2 THE DAILY E V KNIISG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1870. spirit or Tnn run as. Editorial Opinion of the Leading Journals upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. THE CAUSES OF DULL TIMES. From the Chicago lie iiubi iean. One of the iuot notorious faots in the stagnation iu imsinex throughout a wide spread portion of this country. While no body doubta tho fact, thoiwands diffor about the causes. We have our own opinion on this question, and here are our roasons for the faith that i in ns : In 18;.r, McCnlloch instituted his policy of contraction. He burnod many thousand dol lars of currency, and thus very materially reduced the volume of the circulating medium. A cry of remonstrance came from the people, and his restrictions were brought to a close by Congressional enactmont. I)o Kpite this stoppnge, these had accomplished a certain extent of their mission. This persistent effort to got baok to a re sumption of specie payments was aooompa niod by a variety of intluencos loading in the direction of panic. There was not only an enforced but a natural contraction of the currency. While Secretary McCnlloch was burning tip millions of groonbacks every month, the aroa over whioh the currency was spreading was very largely increased. For instance, the South had few banks and little of the circulating medium of the country. California contracted payments on a basis of gold. The Pacific Ilailroads were not yet opened. Greenbacks and national bank notes were confined within restricted limits. With tho cessation of hostilities botween the sections, came a dispersion of the cur rency, whose other name is contraction. Regions which never before had contained a dollar of greenbacks, soon absorbod every dollar of national currency of all sorts they could attract. This progressive movement brought about a stringency in the money market. It became difficult to borrow money for reasonable commercial periods. The tendency, more and more, was to loan money on call. This custom, however, made it more and more difficult for business men to carry their burdens. The inevitable conse quence was that they curtailed operations. In doing this, various employes went out of situations. These became competitors at once with those who had places. At once ensued a competition for the sale of services. This of course operated to reduce compen sation. As each person was crowded oat, without resort for subsistence bat the sale of his services, the war on salaries and wages accumulated. Moreover, the purchasing power of tho community was, at the same time, diminishing. Every one deprived of the power of earning a livelihood was ne. cessarily abridged in his power to make purchases. All this, of course, meant a falling off of trade. There was plenty to sell, but there were constantly f e wer and fewer buyers. Such is increasingly the condition of the North. Thousands upon thousands are without employment, and the number is regularly augmenting without the prospect oi diminution, mere is a compe tition lor the sale ot services, and this com petition grows constantly stronger and stronger. Here we get at the secret of tho dullnss of the times. Men who have no money cannot buy; men who canno) find employment cannot earn money; men who have no money and cannot earn it are in no condition to be purchasers of commodities, either for speculation or for consumption. Under such circumstances it is impossible not to have dull times. Meantime, the South, so lately desolated and almost bankrupt, is prosperous. Why ? Because there a competition for the employ ment of service is taking place. The great cry is for laborers. Every person who seeks it can find labor, and reasonable compensa tion. In various parts of the cotton belt, negroes are able to accumulate from $500 to $;SOO0 for one year's work, as their share of the growing crop. It is because labor is scarce and high. These persons, at best, are only skilled farm hands, conversant with the culture of the fleecy staple. While they reap a harvest of returns upon their daily toil, thousands in the North stand upon the verge of suffering, perhaps almost of starvation. While there is a plethora of laborers at the North, there is luck at the South in other words, in one section, there is a competition for the sale; in the other, a competition for the employment of labor. It may be asked, why do not the excess of laborers in the one section seek employment in the other section, where there is a lack ? We reply, because there is no means to ex change localities. The man who has not one cent in his pocket is in poor condition to pay for the warm meal he needs; so the man who has been weeks out of work is in poor condition to seek new scenes of employment. Here we get at the secret of dull times. The purchasing power of the community, compulsorily, has boon signally diminished, Wholesalers cannot sell, because retailers cannot sell; retailers cannot sell, because cus tomers have no money with which to pur chase. Reverse these conditions. Give em ployment to the idle; pay wages to those with out work, and the purchasing power of the masses will be increased. Then, the man who is now impecunious will have somothing to spend; from these purchases profits will flow in upon dealers; retailers will patronize whole salers; and so the movement of recuperation will go on, trom the bottom to the top. Dull times, then, are not so much due to over-production, as to inability to consume. Set in motion the influences which increase the circulation of commodities, and imme diately we shall have an accession oi pros perity. CANING AND COWIIIDING. From the A. i7. Tribune. There is an epidemic of personal chastise ment in the land. Men and women, mounted npon their injuries, are "making for" other men and women, who ar supposed to have injured them, with a ferocity which is trulv formidable. In Chicago lately the dramatic Amazons of the Thompson liurlesquers thus unsexed themselves, and, for once in their lives, exhibited the moat violent seri ousness. In our own city recently one of oar own guild was greatly fustigated on account of an unlucky piece of his penmanship. 