FATHER HYACINTHE AND THE TOrE.
From Out X Y. Herald. t
l'oor Father Hyacinthe ! He is trader the
ban of the Church. A late telegram informs
tia that his case is to be made the subject of
canonical investigation. His excommunica
tion, it is added, is probable. A late telegram
from Tads informs us that the good father,
who lovos roason more than faith, liberty of
opinion more than ecclesiastical unity, is not
to be loft alone. lie is to be defended in the
Council by such men as the Bishops of
Avignon, llheims, Chalons, and Uayeux. If
Buch men have promised to defend him, we
cannot say poor Hyacinthe any more, lie is
not likely to be left more to himself than
was Luthur at Augsburg and at Worms; and
it is safe to conclude that his friends at the
Vatican will be more numerous than were the
friends of Luther at the Council of Trent.
YVe do not imagine, however, that Hyacinthe
is to prove himself another Luther. It is
doubtful whether, with all his excellencies, he
has in him the stuff out of which great reform
ers are made. Hyacinthe is only a Frenchman.
Luther was a German. The difference means
something. We do not expect more from the
f ood father than a sort of neutral tint reform,
t will not be very decided. Still he may go
far enough, considering the backing he has
got, to cut off the Oallican Church from
liome. We dare not say that France cares
very much for the connection, or places very
much value in what some people call the one
Church. The truth is the Frenoh people are
Hot very churchy. What they worship is
personal liberty. Grant them that and every
thing else may go where it pleases. If Napo
leon were a younger man he might have
proved a good and powerful friend to Father
Hyacinthe. As it is he may be useful. But
the Empress! In her lies the difficulty. She
is sure to hold on by the Pope's coat tails. If
Father Hyacinthe is at all well backed up the
Council will be a tremendous failure, and all
our former predictions will be fulfilled.
Popery came in with State patronage, which
gave it a local habitation, if not a name, under
Charlemagne. It will go out when State
patronage ceases and when there is no longer
a Charlemagne to support it. Nor will any
Eugenie, holding on by any coat tails or by
the skirts of any garments, by whatever name
named, save it.
nOW TO MAKE BETTER RAILROADS.
From the N. Y. Times.
Whenever a broken rail throws off a train,
or the enormous cost of maintaining perma
nent way is under discussion, there is a gene
ral outcry against the poor iron of modern
production, and a longing for the skill,
science, and honesty among manufacturers
that used to make rails last twenty years.
Nothing can be more touching than the pious
regrets of a railway manager, standing among
the debris of rails, axles, and machinery worn
out in the flower of their youth, at the de
generacy of the metallurgical skill and con
science of the period. In order that the
Eublic may understand how far their risks of
fe and loss of dividends are due primarily
to this cause, we invite their attention to the
following facts and considerations.
The general rule in this country (to which
indeed there are exceptions), in regard to the
purchase of railway materials is simply this
buy the cheapest. First cost is the controll
ing and often the only question entertained.
The nature of the materials and processes to
be used in the manufacture of rails, for in
stance, are not mentioned. The buyers for
some of our roads, especially new roads,
never make the slightest allusion to quality,
and never specify tests and inspections, but
simply go about among the mills, comparing
and beating down prices, and accept
ing the very lowest. More than one
of our railmakers are to-day rolling, under
protest, rails upon which they decline to put
their trade mark rails made from the very
cheapest materials, in the very meanest man
ner for ell that is required is that they shall
stick together till they are laid. And if Ame
rican makers will not roll thorn, Welsh makers
will. The late report of the State Engineer
of New York says: "American railway mana
gers, instead of offering anything like a rea
sonable price for good iron rails, have made
.themselves notorious by establishing as
Standard a brand of rails known all over the
world as 'American rails,' which are con
fessedly bought and sold as the weakest,
most impure, least worked, least dura
ble and cheapest rails that can be produced."
The State Engineer refers in confirmation of
this opinion to the statement of Mr. A. S.
Hewitt, United States Commissioner to the
Paris Exposition, a statement not yet con
troverted; and to a statement of Mr. Sand
berg, an English engineer of note, in the
London Times. A leading American railway
President and reformer has publicly said:
"There is a fear on my part that railway
companies will themselves tempt steel makers
to send a poor article by buying the cheapest
first cost only considered as they did with
the iron masters."
