letter

of Carl Schurz to the editor

Like everything

emenating from the pen of Mr. Schurz it is well worth perusal. Mr. Schurz would be more or less than human if he did not feel a sort of frendish delight in the evi' times that have fallen upon the administration which used all its power against him and Charles Sumner.

A POLTCEMAX.

What any white man would want, to be policeman for, is more than we can fathom. It is a mean business, a dirty business, and a dangerous business, '['he pay is not any more than iven in hundreds of Irndes, and not nearly as much as in many kinds of employment. And for these things a man's character becomes public property, lie is nagged and picked at and abused. \Ve expeet him to exceed the devil in punishing vice and imitate the parsons in preaching virtue. In very truth we conduct ourselves in an absurd and ridiculous manner ia this matter.

Perhaps some of the youths of the city have been evcited to envy by the spectacle of blue uniforms and brass buttons, and have had their ambition lired to such a pitch that now their loftiest aspiration is to become a policeman. \Vc have observed that the number of persons who want to be policemen is allarge at election times, and an amount of work is performed, in pulling wires to become one of these miserable characterless curs whom we all kick, which if directed towards honest industry would make ce account in the savings^ bank# The

therefore, as the guardian

and next the friend of the "ambitious and high spirited 3-outh of Terre Haute,warns them against fostering the unworthy hope cf becoming a policeman. Any honest employment is better. If you learn a trade and become competent, in it, you always sure of a living. Each advear that you work ou become more skillful, do not haunt you like a nightyou are not liable to be kicked out of employment between two days. Be ides when you do lose one job in trade yo.i can get another, for you are skillful but the training one gets on the police force disqualifies for anything else.

Again, your character is your own private business, and if anybody slanders you, it is your high privilege as a citizen, to shoot him' in broad daylight whereas, if you are a policeman you will to wait perhaps for months catch your traducer in a •our revenge, id engaged in an

THE MAY CONFERENCE.

Carl Schurz DefinesHis^Position and the Object of the £. Conference., ,,,

The Hon. Carl Schurz has addressed the following letter through, the columns of the Public, to a Republican, as an answer to an inquiry as to the ex-senator's purposes and position. It is also a reply to unfavorable criticisms upon tlie May conferencc: "My Dear Sir—-Knowing you as a patriotic man and a sincere friend of reform, 1 a gratified, but by no means surprise.! lo learn that you cordially approve of the objects which the signers ol the call for the conferences on the 15th of May have in view. But you are in doubt as to the policy of such a movement outside of the Republican party, as I uuderstand your letter, because the expression'of any desire by the independents as to what the party should do would be apt to be taken as an attempt at dictation, and. provoke antagonistic feelings, and also because your party friends look with great distrust and disfavor upon anything ltke a third party movement. "In mv opinion,-when a thing is right in itself,'it will be very apt to turn out, in the end, the best policy, lint, as yon address me from the standpoint of a republican, I will, for the sake of argument, in mv answer waive higher considerations and ask you to look at this matter from a partisan point of view. 1 think even the most sanguine republicans will scarcely question the following facts: The republican party, in order to succeed in the national election, can not afford to lose the votes of many of the northern States.

New York is, so* far, in the hands of the democrats likewise Connecticut Ohio was last fall carried by a majority of ^,000 in a poll of over 500,000, and that majority included the whole independent vote Indiana is strongly inclined to be democratic of Illinois neither party is sure in Wisconsin the republicans last fall lost their whole State ticket, with the exception of the governor, who was elected by a small majority, owing to his personal popularity with certain classes of democrats in Milwaukee California and Oregon you can not count upon with certainty. Probably not one of these States can the republicans expect to carry without the support of all, or at least, a large majority of those who "of late years have acted" independently of party control. the independent element. "Now suppose this independent element, through some organ ot opinion informs you that sueh support can be secured to the Republican party only bv a quite satisfactory assurance of a genuine and thorough reform of the Government, in the shape of nominations of a certain character, and that, if such satisfactory assurance be given, the support and cooperation will be hearty and active would it be quite wise or patriotic on the part of tke Republicans to say: "It can not be denied that the thing they ask for is in itself most iust and desirable but their asking for it is a piece of impudence and attempt at dictation which must be resented. and therefore it shall not be done?"

