THE DAlLx EVENING TELEGRAM PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1803. SPIRIT OF TJIE PRESS. gDITORIAIt OPIH10B8 OF Tlta LBAIHNU JOURNALS croit ocbkrst tones compilkd kvkht DAT FOR IHI BVKMSO TKLBOBAPH. The United Mates Abroad. From the It union J'omL Utieral (Irani has Wn vt, with all the rest of the alvios he Is reieivluif, to select the representatives of the couulr ia Europe cbiellr from the array, ilijrel.v to express aud adverting the power of the OorernniHUt. It is not at all Strang to diei-over a gooi diplo matist nuIer a military ciat; hut that is Dot the olj't avowed, ho iuu h as it is to oover the diplomatic durnoter with the military. To follow such a rul from first choice is no particular evidence of a love for republicanism. JSut yet, after an experience like wh.tt ours Las been for a number of years, anl what it Is even now, an iufmton of more Ptient'a ami a morn decidedly national spirit into the )ody of our foreign represeuiatiou would be Iiearlily welcomed, though it took au almost diBtiuct military form. Mr. Adams distiogaiflhed himself anl hon ored his country at t. James; but what is Oeneral Din at St. Cloud f or Mr. Hale at Madrid f or Casius Clay at St. Petersburg f or a Fogg and a Judd in other courts f Our 1'oreigM Ministers are generally selected and confirmed by the Keuate on the strength of the certificate of their partisan devotion. Of the names that have been moat commonly men tioned thus far for missions abroad under the Sew administration, few or none are associated With any striking qualifications for the services implied, while all are indiscriminately urged on the ground of value to the party now domi nant. The reasons are too contemptible to be compared with the gift. If the iniluenoe of onr Government is to be distinctly felt abroad, vre mast begin by sending abler and stronger men to represent us. The United States ought to assert its own place at foreign courts as in all respeots a first-class power; and to do that, It innst assert itself through its best repre sentatives. The old-time maxims of diplo macy are loosening their hold, and a modern Spirit ia fast governing national intercourse. It is not now the greater manipulating skill, 2m t the better reason, that decides disputes sad settles differences. A representative is therefore to be selected for his character and ability, and the weight that gees with these, more than to help adjust any small pr;y balances. There is a fine opeuing for the new Presi dent in this field, lie must have the sagacity to see and the tkill to improve it. At auy rate, he will scarcely do worse in most re spects than has been done. The Government occupies a doable province, that of shaping a doinestio and a foreign policy, and the two should be harmonized. If mere olRce-hold-lug at home and office-holding abroad, is to l)e the end and aim of oar politics, anl the higher thought and will of the nation are to be compressed into the mean measures of their qualifications, then we shall everywhere lieoome the sport of nations whoe respect it Should be ours to command. Small men de base high places by having the control of them; and If they are not really, as they are nominally, representative men, the country is the sufferer for their shortcomings. If it is not so easy all at onoe to reform and de rate the character of our leading holders of Office at home, there is no great dilli ;ulty in patting the besom straight through the class which we send abroad. To notorious incom petency we need not add demagoguism. Ig norance need not be reiuforced with effrontery. Ill manners might be kept away from large deposits of representative authority. Our men at foreign courts would none the less earry with them the dignity of the republic, if they unclothed themselves of their alternate Spread-eaglism ani suppleness. Now is the time to turn a new corner, aud take a fresh start in the matter of oar repre sentative character abroad. The power and dignity of the nation should be steadily upheld at every foreign court to which we accredit a publio servant. It cannot be that ability aud accomplishments are not to be found together, that we may avail ourselves of them in carry ing on oar foreign intercourse. If we are the great nation we are fond of believing aud as serting, are there no great men left to bear us out in oar creed f Have we fallen unfortu nately upon greatness only to discover that the breed of our public men is a degeneracy f There is a general hope that the new President will so act, in answering such questions, as to develop before the world a grade of diplomatic agents that shall fitly represent the republic that so far leads the political thought of the world. The Future or the Democratic Tarty. From the If. Y. World. A party so powerful in numbers is not seriously depressed by the result of the late election. It turns its eyes hopefully to the future and counts on a great triumph four years hence. But to realize this expectation a great work must be done before the opening ot the next Presidential campaign. Within the last four years the party has increased largely in num bers; within the next four, besides adding Still further to its strength, it must accom plish certain objects which are necessary to make its success in electing a President fruit ful in results. If we had elected our candi dates this time, it would have been a compa ratively barren victory, like the election of a Democratic Governor in this State, and for the same reason. If we had elected a Demo cratic Legislature as well as Governor, we could have repealed the odiou3 liquor law, could have emancipated the city from its thraldom to Albany, have reformed the . administration of the cauils, re pealed the unjust discriminations made by the registry law, and have correoted