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

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

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

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.
