Prom the If. Y. Herald. The several Committees of both Houses of tongress on Ways ami Meaus, Finance, Cur ency and Nauklng, tie Revenne, and cognate ,.uljects relating to our national nuances, are busily at work, with a view to regulate the present disordered and oppressive state of things. They have a great deal to perform to accomplish this, but it is, in a great measure, labor of a negative character, to undo and straighten out the crude, entangled and com plicated works done heretofore by Congress and an incompetent Seoretary of the Treasury. First, the revenue system, or rather want of System, should be thoroughly overhauled and organized. At present it is in great disorder, very oppressive, ruinously expensive, and full of corruption. It is hardly possible to find in the history of nations any revenue system so demoralizing, both to the people and Govern ment. In time of peace, and nearly three years after the war closed, we raise a revenue of over six hundred millions of dollars that is, Teckoning the gold receipts from customs in lawful money as well aa the internal revenue, fr'o people in the world are so heavily taxed. Yet seven years ago sixty to seventy millions a year were sufficient to carry on the Govern ment, and even that amount was considered extravagant. In seven years we have in creased the revenue and burdens of the people nine fold. We should have thought this lnoredible seven years ago, and it is frightful to contemplate now. It is a war revenue nearly three years after peace was established a revenue such as the richest and greatest empires would hardly venture to raise in time of war. Every one knows this stupen dous amount is not necessary, even with the hundred and thirty to forty millions a year re quired to pay the interest on the debt. With economy in legislation and in the management of the Treasury Department, half the present revenue should be ample. If we calculate the de crease of expenditure in collecting a revenue diminished by half under efficient manage ment, the taxes would be reduced in a greater proportion. Nearly two-thirds of our present fcurden probably might be taken off with safety. But this is not all. The Government loses or is cheated out of something like a hundred and fifty millions a year by whisky and other frauds, as the evidence has shown. lN'ever was known before suoh a loose, extra vagant, and complicated revenue system. One of the first things Congress should do is to reduce taxation, to raise an income from fewer articles and sources, and that ohiefly from luxuries, and to simplify the whole ma chinery of collection and management of thU department. Then the entire debt should be consolidated and bear five per cent, interest. We have now a number and variety of forms of indebted ness, making great confusion and creating all sorts or stock gambling in ana out of the Treasury Department. (Secretary McCulloch's policy has been as much the delis ht of gold and stock gamblers as disastrous to the coun try, 'lne various forms of debt might be con verted into one of five per cent, consols. This conversion to uniformity, with reduced in terest, might be made without loss if the debt were payable at a long period. Still, that Would not prevent the Government from esta blishing a sinking fund, or of buying up tne debt from year to year with funds provided for that purpose. Indeed, the debt might be made payable fifty years hence, and yet all of it ex tinguished before maturity. Let us, then, have a uniform consolidated debt at a lower interest, and at the same time a sinking fund for its liquidation within as short a time as may be practicable. But the first step should be to pay off at once five hundred millions or so of the interest-bearing bonds by an issue of legal-tenders in place of the national bank notes, and by the surplus money in the Trea sury. The interest-bearing debt might be re duced to fifteen or sixteen hundred millions within a year, and this at five per cent, would require only seventy-five to eighty mil lions a year to be raised for paying the interest on the whole debt. With regard to the currency, nothing should he done except to make it uniform through withdrawing the national bank circulation and issuing greenbacks in place of that. There should be no further contraction. The country has settled down to the present amount of circulation, and all values and transactions in business are based upon it. To contract would be most disastrous, as we have experienced lately, and would dry up the Source of Industry and the revenue of the Government. The increasing population and active industry of the country will absorb all the currency, so that it will beoome, year after year, less abundant and more stringent rela tively. In this way we shall grow up gradu ally to specie payments without any serious revulsion. These are the highly important subjects Congress should attend to during the present session and before the excitement of the Presidential election commences. They can not be postponed