THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FKIDAY, MAY 7, 1809. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. RMTORIAL OP IK ION B OF TBI HADIHO JOURNALS UPOS CCBBBBT TOPICS COMPILBD BVKRT DAT FOB TBI 1TBRISO TELKORiPH. THE REVENUE. From the X. Y. lYibune. It In eTK'ouriirngto know that the receipts from both ciiHtoins uiid exciHO have tdiown such Improvement of lute that we limy conilclotitly expect a total at the end of the current fiscal year, terminating on. the iiOlh of June next, eoiiHi(ler,aly in excess of the olllcial estimates. Tlio niQt careful one of those on excise was that made hy Mr. KolliiiK liimnclf in his last report, calling for 145,000,000, and in forming his conclusions on the f uoject ho was materially aided by the actual returns from all sources for the Ornt three mouths of tho present fiscal year. These returns revealed considerable Increase in Bi veral speeitlc sources us compared with results for the corresponding period of the preceding vcar. Tho total tax paid by spirits, for Instance. Iluring July, August, and September, 18I57, on all accounts, only amounted to t.VJM.OOO, while Jor the corresponding mouths of 1803 it amounted to ?8,4(l.r),t)00. This,' however, was the heaviest increase shown, by any one source for tho time named. Tho totals for fermented liquors were respectively l,710,4.tJand l.rJ0,ttl; and thoso for sales VC4,!W3 and l,7a,J,ftia. In place of tobacco giving an iucreaso somewhat in tho rati of that on spirits, as wo bcliovc should ha beea tho case, thore was a largo falling off, the iggregatcs being 5,(K!,8K) and $4,2'.i.,U73 rrsj '-ctivcly a diflerenco of 734,000 iu Juyor of i, ..puented fraud, beyond a doubt. 1 uis last report, Mr. McCulloeh estimated Uu:. we would this year receive 174,000,000 jmm customs and 133,750,000 from internal fourccs. liut we have ground for believing that his figures on these two sources will bo us mucli exceeded as will those on other sources lamia and miscellaneous, for example. Ho omul on the right side, however; for it is much better to underestimate tho public income than to overestimate it more particularly wliero there is a sincere effort to bring tho expendi tures within the estimate of receipts. Assuming tho total receipts up to tho 1st instant to bo 8118,000,000, and the average daily returns for the remaining sixty davs' of tho year to bo .m00,tiOO, we have 143,OOO,000, independent en tirely of tho special taxes which fall duo this moniii, which last year paid much above t-Ui,0i-d,0O0, and which will be likely to pay more this year. In addition to this, we shall have the benefit of a collection of tho income tax and tho taxes in Schedule A, tho former of which last year yielded between $141,000,000 and i 13,000,000, and the latter upwards of 41 ,00ti.UOO. Our estimate of the per diem average for tho balance of the year, from tho 1st' instant, is based on tho results for the preceding ten months, but we think we might safely enlarge our ngi.res and advance upon tho totals of last vear to correspond with what may bo reason ably expected in the way of iucreaso from the changes that nave been made in tne servico under tho new administration. Of course these must go for something, and many of tho rogues in oinco having been replaced by honest men, it la but right to expect that much or all of tho revenue actually collected, but hitherto diverted Irom the Treasury iuto the pockets of knavish ollieials, will, under the new order of things, lind its way safely into tho public coffers tor proper application. The receipts from spirits during tho first half of this fiscal year were aO,OoO,000, compared with $'J,000,000 tor tho corresponding period of last year. At this rato we should have $40,000,000 for tho entire year under the same general condition during the last half of the year as that prevailing during tho first half of it. But there was a change ot that condition, covering four months out of the six remaining ones up to next July; which ought, in tho nature of things, to cause a healthy im provement, not only In the revenue directly but also indirectly, through the increase of general business resulting from removal of disturbing political caupes, and consequently of its ability to pay more revenue; and under this change we ought to get $5,000,000 from this article, at the lowest, bringing us within $5,000,000 of the esti mate of the Committee of Ways and Means last year on this subiect. Reviewing the whole situation, and taking into consideration all tho causes which should legiti mately tend to improve tho inland revenue, at least, wo see no reason why wo should not pre dict a total of $175,000,000 from that one branch. This would give an excess over all tho olBcial estimate