TREASURY LEAKS.
From the Ar. Y, Tribune.
Ihere are good, honest people who wonder
why bo much ado ia made about a certain ex
penditure. "It ia ODly $"i)00" (or $50,000,
or $100,000, as the case may be), they inno
cently remark; .and they cannot see why so
b nail a Bum should excite so great a clamor.
The reason is not ho much that this sum has
gone, but that so many other nam1) are sure
to go after it sucked down by the mrelstrom
caused by the disappearance of this. Natu
ralists, given a small bone, will reooustrnot
therefrom some gignntio beast of a long-past
era; and Treasury, leeches, given a presi
dent, will empty a sub-treasury mo9t expedi
tiously. The National Republican thus dilates on
the failure of Congress to appropriate money
wherewith to enlarge the grounds which sur
roundand setoff the Capitol:
The extension of the Capitol grounds ought to
have commended Itself quite as much to members
of UoDgress, who are never tired of admiring the
Capitol building, as to the people of Washington.
Every one will concede that the present surround.
IngB of this, tne most beautiful and imposing struc
ture In the world, are not In harmony as a setting
for such a gem of architecture. The Araerloau
people are nut so entirely wanting In taste and rplrit
as to stop short, after an expenditure of $12,000,000
oa their greatest and proudest public edifice, to
connt the trifling expense of placing It In fitting
frame. As far as the park Is concerned, the sum of
$100,000 seems to us, In view of the fact that this is
the capital of the richest nation on the globe, a very
small amount to make so muoh bones about."
Here, yon see, the fact that $12,000,000
have been lavished on the Capitol is urged
as a reason, not for frugality in any quarter,
bat for spending more in the purchase and
fitting np extensive grounds and fitting up
of extensive grounds adjacent thereto. Then
Washington wants a Park, and remembers
that this is "the richest nation on the globe."
and so ought to be ashamed of not paying
$100,000 towards suoh Park, well knowing
that millions must follow. It does not ooour
to the Federal City that people who are
heavily taxed for Parks in their own cities,
or obliged to go without, should object to
being further taxed to make a park wbereby
the value of Washington lots and houses shall
be enhanced at the national cost.
Perhaps we are a rich nation. We cer
tainly have a debt that would ill beoome
a poor one. But we are not so rioh that our
taxes do not gall us; and, when we have paid
for laying out, Be we ring, grading, paving,
lighting, etc etc., our own streets, we can
not see why we should be taxed again to ren -
der the same good service to the streets of
another city and the homes of her people,
No, we don't see it.
PHILADELPHIA'S WAY TO COMMERCE.
From the Wilmington Del.) Commercial.
As a manufacturing city Philadelphia is
already great, but 'vher press and people long
also lor commercial greatness. Tnis desire,
we believe, may be gratified, and never was
there a time more auspicious for successful
effort in this direction than the present. Her
great rival, New York, is almost throttled by
tne mugs wno control ner municipal govern
tnent; her business is crippled with laok of
publio confidence in her commercial honor,
caused by the insolent disturbance of her
money market by speculative gamblers and
financial charlatans; while her carrying trade,
to and from tne west, lias come to be con
sidered the legitimate spoil of warring rail
road and canal rings.
Philadelphia s commercial honor, on the
other hand, is beyond reproach; her financiers
are men of national reputation and known
integrity, wnile her Western carrying trade is
in the hands of a giant corporation, which
fouls not its hands with speculating in its own
Btooks, but oonfines itself to its legitimate
business and brings to the prosecution of that
business a far-reaching, comprehensive saga
city which pours tne tramo of naif a conti
sent over its rails. - '
But to be a great commercial city, Philadel
phia must nave foreign trade. Here New
York has the Inside traok, and believes she
can keep it forever. Why ? Because New
York has a good harbor, accessible at all sea
sons of the year, and Philadelphia has not !
Pbiladelphians, as a rule, either fly into ' a
passion and indignantly deny tms fact, or
quietly itraore it, in disoussing the question
of their commercial future. This is not the
part of wisdom. There is no commercial
future for them until they look this appa
rently disagreeable fact squarely in the face,
and shape their policy accordingly. Thev
must strip themselves of the narrowness and
provincialism with whioh they have too justly
been reproached, and extend at onoe their
ideas and their sphere of action. They
must regard tne Delaware river as a whole,
and utilize whatever portion of its magnifi
cent harbor is best adapted for commerce,
whether that portion lie within or without
their present municipal limits.
