Editorial Opinions oftfie Leading JouriaU upon Current Topioi 3 o npiled Every Otyfor the Evening Telegraph. FRANCE AT THE TOLLS. Frem the X. 1. Tribune. If Count Bismarck Lai not at the last mo ment interfered to postpone the elections, yesterday witnessed the most important event of the war. Upon the result of the polling hang consequence vastly more mo mentous than upon any possible battle. If the Republicans stand firmly by their colors and send to the Assembly at Bordeaux a mi. jority of Deputies pledged to the maintenance of freedom, and prepared to make those sacri fices of national susceptibility which are abso lutely required by the circumstances of the honr, they will win for France a victory mare glorious and more enduring in its conse quences than any won by the great Consul with the invincible armies of the first repub lic. But if, on the other hand, the apathy or the dissensions of those who love liberty less than their own conceits should throw the nation once more into the dishonoring euo braoe of the men who have corrupted and de stroyed it for a score of years, the disaster of Waterloo and the infamy of Sedan will not be comparable to the disgrace of yesterday's business. It would be rash to make any predictions in view of the confusion and hurry of the short week given to preparation for a canvass bo important. Everything has worked together against the republic. The unfor tunate escapade of Oambetta seemed likely for a moment to make shipwreck of the Libe ral cause. The Cabinet at Versailles ap peared inclined to make it a oause for interfering with the elections on the ground that, with M. Gambotta's disquali fying provisions, they could not be free. But the mischief has now been remedied so far as was in the power of the Govern ment of National Defense. MM. Pelletan, Arago, and Garnier-Pages have arrived in Bordeaux, and have issued instructions to the prefects disavowing the disfranchising circular of Gambetta, aud ordering the striot observance of the decree of the 31st of January, providing for the free exercise of universal suffrage. The country will there fore be spared the disaster of an actual con flict of authority on election day; but it is not to be hoped that the republican cause can entirely escape the consequences of this useless and ill-advised act of insubordination. The old spirit of violence and intolerance which has before proved bo dangerous and difficult to manage is again showing itself in Paris. The Government is arraigned for cowardice by publio speakers who ha e not yet gotten the color back into their faces, bleached by the air of cellars during the siege. One orator is reported as clamoring for a Robespierre and a guillotine as the spe cific for present troubles. The wise and in corruptible men who have fought a losing fight with admirable courage and discretion are denounced in mass meeting by that cow ardly epithet of "traitor" so easy to launch and so hard to disprove. The radical clubs put forward as their favorite candidates such impracticable dreamers as lingo and llollin, such narrow controversialists as Blano and Brnssao, such brilliant madcaps as Pyat and Kochefort. The first dawn of peace seems to have emboldened them to clamor for con tinued war. The old parties are working with less noise bnt the greatest energy. The leading minds in the select and respectable Orleans party have announced their candidature in favorable quarters, and will doubtless elect members enough to make a fair basis of operations in the Assembly. The adherents of the Empire, feeling this their last opportunity for plunder and power, will make a final effort to restore their fallen chief, and it is probable that the unhappy quarrels of the last week will have been of great assistance to them. Even the devotees of the ancient monarchy, those high born curiosities who every year left their palaces to go in pilgrimage to Frohsdorf to kiss the band of Henry of Bourbon, have oome out of the twilight of the middle ages to stand as candidates to a democratic As sembly where they hope to plead the cause of feudalism and divine right. The telegraph brings us one significant piece of news which would be of interest to those insane patriots who are now brawling against Favre and Trochu in Paris. The Prussians have stopped several convoys of provisions which were on their way to the city. This would indicate that if the result of the elections should be the triumph of the extreme war party, Count Bismarck would not wait for the assembling of the convention at Bordeaux, but would shut tha gates of the capital and aooept at once the war the Pari sians offer. It does not need the thought of the long vista of suffering which such a con tingency at onoe opens, to induce all thinking people to pray that the long-tried and harried masses of France have given the votes that will bring to them liberty and peace. WHY DOES NOT MR. BOUTWELL RETIRE? From the K. F. Time. "I shall on all subjeots have a policy to recommend none to enforce against the will of the people." These were General Grant's words on the 4 th of March, 18G9. They are words that gave satisfaction to the country, because affording a guarantee against a renewal of that mischievous con test between the Executive and Congress from which the country had just been de livered. They were accepted, too, as a pledge applicable to the administration in all its parts, as well as to the President individually. It was not thought possible that what the President would not do any of his advisers might do with impunity. Yet this is pre cisely what Mr. Bout well has done ever ainoe he assumed the management of the Treasury. lie set up a policy of his own. and has pushed it, in season and out of sea Bon, in defiant opposition to the will of the people. In nothing have the people been more po Bitive or persistent than in the demand for a reduotion of taxes. J. hey have nrged it, not with any vague hostility to taxation, but under a stern sense of the injury which the then existing burdens inflicted upon their Interests. The experience