varying from $0,000,000 to $37,000,000. Customs will undoubtedly give a surplus of several millions overestimates, as will also lands and miscellaneous sources combined, liy adding to these amounts iu excess the sums saved by cutting down useless expenses, we may have from $40,000,000 to $50,000,000 more than we expected, .upon starting on the year, to apply to the extinction of the debt, or to any other wiao purpose preferred. . THE INGRATES LEAVE EARLY. From the Chieayo 1'vnt. The insensibility to shamo that marks the conduct of certain Republican editors who, being refused ollice by General Grant, have gone over to his detractors, is a signitlcant sign of the political degeneracy of tho times. In the better days of the republic, the journalist who thus ad vertised to. the world his true character as a sol dier of fortune a free lance, ready to battle under that leader who gave to his followers the most wine and tho largest share of tho common spoil could not have faced popular indignation for a day. Ho would not only have lost his sub scribers, but he would have sunk so low in public esteem, that the members of his profession would have hooted him out of their brother hood. Yet tho history of the last two months . affords. : among the pro fessedly Republican editors of the country, half-a-dozen instances in which first one and then another has made public procla mation that his fidelity to the party, and his professed admiration of its leader, the execu tive head of the nation, was all tho while secretly conditioned upon tho expectation of ollico; because General Grant surely has done nothing or neglected nothing which can bring him within the just censure of his party friends. He is to-day tho saiuo man that ho was when these ingrates were bespattering him with cx travagaut . praise. (so far as he has had occasion to vindicate the policy of the party in his olllcial action, he has not tailed to come up to the standard by which his partisans will judge him; hence, the utmost of which he can be accused is that ho has here and there made a mistake in tho character and fitness of those upon whom he has conferred his patronage a mistake in every instance due to the want of discretion or want of honesty on tho part of his advisers. . But in the minds of the malcontents, the President's unforgivable offense is his.failure to reward their high qualities and arrogant pre tensions. It Is perhaps fortunate that these gentlemen liavo displayed their weakness and venality thus early. Ve are yet in tho first quarter of tho first year of tho new administration; and Grant's real business as President has hardly commenced. Thus far he has been merely a distributor of the spoil, of victory ono otllco to every ten appli cants. Wo know, as yet, nothing of his admi nistrative qualities. As wo time and time again foretold, in tho attempt to abate the extrava gance of public . expectation, ho has been the Victim, '011011 an unwilling and not uufrequoiitly rebellious victim to the disgraceful traditions to tho victor belongs the spoils upon w hich Loth parties act. Rut it is not possible that Con gress will get through its next session without tho necessity arising for calling around him all the strength of his supporters; henco wo say that it is fortunate that the men who have already furled their banners and gone to the rear or over to the enemy, because of the insulUclency " of tho pay, will not be in a position, when a HWglo comes, to make their treachery felt. N,.w. tho KcMibJicaii party can afford to con gratulate itself on tho fact that the upostaey to jU policy and principles which wo have lately observed, is harmless lo uu except iiiose "" i' 'j. who THE A83AULT UPON PRESIDENT GRANT. Frrnn the X. Y. Herald. ' There are to-day three boldly marked dl vi sions In American politics. Thcso are tho domi nant Republican clement, the Copperhead, and the loss nolpy yet stronger" force which supports the President. Tho former represents a radical, victorious body of men, who, having had un limited power placed In their hands, aro Intoxi cated with It. In nil the world's history there Is no parallel to their lavish expenditures of trea sure. AVe have seen Rome rocked by civil wars and foreign conquests; have seen empires rido into power upon the ruins ot the Roman repub lic; wc have seen France, England, and the German countries run through centuries of war; but the debt, the expenditures, the corruptions, and the plundering which have followed the wreck of their national morality have been light in comparison to those which have charac terized our own civil strife. North and South, those who were the legislative leaders during the Rebellion appeared to make it a rule to rake into their own pockets