MT0B1AL OPINIONS OF THE LKAD1NO JOURNALS PK)H CUBBENT TOPICS COMPILED EVEK1 PAT FOB TUB EVENING TKLKOKAFH. tlncit of Place. From the Tribune. Some of our readers will undoubtedly re member the menagerie-man's description of an amphibious animal "He can't live in the water, and he dies on land;" and this is pre ewey the purgatorial position of a great many seekers for office in Washington. If the Pre sident smiles upon them, tho Senate frowns; if they are distasteful to the White House, there can he no nomination; if they please his Excellency, there can be no confirmation--aiul thus their money is expended and their patience exhausted, while the rays of hope vouchsafed to them are cold and scanty. Under guth distracting circumstances, sensible men would pack their valises, pay their tavern bills if possible, and return to their sweet homes without delay. llalf the time, and money, and ingenuity oftcnexpcndedin fishing and lighting for a place of small perquisites, and less honor, would set these deluded gentlemen up in business, and keep them profitably going afterwards. Hut there is a distemper which men catch in lob bies and caucus-rooms, whicJi, without being kind enough speedily to kill, makes fools of them and sends them upon a feverish chase alter wild-geese for the rest of their days. If anything could cure them it would bo the present dead-lock in Washington ; but they are long past all chance of recovery. The les Bon which they afford, we hope, will not be lost upon our youthful and more unsophisti cated readers. A stern resolution at twenty one, never to seek for place but to wait lor place to seek him, will be money in the pocket of any young man wise enough to make and lirm enough to keep the wholesome vow. Tue Government, we admit, must have ser vants, and servants must be paid. We have no fault to find with office-holding, provided the incumbent be capable and honest. Our quarrel is with ofiice-seeking adopted as a trade or profession, followed often after lament able failure, fascinating its victim to beggary or worse, filling his whole nature with the poibon of sycophancy, and gradually reducing his manliness to a minimum. All this wreck of character and ruin of fortune would be avoided if the wretched business of soliciting place could be brought into the disrepute which it deserves. We believe that we could find in this city at least one hundred gentlemen of first-rate talents and the best commercial education, of agreeable manners, and of un Bpotted character, from whom a Collector of Customs might safely be selected, who would accept the trust, but who would wait a very long while indeed before asking for it. uch a person would eo into ollico honest, keep so while in, and surrender his place unblamed ' and immaculate. This would be one of the blessed results of forcing the Government to look up a man when it wanted him, and to put him in charge of affairs unembar rassed by pledges and promises, his personal dignity preserved, his noble soul unmortgaged, liis integrity left free to assert itself. We beg pardon, in these times, for drawing an ideal picture, and for dreaming of disinterestedness and purity. We huppose that we must take the political world as we find it, and that the petitioning and palavering, the bribing and the button-holing, the ' sheer beggary, the knee-crooking, and the lobby-haunting must go on an incurable disease and a national dis grace. Wherefore we ' beseech those who are worth saving to keep out of this slough. Let them go to Washington, if they must, to see the President, the Secretary of btate, the marble Washington, and other curiosities; but let them smite, as the enemy of their soul, the lirst serpent in the shape of a friend who whispers to them a word of the delights and emoluments of the national service, (iood men should not cheapen themselves by suing for recognition, and with the very lirst genu llexion, the good that is in a man is either sensibly diminished or altogether disappears. Adjournment of Cougreti, From the Timet. The adjournment of Congress is a relief for which the country, and especially its business interests, ought to be profoundly grateful. - The assembling of the Fortieth Congress on the 4th of March could not but operate as a source of. widespread anxiety. Urgent ne ' cessity was pleaded as a justification of the Btep, and the opening sounds were well calcu lated to convey an anticipation of startling measures. Almost every question which the previous Congress was supposed to have dis posed of, at least for a time, was threatened with disturbance. Tho tarilf, the currency, the Bankrupt bill, the internal revenue system, all the phases of the reconstruction question, were menaced with unsettlenumt. On each of these subjects plans were broached, changes suggested, fresh causes of irritation and difficulty propounded. - A busy and pro tracted session seemed imminent. Commerce and industry were to a great degree paralyzed. Forebodings of evil unnerved importers and traders, and imparted a disastrous dullness to every money centre. The South was harassed by fears of new conditions, and the possible addition