TUE DAILT KVENINO TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA' TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 1871.' SFXXXXT OT 7ZX7J FXTOSV. Eiltorfil Opinion of the Leading Journal! upon Current Toplos Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. THE HEAD OF MR. SUMNER. From the Richmond Enquirer. Mr. Charles Sumner has gone up! What difference does it make to ns? The fall of the great man may astound New England; but the management of the 'Government" is such that we in Virginia feel little interest in it. The idea which plain young men in the South, who have grown up since 1800, have of the United States Government is, that it collects taxes and appoints outrage commit tees. A lot of hungry creatures strangers to us go around periodically assessing and collecting taxes, prowling after whisky and tobacoo, and, associated with this impres sion, is a vague feeling that spies and lying wretches are gathering up testimony to lay before CoDgress with the object of giving us fresh trouble and vexation. What part or lot has the South (with trivial exceptions) in the excellent Government which we are said to enjoy? What represen tation have we got? Northern papers talk about "the Southern Senators, and when the matter is looked into, "the Southern Senators" are Mr. Wamer, of Alabama, Mr. Revels, of Mississippi, General Adelbert Ames, of Mississippi, Mr. Sawyer, of South Carolina, Mr. Harris, of Louisiana, Mr. Abi jah Gilbert, of Florida, etc. negroes and carpet-baggers. In the House of Represen tatives South Carolina has the happiness of being represented by four or Ave negroes; and yet, at the instance of an imported 'Governor," the 'Government" is preparing to send troops down there to strengthen the hands of the negro Legislature, which has everything its own way. Mr. Sumner or General Grant it Is all one to us. Senator Morton is as bitter as the dethroned chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs. The amount of their popularity, in their estimation, depends on which shall outstrip in the race of blackening and persecuting the South. The only inte rest we have In their quarrels is that it may help certain people "to get their daes." Mr. Sumner has been at the head of the Foreign Affairs Committee since 18G3, and we believe has exhibited a very considerable amount of ability in that position. He was never absent from his seat in the Senate has been always sober is a man of hard work and has been the Robespierre of the Revolution. It remains to be seen whether bringing him to the guillotine will be an end of the Reign of Terror. Mr. Sumner is not an amiable man, and we are afraid be is in a very bad humor. lie obviously "hung the wrong tom-cat" when he tackled Grant. The President never relin quishes a purpose, and is reckless of expendi ture in obtaining his object. With all the patronage at his disposal, the contest was a very unequal one for Mr. Sumner, who had nothing to stand on but his irreproachable propriety and his burning zeal as a hater of the South. It was the leverage of "the loaves and fishes" against influences purely moral. THE SOCIAL GEHENNA. 'Prom the K. Y. Tribune. ' The Saturday jtevieio, wmcn aengnts in dragging to light all diseases and weaknesses in the feminine ooay ana bovli, cas xauen lately on a promising cancer in what it deli cately calls "Drawing-Room Alcoholization." The London Lancet, treating the subject from the pbysioian's point of view, admits that the increasing prevalence of intem perance among eduoated English women is becoming alarming, and asserts that medioal men fail to see and act up to their duty in the matter. "A careful practitioner,'' it says, "should remember the peculiar sensitiveness of women during certain portions of their life to the influence of narcotics. Henoe, if he prescribes alcohol for them at all, it shonld not be for trivial ailments which are liable to recur frequently, and for which the patient will only be too ready to apply the agreeable remedv which was found so effloaoious be fore." The Lancet also urgently deprecates the practice of allowing young girls between the ages of fifteen and twenty to acquire the habit of taking a regular and often large quantity of wine on account of supposed delicacy. ,4The practice," it avers, "is utterly unjustified by any physiological need (in the absence of positive disease) and the results are most disastrous." It is worth our while to look at home aad see how this matter stands with us. There is such a tense of chivalry toward the weaker sex and faith in their purity among Ameri cans that a statement that drunkenness ex. isted to any appreciable amount among edu cated women would be received with disgust and incredulity. Yet there are certain facts which it is high time should be taken at once into the gravest consideration by bath the pulpit and the press. To physicians they are. unfortunately, but too familiar. Among these is the too large proportion of female pa tients in insane asylums, who