General Grant aud the Kcrenvos.
from the iV. Y. Tribune.
General Grant Las plaiul v expressed his in
tention to appoint omhaus to civil offljea, bat
this general rale does cot preclude a resort
to those militaiy m-n who have left the service,
or even to those duipiBji to leave it, ia oases
where they may t specially required. Among
other of bis gtvingf-out u this noteworthy
one, that the iuternal revenue can and shall
be fully and fairly collected. Ills thorough
knowledge of the men uuder his command is
well proved. For instance, he knew the
Btnff, and taot, and etreugth of Sherman and
Sheridan, and he kniw how to take out the
last tuck of loroe and faouHy there was in
them. In his own appointments and assign
ments to special and diffioal'. daty he never
made a mistake. These points have clearly
this bearing upon the collection of the whisky
tax at least if civilians tail him, ha has
enough of army olBoers in reserve, whom he
knows, to supply the iuteuted districts with
assessors and collector.- that will an
Bwer as with their lives for the full perform
ance of their duties without fear, favor,
or affection. The thieves may aa well take
notice. In the year I860', when the tax upon
diBtilled spirits was 2 per gallon, and the
amount oolleoted was twtmty.nine millions of
dollars, one of the largest of oar commission
merohants, who had at the time thousands of
barrels of whisky in his storehouse, said that
if the Government would give him the right
to collect the tax, he would engage to pay the
whole interest upon the publio debt. Now
this interest for that year was one hundred
and thirty-three millions, and the gentleman
referred to was at once thoroughly acquainted
with the trade; and eminently Capable of esti
mating its amount and the amount of tax
honestly due upon it. The presumption in
favor of his opinion is clear from the fact that
only sixty-seven million o( gallons should
have paid the interest, which would have left
him at least eighty millions of dollars to pay
the expenses of collection and give his profit.
If President Grant puts his resolution into
full foroe, at the present rate of duty he will
Squeeze half the inter est on our debt out of
the manufacturers and dealers in intoxicating
liquors. We expect him to do it, and to use
all the means, ordinary and extraordinary, ia
his power.
The New Administration.
fVont the Jf. X. World.
The Demooratlo party takes no interest in
the merely ceremonial and festive part of this
week's proceedings at the national capital.
It Is natural enough that the party which has
a new lease of power should express their
exultation by grand processions to be gazed
at by thronging crowds, and other customary
demonstrations of joy ; aud their vanquished
opponents are not bo ohuillsh or illiberal as
to raise objections or take offense. For the
parade and ostentation of triumph they feel
the most profound iudifl'erenoa and oontempt.
But Democrats will nevertheless watch, with
a keen interest, every development whioh
throws light on the policy of the new Presi
dent. His extraordinary retioence or wari
ness has made him an enigma, even to the
party that eleoted him. Both parties and all
seotions of the country are anxious to see the
curtain lifted and to listen to the prologue of
the drama which is about to open. It is a
play to which there is, as yet, no programme;
lor nobody regards the Chicago platform in
that light, since it has been so wantonly falsi
fied by the passage of the new constitutional
amendment, and the failure of Congress to
make any of the finanoial reforms promised
in that deceptive declaration.
The Inaugural Address ought to mark the
opening of a new era. Since the first inaugu
ration of President Lincoln we have passed
through a cycle of blood and turmoil. The
country is weary of strife; it yearns for a solid
and durable tranquillity. . It is (not by any
uoh vague exhortations as "Let us have
peaoe," or any unmeaning oommonplaoes
about the necessity of retrenchment and
economy, that the people oan be reassured,
but only some detinue outline of a pohoy.
