Johnson's Forgctlulness.
from the T. r. Tribune.
l'reeidViit Johnson Beems not to have heard
f the election of Grant, aud ia stamping Con
jreBH in favor of Seymour. He repeats in his
Ue688ge the laDgnage of tbe Duiocratio plat
form, that there is 110 rearou why "those who
JUjfend us on the laui and pioteut us on the
ea," the pensioner, the public servants, the
armers, the mechanics, artirians, etc, should
to paid in depreciated ourrenoj, while the
bondholders are paid in gold.
It is the payment of coin Interest on our
liouda which has preserved the national credit,
and bo tuade the greenbacks worth what they
are. Without coin interest on the bou la oar
credit would be much lower and our currency
nearly worthless. Bat there is another dilTr
eLce between the bondholder and all the other
classes mentioned. The rate of interest on the
loud has never been increased. On the con
traiy, when our currency depreciated, in order
to compensate the depreciation the wages
of the soldier were raised l' per cent., which is
more than the average and twice the present
depreciation. The pensions were fixed after
the depreciation and adapted to it. Some of
the salaries of public servants have been raised,
and some have not, but not the first officer of
the Government has yet suffered from poverty,
or retired from his position because the salary
was too f mall, or evinced a desire to exchange
iiis place for the risks and remunerations of
private business. On the whole, our oilicers
of the Government, in a pecuniary sense, are
at the average doing remarkably well.
Farmers' prices have doubled and tripled in
the depreciated currency, and the agricultu
ral classes have never made as much money
at the average as in this very currency. So
of mechanics and artisans. The demand for
labor has for eight years been steady, abun
dant, and remunerative. Especially the me
chanics and artisans in the employ of the
Government, who are getting ten hoars'
Wages for eight hours' work, are receiving in
gold values about twice as much as they ever
received under a specie currency. The inde
struotibility of error seems to be shown in the
fact that this wretched fugitive blunder, after
being hunted down in the l'residential cam
paign, has taken refuge in the President's
Jlessage.
Concentration of Wealth.
'Prom the If. Y. Times.
Haron Rothschild is reported to have died
vorth four hundred millions of dollars, and
jreatly regretted by the poor of the neighbor
hood where he lived.
The first fact is an overwhelming proof of
the tendencies of modern civilization towards
concentration; for, if we mistake not, this
enormous fortune is the growth of but three
generations. This tendency to concentration
is evident in the alarming growth of our great
cities both in this country and in Europe.
London increased in the decade from 1851 to
3801 some half a million souls (440,000)
equal to a city like Philadelphia. The great
increase of onr cities is not accounted for by
the increase of the whole country, but is
caused by the same tendencies which are at
work in the Old World.
Dot only is this tendency evident in these
great cities, but it is found in all departments
of manufacture and trade. To-day and with
us it is strikingly apparent in such bazaars as
Stewart's and Clallin's. Already under these
two roofs, which cover one to two acres each,
aro gathered all that pertains to the dress of
men and women, all fabrics for household
ases, and many other articles. Thus a retail
dealer may here select a complete stock, may
have it packed and shipped without wetting
the soles of his shoes.
There is no reason why this class of mer
chants shall not or do not undersell all smaller
ones. They buy larger quantities, they con
trol mills, they do their business with one
$et of experienced men, and they can under
sell others even if they do not.
Now all mankind will buy where they can
buy cheapest, and there is no reason to doubt
but that such establishments as these, in
another generation of thirty years, will swal
low up all the smaller ones. It is inevitable.
And why not f If the great end and purpose
of life is to buy cheap aud sell dear, why not f
Beoause the great end and aim of life is not to
bay cheap and sell dear, but is to so organize
society that it shall perfect the bodily and
spiritual welfare of the race, and insure com
fort and happiness to men. Will this vast
aggregation of business aud wealth in a few
hands secure this ? It is evident that it will
not, unless along with the rights of wealth go
the duties of wealth.
We hear a rumor that some of oar great
capitalists propose to erect, near their wonder
ful establishments, perfect and complete
houses for their clerks aud workman, supplied
with every convenience, to be furnished at the
smallest cost. There will be reading rooms,
rooms for games aud for exercise, a good pub
lic table, a cooperative laundry, bath-houses,
etc.