to the stringency of the law now in force. All these considerations were made worse by an ever-recurring talk about im peachment, and the demand for tho continu ance of the session as a check upon tlie Presi dent, and a preparation for emergencies that were declared to be probable. And now, happily, for a season, these perils are past. There lias been no tinkering of the tarff or Q currency. Special interests, grasping at exceptional profit, have not suc ceeded in reopening internal taxation. The beneficial results of the Hankrupt law will come into play, despite the lobbying of its , merciless opponents. The reconstruction ques tion has been handled only to be perfected; the Supplemental bill in effect completing the practical features of the previous law, without changing its conditions or adding to its embar rassments. And though the impeachment project has not been formally abandoned though the form of an inquiry is still to be kept up suilicieiit has transpired to prove that practically it will amount to nothing. Therefore we repeat, the country has good reason to be satisfied with its deliverance from impending dangers. It may have no solid ground of exultation. It may perchance feul that the disturbing element mill lives, and may renew its manifestations in December if not in July.' But, at any rate, the immediate trouble is ended, and every branch of business may be expected to be benefited by the cir cumstance. A certain confidence and freedom , may le felt for the first time in months, and this of itself is no inconsiderable advantage. There are, however, more enduring reasons ' for rejoicing at the occurrences of the brief MkWH and tlie events which have marked its progress. The absence of fresh vexation and difficulty is attributable, not to the forbear ance of those who at ono time seemed likely to create both, but to the controlling influence of more moderate counsels. The extremists were ready for everything. They were eager to push forward impeachment at all hazards. They were prepared to keep Congress together in expectancy of revolutions or excuses that might be used for their violent purposes. They were not unwilling to treat reconstruc tion as still an open question, and to embody their nltraism in all manner of tests, and oaths and penalties. To accomplish these ends, they were ready to unite with anybody and everybody who desired interference with other questions considered settled. Nothing is owing to the forbearance, the wisdom, the magnanimity of the extreme section of the party in power. They were a minority, that is all. Ihey were overborne by the eood sense and the comparative moderation of the majority of Republicans, who refused to remain in session with nothing practical to be done, discouraged propositions pointing to greater harshness towards the South, and showed no favor to the Butler plan for remov ing the President, with or without cause. it Is in tins aspect that the adioumment on Saturday forms just cause of gratulation. For in that fact we have proof that Butler and Stevens are not the leaders of the House, that their spirit is not its spirit, and that their schemes of vengeance and revolution do not command its approval. The evidence may be negative, and so certainly are the advantages. But as against positive violence and wrong, the mere refusal to facilitate either is some thing that should not be underestimated in times like these. , Pools and Frauds la Wall Street. Frim the Herald. Tho arrest of several New York stock ope rators, and the developments that have been made consequently as to the manner of doing business among that class of people, have cre ated an extraordinary lamentation in Wall stock, around the stock boards, and at the hotels. We refer to the arrest of Daniel Drew, James Fisk, Jr., and William Belden. They were arrested on the complaint and affidavit of Joseph B. Stewart. The names of several others are mentioned in the complaint, and conspicuously that ot Leonard Huyck. Subsequently Stewart himself and II uyck were arrested on a charge of fraud connected with the failure ot the Merchants' JNational Hank at Washington. The arrest of the latter, though made, it is said, by the Government, through James C. Kennedy, the receiver of the Mei chants' National isank, is evidently a counter blow on the part of the parties first arrested to embarrass the matter and to save themselves. A vast amount of money is in volved in the transactions which led to the proceedings. As to the guilt of the parties, one side or (he other, we must leave that for the courts to decide. No doubt the whole matter will be thoroughly ventilated, and a great deal of light thrown upon the secret and fraudulent dealings m Wall street. The trouble arose trom one set of "operators," as they are called, forming a combination and a "pool" to cheat others, and then cheating each other. The "pool" was formed to operate in Erie Railroad stock so as to control or exercise a powerful influence on the market, and thus secretly to make money by catching the gudgeons and cheating the public. The parties charged with the operations for the benefit of all