Ancicnt and Modern Wealth. If now-a-days one is in possession of a million of dollars he is almost worshipped. It is now supposed that the

Sprague

family, of Rhode Island, is one of the richest in the land. They have built a monument worth $100,000. Much is spoken of the fortunes of the Asters, Vanderbilt, Stewart, and Rothschilds, but all their wealth lacks significance, compared with fortunes of olden times. Ptolomaus Philadelphia, in Egypt, had a fortune of $550,000,000. Cleopatra drank a glas3 of wine in which was dissolved a pearl worth $40,000. Stewart, in New York, built a house that cost $500,000. What a pittance! Cicero paid §1,500,000 for a couutry seat. Messella paid $2,000,000 for a homestead. Seneca, a philosopher, was worth $12,000,000. Tiberiots left property worth $12,000,000.

Now-a-days every one is astonished if a man gets in bankruptcy with $100,000. Julius Cwsar owned $14,000 before he had any office. Marcus Antonius owed $1,-* 500,000 on his election March 15th, aud paid it oft'May 7th. Not enough, he afterward cleared $720,000,000. Now if an entertainment costs $1,000, it makes old people's hair stand upright! What is this to the old Roman times? ^Esop, the poet, paid $400,000 for a single party. Caligula paid the same price for a supper. They drank old wines worth twenty dollars an ounce, and roasted pigs over fires made of nuts and raisins. The bedsteads of Heliogabulus were of pure silver and gold. Eighty thousand dollars were necessary to keep up the dignity of a

Roman Senator. Cicero and Pompejus once paid a visit to Lucullus. Nobody was at home. They helped themselves, and it cost Lucullus $4,000.

The capacity of Rome's theaters was fabulous. The wooden theater of Sharurus had 80,000 seats, the coliseum 87,000 seats besides 22,000 standing places. Rome had then betweeu three and four millions of inhabitants. The circus Maxim us had room for 3S6,000 spectators. There were at that time nine hundred public bathing places. In the fifth century after Rome was plundered by the Germans and Vandals, Zacharias a historian, reports from Rome 384 streets, 80 golden statues, 56,597 palaces, 13,052 fountains,2 ,785 bronze statues, 41 theaaters, 2,300 perfume stores and 2,291 prisons. Thebans had paid for income duty in one year six millions of dollars. Alexandria had a library of 700,000 volumes, and that at a time when manuscripts were rare and costly. Athens had the theater of Bachus, capable of holdiug 30,000 people.

SPEECH OF SENATOR SCHURZ.

Powerful Arraignment of the Administration.

Interestlne Correspondence on Civil N«rvlce Reform—Concise I-cttcr from Horace Greeley on that Subject.

ST. LOUIS, July 22.—At a Liberal Republican meeting at the Temple to-night, called for the purpose of electing a County Executive Committee, Senator Schurz delivered a very lengthy and elaborate address, of which the following is a mere outline:

The Senator started out by saying Standing before my constituents I deem it my duty to give an account of my public conduct, the motives which have governed it, and the ends it is intended to subserve. I can do this in no better way than by expressing fully .and frankly my views on the events which have produced the present extraordinary situation in our public national affairs— events in which I took a small part—aud also to state what I consider it my duty, as a patriotic citizen, to do in order to promote the best interests of the republic.

It has been my misfortune to displease many with whom I co-operated on the political field for many years, and from whom I now with great regret find myself separated. To the attacks to which some of them endeavor to overwhelm me, I have but one answer.

He then reiterated what he has previ ously said about never considering his party the supreme arbiter of his sense of duty. He said

When I was honored with a seat in the Senate of the United States, I affected to support the Administration which then came into power. The tasks it was called to perform were of unusual importance. The civil war was over. Its logical results, the abolition of slavery, and the organization of a free labor society in the South, were just being reduced to political form and imbedded in the Constitution of the Republic. The first great object of our policy should have been to renationalize the South to revive among the Southern people feelings calculated to attach their hearts again to the fortunes of this Union for let us not indulge in the delusion that the holding together by force of its component parts is a basis upon which a Re« public can safely rest or long endure. It requires that bond which binds together the hearts of the people, and not their bodies only and to create that bond was for us the highest object of statesmanship.

