THK TREASURY AjS'D TIL F, TAXPAYER. Frrm tft A'. 1'. Timt. We have no disposition to take from tho Beoretary of the Trnomiry any of tho credit he in entitled to for what he has already i ; eomplishod in reducing the debt. We ruvo nteadily miHtained bin etfortu in this direction, and have applauded the vigor aud honesty which have enabled him to pay oft' so largo an amount during his brief term of ofiijo. Thia praiao, however, ha been predicated in part upon the requirements of tho Hinking Fund law, -and in part upon the faut that a fiscal Bystem for which he is not responsible has placed hiui in possesnion of a large sur plus revenue. It wan his duty to dispose of this surplus in some way, and its application to the redemption of bonds has enabled him to confer upon tho country certain substantial bcnetlts. The question now is not whether Mr. LoutwcU's courso has been light or wrong, bnt whether it is just or expediont to con tinue the taxation which made that courso possible. We ha e nothing but praise for his use of the means which tho revenue placed at his disposal; bnt when he proposes to maintain this revenue at its present rate solely that he may continue tho reduction of an indebtedness not yet matured, we think it proper to remind him that tho time is not propitious for the cultivation of theories, or the promotion of pet projects, and that the people expect and have a right to expoct that the surplus shall hereafter inure to their benefit as taxpayers. Between the judicious application of a realized surplus, and the con tinuance of oppressive taxation solely with a view to the acquisition of a large surplus, there is an essential difference. It is the lat ter purpose which now challenges public attention. The plea is, that by keeping up the present surplus aud' applying it to the payment of unmatured dott, the Government will be enabled to fund tho bulk of the romaining debt at a lower rate of interest. Of those who persistently Urge this excuse, not one has condescended to explain on what ground the holder of a six per cent, bond may be expected voluntarily to exchange it for a four per cont. There must be compulsion of some sort or the conversion will not be made. Senator Sherman saw this when ho suggested that the bondholders Khould be made to un derstand that a refusal to exchange might be followed by the redemption of tho bonds in depreciated greenbacks instead of ooin. Others, more cautious, have contended that there can be no funding at a lower rate of interest until tho Government is enabled, by resumption, to offer gold for the six per cents as tho alternative of a four per cent, security. We are convinced that resumption must precede funding; and ns re fiunipUpH R $ VPVS Of we pprelieucl of yearsw Lave protested against the con tinuance of taxation for the promotion of an object which is distant and indefinite in its distance. There would be some reason in a proposal to prolong the present burdens an other year, if there wero any guarantee that at the end of that period funding might be effected. But there is no such guarantee and there can be none. On the contrary, since resumption is a necessary preliminary to funding, and since resumption itself in a comparatively remoto contingency, the propo sal to perpetuate exhaustive taxation lacks the only plausible pretense that has been invented in its behalf. There is a necessity which the advooates of immediate resumption and tho believers in the possibility of funding both overlook. The necessity in .question is relief to the taxpay ers. "Get back quickly to specie payments," sounds well enough. "Fund tho debt," jaonnds not annas. ' Jt these suggestions be- . come as nothing before the demand for re duced taxation. "Reduce the taxes !" That is the people's cry; a cry not raised by dema gogues or echoed by charlatans, but one that originates in me nciuai wants 01 iuo oommu nity in the condition of its trade and indus try, in the struggle of both for existence, and in the hardships entailed upon both by the present rate of taxation. The Tribune may point daily, if it so choose, to the "glory" in- I cident to the payment of indebtedness not ; due. The . taxpayers do not value that kind of glory they want felief. They don't ciwe about great benotits in the uncertain future. They hoed most their sufferings from taxa tion as it is, and they insist that tluit shall be diminished before aught be done towards the solution of other problems. The demand is rendered tho more em phatic and the more equitable by the gradual approach to specie payments and the neces sity of adjusting things before that result be reached. The Tribune characterizes the re marks that while "values are falling taxes re main the same" as "hheer