A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF.
I'.om the laiu-anter (fa.) InfcMjeiwer.
A very profound sensation has been caise 1
in the Kepublican party, by the war which
Grant has inaugurated upon Sumner, in can
ing bim to be deposed from the chairman
ship of the Cominiltea on Foreign llelfttiom,
because of his opposition to the pet scheme
of the President, the acquisition of San Do
mingo. There enn be r.o doubt that this wai
the real reason for hU deposition, nUhoagh
SeDator Howe, in the Senate on I'rid iv, in
reply
to a query from Senitor
as to the cause of . it, sai l
Srhurz
that it
was because "the personal re
cxisliucc between the Senator
lationR
from Massachusetts and the IVesident of the
United Stales and the head of thoStato Depart
ment were such as to preclude all social in
tercourse between them:" yet in the sano
debate Senator Howe was proven to hive
given a false reason, as Senator Tipton said
he had taken down yesterday's proceedings
in the Kepublican caucus the words which fell
from the lips of the Senator from Wisconsin
(Mr. Howe) as to the reason for this change
The words were, "That the majority of (he
Senate were in favor of the annexation of
Santo Domingo, and a majority of the Com
mittee on Foreign Isolations were opposed to
it, and that was the reason for making the
change."
The Republicans of tha country will now
have to choose the sido upon which they will
array themselves in this issue between their
President and their leading apostle: and a
the difference between them has arisen npon
a point which has not yet been adjudicated
npon in any Kepublican platform, the mem
bers of the party cannot be influenced in their
choice by fealty to party principles. It is
evident, moreover, that they cannot be neu
tral on the question; for the war betweon the
President and Sumner is a war a I'outrance;
the President, after having been fairly im
plored and entreated for days by the most
prominent men of his party not to do so, has
thrown down the gauntlet of defiance to
Sum ner and his friends, with the imperial re
mark that these men must be taught to be
ware how they oppose the administration.
The President is manifestly inclined to rule
his party as he ruled his army, and to keep
tip the fight on the line on which he started
out, regardless of obstacles aud regardless of
the sacrifice of his followers. He does not
seen to suspect that the policy which was
successful in one case will be any less so in
the other; and it is left to Senator Sumner to
teach him this sad lessen. Sumner is not of
a disposition to tamely swallow the insult he
has received, and the way in which he will be
apt to make sheet lightning play about Grant's
bead for the next year or two will be very en
tertaining to witness. It is generally conceded
that any little chance for a renomination
which was left to Grant by his previous fol
lies, has been entirely swept away by his last
act of silly despotism. In ruining himself ho
han likewise ruined his party, and has ren
dered it nearly certain that even the best
Kepublican candidate who could be selected,
such as Senator Trumbull, will be beaten
in 18 '2 by the Democratic nominee. The
Kepublican party is ruined beyond redemp
tion. The insult to Sumner by his removal from
the post which he has so long filled with
marked ability, is made all the more appa
rent by the fact that Senator Cameron ins
been selected as his successor. The total
unfitness of Cameron for the post is known
to all men, and in choosing him to fill it the
administration must needs confess that it has
replaced a very competent chairman by one
very incompetent; and that, in its opinion, it
is far more important that a chairman of a
Senate committee, who has in charge the
foreign relations of 'he country, should bo
on personally friencuy terms with the admin
istration than that he should know anything
about the duties of hia position. In fact, we
doubt not that Grant prefers a chairman who
don't know too much, and who, being well
paid, will do jnst what he wants him to do.
From this standpoint none will deny tb.it ho
has (selected a very excellent chairman for his
purposes.
REFORMS IN LIFE INSURANCE.
Pujui the Cleveland header.
Among the comparatively little good work
done during the past winter by the New York
Assembly, must be classed two enactments
which it has had under consideration touch
ing the business of life insurance. Tha first
of these is the provision that after a company
has received three annual payments from a
policy holder, it is debarred from afterwards
setting up a plea of fraud or misrepresenta
tion in case of death. Under the prosont
system of soliciting agents, this loophole has
been used to the extent of a rank injustice.
Under the system of high . commissions,
ranging from ten to forty per cent, of the
premiums received, the business of policy
canvassing has attracted a great many
active, bhrewd, smooth-tongued men,
whose roseate representations are in many
case found to be sadly at variance
with the provisions of the policy when
that document arrives. The medical examin
ation ia hurried through w ith the one purpose
of rinding in the applicant no physical reason
for withholding his policy. It is the interest
of the solicitor to have the application of tho
would-be policy holder accepted, and accord
ingly in writing out the request he tones
down or omits every statement calculated to
render the risk doubtful. The policy is
granted, time goes on, the man dies, and
then the company begins looking around to
find if all the statements made in the appli
cation were correct. His exact age may have
been misstated, he may have concealed some
scrofulous or pulmonary flaw in his lineage.