without serious injury. Bimole. vlain measures, such as common sense will dictate, are all that is necessary to place the national finances on a sate and stable foundation. Geateral Or mm t and the Presidency. Vrom the jy. Y. T-met. We are not surprised to find that the reoent letter attributing to General Grant the deolara tion that he desired not to he the candidate f any party but of the people for the Pre sidency, was totally without authority. Gene ral Dent, to whom the letter was ascribed, repudiates it as a forgery. General Grant has said nothing of the kind nothing of any kind, so far as we are aware, in regard to being candidate. No man can be elected President without first being nominated by some party. Preat- aennai elections sr uiauagea by TMi an(j complicated machinery and that machinery is In the hands of politioal parties. - The people JDeiOUg 10 ono puriy ur iuo uuior, Ihey are either ltepuuucaiis or uewooiw. m i tn sav. in the main, and with more or less quali fication, they approve and support the potior of one party or the other. Just now the party ionds hang very loosely on a very large minority in each party. They can be shaken off from either by blunders in policy or in the nomination of candidates; but it is only under the rargst circumstances that both parties could be so broken up as to give a third nominee a chance of suacess against both can didates. We doubt whether such circum stances now exist. We do not believe that the actual sentiment Cf a majority of the people is acourately repre THE DAILY EVKKiKG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, sented by either cf the existing parties; a very larpe el ment in each party is discnutented with Us position ana nouou. i reouu-w no tion on the basis of universal negro snffragn, to be forced upon the Southern States by mili tary power, is to be the platfonn of the Rh pnblican party, a very large minority of that party, to cay the least, will be alieuated from it in pentiment, if not in action a minority large enough and powerful enough to preveut its fVM'ceBB, in spite of the alliance sought and confidently expected with the negro vote in the South. If the party adopts a platform le38 extreme, which fhall leave to the people of the South, blacks and whites, who my b quali fied to vote, a large control over their own affairs, the chance of success is decidedly with the Republican candidate. But the feeling pervades the publio mind . ... . .. ... . that the object to be sought in the coining eleoclon Is, not so much to establish, any ab stract principle, nor even to settle upon any definite, precise, and inflexible line of publio policy as to reBtore the Union upon some jnst, wise, and practicable basis resting, not upon party interests or sectional resentments or distrusts, but upon a general conviction of justice and a patriotio desire to promote the nnion, peace, good government, ana perma nent prosperity of the whole country. We be lieve that this feeling is much stronger than either the demand for universal negro suffrage or for the exclusion of negroes altogether from the right to vote; and that the party which embodies it most thoroughly in its platform and selects a candidate accepted by the people as most certain, from his opinions, attitude, and past action, to carry it out. will be most likely to carry the eleotion. The Republican party has an tne advantage of position in this matter. It has, from its action during the war, the publio confidence to a far greater degree than its opponent. Its history shows it to be less reactionary, and more solicitous for political and social progress, and entertaining a deeper sense of the crime of rebellion than the Democratic party. Bat all these advantages may be thrown away by extreme demands which at once shock the publio sense'of justice and put in still farther peril tne peace, uarmony, and weuare 01 tne Union. If General Grant is nominated by the Re publican party on a moderate and just Union platform, his election is a certainty. If the extreme Republicans should do what they threaten, force the party upon extreme ground and nominate a representative candidate, or if they should nominate such a candidate by themselves in advance, it is by no means im possible that the Conservative element in both parties may appeal to General Grant to save the country from the perilous results which their success in such a canvass would involve. And in that event, his election would be quite as certain as in the case first supposed. Bat nothing is less unlikely than the formation of a third party in advance of some suoh indica tion of its necessity. The Italian Conflict. From the N. Y. Tribune. The New York Times, disoa ssing the failure of Napoleon's proposed Conference, says: "Although we have thought that the meeting of tbe Conference might bring about au advan tage for Italy, it seems as though tbe Human question could not poBHlbly tie bolved by suoti amelbod. Tbe Pope will not give np Koine until it is torn from blm by force. Aud