The Cabinet Why It Iln Not nu
c;hn(il, nuil Why It Should
fJtiangeri.
From the N. Y. IJeratd.
' Again we have a report from Washington
that Mr. McCulloch is about to leave the Cabi
net. For two years we have been hearing
rumors of changes in the Cabinet. It has
been a stock theme all along for Washington
correspondent,-, who rung the changes some
times on one Secretary anl sometimes on
another, iul occasionally on all the Cabinet
Bt once. Pi or have these reports been without
foundation at times, ho far as the wishes or in
tentions of the l'resideut went. Hut iiio.it of
the old Cabinet have remained, and those
members of it especially who sluuld h:ive
been removed long ago. The l'resi lent has
been vacillating and undetermined, badgered,
and threatened by his enemies, aud pulled
this way and that by his professed friends till
be knew not what to do. The consequence is
that Mr. Reward, Mr. McCulloch, aud Mr.
Welles have hung on to their places. Had
Mr. Johnson made a complete change at the
commencement of his administration, he would
have saved himself and the country a groat
deal of trouble. But that is past. The ques
tion now is how far the evil can bo remedied
and what course the l'resideut should take
hereafter.
The old members of the Cabinet have neither
the confidence of the people nor of Congress,
except, perhaps, that Mr. McCulloch is insidi
ously supported by the Chase radicals and the
national bank men. Yet this is about as
Strong a reason as the President could find for
dismissing him. Welles is a nonentity;
Seward is a trimmer and a marplot, and
McCulloch is running the country into finan
cial embarrassment by his incapacity and im
practicable theories. They are all a positive
weakness to the administration; but McCul
loch is more than that he is a great calamity
to the country.
The Secretary of the Treasury la simply the
Creature of Mr. Chase and his friends. lie
runs the Treasury machine for their benefit.
The complicated system established by Mr.
Chase and perpetuated by him provides places
for an army of that portion of the radical
party, and creates colossal fortunes for the
national bank capitalists. Two objects are
reached by this Treasury machinery
and financial policy, if policy it can be called.
First, Mr. Chase and his friends and partisans
are made rich at the expense of the people,
and, second, a powerful combination is estab
lished for the purpose of controlling political
affairs and placing the Chief Justice in the
"White llouse.
When we leok at the manner in which our
national finances have been managed from the
time Mr. Chase went into the Treasury Depart
ment up to the present time, we are forced to
the conclusion that the objects have been as
we have stated. It has been one system all
through; a system to enrich friends and parti
sans, and to create a moneyed power in the
republic Mr. McCulloch has faithfully carried
out the purpose of his chief and patron.
13ankera and politicians from Ohio, Indiana,
and other parts, have had control of the Trea
sury and the resources of the country. What
that has cost the people it would be hard to
guess. The sum must be stupendous. In fact,
our enormous national debt is the conse
quence. We need not have been burdened
with this debt. If any debt had been uec ssary,
it would have been comparatively small had
Mr. Chase followed the advice and accepted
the oilers of the New York bankers at the be-
ginning of the war, as it was understood he
agreed to do. A hundred aud iifty millions in
gold was raised for him by the bankers theu,
and had he sold his securities for what they
would bring in the market at the time, as he
had been advised to do, the capitalists of this
city and other parU of the couutry would
have furnished all the money he required.
But this would not have made Mr.
Chase's friends rich, nor would it have
erected a moneyed power in his interest.
We should have had no. suspension of
specie payments and a comparatively small
debt; but Mr. Chase would not have attained
the object he had in view. Mr. MoCallojh is
but the agent and tool of Mr. Chase in per
petuating the ruinous iinaucial system origi
nally established, lie is merely a small coun
try banker, has no idea of national liuauce,
and only follows his master. Such is the Sec
retary of Treasury with whom this great couu
try is cursed. We are losing hun lrels of
millions through his incapacity. Unless he
be removed we shall be plunged into dreadful
financial disasters. If the President has not
courage or sagacity enough to remove the
Other old Cabinet officers, he should, at least,
request Mr. McCulloch to resign, and appoint
some able man in his place. We need a states
man, and ot a small country banker, at the
head of the Treasury Department.
What Might Have Beeu.
From the X. Y. Tribune.
The New York Time, in discussing the
issues involved in our pending canvass, sees
fit to ask:
"How are the Southern States to get Into tlio
Union, It not by compliance Willi Uie Conjures
slonul plan? The i'i tsldenl's plan may have
beeu better In its day, but its diiy Is past. It is
as dead ns the rencriptN of the Cii sirs. J f it had

media ely on the close of the war,thecoiique.rinr
North I.hcI come loi ward, and in a spirit of matc
tiaulinoiiH and self-relluut gmierosity, had leu
Uered lothe conquered Koiuli prompt readmls
Bion to the Union they had In vain attempted
to break in two free rcBtoruilon to all the rights
aud privileges of the. Constitution they had
vainly attempted 10 overthrow we believe that
long ere this the whole country would have
been at pmce, the principles vindicated and
the measures established durlnir the war
would have been adopted as a basis or the na
tional policy, and wo Khonld have been in a
much more prosperous and promising condi
tion than we are at present.