operated for themselves and cheated their partners, it is alleged. Such combinations and pools have become quite common, and wealthy men who stand high in the community do not hesitate to enter into them. Something similar to this occurred recently in operations in Pacific Mail stock. The biters were bitten in that case also. Now, in all other transactions in business we should call such conduct cheating and fraudulent. Gambling at faro is not a bit more dishonest or demoralizing. The gamblr who secretly packs the cards to obtain the money of his victim, docs not act worse than these so-called gentlemen and Wall street speculators who form pools to cheat the unsus pecting public, and cheat each other. In fact, it is the worst sort of gambling. While this is going on we need not be surprised that the moral sense of tho community becomes blunted, and that we have a plentiful crop of crimes as the consequence. The Legislature ought to take the matter in hand, to protect tin- public and nnnish the laws against ordinary gambling, though they are not strictly enforced, it must be confessed. by should not these gambling combinations and pools be dec4ared fraudulent and punish able i Unless something be done to check the growing evil, Wall street will become so noto rious that respectable business men will shun it as they would a plague, and button their pockets whenever they approach it. We call upon our legislators to watch tho develop ments in the case referred to, and to provide a remedy against sueh frauds. The Purchase of Uusslun America. from the World. Russia has sold us a sucked orange. Her North American possessions, which" became I 1-, V. . V T . V I V ' V hers by the right of prior discovery (Behriug, a Danish captain in her service, tho discoverer of Behring's Strait, was her pioneer in those regions), have been purchased by the United States for seven million dollars. Tho treaty was gent to the Senate on Saturday, and there is a rumor that Sir Frederick i, British Minister, straightway sent a telegram to London asking instructions as to what ho should do in the premises. Whatever may be the value of that territory audits outlvimr ! l l. i : ll j i- i J " iwauua in un, jl iiuu ceiiMeu 10 ue 01 any to Russia. The only way she ever did, or ever could, utilize the northwest coast was in the prosecution of the fur trade. But that trade lias declined and nearly run out bv the de struction of the animals (particularly the otter), wnicu nave been hunted so industri ously that not enough were left to breed and keep up the race. hat remains of tho Rus sian fur trade is not of sullicient importance to justify the expense of the naval protection required by the establishments, Russia has, therefore, done wisely in selling the territory and lsiauus which to her had become useless But have we done wisely in buying it '( If estimated by what it is in itself, certainly no; 11 uy wnai me purchase may herealter lead to, perhaps yes. When Franklin was asked the use of some new discovery in science, his reply was: "What is the use of a new-born inlant ? k may become a man." It is only in buuiu buuu prospective view that we can discover any value in this new purchase. It is almost amusing to read the comments of the effervescing quidnuncs who first heralded the news. They dilate on the vast us of the territory ten or twelve times as larce. thev sav. as th Ktat of Nr York. But the greater part of it is of no more value for any human use than so many square miles M the ice in the Arctic Ocean by which it in bounded. The Aleutian Islauda ajid. a narrow strip along the southern part of the coast are all that would bo worth taking as a gift. Other explosive enthusiasts think the pur chase opens brilliant prospects for the China and Japan trade 1 As the territory can never have a population of consumers, and lies at a vast distance from the route for supplying in habited countries, it is not very obvious how the now acquisition is to contribute so mightily to the development of the Asiatic trade. Another item in the catalogue of expected benefits is the promotion of our whale fisheries in the Northern Pacific. This is less extrava gant; but Russia being a friendly power, and likely always to remain so, there would he no difficulty in securing the hospitality of her ports for our whalers without purchasing it. The price paid, seven millions in gold, is equivalent to between nine and ten millions in our currency. Computing the interest at the rate paid on our Government bonds, the new territory will be an annual cost of nearly half a million, besides the expense of maintaining military posts and a naval station say, in the whole, a million a year. The total value of the fur trade at its most flourishing period, nay, the whole annual value of the furs collected in that territory, ha probably never been half that sum. The small value of the territory in itself being so evident to every one who will be at the pains to look into the subject, its purchase, at the price paid, is not defensible except with a view to ulterior objects. What those ulterior ob jects must be requires no great sagacity to descry. They