'J wo Kinds of Friends.
Jj OVi the oxhiniilvn Jntcll'yeiicer.
Tuere are two kiinls of friends to (ieneral
(Iraut Biuoi g the Republican politicians in
Congiea. Blitl tte diiMiuutiou between them
jd rBul,llj-croj'ping to th binfaoe. Firm we
have the el" who ratter liked General
Orant; h wfts a good man to run with; they
either meferrtd him to other rivals or possible
noiuinteP, or tbey tonud themselves compelled
to accept him. Uut ihey uever meant that he
should really be tb rident. They rate his
canacity at a very moderate figure, and their
own very highly. They think he ought to be
content to accept the Congressional policy, let
C'orjcresB have all the eub.itantial power, and
be abnudantly happy to live in the Executive
Mansion, give dinners und levees, and execute
their deorees. They do not have a feeling of
contempt for General Grant quite the con
trary with many, if not all of them. They
esteem him, perhaps, as a very worthy man
iiidud, and a ekilful lender of armies. Lut,
Fay they, this does not involve statesmanship.
Good HUHe aud good inclinations may exist,
and yet not the arts of government. Suggest
to these politicians thitt General. Grant may
Lave a jolicy and views of his own, and they
reply with a smile. They do not consider
good temper, an honest purpose, singleness of
Leftit, as better qualification for correct con
dtisious than the habits of the bar and the
Etump, tie training of the Senate, and the
Studies' of the politician, however warped all
these 'acuities and acquirements may be by
prejudice, passion, ambition, or cupidity.
It is quite natural that this class bhoald be
unwilling to repeal the Civil-Tenure bill. The
power ia one they wrested from Mr. Johnson.
Why should General Urant want it ? They
gave him the nomination at Chicago ou the
basis of the mi possidetis. Uave they not for
two years wisely dispeu3d office and patron
age? Thus do they put it. It is nothing to
them that the Constitution makes General
Grant responsible a'ter the 4.U of March next
for the faithful execution of the laws, and that
pulio opinion will condemn his administration
if there eliall be no purification of the public
Service. The appointments ought, they think,
to be governed by hih paity considerations,
upon which they esteem th.'Ui;ielves wiser
than the man ot war; as for military and
naval appointments ani adsigu.iiieuts,they,per
haps, liiiht be conceded; but, that ought to be
enough."
There is another class 01 statesmen in con
gress who look at the matter quite differently.
These alUrui that the country did not at the
last election decide for or again a political
party, hut rather voted its confidence in a man
whom it desired to rulo. These believe Gene
ral Grant to be a person of excellent sense and
judgment, wishing to harmonize the country
and secure a fair adnrnistratiou of law. Such
ft one, though not skilled in all the arts of the
politician, nor versed in book lore, they would
much rather trust than many of the passion
ate zeaiots and abstractionists with whom they
have been associated in Congreas. They pre
fer a Sensible soldier to a senbation politician.
They want peace. Thy want General Grant
to he really the President of the country, and
to have the legitimate, rightful power of the
Executive office. They want him to sucoeed
to the measure of authority that Washington,
Jefferson, and Jackson wielded; to be the Presi
dent, and not a mere figure-head. If he is to
be responsible, let hi in have a free choice of
asrents. and not be hampered or shackled
by having to report his action to the Senate
for confuination. The pretended right of re-
View over removals by the Senate implies
some superiority either of motive or discre
tion, and can only be acoorded where the Con
stitution places it, viz., in case of removals.
Which of these two views or sections of
opinion will prevail, it might be premature to
say. Upon the issue wilt depend, we think,
the harmony of the President with Congress,
and most certainly the sucoess of the new ad
ministration. If Gen. Grant is to enter on his
duties crippled by this Civil-Tenure aot, it
requires no gut of prophecy to predict a break
down. Now we are willing to see him have a
fair opportunity, and all the means necessary
to that opportunity. But this opportunity
Mr. Wilson's bill does not give, nor, if we
understand it rightly, benator ivlmunds'
Both assien the new President a very small
nlace in the picture of the next four years,
The Senate looms up large enough, grandly
dispensing patronage; and it there be a com
peting object on the canvass, it is not the
President, but the whisky ring aud their con
federates, with the money or the people as the
dissolving view.
