THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPII-PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY,. OCTOBER 18G9. T or inn rnnss. ill Opinion i ..r. --- W i-nrruni tin. w....-..-- Day for the Evoalnc TelCKriipn. GIt.VNT AND TIIH IHL,D rrn the X. Y. World. lit. JamcH FiHk, Jr.. has puMwhotl nn ex traordinary sorioH of.tomontfi, which wo transform! to our columns tho other day. We BBMime them lo be true beeaiwo, first, they are not in conflict with any of tho known facU of tho transaction to which they refer; Second, they are quite consistent with what We know of the characters of the poesons of whom they treat; and, third, they ro corro borated ly tho btalenieut ott'iciully promul gated ly l'rchiduut Grant, so fur as tbut Uto luent noes. If they arc true, and if Mr. Corbin wai, as lie has pnbliely denied being, the real organ izer of the recent corner in gold and in tho intimate confidence of tho persons who admit themselves to havo beon concerned in that movement, what follows ? Mr. Corbin is not known in 'Wull fstreot ro well, nor has ho pnv such linancial reputation, as would lend list nte operators to give full confidence to his financial ideas, or to defer their own practised judgments, in their own spe cialty, to iiis crude theories. Neither is lie a capitalist, so far as we know, of such pith and moment thnt his money was needed J.y men who had control of any number tii millions without him. What was it, then, that induced Messrs. Fisk nnd Gould and tho rest to follow the lead of a man in whoso judgment it does not appear that they had any particular reason for eontidiug, and of tvhose money it does not appear that they ptood in need. Simply this: Mr. Corbin is tho brother-in-law of the President of tho I nited States. As such he was supposed to poscess tho confidence of that oilicer and to Lave knowledge of his intentions. The sole value of Mr. Corbin to tho bulls lay in their belief, first, that ho knew the Executive mind; liext, that ho was willing to sell that know ledge for a share in the profits of a commer cial speculation; and, third, that the President was willing to have lam. This last is the shameful part of the story. Tho facts which have come out about Mr. CJorbin'a letter to President Grunt, which Messrs. Fink and Gould were so anxious to Lave that officer receive that they sent it to Liiu by a special emissary, bring afresh upon Mr. Grant anew tho dark suspicion, which tho 'tniil at first expressed its utter disbelief in, tt ins complicity in me aesigus 01 me goiu gamblers. It behooves him to explain what that letter was, and what his answer to it. Hut, in any case, what a scandal and shame it is that the contrivers of the corner should Lave, as it is undeniable that they did have, grounds for believing that he might bo in duced to joiu their ring! Since tho beginning of President Grant's administration he has been bestowing the patronage of hia office with an utter disre gard of any considerations of fitness, or of anything else except that the appointees were either his relations or his benefactors. It is not proved that he has ever refused any thing to one who had given him anything, or who could establish tho remotest rela tionship to him, except in one instance. That was the case wherein he was applied to by Mr. Fisk, Jr., for a little official and private information in return, it would seem, for a free ride on a Sound steamer. Put nnon anybody else, this would have been a gross insult. Cut, really, is Mr. Fisk to bo considered culpable for not knowing exactly the point at which the Spar tan virtue of Grant began? As a brown htono front is to a seat in the Cabinet, so Mr. Fisk. Jr.. might not unreasonably havo worked out hia problem in proportion is a free ride on a steamboat to a little bit of in formation, to impart which not impoverished Grant and made Fisk, Jr., rich indeed. But the gratitude of Grant in this instance alono failed to overcome his sense of what is "fair." lie did not suggost, so far as appears, that the price was too small, though it may fairly bo snpposed that he thought so. lie only tried to convince Mr. Fisk, Jr., and suc ceeded in convincing him, that what ho proposed was "not quite fair." lie did not treat the proposition as an insult. It would have been absurd if ho had. It is no more a dereliction of duty to give a man information which you have no right to im part in return for favors than it is, in return for favors, to put a, man in a place which ho is unfit to fill. General Grant could not ro sent such propositions, and he did not resent this one, because his whole official course has laid him open to such