We know that such a policy would be at
onoe denounced by many as building up other
places with Philadelphia capital without any
return to that city, but a little reflection
will convince any thinking person that this
would not he true. Philadelphia can, if she
chooses, forever remain the oentre of the
trade and commerce of the whole Delaware
river region, not on aooount of her looation
for that is probably a mistake out because
she has the start, and has the capital to main-
tain that advantage, (situation is important,
-without doubt, but New York's fine harbor did
not alone make her the commercial metropo
lis of the Republic; Norfolk has as good a
harbor, and yet she languishes, and Beaufort
has a better, it is said, and is little more than
a village. New York by canals first, and
railroads afterwards, made her harbor the
point where the products of the interior most
readily met the commerce of the
ocean, and became at once the first
of American citizens. The other places as
well situated had not the energy or the capi
tal necessary to accomplish this, and their
greatness is a thing too far in the future to
be even a matter of interesting speculation
A . m . A A A
- 10 tne people oi tuis generation.
Philadelphia had, however, the energy and
tne capital to establish as great avenues to
the trade of the interior as did New York,
and she did It. Her mistake was that Bhe
failed to make this inland traffio meet her
ooean commeroe at the most accessible point.
and her commerce died. When she has the
courage and the wisdom to correct her mis
take that commerce will revive.
All things, at present, combine to give her
a magnificent opportunity, and her action in
this steamship project will show whether or
not she has gained the wisdom to achieve
greatness. If she subscribes liberally, if she
builds her ships in whatever American 'yards
they can be built best ana cheapest, with
Pennsylvania's own iron, and if, when her
own harbor is ice locked, she runs them to
another, always easily kept free, and many
miles nearer thes ea, she will take the first
and decisive step toward making herself the
Greatest, as well as the most distinctively
American, of Amerioan cities.
GREAT AND LITTLE CORPORATIONS.
From the N. Y. World.
When Mr. Lemuel Gulliver took his after
noon nap he found himself on waking tied
- - ... 1 n i
band and foot, and aitnougu eaon niament
was very tiny they sufficed to bind him to the
ground, or at least compelled him to struggle
to get free. Such just now seems to be,
thoueh in varying forms, the awakening of
Pennsylvania and Virginia the one a vigor
ous, well-fed, plethoric giant, gorged with
Bhoddy; the other an invalid, with blood en
feebled and vigor tern my abated. Uovernor
Geary starts from his Biumberswith an ac
tual shriek. It seems that inr those years of
placid enjoyment which, since the day
when, made bankrupt by a great cor
poration which she nursed, she re
fused to pay her interest, have rolled
over Pennsylvania, there has been growing
up within her borders a crop of bodies poll-
tio which, with specious promises to the
State of taxes on dividends, and to the citizen
of development of resources and faoility of
transit, have step by step been appropriat
ing to themselves vast and dangerous
Eowers. This ranK and poisonous growth
as of course been stimulated by the hot com
post which protection has heaped about its
roots, until at last the combined powers of
production and corporate privilege overbear
political independence, and the State finds
itself helpless at their feet. This, according
to the fact as well as Governor Geary's frantic
utterances, is exactly the state of things
at this moment in eastern rennsyi
vania; and the very sensible though comically
lawyer-like letter of his Attorney-General
reveals the legislative and judicial contri
vances by which, year after year, this has
come to pass. When the legislature limits
the tolls the companies get up a little conve
nient litigation, and the judioiary, in its
simplicity, decides that "toll" does not
mean "freight;" and so when the time
comes, as now, that produoing and transit
corporations find it to their advantage to
combine to crush the industrial interest pro
per, their powers to do so are found to be
illimitable, and the Governor and the Legisla
ture are helpless, lhis is one of the corpora
tion crises which threaten Pennsylvania. Its
sources are the companies operating in the
eastern part of the Commonwealth, and
mainly those leading to and from the anthra
cite regions watered by the bchuylkill and the
Lehigh. Their power of mischief is not di
minished by the concession that they are in
the main solvent corporations the capital in
one instance cnieny owned abroad.