have become so from the use of stimulants. Inebriate asylums for women have been lately established in this State and Pennsylvania, and are rilled out of the high ranks of society. The Amerioan fashionable woman, as we all know, drinks often, at her own table, wines of a strength which her European sister would not dare to touch. She "mixes ber liquors," too; in her teens is a connoisseur of champagne, deli cately sips sherry cobblers and Roman Euncnes; ana ail ims wan aer muoor we, er limp constitution, her bilious habit, and under climatic influences which to the strong. est man make alcohol a poison. There are certain quiet "ladies' restaurants" in all the seaboard cities, so r.quiet and modest in ap pearance that geutlemen are not tempted into them, wnere respectable women resort for the stimulant which is probably inaoces Bible at home. .Deaths from mama-a-potu have occurred this winter, and that not in the debased lower classes, but among cultured, aeiicately-reared women; some of thein young, generous, lovable girls. This is an ngiy ana almost incredible btory. If we did cot feel that the danger was imminent, we would not drag such foulness out from its bidden comers into the public air. ou ibi iuo wumeu who nave Biunea nave done so unconsciously or ignorautly. The hurry and struggle of life ia this country have told upon their phjgioal health far more than upon that of men. Tha over work, the baste to be nob, the iuodsaant effort to urge their husbands, their children, or themselves up to a higher plane of social life, together with that heredi tary lack of bodily staruf na and the high ner vous organization peouliar to American wo. men, all drive them te the use of artificial stimulants. The baby at the breast is dosed nightly with soothing syrups; the sickly school 'irl has her "drops" night and morning; while . , for the innumerable ailments of the married woman there is a mantel-shelf full of tonics, elixirs, and bitters, German and native, all warranted "free from a drop of alooholic miiture." Opium, in its artificial and crude slate, is used to an extent of which only physicians and druggiBts are aware. We have no hear to say one word of blame in view of this dis heartening reoord. "The sensation of sud den relief, ".snys the Lancet, "replacing aoute pain or nervous exhaustion, is exceedingly grateful to tired nd suffering women; and it is no wonder that by Bwift degrees they come to seek with avidity for this kind of oblivion." Whatever words of warning we bave to say to this class of women are offered with the sincerent pity. There is a class of female tipplers, how ever, for whom we have little compassion and no respect; the woulJ-be fashionable matrons and girls who not only drink themselves be cause they consider it en regie to do so, but urge stimulants upon men, not knowing nor caring whether it may not be death for them to touch them. Intelligent people are learn ing more of the physical effects of liquor. In the beet houses in New lork and Washington none was offered to the guests on last New Year's day a significant hint, which the vul- garer orders, let us nope, will aooept in time. Familiarity with cnampagne brands, we assure these aspiring matrons, will not lift tnem into the .brahmin class; and a young girl is never less attractive in the eyes of men than when 6he personates a Bacchante. Every man has a secret, pure, gracious ideal of a maiden and a mother; and a womanly woman at the wash-tub, in the market place, or on the rostrum, does - not destroy that fancy. But the belle of the ball-room, whirl ing half-naked in an immodest dance, her face unnaturally red, and the smell of liquor on her breath pah! "Give us an ounce of civet, cood apothecary, to sweeten our imaginations!" GENERAL GRANT, MR. SUMNER, AND ,yTHE REPUBLICAN PARTY. From the If. Y. Ilerald, The removal of Mr. Sumner, through the action of a Republican caucus, from his posi tion as chairman on Foreign Relations of the Senate, is, in a party view, the most import ant and momentous event, so far, of General Grant's administration. In bold relief it brings out General Grant in a new character as the recognized head or the Kepublican party. He ceases by this act to be the servant and becomes the acknowledged master of the Senate. He rises from the subordinate posi tion of Andrew Johnson to the commanding attitude of Andrew Jackson. He has been subject to the will of Mr. Sumner, as the great Republican oracle and dictator of the Senate; but with Sumner's removal the tables are turned and the President is master of the situation. Consternation prevails among the Conscript Fathers from this act of their own doiDg, and surprise, mortification, fear, and wrath are the prevailing expressions from the Republican journals far and near. They tell us that in this unwise removal of Mr. Sumner from the position which, with his learning, peculiar abilities, and great experience, he so admirably tilled, nothing but demoralization, divisions, and disasters