Private Properly at Set In War The
Last LUt of "M'torlms." ,
from the tf. T. ThntM.
. Mr. Vernon Uaroourt was no donbt well
pleated to nelze tu opportunity for a diver
sion which Mr. Johnnou' Manchester speewh
afforded him. Mr. Uarcrmrt baa long been
l&BilT engaged la nndrujiDiog, by hia logio
regarding British reepousibtHty for the Ala
bama, the high eate.-ui and respect he bad
previously built op io Aim-rioa by his support
tt (be cause of th Uuien agalDSt the oause of
the toaurrection. Out bappy ohaooe for diver
sion he had, and nsed, when "recognition of
Eebel belligerency " wa dragged la by head
and ears aa the fenodation ot oar peoaniary
claim for the Alabama' ravages; another he
Xjowerjoya In the remarks let fall by Mr.
Johnson regarding the hoped-for immunity of
private property in time of war.
L'nt hia aecond diversion is not so happy aa
till firat. It wan no dilfioo.it matter to dhow
two Bidea to the question of considering
England's recognition of the Confederate
Statea aa the fon tt origo of onr suit for the
liquidation of ep-oiflo damages caused by a
single oiasa of war casualties. But, when It
aomea to thia second affair, what does "ilia
torious" make out f lie dlvergea from the
field of legal dtcislon Into that of private or
Individual opinion, aud gives us, in place of
his customary erudition, very general and
Inexact assertions to tbe ttieot that the amelio
rating tendency of war cannot be applied to
the protection of private property at sea.
- The new dootriue la, aa our readers know,
that International law ought to proteot private
nrnrertv at sea. as Mr. Jobnaon somewhat
generally, but Intelligibly, presented it, "prl
Tate property npon the ocean, during war,
shall never be subjrol to capture men may
be killed npon the land and npon the ocean
la battle, but the mrchant will go his own
way unharmed." Thia doctrine, we may add,
has been forced npon the attention of jurists
by the mercantile community of the world,
Whioh comprises some of the acutest thinkers
as well as the moat influential citizens and re
solute legislators of all commercial nations.
Mr. llaroourt, In hia late letter to the
London jf i'ntes, rehearses the view he expressed
at Birmingham last autumn, namely, that "it
is idle to attempt to put an end to the horrors
of war except by preventing war itself;" and
that, as the wanton destruction of private
property at sea is one 'of the horrors of war,
ft cannot be prevented. "When the dogs of
war are once slipped from the leash," he says,
"I have very little faith in moderating their
havoc" And, in brief, hia theory is, that we
Should make war so terrible, and especially
to injurious to commercial wealth, that "the
most powerful and Influential interests may
be banded together to disooarage it."
We ooufess frankly our astonishment at
hearing the enunol ttlon from such a source
of such a dootrine; we fanoy it was the con
troveraial and tyllgiiio reasoning, rather
' than the rioh niatorio knowledge, to Bay"
nothing of the philanthropic sentiment, of the
writer which projected it. On the same
ground ' we are under obligations to take
toaokwaid steps in civilization, andredane war
to Indian butchery; and whereas by degrees
oertain conceded usages of humanity have,
under the influence of Christian nations,
become bindiDg "laws of war," whose trans
gression is severely punished even in their
own troops, by all civilized nations, our intel
ligent international jurist has "no faith in
moderating havoo." Oa the dootrine of "His
torioua" we must go to medieval times and
savage isles for our exemplars in warfare, and
take aa onr teachers not Washington and
Wellington, but the Thug and Sioux. Who
ever is conversant with the history of
warfare, from earliest to latest ages, will see
bow civilization and intelligence have re
deemed it from being a wild carnival of blood
and booty, wherein the wanton sacking of
cities, tne putting or prisoners by tbe thou
sand to the Bword, tbe outrage of women, the
Slaughter of infants, have borne conspicuous
parts. Did these horrible atrooities ever
lessen the frequency of war T Let the Palati
sates of history bear witness.
