I5L.VTIIERSKI TE IN TERVIEWi. From tne A'. 1'. Tribune, After the extraordinary progress in imper tinence and self-abasement which hai beon made within a year or two by that peculiar product of American culture, the special interviewer, it would be rash to assume that the creature Las reached its full development, or that baiow the lowest depths yet readied the New York Blatters. He will not find a lower. It d ies eeem, however, as if the tender lmd of impu dence had blossomed at last into such a stu pendously big peony of vulgarity that no art -could force it iato broader bio 3m. Even Mark Twain' burlesque of the reporter who pushed himself into the cabinet of the captive of "Wilhaluas hohe, and came away unconscious that his Majesty had civilly turned him out of doors without saying anything, is not half bo absurd as the sober narrative printed on Wednesday of the ineffable flunky who "worked up" the amours of James Fisk, Jr. The interviews of the representative of the Blatherskite with two gentlemen concerned in the tearful epi sode of Fisk'a gum-shoes revealed nothing beyond the fact that "Mr. Ulysses Thomas W. Fittman" wore a diamond ring on his wedding-finger (whichever that may be), and that "Mr. Achilles Stokes" is perfectly well bred and has beautiful moss-agate sleeve buttons. We might be skeptical as to the Blatherskite standard of good-breeding, but Mr. Stokes invited the reporter to "come down to the dining-room," and that explains a good deal. What they did in the dining room we, unfortunately, are not told; but in a short time we And the reporter, in com pany with a friend named Smith, performing an exploit that beats even the Universe's de scription of Father Hyacinthe's wash-basin. There are places into whioh we Bhould think even an interviewer would be ashamed to in trude, and scenes whioh oven the Blatherskite might hesitate to depict. Mr. Fisk, for in stance, in bis hours of relaxation is a spec tacle not exactly fit for publio exhibition; and his Josie, however picturesque she may be in an affidavit, ought for several reasons to be spared the nuisance of visits from re porters. To the private residence of Mrs. Helen Josephine Mansfield La lor, never theless, the representative of the blatherskite went; and, having got admission, he pro ceeded to turn the establishment inside out with a reckless freedom at which respecta bility stands aghast. "The approach to the hall door by the lofty stoop," we are in formed, "made the reporter and his friend feel a sense of awe as they ascended the stone steps," which is attributable, we suppose, to the fact that they were unaccus tomed to approach brown-stono houses exoept by the kitchen way. Having got into the parlor, where "all the accessories that wealth and refinement could suggest were heaped with a reckless profusion worthy of a squan dering Goth or predatory IIun,"they were thence escorted to the dining-room, which eeems, lik6 the parlor, to have been over loaded, not to say choked, with its own mag nificence, for mahogany furniture, with buhl work, and marqueterie, "was as tbiokly strewed in the room as leaves in Valla ni brosa." In this curious place, surrounded by pictures of "fish and other indications of a refined taste," sat two ladies at dinner. One was Mrs. Williams, a lady of whom we are told very little, except that she is prepos sessing in form. The other, robed in white, was Mrs. Mansfield. Mrs. Mansfield is "shaped like a duchess" which is brilliant but vague. Her skin is "as fair in fibre and bue as the lily itself." She has "sea-shell-likeears." The reporter took her hand and found it to be smooth: While she received her guests the reporter and his friend stood whispering together a the door, dropping into poetry, discussing her appearance, and carrying on quite a long aside conversation on the subject of Ireland, Oliver Cromwell, and Jim Fisk. What a tableau this must have made ! When they had finished, Mr. Smith introduced the Blatherskite, out popped the inevitable note-book, and our hero, after sucking the point of his pencil, fell to business. It is needless to say that the conversation was conducted with exquisite tact and deli cacy. The Blatherskite began by asking Mrs. Mansfield if Jim Fisk gave her that house; and having thus gently broken the ice, he made it his duty to inquire where she got all her fine clothes, who found her in wine (a hint which she apparently did not take), and whether she paid for her own food. She evi dently meant that the reporter should pay for his, for nothing could persuada her to invite him to dine. A little lively conversation about the character of Mr. Fisk suggested the next question, whioh seems to have beeu sprang upon the lady suddenly, without the efightent preparation: "Mrs. Mansfield, don't you think Montaland is a coarse person