"THE GI11L OF T1IE rElilOD."
fVom the If. V. Tribune,
How far woman will profit, personiilly and
Bixnally, by that diHounHioii of Lor true rela
tion to the race which lion becomo bo com
mon, cannot at present he aoouratoly deter
mined. We are living in dy of provok
ingly loose dialects; thnre are even thone who
Bppear to think that had logic iH irrcfragihle,
if only it comes from a woman's mouth, and
that she is Bufer in trusting herself to the
guidance of notion which rihe has received
irom others than to those pure intuitions
which have heretofore been her safeguard
and ornament. That woman's place, even in
the highest forms of civilization a place
which has been occupied for centuries with
out a protest is the result of mere acci
dent, or of the superior physical strength
of man, we shall believe, when we
can believe also that human h flairs are gov
erned by no immutable law, and that material
force is the motive power of haman progress.
i'JI-fu we yet able quite to discard certain
opinions concerning the predestinate duties of
maternity the bearing, the nurture, and the
education of children which thousands of
noble, womanly natures have heretofore found
sufficient to save them from ennui and from
frivolity. We may surely be pardoned if we
perceive something more than chance, some
thing more effective than masculine despo
tism, something fixed from the beginning, in
the relative constitution of the sexes, and
with which legislation cannot meddle without
producing mournful and disastrous confusion.
In the beginning we may venture to point
out how extremely difficult, how almost im
possible, it seems to be to discuss these ques
tions with continuous gravity; and without
occasional touches of satire and ridicule. Mr.
Stuart Mill, if we are not mistaken, is the only
first-rate thinker who brings to the champion
ship of "Woman's Eights' '' a serious and
coherent mind; yet even he commits in the
beginning the capital error of regarding the
duties of wife and mother as simply "an
occupation." Against a definition so tho
roughly mechanical as this, every human heart
in a normal condition will indignantly revolt.
Hut though the opinions of Mr. Mill are en
titled, whether he may be right or wrong, to
Ihe most respectful consideration, it may be
Kafoly said that a majority of those who are
loudest in their demands for what they call
the emancipation of woman are also shallow
in their reasoning, trifling in their illustra
tions, and crooked in their philosophy. We
take the liberty of declaring that with a few
notable and praiseworthy exceptions, the fe
male orators who are engaged in promoting
one of the greatest of all possible social revo
lutions do not seem to us to be in earnest.
There is too much jesting. There is too much
scolding, pure and simple. There is too much
loose generalization. There is altogether too
free an assumption of premises, and even from
theBe the conclusions are drawn with an un
Bteady hand. There are too many freaks of
costume, and there are too many frisks of
speech; and too often upon the platforms the
least acute observer detects rather a love of
notoriety than a passion for genuine and per
manent reform of social errors. To strengthen
their position, and to make up for deficient
reasoning, by presenting in their own persons
B concrete argument in support of substantial
Sexual identity, women, thus far, have too
often Bhown a disposition to imitate the worst
masculine peculiarities, and to astonish so
ciety into acquiescence, even if they cannot
convince. The inevitable result of this is to
give a ridiculous air to the whole proceeding,
and to encourage the gibes of the mocking
and the irreverent. Men truly are not to
blame if the boisterous disagreements of
female conventions lead them to refuse to
attach to the proceedings of such assemblages
more than a moderate degree of importance.
As evidence of the truth of what we have
just asserted, we might point to a new maga
zine which has recently been set on foot in
England, and which is entitled The Girl of Vie
JPci-iod. This is a slang title a translation,
we believe, from the French which has been
of late a good deal in the mouths of English
men and women, and the exact purport of
which we have never been able to determine.
Even the journal before us is not particularly
felicitous in its definition. "The Girl of the
Period," it says, "is a natural outgrowth of
circumstances. She is an involuntary Pro
test. She is the masculine Giggle of the Hour.
