Work or l'layl
From the If, Y. Timet.
Our national Vgllator may find leisure,
during the holiday, to determine the oourse
to ' be pursued wheu these come to an end.
There in evidently much doubt upon the sub-
eot. We have charitably buppoaed that the
istleBBuefs evinced Biuce the wef8ion opened
Wit a mere aute-Cliriatuiis accident, to be
atoned for after the 5vh of January by down
right hard work. Ou no other hypothesis did
it seem possible to explain the procrastination
and neglect which have been apparent iu re
gard to every Important subject. It seeuia,
however, that what we supposed to beaoji
dental really was intentional on the part of
many, and that the trilling witnessed these three
weeks is to be continued through the remain
der of the session. ' Nearly all the leading
lueuibeis," writes our Washington corres
pondent, "are of the opinion that nothing is
actually necessary at this session beyond the
Appropriation bills."
We hope that "the leading members," and
the members who are not "leading," will re
turn from their home visits with a dill'irent
impression. The prevailing opinion among
the people is that a great deal is actually
necessary this session to meet urgent wants,
and to Institute reforms which cannot be de
ferred until another session without grievous
injury and wrong. It is not enough that
General Grant has been elected President, and
that his friends will be tmuMently strong in
the next Congress to give effect to the reforma
tory measures of his daiuiBtration. The fact
Is saUiK??r7 o far as it goes. But it furnishes
no exouse for negligence on the part of the
present Congress. It has a duty to perform
wholly independent of the next President,
and the duty of providing legislation that is
needed now, of doing a work that is expected
now, of inaugurating those measures of im
provement and reliet which are requisite now,
and whioh the new Administration should
complete and exeonte.
Mr. Colfax expressed the popular demand
the other night at Philadelphia, when he
pledged the Grant administration to "the
most searching retrenchment; honesty, effi
ciency, and higher character in all connected
with the public service; rigid guardianship of
the Treasury against unwise aud extravagant
Schemes; a financial policy which shall main
tain our credit untarnished, appreciate our
currency, and place us on the firm rock of
epeoie payments." The programme is too
comprehensive to be realized iu. the seven or
eight weeks which will remain of the present
session. But there are portions of it which are
practicable, and to these members should ap
ply themselves on reassembling, if they
would not scandalize their party and do injus
tice to the oountry.
Appropriation bills are confessedly neces
sary, even in the opinion of "leading mem
bers." Their policy of laziness does not ex
tend to the voting away of money. The task
of providing for the national expenditures,
however, presupposes considerable attention
to the expenses to be covered. Retrench
ment, therefore, is at this moment in order;
not a hasty cutting down of estimates, to be
hereafter amended by deficiency bills, but a
thorough and oareful reduction of expenses,
with a due regard to the requirements of the
publio service. Mr. MoCullooh has shown
not only that a large saving is possible in
almost every department, but tht it is essen
tial to prevent higher taxation. Here, then,
is one work so actually necessary that it can
not be postponed with safety.
The publio credit, too, calls for immediate
attention. It cannot be improved by any mere
theorizing on the subject of resumption.
Schemes relating to that subject are well in
their way, and perhaps necessary; but what
ever be the policy of the incoming administra
tion, it is in the power of the present Congress
to accelerate resumption simply by bettering
the condition of the Treasury. To do this we
must bave retrenchment accompanied by an
increased productiveness of the revenue, as
the result of increased efficiency and integrity
in the internal revenue service and of an in
telligent and just revision of the oustoms'
duties. Not only has the latter object been
thus far neglected, but its attainment has
been rendered more remote tbaa ever by the
favor shown towards changes in the direction
of monopoly. If the national credit is to be
strengthened, prohibitory duties will have to
be discarded and duties adjusted with a view
to productiveness put in their plaoe. The
fondness for doing little or nothing may se
duce members into the neglect of the thing
most wanted; but at least they may be asked
not to make matters worse by piling up ob
stacles at the instance of a few importunate
interests.
The virtue of denial ought to be pushed yet
further. The "rigid guardianship of the
Treasury," whioh Mr. Colfax promisas, is a
duty quite as incumbent ou and after the 5th
of January as on and after the 4'h of Maroh.
