MK. W. L. GARRISON AND
THE TIE-
OAN WAR.
From th Toledo Made.
We Lave a Ligh respeot for William Lloyd
Garrison. Ho has rendered good norvice in
the long strangle for slavery. He has a cour
age, an energy, nnd a pormntency which in a
good cause made him a formidable and effec
tive champion. But ho has made some er
rors and advocated some egregious absur
dities in his time; some of which, we are glad
to say, he practically abandoned. For a
long time he advocated peace and non-resiat-anoe
principles, but was compelled at last to
support the war for the Union as the sure
way of ending slavery, the destruction of
which was the chief end of his life. He for
a long time denounced the Constitution, and
the Union of States whioh was founded upon
it, as a "league with death, and a covenant
with hell," and declared that the "only possi
ble exodus of the American slaves from
the houRe of bondage" was over the ruins
of the churches and the Government of the
United States. But the historic sequel
shows that slavery found its end in the
maintenance of the Constitution and the per
petuity of the Union, and not through their
destruction. It ended by means of stern,
cruel, bloody war, whioh Garrison and some
of his impracticable associates contended
was as wicked as slavery itself. Garrison was
never weary of quoting O'Connell's declara
tion, that "No human revolution was worth
the shedding of a single drop of human
blood." The words "Agitate! Agitate!!
Agitate ! ! !" were the ram's horns to be em
ployed to overthrow the Jerioho of slavery.
But words, however mighty they seemed
to the Boston reformer, were as empty air
until the engines of war overturned and
demolished the bastile of oppression. Until
the sword was drawn and used, all of Garri
son's wordy denunciations of slavery were
ineffective, and instead of helping the slave,
increased the rigor of his servitude and
multiplied the tortures of his condition.
The slave to-day en 1 ova freedom and en
franchisement through tear, through blood
shed, and through the authority of the Con
stitution, and by means of the permanency of
the Union of the States. Praotically, all the
dootnnes uttered by Garrison have been re.
futed and condemned by the events of time,
Such a lesson should have the effect of
teaching him a very little modesty, to be
exercised when fulminating his thunders of
dsnunciation against more practical men than
himself.
The sword of Sheridan did more, practi
cally, to end slavery than all the theories and
wordy invectives of mere philanthropists
acainst slavery. Philosophers are wall
enough in their time and in their way, but
men of exeoutive and practical turn of mind
can not allow the world to be run down to
perdition in order to allow them to test the
power of their abstraction, bheridan was
sent out West to protect the settlers on the
plains from murder, arson, rape, theft, and
every other crime and outrage committed on
them by the ruthless and conscienceless
savages of the plains. It might have been a
good thing to have sent Lloyd Garrison, but
the people whose lives, persons and property
were in danger were afraid that he might
find it as dimcult to teach the riesana the
philosophy of the Ten Commandments and
the golden rule, as ne touna it in ism to
convince Boston lawyers of the iniquity of the
fugitive slave law. Ihe suHerers from in
dian cruelties could not afford to wait for the
operations of non-resistant doctrines to give
them relief.
Sheridan does not understand Quaker
methods of warfare against evil. Their way
may be the bent, but he would be the wrong
man to bring savages into conformity to
moral and civil law through their methods,
Philanthropists bad the world before them
savage Picgans included, to convert to right
eousness and peace, but have failed to reach
said Piegans so far. in its dire necessity the
Government ordered- Sheridan to protect
peaceable settlers by all the means in his
power, just as it previously told him to crush
the ltebellion. lie has done uis worn, and
done it well. But Lloyd Garrison thinks he
has been cruel and barbarous, and has re
sorted to a "horrible mode of retaliation."
He proceeds to arraign Sheridan as a monster.
We protest against allowing the sentimental
ity of absurdly impracticable men to prej u
dice the Americun people against the men
whose energy and common sense are the pro
tection of the exposed communities of the
West. Sheridan is an executive man one
of deeds, and not of words. Garriaon is ex
actly his opposite, and is therefore not quali
fied to condemn with oracular positiveness
one whose severely direct and practical meth
ods he cau neither understand nor appreciate.
The Piegans Are the murderous land pirates
of the webt. If they are not to bo allowed to
scalp, burn, ravihb, and steal iu endless im
punity, the puuishmout which Sheridan
visited upon them was mercy iu its highest
sense, as well as justice. In dealing with
savages so sunken, devilish-, and hopeless,
stern, decisive, bloody war is the only resort.