There is also a class of railway managers
who pretend, and possibly believe, that they
cannot get good iron rails; that the existing
processes for cheapening iron in all stages of
its manufacture render it impracticable to
produce the uniform and excellent material
formerly made. Now, while it is true that
much poor iron is called for and sold, it is
notorious that a better knowledge of chemis
try and the modern improvements in ma
chinery enable iron-masters to produce a
more excellent and uniform material than
ever before, as well as to reduce its cost.
These general facts are well enough known
to those who have taken the trouble to in
quire. But we are not confined to general
facts. There are particular cases that cover
the whole issue. The one we shall mention
now is, fortunately, of such a character that
no private interest can affect the statement or
be affected bv it. Early in ISM, the Reading
Railway Company commenoed rolling their
own rasls by an improved metnoa, ana some
of them have already been down long enough,
under the immense coal traffic of that road,
, to vindicate this policy. For instance, out
of 0(MK) tons of home-made rails which had
carried a certain trailio during the last nine
,, months of 1808, only Ave tons, or one in 1800
tons, had worn out Dunne the Rama time.
and under the Bame traffic, out of 2000 tons
of rails made by the old process at an outside
mill of good repute, about 2(H) tons, or one in
ten, had been worn out and removed, and the
indications are that the remaining 1800 tons
will be unfit for use at the end of this vear
' At a point in the road near Reading, where
.'- shifting from connecting lines is added to the
',. regular tonnago. the life of rails made bv
, the various old processes is from three to four
months. Home rails only last six weeks. At
thin point, the rails, made by the new prooess
" iiave already been down sixteen months, and
are stiu sound, although much worn. 4. he
., f rouble with, ordinary ixoa rails, as we hava
explained on another occasion, is that they
go to pieces before they get a chance to
wear out.
The host Iron rails cost perhnps twelve to
fifteen dollars per ton more than the poorest,
but if they last twice or thrioe as long, no
railroad manager will pretend to doubt their
economy. The trouble is that some railroad
managers, and especially the builders of new
roads, never consider the question of dura
bility. . Nor iB there any secret or difficulty
in the manufacture of good iron rails. One
process, which makers are sometimes forced
into by low prices, is to out up old rails, pile
them together and roll thorn into slabs to
form the head of a new rail. The re
mainder of the pile from which the new
rail is rolled is simply old rails cut up
and laid together. Not a particle of new
iron, which would greatly help the welding,
is added, for that costs some six or seven
dollars per ton, more than old rails; and not
half work enough is done on the loose bundle
of iron forming the rail pile to compact it.
Nothing is more certain than that such rails
will go to pieces in the welds after short ser
vice. The method adopted by Mr. Coxe, of
the Reading Railway Company'sWll and the
same or a better one would be gladly adopted
by private makers if companies would pay for
it is as follows: Some 70 per cent, of old
rails and SO percent, of new iron (puddle-bar)
are laid in a pile and rolled into slabs an inch
thick. Seven thicknesses of these slabs are
again piled, reheated, and rolled into a head
piece two inches thick, which forms the top
of the rail pile. The remainder of the pile is
made up of seven thicknesses of the slabs
before mentioned, the whole boing heated and
rolled into a rail. In this way the body of
the rail is twice compacted by heat and pres
sure, and the head, that receives the direct
action of the car wheels, is three times sub
jected to this condensing operation.
A rail thus made, instead of being a bundle
of heterogeneous laminw stuck together by
cinder, and ready to split apart under the
hammering of wheels, is a dense, compaot,
and comparatively homogeneotis mass, which
offers resistance not only to abnormal splin
tering, but to normal abrasion and wear, just
in proportion to the work put upon it in the
rolling mill. It is the perfect homogeneity of
steel that enables it to outlast the best iron,
even more remarkably than the best iron
outlasts the poorest; and the nearer iron
rails approach in structure to steel rails, the
longer will they last, and the less will they
cost in the end.
