TliO expression that "westward tho couth Of empire takes Us way" is true iu a commer cial as well as in a politicnl Bonne. Indeed, ia modorn times political ower and national greatness generally go with commercial in fluence and wealth. It was commerce or trade that made Tyre and Carthaga groat in ancient times; this that made Venice and the Italian republics rich and powerful at late period; this that gave Spam her power in the time of her greatnoss; this that made Holland a small State in Europe one of the mighti est countries on the globe; this that gave England her wonderful wealth, great power, aud an empire larger than any that ever listed in the word, and thin which Las con tributed largely to the surprising growth and grandour of the American republic If we look back to history we shall see that commerce and empire hare followed the courno of the sun from east to west. From Asia, bordering the Mediterranean and the roast of Africa, they passed over to Europe on tho woHtward sido of that sea, and from thence to the western maritime States of the European continent. Finally, the course of empire has taken its way across the Atlantic. The American republic is marching with rapid strides to a point of greatuoas that will eclipse all preceding or existing nations. Had it not been for tho war we should bo now the first maritime nation on tho globo. We had, jnst before that event, more tonnage than Great Britain, and far more than any other country. Though we havo been compelled to take the second place, it cannot be long before we must take the first. Tho decline of American tonnage and bhipping interests, resulting primarily from the war, must and will be arrested by Suitable legislation, by the complete restora tion of the republio and our national finances, mnd by the rapid material progress of tho country. Tho necessity of doing something to this end immediately is seen both by Con gress and the people. The Congressional committee who have been sitting in this city for the past week for the purpose of investi gating the oause of the decline of American shipbuilding and shipping interests, and to provide a remedy, as well as the mass of valu able information elicited, show that the pub lic mind is alive to this subject, and that we Me approaching the turning point. Gloomy as tho state of things regarding our mercan tile marine has been the last few years, it is impossible that this great, rich, and progres sive country can long occupy the second posi tion as a maritime nation. Before the year 1!00 yes, in twenty-five years our present population of forty mil lions will be incrousud probably to a hundred millions. And what is not such an ambitious, industrious, inventive and energetic popula tion capable of accomplishing? Then look at our vast coast, over ten thousand miles in extent, on the Atlantic, Taciflo and Gulf of Mexico, with its numberless harbors; at the inexhaustible forests of the finest timber and illimitable deposits of the best iron and coal; at the wonderful variety of products that enter into commerce, and at the aptitude of the American people for trade, enterprise and maritime pursuits. Is it possible for such a people and oountry to occupy long a second rate maritime position? The British and the people of somo other nations are looking to the Suez Canal as des tined to change the currents of trade, and no doubt that will produce a great effect, as far as the trade of Europe with India and the East generally goes. To some extent, and in a certain sense, this great work of modern times may turn the course of trade from the West to the East, and may establish an em pire again on the eastern shore of the Mediter ranean. But even then the ultimate destina tion and concentration of the trade between Asia and .Europe will be westward still. France, Italy, Austria, and other countries on the European Continent will get a share and receive great benefit, but a large portion will go to England. All this, however, will not interfere with the increasing tendency of commerce farther west.still, aoross the Atlan tic, nor retard the progress towards commer cial supremacy and: an overshadowing repub lican empire in America. Though the course of trade has been throughout history from east to west, it reaches its most western limit in tho United States. It may tend more and more from the Atlantic side to the Pacific, as the interior of the continent fills rip with population, as the vast West becomes developed, and as the Faciflc States increase their commerce with China and other countries of Asia and with Australia, but it will stop here. The empire of commerce cannot pass over the great ocean tnd fall into the hands of an inferior race. China, India, Japan, and Australia will ad Tance, undoubtedly, but their progress will only tend to increase the commercial po rer ana importance of the United States in a greater ratio. Mexico and the Central and fcjoutli American Strifes will all be tribu taries to our future commercial great ness. The race for this empire now is between England and the United States. While the former has some advantages at present in her larger tonnage, facilities for shipbuilding and accumulated capital, she sees her manufactures, upon which her uost com merce is based, passing into other hands. The cry of alarm has giartf already, not only About this, but from some of her statesmen with regard to tho limit of her coal fields also. The thinking men of England begin to look With alarm upon the future. They see that the empire of commerce, wealth, and great ness will be here on the American Continent. This is inevitable destiny. The growth and resources of the country will bring that about, however weak and short-sighted our publio men mar be. While Congress indulges in its twaddle and miserable party politics, and while commercial conventions occupy them selves with high Down platitudes and imprac ticable resolutions, tho republio is marching on tnrougn natural causes to a point of com mercial greatness and empire that no nation Las attained, and which none hereafter will approach.

