Cuba The Insurgents Abolish 81arorj fWmihejy. r. Herald. Tbe reTolatlonlaU In Cuba hare At length bit tbe keynote to suooms in deoreeing tbe abolition ot tlATery. Bj telegraph we learn that this decree was leaned in tbe Central De partment by the insurgent Assembly of Re presentatires, And that tbe freednien may either become soldiers or remain cultirators Of the soil. The effeot of this deoree mast be damaging to tbe interests of the whole western end of the Island, where, as yet, the patriot effort has met with email sncoeas. It will eaase a great commotion Among the thickly settled districts, And must aot as it Acted upon cur territory when Mr. Llnoolu issued his emancipation proclamation, and thus broke the baokbone of our rebellion. The insurgents now propose to oonoentrate their forces And establish tbe headquarters of their government near Santiago de Cuba, in the southeastern part of the island. Thus the revolution ia every day beooming more con solidated And of firmer texture. There is sow but one direction for it, And that ia on ward; for every hatred that ever existed or lias been created in the Cubans by Spanish jniarule has full opportunity to vent itself and find redress. The efforts of the Spanish troops to suppress the movement are every day be ooming more impotent. The rage of the "vol unteers" tbe wreckers of Cuba, as they may Tery justly be termed is venting itself in Wholesale slaughter that would disgrace even the Government of Eogland in its East India jnassaores. The Spanish troops are Also com mitting great outrages upon the plantations, &iid A war of desolation appears to already exist. We have often stated that this would le the polioy of Spain when she found that there was no longer a hope of clinging to the Island. When the leaves it of her ewn aooord It will be when this rioh treasure house has een oompletely wrecked and given over to ' Internal Anarchy. It beoomes a very serious matter for the United States to consider our present and future relations to the island of Cuba, And sot At onoe with referenoe to our interests. jBvery day destroys what it will take time And millions of dollars to build up Again after the Island comes into our hands. It is not for the interest of this continent that we should per mit any European power to desolate any part Of our territory. In the first plaoe, there is no Sense in the idea that a nation in this age has a right to possess a colony. It is in opposi tion to every ruling and civilized principle of the nineteenth century. Much less right has Any power to desolate a foroibly held colonial possession, when that colony desires to have What we claim is due to all mankind a gov ernment of its own, where every section can 9e represented in common with all the other districts or provinces of the government. Cuba has never had this. The only privilege she has received is that of supporting old Spain in her indolence, ignorance, and arro gance. mat Business Men Ask. From the N. Y. Tune: The merchants, bankers, and business men Of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Chi cago reoently petitioned, simultaneously, for the enactment of a law regulating the transac tions of the Treasury with reference to bonds nd gold. They asked "that hereafter all purohases or sales of the loans and bonds of the United States, on acoount of the United States, shall be made by inviting publio com petition through advertising for proposals;" and that "all sales of gold, for aooount of the United States, shall be made at publio auotien hj an authorized official of the Treasury De partment" after projerly Advertising the time and plaoe. The petitions to this effeot xeoeived the signatures of the leading firms nd banking officials of the cities named, and undoubtedly rellect the intelligent business opinion of the oountrv. Mr. Hooper's bill, which passed the House j Without delay or difficulty, but was quietly smothered by the Finance Committee of the Senate, effectually met these requirements. Its Adoption by the Senate would have pre vented much soandal, and saved the large Sums which favored brokers now reoeive for doing the work of the Treasury officials. Its efficacy In these respects, we suspect, had something to do with its fate; though the ao . oompanying prohibition of all increase of the fold-interest-bearing debt doubtless oontri uted to Mr. Sherman's hostility. It is to be hoped that this or some similar measure will be inolnded in the work of the present feasion. Its objects harmonize with Mr. Boutwell's views, as understood, but his administration of the Treasury will be (Strengthened If they take the form of law. The Administration. from theN.Y, Timet. The 'machint ry of the new administration Is getting into working order, and the opera tions of the Government go forward with vigor nd despatoh. The Treasury Department, Which is now and must be for some time to