In either case the company cm refuse
payment. The purpose of the new law
is to oblige companies to make these
investigations at once, before they take
a man's money for a policy which they will
afterwards repudiate. It is a reform which
should be embodied in the insuranoe laws of
every (State. There is also in New York a
general wakening up to the faat that tha
medical examiners of insurance companies
should be men of the highest possible char
acter and ability, masters of all modern im
provements in vital diagnosis, and, above all,
permanent itioers of the insurance conipi
nies whom they represent, and interested in
their profits.
liut the most important change in the in
surnrice code of New York attempted daring
the winter has been the eft'ort on the pari of
tLe companies themselves to remove the re
striction forbidding them to loan any of their
f niids outside the State. The general dull
ness of buoiness and the decline in specula
tion have fdutitd New York with money, and
tit) insurance companies have found the com
1 edition too strong for their comfort orproilt.
The New York code obliges all oompanies in
that State to lend their funds within the State
limits, and while Ohio, Illinois, and other
States were offering eight pet cent, interest
and the best of real estate securities, the Now
York insurance mou were obliged to loaa
their funds at four, five, and six per cent.
More than this, the Western States have re
belled at the injustice of allowing New York
to swallow tip, year after year, the millions
paid in premiums by Western policy holder.?,'
and have warmly welcomed a now class of
companies which, organized under the laws
of Connecticut, propose to lend half their
premium receipts in tho States from which
they are received.
Tho eagerness with which this concession
has been received in Western cities hai
awakened the agents of New York coupauies
to the necessity of semiring a similar ad
vantage, and at their instigation the New
York insurance officers are besieging Albany
for permission to lend part of their premiums
in the States and cities from which they aro
received. How important a chango is hereby
contemplated will bo understood from tha
statement that Ohio alone sends East every
year more than two millions of dollars in life
insurance policies. Either th Eastern com
panies must return part of this f uud to be
loaned to our morchauta and manufacturers,
or Ohio and other Western States will pro
vide arrangements of thoir own by which tho
money they pay for insurance can be kept at
home. The Albany Assembly has not yet
yielded assent on this point, but the strongth
with which it has been urged shows that tho
caso is correctly understood and must soon
be properly adjusted.
WHAT THE ATTACKS ON PRESIDENT
GRANT REALLY MEAN.
From the X. 1. Times.
Have Republicans who are devoting their
time and energies to tho work of discrediting
the Republican party, and supplying the
Democrats with arguments against Repub
lican leaders, attentively considered the pro
bable consequences of their policy? Evory
allowance must, of course, be made for indi
vidual differences of opinion. There are
many Republicans of tho most intellectual
class who are profoundly dissatisfied with
their party because it hus done so little to
clear tho atniosphero of political life be
cause the Administration has not identified
itself sufficiently with that most necessary
reform of the age, the reform of tho civil
service. Rat do thoy seriously expect the
Democrats of tho present day to give thorn
greater purity of administration ' There
are also many, especially among the younger
men, who nre estranged from the party on
account of its opposition, as an organization,
to free trade. There ar many, again, who
Lave been oft'ended by tho appointments
made by General Grant from time to time,
and by tho little, encouragement which, as
they believe, tho thoughtful aud enlightened
members of the party sometimes receive from
him. Everybody is aware that these causes
of discontent exist, and most people who keep
fresh in their minds tho "record" of tho
Democratic party would very gladly root out
these causes, in order that something liko
unanimity might be restored to Republican
councils, and the vast calamity of Democratic
ascendancy bo averted.
This anxiety is something' very different
from the inflexible attitude of hostility which
many Republicans aro assuming toward their
own party and tho administration. There
can be no doubt, for instance, that papers
like the Evening l'oxt of this city have com
mitted themselves, for some reason or other,
to a course which entitles ns to regard them
aa active Democratic journals, and which is
in complete opposition to the best interests
of the country. They do the work of tho
Democratic leaders far more industriously
than the regular papers of that party. They
catch up every idle story which is told
against the Government, they exaggerate
venial faults into great crimes, they even set
to work inventing "news" for tho parpo3o of
bringing the administration into disgrace.