and into those of their friends the wondrous wealth which modern prosperity had poured upon the United States. In the North Congress has hold tho reins, and, mounted upon our national treasure box, with tho people in harness, has driven in a manner which can only be estimated by the two thou sand six hundred millions of dollars of debt w hich mark its track. So firmly have its mem bers seated themselves in power that they no longer represent the people whom they ori ginally used as d stepping stone to political pre ferment. Congress is, hi its unity, our dictator. Each State has furnished a larger or smaller number of particles to form this dictatorial element. Rut how of the Copperheads? They aro a curious combination. Among them are men who. too cowardly to have a well-defined opi nion, maintained a sort of political vagabondage during our war. During the same period they furnished from their ranks that element which, behind our backs, was worse than a Rebel army of two hundred thousand men. Since tho war they have taken advantage of tho character of that "bull iu a china shop," Andy Johnson, and have stirred up large masses of the people, North and South, with the fallacious idea that the war settled nothing, that slavery still exists, that no political conditions have been changed, that three hundred thousand slaveholders even now hold the power, that steam and electricity aro dreams, that all the gentlemen are South and that their education North counts for nothing, that England cannot breatho without American cotton that, iu fact, eight years of desperate war and political turmoil havo had no results. They surrounded the Presidential bull, aud per suaded him that, in tho main, they were right. He, with horns down, gored by friend and foe, charged hero and there. Ho bellowed for "my pulley" and the "Constitution," to tho delight of Congress, to which he gave more power, and to the joy of the Copperheads, whose sole hope of ollice was and is the keeping of the country in an unsettled condition. There is another element. It Is that off of which all this Republican and Copperhead war scum has grown fat. It is the sturdy conserva tive heart of the country. It represents tho yeoman who, back of the seaboard cities, gives the nation its sinew and power. It comprises the soldier who, on both sides, fought from the conviction that he was doing his duty. It is this element that, firm as a rock, has saved us from disintegration since the war closed. It is this both copperhead and Republican havo tried to control the oue trying to gain power, the other to perpetuate it. Both parties felt that President Grant had the strongest hold upon this sturdy backbone of the country, aud it be came a desperate game which should nominate him for the Presidency. Grant took the Repub lican road because of the two offered it was the cleaner. The Republican part' got the namo of electing their President; but this party in the election of Grant simply recognized tho silent but irresistible governing force of tho United States the common sense of ihe people. Wc have thus pictured three distinctive political elements. Two of them were even before the war too vile for national good, but now they are reeking with the corruption which testers in lhe last cignt years ot our history, Congress represents the dominant one. Copper head and Democrat, in their attempts to stir civil hatreds into action, represent tho second President Grant represents the third. Ho is the sole exponent of all the force that gives us national cohesiveness at homo and national respect abroad. It is to him that the common sense of the country turns, with the hope that lie will express, by word and act, the will of tho people. It wfts in opposition to tho contending Renub lican and Copperhead elements that Grant took his scat. The hounds at once set upon him. The force they brought to bear was terrific. The vast and intriate system of "rings" that held aud dictated the methods of public plunder were at tho heels of Congress and urged its members to the attack. Congressional salvation hung upon its power to force its instruments I . Tf,.I,l O i . iniu tiiucv, LuiLuu ouiiu oeuaiors wum so lar as to dictate to tho President who should and who should not bo nominated or confirmed. Their colleagues sustained them in this dicta' tion. Again tho Copperhead press, true to its principles to create turmoil, immediately opened upon the Executive. The whole hungry pack wmcn it represents ecnocu tne nowi. The President has stood the assault well. He has thrown them the bones aud they are now purring over them. This gives him time to look about him and study his position. He must discover that tho Congressional party that had him forced upon