THE DAILY 'EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNE3D AY,' OCTOBER 27, ' 18G9.? oriRXT or tzzh rzvuaa. Editorial Oplnlone of the I.nndlnff JoarnnM Upon Current Toplra-Conmllod Ktrnry nT for the livening TclcKrriP-i. the PRESIDENTS OPINION OF MR. Prom the A". 1'. llerahl. We have tbe information from a npecinl source at WRshirgton thut, on having his attention called in a r...Tit convei'HRtion to the bold attempt of Fisk, Jr., on ono of the goiind steaniors lust Hummi'V, to obtain from the President advance information of the financial policy of tho Government, General Grant's reply was substantially this: "I don't know but 1 should have been insulted had it come from any other but a person like Fisk; but, coming from a man so destitute of moral character, I didn't think it worth noticing.". Now, taking this as tho expressed opinion of General Grunt, we are somewhat startled by it. because we know that he is careful in what ho pays touching tho charactor of any man or Any question; because we know that he has a remarkable perception of tho peculiar quali ties of wen in distinguishing one man from another, and because we had supposed, as tho world goes, that Mr. Fink's moral character was all right everrwitk the churchmen among the bulls and bears and lame ducks on 'Change. Nor do we calculate that General Grant refers to Mr. Fisk's opera boufc arrangements, or anything of that sort; but that in the opinion given of the Erie financier the President simply means that as a speculator of the New England Puritan school of Barnum, Fisk, according to the rigid old fashioned Illinois standard of integrity, is "destitute of moral charaoter" destitute in boing, at all hazards, "on the make," and in acting upon the idea that the end justifies the means, and upon the doctrine that the morality of Yankee shrewd ness is to bo measured by its success in money making. But if Mr. Fisk is to be condomned upon these grounds, who among the gold gamblers and stock jobbers of Wall street will be able to stand ' Shall he be made the scapegoat for the whole tribe ? That is the question ? THE TRUE TEST. Ft am the K. Y. Times. Increased efficiency in the collection of revenue, and rigorous economy in expendi tures, were prominent features of the plat torni on which General Grant was elected, The Republican party pledged itself to pro mote these objects, and General Grant was chosen to accomplish them. How he has performed his duty ? How has the party re deemed its promise i The work of the first six months of the administration are known. They are not, indeed, the period by which the measures of any administration should bo judged. At the outset of its career, there are obstacles to be overcome arising from the action or non action 01 its predecessor; there is an experi ence to be gained, and a start to be made under all the disadvantages which attend the inauguration of a new departmental regime. Notwitstanding these drawbacks, however, General Grant and the statesmen he has , gathered about him have eff ected much. By imparting greater vigilance and fidelity to the collection oi revenue, ana by zealously sus taining the plan of Congress in the matter of retrenchment, they have in a single half year secured for the country a gain of fifty-six millions ot dollars. The aggregate increase of revenue falls little short of twenty millions, con siderably more than four-fifths of which Lave been derived from internal sources precisely those sources which, under Mr. Johnsons rule, were most neglected. On the other hand, the decrease in expenditures army, navy, and civil ser vice approaoh very nearly thirty-seven mil iions the exact gain being If .jI.,4(j1,1.7, as compared with the transactions of Mr. John son's administration during the correspond ing half of lSiiS. And the good work goes on with an almost absolute certainty that the proportion of gain will hereafter be yet larger. The ad ministration is doing its duty, and the coun try will reap the proht. CHANGE OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT IN ENGLAND. From the K. Y. Herald. By the Atlantio cable we have a condensed synopsis of the editorial remarks published by the leading journals of London in comment on the life and pnblio services of the late Earl of Derby. The writers accord Lini all good qualities as a private gentleman and refined arid polished scholar; but they step aside to condemn or repudiate his "im pulsiveness" in politics, as well as to pro claim that he lacked a "statesmanlike tem perament" completely. - Even his chivalrous British conservatism is contrasted, and in an unfavorable light for his memory, side by side with the radical democracy of Italy, and held forth as having been far inferior in Us patriotic expression to that which now ani mates the promoters of the Irish Church Dis establishment bill and such like advanced measures, it is alleged every day that "re publics are ungrateful," but what will be said of the publio men of Britain who write up tho monarchy to-day in that countrv ? We suspect, however, that there is a good deal of political party tactic