C. , May 25,1SS4- A leading Republican official , who expects to be in Logan's cabinet after the 4th of next March , said to day that if he was President , having 200 delegates at his back , ho would do swapping enough to get the remaining 211 or dish out "his pit- ronage somewhere else. Now if this is not a strange and a strong commen tary upon the weakness of Arthur's administration , I don't know where to look for the other proof. With 150,000 well fed office-holders at his beck and call , and this grand army so distributed throughout the conntry as to spring to the breach at every local convention in every State , coun ty , town and school district , it passes all understanding that he should be o out-generaled in every single State , his own included. The goody-goody esolutious that have marked the action of these conventions , and which pat Mr. Arthur on the back , are simply the heartlessness of politics , hcy mean simply an invitation to Mr. Arthur to stand aside with his patronage and give the rest of the fellows a chance. Just as I expected. The railroad and grant lobby have been getting n their work to some purpose. The House Judiciary Committee report ; hat Congress has no legal right to leclare the forfeiture of any of these rants , because such action would be in violation of the provisions of he Constitution that prohibits the im pairment of contracts ! Here is a coin- any to which was granted one and half millions of acres of the public domain , on condition that the road hould be completed and in operation .vithin . five years. This company not only did not complete their road , but they never even began its construc tion. After waiting four years with out lifting a hand toward , fulfilling , its part of the contract the company , with an audacity worthy only of a soulless corporation , attempted to transfer the grant to another company which of course intended to appro priate it as the company might-see fit , because it had no contract to keep with the Government. The Interior Department got a pretty i stron"1 scent at this huge rodent , and ' n o nipped the affair in the bud , but the powerful lobby conies to the rescue and the railroad bondholders will realize the full value of their securi ties without having invested a dollar in the construction ! If the people don't like this way of doing things , they had better ask : Avhat are they going to do about it ! Mr. Randall's appropriation com mittee is doing a good work in cut ting down the consular and diplomatic appropriation. It would be money in our pockets , and the saving of a vast deal of public scandal if about one- half of this diplomatic retinue of tin selled humbuggery were wiped out altogether. The moment that an t American is clothed with the little brief authority of a foreign consul , he seems to loose all respect for his country as well as himself. There is no more need of consuls at five-sixths of the places Avhere they are now loaf ing at Government expensethan there is for warming-pans at Timbuctoo. It is a big job for one man to un dertake when he attempts to reform the innumerable abuses of this world. He must be a sort of political agnostic tic , who believes that a Congressional enactment is all that is necessary to carry out the evolution and revolution of human nature , provided that the whole ground can be covered in a sin gle bill. Senator Cullom , of Illinois , is one of those fresh fellows who has not been in the Senate long enough to receive his marticulation , but he has got a bill in fact several of them which propose to change this Gov ernment into one of the regular papa sort. One of these bills is turning the entire railroad system of the coun try over to a quintuple of "Ancient Mariners , " with a modern sort of a salary. Now the principle may be all right , and I am not going to quar rel over it if it is not , but I would like to know how long five men are going to stand out against the inter ests of two thousand millions of profi tably invested capital ?
