from U, elf. Y. Tune.
The conpitWraiiotH which lai partisans to
view with impatience tue oowpoatt ion or the
new Cabinet are precisely the oondderatlona
whioh make it satinfacturv to the matu bodr
of the people. The politicians regard coldl,
if rot with dialike," tue application of a pria
olple which exat capacity, integrity, eifl
clenojr, instead of mere party prominence and
zeal. But In this principle the people see a
guarantee of the purity and eco'aony, the
redaction of expenditures oonourrently with
an inoreased productiveness of the revenue,
which, above all things, the country seeds.
Whether the personnel of the Cabinet re
main unchanged or not, nothing is more oer
tain than the completeness with which it re
flects the purpose of the President. la this
light, the person selected are less suggestive
than the qualities which obviously governed
their selection. There may be deoMnationa
amoT g them from one cause or another, but
the faut is established that General Grant will
have for his ohief assistants only those who
are untainted with the triokery and corrup
tion which are the bane of contemporary
politics. The speoial fitness of this member
of the Cabinet or that for the position as
signed him, is a matter about which opinions
honestly differ. Hut the trustworthiness and
general ability of every member even the
politicians have not ventured to deny. They
doubt the partisan profitableness of theooarse
pursued, but the keenest-eyed critic has
failed to detect a flaw in the individual char
acters which should abate the confidence felt
by the people in the aotion of the President.
The nominations for the Treasury and the
Interior Department especially indfoate the
soundness of the judgment he has formed in
regard to publio requirements. These are
the departments whose organization and
management most directly oonoern domestio
interests. In practical importanoe the opera
tions of the Treasury and the polioy by
whioh they are regulated exceed those of
all the other departments. There, if any
where, the sagacity of General Grant's
choice will be tested. For, in existing oir
lumatanoes, the head of the Treasury has
other duties than those of ordinary adminis
trations. Be must have the courage and
dexterity of a reformer as well as the skill
and industry of a mere administrator. The
department passes under his control reeking
with corruption. It has a host of servants
whose mingled incompetency and rasoality
entail the loss of more than a hundred mil
lions annually. So far as the law will admit
of it, this rottenness must be removed, and
a capable acd faithful servioe organized in its
place.
The advantage gained is equally strong
when'we approaoh controverted topics of tax
ation and finance. One set of fault-finders
oomplaln that the inaugural message pro
pounJs no theory of resumption, and fore
shadows no plan for paying the na
tional debt. The country does not
desire theorizing or legislation of the kind
whioh those who ride hobbies always advocate.
It wants just what General Grant suggests
th application of common sense and business
tact to affairs whioh, thus aided, time will
gradually adjust with a certainty whioh no
legislation oould attain.
Industry and commerce are sensitive npon
these subjeots. They have suffered seriously
since the close of the war from the meddling
of the Treasury ana the vacillation of Con
Kress. Attempts to hurry back specie par
ments have been productive only of disaster;
haste to pay the debt before its maturity has
necessitated oppressive taxation. There has
been nothing like fixedness or intelligent effort
in the matter; and from continual uncertainty
everybody has suffered. The course indioated
by the President will obviate these difficulties
ana eo create a feeling oi conaaenoe by whioh
all will be benefited. It establishes two points
a firm resolve to de nothing injurious to the
publio oredit, and a disposition so to foster
trade and develop the resources of the country
that the ourrenoy shall be gradually appre
ciated without resorting to contraction.
Gen. Grant means that the finances and trade
of the oountry shall be cared for by one whose
oharaoter lifts him, head and shoulders, above
the crowd of noisy politicians, and whose
practioal knowledge enables him to uphold
the publio credit while averting the folly of
hasty resumption.
The seleotion of General Cox for the Interior
department reVeals in a smaller degree a pur
pose to purge the administration of the Gov
ernment of the impuritieB whioh have grown
around it. The control of Indian affairs will
enable the Secretary to inaugurate reforms
that will have the double recommendation of
retrenchment and humanity. II is politioal
allianoe, are perhaps stronger than those of
any other member of the Cabinet, with the
exoeption of Mr. Creswell or Mr. Washburne;
but the fact that he was not the nominee of
politicians, in conjunction with his high char
acter, justifies the belief that partisan reasons
will not greatly influence his conduot.