Death is the only punishment they can be
made to fear. When it becomes a choice
betweon talcing tho lite of a bloody, savage
pirate, and exposing to death, and a fate often
far worse, far belter people, we say let tho
criminal die. It the innocent suffer with the
guilty we cannot help it, for that is true in
all wars, and will be so as long as wars take
place in tho world.
In the interest of the cause of peace and
humanity, would it not be well for Mr. Gar
rison to demonstrate the power of peace and
non-resistant principles by undertaking a
mission to what is left of the Piegans, and
other marauders of the Plains. If two hun
dred and fifty years of next to fruitless effort
by both Trotestant and Cathoho missionaries
to civilize these savages be not enough to
deter him, seeing that tho destruction of
slavery is complete, should Garrison not call
for volunteers to help him civilize and make
peaceable men out of tho Piegans? Sheridan
will agree not to interpose a single bayonet
between him and tue object of his philan
thropio regard. Ihough they slay and eat
him, Sheridan will stand out of the way. But
until the savage and slaveholder alike agree to
let other men have ail tue rictus wlitoU they
claim for themselves, such sternly executive
men as Phil Sheridan are among the most
necessary and useful philanthropists of the
time and of the world.
THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION.
From the K. Y. bun.
The result of the Connecticut eleotion is
significant and instructive. It was a square,
fair fight, and the Democrats have carried
their Governor and the rest of their State
' ticket by about 1000 majority. Through the
inexcusable delays and general stupidity of
. General Grant s administration the Ilepuwi
csns were unable to sot tho fifteenth amend
ment in operation, and thus obtain negro
otes enough to have turned the aoale. This
unfortunate result was, however, fully coun
terbalanced by the discouragement diffused
through the ranks of the Demooraoy by tho
New Hampshire election. By means of the
labor reform defection in that State, the
Democratic candidate for Governor received
about 7000 less votes than the Republican
candidate. We repeat, thon, that the con
test in Connecticut was a fair trial of strength
between the two parties. Monday was a
stormy day, and the Republicans tell us that
this was the cause of their defeat, lint tue
same heavens that lowered on the Republi
cans frowned on the Democrats; and tue
former cannot escape from the legitimate de
ductions flowing from their overthrow by
dodging behind a snow-storm.
Governor Lnglish was a strong candidate.
lie is rich and respectable. When in Con
gress he supported all the war measures of
President Lincoln, and he yoted for the abo
lition of slavery in the District of Columbia.
And though the convention whioh nominated
him passed a stupid resolution about Cuban
independence, and sharply cntioized tne moae
by which the ratification of the fifteenth
amendment had been secured, Governor Eng
lish, in his carefully-prepared response to the
nomination, took a step in advance of the
convention on the uuban question, ana never
alluded to its foolish utterances about the
amendment. In so doing, he showed his
good sense, and, with a fair war record behind
him, by this sign he conquered.
This is tne nrst real victory wmcn tne
Democrats have achieved since General Grant
assumed the Presidential office. Connecti
cut, though not invariably, has generally
been a Republican State from the time when
the party was organized. But if the Demo
cracy hope, even hope, to carry the next Pre
sidential election, they must not merely win
over Republican States like Connecticut, but
must so use their triumphs as to hold them
by a tenacious grasp. And this ia the task
now committed to the bands of Uovernor Eng
lish. Governor Seymour carried New York
in 18G2, beating so strong a candidate as
General Wadsworth; but he so conducted ,his
administration as to be defeated when pre
sented for re-election in 1804. He allowed
the Copperheads to load him, and the people
seized the first opportunity to pronounce
judgment against him. His defeat for Gov
ernor in 1804 largely contributed to his sig
nal overthrow as a Presidential candidate in
1808. Let Governor English take warning
from the lessons of history; and let him be
assured that if he allows Copperheadism to
thrust out its horns, or hands his State over
to the corruptionists during his brief term,
Connecticut will enter up a verdict against
him in April, 1871; unless, like the great
Tweed, in the recent Tammany contest, he
shows the white feather, and running away
from tha fight, buys up a sufficient number
of his opponents afterwards.
As the average of Presidents now run, Gov
ernor English, if he will follow the advice of
the Sun, and hold his own, and get re-elected
in 1871, will become a formidable Demo
cratic competitor for the Presidential nomina
tion in 1872. Pendleton, Packer, and Hoff
man are already counted out of the canvass.
