for banking purposes, and the only compensation the banks gave for tbe use of the deposit* was to transfer them to any point the Government Indicated without charge. The very evils occurred then which are now taking place. It was in the power of the Secretary of tbe Treasury, by decreasing or increa-ing the deposits in tbe banks, either for spec dative er party purposes to seriously disturb the business of the country. To avoid this dangerous exercise of pwwer the Government became the sole custodian of Its funds. The plan resulted most favorably for the interests of the Government and the country, and It gave more stability to financial affairs than bad existed from tbe formation of the Government. . A return to an independent treasury system will no doubt meet with determined opposition, especially by the national banks that are now the custodians of the public funds. >Ve suppose tho same argument will be made against the change that was when the proposition for the cub treasury was pending—that tbe locking up the funds of the Government only to be paid out upon checks from tfcs Treasury for the legitimate expenses of the Government, would result in great ineonvenlence and injury to the business interests of the country. Such might be the case temporarily, but it would soon be found that a dangerous disturbing element in financial affairs had been removed, which would abundantly compensate for the temporary inconvenience srot.'''the change might oecasecuro the safety of the public funds. They would not be subject, as now, to the disaster* which may happen to hundreds of banka. There would al»o bo more stability in financlal affairs, for tho business of the country would then be based on private capital alone. Tbe present control of tho public finances, and tbe fuading of tbe public debt, will continue with the Secretary of tho Treasury a power, unless restricted, to change alues as he may wish. It is tbe duty of G ogress to prevent a recurrence of the evils to v hlch the country has been and is now subjected, to fix upon a financial policy which will be known to all, and no longer subject tbe-u:onetr,ry affairs of the country to the caprices or Interest* of any one man or set of men. Ji this way only can confidence be restored and business affairs be placed on a healthy and permanent basis. Tbe Government should not be a banker, even Indirectly, and while its financial policy should he adapted to the necessities of country and to tho development of It* industrial interests end resources, the people should understand just what it is, as well as the Secretary of the Treasury. If tho policy was open he would be almost powerless to change values, to put up or put down prices, changing tho volume of currency and by throwing Government securities upon the market, or withdrawing them, at bis will, as he now can and has done. Nothing should be left to bis discretion that can be provided for by law, for no matter how wisely the exercise of power may be intended, the financial interests of tbe country should not be subjec cd to tbe will or judgment of one man, however skilful), sagacious or honest he may be. Queer Financiering. It Is stated that the Secretary of the Treasury is withdrawing greenbacks from circulation, notes which hear no interest, and substittng therefor bonds which hear a heavy rate of Interest. Tbe vacuum created by the withdrawal of greenbacks is filled by NVionai Bank currency, from which tbe Government derive* no hem fit. There are some four hundred million dollars of national bank currency in circulation that perforins no sen ice which greenbacks could not. Would it cot have exhibited some little financial sagacity f the Government bad supplied tbe currency necessary to carry on tbe business of tbe country directly, thereby saving some twenty-four mllllont of interest annually, instead of giving that bonns to bankers for supplying a currency based upon precisely the same security—the faith of the Government? The Government virtually furnishes the capital of tbe National Banks without charge. Is not that claA legislation with a vengeance?

political tempests.

We have, it ia true, firmly and with great unanimity rejected the “ amendment ” which waa devised for our dishonor; Dbut this baa been done by tbe Legislatures of aeveral of tbe Southern States with* calmness and form of argument which baa not failed to impress most favorably the Norther* mind. The recent reports of many of the agents ef the “freedmen’s bureau” have also borne ample evidence to the justice and kindness of the Southern people toward the liberated naeron. It ia now the rarest thing in the world for even the Chioniele to contain a monstrous falsehood about our barbarities to the “freed-

n»en.”

But something infinitely worm than political apathy has fallen upon tbe North since tbe election. The radical victories have been followed by unusual dullneas in the bust a ess world. This ■tarnation of trade ia felt in New York, in Philadelphia, in Boston, and ta many other c- ntres of trade. The manufacturers and importers alike complain of it, but it ia moat seriously felt in the retail trade. Dry good* hangs heavy as lead upon the market, and the indications are unmistakable that we have, aa yet, scarcely entered tha very threshold of the impending crisis. Before the late election!, aud while the Northern masse* were so demented by rage as to fall down and worship such unclean animals aa Butler, Brownlow and Hamilton,they took no heed of the fact that tha fruits of tbe great radical victories were mere apples of Sodom, full of the ashes of disappointment and sorrow. They failed to preceive that the practical disunion which they were sustaining with their votes waa doing them as much harm, if not more, than it waa doing ua. But mow that there are no new and exciting questions before the country, now that the "Torch and Turpentine committee” has disappeared, and now that the exhaustation of the fund ap. preprinted to hla use has silenced Butler, they are doming to their senses.

