"Til speaker ia 000 man," saM a placid
Oriental philosopher to peatiletit bore onoe
upon time tlw pt-akt-r in one mttn and
the hearer iuauotber, and bo there Is no harm
done." Many an honest oiiizen of New York
will eoho this Bentimcui when he peruses the
oratorical eflnsions of Mr. Baeoher and Mr.
Bellows and the reBt over the woes of the
Cretans, the wickedness of the Turks, and the
great obligation laid upon the American
people to electrify Kurope into justice to
Greece. There is a class of men In all civi
lized countries to whom it seem3 to be a posi
tive torture to be compelled to forego med
dling in other people's alUira. In semi-civilized
regions men of this stamp commonly
take to being barbers. The barber ef Turkey
or Egypt has advantages for the sporadic
pursuit of foreign politics and for a general
intermittent supervision of mankind which
are peculiar to his own country and calling.
Thetonsorial methods of those picturesque
tut obfuscated peoples are singularly primi
tive; and the barber of Cairo or Constanti
nople. haviDg once fairly wedged his victim's
head into a brass basin such as Don Quixote
took for Mambrino's helmet, and having
firmly seized his victim's nose between his
thumb and forefinger, can thereupon proceed,
perfectly at his ease, to expatiate upon all
things sub and supra-lunar. The nearest ap
proach to so commanding an opportunity for
the born bores of Christendom is to be found
in the pulpit. The custom of ages and certain
innate instincts of decorum have erected it
into a sort of social crime for a man to get np
end walk out of his pew while a preacher i
preaching to him. No matter how detestable
nay seem to him the doctrine with which he
is getting drenched or pelted, there he feels
Mmtelf obliged to sit. He is button-holed, so
to speak, by universal Christendom. The
Ages of Faith have him by the nose in the in
terest of the Rev. Mr. Stiggins, and his only
hope is in quaint George Herbert's faith that
in such a case
"God tabes the text, and preaoheth patience."
This divine preaching, however, only the
hearer hears, and never the preacher.
Whereby the preacher, getting constantly
more and more accustomed to belabor an un
resisting patient and to shear a dumb sheep,
Rrows oonstantly worse and worse. How very
i) eadful a bore may thus be developed out of
1 average dull man, the general publio hap
; !y nver knows till some great political ex-
lement, or some casual publio event, sum
v ons him from his pulpit to the platform.
Vucn quiet people, hearing, stand aghast and
- em Me, as the good folks at the Cooper Insti
ite did Friday night, at the awful piotnre of
vmeiican responsibilities and the American
iiortcomings in the matter of Crete held up
1 them hour after hour by the indefatigable
..lr. Beecherand thees-sutllioate Dr. Bellows.
Of course we have all heard a great deal
tbout the sufferings of the Cretans, and it is
an article of the household,; ay, of the nursery
creed of all Christian born' men and women,
that the Turk ia a monster of such hideous
mien as to be hated needs but to be seen. Our
ancestors, through many generations, hated
this Turk with all their hearts, not the less
bitterly that they were also a good deal afraid
of him. Dr. Bellows himself, who has just
been following in the footsteps of the Crusa
ders and the Apostles with boiled peas in his
shoes, a pilgrim on a picnic, with his pass
ports all in order, and a dragoman at ten dol
lars a day, assures us that when he first came
in sight of the Turkish empire he was quite
frightened at the "terrible power" of that
abominable despotism. We can easily believe,
therefore, that the Sphakiotes, who are fight
ing it at long odds on the white hills of Crete,
and who get considerably more doctrine than
drachmas from their "liellenio brethren" of
the mainland, are having a very bad time of
it indeed. There are not so many of them, to
be sure, as there were of our own Southern
rebels; and we may well doubt whether their
privations and their trials, in defense of their
right to throw over their legitimate rulers, are
at all more sharp and sore than those whioh
were undergone for four long years by the
veterans of Johnston and Beauregard and Lee.
But human suffering is human suffering after
all, and the hymn-book teaches us that
"Our neighbor ia the suffer Id g man,
Though at ihe furthest pole."
Starving Bphakiote men are not pleasant to
think of, any more than starving Southern
women. And if anybody asks us to weep a
few tears over the heroes of Candia, and to
gubsoribe funds for feeding their wives and
children, it ought not to afleot our response
to the appeal that the same people make no
effort to move our hearts in behalf of other
"rebels" and wretohes nearer home. But as
we never invited the Osnianli into Europe, nor
helped him to wrest Crete from the Veuetiaus
( who did a nice little business there them
selves in the way of tyranny, Christians
though they were), nor guaranteed either
Hellas or the Sublime Porte, we really think
it ia a little hard that we Bhould be all herded
into a Urge hall every three or four months,
there to be first bullied for negligence in not
attending to other people's business, aui then
to be told that the only way in which we can
repair this gross sin ef omission is by
making terrible faces at the Sultan. With
the exception of Wendell Phillips and
Charles Sumner, and a few other Boston peace
men of the kind, nobody has yet attempted te
egg us on into taking np arms and pushing
the Turks over the Uospuoma. Mr. Bueoher,
it is true, did intimate thtt in a cer
tain contingency, it might be necessary for us
either to tight or to "make threats," which
that reverend gentleman oddly enough regards
as "the equivalent of fighting," in behalf of
Crete and humanity and the goas 01 ureece
Bat even Mr. Beecher declines to insist upon
our doing this just at this moment. He only
entreats us to make ourselves as disagreeable
as we can about Greece and Turkey to Frauoe
and Erjsland and the Paris Conference. Oae
cannot help snspeoting. Indeed, that Mr
Beeoher's chief interest in the Cretans arises
out of the fact that they may afford us such
eaDital chance for saying unpleasant things
about the French or the English, if It will at
aM ease his mind to do so. There are a great
manv unpleasant things which may be said
about them, not ouly with gratification to
ourselves, but perhaps also with profit to
ttiam. But why make Grebes and Crete
a nrtext for saving them? Aad, Aove all
why suffer one's cutaneous irritability about

