Editorial Opinions of tho Leading Journals upon Current Topics Ooflpiled Every Day for tho Evoning Telegraph QUANT'S POLITICAL STHATEGY. t'rrm the S. 1'. World. There Is much spo ulatlon here as to the Presi dent's motive In postponing the appolutmnnt of a Commissioner ef Internal Revenue In the plasoof Mr. Delano. It wan generally supposed that this ofllce would be filled before tho meeting of Con gress, In order to avoid the pressure which the frlomti of rival candidates will doutiMess thin bring to bear on General Grant, It Is hinted Hint the Pre sident may possibly Intend to reoniruend again tho conversion of the luternal Revenue Bureau into a department, by comMtilog with it tho Customs or some other bureau of the Treasury Department, and to placo at Its nead some prominent man of tne lie publican party. Secretary Boutwell would probably oppose such a measure, and would ba strongly sup ported In Congress. Wax hing ton deipatch to the Tri bune. Sinoo General Grant has surrendered to the men "inside politics" and the virtuous Simon Cameron has beoonie the President's keeper, matters are managed with a sharp eye to Grant's renomination. He fears Bout well as a rival, but don't exactly see how ha can get rid of him. Bout well is the sole prop and pillar of the little popularity whiok still remains to the administration. The Treasury Department is the pivot of all the praises which the Republican stump speakers and party preRS bestowed on the adminis tration during tho late political canvass for members of Congress and Slate officers. The oolleotiou of the taxes, the reduotion of the publio debt, were dwelt npon as the great re deeming traits of an administration in other respects weak and indefensible. But these eulogies belong to the Secretary of the Trea sury rather than the President. Boutwell is known to be ambitious; he would gladly run for the Presidency; and Grant, though full of jealousy, dares not remove him. Aided by the dexterous advice of Cameron, he is there fore soheming to flank an obstacle, which he cannot attack in front. The plan is to clip E out well's wings by divesting him of his patronage as Secretary of the Treasury. The machinery by which the revenue is collected is very wide and ex tensive in comparison with that by which it is disbursed. The President's projeot to create a Department of Revenue with a new Cabinet officer at its head is the joint off spring of Grant's jealousy and Cameron's adroitness. It would strip Boutwell of all his effective patronage. All the officer for collecting both the internal and the oustoms revenue are subor dinates of the Secretary of tho Treasury, and subject to his direction. They exoeed in number every other class of officers except the postmasters; and in influence thoy over top all the other offioers together. In the late Republican canvass in this State, for example, everybody looked to Colleotor Murphy as the "head centre" of political movements, while scarcely a thought was be stowed on Postmaster Jones. The revenue service is the most powerf id branch of ad ministration; and aa Grant has no pretext for removing Boutwell, he and his advisers have concocted a scheme for neutralizing his influ ence by transferring his patronage to a new officer, less independent of the President. The fact that the Iribtme ia the vehiole for exposing and reprobating this scheme is significant, as showing that General Grant's slaughter of Mr. Greeley has alienated the most powerful organ of the Republican party. The vast army of subordinates in all the custom-houses are appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury. To be sure, they are named by the collectors, but they cannot be ap- Sointed without the approval of the Secretary, r. Boutwell, therefore, aa the laws now stand, can prevent the appointment of any subordinate revenue officer who is not committed to his interest. .Grant is unwilling that this formidable power should rest in the hands of a suspected rival; and so he postpones filling the vaoant office of Commissioner of Internal Revenue, in the hope that (Jongress may be persuaded to erect a new department, ana create a new Cabinet officer, transferring to him all the funotfons which give political influence to the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Bout well would thereby be dwarfed to a mere oustodian of the publio funds and a dis fcursmg officer to make payments. He would also retain power to manipulate that financial langhing-stock, his abortive funding scheme. and to advertise, as at present, sales of gold and purchases of bonds. But his effective politioal patronage would be made over to the new member of the Cabinet, the head of the new Department of Revenue. The pro. posed officer would be selected by General Grant, who would take good care that he sheuld neither have Presidential aspirations or nis own, nor lavor loose of any rival. The fact that such a schema to supplant Boutwell is planned by General Grant evinces his misgivings and his consciousness of politioal weakness. He has expended the great stock of military popularity with which he came out of the war and to which he owed bis nomination. Were it not for the patron age ot nis omce, ne would be a politioal bank. rupt. The insignificance of the President was truthfully depicted by General Butler in his recent conversation published in the Inbune, as followB: The Republican party, hs aald, li not now united upon a single qutstion of publio policy. Upoa the tariff question It Is split in two by the backbonsof the Alleguanles. Upon all financial issues tba divl aion la almost as marked.