'rh.a telegraph brings us daily descriptions 0f these resorts to the cane as the avenger of wounded honor. Thus, in Chioago agaia, one Maurice Langloth, who is the city editor of a German newspaper, betrayed perhaps by that yearning for sensational variety whioh renders feverish almost the whole raoe of city editors, published some scandal oi anu coucorning tne j?rau Btielman, a German actress, a woman of great fame and equai virtue, iane a Bwu t but savage Ca milla, she at once scoured the streets of Chicago, and skimmed into the office of the Teutonio journal, where, between her and the urban snapper-Tip of trifles, ensued a word combat of the iatenaegt volubility. This, wo grieve to sny, ended somewhat tragically, for I the city editor (we are loth to write it), mad- I dened by the repartees of Mrs. btielman, was so ungallant as to stab her with that instru ment of bis vocation, "a penknife, i or tun he was conducted to a dungeon; but soon getting out again, he resumed at once the business of speaking evil of Thespians, and especially of a man and maidon at the same theatre, r or tins he was duly Hogged by two young men"upon the pavement, this time "with a horsewhip;" and so the honor of tho young persons at tne theatre may be con sidered as asserted and duly demonstrated. This business of chastising is getting, it seems to us, a little stole and tedious. It would be quite refreshing to hear of somebody who, having been blown to a groat height in the journalistio columns, did stoically deter mine to regard his involuntary elevation with profound contempt. Speaking for ourselves personally, and as a general thing, we had rather be despised than caned, and anybody who feels disposed is, by these presents, Bo- corded full liberty to regard us with the utmost loathing and horror; to consider us as abso lutely beneath his notice, and especially to treot us with that form of contempt which is called and known as the silent. In this mis cellaneous world we have never dilated with the absurd ambition of trying to please everybody. Spades are spades, aud none the less bo though we may enphonioally designate them as shovels. In the course of human events, of which destiny has designated us as annalists, it sometimes becomes necessary to speak of human obliquities, and to speak of them with a reasonable degree of sharpness. It happens of course at rare intervals that newspapers should sometimes speak the truth, not merely of measures, but of men; and sometimes to mitigate an offense against de cency is snbstantiidly to publish not "a lie" (for that is a word which it is never proper to use), but let us say "an untruth," which is a more comfortable expression. Therefore, we may be obliged to call a man sometimes by a hard name; but should we do so, we hereby permit, allow, and license that man to consider us as caned or cowhided to post the fact, as if it were a fact, in all bar-rooms, exchanges, and other places where men most do congregate to boast and brag and swag ger up and down the town at our expense; and to publish, if he pleases, in a pamphlet, the particulars of our chustiseruent. He will thus experience all the pleasures without the perils of a heroic action, while it will be our own good luck to escape the pangs. For his consolation, we assure him that he will find fools enough to be lieve him; to glory greatly in his valor and our own discomfiture; to narrate the tale in all companies to which they may gain admis sion with a perfect crescendo of circumstances; and to consider us as a thing to be pointed at, ridiculed, and despised, lie will thus acquire immense reputation; our own will not be materially hurt; everything will go on Berenely, without recourse to the low and vulgar expedient of flogging, which is only lit lor tho rivo l'oints or for Dounybrook Fair. Men beaten in the abstract feel no bruiBes, while the complacency of men who so beat them is perfectly illimitable. To suppose that a newspaper can be con ducted without provoking the extreme wrath ot somebody, is the acme of absurdity. Fart. and a great part, of the legitimate business of journalism is to give oll'ense to those who are deserving of public censure. When we are all virtuous together this will be different; at present the fact, however mortifying to the prido of human nature, remains fixed. The censor must do his duty, although he may himself be very far from faultless. To the honest public he is responsible for veracity and fair intention; to those he may offend for the caning in the abstract: THE RING AND THE REPUBLICANS. From the N. 1'. World. The most noteworthy thing in the proceed ings at Albany on Wednesday is the fact that the Republicans of the Assembly voted in a body tor the I weed charter. The covert liaison which has long existed between the ring and the Republican party was celebrated yester day us an open marriage. The nuptiuls pro mise a new progeny of corruption. It is a union cemented by "the cohesive power of publio plunder." There has long been a par tition of the city spoils botween the parties to this new arrangement, who