It is time that this pitiful talk about the
impossibility of getting good rails was
stopped. There is no doubt that some rail
makers "scamp" their work a peculiarity of
the period not confined to rail-making but
the worst of them can and will make good
rails, if railway manners will give thorn a
chance and institute suitable tests and in
spections. "WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION HAS
DONE IN SIX MONTHS."
Fvm the JV. Y. World.
"The eloquent speech delivered last Saturday at
narrisl)ur)r by Hon. Columbus Delano, Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, contains an able and striking
summary of that part of the administration's work
which has come under his own oillcial notice. It
conilrms by facts and figures the declaration so often
made in our columns, that it would soon be found
that the elective work of the present administration
would compare favorably with that of any of Its pre
decessors. While the witlings have been letting slip
their shafts at what they are pleased to censure as
the Government's 'idleness,' retrenchment and eco
nomy have everywhere been going on apace, and
none th i less effectively because so quietly." X. Y.
Time.
No President ever stood so much in need
of magnifying glasses to render his merits
visible as General Grant; and the stross of
politics in the Pennsylvania election has
called out one of his office-holders in a defen
sive, laudatory speech. When nothing better
can be said in favor of our roving, smoking,
horse-jockeying chief magistrate than is said
by Mr. Commissioner Delano in his speech at
Uarrisburg, his cose is weak indeed. If an
orator should undertake to give an Jionest re
cital of what General Grant has done since the
inauguration, what could he say ? The new
President was immediately confronted with
two important foreign questions the Ala
bama claims question, and the Cuban
question. Respecting the first, he. has done
nothing; and in respect to the. second,
nothing with which anybody is pleased. He
has not made np his mind, and has thus far
proved incapable of making up his mind, on
either. He flounders without a policy; being
reputed an excellent judge of choice breeds of
pups and fast horses, but lacking informa
tion and resources to qualify him for form
ing opinions on international duties and obli
gations. On questions of domestic politics
he gives no better satisfaction. Even the
Tribune took nun to task on Tuesday, ana
gave him a sharp lecture on his mismanage
ment in tne Koutnern states, aeoianng tnac it
has stood by him as long as it could, "and
will keep silence no longer" under the pre
vailing mismanagement. Half the Republi
can papers of the country have censured and
derided tne weakness oi nis appointments,
and his profuse bestowal of offices on men
who have made him presents. Such being
his imbecility and his loss of popularity sinoe
he came into his great omce, nis partisans in
Pennsylvania did not misjudge in thinking
that if anything could be said in his vindica
tion, it is high time that somebody should be
brought forward to Bay it.
Mr. Delano is perliaps as gooa a selection
as could have been made for this purpose,
considering that revenue and expenditure
were deemed the only colorable ground of
defense, and that an officer oi the Kevenue
Department might have Borne hope of being
believed on his mere authority without a
strict scrutiny into his statements. But when
his speech iB examined, it will be found to be
a tissue oi tne most impudent sop Castries ever
put forth by a disingenuous partisan in sup
port of an indefensible cause. Delano cries
up General Grant (and this is his chief topio
of praise) because a greater revenue is col
lected on whisky this year, with a tax of fifty
cents on the dollar, than was oollected last
year under President Johnson, when the tax
was two dollars. This sounds plausible
only so long as it is addressed to igno
rance. When the tax was two dollars, the
profits of illicit distillation were so enormous
that no energy or vigilance could have pre
vented frauds on the revenue. It was be
cause Congress was of this opinion that it
reduced the tax to fifty cents before General
Grant 'was elected President. If Congress
had been of opinion that any amount of
honesty, capacity, or vigor could collect the
two dollars, it would have left the tax at that
rate, and have given General Grant the op
portunity to win golden opinions by collecting
it when bis predecessor had failed. But
nobody believed that so high a tax could be
collected. Mr. Rollins, Delano's predeoessor
as Commissioner of Internal Revenue, a Re
publican who never lost standing with the
party, and was kept In office in spite of Presi
dent Johnson, recommended the reduction of
the tax on the ground that so high
a tax could never be collected, and
that a lower rate would yield a
larger revenue. It reflects neither credit
nor disoredit on General Grant thit thU opi
nion proves to bo correct. The increase of
the revenue is the predicted consoqnenee of
the reduction of the tax a reduction in which
General Grant had no agoncy, and for the
expected fruits of which ho deserves no
praise. The unfairness of Mr. Delano in
contrasting several months of General Grant's
administration with the corresponding mont hs
of President Johnson's last year, will be ap
parent when we recall a passage in the lust
annual report of Commissioner Rollins, who,
in accounting for the small revenue from
whisky for several months preceding the re
duction of the tax, said that it was
owing to the fact that the reduction was
expected by the distillers, and that they
therefore left their whisky in the bondod
warehouses to take advantage of the antici
pated change in the law. They would have
been fools to have taken their whisky out of
bond and paid two dollars tax, when they
were expecting that Congress would soon
exact but a small fraction of that rate. It
was inevitable that, during the period of sus
pense and expectation, the revenue from
whisky Bhould almost entirely cease by the
bonding of the whole product of the dist il
leries on which any tat was meant to be paid.