We venture to hope that this is true, and
that our millionaires propose to use their
money as well as to get it, and thus to mark
the civilization of the New World by a benefi
cent use of wealth, and not by its vulgar dis-
P 7'
How Sliall Women be Tried I
from the if. Y. Timet.
The singular activity displayed by certain
good ladies of New York in the case of Hester
Vaugnan, condemned for iuiauticide, in renn
sylvania, baa not been accounted for. Gov
ernor Geary assured them that their cervices
were not and had not been needed to induce
him to act with justice and mercy. But the
preamble to the resolutions passed at the
meeting; at Cooper institute may seem to ex
plain it. The preamble sets forth the justice
and necessity of woman being tried by her
peer$, that is, woman must he tried by woman.
In this day, when the hard facts of life seem
to be crowding large numbers of women to the
wall, and they are looking with frightened
eyes for protection and help, it may be asked,
'Will this help them f" It may be well for us
Sot to lose sight of a great fact, as old as human
nature, and ordained lor some wlHe purpose,
we have always supposed viz., that woman
being by nature weaker in body than man,
man. the Btroneer.ts inspireu wun acertamde
Bire to proteot and defend the weaker; and out
of this has crown the old feeling of chivalry
and the modern sentiment of deference. We
have always supposed that these were God-
Inspired, and therefore not to be lightly under
mined or destroyed. We come sow to another
faot, the direot offspring of this wise and subtle
Instinct; it is that man's judgments of woman
have been more merciful than woman's judg
ments 01 woman, wnne woman's oondemna
tion of man has been less savage than man's
If this be so, we may venture to suggest
that woman will gain nothing by being tried
by woman, but me reverse, we may ven
ture to doubt the wisdom of the preamble; we
may venture to suggest that if woman innists
Pfoa dicing the dreary lublaeBS of sitting .on
Juries, she shall sit on men, and so seoure I
them a greater measure of kindness than they I
now get from their fellow-jurors.
Spain.
From the If. Y. Herald.
It is now manifest that Spain is in great
trouble. The revolutionary leaders are now
seen in their true characters. Trim, Berrano,
and the others are now rather the men we
thought them before the revolution than the
men they seemed to be in the first flush of
revolutionary success. A couple of months
ago Spain hailed them as liberators. How
bpaiu regards them as traitors, or as men
who are miserably incompetent. Rumor has
it that the elections which were fixed for the
middle of this month are not to take plaoe till
towards the middle of January, and that in
coupeijiieiice the Cortes will not meet until
February is far advanced. It is now difficult to
mint the conviction that the revolutionary
leaders ore hampered by pledges which they
lied it impossible to redeem. Moutpenjier
bade a good figure; so no doubt did I-apoleon;
but the people, who seem resolved to have
their way, who know nothing of pledges, are a
lar both to Montpensier aud Napoleouio plans.
Judging from late nws, the republican senti
ment is growing. We kuow it is strong in
the southern provinces, buch heaitatiou as is
now manifested by the provisional government
can have no other effect than to baud the peo
ple together and to inspire them with a oom
mon republican sentiment. The revolutionary
tide, if we are to judge from recoided facts, is
too ttroDg to be controlled, and it seems to be
the determination of the Government to save
themselves and to get rid of their pledged by
allowing events to take their course.
Count Uismtirk nnd the 1'cacc of Europe.
Fi om the N. Y. Herald.
Count Bismark has returned to Berlin. One
of our latest cable despatches informs us that
almost immediately alter his return he took
occasion to meet the Ambassadors of France,
England, and Russia, when he expressed his
conviction that there was no reason to appre
hend a disruption of the friendly relations
now subsisting among the different European
powers. This is very well for Count Bismark.