manftmvre in all this, and that it is used by the old school Tories of England with the view of running the present Earl of Derby, with his workingmen and . trades unionists friends, off tho track in the contest for the leading prize in the new field of Lnglisu politics. AYER. From the X. Y. World. "Doctor" Ayer is a medicine man of re- nown, who resides in the Soventh Congres sional district of Massachusetts. He hus re cently been moved by a laudable ambition to represent that bean-eating constituency in Congress, ihe nominating convention re cently met at Concord, and with much dis cord tlung the doctor overboard. They ap pointed as their standard-bearer Ueoree M. Brooks, who thus becomes one of the running brooks in which, according to tno dramatist, books are sometimes discerned as sermons are in stones and milk iu cocoauuts. Why the convention should have rejected tho doc tor does not appear. Whatever the abilities or the celerity of the latter, they can scarcely outweigh the claims of the man who has un locked the bowels of mankind, from the Arctio circle to Patagonia. He has purgnd a hundrod peoples. Is it strange that he should now desire to "purge the general weau lie has exasperated tho iliac ducts Of kings, tho uaucreat in worinna nf nhnimal. lore, the biliary receptacles of statesmen, aad i ueiiuuiiy is not surprising that, havim; ex- iiausied the possibilities of the pharmaco peia, he should now desire to dispense moral and political purgatives on a wider scale. But fate and the convention sny no. Tho doctor is rendered lck to his disponsatory. He resumes the peHtle and tho mute mortar Again resounds, and rhubarb and aloe and gamboge, in concourse more or less fortui tous, assemble in pills or float iu fluids till commerce dispenses them throughout tho habitations of men. This employment is not so exciting nor quite so ornnmental a that of making hpeeches in Congress and sitting wearily on committees, but it is far more useful to the human race. Did the doctor's ambition cloud his perception of the consa quinces, of thus laying aside the npron of tho apothecary for the toga of the legislator? Did he adequately comprehend the constipation Vihich would ensue; tho epigastric qualms, the mesenteric agues, the lumbar pangs, tho colics, which would set mankind howling, throughout tho globe? Probably not. He must have deemed the thirty years wherein he had enforced the brisk purgation of the peoples n regulatory discipline which would last them over ono session of Congress at least. It is proper, however, to assure him that oven so brief an absence from his usual function might have been atteuded with con sequences of a costive character; which ho would deplore, and for which his services to the State, however eminent, would be an in adequate recompense. It is duo, however, to the truth of history to Btate that the nominating convention did not reject the doctor because it was unwilling to withdraw him from his professional pur suits. The constituency demurred. They were willing to take the doctor s puis and wear his plasters and peruse his cogent and unanswerable almanac. But they didn't want him to cobble their laws. A pamphlet has been sent to us which reviews, with tempo ranee of phrase but sevovity of implication, the doctor s character, and estimates the validity of his pretensions. From it we gather that he is not a gun of great dimen sions. Ho would not go off in Congress with a very loud report. The reviewer says that his faults are "the petty meannesses of a petty nature," and that they "create only derision and disgust." Although ho is enormously rich, he has done nothing with his money more public spirited or benevolent than to invest it in the best securities he could find. He has endowed no school, no hospital, no charity of any kind; no scholarship in college or aoademy, no benefaction to church or library, attests his regard for learning or his devotion to religion. Like necessity, he is reputed to know no law, and the reviewer adds, with ominous reserve, that "the parti cular discussion of his character could not fail to be disagreeable," and ho therefore foregoes it. But a darker and more specific insinuation about the doctor was bruited abroad, and, if we may employ so rude a phrase, it cooked his goose effectually. We don't want to in jure the sale of his chologogues and anthel mintics, and we repeat the imputation with pain; but the truth must be told. The doctor was accused of being a chief proprie tor of tho principal radical nowspaper pub lished in this city, and of being, of course, morally responsible for the injurious and dangerous inculcations of . that journal. What there is in tho conduct of the 1'rihun e which makes it so objectionable to Massa chusetts Republicans we don't know. It merely rehearses the same foolish argu ments and reiterates the same arid for mulas which they employ upon the stump and exploit in lectures and air in (Jon cress and Legisluture; but the action of the convention, in thus contemptuously re jecting its chief proprietor, is conclusive of the estimation in which it is held. As