The bureau affairs, we were I given to understand, wero to be administered I upon proper, goneral business principles, en-j tirely outside of and .uninfluenced by mere Eolitics. In briof, tho right porson was to ave control of the office, and it was to be conducted for the benefit of ttaa whole country without discrimination. How these professions Lave been carried out we have all teen. Mr. Delano, as compared with Mr. Rollins, Iibs more energy, perhaps, and is more of a disciplinarian than the fatter, but ia as little of a lawyer and unquestionably more of a thoroughbred politician. He brought to the oftice his Congressional experience, which was of incalculable advantage to him, viewed from the standing-point of personal advancement. It was simply a faroe to appoint such a man to office and proclaim his intendod conduct of its affairs above tho reach and influence of politics, and we said so at the time. We oonfess, however, that his initiative measures induced us to look for a really bettor state of things than has followed. One favorable sign was his taking our advice, and breaking up the iniquitous clique that had ruled the office so shamefully tinder his predecessor, and which we took the pains to expose to him in these columns. Another was his removal of certain notoriously corrupt officers from the service in important collection districts whom Mr. Bollins either would not or could not displace. But here the Bteps towards im provement ended. The same general princi ples determining Mr. Rollins' transaction of the office business seem to have been adopted throughout by Mr. Dolano; and, as a natural consequence, we have had the same narrow minded, illegal, blundering decisions; the same unjust treatment of claimants and potty resort to avoid refund of taxes unlawfully taken from the taxpayers. The records of the bureau may not perhaps show quite as many unsound rulings as occurred within a liko period of Mr. Rollins' reign, but they will show enough of such to stamp Mr. De lano as unfit to be tho chief of the revenue office. It has been triumphantly assorted by Rad ical papers and politicians that more revenue has been derived from whisky and tobacco under Mr. Delano's rule than under Mr. Rol lins'. Mr. Delano himself has had the bad taste to tell us this on the stump. It must be remembered, however, that v. bile this is true the credit for it does not belong to Mr. Delano. The tax on whisky was reduced to a figure that lessened the temptation to fraud, and the legislative requirements governing both that article and tobacco were of such a character as to bring more of the actual pro duction to tax than had hitherto been reached. All this just as Mr. Delano took his seat. There would have been tho same increase of revenue under any one else; it came of itself in the natural order of things, and not from any of Mr. Delano's doings. So far from the bureau being conducted without regard to politics, it has been con ducted with special reference to and for the promotion of them; the head of it having always carefully kept in view the 'advancement of radical interests in general, without ne glecting his own chances for preferment in particular. His zeal for the publio good has not prevented him from looking towards the Senate chamber and aspiring to a seat therein. He certainly holds peculiar ideas of right and propriety. Something of those may be recognized in his leaving his office to openly take tho stump, for which he is mnoh better fitted by nature than for the post he holds. He does not find it inconsistent with his ideas of public duty and official dignity to abandon that post, as though the people had no claim whatever upon Lis services and presence there, and assume a most unseemly personal part in the political struggles of the hour, in opposition to those who contribute equally with others to the too large salary he draws with unfailing regu larity from the general treasury; but he does find it inconsistent with them to make a de cision conforming with existing law when his personal prejudices or interests run coun ter to it, or to allow a claim which is plainly as valid as law can make it if he has a pur pose to gain in rejecting it. While he has been off electioneering, the business of his office, involving millions of dollars, has been stopped, to the injury of the immense inte rests involved; business, too, which should havo been settled months ago, and would have been hud he conscientiously performed his duties. And this he calls "honest ad ministration" in his publio harangues. We have at this moment proofs in our possession which will show that his administration has been anything but honest, and we purpose laying them before the publio at an early day. The entire doings of the office are as corrupt and unlawful now as they have ever been,' and they need the constant attention which we shall take it upon ourselves to give them. A bureau wbioh controls the collection of one hundred and fifty millions a year and dispenses the patronage of so vast a system is of too much importance to every national interest for either the people or the press to keep silence about. INFLUENCE OF TENNESSEE LEGISLA TION UPON NATIONAL POLITICS. FVom the X. T. Time. In his message to tke Tennessee Legisla ture, Governor Senter remarks upon the pos sible influence of its action upon the policy of tho General Government: "Much may depend upon tho action of Tennessee, as to the time ami conditions fur ttw restoration of other Houthern States uad their people to their former respective relations with the General (.ov erniue.it, which, Ideutllled with her in past sutler inns, yet have not been eqnally fortunate In regain ing their advantages as States in the I nion B'ain. Tnere are many worthy men of Tennessee who labor under the disabilities imposed by Congressi and which consequently oar Htute powers are Inadequate to reach. Joined to all this, the Statu itsulf lu lis exhmiHted condition has become most aertoiiHlv complicated