A rumor comes again from Washington that Secretary Bout well will noon retire from the Treasury Department. His successor, it is said, will be Senator Morton, of Iudiaua. The reason assigned for Mr. Boutwell's retirement is that the President regards the financial policy of the Secretary as unpopular and damaging to the administration. Whether the old saying, that where there is much smoke there mubt be some tire,bo applicable or not to the rumors about Mr. Boutwell going out of the Treasury, there can be no doubt that the reason assigned for his retirement is a good one. He has been a weakness and a drag to the administration all along; he has done nothing to make it popular, and had it not been for the superabundant resources of the country and the enormous revenue, which nave kept the Treasury on ft high tide of pros perity, and enabled the Government to pay off a large amount of debt, public opinion would have set strongly against him long since. The people have borne heavy taxation with patience, and have lost sight in a mea sure of Mr. Bout well's incapacity because they felt some gratification at seeing the debt greatly reduced. But the credit of hoving a vast income is not due to the Secretary; that conies from the enormous wealth, resources, end industry of the country. But there are two sides to this question of raising a vast surplus revenue and paying off the debt so rapidly; and Mr. Boutwell has Vie en on the wrong side, as far as any action he has taken in the matter goes. What the country most needed after the bulk of the floating war debt was paid or adjusted was a reduction' of taxation a removal of its bur dens and a limited income only for economi cal current expenditures and a snail sinking fund. That would have stimulated industry and enterprise, improved the condition of the people and increased trade and commerce. The money unnecessarily extracted from the pockets of the people to keep the Treasury gorged would, if left with them, have created more wealth, have placed the country in a better condition to pay the debt hereafter, and have checked extravagance and corrup tion. The Secretary did not or would not see this, ne had but one idea, and that was to keep the Treasury full to keep on hand all the time from a hundred to a hundred and fifty millions of dollars, and to pay off the debt at the rate of a hundred millions a year, in order that he might make political capital. Then, at the bottom of this extravagant and burdensome financial policy, there has always been another one which springs from Mr. Bout well's New "land protective education and notions. Uehas been fonscious that the larger the revenue exacted from the people the mors irotection would necessarily be afforded to he New England manufacturers. In taxing articles of general consumption to raise a vast revenue the home manufacturers are pro tected, and the higher price they get in con sequence from the consumers is as much a bonus as if the money were paid directly out of the Treasury or transferred directly from the pockets of the people to the manufac turers. Here, then, was a double motive for the Secretary to oppose the reduotion of tax ation and to keep up an enormous surplus revenue to promote his own political aspira tions and to serve his New England friends. Mr. Boutwell has overreached himself and damaged both the administration and his party. We should not be surprised, there fore, if General Grant is waking up to this fact and should desire a change in his Cabi net. The divisions in the Republican party on various grounds are embarrassing the ad ministration, but none are likely to prove more disastrous to it than the difference that exists between the Eastern and Western He publicans on revenue and tariff issues. The revenue reformers, who are for the most port a fragment of the Republican party, are numerous in the West, and have no interest in common with the New England protectionists. As an agricultural people those of the West natu rally incline more to free-trade. Many of them, it is true, are from the Eastern States, but while their radical and old home affilia tions may remain to some extent, they are governed chiefly, as all other people, by their material interest. As a consequence, the breach that is already apparent between the old Republicans of the East and the West must widen es time advances on revenue and tariff issues. It is certain, too, that the mighty West will soon overrule the New England protective policy which has con trolled the Government for some time past. Then the interests of the South and West, both being agricultural, will be combined be fore long against the protectionist section. The sooner General Grant emancipates him self, then, from the control of New England politicians, modifies his policy to suit the West and leans more upon thatseotion for support, the better it will be for him. The people are weary with the burden of taxation. They bore it patiently and nobly as long as the life of the nation was in question or its credit re quired to be sustained. But the war and war issues being settled and the credit of the Government firmly established, they demand a large reduction of taxes, a much less revenue, and economy. Tbey cannot see the justioe of keeping up taxation for the protection and benent of a small section or a limited class, Besides it is well known that a plethoric Trea- sury is always a temptation to extravagance and leads to corruption. If it be true that Sena' or Morton is spoken of as suooessor to Mr. Boutwell in the Treasury Department. there may be a change