Victor Emanuel will not give up bis designs upon Home, unless he is restrained by force. Neither of them will compromise, nor recede, nor bank down on tbe single point in dtHDUte between them which is Rome. And it is hard to see bow either of them can backdown. It Koine 18 a necessity to Italy, it is no less a neceselty to the Pope, aud if tbe Pope would be destroyed by loslDg Rome, Italy must be deBtroyedby felling to obtHln it. Two etarving dogs never fought for a bone under the inspiration of a higher law of existence than Pope and King struggle lor the possession of Borne." Comments by the Tribune. If the above be a true statement of the oase, then it follows that the Papacy had no sub stantive existence down to the time when a quasi political sovereignty was acooried by the Kmperor to the rope, aooui tne year i jo. We judge that no intelligent Roman Catholic will aocept this conclusion, nor affirm pre mises which involve it. But we strenuously deny that there is any necessary incompatibility between the posses sion of Rome by Italy and the proper inde pendence of the Pope as the head of a great Christian Church. We deny that the Papaoy has gained in power or prestige by the politi cal sway accorded to Its chier. nven were me Pone made Kinor of Italy, instead of an insig nificant fraotion thereof, the Papacy would not be benefited thereby; and, were Rome as muy nossessed and ruled by Victor r.manuei as Florence or Turin is, the Papaoy would gain th orati v in dlcrnitv and In power. It lnnt no article of either during the seventy years in which the Popes resided at irnvtr nn nhflTl K111H VII W AH 11U1U. m I'll" nt ntat in France bv Napoleon I. And were the Pone driven from Rome to-morrow, and never again allowed to set foot In that citv. the Panaor would rather gain than lose thereby. For its power and influenoe, out side of the narrow limits 01 a nine aiaie, is purely spiritual, and gains nothing whatever from Its political sovereignty, in laci, was strongest, under Ilildebrand, when its politi cal dominion was temporarily subverted. And now. were the Pope simply Bishop of Rome, with no more politioal power than the Archbishop of Milan er 01 urieans, nis spiritual sway would be nowise impaired or restricted. We make no pretense of sympathizing with or snpportinsr the spiritual any more man me temporal assumptions of the Papaoy. Let eaoh rest on its merits, and let those uphold either or both who shall see fit. We only insist that this assumption of an inevitable and perpetual confliot between Italy and the Papacy that political sovereignty over Rome "is a necessity to the Pone" ia at war with reason and with history, and outrht no longer to be counte nanced. It is involving the Papaoy in an enor mous and ever-inoreasinir debt to maintain a shadow of authority which is wholly illusory, Rome, refusing to be Italian, beoomes thereby not independent, but simply Frenoh. And the longer this folly is persisted in the worse for the Papacy, which is educating at least twenty mil Hons of born catholics to loam it as me implacable foe of Italy and of human rights. The Grant Originals From the If. T. Tribune. We have steadily insisted that should Gene ral Grant be nominated and supported for President by the Republicans, many of those who claim to have discovered and preempted him as a candidate will be found working either openly or insidiously for his defeat,. The Uerahl we have expected to find among Ids open, the Commerciat among his insidious opponents. Still, we were rather surprised to find the Herald unmasking and opening its Batteries upon him before the close of 1807. let the leading articie in its last Issue, after a prelude of rigmarole, demonstrates against 1 1 i am it a f a1 1 At a AJiU-1 HO iVUVTID! Under these clroomUnce. we predict the culmination in November uextof the politioal revolution of which we have airuudv fait, tha urbt shoe, if torn au the ay inptoui that ur rnnnd us, II 1 eiis.v to foresee that the violence and lolly ol Cointreau, In forcing upon the omi' ny a policy entirely foreign to nur lustltutlons, and in conflict wlih nil our Idea of freedom, Juki Ice, and ucnu'iiMiy, will untie Uie people ui on the Denxx-milc mid conservative nominee, foril.e next Pienldt'Ucy, aud tnat he will ba e cnt'd by n large majority. The radicals may ho e to save llieraelve by mlllng to their aid the great name ' General Grant; but it that diRtit.guiimed military leader ehould accept a nomination upon the African supremacy plat form of the preRent (Jongress, be will be de feated at the polls ns aslly as Chaaeorany othi r oiinrildnte would be. The principles that agitate the country in. the present time are Mioimer tbnn men, and no personal popularity can for an Instant blind the eyes of the pe ple to the Importance of I he Issue. The reconstruc tion policy to which the radical prty promises to ml litre Is au atioclous outrag r upon civilized society. It lie.' rude ti e white race, and, bv giving politioal rower Into tbe uncontrolled pons! anion of hundreds