A BLOW AT THE SUBSIDV MONQEltS.
Vrtm the A'. Y. Sun.
The Senate astounded the subsidy mongers
on Monday by its vote of :$2 to 17 against the
proposed grant of a million a year to the
Taoifio Mail Steamship Company. They had
confidently counted on carrying through
their scheme, and could in advance name
their men and their majority in favor of this
fratnity. Their favorite plan of operations
ad been to ignore argument, and work be
hind the back of the publio, trusting to great
capital, great connections, great social and
pecuniary forces, skilfully marshalled, to ac
complish their ends.
The result is encouraging, because it shows
the force of ideas over blandishments, oven
in a scheme which can be no manipulated as
to induce the co-operation of other interests
which want aid in similar enterprising raids
on the Treasury, as well as to seoure the
support which comes of appeala to individual
oupidity. It is always the oonfident assump
tion of a certain class of sanguine operators
that measures can be carried, and are on the
point of being carried, just at the precise mo
ment of time when the abstract considera
tions governing the particular case are
slowly bnt surely combining to explode these
expectations into fragments. This resul
was pre-emineatly shown in the present
case. The silent force of argumentative jus
tice, which had been ignored throughout in
this instance, came in at the last to pros
trate and crush hopes and anticipations
which ought never to have been eater
tained.
But there is always an army besieging the
Treasury with a view to plunder, especially
whenever it is full to overflowing, as it now
is; and no sooner is one division beaten back
than another, like the successive waves of
the tide, comes to replace it. The Treasury
plunderers are a constant and eternal foroe,
requiring an eternal hostility and a vigilance
that never sleeps.
The sound and statesmanlike way of light
ening the labors of those who defend the
Treasury is to create conditions that unnerve
and weaken the attacking foes. The simplest
and readiest method of doing this, is to have
Bo money in the Treasury to tempt cupidity
and avarice. There would be no robbers if
there was nothing to rob. Let the revenues
ef the country be reduced to the lowest point
consistent with the ability to pay current and
inexorable liabilities, so that every new claim
for money shall involve new taxes, and the
claimants will be fewer and less clamorous in
their demands. This policy serves all occa
sions. It will' do for the subsidy mongers
among the rest; and as a general safeguard
against their operations, it is better than the
arguments and the logio by which they have
been so unceremoniously floored on the pre
sent occasion.
SAVINGS NO LONGEIl SAFE.
Prom the X. Y. Tribune.
Several of the finer buildings in this city
and Brooklyn erected during the past few
years, or now in process of construction, are
for the use of savings banks. TMa outward
show, so different from the modest policy of
those institutions in former years, when a
hired oflice not much superior to the shops
of the immediate neighborhood answered
everv purpose, has been forced upon them
as, to some extent, a measure of self-preser
vation. A knot of politicians at Albany has
of late years put forth each winter some
new form of endeavor to seize the funds of
the savings banks; more recently concen
trating its efforts to get hold of what is
denominated the "surplus," and as, each
rear, these demonstrations became more
alarming, the banks have to some extent in
vested their surplus in their buildings, so as
to have so much, at least, out of harm's way.
Except technically, however, this surplus can-
not be said to belonc to the banks any more
than the rest of the deposits in their hands.
Thev are but the trustees, whether as to prin
cipal, or interest, or accumulation over in
terest, of the money 01 ineir depositors.
Those depositors are almost exclusively work.
ingmen and workingwomen; and it may be
said without exaeeeration that these build-
ices the savings of Saving Banks represent
in every uricK ana stone me ious, me priva
tions, the hardships of the laboring classes.