She is the Irony of the Situation." What
this means, we cannot undertake to deter
mine; but the well-executed engravings of this
magazine explain sufficiently its appearance
in the literary market. Anything more
thoroughly vapid and worthless than its letter
press, anything more flimsy than its contribu
tions, anything sillier than its prose and its
verse, we do not, after a rather long experi
ence of such matters, remember to have en
countered. The prints, however, are no
doubt expected to atone for the pages; and
for those who think that leg-pieces are the
noblest productions of art, these illustrations
must have an unspeakable charm. There is
a picture of "The Croquet Girl" in a short
petticoat; of "The Nautical Girl" in a shorter
petticoat; of "The Hunting Girl" in a petti
coat briefer still; and of "The Bullet
Girl" in no petticoat at all. There
is a picture of "The Ladies' Dressing Room"
of. "A Private Theatre," with one "lady"
(smoking a cigar) in tights and trunk hose,
and another "lady" gesticulating in trousers
before an enormous minor. There is a pic
ture of "The AbysKinian Girl of the Period,"
in sufficiently scanty raiment. There is a pic
ture of a young lady in ducks and a Jersey
Jacket, pushing a skiff from the shore. There
is a picture of "A Muscular Maiden," who has
knocked down an impudent gamin. There is
a picture of two girls making a most liberal
" display of their limbs upon velocipedes. But
our cuiaiogue is sumcient. me woria un
doubtedly advances (or recedes). Ten years
ago such pictures would not have been
tolerated in any magazine published outside
the walls of Paris; and it is from
Parisian levity and looseness that these artists
have drawn their inspiration. They are of
the French, Frenchy. No delicacy of execu
lion can conceal their prepense coarseness
and sonsuality. They seek, not to promote
the true interest of woman, but to gratify
the grossest physical tastes of man. Such
works may answer, however, a useful purpose
US a warning. They show that the old safe
guards of home, the old influence of well
uennea social relations, tne oia moas or ma
iroiilv and of maidenly rmritv. are not to be
Utterly discarded without incurring frightful
(lungers, and diminishing that modesty which
can make even homeliness beautiful. The wild
license with which wd -are threatened can
ha no charms for that man who truly loves
Ins mother, his wife, his sisters, his daugh
ters. Ready as we are to go as far as any
C&o in ail acts of justice to woman, disclaim-
ing all desire to make her either a plaything I
or a slave, anxious for the full cultivation of '
her intellectual powers, regarding her purity
with reverence, and solicitous for the full de
velopment of her peculiar mental powers, we
should yet be blinder than blind if we did
not nee that innumerable dangers must attend
a sudden change of relations which have been
naturally established aud so long maintained.
It is one thing to abolish laws which inju
riously affect the material interests of married
women it is quite another to attempt the
repeal of nature's ordinances.
SOURCES OF STRENGTH IN THE
CANVASS.
From tht A. '. Times.
It is fortunate for the Republican party
that the gcnernl policy of Congress, and tha
course marked out by General Grant for his
administration, furnish precisely those
elements of strength which most readily com
mend themselves to the favor of the people.
While the more thoughtful of the Democrats
are engoged in the almost hopeless task of
weaning their party from its worn-out tra
ditions, and inspiring it with an appreci
ation of new issues, the llepublioan may
confidently point to what they hava
accomplished, and what they are doing,
as evidence of ability to satisfy the re
quirements of the country. These require
ments we take mainly to be, the introduction
of honesty and purity into the administration
of the Government, economy in every branch
of the public service, the improvement of the
public credit, a readjustment and large reduc
tion of taxation, and the earliest possible
completion of the business of reconstruction.
Enough has occurred to show that on each
point the popular wish is reflected in the mea
sures of Congress and the work to which the
administration, during its brief existence, has
faithfully applied itself.
To estimate properly what has been effected,
it is necessary to keop in mind the condition
to which the rule of Andrew Johnson had re
duced public affairs. His conflict with Con
gress entailed other evils than those connected
with reconstruction. The entire service of
the Government was demoralized. Expendi
tures were kept up to the war standard long
after the exigencies which had occasioned
them had passed away. Corruption pervaded
every department. The revenue service was
largely in the hands of imbeciles and knaves.