propositions. "When a President accepts promiscuous pecuniary favors he must know, unless he is a fool, that tho giver expects reciprocation. A New York newspaper forbids its reporters to accept free rides on tho railways or to eat gratuitous Viands at hotels, becauso it knows that a re turn may be expected from carriers and from publicans. General Grant takes such things although he must know that such returns may be expected. Tho difference is that a different Reuse of dignity and decency obtains in the conduct of New York newspapers aud in tho Conduct of General Grant. When Mr. Grant's gratitude thus unex pectedly and uupreeedentedly failed, what was left but to assail his other weakness his lovo of his kin? ly engaging tho co-operation of Mr. Corbin, tho "ring'1 seem to havo thought that they could work upon it. 13y promising profit to Mr. Corbin, they appealed to both tho consanguineous aud the pecuniary affections of Mr. Grant. It is due to Mr. Grant's character to say that in this instunco both appeals failed. Hut it is duo to tho judgment of tho managers of the combination lo say that neither ever failed before. Grant's fate has indeed been melancholy and monitory. He has been scarcely six months in office. Yet during thut tiuio ho Las managed to fill tho public service with a Lorde of flagrant incompetents and to insti tute the vastest aud most scandalous system of nepotism that was ever known except in a decayed dynasty. And he has returned more favors for what he must havo known were meant for bribes than nil our previous Presi dents put together. He has made his name a byword by deserting his duty and roaming about the country taking his pleasures pub- ' licly and continually, lie has let himself out as a cheap and profitable advertisement to every hotel keeper who chose to keep him. 1 fa baa incurred tho untounuea but reasona ble suspicion of being in complicity with a pet of men whose business is to gamble with tho public crodit which his business is to nnhold. And he lias now sunk to furnish the matter of a small sonsat ion to a moribund .tuppenny newspaper. THE IIOKNET AS A TIHATE. Trom the X. Y. Times. Our readers are well aware that, though - much is said currently about "international law. there is no such distinct coilo. wnut there is consists of precedents in the courts Of various countries, where tko statement of the caRes are based, or attempted to be basod. I on broad principles of justice and common I sense, in view of tho gradual formation of tins body of law, tho case of the Cuban pri vateer Hornet will become of deep interest. The facts of the case ore not vet clear, but so far bs they are known it would appear boyond question that the vessel was manned and pro visioned in the ports of this country, where Hlie was once arrested on suspicion and re leased; that she also touched at Halifax, whore Hhe was detained and Ream released; and that she received her armament subsequently from. n vessel oil mo coast. Mio finally, whether trom want of coal or to present a test case, put in at V.'ilmington, flying openly tho Cuban Hag, where the I nited States Commissioner has summari iiriesicu uur, on uumuvii, as vioiauug iuo Neutrality acts of lsis, nnd on tho ground that she was armed and equipped within the limits of the I'niled States, with tho intent to commit hostilities against a friendly power, and also upon tho high seas as a pirate. The coro for the United Stales was opened on Tuesday, tho ."th, and was adjourned till yesterday in order to cnablo tho Government to present its witnesses. The counsel for the privateer, Hon. George Davis, is represented as "boiling over with Cuban enthusiasm and ii... i. :.. - i. ..l.i.. ii 1 : tjiquuuy, vtmcu l.i juoujioijr niu uiimuui ion of his opening speech lor tho ueteiidants be ing somewhat wild and sensational. AVhcn this "Cuban heat" has somewhat cooled down, we shall probably learn from the learned advocate better what tho lewd points of his case are to be. It need not bo said that it is a oau-looKing case lor tho pri vateer. It is true that the worst accusation, that of piracy, in tho Commissioner's warrant, is one alwoys somewhat difficult to prove. According to the former idea of piracy, in international law, it was sufficient to consti tute piracy, jure gentium, that the offense, say of robbery or destruction of properly should bo committed on tho hitrb seas, aud that the offenders should bo "free from law ful authority," or, in the old French terms. should havo "( u ni lie," neither fireside nor homo. It was also claimed that tho act should be Incri causa, for the sake of train. and KhiMo f'traiill, or with