in her way ?" This is inimitable. Just fancy the creature putting this query, with a leer of idiotic cunning, and the calm conviction that he had Baid a neat thing for which Mrs. Mansfield would be everlastingly grateful. He must have been amazed at the reply: "I do not; I think faho is very nice and pretty." We need not follow the conversation to the end. It is enough to say that the story of the gum-shoes, and Fisk in tears, and Stokes triumphant was all rehearsed, and Mrs. Mans field told how Fisk was Buch a coward that he never walked the streets without a mau to guard him, and used to send to Sheriff O'Brien for "a gang of the boys" to protect him at balls and theatres. The interview closed with a very appropriate remark from Mrs. Mans field to the effect that she "didn't need the assistance of reporters;" and the Blalhenkite representative made his way out, and hurried to put his shame on paper. Of course he did not learn a single interestin a fact bv his visit. and even the most prurient curiosity could gather no satisfaction from his narrative. We should not think of alluding to his exploit if we considered only its results; but the man who could go on such an errand with evident satisfaction, and come away from it without the least suspicion tnat ue was a dirty do is a social phenomenon that ought to bo in- vestigateu. WASTE OF TIME IN CONGRESS. From the X. Y. Time. The collapse of the investigation into the Brooks-Habtings affair ought to teach mem bers of the House at least two useful lessons, In the first place, they ought to see that it is impossible for them to attend properly to the business of the country if they are to be ever lastingly occupied wiln each other a squab ties. Members ought to have sufficient sense and dignity to keep their private biokfjriug and troubles out of Congress. The legisla tive branch of the Government was never ia tended to answer the purpose of a court for the settlement of personal differences. Too often it baa been made to answer that pur pose; but it is not the less our duty to dis courage it. Men in public life are expeoted to have self-restraint and patience enough to bear attacks with calmness, especially when they are themselves rather quick to attack others. In the next place, this incident ought to render members of Congress more chary of inleiferirg in newspaper quarrels. There is a remedy for every wrong a journalist may infliet, without putting in force the ponder ous machinery of Congress. In this particu lar instnnce, it has been proved that a Con gressional committee may bo rendered worse than lifeless. To avoid the appearance of separating without any result whatever, it has passed a resolution absolving Mr. Brooks from the charges brought against him. But every man must Bee how utterly worthless is its certificate. Without knowing anything whatever about the facts of the case, without hearing a witness on one side or the other, it decides that Mr. Brooks stands acquitted. It is as if a court of law which had no jurisdiction in a case brought before it, resolved, to the surprise of counsel and spectators, to give judgment in favor of one of the parties to the suit, without hearing arguments or evidence. Such a judgment as that would not stand very long, nor would it much influence the course of publio opin ion. In the same way, the verdict of this committee must necessarily bo without the least weight, and therefore it has practi cally done Mr. Brooks more harm than good. We need not enter into the merits of the quarrel between Mr. Brooks and Mr. Hast ings, but we must be allowed to say that if a man is compelled to go back twenty seven years to rake up something against an antagonist, and then can only find an apology for an indiscretion, evidently signed under compulsion if it ever was signed at all, which is denied he involuntarily pays a high tribute to the character of that an tagonist. Of course, this is not what Mr. James Brooks meant to do, but he did it. Moreover, he ought to have told the House on Wednesday that Mr. Stone, whose name he dragged into the case, is disgusted with the use which Mr. Brooks and others have made of the alleged "apology," and regards its revival as both cowardly and unjust. We observe that the Express complains of not having received fair play from several of its contemporaries. But tho Express must be reminded that it has often been very ready to go behind newspapers for the purpose of attacking writers, and that whenever it adopts that course it takes in hand a sword which may cut both ways. Upon tbn whole, we must repeat our opinion that this was not a case which ought ever to have been allowed to occupy live minutes of the time of Con gress. DOWN WITH TIIETAXES. From the A 1'. Herald. Is there nobody in Congress with eyes sharp enough to see and brain weighty