Believing this to be an essentially erro
voneous and mischievous statement of very
essential facts, we are constrained to abk the
Times to reconsider it, and to show the coun
try, if it can, wherein we misapprehend the
.atter.
On the day after we announced General
,.;e'H surrender, we began to plead in uo
, liucing tones, with no bated breadth, for
Lhat magns-idmity and soli-reliant gene-
t ity" which the Time. now so justly coin,
iii ends, but which its columns then did nei
; 'ier advise nor exhibit. We indicated no con
( itioJS, "proposed no bargain; but it seemed to
r,s so obvious that none could ignore the fact,
that the North mnt take 'care that' its mag
t nauiiuity did not surrender the black Union
i ts of the South into the unchecked power of
"those who had rel.oll.-d and done their utmost
to break up the Union expressly to extend
j.nd perpetuate their slavery.
'l.vjjts. soon proved our appreheusio.n too
well ku'iued. President Jphnsvu launched
Lis pU'u of n. ojiotructi.'U, and the States
Each of thn States which remain unrepre
sented in Congress was placed completely
under the sway of what had been its Kebel
element. And not one of these States, as thus
reconstructed, conceded the right of suffrage
to the blacks, nor even to that better portion
of them whom no man will soberly pronounce
personally unlit to exercise that right.
On the contrary, those States that is, the
ex-ltebels of those States, restored to sway by
President Johnson's "policy" proceeded forth
with to deal with tht-m as follows:
North Carolina forbade the reception of nero
testimony by her courts, except in cases where
blacks are parties. No contract with or by a
person of color should be valid unless redd 1
to writing and witnessed by a white. The
marriage of a white to a colored person was
declared void, and a punMiable misdemeanor.
And every person having an eighth of black
blood was declared a pel sou of color.
Mississippi enacted degrading laws bearinr
solely on colored persons similar to the above,
and pi escribed iu addition that no colored per
son fhould keep or bear arms (Alubanu
adopted this also), and by vagrant, appren
tice, and kindred acts, reduced her colore 1
population (a majority of the whole) to a st Ue
of virtual slaveiy. The act for reclaiming
fugitives for labor was quite as harsh as th-i
l''ugitive'Slave law; every colored child who is
an orphan oiwhose parents are nuablo to sup
port it must be apprenticed; every colored
person must have a lawful home; every laborer
quitting his employer's service without good
cause must forfeit all his wage.s; and, lhully,
all the penal laws against slaves aud free
negroes were expressly revived and made ap
plicable to froedinen. In short, it would not
have been practicable for a majority of the
blacks to have kept out of prison and out of
slavery if th0::e laws hal been allowed to
stand.
So it was throughout the State3 now
awaiting reconstruction from the Potomac to
the liio Grande not merely an absolute, per
emptory denial to the colored people of all
voice in making or modifying their laws or
choosing their rulers, but a superaddition
thereto of the most invidious, insulting tyran
nical enactments, calculated to invade their
rights, harrow their feelings, and render their
nominal liberty a mockery and a curse. Aud
all this was exulted over by the ex-Rebel
journals as certain to make them deplore their
emancipation. And, while the greatest stress
is now laid on the fact that the blacks are
ignorant (through whose fault ?) no step was
taken in a single State to dispel that igno
rance by the establishment of common schools
open to colored children.
Now, we challenge the Times to show, either
that we have misrepresented the action of
these Johnsonized States, or that "the Presi
dent's plan" contemplated the overruling of
these cruel, degrading enactments. If not, how
can the limes ignore these facts in arraigning
the North as deficient in magnanimity and
generosity ?
Had "the South" that is, the ex-Rjbel
South evinced a particle of these qualities in
its dealings with its own colored people nay,
had it treated that population with a decent
approach to justice we firmly believe that
the North would have shown abundant mag
nanimity. Or' had Johnson's "policy" pro
vided effectively against llebel tyranny over
the Southern blacks, we believe it must have
prevailed. But such legislation as we have
instanced, elucidated by the Memphis and
New Orleans massacres, enlightened and
aroused the North. It was seen that such
magnanimity as Johnson desired and the Phi
ladelphia arm-in-arm Convention upheld, was
incompatible with justice and good faith to
the four millions of Southern blacks whose
efforts and prayers had powerfully aided to
vanquish the Rebellion hence the public re
probation of that policy. It foil, not because
the North lacked magnanimity, but because
"the South" (so-called) sought to wreak on
her defenseless blacks its revengeful wrath at
the failure of the Rebellion.