But the stertorous slumber of Pennsylvania
betrays a heavier nightmare than this. There
is a corporation whioh, unlike the Readme
and the Lehigh,entitles, "bestrides no narrow
world," but stands over the citizens of a once
free commonwealth literally
"Like a colossus ; and they, petty men,
walk under Its huge legs, and peep about
To find themselvesdishonorable graves."
Such is that giant corporation as to which
we have more than once uttered words of
warning, and as to which Pennsylvania dares
not speak. We have said why we are re
motely interested, and shall not repeat it.
It owns the Legislature, be its politics what
it may. If it needs statutory help, it issues
an order and is at once obeyed. If it does
not suit its convenience to have these amen
datory statutes published in the body of the
publio laws, they are hidden in an appendix.
It has the absolute control of Senators at
Washington; and we have at this moment the
indecent speotaole of a bill pressed through
Congress at the bidding of this corporation
to build a bridge across the great river at
Cincinnati which the whole Ohio delegation
tell us will be fatal to the interests of naviga
tion. Thus conscious of power and thus un
checked, it too, li&e the pigmy coal compa
nies, taxes the tone or defiance, and this too
in a way which gives the action an interest of
a very wide scope indeed. No one will deny
that the maintenance of the publio faith of
Pennsylvania its bonds scattered every
where is matter of general interest. Thus
is it affected.
We are not of those who believe in the
magio of sinking funds, or indeed in sinking
funds at all. Bad as is Mr. isoutweU s policy,
it is better than the mockery of a fund to be
made available by and by, and in the mean
time to be subject to all manner of risks; but
all will agree that if there be a sinking f and
it ought not to be sported with. Years ago
Pennsylvania created a sinking fund, which
now, as near as we understand it, amounts to
about $0,500,000, and was supposed to be
invested in safe and available securi
ties. Governor Geary, so believing, re-
oommended its realization and a propor
tionate debt liquidation. But lo! when it
comes to be examined (and this we derive
from the report of a committee of the Legis
lature) it turns out, if not a mere myth
whioh we are far from asserting yet a most
unavailable and lnseoure dependence. "Bri
areus" has m'ade "ducks and drakes" of it,
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company years
ago bought the puoiio woras or Pennsylvania,
and paid for them in its own or other first
mortgage bonds, in the lapse of time it
suited them to make a different arrangement,
and the rescript was issued, and an act in
March, 18G1, passed, by which the bonds
were merged into some sort of a oontraot by
which the principal debt was turned into
a collateral; and now, when the Governor
wants to sell, he finds his stocks on
hand unmarketable, and the actual debtor to
the State the purchaser for nothing of the
publio works master of the position. Now,
we are by no means prepared to say that
Governor Geary's policy of sale is the wisest,
bet it is very far beyond our nnite compre
hension that it should be frustrated by the
discovery of the utter unavailability of his
assets, and this through the agenoy and secret
manipulations of a creature of the law. When
Mr. Attorney-General Brewster comes to ex
amine these statutes (if he is ever allowed to
see them) he will find a more desperate state
of things than among the coal companies
This, then, is the great corporation whioh,
governing Pennsylvania, is intriguing in New
Jersey whose integrity has thus far proved
steady and boldly invading Virginia. The
state of things in Virginia, as represented to
us on all sides, is simply deplorable
TnE DUTY OP PRESIDENT GRANT.
From the K. Y.Sun.
While it is but rife tit and just that great
forbearance and charity should be shown in
our treatment of those Indian tribes that are
disposed to cultivate amicable relations with
us, especially as some of them have un
doubtedly suffered grievous wrongs at our
hands, there are other tribes that deserel no
such consideration. We mean those that,
without provocation, have always beea the
ur relenting enemies of the whole white race,
and have never omitted an opportunity to
practice infernal tortures and cruelties upon
those of our countrymen and countrywomen
who nave had the misfortune to fall into their
bands.