malicious intent. But tho modern fact of plunder and do struct ion committed on the high seas by a rebel who does not vet II y a recognized Ha has somewhat chauged tho old definitions of this crime. The question "1 low far a robe is a pirate t frequently came up during our civil war, both in our own courts and in F.ng lish debates. Groat Britain held then toward our rebels, before the recognition of belliger ency, tho same relation winch wo now hold towards tho Cuban insurgents. In the debate in the House of Lords, on the t'lth of Mav, lsill, on the President's Proclamation, Lord Chelmsford stated what was generally accepted by tho English publicists, that "if the Southern Confederacy had not been recog nized as a belligerent power by tho British Government, if any Englishman were to lit out a privateer for the purpose of assisting the Southern States against the Northern States, he would bi guilty of piracy." The neutral courts would have followed in this our own courts. Ju'.'ge Nelson, in tho ease of the crew of the Savannah, a rebel privateer. held that their olfense, if proved, was that of piracy, but dxmbted it it would be piracy urt gentium, inasmuch as the intent of tho prison ers was to depredate on tho property of one nation only, and not on that of any or all nations. Chief Justice Marshall, in another case tho Klmtock case threw out a similar sug gestion, that a person acting in good faith under a commission, supposed to bo issued by a competent foreign authority, might not be eruiltv of piracy. This, however, is not the received position by publicists, nor the one resting on common sense. It is plain that lor tno saictv oi man kind every one who takes a commission from a foreign power to wage private war must do it at his own peril, and must know that his commission is unlawful. This has been well statod in tho American J (nint. If the acts are such as constitute piracy, it is of no consequence what other Governments have recognized belligerency; our courts are bound to follow our own no- litical department alone, and if this has not recognized belligerency, tho commission of a rebel power cannot be admitted as doleuse Nor can it bo admitted as a plea that a vessel like the Hornet is fitted out with intent to depredate on one power alono. If she com mits, while flying a pirate flag, violence or plunder on the high seas, on the ships of a power sailing "in tho peaco of all nations, tho presumption is that she would do tho same to the vessels of other powers, and she becomes thereby a IiohUh humani generis an enemy of the human race and liable to bo tried as a pirate anywhere. Iho Hornet, it is true, may escape from the charge of piracy, inasmuch as no overt act lias been committed; or because no hostile intent can be proved. The evidence presented yesterday will probably determine this. SEASONS WHY MB. GltEELEY SHOULD BE C0MPTB.OLLEU. From the X. Y. .S'im. There are very many reasons why tho Hon. Horace Greeley should be elected Comp troller, and we will stote some ol them: I. Ho comes fully up to the Jefl'ersonian standard. Ho is "holiest, capable, aud fuith- ful to tho Constitution. II. All the ltepublicans will vote for him, for he has done more to build up tho ltepub- lican party than any other man m the I nion. 111. All tho Democrats ought to volo lor him, for ho believes in the fundamental pro position of the Declaration of Independence, written by the founder of the Democratic party, that all men are created equal, and have an inalienable right to lite, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. IV . All the Abolitionists will vote lor him, for he has been tho consistent opponent of slavery from the advent of Garrison down to tho assassination of Lincoln. V. All tho secessionists should vote for him, for when South Carolina adopted tho ordinance of session in December, lstiii, ho said. Let the South tro in peace! VI. All who are in favor of tho fifteenth amendment will vote for him. for he has advocated manhood suffrage ever since he established the Trilune twenty-eight years VII. All who are opposed to the amend ment ought to vote for him, for he is the strenuoiiH opponent of tho disfranchisement of tho Itobels, and gave an earnest of hia sin cerity by going bail for Jefferson Davis. VIII. All who oppose woman's suffrage will vote for him, for he has set his face and his journal against this threatened innovation upon the established order of things. IX. The women of the llcMulion sbonld support him, becauso ho breakfasted with them, and saw his own portrait adorning tho walls of their Bureau in Twenty-third street, surrounded by a smiling and