the gerrymandering which has made it possible for the Republicans to carry the Legislature with a Democratic majority of thirty thousand in the aggregate vole of the EHate. As it is, the election of Mr. Hoffman merely gives us the check on bad legislation which belongs to the veto, but leaves us pow erless to repeal the scandalous and oppressive laws against whlou the party has so long and so vainly protested. Had we elected Mr. Sey mour rresiuem, we glioma nave been in an equally helpless position in national affairs. The Congressional districts all over the coun try have been gerrymandered by the KeDubli cans, as the Assembly districts have been in this state; and with au opposition Congress. Democratic President could have rendered no Service to the couutry except by the exeroise of his veto. All the odious laws passed by the Ramp would have stood the same as they win unaer uenerai uraut. In 1872 we do not wish to elect a President anil see him thwarted and impotent. We mast train the control of Congress, or our victory will brine no solid advantages, iiat Congress is so constituted that its politioal oomplexion cannot be suddenly cuangea, lue long terms of the Senators being the chief obstacle. This ia the reason why a great' work lies before the Demooratio party previous to the opening of the next Presidential oampaign. We have got to reoover the control of the State Legisla tes, by whom the Senators are elected, and by whom the States will be redistricted for the I choice of Congressmen after the ounsus of 1870. I The Deroocatlc party cinnot afford to re3t on its oars for a single day. If we are to r-ap ia harvest we must plough in seed-time. Four years hence, and even two yeais hence, it will be too late to revolutionize both braucties of Congress for the beginning of a new Presi dential term. r uch being the t.ibk, how shall we Set about it ? l or the present, little can be done except by the Democratic press. A great deal de pends upon the forecast and discretion of our Democratio editors. There are two systoon on which party journals may be conducted that of making converts from the oppo-itiou and that of repelling them. Either may ba judicious, according to circumstances. Wheu a party is in a majority and controls all public employments, it needs vo recruits from the opposition; and that system of tactics is beat which will most effectually maintain discipline and prevent desertions. When a party is thus Strong, it oan afford to be intolerant,, and it matters little how rudely it may shock the prejudices of opponents, so long as it pre serves the ascendancy over its adherents. !ut this system does not answer for a party that is in a minority. Such a party can suc ceed only by induoiug some of those who act with the opposition to change sides. It is then indispensable to make converts, which can be done only by such appeals as you can eet mo derate men to listen to. Those who believe that the Demooracy has a great future will be unwilling to see any Democratic paper managed as if it were trying to appropriate the assets of a bankrupt organi zation, it is not always necessary to the suc cess of a newspaper that its party should be in a majority, since the minority, in almost auy locality, may furnish subscribers enoueh to enable a journal to live. If a paper merely aims to get these subscribers instead of to build up and extend the party, it will take no pains to make proselytes, any more than the administrator of a dead man's es tate will aim to enlarge his busi ness. It puffices for this selfish object that the party does not become extinct; it is not neces sary that it should ever gain control of the Government. Hut they who have faith in the party, aud know that it oau give effect to its principles only by accessions from the other side, will regret and deprecate auy manage ment which repels aud drives away those whom it is needful to win over from the oppo sition. The Democratio party needs more than a bare majority to regain control of the State legislatures and Congressional districts. They have been gerrymandered by the Republicans: aud it is necessary to control them within the ensuing two years if we are to have a Demo cratic Congress at the beginning of the admin istration which succeeds General Grant. The most important practical problem is, how to make converts enough to accomplish this object. J he Republicans bid fair to Rive us au ex cellent liil at the ensuing session of Congress. They will probably pass a bill restricting naturalization to the Federal courts, aud pro- poe au amendment to the Constitution for transferring the regulation of the suffrage to the Federal Government. Nothing could be more opportune for the Democratic party than the presentation of so important an issue close upon the heelsof the Presidential election. It will agitate the whole country; it is an issue on which there will be no shade of difference in the Democratio ranks; and, best of all, it is an Issue which is certain to bring nsho3ts of recruits. All that portion of our naturalized citizens who have acted with the Renablicau party on other questions will unite with the Democracy ou this, as the blow is aimed at the lights of citizens ot foreigu birth. A conside rable part of those Republicans who, in late elections, have voted agaiuat negro suffrage in their own States will also be persuaded to act with us on this question, if we do not need lessly shock their prejudices in other respeots. In a change of party relations, it is the first Btep that cets; and we shall be fortunate in having an issue which will enable us to detach from the Republicans, before Grant's inaugu ration, a large number of those who voted for him. The Democratio press needs to be very alert in watching the movements and seizing on the mistakes ot