Unless fulfilled in the intervening period,
brief though it be, much damage will be
done. Magnificent schemes are already on
the carpet. One project has been started
which alone would bankrupt the Treasury,
and ethers little less dangerous are spoken of
as in preparation. Whether thrse' come in
the shape of claims to be paid, or of aid to be
rendered to enterprise, or of the acquisition
of territory, but one safe course i3 open. All
should be rejected. lint even the rejection of
these aud similar projects implies greater
vigilance and a keener appreciation of public)
neoessit'es than have yet neen apparent.
We would not mar the holidays by fruit-
' lessly complaining. Congress is made up of
mortals, who are not required to forswear eu
iovment. If they would relish it honestly.
however, and disport themselves with a good
conscience, we reoommeml tuein to resolve
unon disregarding those "leading members"
who would conseorate the remainder of the
session to serene self-contemplation instead of
tough and patient work.
Babes Iu the Wood.
From" Brick" Pomeroy't If. Y. Democrat.
The other day, in Mississippi, a wandering
carpet-bagger Irom Rhode Island, by the
name of Williams, who had enlisted in the
heavenly guerilla business, and who for soim
time has been wandering about that tUate
preaching religion and talking politics to the
colored population, was found in a barn sleep
ing on a pile ot com-stalky by the side of an
Ethiopian damsel, the two locked securely in
each other's arms. By their side was a whUky
bottle, which the day before had been emptied
of whisky and filled with bed-bug poisou,
without a proper label, and stood upon a shelf
In the nantrr. The guerilla aud the vircrin
bad taken a drop or two too ranch of the afore
said inducement, and instead of taking a little
snooze together while he converted her in the
aforesaid loft of the aforesaid barn, the pair
Of beauties had played babes tn tn wom, and
gone down the valley or aeatn, no Ken to
gether. We sympathize with New Kngland
in her bereavement, and suggest the erectiou
of a monument to the martyr. In life they
were together,, and in death it was not deemed I
advisable to separate them; so the white aud I
black, loved and loving, guerilla and damsel,
were dropped in one hole together. Ilai this
been before election, it would have been put
down as a Ku-Klux outrage t Now folks oan
pay that the "spirit" was too willing, and the
flesh was weak I For in suoh an hour as you
think not, no man, nor woman, oan stand too
much bed-bug poison. They have gone.
Brethren, let ns pray.
IIatt to SUp the Leaks
f rom the IT. T. Tribune.
The clouds whioh still overcast our national
sky are mainly financial; and Oeneral Grant's
administration will prove a triumph or a fail
ure according as it shall demonstrate ability
or inability to reduce the burden of the national
debt. Its first need, therefore, is retrenchment
in publio expenditure; but its seoond, and
scarcely inferior, is to enhance the national
income by putting an end to the gigantic
frauds which have for years reduoed the reve
nue by from fifty to one hundred and City
millions per annum.
How shall this be done f
We expect something from the passage of
Mr. Bchenck's general bill, and something more
from a general infusion of honesty and vigor
into the service consequent on the acoession of
General Grant. But there is a more speolUo
means of operating to this end, which seems
to ns worthy of consideration. llre is its
outline:
Assuming that a first-rate Seoretary of the
Treasury is assisted by an equally fit Commis
sioner of Internal Revenue, we hold that the
proper district officers should be held account
able for the success or failure of their efforts
to assess and collect the internal revenue after
this fashion:
Brown, we will suppose, is assessor of a
specified district, and Jones colleotor. The
Commissioner should give them fair notioe
that they must secure to the Government the
internal revenue rightfully collectable from
that district, or must give plaoe to successors.
Each, when appointed, should be distinctly
told, "The fair, honest cost of whisky in your
district is (cay) $1-25 per gallon; we shall
keep strict watch over it, and whenever we
find any selling therein for $1'10 or less, we
than want your luce for another man." So
of tobaooo; so of other heavily taxed articles.
If a person oaunot collect the revenue, that is
reason enough for letting some one else try in
his stead. "Augers that won't bore" are out
of place in such a service; they must give
place to such as will. Only let the assessor
and collector know that, whenever the prices
current prove them unable to do the work for
which they are paid, they must get out, and
what are now moral impossibilities will soon
sink into mere difficulties, and then fade away
altogether. At all events, we trust this plan
will receive fair consideration.