He then refers in detail to the different acts of the Administration party, going over the ground traversed by himself and others in the Senate. In regard to the San Domingo matter, he made the following statement:

When the Santo Domingo scheme was pending, two gentlemen of intimate relations with the White House came to me, each one separately, soliciting my support of the project. They assured me if 1 would give that support, or abstain from opposition, all the patronage I desired would be at my disposal, making me iu that respect one of the most influential men in the land. One of these gentlemen subsequently admitted to me in writing that the offer was made to me with the consent of the President himself. He said he had withheld this statement a long time, in spite of many provocations, and made it now only because, as the papers have recently stated, the President himself put forth the assertion in a published interview that he (Schurz) has opposed him because he had not received as much patronage as he wanted.

He then dwelt upon the abuses of patronage and the evils of the civil service, stating there never was a time when the latter was more like a thoroughly drilled and disciplined organization of political agents, or when the public interest was more shamelessly ruled by political exigency.

Referring to President Grant, he said I should prefer not to speak of him did he not stand as the embodyment and personification of the pernicious system which derives from his individuality its peculiar character. Gratitude for his military services aud respect for his office have long restrained many from ex-pressing.-their real opinions concerning him, I shall be the last man to forget or to carp at the great services he has rendered in the held of war. The honors he has won and the laurels he has gathered shall not be touched. But now he is a civil officer, and he asks us to continue him at the head of the civil government of this republic. With this question his laurels have nothing to do. When he ascended the Presidential chair it may be said that the whole people sur-% rounded him with a cordial offer of their confidence and willing aid in all he might do to give the country good government. There was not a statesman in the Republic who would not have been ready, nay, proud to serve him at his call. He might even have reinforced his supporters from the ranks of the opposition. Accidental mistakes would have been readily forgiven. The evidence of pure motives and honest efforts would have easily silenced factious clamor, but his career as President warrauts the conclusion that he has never been able fully to appreciate the difference betweeu a military command and the complex duties and responsibilities of civil administration. I doubt whether it has ever become clear to his mind what the Presidency means in our system of government. When that high office was presented to him, he took it as a sort of national reward, an accommodation—a place in which, after his military exploits he might make himself comfortable. His mind seems to have been but little disturbed by the great duties and perplexing problems he was to take in hand.

It was soon discovered that, for his future success, he needed organized partisan support. It was easily had. The required alliauces formed themselves by natural gravitation. Soon we find him surrounded by political managers—the Camerons, the Chandlers, the Mortons, the Conklings, the Butlers, etc., ready to do his work if be would do theirs. It was a matter of congeniality. The interests of the President and of such political chieftains identified themselves without difficulty, hejaiding them [with the Executive influence in controlling their

States

for themselves, and they giving their aid in controlling the party for him. One baud washed the other. This was gradually developed into a system, all cooperation being welcome, even such as that of Governor Clayton, in Arkansas.

Then that peculiar party despotism grew up which ostracised everybody who refused to obey its commands. It gave birth to a new sort of party orthodoxy, whose first teuet was, that President Grant must be re-elected. Opposition to Grant constituted high treason against the party, for which there was no quarter.