soon as they found that the doctor was a stock holder of the turnip and strawberry organ, and the friend of Greeley, they threw him over at once; and it was proposed to inoorpo rate with the platform a clause warning Re publicans in good standing from taking any more of his pills. We are sorry for the doc tor, and think he ought to sell out his news- Eoper Btock and piously endeavor to recover is medicel standing. His political hopes are, of course, fanally quenched. Nothing, therefore, remains to him except to infuse more drastic elements into his medicines and more benevolence into his private life. So shall he recover the goodwill of his fellow- citizens and patients and the approbation of his own conscience, and finally leave no pre scription or recipe which, dying, he would wish to blot. THE CRISIS IN FRANCE. From the X. Y. Sun. If revolutions could be made to order, and delivered on a day appointed in advance, we ought .to have heard before this that louis Napoleon has been driven from the throne of i ranee, and either that an oricanist or Bourbon king has succeeded him, or that tho French Republic has been proclaimed anew, lesieruay was me last uay ui iuc puriou ui mi months since the dissolution of the old - .1 ii i i . r 1 1 : i . Leoi filature within which, according to the French Constitution, the newly-elected Legisla ture must be called together. Ihe 1-mporor disregarding the requirement, has fixed the 2!th of November as the day ot meeting, He is forearmed as well as forewarned, and if he is worsted in the encounter, it will bo because his old ability has deserted him. Still, it is only too evident that France is in a condition extremely unfavorable to the future prospects of tho reigning monarch The workingmen are excited to an alarming decree; half Paris is on a strike; formidable riots have occurred within a few weeks a various places; and tho liberty newly granted to tbe press has been avaiiod ot to give ex pression to the most bitter hatred of tho Em peror and ardent wishes for the restoration of the republic. The emissaries of tho Duke of Orleans are as busy as the radical dema gogues in fanning theso sparks into flames, and though they may be arrested and impris oned, that will not extinguish tho disaffection. The Emperor must be at his wit's end to know what to do. To us Americans the moral of this crisis in France is obvious. It is that ho government is so stable as that which tho people are allowed by law to mako for themselves. It is not questioned that Louis Napoleon is as able and patriotic a rulor as any whom the suffrages of French voters would bo likely to elect, ne has conducted tho affairs of tho nation, as Presidant and Emperor, with con summate skill for more thiui twenty yoars. Internally the conntry has prospered in ma nufactures, commerce, and the accumula tion of wealth. Externally, she is feared and respected as much, if not more, than in the proudest days of her past history. Tho Italian campaign of 1K5!) was worthy of Julius Cmsar; while the improvements of tho city of Paris recall the achievements of Augus tus. Yet in spite of all this, the French peo ple are restless and dissatisfied, because they are denied that personal liberty and share in the affairs of State so dear to every patriotic citizen. If they knew that thev could cot rid of their Emperor whenever they pleased, they would probably keep him in office till he died; but the more he trios to bo independent of their will, tho more determined they will be on effecting his downfall. THE FINANCIAL POLICY WHAT WILL IT BE? From the Pittnlurn Commercial. The heads of the Heveral departments of the Government are understood to be en gaged on the preliminary work of framing the annual reports. Certain parts of these the President will require a considerable time prior to the assembling of Con gross to en lle him to prepare his message. The greatest interest will centre on tho finances: and it is fair to presume that President Gr.int and Secretary Boutwrll are prepared to recom mend a distinct policy for tho future. What it will be in a i'puomI sense the course pursued by Mr. Bonl well pretty distinctly indicates. The central idea will be the funding of the debt at a low rate of interest. To this thero will be ftn obstacle lit the threshold tho exchanging of six per cent, for four per cent, bonds, with out compulsory legislation, which would be inconsistent with that porfoct faith to which tho Secretary and tho administration hold and will under all circumstances hold. On this point it is reasonable to expect the Secre tary will bo prepared to make practical re commendations to Congress. It is, as will at onco be seen, one presenting creat diffi culties. Were our credit loss firm and the future less certain, they might be considered somewhat loss grave. They interfere with our assured financial strength. Holders of six per cent, bonds must be furnished with ftn inducement for surrender ing those for others of a lower rate of interest. What will the Secretary recommend as such inducement? On this will depend largely the reduction of the taxes