The stern estimate of duty which has gov
erned General Grant's choice, and has dic
tated the. rule by which' any other nomination
will doubtless be regulated, may not be with
out occasional disan vantages. The partisan
ship whioh chafes under indifference may ba
expected to assert itself when opportunity
offers. The unwillingness of the Senate to
repeal the Tenure-of-UlIioe act Is not destitute
of significance in this connection. Mr. Sum
ner's objection to immediate compliance with
the reoommendatiou in Mr. Stewart's favor
should Boarcely be imputed to the same
motive, for the importanoe of the piinciple
involved may well excuse the referenoe to a
committee; but It is not probable that partisan
feelins will show itself in the final decision
As against these drawbaoks, the President
miv vlaoe the confidence which the principle
he proceeds upon will Avaken in the national
mind, and the more than partisan strength
whioh that confidence will confer.
Queries for Washburne.
from the if. r. World.
There seems to be throughout the country
a noimlar superficial emotion in favor of the
plan, copied by Mr. Jenckes from the admin
fatrative systems of certain foreign govern
ments. which requires candidates for govern
ment employment to undergo an examination
to test the fitness of the aspirant for the office
he seeks. We see no good reason why the
system should not apply to heads of the da
nartments as well as the bands and feet. I
wonlt be an entertaining spectacle to see and
hear our new Secretary of State undergoing
examination at the hands of a master of inter
national law like Mr. Caleb CUBhlng or evu
Mr. Sumner. They would probably begin
something like this:

from the N. Y. Tribune.
The old definition of an ambassador would
seem to need revisal; for if the example of Mr.
Beverdy Johnson is to pass into a preoedent,
our diplomatic servants must be considered as
gen tit men sent abroad to digest in behalf of
their country. If we had the requisite leisure
we should, to show our sense of Mr. Reverdy
JohnEon's services, compile and publish a
complete oatalogue of all the banquets In Eng
land at which be has assisted, adding thereto,
possibly, a compend of the bills oi fare. Ao
coTding to the latest intelligence reoeived, Mr.
Reverdy Johnson has been dining In Glasgow,
where his powers of digestion were probably
tried by that well-known Sooteh dish, cele
brated by Burns as the
"Great chieftain of the puddln' race."
The poet deolares that he who feeds upon
haggis becomes exceedingly valiant and war
like:
"Clap In bis walie nleve a blade,
Hb'U make It whissle,"
It is well that Mr. R. Johnson partook of this
stimulating, valor-provoking, and fight-producing
esculent at the end instead of the
beginning of his diplomatio oareer, tor other
wise we might at this moment nave been
breaking Mr. Bull's bead, as he might have
been breaking ours. Mr. Laird wasn't "reck
less" enough to feed Mr. R. Johnson on suoh
a terrible dish before the signing or. ine treaty.
Upon the whole, we fancy that our full-fed
Plenipotentiary win be giaa to come nome.
He has eaten the dinners pluokily, but there
is a limit to the powers of the human stomach,
and there is also a dreadful complaint called
dyspepsia, which causes, as we have been In
formed, the most intense agony of whioh the
abdominal regions are susceptible. Mr. R.
Johnson may not have had it yet, bat if he
escapes after "the haggis" in Glasgow, it will
be by a special interposition of Divine Provi
dence, whioh he has no good reason for count
ing upon.
From the report of Mr. Reverdy Johnson's
speech at Glasgow, It is evident that the haggis
or something else must have got into his Kx-
cellenoy's head. We trust that we do him no
injustice, but our opinion is, when he talked
his last talk to Scotchmen, that the mountain
dew, the hot water, and the tumblers must
have' been for some time npon the festive
board. We think so because there was in Mr.
R. Johnson's oration what the North British
Mail styles "a strong infusion of balderdash,"
although we have never heard it called by
that name before. Moreover, Mr. R.Johnson
(in this respeot resembling Mr. A. Johnson)
indulged on this occasion in rather strong
theological expressions, such, for instance, as
"God knows what England would be without
Scotland;" "Heaven knows what would be-
oome of you." Our deduotion from the repe
tition of these pious phrases is that the whisky
was uncommonly potent. No wonder the
Scot oh newspaper speaks of "the gushing
oharaoter of the discourse."
But this diplomatio old gentleman, doubt
less having a reoolleotion of Anaoreon in his
mind, did not forget in his cups to pay a
proper compliment to the bonny Hootch
lassies "women to be proud of," as Mr. R.
Johnson gallantly observed, thus reminding
ns of Miss Snevellicoi'B papa at the bridal
banquet, when he deolared that he "loved
em every one, including the married laaies,"
to the intense disgust of Mr. Lulyviok.
'Scotchman," said Mr. R. Johnson, "without
ScoU-h women, what a poor, miserable set
you would bet" . If there had been any of
these estimable female creatures piesent at
the moment, we have reason to believe that
Mr. K. Johnson would have winked at them
"winked openly and nndisgnisedly; winked
with his right eye." "They are not here,".
said Air. ti. Johnson; "iwish they were." Oh,
the gallant Plenipotentiary !
