THE DAlLi EVENING TELEGKAPH PIHLADELPIIIA, MONDAY, DECEMBER 11, 18G8. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS, feDITORTAL OPINIONS OF THB LEADING JOURNALS UPON CDBHBNT TOPICS COMPILED BVEBT DAT FOB THB ETENINQ TELEORAFB. Ignorance or Wickedness. fromlheN. Y. Times. Tbe question la Bald to be debatable, whether fhat portion of the President's message whioh liiscuf scs the pa j merit of the national debt ia the prodnct of iguorance or dishonesty. Either conjecture may be upheld with a certain de gree oi probability. The details of the argu ment if bo it may be called evince a oon tempt for the accuracy of liunnuial statement Which is only explainable on the ground of Ignorance. When, for example, Mr. Johnson declares that "the consideration whioh the Government has actually received for its lionds" "was in real money 300 or 400 per cent. less than the obligations which it issued In return," he talks nonsense. What he in tended to say we may imagine. He meant, we Suppose, that the obligations issued by the (Jov emuifciit are SUO or 4oO per cent, in excess of the coin received therefor which, ttiough a ialse statement, would not be absurd; whereas the literal meaning of what he does say is, that the Government received for its bonds 1100 or 300 per cent. leBS than nothing t Other features of the proposition are scarcely leas crude, the general impression they produoe lieing discreditable to the intelligence and Sense of their author. Mere ignorance and absurdity, however, form an inadequate explanation of the Presi dent's course. The blunder of his statement Tenders him ridiculous, but its import is suf ficiently coherent to convict him of a total Tvant of moral principle. Precisely how he desires to go about the robbery we are left to guess, but that he deliberately intends t com mit robbery cannot be doubted. The World, in an apologetrc way, explains that he designs "to treat the debt, not alter the manner ot a court of law enforcing the strict construction of a contract, but after the manner of a court of equity aiming to do substantial justice." This is the ordinary cant of the Democratic repudiators. They don't propose robbery, forsootU; they simply want equity. So Mr. l'eudieton Las all along declared. So the Democratio Convention declared last Jaly. And doubtless Mr. Johnson will be glad to avail himself of the World's friendly ex planation. The fact remains, however, that Mr. Johnson has gone ahead of Mr. Pendleton and the Democracy. They were willing to pay interest iu coin because the bonds so stipulate; they ineisted only that the priuoipal le paid in greenbacks. He, on the other Land, proposes to stop the interest altogether, and to use the amount semi-annually in liqui dation of the principal 1 This is what the World designates "substantial justice," but What Mr. Schenck more truly characterizes as "the most gross, shameless, infamous propo sition to repudiate the debt" that we have "ever yet known to be put forth from any quarter." But the intent ? Mr. Johnson cannot have believed that his suggestion woul l under any circumstances be adopted. He is not bo stupid as to have fabcied that his words could be in terpreted otherwise than as a recommenda tion of robbery. We must conclude, there fore, that in his determination to renew his quarrel with Congress, and to punish the Kepublicau party lor its rejection of him and Li3 policy, he resolved to be as mischievous as possible. Foiled in regard to reconstruc tion, he has made up his mind to try Lis hand as repudiator. SiDce he cannot rule the coun try, lie is prepared to damage it, if he can. And by no method can he more effectively create embarrassment, and multiply the dif ficulties which block the path to financial relief, than by tarnishing the public credit Willi the foul breath of repudiation. The belief that Mr. Johnson's aim is to damage the public credit is strengthened by the concurrent attack of his Secretary of the Treasury upon the greenback currency. Mr. Johnson assails the debt; Mr. McCulloch assails the legal-tender notes. One Beaks Llauk repudiation; the other greenback depre ciation. In a certain sense, the two proposi tions run tide by side. Their tendency, if in any manner operative, is to damage the na tii nal credit. The message, however, ha3 overshot the mark. Instead of injuring the publio credit, it has simply disgusted all men with Mr. John eon. The only repudiation he will witness will be the repudiation of himself and his Scbenits; and the country will have reason to thank Providence for the deliverance. If. U. as Envoy to England. From the AT. Y. World. We really begin to believe that n. G. means to leave us. Not, of course, for that Lourne from whioh no traveller returns; for "the good man," Caliimschus tells us, "never dies;" and if II. G. be not a good man, thare are neither snakes in