And Mr. Delano has the impudent effrontery
to contrast those months of suspense and
stoppage with the corresponding months of
the following year, when the tax had been
settled at fifty cents! General Grant must
be in sore need of eulogy when it can be
found only in such pitiful sophistry.
Mr. Delano says that the revenue is moro
faithfully colloctod under General Grant than
it was under President Johnson. We do not
doubt it. The reason is that President John
son was not allowed to select his own officers.
The Tenure-of-Olfice law tied his hands and
prevented the removal of Mr. Lincoln's ap
pointees, depriving him of the power to pre
vent the rascalities of revenue collectors
whom he did not select and could not con
trol or cashier. The first thing General
Grant did when he became President was to
demand the repeal of the Tenure-of Office
law, declaring that he could not otherwise
collect the revenue. After a struggle of seve
ral weeks between him and Congress, the law
was so modified as to give him control of his
subordinates; and now ho is absurdly praised
for excelling Mr. Johnson when Mr. Johnson
moved in fetters. If the tax on whisky had
remained at two dollars, and General Grant's
hands had been tied by the Tonure-of-Office
law, the tax would not have been any better
collected than it was under his predecessor.
Mr. Delano bestows preposterous praise on
General Grant because some of the expenses
of the Government have been reduced. Gene
ral Grant has had no more ageucy in the re
ductions than the man in the moon. Alaska
was paid for last year; but he deserves no
commendation because that payment hap
pened to fall last year instead of this. The
Frecdmen's Bureau was abolished just before
he came into office; it is ridiculous to praise
him for the stoppage of this source of ex
pense. The same remark will apply to the
cessation of military government in seven of
the ten revolted States. The extra bounties
to soldiers ceased just before his inaugura
tion; in the preceding year they drained the
Treasury of nearly twenty-five million dollars.
The Pacific Road was just on the point of com
pletion when his administration commenced,
stopping an increase of the publio debt which
had been going on in the last years of his
predecessor. To make a merit for General
Grant of reductions of expenses in which he
had not the slightest agency is absurd and
dishonest; but it was only by absurdity and
dishonesty that Commissioner Delano was able
to say anything that even ignorance could ao
cept as an extenuation of President Grant's
f eebl eness and imbecility.
OUR NATIONAL BANK SYSTEM.
From the Chicago Republican.
The recent press despatches from New
York contained an item which probably at
tracted little more than a passing glance from
the general reader, yet it involves a world of
meaning. We allude to tne toiiowing state
ment: "The Tenth National Bank is in
trouble. There has been a run on it all this
morning. It is reported that it will have to
suspend unless other banks assist it. len
years ago, such a state of things Burrounding
one of the prominent financial institutions in
the money centre of this country would have
been regarded as portentous in the extreme,
and have become a principal topic tor news
paper discussion in every direction. Now
the pecuniary disturbance directly interests
and flurries probably no more than the de
positors and a few others. To-day, if any
merchant, in any part of the Union, should
discover among his funds a $100 bill on the
Tenth National Bank of New York, he will
likely enough nonchalantly count it in the
sum of his resources, just as he would a bill
of the same denomination on any other bank,
instead of being thrown into a fever of
anxiety, as he would have been one decade
ago, and instantly cautioning his employes
to be on the lookout for issues of that insti
tution. What causes the difference in the impelling
motives now and then ? Why should a per
son who is the holder of a bill on a failing
bank, in the year ltSG'.l, feel no apprehension,
while the same circumstance happening in the
year 1851) would have aroused him into in
stant caution ? It must be because the latter
fact would have indicated danger or l.ss
through immediate depreciation of the cur
rent value of the note in hi3 possession, while
now the embarrassment of the bank does not
work positive or lasting detriment to the
bill or the holder. Here we see conspicuously
exemplified the abundant advantages and
safety of our present banking 6ystem over
that formerly in vogue under State auspices.