How this "joound gentleman" (for so he is
styled in the journals) will ever be able to go
through with the melancholy business of bid
dmg his convivial friends In Great Britain
farewell passes our comprehension, especially
if a bevy of beautiful BiitUh Amazons should
be on guard at the pier to prevent his em
barkation, lie will have to oome away in
me mgm. ne will be lorced to leave incog
nito. When he lands in this serious and
rather desolate land, which he has been so
convivlally representing abroad, we must
make sure to have a bauquet ready and wait
ing for him. Compared with British proven
der, we shall har.ily have anything better
than funeral baked meats to offer, 4at Mr. R.
Johnson semis to be of such facetious power
that doubtless be can impart a relish even to
a dinner of herbs.
Genual Grant ami IUh Administration in
a KrligiiMis View. -
Prom the Jf, 1". Herald.
The various religons denominations of the
United States, and especially the members of
the powerful Methodist lipisoopal Church,
have great faith in General Grant and in the
prosperity of the Gospel under his adminis
tration. The General's father is a Meihodiat,
his mother is a Methodist, his wife is a Metho
dist, and through these channels the General
Llmeelf is well rea-oned with wholesome reli
gious convictions. We believe he has not
been converted aooordlng to the Methodist
ritual he hat not passed through the ordeal
of mourning for his sins and that joyooj
sense of forgiveness and that ohange of heart
thtongh the Holy Ghost which casts off the
old man Adam and makes the believer happy
in the faith; but he la 'still in the way of sal
vation, and that's a great deal in these days
of skepticism, materialism, and unbelief.
Thus, although the General likes to ride be
hind Bonner's fast horses and goes to balls,
and although in "swinging round the
circle" of our institutions he may drop in for
an hour or so at the Black Crook, the opera
and the opr'ra louje, he still likes mother'a
church and all the ohurohes, and Bets a good
example as an honorary member by availing
himself of every opportunity to go to ohuroh.
He attended the other day the consecration in
Washington of a new Mtthodlst ohuroh, and
his presence was hailed at a good sign for the
prosperity of that church and all tbe ohurohes
under his administration.
Seoondly. This idea has been and will be
strengthened in every praying household olr
ole in the nation, by the oloaiDg request of the
General's inangnral, in whioh he asks the
efforts of every citizen in the work of "cement
ing a happy Union," and "the prayers of the
nation to Almighty God in behalf of this happy
consummation." General Grant is a believer
in prayer. He reoails an incident said te be
connected with aoritioal period in the conven
tion of the fathers engaged in framing the Con
stitution. We think it was on the everlast
ing nigger question that the convention was
bronght to a deadlock. They knew not what
to do, when good old Ben Franklin, as the
tradition goes, proposed the last resort of
prayer. It was tried, and the convention re
turned to its work and a compromise was
efleoted, including the oontlnuanoe of the
African flave trade for twenty years, which
restored peace in the convention and esta
blished the Union. As we look at it now, that
compromise was an awful mistake; but union
was the first essential, and as they were
situated an adjustment oasting the deadweight
of slavery npon Sambo, including the African
slave trade a New England plum was the
best that could be done by the fathers. They
did not think slavery would last long, and
they would have gone, no doubt, for speedy
abolition bad they dreamed of Whitney's
cotton gin, Calhoun, and Jeff. Davis. Jeffer
son, however, bad his misgivings, and they
have all come true. But now, with slavery
abolished and equal rights provided for, ex
cept in the matter of the spoils, to reds, yl
lows, black b, and whites, General Grant with
a clear conscience may ask the prayers of the
nation for "a oemrnted Union" with the
cement of liberty, equality, a ad fraternity;"
for is he not to all oi us now "a man ana a
brother ?"
The third branch of our disoourse is the
presentation to General Grant from the Ame
rican Bible Society, on the 4th of March, of a
splendid copy of the Holy Bible. The com
mittee consisted of Chief Justice Chase, Sen
ator Frelinghuyten, and George U. Stuart, of
Philadelphia, the very man the identical
Scotch-Irish Presbyterian who poor McClure
was afraid had been singled out as the Penn
sylvania man for the new Cabinet. The Chief
Justice presented the Bible (magnlfioently
bound in Turkey morooco), and in the name
of the soolety be expressed the hope that the
new administration would be guided by its
teachings. The General accepted the gift
with thaLkfulness, and promised to preserve
it and hand it down to his children in comme
moration of the day. Nor have we the
shadow of a doubt that, when puzzled and
worried out of his lite by clamorous politicians
and hungry office-seekers, he will turn to its
pages for enlightenment, and will be greatly
strengthened thereby. He will find in the
faith of Abraham and Ifaao, in the great mis
fortune of Eaa and in the treachery of Jaoob,
in the trials and triumphs of Moses, the great
leader of Israel to the Promised Land, in the
violssitudes of Saul and David, in the gor
geoue reign of King Solomon, in the revolt of
the ten tribes, and so on, and in the wisdom
of the Provtrba and in the warnings of the
Prophets an invaluable fund of instruction;
but, best of all, in the teachings of the meek
and lowly Nizarene, and in His power of heal
ing the sick, restoring the blind and oasting
out devils, will the President find comfort and
encouragement.
