The Tolley of (he lVerf Administration.
Wrom the Waihinytjix Nutional IntelUjcneer.
Two week have elapsed oiuoe the election,
and already the exoited discussions which
characterized the canvass, both in the press
and on the huttings, are hushed, and the
whole country ia speculating over what la to
le the future course and policy of "the ooming
man," in his conduct of the civil aHaira of
the Republic.
This is a subject of deep and solemn in
terest fo thu people of this country. To find
out and safely conjecture that course and
policy by the lights of his past life and aotioua
is by no means an Msy undertaking. The
talents, experience, and knowledge necessary
iu the conduct of varied oonoerna of a great
Government like that of the United States are
So entirely different from those required in
the management of a single and distinct
branch of the public service, that we can form
no adequate conjecture of what the success ef
General Grant is likely to be.
We wibh te do the l'resident elect justice,
and we mean to give hi in an earnest and gene
rous support iu all measures which he may
projeot for the restoration of peace to our dis
tracted oountry; the restoration of the rule
and reign of the Constitution in this laud; the
lifting off the burdeus of taxation from the
labor of the people; the introduction of eco
nomy and honesty into the administration, of
every branch of the publio service; the relief
of the financial diiQ unities which now allliot
the Government ami the psople alike; the
payment of the publio debt in as honest and
speedy a manner as possible, with justice
to all classes alike, exclusive privi
leges to none; the remanding of the
State governments of the Southern States to
the control and management of their owu
people, and the States of the Union to as per
fect an equality in every respect as they en
joyed before the breaking out of the uutortu
nate hostilities which have so sorely aillioted
the whole country. If he will turn his ener
gies in this direction, and realize the sublime
faot that "peace has its triumphs as well as
war," and that he is the President of the
whole people, ami not of a party, he may
make himself a name and renown which may
yet give him a claim to stand on the same
pinnacle of fame with Washington aud Jack
son, as he is about to take his seat in the
same chair which they occupied at two im
portant epochs in our history, when diffi
culties no less formidable than those which
now encompass him threatened the cause of lib
erty and constitutional right in this land. Dis
tinguished as he is now, when reflected in the
gleam, of his sword, he must seek to be great .
by protecting the constitutional liberties of the
country in the Cabinet. As great as the mili
tary glory of Washington aud Jackson was,
the civic renown which euuircles their memory
and history is -far more resplendent. They
never forgot the sublime Idj unction whioh was
imposed upon them by their oaths, to reve
rence and protect the Constitution as the
anchor of all the hopes of their country. Ttiey
had a party to obey, but never forgot that
they bad a country to serve. Thus thought
and thus ajted the heroes of the first aud
Second War of Independence.
With General Gi aut himself is then the
Issue. lie now holds his owu destiny aud the
destinies of his country in his owu bauds.
Without the oivio experience of either Wash
ington or Jackson, he may yet emulate their
renown, and may make their lives and oou
ducl models for his own. Their teachings,
with those ef all the great pages and states
men who have rendered the administration
of our Government illustrious, are before
him. Aided by that common sense with
which God has endowed him, and his know
ledge of meu acquired in his intercourse
with them, he ought to be able to call to
his counsels the best men in his party.
If he will do this he will start iairly, and
win the confidence' of his countryuiHn iu
advance. He will need the conservative ui-m
of his party. He has said, "Let us have
peace," and thousands upon thousands of his
oountrjmen took him at his word, aud vottjd
for him; because they believed that he meant
the peace which an observance of the Consti
tution and the law brings, and not the
turmoil, disorder, and bloodshed which
force, the bayonet, and the bullet
Eroduce. If he seeks to be great, as
e is now distinguished, he must put
his' foot down upon viudictiveness and revenge,
and come back to the feelings of honesty aud
fairness which burst from his own heart when
he met General Lee aud the remnant of his
gallant army at Appomattox Court Uoue, and
when he made his report to President Jottnsou
of the condition of the South and the bear
ing and temper of its people towards the
Government. With all of his retidence, all
ef his apparent coldness of nature, here was
a gleam of relief to it generosity in the hour
of triumph. It awoke a response ia the
heart of the country, aud excited the alarm
and fear of the Jacobins in the Capitol. Now
another and greater hour of triumph is here.
Can he be as magnanimous now as he was
gtnerous then ? We shall lee.
first it might be thought a very simple matter. I
Say they:
"There will be merely a vote, a simple renoiu
tton at tlie most the tnklns no altitude. The ,
leriHt declaration of will, followe 1 by a vessel
nron tbe count of Spain, and your duty t ful
filled; no more will be tpoken of a munarotiy
for upeln. Asslot 1 lie HpHntxU republic, aud
Europe will be republican without firing a
hot."
