The Senate and the Debt.
From the N. Y. Times.
The country is so accustomed to the slow
movements and prooradtinaiing habits of the
Senate when practical reforms are te be
achieved, that the failure thus far to touch
the bill prohibiting auy inorease of the gold
bearing debt exoues no surprise. It is a
simple and obviously beneficial measure, in
volving no difficulty of theory or practice,
and ought to be disposed of without dela".
But the Senatorial laahiou of talking every
thing to death may defeat even this bill. It
still lingers in the Finauce Committee, where
its fate is further Jeopardized by conflict with
the prearranged plans of Mr. Sherman. There
is nothing half so dangerous as a pet financial
theory. And as Mr. Sherman would cure
flnanolal ills by increasing the most oppressive
form of the debt as a result of putting green
backs out of the way, it is perhaps natural
that he should wish to smother a bill which
assumes that that debt is sufficiently large
already, and aims at preventing its inorease.
But Mr. Sherman's partiality fer his hobby,
though it may explain, will not excuse, the
Suppression of one of the most uaetul mea
sures of the session.
The positions assumed respectively by the
House and Senate on fiuaacial questions differ
somewhat from those with which public
opinion has commonly associated them. The
House has been suspected of heresies; the
Senate has reioiord in a reputation for ortao
doxy. The events of the present session have
altered the relation. The House has proved
tself desirous of strengthening the pub'.lo
credit, and by a series of acts has contributed
to the marked increase of confidence whioh is
revealed in the rapid rise of our securities
abroad. The bill to which we have referred
as slumbering in the Senate committee is one
of these, and by no means tun least important,
The Senate, meanwhile, indulges its fondness
for debate by nursing Mr. Sherman's scheme
for increasing the debt, the enactment of
which would neutralize all the good elleoted
by the judicious aotion of the House.
The promise of Mr. She-man to push for
ward Mr. Schenck's Publio Credit and Coin
Payment bill is good as far as it goes. But if
he would do his whole duty to the public
credit, he will not let the session close without
finishing the effective means devised by the
House for stopping the growth of the gold-
nonet aeou
General Grant and the Internal Keyenne
Uureau.
From the N. T. World,
It may possibly be that Mr. Rollins, after a
dozen feints in that direotlon, will aotually go
out of offioe on the incoming of the new ad
ministration. The belief that he may do so is
strengthened by the statement that he has
made an engagement with Jay Cooke te take
the Boston agenoy for one of that gentleman's
finas"l cohemes which has reoeived the
favor 6i Congress, and also by the fact that
he oannot decently retain the post longer than
the fourth of next month. When he does go
out one of the most important offioes under
the ! Government will beoome vacant, and
Qcneral Grant should realize the full measure
of the responsibility which will rest upon
him in filling it. President Johnson has
been repeatedly aocued by radioal journals
With having boen the sole cause of the
deep demoralization which has marked the
whole revenue service sinoe he suoceeded
to, the Presidential chair; but little has
been said as to the Senate's agenoy in the
matter. - The simple truth is, neither the
President nor the benate have realized that
the Revenue Bureau is a great trust. Ap
pointments of assessors and collectors have
been made from political considerations alone,
and the natural oonsequenoe has been that
places of great importance and power have been
filled by incapacity and rasoality, effectively
protected in the perpetration of wrong by the
Tenure of-Office bill. Instead of these posts
being filled for reasons of fitness, they have
been filled for political reasons. Some of the
outrages oommltttd npon the people by the
Senate through these appointments are already
well known to many in the community. The
oases, however, of the five Republicans hold
ing internal revenue pouts whom the Presi
dent was absolutely compelled to suspend
under the Teuure-of-Offioe act may not be so
widely known as they deserve to be. Although
the Senate was perfectly aware that the
course of the Executive in this matter was
in compliance with tho recommendation of
Mr. Rollins, and that tbt latter official had
withstood all pressure and allowed the five
to co unchecked as loDg as the looal
publio sentiment would possibly permit, that
tody firmly refused to confirm a single one
of the suspensions, and never did do so. Of
the five, one died before legal action against
him was consummated; they were convicted
of offldUl corruption and imprisoned; and the
rtm one, Collector James, of Riohmoni
notoriety, was aotually restored to office by
the Senate with the proofs of his crime be
fore its faoe, and in face of the report against
him, made by its own Flnanoe. Committee;
and it U likely that he would have been in
the offioe to this day but for the developments
in a case tried in the adjoining district whioh
fastened guilt firmly upon him. This is but
one ont of many oases that could be quoted to
liiuavrave uie manner in wuioa these import
THE DAlin EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, MARCH 1, 18G9.