But the appetitesof the ring will no longer
be restrained. Thev prepared legislation to
seize the unclaimed deposits, but on exami
nation these dwindled into thin air, the
largest bank reporting that not $1000 was
likely to be utterly unclaimed. At present
the ring especially want something to supply
the too evident leak in the canal manage
ment, and a bill for confiscating to the canal

surplus is before the Legislature. Of course,
the other half of this surplus will soon f ol
low, and then the deposits. In almost the
first experience of savings banks it was found
necessarv to set aside some funds for fear
of a "run," and the keeping of a surplus
for this
authorized
contingency was specifically
bv the Legislature because of its
obvious necessity. The money of these in
stitutions is largely invested in permanent
securities, to realize cash upon which in a
week, or even a month, would be difficult if
not impossible. But no such time is allowed
during a "run." In one instance half the
entire deposits of a large savings bank were
drawn out in two days, during an unfounded
panic with regard to its management; but the
other banks, being able to lend to it their
surplus funds, sustained it through the
danger, and thus the depositors and the
community were saved from the disaster of a
general panic
Other portions of the bill now pending are
calculated to prevent respectable citizens from
connecting themselves with the further man
agement of savings banks; to cripple the judi
cious and pre-eminently success ai system by
wnicu these banks are conducted; ana, in
general, to make them a part of the politioal
macnine by which this btate is controlled,
Not the leit of the destructive results which
must follow the execution of such enaotments
would be the withdrawal of an immense

may be killed in an hour. Let the State 8tep
in and coiifiHcate such property, aud in 1 u
trions economy will be thenceforth unknown,
and a condition of affaire ensue like that
under Ottoman rule. "When things come to
the worst," says the proverb, "they must
mend." In this is our nope, for surely they
are nearine the worst with frightful velocity.
It is not enough that every man who
owns a foot of land shall find the
trail of Tammanv across it. It is not
enough that the lUng Bhall twine around all
publio improvements of the State It is not
enough to find the slime of the reptile in our
pleasure cronnds and our streets. The poor
laborer must be directly muloted of his hard-
earned Ravings. The women, married ana
unmarried, that skim from their scanty earn-,
ings a trifle "against a rainy day," must
assist in feeding this odious monster. It is
the boast of Tammany that its- strength is
amone the poorer classes. Yet we can but
rjitv them, even if it be true that by their
votes they have put the King in power, even
as we pity tne poor nind, who, picking up a
serpent benumbed by the cold, warmed it to
life in his bosom and was stung by it to the
heart.
THE 1RIUMPIIAL ENTllY OF THE GER
MANS INTO PARIS.
From the K Y. Uerald.
The Germans have entered Paris. So far
as we know at a late hour, while we write,
the Parisians have not behaved so badly as
some have been trying to make us believe
they would. The Germans have had their
triumph a triumph which a high philosophy
must despise; but, things being as they are,
it is gratifying to know that the affair went
off in such a manner as revealed a fair amount
of common sense on both sides. The Ger
mans are in Paris and Paris is not in flames.
The Germans have had their triumph a tri
umph to which they were fairly entitled; but
Paris, so far as we know the facts, has yielded
to the influence of wisdom and has given
proof that she was not, after all, a bad re.
presentative ol tne concentrated common
sense of the world.
So far this is good. Bat the news from
Bordeaux is more important than the news
from Paris. It is well known to our readers
that the National Assembly appointed M.
Thiers and Jules Favre to act as the repre
sentatives of France at the Prussian Court of
Versailles that M. Thiers and Jules Favra in
their difficulties had the assistance of a large
consultative committee, ana tuat tnese con
joint powers were authorized to sign the pre
liminaries of peace. The preliminaries of
peace agreed to by M. Thiers and M. Favre,
we now know, endorsed by the consultative
committee unanimously, have been accepted
by the National Assembly by an overwhelm
ing majority, two most important points are
tnus gained Pans has not gone mad because
ner uerman conquerors have insisted on
seeing her beauties, and the National Assem
bly has not rebelled against tne Uerman
terms of peace, in other words, the Uer
mans are now in Paris and France lias ac
cepted the arrangements made by MM,
Thiers and Favre ttnd the consultative com
mittee of the Assembly.
Few, very few, who have been students of
this war from its commencement until now,
will be sorry that things are as tney are
to-dav.
Ine war is ended, ine line is drawn be
tween the past and the present; and a new
era for Europe and the world offers itself for
our consideration. In so far as the past is
concerned no one can refuse to admit that
France has had her desei ts, and that the Pa
risians, properly so called, have no cause of
complaint. The French people made this
war a necessity even more tnan the foolisu
traditions associated with the house of Bona
parte or with the first republic The neces
sity was French and French only. The result
of the war has proved that if France had been
wise she would have recognized no sucn ne
cessity. Germany was not interfering with
France or French affairs when the eleoted
chief of the French people declared war upon
her. As Franoe began the war France has no
reason to complain that the war
has turned out to her hurt,
War is always, or ongnt to be, a
doubtful game, and those who proclaim it
ought to be prepared to abide by tne conse
quences. not tne tmra time in loss man
sixty years Paris is oocupied by the stranger
and the conqueror, liut l'aris lias no just
cause of complaint. The Parisians, like the
rest of France, were responsible for the war.