All the world knows he does not want war,
but all the world knows he is ready for war,
and that the nation or which he is real chief is
armed to the teeth aud ready for any emer
gency. The titnatioa of Europe is far from
satisfactory. INo one Knows better than Count
Bismark that war is a possibility which might
become a reality at any moment. Who can
say that a war, European in its dimensions,
maynot yet spring from this Spanish revolu
tion? Who does not know that at the
present moment the question of peace or war,
as between Turkey aud Grtece, is hanging in
the balance 1 Who dons not know that the
fc-chleswig-llolstein question is still unsettled,
and that provocation is only wanted on either
side to make this a caxus built between rrussia
and France? If anybody else is ignorant,
Count Bismark is not, that 1'nnce Charles of
Roumania has been forced, much against his
will, to maintain peaceful relations with the
Ottoman Forte. With all these questions
still unsettled, with all these facts before us,
we have a perfect right to treat with levity
Count Bismaik's assuiances of peace. War
might, but it might not, be a gain to Prussia.
1 eace will be a gain beyond all chance of
questioning. South Germany requires but
time to gravitate towards the great German
centre, lime will accomplish Count Bis-
mark's purposes. War might do it, but it
might not. The Count, like a wise man, pre
fers the certain to the uncertain, lie is not
unwilling to fight, if to fight be necessary; bat
he prefers to wait and allow peace and time to
settle the question.
The I'orreucy Question.
From the Chicago Jiepub.icati.
W e are glad that the session of the so-called
National Board of Trade has been held at this
juncture at Cincinnati, and there would have
resulted one advantage to the publio in giving
its loose discussions much more wide
dissemination and publication even than
the liberal space accorded them by the press.
And this, not because they reached
anything, and did anythin but be
cause they made about the same progress as
a horse that should take half-a-dozen turns
round a bark mill. And this is timely in its
suggestiveness just now when Congress is
coming in session. It should tend to create
among the people more patience with their
representatives, and a better temper at the
delays that must be borne before we worry
through to any solution of our ourrenoy
perplexities. We venture the opinion
that every one of the fluent and ready
speakers at Cincinnati has been fond of
calling himself a practical business man,
and by inference and by direct assertion giving
the people abundant sympathies that the
number of praotical business men has been
so lightly drawn upon for our national law
makers. We could settle this whole subject
with a Congress made up of businezs men,
has been said so many times, in all parts of
the country, that it is instructive, if not en
tirely satisfactory, to disoover how illy these
gentlemen sgree when their views oonie to he
compared in a publio gathering of their own
class. And this is not a reflection on their
general sagacity or their thorough earnest
lues. It is simply saying that they squabbled
like a bevy of new and old sohool physioians
over a doubtful case in therapeutics, bela
bored one another with their pill-machines
and clyster-pumps, and left the sick man
just where he was. What reason is there
to believe that the same diversity of views
and the came inconclusive results would
not have followed, if all this had been
matter for the Cunyresswnal Ulobe to print
at Government expense ? We doubt whether
any policy upon which twenty of the most
solid and successful financiers of the
conntry conld agree, as a solution of our
currency dilnoulties, would not be laboriously
confuted by a like number of equally solid
and suocessiui nnanciers; and the chances are
lli.f ilm ftt.lflr.'b ttr n.rtv vaiiU Kd una A r0...3
eo much easier is it to pull down than to build"
np. By this we do not mean that currency
discussion oan ao no good, in or out ol (Jon
cress, but to bring up the fresh proof of the
wide diversity of views prevailing on the
whole subject, and how likely it is that any
enre oan be speedy when a decision is so
difficult as to what cure is needed. There are
several of onr brethren of the press who can
safely take the moral home to themselves.
By all means let them go on with their
learned aud pronx luoubrations, but let them
not get ill-tempered at postponement of their
adoption as national policy, since we can see
that what, is a middle with Congress is equally
so with the National Board of Trade, and with
editors learned in finance these opinions re
sembling the zebra's stripes in the showman's
advertisement "no two alike."
Tiie Com in? l'eacc.