enough to win the eminent position that lies waiting for the publio man who will lead a successful attack upon the giant Taxation ? I or some time past we have been peering about with our lantern for some statesman with a tongue and a head, a decent knowledge of arithmetic processes, a modicum of care for the publio good, and a large share of am bition, who will see and use this fine oppor tunity. We are surprised at that chronio de fault of ambition and arithmetic which leaves us without champions of the people's cause in this question of purse and pocket; and more surprised are we at the patience of an outraged, oppressed, and defrauded people. Camels can and do rebel and bite when they are overloaded. Elephants deposit their drivers and their burdens in the river or the mud when those beasts, more intelligent than our tax-payers, it would seem, are of opinion that the burden has been unfairly adjusted to the back, les, even cows sometimes kick over the milk pail, and the milkmaid in the bargain, when they consider, after the reflection, that their patient and useful teats are too vigorously end exhaustively drawn on. But what will wear out the slavish patience of our tax-paying body ? What extremities of fiscal oppression will they submit to before they emulate the judicious camel, elephant, and cow, and administer kicks to our dull finan cial tyrants that shall compel them to reform their blundering ways f We have run through the negro question. Beginning with the abolition of the slave trade and the slave-pens in the District of Columbia in 180, step by step all the legal wrongs of the black man nnder our late in stitutions and constitution of Afrioan slavery have been righted; and in the recent ratiuoa- tion of the fifteenth amendment we have made Uncle Tom "a man and a brother." The Southern reconstruction question, which, pending the conflict between the policy of Congress and the policy of Andy Johnson, threatened a long agitation and a world of trouble, has been substantially settled by Congress and General Grant. The social and political disorders which still alllict the South are but the natural consequences of a political and social revolution tearing out the old established order of things by tho roots. These disorders can be cured only by time, although the idea still seems to prevail in Con Kress that they can be cured by another dras tic purge or two of reconstruction. But he who looks at the recorded revolutions or the whtrli gig of American politics for the last fifty years will find that the two great revolutionary issues of the country have been "the almighty uieeer" and the "almighty dollar," and that w hen the nigger question has been temporarily pushed into the background the question of tho almighty dollar has come into tne ioregrounu. Thus, if Southern slavery was tne great agiu tion of 1820, the money question was the rul ing issue of the country frjoi 1330 to 1850, when the negro again came to the front aud threatened to tear the country to pieces, After twenty years of sestional agitations and convulsions thus excited, including our ter rible civil war, the negro question is sotteld, and now, with all the accumulated financial difficulties of these twenty years, the "almighty dollar" is again the all-ab3orbing question, and especially in referenoa to our heavy, and needlessly heavy burdens, of tax atiou. This question of taxation is rapidly beootn ing the foremost practical question of tho hour for all of us. The reaction, of priooj from the inflated condition of the war has now set in with intensity, and the erlooaav political condition of the Old World, reactftig so powerfully as it does on an ine values of our staples, threatens to precipitate alarm ingly the fall in values. Our profit margins are being abridged in all directions. Yet the tide of taxation st ill rises around the weaken ing foundations of our house. Both iu the Federal and the State departments of our publio affairs there is a ooastaut tendency to increase in the public burdens. And impu dence reaches a height unparallelod ia hU tory in some of the projects submitted to our legislative bodies for fleecing the people. We read the other day of a project placed before Congress for subsidizing mining com panies to the extent of millions of dollars. What we need is a flnanoe minister who 6b all have the management of our finance system as a whole both before the legislative bodies and in the department. To put it as shortly as possible, we have no budget and no Minister of Finance who draws it up and has to answer for it. In all countries gov erned by a parliamentary system, the revenue and expenditure of each year aro stated by the responsible minister to the representative body. Ihus the taxation and the disburse ments of the country as a whole are pre Rented