'Buttons, You Be Slowed !"
From the N. Y. World.
Intelligence certainly is not a matter either
of inches or of avoudupois, or of age or of
Station. And it is very likely that the small
pace, whose well-meant endeavor to arbitrate
in the quarrel which interrupted the harmony
oi- air. vveiiers "swarry" at uatu was igno
miniouely enubbed by a haughty hall porter,
in led plush breeches and white silk stock
ings, with the exclamation, "Buttons, you be
blowed I" may really have been an unappre
ciated Daniel come to judgment. But the
snub was none the less effectual. "Buttons"
subsided, ate his great heart in brooding
siience, ana was neara irom no more.
A similar experience has just befallen (we
dare say quite as unjustly) one of the 1'ri-
vunes young men, whom it sent out some
time ago as its correspondent to England.
This young man finding all England, aa he
fancied, by the ears about Mr, Reverdy John
son, and believing the catastrophe to be im
pending of a satisfactory settlement of the
Alabama claims by a wicked old Marylander
who drank Madeira and shook hands with
Lairds and with lords gallantly rushed into
print to interpose himself between Great
Britain and her doom, lie sent a very long
letter to a very "liberal" London paper, the
Daily Metre. In this letter he set forth, in a
most impressive manner, the awful conse
quences which must ensue to the whole
British realm if Englishment went on de
luding themselves into the belief that the
American Minister in England either spoke
the truth, believed in his Maker, represented
his country, or so much as knew the differ
ence between chalk and cheese. He cited the
Tribune and his own correspondence with
the Tribune to show that the great heart of
the Union throbbed with indignation at the
words and ways of this recreant old Mary
lander, who deserved no better than he got
when he was born to be named Johnson. Aud
he wound up by warning all and sundry the
dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, and
barons, the knights and burgesses, the gentle
men and the squires, the merchants, in ana -
lacturers, butchers, bakers, and oandlestick
makeTsof the ihree kingdoms, that any fur
ther "civilities" extended by them or by auy
of them, in their publio, private, eorperate,
or individual capacities, to the aforesaid Mary
lander, would be regarded by every patriotio
American as an insult ottered to the Union.
Will it be believed that this most earnest
and ingenuous remonstrance, conceived, as
every one must see, in the highest spirit of
American nationality and beel-respect, and
brought forth in the purest good-will to Bri
tain, provoked from the self-bolstered and
beer-bJoated flunkeys of the British press no
more civil reply than, "Buttons, you be
blowed 1"?
Yet fcuoh is the melancholy fact 1
Ot courte, one might have expected the
venal creatures who hang about the tables of
the aristocracy the Tory panderers to the dia
bolical machinations of a Disraeli to vent
their spite in this insolent fashion upon a
meek and lowly follower of the soft-spoken
11. 0. aud the gentle Thaddeus Stevens. But
the Daily Aeus itself, which is the faithful
vane of Mr. Gladstone's many wholesome
winds of doctrine, and the Manchester
Guardian, which speaks with the voice of
John Bright, were first and foremost in the
derieive outcry. Nay; no sooner had the man
of the Tribune announced that any further
civilities to Mr. Reverdy Johuson would be an
icsult to the Union, than John Bright himself
actually went down to meet that aged diplo
matic reprobate at dinner iu Birmingham, and
called him his friend in public, aud declared
that it was an honor to be with him 1 There
is even reason to bulls ve, we fear, that Mr.
Bright went so far as to take "in friendly
gracp" the hand which had ouoe closed ami
cably upon the digits, instead of angrily npon
the ears, of the thrice-damnable Alabama
Laird 1 Could there be a more emphatic way
ot saving "Buttons, you be blowed 1" than
this.
What the Tribune will do about it does not
yet appear. But there oan be no doubt that
the "blockheads" of the Loyal League owe it
to themselves, their order, and II. G. to call a
meeting on the subject at onoe. II. G., of
course, will never oondesoend now to accept
the mission to Great Britain. And the loil
pulpit of the land will be false to its high
calling if it do not denounoe, in thunder
tones, this wretched reoreanoy of liberal Kog
land this sale of the birthright of the elect
for a miserable mess of diplomatlo porridge.