Should "Historious" reply that he does not
Seek a retrograde toward wanton destruction of
life and the means of life beyond the preaent
roles of civilized war, we may properly insist
that he then abandons the fundamental hy
pothesis of his argument; for it is merely a
farther mitigation of such horrors as have
already been mitigated by international agree
ment, that la now nnier discussion.
Mr. llaroourt, in tbe next plaoe, and inde
pendent of his general theory, takes the
groand, inferentially, that neutral property at
' seals entitled to no more immunity than neu
tral property on land, which latter gets in prao
tioe none at all. We repeat, in justice to this
able writer, that thia argument la only "in-.,-
ferentlal;" but bo much it certainly is; and it
omes out during his overthrow of a windmill
that he Bets np, namely, that "the most popu
lar argument tor protecting private belligerent
' property at sea la that private belligerent pro
perty on land Is protected."
We shall not go into the side issue which
"Historious" raiaea by disputing this alleged
proposition of bis opponents. What we say,
on the contrary, ia that tbe two oases are
essentially different. It is difficult, and pro
bably impossible, to proteot from capture
"private belligermt property on land;" but
the reason is becauae it ia so often difficult to
restrain tbe needs of food and forage in an
army; to discriminate between real and pre
tended "farmers" and guerrillas in a hostile
region; to decide when the products of lauds
or factories have or have not been carried
habitually to tbe oamps of tbe enemy. The
' facts are different on the sea. Is Semmes'
BeiBure of ships' chronometers to be put on a
par with Sheridan's destrnction of the wheat
fields regularly reaped in season by Early's
columns f Is the burning and scuttling of.
whale-ships, armed with no more serviceable
weapons than harpoons, to be likened to
Sherman's destruction of houses containing
extra shot-guns and cavalry bridles, or even
to his seizure of food and forage ont of barns f
That la what "Hlatorioue" argues.
' For ourselves, we ask first to have it demon
strated that merchant ships, without arms,
without contraband of war, and obviously
Saclllo in intent, cannot be determined beyond
oubt to be peaceful commercial vessels, and
as such proteoted, before we give np the
Lope that the amelioration of warfare may at
some dav reach and shield them. Wa shall
concede as neoessary a right of searoh; a riant
of destruction on discovery of contraband of
war. or on dlaoovery of hostile intent or nse;
W might oven, if neoessary, oonoede a right
In the war-ship to supply its own needs, in
order to meet tbe argument from analogy in
hostile armies; but there is something differ
ent from wanton destruction designed purely
to Increase the horrors of war. There will
Still be ships enough left to proteot, after
these exceptions.

from tht y. T. Herald.
The rush of hungry patriots to Washington i
cn tbe wild hunt nr m
manasing politicians whose followers these
hungry patriots are. General Grant, however,
ccubtomed to dealing with large bodies of
men on a short notice, euetains the pressure
with tbe eoolneae of an old campaigner, and
takes bis own time in parcelling ont the loaves
sd flubes. Meantime our attention ia oalled
to tbe more important responsibilities and
dnties of bis position. We expeot under his
administration, in the development of the in
calculable resources of the United States, an
epech of progress, prosperity, and power
without an example In the records of any
people on tbe face of tbe globe. We have had
reasons to fear a finauolal crisis and collapse
from tbe mismanagement of tbe Treasury,
and reasons; also, to fear, from these and
other cause, snob, demoralizations and dis
orders in onr body politio as might bring npon
ns political as well as financial bankruptcy;
but we look now for brighter days and better
things.