Virginia, Copperheads In New York, blockheads iu the Loyal League, nor Ku-Ktux in Tennessee. But we believe that II. G., knowing himself to bean honest man, and likely therefore to command confi dence, has agreed "to lie abroad for the good Of the commonwealth." .Sinners have en ticed him and he has consented to them, lid lias accepted the post of American Kuvoy at the Court of M. James. Was this the object of the wily people who persuaded our philoso pher to brvak'ast on lil let of beef and to moke a matutinal cigar the other day at Delnionit-o's with the President elect 1 We do not pretend to know. l!ut the T ribune of late ha3 been full of signs and wonders, all pointing one way, and evidently intended to prepare the publio mind for the appeal ance of the sage of Cuap paqua in the rAe. of an ambassalor. Ohm of these, for instance, was the ppeech of II. G. himself, delivered at the meeting recently held in this city to secure the pardon of liester Vaughan. Those who know how ardent a philogynist II. G. is, and how forcibly it was Lis wont in former days to declaim against the gallows, must have been surprised at the gingerly and guarded way in which he E leaded at that meeting for mercy to the apices Hester. Not one of the Capital Let ters which he has at his oommand for all the ordinary contingencies of life and of politics did he order up and hurl against this gross abuse of Capital Punishment. He seemed to le sullering under a positive oonstipation of adjectives, Lever bo much as intimated that Le thought hanging the poorest use to whioh a womau could be put had nothing to say about the "vrllany" of anybody ooucernad in the matter, and wouud up, after a singularly Lrief harangue, by remarking that "he did not think it wise to say any more." All this, from the stand-point of H. G.'a past career, was unaccountable enough. But the moment that we consider him in the light of a Back ing diplomatist the thing become perfectly clear. He was simply practising himself in the great diplomatic art of "how not to say it." The vicious vituperation'orReverdy Johnson "with which the Tribune has of late so cou Stantly teemed ia another symptom of the truth. II. G. aud John Bright, yoa see, have made a little joint arrangement for the pur pose of, reaping where Mr. Seward and Loid Stanley have been sowing. The snubbed and I unappreciated junior partner of the former I political firm of Weea, Seward, and Greeley, seems to have his revenge at last on hia de- ; ceitful and greedy seniors. To take away with himself the credit and glory of settling the Alabama claims will be the best imagin able way of vexing the subtle and selfish soul of Seward, and will Bend that venerable statesman back to Auburn in a more dismal and crabbed dejection than when he returned from Chicago in 18G0 as the great unnomi sated. Still another symptom, and one of the most decisive, is the enthusiastic zeal which the Ttibune has displayed for the sucoess of Mr. Gladstone in the recent EnglUh eleotions. On certain days, indeed, it has been really difficult to decide whether the Tribune was an Ameri can radical newspaper edited in London, or an Knglish Liberal newspaper edited iu New York. And what but the approaching presen tation of II. G. at the British Court cau ex plain the extraordinary assertion which the Tribune has just made that Admiral Farragut found all the rights of American citizens re ppected in Great Britain; or its not less extraordinary proposition (extraordinary, we mean, as coming from such a source) that the President of the Fenian Congress is not a proper person to be Bent as American Consul to Leeds ? We repeat, the thing is settled. II. G. is to be our next representative at the Court of Queen Victoria. Aud, after all, why not f It is true that II. G. has already made one experiment at diplomacy with no very bril liant results. But he went as envoy to meet the Confederate commissioners at Niagara without proper credentials, and there are abundant reasons for believing that if Mr. Lincoln would only have accredited him with full powers to the government of Jefferson Davis the day after the first battle of Bull Run, we should have had peace at once and at any price. Moreover, as envoy to the British Court at this particular time, II. G. will not be called upon to do much more than ia expected of those valuable young men who are invited to evening parties for the purpose of diffusing a genial air through the assembly by "standing around and smiling." lie will ilnd all the knotty questions at issue between the countries quite disentangled, and, after setting his seal to the work of his predecessors, nothing prac tically will remain for him to do but to write evasive letters, to Geo. F. Train, to give good dinners and eat them, to dress well, to dance occasionally with the Princess of Wales and other youDg ladies