'1 Here wan never before au ax ministration possessing so nine innueuce with a Congress of lu own party. The sole reliance of this discredited Presi dent for a renomination is upon the Federal natronace. and UDon the tactics of veteran knaves and wire-pullers "inside polkics," like his new "guide, philosopher, and friend," Simon Cameras, with whom lie Bealed an alliance in the famous trout-fishing excursion in the Pennsylvania mountains last summer. The Tribune is no doubt correo t ia its prophecy that the scheme for stripping Bout well will be frowned down by Congress. Not that the Republicans feel any interest in curbing Bout well's hopes; but they have dis covered that Grant is an incubus npon the paity, and many of them would be glad to fch&ke him off. Ilia renomination will not be accepted as a necessity, aa Linct-ln's was dur ing the war. Already most of the talent aud hraiss of the party give him sinister looks. Sunuier, Butler, Teuton, Greeley, Trumbull, b'chur, Cox, Motley, and Brown, among the publio men of the party; and the Now York Jiif'iaif, the Evening 1'ont, the Chicago 7W lune, the Cincinnati (Commercial, aud the Mis souri J'tmocrot (the five principal Republican journals in the United States), weuld regard his renomination as a party misfortune. With so many element of disaffection, the federal patronage cannot help him much, as there are a dozen republicans wno want omce lor rvtry one that has it. When the time comes for the nomination, the "expiring sands" of Grant's control-of the patronage will have "nearly run eut, and the offise-seekers, as the more numerous body, will have more influence than the offioe-holders. A strong and popular administration nould subdue them into silence and submission, but undsr an insolvent 1 resident like urant tney will receive too mnoh encouragement from party leaders, and have too much influence with the people, to be easily put down. Tho next year will be spent in intrigues by Grant to secure his renomination. and counter-intrigues by the foes in his own party household to foil him. NO IIAStt! From tr-e Ar. T. Tribune. There are many of onr countrymen who sincerely believe in free trade, an do many others in protection; while there is a large class who, not having yet studied the ques tion, have no decidod opinion upon it not to speak of politicians by trade who are ready to profess or support any doctrine that seems likely to favor their personal aspirations. We entreat earnest free traders and earnest pro tectionists to unite in demanding that the issue between their respective doctrines shall be made so broad and clear that the ili-ia- formed and heedless shall be compelled to ttcdy the subject and take one side or the other, while the politicians by trade shall, in the decision of this question, be reduced to their proper insignificance. If a great practical issue, aflecting the well-being of our country and her people, cannot be decided just right, we prefer that it be decided exactly the other way. A mud dled, half-and-half decision may stand for years; while one that was wholly wrong would be speedily and surely reversed. We have so profound a conviction of the beneficence and necessity of protection that we are entirely willing to see a fair trial made of thorough free trade; for we are sure that the country would not, because it could not. endure it. 1 wo years or complete, genuine free trade would secure us against a repeti tion of the mistake for at least a generation Among the hard things so freely said of us protectionists by our adversaries, we have never yet known them to assert that we failed to make a protective tariff when we had an opportunity. "We never plead popular igno ranee or prejudice as our excuse for aoting in but half-hearted accordance with onr prin ciples, and never plead for time to accustom the people gradually to their oporation. In our view the present time is always the right time to adopt protection if it nas been dis carded and maintain it if it has not. And we are never aware of any pledges, or commit tals, or peculiar circumstances, that render partial or total free trade the right thing for to-aay, tnougn perhaps not for to-morrow. We have now a protective tariff. True, the duties imposed by it on most staples pig iron, coal, salt, sugar, wool, paper, etc are lower than the duties levied bv the Calhoun- ijowndes tariff of 181(, which were imposed lor revenue, witn but slight regard to proteo tion. we think tne present Congress erred in reducing many rates of dutv. esDeciallv those on pig iron and sugar. Still, we are content with the tariff as it is. as a whole willing to abide by it as better than anything likely to be substituted for it. Should it be overthrown, we trust it will give place to one founded on the opposite principle and in per fect consistency with the doctrine of free trade. Then the people, ha vine niven each principle a fair trial, will be enabled to judge intelligently between them. 