in the financial policy of the administration, and one more likely to suit the Western people, he being from the West and more imbued with the views of that section. The administration and Republican party cannot run the Government machine longer upon New England principles and for New England without imminent danger of disruption ana del eat. There is another good reason why Mr. Boutwell should retire from the Treasury Department. He has shown ignoranoe of the - simplest principles of national finance and economy. During the whole of his term of 'office he has lost to the Government and Eeople fully six millions of dollars a year in carding a capital of over a hundred millions instead of putting it out at interest, or, what amounts to the same thing, instead of buying np the interest-bearing debt with it. There never has been any reason to fear the surplus money in the Trea sury would be wanted. Had the Trea sury been emptied any time during the last few years, there would have been a mouth or two Biter a surplus again, bo fast and oou- s'ant tins been the stream of inooming reve nue. No business roan of the most ordinary capacity would have been guilty of suoh folly in the management of his funds. No one would have locked up his money when ho could have drawn good interest from it. The pretext that a large reserve of cold wa ne cessary to keep down the nromium is falla cious. Tha diffusion of it through the cur rents of trade would have had a better effeot. Mr. Boutwell is a failure as n financial min ister, and if General Grant would consoli date the Republicans of all seotions, aal save the West from going over to the Demo crats, the sooner he invites the Secretary to retire the better, both for himself and his party. SHALL WE HAVE A TARIFF MITTEE? C01I- From the X. 1". World. Whatever opinion may be entertained con cerning the first of the resolutions recently offered in the House of Representatives by our aotive and zealous member from the Sixth New York Congressional district, pro viding that the annual taxation shall not ex ceed $2r),000,)()0 including $12."5,0()f),0()i) for priucipal and interest of the public debt; However questionable it msy be that even in the present reconstructed House a majority vote can be obtained for the second resolution pledging the country to a purely revenue tariff, in opposition to a tariff for the protec tion of class interests at the general expense; however much the country may be divided on these two, there is no doubt that the third of these resolutions is received with a general approval bordering on unanimity. Even the Tribune, little disposed as it generally i to do justice to a free trader, frankly and freely tenders Mr. Cox its thanks for his attempt to secure for the contemplated tariff revision a careful and statesmanlike consideration. The third of these resolutions is to this effect: lienolved. That In case this session adjourns with out the appointment of the Committee of Ways and Weans, a special committee of seven be appointed to consider and report upon the reform of our revenue, and such bill or bills embodying a revenue tanii on me foregoing principles as will best carry the same Into practical effect; and In case such Con in It tee of Ways and Means be appointed at this session, mat men uie said committee shall perforin uio uuues required iu inia resolution ; and embodies, only conditionally, it is true, a proposition of a reform which has sag gested itself before now to many thinking men. This propositiou is none other than to remove all consideration of the tariff from the Ways and Means Committee, and transfer it to a committee specially devoted to that subject and none other. The enormous labor now devolving on the Ways and Means Committee is sufficient to appall the heart of the stoutest, if be have the conscientious desire to do his duty. The late chairman, Mr. Schenck, has left on record a pathetio description of the fearful perseou tion from hundreds of tariff axe-grinders to wnicn ne submitted daily during each discus sion of a tariff revision. The strongest man in tne xiouse could not do justioe at one aud the same time'to the manifol d problems of internal revenue, of tne management of the debt, the general supervision of Treasury business, ana tne tarin pesides: and. unfortu pately. the present committee consists, with one Or two notable exceptions, of the veriest. mcapables. lhe Ways and Means Committee the most important committee in the House is notoriously always overburdened with work in an active session, and consequently the most important work of Cougress is gene rally the most poorly done. On this ground alone a division of the work of this committee seems eminently desirable. But there is another ground which makes this division almost imperative. If there is one thing upon which almost all tariff reformers, and indeed all honest men, are agreed, it is that all evidence on the tariff should be beard in open session of the com mittee, and made public It is absolutely necessary that some such measure should be adopted in order that the general public may know upon what facts and arguments the action of the committee is based, and in order that interested parties may have the amplest opportunity to meet and refute all statements affecting their interests. Ai the work of the committee is managed now, im portant interests are sacrificed without the parties affected having the remotest hint that their interests are under discussion, or what arguments have been used to influence the action of the com mittee. When the report of the