with the General Government In lis railroad and other Important material Inte rests. The adoption of tho amendment bv a Legis lature more thoroughly representative of her whole people than any fortune has atlordod since the war, wonld at once tend to Inspire conOdence with the Northern people, create a friendly Interest lu Con gress, and perhaps win the strong helping hand of the General Government in our many wants. Pro foundly impressed with these considerations, and by the emphatic declaration of the people of Tenuesseo at their last election for making equalitv fceforo the law and in political privileges, 1 would be recreant to my own concerns and to my convictions of the publio interest, did I fail to uiost earnestly yet re spectfully recommend the proposed amendment for ratiflcation by your honorable body." We cannot suppose that any perversity which may be displayed at Nashville will in fluence the proceedings of Congress with re gard to the three States which yet await re admission. Whether Virginia, Mississippi and Texas be deolored reconstructed, and en titled to Federal representation and the local rights which reconstruction confers, is a ques tion which must, in all fairness, he decided on its merits. Tho readniission of Virginia does not depend upon the realization of satis factory results in the other excluded States, or either of them. Eueh will be judged with reference to the requirements of the Recon struction acts and the charaotor and qualifica tions of the Senators and Representatives who may seek admission in its name. No man in hia right wind can propose any otlior test. And certainly the nation sense of justice would revolt against a proposal to apply an extra turn of tho screw to Virginia because the Democrats of the Tennessee Legislature happen to elect Andrew Johnson Senator or reject the fifteenth amendment. To this ex tent wo doem Governor Sentor's apprehen sions groundless. And yet it is unquestionably true, as he suggests, that the spirit and purposes revealed by the majority at Nashvillo will in some de gree influence the decision of Con gross when a proposal to abrogate, disabilities comes up for consideration, aud will also inllnenoe the feeling of the Republican party upon other questions more directly affecting tho pros perity of the South. The result of the late election was due to the generous course pur sued by Governor Senter and the resistance of the uioro moderato Republicans to tho pre scriptive policy of Stokes and his friends. While the canvass lasted, no mention was made of measures which the Democratic) mem bers of tho Legislature now propose to euact. There was no talk, then, of a crusade against the common school system or the political privileges of the f reedmon. On the contrary, tho Democrats who suppovtod Senter pro fessed to bo as willing as tho radicals who supported Stokes to accept the new order of things negro suffrage inoludod as an ac complished fact. The main issue of the election was, continued proscription or tho spoediest possible removal of all disabilities; and those of us at the North who sympathized with the liboral and generous views of tho Senter party saw, or thought we saw, in their success an assurance of harmony and pros perity in the State. If, then, the aggressive spirit manifested by the majority in tho Legislature be pef? sisted in, tho reasoning which led Governor Senter, Mr. Iirownlow, and tho enfranchising Republicans of Tennessee to take an ad vanced position will need to be reconsidered. Disfranchisement is bad, but its burdens, if they are to bo borne at all, better fit tho shoulders of those who fought against tha Union than those who battled in its defense. And though there may be no immediate remedy for the wrongs which seem to be impending in Tennessee, we may bo quite sure that they will indirectly influence Re publican opinion in other States, and at Washington, in connection with the disabi lities over which Congress retains control. The abstract argument in favor of universal amnesty will continue sound. But the ex pediency of its enactments will be onen to some doubt if tho experience of Teunesseo prove that those who suffer from disabili ties wait but for the opportunity to abuse any power they may acquire. The opposi tion offered to the fifteenth amendment tends to indicate the necessity for its ratifl cation. And the prescriptive temper of the party which has most to eaiu from the removal of disabilities is the strongest reason against precipitate action upon that subject. DECLINE OF AMEKICAN COMMERCE. From the A". V. Sun. A Congressional committee, appointed to inquire into the causes of the present state of decline of American commerce, has just con cluded its sessions in this city, aud has now gone to Boston to continue its labors there. It has been waited upon by some of our most eminent ship-builders and ship-owners, and thoir testimony has been taken at length. They all ngroe that tho amount of tonnage of American vessols engaged in foreign com merce has fallen off greatly since the begin ning of the late war; but when it comes to assigning reasons for this state of things, aud suggesting a remedy for it, they are anything but unanimous. The skip-builders say that at present it costs too much to build ships here, but that if the duties and internal reve nue taxes on the materials employed could be either taken off directly, or a drawback al lowed to counterbalance them, they could build ships better and cheaper than their Eu ropean rivals, and thus restore the former preponderance of America on the ocean. The ship-owners, on the other hand, say that the dearness of American ships is the result of the higher wages paid to Ameriean mecha nics, and their remedy would be to repeal the laws which at present discriminate against foreign-built ships, and allow such ships, when owned by American citizens, to be put on the same footing with ships built here. One party, in a word, wants free trade in tho materials for ships, while the other wants free trade in ships