By it the excessive competition induced by
the undue multiplication of banks, and by
their arts and devices to obtain an undue
share of the circulation, is prevented. Limited
in number, capital, and issues, and subject to
national supervision, these institutions can
not resort to those malign and dangerous
practices which were once adopted to elude
responsibility and eke out profits by which
the currency was alternately distended and
contracted, the publio deceived, and the
banks themselves put in jeopardy. Under
the present system a bill-holder cannot be
subjected to ultimate loss, even though the
bank should fail. In the hands of the Gov
ernment remain at all times assets fully suffi
cient to satisfy the claims of those who hold
the bank's issues.
It iB well to bear such facts and contrasts in
mind when Democrats of the Pendletonian
stripe raise a hue and cry against the national
banks as bond-holding oligarchies, feeding
with rapacious insolence upon the hard earn
ings of the people, and putting a bit in the
mouth of commerce. Whatever imperfec
tions our banking system may be blemished
with, nothing is more certain than that it is
far in advance of anything which we have ever
had before in this country, and that Demo
crats, while essaying to demolish it, do pot
propose any substitute that can fulfil its func
tions or inspire the business community and
the people with equal confidence. It in a
monument of Republican skill and HUtoi- J
manslup that will endure the test of scrutiny
as it has already endured the tost of practice.
Whatever defects it may posness may be eli
minated without-destroying tho wystom itself,
but that in vogue one decade ago could not
have been segregated from its evils even
by tho most skillful political surgery. The
cry of the Democrats against the national
banks is as senseless as the rest of their
slogans.
SPAIN.
From the Albany Journal.
The revolutionary mnttcrings in Spain be
come both deep and loud. Goneml Tierra I
has been sent in chains to Tarragona. His
crime was that the people esteemed him so
well, and valued so highly his services in tiieir
cause, as to give him a graud publio ovation,
during which cries were uttered not iu tho
least degree complimentary to the Govern
ment. Castelar has been having another in
terview with his friends, the Republicans. A
cable despatch declares that the extraordinary
number of twenty thousand persons assembled
to meet him. The fiery and uncompromising
tribune of the people made an address full of
eloquent bitterness a forensic prophecy like
that in which Camille Desmoulins fore
shadowed the uprising of Paris, and the
bloody dynasty of the Place de la Greve. He
told his excited hearers that the undoubted
purpose of the Directory and the Cortes is to
inflict upon Spain a monarchy. And then, in
words of burning zeal, ho counseled them to
prepare for the worst; to choose death rather
than submission to tyranny. This is some
thing more than bold opposition if the pro
sent Government of Spain means anything, it
is downright treason. We shall see what the
Directory dare to do with thi3 orator of sedi
tion, who is vastly more to be feared than a
corps of Carlists under arms. It is given out
that Serrano has ordered an oath of allegiance
to the new constitution to be administered to
all the Catholic bishops, and that those who
refuse compliance will be punished for sedi
tion. Many adherents of the Romish Church
conscientiously refuse to subscribe the new
order, because they believe that in doing so
they would encourage heresy and promote
error. They may be mistaken; but is not
their honestly-entertained opinion entitled to
respect, so long as they do not actively inter
fere in public affairs? And in view of Ser
rano's threatened policy, what becomes of the
promise so ostentatiously made, that the new
government Would tolerate absolute freedom
of religious opinion ? Every day the elements
of complication multiply about the heads of
the Madrid conspirators. The people seoni
awakening to a conviction that thus far they
have only exchanged one form of tyranny for
another, more complex and astute. And with
the people are ranged all the factions that
desire monarchy to assume some other form
than that intended by the Directory. The
volcanic elements are in motion. Can an
eruption be long postponed ?