If
ie
General Grant has any olear ideas, the time
has oome when he should give them utter
ance. If he has any kind, cheering, confiding
words for the prostrate, humbled South, the
fitting oooasion is at band for him to speak
them, even if he should thereby shook the
Republican party as he did by the liberal
terms of surrender which he conceded to Gene
ral ' Lee. If he has opinions respect
ing , the proper relation of the States
to the - Federal Government, he can
lodge them securely in the publio mind by
taking this occasion for setting forth the con
stitutional dootrines whioh have been ob
scured and discredited amid the olash of arms
and the olvil convulsions whioh followed the
war. The proper subordination of the mili
tary to the oivil authority, the necessity of
maintaining the old lines of demarcation be
tween, the three great departments of the
Government, and especially between the Ex
ecutive and Congress, are time'y topios on
which a real statesman could not fail
to give his views, at a time when the old
landmarks have been obliterated .and the
powers of his own office are ourtailed by
Congressional usurpation. If on these sub-
eots " General Grant has no opinions, or,
iaviDg opinions, lacks the oourage to pro
claim them, he will be like a mariner putting
to sea without a compass or charts, and noth
ing favorable oan be predicted of the voyage.
Sound dootrines on these subjects, expressed
with temperanoe and precision at the outset
of bis administration, would give a turn to
publio sentiment extremely favorable to tbe
"peaoe" whioh he professes to desire. Of
course, he should not propound novelties on
these great questions; but if he would repeat
with impressive brevity what may easily be
found in Webster or Story, the crude heresies
of the present peiiod might be supplanted
almost without further eflort.
Although the publio is more eager to as
certain his policy than to contemplate the
man. the extraordinary rise of the new Presi
dent will naturally oour to the minds of
his oountrymen ou the proudest day of his
life. Eight years ago, when Mr. Linooln
was inauiturated, Ulysses Grant was as un
likely a person to be one of his tuooessors as
coule have been found in the whole country.
Nothine but a treat convulsion could have
lifted bo obsoure and apparently so common
place a man, in so short a time, to so re
markable an elevation. A oommonplaoe man
he certainly is not, whatever may be thought
ef his Intellect. Hi character is surely cast
In no common mould. He has undergone the
vret trial to whioh charaoter can be bud-
lected unlooked-for prosperity, and sudden,
giddy elevation and he has stood the tebt in a
manner which would have done no discredit
totBvuiD that has ever lived. Ills head
has never been been turned by his wonderful
fortune: he -. has exhibited no levity,
no foolish vanity, none " of " the airs of
an upstart, none of the besetting weaknesses
vl parvenu ; but has borne hloiseu with
quiet and beooming reserve which, under the I
oircniuRtanceB. betokens treat solidity of ohar
-
A
aoter and an inborn sense of dignity. He
oomniKD to advantage in this reaped with
both of his Immediate predeoessors, neither of
whom rose so suddenly. Mr. Linooln was so
elated with his election, that he madeaoiroal
tons ttiampbal progress from his humble
Lome in rpiingfleld to the national capital,
delivering foolish and sometirxes rldionlous
speeches to the crowds that greeted him by
the waj; and Mr Johnson was too fond of re
peating the Btory of his rise through all the
gradations of public oflice to the highest.
General Grant has committed no such faults
of taste. Perhaps he might have done so if
he had possessed the gift of popular eloquence;
but the way he has abstained from all exhibi
tions of vanity in conversation, creates a
Btrong presumption against it. Thus far he has
given constant evldenoa of a firm, well-ballasted,
self-sustained oharaoter; and we are
glad to concede this merit to a man who has
as jet given little evidenoe of any other high
qualifications for the great oflice ia whioh he
is about to be installed.
