Editorial Opinions of th Leading Journal upon Current Topics Jo.-Tipiled Every DayforthA Evening Telegraph THE lJKVKNUE kl:fo::m iNiituuE. From thr A. Y. Hratu We have reports from Was'iiugtoa tint tha Democrats and revenue reform Karmbiicaus are dallying and consulting, with a view of taking possession ot the next Ho we of Repre sent Ativan. There is a small knot of North western .Republican, coiupicuus among them Jlr. AlliHon, ofjowii, .S-juatora Carpauter and Trumbull, auJ a scattering company from the upper wheat-gro ing countries, who claim that the agriouliur.il interests of the West demand greater consideration than ''the small tuiuority of mauuta,,uirers in Penn sylvania and New Hnglvwl who have hereto fore controlled the tmiiiV These geutle nion, it is said, now prop so to tiuitu wi'U the Democrats, oleet a rovetiuo reform Speaker, and make "revenue reform" com mittees. The immediate objection to this is, that it is toot a political measure, but au iatrigaa. The Democrats may contract, but caa they deliver? There ur many Democrats who believe ia protection as tb.irolijb.ly as Sir. Greeley. Mr. James Drooks, for instance, can scarcely bo trusted on this issue, for tho old leaven of Whigisni imy begin to work at anv time. Ponusvlvania Deinornta will hivn a frail sympathy with any cause that will lose them votes in the iron and coal districts; for vour Democratic Doliticiau will as soon mnVn pig iron a hobby if he can ride it iuto power .. 1 1 . . ..il: nT . .T i i , n.i n xieiuuiicnu. we uo not see uowic is pos sible to divide at present on this issue without uotn putties resolving into ciiaos. The mi". gestion is not based upon a principle, but an expedient. Mr. Schurz and Gratz Brown may have abundant and eloquent reasons for such an alliance. Hat their eloquence is that of the fox who having lost his own tail proposed a general shearing of tails among the community of foxes. How ever dear revenue reform may be to Allison and Garfield and Trumbull, dear also is Pre sidential pationnge the widely open door of the mansion, tho bright, welcoming fire, ana a gracious President willing to give and re ward. All of these comforts Cail Sohurz has lost, and he moans over it. Ulysses, he cri33 aloud, will see the Quakers, bat not the Sena tor; although, "accodiug to usage," what ever that may bo, a Senator has the prece dence of all the Quaker in the had. Mr. Hchurz will find it uu uneasy task to coax the revenue reformers into his cold seclusion, tho inner chambers barred aud no faco visi ble in the White House but tho implacible face of General Dent. These Republican re venue reformers like olliee, if they do hate protected pig-iron, and doat on patronago as violently as they cherish free wool and un taxed copper. So we may dismiss this rovenua reform in trigue t-o far as it affects the organization of the next House. The advice we give to its leadors is to tarry in Jericho uatil their beards are grown. A erase like what they champion cannot be won in a day, aor should it be perilled by being dragged into tho lobbies of a political canous. For, as we have said, t'aere is much in revenue reform much that is wisa and timely. But it requires drilling, disci pline, education of the people, and more ex tended system of proselytism. The Southern States are lipe for such an issue. Teach Cuf fee and Sambo that he is taxed oa hissuir and coffee and tobaooo; that he pays the U jv crnment, as well as his baker and grocer, for every breakfast he eats, while iron-masters and growers of wool are protected into the realization of immense fortunes, and there will be a revolution in the untutored miad which no Republicans can chock. The negro owes the Republicans gratitude a slender and short-lived virtue. Let the Democrats o!fer him a cheaper breakfast