ant places have Veen nsed with ntterdlsre-l
gardfor the interests of honest oitliena or the I
extent to whioh they might be Jeopardized
and injured.
In the teleotion of a candidate for the In
ternal Revenue Commiaeionership, General
Grant must exjeot an immense pressure on
the part of the "whlf ky ring." JSrery influ
ence, of coarse, will be brought to bear, and
every expedient resorted to which human in
genuity can suggest, by those whose interest
it is to seonre a man for the place who will
lend himself, either direotly or indireetly, to
their designs. The ring are perfeotly wU
aware that, with a competent and upright
man in the office, the frauds in whisky, which
are going on to this day in the open market
and under the very none of the officials, wonld
be broken np. It is idle to talk of Mr. Rol
lins' probity or capacity while his bureau is
in the condition it is a condition of disorgani
sation and demoralization, not to say corrup
tion. It Is not much to his credit that he has
permitted his whole office to be run by a
clique who Lave recklessly trifled with the
national interests. If he had been mentally
fit for the post he has so long disgraced and
eo stubbornly held in defiance of the popular
condemnation of his conduct, the whisky and
tobaoco frauds throughout the country would
never have thriven as tbey have done; that
Is, assnming him to really be what his friends
claim that he is thoroughly honest. He
wonld have purified his aureau, broken np
the pernioions set of understrappers who
have worked the office business in their own
interest, and displaced some individuals who
are strongly suspeoted of corruption.
General Grant should understand, in making
a choice for the place, that simple honesty
alone is not sufficient. What is wanted is
combined integrity and ability ability of a
high order; and until the post is thus filled,
there will be no improvement over the pre
sent order of things. At this hour, illicit
whisky Hoods the market, even under the low
rate 01 tax, wnich it was confidently and rea
sonably expected would insure honest pay
ment upon the whole dutiable nroduotion.
With energy, determination, and ability at
the head of this bureau, there would be no
such condition of things. Let General Grant
put an honest and eapable man in Rollins
place, and the country will soon perceive the
difference between the results of an efficient
and inefficient administration.
Muilins.
From the N. Y. World.
Will the Honorable Muilins, of Tennessee,
have the goodness to let the Angel Gabriel
alone I In a general way, we have no parti
cular objection to Muilins. He is to the ave
rage stupidity and monotonousnesa of the
average radical member of Congress in this
country wbat the late Colonel Sibthorp so
long was to the average stupidity ana monoto-
nousness of the average lory member ot rarlla
ment in Great Britain. Muilins oheers as,
and. as we are clad to believe, without inebri
ating himself. Muilins sober is more muddled
and more amusing than nine in ten ot his
colleagues would be drank. Mallins on
mules, lor example, on triaay enwrtainea
the House and the country very agreeably;
and the gifts of Muilins, in the oharaoter of
"Mark Antony" pronouncing luneral orations,
have heretofore received in these columns n
stinted praise or inadequate exposition. It
would really gratify ns to have Muilins
both praise and bury the vast majority of his
fellow-members. Bat we decidedly objeot to
the interference of Muilins wich the Angel
Gabriel. In one of his "obsequious" ora
tions, the other day delivered, Muilins alluded
to the trumpet of Gabriel as a "catastrophe,"
and now in a financial speech he turns the
Archangel into an artilleryman, and declares
that certain things will not be achieved until
"Gabriel snaps his resurreotion gun !" We
pray Muilins to understand, onoe for all, tb.it
the Angel Gabriel is no radioal. His "trum
pet" is a trumpet not of self-praise but of
judgment; and, instead of cannonading the
universe, the Angel's chief connection with
our poor human hiBtory has been to anuouuoe
the coming upon earth of the Prince of Peace.