It Congress oan spare seven "national"
legislators to look after the political affairs of
this "national metropolis" of New York,
cannot the army headquarters spare one briga
dier to reconstruct the disorganized Siate of
Iudlana f III perfectly obvious that Indiana
needs reconstruction at least as badly as Ifexai.
If Texas is ruled by the "Kn-KIux," Indiana
Is ruled by "Vigilauo- Committees." Proba
bly it make very little dilTnrenoe to a man
who is unlawfully hanged whether he be
hanged by a "Ku-Klux" or by a "Vigilanoe
Committee," and Just as little whether he
look bis last on life from the banks of the Rio
Grande or from those of the Oliio. Oar
domestio order and our foreign relations are
equally menaced in both oases, It is qaite
possible that the Ku-Klux if there really are
any Ku-Klux iu Texas may one of these
days catch and strangle a stray "greaser"
from Mexico; and it is quite ourtain that the
Indiana "Vigilants" have already oa'ught aud
strangled a person surrendered by the British
Government to American justice, on the
strength of a treaty which never would have
been made by England had not Eaglish
statesmen supposed the United States to be a
civilized and responsible power. Nov, Mr.

smile, like the discnurse of Plato, might woo

made a characteristically mellifluous speeoh
at the New Euglanders on Tuesday evening,
in the oourse of which he beoame posi
tively ecstatio about the privilges aud
the potency of "American oitizenship. lie
thought that "Americau oitizenship" bad
"been stamped by the approval of the
Divinity;" also, that we should "consecrate it
in our hearts like the vestal fire of the an
cients." Also, he thought it "should enable
our ambassadors to stand unabashed in the
shadow of the thrones of the Old World."
Also, that it "would lift America to a prouder
position among the nations of the world."
Also, that it "is to allow it to sweep onward in
the van of the march of empires and of nations,
as our great principles, triumphant here, ar
even now impressing the monarohs of the Old
World with the doctrine that throughout this
globe the people nmt role." Also, that it
should "make Aroeiicau citizenship as poten
tial in Texas aa in the city ot New York.
By all means, most noble Colfax I
When Wb saw you swing off into space iu
this astounding Jar-Lion ou your rhetorical
trapeze, like a bolder Leotard or a more aerial
llanlou Brother, we never dared to hope you
would laud npou so sate and practical a con
clusion. We are with you heartily for
"making American citizenship as potential in
Texas as in New Yoik." But are you with ns
to make it as "potential" in your own State of
Iudiana as in New York ? And if so, how f
Your way of making "American citizen
ship poteutial in Texas" is to declare Texas a
province by act of Congress, and to put Texas
under tutelage, aud to disfranchise its citi
zens, aud to send dovn soldiers and a briga
dier to rule over them; aud all this on the
pretense tLut "Aniericm citizenship in Texas"
will not otherwise be "potential" enough to
st-cure "order" aud the "due administration
of justice." On a like pretense, you propose
to put "American citizenship" in New York
under the supervision of a Congressional com
mittee, who are to see that we do not emascu
late our citizenship, without knowing it, by
our incapacity of regulating our own elections
and proleoting ourselves against frauds upon
the suffrage. If this method be a wise method
with Texas and with New York, why not with
Indiana ?
it is notorious, as we have eaid, that "order"
and the "due .administration of justice" are
highly perturbed in Indiana to day. We
belive, too, that there were som very queer
things done at the polls iu Indiana last fall,
whereby Indiana lost the credit of choosing as
her Governor the ablest statesman who now
represents her in the "national" councils.
But we will deal with one thing at a time,
most noble Colfax 1 Y'ou cannot desire to
have the "national" honor smirched, "order"
broken up, the "due administration of justice"
made impossible in Indiana. You must long
to "see American citizenship as potential"
in ycur adopted as in your native State. How
will you set about it ? Will you vote for the
appointmentof a Congressional commutes to
visit Indiana, with power to send for persons
and papers, and with orders to ascertain how
it comes to pass that the radioal authorities of
Indiana are unable to enforoe the laws of that
t-'tate, and to prevent the flag and faith of the
United States from being trampled underfoot
by brutal and irresponsible mobs f Will yon
vote for a bill putting Indiana under the au
thority of .the "General of the Armies," and
requesting that eminent personage to appoint
a brigadier with power to see order main
tained and the laws enforced ?