'Xne one great mistake of Mr. Clay a career was the Tariff Compromise of 18:$:!. Had he then said, "The country has just reohosen General Jackson its President. His party has a decided majority in either House. Let that majority frame and pass just such a tariff as it deems best; and, if it does not work well, the country knows how to get rid of it we should, in the election of lS.'ifi, have pre cluded years of disaster and suffering. By his compromise our manufacturing and mining interests purchased a transient reprieve, at a heavy cost to the country and themselves. We trust that mistake may never be repeated. The World, indeed, says: 'Seeirg that protection was in dancer. Mr. Olav aoted like a prudent navigator in a storm, and threw over a part of the cargo to save tke ship." It seems to us that ho threw over the ship. and only saved a part of the cargo for a little wniie. The World adds; By that bill, the tariff was brought down to the revenue standard by a series of successive reduc tions, extending ovfer nlns years." Yes; and when we, at the end of nine years, bad got down to "the revenue stand ard, we bad neither revenue nor credit, and had to go back to protection to reclaim them. Wny not state that i 'lne World now talks of not being "willing to bring sudden ruin on any great interest." If there be any "great interest" anxious to be ruined a little more deliberately, let it apply at the World office. But we have heard enough of this kind of mercy. We ask the free-traders to submit to the next Congress a tariff bill which aooords exactly and in all respects with their principles and convic tions; and, if the trimmers and twaddlers, who believe in nothing but the offices they hold or are trying to seeure, undertake to supplant this by one that is "neither fish, flesh, nor J good red herring," we are quite confident that they will be defeated. "Does protection protect?" asks one of the least scrupulous manipulators of facts and figures for the Free-trade League. Protec tionists think that question answers itself. We beg to propose as next in order "Do free-traders want free trade?" If they do, let them act and vote accordingly. They certainly will nat secure what they want by going instead lor sometmng else. THE "REVENUE REFORMERS" RISE OF A GREAT PART. From tht T. r. titraAi. There was something more fthan a dinner in the meeting of the free-traders at Del monico's on Monday evening. Mr. Bryant represented the old free-trade Democratic party, and was probably impatient at the limitations imposed upon him by the younger followers, who strain at free-trade pure and Eiinpie but yearn ior wnat they call "reve line reform. ith Mr. Bryant free-trade is what the doctors would call a specific or a sure medicine. He has been debating its virtues, its restorative and health giving qualities for fifty years, and now stands like Mtises when be looked npon the promised land which ke was to see while others would occupy. The young men from the Wet are the true leaders. As Scott and Wool aud Harney were crowded to one Bide by sturdier and more active generals like Grant and Sher man and Sheridan in our civil war, so younger men, likeWhite and Grosvenor, have taken the place of Bryant and Marshall. The first point we see in this new aa 1 grave discussion is tne absence of any re cruits in the army of protection. Mr. White quaintly and truly expressed this weakness when be professed nis ignorance or any knowledge of Mr. Greeley's trinity of pro tective deities Forward and Mallory and Snyder. When a cause must needs find its representatives in men dead and burled a half century ago it is weak indeed. The trouble with Mr. Greeley is that, as a politi cian, he too frequently lives in the era of 1820. lie became a protectionist when a boy up in one of the Whig oonnties of a Yankee State, and he has never ohanged his mind, as, indeed, he has never changed his mind on any question. Failing to win new followers, nothing is left to the protec tionists but to invoke dead memories and rake up the objects of adoration in the bones and ashes of the past. Who cares for Simon Snider now ? The old Pennsylvania Gover nor has gone to peace, and is probably by this time an oxydized iron formation in soma iron county of the Keystone State. Who cares for Henry Clay ? We might as well seriously quote his opinions ou internal im provements, the war with Greece, or the re moval of the bank deposits, as to regird him with patience on a question like revenue re form. These men are the remnants of a palaeozoic age, and we may say of them, as Coleridge of the good knight: Their swords are rnst, Their bodies are dust, And their souls are now with Christ, we trust. In the famous comedy of Itip Van Wlnlde the old man, with rheuaiatio joints and white flowing hair, and trembling limbs and rheumy eyes, stalks down among the villagers and seeks some familiar face. "Does anybody here know Dick Vedder or Jacob Stein ?" "Why, they are dead twenty years." And he goes on to ask, if they are dead who is he and why is he alive ? This is very much the position of Mr. Greeley as he wanders through the Tribune from day to day asking if any body has heard of Forward and Mallory and Snyder. The men and the times have changed. We have a new Noith and a new South. The business interests of the Northern States flood new channels. The South is ia the hands of a new people. In other days the industrial people of the South had no interest in the de velopment of the country. They were bought and sold at so much a head. They were simply so much property, like so many oxen or horses or sheep. With them life was only hog and hominy and molasses. Whether trade was poor or thriving, whether crops were full or barren, whether there were rail roads or canals or industries, was of no value. But now they live and think. The negro has an interost in