We are almost daily informed, of leading and influential republicans in various portions of the state leaving the party with which they have been co-operating, and allying themselves with the democratic party. There exists in the ranks of the re publican party in this state, to-day, an amount of defection unparalleled in the history of North Carolina politics, and the accessions, from that party to our ranks within the next few weeks will be large and, in the names of some of the men so changing their po Ktcal relations, astounding. This is the legitimate result of the conduct of the republican jiaVt- for all ofthe past fewj-ears. Under the present administration of Grant the national government has become en tirely personal. The public patron age of states has, under this system 'en parceled off to a few favorite in dividuals, as their personal property and perquisites. So far as the con- trol and : distribution nfttmf7vlnr.it patronage goes, there has been for some time nobody in the republidan party in this state outside of William Smith, Thomas Settle.

The Iicpublican papers arc outspo ken in condemnation, of the .'removal of Postmaster General Jewell by lcs ident Grant. The New York 7WtL.;w says : ; . . i i 41 The present action of the President throws a flood of light upon theicir cumstances attending Secretary liris tow's withdrawal fmm thc administra tion, and if any further light wjere needed it illuminates still more the President's iolicy and his relations to the whole movement for the purifica tion of the government service, j It cannot le longer denied that President Grant has been all thc time hostile to the policy and plans which Secretary Hristow in the Treasury and governor Jewell in the Postoffice Department were endeavoring to carry) out, j to cicanse tneir departments of corrup tion and inefficiency and secure for (he government honest and faithful ser vice. ; No excuse is offered, not eyen the pretense of a pretext, for this sum mary expulsion of a faithful able and honest officer. . It is just the old story, made so familiar during the past sejen years, of personal government, selfish, arbitrary, un rearming ami despite rule, l'resident Grant is doing what he can to handicap his party and lin sure its defeat." i The New York Times sayi : ! " Postmaster Jcwell.L&s lieen turned but if he did, the President owes it! to thc country to explain ho. If his resignation was demanded out of mtrc . 1 Aft .t ! i rosiuent is asnamel to avow. lien. (rant has put himself in a kmi tion where his party will be uoligedito resign him to the indulgence 'of a per veHie humor, for who frekks tliej must decline any reponibility." The PhilaIelphia North ..American says : j . I VJL ? lhe ot, Th,ch !n fiuence President Grant n b i fo iti. cal appointments is not an easy task ; to excuse his manner of making them imiiossible. Since the removal of Cbl- , . r L.?ml of CJ. witlioat e-en a plausible pretext, the' l'resident lia been making it lively all around, lit docs seem unfortunate that Le should have used j the axe chiefly upon tbe necks of those who in the public eve were considered as txjfvtejj the cle ment of reform."

The lhiladelphU Inquirer saji i 4 Two better men were never so struck down: than Bristow and Jewell. They gave their own cliaracters to support that or an otherwise almost characterless administration, and their absence from the cabinet leaTes Mr. Hamilton Fish without companionship there in his rigoroas Integrity. We can only imagine him as a Fish very much out of water in his present iso lation. The summary dismissal from place of so wise, honest, energetic and useful an officer as. postmaster General Jewell, is such as requires sound rea sons for its justification." The New York Evening Post says : The removal of thc Postmaster Gen eral is an offensive illustration of the manners as jwcll as the methods of Grantism. With as little ceremony as he would use toward his stable-boy. the President turned out of doors ono to wlioni he had given the strongest pledge of official and personal coufl dencc !y calling him to his cabinet councils. TUe l'resident has done a bad filing and done it very rudely. The Baltimore American says : In removing Postmaster General Jewell the President has arrayed against himself thc lest sentimeut of the country. No doubt his action seems entirely proper to himself, but a vast number of intelligent people think differently. Gen Grant is aman of indomitable courage, and never hesitates to accept the weightiest re; sensibilities Probably he is strong enough to defy public opinion, but we fear that this! arbitrary exercise of his prerogative will add nothing to' his well-earned fame. The Cabinet changes during Presi dent Grant's administration exceed in number those, of any other, not ex cepting the turbulent administration of President Harrison. Thc .following is the list. There have been two Secretaries of. State, E. B. Washburne and Hamilton Fish, thc latter being thc oldest Cabl uet officer retaining his place. There have been five Secretaries of thc Treas. ury, viz: A. T. Stewart (not confirm ed). Geo. S. Boutwcll. Wm. A. Rich, ardson, Benjamin II. Bristow and Lot M. Morrill. There have been four Secretaries of War, viz : John A. Rawlins, William W. Belknap, Alfon so Taft, and J. DonaTd Cameron. Ol Secretaries of the Navy there have been two viz : Adolphe E. Boric and George M. Roberson. Of Secretaries . of the Interior there have been three viz : Jacob D. Coxe, Columbus Delano and Zachariali Chandler. There have leen three Postmaster Generals, viz, : . John A. J. Crcswell. Marshall Jewell . and J. N. Tyner. There have leeri " five Attorneys General, viz, : E. Rocki wood Hoar, AL T. Akennan, Landau let Williams. Edwards Pierrepont and Alfonso Taft. That is to say. iVesi. dent Grant has liad twenty-four Cabl net ministers. ! ' THE WHISKY RING FINALLY TRIUMPHANT. The President, says the Baltimore Gazette, has driven nearly every man out of office who "made the raid on the whisky rings, j Bristow has gone ; Blu- ford Wilson .bas gone ; Yaryan has gone; Dirtrict Attorney Dyer-lias goqc, and their places have been filled by men who will not bother the exec- ' utive about reform ; who will restore thc old order of things, and let the plunderers again have access to the trasury vaultsj Not a word of protest is heard from a kingle Republican Senalr tor. or Congressman against - these scandalous proceedings. Mr; Conk-' ling siu silent in the Senate and sees honest men sacrificed lecause they did their duty. Mr. Morton looks on ami f smiles approval, and thc savage sfates- gan) con- escape of cjre from Uie legal toil 6f guilty complicity that were closing around him. The whis ky ring is again triumphant. The con victs in the penitentiaries of Missouri and Illinois have become Uie advisers and controllers of the President, and from their cells dictate the appointment of the officers of the law.- j The bead of j the Department of Jus tice. Mr. Taft, mournfully ccmplaiaa that lie is not consulted in anything ; that his officers are removed without his knowledge or advice, and that cases' in the courts are dismissed without consulting Lim. McKee is to be par doned In a few days; McDonald Is to be set free immedUtely afterward ; Avery is to follow, and Joyce will soon join hit wife and family in tlie splen did mansion on Georgetown Heights, In which thc l'resident formerly lived. The victory of. the whiskr rin Is complete, and the ex-conTiciU will In all probabiutyj take the stump in a hort time for Hayes anl reform.
