THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY JANUARY 7, 1871. 87IXLXT or tnn run so. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals UponCurrentTopioJ Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph TIIE COLORED CADET. From the .V. V. Tribune. The colored cadet ia accnsod of lying, and was to be tried upon the charge yeBterdty. There oppears a strong likelihood that some one of the cadets lied in connection with the affair which led to the trial. We have not yet so far lost faith in human nature as to believe that Cadet Smith in to be degraded from his pjsition by a general conspiracy, involving so many officers and men as must be fully cognizant of the facts in this unhappy case Mich a conspiracy as wonld be neces sary to convict under specifications like those which have been adduced. The verdict of the court will be awaited with interest; and it will certainly be rendered with a fall con sciousness that it will be subject to a subse quent severe official and unofficial review, l'robably few boys could be found who would be able to sustain so long as Smith has done the terrible orSeal of isolation and insults which has befallen him; and it is to his credit that he still presents a manly front. Vest Point is thickly incrusted with conceit and affectation, and assumes an air of in difference to public opinion which it is far from actually feeling. The voice of the cress is heard no less distinctly there than elsewhere. We believe, therefore, that ex traordinary pains have been taken to secure to SmRh the most ample official considera- tion, even from those known to revile him privately on account of his color. It is to be remembered, too, that those now in the classes at the academy have been appointed chiefly by radical Congressmen, and may be assumed to sympathize in general with the tendency to break down all barriers in the way of the advancement of colored men. Under these circumstances, it might well have been hoped that Smith would make his way at the Academy, even while a considerable portion of the cadets sneered at his oolor; for if the discipline at the academy is harassing in some respects, it is also largely protective of juniors; and the severity of dis cipline has been, in reality, Smith's safe guard. It is not so surprising, therefore, that he is found to be advanoed to the mid dle of his class, or that he retains excellent health and spirits; and it would not be sur prising, all the circumstances of his notoriety being considered, if he had sometimes be come insolent and troublesome, among his fellows, and been made to feel a little of the wholesome curbing of the play-grftund. We expect to see in a lew years numerous negro officers of the regular army, even though Cadet Smith should fail to become one of them. FUNDING TIIE DEBT. 'From the N. T. Times. The Senate has passed a bill changing the terms 01 me lunaing act, by autnonzing aa increase of the issue of five per cent, bonds .from two to five hundred millions. The measure was introduced at the instance of the Secretary of the Treasury, who clings to the belief that it is possible even now to fund the publio debt at a rate lower than the present. We take the change proposed r ' 1 j j r t m as a coniession 01 inaoiiiiy to noac lour or four and a half per cent, bonds. But is there any valid reason for believing that a rive per cent, security will find a market, to any considerable extent, in this country or in Europe ? The Franco-German war was referred to by the Secretary, in his report, as the source of last year's obstacles to the funding scheme in Europe. Undoubtedly it engendered some difficulties and aggravated others, but it bv no means explains the fact of failure. We never regarded success as among the imme diate probabilities. Accepting the war, ho w ever, as a source of hindrance whose seri ousness the Secretary admits, what likeli hood is there of improvement for some time to come? Whether the conflict between France and Germany terminate soon or late, it Is evident that neither of those countries will for some years be in a position to abBorb more foreign securities. Their finan cial condition will be bad in the case of France it will be deplorable; and the capitalists of both will have at home .triple scope for the use of all the means at their command at rates above that fixed as the maximnm for the funding of our bonde. In England their chance will not be much better. . The London Economist reoently Bhowed that the greater part of the colonial and foreign stocks and bonds owned in Great Britain yield six or seven per cent.; and the cm rent prices of most of them are fatal to the expectation that a five per cent. United States bond can be sold there at par. Be sides, it is reasonably certain that the finan cial exigencies of England, consequent upon the military and naval plans of its govern ment, and the distrust growing out of wide spread international complications, will still further diminish the marketability of a five per cent. American bond. Is the prospect any better in this country? Is it supposed that a large amount of five per cents, can now be disposed of in Wall street, or that investors, large or small, in other parts of the country will be content with that rate of interest? We know that, practically, money in the Atlantic and Middle States is worth seventeen per cent., and that in the West and South there is no difficulty in- ob taining good security at twelve to eighteen per cent. Look at the bonds now being placed upon the Eastern markets. The ma jority are seven per cent, in gold, or eight per cent, in currency; one, presented under very strong auspices, yields 7 "M per cent, in coin. . The idea that, with money at its pre sent value, a five per cent, security will be sought with the avidity which the Secretary anticipates, seems to us delusive. This