THE GRAIN TRADE. from the A'. J'. Tribune. Chicago is an enterpriaiDg, go-Ahead city, which Wta had a rapid growth, and naturally indulges In high-ruaohiug anticipations. Wo forgot bow soou eh in, muoirdin to those an ticipations, to surpass New York in business and population, nor is it s8(ntial to remeuibsr. tSuflice it that she is a city of generous promise and very considerable fulfilment, whode sha dow, we trust, will never be less. Of late, the tact that a good deal of Western grain is paseing down the Mississippi on its way, via St. Louis and New Orleans, to the East and to Europe, has arrested the attention of ber publicists. They do not seem to know exaotly what to make of it. Chicago, they in sist, is the emporium of the Western grain trade; and"eotnethiDg mast be wrong when Western grain seeks the seaboard otherwise than through Chicago. So editorials are writ ten, and conventions held, and reports pro mulgated, with intent to stop the transit of grain down the Mississippi and turn it to com ing East via Chicago as yet, we believe, with little effect. One of the schemes under consideration pro poses a magnificent canal or rather river whereby the water of the lakes shall be made to now southward through the Straits of Mackinac and the heart of Chicago Into the Illinois, and so into the lower Ohio and Mis sissippi, at a cost of only $84,000,000, or some such trille. The objeotion that Cairo would be swamped perhaps we should say reswamped and muoh of the valley of the Lower Mis sissippi drowned out by this "new cut." does not seem to make much impression, being dwarfed by the prospect of seeing Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, and Buffalo high and dry, and Niagara Falls assimilated to a rural mill dam in a dry summer; but the problem, " tlow is Chicago to be benefited by such a river 1" is grave enough. To our mind it is plain that, if the oew river should float mnoh of the soil of Illinois, including the foundations of Chi cago itself, into the Gulf of Mexico, it would impel the "Queen of the Lakes" to ship her own grain via New Orleans, and thus aggra vate the calamity she is seeking to avert. By annexing herself to the great valley, Chioago would be far more likely to accelerate than impede the momentum whereby prod ace now seeks the East by way of the South. A far more hopeful projeot is that of enlarg ing and deepening still farther our Erie Canal, and thus diminishing the oost of reaching the seaboard via Bnifalo and Albany. This looks praotical; but who is to bell the cat ? It must cost heavily; and though Chioago may care nothing for snob, a flea-bite ai $84,000,000, New York has been sobered by experience and does not take kindly to the suggestion of new outlays and nw debts, especially when it is intimated that she is expected to disdain any pecuniary return. The general drift of Chi cago and even of Northwestern opinion seems to require that oar State shouM, first, doable the capacity of her great tana1; secondly, re duce the tolls so that they uuld not possibly reimburse her oatlay; thirdly, cut (or have the Federal Government cut) a magnificent shunpike around Niagara Falls, so as to de prive that canal of half its natural traffic. We should have to send to Chioago for financiers competent to demonstrate the advantage to our tax-payers of these dashing operations. Finally, the recent Convention of Boards of Trade at Chicago adopted the report of its committee, concluding as follows: "Thirdly, Your committee nsks your consideration of the project of orj;aiii.i!iir, during the ensiiii)j sea Kon, for the purpose of prexsiiiK upon Consrresn the necessity of Hiding the State of New York to open the Krie and Oswego canals to the people of tho United States fur the transportation of product! free of toll; and to hasten the btillillnir of the Niagara Ship (.'anal by the General Government- All of which Is respectfully submitted." This goes to the root of the matter. If Con gress shall see fit to devote one or two hun dred millions or so of our surplus revenue (?) to the purchase of the Erie and Oawego Canals, and to doubling their capacity, and to making a ship oanal around the Falls of Niagara, Chi cago can doubtless hold her present grain trade, and probably increase it. But St. Louis, and New Orleans, and Cincinnati, and Mem phis, will hardly be "enthused" by the pros pect; nor will Norfolk and Baltimore, Pitts burg and Wheeling, be likely to see their account in it. On the whole, we cannot realize that this new-old scheme of "paying the taxes out of the Treasury" has a living chance of sucoess. Our Pacific Railroad experience is yet fresh and by no means assuring; and we apprehend that Uncle Sam feels too poor to buy or dig grand canals just at present. So we submit that the proposed purchase of the Erie and Oswego Canals by the Union much more, the construction of a Niagara ship oanal with Federal funds must stand over for fur ther and very deliberate consideration. OUR RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND. JPVom the A'. Y. Herald. The Alabama olaims question appears to be assuming an importance which it should have assumed long sinoe. It is only the sad