We can reason about General Grant's Ad
ministration only so far as he supplies us with
premises. But reasoning merely from his
character, apart from his undeveloped opi
nions and polloy, our expectations would be
rather favorable. So oool, phlegmatic, self
poifed a man can never be a fanatio. He
must feel a natural contempt for those ren
lefs, demonstrative, excitable natures whose
influence has been supreme in our politics for
bo mauy years. It is not probable that he
will ever utter, or even eoho, any frothy ruo
domontade on the favorite topios of the
radicals. A man of his peculiar make is likely
to be very matter-of-fact and practical, neither
doing or eajicg anything calculated to cause
a great effervescence in the publio mind. His
administration, bo far as his personal feelings
control it, will constantly weigh like a leaden
pall npon the exoitable temper of the radical
party, and be more favorable to a return to
common sense, than if he were more brilliant
and fertile. A good copious dose of dullness
is, in eome states of the publio mind, the best
medioine that can bs administered. The
country does not seed 'to be roused or electri
fied, but quieted; and a sedate, praotical, taci
turn President is perhaps the best suited to
each a period as the present. The people
will be more easily cured of fanaticism by ab
solutely ignoring the topios that feed it, than
by any other method.
Congressional Hatus of Louisiana aud
Uevrgid.
From the A'. T. Times.
The Tribune, the other day, in its Washing
ton correspondence, announced as a fixed faot
"That the Clerk will not call the names of the
Representatives from the States of Georgia
and Louisiana on the assembling of the next
Congress."
That this purpose has been entertained, so
far as Georgia is concerned, and that the ob
ject to be effected is the retention of a full
two-thiids majority in the new House, are
matters which do not admit of doubt. The
intimation to whioh we refer was not confined
to the Tribune's columns; and its publication
was evidently intended to pave the way for a
promised resolution of the Reconstruction
committee in favor of the expulsion of the
present Georgia members. The pretext for
that proceeding, as well as for the omission
of the other Barnes from the roll of the new
Congress, was, of course, the alleged viola
tion by the local Legislature of the conditions
of restoration.
Later despatches encourage the hope that
the influence of General Grant has euflioed to
prevent the contemplated outrage. The Re
construction Committee, we are told, has for
the present dropped its intention to reopen the
question in Georgia by reoommendiug the
expulsion of its Representatives. This deci
sion, we trust, will be adhered to. For all the
purposes of the law, reconstruction has been
completed in Georgia. Its Representatives
have occupied seats in the expiring Congress,
with their title unchallenged; they have par
ticipated in its proceedings, and shared all the
privileges of the members around them. The
vote of the State in the Presidential election
has been counted; and in all essential respeots
its standing in the Capitol is as good as that
of Massachusetts or New York. To expel its
vi il w. Iiqi a nAV ttrltK 4 Via vu i aa If 1a nrnnl1
be a flagrant aot of usurpation. To direot the
Clerk not to call the names of those whom it
Bends to the new Congress, on the ground
assigned by those who urge the step, weald
be morally and constitutionally not one whit
better.
Our own correspondent recently stated
that tbe Georgia names will be omitted from
the roll on Tuesday next, "because there are
no credentials here, and there is a question as
10 wneiner mey nave ever been legally
elected." The former of these reasons, if
nothing ooour to chance it, will necessitate
the omission. The Clerk cannot call names of
which he has not been officially advised. But
neither he nor the present House has a right
to raise a question affecting the validity of the
State election. The bearers of credentials
have a prima facie title to seats; whether they
may be unseated and their places assigned to
others is a question for tbe next House to
determine, after proper scrutiny by the Eleo-
tion Committee. A right nowhere exists,, in
the meantime, to refuse recognition to mem
bers eleot because the advocates of extreme
measures, for purposes of their own, impugn
the legality of their election. Upon that
point the Republican party of Georgia is
divided; and the seotion which favors the
acceptance, by Congress, of things as they
are, seems to us more powerful and more
entitled to consideration than that which
recommends the violent measures which,
until 8aturday, the Reconstruction Committee
was disposed to press upon the House.
Tbe tame policy which, as upheld by Gene
ral Grant, has prevailed even in Mr. Bunt
well's mind, points to the inclusion of the
Georgia members in the roll to be called on
the Fourth. If is just aa important, just as
expedient, to recognize Georgia then if the
credentials of its Representatives be in the
hands of the Clerk as it is now to leave un
disturbed the title of tbe present members.