which the country is expecting, and which the administration feels confident, apparently, of accomplishing at tho next session of Con gress. It is a problem of present difficulties, and the solution which Mr. Boutwell will bo prepared to recommend will cause his report to be waited tor with ftn unusual degree of interest. In the estimation of some the question involves the revision of the tariff and the readjustment of duties purely on the revenue basis, jlo do this, and at the same time realize the expected reduction of taxes, to the extent of somothing like one hundrod mil lions annually, will tax the statesmanship of the administration and Congress. Of course free trade must be wholly out of the quostion. Such a policy would necessitate direct taxa tion for the lost revenue, and tho gold needed to meet the fixed wants of tho Government, and to a very considerable degree dry up the sources oi internal taxes. There must be a tariff one which will afford a certr.iu large revenue and preserve tho energies of the country whereby internal taxation can be borne, to supply tho b.ilauce necessary to meet all tho obligations of the nation, which aro fixed and inevitable. Will a purely revenue tarnt do this? Must it not neces sarily be protective, call it what you will? And will it not be to this complexion that Congress must come at last? GENERAL BUTTKItFlELD. Tho InvestUnllon by Solicitor Bandelet. A New York paper cives the followinir resume ot an Interview with Ucnernl Jiuttcrflcld: Solicitor liauficld, of the Treasury Depart ment, having been despatched from Washington to examine uencrai isutteriici.l lu relation to the charge that h was concerned with Gould, Fisk. and Corbiu in the gold conspiracy, arrived iu this city yesterday morning. At ten minutes after 10 o'clock, Mr. Buulleld was at tho Sub- Treasury to see General Buttei-flcld. The Soli citor and the Assistant Treasurer were closeted a louir time. Meantime, ereutlemcn well known on 'Change dropped Into the Treasury building to learn what was coins: on. 1 wo hours and a half elapsed, when Solicitor Banficld retired from (iencral iSutleruclu s nresencc. As soon, as liunfield had gone, a number of ucutlemen were usLercd into the General's presence, amonir whom was Augustus Hcliell. These irentlcmcu collectively had a confidential interview with the Assistant Treasurer. The door of the General's room remained closed a long time, and was utterly impassable to a half dozen or more small lry who were scekiug ad mission to the presence. When tho door was opened, and tho crowd had gone, General Buttertlold was left standing in the middle of the floor "uncovered," in a militaiy point of view. The reporter ad vanced cautiously, bowing, the General was dihtant and studiously reserved, "Sit down, sir," he said, pointing to a seat, "and I will be at leisure in a mouieut." He then p'pnod back to the table and touched a silvc. hell, which summoned a policeman to amuse the 'a com missioner. General Butterficld here wrote a despatch in forming the Secretary of the Treasury that ho could not get such un investigation as he desired while holding a civil cilice, and that, therefore, he nau ucicruiiucd to rcsitn. The following conversation then took place: me ticnerui i nave no vacaucics. - Reporter I have come to see you on another miitier altogether. I am a reporter of the 'i'lic General hat do you wish? Reporter I have come to learn the facts iu relation to Mr. Bantlclds interview with you mis morning The General You must see Mr. Banfiold. You can tell your half million of readers from me that 1 have resigned pending an investigation, and that 1 hope the will, as an honest lour- luil, not wifl'iug to prejudge tlio caio, leave me alone until the investigation has been made, and :i report has been submitted. "1 have another question, General," said the reporter. "I would like to know if I could get the numes or your sureties e "What do you want with them ?" he Inquired. "lo publish mem. 'They aro C. K. Garrison, 8. G. Wheeler, W. fl. Fargo, Hnd J. U. B. Davidson." "May I know the amount?" "Elicht hundred thousand dollars." It was not until late iu the afternoon that General Buttcrfiehl left the Treasury building. On noinir out of it ho met a friend on the steps, to whom he raid he had just finished a Ions letter to the Secretary of tho Treasury. Ihe name of General Buttoriiulds successor has not been made known. After leaving the Sub-Treasury, Solicitor Ban- lield went to the Astor House. It was under stood thut General Buttci field resigned with tho obioct of fur.herlnir tho investigation into the charge made against him. If the Sub-Treasury wire placed in the hands of another party, tho records and hooks could bo freely examined. The Solicitor conversed with Beveral friends. and it was apparent from what he said thut tho Government did not feel disposed to pross an investigation while General Butterficld was in office. Mr. Banfield refused to see many gentle men who sailed upon him. During the after noon he w rote a long letter to Secretary Bout- wen. Nwow Art unl Arclilc-iiro. BY JAMES RUBBELL LOWELL.
