Richmond, ind., oec. ut i868. Appointments to Office. ' We do not propoao to advise General Grant how to make appointments to the forty thousand oQces be will be expected to fill aa'sooa as- !io becomes President, partly because he la not asAtd our advice, from which we infer ilut he does not want it and .partly I.ccnuse wc do notaupposc be. would take it even if tto should tbrmt it upou; hiin. -But we ventnre to enhoit to oinr reader? a few suggestions on the subject,1-so 'that they may hot be taken by, surprise if they should .find them substantially acted on when the administration passes into Gen. Grant's hands. - -' J I. All the offices of ftniB country are filled coir.' 'I OTbwe" ttjjr,!$rove sto be well filledwhere the aiw- President f.ncl that the- incumbent are -honest, faithful and efficient officers; and not of fcnivtly "oonoxious as politicians -it strikes us that it would .be wise to let thorn alono. "'The country will thus have tho benefifof "the experience' they - have -snjtJiJ t'U in iwniBcnargc 01 tu uuiicj, and the Trcesury will ho saved from the now swarm of hungry fllco-fieekers who nr aw? iting their turn..! -nst .a.. 1 II. The President will fm. himself j n i rounded by aa army of persons who j ri i claim tho rightof telling him whom j up may appoint and whom he must not. At tho head of the Lost will he the members of Congress; who will begin by de--sanding, as thtir xight, this control cf hia appointmeU. ,It would bewino, we th'u.k, for tho now President to begin by denying this right in toto, and by '.refusing, in the most positive manner, thus to surrender the appointing power into other hands. -. J a - - This claim of Congressmen to dictate the President's appointments, each for his own district, is comparitively modern ; but it has come to be very peremptory and absolute. No ono thing, probably, decided so many votes in the House in favor of impeachment as President Johnson's refusal to permit members to make his appointments for him. That is the way in which every member expects to pay his obligations o those who were most active, devoted, and effective in securing . his election. The Presidential patronage is assumed to be the common stock, on which the Members of Congress are to draw k for the payment of their political debts; their checks on that bank are the "legal tender" of the country. It strike us that it would be well for the new President to dispel that delnsion, and to give Congress and the country to understand that the offices of the country are parts of the machinery by which the Executive fulfills his oath to enforce the laws and carry on the Government. Ilis duty and his interest alike require that none but good men should be appointed to fill them. , ' III. . Congressmen may naturally be supposed to know more about the character and fitness of applicants and candidates for offices in their districts than the President can ; and be .may, .with rreat advantage, therefore, call upon t Lc-ni to tell him what they know about them. Upon the information which he .ny be able thus to'gather from mem 'iers ef Congress and others, he can, in 'Am exercise of his own judgment, be it-!c to make good appointments, but it should be his, judgment, and not their vi9hes, which - controls the selection. I'a member of Congrt6s . to tell the President why a man oujjht to be ap r einted, what arc his qualifications for f place, is to render the President a service; but fors him to demand an appointment in order to pay off a political obligation of his own, and to tell him who must be appointed and who must not, is little short of an imposition and an insult. . .',r..- r - , ;:t -.:. ;. IV. . The President may as well understand at first, what he will very Boon learn, that applications for office backed up by a great array of names of promly shams not worth the papr they are written on, and entitled to the least possible influence, t Nine men out: of ten, to whom these papers are presented, sign them simply because it is easier to sign than to explain why they can't. There are many men who make it a rule to sign every paper of , the kind they are asked to , sign. ? We can name a dozen men, Republicans, in this city, whose names General Grant may rely on seeing upon every application for office that is made from other' quarters. It is the most common thing in the world for men to "recommended" for responsible places persons of whom they know absolutely nothing whatever. This is one of . the principal ' sources of the absolute degradation that of late years has befallen the public aervice,and the sooner it is broken j; up and ' utterly destroyed the better' The President can readily 'find men,'? in ever district, upon whom he can call for information as to the qualifications of applicants, with a reasonable certainty ' ofgetting information Jtbat is , disinterested and trustworthy,,! l4.fr. ?sJ 1o cr8tj; V. We hope that Gen.' Grant will, so far as possible, restore the practice of the earlier and purer JJays of the .Governroeqt, by leaving, to each: Head of