of the war time had abundantly proved their readiness to endure sacrifices when the wants of the coun try made them necessary. When the war ended, and the drain it had created hud ceased, the first cry was for relief. Industry and trade struggled as for existence under a load beyond their strength. That cry was still, to a large extent, unheeded when Mr. Bout well parsed from Congress to the Treasury De partment. An oppressive system of internal taxation bad prostrated some branches, of manufactures, and crippled all. Relief was not simply asked for it wn imperatively re quired. To have withheld it would have been to consign important interests to a condition little short of ruin. Congress came to the rescue. The benefits it conferred were more limited than they should have been, but they were timely and most valuable. It left some portion of its work for the present session and for the next Congress. The repeal of the income tax was singled out for this session. The popular voice, never in its favor, now asks imperatively for its repeal. The country wants no more of it. Aud the Ways and Means Committee, following General Grant's maxim, reports that it bus no policy to en force against the will of the people. There is, however, one man to whom the people's will has no significance. Wrapped in a self-complacency that is almost incom prehensible, Mr. Boutwell not only reoom: mended a policy, but has by all possi ble methods endeavored to enforce it with a sullen indifference to the wants and wishes of the country. We can imagine a Secre tary in whom such conduct, for a brief period, would not be intolerable. A profound master of finance, intimately acquainted with the condition of industry and com merce, with broad and clear views in rela tion to the course which must be followed to extricate the country from fiscal and politi cal difficulties, might be excused if, for a single session, he pressed his facts and logic upon the attention of Congress. But Mr. Boutwell is not Bnch a Seoretary, He has shown himself destitute of knowledge and capacity on financial subjects. He has neither information or resource. One idea, and one only, has possession of his head. He holds that his mission is to fund the debt, and to this end be covets a large and constant sur plus, to be applied to the redemption of obligations years in advance of their maturity. The buying of bonds and Belling of gold constitute tha, begin ning and end of his theory of depart mental management. The more bonds he buy 8 the more successful he fancies himself to be. And to buy bonds he needs a large revenue in excess of the legitimate require ments of the Government.' A policy so niuoh at variance with the teachings of experi ence and the welfare of the people would be contemptible, if it were not disastrous. As a financial theory, it is pitiful. As the basis of a policy by which to regulate the nature and amount of the revenues col lected, it is mischievous. On all possible occasions, however, he urges it upon Con gress. He recommends it in his report, lie thrusts it upon committees, by speech and letter. He buttonholes Senators and Representatives, and begs of them to support bis one idea. In all conceivable ways, session after session, he has exerted the influence attaching to his position in systematic opposi tion to the will of the people. A sensitive, high-minded man would retire when he found his recommendations disregardodjby Congress and scouted by the people. He would dis cover that he occupied a false position, and would escape from it as best he could. Mr. Boutwell has taken another course. The more he advocated the retention of taxes the louder the people shouted "Down with the taxes." Congress heeded the peo ple rather than the Seoretary. Still he has clnug to his office, his head all the time occupied with the solitary idea. And still he throws his weight, be it much or little, on the side of the income tax. We submit in all frankness that the country has had quite enough of Mr. Boutwell and his policy, ne has been tried and found want ing. He does nothing toward solving finan cial problems, and does all he can to keep on the taxes. lie is like Andrew Johnson in his preference for bis own policy over the will of the people. He brings discredit on the administration, and wins no glory for himself. The only atonement he oan offer is to retire from the Treasury without more ado. WHY DON'T BOUTWELL RESIGN ? From the N. T. World. The two most important officers in the American Cabinet are the Seoretary of State and the Seoretary of the Treasury. There has never been an instanoe in which other Cabinet officers have exerted a marked influence on the policy of the country. The duties of other omcers are merely administra tive and ministerial, whereas the heads of the State and the Treasury Departments often control, one the foreign, the other the domestio policy of the Government. To go no further back than the administration of President Lincoln, it is in everybody's recollection that the course of the Govern ment on the Trent difficulty, respecting the empire of the ill-fated Maximilian, and on our relations with Great .Britain during the trying period of the civil war, were controlled by Mr. Seward; while the finances and fund ing system of the war, including the esta blishment of the national banks, was the work of Mr. Chase, just as in Washington's ad ministration the foreign policy was Jeffer son's and the financial policy Hamilton's. These are the only Cabinet officers who have any pretensions to be rivals of the President under whom they serve, for the succession, or who ever become objects of his jealousy. In the present Cabinet, General Grant has no jealousy of the Secretary of State, but he has long been looking askance at the Secre tary of the Treasury. Mr. Fish is a states man who is singularly devoid of vulgar ambi tion. Although he makes an excellent Seore tary of State, he never ooveted, and has long been anxiouB to resign, the position. The thought never entered his loyal and candid mind of making this