But all the world does not know this si
well as we. These sesquipedalian upeechea

Minister at Athens (how many people know
that we have a Minister at Athens ?) actually

Greek papers are to be believed, he really

might be expeoted at an early day to bring
Abdul-Aziz in chains to the Pirrcus, and carry
him about Hellas, as Tamerlane carried Btja

The 'ew Cable from France.
From the N. Y. Jlcruld.
While the company formed to lay a new
Atlantic cable from the French coast to the
American shore is vigorously pushing forward
its work, and just as it is on the point of com
mencing active operations, a set of narrow
minded jobbers among our own people en
deavor to throw obstacles and embarassments
in the way of the enterprise. We are told
that no fureign company can land a telegraph
cable on the American coast without the
special permission of the United States Govern
ment, and one benighted Senator is found at
Wafchington capable of proposing in the Senate
Chamber that we shall use this pretense in this
age of progress to prevent the construction of
this new means of communication with Europe.
Such a proposition from a statesman of the
Chinese Emperor a few years ago, before
Burlingame's mission, might not have excited
surprise; but coming from the Senate of the
United States, it stamps its author as a man
altogether behind the times. The proper de
velopment of the telegraph business is now
the btudy of statesmen and the object of intel
ligent citizens in every country, aud the pro
gress of the world in this direction for the
next ten years will no doubt be great. The
need of more Atlantic cables is universally
conceded, and the oppesition to the new en
terprise does not come from the present cable
company, whose business would be increased
rather than diminished by competition, but
from the "narrow-minded blockheads" of tha
Western Union monopoly, who desire to trade
upon cable news on their own account, aud
whose speculations would he interfered with
by a cable landing directly iu the city of New
York. That the stockholders of the Western
Union Company derive no benefit from this
dog-in-the-mancer policy is sufficiently evi
dent from the fact that their stock has been
run down from sixtv-four to thirty-two. fifty
per cent., since the present management was
installtd, only a little over a year aeo.
ihe trench Cable Company has the rieht to
land its cable on the American coast and to
connect with independent lines under the
general law. The State of New York has the
power to grant it the right of way if such an
act Bboulu be necessary; but if there were
really any doubt or question on these points,
Congress should immediately grant the privi
lege to any company requiring it. We need
more Atlantic cables, and especially should
we seek to secure one from the 1' rench coast,
as in the event of any unpleasant complica
tions with Ku eland we should then have the
means of communication with Kurope through
a friendly nation.
Tariff Revision.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
Since it is conceded on all hands that a re
vision of the present tariff is desirable, we
think the House decided unwisely that the bill
should be kept in Committee of the Whole,
instead of going back to the Ways and Means.
The latter committee might make in one day
modifications that would command general
assent, yet which wonld consume many days
in Committee of the Whole.
Let ns endeavor to make plainer an impor
tant distinction too generally ignored:
The duties on imports are levied for reve
nue, though Borne of them incidentally pro
tect important branches of our home industry
from overthrow by foreign competition. (The
first tariff ever framed under the Federal
Constitution expressly deolared that it was in
tended to provide for the support of the Gov
ernment, the payment of the publio debt,
and the protection of domestic manufactures.)
But two-thirds of the $100,000,000 per annum
now levied upon imports have no relation
whatever to protection. Such are the amounts
received from duties on sugar, tea, coffee,
spices, Bilks, tropical fruits, eto. etc. True,
it may be said that the sugar duty does protect
the sugar industry of the lower parishes of
Louisiana, while it may Bomewhat stimalate
the production of maple sugar and of sorghum
syrup; but the duty on sugar was imposed
mainly, if not wholly, because of the money it
wonld bring into the Treasury.
The imposts levied on the articles above
named are high, because the Treasury must
be filled. The receipts at our custom-houses
are very nearly absorbed by payments of inte
rest on the national debt, and whatever por