of rank, to make agricultu ral Bpeeches in the rural districts aud commer cial speeches at the Lord Mayor's banquets, to quote Shakespeare and the laws of Saxon Altred, to weep on the tombs of "a common ancestry," and generally to make himself literary, poetical, and agreeable. Is there one ol these duties to whioh II. G. can justly be considered incompetent? It may possibly be thought that the great breeches question wi 1 trouble him. But, iu the first place, it has already been settled by her Majesty's chamberlain that if the Ameri can Minister chooses to come to court in a ehort-waisted blue coat with brass buttons, a red and white striped waistcoat, and nankeen trowsers riding high up his republican legs, with a ilufly white hat set far back upon Ins manly brow, and a green cotton umbrella tucked under his resistless arm, everybody will be delighted to see him. And, in the Fecond place, the chances all are that U. G., when he gets to England, will insist on wearing a court suit of uncut velvet, or at the very least an embroidered uniform. Now that the Quaker John Bright is about to appear at the levees of his sovereign in the blue and silver of a cabinet minister, we may depend upon it that U. G. will rejoice to prove Limeelf also to have a soul above buttons. In our opinion, he has been all his life-long mis understood in this matter of costume. We believe him to be a real clothes-philosopher, who has dressed himself not from a mere sense of duty, but with a just ivathetio eye to moral effects and social iulluenoes. Such a man, if sent to the King of the Feejee Islands, would need no carpet-bag; while if Bent to the Queen of Great Britain, we may depend upon it that he will tax the genius of Poole to its utmost stretch of inventive ingenuity to make him "beautiful forever." Bless him let him go I The Spanish I!evolntiou. From die N. Y. Berali. Our latest news from Europe regarding the revolution in Spain shows that that country is no exception to the general rule. Revolutions have their peculiarities one and all, but it is wonderful how like the one is the other. On this continent we have a sharp way of set tling what Europe calls a revolution; but then we are a new people, and new people have new ways. On the other side it is curious to notice liow old-fashioned all their ways are The Spanish revolution is the first thinir of the kind which has happened in Europe since our four years' struggle. Spain began well; but, so far as we can judge from present appear ances, Spain is away back in the sixteenth century, and has yet all essential lessons to learn. She wants men; she wants everything. One conclusion at least seems to be fair Spain is to be left to work out her own des tiny. It maybe a long work; it may be a short woik. Who can tell which f This at least Eetms just no one is disposed to meddle with her; and, as was the case with the great revolutions in England and iu France, Spaiu is very likely to be allowed to work out her own destiny. If Spain makes a bungle of it, the lault will be her own. Onoral (Jrant and the Se ven Traitors. From the Jf. Y. Herald. A radical organ and a sort of Johneon-con-Eervative-half-way-Doolittle Republican organ have been debating the important question whether the appointment of Senator Doolittle to a place in General Grant's Cabinet would be a proper thing, and from the weight of the argument against him we infer that Doolittle is dished, and that henceforth his fortunes are identified with the firm of Johnson, Doo little and Dixon and the Philadelphia John son Convention of 18IJD. Bat what of the seven Republican traitors, so called, who voted for Andy Johnson's acquittal, inolading Fes Feuden and Trumbull? What if General Grant should appoint one of these men to his Cabinet ? He is peii'ectly free to do bo. He is under no bonds against them. He is not in any way foresworn to the radicals. He is, in fact, a conservative, aud it is quite possible that he may think Fessenden or Trumbull the right niau for the Treasury or Attorney General. Such au appointment, moreover, would fix the status of the new administration on a Fouuc), conservative basis; and, sooner or later, it will come to this complexion, if we are not mistaken in the leanings of General Grant. The Man Who Flrt Aoiuiualed tirauU From tA Jf. Y. Tribune. The man who first nominated Oeneral Grant for tbe Presidency is coming out beau tiful. He is quite u umerous, and co-extensive with this great and glorious country in which it is our privilege to live. His simultaneous appearance in every State of the Union, and the rapidity with whioh he replenishes his ppeoies, justly excite our wonder and admira tion. We cannot have too niuoh of a being so far-sighted aud prophetic. The man who first nominate! Grant was born in Texas, of poor but disreputable Earentp; he was also born in Milne, and