Specie Payments.
JVom the Toledo (.Ohio) made.
Mr. Henry C. Bowen, of the New York
Independent, has given to the public, in the
form of a letter to Mr. Horace Greeley, his
views in regard to the policy to be pursued in
returning to speole payments, lie regards Mr.
Greeley's proposition ot an immediate resump
tion as fall of danger to the commercial inter
eats of the country and the credit of the na
tion. lie contends that such a course would
benefit only the speculators in gold, if an
attempt were made to lesume specie pay
ments, these.ppeculators would have one of
the grandest opportunities wuiuuevercoourreu
in human history to make enormous sums of
monev. and doubtless tney would improve it
most dilicently. After resumption these
speculators would agree together to buy
up at par quietly alt the gold they could,
and when properly loaded would ofler a pre
mium of one or two pr ceut. or mure. Tula
movement would make a scare in the business
. circles, which would sot thousands to invest.
Ing in gold as a rpeculation, the risk being
fnl v th trifling percentile of premium. Mr.
linwan thinks that by this m.:aus the combi
nation of cold speculators couli break the
nnmrument and all the banks of specie lu a
mnnth from the date of resumption. Then
th interest on our gold-interest bearlDg binds
could not be punctually paid, our foreign
landholders would then be iu a panto, tue
market price of bonds be greatly reduced, and
panto he produced euuu as never odiore was
rnnwn In history.
Mr. Bowen very sensibly oheck3 the habit
of many better versed in history than iu souu 1
nnllHfitl economy. OI uuduuk iirecHuouia iu
the financial experience of EugUnd aud France
In mtor thinca the condition of the oountry
1b o unprecedented that no such parallels
can bold good. There are men iu the olty of
tv Ynrk who eneage in operations which
involve more money than was controlled by
the Bank of England or Franoe at the time
thoha luatltntiona suspended specie payments,
whocan.at pleasure, make money four par oent.
per annum or half per oent. per day. This fact
oar financiers and legislators mast taxe mvo
aooonnt.
Mr. Bowen's reoommendatlou is that the
Government devote every dollar in discount
ing the coupons attached to all our bonded
indebtedness, beginning with those which
earliest mat are, and ooutlnue bo to do until
gold speculators were gorged with it, without
any prospect of the gold getting back to the
Treasury except by the slow operation of the
tariff system. The effect of this would be to
Bend up the price of all our securities, and
keep down the price of gold, which would be
a very healthy condition of things. By these
means Mr. Bowen contends gold would go
down so near to par that the Government
could safely and, with a prospect of perma
nency, resume specie payments. Mr. Bowen
proposes for Congress - to authorize the Secre
tary of the Treasury to borrow abroad oue
hundred millions of gold (not more than fifty
of which would probably be required), to oon
tinne the cancellation of coupons or early ma
turing bonds. This would stop the hoarding
of gold in the sub-treasury, and keep the
market in gold steady.
Objection Is forcibly made to the proposi
tions of some to curtail the currency prior to
leptimptioii. We need all our circulation to
give freedom in business aud maintain sta
bility in the transition to specie payments.
Our business being done mostly for cash, or
on short credits, wo need more currency uo.v
than when long credits were the rule. Cur
tail the currency aud our facilities for busi
ness are gone, and busiuecs men will break by
llioueatils.
The gold speculators must be properly
Leclptd about by tkilful tactics ou the part of
the GuveriiEuent, and then resumption may
safely be ttttmpled. Selling gold by the
(iovominent. should be prohibited by law.
What 1,'t'M we have should be promptly md
in paying our indebtedness, and more bor
rowed it necc-feary to continue eodoiug.
The proposition of Mr. Boweu to throw all
the publio lauds lulotho market at once, and
de vote the proceeds to paying the public debt,
is a proposition we hope will not meet with
public favor. The lands should not be thrust
into the hands of speculators, but kept for
those whore labor must make them produc
tive to the general wealth. Hotter, in our
judgment, to allow speculation aud monopoly
in gold than ia the lauds out of which the poor
iDUst dig their daily bread. With this excep
tion, we think the views of Mr. Bowen are
practical and sensible, aud calculated to con
U Unite ta the solution eif our troubles.