tion of those receipts are not needed to pay
interest ought to be devoted to the reduction
of the principal. We can collect from liquors,
tobacoo, incomes, and other internal sources
enough to defray the current coBt of the Gov
ernment, and bhould appropriate every dollar
of the custom-houEe receipts to the national
debt.
Let it be distinctly comprehended that more
than one hundred millions (five-eighths) of
our duties npon imports are levied upon arti
cles which have nothing to do with protection.
If it were practicable to reduce them one-half,
or to abolish them altogether, the prinoiple of
protection would be nowise affected. Those
who represent these duties as protective defy
common sense as well as honeBty.
Can they safely be reduced ?
Possibly some of them may be; but nothing
Bhould be done to this end without grave
consideration. The Federal revenue is none
too large at present in fuot, it is not bo large
as it Bhould be. Were we buying up aud
burning one million dollars of publio debt
weekly, we might very soon fund our Five
twenties at a lower interest. It is the enor
mous volume of our debt, coupled with threats
aud fears of its repudiation, that compels as
to pay so high rates of interest. We ought
not only to resolve to pay our debt honestly,
but actually resume paying it, in order to
stiffen our credit bo as to compel a reduction
of interest.
In order to effect repudiation, it is nowise
requisite that we should resolve to repudiate.
We need Bay or do nothing in the premises,
but simply repeal or reduce tax after tax
till there Bhall be nothing in the Treasury
wherewith to pay, when repudiation is inevi
table. Every one admits that our imports are too
large in proportion to our exports that, as a
people, we overspend our inoome. All say
that we Bhould export more, or import less,
or both. Mr. Wells Las no doubt on this
point.
Now, If we reduce the duties on tea, coffae,
etc., etc., one of these two consequences are
inevitable: Kitber we shall import more of
these articles, and thus increase the already
heavy balanoe of trade against us, er we shall
collect less revenue from imports. Reduoe the
prevent rates of duty one-half, and we must
double our imports or diminish our revenue.
Are we ready to face either of these conse
quences f How are we to supply the resulting
deficit in revenue, or meet the increased de
mand for gold or bonds to satisfy our ever -increasing
foreign debt f
Bear Jn mind that the question here mooted
jas notning to do wuh protection. It is
purely a question of revenue ot flnauoe. The
duties ou iron, steel, salt, wool. Woollens, cot-
uru nuu nueu laurica. uaruware. eic. etc. ar
incidentally protective, and are to be ralaed or
reduced as we shall consider protection right
or wrong. But duties of the other class rest
on diflerent. grounds, and are to be upheld or
diminished with almost exclusive reference to
the needs of the Treasury. We counsel those
who intend that the debt be honestly paid. not.
while wishing the end, to deprive the Govern
ment or the means.
The Cruise of Hie Cuban Secessionists.
From the N. Y. Timet.
The address of General Dulce on taking
office at Havana on January (i will be more
effective than the troops of Lereuudi have
hitherto been in putting down the rebellion in
the eastern half of Cuba, provided the Cubans
are a reasonable race. He promises them all
the reforms they require; announces that the
freedom of the press, the right of publio meet
ing and representation in the Spanish Cortes
are granted; and declares that Cuba shall
henceforth be a constitutional provinoe of
Spain, rather than a mere dependency, with
out acknowledged rights or actual represen
tation. In the conduct of the rebellion in
Cuba these are the only conditions which have
been openly demanded by the Cubans; to all
appearance they have now gained what they
Bay they are fighting for, and ought to be
satisfied to lay down their arms.
But the Cubans are not more reasonable
rebels than were our own five or six years ago
The vital question there at this time, as it was
in the South then, hidden there as it was here
under much talk of liberty and independence,
is that of slavery, ihe Cuban rebels are
building on the eame fouudatiou as did the
Southern people, though the former have not
so openly declared as the latter did that slavery
is to be the corner-stone of the structure they
propose. It is the maintenance of slavery for
which the Cuban revolutionists are laboring
and hunting most zealously, but most in
sanely, tor their persistence in the struggle,
more than anything else, will precipitate
the sudden abolition of slavery, whioh they