If France had been Buooessful, the Parisians,
like the rest of Franoe, would have insisted
not only on the acquisition of territory, but
on the right of the French army to enter
Berlin. If Paris to-day is partially in the
hands of the invader, the Parisians oHght to
remember that the time has been when they
had not much mercy on Rome, on Milan, on
Vienna, on Rerun, and on Moscow of pamfnl
memory. The tables are turned, bat the
French people as a whole, and the Parisians
as a special unit, have no good reason to
object to the principle, whatever they ma j
think of the fact. All tnings considered,
they ought rather to be grateful than other
wise for the comparative clemency or the
conqueror.
The humiliation of Jb ranee, now assented by
the National Assembly, opens up fresh ques
tions which are full of interest to all men
everywhere who take any interest in the wel
fare of nations and the future of mankind. It
is not to be denied that, unless some unfore
seen circumstances should arise, Franoe must
be contented for at least half a century to take
a secondary plaoe in the European system of
nations. France under Napoleon III made
Italy a great nation. The policy which made
Italy great humbled Austria, the proudest for
many centuries of all European monaromes,
and gave Prussia her opportunity. Italy is a
powerful unit. Austria is no longer at the
mercy of France. Germany, by the help of
Prussia, has found that autonomy for which for
many years she has been sighing and dying,
The enormous strength whioh Germany has
developed pushes Russia completely into the
background. This war has, in faot, not only
altered the complexion of Europe, bat
changed the destinies of nations and ma
terially affected the future history of the
world. It is fair, we think, to say that as an
aggressive power, in tnis most aggressive age,
France is, to all intents and purposes, dead.
It is as little unfair, we think, to say that
hitherto France has been felt to be a kind of
restraining power in the European system
That restraint is no more, and the question is,
ho w will the different nations of Europe act in
their new circumstances ? Will the weakness
of France encourage war and conquest, or
will it encourage peace and genuine develop.
mentr it is a I act patent to all intelligent
minds that if Prussia and Russia are agreed
they can divide between them the whole
north of Europe. Holland and Denmark are
still in the way of Prussian development, aud
Dweueu is to jvuktuii an inconvenient neigu
bor. Austria is wenk, because of her inter.
nal divisions, and Great Britain has praoti
cally ceased to be a continental power. Is
the humiliation of France to mark the com
mencement of an era of peace or to furnish
an ounortnnity for the triumph of vtcoa ' f
Wbo can tell 'i
All things taken into accjunt, we are not
disponed to act the part of the prophet of
evil tidings. We admit that the Rpirit of
conquest which drove Franoe into this war,
which has made Germany somewhat cruelly
exacting, which has made Italy regardless of
toe most sacred rights, is not highly encou
raging. At the same time we cannot deny
that, amid all the wild confusion and appa
rent anarchy, right has been prevailing and
important steps have been made in the
world's progress. War has been found
to be dreadfully expensive and
dreadfully destructive, as well as painfully
uncertain in its results. Publio opinion
world-wide publio opinion has revealed a
power which it was never supposed it could
possess. I he interests of humanity have been
found to be so much identified in all nations
and among all peoples that hope rather than
despair finds encouragement. The era is new,
full of doubt, full of danger, but not by any
means absolutely discouragiug. Let us hope
that, as one result of this war, the peoples
will learn that their interests are identical.
If this lesson is properly learned the new era
will be one of peace, not of war. Poor Frauce
may yet recover and find happier times than
she ever found before.
THE GREAT GAME OF GRAB.
From the London Saturday Review.
We believe it was an Irishman who de
clared that it was impossible for a ma a to be
in two places at once unless be was a bird.
The "Fenian exiles" who arrived lately at
New York ought to have been in at least three
places at once, in order to satisfy the various
competitors for the honor of entertaining
them. A delegation of K Lights of at. Pat
rick, the Tammany Committee, and Collector
Murphy are mentioned as contending over
the bodies of ODonovan Rossi and other
"patriot heroes" on board the stoamber Cuba.