the Republican party. Hundreds of thousands of honeBt men voted for Grant in the late election with great reluctance and many misgivings. This class of Republicans supply a hopelu recruiting ground for the Democratic party. Congress is pretty oertain to furnish a new crop of financial absurdities this winter, and if we can get one or two new iesues well started for next year's elections, we shall easily make great gains, and lay the foundation for signal suocess in recovering the State Legislatures and electing a new Con gress. There is no reason to fear that staunch Democrats, who have stood the brunt of the last eight years' fighting, will desert the party now. On that side there is no danger; so that the gieat business of the Democratio press, for the next two years, is to make proselytes from the opposition, if any Democrats think the paity is strong enough already, the World uoes not agree witn litem. The Vultures Feast. from the??. Y. Tribune. ihe l'orty-first Congress reassembles next Monday, and already we have ample preinoni tions that this, though its short session, will be a bujy one. There is lunch work that cannot be pontponed; the resumption of specie pajments, for example; but there ii much more that will have to be done, unless the Treasury is to be swamped aud the national honor tarnished. ' The Government is poor, and must for some years continue so. The abolition, laat sesstou, 01 uiree-iourius ot the internal taxes has re duced the currt-ut income below the actual necessities of the Treasury. If the remaining imposts could be fully collected, we shoul i still le solvent; but at least half the money that should be received weekly from the ex cise on liquors and tobacco is stolen by reve nue officers, iu collusion with certain manu facturers. We hope this enormous leak will be stopped soon after G?ueial Grant's inaugu ration as President; but nothing cau be real ized from this source till after this Congress thall have expired; aud thus the Treasury must remain poor for a full year to come. And yet the clever fellows who want to get rich by the aid of appropriations have no more mercy on ui thau if the national debt were a fiction, the greenbacks represented cah in hand instead of debt incurred, and the Trea sury were bursting with superfluous gold. The Engineer Department wants ten or twelve millions for fortiflcatious, while the Ordnance Bureau would like as much more wherewith to arm them. Rivers auJLharbors hold op their dish capacious and etdpty as usual; and then come the overland railroads (whose name is legion), with their urgent demands that more and still more lauds be conceded and bonds be issued, until prudence stands aghast and bankruptcy stares us grimly in the face. Mow we believe in the railroads, and in kindred works generally. We hold that the country is not impoverished, but is really en riched by them that even the Treasury receives therefrom more than it pays. Take the proposed Northern Paolflo Railroad, and suppose that thirty millions in money aud twenty millions of aores of public lauds were granted to secure iu completion within the next ten years, we bold that our remainiui; public lands would be worth far in ro, wumher to the Government or to the settlers, thau t'ie whole would be without the road, aa I that the thirty millions of dollars would be paid into the Treasury because of the new settUineuts and extra consumption of tax-paying products which that road would insure. Having thus admitted the whole case net up for these great and beneficent undertaking, we most earnestly protest against the ext-n-sion of Government aid to thein at pren-nt, simply because such muuillcence I not et iu order. We must vindicate the right "f the nation to be credited b-fore we leml any more credit. One railroad to the Parlici is so far advanced that it must be put throngh-forth-with; all other, and all kindred enterprises, mtift await the resumption of ppeiiie, payments and the funding of our national debt at a lower rate of interest than Bix per cent. When, by a faithful collection of the Federal taxes and a vigorous retrenchment of the national expenditures, we shall have reduced our finances too'der, created a surplus of five to ten millions per month to be applied to the reduction of our national debt, and made the ruaiket for Federal bonds so brisk and eager that a few millions more will be caught up with avidity, then we may think of euteriug upon the construction, by national subsidies, of more Pacific Railroads and kindred works on this side of the Rocky Mountains. Of course, it will be urged thtt issuing a ftw more bond, to help this or that laudable enterprise, will not make much difference; but the plea is fallacious. We cannot help one new road without helping others probably several others; and we could not issue even one new batch of bonds without weakening the national credit and putting off the day of resumption. We glory in enterprise; but it must not take precedence of honesty. We shall in time have at least three separate railroads to the Pacifio, with many branches; and the Government will help construct them but not very soon. We are not able to do it at present, and may not be for some years yet. "Mr. Jerrold," asked a needy London Bohe mian of the creator of Mrs. Caudle, "have you confidence enough in me to lend me a guinea ?" "Plenty of confidence, my dear fellow," responded Douglas, "but ne'er a guinea." Uncle Sam is in that same pre dicament just now, and his legislators mast realize it. The Capitulation of Keverdy Johnson to England. From the XT. Y. Herald. So far as at present appears, the mission of Reverdy Johnson to Eoglaud has resulted in a capitulation which, we feel confident, the people of the United States can never endorse. It seems that, according to the