Organized fraud turned into private channels
streams that should have found their way
into the Treasury. Thus while all forms of
expenditure, civil and military, were main
tained on an extravagant scale, the collection
of the revenue everywhere suffered from
the operations of swindlers and thieves. In
tegrity seemed to have been banished from
the service where it was most needed, and
the revenue service became a scandal to the
Government and a source of constant and
ruinous loss.
The advent to power of General Grant
wrought an immediate change. Congress
had performed its share of the work called
for with an energy against which outgoing
secretaries had peevishly remonstrated. The
appropriations were largely cut down. The
army was greatly reduced, and a plan in
augurated which will reduce it further. The
navy was shorn of its costliness And effec
tive means were adopted to carry the same
practice of economy into every department.
All that was possible in this direction may
not have been accomplished by Congress,
but nearly all was done that seemed to be
expedient until the results of earnest co-operation
on the part of the Executive had been
fairly tested. A period less than four months,
is too brief to develop these results fully.
But it has sufficed to bring about great re
forms, and to justify sanguine expectations
as to the working of a Republican adminis
tration. General Garfield, in a speech delivered the
other day at Columbus, sketched some of the
more striking characteristics of the four
months' effort. First, as to the revenue. Its
collection has been transferred to capable and
honest men. The rascally "rings" which too
long controlled it have been broken up, and
reforms have been brought into play with
immediate advantage to the Treasury.
Although the first three quarters of the fiscal
year yielded but 250,000,000, the current
quarter will yield not less than $10,000,000
or $20,000,000 more than was received in any
single quarter under Johnson. The whisky
tax exemplifies the change in detail. In May,
1H(8, the total manufacture cave to the
revenue but ' $l,fi00,000, whereas last month
it produced &4,f()0,000, with thirty-six col
lection districts yet to be heard from. And
every branch ot the revenue service exhibits
proportionate improvement. With the reve
nne thus rendered more productive,'' we may
confidently anticipate material reductions in
taxes next session.
Turning to the expenditure side of the ac
count, General Garfield's statements are
equally suggestive. During .the first three
quarters of the present fiscal year the ex
penditures amounted to $2.r,000,000, or an
average exceeding !f8.',000,000. On the other
hand, in the current quarter they will not ex
ceed ti0,000,000, or 25,0OO,00O less than in
any other quarter of the year. Not only,
then, will the Congressional appropriations,
reduced as they were, meet the wants of the
Government under General Grant, but there
will be a surplus of some $,'37,000,000, and
the nuisance of deficiency bills appears likely
to be avoided for the nrst time in years,
Meanwhile, too, the reduction of the public
debt goes on, and the Treasury management
though not absolutely free from defects, com
mands a degree of public confidence which
best testifies to its integri ty.
These are considerations which tax-payers
will appreciate. Ihey are evidence ot an
intelligent performance of duty on the part of
Uongress, ana of zeal, judgment, and mteg.
rity on the part of the administration. The
Democrats may invent new issues, if they
cun. The Republican party, in the discussion
ol national an airs, may point with well
grounded satisfaction to what it is doing in
the matter of economy, and to the foundations
it is laying for the measures of relief which
trade and industry unitedly demand. Its
strength is in its works, and these will endure
scrutiny.
A NEW SECRETARY OF THE NAVY.
From the N. T. World.
The resignation of the feoblo Mr. Borie and
the appointment of the unknown small New
Jersey lawyer, Robeson, to the vacated place,
is so little of a chtthge that it would hardly be
worth public comment, if it did not furnish a
new proof that President Grant is incapable
of learning anything by experience. Mr.
Borie has been a common butt of ridicule by
Republicans as well as Democrats, and one
might have supposed that even the narrow
stohd mind of General Grant would have
made a better use of the opportunity afforded
by Bono's resignation than to have appointei
uuuiuet uovice ana nobody as the nominal
head of the Navy Department. The Presi
dent has as little comprehension of the means
of mukuig his administration strong and suc
cessful s lie Lad wLen Le nft selected a
Cabinet which filled his political friends with
mortification and his political foes with I
amazement.