themselves. Between these two rival interests tho patriotio American will havo little difficulty in choosing on which to bestow his sym pathies. If it be possible, by reducing duties and taxes, to enable American shipbuilders to successfully compete with those of Europe, he would, beyond all question, prefer to adopt that policy rather than to let foreign built ships come in and deprive American mechanics of employment. However plausible may bo the theories of freo traders, they can not conceal tho fact that tho destruction of the shipbuilding business on this side of the Atlantic, as far as it has gono, is a national calamity; and if it were to go still further, so that our coasting vessels and even our ferry boats should be built abroad, it would greatly cripple our national strength. If anything is to be done, let us givo up all attempt to col lect revenue from the wood, metal, and rig ging of ships, and see if that will not restore life to our now idle shipyards. But while we are about the work of taking off the burdens which interfere with the pros perity of Americun skipping, we ought not to forget one very important ono, which nobody examined by the Congressional Committee seems to have thought of suggesting. This is the local taxation of our great seaport cities. It will be of little use to reduce the first cost of an American-owned vessel, while, so long as she is engaged in the carrying trade, she has to pay, as vessels belonging to citizens of Boston, New York, and Philadelphia now have to pay, a tax of from two and one-quarter to four per oent. on her value every year to the State and city Governments. A New York merchant builds or buys a steamer to run between this port and Liver pool. She costs, say, !fc25rt,(MM). On this amount the State and city of New York require him to pay from !fr"iO(K to S0(M) a year in the shape of personal taxes. A Liver pool merchant puts a steamer of tho same value on the some route, and ho pays no local tax at all. The New York merchant, there fore is constantly hampered by a discrimina tion against hini of ijs.ioou to JjjoiOOO a year. Is it any wonder thut tho vessels wbioh come into this port are all owned in England? Even Americans who wish to invest their capital in ships prefer to do it by buying shares in British navigation companies. The Cunard line owns, say, 110,000,000 worth of steamers, on which they pay no tax beyond that on tha income earned by them ! If they were a New Yrk corporation they would pay L'00,oiK) a year at least of State and city taxes! It appears, then, that it is not to Congress alone that wo are to look for relief from the present depression of American commerce. Tho individual States and cities must also do (heir part, and lv czAmntinor uliinn rYm.i .1 taxation, enable American ship-owners to Mart on equai terms wnu moso ot l.roat Itritam. If they could also have the wisdom to give tho snme privilege to capital invested in all branches of commerce, they would do an im mense deal more toward establishing on afi' m bsis (ho commercial prosperity of the country; but that is perhaps too much to ask for yot. A WORD TO PENNSYLVANIA. Vrm the X. r. Tribune. 'In three-fourth of tho counties of Pennsyl vania, the Republican vote fell off, and our majority was less than at the State election of liS; in Luzerne, Schuylkill, Wayne, and most of the anthracite counties, the result was different. The men who dig coal havo had trouble the post season they have folt the heavy hand of power they havo boon constrained to mako a stand for what thoy doomed their rights aud they (not all, but a goodly share of them) have been led to dis criminate sharply between their friends and their foes. They know little of Governor Geary, who lives far away, but they know Asa Packer know how ho made his twenty millions and they could not feel that ho was their man. Henco the result. ThoRe miners are going to Harrisburg this winter to ask for the enactment or modifica tion of laws so as to give them a chance to live. Thoy object to being forced into caverns where they havo no choice but to lie down and bo roasted alive they mean to see whether capital is everything, labor nothing, in the estimation of their lawmakers; they mean to ask for such legislation as will enabla them to live in comfort and rear thoir chil dren to be virtuous, intelligent, usoful citi zens. Terhaps they will ask more than is just: if so, we trust it will bo refused. Wo believe in ' government of the people, by the people, for the people," and not in the domination of any class, however numerous or capable. An oli garcy of miners or of hod-carriers would be just as selfish, just as oppressive, as an oli garchy of bankers or of lawyers. We would concede everything to justioo, nothing to threats or to numbers, whatever tho cost. But knowing what Pennsylvania legislation has been, we volunteer the warning that it won't do for the legislators soon to assemble at Harrisburg to earn the money of the great mining and transportation companies as their predecessors have done. Were they to do so, they would not merely make shipwreck of the Republican ascendancy iu their own Stato; they would render themselves infamous from Maine to Oregon. The urgency of the case renders plain speaking imperative. The miners must have justice, and they will not pay a cent for it. They must be treated as well as if they had millions, and were ready to pour them out like water. In short, the usages aud tradi tions of Pennsylvania legislation must, at least for this occasion, bo wholly overborne. And, on behalf of the Republicans of the Union, who cannot afford itnd will not con sent to see the Keystono of our ai'ch knocked out, we suggest to General Simon Cameron that wo look to him to see that this is done. He knows by experience what labor is; ho has the reputation of being its friend and cham pion. It will be a grave misfortune to him, and to all of us, if money, corruptly dis bursed, should defeat the righteous demands of the coal miners in the Pennsylvania legis lation 1870.