Vc(l the A. Y. 7'ribuiL'.
It is au Interesting peculiarity of crituiml
voiirg in I'eLnsylvauia, that the rascally re
peaters, when brought 'o Uii wuus stand,
usually 1-cki.Gvledg- tlieir multiplied misde
meanors with a utieerfnl irm.kpe.ss wLiuh is
eminently e-ii'yiug. A coii'e.s'ed election esse
(Buun vs. Wiilham) whs laly bef.n-e a Legis
lative Commit e i fit Ilunisbuig the feat iu
dispute being that or' the K'.evriith Legislative
district. One witne, Miihael Siaveu by
name, swears that he voted the Democratic
ticket twenty times b-tsveeu 8 o'clock A.M.
and P. M. being about twlceevery hour
a remarkably energetic day's work, aud
fpeaking higli'y lor Mu;'aai's peripatetic ubi
quiiy. Then comes a confessor rejoicing in
the gentle name of Jjumb, who acknowledges
that he voted the Demoi.iatic ticket twenty
tio.es on eli-etion dy. : lieu follows Ilenry
Elliott, who, ou his own statement, was also a
double X voter. Th mmlrst aud moderate
John Rowan contented himself with voting
the Democratic ticket onK teu times. Aocori-
Ictr to tVe testimony of Slaven, there was a
small party of teu iuei, the Witness himself
beirg one of them, wlm weut meanderiug
about all dav, vutirg tlie Mrmiociatio ticket
whenever they pleased and as oiten a3 they
pleased, being luruis-hetl with ballots by "men
witn tlie Democratic badge on." borne ot nis
companions, according to LimA, belonged iu
Baltimore and some ot them iu New York.
Elliott, it seems to us, was absurdly cautious;
for he deposes that he "changed his hat aud
coat Eometimes in going from poll to poll."
Why he did this we are sure we do not know;
for it is not at all probable that any Demo
cratic challenger would have molested him or
made him afraid while be was doing a work
so noble and patriotic For the enthusiastic
Elliott to disguise himself was, as it were, to
bide his light under a bushel, and the change
of bat and coat might have rendered it diffi
cult for him to establish his identity when the
rovers called at the Democratic headquarters
to receive their reward.
Mr. Elaven testifies to an interesting circum
stance in reirard to "the man who gave us the
tickets." This charitable purveyor of ballots
presented to the devoted little band a ta bill,
whereupon tne tree voters went to me uirara
Avenue Market and "got their dinners"
and an uncommonly good appetite we should
think they must have had after their long
walks and exhausting exercise of the fran
chise, ihese were, indeed, true Demooratlo
politicians. They were after a free dinner,
and they got it; and whoever says they didn't
earn it can know nothing by personal expe
rience of the fatigue of voting early aud voting
oiten.
Mr. Michael Slaven and the other diligent
perambulators exhibited a touching oonlidenoe
in jjemocratio inteentv. "We voted." says
juicnaei, "tne JJeraocratio ticket: did not exa
mine any of them: the man we took them
from had the Democratic badge on." Eaou
enterprising voter received from "the man
with the badge on" a slip of paper. Upon this
were written facts with which the recipient
was Bupposea to oe unacquainted, viz., bis
own name, residence, an i occupation. These
memoranda were necessary, it seems, to manu-
lacture a citizenship tor tb i callant ballotors
It isn't everybody who csu be rechi isteined,
get a new house, aud learn a new trade, a
cozen times over in one nay.
Although the Philadelphia system appears
to tis to be. nearly perfect, yet there is one
improvement which we may venture to
suggest. Common humanity would seem to
require that every repeater, passing "from
poll to poll," Fl onld be furnished with a
velocipede. It Mr. Michael Slaven, without
this locomotive convenience, could vote
twenty times iu one day, it is evident that by
its aid be mlht donble or trable his useful
ness. We glv Mr. Chalrtnau Wallace the
hint, and charge, him nothing for It, beyond
the ci mmon gratitude which our past favors
have already bo amply earned.