politi cal condition in which the "reconstruction" radicals have kept ns that has prevented our settling this English aflalr. In the conversa tion between Mr. Sumner and our correspon dent, publibhed on Monday, Mr. Sunnier justly aayt: "We have defined our position now, and there will be so yielding. We ask nothing but what is fair, and our people man to have justice at least." We do not apprehend that war will result from the attitude we have assumed; bat the retult. on the contrary, will be a closer and better understacdiug between the two nations. Snoh men as Reverdy Johnson only help to bury the real issne nuder mountains of roast beef, tilam pud line. "V and "at" and cham pagne. The action of the United States Senate was necessary to sweep away the debris and get at the question. We made clear work of it, and with a smooth floor before ua we are ready to open a lively commercial can-oan with John Ball, or, as he has the largest family of she ships on the ocean, we win launuu a lew AUhamaa and commeuce coquetting, if that be required. Bat Euglish good sense and love of fair play will nodoubt settle all this war Amy n nnr untire satisfao ion. We are now ex actly where we thoroughly understand eaoh other, and that is the first broad step towards a settlement. THE ADMINISTRATION AND COUNTRY Voin the ChlfWlu JiepiiliHean. Is is useless to couceal a fact which has be ma riRtnt to ail. and that is that the ad minUt ration has disappointed, not only the country generally, bat its immediate party friends. Even the jackals and very buzzards nnivnrra of the party camp not on scent a rising gale of popular diiisatUfAotion but are preparing to veer round aud take ad ..r.tsra f the unexpected ch-iuae of seuti nt. The very mu who, a short time sine, claimed to be trieu'is or me rresxiem par ex cellence, re now waging tbelrtongnes against Lim in the streets aud publlo bar-rooms, and pronouncing him a political failure aud his jjouiintfon P1 Wander. Take as evidence - - . . , I. -I . . tie Chlcdfro Tribune, whlota, after ralnly strltr- j lrc for wetks to justify nomIntloni forod upon I the President br its own immediate friends and supporters, now luffs np into the very wind's eje of its former teaohlngs, until every rsg of canvas in tha'. unstable oraft flatters and ilps in the breeze, and threatens to fly in shreds from the bolt-ropes. Now this sadden charge of tbe course of the sheet ia qatstiou has been attributed to disappointment beoanse one of this proprietors was not awarded a foreign mitsion, which he was to obtain with tbe astietsnoe of tbe Vi 'e-l'resident. Bat this is not the real reason f r the change ia the course of that journal. The real reason is that the management, like the other scavengers of the party camp, thinks it detects a change in public sentiment on the subject of the Cabinet appointments, and wishes to profit by feeuiing to lead that which it merely follows. The truth is no party organ in the country has done more to produce the evils and embarrass ments which now threaten the integrity and security of the aimiuistraUon thau the Chicago J'ribune. From the oommenoemeut, that journal aud its immediate supporters as sumed to take personal charge of General Grant. By from the oommenoement, we inan from the day its managing editor supposed General Grant to be the "coming man." The Tribune not only proposed to elect Grant, but to "run him" after be was elected. It told bim be must cut loose from professional poli ticians, always saving and excepting the Washburne family and the Tribune editors. It denounced Congress in advanoe as utterly corrupt, worthless, and unreliable. It pro claimed General Grant to be the only man (in fact the modern Hercules, raised up by Provi dence and the aforesaid Tribune) who could cleanpe the Augean stable of politics. It egged on Washburn, and pointed to him as the mouthpiece of General Grant, to make that famous, or rather infamous, speech of his in Congress, which was literally the gauntlet of tbe President dashed in the very faoes of the men who bad elected him. It next de manded the immediate repeal of the Tenure-of-Oflioe law, in order that the President might be enabled to act independently of the states men and politicians of all those in the party which bad elected bim, who were capable of giving bim advloe and assistance. Then, when it supposed the President had ob tained sufficient control to be able to use the Herculean broom, the Tribune and its satel lites took care that for every office holder swept out one of its own buzzards should be put in. Let the reader imagine the public table freshly laid by the new adminis tration, with all the art of modern gastro nomy, from the piece tie resistance to the deli cate Charlotte liusse. Outside the public en trance crowd the horde of office-seekers who have not assumed the personal supervision of General Grant. At a private door enter Washburne, J. Russell Jones, the Dents, the Caseys, and other hangers-on, who proceed, before the publio door is opened, to attaok the various dishes indiscriminately or accord ing to individual taste. Washburne staggers oil' nnder the weight of the piece de resistance. The Dents and the