have adroily pinyeci into eacn otner s nands, and are so accustomed to act together that the Ilepubli cans find no difficulty in coming to the rescue of the ring, when the ring is pushed to an extremity. The half-and-half Board of Super visors, of which Tweed is the head and the master-spirit, and which has long had the bad eminence of being more notori ously, more reekingly corrupt than any other combination on Manhattan Island, wan the Iruit of a bargain between dishonest De mocrats in this city and dishonest Republi cans at Albany for mutual gain and advantage. This great head of the city sore, where all the most corrupt humors gather and tester, is left untouched by the Tweed charter; aud this is one of the inducements by which the ring has won Republican support. The other corrupt inducements will appear in due time, if this monstrosity of a charter should pass the Senate. Mayor Hall, the creature and tool of the ring, who is to bo kept in office to make all the new appointments, is pledged to appoint Republicans to places in all the new commissions; and it is iu consideration of this pledge, and of leaving the Ring-Re. publican Hoard of Supervisors untouched, that the Republicans of the Legislature have decided to go en iiiutoietor the I weed charter, this is a Democratic city. The Democratio voters outnumber the Republican voters three to one. If this city enjoyed tho same right of self-government which is accorded to all ctuer localities, ltepubiicuns could hold no offices here, and would have no part of the city patronage. It has been a standing topio of compiuini by tno democracy of the city, and a standing topic of invective by the hypo critical ring, that tho Republicans have used their power in the Legislature to foist their partisans into office in a city where no Repub licans could be elected by the votes of the peo ple. When the Democratic party got control of the Legislature.it was expected that this wrong would be redressed. dih wnat do we find t We have seen the ring opposing and defeat ing every wholesome reform which would deprive its members of their dishouext gains; and now, to keep themselves in power, they make a corrupt alliance with the Republicans based on a promise to give them us large a show in the city government as they have possessed under the odious legislative com missions. We are to have as many Republi can officers in the city under the tweed char te', as there were under the system which is about to be displaced in form, while it is re turned in substance. 'We are to have the same number of Republican Supervisors to shure the plunder of new court house and Harlem bridua Sobs: we are to have an inter mixture of Republican Folice Commissioners, Republican ConHuinsioners of the Central Tark under a new name, and so on to the end ot tne long cnapier of city departments Xuia projugave lwgM had peoa con before the inglorious flight of and his skulking adherents on Mon day, and it was in pursuance of this nndor standing that Kennedy's police were poured into and around Tammany Hull on Monday afternoon and evening, to shut out the Tam many Committee from their own building, under a preposterous pretense of keeping the public peace. The doublo-faced Tweed, who had sanctioned, nay called, the meeting, was maURger-in-chief iu this ridiculous stratagem to prevent its being held. Kennedy, his Re publican confederate, sent well on to a thou sand armed policemen to support him in this disgraceful, cowardly manoeuvre; Everything Lad been concocted and arranged betwoon the ring and its Republican allies before the city clock struck twolve on bunday night. Ken nedy had been informed of tho alliance be tween 1 weed and the Republican members of the JjCgislature. Ihis corrupt coalition causes all Kopnbli- cans who have any remaining sonso of de cency to hang their heads with shame, and blush from ear to ear. Atter all tho noisy denunciations of the ring which have re sounded through their journals, year in and year out, since the ring came into power, it is a pretty speectacle indeed to see all thoir members of the Legislature leaping into the water to pull up the drowning ring by the locks, and save its precious, invaluable life! These Republicans are willing to uproot the commissions which are their own work, and have been the theme of their con stant eulogy, because they find that, by this means, they can continue thoir partnership with the Ring, and remain joint Hharers with it of the city plunder. The J'jcemng J 'out remonstrated, Wednesday, against this dis grace; but it preached to the winds. The coalition had been clinched, and the parties to it are deaf to argument. It is all bargain and sale; all hire and salary. The Pout might as well preach to a hungry ass beginning to brouso on the succulent cabbage-plants in a garden, or to a wolf just inserting its fangs in the quivering tlesh of a lamb, as to tho Republicans who have just completed this scandalous bargain with Tweed. GENERAL GRANT, THE SENATE, AND THE DOMINICAN TREATY. From the X. Y. Uerald. The United States Senate, since the pur chase of Alaska (481,000 square miles on the main land and a string of islands which no man can number stretching clean across the Pacific Ocean, and all for $7,200,000 in Cali fornia gold), has become somewhat distrust f ul of any further investments for the present in real estate. The Conscript Authors, in fact, leok upon Alaska, the home of the white bear, as a white elephant, and not knowing what to do with bun they don t want any more elephants, white or black. Hence tho failure of tho St. Thomas treaty, although certain volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, aud tidul waves in that quarter played the mis chief with the King of Denmark. Even Cuba appears to have lost its attractions as the key of the Gulf, and the splendid island of St. Domingo, rich beyond comparison in all the riches of the tropics, goes begging in the Senate, although ollerea lor a song. tieneral (irant has concluded a treaty with the Government concerned for the annoxa tion of the republio of Dominica two-thirds or more of the island of St. Domingo, the republio of liayti holding the remainder, the annexation of .Dominica would be speedily followed by that of Hayti, thus securing us the entire island, the possession ot which would inevitably soon result in tho acquis! tion of all the surrounding islands, beginning with Cuba. Moreover, Senator Morton has shown that in 178!) (when negro slavery was in full blast there) the productions of St, Domingo reached tho enormous figure of one hundred and fifty million dollars per annum, giving employment to seven hundred vessels and twenty-seven thousand seamen facts which sufficiently attest the amazing riches and capacities of the island. In oar posses sion this maximum of one hundred and lit ty millions of products would soon be restored, In ounce and sugar alone the crops of the island within ten years would reduce the cost of coffee throughout the United States to one- third its present price, and sugar to one-half, How and why, then, it it that the Senate op poses this treaty which provides to secure us this island for a bagatelle ( Mr. Sumner, they say, does not want any more metiers, lie has nad enougn. un nis Alabama claims he is looking to the acquis tion of Canada and the white folks up there; but he shrinks from Mexico, Cuba, St. Da miqgo and all those tropical places, because of the niggers and hybrids of all shades and crosses which make up their population. We hud supposed that the fifteenth amendment, establishing perfect equality of colors and races, would give us scope and verge enough to take in everything down to Brazil. But, then, it appears Mr. Sumner has other objec Hons to Dominica, such as the unknown debts of that republic, and upon these, it is said, the Senate is dead against this treaty. Just here, however, we have a touch of the shrewd common sense and far-reaching sa eacity of General Grant. He proposes that the Senate shall suspend action upon the treaty until a competent commission to Do, minica shall have inquired into all these objections, and made a straight and specific contract in dollars and cents. And we can not believe that this fair proposition will be disregarded by the senate. The President s reasons for tne acquisition of the island we hold to be conclusive. In the article of sugar (of which the United States consume seventy-five million dollars' worth) and in conee and other tropical products ot Domingo would largely contribute to turn the General balance of trude in our favor. Then the laws of Cuba aud Porto Rico being against our commerce, the possession of St Domingo is necessary to establish our trade on a proper footing in the est Indies, aud will do it. Again, our country has become so im mense that it needs outposts for military se. curity against hostile European combinations. and nowhere do we need a commanding out post so much as in the Gulf of Mexico. Such are General Grant's views of the importance of this Dominican treaty of annexation; and though obstructed for the present in tho Sen ate, the proposed acquisition on the geuorai argument indicated must prevail. A rillNCE 18 ALSO A MAN. From the HI. Louiu Democrat 'Hie acquittal of Pierre Bonaparte for the slaving ot ictor JSoir will cause ureal excite ment in 1' rauce, no uouoi, but we cannot say that the trial was an unfair one, or that the verdict was unjust. Had any prommeut citizen in this country been so persistently and violently assailed by a newspaper as tne royal family in France has been assailed by the MamcUlake; had tne character of a wife and the virtue of a sister been publicly dragged into the controversy; had vile personal abuse of each and every member of the lamily attacked been continued so long as to cause a natural intensity of indignation towards the parties so conducting a paper; had two of these parties then waited upon a member of the family in question, thonuiolvea armed, to eluded Tweed demand a hostile meeting, it is scarcely con ceivable that hot words and hot doeds would not have followed. Probably there isnot a jury in America which would have found a man guilty of murder for a shot fired under suoli circumstances, and it would make little differ ence whether the family whose assailed honor prompted him to the deed was popular, wealthy, conspicuous iu publio affairs, or insignificant. In this country, at least, the kind of assaults which the coadjutors of Rochefort have been making upon the Em press, the Emperor, and the whole Bonapnrte lamily, would be expected to lead to some thing besides hot words. Without justifying him in the least, then, we are forced to admit that bis acquittal is neither strange, nor would it have been unlikely had the slayor been of other than royal family. It ap peared that tho Trince was noithor a cruel nor a brutal man; that he was kind to his dependants and neighbors; that he was fiery and possionate when his feelings were roused by insult or injustice; that in this caso he had been goaded to the most intense feoling by such insults as have rarely been suffered to appear in any paper claiming to be decent. Had not iiiigonie, J-ioius rsapoloon and Pierre Bonaparte been of the reigning