aud tho work will ba done. It is with President Grant to check this uneasiness in his party for uneasiness it is. and bodes him no good. As the Ucrulii showed the other day, tho power of the Demo cracy was with Tammany; that New York was now the real Keystone State; that Then de feat came upon the raw and wild Damooratio battalions of the "red hot" copperhead States the Democracy of New York, under its su perb leadership, stood like the Imperial Guard of the great Napoleon aad disdained the very idea of defeat or retreat. And around the Imperial Guard a ner army is forming, with younger and better officers and with the inspiration of new tactics in politi cal war. "We pointed to the South for the opening of the campaign, and behold from the South we hear the nrst gun. An Atlanta paper has taken down the name of Grant and run up that of Hoffman for Presidentin ls72. The Tribune informs us that the editor has just left New York, whore he was diligently seen by the Tammany leaders, and intimates that ho took with him the most substantial and unanswerable reasons for his conversion. "Whether true or not, it shovvs that Tammany moans to hold the South, to possess its avenues of opinion aud influence, to make votes in every directioa in States whioh are Republican from exceptionaljiuflu ences and by the frailest tenure. We have seen Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Virginia, and North Carolina drift back to the Democracy, mainly, we must alroit, under the propulsion and influence of Mr. Greeley, and General Grant is sure of noae of them except South Carolina, and even South Carolina by a military occupation. Tammany means to take and hold thaui all to take them with money. She has baaten the administration in New York, the State where the administration uecessarily bs its greatest strength, after a fierce, open fight beaten it, with its army and navy combined. Now bhe goes into other regions, aad already there are signs of conquest. With the Northwest uneasy and mutinous, the South slippiBg from Republican control, New York anchored to Democracy, Indiana Democratic, Pennsylvania jst held by the negro vote, in the North all sorts of mutter ings from good people, who fear that we have not enough of civil servieo and political re forms and the promised works of righteous cess; with an uncertain and feeble Treasury policy; with Cuba grievances aud Irish long ings lor an English war; with a Cabinet whose members, exoepting Mr. Fish, are only Bo many decimal ciphers on the diminishing side of the Presidential unit, what must the President do to hold his power ? He cannot drift into re-election, for he is confronted by too many elements of antagonism and dan ger. We all feel that the re-eleotion of Grant would be a wise thing, and our words, if words of criticism, must be taken as the counsels of a friend aad wejl wisher, the Republicans mu&t take Graut or nobody. If they cannot elect him they oaa elect uo one else. It is not the nomination that is in danger, but the re-election. To be nominated and defeated would thr. ,y a cloud over Grant's illustrious fame that would rest upon it for nil time. He is the third great general elected to the Presidency. Washing- ion ana daemon wero re-elected, and to lUstlfv LlS claim to the honor nf thnir Pan theon be must have the approval of the people upon ins aanuiiisirnnon. Bat, as we Lave said, he oanaot drift into 1S72 and have any hope of triumph. He must command and electrify and fuse the countiy, as Jackson did when lie ma la his war upon the bai.k. What are Scbnrz and Crown and Trumbull and Sumner and Greiley to tue combination wtiioh n3-ailail Jackson? Thera were Webster. Cliv.

We feel confident that iho conqueror of Rich mond Las in Lis nature th dormant qualities of Jackson.