We would certainly be unworthy the title
of republicans and the name of men if we
refuted a vote and a vessel to free Europe from
the crowned tyrants and armed despotisms,
that have for ages crushed out its liberties,
ground out its life, aud trampled down its
people. Cengress shall take the vote, Farra
gut will command the ship, and Man will be
enfranchised I
But hold I Suppose a cloud should arise ia
yon clear heavens, and a storm burst forth
threatening to sbake the world, what then ?
Why then, thus shall it be:
".Nliould there be a struggle, as Micro Is caus6
to fear, you will not lull to bhiiJ a fleet to pro
tect your cltl.ctiH. Very well; In this mission
of tltltnne Include I he republican I All re
publicans nre your citizens.'1
Ay, indeed I Here we have battle in earn
est, war with a vengeance, and a world in
amis I It begins with a "snow-flake" vote,
and ends with a planetary cataclysm I
It is feared, say the radical Demouratio-Ile-publican
delegates, who represent "all nations
assembled iu publio meetings," that Frauoe,
Prussia, and their allies may take a part iu
the Spanish imbroglio. It is feared that the
tyrants may combine; and it is, iu that, event,
to take issue with them that we are called
upon iu the name of liberty. This is the
appeal.
We have naa mariy appeals or turn Kind
before from the Radical Liberals of Europe.
They always touch our feelings and sympa
thies. We have heard them iu the matchless
eloquence of Kossuth. We have felc them in
the strong language of Garibaldi. We have
read them iu the passionate rhetoric of Maz
ziui. They come from earnest men, and
from the depths of their souls. We cannot
hear them without a response of the heart.
We cannot refuse them without grief at its
necessity.
Hut that which is impracticable and impos
sible that which would be ruinous in the
very attempt that which would bring defeat
as its first result, aud dismay as its inevitable
consequence that whose assured elleot would
be the damage of the oause it was started to
serve might as well, first as last, be unier
stood as sure of refusal.
And yet we know fiat upon the American
Republic is imposed a mission for freedom aud
republicanism throughout the world not to be
shiiked. It is our tuissiou to hold up before
the nations the high attractions of democracy,
the greitness of a free people, the supremacy
of man. It is our misuiou to develop from the
democratic idea a better government, a purer
society, wier aud juster laws, aud a higher
type ot national character, than have ever
been possible under a system of repression and
despotism under kings and aristuoraoies, aud
great armies and ecclesiastical establishments
under Machiavellianism and intrigue or
Ca'sarism and force. When our developed
power and character shall be unfolded tonka
world when we are able to display the result
ot institutions hardly yet complete in their
formation, every despotism in Europe will be
undermined, and the reign of the people will
be established. But were we to go forth in
folly and madness, fighting for Spain and
Hungary, and Italy aud Ireland, and Crete
and Cuba, we should quickly find our owu
power uifdermined, and the Great Republic
consigned to history.
Uoiubast I! u 11 into Hie Ground.
?Vom "Hritk" Pomeroy't N. Y. Democrat.
The World, since it fell under the ban of the
Democracy of the country, and is losing sub
Fcribers by hundreds every day, is tearing
around like mad to try to save itself from
total destruction. It has gone into the sensa
tion lice, and is running into all sorts of ex
aggerations to try to attract readers. It pub
lishes a canard every day, in the hope to check
the rapid fall in its eirculation. It is over
stating, overacting, and inventing, to a degree
unprecedented iu the metropolitan press.
From the stately dignity which it once as
sumed, it has dropped down to the per
formances of a mountebank, and
turned the veriest blower that ever
soiled white paper ' with rodomontade.
It Is in vain to seek the simple, uuvarnished
truth upon any subject in its columns. Such
a recklessness of statement is nowhere else to
be found. There is not the slightest reliance
to be placed upon anything which appeafs iu
its pages. Its boastings are as ridiculous as
its assumptions are false. One day it claims
credit to itself for the immense Democratic
majorities iu the metropolitan distriot; the
next for the whole Democratic vote of the
country. Miserable pretender I The De
mocracy has polled an immense vote iu spite
ol the Worl 1 not in consequence ot Its ex
istence, or by its aid. We should be huu
dreds of thousauds stronger to-day if Mtyor

his heart against tuat base, whimpering ap-

Irom the A. Y. Tribune,
Now, while the poliUoians are mustering
tLeir duns for the division of the spoils of th.j
late victory, and before ilie posts of greatest
truht aud responsibility are allotted, we beg
those interested, as every sincere Republioau
must be, iu the success ok President Grant's
administration, to bear iu mind that the three
posts of greatest Importance, iu an ecouomical
point of view, are those of Secretary of the
Treasmy, Chief of the Bureau of Internal
Revenue, and Collector of the Port of New
York. The first needs not so muo'i a popular
politician as a sound linaucier aud au able,
prompt, honest administrator of affairs; Of
41,000 oilicers of t'je Government, upward! of
16,( 00 are appointed through, aud are under
the orders of, the Secretary of the Treasury.