terms to which Mr. Johnson has agreed, there is to be no ex pression of opinion as to the crucial question of the whole controversy whether the British Government was right or wrong in its recogni tion of the claims of the Southern Confederacy as a belligerent power. Mr. Johnson has weaKly consented 10 reduce all to a simple. miserable iiu-stion of dollars and cents. At the same time the London journals are full of compla'nts from British shipowners. who profess to be utterly dissatisfied with the Alabama treaty. This, however, is but part of a blutt game, and it will not succeed in bhud iug the American publio to its true interests in ihe case. England must, sooner or latter, make up its mind as to whether it was right or wrong in its recognition of the belligerent claims of the (so-called) Southern Confede racy during our late civil war. If it insist upon bavirg been in the right it must be pre pared to learn, on the very next occasion we have to teach them the lesson, that we have the right to recognize the belligerent claims of Fenian invaders, either of Canada or of Ireland, and that we are ready and not indis posed to exercise it. The Treasury Fancies. From the Cincinnati Gazette. Mr. McCulloch made the practice of leaving a large surplus deposited in banks at a time wheu he was borrowing money. We have several times referred to this unaooountable feature of his policy, and have argued that no such surplus was needed in the legitimate operations of the Treasury, and that it should be used to save interest. The Treasury lunds so deposited went into the circulation, aud thus kept up the inflation of the currency at a time when contraction was the ostensible policy of the Secretary, and when their retention in the Treasury would have been so much progress on the only road to specie payment. Besides these, there was the evil of favor itism, which is inseparable from the system of depositing the publio money in banks. We have at various times argued against carrying so large a surplus, and against this method of neutralizing the indispensable con traction, and against the whole system of de positing iu banks. But all violent changes are to be avoided. In this we differ radically with Mr. McCulloch, who seems to think that these thocks bring healthy action, and that a monetary crisis is a touia. The order which Le Las jnst issued, that all internal revenue dues shall be deposited in the Sub-Treasnries, is a most untimely and violent way of doing a thing which, if properly done, is right. The country is in a monetary crisis, who3e causes we need nut more than allude to. A large decline in produce has brought heavy losses upon dealers, and hss greatly checked the deliveries by the producers. Thus the new crop fails to fetch the money into the chauntls of trade, and this is inert. Trade debts are not being ail, and traders are straining their credit to carry along. This decline in produce has been enhanced by Mr. McCulloch's operations to depress the price of gold, under the strange delusion that this raises the publio credit, while it only takes so much off the export price of produce, and thns edds to the general depression, aud Stim ulates the export of the cheapened gold. Tills unfavorable state of things was aggra vated l y a gigantic stock-gambling operation, which locked up some fifteen or twenty mil lions of money, so as to depress the price of stocks. This created a stringency whioh was felt in all monetary affairs anl in every branch of trade. Mr. McCulloch has given cut that he was resolved to relieve this strin gency by reissuing the three per oent. and the forty-five millions of contracted green backs; but, ou the contrary, he appears to Lave continued to augment the pressure by selling gold and locking up greenbacks. Thai, the currenoy balance at the New York Sub-Treasury last Saturday, Nov. 27th, was Ski,!i.m;,C12, being an increase in two weeks of 7,73,111. This seems a strange way to ease the money market. And with such a currency surplus in the Treasury, of which two-thirds might be spared to buy in some of the public secu rities, and thus return the currenoy to the circulation, the resolution to reissue forty five millions of greenbacks which had been contracted iu order to approach specie pay ment was still stranger. And now, on top of all tils, we have this order to place the cur rent receipts for revenue in the Sub-Treasu ries, which cannot but Intensify the monetary pressure. A rifcht system can be introduced by auoh a dututLauce as will wake it oppresslvettni odious. All changes that will atTnot tin volume of currency or of bunk iredit siioul l lie made wiih great oautiou and hy a grt iii il process. The preseut ts no lime to iriu this change upon the c niu'.ry, u r is tins t in way to do it. And unless the object hi t withdraw currency from the ch tuu-U of business for the sake of coutractii.g the cur rency, the change from depositing ilie, public money in banks to the holding of it iu the sub-treasuries ehould be preceded by a re duction of the enormoiia srrplus. The Tr.asury dois not need a carrenay sur plus of even ten millions tor a working bal ance for all its legitimate operation. Its great surplus has beii carried for effects upon the money market, which have all turned out disBftious. The couutry lias been made to pay a Very large snm in interest ou debt which it had the' money to pay; it bat hi its Tnasury gold sold at a sacrifice of many mil lions iu premium, aud it has been largely mulcted by the purchase and sale of its secu rities by the Treasury; all for illegitimate ope rations upon the money market and npiu the values of property. The first and most im perative financial need is a restoration of the Treasury Department to its legitimate business. Y. Y. P. Y. P. TOITMO" PI'ltR MALT WHISHT.