All this is not calculated to accomplish any
beneficial result, but simply to hand the
country over to tho hands of tho Democrats.
Now, what we want to know is, how much
better oft' do these "irreoonoilables" think
they would be if they succeeded in bringing
about this result ? If General Grant is not
quite the man they wish to see in the White
House, would John T. Hoffman suit tnem
any better? Is the system under which
New York ia governed, and with which tha
JW is so enamored, that which the great
body of Republicans would like to see intro
duced into the National Government?
Probably they would answer no; and yet
what other results could be expected from the
success of the Democrats in 1872? Tho
Democratic "sinews of war" aro all in the
hands of Tammany, aud a Democratic suc
cess at the Presidential eleotion Bimply
means Hoffman in the Whito House, with
his well-known backers in New York as his
chief advisers. Looal misrule would then
be expanded into something like national
spoliation. Tweed and Sweeny would not
be converted into honest men simply be
cause you placed unlimited opportunities
before them of embezzling tho public moaoy.
Think of the state our fiuanoea would
probably be in at this moment if the
Tammany horde had boen allowed to "man
age" them during tho last five or sit years.
We all know now that debt and taxation have
alike been largely reduced, and that tho
credit of the country stands very high, and
we say that the?e are some of the results
which ought to be remembered in favor of
President Grant and his advisera when their
shortcomings are so eagerly reckoned up, aud
the weapons of detraction are so freely
launched against them. Can there be any
comparison whatever, in the mind of any
rational man, between tho. mistakes com
mitted by General Grant and the wanton
betrayal of public interests of which John T.
Hoffman has repeatedly been guilty? Look at
the way in which Hoffman has tampered
with the judiciary of this city, lent himself
toThe conspiracies of the Tammany clique,
signed bills for the wholesale misappropria
tion of the public money, and assisted Fisk
and Gould to steal a railroad. Ia this tus
man for whom you are willing to displace
General Grant ? What are yon going to gain
by substituting Hoffman for Grant ? Are
all your grievances worth a moment's con
sideration compared with the duty of keep
ing a tool of Tweed, Sweeny, and Fisk from
the chief place of power in the country ?
The people are wiser than party leaders,
and they may be trusted to sweep away all
tha cobwebs spun by the "soreheads" whua
the proper moment arrives for their interfer
ence. There were Republican leaders who
would have declined to carry on the war, if
they could have had their own way; but the
people scattered them. There were Republi
cans who era very anxious to preveut the
re-election of Mr. Lincoln ; but onoe
more the voice of the people made
itself heard. And so it will be again,
or there will be little hope for many
ef the political privileges which we
tow prize the most dearly. The blind
malignity toward the President which ac
tuates the Post and a few other journals is
not shared by the general public, who recog
nize in the President a man who was sud
denly called to a most trying position, who
has had very little fair play extended to him
by a large section of the press, who from the
first has been exposed to systematic mis
representation and slander, but who has in
the main striven faithfully to do bis duty
toward tho country. We may fairly look for
still better resulta from his administration as
his time of service goes ou but oven now,
contrast him with the Democratio candidate,
Governor Hoffman, and see who is most on
titled to the confidence and respect of the
country. Tho Democrats would unsettle the
entire domestic policy of the nation, and
there is no proof whatever that they would
not oven revive tho repudiation projects of
And yet Republicans are running a
race with each other to see which can help
Democrats tho most. Papers liko tho VmI
far surpass tho Democratic Worll in pig
headed hostility to the President. We believe
thot tho pcojile look upon these tactics with
indignation, and that tho time is coming
when they will cause thoir opinions to bo felt
by tho journals which are now conspiring for
the overthrow -of Republican rule, and tho
elevation to tho chief place of authority of
the confederate of James Fisk, Jr., aud tha
Tammany clique.
THE CLERICAL PirE.
From the .V. 1'. Tribune.
