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.