come the most important of all, Is in exeellent hands, and the Internal Revenue Department Is under clear, vigorous, and upright control. Mr. Boutwell is universally recognized as An executive officer of unusual ability And as baying been qualified by past experience, as vell as polit o it Btudies, to Administer the Tairs of that branch of the publio servloe with great en trgy and buco bb. Mr. Delano, the new Commissioner of Internal Revenue Is making himself familiar with the wants and necessities of that important branoh of ad ministration, and will goon be in a condition Jo PPl U tb. reforms which it requires. All the departments are greatly embar rassed, as is unavoidable at the outset of a new administration, by the multitude of ap ' plications for office. All the Secretaries have caused it to be understood that they do not Intend to enter upon any sweeping system of removals, and that officers throughout the jf country whose record of service proves them to have been faithful and efficient in the dis charge of their dt ties will not be disturbed. This course Is not only just in itself, but it is absolutely essent'al to the progress of publio business in any of the departments. Cod side ring the difficulties and embarrass ments encountered by General Grant at the outset of his administration, it is rather mat tar of anrurioa that tha-w hira Vutan .a nrnmntl. - 1 j - r 1 j and so thoroughly surmounted. Every de partment oi vne uoverament is aireaay in vigorous and successful operation, and every thing, In All of them, goes on with smooth And Steady success. General Longstreet'a Appointment. From tstN. r. Time. As was to be expected, considerable hos tility Is manifested to the Appointment of ex-General Loogstreet, of the Confederate rmj, to a high office in New Orleans. It seems to be in the main confined to the Union men of the Bonth those, thAt Is, who claim to liXfi been Union men throughout the war. ( tt U PJJust to UWM who never at any time favored the Rebellion, that their I claims sbould be set aside in favor of thoie I who became Union men only after thatr MMnn4 -fr. . t n - V. mmr ITnlnn tiari ' UIUJUBI VUVI VD IV W I T' I U I " wwv failed. However sealons General Longntreet may have been in support of the Union sinoe the suppression of the Rebellion, he was still, during all that struggle, one of the most aealous and efficient generals of the Rebel army; .and he ought no to wait until the merits of tho who sacrificed everything in support of tbe Union, while he was endea voring to destroy it, have been reoognlzd and rewarded. Looking at the matter as one of striot Jus tice, it is not easy to question the truth of this Statement of tbe case. But General Grant evidently regards tbe action taken rather with reference to its effaot in allaying resent ment and restoring peace to the South, thaa its oonformity to what would seem to be ex actly and rigidly Just. The work to be done now is of a praottoal sort, and the measures adopted are to be Judged by their bearing opon it. The very faot that General Loogstreet, known to have been one of the foremost generals of the Rebellion, has been appointed to Federal offloe, on aooount of the frank manner in whioh he has aooeptel the results of the war. and the zeal aud sin cerity with which he has sought to onrry into effeot the subfiennent a tlnn ni ihnn. ernment, will satisfy the South that the war m uvrr, nut tuai n ia no longer toe policy ot the Government to ostraoize men for bavin, while it lasted, been enemies of the Union; but that they will be judged by their oonduct since it ended, rather than the share they took in it while it was going on. This will at once disabuse the Southern mind of apprehen sions which have done great misohief to the Union cause in that seotion, and operate as a Btronir encouragement tn a nnnllil onl (T. tive support of the Government. ine amnesty granted by Mr. Johneon, if not made void either by the aotion of Congress or of the Courts of law, will open the way te a TJOlIflT of cnnnilt&tlnn nf vti.k Ik. ....I.i r j v . u.vu uo njuiu ment of General Longstreet is a good illustra tion, and whioh will work a very great change in the temper and prospeots of the Southern The Wild limit. From the If, Y. World. There are some fears of Mr. Grant sharing the fate ef Aotapon, who was eaten by his own dogs. Advices from Washington represent the noble army of loll as mad aud frantio for place. Five hundred outs, says one aooount, are clamoring to supplant one in. Colfax has had to run away, says another acoount. Still a third has it that members of either house are snowed in with a heavy and still-falling shower of notes, cards, memorials, and letters. Delano is out, in a recent issue of the Times, with a piteous appt-a1, for God's sake stay away. There is "each an overwhelming ava lanohe of applications as substantially to block all the business of the