But let bygones be bygones. Here is oik
journal in the North that has always been
openly, zealously desirous of speedy and
thorough reconstruction on the basis of uni
versal amnesty and impartial suu'rage. Aud
we mean by impartial suffrage that all Rebels
as well as all blacks shall vote, unless disfran
chised for some other crime than rebellion or
treason. Will the Times instance one distinc
tively Southern journal that advocates, or has
advocated, any basis of reconstruction which,
in its judgment, is fairer or more magnani
mous ?
The Revolutionary Movement iu Italy.
Irom the ir. 1'. Times.
It is not easy to form any well-defined
theory of the movement in Italy. The "Party
of Action, "as it is called, is that which has
given the King of Italy three-fourths of his
present possessions, and which has raised
Italy herself to a respectable position among
the foremost nations of K u rope. Its leader is
a prisoner of state. Without a violation o
his parols he can take no active part in the in
vasion of the Roman States. His arrest,
nevertheless, has been the signal for out
breaks at different points of the Roman fron
tier. In Viterbo, and in several other dis
tricts, the insurrection was reported as
extremely serious. The commander of the
Roman forces had applied at Florence for aid,
and the King's advisers had made no favorable
response to the appeal. Alarm was naturally
felt lest as a consequence of these events
the friendly relations of France and Italy
should be disturbed.
Whether the facts of the case are faithfully
narrated or not, it is clear that things are
gradually shaping themselves for a rupture
of the treaty of September.- Italy feels, aud
feels naturally, that she owes more to France
than is consistent with her complete indepen
dence. That feeling was the inspiration and
the motive of the Pitissian alliance, which
relieved the Florence Government, in part,
from the overwhelming patronage of their
Impel ial friend, and gave them an opportu
nity of working out some portion of the
sgheine of Italian unification by other aud
possibly less selfish agencies.
The Prussian alliance gave to Italy her
natural northern frontier. That alliance, at
the same time, led the way to the humiliation
of France, in the Danish-German principali
ties, at Sadowa, wdien the Rhenish frontier
was sought to be made a new dispute, and
finally at Luxembourg. The joiniugof hands
by Italy and Prussia has thus struck a fearful
blow at French ascendancy iu Europe. Italy
may have been ungrateful, but Italian states
manship was so skilfully used throughout
the whole of the complications growing out of
the German question, that the Kmperor of the
r rench was made an assenting party in every
step of the negotiations which led to the open
rupture between Prussia and Austria, and to
t oimnaUiauoe between Prussia aud Italy.
That alliance, up to a certain point, was
actively promote,! in Paris. The trouble has
been that it led to doubts which were not bar,
gamed for by the Imperial imt,, r iil
that it inured chiefly to the aggrandizement 'of
the new North German power, and prepared
the way for the relief of Italy from perpetual
CiUiiOt, L3 dlsoou-
nectfd from the relations which Italy has
established for herself by the German alliance.
She secured more than was bargained for in
that alliance. She rid herself of an oppressive
sense of obligation to France. She made it
apparent that the sentiment of Liberal Europo
was on her side, whatever might be the policy
of the French Kmperor, or the special interest
of the French nation. The Roman outbreaks
are as likely ns not to turn out an Imperial
diversion from the perplexing condition of
n llaiis -in Liberal Kurope. The circular of the
Prussian Minister, declaring in the same
breath his belief in the pacific nature of the
((inference of Salzburg, and his purpose to
proccMl, by constitutional means, with the
incorporation ol North aud Smith Germany
into one political body, h the most provoking
pa er that the French Governmunt has lril
Mil n:ilt d to it cilice the present dynasty w;ij
estr.Midied.
The Roman question, then, viewed in its
pr!vnt furin, may prove a good Impeiial car l
lor ti e time, l'.w n if the movement .-.hoti! 1
result as the revolutionary party expect it to
do, there is much gained lor the Kmperor ant
his system in turning up as the Chief Defender
of tiie Faith. There is a diversion of the
political mind of Fiance from the serious
humiliation involve 1 in the defiance so coolly
thrown down by the Prussian minister. There
is a chance of demanding indemnity from
Italy for what Imperial logic might easily
prove to be a violation of the treaty of Sep
tember. And there is, beyond all, the pros
pect of preventing the domestic concerns of
France from thrustiucr themselves too ru lelv
before the Imperial eye aud under the ga.e of
rauope. v nether these Roman outbreaks
are the woik solely of the revolutionary party,
or whether they are encouraged bv outside iu-
flm-nce, they inure, for the time, to the credit
and sustenance of French Imperialism.