From the If. Y. World,
"Troops," eays a rant, heading the pack
"The troops on the Flains are all needed
troops are still needed in the Southern
Ptates." ''TroopB.'says Sherman. The In
dians mnst be reservationed. and this "de
sired result can only be obtained by co
ercion." ' Troops," says lirevet Malor-Gene
ral Lftvis, fioiu Alaska, and dwells on "the
Heedlessness of a civil government fr the 1
Territory at present." "Troops," says Bre
vet Major-Genral Ord, from Arizona; "au
Inorease of the force, wl'h a view to rr.ore
energetto operations Against the Apaches
the worst of all Indians Is recommended
by tbe division commander, who ppeaki
highly of the agricultural capacity of the Ter
ritory." Ah I he does, does he ? Then let
him grow his crop of armed men on that
fruitlul soil. "Troop',' says Thomas, from
Department of the Cumberland; "no improve
ment in tbe state of public and social affaira,"
aud "the necessity for th piesenoe of troops
In as great as heretofore.." "Troops," say
btonemun, from Virginia; but then, for a
wonder, he wants no ui-re. finding "twj regi
ments of infantry and one company of artil
lery" quite sufficient for the birthplace aud
totub 01 Washiugtou. "Troops," ories Meade,
from the consolidated .Second and Third Mili
tary Ilistriot?; "more power." I want my
military finger in the civil pie. "Troops,"
says Reynolds, from Texas, who found it
necessary for reconstruction purposes "to
withdraw troops from the frontier posts 'to
such an extent as to impair their efficiency for
protection against the Indians.' " Of ooarse,
perish the settlers, so that reconstruction live.
"Troops, troops, troops," almost every
man-jack ainorg them is crying, from Let-us-have-peace
down, all save Hrevet M,jor-Genn-ral
Alvau C. Gillem, who writes: "The civil
courts have continued to dispense justice,
under the supervision of the military authori
ties, and there has been no necessity for the
nse of the troops sta'.loned in the State 1"
This State is Mississippi; Mississippi is not
reconstructed, neither reconstructing, aul,
therefore, has no use for troops.
This is the bright exception, hrery where
else there comes up a roar for soldiery. Grant
heads it and secretary bohoheld clans his
hemi-demi-semiquaver to its tail. There is
"unusual disposition to lawlessness and
crime and comparative inefficiency of civil
government in tho.se States," says he those
reconstructed States, those successfully re
constructed States and "the only laws of
Congress providing for the employment of the
military force of the United States in support
of the government of any State were passed
in the infancy of the republic" for a won
der, he didn't get it nation "with a jealous
care to avoid undue interference by the Na
tional iiovernmeut in State affairs, and not
designed for such a condition of society as
now exists in the Southern States." All of
which weans "troops," and so the song, which
began with "troops, troops, troops," winds up
with "troops, troops, troops."
And this is Let us have peace 1
Will He Never Have Done J
From "Brick'' I'omeroy'a N. Y. Democrat.
That garrulous old nincompoop who is mis
representing this country at the British court
still keeps making his silly and unwarranted
speeches. He is travelling from place to place
spouting his ridiculous twaddle at every op
portunity. In his latest speech made the
other day at Brighton, he modified his tone a
little, but still persists in making himself a
partisan in politics, in addressing a British
audience. In one of his earlier speeches, he
asserted, unqualifiedly, that the abolition of
slavery was ample compensation for all the
blood and treasure expended in the war.
Now he draws it a little more mildly, aud he
puts it on a somewhat different footing. He
says:
But the war Is over, and what have we ac
complished? We biwe Hccornpltxhed that
which, independent of the blood taut tans been
spilt, almoHl compensates uh, If It Uoes not
more man rmuponaaie lis, tor the treasure we
have lost. We have etiown to the world that
our Government pobsessca an inherent power
which is aiti quute, hd1 will continue to be ade
quate in all time to come, not only to protect
itself against foreign iuvusion, out, however
drtadful it may be, against any domestic in
suirection. "
The meaning of thi3 is, that we are compen
sated for the treasure if not the blood ex
pended in the late war, by showing the ability
of onr Government to .destroy itself as a con
stitutional system, and crush the liberties of
the people. Oar fathers thought that the
blood and treasure which it cost them to win
those liberties and establish that government
were well expended; and now this degenerate
citizen officially representing oar country
abroad assures a foreign people that the de
struction of what it cost the men of the
Revolution so many saorifioes to secure is a
boon worth infinitely more, and compensates
for expenditures a hundred times greater.
No man ever made a more pitiable spectacle
of himself, or more disgraced his country,
than this miserable old flunky in his series of
performances before the British public.
