WILL GENERAL GRANT'S ADMINISTRA
TION BE A SUCCESS OR A FAILURE ?
From (he If. Y. Herald.
Never Binco the foundation of our Govern
ment has an administration come into power
with more eclatf with greater advantages, or
more opportunities to aoqnire enduring fame
than the present one; but we have yet to tee
if General Grant understands the splendid
position he hokta or has the ability to nse these
favorable ciroutmtances to make himself as
famous in government as he was in- war. Will
he beoome another Jackson, or greater than
Jackson, and close his administration with as
rnuoh .populority as old Hickory ? Or will
he go out as inglorionsly as Buchanan and
Rink into similar disgrace and obscurity?
Eleven ont of the first twelve months of his
four years' Presidency have passod with little
promise. The next three years will show
whether he will improve by time as wine does
ly age.
There can bo no question as to General
Grant's elevated patriotism, true republican
principles, in the general sense of the term,
or of the honesty and kindness of his heart.
His pHblio career during the war
and since has proved that. Nor is the
rreeident incapable of learning statesmanship.
He has a large fund of praotical common
eense, and common sense in the first quality
of a statesman. During the war he advanoed
in knowledge by experience and showed him
self competent for every emergency. Though
lie commenced as a colonel of a regiment, and
Lad never been in command of a larger force,
lie rose through his military genius and prac
tical sense to the command of all the armies.
It is true the foundation of this brilliant mili
tary career was laid in a West Point educa
tion And some little service previously in the
army; but without genius or great ability he
never oonld have galnod the victories
he did gain or have carried out that
lorious campaign whioh closed up the war.
ooking, then, at his great success as a mili
tary man, we might hope for the display of
nnoommon talents in the administration of
the Government. We find many examples in
history of great commanders becoming the
first of statesmen. Ciosar, the first Napoleon,
the Duke of Wellington, and others may be
named as examples. We are aware that
General Grant had no experience or training
in civil affairs till he attained, a short time
Binoe, the elevated position he occupies had
never been even in a local legislature or em
ployed as a civil officer; but the same quali
ties of mind which distinguished him so
much as a general might make him a great
statesman, were he to apply them with indus
try and ambition to civil affairs. It is only
neoessory, we believe, that he should cut
loose from the weak men and mere politicians
that surround him, trust to his own practical
common sense and patriotic) impulses, and
net independently for the good and glory of
the country.
General Grant's conduct at the close of the
war, and for some time after, showed broad
and correct views of national affairs and indi
cated ability for statesmanship. Immediately
after the Rebellion was suppressed he wished
to see the Union restored at once and the sad
memories of the war obliterated as soon as
possible. It was evident ho did not favor
then, and for some time afterwards, the pro
longed reconstruction agitation, proscrip
tion of the Southerners or the party politi
cal object of Congress in keeping the
question of reconstruction open. lie had
large and liberal views then. It will be
remembered, too, how broadly national and
patriotio he was on the question of the French
occupation of Mexico, when he boldly pro
posed to march an army across the Rio Grande
to drive the French from American soil. In
fact, on all questions both of a domestic and
foreign character he was liberal, republican,
and American to the core. His heart is right,
doubtless, but he has trusted to others when
he should have followed his own impulses,
has suffered himself to be the tool of a fac
tion when he had the people with him and
the power to carry out his own policy, and is
now only drifting along as a few men direct
him, because he wishes to avoid trouble and
to take things easy, lie seems to have lost
in a measure his independence and ambition
since he became President.
None of General Grant's predecessors had
the opportunity be has for accomplishing
great things and acquiring fame. He is Pre
sident when the Republio is undergoing a
great material, soeial and political revolution,
partly as a result of the war and partly from
the wonderful developments of the age. The
American Republio, with its forty millions of
intelligent and intensely active citizens, its
boundless and varied resources and wonderful
future, holds the first position among nations,
and is the one to which the people of all
others are looking as the hope of the world.
General Grant holds the helm of affairs just
as we have commenced this new era of pro
gress and greatness. Will ho comprehend this
and the glorious opportunity before him ?