aUment,-in -the main, the doty Hnd

responsibility of-neltcting his. own subordinates.''iIIe, will thus escape one of the heaviest and most repulsive of the many burdnV-thich the, arrogance and f selfishneBS ofcpdlitickl partisanship, ha -fastened oiihi9"offlee, and restore to the several Departments, as well as reclaim for himself something of the dignity and independence which justly belongs to ,them, and without which ' a proper perform a n JX-iSJ :raP0 5 1 c - We hope that the country may have the benefit of an crganized Civil Ser rice, on a system to be fised by law. in 'which ability, ' integrity, and efficiency shall be recognized as the requisites for getting office, and as the only thing necessary to retain it. But the establishment of such a system will meet the resolute hostility of all the most corrupt elements of our politics, and will be long delayed even if it is ever achieved. But Gen. Grant can, meantime, in organizing and getting into practical work ing the machinery of his administration, give the country the benefit of all the beat features of such a Civil Service, and thus do more than can otherwise be done towards engrafting it by law upon the Government and commending it to the cordial approval and support of the country. We hope he will do it N. Y.Time. The Financial Situation. Senator Morton's Views. : Washington, November 29. Late dispatches to some of the Northern journals state that Senator Morton, in an interview held latt week with Sauretary McCulloch, made the argument, in the course of a long discussion, that the Government wa9 not bound to pay fhe Five-twenties in coin,-and that it should now begin to redeem the issue of 1862 in Greenbacks.1 - -The dispatches also made the statement that Senator Morton would introduce a bill early in the session, embodying his ideas. The only financial measure which the Senator now has under eonsideiation. is a bill to redeem the .Greenbacks with coin, beginning the redemption ir 1871, and to discontinue the siles of gold, for that purpose. The conversation was chiefly in regard to the necessity of returning to specie payments. Senator Morton said that it was the first duty of the Government to return to specie payments at the earliest possible moment, and that all other financial questions are of secon dary importance compared with that at this time. Nothing whatever is said regarding the introduction of a bill for the payment of the Five-twenty bonds of 1862, with Legel -tender notes. The mode of paying the bonds was referred to, and Senator Morton said that nnder the law, as he understood it, the Govern ment had the right to use the existing Legel-tender notes in payment of those bonds. He said, however, that this question will be settled, and become unimportant, by a return to specie payments, and it would become important only on the condition that the depreciai ed currency was continued and no steps taken to relieve it. Senator Morton asked Mr. McCulloch what legislation he would recommend to bring about return to specie payments, and the Secretary answered that be knew of none to recommend, unless it was an increase of the tariff and such legislation as would develop the general resources of the country, by which the general credit of the Government would be improved. The Senator replied that it would take long time to arrive at specie payments that way. He further said that it was not the time now to talk about trying to pay the bonds in either gold or green backs; but to make our currency good . The interview was long one, and both gentlemen were very earnest in the (Ms enssion. Senator Morton believes that, while the qnestion of the redemption of the bonds of 1862 is at present unimportant, it will become a subject of vital interest if the present depreciated currency is continued for five or ten years. He says it is believed, by a large nuni- - nannia tht. t.h objections to returning to specie payments look as if there was an interest In not coming to specie payments; that men with incomes in gold were not anxious to dispense with such u profit. The Washington specials to Iho Cin cinnati Enquirer ot yesterday contain the following. , Governor Moiton is frequently spo ken of for Secretary of the Treasury, and if a Western man should bo selec ted; and his health would admit.it is be lieved he would be tendered that po9i tion. The Governor was seriously in disposed last night, so much so as to excite alarm, but he has quite recovered today. - , Senator Morton is not a candidate for a Cabinet position.. He prefers to occupy his seat on the floor of the Senate. Ind. Journal. : Ghost. A veritable ghost is said to have been seen at Centreville. Probably it's the ghost of that phantom whom Judge Johnson, etc., charges with having "stuffed the . ballot-box" at the "South Poll" in this city, in October last, hovering near the residence of our distinguished M.

, .-JLTmJ H i u Scene- a n Court Mr, D. G. Gibbon, a. studenVof Medicine,! was called up le lore one of the Randolph Street justices in. '-Chicago, last week, on a disorderly conduct war ran fsworr out. byl Miss Susan Neil. The complafnant was a very pretty girl. She blushed, hid her face, and stated that, she was forcedr to lake the present step only by the obstinacy of the prison