We speak to a congregation greater than
that whioh Moses led dry shod aoross the Red
Sea; and we would warn them that, in advo
cating the payment of the five twenties in gold.
General Grant does not, like the High Priest
Aaron, when Moses was up in the mountain.
intend to set up a golden oalf as the god of
Israel. That calf already is the god of Wall
street, but it will be knocked In the head when
we oome to speoie payments, uar new Presi
dent, to Bum up, will give a great impulse to
the cause of religion, from the living principles
thereof which are fixed in his charaoter and
from his outward manifestations as a believer.
He may not oome up to the mark of the Massa
obneetts puritan, but be is weioome as a
brother in Plymouth Churoh. Most of our
Presidents have been Episcopalians or Presby
teriana. Jefferson was a philosopher, Van
Buren was a Dutoh Reformer, and old Zaok
Taylor, we believe, was a hard-shell Baptist
The Methodists, with General Grant as their
champion, have now something over whioh to
shout halleluiah; but, as the President repre
sents all the people, so he represents all the
Churohes. He comes in, too, with the sublime
idea proclaimed with the star of Bethlehem,
which was "Peaoe and good will to men;" for
is not his motto the same "Let us have
peace?"
Mexico Her Condition and Our Policy,
from the If. Y. Htrald.
Mexico stands in our way stands in the
way of the civilized world. Were she at the
southern extremity of our continent the tide
of progress would sweep by her and give her
an opportunity, by centuries oi siow upward
movement, to reaoh a comparative civiliza
tion. As it is, the world cannot wait for this
long process of national regeneration, and
consequently the Mexican problem to us be
comes of great political interest. No one can
deny that she has made great strides onward
since the days of the Spauish viceroys; but it
has been an advance from the most abjeot to
comparative misery. She has had one long
and desperate struggle for nearly half a cen
tury to rid herself of the civil, religious, and
military fueros whioh clung to her after her
independence. She has tried three oonstitu
tiocs, her theoretical liberal efforts cnlmina
ting in that of 1857, which is in many respects
supejior to our own as a fundamental code.
the has been placed by the desperate retro
grade effort of the Imperialists back where she
was in 1801, when she finished her grand final
battle with the clergy for the support of libe
ral as opposed to ecclesiastical principles.
We find her to-day with no two elements of
taual strength whioh oau meet eaob other lor
a great internal struggle. The liberal theories
are triumphant; the church party dead after a
tremendous conflict; the constitution of 1857
restored, and an attempt being made to gather
well in band her moral and religious wreoic,
her political and social degradation, and her
financial dishonesty and ruin. But there are still
many elements left in Mexico pregnant with
local trouble. In the north she has a vast and
desolate territory in ereat part overrun by
savage Apaohe and Camanohe Indians, who
have swept off the herds from every estate far
into Central Durango and Narthern Zacateoas.
The minlnr machinery has been dtstroyed by
the raiders and the mining towns are in ruins.
a nair-Btarved, miserable, nd ignorant popula
tion is Bhtverinir under adobe wall. iamu-
lipas is a stronshold of bandits, and is alter
naUly In the hands of Canales or Cortina.
Sonora and Sinaloa are slven over to rival
feudal families. Co&hniU belooes almost en
tirely to the two brothers Sanchez. San Luis
Potosl contains sincle estates of the size of
Delaware, where one-half of the Inhabitants
are In rags, the other half naked, and the
whole of them living more like beasts than
bkv huiuau beluga, fcyuth western alexloo is
held by Loaaao, an loaiau cuw, who does
more or less as suits bis Ideas of government.