most fear. An effort has lately been main
by the Cubans to arouse the western half
ot the i.-land to insurrection, and in an ad
dress of the Revolutionary Junta to their
western brethren this purpose is revealed
The language of the address forcibly re
minds one of the Southern style of official
proclamations aud newspaper editorials dur
log the war. Spain is pictured by the Junta
as the North was by the Rebel press of
1802-03, as urgiDg and plotting servile insur
rection by "class armaments," and is charged
with making "soldiers even of the orimluald
of the jails, prisons, and workhouses." Spain
is announced as having declared "a war of
extermination," and to have resolved that
"Cuba shall be Africanized rather than cease
to be Spanish." Of the intentions of the
Cubans themselves, it is said by the Junta
that they "will not accept slavery as a neces
sary inheritance of the past, but instead of
abolishing the institution as a means to sink
the island into barbarism, as is threatened by
the Spanish Government, the Association will
look to abolition as a means to ameliorate the
moral and material condition of the laborer,
and to place npon a basis more equitable, and
therefore more secure, the property and wealth
of the people."
This plan of gradual emancipation Spain
will doubtless be glad to adopt, aud we would
rather trust its execution to her than to the
Cuban slaveholders themselves. But Cuba's
claims to separate independence no adminis
tration in Spain can allow, either as a mea
sure ot justice or a matter of neoessity. The
loss of Cuba would levolutionize as well as
bankrupt Spain. Hence the promptitude
with which troops were lately despatched to
Cuba; hence the prompt issue of General
Dulce's generous proclamation; and if these
measures do not avail, Spain will doubtless
finally resort to the abolition of slavery as
a means of quelling the rebellion. The sud
den liberation of the immense number of
slaves of Cuba largely in excess of the free
population would, under the present nn
settled state of affairs, destroy all industrial
and social organizations. The parallel between
the South and Cuba would end with the pub
lication of such proclamation of freedom in
Cuba. As the relative numbers of the slaves
and planters there are just the reverse of what
they were in the South, the consequences of
abolition in the two countries would be dia
metrically opposite, and instead of the com
parative quiet which reigns in the South we
should probably witness in Cuba the repeti
tion of the terrible scenes of conllict between
the races which occurred in Hayti when the
French National Convention of 1701 most
generously but most impraotioally proclaimed
freedom there. The present system of labor
in Cuba, based though it undoubtedly is on
the wrongs of the black race, is its only source
of wealth, and this system cannot be suddenly
disturbed during a time of war without the
most disastrous results.
Grant's DifllculUes.
From the N. Y. Nation.
Grant's opinions about the course the Gov
eminent onght, in his opinion, to pursue on
the leading questions of the day, both home
and foreign, begin gradually to leak out,
through the medium of "conversations" with
newspaper correspondents and politicians; and
although conclusions drawn from reports of
this kind have to be accepted with a good deal
of allowance, notn tor unreporting and mis
understanding, we need have no hesitation iu
eaying that the country is now in possession of
the leading outlines or his policy usiug the
word in the constitutional sense, as covering
the Bet of measures the President is prepared
to recommend to Congress, aud the set of
principles in which he is prepared to act ou
matters lying within his discretion, and not in
the Johnsonian sense, as covering what the
President thinks ought to be done, or is deter
mined to have done by any means, fair or
foul, within his reach, and without regard
to the opinions ot Congress or the publio.
The most interesting and trustworthy ac
count of urant'a views and aims we
happen to have seen has appeared in the
Boston Adv-rtiser, whose Washington corres
pondence has, long enjoyed the rare distinc
tion of being sensible, accurate, and decent.
According to that writer, Grant is in favor of
."honesty, eoonomy, and manlineis." These
are, of course, vague terms; but the corres
pondent gives some illustrations which help
us to fix their meaning. For instance, we get
a good idea of what Grant means by honesty
from what he said of a certain legislator's
f peech that "it was a falsehood; there was
ni thing on which you could put your finger
aLd say, ' J his is a lie,' but tue whole thing