It is yet too soon to pass judgment npon the
capacities of the new Cabinet in the work of
retrenchment and reform; but there are two
departments which have already one vigor
ously to tbe task before them. We refer to
tbe War and the Navy Departments. The ex
perienced and efficient men assigned to the
Erotersional business of these departments
ave commenced with tbe will of new house
holders preparing for a wedding in tbe family
and a bridal reception. General and speoial
orders affecting the reorganization and re
duction of the army and the pruning down of
useless expenses have already been sent to
every section of the country. It is contem
plated within a short time to reduce the
aggregate rank and file of the army
in aotive service from forty-five to twenty
five regiments or say from forty-five to
twenty live thousand men and in thia
and other ways to out down In a
twelvemonth the expenditures of tbe War
Office to one half tbe last annnal budget of the
Secretary. This Is good. And In the JMavy
Department we have evidenoes of similar
activity with the pruning-knife. Indeed, it is
raid that Admiral Porter, in direot charge of
tbe reform bureau, is turning the department
riptide down and inside out, and that Grand
father Welles would even now be shooked at
the innovations made in the brashing away
of the dust and cobwebs of many years' accu
mulation, and in the clearing eat of old and
useless lumber. At the same time secretary
Borie, off on a little journey, leaves posted
about the walls for the information ot place
hunting interlopers this facetious Inscription:
"There are no vacancies in tbi3 depart- j
xnent." He has no time to waste upon olfioe-
beggars.
We see, then, that in the war and JNavy
Offices it is the purpose of the new managers
to reduce personnel, machinery, and expenses
to the margin of a fair peace establishment.
Let it not be inferred, however, that this
means peace under Grant's administration,
right or wrong. It means only that while
peaoo prevails our a amy and navy may be
razeed to the peace establishment of a mere
police force on land and water. Why not,
when, under President Grant, from the men,
materials, appliances, and inventions of our
late civil war, he could within six weeka mas
ter the most formidable army in the world
and a navy that would be a terror to any
navy ? The inaugural very clearly shows
that while General Grant means to ask
nothing that is not right of foreign powera; he
intends to submit to nothing that ia wrong.
0 tbe War and Navy Departments nnder him
are to be organized for the exjgenoy ot war,
while reduced as to the expenditures of an
assured, enduring peace.
But how ia it with the other departments
tbe Treasury, the Interior, and the Post Office f
Here a different order of things seems to pre
vail; here the politiciass appear as if in full
possession, and the wild hunt for offloe is in
full blast, on Marcy's debasing motto that
"to tbe victors belong the spoils." There
are not in this demoralizing exhibition any
veTy encouraging signs of "economy, re
trenchment, and reform." But when this
unseemly rush, of spoilsmen and this de
grading scramble for places at the publio orib
shall have somewhat abated, we expect that
'General Grant will take a look into tbe
practioal working of these departments, and
we expect that u mey are iouna wanting
upon the test of economy ana retrenchment,
he will apply the rule of his address to the
CongreFsional committee announcing hia eleo
tion the rnleof dismissing at onoe any mem
ber of his Cabinet when found incompetent or
unsatisfactory. The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, an officer seeond only in his great
responsibilities to the head of the Treasury,
comes also within this category.
Tbe Post Office Department has been turned
over to Mr. Creswell deeply in debt or behind
hand; the Interior Department has been
turned over to General Cox awfully mixed up
with rings of Indian-oheating contractors and
railway land speculating rings, and all, sorts
of Territorial schemes and job3; the Treasury
Department and its appendages of tbe internal
revenue service have become a scandal to the
Government and a bnrden to the people too
heavy to be much longer endured, and all in
consequence ot tbe thieving wbissy rings
tobacco rings, gold and stock gambling rings
and other rings of sharpers and plunderers
too numerous here to specify. All these
abuses, frauds, and corruptions in all these
departments, it is the duty of the officers in
charge to rectify, and General Grant Bays that
reform Is bis fixed purpose. I he beada of the
departments ..then, will do well not to forget
this; for if found deficient they must by the
President be removed, and because even for
their deficiencies be will be held responsible to
the country.
The Difference, Detwren Civil Administra
tion and Military Command.
From th W. T. World.
If the Preeidenoy be regarded merely as an
administrative office, having no higher duties
than to execute such laws as Congress has
enatted, or may tnaot, there may seem a
closer resemblance between it and the com
mand of great armies than really extsts. Both
the civil and the military office are poaitiona
of superintendence; both cilices have to deal
with many subordinates and multitudes of
details; and the administrative details of
both may seem to require a superior capacity
for business. But it muat not be Inferred
from these points of similarity that suooeaa
as a general betokens the kind of adminis
trative ability required ia a President. As
soon aa we begin to look more eloaely into
tbe matter we shall find that, in the nature
of the duties, there ia no real resemblanoe.