The Senator dwelt on this theme at great length, using the strongest and severest language that has yet been aimed at the President and his supporters. However, after referring to the President's nepotism, his appointment of Tom Murphy, and his fondness for personal pleasure .being such that we hear from time to time that "the Administration is out of town," he said I have actually seen foreign Ministers in the Capital of the nation looking for the Gover'ntnent' of the United States as for a lost child

HAUTE

The Senator adds I will not wrong President Grant. He is by no means a monster of iniquity He is simply a man who makes use of his high official position to suit his own. con veuience regardless of other interests. He does not sit in his closet a designing usurper, gloomily pondering how he may subvert the free institutions of the Re public. Neither does he ponder how he may preserve them. He does not ponde at all. He simply wants to carry a point and when—as in"the San Domingo case the Constitution happens to stand in his way, he just Walks over it. He does not mean to break down the authority of the law, he simply wants them not to hamper him in his doings. He does not mean systematically to outrage the public sense of decency by nepotism and low associations, to corrupt the service and to degrade our political life he only wants to make his relations and favorites comfortable to associate with "men who are congenial to hiin, and to take the best care of bis interests he can. He is not incapable of occasionally doing a good thing he prefers a good appointment to a bad one, other things being equal he undoubtedly desires that affairs should go well, his own welfare included. Such is the character of his personal government. We should be doing it too much honor by calling itCtesarism. It is not inspired by any grand,-lofty, and long-headed ambition. It iSi absolutely barren of ideas and originality barren of striking achievements void of noble sentiments and inspiring example. It is simply dull and heavy, stupid and stubborn in its selfishness.

After pursuing this "subjectstill further, and with the same bitterness, tb.e Senator spoke of the apathy which ritaturally follows a period of great excitement, and declared that the Cincinnati Convention was the result of a popular uprising from such apathy that it assumed dimensions far beyond the expectations of its originators, and embraced multitudes who were united by one impulse—to unite the whole American people in the bonds of reconstruction and fraternal feeling, and to shake off personal government and party despotism. Acknowledging that its action had caused disappointment to himself and to others, who wished its declarations of policy as well as its candidates to be such that the victory of the movement would furnish an administration approaching the ideal of good govern^ ment as near as human wisdom, integrity and earnest efforts can carry it, he declared he had come deliberately to the conclusion that no possibility existed to uuite mournfully all the forces which the movement should have gathered under its banners, aud argued that the overthrow of party despotism is the first thing needful to any reform—that# Mr. Greeley would have at its back no regular organization, and can win the support and favor of the people only by deserving it. The tariff reformers should learn from the enemies of that cause, who instinctively find the surest and most natural bulwark in a party which is controlled by organized selfishness.

Regarding civil service reform, the Senator gave the following letters to and from Mr. Greeley

MR. SCHURZ TO MR. GREELEY. ST. LOUIS, MO., June 26, 1872. DEAR SIR:—In your letter of acceptance, you promise a thorough reform of civil service in the general term. The question, how the problem of civil service reform presents itself to your mind, is one of great interest. I would suggest, if it be consistent with your views of the proposition, thatyou give mesuch explanation as will put your intention, in this reppect, in a clear light.

Yours truly, CARL SCHURZ.

MR. GREELEY'S REPLY.

The following is Greeley's reply NEW YORK, July 5,1871. MY DEAR SIR:—Yours of the 26th ultimo only reached me three days ago, and I respond as promptly as I may. The problem of ctvil service reform is rendered difficult by a mesalliance be5 tween the Executive and Legislative branches of our Federal Government. Those members of Congress who favor the Administration habitually, claim, and are accorded a virtual monopoly of Federal offices in their respective States or Districts, dictating appointments or removals as interest or caprice may suggest. The President appoints at their bidding—they legislate in subserviency to his will, often in opposition to their own convictions. Unless all history is unmeauing, this confusion of Executive and Legislative responsibilities and functions could not fail to distemper aud corrupt the policy. I hold the eligibility of our President to le-election as the whole source of this corruption. A President should be above the hope of future favor, and the fear of alienating powerful and ambitious partisans. He should be the/official chief, not of a party, but of the Republic. He should heed nothing but the accusing voice of history and the inexorable iudgment of God. He should fully realize, and never forget, that Congress. in its own sphere, is paramount, and nowise amenable to its supervision, and that the heartiest good will to his administration is perfectly compatible with the most pointed dissent from his inculcations iu the very gravest questions in fiuance or political economy. It is the first step that costs. Let it be settled that a President is not to keep elected while in office, and civil service reform is no longer difficult. He will need no organs—no subsidized defenders. He will naturally select his chief counsellors from among the ablest and wisest of his eminent fellow-citizens, regardless alike of the "Shrieks of locality," and the suggestions of a selfish policy. He will have no interest to conciliate, no chief of a powerful clan to attach to his personal fortunes. He will be impelled to appoint, as none will deny that he should appoint men of ripe experience in business, and eminent mercantile capacity to collect, keep and disburse the revenue, instead of dextrous manipulators of primary meetings ancf skillful traffickers in delegates to nominating conventions. He will thus transform the civil service of the couutry from a party machine into a business establishment.