About ihe Tenure-of-Otliue act he says aui
has said nothing; about his opiniuus on the
Civil Service bill the correspondent makes no
report; but the Uenerat's views with regard to
the appointments in the civil eervioe appear to
be precisely those on which Mr. Jeuckus' hill
is basfd; that Is to fay, using the discretion
which the absence of such a bill leaves hiiu.

can do so with a proper regard to he publio

resignations, to take effect on the 4th of March
next," the fact being that no person answer

poses.
Ibis all reads very well, and is very assur
ing, but does not furnish sufficient basis for a
judgment as to the character of the new ad
ministration, without some account of the
strength with which the jobbers and intriguers
and plunderers of the Treasury are mustering
for the defense of the old reifim:. The corres
pondent of the Atlrtrtiser says that "if he
could sLow how the jobbers are organizing
their forces, and Low adroitly they are laying
their planp," people might be afraid about the
future, ihe accounts wttich appear in nearly
all the papers are of much the same tenor and
tffect. There is to be during the coming
winter a real gathering of the clans of corrup
tion at Washington. The various "rings"
were i.e'Ter so stiong or so well organized aud
audacious. The beauty of the case is
that they all, knowing the noble weakness
of the American public, pretend to be
operating on behalf of some great
mural or humanitarian idea. For instance,
there is a great Ring working, as in the caie
of Alaska, tor the extension of "the area of
freedom." They want to purchase Cuba and
pieces of Mexico, and it has even been sug
gested to annex Canada by force. iNow, no
great purchase or annexation of this kind oan
be made, in the present state of the art of
peculation, without the ring pocketing enor
mous prolits. They probably secure iu the
first place a share of the purchase money by
bringing the scheme to a head and getting it
through the senate; they then secure another
share by having the vote of the money hang
fire iu the House long enough to frighten the
vendor, as in the Alaska case. We pass over
without notice the smaller fees to "counsel"
and patrioiio editors of wholesome and inde
pendent papers, and the diunors aud cham
pagne to lobby agents. We pais over, too,
the arrant dishonesty on the part of a nation,
as of an individual, involved in borrowing
money to buy real estate on speculation,
when it is unable to pay debts already con
tracted. The Indian ring in like manner is fighting
us battle by drawing fearful pictures of the
cruel and inhuman treatment which the In
dians would be subjected to if they were trans
ferred to the jurisdiction of the War Depart
ment. It accordingly demands for them con
tinued subjection to the enlightened ministra
tions of the bureau, with its gigantio yearly
almsgiving, its snug "agenoies," and its total
exemption from real responsibility; for it is
easy to Bee that when an agent opens an ao
count with "Black Kettle," the balanoe at the
end of the vear. owing to "Black Kettle's"
limited knowledge of nook keeping, is hardly
tikely to be in "Black Kettle's" favor. It
Bays, moreover, that all would go well if the
naughty white men on the frontier would only
treat the red man properly; but as there is
no immediate prospect of any change in
the white mans character, the excuses
for the present abuses promise to last as
long as the Indians. The whisky ring are
confidently reported by the Western press to
be preparing to operate on the temperanoe
line. They are, it is Baid, going to call for a
rise in the whisky tax from fifty cents to two
dollars, in the interest of "morality" aud
"public order." They are going to show the
desolation to homes, the injury to health, the
increase of crime wought by the poisonous
bowl, and they are buying up all the whisky
they can find, and advising all their friends to
do so, bo as to create an interest strong enough
to force the rise through Congress. Then they
will sell out, pass the prolits to their bank
account, make contracts for future deliveries
of whisky, and begin to work for a reduction
of the tax next year, on the Boientifio prin
cip'e of "undulations."
Whether General Grant can stand firm
against all this, or whether, if he gives way,
we shall not Bee a worse crash, a greater
lcoEering of the hoods of morality, than has
yet been witnessed in Amerioan history, are
points on which a great many people feel
good deal of anxiety. Our contidenoe in
Grant continues unabated, and it is Btreneth
eced by the almost unanimous support he is
likely to receive from the press. Papers of
an Biiaaes of opinion eetm to be encouraging
him to resist the plunderers, and it will be
well if the publio which lies behind the
press does its part in strengthening him tor
the shock. The ways in which the breath of
popular feeling reaches a statesman are in
nu id ei able. The press is only one of its ohannels
Nolodycan Bay a good hearty word against
peculators and sentimental Knaves and hypo
crites in the counting house or club or parlor
without contributing something to the unseen
but mighty and all-pervading force by which
nations are saved.