is, in truth, confessed when the pro moters of funding propose to make the ac ceptance of the bonds by banks and other moneyed institutions compulsory. One argu ment which we have seen in print suggests not only that the national banks shall be compelled to take these bonds, in considera tion of the removal of the tax on circulation, but that savings banks and other institutions of a kindred character shall also be re quired to invest their surplus funds in them. Such an interference with the most popular of provident institutions is utterly inexcu sable; and the mere suggestion of it reveals the weakness of any plan of funding at the rates contemplated. TIIE GEA11Y ItEVOLT. From the N. Y. World. If there be any sensibility or apprehension of danger, distant or remote, ia the L.xecu tive coterie at Washington, it surely must have been stirred by the unexpected revolt in Pennsylvania. Governor Geary's message about 1 ederal interference at State elections is a bolt from a part of the firmament which was thought to be very sunsniny. i or our Governor's jnnt indignation at the nearly consummate outrage here the Federal Execu tive and his little court were no doubt pre pared, and had for the sting which it gave all manner ot pleasant appliances and party poultices. "New York is unfriendly, and of course its uovernor would complain. But Pennsylvania, loyal Pennsylvania home of Bone ana Cameron and the onoe faithful Forney, whoRe votes the gallant Geary mar (hailed and led into line for Grant that it shonld fall away, and that too at the very crisis of fate, must be hard to bear. It is not the envious Casca of Democracy, but the well-beloved Brutus of military and radieal companionship, who now brandishes the steel. Seriously speakiDg, it is a very im portant development. We have never been, as our columns abun dantly attest, admirers of the gentleman who for the last few years has discharged execu tive functions in our sister State. There are traits of character and have been acts in hts military and civil career which command no sympathy or approval on our part, and, so far as we meddled with it, we have never hesitated to say so. We are quite aware of the force or the weakness of the sneer with which radicalism will, greet any apparent change of tone. But neither sneer nor any thing more serious will deter us from praise, if we cared in this instance to go out of our way to bestow it; certainly not from empha sizing a marked political incident, which this unquestionably is. Relatively to what was attempted and done here, the Federal intru sion into Pennsylvania amounted to nothing. It was altogether tentative. It was putting out the band, with a sword in it too, to see how far the arm might be stretched and the weapon pushed. There was a new circuit judge on hand, freshly appointed to do dirty work; but he was not our Woodruil nor pressed by Woodruff's necessities. The District Judge, a thorough lawyer and Democrat, looked on coldly. The District- Attorney actually refused to have anything to do with it. Judge McKennon did all that was needed, and Forney's marines marched back again. All this, however, contemptible as it seems now, was initiate, and so Gov ernor Geary seems to regard it. He looks at it earnestly, he speaks of it solemnly; and. although three months have passed since the deed of wrong was at tempted, he speaks of it with all the gravity and emphasis which an act of yesterday might provoke. He denounces it, its author, aiders, and abettors President, Attorney General, officious soldiers and calls to it as their act, for which they are responsible, the attention not only of the General Assembly but of Congress. "It merits," says Gov ernor Geary, "your prompt consideration and decisive action." What Congress can do to arrest and punish a forced construction of one of its statutes and an outrage on a State is not very clear, unless, absil omen, another impeachment is suggested; but the appeal to the State Legislature is much more intelli gible and practical. It is, if we mistake not, a General Assembly of balanced politics the Senate Democratic, the House Republican and hence representative of a general popu lar sentiment; and this the Governor had ia mind when he said what he did. The "As sembly" can scarcely avoid taking some "de cisive action" when thus invited. It is an invitation to the Governor's friends; an ad monition, in a friendly spirit, to his enemies. Neither can well disregard it, unless he is by Federal influence to be excommunicated; and then he is sure of a welcome by all honest and patriotic men of both parties. Gover nor Geary's language is more than earnest. It touches the edge of severe satire, and its force is duly estimated; for, oddly enough, our neighbor of the Tribune shows his appre ciation of the force of words by italicizing one phrase. We quote from Geary apud Greeley on Thursday, the italics, we repeat, being the Tribune's: "With a good President," says Governor Geary, "the exercise of this power might have no injurious results, but in the hands of a bad man it might prove exceedingly calami tous. Unconsciously a good President might be induced to employ it tcrongfuUy; a bad one would be almost certain to use it to his own advantage." There is something exquisite in this attratv tive suopestion, and the Tribune adds to its felicity and force by ostentatiously making a choice, and by italics proclaiming that our President is a good one, doing wrong and not knowine that he does it. Our inclination, we confess, is to the other proposition. We may be permitted to observe, in conclusion, that desnerate indeed must be the outlook of the Grant administration when protective Penn sylvania thus defies him. He had better, before it is too late, become a revenue re former. ' WATCHES, JEWELRY, ETO. tvns LADOMUS & coT 'DIAMOND DEALERS & JEWELERS.)