We do not think it ought to require two otli
cers to collect and pay out the money neces
smy to pay the other tbiee for the servicdS
they pertorm. But it id true that two
filths of the ( Hi ers of the United
States are doing only this aud nothing
mote. This shi. ws that our laws for .collect
ing public reveuae are less winely adapted to
the end than our rules for transacting private
business. Our reveuue lavs cau be so framed
and adiiiiiiisteitfd thai it, ch ill he tbe interest
of larifi aud tax-ptynrs to pay honestly aud
pnmptly, aud it will be mainly the fault of
the mai'Ugeuient of our Treasury Department
if this be not done. Congress stands ready to
pass any laws which the Treasury Depart
ment may show to be adapted to obuiu the
prompt and economical collection of ths reve
nue. W belie -e thU the worst aud most
coirupting. feature- of our import , tarili
and iuteinul revenue laws U the system of
dividing , l.he . proceeds of , Seizure - for
violatii ns of the Ux and tariff laws, aud
of compromises made ' on such' Seizures, '
among the ollioers of the Government, as
informers. This perniolous and rotten system
disgraces both our ouatom-houses and our
internal revenue offices. What is the result f
The officers of the Government are not inter
ested in an honest collection of the revenue,
ior mat passes ail the money into the Trea
sury, and they get only their salaries. Their
peouniary interest lies ia having, or pretend
ing, as many violations of the revenue laws
as possible, for out of those result seizures,
suits, compromises, and the division of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars among the
revenue offioers, as informers, the Government
getting nothing or next to nothing. One of the
phases of corruption to which this system
gives rise is the seizure of the establishments
or goods of innocent persons, in order to
share iu the profits of a compromise.
In one instance, in this city, a col
lector was removed, partly because he
would not make a seizure of a distillery which
he believed was paying its tax honestly. lli
succtssor seized it, and for the next year the
entire distriot did not pay as much revenue to
the Uovernmeut in one year as that one distil
lery Lad paid per month during the year pre'-
ctding. J5ut where the revenue stopped, the
plunder of the revenue offiuers and informers
began, and they gorged themselves on the
ruined establishment like vultures on a car
cass, until its owner, first supposing himself
driven in self-dtfense to manufacture without
paying the tax, and then oonvioted of so do
ing, was ruined, and his fortune divided among
the revenue oilicers as informers. The value
to the collectors of this feature of the Iuterual
Revenue law may be judged from the sworn
Statement of Sheridan Shook, during the im
peachment trial, that tbe object for which the
$30,000 was raised was not to buy the Presi
dent's acquittal, but to buy an amendment iu
the Internal Revenue law, which would secure
to him as Collector a little larger share in the
informers' fees in a particular class of cases.
So in our Custom House, in the very act
which an innocent publio is asked to bdlieve
is intended as the enforcement of the law by
tbe seizure of the importations of some
merchant who is alleged to hive violated it, a
closer investigation reveals only a conspiracy
on the part of the revenue oilicers to stop at
once the business of the merchant and the
revenue of the Government, by makiu a
seizure with the intent that it shall result in a
compromise and tbe division of a great part
of the value of tbe goods seized among the
revenue officers as informers. Fortunate.
indeed, is the merchant if behind the cupidity
of the custom officers there is not the deeper
motive of a bribe from some rival merchant
willing to pay for and promote the seizure of
his couipe titoi's goods. Very often those
merchants and manufacturers who are most
villainous in evading payment of the revenue
are most successful in escaping seizures, be
cause the revemi3 offijers are iu their pay.