Governor English's most dangerous rivai, as
the case now stands, is Senator Hendricks.
He made a happy hit in his New Orleans
speech, wherein he counselled the Democracy
to accept all the results of the war and the
policy of reconstruction, including the thir
teenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendment:.
Let English countercheck him in his message
to the Legislature by covering all of Hen
dricks' ground on these subjects, by marking
out a bold policy in regard to Cuba, and by
some sensible utterances on finance, taxa
tion, and economy in national affairs. He
will then prove himself to be a statesman,
and will become the leader of his party in
the Northeastern States.
The defeat of so worthy and popular a man
as Governor Jewell is a severe rebuke to
General Grant's administration. It indicates
a turn in the drift of the tide. The sensible
Republicans should now demand a change of
the Cabinet, and inform General Grant that
unless ho conducts affairs on a more liberal
and enlightened scale, many other Republican
States will follow the example set by Con
necticut. NAMES, CHRISTIAN AND nEATHEN.
From the If. T. Tribune.
Thomas Paine (not Common-Sense Thomas,
but a Massachusetts verse-writer of the olden
time), being disgusted with the doings of the
other and doubting Thomas, petitioned the
Legislature to give him a Christian name; and
he was called and known, and in his time
grew quite famous, as Robert Treat Paine,
Jr. We would suggest some legislation of this
kind in behalf of the Cherokee Indians. Those
semi-aboriginal gentlemen have lately had
occasion to present a couple of numerously
signed petitions to Congress; and the names
thereunto appended show that, in the Chero
kee Nation, the art of baptism is still im
perfectly understood. Some of these "poor
Indians ' have, it is true, very respectable and
civilized and thorouchly Yankee names. "Eze
kiel Tucker," for instance, has a veritable
Yankee flavor; "Looney McLane" is a good
Irish, as "Thomas Carlyle" is a good Scotch
name; "Benjamin Pisk" is eminently sugges
tive of Cape Co1; and there is even a
"Georgo Fox" to welcome the Quaker Com
missioners when they visit the (Jnerokees.
There is an individual who is named and
signs himself simply "Wilson," in honor, we
conjecture, of the Massachusetts Senator;
there is another who names himself, in a sin
gularly indefinite way, as "John;" there is
another who goes further, and writes him
self "John Pigeon;" we find, also, the roman
tically historical name of "Hildebrand;" but
what shall we say to the ornitbologico-zoolo-gical
name of "Pig-Eaglo ?" What man of
taste was it who gave to an innooont savage
the name of "Edgar Poe Harris ?"
But some of the names appended to this
petition are sufficiently mysterious. There is
one cabalistio child of the forest who simply
writes himself "Six" there is another who
vaunts himself as "John Large;" "0. Six
killer" is a most homicidal autograph, highly
suggestive of scalps; and "Ezekiol," we fancy,
must be the prophet of the tribe. There is a
"John Mixedwater," who probably mixes the
water with something Htrouger; there is a
"War Sort," who may be one of the military
sort; and there is a man named with Dorio
simplicity "Dry," and who is probably a kins
man of Mr. Mixedwater. "Ground Hog" is
(suggestive of Charles Lamb's nnfortuuate
farce of "Mr. II." "David Israel" fitly repre
sents the old dispensation; "Rattling Gourd"
ought certainly to be a Member of Congress,
and "Johnson Goodmoney" might give us,
were he in Washington, some valuable no
tions about the currency. There are several
signers named "Grease," connected remotely
perhaps with the Down East family of
"Slicks," and by a singular coincidence a
warrior named "Fodder" and another named
"Grilts" sign in cloBe conjunction, being
speedily followed by "Alexander Johnny
cuke," while, by another coincidence, "John
Love" and "George Moonshine" are in simi
lar contiguity, and not far after Mr. Moon
shine, very appropriately follows "Moses
Glory." The signature of "Best
Quality," to conclude, is sug
gestive of all the perfection of whioh
human, or at any rate Indian nature, is sus
ceptible. It is pretty evident that most of
these names have been bestowed upon their
bearers by unprincipled pale faces, more in
tent upon their jokes than upon the euphony
of the Cherokee direotory. Is it probable
that any Cherokeo would, of his own motion,
call himself "Charles Potatoe?" or "Monse?"
or "Spoon?" or "Root Curly Hard?" or
"High?" or "Hog Shooter?" or "Drum
Fish ?" Would he be any more likely than
other Indiana to christen himself "ililde
brand," "Zaohary Taylor," or "Edgar Poe?"