sparkling bovy of the htrong-miuded of tho sex. X. All the Irish ought to vote for him, for from tho Slievenan famous battle on tho heights of enamon down to the imprisonment ot Costello, Warren, nnd the brilliant George Francis Train, he has advocated the indepen dence of Ireland. XI. All tho temperaneM men will vote for him, because he never drinks anything that can intoxicate, and is in favor of having a prohibitory law upon the statute book. Ml. All the opponents of prohibition o'.V'lit to vote for him, tor he has in substance in formed the Germans that the prohibitory law is to remain a dead Inter, and therefore ho may be regarded as a facsimile of the man down J'.ast, who wus m favor ot the Maine law, but was opposed to its enforcement,. XIII. All the chami'inn of Cuba should vote for him, for no mnn in ibo Union has advocated the independence of the Gem of tho Antilles with morn zoid and ability tlmu the editor of tho Trimir. XIV. All the supporters of Spanish supre macy on tno American continent ought to vote for him, for he is the personal and poli tical friend of the Secretary of Slate, who steadily opposes the recognition of Cuban belligerency, and causes tho arrest and im prisonment of sons of Cuba on our shores who want to go homo nnd strike a blow for the deliverance of their native isle. XV. Finally, everybody ought to vote for ldm because this is the first fair chance Mr. Greeley has ever had for testing his popularity before the people of this State. As tho prospect is that tho regular Demo cratic majority will bo about ."iil.ooo, there fore the only mode for is for all the classes wo give him their voles, securing his success have enumera ted to and thus make his election unanimous. Let it be done! Let us elect Horace Grefclev ! BRIDGET AND CHANG. I'rmn (he .V. 1. Tribune. The kitchen problem is becoming an immi nent peril. A helher Mr. Jones be bull or bear, Bridget's tough beefsteaks lie alike like lead nil day on his stomach and brain. It is lidiug him to death as surely as the relentless Old Man did Sinbad. He grows gaunt, lean, dyspeptic. Mrs. Jones, who for ten squabbling years ot married lite has been cherishing a dream of gray-haired retainers and faithful servitude drawn from English novels, has wakened to tho reality, cries shrilly against tho insolent Irish and stolid Dutch, nnd is ready to tlitfist. them out and acvept co-opera tive housekeeping, a cooking machine, or a Chinaman inditl'erenlly. 1 lor inability to train and control ono maid-servant gives her hopes of h r success in the ones of men if her bauds were once free: she has no hold on Biddv becauso of tho great gulf between them, though their blood ran in tho same channels perhaps a few generations back so she introduces I hnug, as a more accordant element, into tho household, with his little pagan gds hidden in the puutrv, aud his home and children in the Antipodes. There is a fact which Mrs. lones must face sooner or later, bin ore ciiiioit can be re stored to the distractel kitchen realm of America, and that fact is that the fault lies primarily in the mistress, and not. in the maid. Ihe ideal servant ot Luglisli house holds belonged to a family as uncultured, most probably, as Bridget's: she was trained for her work carefully by a housekeeper or upper servant. Mrs. .lones will not accept tho work ot a housekeeper.' I mi.i. Iho alternative is before her. Chang brings to his work a higher civilization than that of the bluck Aunt Bettys and t hloes, the best cooks wo have ever had in tho States: Imt a lr- inia matron knew when her biscuit were iight, nnd took off her diamonds to inspect her pantries. But lor the insolence ot Urnlget there is. we are told, no remedy. Nov Bridget is hu man. She would havo been capai.de oi res pect and servility to tho Hon. Miss St. Logor at home, or to tho "fady at the great house. They had tho advantages of long generations of good birth and culture. Mrs. Jones for gets that in this she is not like them, lmd- get never does. Her American mistress is only raised above her, she fancies, by the ac cident of money. In a few years sho or her children may have like good luck. Yet, wo insist again, Biddy is human. So is Chang. And when women or men stand face to face on the bare ground of humanity, there is a power in knowledge, good breeding, and a kind heart that insures control over every in subordinate element. "Ho who fears to meet the working classes," says Gix'the, "and try his strength with them, stripped of all exter nals of circumstance and position, is a cow ard, because he is interior to them. If Mrs Jones finds tho Irishwoman too much for her, she may draw her own conclusions. IIYACINTTIE. From the A". 