The lJcvciily Jolnwoii Treaty.
From liv Cincinnati (Jcztlte.
It appears that we have got a treaty with
England for throwing into a mix- d commis
sion, with the chances all ag&iuat uj, the
claims for the actual value of vessels destroyed
by Angle-Rebel pirates, these to be juuibled up
with all the claims tiiat British subjects oan
trump up since the list treaty, to go into the
same chances ot being found valid. And this
with the knowledge of the whole world that
our Ioes in ships aotually destroyed was not a
tithe of the damage infllcttjd by the peril which
drove our wnole merchaut navy fron the seas
and mined a comuierce which before wa
greater thsn that of Great Britain; and that
the payment of the full value of these ship
and cargoes would be but a tithe of what she
made by driving our ships from the ooean.
We have from the beginning protested
sgainBt a settlement upon any such basis. If
Great Britain should offer us the full value of
the fchlpB and cargoes actually destroyed, we
ought not to accept it. Such a settlement
would be simply an encouragement to a breach
of neutrality and to euoh plraoy; for In case of
war, Great Britain could make
profit by repealing the same
an enormous
same and
the same payment. We are glad
to tee by our speoial despatches that General
(J rant has expressed similar views. We hope
that it was not necessary to nave any extra
neous li'lluenoe to induce the Senate to rejeot
this treaty.
Ihe prakcrsbij).
From tlie Cincinnati Uuzelts,
The contest for this high office of the next
Congress promises to be narrowed down to
two excellent members of that body, although
there ate douMlnss scores who think them
selves lit and proper persona to fill it. The
choit:e of the loyal patty will lie brtwceu Gar
field, of Ohio, and Blaine, of Maine.
It is argued that the President and Vics-Pief-ident
elect are Western men, and as the
Speakership of the House has beeu held for
several years past by a Western member, the
Eatthasajust claim to the ufilcc. We are
not disposed, in the abstract, to recogni')
lines of latitude or longitude, as presenting
any clhims iu the persons of candidates, and
are convinced t hat harm has beeu done by the
peteral recognition of geographical divisions;
but as the division c f public cilices has bent
foolishly allowed to become the habitual cu.3-
tem, we recogtiize me lull force or tuo argu
ment prepented by our liatteru friends, aud
we recognize it the more cbeorlnlly when they
present their claim to the, office in ihe person
of .lames U. JSlame, of Al nne.
Tlie country owes hiui much. Probably
nothing could have pre-veuted the election of
Grant and Colfax in November, as they were
emphatically the candidates of tin l-yl
people; but the prelimiur.ry battles iu tin
h-tales for supremacy, result iu,; iu b'uiou vic
tories, maue tue result in iovcuiber au eay
ai:ti as&urea trinmpu. Maine lea ou in tu)
skirmishes and rolled np au unexpectedly
large Union majority. Loyal men breathed
eaBier after "the news fioni Mame" flashed
over the wires. To James G. Blaiue the
splendid victory in Miine, iu October last, is
largely attributable, liis sagacity, ability,
and industrious zeal were felt iu that momen
tous contest.
As a member of Congress lie has achieved
houoiable dibliticlion, year by year quietly
gaining prominence ai.d ibllaance. Young,
vigoro-.i and tree, wiiu rare personal popu
larity, and a familiar aud ready fcnowledM of
P'S iiciuientary law, bo seMiis to lw peculiarly
lined to succeed Mr. Colfax, iud, although Ohio
presents in weneral trlield an unexceptinu-

I'ronilhc. Clfcorjo Tiibnn;.
The profesrioual people a. Washington are
very much disgusted because U rant has ex-
prersed a wish that tn customary b'Ul given
on tne occasion oi the Presidential inaugura
tion te ounutu. its na uut mat wisli in
the foim ot a letter of request; atct a a con
sequence, tho ball will nut lake place. It is
quite time that i.hse, inauguration balls
should be omitted. However sik-uilbjant and
elegant tbey may havo b-en iu the earlier
dajsot ti e republic, tbey have degenerated
sadly of latn. ihey have, Ion" been morally
catebpenny alteirs, eiisgusting to everybody
save those concerned iu tiieiu pecuniarily; but
so long as the Pres dent elect permitted him
self to be used for the occasiou, "society" lias
had to recognize them. Mr. Lincoln, though
personally holding such affairs in contempt,
was too good-natured to say "no" to the
managers, aud a ball was one of the events
attending his inauguration.
