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."

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.