can come to the party in power; that his opposition to the St. Do mingo scheme is justified by the general sen timent of the party; and that General Grant, in due season, will discover that in this thing be has committed a fatal blunder as a candi date for the Presidential succession. From the Democratic press, on the other hand, it is charged that prominent among the influences which bave brought about this re moval of Mr. Sumner from the Senate chair manship on Foreign Relations has been the influence of the British Minister with the President in reference to Mr. Sumner's un compromising attitude on the Alabama claims, considered in connection with the expected comprehensive treaty of peaoe be tween England and the United States from the Joint High Commission, and that Sum ner s displacement is, in fact, from the Pre sident and the Senate a concession in advance to England. Next, we are gravely informed that there has been no other such high-banded proceeding as this in the Senate against the bead of committee personally obnoxious to the President except in the case of Senator Douglas, who was removed from the head of me vemmutee uu Aernwuiiea uouauaa ui uis si -ii m : i : 1 - e , squatter sovereignty dogmas, on the requi sition of President Buchanan, in obedience to the wishes of the slaveholding oligarchy of the bouth. General Grant is warned, too, that as this removal of Douglas was the ruin of Buchanan and the Democratic party, so will be this removal of Sumner to the proseat administration and the Kepublican party. But all these are contracted views of the circumstances, the causes and probable con sequences of this displacement of Sumner from the bead of the all-important Senate committee at this juncture on foreign rela tions. The head of this conknittee, in his official relatiens with the President and Secre tary of State, may be considered a member ef the Cabinet. The Exooutive Department, with the Senate, is the treaty-making power. The head of this Senate committee on treaties and foreign appointments represents the Senate in the White House. But how can the President, after having been pub licly denounced in the Senate as a confederate of corrupt and reckless speculators in the St. Domingo scheme how can he hold these confidential relations with the Senator thus boldly aoousing him of corruption and perjury ? The truth is that in the suspension of the friendly per sonal relations which had existed between the President and the Senator, that mutual confidence which ought to prevail between them in their official intercourse was de stroyed. It cannot be forgotten that after President Johnson aeoused General Grant, in that famous correspondence on the Stan ton War Department imbroglio, witn da oeption and falsehood, . General Grant onTall occasions avoided the pretence of his accuser as far as possible, even in the dis cbarge of his official duties. How, then,' could he be expected to oveilook these graver charges of Senator Sumner? - There was no alternative for him but to demand a new head for the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela tions, especially in view of the momentoui and comprehensive internationl quest ion 1 now under discussion before the High Join1: Commission and the great "manifest destiny" programme of the administration. We think, too. that the case of Senator Sumner referable more the rupture between Calhoun and General Jaokon than the quarrel between Douglas and Buchanan. During jacKson s nrst term Calhoun was loe-Fresi. dent and President of the Senate, and in the positidu he soon began to show his hand as an aspirant for the Presidential succession. He Crbt afcsifcted in fomenting a social quarrel among the ladies of the Cabinet, which was carried at length se far that Jaokson found it necebsary to dismiss the whole ooncern. In setting rid of them Martin Van Buren, his Bcrttry of State, came bravely to the Gene ral's relief by setting the example of a reaig cation, which all the rest understood by promptly resigning. A new Cabinet followed; 1 but Jackson, in consideration of the good service of Van Buren in setting the Cabinet difficulty, appointed him Minister to Eng land; and so sure was Van Buren of a con firmation that he was in London before the Senate had acted upon his nomination. But when it was brought to the vote there was a tie, and the ice-President, Calhoun, as f resi dent of the Senate having the casting vote, cast it aginst Van Buren, and so he was re called, lint this vote was the ruin ot uai- boun; for in the Presidential eleotion of 1832 an Buren, acoording to Jackson s desire, was put on the ticket with him and elected for Vice-President, thus cutting out Calhoun as President of the Senate and from the line of the W hite House by the very man he had sought to disgrace. Incensed to any soueme A revenge, Cal houn next tried the rash exj eriment of South Carolina nullification against Jackson; but in this the bold agitator was promptly snuffed out by Old Hickory, with