A Way to Reduce the Public Debt.
From the N. Y. World.
In a prosecution for larceny proof may be
given of possession by the accused of the stolen
article. So, too, possession of a large amount
of money, several weeks after the criminal act,
not identified as the stolen property, is admit
ted as tending to prove, in connection with
evidence of the previous property of the de
fendant, a single act or larceny by him. We
remember to nave read a report of a case tried
in Massachusetts, where the charge, against a
ticKet-master oi a railroad, was m tlie nafuro
of embezzlement, extending over a period of
two years. The railroad brought a civil action
against its former ticket-master, claiming to
recover or mm a large sum, upon the
ground that he had fraudulently abstracted
and appropriated it to his own use while
in the employment of the road. The rail
road could not establish its case by direct
proot, but was compelled to resort to circum
stantial evidence. It offered to prove that
the defendant, when he entered upon the
employment referred to, was insolvent; that
his salary had been limited to a certain
amount, and that, subsequent to hi3 alleged
misdoings, he was theowuerof larg property,
far exceeding the aggregate of all his salary
while in the service of the railroad. This
proposition was denounced by the oounsel of
the ticket-master as monstrous in law, and
not sanctioned by the rules ot evidence. It
was nrced that to permit the introduction of
evidence by the railroad of the defendant's
poverty and riches, would compel the latter
to prove transactions aud negotiations duriug
all that time from which the property in his
possession resulted. The Court, however,
admitted the evidence, telling the jury that
it was not a competent way to prove that
money had been abstracted from the railroad,
bnt if they were satisfied from other testimony
that the railroad had really lost money, then
they could consider the iusolvency aud subse
quent solvency of the ticket-master as bearing
on the inquiry whether he had abstracted or
appropriated the money.
It would be edifying to see this rule of law
practically applied by the lovernment to its
internal revenue officers, in a suit begun to
recover money belonging to the United States
embezzled by them. That the Government'
has lost money can be substantiated by the
'Tribune editors, who assert that half a million
a day is a fair statement of the amount. The
next question would be whether the accused
officer of the internal revenue had taken any.
and how much. A pleYity of witnesses could
be called to testify to the general bad charac
ter, in an official sense, of the men appointed
by the present Republican administration, and
confirmed by a radical Senate. Commissioner
Wells, in his report of December, lStjtj, says:
"That a very large percentage of these
losses is due to the incompetency, neglect, or
complicity of officials, no one who has
had any experience in the supervision of
our revenue system can doubt." Mr. McCul
loch, in his communication to Congress of
July Is, 1SG7, testifies that his "officers have
been not only inefficient In the discharge of
their duties, but in many cases they have been
suspected of direct complicity with dishonest
men to defraud the Government." Commis
sioner Rollins declares, under date of July LJ,
lSu"7: "I regret to state that distillers aud
holders of spirits seem to have turned their
attention to corrupting the revenue officers
themselves, and am mortified by the apparent
frequency of these cases." To remedy this evil
and stop the admitted embezzlement, the
Metropolitan Revenue Board was organized a
temporizing expedient, which treated only
symptoms, and did not touch the cause of the
disease. But the Board has, by the necessity
of removing one of its members, furnished
other testimony useful to the Government iu
the suit we are considering.
There would be testimony enough forth
coming to justify introduction of evidenca as
to the insolvency of most of the internal reve
nue and law officers when appointed, and
their better pecuniary condition now. W3
can imagine the feelings with which some offi
cer of the Government in New York, or Ohio,
or Michigan, or elsewhere, who, as collector,
assessor, special agent, or district-attorney,
has been concerned in the administration of
the revenue law, contemplates the disclosures
in his case if the facts were made public of his
slender means, economical habits when ap
pointed to office, and his changed condition
now, with a line house, plenty of horses,
much jewelry, and altogether unlike the
poverty-stricken individual he was when he
passed the ordeal of a Republican Senate.
And yet, Republican office-holder, the time
may not bo far distant when the poople will
demand all these things to be revealed and
the guilty one to be a victim of that justice
which conquered Kohustaiuer, and so wres
tled with Henderson, publisher of the ' ening
1'ost.
To the public this legal notion of ours holds
out blight visions of reduced indebtedness.
What an enormous sum would be gained to
the Treasury if Mr. McCulloch'u Republican
officials could be compelled to disgorge, as
was the ticket-master in the case referred to !
We commend our idea to Mr. Tracy, who ap
pears to be the only District-Attorney who has
courage to deal with Government officials, and
does not content himself with hallooing about
a lew casks of lager beer seized on ft curt, or a
rccr Dutch, distiller nrrcste'd.