When General Grant was In aotive command
of an army, his business did not consist in
the raising of men and the selection of
officers, bnt chiefly in directing those offioers
and men where they should march and when
they should fight; whereas the business of
the Presidency, considered merely as an ad
ministrative office, oOnsiata almost wholly in
tbe selection of instruments, and soaroely at
all In prescribing their dally activity. The
duties of President-Grant's oiril-appointees
are all prescribed by laws lavs ao definite,
oertain, and full, as to leave little plao for !
discretion, and that little to be eaerotiwi by -the
officer themselves, and not by him. Hi
may appoint them, but he has no authority
to obalk ont wbat they are to do whnti ap
pointed. But in the exercise of military
command, it was quite the reverse. It was
General Grant's chief fanotioa ss a military
commander to out out work tor his aubirdi
nates, and direct tbe oonrse of their daily ac
tivity. He neither raised hia troops nor ap
pointed their officers. All regimental ani
company officers (except in the small regal r
army) were appointed by the Governors ot
the States In whioh tbe regiments were
raised; the brigadier general and other
higher offioers by the President and
Senate. General Grant could merely
select partioular officers ammg hia subordi
nates for this er that partioular Bervloe; and
neither In the Army of the Potomac nor at
the West did he ever assign a dozen officers
to different commands from those in which h
either found tbem, or to whioh they were
promoted in the ordinary course of the ser
vice. His duties as a general consisted in
planning and superintending campaigns, the
Instruments of whioh were created to his
bands. When he came East, he found tbe
aimy whioh he marched againat Richmond
already organized; General Meade continued
to command it; the corps and division com
manders remained nearly the same, and no
changes were made in officers of a lower grade.
But now that General Grant has oome to the
Presidency, hia chief duties, as an adminis
trative effioer, consist in the appointment of
officers whose duties are so carefully pre
scribed by law that he can give them no order
of any kind, either direotly or through the
beads of departments.
It is easy to perceive, from thia statement,
that General Grant's experience as an admin
istrative offioer in the army had no tendency
to fit him for the administrative datiea of the
Presidency. The one position was no sort of
training for the other, their duties being se
wholly unlike. If General Grant had had the
appointment of all hia own subordinates in tbe
army; if he had taken them mostly from men
who were not in the army and with whom he
had no acqoaintanoe; if the applicants for
each position bad been aa numeroua as they
are in civil offices, and had been as per
sistently and impudently backed; and if,
after he had appointed them, he oould give
tbem no order, and never interfere except
to remove them for inefficiency or misoon
duct, then his administrative duties in the
army would have been similar to thoBe
which devolve on bim as President. More of
General Grant's time as President will be
consumed in listening to representations
and counter-representations bearing upon ap
pointments to omoe than lie will bestow upon
all tbe other duties of bis new position. His
acquaintance with the civil service ia not suffi
cient to enable him either to form a very ac
curate judgment of the requirements of par
ticular offices, or of the fitness of particular
men to fill them. He has thus far proceeded
like a novice; and, beginning already to feel
hia incompetency and stagger under his un-
measurtd burden?, he baa avowed his inten
tion to take refuge behind the heads of de
partments and members of Congress. His
Cabinet be has appointed himself, after much
floundering; and although there are one or
two good names in it, it ia, taken aa a
whole, the weakest and most inexperienced
ever appointed ty any l'restdem. con
sidering what a botch he haa made -of a
thing so simple, where the number
of officers is so small, and all men competent
for them are well known, there ia no likeli
hood of wise selections for the sixty thousand
placeB in the civil service. It is not surprising
that a mere army omcer snouia nave blun
dered bo ecregiously, for there was obviously
nothing in his past duties which trained him
for the performance ol nis present duties
While General Grant will hereafter receive
recommendations from the heads of depart
ments and members of Congress, it is under
stood that he reserves to himself the ulti
mate decision on all appointments, for the
purpose, we suppose, of preventing anybody
from holding onloe wno is not zeaiousiy de
voted to him. and who will not, when the
proper time comes, favor hia reelection.