When President Grant came into oflbc, he
found the executive department of the Gov
ernment dwarfed and belittled by the en
croachments of a usurping Congress, which
had virtually absorbed into itsfdf all the
powers of the Government. He hal no con
ception of any other method of recovering
the just influence of the Executive than by
procuring the repeal of the Tenuro-of-O.U3j
law, and thereby gaining the means of opera
ting upon the most vulgar and sordid motive
by which men can be influenced in publio
life. Instead of aiming to gain control of
vast and corrupting patronage, as if that
were tho chief instrument of a statesman's
power, General " Grant, if he had boon
equal to his responsibilities, should have
made it his first aim to rival Congress in its
control over public opinion. He should have
broutiht into his Cabinet the seven ablest
men in the Republican party; men not
merely of conspicuous ability, but of wide
political and personal connections and recog
nized weight in the party. II he had sought
these, and found (hem, in Congress itself, he
would have weakened the influence of that
body by the loss of its most commanding in
tellects, as well as strengthened the Executive
by their accession to the Cabinet. Oeneral
Grant's only chance of forming a vigorous
and efficient administration consisted in
bringing into it natural leaders of
public opinion with whom Congress
could not quarrel without sinking itself in
the estimation of the imrty, and whom it
could not persistently oppose or slight
without splitting the party into fragments.
What would become of the liberal party in
England if it should get at variance with
Gladstone and Bright and Lowe and the other
leaders whose eloquence, counsels, and weight
with the country give them their great ascend
ancy over the public opinion of Great Britain?
Or how long could any British Ministry stand
against public contempt if it wore composed
ot men as imbecile and unknown as most of
the members of the Cabinet of President
Grant ? If General Grant had formed
his Cabinet of seven of the best
known and best trusted' statesmen of
the Republican party, of tho men
who furnish the party with idoas, and are
strongly entrenched in its allections, his ad
ministration might have been the master of
Congress instead of its slave. There is not
in his Cabinet a single individual who is a
born leader of men; not one who ever had, or
is capable of forming, wide political connec
tions; not one who ever originated, or is
capable of originating, a great public measure;
not one who ever made a speech or composed
a state paper that deeply impressed tho pub
lic mind. In a free country, where govern
ment is merely the agent of public opinion.
the political power will be actually wielded by
those who have the best natural and acquired
gifts for commanding the confidence and
influencing the judgments of their, fellow-
citizens. If all such men are found in Con
gress, and none of, them in the Executive,
the Executive will, - necessarily be without
weight or prestige, and Congress will monopo
lize the cont rol of public an airs. In Eng land,
where the Ministry is the creature of
the- House of Commons, and deposed as often
as it is outvoted,, the Executive is neverthe
less very powerful, because it is always com
posed of the very strongest men of the
ascendant party.. In our own. country, an
administration remains in office four years, in
spite of Congress; but if it consists of men
destitute of political weight, it must be an, ob
ject of perpetual contempt. ' Office is not in
fluence, but only, a position in which influ
ence is possible when filled; by men formed
and trained for political leadership. If Gene
ral Grant had not found the Executive Depart
ment of tho uovernment curtailed and weak,
he would have quickly made it so by filling it
with BucUi a squad of uicapables us. he has
foisted rito the highest offices.
MEXICO Wn AT SHALL WE DO WITH IT.'
From tht N. Y. Herald.
We published yesterday a short but crisp
letter from the city of Mexico. -'The entire
foreign population of that decaying republic
.ooks hopefully for annexation, absorption, an
American protectorate, or any other change
which will insure security to life and capital
and progress to the country. The Mexican
people are anxious and will which most jeal
ously the behavior of Mr. Nelson and an out
cropping of Grant's Mexican policy." This is
a graphic and exact piotnre of the condition
of the public mind in Mexico. The growth
ot the contiguous northern republics is pro
jecting the shadow of a colossal figure over
the land, which every man sees and recog
mzes. .those who nave interests at stake in
the commercial channels of tho country con
template it hopefully, while those whose wel
fare is connected with the landed and labor
interests look at it doubtfully and suspiciously,
because they know not how the impending
and inevitable change will anect them.