Collector Murphy seems to have strangely con founded
his duty as the head of the Custom
House of New York with bis Fenian proclivi
ties. Bnt. indeed, there was such an out
pouring of sympathy and champagne that it
was perhaps inevitable that the collector
should be merged for the moment in the
Irishman. We are told that "Collector Mur
phy's revenue cutter Bronx hovered here and
there, with Major Haggerty and (ieneral F,
Millen, who were trying to capture the Fe
nians in order to secure the Irish voto." On
board this steamer ft :5.,000 in paper money
was ready for the patriots as soon as they
were ready to accept it. Another steamer,
chartered by the Knights of St. Patrick, was
also waiting for the refugees. The Tam
many Hall party, on board a third steamer,
"had secured the services of Dr. Uaruochan,
the Health Officer." Thus one political
party was prepared to put the Fenians into
quarantine, while the other held itself ready
to seize them as contraband goods. But of
course these extreme measures would only
have been adopted to prevent the opposite
party from carrying off the prize. It is diffi
cult to believe that tne New lork Licra'd,
when it describes the boarding of the Cuba
by these three steamers, is not covertly ridi
culing the effusive patriots. The band on
board the Tammany Hall steamer played the
"Star Spangled Banner, and every man
aboard began to screech and cheer as if he
were mad. This was very early in the pro
ceedings. Then came the "Wearing of the
Ureen, and more tremendous cheering.
Colonel Roberts proposed three cheers. Colo
nel De Courcy proposed three oheers. Richard
O'Gorman propo3ed three cheers. Everybody
proposed three cheers. Then rockets and
blue-lights were burned, and the band
played "St. Patrick's Day," and "the enthu
siasm reached its height." Then the steamer
boarded the Cuba, and there was "a savage
outburst of cheering, and the bands of the
exiles were energetically shaken. "Every
body leaped on board but the reporters, and
by the usual bad management of the police
they were kept off for naif an boar. This
perhaps is the most surprising feature in the
proceedings. We should nave expected that
the police, like the Custom House and the
Board of Health, would have become for the
moment either a Republican or Democratic
organization, but they really seem to have
done their duty; and if they stood for half an
hour between the reporter of a New York
journal and a steamer fresh from Europe, they
must have done it very well. "The scene in
the cabin all this time was of that nature
which it is impossible to describe" parti
cularly if the reporter who should have de
scribed it bad been excluded from both
ship and cabin by the polioe. But the ima
gined impossibility is quickly overcome by a
practised writer. He tells us that some men
cried ana others yelled tor joy, and when
Richard O'Gorman and Coroner Roberts got
into the cabin, "where the ladies were sitting
eating their second supper, the excitement
was most intense. The custom of a second
supper is probably peculiar to ladies who
make transatlantic voyages. We should
think that if the "intense excitement" affected
the ladies, they must have needed a supper
before going to bed. Richard O'Gorman
now offered the exiles the hospi
talities of Tammany Hall, and Colonel
Roberts spoke "in the most feeling
manner" of the money that had been collected
for them, and "alluded to the joy which he felt
in clasping their hands." So much for Tam
many Hall. The Knights of St. Patrick fol
lowed, and by the mouth of John Mullaly
offered hospitality irrespectively of party or
loliticB. Then came General Millen, of Col
ector Murphy's staff, who stated that he had
$ 37, 000 "in bills" ready for them, and
that he was there to represent the United
States, who offered their hospitalities. The
cautious statement that the money was "in
bills" hardly reconcilable with another
account of these proceedings, from whioh
we learn that Collector Murphy and
bis staff had prepared themselves
for the intense excitement of the evening by
a dinner at the Astor House, and under the in
fluence of good liquor had become oblivious
of the distinction between publio duty and
private sympathy. If indeed the hospitalities
of the United States were offered, we should
be inclined to think that Colleotor Murphy
was drunk, and General Millen was drunk,
and everybody was drunk; or perhaps, to put
it mildly, they were excited. Like the re
porter of the New York Herald, we
were not in the cabin of the Cuba
where the ladies were having their seoond
copper, and, like hiui, we can imagine what
occurred when the excitement became in
tense. The rposition of O Donovan Rossa
between the Republican and Demooratio de
putations may be compared to that of Captain
Macheath pulled hither and thither by his
rival mistresses. He and bN companions
would go neither to the Metropolitan Hotel
as guests of Tammany Hall, nor to the Astor
House as guests of Collector Murphy or the
United States, but they would stay on board
the bteaui6r:
How happy could I be with either,
W ere t'other dear charmer away ;
But now you both tease nie together,
To neither a word will 1 say."
The exiles retired to their own cabin, and
after au absence of three-quarters of an hour
gave a written answer to the above effect.