'im th'X )'. World. 'lhe prompt movement made in Congress 1... T .1 r i - .v iur. i;ui i or sucn an alteration ot our nav igation laws as will permit American ship, owners to rmrchase foreign vessel will ho in. doned by Lis immediate constituents in this city and by intelligent men throughout this State. Our canals, the chief source of our State revenues. Lave suff ered dnrimr Mm Rennou by the refusal of Congress to adopt ' . trfl l!. . ... vTeuerui v.traui s recommendation, at tne close of tLo last session, to allow Anmrirn rn!i. ters to German aud French vessels shutTup iu our pons oy me outoreaK ot tlie war. There was no encouragement, to send Western grain through tho canals to New York, when there were no adequate facilities for shipping it to Europe. The German and French ship ping was under a virtual blockade, aad the consequent advance in tho price of ocaau freights thwarted the expected effect of lojy canul tolls. Our Democrat io Legisla ture and Canal B mrd did not an ticipate a grtat European war when, last spring, they adopted a low toll shas; with a view to break down competition aud rotiia the business of tho State caads. The in creased price of ocean freights Lis counter vailed tho roducliou of canal toils; an evil which would have been avoided if Congrats bad permitted our citizens to purchase tha (Lips thrown out of use by the war. Pre vious to the war, tho groat Garruau lines had almost a monopoly of the immigrant passaa ger business; and ia their return voyages tbey took out heavy cargoes of grain at cheap rates. Vilieu their trips were stoppad freights rose, aud the diversion of the grain trado through the St. Lawrence river,2vhioh it was the purpose of our low canal tolls to prevent, went on without abatemeat. If wo Lad had our old supply of American shipping, the New York State canals aad Ne w Y'ork city would Lave obtained tho business which Las thus been turned into foreign channels. But although Mr. Cox faithfully represents the views aud interests of Lis constituaats, we are not sanguiue that the measaro ha ad vocates will have any success. There is a majority of narrow-minded protectionists in both Louses of Congress; and General Grant Las gone over, in Lis annual message, to the protectionist side. Knowing the composition of this Congress, we have not the slightest faith that it will authorize free trade ia ships. But Mr. Cox is nevertheless doing a good service in calling attention to the subject. The people need to be educated, and be is in a position where be can reach the publio mind. The deplorable condition of our commerce will be discussed at this session, and we trust tbat the Democratic ni9inbers, by their speeches and votes, will make a record that will tell upon publio opinion. No assistance is to be expected from Gen. Grant, although Le warnily reoommeaded a purchase of the German steam ai-s at-. tv outbreak of the war. In a previous special message, last winter, be urged the passage of Mr. Lynch's foolish bill; and be can easily retreat from Lis summer rninmiiiliiinn n tLe ground tLat it only related to a passing ciuerguiiuy oi an exceptional caaracter, and did not commit him to Mm hrml t-;,.i..t of free trade in ships advooated by Mr. Cox. In Lis recent message tLe President squiuts at Subsidies to American Rhin.hnil.lara. Hiit Lis language is so vague and vaoillating that nobody can tell what he means, or whether Le means anything. TLe great measure of free trade in aLips will finally be carried by tLe Democratic party over tho resolute oppo sition of all the protectionists. Laying the ex-buLlkra out of view, it is too evident for denial that free trado ia ves sels would benefit our khip-o truer. Their only chance of getting any business depends upon their cLargiug no more for freights thin their foreign competitors. But so long as these rivals can procure vessels at half cost, competition is hopeless. Free trale in ships would relieve American navigation from this heavy handicap and enable our ship-owners to compete with their rivals on equtl terms. But while their ships cost double, their busi ness will be taken-away from them by un derbidding foreigners, and Americans must mourn over their departed commerce, once the pride and bonat of the nation. It is obvious that free trade in ships would give us back all we have lost except the activity of our shipyards. At present, we lose both the profits of shipbuilding and the profits of navigation. It is better to rescue one than to be permanently deprived of both; and of tLe two the navigation iuterest is intinitely the more important. The profits of building ships are a bagatelle compared with the profits of waling them. The cost of a ship is paid out of its subsequent earnings; and besides replacing tho capital invested in its purchase, and employing, before it is worn out, a hundred-fold more labor than was needed for its construction, it generally en riches the owner when he can oompate with rivals on equal terms. What the whole na