Would not that be like little children's play with the great interests of the republic, and a folly suicidal in its consequences? You tell me there are many good men in the Republican party earnestly in favor of thorough reform, which is certainly true. You express a hope that they may- be strong enough to carry the necessary reforms by eftorts 'inside of the Republican party," which I fervently wish may become true. But what should^ we think of the sincerity of that retorm spirit inside of the Republican party, it it could be suddenly moved to turn against its very objects, by the mere iact that other people,-not inside the party, seek to accomplish the same ends and say so? If such a thing could happen, then, you will admit it would in itself be conclusive proof that such a reform spirit is of too fickle a temper to deserve confidence, and that a party, controlled by such a temper in its most important action, has no claim on the support of any sincere friend ot refonn. rjeeult as to-par ty success under present circumstances, would be obvious. 'No 1 trust if the friends of reform inside of the republican party arc strong ehougli in the Cincinnati convention to control 1 it, they will not permit themselves to be seduced by a mere childish whim to do a bad thing simply because the independents want them to do a good one, and then loose the election. But if the reform element inside of the republican party is not strongly enough represented in the Cincinnati convention to controll it, then it had good reason to be glad of any encouragement and aid it can get from public opinion outside. Indeed the alliance between the sincere reform element inside and the independent element outside, appears so natural and necessary that many patriotic men, hitherto strongly attached to their party, and considered as members in good standing, have expressed to me their hearty approval of the course the sellers of the conference are pursuing, and havo promised their active aid and co-operation. -'. A THIRD PARTY.

As to the second point of objection, I may say to you candidly that we are not at all ambitious to organize and lead a third party movement. On the contrary, I feel authorized to say, ih the name of* all my friends, that we shall be heartily glad if you and others succeed in envolving from the Cincinnati convention so good a result that we can conscientiously follow you. I fervently hope that you will succeed and, if such nominations as you tell me you desire are made, I pledge you our active efforts in their favor. For the sake of our country, I wish both parties to do the very best they can, believing, with you, that the Republicans have the 'safest shot in their locker.' At the same time, I do not conceal from you that, if nothing but a choice of evils should be presented to us, I should not feel bound to content myself with such a choice, and I am glad to know that a large number of men who have so far been faithful partisans, are now of the same way of thinking. It is time for the moral sense of the people to revolt against that kind of degradation, to which we have too long been subjected, and I am confident, strong partisan as you may be, you, too, feel that there is something more prescious than party association and fealty. In such an emergency, therefore, there will undoubtedly be an effort cutside of the old parties, for that which honest endeaver inside failed to "accomplish "I sincerely trust such an emergency will be averted, and y'ou and 1, eacn in his way should make his best possible" effort to avert it. I am sire our conference will render a mot valuable service in that respect. It will furnish an opportunity to tlie independents and the party men to deal fairly with each other. If you and your friends as republicans, want the support of the independents, you ought not to be left in abt as to those things which will seand those which will repel that sup-

"ue nomination you make does not the" support you desire, you

"IDEALISTS.

•'I must confess I have been somewhat snrpr.s:'d at the ill-teinper with which some Republican papers denounce tlie proposed conference as a sort of gunpowder plot gotten up for revolutionary purposes by a set of 'idealists'—as they call us when they want to make the moral superiority of the 'practical politician' strikingly apparent. It might perhaps, be well for them to remember that some of those 'idealists' four or five years ago, strongly denounced the abuses of tlie Governmeht which then and since came to light, and warned the party in power of the consequences which inevitably would follow if the iniquitous agencies then at work were not sternly resisted. If the 'idealists' had been listened to, McDonald would not have been permitted to organize the whisky ring in St. Louis, the Belknaps anil Babcocks would not have remained great and powerful men in the Government and the Republican party would not now be obliged to struggle under that load of disgrace which to-day is its greatest element of weakness. We were then told by the 'practical politicians' that, if such abuses existed, they would be corrected, and everything put right 'inside.' The 'idealists' were put outside, and the 'practical politicians' had their way'inside.' You know the result. The 'idealists' do not appear to have been quite wrong, after all. Now I find some newspapers exercising their wit at the idea that the "idealists' insist upon 'a perfect angel' for the presidency, and will not be satisfied with anything less. As the 'idealists' were not quite wrong four or five years ago, so I apprehend that thev are not quite wrong now.