them' are bent upon niukin hliu a nonentity in the Government that the Copperheads nnd Democrats are but a crowd o political Rip an W inkles. He can, therefore, turn nowhere for support except to the yeo manry and the common sense of the country that gave liini hi fame, enshrined him as the commander who saved us from national disinte gration, and virtually made him President. There Is yet a greater victory in store for him than any ne nas won. jus nrst step towards it is to.reor gamze his Cabinet and place young, energetic and ablo men in the chairs of those who reprc' sent 1800 instead of 1800. Doing this, the people win icci mat tncir rresiuent reaiiv places Jam self at their head, and is willing to fill tho posl tion which they have given to him. Doing this, and ignoring Republican and Copperhead, Presi dent Grant will take the initiative in the organ! zntion ot n party which can within three year sweep away tho existing ones with all their ol. solete ideas, dictatorial proceedings, andcorrup' nous. CUBA AND THE CUBANS. From (he X Y. World. lhe rcccut manifestations iu this city dial U'lige fresh attention to the Cuban insurrection t uu sailing oi me Arago may prove a serious affair; or rather it might prove serious if Spain ntiu v cming nauon, wiui resources to resen and chastise an affront. But it would bo an ac ot supreme lolly for Spain, crippled as she Is, to call the I nited States to account for that or any similar dereliction of duty. Her motives aro a hundrcd-lold stronger for keeping out of a war wuii mis country man ours were during tho civil war for avoiding a war with England or j-uiiiiu. hp uiu I'seapo oi ine Alabama from British port we oppo-ed nothing but reuion stianccs; aim against mo French oxiieilii.i.iii tn Mexico we did not even remonatrato. A war with either of those powers, at that time, would have made them nllles of tho Confederates, and have destroyed all reasonable hopes of ever subduing tho Rebellion. In tho same manner, a Spanish war with tho United States would niuko this country tho ally of Cuba, and deprive Spain of all reasonable hope of retaining her sovereignty of tho Island. Spain may remonstrate; but the escape of a dozen Ara'gos would not induce her to declare war. She can only do what we did iu tho case of the Confederate cruisers send her navy alter the hostile vessel and attempt to capture and destroy it. The sailing of the Arago was, ot course', immediately telegraphed to Havuia, and tlio Spanish nicn-ol-war, having ample notice, will be on the lookout, and attempt to intercept her. It Is highly Improbable that the Spanish Government will lake any other practi cal step. 1 1 is clear enough that our authorities at Washington have been derelict. Tho Govern ment affects to discredit the news of the sailing of the Arago with an armed force on board oil the alleged ground that it has received no notice vi me inn irom mo rcueral o Ulcer hnn, n,,t the Federal officers here understand perfectly well that the President Is Inclined t.o wink at uin i AjiiuiiioiiB. u inaucr ot course thev re conveniently blind.

Mildness; but is there no dishonor ? :,.,'. ;i (rant Is sworn to take caro that Mm i', faithfully executed; and Iu his inaugural liu pro mised to enforce all laws, whetlicrlhey met his personal approval or not, saying that the best way to make a bad law odious and secure its re peal was by its strict enforcement. He is neither fulfilling thnt pledge nor kcepiinr his i,m,.i,.i lath. And he connives at law-breakin.p u.-lii.t any chance of benefiting tho Cubans; for there is no good reason to suppose that their effort for independence will be successful. I lie meeting at tlio Cooper Institute wn n splurgy uftair, which amounts to nothing unless General Grant should choose to consider it ,w ,.n evidence of public sentiment, and mako it an excuse for continuing to give his moral support to the insurrection. Tho speeches, with the ex ception of Mr. McKeon's, were niero gushes of unreasoning sympathy. Mr. McKeon d.vilt largely in precedents and historical f I f n I i mid and his argument was perfectly conclnsivn on the point to which it was mainly directed, namely, that tho Government of this country has always taken a lively interest in Cuba, anil lias long cherished a fixed determination that it shall never pass into the hands of any other European power than Spain. But that argument has no relevance to the present state of facts. There is not tho slightest evidence that any other European power is attempting to acquire Cuba. If there was any sucli design, tho public sentiment of the country would bo unanimous against tole rating it lor an instant, ft would be strenuously resisted by the whole force of nubile oninion. and by tho zealous