drew is first breath among the orange trees of Florida; he is a native of Vermont, and first saw the light in the picturesque valleys of Virginia; Ohio may proudly claim him as her Bon, and at the time of his birth his rich but respectable progenitors resided in Cattaraugus county, New York; he is a staple production of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, Iowa, Michigan, Delaware, Wisconsin, Cali fornia, and other States, aud at different periods from 1800 to lb-15 was born ia the various territories along the line of the Paoiflu Railroad, as far west as Utah, on a Mississippi steamboat, and at scattered points on the isothermal line, in a balloon, in a diving-bell, on Vancouver's Island, at the Astor House, and in New Jersey. In short, there is no place where he was not born, and for further information we refer the reader to "Lippin cott's Universal Gazetteer," which contains the names of several hundred thousand towns, and "Colton's Map of North America," which shows that his birthplace is bounded by two oceans, by the Gulf of Mexico, and the Polar Sea. It is singular that the man who first nomi nated Grant should have so long remained un known. But prophets are seldom known till their predictions are fulfilled; they then be come famous in the twinkling of an eye. The moment that Grant was elected naturally re vealed the man who first nominated him. The man who first nomiuated Grant was a phrenologist who had the honor of examining the head of the infant General, who was then but six months old. We can prove that he instantly exclaimed thi3 was in 1S22 "This child has a gigantic intellect; his organs in dicate immense military genius, aud he will undoubtedly become the President of the United States. I hereby nominate him for that office." This man was also a volunteer in the Mexican war, who, on beholding the manner in which Grant served his gun at Vera Cruz, exclaimed, "Capt. Grant is my candi date for the Presidency !" He is also a major in the Kentucky Home Guards; a brigadier in the Army of the Cumberland; an importer; a large number of members of Congress; the Governors of several S:ates; President of the first Grant Clubs in New York, Boston, Phila delphia; many tobacconist''; the editor of the New York Llerahl; several thousand leading politicians; a great number of persons who despise oflice; an editor or two, or two thou sand; in short, we refer the reader for further information to the city directories of New York, Philadelphia, O.ihkosh, Chicago, St. Louis, San Diego, W Islington (Del.), Peoria (111.), and other cities in which these useful works now of transcendent interest are published. Therein are printed the several million names of the man who first nominated Grant, with his several million residences, and if the General desires to thank him aa he should desire we respectfully advise him to buy several hundred copying presses, aud set his staff to work smiling off letters of grateful acknowledgment to the following effect: WASUINOTON, D C, llF. VTJQCAUTERS OFTIIF. U. S. Aioiv. My Deur f.ir: la IH- (Here insert thermtuo of the year), wtillo I vnrt yet (uere liiHertan infant, u boy, a atudeut, a farmer, a taniipr, a Ktorekeeper fi Ciptaiu, a Major, a Colonel, a General, ns llio case runy be,) and wan lfrisiulus iu (t'olnl Pleasant, West Point, Foit Brown, Detroit, Hi, Louis.

Ubant. (See Directories for full name.) The man who first nominated Grant would be delighted with such a letter as this, and, laying our hand upon our heart, we fervently declare that it is no more than his due. In Chatham street, some years ago, dwelt a colony of pawnbrokers in a single block. The first sign of the first shop read thus: This is the Original Jabobs." The second sign an nounced "'Jhis is the Original Jacobs." The third firmly asserted "This is the Original Jacobs." The fourth wa3 peremptory in maintaining "This is the Original Jacobs," and the fifth insisted that "This is the Origi nal Jacobs." Then came the sixth, which in enormous letters called the world to witness that "This is the Original Original Jaoobs," and would take no denial. The man that first nominated Grant recalls to us the touching rivalries of these enterprising merchants, and we wish him equal success iu business. We can only hope that when he succeeds in button-holding the President elect, aud narrates his claim to ollioial recognition, he will meet with a better reception than did the man who lirbt nominated Lincoln. "Mr. Lincoln," said that unfortunate individual, "my dear friend, one moment in private 1" Then drawing the President aside, he whispered in his ear these startling words: "Sir, I was the first man to nominate you for the Presidency!" "Did you ?" exclaimed Mr. Lincoln, starting back with indignation. "Well, sir, see what a mess you have got me into.'' FINANCIAL. Y. p. Y. p. m. Y. P.
