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.

FIRE AND BURGLAR PROOF SAFE
BANK ROBBERY!!
Quite a startling affair has transpired,
An old Bank circumvented and bled I
And by devilish canning Inspired
Thieves are datly Improving their trade.
Not a house In the land Is secure
With a safe made but ten years ago! .
For thescoandrels select what is sure
To be entered by jimmy and crow.
But there 1 a defense against all
The devices and skill of the crew,
Marvin's Bckglar-Pkoof Sirs has a wall
Their Inventions can never go through.
And let every man see to it NOW,
That his money Is put In a place
Where our Burglar Safe will cot allow
Any boyut foliccman a spaca.