effrontery." It in in the main fact, nevertheless. And if re sumption be brought about without revision and reduction of taxoa as a preliminary, the people will not be able to pay them. This, too, may be "shoer effrontery," but it also is as near akin to fact as anything in the future can be. For taxes undiminished in amount, with the values of labor and of all products diminished by resumption, would be practi " cally increased taxation and that at a time Tihen every interest would be sorely tried. PARTY ORGANS HERE AND IN ENG LAND. rrvm. tU V. Y. World. The London Time, in noticing the recent death of the London Star and Morning Utrald, attributes it to the fact that they were party organs. The UtaT was the organ of the extreme Liberals, of which John Blight was the acknowledged leader, and never attained any pecuniary prosperity. The Morning Herald was a high Tory organ. and attracted the notice of Americans during our late war by its advocacy of the cause of the Confederate States as aguiiiht that of the United States. What the Time says may be true, for the manurnvrcs of lending British Fioliticians frequently involve such changes of ront that a party sometimes finds itself advo cating a policy on one tiny wnleli it had strenuously opposed tho day before. A com paratively recent example of this was far Dished by Mr. Disraeli, who, when last ho va Prime Minister, introduced measures of fur more liberal character' than his opponents (the Liberals) had dared present. Of course, his party (the Tories) supported him, though right in the teeth of its provioiibly pro nounced policy. But it is, doubtless, on higher grounds that the Time sounds the knellof party organs, and its words have an application to such papers in this country as well as to its con temporaries in England. It is true that the day for Mind party organs in the United States is passed. And by this tonu we mean to designate those papers which so implicitly follow 10 the wuke vf their party approving tfvri jtliiif; said' ir, dottr: by its representatives mid consuming int vything miid or done ly its opi'onrtiti tliiit the re.iders know In ad vance prroiM ly wli.it course it will take in reference to try and every publii) measure It is in tho higheht degree creditable to the American people that it efuhows wioh jour nals and gives its support to those which have opnions of their ow n, irrespective of any political party or any political leaders. There is a sense, however, in which party organs are and will continue to be a necessity in this country. Political parties there always will be, and voters will rauge themselves wit h the olio whose professions most nearly accord with their own views. So, too, there will be newf papers which will advocate tho cause of each party, and thus represent a certain phase of public opinion. But tho journal which is blind to the faults of its own party, as well as to tho merits of tho opposing party, is not the one which commends itself to the average American. There is beneath all the partisan ship of our people an innate sense of justice that is quick to "respond to any attempt at fairness in a public journal. This fact tho leading papers in the country perceive, so that now, in place of the old slang whanging partisan organs that used to flourish so extensively, thero is a large and grow ing class of journals which exercise the right to judge impartially of the acts of either party, though in the main advocating the claims of one of them. Several such papers we could name, but tho pnhlio is too familiar with them to require it. They are the most influential and most prosperous papers in the country, and will continue to advance in pros perity bo long as they maintain their present course. On the other hand, the blind party organs (of which thero are still too many) are struggling for existence and are doomed to the fate of the Loudon Star and tho Morn ing JIrahf, unless they follow the example of their wiser contemporaries. It is a cho rished dream of many porsons that the acme of perfection in a newspaper would be neu trality in party matters. This dream is an idle one. So long as public measured can be adopted only by means of organized politi cal purties,and so long as voters will Ride with one or other of these parties, just so long will party journals bo a necessity; but those jour nals' will obtain influence in inverse ratio to their blind adherence to party. They must be independent, but not neutral. FRENCH rOLITICS. From the llonton Traveller. The condition of affairs in France is an apt practical commentary on French politics. Na poleon III, having made up his mind to abandon that system of personal government which he had pursued for almost eighteen years if we count from the coup