department." In one word, it seems that every other man who voted for Grant is in person or by letter urging the wild hunt. And for Grant him self. Poor man, they say it is having some effect even upon him. Drops wear the rook, and even that sullen self-sofficiency, already rudely shaken by the Stewart business, is giving way. Like prarie wolves encompass ing a crippled buffalo bull, the beggars belea guer him. With each new accession the hunger of the rest receives an impetus, and unless some bones be thrown them, they will wear out the bull at last. Then what will become of us? Our Moses, with his cigar as a cloud by day And a pillar of fire by night, will have gone hence, and who then is to lead us into the promised land? Who let us have peaot? Lash 'em off of him, some of you there in Washington. Either they will kill him, and so rob us of our daily blunder, or they will prove that they gave him something some time, and this will rob ub of our dail v bread. A Precedent for the Stewart Case. From their. Y. World. The nomination, confirmation, and resigna tion of Mr. A. T. Stewart are already fast passing into the schedule of ancient history. particularly with the administration and its friends, who have no tears to shed over past failures In their anxiety to avoid making new faux-pas. But it may be well to note the fact that Mr. Stewart's case was not without a preoedent, were it only for the sake of enforcing the truth that his fitness or unfitness to hold the offloe for which he was nominated was a ques tion quite as much of propriety as of legality. It is rather odd that this precedent should have been entirely overlooked, at least in the Senate. President Taylor, shortly after bis inaugu ration, nominated Samuel J. Peters to be Col lector of the port of New Orleans. The avooa tions of the nominee, unlike those of Mr. Stewart, were but little known beyond the limits of the city in whioh he resided. But they were well known to the then Senator from Louisiana, P. Soule, upon whose sug gestion, that the nominee imported brandy, the nomination was promptly rejected. But the rejection was not placed upon the ground of ineligibility in Mr. Peters. It was deemed iviproper to place in office a man who might be tempted to abuse it. Like Mr. Stewart, Mr. Peters had all the legal qualifications requisite in a nominee, And, being the leader of the Whig party of New Orleans, possessed of a handsome private fortune, and fired with politioal ambition, he might well have abandoned his grocery busi ness if the Senate had confirmed him; but that body preferred to aot upon the injunction, "Lead us not into temptation." The Opportunity of a Statesman. From the N. Y. Tribune. The graceful and wise little speech made the other day by Mr. John C. Breckinridge, on the occasion of his return, after a tour years exile, to his old home, suggests the work for whioh the oountry looks to this gen tleman, and which, as we hopefully trust, it may yet receive at hid hands. ere8 man n0Be career in the servloe i .J Tie?nient WM exceptionally success ful and brilliant, whose oareer in warfare A W" oarw,1r 18 conspicuous, aud 7 wlfe!Uu.8 t0 nm tu datle? of loyal and faithfn citizenship at an age when most men are only reaching the full maturity of their powers. The grandson of Thomas Jefferson'S Attorney-General, aud of one of the earliest United States Senator, from Kentucky 'h. inherited devotion to the publio servloe with h wme?. Vd leaDed tL love ot Ut Union with the lessons of his childhood. At twenty-five he was major of a Kentucky regiment in the war with Mexico; at twenty six he was oounsel for General Pillow, in the remarkable difficulties in which that offloer was involved; at twenty eight he was a mem ber of the lower house ia the Kentuoky Legis lature; at thirty he was a Representative in Congress, having defeated ia the canvass so popular a Kentuekian as Leslie Combs; at thirty-two he was again returned to Congress After An exciting contest, in which he defeated Gov. Robert Letcher; at thirty-four he was Vice-President of the United States, aud at thirty-seven he was the nominee of one wing of tbe dominant party for the Presidsao. The youngest and most favored man In the oountry who had ever run such a ronmt of official honors up to the very ver of the high est preferment, he chose, in 1861, to link his fortunes with the section that had no earnestly supported him for the I'r-sl ienor And entered the Confederate serviie. At thirty-eight, the man who thirteen years be fore had served the Government as a soldl-r on A foreign soil, was a mjir general In the armies that strove to break up th Govern ment and at forty-two he was the Secretary of War of the insurgent Confederacy. Then followed a dreary four years of exile, and now. In his forty-ninth year just at tbe age whn such men are entering upon the full and ripe maturity of their powers vigorous, and