They think that, in its present situation, the country needs a man for the Presidency who can be depended upon to possess the moral courage and ability required for as great an effort as human energy is capable of, to crush corruption, and to make this a pure Government once more, whatever opposition he may have to encounter, even if it should come from his own party friends. This may be called an ideal notion, but it is also an eminently practical one, so much, indeed, that it must be carried out, if the honor of the country is to be saved and republican institutions preserved. If, to use an expression of Govenor Allen, of Ohio, with regard to specie payments, honest government can be laughed down as a 'barren ideality,' then we may tremble for the future ?f the republic. It seems to me the papers referred to are not quite prudent in scoffing at 'the idealists,' for unless I am greatly mistaken the 'idealists' will be in great demand as soon as the presidential campaign opens, as thev were last summer in Ohio, and many times before. "As your letter embodies suggestions which "have appeared in some journals not unfriendly, I deem it proper to give this reply to the public. I shall also send you an invitation to our conference and hope you will accept. C.

OUR BOB.

He Repeats the story of his Resignation as a Director of the Emma

Mine.

He don't Think he did Anything Wrong.

Washington, D. C., May 1.

Gen. Schcnck was before the Committee on Foreign Affairs to-day. Representative Newell placed in the hands of General Sehenck the original letter Isent to the chairman of the Emma mining company, resigning kis position as a director, and also a copy of it in the handwriting of Gen. Park.

Gen. llewett examined Schenck, who said his letter of resignation sent to the company was in his own hand-wrieting, date, body, signature and all it was his composition, written at his own suggestion, without anybody's help. In writing out his resignation from the original draft, it seemed that he interpolated the words, "In consenting to become a dieector, I knew that I exercised an individual right in no way incompatible with public or private duty, but I prefer to take away from same who have criticised me, even a pretext ifor tlieir^comments."

Gen. Schenck' said the paper^ submitted by Hewitt seemed to be a copy of his resignation in Parks' Ixand-writing. He knew it was not his signature, it was a copy of what he wrote,

Hewitt called Schenck's attention to several words which had been, altered, and Schenck said they looked as if they were in his handwriting. It was the same ink. He did not know why Park made the copy.

Park here said the words were in his own hand-writing. In answer to a question, Schenck said that in his connection with the Emma Mine company, he did not think he had done anything morally wrong or unbecoming. Park was recalled and testified that the copy of Gen. Sc henck's resignation as director of the Emma Mine company was in his (Park's) handwriting the interlined words, "gentlemen" and ^fullest," were also in his handwriting. Park testified frankly that he .recommended to Schenck. to make the interpolation in his letter of resignation as director,- so as to convince the public that Schenck had not resigned from dissatisfaction with the stock. Park still declined to say how much money he had made out of the mine, but he said that tlie committee could examine his books for themselves if they liked. After Park's examination Schenck. denounced the statement that he had copied his letter of resignation from a draft in Park's writing as utterly false.

An argument ensued as to putting1 in as evidence two letters from Fisher K. Duncan, the banker, relating to General Schenck.

Without decision the committee adjourned. "z\l

ARCHAEOLOGY.

Preparations for a Great Meeting ot* Archaeologists in Ohio. A i1

Some Startling- Specimens.

Mansfield, Ohio, May, 2.—General R. Birrkerhoff, President of the Chio Archaiologieal Association, announces that in the pursuance of the instructions of the society, an international convention of archaeologists has been called to meet at Philadelphia on the 4th of September next. The.most distinguished scientific men of the association, and Canada, arc engaged in the movement and the call been signed by such names as Prof. S. F. Baird, Hon. j. D. Baldwin, principal, J. W. Dawson, of Montreal, F. W. Baldwin, Secretary of the American association and others invitations have been sent to prominent scientific men of Europe, and a large attendance from home and broad is expected. The object of the convention is to bring together all persons interested in archtelogical subjects, and all such are cordially invited to attend and assist in organizing an association which shall bring the archa-olo-gists ofthe'world in permanent communication with each other. The especial question for the convention of the association this time is fi/.ind in the great collection of prehistoric rcl.c- which forms so novel a feature in the great exposition. The Smithsonian institution has been gathering a vas} quanity of ethnological specimens from every part of the country, but lately the Ohio State archaelogical association has come into the fild and has sent forward what is believed to be the largest and most valuable collection of relics ever gathered in America. Collections from other states, it is hoped, will also be sent forward for examination by the convention. Rev. S.

D. Pet, of Ashtabula, Ohio, the chairman of the Ohio committee has in charge the corrrespondence, and all persons expecting to attend the convention are requested to so notify him. The first meeting of the convention, will be in the hall of the Ohio building at

tember 4th, 1S76. It is also announced that the annnal meeting of the Ohio association, will be held at Newark October 12th, 13th and 14th, instead of -the date formerly given.