tion is now deploriug is not the fact tbat we Lave few ships on the stocks, but that our flag Las nearly disappeared from the ojeaa; although, ten years ago, we were almost neck-and-neok with Great Britain ia the race for commercial supremacy, and but for the war we should by this time have distanced all rivalship and have been tLe first maritima nation on the globe. TLe proud song of Britannia's poet, "Her march Is on the mountain wave, liertiuina is on Uie duep," would Lave belonged to us, and no longer to the rival we Lad outstrippoj. But, iustoal of tLat, Great Britain remains first, aud wa are nowhere. We should easily recover all we Lave Iob, If Congress would but let our citizens buy Hhips in the cheapest market. Who objects ? The ship-builders alone, f all our population, Lave any apparent interest In objecting. Tbey are a small class, whoso interest should not be weighed against thn commerce of the wLole country and the im portance of Laving a great body of trained American seamen from whom wo could at once recruit 'our navy in the event of a foreign war. And even the ship-builder would not be injured; for, having no busi ness now, they have no longer anything to lose. Free trade in everything, by giving them cheap materials, might enable them to revive their business; but tho oouu try will tolerate no subsidies heavy enough to luing them any effective relief. The" real practical question is between Laving no oceon-going vessels carrying tho Ani3riian nHg and a removal of the restrictions on tho purchase of foreign-built ships. Free trade in 6hips would quickly restora onr lost mari time importance; and free trade in everything would eventually, though perhaps slowly? enable us to compete with the foreign ship builders. Our native builders have' a mono poly of constructing vessels for the ooasting trade, whicL nobody proposes takiug from tbem. Free materials would iacreaso the pro fits of this branch of business, and we aro in no danger of losing tLe art of ship-bud ling so long as our vast coasting trade is exclu" sively in American Lands. SHALL WE PREPARE FOR RESUMP TION? From the X. Y. Time. Is anytLing to be done this session to fa cilitate a return to specie payments? It is not a fit subject tor quackery. There is no short and easy method of oscoping from the quagmire of inconvertibility, atid regaiuing the solid, hard-money ground. Mera legisla tion will not extricate us from the one or put us in possession of the other. We must reach tho desired end gradually, if we would escape grave disaster and naturally, if we would Lave the end permanent when reached. The marked decline in the gold premium during the last year is a tribute to the im proving credit of tL Governmeut. It is a partial guarantee against the rude shock whioh many Lave anticipated as an inevitable atten dant of resumption. But that is all. Tha pppteciation in tho value of groeubacks does not necessarily imply a ueir approach to consumption. The green back might be at p with gold, and specie payment still an unrealized boon. Before that, can be attained, the holler of paper must be abl.i to exchange it for gold at pleasure; and before r-qnal exchangeability can bo i stablishtd, tha Government must be in a condition to m. et nil probable demands for gold. It miht be possible for the Gov ernment to resume while the banks remain under tho shelter of inconvertibility. But f-atihfactory resumption involves a readiness for Kptcie payments on the part of the banks as well as of the Government. Tho Govern meut is nearer a condition of fitness than tha banks, but neither cfin be truly described as prepared, or preparing, for a change which all admit to be desirable. TLe misfortune i Hut c.nnntaa Viaa only not done anything to promote resump tion, but is continually doing something to postpone it. The Currency act of last session was a step iu the wrong direction. Tiro coun try is ia no mood to endure contraotioa. Our biif-iness clauses Lave difficulties enough to contend with, and the application of the contraction screw would render them in tolerable. Rather let us wait until what ever excess of paper that h in circulation is absorbed legitimately. Time is essential to the operation of this process, but a little delay is preferable to widespread ruin. Oa the other hand coutrcnti greater evil tLan expansion; and the latest enactment is, iu effect, a measure of expan sion. It adds something to tho volume of cur rency, and so adds to the difficulties incident lu it'i"ipuou; wane ine goia bank schame, which Concress also Hnit.innaft tainly not make these difficulties less. If, then, Congress really desires now to contribute somewhat to resumption, it must beein by reiectiner all any manner to swell the amount of currency. n o ijuvo uu uope mat tnis session will witness a limitation of the bank by the late act to the banks aotually chartered uuuer iv. rtxii me country is entitled to ask that no sectional clamor nlinll ha force us further from Bpecie payments.