Instead of suffering himself to be clogged in
the mire of party politics, or to be controlled
by weak and narrow-minded politicians, can he
raise himself up to the grandeur of the occa
sion and high aspirations of the nation? Con
gress is weak and tottsed about like a ship at
sea without a rudder. It wants to be steered.
It needs a guiding hand. The dominant party
that elected General Grant looks to the ad
ministration for maintaining its power, and
would be glad to follow the President in any
Donular course he imam niarK out tor mm
self. Reconstruction is about to be finished,
and will no longer be a political question
There remain the various questions pertaining
to the national finanoes and taxation. With
regard to these the President may do some
thing beneficial to the country, lie can cut
down all expenditures of the departments to
. the lowest figures, and thus save mil
lions a year. He can nse his power
to check the extravaganoe of Congress,
'and by an improved system of taxation
to lessen the burdens of the people. He can
set his face against the national bank mono
uolv and the schemes in Congress now to in
crease its enormous power and profits at the
expense of the public There is a broad field
In these and other purely domestic questions
for distinguishing and making himself popu
lar. But if he would arouse the sympathies
of the people, if he would touch the popular
heart, and make his administration famous in
history, he must do something to gratify
national ambition. There is Cuba looking to
na for practical sympathy and annexation.
This rioh and most valuable island on the
border of the republio, if annexed, would
not only greatly enlarge the area of our
dominion and republican liberty, but would
tend very much to revive our commerce aud
declining mercantile marine; would increase
me variety or our prouuoia, aua would
' strengthen our power throughout the Ameri
can continent, seas and islands. The admin
istration has but to lift its finger, and
Cuba would belong to us. nere, then, is a I
fine opportunity to gratify national ambition '
and to promote national interests. Then .
there is British Columbia knocking for admis
sion to the United States; there is a similar
movement on the Red river, in the heart of
the continent, and some of the British colo
nies on the Atlantio side are casting wistful
eyes to the great republio. Cannot General
Grant strike out in a bold policy for the ac
quisition of some or all these territories as a
settlement of the Alabama claims or upon
some other terms? Extension of ter
ritory and increase of population and pro
ducts lead to an increase of oommeroe and
shipping, and that is just what we need
now. Besides, the President might well turn
bis attention to measures for extending
our trade abroad and for reviving our mer
cantile marine. The republio has reaohed
that prominent position when it cannot stand
still. It must advance exteriorly with the
wonderful progress and developments of the
age, with its internal growth and in accord
ance with the aspirations of the people, or
stagnation will follow, domestio trouble will
spring np, and we shall fail to fulfil the great
destiny marked out for us. If General Grant
comprehends the necessities of our national
situation, and should strike out in a new and
bold policy in accordance with them, his ad
ministration will be a success; but if his
vision be confined to petty local affairs and
party politics, if he cannot understand the
mission and destiny of this mighty country,
and remains the mere instrument of the
narrow-minded politicians that surround him,
he will prove a lamentable failure ana his
glorions war reoord will be buried beneath the
unpopularity of his government
PETITIONS BY FOREIGNERS.
rrtm Out If. Y. Tribunt.
Several days ago, in tho Senate, Mr. Conk
ling asked permission to present the memo
rial of Mr. Henry Mahler, a citizen of
Prussia, which Btated, "in very respectful
and persuasive langaage, that Mr. Mahler had
contributed valuably and essentially to the
success of the French cable as an experiment;
and asked that in any adjustment made in
regard to it, we may take into consideration
his claims and affix such requirements as may
be deemed just." Mr. Conkling asked that
this memorial might be referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. To this just
and courteous proposition, we are ashamed to
say that objection was made upon purely
technical grounds. Messrs. Pomeroy and
Trumbull joined in objecting to the reference
or reception of any petition from a foreigner,
and they were sustained by the Vice-President,
although at first he had grave doubts upon
the subject. Mr. Pomeroy subsequently
withdrew his objection; Mr. Trumbull
thought it best "not to change the rule;" and
the Vice-President declined to entertain the
motion to receive the petition.