every ounce of tea, every pound of sugar and tobacco. It re presents his own industry, and he must guard and hoard it if he would prosper. To the South, therefore, questions of taxa tion and impost and revenue are vital and immediate. In the Webt the people need cheap iron, lumber and coal. Next to salt and air iron is of more necessity to modern civilization, to the comfort and happiness of mankind, than any substance known in science. The price of iron affects us as much as the price of wheat or corn. Cheap iron means cheapness, in transportation, in household furniture, in agriculture. Every new country needs cheap iron. One railway in Indiana and Kansas is of more value to the country a larger con tribution to its wealth and prosperity than twenty iron mills in Pennsylvania. So a tax npon pig-iron, while aiding a few iron- masters, is virtually a tax upon every bushel of wheat upon the labor of every farmer in tne west, ine argument tnat tne labor oi the men who make the iron is protected that without protecton the mill would stop and they starve is absurd; for if they cannot puddle iron ore at small wages in unnealtny mills, they have only to go into the cheap Western counties and till the ground. For this reason the revenue reformers, in de manding cheap iron, strike a chord to whioh the Western Territories and States will respond. Another strong point in this new platform is the removal of the tax npon wool and lumber and coal. Why should wool be taxed ? This article enters into the economy of our daily existence bo absolutely that every penny put upon it is a tax npon every laboring man who wears a woollen coat, or who buys his wife a woollen dress. Is it not of more importance that the millions of poor laboring men should have cheap clothing than that we should have large herds ofsheep, especially as in the pro gress of national growth, agriculture will pro tect its own sheep growth? The tax upon lumber is virtually an embargo upan our ship ping and a hindrance to the social develop inent of our new civilization. Lumber is scant enough in many parts of America. If a farmer builds a house at the base ef the Rocky Mountains, he must bring his lumber from Chicago, la that item alone transpor tation is a grievous tax, aad when to this we add a protective impost we put upon the farmer a heavy burden. A me rica wants cheap lumber for the sea, just as she wants cheap iron for the land, Onr shipping is dead, from the sheer inability of our capitalists to build ships ia competition with the builders on tke Clyde. While conoeding these salutary reforms these revenue reformers halt. Now, true revenue reform should go deeper into this question of removing taxes. We look in vain through the speeches of the eloquent speakers at Delmonico's to find any sugges tion for the removal of taxation from tea and sugar and coffee. We are asked to look at the English tariff as an ideal tariff. Well, the English tariff, we believe, is levied upon nine articles spirits and wine, tea and coffte, sugar and tobaooo, currants, raisins, and chicory. Of these articles, tea, coffee, and sugar pay thirty millions annually, or more than one-third of the whole revenue. Now, if the revenue reformers mean to popularize their cause, if they mean to -take hold of the people, let them add to their platform what the humblest and poorest can understand, and remove tax ation from articles which are necessaries of life. The true theoiy of all taxation ia te put the burdens upon the shoulders that can bear them. John Bright recently called upon England to give her labeling men a breakfast table." He proposed to do it by abolishing the impost npon the tea, coffee, and sugar whioh form a part of the breakfast of the poorest. This is true, high demooratio ground. Our friends must not be content with free iron, lumber, wool, and coal. A tax upon these does not begin to fall npoa the workingman as heavily as one cent a pound upon tea or coffee or sugar, and the true reform ia that whioh makes the necessities of life as cheap as possible. Still, witL! all its faults and oondities, this is a great party, with many noble possibilities and a splendid work before it. Nor must our politicians overlook its importance, nor the necessity of conceding to the West and the South what they will surely demand. We do not think that there is enough in the strength of the party to embarrass the polit cal canvass of 1872. That will be fought urcu clean and square political lines. The revenue reformers in both parties will, as a body, prefer to remain with their organi sations than to risk defeat by secession in a Presidential year. The issues will grow clearer by discussion and argument, the true principles will be found, the people will know what they really want and what they oan really obtain, and by 1876 the oaus will be ripe enough for trial and decision by the people at their supreme Ligh court of a Pre sidential canvass. ALABAMA REDEEMED. Frnm t Montgomery Advertiirr. It is first with feelings of profopnd grati tude to a wise Providence, and next with a sentiment of sincere admiration for the dauntless courage aud enduring fortitude of of our people through years of defeat and de pression, that we tender thein onr warmest congratulations on tho triumph they have achieved in this State. It was their ciusa aud it is thtir viotory. The struggle whioh has just cloEed in the success of ttie Democratic Conservative party should not bo compired Viith ordinary political