And how would any white man like to be
designated by his fellow-citizens as "Long
Ears?"
We are pleased to notice, however, that
there are some proud Cherokees who refuse
to be gammoned, and who still call themselves
by the resounding and vernacular names of
their ancestors. Thus we find attached to the
petition sonorous titles worthy to fill the
trumpet of fame: "Tee-Soo-Yar-Kee," and
" Cah-lur-nur-hus-Ku;" " Hee-Lur-tas-Kee,"
and the highly unpronounceable "Cu-lee-skee-jah-nohter."
Perhaps it would not do to
ask for a literal translation of these curious
and polysyllobio names; for "Neve-geo-munan-coo-wa"
may mean nothing more re
spectable and impressive than "Grub Worm,"
which is the English name of one of the
signers. But sound is something, as all who
have read "The Song of Hiawatha" very well
know. To hear a man and a brother called
"Jack Paunch" shocks our benevolent sensi
bilities; but if the abdominal protuberance
were expressed in the Cherokee language, it
would be different and better. If the Chero
kee is to have an English name, there is no
reason for giving one which is mean or
ridiculous.
A TLEA FOR LOWER RATES OF DUTY
ON SILK GOODS.
From the X. 1. World.
It is a mistake to suppose there is anything
new in the contrivances by which the re
cently discovered Custom House silk frauds
of Wolf, May, and others were perpetrated.
Those same contrivance?" have been time and
again resorted to since the era of enormous
rates of protective dutieB on imports. The
trick is this: Under our system ad valorem
duties are assessed on tho foreign, not home
value. This value is determined and re
ported to the collector by the appraisers,
who bear the same legal relation to the
former that assessors do to Collectors of In
ternal Revenue. To provide for suoh de
termination and report of value, the import
must, by order of collector, be sent from
importing vessel to tho appraisers' stores.
The law provides that an entry must be
made, and lodged with the collector,
by the owner of the merchandise, accom
panied by the invoice, of which latter
the former is in chief part a transcript. To
secure a correct entry, the 07th section of
the statute of 1799 punishes with confiscation
of the goods, if, on examination of the pack
ages, it is found they differ in their contents
from the entry paper; that is, if the merchan
dise is entered by a false denomination. If an
importer in his entry paper calls silk hose
cotton hose, with intent to save duty thereon,
the lav confiscates the package. An importer
enters fifty cases of cotton hose, and desig
nates them in his entry paper by their vari
ous shipping marks, from 1 to CO, and de
clares the foreign value thereof, the rate of
duty chargeable thereon, and the total amount.
To obviate the necessity of sending each case
to the appraisers, the law has provided that
at least one caso in ten shall be desig
nated by the collector, on the invoice, te be
sent to the appraisers, and the result in
practice is that till recently the collector has
rarely designated more than one in ten to be
opened and examined. In fact, in this port
it is impracticable to inspect a greater pro
portion, as a general rule. When the de
signation is thus made, those packages indi
cated are sent from the vessel to the ap
praisers, and the remainder go into ware
house, or are taken by the importer, under
his penal bond and a deposit of estimated
duties. Now, right here comes in the trick.
Of the fifty cases, five would, under the
rule, be opened by the appraisers. Suppose,
then, that the fifty packages, instead of
being all cotton hose, paying say thirty-five
per cent, duty, as entered, are thirty of
them silk hose, chargeable with sixty per
centum, and the ten containing cotton go
to the appraisers. Of course, silk hose are
thereby imported as cotton hose, and the
importer does a "big thing.
In the ordinary course of business the col
lector might, by pure luck, designate ths
cotton packages, or he might indicate half
and half. That is possible. But in the pre
sent assumed frauds the broker swears that
he asked the deputy collector to call for an
appraiser's return on cortain specified cases,
and sometimes it was done and sometimes
not ?one, and when not done the broker
would take the papers to deliver to the next
official in routine, but, instead of so deliver
ing, would destroy them, await or make
another invoice, and then try again till the
desired cases were designated. There is no
pretense or any evidence in the present cases
that the deputy collector was bribed or paid,
but thut the broker by falsely representing
that since there were difforent grades of cot
ton goods, for example, on the invoice, the
indicated packages should be sent to the
appraisers in order to have a fair examination
of the whole importation.
