Although tangible evidence was during the conipaign produced, incriminating the President in transactions that were unworthy of a man occupying his exalted sta tion, Mr. Curtis' fertile imagina tion and intense partizan zeal, suggested at all times devices by which he could conceal the sins and errors fC Gen. Grant. Geo. W. Curtis, we believe, was iucero in his advocacy of reform, but he in guilty in helping to disguise tho truth regarding tho course f the Administration in maintaining a system of favoritism heretofore unknown in our history. His appointment as one of the board of examiners in accordance with the civil rervicc bill, was a reward for his fealty to the party which he served with, a fidelity almost amounting to fanaticism. The hopes of Mr. Curtis have never been realized. He has seen men of doubtful character and of attainments below mediocrity, reach positions' lor which they were un- tion. Ho has beheld, to educa- his utter fcinaiemcnt, the assumption of autocratic power by the President and his ministers, in giving commissions to a clas of servile politicians who feather are incompetent.- The that broke the camel's back,". how-- t vcr, was in superseding gallant and officers, whose 6cars at--' tost their courage and are badges of honor nobly won, and the election of i f rant's son to supplant worthy men who had grown gray in the service.