application of all the re sources of the country. The Cooper Institute meeting was not directed against the acquisition of Cuba by other European powers, but against its retention by Spain. Mr. Mclvoon's citations have therefore no pertinence to any real uues- tiou. They make against him, for our Govern ment lias constantly professed its acquiescence n tho sovereignty ot Spain over tho island un less she should choose voluntarily to nart with t for a valuable consideration. The avow ed purposo of the meeting was to en courage the Government to reeoirnize the inde pendence of Cuba. Except with a view to its mmcdiato annexation to the United States, the independence of Cuba would be a doubtful id vantage, cither to tlio Cubans or to us. There is no reaon to suppose tho people of Cuba aro capable of organizing and maintaining a wise government; and unless they can, their iude- endeuco would tie anything but a blessing. It Cuba is to be a miniature Mexico, she would gain nothing by throwing off the Spanish yoke. From the Kio Grande to Lapo Horn, mere is nothing in the condition ot the countries on this conti nent to justify tho expectation that Cuba would be well governed and prosperous as au inde pendent community. With the exception oi lirazu, wineii is a mouarcny, none of the South American countries have established governments that promote order and progress. There is no reason to suppose that the Spanish race iu Cuba is endowed with politi cal capacity superior to that of their brethren on the continent. 1 raining in free institutions they have had none: and they are entirely desti tute ol all the Habitudes t Hat conduce to politi cal success. The following oxtract from Mr, Richard II. Dana's book. "To Cuba and Back," published iu 1851), shows how utterly destitute the Cubans are of the qualifications requisite lor conducting a tree government: "Sctoneo, arts, letters, arms, manufactures, and tho learn ing aud discussion of politics, of theology, and ot tne great problems and opinions that move tho minds ot the thlukiug world in these the peoplo of Cuba have no part. Thoso move by tneui as tne tiuu stream dritts by ttieir Bliores Nor is there, nor has there been in Cuba, in the memory of the young and middle-aged. debate, or vote, or juries, or one of tho least and most rudiniental processes of self-government Jso luban votes, or attends a lawlul politi cal meeting, or sits on a jury, or sees a law making asseinbh', except a a curiosity abroad. even in a municipality, nor has ho ever helped to maKO, or interpret, or administer laws; or borne arms, except by special license of govern' mcnt granted to sucti as are menus ot govern lent." In another part of his book, Mr. Dana says that one who rellects on the character of the Cubans "mav well be slow to believe that. with their complication of difficulties, and their causes of disorder and weakness with their half million and more of slaves and quarter million or less of free blacks, with their coolies and their divided and hostile races of whites their Spanish blood, and their utter want of experience in the discharge of any public duties, tho Cubans will work our successfully tho problem of self government. You cannot reason from Massa chusetts to Cuba. When Massachusetts entered the Revolution, she had had one hundred aud fifty years of experience iu popular self-government; under a system iu which the exerciso of this power was more generally diffused among; the people, and extended over a larger class of subjects, and more decentralized than had ever been known before iu any nart of tho world, or at any period of tho world's story. She had been ull along, for most purposes, an indepen dent republic, with an obligation to the British empire undefined and seldom attempted to bo enforced." With the example of Mexico and the other rickety and anarchical Spanish-American repub' lies staring us in the face, it is a very wild e.v pectation that the Cubans would succeed, as an independent nation, in establishing and admin istering a good government. But unless they have capacity to do this, their independence would be a "curse instead of a blessing. The immediate annexation of Cuba to the United States is a different question. Under tho super intendence of the Federal Government, and with the largo emigration of American citizens which would How into the island, it might in time be come a sucees-ful republican State; but tho Federal Government has, at present, too much of that kind of superintendence already on its hands, in the negro governments it is attempting to establish in the South. This country had better be in no haste to swallow any more of such crude food, until it has digested the heavy load which is already on its stomach.