yt capable of a li etime's work this soldier of the Mexican war, Congresman, Vice-President, goes baok to his native btate. What shall be do to make returns for past honors what to make amends for past errors ? lie goes to a State that idolizes him, aod finds her, badly preeminent among all the sisterhood, brooding over the ashes of the Re bellion, and seeking: to nurse their nmo1d..r(n beat into another flame. She still cherishe topes oi payment for property in human beings, if not of an aotual reconversion of them into property. She still denies eqtaltty before tbe law to a large olasB of her citizen. She still licences any white ruffian to outrage or murder a negro's wife before his eyes, and refuses to take the negro's testimony against the oriminal. To every step in the nation's progress toward freedom, harmony, and peaoe, she opposes her utmoet resistance. In every possible way, and with an amazing pertinacity, she cherishes, in the midst of the new li e of the Republio, the spirit of the slave-hunts, the civilization of tbe dark ages. Throughout the whole limits of tbe late Rebellion, there is not to-day a State bo rebellious, in spirit or act, as Kentuoky. Neutral, so far as she could be, during the war, she is now hostile, as far as she can be, when the whole nation is crying for peace. Yet her favored sou is the returned Vice-1 'resident of the Union and Secretary of War of the Rebellion. Popular always from his earliest entranoe on politioal life, he is now far more popular than ever. Heretofore he his beau the leader of a party in the State; now he may be, if he ohroeep, the leader of the State. We hear and believe Uat Mr. Breckinridge comes baok animated only by hopes of union, prosperity, and peace; that he earnestly de sires the accepts uce, ia good faith, of the results of the war as final, the cessation of strife, the growth of fraternal feelings, the dismissal of old subjects of dispute, and a new politioal departure; that he fro wns upon every expression of a desire to renew the struggle for the "lost cause;" aud that for himself he looks for no future save in the growing greatness of the nation he onoe songtit to destroy. ,That nation has freely pardoned him all his errors. Will he not, iu return, use his influence in her behalf among these disaffeoted Kentuokians, who almost worship bim, and are sure to fol low with enthusiasm wherever he may lead the way ? His first appearance in Congress was as the eulogist of Henry Clay. Will he not now emulate that great man's fame, take up his mantle, aud plead, with an eloquenoe not unworthy audiences that still remember the silver-tongued Barry of the West, for recon ciliation and harmony, aud union and peace ? We want to see it acknowledged in Kentuoky that loyalty to the Uuiouwa net a orime, nor even a cause for political disabilities or social Ortraoism. We want to Bee the spirit of Rebel lawlessness laid. We want to see the efforts to retain, in the guise of apprenticeship or Otherwise, some of the worsi features of the system of slavery, abandoned. We want to see tbe binding eff-ct of the Civil Rights bill frankly and manfully aooepted. We want to see negro testimony admitted In the courts, not bb better thau a white man's, but pre cisely like a white man's, for whatever the circumstanoes and the previous charaoter of tho witness may show it to be worth. Above all, we waut to see the old spirit of loyalty and devotion to the Union onoe more the characteristic of this Commonwealth of glorious memories'. Mr. Breckinridge, more than any other citizen, more almost than all her other prominent citizens, oan help to bring back his native State to the fidelity ef her better days. He is himself the best judge as to the mode in whioh his Influenoe shall be exerted. "Sager now than in his fortunes," he may well be trusted, for that. What the country has a right to expect of him is that in some way, and at the fit ting time, he will make this influence felt. The Internal Revenue Office Clique at Washington. From the W. Y. World. ' The new Commissioner of Internal Revenue may be said to have now fairly entered upon the duties of his offioe, and the oountry, without respect to party, will which with deep interest the course he intends to pursue. One of the first steps, if not the first, whioh due regard for tbe publio welfare should constrain Mr. Delano to take without unnecessary delay is the complete and effectual breaking up of the scandalous Harland-Parnell-Johnson clique, which has ruled the office from the hour that Mr. Whitman left his seat as deputy and Mr. liarland sucoeeded to it. Of All the cliques which govern departments and de partment bureaus at Washington, none have ruled with so high a hand as this. The com pactness of Its organization, its uninterrupted Buooess. and its long existence are due to Mr. Rollins' weakness of will and incapacity for judging