office a stepping-stone to the highest place in the Government. He accepted it from a sense of publio duty, and although we have never had a Secretary who filled the social requirements of that position with so much propriety or so tasteful a hos pitality, it adds nothing to the eminent social consideration which he previously enjoyed, and he has long been wishing to escape from it as a burdensome bore. There is no trace of demagogism in his composition, and nothing but the urgency of the President has prevented his earlier retirement to the private life which his virtues are so well fitted to Morn, it is generally understood that he wl" Bxn give place to Senator Morton. Ihe Secretary of the Treasury is a man of very different stamp. if- Ur. Fish had stood in Boutwell a shoes, he wouli have peremptorily resigned many months ago. Of late, Boutwell is perpetually snubbed and thwarted by the President He i8 poor, and the salary of , the office is important to him he is ambitious, and shrinks from the irre trievable obscurity into which he would sink by a forced or voluntary withdrawal frooi the Cabinet; he is stiff and opinionated, and is unwilling to see his polioy overruled after it has been the sole theme of praise for tha present administration in the recent elec tions. But it is nevertheless evident that he cannot stay in the Cabinet without losing his self-respect by submitting to indignities which no high-spirited man would coaseat to endure. The latest proof that the President has witldrawn bin confidence and is willing to l 1 mt'ilbte Boutwell, in his support of Generil l'ltancton in bis zealous efiorta to procure a repeal of the income tax. It appears, from General rieatanton's own account of the matter, that be consulted the Pres cient on this pnbject, but did not consult Boutwell. The President, knowing Hontwell's strenuons opposition to a repenl of the tax, encouraged and abetted Plrasanton in bis attempt to override tbo policy of his official chief. If Boutwell were not sordid aud mean-spirited, be would have resigned as soon as thia fact came to bis knowledge. It is a kind of affront which no man of honor at the head of the Treasury could submit to. To be snie, the President is entitled to his own views on this or any other publio mea sure; but when he dissented from the Secre tary of the Treasury, the courteous thing for bim to do was to make a frank explanation of the difference to the Secretary himself, and if be could neitLer convince Bout well's judg ment nor yield bis own, to tell him that he was expected to forbear all active opposition. Instead of this considerate conrse, the Presi dent encourages one of Boutwell's subordi nates to make a publio demonstration of hos tility to Lis views; and Boutwell's, refusing to take the hint and smarting under the in dignity, vehemently appeals to Congress against the policy of the President. All right-thinking minds regard Grant's nnub bing discourtesy and Boutwell's stubborn mutiny as an official scandal, which must im pair the public reppect for an administration thus divided against itself, and hanging out its dissensions to the gaze of the world. All men with a reasonable sense of decorum will say that Boutwell ought not to submit to the treatment or Urant, nor Grant to the in science of Boutwell. If Boutwell does not resign, and Grant, on his failure to resign, does not turn him out, both will be contemp tible. Urant is evidently manreuvring to force a resignation; but Boutwell not only refuscB to take the hint, but makes a display of insubordination and resentment. This is the unlikeliest expedient he could adopt for recovering the confidence and consideration of the President. He is only putting off the evil day, and making it certain that if he does not co out of the Cabinet voluntarily he will be forced out. He has been surprisingly slow in taking plain hints. When the President tried to have a new execu tive department created to be called the Department of Revenue, with a new Cabinet officer at the head of it, Boutwell might have seen that ne had lost General Grant scon a dence. It was a proposal to strip the Secre tary of the .treasury of all his effective patronage and make him a mere disbursing fcmcer and custodian oi the publio funds, But this roundabout, strategio method showed that Grant feared 13outwell as well as disliked him; and from this symptom of fear the latter took encouragement. Ho drew the inference, not unwarranted by the circumstances, that if Grant dared to remove, he would not thus undertake to circumvent, him. He has there fore held on, in spite of the President's obvious wishes. Boutwell's strong point with the party, and and the ground both of his confidence and the President's jealousy, is the use that has been made of his debt-paying policy in the elections of the last year. It is the only thing of which the Republicans have ventured to make an electioneering boast. On every other point the supporters of the administra tion have been on the defensive; and it must have mortified Grant to find that the only topio of eulogy was a matter with which he had nothing to do. Moreover, some of the publio journals have talked of Boutwell as a possible candidate for the Presidency, and the last thing that General Grant is dis posed to tolerate is a man in the Cabinet with Presidential aspirations. Bnt the general chorus of praise raised by the Re publican journals on the publication of each monthly statement of the publio debt renders Boutwell's removal difficult, and explains the Persident's attempts to extort a resignation by affronts and humiliation. The inoome tax demonstrations must have so widened the breach as to render it irreparable, and the alienation of feeling makes it impossible that Boutwell should remain long in the Cabinet. It is essential to Grant's prospects that the enormous patronage of the Treasury Depart ment should be in the hands of a staunch, zealous friend; and unless Boutwell thinks a few months' salary an object, he had better submit at once to hid doom by a voluntary resignation.