No longer an aspirant to place, the President will naturally aim to meritand secure the approbation of the entire people, but especially of the eminently wise and good. As to the machinery of boards of examiners, etc., whereby the details of civil service reform are to be matured and perfected, I defer to the judgment of a Congress unperverted by the adulterous commerce in legislation and appointments, which I have already exposed and reprehended. Up to this time our experience of the doings of boards in this direction has not beeu eucouraging, and this, I am confident, is not the fault of the gentlemen who have tried to serve the public as Commissioners. In so far as they may have failed, the causes of their ill success must be extrinsic. Had they been accorded a fairer field, I am sure they would have wrought to a better purpose. A thinker has observed that the spirit in which we work is the chief matter, and we can never achieve civil service reform uutil the interests! Which demand it shall be more potent in our puplic councils than those whicji resist, even while seeming to favor if. That fbis c^rasummation is not distant, I fervently trust.

JV{eantimef thanking you for your

we i-

earnest and effective labors to this end, 1 remain yours, HORACE GREELEY. This declaration the Senator accepts as a practical reform of civil service, aud adds "But the man who knows that he was not my favorite choice as ^candidate, and that nothing attaches me to his fortunes but my belief in his honest desire aud great ability, and opportunities to do good, may be assured that in every effort to carry out the programme here laid down, I, as well as many abler men, who think as I do, will staud faithfully and resolutely by his side, with active co-op eratiou."

After speaking of the need of embracing every opportunity to take any practical step in the direction of reform, the Senator then discusses at length the need of a reconciliation between the North and South, the restoration of local selfgovernment at the South and the development of the highest and noblest aspi rations among the Southern people.

Regarding party relatioris, he said Republicans ask me, "shall we not be swallowed up ftp the old Democratic party?" Do you recognize the old Democratic party? I suspect it does not recognize itself. Do you fear to be swallowed by that old Democratic party Why, the Democratic party has been swallowed up itself by the new era. No body need fear that I would lead him from the Republican into the Democratic camp, for I do not intend to go there my self. Unless I greatly mistake the tendency of the times, the day is not very far off" when there will be but little of an old Republican camp to go from', and but little of an old Democrat camp to go to This period is pregnant with new formations which need but the electric spark of opportunity to spring into shape. This is the time for action, and those who think as I do, will not, after having shaken off thevshackles of one old party, take upon their limbs the shackles of another. No party can do what the Democratic party has done without dropping itsiiistoric:atl identity. I honor the patriotic spirit of the men who achieved so tremendous a revolution, and in the great work before us, I hail with joy and cordiality the!* alliance but the party that has done thi& cannot return to its old grooves. It is impossible. The first attempt would shiver if into atoms.

The meeting was largely attended, the Temple being crammed full, and hundreds went away unable to ge£ in. T^Ir. Schurz's speech:elicited frequent and^yociferous applause, and the audience was very enthusiastic.

From the Cincinnati Commercial. 15 eeclfeflVon'tf'iglit.