One of tnat class of persons who are tole
rated in good society because they are dancing
men, and who for that reason are as essential
at balls as waiters are in the dining-room,
once asked Mr. Webster why he never
waltzed, to which the statesman responded:
"I never had brains enough to learn
bow." It is needless to say that the "god
like" fell immensely in the estimation of the
dancing fraternity, (ieneral Urant lias un
questionably been voted as wanting in a
knowledge of sooiat requirements by tne
same class of persons.
The fact is, these inauguration balls have
for many years been nothing more than looal
speculations, got up by a lew individuals. The
real parties generally are a livery-stable
keeper, the proprietors of two or three wine
and linuor establishments, one or two lasmon
able tailors, and one or two restaurant keepers.
These parties have been acoustomed to meet
together, and, selecting an omcer oi tue army,
an officer of the navy, an officer of the Senate,
and one of the House, and some personal
friend of the President, have admitted the
latter to the inner circle, as partners of the
real proprietors of the ball. These then select
the long list of ornamental managers,
embracing the rnobt eminent names
of the country, and, having got the
President elect to promise to attend
that ball, they are enabled to kill off all
competition. The ball itself is never anything
but a full dress exhibition, at whioh every
body who can raise money enough to buy
new clothes and hire a hack attends for two
or three hours in a vast crowd, and has the
BRtlsfantion of catchinz a climpse of the new
1'r.oidHnt rjassinc throuah the hall. Instead
of a crand ball, distinguished for the ele
rance and refinement of the guests, these
affairs have for many years bjeu nothing
but miscellaneous gatherings, at which all the
adventurers of both sexes, all the gainuiers,
thieves and pickpockets assemble lu their
full strength. Such a ball yields the limited
cumber of real proprietors a large prom.
Grant's refusal to be a party to suca a pre
ceeding, though it is against all precedent,
does him infinite credit, and will make it au
easy task to his successors to do likewise.
We have no doubt that there is not a re
spectable person at Washington, who has ever
witnessed ono of these ioiugural balls, but ia
heartily glad of Graut's refusal, and who does
not cordially approve it. The sharpers about
Washington, who have been accustomed to
use the new President for this quadrennial
speculation, will feel very much disgusted at
Grant's conduct, but thev will find that the
new President will be equally fear loss and in
dependent in all things, and that speculators
and jobbers, whether ou a small or lane scale,
will find him at all times peremptorily re
fusing to dance at their renue&t or at their
liddilg.

If in this driving ace nations are quick to
cou-imt crimes, that enlightened publio sen
timent which we are glad to bnlieve is grow
ing with a rabidity commensurate wKh our
physical and social surroundings, brings about
a epeedy repentance, and, where it ii possible,
at least some reparation for the wroug in
Dieted. It ia baldly four years since the fre
tident of the United States fell by the baud of
an assassin. The time and the clroumstauoes
of the deed, no less than the character and
position of the dead, roused the North into a
another snob
delirium of passion and spirit of blind vengeaune
such as never before disgraced our annals,
and we trust, for the honor of human nature,,
never will again. J liree men and oue woman
were tried by a military court, which hardly
possessed enough of the forms of justice to
make it respectable, aud, after proceedings
little better than a miserable burlesque
npon law aud common eeose, were seat
to the scaffold. Ihree cthr so-called accom
plices, against whom there was scarcely a
Kbadow of proof, were; bauUhed to a barren
sand bank in the U'llf of Mexico. Oje of
them, if we remember, has died, but the two
survivors aro still dragging out a wretched
existence to which det.h itself is a preferable
fate. It is liOt creditable to the American
people that there poor exiles should have so
loLg appealed for mercy, and appealed In vain;
but it is a matter of un ki.-.a11 cougratu!atiou
that even at this late day movements nre in
itiated which ae likely to result iu their par
deu and release. Leading radical journals.