A Desperate Device.
From the W. T. World.
Tbe announcement that General Stoneman
has issued an order directing the removal of
all State officers in Virginia who will not or
oannot take the test oath, or iron-clad, by the
18th prox., may not seem or any considerable
nublio significance, and yet it is. To show
how. it is necessary to state that this order
is superinduced by tnat resolution 01 me
Fortieth Congress whioh decreed that thirty
days-from date thereof no person should bold
any civil onice in eitner 01 tne ciaies or vir
cinia. Mississippi, and Texas, unleBa said per
son oould take the oath prescribed in the act
of July 2, 1862, or hadjteen relieved of hisdi'a-
abilities under tne so-caiiea louneentn amend
ment by a two-thirds Congressional vote. At
tbe time this resolution was nnder discussion,
we indicated that it was part of a deliberate
attempt to build up, by the persuasive power
of office, a radical party in the soma
of better material than has heretofore gone
to constitute that organization. Feeling that
the negroes were losing confidence' in the car'
pet-bas merJ, and yet seeing it to be all-import
ant to hold this black balance of power as a
set-off to tbe growing aversion of the North,
tbe radical leaders some time since hit on the
plan of securing weak aud venal Southerners
to take charge ot tne negroes ana bring mem
up, in conjanotiou with such whites aa they
micbt influence, to the support of the party,
Tbe means of purchasing such leaders lay
ready to tbe hand in the various btate offices,
and tbis resolution in question waa therefore
passed, to sequester, as it were, the civil esta
bliebment of these States into a corruption
fnnd.
It ia perfectly well known to CoDgresa that
tBese State offices oannot be filled by test-oath
men. and indeed it ia not desired by that
body that they should be. The teat-oath ia
merely the means of forcing the present in
onmbents to anblv for a removal of disabili
ties, and this removal la only to be obtained
on a pledge of support to the radical party.
If tbe official will give thia pledge and prove
his sincerity, he la to be allowed to remain;
but If not, then down cornea the Oath upon
him. out he goes, and in hia place coined A
"reliable" man.
In Viiginia, the offices thus to be utilized
number some three thousand; in Texas and
Mississippi, near two thousand each or about
seven thousand in all. Now, seven thousand
"white-washed Rebels," soattered in every
county in these three outlying States, would
be quite an effeotlve corps of officers to mar
shal the negroes to the polls in the recon
struction elections yet to oome; and not only
useful thus, bnt likewise aa a standing adver
tisement to flesh-pot men in every other
Southern State that offloe was to be bad by
adhesion to the radioal party. With thia aa
tbe programme, General Stoneman's order
indicates the first step to an attempt at its
accomplishment. That such a design should
have been conceived, or be now in process
of execution, betokens, we cannot but think,
a very considerable degree of weakness in tbe
radioal party. Men do not seek ' reinforce
ments till they need them; and thia wild
febeme of bnylng Southern support indloa'ei
beyond all doubt a deep-seated mnvltl'.ton
among the radioal leaders that thre are
causes at work to ope rat a mist, enrloas de
fection in their Northern ranks. Of coarse,
they would not own it; it is the part of
strategy to keep np a tremendous drum
beating and marching and uonntermarohiog
where the lines are elim. Bat one thing U
oertain: Grant would iot have bid for scala
wag support in the appointment of Creswell,
and CoDgress would not now be utilising
Southern State offices, if there was not some
thing wrong in the North. The rogues are
losing ground, depend npon it.
Rc trench went Must He Had.
Frmix th If. T. tribune.