Ou the other hand, men who have hid no
design to evade the revenue, and
wno, therefore, have not bribed
the revenue officers, are subjected to
seizures. Sooner than endure the expense
and risks of a litigation, they either compro
mise or buy their way through. In either
case the officers divide the plunder, while the
Government gets next to nuthing. To suoh a
system has this coriuption erown, and so
accustomed are our merchants to buying and
bribing their way through when seizures are
made, that a new profession of harpies, or
Custom House aud revenue "shysters," has
grown up, who extort large sums from,
those. whose goods have beeu seized, under
pretense that they have to divide the sums
so extorttd among high officers of the Trea
sury. There is evidently in our Internal Revenue
and Customs Departments ample fl-ild for
President Grant to distinguish his administra
tion by conquests over corruption and iniquity
even more difficult aud therefore more glorious
than his viotory over the armed hosts of the
Rebellion. When he led our troops into the
conflict the. common enemy had no solveut
which at once took the stiffness out of their
backs, thestreugth from their knees, aud the
instincts of manhood from their hearts. But
as he brings his army of office-holders into
the field, under a system of revenue laws
whioh makes it the interest of those office
holders to effect as little collection of the tax
and as many violations of the law as possible,
he will Cud that four-fifths of them will accept
the bribe, aud deserve removal withiu the first
year. We need, therefore, first, an entire re
vision of our revenue system, the payment of
each man by percentages on the amount
collected and salaries, aud au abolition of the
power to compromise suits aud seizures, and,
above all, an abolition of all informers' fees.
Then let ns have an honest, energetic, dri
ving, executive Secretary of the Treasury, a
thorough and competent chief tor the Bureau
Of Internal Revenue, and au able honest Col
lector for the port of New York, who will not
try to make So'0,000 a year out of informers'
fees, but will discharge every Custom House
clerk that makes a dollar outside of his salary,
or has any other busiuess than his clerkship.
We believe suoh reforms would save the Gov
ernment $100,0(10,000 of revenue, our men of
business from $200,UOO,000 more of plunder to
which ihey are now exposed, and the public
eonsoknee front very unuli temptatiou and
vidfciny. President Grmt's iiilluHuce should
first be felt iu our Treasury, Revenue, aud
Customs Departments. Ttie iuoumbeuts in
these departments will do well to set their
houses iu order. Sttaugers are comiug, aud

T he 'Jribuiieia disingenuous in saying that
while the M'ori protests against the monopo
lizing by tbe radical majority in Ma-Sicliu
Fetis of tbe entire Congressional delegation, it
does not tbjot to the almost entire exclusion
of tfce radical party iu this city from represen
tation, S'nte and Congressional. But the
World does object, and, to show that it did
and does rite to the broad level of a general
principle, reproduces the closing sentence ot
that very article which provokes the inaccu
racy of the 'ribnne. ''Massachusetts," said
that closing sentence, "must be reconstructed
in this matter, and with her the false princip'e
that fi-eds her monopoly as it does others."
Here is a declaration by the World against the
present fallacious system of representation,
to give it that name, aud not merely agiu-'t
the unfairness perpetrated under it iu the
Special Cttso of Massachusetts. That case Wis
taken as one very prominently piesentiuj? the
evil complained of, hut the &ppltc:uiou was
general.
To continue that application, we will reca
pitulate by saying that represeuuttou is
simply re-presentatiou, and that where tbe
politioitl composition of a comaiuuity is nut
corieclly bodied forth iii the assemblies pur
portii g to represent suoh commaoiiy, tUoie
bodies are not re-presmitative but mls-pre-seutative.
The principle ou which we go is
that each voice shtll have its Bbare in the
chores, and not that the singiDg be all tenor
or all bass. To illustrate this we will take,
the figures in the case of three States that
have luruished full official returns. Obviously
the correct way to fl the representation of
lhos. communities is to apportion the repre
sentatives in the ratio of opposing voters.
Thn, if there be a community entitled to
twt Jjtv representatives and the toUl vote be
100,-tJOO, whereof 120,000 are, bq to speak, A
votes and 80,000 B votes, then there should
be 12 A representatives and 8 B representa
tives, and not, as is now generally the case,
the whole 20 given to the A's, to the utter
political throttling and deprivation of repre
sentation of the B's. . To oome to the actual
oases, we find the votes and representation of
three Btates, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania,
and Rhode Island, standing thus:

Now, if we take the total vote in these
States to get the ratio of voters entitled to a
Representative, we will find that representa
tion would stand thus:

Here it will be seen that, counting the
larger fraction as entitled to the representa
tive, Rhode Island remains unaltered; bat iu
tbe other States a just proportion of repre
sentatives to voters is kept up. Furthermore,
the figures show yet another inequality than
the one we are discussing, to wit, that a
voter in Rhode Island is very nearly three
times as potent in the .election of representa
tives as one in Pennsylvania, and nearly twice
as potent as one iu Massachusetts, while the
Massachusetts voter is fifty per cent, more
potent thau the lVnnsylvanian. Not to pur
sue this particular view, which serves to show
how little right these New England States
have to their preseut share of the House, we
have only to repeat that the non-representation
of large bodies of voters, by reason of au
originally vicioun system still further aggra
vated by partisan administration, is au evil
that must be abated and will be abated on a
correct eomprehension of its magnitude. To
tbe formation of such a comprehension the
World will not cease to direot its efforts.