General Scott as bis peacemaker in South Carolina, under in structions, "By the Eternal," if they at tempted to violate the laws of the United States "to blow Charleston out of the water." From that day Calhoun became the aotive schemer for a Southern pro-slavery party, looking to disunion and a South ern confederacy. His last speech in the Senate, on the compromise measures of 1850, was a sort of prophecy of disunion. He died a disappointed man, but bis Southern disciples, filled with his South ern constitutional chop-logic, took up his grand ultimatum of a Southern confederacy, and among the first fruits of this movement we find from the Northern reaction the radi cal abolitionist of Massachusetts, Mr. Sum ner. made chairman on Foreign Relations in the United States Senate. This obange from Mason, that pugnacious slaveholder, subse quently of the Confederate States firm of Mason and Slidell, marks the praotical be ginning of the great revolution which, we may say, is finished with Sumner's removal from his post by his own party in the Senate. Sumner, at war with the administration, now takes the place of the factious Calhoun, as Massachusetts in the Government has taken the old dictatorial position of South Carolina. General Grant, the President, and the recognized head of his party, comes for ward, like Jackson, to enforce discipline as master of the camp. 'He has, above all, a grand programme marked out touching our international and commercial interests and our "manifest destiny." It embraces a com prehensive settlement of all our outstanding accounts with England on a solid basis of peace; a central position in the splendid island of St. Domingo for the absorption of the great trade of the West Indies, and a half-way house there for the vast squadrons of ships which, with the oponiDgof the Darien ship canal, will pass and repass between New York and the Pacific and the Oriental nations and islands of Asia. Mr. Sumner, as an impediment to all these grand designs, has been removed. The Republican party in the Senate has elected upon this issue to stand by the President, and there is no other oourse of safety to the party at large. Mr. Sumner and his friends may perhaps be strong enough to break down the administration and the party if they choose; but from Grant to the Democracy they will be out of the frying-pan into the fire. Still, there is great danger that this attempt of General Grant to introduce the discipline of a regular army into this free militia organi zation of the Republican party may break up the whole concern. The State election in New Hampshire to-day, we expect, will throw some light upon this subject. They bave bad time enough there to form a judg ment upon this removal of Sumner. The New Hampshire Republicans are intelligent men, and they fight for their party like old soldiers. If, therefore, to-day New Hampshire shall go for the Democracy, it will be a sign of an impending general Republi can break-up. Otherwise, it is probable that the sacrifice of Sumner will be accepted by the party as the casting of Jonah overboard an act required to save the ship. IS A TARIFF A DEFENSIBLE FORM OF TAXATION ? From the K. Y. World. The Cincinnati Commercial, in comment ing upon Air. J. b. Mills recent letter upon protection in the United States, says: "The British have simplified their revenue laws but have not free trade, and America needs above all things (after internal peace) free trade for the legitimate development of her natural resources. A distinction is here made between the strictly revenue tariff of Great Britain and free trade. The Cincin nati Enquirer has also taken ' exoeption in no mild terms to the revenue tariff soheme of the Free-trade League; and has even gone bo far as to denounce the league as a "bond holding" aristocratic association because it advocates duties upon tea, coffee, and sugar "the necessities of the poor man." And lastly comes the New York Built tin, with arguments couched in the ponderous lan guage of text-books and encyclopedias, to show that all forms of tariff are necessarily bad. As the Bulletin presents arguments and appeals to authoiities in support of its position, we devote this article mainly to answering it, confident that while doing so we are at the same time exposing the un tenableness of the ground ocoupled by tbe Cincinnati papers. The Bulletin ob jects to a revenue tariff as a means of supporting tbe Government beoause it dis criminates and "touches unevenly upon the different classes of products; for it then diverts capital and labor from those indus tries whioh are naturally most remunerative to others which are naturally less so, thereby producing a disregard of the natural condi tions of production and involving a virtual waste of the labor of the country. For this reason a discriminating tariff is tbe worst of all possible forms of impost, whether designed ior protection er revenue. une answer to this objection is that a striotly revenue tariff is one which taxes