Washington reports affi-m the existence of
a persistent pressure upou heads of depart
ments by members of Congress for plaoea
wherewith to reward needy constituents. In
so far as these demands involve merely the
snpersedure of ins by outs, we do not regrst
it. "Rotation in offloe" is generally whole
some, even to those who disrelish it. No de
partment clerk who is worth his ealt ought to
wtsa to remain in omce more man lour years
at furthest. Let young, active, energetic
woikers be appointed to clerkship; let each
understand that be is to be retained but four
Tears, aud be admonished to save at least one-
third of bis earniBga irom me outset; let him
go out with the adminiatratioa that appointed
him, having saved tbe meana where ivith to
stait In some private business (settling aud
working a quarter-section of publio land, If he
can do no better); and let the next brood fol
low in the footsteps of its predecessor. We
believe thia best for service and servants
alike; for, though there are doubtless a few
clerks and higher offioers in tbe departments
whose rare capacity or special knowledge it
would be difficult to replace, yet so many
tend to become fossila the moment they fancy
themselves fixtures, that the publie interest
would be decidedly promoted by a general
clearing-out as often as once In four years.
We do not object, therefore, to wholesale
changes; we only insist that tbe Secretaries
shall be allowed ample time to familiarize
themselves with tne macninery of their re
spective departments and the merits of their
subordinates before they are required to make
mem.
But more urgent even than this is the re
quirement that the number of clerical and other
Government em pi 03 ca shall be greatly reduced,
That number was necessarily swelled by the
exigencies of war; it has sinoe been reduced,
but not nearly so mncn as it snouia bs. 11 Mt
the assistant assessors, collectors, etc., ot in
ternal revenue that were absolutely required
when we had taxes on everything, from a
baby's first garment to an old man's shroud,
ought now to suffice, since more than three
fouitbsof the articles subjected to war taxes
have been wholly relieved from impost. Yet
we know that, where assessors and collectors
have discharged subordinates, under general
orders from the Treasury to retrench, members
of Congress have interceded at Washington
and obtained their restoration. This must
come to a full stop, and the wheel must re
voire in tne opposite direction. Three per
cent., at furthest, should assess and oolleot
the internal revenue, and we hope it will soon
be made to do bo.
As to the customs, we judge that twenty
five per cent, of the present cost of their ool
lection ought to be saved, and that thia city
should contribute ber full quota towards the
reduction. It ought not to cost nearly one
per cent, of the money collected here to col
lect it; but it does. If we could only dispel
the prevalent illusion that the publio service
is a political almshouse, wnerein me lame,
and the halt, and the paralytic, are to be fed
and fattened at the public cost, the needed
reform would be easy. But almost every one
bas a brother, or cousin, or son, or nephew,
who doesn't seem to know how to take
care of himself, hence is presumed admirably
calculated to officiate as a guardian of the
public Interests and welfare. "To the victors
belong the spoils of the vanquished," is the
accepted maxim, and we submit, only pro
testing that it is not the people and their
treasury who are rightfully vanquished. Let
the winning party have its pap; but let no
dime of it be lavished on a hungry partisan
who cannot, or does not, give value received
for every dime he fobs, and let the fewest
officers that can do the work suffice; and, if
one must be retained or appointed who can
do bnt half work, let him be content with
half pay.
It is the crying evil of our day that working
ror me punuc pays Deiier, or is supposed to
pay better, than working for yourself. The
farmer's or the mechanic's son would rather
be an inspector of customs or polioemau than
inherit his father's business and follow it. The
soil is neglected and often deserted, because
those who should cultivate it fanoy they can
do better as tide-waiters or post-office clerks.
The laws and the policy which beguile tbem
into that delusion have very much to answer
for.
We pray the Secretary of the Treasury and
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to
appoint as assessors and collectors men who will
promise to rednce their subordinates to the
lowest practicable figure, and stand by them
in so doing, no matter who may remonstrate
and insist on making the revenue service a
gigantio soup-house. Now ia the time to re
trench: 11 a "new broom" does not "sweep
clean," it were absurd to expect an old one to
do it. Begin the work of reform by pledging
every assessor and collector to reduce his force
to the utmost on or before the first of July
next, when me new nscai year wui open: and.
having inoited good resolutions, take care that
they be faitnrniiy aanered to.