Conspicuous among these cruel and im
placable savages are the Apaohes, a tribe
that may be justly termed the Ishmaelites of
America, since they are as deadly foes of the
friendly tribes of Indians as they are of the
whites themselves, inese wretches nave,
within the last month or two, overrun most
of the civilized part of Arizona, not only
committing depredations, but the most
frightful murders and atrocities upon settlers
in places that have been considered safe for
years; and they have been allowed to perpe
trate, these outrages comparatively un
checked. For such inhuman monsters as the
Apaches there should be no mercy. They
should be utterly exterminated from the face
of the earth if they cannot be overoome in
any better way
It will be well for President Grant since
Congress will not allow Arizona to be aban
doned to the savages to take immediate
measures to afford the pioneers of civilization
tbere adequate protection. The people may
be bumbupged by a policy whioh, by giving
to philanthropists prominent places in con
nection with Indian affairs without corres
ponding authority, has served as a cloak for
the most scandalous frauds upon the Indians
and upon the tax-payers of the country; but
such a policy, whether real or only pretended,
will not meet the requirements of this emer
gency, u the President has the power to
' send a fleet of war vessels, in the interest of
ring of speculators, to overawe a people
with whom we are supposed to sustain
friendly relations, he can surely order two or
three regiments of cavalry to Arizona, in
addition to the troops now there, to protect
the settlers from the ravages of an enemy as
brutal as the fiercest beasts of prey and more
relentless.
SHALL CUBA BE DESTROYED?
From the S. T. Sun.
Notwithstanding the assertion so persist
ently disseminated by the Spanish officials in
Cuba that the revolution is on its last legs, a
few facts which these same officials have of
late carelessly permitted to reach the outer
world, through their own organs, completely
disprove all their former statements. The
celebrated battle which General Jordan won
over the Spaniards in Camaguey on New
Year's day a year ago has been cast into the
shade by more than one recent conflict. More
numerous bodies of armed men have beeu
engaged on either side; and the acknowledged
lof s of the Spanish forces, 1G0 in one fight,
is far greater than any they ever confessed
before. The war therefore is progressing,
and the executions on both sides prove that
it has lost nothing of that ferocious character
which more than once since its commence
ment has caused the civilized world to shud
der, and excited discussion in various legisla
tive assemblies.
Some time since President Grant in a mes
sage to Congress described this war as an
"exterminating one; and inasmuch as the
shooting of prisoners seems to be general,
the term is not misapplied. Apart from the
fearful sacrifice of human life, to which there
is no conceivable limit short of the extermi
nation of the combatants on one or the other
Bide, the advancing devastation of what was
lately one of the most productive of cultivated
countries is exciting , considerable alarm
among other nations. The Span
iards burn and destroy every village or assem
blage of huts or clearing from which they
drive the Cubans, trusting that the impossi
bility of obtaining the neoessaries of life may
induce them to surrender; while the Cubans
publicly proolaim that they expeot to win
their independence as much by the torch as
by the sword. It is, they say, only by means
of the productions of the soil of Cuba that
Spain is enabled to war against its sons.
When the war broke out (Juba was pro
ducing, with a population of something less
than two millions of people, the value of
about two hundred and fifty million dollars a
year. The industries of which this enormous
sum was the produot were about equally
divided between the cities and the country,
that is to say, between manufacturing and
sericulture. Of the thirty million acres
which Cuba contains, only some two and a
half millions are devoted to sugar cane, to
bacco, coffee, and other exportable crops; the
remainder consists of pasturage and forests.
Of course, the war has greatly diminished
the produce of Cuba, and as the island for
merly furnished about half of all the sugar
made on the globe, it is patent that its value
to the outside world has greatly decreased:
while it is self-evident that if the war be not
stopped, or its character mitigated, the island
will ere long be converted into a desert.
This war has now been waged for nearly
thirty months. How long is Christian civili
zation to stand coldly by and passively
auet it r
International law and publio opinion foroed
England, Iranoe, and Russia to interfere in
favor of the independence of Greeoe. What
was the duty of the civilized cations of En
rope in 1827 in regard to Greece is manifestly
the duty of America and Americans to-day in
regard to Cuba. Let those politicians, pa
triots, and pseudo-philanthropists who object
to intervention in Cuba on the plea of
"manifest destiny," take warning from the
condition of devastated and depopulated San
Uomingo. binoe emancipation, tropioal agrl
cultural products and the means of their pro
duction should be very carefully dealt with.
If we wait a little longer, the Cuban pear will
be not ripe but rotten when it falls.
PREPARATIONS FOR THE PRESIDEN
TIAL ELECTION.