dtit of December, 1851 seems determined to give the constitutional system a fall and fair trial; and that under circumstances and conditions w hich will not leave its votaries any ground for reasonable or unreasonable complaint or criticism. That they do complain of and criticise his course is clear, even from the meagre accounts of their words and their deeds that we obtain through the telegraphic despatches; but that docs hot provft t-h.t thci? language and their action are reasonable or that they are even what could bo called un reasonable; for, generally speaking, tho tongues and the pens aud the hand of French politicians are so employed as to convey a very vivid impression that their owners are as mad as hares are reputed to bo in March. There are but one or two instances in French history of tho existeuce of political parties that bhould not have been sent to Charenton, to promote the safety of the French Empire, republic, or kingdom Charenton having been for more than a century the soat of the French Bedlam. Insanity is the exception w ith the political parties of England and the United States, and sanity the rule. Twice, perhaps (in 1840 and in 1800), have parties gone mad in this country; and four or live times have Eng lish parties so acted as to be compelled to put in the plea of insanity in bar of the judgment of history. But oven when most crazy, English And American parties liavo not SO borne thomselves as to leave tho impression on the mind of tho sane observers of their allliction that they were hopelessly mad. Re mission might speedily come, and that would lie followed by cure, and then a long period of health would set in. With French parties the case is very different. Insanity is with them the long rule, and . sanity the rare ex ception. Trace them back through almost six centuries from tho time of Napoleon III to Philip-Augustus, in whose reign France, as wo moderns understand the name, began to exist and you w ill tind them, with very few exceptions, as mad as madness could make them, and thus mating ot tne v renon world "a mad world, my masters!" Imperialists and Republicans, Orleanists and Legiti mists, White Terrorists and Rod Ter rorists, Constitutionalists and Royalists, Jacobins and lhermnlorians, Jleertists and Cordeliers, Girondius and Feuillans, Parliamentarians and Absolutists, Jausenists (Port Royalists) aud Jesuits, llazarinists and Frondenrs, Huguenots and Leaguers, Bur gundians and Armagnacs, Nobles and Jacques, Albigensos and Romanists, and so on, down far into the crusading age road tho history of these French purties, or rather factions, and you oro to be excused if you come to tho conclusion that you are perusing t he annals of Charenton, compiled by a faithful, an impartial, and a conscientious editor. The exceptions are so few that wo think it is tolerably safe to say that the i'olitiqucs of the sixteenth century formed almost the only really sane purtj over known in ''the plea sant land of France," where men are addicted to such very uuplcasunt proceedings in poli tics. Sane politicians aro not unknown, and never have been unknown, among the French, but sound-minded parties aro all bnt unknown t that lively and polished poople, who claim to be, and not altogether unreasonably on some ground.-), the first of existing races; and in, no other country are political loaders ho often lod as they are in franco, where the many-heaued many control tho clear-headed few. There is hardlv a religious or a political excess men tioned in French history and that history is full of instances of excesses perpetrated in the names of religion and politics that was not the work of mobs, calling themselves the people. Tho horrors of both ter rors, white as well as red, were the work of the rabble, not of their loaders, most of whom would have been glad to spare Mood; and it is all but certain tli.it Robespierre's full was owing as much to his desiro to put an end to butchery as to all the evil of which he was guilty, lliat his over : throw fc as followed by a reaction against the ; torror was due to accident, not to design. ' Danton and his friends had fallen had "sneezed in the uack" because they had sou (lit to lessen the requisitions that were made upon tho executioners and their over worked assistants. So it has been throughout tho entire career of I ranee, no party being satisfied with victory over its rival, but think ing itself badly used if not allowed to enjoy .,..1 ... i. il if mih luxury oi eiiermmauug it tuua junwiy ing the bitter remark of that veteran poliU eian find liistorinn, M.