Caseys squabble over the pates and the pasties. Jones and a few Gale naites plunge thereupon into the Charlotte liusse, and leave but a mere crust for the next comers. Thwn the main entrance is thrown open and the publio are invitod to gaze upon the ruin which the wreckers have made, or feed, if they can, upon the fragments. But what will the publio think of these cormorants, after they had been gorged with the good things which they secured to themselves by excluding from the circle of the President's personal friends and supporters every man who they supposed would interfere with this ring arrangement, when they are now found among the first to denounce General Grant for doing what they forced bim to do r The pub lio muBt necessarily look upon them as the most unmitigated scalawags ever spawned upon the surface of party politics. Yet it is a faot that the very men who have plunged General Grant into this quagmire, oat of which he can only be rescued by the most dexterous management and by the forbearance of his party and the country generally, are now denouncing him. Washburne forced General Grant to degrade the great office o Secretary of State by making it the means of paying a compliment to a friend. Not only so, but while proouring the President to cheat tbe country by a pretended appoint ment, Washburne cheated the President and the real appointee by using wnat was in tended as a mere personal compliment as a substantial means of advanoing his own and his friends' political prospects. Mr. Wash burne named forty-eight foreign appointees on the strength of a mere personal compu ment. Mr. Fish finds himself responsible to tbe Senate and oountry for Mr. Washbarne's appointees, many of whom the Senate post tively refuses to conllrm. JNovr, in all con science, who is to blame for this fiasco f Is it General Grant, a Cincinnatus, honest and con tiding, or Mr. Washburne, a crafty political wire-puller, who, nnder the cloak of redress ing political evils and cleansing the State of political corruption, crams every possible place with his immediate personal friends and relatives, most of whom are so totally unfitted for th positions given them, as to cause a storm of indignant protest to come up from the party and country, throneh every newspaper iu the land down to Mr. Washburne's reputed organ itself ? General Grant deserves sympathy, not blame; while the men who have used him and are now abusirg bim should be the objects of the soorn and contempt of all good men. The New York 1'ust is cmplll to demand the removal, not on'y of M'. W, shbume, but of all his friends from tflice. The New York Times bemoans the mistakes of the President. Mr, Trumbull Fays: "We shall be broken up," if this sort or thing continues. Leading papers aud politicians in every part of the country declaim against the curse lix-d upon the Presi dent by the Chic go Trilun: and Mr. Wash burne, which iu two short mouths has borne such bitter fruits. No administration was ever before so imperilled by a set of unprin cipled pnliticul harpies as that of General Grant. The wisest men of the party look upon the political situation with the most painful and anxious solicitude, arid predict that four years of i a present management will most assuredly uiaku bhipwreck of it, if cot of the country itself. RECONSTRUCTION 10 BE RECON STRUCTED. From tie X. Y. World. "Reconstruction" has reversed its engine and is "taking the back trick" in Virgiuia' with tie sauoiion of the Federal authority' We are too well pleased with the new niovI nuent to taunt tbe R-pub luau party with its vainglorious boast iu the Chicago platform that this work of reuoUolruuiion had been tri uuaphautly completed. There are still four nnteptessiited State, inclndiug Georgia two fifths of the whole number of states, contain ing more than half of the rebol population. Th business which is about to engage the Ojief attention of President Grant now that be has got clear of the throng aud pressure of the plaoe-huuters U tti reconstruct reconstruction, aud bting tbe unrepresented States to tbe door of Congress for admissiou. His messnge asking for authority to submit the new constitutions in paits, so that the people may have an opportunity to vote down tha disfranchising provisions, is one of the few things he Las done which meet our approval and the adoption of his reooinmen U'iou was a confession by Congretg that the congratula tions tendeted to the ii tautry in 'he Ch OHgo platform were a stroke of dtnuigngue iuipi dence. With more thn half of ihe white population of the Southern States still un represented, the prfti a-, put forth nearly a year ago, that the work of roou-ttrnctloa hud been perfected, was a brazen and thauieless vaunt. The passage by Congress of the bill autho rizing tbe President to submit the ur con stitutions to the popular vo'e in parts, is a sneaking retreat by tht body from iis policy of disfranchising the lea ling oitiisns of the South. It is a compulsory retreat; for tux Republican party count not stand uuier the cdium of keeping halt the population 0f th South unrepresented for an iudeliuite period, and the same majority in the unrepresented fctates mat votea aowu