of thousand of Igno rant and ilelmsecl negroes, breaks down all the rafeennrds of society, obliterates the progress of halt a century, reduces ten Hiates of tbe Union to a conillt Inn of Alrlrnu barbarism, and d- mo ralizes Ihi'lNallonnl Government, It la against this policy that the people will rrcord their votes, and it Is to save the country from these evils that they will defeat the radical Presiden tial candidate next fall, whoever he may be. "We do not belive that General Grant will consent to represent suoh a party or such a Follry in the Importaut canvass;of next year, le is shrewd and sagactouH, and, as be begins to comprehend the corning revolution, he Is in dicating, thronuh his nearest friends, his unwil lingness to staud upon such a platform as the radicals are preparing lor him. In this be Is right. The election of 1SU8 will be but a repeti tion of that of 1N52, although on a broader and grander scale. Hrott, a popular and renowned noldler, was defeated by the almost solid vole of the Union four Hiates only casting their elec toral vote for him, although bis opponent was a New Hampshire nonentity, unfit for the po' itlon. without any political reputation in his own Slate, and unknown to tbe rest of the country. The overthrow of the radical negro supremacy candidate next year will be as com plete as that of the Whig nominee in 1S52. It is to be hoped that Oeneral Grant may be spared the pain of snch a defeat, and that the conservatives and Democrats may put before tbe country a more desirable man than ponr Pierce. In proportion as their success is as sured, they owe it to tbe nation to present none but a patriot and statesman for the bud rages of the people." All this is exactly as we foresaw, and as we have repeatedly warned our readers. The guerillas, who are seeking popularity and con sequence under pretense of General Grant, care no more for him than for patriotism or prinoiple. They wished to defeat the Repub licans in our recent eleotions; so they shouted themselves hoarse for Grant, and then whis pered in the ears ot their dupes, "Beat the Republicans badly this fall, and they will have to nominate and support the General for President in 18G8." Having thus achieved their end, they are now ready to throw off for Hancock, or for any one else with whom they may hope to beat the Republicans next year. General Grant is nowise responsible for the conduct of these guerillas, and should not be prejudiced by it. The country will judge him by his own acts ana utterances, ana not by those of others. Aud the man who will be chosen President next fall, whoever he may be, will be chosen standing openly and proudly on a platform of impartial liberty and equal rights for all citizens. Stanton The President The Republi can. Prom the N. Y. World. The telling message of President Johnson on Stanton's case the most scathing of his many able messages, and needing only a more weighty occasion and subject to make it a state paper of the first order of merit should have an effect on poor Stanton like the search behind the screen in the apartment of "Joseph Surface," in the School for Scandal. If the man's nature has any lingering remnant of the sensibilities of a gentleman, he will hide his face in confusion and wish to Blink away from human observation. Despite the sober and sea soned gravity of its manner, the message Is as good aa a comedy. Its effect on Stanton and his zealous Republican laudators must be like that produced on "Falstafif" by the exposure of his prodigious heroism against the men in buckram. It is conceivable enough that a man may differ vehemently with the President, even on points where the President is strong and right, without having any cause to blush for his personal probity or his sense of charaoter. A man's honest prejudices, he they ever so vio lent, do not dishonor and degrade him. But when a man passes himself off for a martyr, and is presently unmasked as a hypocrite, he is beyond the pale of charity. If Mr. Seward should turn upon the President, and raise a quarrel on the ground that Mr. Johnson had consented to squander the publio revenue in the Russian purchase, or II Mr. MoCulloch should try to fasten on him a quarrel because he favors a contraction or the currency, or Mr. Stanbery because he vetoed the Recon struction hill, every honest man would declare without hesitation that these mem hers of the Cabinet were disgraced. But if these scarcely supposable hypotheses were faots, they would fade away before suoh infamy as Stanton's. This perfidious mis ereant had the indescribable impudenoe to tell the President that he waa unfit to be trusted with the appointment of an ad interim Secretary of War, when he himself had been not merely an approver, but the author, of the policy for which the president was oondomned ! lne reconstruction puiiuy oi jur. jouusun which is "the head and front of his offending ' was devised and put in writing by Stanton himself, before Mr. Johnson became President It had the previous approval of President