To make the parallel complete, each political
party in the Union proclaims its own honesty
and tne baseness oi its rival.
Next day, according to the same authority
"the grand grab game was still going on," or,
in other words, Tammany and the Collector
were still contending for the bodies of the
five Fenians. The city of New Y'ork was pre
paring to give them a magnificent reoeption,
and the claims of competing deputations
were referred to an official personage bearing
the tremendous title of Grand Marshal Brevet
Brigadier-General Tweed. The United Irish
men of 'Washington seem to be divided be
yond even this awful functionary's power of
reconciliation. Two delegations of five mem
bers each from this society demanded
places " in the reception. The
Grand Marshal Brevet Brigadier
General proceeded to allot ten places,
and supposed that he was giving satisfaction.
He wrb never more mistaken in the course of
his distinguished life. Captain Macheath
could doubtless have reconciled himself to
the presence of both his wives, but the diffi
culty would have been to reooncile his wives
to the presence of each other. One delega
tion of United Irishmen demanded that the
other delegation should be excluded, and on
this demand being refused, withdrew them
selves from the reception. A meeting of
Irish societies, held to consider "the meddle
and muddle" which had occurred the night
before on board the Cuba, declared their
"just indignation" at the proceedings
of Thomas Murphy, whom we take to be
the same person as the collector. They did not
mention Tammany, but we suspect that Tam
many was equally out of favor. The en
thusiasm was still tremendous, and the flow
of eloquence overwhelming. The United
Irishmen, or as many of them as could en
dure oue anotner s presence in tne same
room, presented an address to the Irish
patriots lately liberated from British dan-
geons. ''Some of us," said this address,
"like yourselves, were born under the dark
shadow of European despotism." The Fe
nian conspiracy was described as an attempt
to set Ireland like another star in the glorious
constellation of universal liberty. Its punish
ment was stated to afford a woful demonstra
tion of what "monarchical despotism" could
do to oppress the best and truest of the
human race. Another address, after welcoming
Rossa and his companions from ''British
dungeons and the chains of the tyrant" to the
free and hospitable shores of the great
American Republic, declared its gratitude to
the President of the United States, who, "in
the face of British authority, said, 'Let the
exiled Irish patriots have a first-class passage
to the land of the free and the home of the
brave.'" General Millen writes to say that
the Herald was incorrect in stating that he
offered a large sum of paper money to the
exiles on board the Cnba, and therefore the
statement which we have above transcribed
must be considered to belong to the imagi
native portion of the Jlerald's report of the
first day's proceedings. General Millen states
that he did not offer a dollar to the exiles, and
he thinks it would have been well if "a
similar consideration for their feelings" had
been shown by others.
Later intelligence leads to the belief that
Tammany will untimately win the affection
of the exiles, as the correspondent of an Eng
lish newspaper coarsely says "Tammany has
the most money," and therefore it appears
probable that some further outrage to the
feelings of the exiles may be perpetrated
We should not be in the least surprised if
they were to pocket the aff ront. Besides
political competitors for the honor of their
company, we learn that the proprietor of
Niblo's Garden bad waited npon them with
an invitation, wnicu, However, tney were
unable to accept. It is stated that Colleotor
Murphy has got into trouble at Washington
by his enthusiastic demonstration of
welcome to these Fenians, and it is to be
hoped that the American Government will in
struct its officers to abstain from hostile de
monstrations against a country with which it
is at peace. As regards the addresses of
sympathy and other curious compositions to
which we have referred, we suppose that
they gratify those who write and some of
those who read them. If President Grant
did say in the face of the British Govern
ment, . "Let the Fenians have firat-class
cabins, we should have been disposed to
allow him to pay their passage-money, by way
of exemplifying the hatred of tyranny
which actuates his countrymen. But
we were under the belief tint our
own government nad paid tne passage-
money of these Fenians, although it did not
provide them with hrst-class cabins. The
experiment of releasing them has turned
out exactly as might have-been expected, and
as, indeed, was eipected by everybody, ex
cept perhaps by Mr. Gladstone. It must be
remembered, however, in favor of the polioy
ot concession, that ll tnese t enians had not
been released, the instructive spectacle of
the "great game of grab" would not have
been exhibited. Intelligent Irishmen can
hardly fail to perceive that both at Tammany
Hall and Niblos Oarden remans are invited
for the profit of the proprietors.