family, not a solitary creature in all France would have listened to such language with any other feeling than indignation and shame. Now public men, and even monarchs, have some private feelings. Beneath the crown there is still a man or a woman, and if the feelings most common to humanity are outraged, perhaps the monarch has the same right to avenge tho wrong that any private citizen would havo. Thoso who clamored for the conviction of Tierre Bonaparte wanted to deny to him an excuse whioh they would have been prompt to claim for themsolves, and had ho not been of the royal family, men would have felt very differently of a shooting so provoked. The sober second thought of the French people, if it ever comes, will condemn for the slaying of Victor Noir not so much the man who fired the fatal shot, as the man whose boundless abuse, indecency, and intempe rance of language have brought both the press and the revolutionary party of Franco lioihefort Blew not into a certain disrepute. only Noir, but others, when his unreasoning behavior brought about a street riot which had in it neither sense nor object. It is a bad sign for Franco that men of that sort are accepted in some sense as leaders and repre sentatives of the people, and it will be long before a people who read with avidity black guardly personal abuse and mistake that for patriotism, will establish any stable and well, adjusted free institutions. "LET THE WAYWARD SISTERS GO IN PEACE." From the Raleigh (.V. C.) Standard. This remark has been attributed to Gene ral Winfield Scott, when his advice whs soli. cited in regard to the proposed secession of the Southern States. But it was determined by the loyal men of the nation that they should not go. And alter a desperate struggle the territory was reclaimed, the true men of the South advised and assisted to restore re publican forms of government. And the aid of all others, with but few exceptions, solicited in tho patriotic enterprise. After a long struggle, with varying fortunes, govern ments were at length erected in the boutheru States, and the Constitutions adopted by large majorities, approved by the representa tives of tho people in Congress assembled, But there was the most bitter hostility evinced against these acts of tho Republican party, and here in the South, from tho riots at Memphis, New Orleans, Mobile, Richmond, and Savannah, down to the present time, the more desperate portion ot those who hate the (ieneral uovernment have signalized that hatred by the perpetra tion oi outrages ot a most flagrant character upon the persons and property of loyal citi zens for the purposes of revengo as well as of intimidation. The story of their deeds in North Carolina is the story of their deeds in other States. And they have but one end in view, the subjection of true men to their will and a repossession of office, place, and power, whence they can embarrass tho Gene ral Government, destroy tho national crodit, glonly the lost cause, reduce the negroes to peonage, and hold their own again with lofty heads despite the results of the war or of future consequences. it has been only eighteen months smoe they moved for the utter annihilation of the Southern State Governments. Foiled in this, they now attempt to cot control of the ma chinery of those Governments, under the fulscst pretenses, and with the coolest effron tery. In their hands the State Governments will be annihilated, destroyed and rebelized, It is the old wolf in the skin of another sheep, which it hos just slaughtered. Shall the wayward sisters go? Will the Congress stand by and see Its work pulled to pieces, in violation of the final terms of the settlement? We believe that it will not, but a strange apathy seems to have fallen upon that body it makes haste to do some things, and leave undone others, while the impending danger thicken, and the whistle of a klau of murderers floats on every breeze under all the night skies of the Southern heavens. We do not wish to use force, but when force is used, it mnst be met with force. We do not wish to retaliate, but we should certainly do so if attacked and maltreated, and hold to re sponsibility a life or a limb as worthy as ours, and as dear to others as these precious gifts are to ourself and to our friends. When this Ku-Klux organization is dis solved and exposed to the infamy which it merits, then the moderate men of the other party will be welcomed into power, if it be their fortune, by generous foes, after a fair contest, in which truth shall be left free to combat error. Then the halcyon days of chivalric difference will be restored; but so long as moderate men, as they call them selves, remain in the same ranks with mur derers and assassins, they cannot hope for either confidence from us or from the General Government. Time and time again they have been put forward as figure-heads, but when in the fulfilment of settled purposes the hour to strike a blow arrived, they were set aside, and the arm of their most extreme and de, structive associates appeared to deal that blow, coming forth as the power from behind the throne, which is more mighty than the throne itself. Let the wayward sisters go. No, gentle. men, they will never co. And though it may seem that the question of the immortal Webster, who exclaimed, "Who shall restore the shattered columns of constitutional lib. ertv ?" vet remains but half answered, still we believe that those columns will be re. stored by the hands of those who love the temple, whose front it is their plaoe to adorn, and in whose halls the consecrated fires of liberty burn upon the altars of our country.