No sensible man no, not even a sensible,
thoughtful Mexican believes that order can
be established permanently m Mexico with
out the interposition or aid of some other na
tion more powerful and more advauced in
civilization, and there is no nation that can in
terpose or give a helping hand but the United
States. As to the development oi tho won
derful natural resources of that country and
its progress m wealth and population, the
Mexicans can do nothing themselves. Decay
is seen everywhere. Though one of the richest
and most beautiful countries in tho worl d, a
moral, political, and material blight rests upon
it. from which there is no recovery but by the
infusion of new social, political, and industrial
elements. J ho day ot either Spanish or na
t.ve power has passed. Neither can hold Jttex
ieo up to the progressive spirit of tho age, or
even to her present position. lender purely
native Indian rule, or that of tho mixed races,
she must decline. The spasmodic efforts
made under the government ot tho Indian
chief, Juarez, to preserve Mexico are credit
able enough, but nothing has been accom
plished m the way ol harmony or progress,
nor could that Government itself have pre
served its existence but for tho United States,
The Mexicans may struggle against their fate,
and talk, as they are accustomed to talk, bom
bastically of their own powers ot reounera
tion and of maintaining their national integ
rity, but their decay is beyond remedy, and
they have to follow the fute of many greater
nations in hibtory in this inevitable disso
lution. These results are recognized in the recent
speech of the retiring United States Minister
at Mexico, General Rosecrans, on tho occasion
of a publio dinner in the city of Mexico.
General Rosecrans admits there is no hope
for the future of Mexico but in the infusion
of new elements, as those of immigration,
railroads, and other means of progress. But
he remarks that these new elements must
come soon, or hope will be lost. He speaks,
however, at the same time of Mexico pre
serving her own autonomy. That is an error.
It is the fatul error that uow holds the Mexi
cans back from progress. The fear of losing
their autonomy Las prevented immigration,
improvements, and progress, and is fust ruin
ing the country. Nor will the American
Government and people undertake to im
prove Mexico, and give her good institutions
and liberal aid every way, without sove
reign power over the territory.. We
cannot undertake a more protectorate
over such a troublesome and helpless people.
we must have tho country, and then, with
possession, population from every part of this
country, with capital and enterprise, would
pour into Mexico. It would be the history of
California over again. The new elements
would revolutionize in a peaceful manner old
decaying Mexico, and we should hive a new
ftate of things, which would be far better than
this humbug of a mere sentiment about nre-
ervinr; the autonomy of the nation. The only
hope for Mexico is in admission to the Amttri-
cou Union, and the Hooner her people find
that out tho better. That is the only auto
nomy worth taking about, or that is practi
cable on this North American Continent.
What Mexico needs is an insight to th
manner in which this is to bo attained, and a
short view of its practical working after the
step is taken. The problem of the manner
must be worked out in Washington, and con
stitutes the great policy which is to succeed
tho Monroe doctrine on this continent. The
resolution of General Banks, offcrod during
the recent session of Congress, for the exten
sion of a protectorate over St. Domingo, had
a leaning in tho right direction, but was in
adequate to the great work before us. What
is wanted is a clear and distinct enunciation
of the fact that any of the republics south of
us which dosire to come into the Amorican
Union on equal terms with the existing mem
bers will meet a favorable consideration in
Washington, with tho assurance that their
local and municipal legislation will not be dis
turbed, and that all private rights will bo
respected, ihe recent amendments to our
Constitution make this step feasible to the
republics south of us, and one successful
exumple is all that is required to carry our
boundary, without purchiiso or conquost, to
me isthmus ol uanon.
OUR GOVERNMENT AND THE CUBAN
STRUGGLE.
From the N. Y. Time.