We do not require of Muilins either discourse
of reason or actions of wisdom. But we pro
test, in the name of piety and decorum,
against his irreverent and ignorant misrepre
sentation of anything more saored than the
"trooly loil" sentiment of Eastern Tennessee.
recovery of the Scond Cuba Cable.
From Hit jr. J. Herald,
It will be remembered by our readers that
the attempt of the International Ooean Tele
graph Company to lay a seoond cable between
Key west ana Havana lauea last year irom
the drifting too far to the eastward of the
steamer Narva while laying it, and the conse
quent necessity of dropping some miles from
the shore the end that was to have been
landed in Cuba. The one was buoyed, but the
buoy-rope broke one hundred and twenty
five fathoms below the surfaoe, and henoe the
necessity for grappling for the cable In the
same manner tfcat the Great Eastern grappled
for the first Atlantio cable. The work to
recover the Cuba oable was performed under
very diflerent clrcumstancB from that of re
covering the Atlantio cable. The latter lay
at a depth of one thousand nine hundred and
eighty fathoms, on a level -bottom, under still
water; while the Cuba cable was lost at a
depth of eight hundred fathoms, on an uneven
bottom, and with a vast volume of water
driving over it at an average rate of four miles
an uour.
Preparations for the work were made by
placing on the steamer New England ma
chinery similar to that used for recovering the
lost Atlantic oable on board theUreat Kastern.
Owing to the strength of the current, the grap
pling ropes were required to be unusually 1
strong. They consisted of sixteen steel wires,
each enoased in Mabilla hemp, and laid np in
strands of four each. This rope was divided
into lengths of two hundred fathoms, with
shackles and swivels between each. The
point where the cable was found was passed
over with the grapples six times, and thrice
the cable was oaught. On the first oooasion
the cable parted, through some fault in the
machinery, and the second time it parted at a
splice, a heavy Bea running. On the 15th of
February it was caught again and su joessfully
raised and landed, and now we have a donble
cable to Cuba as we have to Europe. The
operations were performed under the personal
supervision of General William .P. fmith,
President of the International Telegraph
Company, and Sir Charles Bright, Eoglneer-in-
chiei of the company. This event is another
assurance of the practicability of handling
ocean cables and laying them, and will oou
duoe to strengthen the scieuoe of ocean tele
graphy. ,
John Bright on Ocean Penny Postage.
From the If. T. Herald. ,
At a banquet of the Associated Chambers of
Commerce held the other evening ia London,
John Bright made a characteristic speech, and
urged, we are told, the importance and neces
sity of adopting the system of ooean penny

in England whose name Is so extensively
and honorably associated with reform as John
Blight. Since 1832 up until the present time

An Impudent Politician.
From lh If. Y. Herald.
Air. wcuiure wants unerai urant to ap
point to his Cabinet from Pennsylvania some
man who will keep the Repnblioan party in
that State together who will vitalize it, and
make it "pulsate." This is the true political
argument, and what these words as used by
politicians mean can be understood when
people understand MoClure. MoClure some
months ago went out to the Indian country,
and there saw how things ooald ba done in the
way of a big job. His eyes were opened be
was excited. He must get that thing in his
bands somehow. Curtin is McClure's man.
McClure pulls the wires that move Curtin in
the eyes of the publio, just as Thurlow Weed
has pulled the wires for many political pup
pets from this state. Aloulnre's plan, then,
was to make Curtin Secretary of the Interior,
and through him as suoh Secretary to get
possession of the Iudians. this is the whole
of it. This is what his oonoern for the "Re
pnblioan party" means, and this is the be
ginning, the middle, and the end of all that
he bad in view in his lndeoorous assault on
the President-elect.
Emigration to Ibe South.
From the Xf. Y. Tribune.