Will you do either, or both, or neither of
these things f .
And if neither, will yon. be so good as to
ceae your acrobatic perform moes over the
beads of the "monarchs of the Old World,"
and the effete despotisms aud aristooracies
generally, until suoh time as "Amerioau citi
zenship in Texas" shall have become "poten
tial" enough to protect itself against au un
scrupulous and unconstitutional military
tyranny, and "American citizenship in New
York" sacred enough to command the re
ppect and repel the intermeddling of a knot of
impertinent fanatics calling themselves the
majority of a "National Congress ''f
A Enroprau Conference.
From Vie JV. Y. Tribune.
It may now be regarded as certain that the
Eastern complication will, for the present, not
lead to war. The Czar of Russia, supported
by the King of Prussia, has proposed to the
other great powers the holding of a European
Conference for a pacifio solution of the intri
cate question, aud the proposition is said to
have been received with general favor, and to
be sure ot execution. The frequent meeting
of European conferences for sealing difficult
international questions of this kind is one of
the most hopelul features of the recent history
cf Europe. They have more than onoe
averted bloody wars, and are creating a gene
ral disposition, before rushing to war, to make
the ntmoBt eliorts lor a peaoemi compromise.
With regard to the Turkish question, a Euro
pean conference is likely to recommend to the
forks new concessions in favor of the Chris
tians. A redress of all. or even of the prlncl
pal. grievances of the Christian subjects of the
Porte is out of the question, as it wouia in
volve a dissolution ot the Turkish empire, to
which for the pi t sent Franoe and Austria
would refuse to give their oousent. The con
ference, therefore, while it is likely to effect a
costDonement of hostilities, anuot be ex
pected to fiud an flloinnt remt-dy for the de
cline of the Turkish rule.
Prussia and the Kastern Question A
ueuerm i ouiennce,
fVmn the IT. Y. Herald.
From London, Paris, and Berlin our oable
despatches assure us of a Europsau
Conference on the Eastern question, aul
that the initial movements oome from Prussia
and Russia. We detect iu this the presence
aud the brains oi count liismarK.
The Eastern question really has become
rerlons. Greeoe is preparing for war. The
sympathy of Russia with Greeoe and with the
Christiana of Turkey is already so pronounced
that there can be no doubt as to the tendency
of Russian sentiment. It don not mean no
thing that Russia has ordered her llag to be
npea ior w reel an purposes. it grants to
Greeks the favor that the Western Powers
have denied. A European war is. therefore.
rendered the more a possibility. No power In
Europe has more to gain by peace and less to
gain by war than Prussia. War creates dan
gers and involves heavy expenses. Peace has
ror rrussia, in particular, easy and certain
conquests. Count Bismark knows the faot,
and, as it appears, is not slow to make nse of
the opportunity to advance the oausa with
which his name must be lastingly associated.
Austria and Italy are tied np by their debts
aud their (gangers, and hence they readily side
with Prussia.
Ihis Conference, in fact., means to ns ou
this side two things. It means, first of all,
that, nnless the great powers interpose to pre
vent it, the difficulty between Tarkey and
Greece contains within it the germs of a Eu
ropean war. It means, seoondly, that the
honor of settling European difficulties shall
no longer belong exclusively to Paris and to
the Emperor Napoleon. In other words, it
proves that just as Bismark played off Napo
leon on the nationalities question and made
that question as muoh his own as Napoleon's,
so does he now intend to play off Franoe on
what we may call the Paris question, and
make Berlin, so far as he can, the Paris of the
future.
What will Napoleon do f To him this pro-
Eosal must be a surprise. In his estimatiou
e and Paris, not Clarendon and London, not
Bismark and lierlin, ought to have settled
this fresh Eastern difficulty. What will Na
poleon do f He does not want war; he does
not, he cannot objeot to a oongress. If a
congress is good in itself, it ought to be as
good in Berlin as in Paris. It is, after all, a
new phtse of the question. It begets new dif
ficulties, while it does not mitigate the severe
character of the old. IIow the affair will end
it is hard to say. Meanwhile it is not easy to
resist the oonviotion that Bismark has stolen
a march on Napoleon, and that Prussia and
Russia have taken the role 01 France.