The ground which our Government has
taken from the start, and still maintains, re
garding the Cuban struggle, is simply that of
duty under tho admitted requirements of in
ternational law. As it did not, on the one
hand, render any officious, premature aid to
the Spanish authorities in ferretina out
Cuban sympathizers," so, on the other
hand, it has not fullen short of its full duty
in promptly checking any known designs to
violate international law. The assertion of a
contemporary that the Government "raised
false hopes in the Cuban sympathizers, which
it now as cruelly crushes,' is as unfounded as
it is unjust. The chances of success in .the
Cuban movement never were taken into con
sideration, as wo have been given to under
stand, in any Cabinet consultation as to what
governmental duty required.
1 or ourselves, we see no inconsistency what
ever in the present marked activity f the
authorities in preventing violations of tb.elaw,
as contrasted with any previous conduct of
the authorities. What our Government de
clined to do in the first instance was io pro
ceed to harsh measures on more suspicion;
when, however, direct information, of; a sort
that could be efficiently acted upon, vas fur
nished to it by the Spanish Minister, of in
tended criminality, it acted instantly and
satisfactorily. And one proof of tie good
faith which our Government has maintained
towards Spain as a friendly powor is the
satisfaction of its official representatives
in this country. Contrast this, with tho
experience of Mr. Adams in London in 18IJ1
and 1802.
On the other hand, it is duo to. our Govern
ment to observe that it has a twofold difficulty
a popular and a geographical; difficulty in
maintaining its straightforwardness regarding
tho Cuban question. On ' the- one hand, our
people have sympathized heartily with the
Cuban cause and so, doubtless, individually.
have the members of tho administration,
which, unlike its predecessors, agrees cor
dially with a majority of the people, both in
foreign and domestic political questions. On
the other hand, the proximity of Cuba to our
coast, our enormous sea-board lino, the largo
number of restless and adventurous spirit,
whom the war left in our large cities, and the
great number of our resident Cubans, have
made it difficult to discover plots for unlawful
expeditions. Nevertheless, as we have said,
the Spanish authorities have had no reason to
complain of their information being slighted.
Now, of the alleged cases of "neglect of
duty" which some papers, for partisan pur
poses, have set in array against our Govern
ment, the greater part will be found to in
volve no neglect at all. We have before ex
plained how the selling of arms in open
market, and similar procedures, had been
misunderstood or misrepresented as infrac
tions of law by some of our contemporaries.
And as for the very few "hostile expeditions"
which have really started from our ports,
those that were not checked were not known
until they had safely.escaped. It was after
their departure that even the papers got wind
of them. The truth is that the Government's
honesty and rectitude of purpose in the
Cuban matter have been made manifest;
and the very disagieeableness of its duty
should secure it praise. As for tho unfair
pretense of the 11 orlrf that the late activity of
tho Government was caused by a decline in
Cuban prospects, it is contradicted by facts.
Cuban prospects for independence were never
brighter than now.
GEN. BURN BIDE ND THE COLORED
BROTHER.
From the iV. Y. World.
"Charity," tho apostlo tolls us, "is not
puffed up, and behaveth itself not unseemly."
Clearly, Charity is no colored man and
brother. The American of African descent is
sadly puffed up, and behaveth himself most
unseemly.
In Washington, tho other day, he made a
horrible attempt to outrage a young white
cirl of seventeen, the daughter of a clergy
man, as it chanced, who has been very con
spicuous in exalting the "loyal negro above
the "disloyal whitev' of tho South. The ex
altation of .the "loyal negro" above tho truly
lpyal white of tho North, however, strikes him
less favorubly.
And hero in New York tho colored man
and brother "went buck" in tho most
lamentable manner upon no less eminent a
"friend of freedom" than Governor Burnside,

passenger, awakening and finding his boots
thus thoroughly "cleaned," caused the arrest
of C. M. and B. Governor Burnside, chancing
to be on the train, thought it impossible a
colored man and brother who had saved the
life of the nation" could stoop to steal cosh
out of a white man's boots. So he volun
teered to defend C. M. aud B., and even to
become his kail. But, Jidas! tho musing