reconstruction last year would suffice to block it perpetually. Congress has, therefore, virtually decided that it will no longer insist on disfranchise ment as an essential part of the reconstruction policy. It was perfectly well understood that the purpose of General Grant's message was to get authority to enable the people of the States to set their brand on disfranchisement; it would be a preposterous mockery to give them permission to do this, if CoagreH still adhered to its policy of disf rauohlsemunt as an Indispensable condition of restoration. Disfranchisement has, therefore, been virtually' (though sneakingly) abandoned; for as, in logio aud in law, all the revolted States stand on the same footing, as they all committed the same crime and deserve the same retribution, when Congress gives np this main feature of its policy in relation to some of them. It is precluded from any longer insisting on it in relation to the others. When Virginia is ad mitted with a constitution imposing no disa bilities for participation lu the Rebellion, notioe will have been given to all the other States that they are at liberty to resoind the disfranchising clauses of their constitutions without any danger that Congress will inter pose for their enforcement. The virtual abandonment of this policy at so early a day recalls the well-known epitaph on tbe tombstone of an infant of premature birth that died as soon as it was born: "Since I'm so quickly done for, What was I begun for?-' The disfranchising policy thus early aban aonea has been the oaase or more exaspera tion aud bad reeling, it has done more to sour aud alienate the bouth and to retard the re storaticn of kindly feeling", than atjy other ex hibiiion of radical bigotry aud malignity. And ibis insane policy, which is now oueakingly confessed to be a binuder. was, from the be ginning, the central thread of the Republican scheme of reconstruction. When Presiden. Johnson came into cilice, and had not, as yet, any thought of breaking with the R-spubllcia party, be echoed its predominant sentiment In his frequent and foolish speeches declaring that 'Kebels must take back seats," tha'. "treason must be made odious," and a great deal of vituperation in the same veiu, imply ing that all who had lakeu a prominent part in the Rebellion oiiuht to be 8 'ripped of their political rights. We refer to those speeches merely to show what was at that time the prevalent feeling ot the Republican party The President grew more liberal when he had time for cool reflection; bat the Republican party steaiily and strenuously insisted on political disfranchisement, and some of its prominent members, like Tbaddeus Stevens, would have added a wholesale conoicaclon of Rebel property. Disfranchisement was the key-note of the radical policy; it was aleadiug feature or every proposal made to the sonth. The constitutional amendment which was first presented as a condition of restoration, was rejected by'all the Southern States w tti prompt indignation chiefly and avoweaiy because of its disfranchising clauses. If it is wise to abandon that cardinal part of the recon struction policy now, it was a great piecs of folly ever to have instated upon it at all. The danger from the political activity of the dis franchised classes was no greater then than it is now. Had their politioal rights been promptly conceded to them in the outset, the concession might have been regarded as an act of grace w hich deserved some return of grati tude; at any rate, the South would not have been provoked into an attitude of contain i- cions resistance. But the extorted conces sion, at this late day, sneakingly granted only on ao ount of the demonstrated impossibility of reconstructing the most important Sta'.es without it, has no tendency either to secure the respect or to awaken the gratitude of Southern citizens. If disfranchisement was necessary at all, it was not as a precaution against an immediate danger, but as a guarantee against a possible future danger. With the great majorities which the Republicans had in both hoases of Congress, there was no danger that the South ern representatives would carry any measure which tbe Republican party did not approve. It was only at Borne future day, wueu the Re publican majorities should bit reduced, that the South would have any eff-ctive pover in Congress. To commence a policy of dis'ran chisement and not persevere in it, is like planting a fruit tree and cutting it down be fore it puts forth any bloavims. Why exas perate and poison the minds of the Southern pbopfe by so illiberal and odious a measure, if it was to be relinquished before it could bear any other fruit tbau uiere exasperation aud hatred ? The policy of disfranchisement has been tbe most formidable obstacle to the early restoration of tbn S'a'-es to their Federal relations. Confeirtng nniversal suf frage upon the brutal and semi-barbarous ne groes was bad enough; but me negro voters could be managed if the political talent of the South were left free to act. Experience long ago demonstrated that even the intelligent white voters of the couutry exercise but little real power. A few a iive politicians and wire pul'era