He has forbidden the Dnke of Geuoa to accept that dangerous piece of jewelry, the Spanish crown. Though forestalled in this action by the stripling Duke's mother and her hus band, the Marquis Rapallo, the gentleman King claims the supreme right to dispose of Italian princes. All of them are now agreed, if the cable reports unerringly, not to touch tho fatal crown. Consequently thero is another crisis in the desperate fortunes of Spain, and Marshal Prim, with his Ministry, is faid to have resigned from the Government, which is to say, in other words, that the Gov ernment has resigned from itself. This hap pens when the Treasury of Spain is in an ex hausted condition, and while Democratic papers in Madrid can afford to complain of the horrors of the Cuban war, and ask for the cessation of a vain crusade. Meanwhilo, the inevitable Montponsier is announced on hand as always, like that sempiternal blacking ef which we have more than once read. The crown of Spain, of which Isabella is charged With having stolen the jewels, is once more rejected in the market, and is about to be set aside by the auctioneer. Who bids? Can Montpensier buy it, or will Mar shal Prim accept the Republic in its stead ? It is a grievous and disreputable crown. Most of its jewels are gome, so that it would be a real saving to Spain not to have a king, and so avoid the expense of getting a new oxe. Minister Figuerola, who takes care of a treasury which a democratic newspaper of Madrid f'ettarcs is almost bankrupt, has been provoked to charge upon the ex-Queens Christina ar.d Isabella the robbery of about t 1,000,000 worth of jewels belonging to the Crown. Ex-Queen Christina implores tho Minister of Finance to consent to become a private citizen, in order that she may prose cute him. Ex-Queen Isabella also rejects, and we presume indignantly, tho application to her of what her ex-MinisteJ Canovas calls the ignominous epithet of thief; and her daughter's recent distresses, which have boon brought to the notice of the French public through a court, show that tho want of these jewels is more apparent than the possession of them. Minister Figuerola promises, how ever, convincing proof of ' the high crime of Crown robbery; and as the jewel reputation has been lost by one or both of tho ex-Quoons, many Spaniards will venture to believe that they have stolen others. This theft, a royal one in every respect, suggests curious reflections upon the state of Eublic virtue in Spaiu. Queen Isabella may avo stolen jewels, lmt that was not a circum stance to her habit of squandering Spanish money. Her ministers were not guilty of vio lent theft, bnt it is notorious that they robbed their country of revenues. I lor generals were not bandits, but somehow Spain has suffered from them. Then, too, if the Queen could pilfer in Madrid, what might not her favorites have done in Cuba? These inquiries have Very wide ramifications, and would tend in evitably to raise up doubts not only of the modesty with which Spanish officials steal in Cuba, but of tho honesty with which they bleed their country in Spain. There is a kind of possession which is as bad as robbery. This was the case when Isabella wore the crown, with all its jewels, and gambled away one by one those line gems of public credit and integrity, and that publio ' honor whose price is above rubies. This was the case, too, when the Spani ards insisted on retaining the island which they poetically call "the gem of the Antilles," and "one of the brightest jewels in the Crown of Spain." The Cuban gem is a fatal one to Spain, and more safely belongs to its natural owners. But the gipsy of nations, who cries out for her missing baubles, and clutches at this one, will not, cannot see that a greater theft than Isabella's is tho steal ing of liberty from millions of whites and blucks. Tir1 DEISTICAL COUNCIL IN NAPLES- UNITED ITALY AS IT IS. From the y. Y. Herald. By special lotter from Naples we have the third day's proceedings of the mem bers of the Deistical Council assembled in that city, with the resolutions which were adopted by them preparatory to tho adjourn ment of the body. In previous communica tions from the same pen we have already de tailed the inauguration of the meeting and its preliminaries. We now presont its platform and results. The exhibit is a strange one, comiug as it does from a classic, educated, , and at one time over pious land, to be read by Americans in the full light of the civiliza tion and common school education of the nineteenth century. The Council in Naples was called ostensibly in opposition or by way of a free-thinking contrast to the (Ecumenical Council in Rome, bnt, as will be seen, the representatives hur ried on w ith such rapidity of thought that they almost immediately lost sight of tho very reverend and aged gentleman who claims to be tho visible vicegerent of God on earth, and soared far away over his head