We thought that there were troubles
enough in the Protestant Episcopal, or, as wo
wish to be civil, wo will say the "Catholic"
(not Roman or Romish) Church, already
but hero is a fresh one. Somebody of the
stroighter sort .writes to a "ritualistic"
newspaper in this city to inquire whether it
is just the thing for clergymen to smoke
pipes in Lent. It does not seem to havo
occurred to this casuist to ask whether it is
just tho thing for clergymen to smoke pipe
at all. When a controversy upon that point
does arise, there will be a good deal" to say
on both sides of the question. James tho
First, to whom we owo our present ver
sion of the Scriptures, aud who was in
his time the head of the visible "Church"'
of England, was of opinion that tobacco was
of the devil, and printed his "Counterblast"
to prove it; while, on tho other hand, maay
pious clergymen have been great smokers,
and there is even a particular kind of imple
ment of fumigation known in England as
"tho Churchwarden's Pipe." Sir Isaao New
ton, "childlike sage, sagaciouajreader of the
woiks of God, and of his word sagacious," was
a greet smoker. So was Robert Hall but he
was a Dissenter. It may be, therefore, con
sidered as settled that there ia no inherent
ungodliness iu smoking cigars, cigarettes, or
pipes, whether tho sauio be of clay, or briar
wcod, or meerschaums, or hookahs. The
question is, whether it be a sin to smoke in
Lent, and whether clergymen by that indul
gence set a bad example to thoir parishioners.
Upon the whole, after careful consideration,
in which he got no help from tho Fathers,
because pipes were not invented in their day,
we have come to the conclusion that inasmuch
as tho purpose of Lent is to mortify the car
nal man by hunger, and moreover considering
that tobacco sensibly tempers the importuni
ties of appetite, therefore, if it3 use defeats
the moral force of fasting, that use should be
instantly abandoned. W should have tho
same opinion in regard to brandy-and-water
and bitters, only it happens 'that these are
appetizers, and might be recommended to in
crease the rigors of abstinence. Rut just in
proportion to tho degree in which taking
tobaoco in Lent diminishes tho consumer's
"peckishness," just in that proportion may
f-moking (and also chewing) bo considered a
violation of the discipline of the "Church."
Wo cannot give a bettor opinion than that.
Nor can anybody else.
It is because we heartily wish tho differ
ences of the Protestant Episcopal (or "Catho
lio") Church well adjusted; it is because we
are weary of controversy about minor mattora
of mere ceremonial, that we deplore the in
troduction of a new element of debate. We
believe that the "Episcopal" Oiiurch, espe
cially with the greater attention which it is
recently paying to good works, might be a
most useful and beneficent organization; and
it ia not, therefore, with much satisfaction
that we open from week to week tho news
papers calling themselves, or called by others,
"Episcopalian," only to find endless dis
putes about rubrics, and genuflexions,
and triune immersions, and vestments,
tie omnibus rebus, until we have actu
ally got down to tobaoco pipes. If
these things go on, there must be schism,
and that at no distant day. It would have
come already here if the present Bishop of
New York had not been one of the wisest as
well as one of the best of men; for if tho
"Church"' here had been under a hot-tempered
and litigious prelate, there must have
been a rupture. l?y kindly forbearance, by a
tact which never fails him, by the force of
his fine personal character, by humoring no
tions when they seemed to be harmless, the
Bishop has thus far prevented an explosion
and kept his flock well together. He has had
a bard time of it in the past, nor ia he likely
to have an easy time of it in the future;
but he has shown himself at heart a peace
maker, and as such worthy to be a Christian
bishop.
THE AGE OF STATUES AND THE AGE OF
BRASS.
From, the N. T. llrrald.
W e have received a nicely printed oiroular
inviting us to contribute our aid towards
the construction of a statue representing our
well-known fellow-citizen, William M. Tweed,
State Senator, Commissioner of the Depart
ment of Public Works, etc. etc The pro
ject is endorsed by such distinguished
gentlemen as Richard O'Gorman and other
Irish patriots.
Now, if Mr. Tweed had departed from this
to another and a better world, full of years
and honors, we do not know but we might
encourage the erection of some suitable
monument to hia memory. Mr. Tweed, how
ever, has relieved ua by modestly refusing to
be thus honored at least with his consent.
Indeed, he forbids it altogether.
Nevertheless, if the worshippers of Mr.
Tweed are determined to do him up in marble,
iron, or brass, why not go further and give
all our prominent looal politicians and nabobs
a chance for thU kind of posthumous glory,
ho that the statues of our living men may be
found, like tha old town pumps, at almost
every corner? Peter B. Sweeny aud Mayor
Hall are pre-eminently entitled to the honor.
Judge Hilton, Robert J. Dillon, Thomas C.