contests, actually in volving, as it has done, considerations vital to the constitution of society itself, to law, to liberty, and to religion. The supremely wicked effort of tho radio l Congress to practically denationalize the native white population of the South has been defeated in Alabama; and this was the intense and absorbing issue determined in our favor by the recent election. On yester day tho people ruling AKbama were the vioa rious representatives of a radical caucus at Washington; a tew creation fashioned by the hands of Congress within thepast four years, and imposed on the State for purposes alien to her honor and truo interests, and by which it was designed to substitute the old population, first in a political afterwards in a material sense by a radical brood of mixed and inferior charaoter. To-day the native white race have recovered their inheritance; once again have a right to the possession of their Govern ment; once ogain are clothed with tho power to make and administer the laws; once agiin are the real masters of the soil they cultivate; and once again stand in their corporate per sonality freed from all badges of inferiority resting upon them, and the equal and peer of any other people in the whole country. They are no longer to ba governed they are once more to govern. They will no lnger visit their (Jupitol as strangers in a stranqe land, but will go there to enter its Execu tive and Legislative Chambers, the legitimate owners of the seats of authority, and to shepo the policy of tho State. The men whom the radic.il party leaders have sj mercilessly and vindictively sought to make the slaves of their dnorganiamg and degrad ing power have permanently emanoipatad themselves. For this we return our grateful thanks to God, and for this we desire to ex press our sinoere respect for the resolution, trusting patience, and sustained devotion of our countrymen. We learn from the accomplished olhoor in command of the l ederal troops in the State, General Crawford, that in the whole course of his experience ho has never known a more peaceful election. There was not a single instance of violence, so far as is known to us, in any part of the commonwealth. As a matter of course, tnere were many fraudu lent votes cast, but the Democrats Buffered these to pass rather than to provoko or ex cuse the employment of force or to afford an opportunity for disorders around the polls. The result in onr peculiar situation has vindi cated their wisdom in this particular, but it must not bo supposed that such forbearance will everegnin be exhibited. In the presence of our grand triumph we have not one vindictive or proscriptive thought. While the contest was in progress and the event of our deliverance doubtful; wLile the right of our friends and fellow citizens and the honor and life of Alabama hung suspended upon tho issue, we felt our blood boiling in our veins with fierce and passionate emotions; but we hope that w feel as tne great body or our citizens now fee, too manly and maguanimous to be in fluenced by any mean and paltry passions. The duties and obligation of government are a high and holy trust confided to our keeping for the welfare of the Commonwealth, and it is not the oppression or punishment of any, but the good of all, to which it becomes us in "our high qualities as a race of Southern men to look. We will purge the Government of foreign and impure elements, but there t-hall be law and peace and tolerance in Ala bama. To those colored citizens who voted the Democratic ticket in the midst of the almost irresistible pressure brought to bear upon them to divert them from the protective alliance of their old friends and guardians, we wish to give the assurance that not only their rights and best interests, but those of their race, without exception, will be scrupu lously respected by the Democratic and con servative party. It is the genius of Demo cracy to be liberal and generous, while always at the same time rational and just. In oonclubion, it is a source of natural pride and gratification to us that the seeds which were sown nearly three years ago at the Exchange Hotel Conference in this city have borne their fruitful and noble harvest. In the dark and perilous days when that patriotic as.emblage was debating the line of polioy which has since constituted the basis of Democratic organization in the State, the Advertiser raised tiie flag of the National De mocracy, since covering that organiza tion, aad which now waves over our triumphant party in Alabama. It is the same flag that floats over the National Democracy in all parts of the United States, and whose folds gleam with the light of vic tory lately achieved in New York, Pennsyl vania, and Indiama, and which k destined two years hence to stream in its starry splen dors from the dome of the Capitol at Wash ington. The work that we then sketched in our hopes, and have sinoe sought so persist ently to ascomplibb, is bow consummated. To onr comrades (except three who have maiked themselves with the curse of apos tacy) in the prosecution of that work all praise is due. Some like 'the wise and faith ful Fitzpatrick, have gone to their honored rest. Others still live to eajoy, as we hope, all the honors of politioal elevation in the future, and all the blessings of worldly proa, perity. They have labored long and un selfishly in a cause oftentimes shadowed with gloom and despair, and they deserve their reward. Fini corona opus. SPEOIAL.