This ia wi-a n,1 utataa. nianlike. It involves, as everv one will rr. ctive, tLe entire abandonment of the un constitutional income tax. We trust tbat Congress will lose no time in giving effect to tLis part of the President's recommendation. It is true that it may not be possible at onoe to nimilitV tha system of taxation as much as he recommends. uui it crimiuiy is piauucaoie to repeal the income tax without delav.

Tbat was as much a part of the eon tiact of the Government with the citizon as was the stipulation tbat the bonds of the Government should not be subject to taxa tion. And yet, in dflnoe of this contrail, Cokflress last year deliberately enacted a liw continuing the tax which they had promised not to continue. TLe sooner this violation of good faith is rescinded the better; for if it is allovel to continue, bow can ny confidence hereafter be placed in any declaration or plaige of Congress ? Let the President's polioy ia re gard to the income tax be realized at mice by thw entire abolition of that form of tan lion at the earliest pra Miaablo day. mSAGKEEAHLE TRUTHS. FrimtfieN. V. TiH,ue, TLe Scientific American calls attention to seme striking deficiencies in the make-np of onr city. It sayR: "There la, perhaps, no lann ctiv In the c.lvllnwl part of the world in wh'cn sucn uttur St'lcuuik! ileati tution prevails as In New Vorlr. Ho vtver nim-li thu citizens ma.T hungur and ttnrt attt r scieuuiic kiK. leripe, we liavo no public place Iu tl! city whore their wauts may h" supplied. There Is no irum-iini of natural history, no colic tlun of niliieriiloirr aim pcolopy, no accumulation of modi-U of nia-Mitiiery ro reoloplcai pardon, no technologloal collection for the free use ol the people." True as the above is, it seems to us loss remarkable end far less deplorable than a kindred deficiency. Our boys, for the most part, are not learning trades, nonqualifying themselves for vany practical, productive career. We believe more of onr youth are tending bars and billinrd-rooms than are learning mecbanical trades. Quite a number are trying to be clerks and book-keepers at least twice as many as can ever find steady employment in tLo-e pursuits; but tbo men wLo dig our cellars, lay onr brick, do our car penter work, finish and furnish our Louses, were neatly all born in Europo, aud aro regu larly recruited Irom tLat continent. It Reeuis to us tLat fewer Americans by birth are work ing ns mechanics in our city than there wero twenty or thirty years ago, and tint far fejver of our boys are nerving an apprenticeship. But the gravest aspect of our social condi tion is the multiplicity and rapid increase of youth who Lave no regular pursuit, or, at least, follow none. They hang about grog shops and billiard rooms, drinking ami suiok icg, and avowing their purpose to become politicians. Some of them have been set to work at trades, but Lave thrown down the trowel, tie adze, the jack-plane, and delibe rately addicted themselves for life to what they consider politics. They are always ready for a Lorse roce, a game of ball, a target ex cursion; but they do not averago an honest day'H work each per mouth. Of course, they are alwnjs needy, and envious of those who are not; end they seldom achieve a ne y suit of clothes save on the eve of a contested election. In short, they aro a bad lot of loaf f is. Though they expect to live out of the public, not one of thso fellows ever sus pected thnt it might be necessary for him to seem honest, moral, uud decent in order to succeed in Lis cLosen career. On tbe con trary, they are universally libertines, gam blers, ond tipplers, or ouly fail to be for lack of means. They glory in target excursions; tbey swell Democratic precessions; tL?y beia to vote at sixteen or seventeen vears of an- and are vc-teian repeaters by tho time they are twenty. If there be any vioe with which one of them is not already familiar, be sure tLat Le is intent on its early acquirement. It was from such a crew that Catiline mus tered the forces with which he advanced to sack and devastate Rome. What shall be done to transform theso young reprobates into honest, virtuous, useful, respected citizens? SYLat must be our future if our future Tweeds are to be backed by tbrice the number of these em bryo ruffians that afflict us to-day?