1'. Tribune. Pere Hyacinthe's flight to this country seems to indicate his resolve to break finally wilh his mother, as he call:; her, "according to eternity." 'With the theological question at issue between them wo have nothing to do, but we cannot but wonder at the short-sightedness of the said venerable old parent of so many turbulent sous, in parting with ouo so strong for her support. "A firm faith hath the keenest of edges,'-' saith the shrewd Sir Thomas Browne, and that of this man is a weapon which the Roman Church can ill spare. Is it old ngo or alarm that has made her suddenly abjure her ancient tactics? However harmless sho may have been as a dove, nobody ever denied her before tho wisdom of the serpent. Her power for ages lay in hcrjfaculty of absorption: she had a place for every man a glazing cement that held every talent, creed, individuality, in one admirable mosaic. No Protestant sects dif fered more widely in doctrine than tho fol lowers of Loyola and Jiinseu, or woged more bitter, implacable warfare. The Spanish, German, American Catholics of to-day are held together by slight bonds of old forms and traditions, which tho one worships in sheer Paganism, but which are to the other mere outward symbols of vital truths. Tho "eighty damnable heresies" of Pope Pius are to Pere Hyacinlhe the spirit of "the nine teenth century, to which he also has duties and tendernesses." It may be a wise thing in tho Pope to bring all these conflicting ele ments of his Church face to face in the (Ecu menical Council, though wo doubt whether tho result will be edifying or pleasant. But wbv should ho now lose one of tho men whom previous papal policy would surely have retained ? THE FRENCH EMPRESS ON THE CUBAN QUESTION. Frt.m ihe .Y. Tribune. It is well known that the Empress Eugenie has very decided, it' not always very intelli gent. oDiniouH on nil the public issues ot the dav. The idea she entertains, or at least en tertnined some years ago, on ono of the dis turbing questions of the present hour, ia in dicated by an incident which we believe was never published before, though Seuutor Douglas told it to several of his friends ill this city. During tho last visit to Europe of the latq Stephen A. Douglar; of Illinois (in H'V), if wo J remember correctly ) he was introduced, when 1 in Paris, to the French Court, after the usual I forms. Presently tho Empress Eugenio fell i into conversation with him, and the fir-it re- I murk she made.) after the salutation, was: ! "Senator Doiiglnss. I understand that von are infnvor of the sJo of Culm by Spain to i the United States." The Senator attempts 1 l to avoid u direct answer by making a pleasant i nnd complimentary remark, to the ell'eet thnt as France had been fortunate enough to so- j cure n Spanish lady for the throne in the j person of Her Majesty ('alluding to Eugenie's Spanish birth), so the young American Re- ! public was anxious to win a'prize from Spain ! by securing nn alliance with the (v)iioe:i of the : Antilles. To this liv. ly sally tho Empress made no reply, but instant' v remarked, in tho J most earnest and emphatic' way: "If I h i 1 j the j tower, I would sacrifice every cent (son) i of the Spanish revenue, and every soldier in ' tie i-piinish nrmy, before Cuba should surrendered by Spain." bo ( GREELEY'S ACCEPTANCE. Fre-m the X. V. Herald. The Republican New York State tic as nt last made up, is headed by General Fraiu S.gel for Secretary of State, aud next in order by Horace Greeley for Comptroller. With the self-sacrificing spirit of Curliirs leaping into tho gulf, Greeley accepts. He is not hope ful of the election, but he will do what he can for tho cause. Tho Stato Committee brought him forward to strengthen the ticket; but his letter is rather calculated to depress than to encourage them. He doos not move, like Grant, upon the enemy's works, but hesi tates and pleads his necessity for more troops, like McCIellan. But for all this, if he will only pluck up a little courage, we think his name will be an advantage to the Republican ticket. Unqucst ionably the name of Sigel will strength en it among the Germans. Apparently thofate squabbling Fcnton nnd Morgan cliques, and t ho Twenty-second street regularsand Twenty third street outsiders of this city, have become reconciled on tho basis of an experimental armistice: but they do not yet pull together very harmoniously. In short, unless Penn sylvania nnd Ohio tire held' unbroken by the Republicans, the party will hardly hold their oivn in New York, liot withstanding the generous advance to the front of Sigel find Greeley.
