The Luck or Mr. McMullin.
From the N, T. Tribune.
Republlos may be ungrateful, but the
Moyamenalrjg 1Iob Company and other
friends of Alderman MoMallin of Philadelphia
are not open to tne aoijueatlon. What the
generous MoMallin has done for the Moyamen-
Bing nose Company and its friends we do
not Know, bat what the Hose gentlemen nave
Inst done for Mr. MoMallin is of record. Last
londay night, at the Aoademv of Masio, they
presented the lucky Alderman win uuuiuo
variety of valuable gifts. Imprimis, there
WAV aft Bllirv-pill lUr fcliv nmonupu 0 BMvn
fronts, a diamond pin of tbe estimated value
Of two thousand nve nunarea aoiiars.
There was a gold box for the Alderman's
tobaooo, ever so many carats fine, and gleam
ing also with diamonds, the whole being
rained at niteen nunarea aoiiars.
Finally, there was a superbly emblazoned
diploma "in a frame or gold and red velvet,"
Kith a portrait of the Alderman at the top,
and with a complete exposition of his pablio
and private excellence. This, of coarse, Mr.
MoMallin will valae maoh more highly than
the breast-pin and the tobaooo-box. The
Jewel may pass from the family thesaurus.
The executors of McMullin may dispose of the
reoeptacle for fine-oat. Bat the diploma.
having no money value, albeit of moral prioe-
iessness, win remain an neirioom In the
McMullin family, and will be displayed with
Srlde upon tne wans 01 nis latest descendant,
ature MoMallins will look at it with tears in
their eyes, and will wish they had the breast
pin and the tobaooo-box also.
TVe de not say that the Alderman has not
merited these tokens of the approbation of
bis fellow-creatures; but still we oonsider him
to be, in some respects, a fortunate man. The
Talor displayed by him in that peculiar species
of combat which is sometimes, though vul-
Sarly, called "a muss," far be it from as to
ispate I The strength of constitution ex
hibited by him, tinder the trying ordeal of
'drink all round," it would be vain for as to
question. Bat how many others have valiantly
fought, how many others have magnificently
Imbibed, without receiving even a diplo
ma f There Is maoy a MoMallin, In all
bat same, who carries no costly dia
mond in his frontal linen. There is many
a mate, inglorious MoMallin, who takes
hla fine-eat from its native foil t There is
many a MoMallin lacking brilliant opportunity,
who will transmit to posterity no illuminated
certificate of pablio and private virtue 1 So
goes the world 1 Some have the silver spoons
And some the wooden ones; some have golden
boxes and some no boxes at all for their to
baooo; Borne reoeive a certificate of charaoter
from the Moyamensing Hose Company, and
some a commitment only to Moyamensing
Prison t Some expire and are forgotten, and
come achieve the undying fame of William
McMullin 1
Presentations like that whioh we have re
corded not only raise our ideas of the dignity
of pablio service, which are apt to get a little
low and skeptical, bat they may also be con
sidered from an economical point of view. We
Wish that some general plan of this kind might
be introduced in this city. To every alder
man who could prove that In office he had
etolen nothing at all, a diamond-pin; to every
alderman who could prove that he had stolen
moderately, a gold tobaoco-box; to every alder
man who oould prove that he stood the lowest
on the list of peculators, a diploma 1 Why
Shouldn't we have these prizes for virtue f
these certificates of moderation And If we
should introduce them, who knows but we
might have aldermen as wise, pure, clean
handed, disinterested, peaoeable,' and
altogether lovely as MoMallin f Why should
Philadelphia have the monopoly of suoh a
munioipal ornament f Why should we not
regulate if possible the mysteries and the
miseries of peculation f
Prepayment or Interest on the Public Debt.
From the JT. T. Herald.
Our national legislators are so absorbed in
party political matters and about the spoils
that they forget what laws have been passed.
The Senate, for example, spend a good deal of
time in preparing and getting through a hill
to authorize the prepayment of interest on
the pablio debt, and now, when this bill haa
been sent to the House, the discovery is made
all at onoe that a law for the same purpose
ras entered in Maroh, 1864. and remains on
the statute book. Many of the members of
the present Congress helped to pass this law,
yet they forgot the fact, though it is only five
years since the law was passed. By this the
Secretary of the Treasury is empowered to
ay the interest on the pablio debt before it
i due, by a period not exceeding one
year, either with or without rebate of
Interest npon the coupons, as he may think
proper, and he is authorized to sell gold in the
Treasury for that purpose. This is not a bad
use for the surplus gold in tbe Treasury to be
applied to, if the rebate of Interest be made
for the time it is anticipated. It would be
a saving of something. B at it would be better
If the large sum whioh continually lies idle
in the Treasury, amounting in currency, per
haps, to a hundred and fifty millions, were to
be applied to buying up the debt at market
rates and while it la depreciated. This would
not merely save seme interest for the time
being, bat for all time to come, through the
reduction and extinguishment of a part of the
principal. Bat it is the misfortune of the
country to have legislators and financial agents
of small ideas, that are mere peddlers in every
thing, and that know nothing beyond misera
ble, patchwork legislation.