From the K. Y, Timet,
While Republicans are satisfying them
selves that there is no need to talk about the
Presidential election just yet, the Demoorats,
with their usual activity, are leaving no scone
unturned to render their preparations for the
contest perfect in all directions. Kotmng, of
course, could euit their plans better than the
present attitude of the Republican party,
The issue of Free Trade vs. Protection is
arraying one section of the party against the
other: personal grievances here and mere
are elevated into national importance;
and in the "Empire State the pros
pect is particularly encouraging for
the Democrats, because they have
large number of leading Republicans in their
employment, and can safely reckon on receiv
ing their very bebt services. It is always an
advantage to have Boies in the camp of the
enemy. There is probably no Democrat ex
tant who has the least doubt about which way
New York will co in the Presidential election.
What they cannot get by their own strength
they expect to gain through the feuds of their
adversaries.
The South, it is confidently anticipated.
ill go bodily for Tammany, ana money wu
be freely poured into that quarter as soon as
the signal is given from headquarters
Active exertions are already being made in
the West, and several new journals have
been started for the purpose of getting
the exalted truth into the minds of
the people that John T. Hoffman is the only
man who can really save the country. The
tax-payers of New York kindly provide the
money for this great missionary enterprise.
No one supposes that the money raised here
is devoted to the service of the publio if it
were, we should not be able to boast of
having the worst paved and the worst lit
streets in the civilized world. Some of this
money goes to enrich ex-bankrupt chair
makers and adventurers from "ould Ire
land," and a part of it is prudently devoted
to the consolidation of the new power whioh
has been built up among us during the last
few years. No one can fail to see that it
would be a capital investment for the Demo
crats to spend a few millions in winning the
next contest for the Presidency. With Hoff
man in the White House, it is very difnouU
to say what might cot be done for the eleva
tion of mankind. The system under whioh
New York is governed, and which gives so
much satisfaction to the Evening Post and
many respectable citizens, might then be ap
plied to the cation at large, and the blessings
of free government be for the first time
enjoyed, and the regeneration of the speoies
finally acsomplished. Where there are
now two or three corrupt judges there
might be soon two or threescore, and
a state of things would arise to whioh the
annals of Rome in its later days would afford
no parallel. This is naturally an inspiring
tbeught for any true Democrat, aa Democrats
go nowadays, and we cannot wonder that the
party is extremely well pleased to see itepub-
licans saying with Dr. Watts' sluggard, "You
have woke me too soon, let me slumber
again. under our new patron saint, the
blessed Saint Patrick himself (whose life has
been most obligingly forwarded to our offioe,
as one step toward converting the heathen),
we may confidently look for an era of which
George Washington and other old-fashioned
patriots never dreamed.
In the meantime, however, we hoDO there
are some people here and there who will keep
their attention fixed on what 4s going on ia
several parts of the country. As Democratio
principles once more gain ascendancy in the
South, the spirit of lool is reviving. Ttro
nearer the Democrats approach to power the
more is the South disposed to shake off the
iceubus which the war left upon it. Let Hoff
man be eleoted, and the work of Union men
will be undone as fast as local ciroumstanoes
will permit. There is not much excuse for our
deceiving ourselves on this score. "The war
is cot over, cried the Kebels and their sym-
Dftthizers in 1865. and we mav be crettv sure
i : ' .
they meant what they said. They are already
giving us a taste of what we may expect
when Republican apathy and Republican
quarrels have allowed Hoffman to slip into
the President's chair. In our opinion, the
country needs the Republican party now as
much as it did during the years of the war.
but we are aware that this opinion is not
snared by many Republican leaders. It is a
suicidal policy for Republicans to go on

but then it happens to be the policy much
in vogue just now, and of course the Demo
crats are very eager to pat the combatants
on the back. There are many Republicans
to-day who would prefer the Demoorats and
free trade to their own party and protection.
There are others who think that the whole
duty of man in the present year of grace fs to
keep up a constant nagging at President
Grant. It is all very hne to say that the
"heart" of the country is "sound," but great
causes have ere now been entirely ruined by
a much smaller degree of carelessness and
indifference to publio questions than we now
find prevailing. If Senator Sumner would
give us his views on this subject, he might
do greater service, and act more in accord
ance with the high reputation whioh he en
joys, than by concentrating all his thoughts
on Ban Domingo.