to the representatives and the publio as a coherent, intelligible thing, which his, like a building, its responsible architect. It is obvious that by this method it is possible to have real financial policy and lo control it by publio debate and opinion. But our plan of propounding tx bills through committees of the House is one which never can by any possibility introduce logio, coherence, prudence and justice into the financial system of the country. This is a point about which it is of no use to fostor illusions. Such committees will never pro duce bills which represent anything but the conflicts and compromises of private feelings and interests. The question of the publio advantage and of the reason of the thing will be always as nearly as possible suppressed. If w e are ever to get economy and rationality properly represented in our fiscal affairs we must do it through the medium of a minister responsible to the legislative body, sitting in it, talking to it face to face, and exposed to rtceivmg direct blows right between the eyes from skilful opposition hands. We must cry on and cry aloud until we get the modicum of justice possible in the reduc tion ot the taxes. It is a short, simple, and easy thing to reduce the Federal taxation by a Lundred million dollars or so, and the people will be satisfied with nothing le3S. There must be an end put to this conspicu ous folly of treasury hoarding, whioh takes out of their hard-working hands the money they so Eorely need, and boxes it up idly to eat its own head off in interest in mouldy treasury vaults. Have we really no use for money in this land of high interest, scanty capital, and boundless territory, that has to be roaued, bridged, and towned, that we snft'er the very men elected by ourselves to wring it from us and lay it by, like an in fatuated old woman who knows no better than to put her surplus cash into a stocking or a teapot ? We think these inquiries pertinent at this time, because Congress has as yet given no intimation of moving in behalf of areduotion of the taxes. Our Washington reports tell us that the Finance Committee of the Senate, in seeking suggestions from the Revenue De partment, was met with the assurance that nothing in the way of new legislation is needed. Yet the country is demanding a change in the Government's financial policy. Who will be the Moses to lead the people to ineir deliverance t REPUBLICAN SWINDLING OF INDIANS. From, the X. V. World. If the administration of Indian affairs is ever to become less expensive and more effec tive than it now is, publio attention must be kept fixed upon it and public officers held to as strict performance of their duty as may be, and not permitted to shirk or to perform sin ful games. In a letter to Messrs. Eli K. Price and William Strong, Mr. William Welsh, Chairman of the Board of "Unpaid Oommis- sicners, which offered to co-operate with the Department of the Interior in furthering the interests of the Indians, shows how all power of acting effectively was taken from the com missioners by a discreditable piece of hocus pocus. In 18!) an amendment was made to the Indian Appropriation bill, authorizing the President to organize a board of not more than ten commissioners, to serve with out pay, and which, under his direc tion, was to exercise joint control with the Interior Department in the supervision and control of disbursements of money, etc , to the Indians. Shortly afterwards, aud be fore the lately appointed Board of Commis sioners had come together, Commissioner Parker came to New York to open and accept proposals for furnishing the Indians with dry goods, having been instructed not to act without the concurrence of Mr. George H. Stuart and Mr. William E. Dodge, who were members of the Board of Unpaid Com missioners. Ihese gentlemen saw at once that frauds, customary on such occasions, were being perpetrated, and obtained a warehouse where the dry goods could be stored and examined before they should be Bent to the far-off reservations. This unusual procedure did not please Commissioner Par ker, who went post-haste to Washington and had the original order remodelled so as to compel Messrs. Stuart and Dodge to examine the goods in the 6tores of tho sellers, the pre tense being that otherwise there would bo unnecessary delay in their delivery. As all power of preventing abuse in their new ca pacity was thus taken from them, the chair man of the board declined to aot further as commissioner, and the othors were disheart ened. Outside of the Indian Office the board has, however, done much good, although it meets with all sorts of red-tape hindrance, especially at the hands of those who from long practice know how to shield agents from detection in peculation, and then to pocket half the profits with a smile that is childlike end bland.