control all the elections by packing and conti oiling the preliminary caucuses and conventions; and if active political talent so easily monopolizes all eflec'.ive power in the free aud intelligent North, it cannot be a very difficult task to outwit and circumvent the igLoraut and pauperized negroes of the South Give the Southern whites au open field and fair play, and they are competent enough to control the polit'cs of their section, in spite of negro suffrage. In sneakiDg out of dis i'raiicbirenieut, ther. f .re, tbe Republican tarty will give np the main prop of its Southern policy. This practical confession that its policy has been a blunder will rapidly undermine the waning conuMeuceoi the oouo' try in the fitntss of that party to control pub lio affairs. STATESMANSHIP MADE EASY. i'Vom the iV. 1'. TimeH. The Washincton correspondents, to whom the whole world owes bo much, are putting the various great statesmen with whom they have "interviews," and whose "ooaversa- tions" they report, under special they report, under special ounga- tions of gratituJe. If any modern states man av. for example, Senator Sumner or Senator (sprane wishes to make publio his ideas, he baB only to call in or let in a press correppoudfcut. and leeiu to "converse." And the great advantage of this arrangement is Juit here: If the "interview" so rsportei is a fortunate one, ana the statesman a Ideas" are received favorably by the publio, all is well; on the other band, if they prove to be unsafe or unpopular, the statesman ban only to disown tbe report, aoa announce that be wai "misunderstood" or "aiisreprepented." This sort of politioal "table-talk" is one of the great improvements which we have made on the old style of j American politics, where a Congressman, for example, was in the habit of putting his publij opinions on reoird officially in Con gress, aud so became responsible for them. There is one drawback, however, to the use fulness of tbe "lutervu-w ' correspondents, namely, that they rarely fail to render the great urn to whom they play the isoswell taiber more oonceit-d, consequential, arro gant, or ab-urd, as the case may bo, tbau be is in his more formal publio conduct aud ppteihes. PRESIDENT GRANT AND 1II3 CABINET. Frnm the .V. '. Jlrrahl. It is evident that the men composing the President's Cabinet are ill-suited to their posi tions. None of them t-.ke hold of tbe great questions appertaining to their departments in a manner that indicates grasp of mind aud originality in execution. We speak of these things for the benefit of the President him self. He requires men around him who have sufficient brains to administer the laws in all exceptextraordinary cases, which may rfjatre oonsulta'ion and close exeoutive attention. General Grant has made a mistake in suppos ing that oivil government can be directed by military forms. The oivll power Is the reverse of the military. The former proceeds frem the people to the centre tbe mass governs and directs through its mouthpiece, the Presi dent; the military power ia the centre, cre ating all aotion and shaping everything. It is with the military idea predominant and in keeping with his edacation aud habits that General Grant came into office. The Cabinet waa selected nnder this principle, and not having been accustomed or fitted to work in such a direction, they alreaiy show signs of imbecility. The Secretary of the Treasury finds the finanoial problem too ponderous for the keeper of a country store or for solution la accordance with the old European book the ories. He finds it impossible to run the Ame rican treasure-box on European wheels. A letter from Washington says truly that "Mr. Borie was called from the most complete retirement," much to the astonishment of himself as well as the country. Admiral Por ter is to-day virtually filling the office of Secretary of the Navy. The Secretary of State, worse than all the rest, is as un-American as it is possible for au officer to be. His tame foreign policy is in ill-keeping with the bold attitude of the people and the Senate. The country does not expect him to think for it, but simply to watch its temper and obey its mandates. When he fails iu this he ceases to be the representative of the United ftates iu the position where the Piesident has nu'or- tnr ately placed him. We ate little disposed to have a Secretary amuse the people with ideas of a bold tolicy on any foreign question, while he has a private and opposite understanding with the power to which It relates. This is too much in the track of the last eight years. We speak of the necessity of remodelling the Cabinet that 1'resident urant may have atonnd bim good working men, who live with the times and understand the animating foroes of our political existence. We know that the President enjoys himself in looking upon his fast horses rather than In the analysis of ab stiuse governmental questions. This and good a-ststauts win enable nim to last out his term of iffice. General Grant is a man of very solid sense, and will readily see the necessity for abler Cabinet brains, not ouly for the reasons we have indicated, but for tbo?e which he himself gave in bis inaugural address.