er. These two had been engaged, i and 4 many gifts and notes had pjiscd between them?" One day, for the merest nothing, he had picked a quarrel, broken the match and her heart, - and yet refused to return the seven love letters, the old glove, the curl and the ribbon ebe had given him. She supposed he kept them, and showed them to hi3 wicked associates, and boasted of them as trophies of his conquest of a fond and girlish heart. His Honor looked gloomily at Mr. Gibbon there was a Bridewell in his eye. . Mr. Gibbon replied that he greatly preferred attempting an amputation at the hip joint to falling in love with a woman. If a fellow had any feeling o! security about it, it might be different, but there never was any telling where one was to fetch up. He had tried ro-" mantle young ladies, and literary young ladies, and had come to grief every instance. Finally he had settled on Miss Susan, who was described to him to be a matter of ftct, biscuit baking young woman. He had paid her his addresses, making little gifts of saleratus and blueing, and receiving in return some ginger cakes. She was not to be too deenlv into sentiment. If he spoke of pootry, she spoke of pastry. If he spoke of radient hopes, she spoke of washing soap. A few days tigo he went to see her, and found her preserving. Something in the looks of the paper which she had put over the cans struck him, and he looked and found that she had used h'n love letters for that purpose. That seemed a little too cool, and he spoke of it to her. She replied that it was a wise idea of hers. All those beginning Dear Susan" went over the peaches, and all those beginning " My own love'" over the apples. She wish ed he would write one more of the lat- ' ter, in order to make up the number she wanted. He felt each, a woman would never do for him, sn l had broken off the match. As for returning her letters t it was out of the question. The words of iovc they contained were part of himJ eelf. When he saw them, it brought the old days back, the melodies of theymith of their love, before the roses had withered and before be ceased giving her saleratus. During these remarks the court wiped its eyes, took from its pocket a spare handerchief, . a small dictionary, some blank forms, an almanac, and last a 8 in all tin box, which looked as if it might, at some time, have held Seidlitz powders. This box the court opened, and took out a little parcel tied up in red tape, on which it dropped a tear and then said : 'Twenty four years ago this court loved a girl near Downer's Grove. Thi3 court corresponded with that girl by the weekly stage. In a moment of frenzy that girl jilted this court, and demanded her letters and a string of beads. This court replied it would not return the beads, which it had traded to a grocery store, and that it would not return the letters, when intreated by a brother to give them up. This court, to the great laceration of its feelings, knocked down that brother and stamped upon him. "It still retains those letters, though ehe who wrote them has emigrated to Missouri. Now this court does not in tend to stultify itself by taking any act ion against the defendant, who will be discharged. As for the complainant, she will be fined $10, which sum this court would assess on the person who jilted it, if it could get hold of her." Emerson, in his lecture on 'Greatness,' cited Count Gurowski for his stuidy independence of character. "Where is this bog?" asked he of some body in Cambridge, when he was poor, and in a strait for victaals and lodging, "I wish ' -- sH 'v Mrn' snme money." And on being remonstrated with that Kuch work would degrade him, he replied, " I can not be degraded; I j am Gurovski !" Two French jouraab'sts, once intimate friencN, met the other day on the grand staircase of the prison where editors serve out their sentence for press offences. Why, my dear friend, are you here?" " Yes, for three month3. And you?" "0,1 am here only for an hour. ouknow we are of different politics, and haven't served the same masters . You live in prisons, while I well, I inspect them." Once, when Jeff. Davis was crossing the Capitol . Square in, Richmond, a drunken North Carolina soldier stopped him and Inquired, " Say, mister, be'ent yon Jefferson Davis?" ."

A Wife's Parting Advice. A lady, parting from her husband a few days since in the cars at Albany, was overheard by the passengers to utter the following paragraph, all in one breath: "Good bye, Will; write to me every day, won't you? I'll expect a letter three times a week any way. Take good care of my Sunday-school class, for I'll want it when I come back. If Miss Smith calls, don't give her more that fifty ceDts, for we must support our own church, you know. Don't forget to bring my silk dress and my other shoes. Come as soon as you can.

the "gravel road law," was extensively I dragged into the late canvass' of this ! State, us an issue, by the Democratic party, who sought to ranke the Rjpubli can party of this State responsible for j the enactment of that law, which, it is ' said, is offensive, and unequal, and un ! constitutional. The measure was not in i aDy sense a party measure, having been opposed and advocated in the Legislature by Republicans and Democrats indiscriminately. But Governor Baker's course in signing the bill was liberally denounced by Democratic speakers, which had the effect in some localities to reduce the Republican vote. In our Court reports this morning will be found in full the decision of the Supreme Court of Indiana in a test case from Jefferson county, involving the constitutionality of this law. This opinion for the majority of tho Court was prepared by Judge Rat and sustained the law both on constitutional grounds and as a measure of wise public policy. J ustice Frazieu dissents from the opinion of the majority The law, as it stands at present, though constitutional and in its spirit calculated to greatly benefit the public as well as the private interests, doubtless contains defects that will come up for amendment at the ensuing session of the Legislature.