touch Groat Britain so nearly that it' is no wonder Sir Frederick Bruce forth with telegraphed to Lord Derby to know what he should do. Nobody in this country can have forgotten the blustering Oregon contro versy, which raged twenty years ago, and threatened to precipitate the two nations into war. President Polk maintained, in a mes sage to Congress, that "our title to the whole of Oregon" up to the southern line of the Russian possessions was "clear and unqties tionable;" and tho popular cries of a largo portion of our people were, "The whole of Oregon or none," and "Fifty-four forty or fight" the latitude of fifty-four degrees forty minutes being the Russian boundary up to which we claimed. The contioversy was settled by a treaty fix ing our boundary on the forty-ninth parallel, and surrendering the intervening coast to Great Britain. But although we surrendered our claim, the territory would be no less valuable to us now than it was esteemed then, when our President and a great body of our people were ready to fight for it. The purchase of the Russian territory renders it morally certain that we shall someday acquire the strip then in dispute In the first place, a gap in our possessions on the Pacific coast will always be an eyesore to the nation, whose sense of symmetry will be offended by the ragged look of tho map. The national imagination will always require that our coast line shall be continuous, and this aspiration will sooner or later be potential. It will secure for the Government efficient popu lar support whenever the time shall be ripe for completing what is now begun. In the next place, it will have a solid importance as a national acquisition. As soon as the Mexi can Republic is settled, we shall probably acquire Lower California by a treaty of pur chase, and we shall then need only what we rennquisiieu in me uregon treaty to give us the whole Pacific coast from Cape St. Lucas to Behring's Strait a coast line of nearly four thousand miles. The advantage of this ex clusive continuity will be, that it will diminish immensely the cost of national protection. There will not be a foot of ground on that ex tended coast where a hostile power could build a fort, establish an arsenal, or maintain a gar rison ; nor a harbor into which a hostile fleet could enter for coal, supplies, or repairs. The immense dislances by which that coast is sepa rated lrom the rest ot the world must make it invulnerable by our foes in every future war, when we come to possess all its harbors. I he acquisition lrom Russia is important because the British part of the coast is certain to follow, at some day more or less remote. bo long as the two nations are at peace, we can take no other steps towards its acquisition than proposals to purchase. It such propo sals are rejected, we can afford to wait, since time will accomplish much for us and nothing for Great Britain. Our population and mili tary strength on the Pacific are growing so rapidly that the seizure of the residue of the coast in the event of war will become con stantly easier. If wo should never have an other war with Great Diitain, we shall never need the territory; if we should have a war, we shall, of course, take it. Looking to the future, we must regard the purchase of the Russian possessions as wise, although they are of little immediate value. It is an advancing step in that manifest des tiny which is yet to give us British North America. hen we have completed our coast line on the Pacific, we shall have hemmed around and shut in from tho sea nearly the whole British territory. Canada lies behind our New Fngland States and New York, which form a broad belt separating it from the At lantic. The St. Lawrence river is of little value as an outlet, because it is closed by ice a great part of the year, and its mouth is en veloped with fogs which render navigation dangerous even during the warm season. A country thus shut in would find itself so crip pled, if we should close our gates, that its people will in time be convinced that annexa tion is for their interest. It was for reasons such as these that President Pierce opened, twelve years ago, the negotiations with Russia which President Johnson is now drawing to a conclusion. John MorrUfccy In a Dilemma. Fom the JJcruld. The friends of Joe Coburn and Jobu C Hecnan are said to be anxious to niatcU them lor a prize fight for $10,000 a side and ttie champion's belt. There must be some mistake in this, however; John MorriSiey is champion or America. He whipped Heenan, and is now tberighilul owner of the bell. If toDurnor Hecnan desire to win the cbampiouabip, they must first challenge John Momssey, when oe willberompelled to figbt or t jield up the belt to his challenger, according wi the prize-ring. The recess ot Congress wm leave Morriey at leisure to decide i as he pleases. We should advise bun. however, to give up the pnz-e-rlns-,belt, and to ro injor the new "liiiK" at Wasbineton. vtltli &'s minBTplucknd practical Xoun world, he could soon h'P out Ihad 8.evou, Ben Butler, Boutwell, Ilulburc 1 and an m oilier political bruisers, and win aud now u.b championship there.