to assail and defy the heaveuly enthronement. There wero Frenchmen, Italians, Germans, and English men; so that the war notes went forth in a chorus of almost Babelio utterances. It was young Italy and old and young France, with a decrepit assumption of medin val Britain, in what appears to us a poor plagiarism of Vol taire and a miserable imitation of Robespierre, lacking the genius of tho one and the personal courage of the othor, and with tho Goddess f Reason behind the scenes. "War to tho death with God," "war to religion and tho princes," were the short and sententious ut terances with which the doctrine of woman's rights aud the moro subtle essentials of many of tho modem isms which have crept so silently into the midst of our own population in many places were proclaimod. The pro mulgation of a general proclamation of atheism was advocated, and Anally, as wo are told iu conclusion, "many illustrious atheists gathered at the table, not to protest against the (Eciuueuical Council, but to combat God." Unhappy Italy ! Ia her pursuit of union and consolidation has she evolved only tho elements of governmental disunion and social anarchy 'i Loosing herself voluntarily and by violence from a recoguizod centre of dis cipline and order, iB she really incapable of walking alone in decency before the nations, or has she fallen from the path of rectitude merely in temporary lipnux in consequence of an unadvised adoption of a new codo of morals one which bears such fruit us was lately seen in tho palaue near Florence during the moribund marriage of her death-Bick king? In that instance it was free love and marriage, to-day it is Deism and "war on God." Wo regret all this sincerely. It is to bo lamented for the sake of Italy, her morals, her government, and her finance, for tho sake of Trance and for the sake of Germany. Our special writers in Paris have told and tell of Traupmann; ; from Geimasy we buye ney,s of tho murderer of a clergyman, who, as ho informed the judge, was convinced at nineteen years of age that "there is no God, that it was all a fable," and even worse. Among onrselves wo have mur ders, family butcheries, assassinations, the knife, socialism, clerical seutiiuentalism, free love and death-bed marriages. What is tho reason? Is it from an unrestrained license of preaching and teaching? Shall we have a moral reaction and ropentanco, or a complete dissolution of the bonds of society? AFRAID OF THE PEOPLE. From thtX. y. Sun. It is Raid that Mr. Secretary Fish has com municated to tho Senate's Committee on Foreign Affairs tho papors relating to tho celebrated note which Goneral Sickles pre sented to tho Spanish Government in Sep tember last, in compliance with orders from Washington, and then withdrew again in compliance with similar orders. These papers were not included among the docu ments on the Cuban question submitted to Congress in consequence of a resolution call ing for them; but it seems that the Senate's Committee has required them, and that they have been furnished. Mr. Fish, however, enjoins entire secrecy upon tho committee. He does not wish the people to know what these papers contain. He thinks it is proper for the rulers of this republio to manage the affairs of their constituents just as monorchs manage thoirs, treating their subjects as of no account. We dare say that there is good reason why Mr. Fish should desire to keep the papers in question from publicity. They cannot bo creditable to him or to tho President, or indeed to anybody, unless it be Mr. Sidney Webster, his son-in-law, Spain's hired advo cate. The note of General Sickles, tho reply of the Spanish Government, tho second note of Sickles, humbly withdrawing tho first, aro all things which tho American people would not be displeased with if they should set them. What if it should appear and wo have good reason for believing that the papers, if published in full, would show it that tho first note was humbly with drawn because tho Spanish Government threatened war if it was not withdrawn? Would a fact of that sort bo grateful to ' tho Yankee nation ? Wonld it reconcile them to having a Secretary of State with his son-in-law under Spanish pay, while tho father-in-law was negotiating with Spain upon matters vitally concerning our national interests and our national honor ? Secrecy is proper in diplomacy, as in every thing else, while the business it deals with is still unfinished. But the business treated in the Sickles papors is completed. There is no reason for keeping them private any longer, except to cover up the shamo which General Grant and Mr. Fish, under the guid ance of Sidney Webster, have inflicted upon the country in their betrayal of the Cubans and their truckling to Prim and Serrano.