And why should Louisiana be excluded ?
The moral completeness of Its reoonstruotion
may be less obvious than that of South Caro
lina or Alabama, but in a ljgal aspect it is
quite as perfect. No proposal has been made
in its case to upset reoonstruotion and begin
anew. Its standing in the Union is unassailed
and unassailable. It is true that charges of
fiand and violence have been preferred, affect
ing the seats of some who will claim admis
sion as Jts liepreseutatives. It is, moreover,
not improbable that formal investigation may
reveal sufficient to vitiate their election.
These, however, are points to be considered
by the next House. No party oauous, no
committee now in exlstenoe, has any exouse
for passing judgment on ex parte Information
in a mauner unknown to the ConBtitutioa and
the law. Least of all may the Clerk, with
any shadow of reason or law, usurp tbe func
tions of the House or the Election Committee,
and rule out members who oan be properly
unseated only in one way.
' Tbe proceeding, whether in regard ' to
Georgia or Louisiana, would be greatly ag
gravated by its transparent partisan tendency.
From any point of view the proposition ia bad
enongn. nut to exoinae tbe States named, or
AttY..eaAftY. nam A l '
either or them, from the new Congress pend-
uK iu ruiCUi ui grave na aeiioate ques
tions, would be both indUoreet and unjust.
We shall be glad to find the good sense and
proper feeling whioh have induced Mr. Bat
well to abandon one feature ot the programme
attributed to him prevailing over the rash
oonnsels which, while unsettling the South
and alarming the country, would be perma
nently injurious to tbe party they are de
signed to I erve.
Mr. Johnson on Annj Ktiductiou.
From the N. Y. Time.
While Oongtesa is buny In reducing the
army, i resident Junuson is equally busy In
endeavoriog not to have it reduced. The
batch of promotions he lately sent in to the
oeDate memoes ttnrty-two in the navy.
twenty-one in the army above the grade of
major, and a great number below that grade
in .ue engineer corpp, oraoance corps, the
cavalry, artillery, and various regiments of
iLlantry.
Now, considering that it is proposed by
C( rgress to "make no more appointments or
promotions" in the army until the foroe is
very greatly reduced; that It is especially de
sirable to reduce and consolidate the staff.
and perhaps do away with the ordnance oorps
in us present rorm altogether; aud eonMdtir-
ing that, on the very day of these wholesale
nomira ions, the body to which be sent them
enaoted that no new appointments should be
made in tbe Adjutant-General's, the Inspector-General's,
the Paymaster's, the Quarter
master's, tbe Commissary's, or the Medical
Department (where the majority of Mr. John
son's highest nominations are made), surely
this zeal ot tne 1 resident not to reduoe the
army, though but a week remains of his term,
is remarkable. We can only compare it with
tbe well-known fact that ot the very many
officers court-martialled and dismissed from
the service during the last two years, hardly
one has failed of being reinstated on applying
to the President. Had these vacancies alone
been left, the work of consolidation would now
be far liehter.
When, however, in addition to habitually
restoring cashiered and dismissed officers, Mr.
Johnson also hurries in nominations by the
hundred, bis course becomes very singular.
Whether he regards this last feat as a parting
act of courtesy, or whether he regards army
reduction as a joke, we da not know; but it
is clear that he, at least, is determined not to
aid it, and, on tbe oontrary, will do his best
to leave as little chance as possible to his suc
cessor for "absorption and consolidation."
Commercial Morality in England and the
Lniuu States.
From the N. Y. JJerahl.