Lincoln, and was accepted by Mr. Johnson when he came into office. These faots and documentary evidence to prove them are given by Mr. Johnson in the Message, and the well- driven nail is clinched by the sworn testimony of Stanton himself. The North Carolina proclamation, in which President Johnson's reconstruction policy was first announced was a concoction of Stanton's brain, and in all its essential features, the production of his pen I The brazen knave and hypocrite outdid even himself in publicly contesting the Presi dent's authority to suspend him. He rested his remonstrance on the "Constitution" and the "laws," but was prudently tender of going into particulars. The word "Constitu tion" in such a oonneotion should have burnt his pen like vitriol, and reddened the very paper with shame, lie, as having been former Attorney-General, was consulted by the President respecting the constitutionality of the Tenure-of-Ofllee bilL and held it to be in plain confliot with the Constitution. He supplied orally all the best poluts in the veto of that bill, and would have written the veto message bad It not been for a transient p&yai cal infirmity. And yet be bad the amazing effrontery to plead the Constitution against the act of the President. A man capable of this is capable of any meanness, and he probably was in collusion with congress at me very time ne was supplying the President with arguments against their action. The bill was probably amended 60 as to include LaMnet officers his instigation, and his arguments against its constitutionality were a device for warding o snsnicion. This snake in the grass was the onlv member of the Cabinet for whom the Re publicans had any tenderness, or whom they had any motive to keep In office. The skulking baseness, the personal and official treachery of this perfidious caitiff in connection with the New Orleans riot, would alone be sufficient to blast his reputation as a man of honor. In the very crisis of the danger, before the riot occurred, a despatch came to Washington from General Baird asking instructions. This despatch was con cealed by Stanton, and kept from the know ledge of the President for many days after the riot. Had the President re ceived it in time, the riot would have been prevented. That soene of bloody violence was precisely what the Republicans needed to enable them to carry the elections against the President. It spread a sentiment of horror and vengeance through the North which gave the Republicans the elections. It thereby emboldened Congress to adopt all the violent measures which, as the publio mind sobers, are producing so mighty a reaction. As a point of official duty, quite apart from its noxious consequences, there could be no ex cuse for withholding that despatch from the TreBident. But when thu mischief was done, and the country blazing from end to end with wild indignation against Mr. Johnson, then it was that this wretch, Stanton, steeped his soul in the most villanous perfidy. By giving publicity to the facts, this undutiful Secretary this spotted and skulking adder could have turned back the tide of slanderous obloquy which was surging over his official chief. It is no more than any honorable mau would have done, even if he had no party affiliation or personal relations with the Presi dent. But Stanton lay like a coiled reptile among the papers of the War Department, stealthily watching the swelling caused by his fangs. The serpent, having bitten in secret, slunk into his den. He had poisoned the publio mind against Mr. Johnson, and if he also sup plied the antidote he would oanoel his merit with the President's enemies, and lessen their chances of triumph. Justice marches with a sio w Btep, but sooner or later she overtakes an who merit ner scourge. The reputation of Stanton is smitten with a loathsome leprosy lrom which no heal ing waterB can oleanse it. The Republicans so hotly espoused his quarrel; they were so muoh iudebted to his treachery; bis snaky roids are so wound into and interlaced with their favorite measures, that they cannot instantly fling him off; but no honest Republican can fail to regard him as a disgraced mau. He is a slimy load for the party to carry, and yet they will perhaps feel that in the very nrst contest that has arisen under the lenure-of- Office bill, they cannot bear the humiliation of succumbing to the President. It is not merely the personal character of Stanton that is in question; their Tenure-of-Office bill is in ques tion; their Reconstruction scheme is in ques tion; the merits of their quarrel with the l re sident are involved; the party capital they made of the New Orleans riot returns to plague them. They may, therefore, caress the loathed reptile for a while, lest by too suddenly pun ing him away the limbs of their own fAvorite children should be torn off in his tightened coils. He may perhaps give another hiss, be fore he glides away fangless into befriending obsounty. QR EAT REDUCTION, FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