He controls some ten thouaaud brave war
riors, and forms an Integral part of the repub
lic Guerrero la the seat of power of the
Alvares family, who obey and disobey the
central authority and oolleot taxes as best sniu
their fiaanoial condition and Ideas. Yucatan,
a vast Indian county, Is a constant aouroe of
trouble, and ever a frulttul point of local pre
nunciumientoi. In Mexloo we find oeriain
points held, like those of the middle ages in
Europe, by soma robber chieftain, who laughs
at the general government.' As an instance,
we cite the Laguneron, under uomaies ur
rera, who have often desolated Southeast Chi
huahua, Southwest Coabuila, and even threat
ened, in It-67, the populous city of Saltillo.
Throughout the oountry we find that bad gov
ernment has absolutely driven a naturally
honest people to wholesale plunder and devo
lution, i he one-stxteentu part opauisn nioon
of Mexico is a mixture productive of the most
undesirable results, and has In reality been a
barrier to the civilization of the naturally
talented Mexican Indian.
We have sp"ken ot the Constitution of 1857
as an admirable document. Praotioe, how
ever, proves that it is not adapted to the oou
ditiou of the Mexican poople a.j we find them.
it does not tit tbem, and as a mass they oannot
understand what it means. Even the acknow
ledged rulers direotly disobey its provisions,
as witness the Vera Cruz and Mexico Rillivay
coDcest-lon lately given, the unalienated peon
8 j stein that praclioally exists on all great
estates, and the intense State rights rule whioh
marks every provincial government. The
Cunstltntiou abolishes internal custom houses,
and yet that system is still continued to the
entire ignoring of its effeots on trade and the
tendency te crush out every effort at Internal
improvement. Mexico should export the
products of her magmlioent sou, and yet
her exports are scarcely an ounce.
She depends entirely npon her silver mines.
These are suffering terribly under the
weight of a taxation that almost pro
hibits their working. In the time oi the
viceroys be mines paid a royal fifth; to-day.
before the silver reaches a market, it has paid
in numerous classified taxes from twenty-three
to twenty-five per cent, on the gross prod act
of a mine. The result is plain. If capitalists
invest one hundred thousand dollars la a mine
and take out one hundred and twenty thoa
sand, they pay thirty thousand dollars taxes,
and therefore lose ten thousand in the invest
ment. In any other oountry the same mine
would pay well. This is an example of the
way Mexico crushes the only industry she
chioses to rely npon. Still another misfor
tune for that land whose geograph'oal position
is the finest on the globe she Is as yet in
tensely feudal. This is the element that
most prominently stands in the way of her
progress and civilization. The lands of Mexloo
are in the hands of a few great holders who
have their baronial residences and, to all
intents and purposes, their feudal retainers
They pay no direct taxes npon their estates,
and therefore can constantly add to their own
landed wealth, while at the same time they
lnorease the poverty and misery or the poor
people who are forced to live on these estates.
Ttese feudal lords generally have little
stomach for the eduoatlon and improvement
of the masses. When some olear-headed and
philanthropic individual makes an attempt to
better the condition of these serfs, a raid of a
few hundred desperadoes breaks up the
establishment and the effort disappears, while
he who makes it is consigned to poverty, as
instance the fate of General Miguel Blanoo,
m Tamauiipas, in isob.
J he exterior nuances or Mexloo are soaroely
better than the interior, without mention'
ire her ninety five millions of European in
debtedness, she has never made a reasonable
eflort to reimburse those citizens of the
United States who, from pure sympathy for
ner cause, mrnishea her munitions of war
during the struggle against the empire and
took her bonds in full payment. These bonds
are now icaroely worth ten oents on the dollar,
and the coupons due are not yet paid. This
is one among the many cases of what may be
teimea aiexioan gratitude.
Thus we have pictured in part the condition
of Mexico. 'Tis a sad one, but it is an im
provement over the days when. Spain ruled
there, improved however much it may be.
it is undoubted that it will take many, very-
many years lor the oountry to move in that
unison with us whioh the times imperatively
demand. Does she populate her frontier f
Does she move under the same impulse that
we do f Does she, as contiguous territory,
help the development of Texas, New Mexloo,
and Arizona f One-third part of United States
territory may be said to depend for its pro
gress spon the development of Mexico; there
fore we repeat that Mexloo stands in our way.
We cannot give her time to join after her own
fashion in the great march; for the law of
Jirogrets is inexorable, and the weaker and
eeser civilization must go down before the
greater. We sympathize with her, for her up
ward struggle has been noble, and she has
accomplished very muoh, and more in the
same time than most ot the European na
tions; but she cannot advance with sufficient
rapidity now to meet the demands of her geo
eraphical position, and must give way to the
people that are better able to prepare her for
her future. The world and modern progress
demand that we should take control of her,
and we must do it. With her we must com
mence a military colonial system, gradually
eradicating the existing evils, and finally,
when properly prepared, admit her to the
benefits of the Union.