only such articles as cannot be produced in any quantity in the country levying the tariff, and that, therefore, capital and labor cannot, by the operation of a revenue tariff, be diverted into unproiuame pursuits. The taxes upon tea, conee, tin, and solces bave been enor mous for the last ten years, 'aod yet there is DO aomesuo production of these articles, aim ply became we have neither tropical heat nor tin mines. The Bulletin, evidently seeing the answer which can be so easily made to its first objection, falls back on a seoond and urges that "the discrimination of one nation againbt the products of another is an injury to the country discriminated against, dia quanmng it ior run reciprocal commerce with the country making the discrimination. It furlher says: , , . "Ot course government mast be supported by 1d)im)ii on trade; and the onij quesMuu wltn refer- euie to the taxes u now they can be to applied to tooth alt nraocues or production and tru la most evenly, to an io produce tne itatt poanibl derange ment in tne natural remuons oi me sever! brauulies of business. We submit that as vet nr man has bteu prtxou4.WQicU so fully meet tlie case a tlut or a uniform fractional percentage upon all sales of prouucia. A tax upon sales would only be even, dis criminating neither for nor against any pro ducts, in the event of its honest and thorough collection; and until it has been shown (which it never baa been), that the tax cannot be evaded, all talk about its evenness is a waste of words. If It should become ( as it proba bly would, what the inoome'tax now is a tax paid only by those possessed ot tender con sciences it would be the most uneven of all taxes, discriminating in favor of the pro duct of the least honest and honorable mem bers of society. A mere statement of what is proposed by tbe advocates of the tax on sales is sufficient evidence against the prac ticability of it. All sales of commodities are to be watched, from Maine to Texas; at every cross-road and corner-grocery the tax is to be levied; every article, from a spool of cotton to a block of stores, is to be taxed. The taxes are to be collected in one of the most sparsely settled countries in the world, nnder the worst eivil service under heaven. On the other hand, the taxes under a revenue tariff would be collected chiefly at one plaoe, the city of New York, and can be imposed on articles of such bulk as to make the smug gling of them practically impossible. When form of taxation is under consideration we must ask whether it will yield the required amount of revenue; can it be evaded; will the Government get from it all the money taken from the people by it? Upon tbe first consideration depends the rev enues of the nation; upon the second, the morality of the citizens; upon the third, the justice of the tax. It may safely be said that the tax upon sales does not answer these re quirements, and that a revenue tariff does. J. he uvuctin proceeds to quote iiastiat as an authority for its objections to tariffs. We would call its attention to the following pas sages from that great author, which will show how extraordinary is the citation. It might with equal success have instanced Darwin as an authority for the hypothesis of special creations. Tbe following is from the Intro duction to the "Sophismes Eoonomiques": "In an article, otherwise quite complimen tary, published by the isoount de Romanet, he intimates that I ask for the suppression of custom-houses. M. de Komanet is mis taken. I ask for the suppression of the protective policy. I am so far from asking for the suppression of duties that I look upon them as the anchor on which the future salvation of our finances will de pend." And again in the third chapter of Le Libre JicuaDge : "ve are 8Keo, wny in that case do you demand free trade and not the abolition of custom houses ? Because we do not regard the impost as in itself an attack upon liberty. We demand free trade as we demand tbe liberty of the press, with out denying that a tax should be paid by the printer. We demand free trade as we ask that property should be respected, without refusing to tolerate a land tax." In answering tbe ituuetm we nave shown the error of the Cincinnati Commercial in making a distinction between a revenue tariff and free trade; and would only, in conclusion, say that taxes on tea, coffee, and sugar are necessary parts of a revenue tariff system, and that tbe Cincinnati JCnqryrer in asking for their repeal is playing directly into the hands of the protectionists, who would be glad to force the retention of protective taxes by abolishing the strictly revenue duties. The astuteness of Hon. bamuel J. Kandall. Democratic M. C. from Philadelphia, was exhibited in the House on Friday to the same precise effect, in his proposition to put tea and coffee on the free list. Is Mr. Randall ignorant of the effect of his amendment, or does he propose to act outside the Demo cratio party and with the inside ring of Penn sylvania protectionists ?