Fields ought to be "statooed" for the work
they have already accomplished, in oonjuno
tou with Mr. Sweeny, in ornamenting our
publio parks. Who so well deserve the grate
ful remembrance of their fellow-oitizens as
these gentlemen? Central Park, City Hall
Park, the Battery, Bowling Green, in fact all
our public parks and places, might with pro
priety be adorned with their statues. The
Department of Public Docks should not be
forgotten. It might be represented by a
statue of General McClellan at the head of
every newly constructed stone pier. The
Financial Department of the city also demands
a share of this honor, and a statue of Richard
B. Connolly might be constructed of coin
without alloy and piacod in the Comptroller's
office and in those corners where money
lenders most do congregate. The "Palaoes of
Justice" should not be passed over. Judga
Bedford and Recorder Hackelt deserve hqiih
lasting testimonial for the vigorous manner in
which the laws are vindicated. A statue of
Judge Dowling might grace the rotunda of
the Tombs, and similar onos be put up all
over the city, or where the "dangerous ele
ments" mostly throng. Justices Shandley
and Cox could supply convenient niches
Sheriff Brennan also might be represented as
n iaitriliu and conscientious olncial. Toe
Commissioners of Publio Charities and Cor
rection are entitled to remembrance for their
arduous labors in behalf of charity. Tha
bend of the Society for tho Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals (Mr. Bergh) is certainly
a worthy subject for tho sculptor's chisel or
the ironmonger's handiwork. A life-si.o
likeness of him might ba piacod in every
city horse car depot and upon every horsa
fountain in tho jcity. The poor animals
themselves would never say nay to this. Thou
again we might branch off and tako a
glance at our religions magnates. How much
will Pljmouth Church subscribe for a statue
of Henry Word Beecher ? How much will
tho theatrical friends of tho pastor of tha
"Little Church Around the Corner" give for
a Rtatuo of tho tfev. Mr. Houghton ? The
friends of Theodoro Tilton might get him on
a "bust" as a living representative of the
Golden Age. Tho editorial profession might
be implanted in the memory of tho rising
generation by hanging up Greeley's old whito
coat on a beanpole in Printing House Square
And now, to go back n little from the
men of t.e present day, we suggest the
subject of statues being in order the
erection of a colossal but life-like momo
rial, thirty-six feet high, to ono of tho
most remarkable men of his age a true
Knickerbocker from the first one before
whoso local renown that of any centenarian
of the present day pales into Hothingness;
one whoBe solid Americanism would make
the Joint High Commission come to terms
pretty quick. We mean that old sage and
silvery-haired veteran of the Catskill Moun
tains Rip Van Winkle. This colossal statue
might occupy the space on the west
side of tho City Hall Park, hard by
the fountain wherein that forlorn female
ia represented as vainly endeavoring
to supply with water some famishin-'
reptiles below. The old Knickerbocker might
be represented as Joe Jefferson so admirably
port ray 8 him, with this exception: the sensa
tion of amazement at what he beholds might
be illustrated by having him with wondering
eyes and uplifted hands point to a conspicu
ous legend displayed on the other side of
Broadway, to wit, "Department of Public
Works," as if he would remind the present
generation of the scriptural declaration. ' 'By
their works ye shall know them."
Now, some of the enthusiastic admirers of
Boss Tweed may think that we are poking
fun at the whole matter of a statue of him,
and that it would be impossible to carry on
the statue business on tho scale of magnitude
we have suggested. They are wrong. Do
they not remember that when the Romaaa
entered Rhodes, tho capital of a not very ex
tensive island, they found more than three
thousand statues in bronze and marble?
(Vassori Kays thirty thousand, but Pliny says
three. Let them fight it out.) That was
called the Age of Bronze, while tho present
might be called the "brassy" age. What are
three or thirty thousand statues in this our
age? From ono model any number of cast
ings might be turned out, just as they turn
out ornamental iron work for all manner of
things, or as Comptroller Connolly can turn
out New York city bonds for all sorts of pur
poses. No, gentlemen, we do not desire to
be the Moses who is to smash up any golden
image in these modern times. Aa the Queen
of Babylon added to her gorgeous edifices
statues of herself and of her husband Ninus,
with figures in bronze representing her
father-in-law, her mother-in-law, "and tho
mother of the latter, calling them, as Diodo
rus relates, by the names of Jupiter, Juno,
and Ops (they knew a thing or two about
'ops in those days), so may our city poten
tates and politicians glorify one another and
perpetuate their own memories but for
ourselves we desire first to see whether they
will a few years hence have any memories
werth preserving. But Mr. Tweed declines
the honor in hia letter published elsewhere,
and rather snubs hia friend Shandley for pro
posing such a foolish thing as "a monument
more enduring than brasa 1"