A Singular Case.—Ono of tbe strangest and most unaccountable phenomena that has ever occurred in Switzerland countv, the Vevay Reveille aaya, tool© place in the vicinity of Bennington, one day last week, by the of Mr. Jerry Newkirk, aftt

Tbe Equal Rights Convention. A correspondent ol the New York Herald gives the following personnel of the Equal Rights Convention that recently assembled in Albany, that State: personnel of the convention. In this view, a moment devoted to an analytic review or the convention may not be out of place. The convention awaits the call to order by tbe Preaidentress, and in the meanwhile let us look at the personnel. Altogether the ablest, moat dignified and best balanced man in the bony is Frederick Douglass, and there is a deep feeling for him, for United States Senator, In spite of the drift of the convention, which is evidently is favor of a candidate with considerable strength, favoring as she does the copperheads, the Democratic party, and other dead and burled remains of alleged disloyalty. Susan is lean, cadaverous and Intellectual, with the proportions of a fite, and the voice of a hurdy gurdy. She is the favorite of the convention. Mrs. Cady Stanton Is of lntellectual stock. Impressive in manner and disposed to henpeck the convention, which, of course, calls out resistance and much cackling. Her late tournament for Congress, in which she won eight votes, against James Brooks and Colonel Le Grand Cannon, have given her assurance and ambition tor office. She scouts Greeley’s pretensions for the place, and regards him as demented ever since the first battle of Bull Run. Susan has a controlling advantage over her, however, in the fact that she is unincumbered with a husband. As male members of Congress rarely have wives in Congress, so female members will he expected without husbands at the capital. Indeed, the whole Influence of tbe convention is for moral reform in high places, commencing at the White House. Fred. Douglass meets with the same old prejudices in this body, "against color;” for these people, humanitarians, are opposed to "culled pussons” having these places of honor and profit about to be enjoyed, as they anticipate. Parker Pillsbury, one of the notabilities of the body, is a good looking white man naturally, but with a cowed and sneakish expression stealing over him, as if he regretted he had not been born a nigger or one of these females. He sees that he is to be thrown aside

as broken crockery.

Lucy Stone, the President of the convention, is what the law terms a " spinster,” and looks as though when about her proper business she could at the spinnlng wheel "do her three run a day.” She is a sad old girl, presides with timidity and hesitation, is wheezy and nasal In her pronunciation, and wholly with-

out dignity or command.

Mummified snd fossilated females, void of domestic duties, habits and natural affections; crack brained, rheumatic, dyspeptic, henpecked men, vainly striving to achieve the liberty of opening their heads in presence of their wives, and self educated, oily faced, insolent, gabbling negroes and Theodore Tilton make up the less than a hundred members of this caravan, called by themselves the "American Equal Rights Association,” in which no two agree upon any one thing, and wherein the chief pleasure of all is to be displeased

with everything.

'A Cantraet.

If the old abolition party ever boasted of a truly honest and consistent zealot, it was most assuredly Gerrit Smith. After a long silence this venerable pioneer In the antislavery cause has written a letter from which the Butlers, Logans, Forneys, and other foul mouthed expounders of the radical gospel of hatred and proscription now in vogue, might well take a salutary lesson. Instead of Brownlow’s three divisions and Butler’s eleven camps to cow the South, be advises us to win

the hearts ef the people by setting them "an example of honesty and justice.” Instead of magnifying the culpability of the South, lessens It by showing that the fault lies in an equally great degree with the North: The doctrine of State sovereignty contributed materially to this armed rising of the South. But this was not an exclusively Southern doctrine. It enjoyed wide spread favor at the North. Moreover, the Constitution’s not sufficiently guarding against it, makes the whole nation measurably responsible for the pernicious doctrine, Jefferson and Madison would have given it no countenance, had they seen It to be clearly violative of the Constitu-

tion.

in speaking of Jeff. Davis, he displays the

same Catholic spirit:

Mr. Davis has, indeed, wronged his country; but so, also, has the country wronged Mr. Davis. The country moulded his proslavery

own

ler, instead of invoking punishment

head of Mr. Davis, had better fall on his knees before him, in penitent remembrance of his own prominent connection with the exceed-

ingly wicked proslavery Democratic party.

What a contrast between Gerrit Smith, the

man

in times when It required not only strong convictions, but no small share of physical and moral courage to do so, and the Butlers, Logana, Forneys, and other cheap champions who have hugged the negro since they found