The Amerioan people rather like to expose
and comment on the faults of England and
Englishmen, and no doubt there are faults
enough to call forth censure. Nor are Eng
lishmen less ready to lash U3 Americans. But
with all tbe faults of England we must Bay
that justice is dealt out impartially to high and
low criminals alike iu tnat country, while
here rich or politically powerful scoundrels
have no difficulty in escaping tbe laws. We
might cite many examples in England during
the last few years to show how punishment
has been awatded to evil-doers in the highest
ranks of life. There is the case of Sir John
Dean Paul, a prominent banker, who was con
victed and Bent to a penal settlement in Aus
tralia, and other Bitnilar cases of the oouvio
tiou of rich and prominent mtn; and lately
there is the famous case of the Gurneys and
their partners, of the firm of Overend, Car
ney & Co. The Gurneys are au old and dis
tinguished Quaker family, of immense wealth
and of tbe hiehest social position. They were
among the oldest bankers of England, ami
hardly any equalled them in tne magnitude
of their transactions. Yet these men are
committed to take their trial for a oriminal
offense, and if there be evidence enough to
conviot them they will assuredly suffer the
vengeance of the law, just as the lowest
criminals do. It is a great point in Ergland
and with English judges to maintain the
commercial charaoter ot the country, and it is
this that has given England her high posi
tion in the commercial world. How is it with
us f We have plenty of Garneys in this city.
Our great railroad managers aud the managers
of other gigantio enterprises and companies
defraud the publio and the stockholders with
impunity. They are even honored for their
successful swindling; for here suoeess, or the
acauisition of great wealth by even the most
questionable means, is tbe highest morality
that is, It gives men tne nignesi positions.
They are the magnates of society and in the
community. They may do what they please,
and the law will never reach them. Oar
Gurnevs of Wall street are perfectly Beonre.
This is a chocking Btate of things, and until
remedied we shall stand below England in
commercial charaoter. With all the splendid
opportunities for making money in the most
profitable enterprises here people are afraid to
trust their property in tne nanas 01 our rail
road and Btockjobbing magnates. If we would
follow tbe example 01 England in punishing
great defrauders the commercial charaoter of
the country would stand much higher, and it
is time we devised some means to accomplish
that object.
, The lnsurrcc'Iou In Cuba.
From the JV. Y. lltrald.
Rrcent Washington despatches furnish
us with important information in regard
to the views of General Grant upon the
eubiect of the independence of Cuba. It ap
peats that General Van Allen, who has just
returned from a ornise among the West India
islands in the yacht Henrietta, had, during
his absence, confidential oommuuications with
leading insurgents ou the island of Uub.
1' rem information thus gathered ne lias no
doubt of the speedy success of tbe revolu
tionists All tbe tacts he obtained he com
niunicatedto General Grant upon his arrival
in Washington, when the latter openly ex
pressed his ouinion that Congress should
not only pass resolutions avowing sympathy
with the revolutionary movement iu Cuba,
but also authorizing tbe Presidei-t to reoog
Llze her independence when in bis opinion
the proper moment arrived. This declara
tion General Vau Allen was authorized to
oemmnnicate to members of Congress, and,
no doubt, was the inspiration of Senator
Kliavman'a raerl n nna In V0rrH.rr1 tn Clll&
which were presented ia the Suuate ou Satar
day and referred to the Committee on foreign
Relations. Gt-neial Grant also averred that
we owed nothing ti Soain. fr the reason
that Bbe Lai bored tbe Rebel cruUers ami
otlerwise encouraged the Rebellion during
the dark hours of our struggle for national
exUtcnce. Taking the publio expression of
inese views of the rreEldent-eieoi wuo
within a few duvs will be in a position to
enforce his opinions In connection with the
roent successes ol tbe revolutionists in iuoa,
and tne reported landing of Amerioan volun
teers at two points on the island, and it will
ue idle to deny that the doom of tbe "Queen
of the Antilles" is sealed, and that her flag
of independence will in a brief period fl ) at
irom tne towers ot tbe Morro Castle.
At this critical moment, as we learn by
Atlantio cable despatch received Sunday night,
the Spanish Government directs its Minister
to England to proceed to the United States
for the pnipose of settling any difllmtty
arising from the Cuban Insurrection. By the
time that Minister arrives here we apprehend