Great Expectations
Frtm the IT. T. World.
The Tribune says, "we expeot a great deal
from Mr. Beatwell in his great emoe." We
have no doubt of it. and we dare say the Tri
bune will get all It expeots. So we are not
surprised to find the Tribune rejoiolng over
Uoutwell. On the other hand the Post, which
also "expected a great deal from Mr. Bant
well in his great oiflee," has got nothing. So
we are sot surprised to find the Post bewail
ing the administration of President Grant as
a failure. It is the old story of the relations
who are named in the will and of the relations
who are not named in the will.
Tbe Tenure-of-OHlcc Squabble.
Worn On If. T. Timet.
There oan be no doubt that the committee
appointed by the House to manage the oppo
sition to the Tenure-of Offioe bill, In the con
ference with Senators, was oleverly over
reached, and that the bill as passed substan
tially affirms all for whioh the Senate has
contended.
The second section, as amended in the oon
ferenoe, does not In preoise terms reinstate a
suspended officer in his position. It provides
only for his indefinite suspension, If the person
appointed in his place be not oonflrmed by the
feouttev ' The most that oan be said in favor of
thoM who opposed the pretensions of the
puate U that the second aeotloaof the till
term to qualify Urn first section, whioh make
tbe content of the Senate essential to removal.
1'raotxally, however, we apprehend that the
qualification amonuU to little. For, though a
l'resldent Intent npon quarrelling with the
Senate might nominate another person to per
form tbe duties of tbe suspended omoer in the
p'aoe of the peison rejected by tbe senate,
there oan be no douot mat a scrupulous inter
rretation of the law would lead to the reatora
tion of him whose removal the Senate mar re
fuse to sanction. The idea of a perpetual
snrpemion is not inooucelvable, but it is so
beeet with complications that its application
in any oirounmauoes is nndeaab!e and lui
probable.
It seems to ns, then, that Mr. Butler, with
all his aenteness, erred egregiously when he
represented the change as equivalent to a
triumph, and that Mr. Trnmbull was justified
by the language of the snoond seotion in re
presenting the oontinued possession by the

In spite, however, of the faot that daring
the period that has been named, the asssoola
tion has caused the lash to be abolished, the
diet to be improved, libraries to be furnished,
instruction to be afforded, stimulants in the
shape of rewards for good conduot to be offered,
and other mititgatlng and elevating features
to be adopted, the proper end of incarceration
Las been generally very nearly lost to view
by the men who unfortunately are employed,
without discrimination as to their competency,
in the important position of prison-keeperB.
Prison regulations of themselves, be they
never so wise, will be always of no avail, un
less their spirit shall be enforced by persons
who have a speoial aptitude and liking for
their work, and who combine firmness of pur

Kejectlon or the Darlen Cacai Treaty by
Colombia.
From the y. T. Herald.
We have before ns the report of the Senate
Committee of Foreign Relations of the Con
gress of Bogota against the treaty recently
negotiated by Mr. Cashing with Colombia.
On this report the Senate refused, on the 1st
of March last, to confirm the treaty, and It is
uvn rum. xue reasons ior the rejeotion may
be summed np in these three points: First,
that it does not sufficiently guarantee the
sovereignty of Colombia; second, that the
pecuniary advantages to Colombia are not
sufficient; third, that the works should accrue
to Colombia at the end of one hundred years,
whether the constructors have received pay
for them or not.
For our part we rejoloe that this traaty has
terfft .U'd; t1 out with the reoog"
nltion of a principle whioh is repugnant to ii
ternat onal law, iu conflict with the Spirit of
the nineteenth century, and an outrage upon
the great present and prospective interests of
the oommerceof the United States. We allude
to the recognition of the principle that Colom
bia, in virtue of her claim of territorial sov
ereignty and without even the aooessory of
conquest and possession, Is entitled to the
right to tax all commerce that may hereafter
pass through the Isthmus. It is to be hoped
that our Government, openly and frankly ab
juring tbe errors which former administra
tions have committed in reoognizing this
claim, will now Inform the Government of Co
lombia that it will reoognize no suoh robber
principle, and if it refuses to permit a oanal
to be cut it mast take the logical oonsequenoes
that follow suoh refusal. The only way to
treat a dog in a manger is to pat hlai oat.