committee is made to the House it is next to impossible, without direct political influence, or unless the matter is of very general importance, to secure a reconsideration. As matters are now managed, the most useful class of witnesses that such a committee could have, men of character and reputation, professionals and experts in their special spheres, are unwilling to appear, fearing to be classed with the cor rupt and shameless lobbyists who haunt com mittee-rooms for their own selfish ends. But the committee might readily benefit by the advice and special knowledge of these men if they were protected against unjust suspicion by thorough publicity. And publicity, too, would save the com ant tee from the appearanoe of many who have heretofore been their chief ad visors, but who would not dare testify as they have done if they knew that their facts, and arguments would be before the whole country before they themselves could leave Washington. Members not on the Ways and Means Committee would certainly hail this publicity of the tariff discussion as a speoial boon, for it would relieve them from the worst, most annoying, and least satisfactory duty which they now have to perform that of urging upon the attention of members of the committee the claims of their constitu ents, of whose merits they are, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, either totally ignorant or incapable of judging. If it is true and we think it can scaroely be doubted that publicity of the tan It dia cussion in committee is almost essential, it must be evident that this forms a very strong additional argument in favor of a sea prate committee: for, with the exception of the tariff, the work of the Ways and Means Com mittee is peculiarly unfitted for premature publication, and tne objections to partial or irregular publicity will suggest themselves readily enough to whoever will take the trou ble to consider them. There need not, as might at first blush seem likely, be any conflict between this new taritt committee and tne ways and Means Committee; for if the House will fix the amount of revenue that it requires to be de rived from the tariff the new committee can adjust such a tariff, without any interference with other sources of revenue exoopt in the case of wines and spirits and tobacco; and any difference arising out tf the duties 01 these articles as interfering with the internal revenue tax upon them can easily be over come by a conference, or, if irreconcilable, can be settled by the House. The uio.e closely the subject is examined the more clearly will it appear that Mr. Cox's stiges ti 11 of an iudcpoiiddut tariff 0. m aii(ca is eminently wise anJJ judicious, the uure strongly will good men of all parties desire to see it put in practice. THE KU-KLUX DEBATE. from the If. Y. Tribune No other section has half the interest in suppressing the dastardly midnight outrages which disturb and disgraoe the south that the South herself has. She needs peace end rest; she needs order and security; she needs capital and population all which these crimes destroy or repel. Not one-iourtn or Her acres are under cultivation; not a nun- - . . . dredth part of her water-power is utilized; her annual product of minerals is not a thou sandth of what it might and snould be. An influx of two or three millions of intelligent, energetic, efficient miners and manufacturers would double the average value of her real estate and reduce by one-half the burden of her taxation. Yet those whose deeds of arson, maiming, and murder preclude any considerable influx of capital or industry vaunt themselves "Southern men," and eveu "the Southern people, in contradistinction frc-m "carpet-baggers," "scalawags," and 'nicgers." The Democratic party has multitudes of outside counsellors who urge it to remember that Democracy ought to mean devotion to equal rights, but especially to the imperilled rights of the ignorant, the humble, the power less. Its leaders are exhorted to consider that they might secure a considerable segment of the colored vote, even yet, by evmoing huma nity and common sense. "All you need," persist these well-meaning counsellors, "is to be Democrats, as you have always professed to bo, and you have the country in your hands. Such importunity is vain. The Democratic party of to-day is simply the Rebellion seek ing to achieve its essential purposes within and through the Union. A victory which does not enable it to put its feet on the necks of the black race seems to the bulk of its ad herents not worth having. Its heart is just where it was when it regarded slavery and the Constitution as two names for one thing. It hates the generals who led the Union armies to victory, and rarely misses a chance to disparage them. It clings to that exagge rated notion of State rights which makes them the shield of all manner of wrongs and abuses. It takes counsel of its hates even more than of its aspirations, and will be satis fied with no triumph that does not result in the expulsion of all active, earnest Republi cans from the South. We rejoice that the condition of the South has been discussed in both houses of Con gress, becanse the public mind is thereby impressed with the attitude of the two par ties in that section. ".Let us have psace, is still the prayer of the Republicans. "Let outrage and murder continue till we shall have driven tne blacks from the polls and chosen a i'resident and Congress, ij the counter- cry. If nothing more than this shall result from it, this session of Congress will have accomplished great good. MILLINERY. M R S. R.