Since the first development of this trans
action tho collector has, we learn, ordered
his deputies to send all the packages to the
appraisers, whenever the person making
entry indicates which of them he desires to
be opened.
The point of this last exposure is the use
lessneBS and immorality of existing rates of
duty; uselessness, because frauds, impossi
ble of prevention, as was blockade-breaking
during the Kebellion, maue nigu rates pro
ductive of less revenue than would be low
rates, which would not offer such temptations
to smugglers and cheats generally; and im
morality, because the present tariff by its
temptations to dishonesty is demoralizing
importers, Custom House ofUeialH, manufao
turers, Congress, and consumers alike.
The present rate of duty on a staple article
like black piece silks is sixty per centum in
gold, and whut is the consequence? Ask any
honest dealer in this city, aud he will say that
he cannot and does not purchase abroad and
import, for the reason that he can buy cheaper
here. This is a universal fact. Blaok piece
silks are salable everywhere. Thoyare as mar
ketable as gold. Hence, on aooount of the
high rates of duty, they come in illegitimately
across the Texas border, through the South
ern ports, over the Canada border, as well as
under the eyes and nose of Collector Grin
nell. There are a plenty of men of pecuniary
responsibility who will contract to deliver
them on the counter of a New York dealer
for a percentage far below the rates, of duty
thereon. So It is with most of staple artiolei
of great value on which tho high protective
ratps of duty are imposed.
Moral Abandon forever existing rates of
duty.
POOR IRELAND !
Prom the S. T. Time.
The more we consider Mr. Gladstone's bill
for "preserving the peace" in Ireland, the
deeper becomes our conviction tnat it is a
mensnre which cannot fail to aggravate the
sufferings of the Irish people, and to render
the ancient differences between England and
Ireland perfectly hopeless of adjustment.
The Irish people may well say, "If this ia
what we are to get from a liberal govern
ment, the sooner ae fall under the compara
tively gentle rule of the Tories the better."
Let us look into one or two of the provisions,
as expounded by the rail Mall Gazette
which heartily approves of the bill and
only grumbles because it was not introduced
before.
Resident magistrates and county inspectors
are to have warrants placed in their hands
authorizing them to search any man's house
for arms at all hours of the day or night. If
A has a grudge against B, he has only to give
the nearest magistrate a hint that the said B
has arms in his possession, or that he has
written a threatening lotter. B's premises
may then be ransacked, and if a pistol is
found, or a scrap of writing which seems to
connect him with threatening letters, he may
be sent to prison and kept to hard labor for
two years, in tne time of the h rench Revo
lution, when any man who was declared "sus
pect" was torn away from his family and sent
to prison, greater wrongs were not possible
than under the system of espionage thus esta
blished by Air. uiaostone.
If a man is found walking out of doors after
dark in proclaimed districts he may be ar
rested. "If he can show no lawful purpose
or excuse in being abroad at night he may be
imprisoned for six months." Thus if a man
went out to smoke a pipe with his neighbor
he might expiate tne crime by six months
imprisonment.
Inns may be closed at sunset by the police,
and "suspicious strangers lodged in jail
People had better be careful how they go
travelling in Ireland for some time to come,
Newspapers which give offense to the Govern
ment are not to be prosecuted according to
the ordinary forms of law, but the police are
empowered to walk into the office, seize the
type and machinery, turn out the editors, and
lock the premises up. No such despotio mea
sure has been attempted in any "free coun
try for many a long day.
If a witness is summoned before a magis.
trate, and cannot or will not give evidence,
he may be summarily committed to prison
for six months. Why not revive the peine
Jort et dure at once i It would have been
quite worthy of the general character of this
bill. Persons accused under most of the
provisions of the act will have no right to
demand a trial by jury, but may bo sent to
jail by the justices off-hand.
There were always plenty of "sneaking
spies" in Ireland who were only too ready to
turn round and "inform" upon any one
against whom they had a spite. Henceforth
this class will have their hands quite full.
As blood-money is to be paid to the informer
the game will be lucrative in itself, and afford
the opportunity for wreaking private malice,
Thus, once more is Ireland to be handed over
to base-hearted smos and relentless nolice.
Men are to be brought up for a hurried trial.
and deprived of their liberty under the influ
ence of panic or a desire to "please the Goy
ernment." What can we look for but sorrow
and disaster from a law which sanctions all
these cruel outrages? Mr. Gladstone has
made a false step which ought to result in his
ruin, as it will assuredly leave an everlasting
stain upon cis reputation.