If the Senate had not subsequently re
trieved its character for the commonest
civility, and the most ordinary comity, as will
presently be soen, we should have been com
pelled to characterize its narrow and churlish
course in the plainest of language. For any
rule or usage preventing the citizens of
foreign countries who may have grievances
to redress which can only be redressed by
Congress, from respectfully approaching that
body and asking tor relief, wo cannot, with
the best exercise ot our ingenuity, discover
the smallest excuse, tor our relations to
foreign powers have become so numerous
and so intimate, that it may well happen
that injustice to a foreigner may be injustice
to our own citizens; while, in equity, there
cannot be the smallest doubt that whenever
we are as a nation deriving a general bene
fit from any project iu which foreigners
are interested, we are bound to protect their
interests ns we would protect our own. What
Mr. Mahler's claims are, we do not know
They may be insignificant, or, however lorco,
they may be without foundation; but if he
has experienced a wrong at tne naads of. tne
French Company (which is not, by any means,
the most improbable thing in the world), why
should we not, while we are negotiating, so to
speak, with that company, consider Mr. Mah
ler s claim as an important or at least a legiti
mate part of the subject matter nndor con
sideration ? And if we may consider it, why
may not Mr. Mahler, albeit a citizen of Prus
sia, ask us to consider it
Mr. Conkling, having been met and re
pulsed by tho usage of the Senate, sought the
usual refuge in a resolution. He moved that
the Committee on Resolutions be instructed.to
inquire into Henry Mahler's olaims against the
managers of the i rencu cable, and whether
they should be regarded or protected by the
Congress of the United States, lhis time,
we are sorry to say that objections were raised
by a Senator usually so liberal as Mr. Sum
ner. "If the Senate," said he, "cannot re
ceive a petition or memorial from a foreign
citizen, can tne same object be accomplished
indirectly?" Of course it can. If the Senate
finds itself, by reason of a most unreasonable
precedent, unable to listen directly to a sup
pliant who ass for simple justice (as, without
knowing the particulars, we nresunnoae Mr.
Mahler to ask), then it is thrice better for
the Senate to do right indirectly than not to
do right at all. Indeed, Mr. Conkling dis
posed of this objection in so conclusive and
summary a way, mat air. aumncr appears to
have waived it without further debate, only
suggesting that perhaps it would be better
for Mr. Conkling to write a private note about
the matter to the committee. Mr. Conkling
at once and properly declined to write private
notes about anything to any committee; and
his . resolution was agreed to. Mr. Mahler
may consider himself not only a fortunate
but a powerful man. He has compelled the
Senate to swallow a great many yards of the
reddest tape in tho world.
A CAKE AND NO MISTAKE.
Frvm the If. Y, World.
Men who value tlmcrn tana in corpora
iano" are seldom partial to cake of any kind.
They regard it as particularly unwholesome,
being compounded of ingredients which, aa
Miss Martineau says of pie-crust, are any
thing but beneficial to digestion. It seems,
however, that a certain protectionist district
in Pennsylvania has so high an opinion of the
virtues of cake as to send a representative of
that name to Congress. We are not told,
indeed, what kind of cake it is that has been
put forward to represent the iron and coal
interests of this enlightened section of the
State, but we should judge it to be a plum
cake nicely filled with bills for the protection
of American (Pennsylvanlan) industry, into
which the young protectionist, Jaok Horner,
can insert his thumb and draw ont a plum for
himself, saying, "What a bravo boy am II"
an amusement highly creditable to all the
parties concerned, Cake included.
During the late debate on the subjeot of
printing Mr. Wells' report, this animated and
amiable Cake proceeded to deliver himself as
follows: .
Mr. Cake (Fa.) loquitur Mr. speaker, tne
earlier work of Mr. Well in the Interest of protec
tion la pronounced creditable. The mistake seems
to have been In sending him to England in an official
capacity. Had it not been lor the f lat of his official
capacity, lie might have gone to England la safety
to return In Innocence. Ilad It not been for the lm
porunre with which Ms offlolal capacity clothed
him. hi InTMtlfratlong there would hare teen proae
cu' to a good end. and he to-day honored bv the
.era In the American BHncipio. instead of belnc
au(l at by every American workman. Had It not
been for the official character of lils pilgrimage, be
would not have been worm uuring, and ne nad, per
adventure. returned to his native land a useful man.