We receive almost every day inquiries
about Southern lands from Notlhern farmers
who want to emigrate. It is impossible fur
us to advise all these correspondents as to
particular localities, for a oountry that would
suit one would not suit all. We are glad to
perceive that the Southern railroad oompanles
have oombined to facilitate the diffusion of
information respecting these millions of rioh
acres which await thi hand of industry, and
to diffuse it, too, in the only way whioh can
be of much practical use, namely, by enabling
farmers to go ud spy ont the land for them
selves. A convention of officers, representing
between thirty and forty roads, met in At
lanta on the 4th of January, and adopted a
system ot excursion tickets, at greatly re
dnced rates, fer aotual settlers or for persons
who wibh to examine the oountry with a view
to settlement or investment. There is a vast
extent of oountry between the Potomac, Ohio,
and Mississippi rivers wbere s Killed labor
is badly wanted, land cheap, and nature
prodigal of her gifts to those who have the
industry to gatner tbem. ine regeneration
of this region we believe is to be effected by
the sturdy farmers of the North. But it has
been difficult for tbem to select nomes in me
South. The distances are grea', and fares ou
the Southern roads are very high. . This new
arrangement will remove the difficulty .
Holders of exoursion ceriinoaies win do tasen
at the rate of two cents a mile over any of the
thirty-odd roads which have joined in the
agreement, and aotual settlers at the rate of
one cent a mile. A great numoer oi leading
sissippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Vir
ginia, and ueorgia win aeauoi one-mira irom
their usual chargeB in favor of the same per
sons. MoBt of the roads in question are in
the Southwest, forming a oomplete network
from Louisville to New Orleans, Mobile, and
Charleston; but there are some also ia Vir
ginia and North Carolina.
Fuller oartioulars as to roads and distances,
and the conditions on which exoursion cer
tificates are granted, oan be obtained of G. M.
Ilnutineton. No. 229 Broadway, Hew York.
The arrangement is to remain in force until
the 1st of Jnly.
Advising General Grant.
From the If. Y. Tribune.
It has not seemed to us advisable to proffer
any counsel whatever to the President-elect as
to the formation of his Cabinet. We have
Eeveral excellent reasons for his retioenoe,
only one of which need be mentioned this,
namely, that he has not asked our advioe in
the premises. The others may or may not be
equally good, but it cannot be necessary to
adduce them.
For, while we do not question the right of
any citizen to volunteer suggestions in the
premises, and would by no means incite the
President to disregard and defy the wishes of
his friends, we do insist that his own personal
judgment and wishes should have very great
weight in the selection of those high forno
tionaries who are to be his confidential oflioial
advisers, probably thronghont his term of
service. Tbey are to be bis familiar daily
BHRoclates. his intimate, trusted counsellors;
be must rely implicitly on tneir integrity ana
fidelity; he must, to a great extent, see
through tneir eyes, remove ana appoint on
the strength of their recommendations, ana
be honored or disgraced in the publio estima
tion as tbey shall do well or ill. It may be
too -much to call them his personal or civil
taff; yet it is simple truth to say that they
stand to him in a confidential relation of in
timacy and trust which imperatively demands
that they shall be emphatically the men of
bis choice, and not imposed upon him by poli
tical combinations or personal pressure.
The administration will be known In his
tory as hi"; be most and will be Judged and
measured by its success or failure; and poa
teiity will not admit as valid the plea in his
behalf "lie would have snooeeded had be
been surrounded by the right men;" for the
ready, unanswerable retort will be "It was
bis duty as well as his privilege to be thus
surroundwd; be had no moral right to sur-
loond binmelf with others; and if he suc
cumbed to dictation and aooepted as beads of
departments men whom he did not deem fit
test for such crave resnonsibilities. be there
in proved himself uufit for his own high posi
iion."
! In saying this, we indicate no opinion on
our part that those whom the ne w President
may call into his oounolla are abler or worthier
than others whom his choice will exclude, but
only that his personal preference is entitled t
jieouliar and even paramount weight in the
choloe of Cabinet offiwrs.