human obaraoter. This ring has unfailingly oarrled its points, simply because its members have held every one of the chief positions in the plaoe. It has foroed good men out of the office and brought bad ones in. Holding control of the promoting power, it has even made that pos session the means ef increasing its strength and prolonging its existence. It has had its favorites, who were advanced over the heads of others in total disregard of justice; and its spies, who were rewarded as that class generally are under similar ciroumstanoes. It has ridden rough-shod over the rights and interests of tax-payers, used its authority with arrogance, retaliated in a petty manner upon those who had the spiilt to protest against its treatment, and greatly impaired the efficiency of the olerloal force of the offioe by a course that has caused general loss of interest in and consequent neglect of the duties of those composing it. Its presence has naturally been contaminating; and thus tbe circle of corruption end dishonest use of publio power for private profit has been gradually widened. Outside confederates, under the relaxing effects of long, uninter rupted suocess, have grown so bold that in Philadelphia a pettifogging lawyer, who-e business sagaoity was equal to the early esta blishment of an inside partnership in the offloe after the formation of the clique, has been heard to openly boast, time and time again, that he could earry any case through the offloe that had money enough in it; and he has got through doubtful claims and efftoted compromise of suits upon terms that are a dlsgraoe to the offloe and a fraud upon the Treasury. , Something of the clique's ramifloatlons and system of working may be gathered from the faot that, when interested assessors and ooUeotors ia different quarters deteot a heavy case of fraud, all offer of settlement Are rejectfd, obstacles to oompr ruUe are a it np, tbe matter Is kept open uutil th party 4 induoed to place his oaie in the hiudi of the lawyer arooinplire, whom he is assured has the inllaeoee witu the Commit-sioner neots sary to settle it on favorable term, and ih-u all becomes smooth miliug, obstiuotions dis appear, and the cape is closed upon his pay ing a Bum of money, half of wuctt usmlly goes to the Uovermuent, tbe balance to tbe clique. The rletailrd manner iu whioh eaoh A transaction U carried throngh from begin ning to end ia creditable to th kuavUa skill of those conducting it. Tbe connections in this city correspond in extent and kind with the oapaotites of the plaoe for the olass of business nought. It was but the other day we were shorn a letter written to a wealthy firm iu this city having a large and jurt olaim against the office which repeotable aud oouipetem coun sel at WHshington has failed tor months past to get allowed, in which it was statr.d in significant terms that, if the counsel would BUp acide and agree to divide his fee, the claimants would get their mouey forthwith. Tbe writer of that paper is au ex-revenue official, who was removed from the service for repeated criminal transactions against the Tieasury, and is well known in revenue cir cles here and at the national capital, lie is but one of a band of many who operate clan destinely in tbe bureau. If Mr. Deliuo would like to know his name, we can famish it, together with record proof j of the proposi tion allndrd to. It is shameful that half-a-dozen unscrupu lous individuals should be permittted to tak complete and defiant possession of the most Important office under the Government; to transact its business in the furtherance of their own interests, in violation of law, sound publio policy, and good order; to corrupt and debase its powers, and to keep tax-pavers burdened; for this clique has oost the Trea sury millions, and it will cost it millions more if It be not promptly overthrown. We look te Mr. Delano to overthrow it. Mr. Orton overthrew it in its very incipienoy, and scat tered its members; but, nnder the Rollins Harland administration, they reassembled and reorganized in a new Atmosphere that was favorable to their desigus. Oar tax-paying people have suffered long enough from this illicit organization: it should be strangled, now that we have a man in Mr. Rollins' seat from whom, we are told, purification, proper discipline, and efficient administration may be expected. Let Mr. Delano look to this matter, for the country will hold him strictly responsible for the injuries dealt to its revenue interests and through those to other interests by the continued existence of the rascally combina tion whioh surrounds him; Let him be care ful whom he trusts among those immediately below him in rank whom he met on entering upon his offioe. They are wary, plausible, And of ripe experience in the ways of cnnnln.. They will, if they can, deoeive and use him A3 they deceived and used his predeorssor. PAPER HANGINGS. ETC.