like the PiL-tou Uaili) Advertiser, express de
cided convictions of ISpanler's innooonoo,
sud a petition in favor of Dr. Mudd, pinned
by ii nii!;ent Radical and Democratic mem
bers (( CorgreM, has alivady been preseuted
to I resi lent Johusni). There is no reasonable
eltMibt or should be none that this petition
wMl b "lanted, and the pardou of Spunkier
uiil ei'ber ecvoiopsny it, or, at thn worst, lw
rot lore dHaved. John fciirraH, who hl
1 e been cunpbt at, the time would inevitably
have shared the fste of his nioiher, was for
tunate enonp a to escape arrest nutil the
thiisi for slaughter was queuihed au i reniou
assumed its rightful sway. Chas ' 1 froai oue
end of the world to the ollor, at un expense of
over one hundred thousand d.'lUrs to the
Government,, luonht home lu irons, im-
pn. oned lor months, and then prosecuted by
tlie abhst talent the ndmiuisiratiou could
secure, backed by the evidence of such
initerablo scouudrels as tVcichmanu and St.
Marie, his bitterest enemies could not rob him
of a fair and impartial trial, aud to-day he
Wfcll s abroad a free man.
The vast majority of citizens of all parties
pr,d both itctious accept this result willingly.
They will do the Bauio when Spangler and
Mudd aie released lioiu Dry Tortuous. This
syio athy, lepentance call it either or what
we may does not proceed from any ludille
rei ce to or lorj-etiulness of the terrible murder
which rubbed ihe republic of its choceu head
and materially changed the political com
plexion of snb.-eqtient lifclauou. Tue slayer
ot Mr. Linciuu is pilloiial in hisiory for all
couiiLg fige.:, atd his proven confederates will
bale tjet sam.i undyii.g nuaiur; but bsyoui
thjt point the moral teiiiin.eut of tin country
will not to. I he people were crazy in t'jojn
dnik weeks ol ,M'; they are getting natio now,
and leaoy to recognize lUo lesson taught by
the eoc;eut proverb ''Lot jUotice be done
thonch the heavens fall."
But while we r-ioice that this is so, and
wbiio we have a right to he prouu that our
fellow-countrymen can atoue tor former errors
by a wise uipguuuimity towards those for
whom that magnanimity is not forever too
late, we. should not (ail to remember that there
is one victim of judicial butchery whose blood
still ciies fioui the ground; one pale ghost
which will not down Rt onr bidding until its
manes are appeased, its fame redeemed. We
prt-suii-e that there are comparatively few
persoj s at home or abroad who are not con
vinced oi the innocence of Mary Snrratt, and
who are not willing to acknowledge the fact to
themselves, if to no one else, that the hang
man's rope etrnrgled the life out of a guiltless
woman. Public opinion barely sanctioned her
execution, even during that period of intense
excitement, and since that excitement has
died away, it has almost m.iversally reprobated
the action as an awful blunder or something
Worse. Pardly an officer of high or low decree
in any way connected with the transaction,
who has not endeavored to rid himself of the
feariul responsibility and shoulder it upon
somebody else. But no efforts of theirs or
ours can rid the nation of the foul stain. It
clings to the garments of the republio; it
crimsons her hands, it blots her escutoheon,
it will track her like an avenging Nemesis
until the wrong is acknowledged as openly as
it was perpetrated, in England and Europe,
when a human life lias 'been unjustly taken
by a legal tribunal, on a proper and satisfac
tory presentation of the facts, the sentence is
formally reversed and the reputation of the
dead cleared of crime. Nothing more can be
done and nothing less should be. Mrs. Snr
ratt sleeps in a felon's grave beneath the
pavement of her prison yard. A daughter has
begged again and again for her mother's dust,
and the piteous request has been denied. Is
not the Federal Government strong enough
now to dare to do right f Can it not afford to
give back that corpse, and tell that child that
her parent was no murderess ? Or shall we
indorse the infamous verdict of Hunter's
drum-head court, and accept the oonse-
quences in the eyes of the world and the judg
ment of heaven?