Hut hi office killed him, and hit short life may serve
as a useful lesson to olhera who may rise by reason
of loud-spoken advocacy of proteotlve measures. If
he continues In Ufa after the expenditure of the an-
Dronriatlun vouchsafed to him last snmmer noon

THAT IRREPRESSD3LE FLY.
From the If: Y. Tribune.
It has attained the dignity of a publio nui
sance. It worries ns at every street corner.
All the ragged urchins in the city are whist
ling, singing, and snouting "Shoo, t ij I Its
awful caricature stares ns in the faoe every
where like a nightmare in the daytime. In
card size it is vended at every pioture
stand; in me size it is posted on every
available advertising space; and, like other
sensations of tho day, it won't stay in its
own sphere, which in all conscience is
extensive enough. It hasn't any conscience,
and ruthlessly invades all parts of the social
fabric It has entered the furnishing stores,
and furnishes its detestable name to all man
ner of goods. We have the "Shoo fly
hot," the "Shoo fly cravat," the "Shoo fly
shirt, the "Shoo fly boots, blacking, cutis.
collars, sleeve-buttons, suspenders, and what
next the Lord only knows. We venture
humbly to suspect, however, that the next
adaptation will be as a Sunday Sohool song, a
psalm tune, or church voluntary, with bril.
liant variations by the organist on the vox
hvwana stop. And why not, when a distin
guished divine quotes it from the pulpit?
It is worse than the smallpox and bad as the
cholera, and e&tches more readily than either.
It is the "fraud" of the period, and a satire
upon itself, "bnoo, ny, don t bodder me.
Exactly so; why doesn't it "shoo," and stop
bothering us? But with malice prepense and
aforethought, this awful "fly" only buzzes the
louder, and tho more we hear "don't bodder
me" the more does it bother us.
How long is this thing to last ? Will any-
body be kind enough to indict Bryant for
arson, or wont Barnard issue an injunction
against this fraudulent "fly? If not,
will Mayor Hall be kind enough to ssue a
proclamation and let all policemen inconti
nently nab and lock up any one who shall
hereafter say, sing, snout, or in any audible
manner utter "shoo fly, and let all "snoo-
fly" goods be confiscated in the shops they
infect. Then perchance will this irrepressi
ble insect stop bothering us.
THE MISSING CROWN JEWELS ARE IN
MEXICO.
from the If. Y. Sun.
A report comes to us from Mexico that will
be interesting to several titled personages in
J.U1UIJU. All IB BIUIOU UU glUU UUbUUllbJ OUOV
the crown jewels of Spain, which have been
missing for some time, are in pawn at the
national Monte do l'iedad in tho city of
Mexico.
These piecious articles are not to be seen
by ordinary visitors to that establishment;
but the story is that tney were snown to Mr.
Seward and one or two members of his
party. They include the jewels that were
pawned bv Isabella not tne lsaDeua oi
the period, but the other to fit out Colum-
bus on his voyage to disoover America. A
portion, if not ad the jewels that have been
added to the Spanish crown since that time
are with them, and tne entire lot nas been
pledgod as collateral as a loan to somebody.
The amount of the loan and the name of the
party who negotiated it are not given, but
could probably be ascertained by application
to tne proper authorities at tne Aiexioan
capital.
At first glance it would seem improbable
that these jewels should be pledged in
Mexico: but a littlo reflection will show that
they would more likely be in Mexioo than
anywhere else. It would bo impossible, for
diplomatic reusons, to pawn them at any na
tional tnoiit dc pirte in Europo, and there is
probably no private establishment on that
side of the water that oonld or would lend
money upon them. We have no national
pawnbroker in the United States, and there is
no private bunpson or Jacobs among us wno
commands sulhoient capitui to nauuie bau
bles so costly. But Mexico is remote; it has
no diplomatic relations with Spain, France,
or Austria; doesn't care a rush about Europe,
or the opinions of any of its sovereigns; aud
has a national three-ball shop of unlimited
capital. Tossibly this discovery may lead to
reclamations and threats from Prim and
Serrano, but they will have little effect upon
the mind of Benito Juarez and ma country
men.