Henry Ward: Beecher* ih replying to our criticism upoifhim for fighting Greeley, says he- "dpem't fight Greeley, but contends agaitist breaking up the Republican pairty, and putting the Government into the hands' of the Democratic parjty."

We are pleased with this. Beecher doesn't fight Gteeley. He won't fight Greeley, his old friend and co-laborer. Other people may fight Greeley. They may try to break his head or wound his heart, or destroy his character. They may fire their guns at him, or throw dirt at him.. But Beecher won't do anything of thfe? kind. He knows Greeley too wel 1 to do such things.. .He understands his nature, and his life, and his labors, and his principles. He knows it would be wrong to fight him. He could not conscientiously do it,as a man or a minister. We trust that Beecher will firmly adhere to his determination all through the campaign. When the struggle gets hot, when Greeley's assailants grow frantic with rage, when they fall on him as Thiers' troops fell on the Commuuists, he must refrain from taking any part in the fight. He may praise Grant, and defend his policy, and advocate his election, but take no hand in the fight against Greeley.

We commend Beecher's example to the other friends of Grant. This fight against Greeley, thus far, has been disgraceful to them. Look at the foul missiles they have thrown, the poisoned weapons they have used. Look at the way they have made their attacks. If Greeley had been a bad man, with an infamous life and base principles, they could not have been more violent in their attacks. They ought to be ashamed of themselves when they reflect upon their conduct, if they ever get into a reflective mood. They must know that most of their charges are false.

There are a few other Grjint men besides Beecher who refuse to attack Greeley. Colonel Forney, of Philadelphia, is one of these. In a recent issue of his paper, he says: "We are for Grant, and shall advocate his election with all the ability we possess, and this While we shall be fair to Mr. Greeley. For him, as the independent editor, the educator of his countrymen, and the pioueer in the cause of liberty, we have the highest admiration. In the path he early marked out he has erred often and grievously, but his aspirations have been fight."

This is admirable. Colonel Forney can not bear the thought of fighting Greeley. He regards him as a just and good man, with right aspirations, the friend of liberty and the educator of his countrymen. Isn't it wiser iu Colonel Forney to speak of him iu this way than to speak of him as some others do, as a fool or knave? ',|£orney is a fighting man —we mean in an intellectual sense. He is engaged at this very time in a relentless and terrible fight with Simon Cameron. He has fought a thousand battles in his lifetime. He is never afraid to attack a man who dSserves it. He knows how to attack. He seems rather to enjoy a fight. But Forney won't fight Greeley, his old friend and eolaborer. Even while voting for Grant, (if he should vote for him,) he will praise Greeley. We commend Forney's example, as well as Beecher's, to other Grant man.

Gerritt Smith, the veteran Abolitionist, is another Grant man who refuses to fight Greeley. In a speech which he delivered a few days ago, to his neighbors at Petersboro, he said: "I have not spoken to disparage Mr. Greeley. I have no sympathy with the defamation and abuse of him. I am as indignant at his being called a 'free lover' as at President Grant's being called a 'drunkard.' I know him well and esteem him highly. That he has risen by force of his very remarkable talents and many virtues from poverty and obscurity to his present position, reflects no small credit on himself and on our American free institutions. I do not blame him for his aspirations to the Presidency. He means to be, if elected, an honest, as well as a wise ruler.''

These words are even more satisfactory than those of Beecher or Forney. They show that Gerritt Smith is capable of being entirely just and fair to a*man for whom he can not vote. They show that he himself will not only refuse to fight Greeley, bis old friend and eolaborer, but that he is disgusted with the attacks which are made upon him. It is hard for men like Beecher, Foruey and Smith, who know Greeley well, to stand by while he is assaulted by malignant enemies, reckless of truth or honor.

Beecher won't fight Greeley Forney won't fight Greeley Gerritt Smith won't fight Greeley. Will Grant's other admirers notice these interesting facts, and follow these distinguished examples?
