ENLARGING THE AR1IY IN ORDER TO
RENOMINATE GRANT. 3
From the K. Y. Sun.
While a good many people will be ready to
assert that General Butler is neither a wise
statesman nor a cautions politician, few will
deny that he carries a clear head on his shoal
ders, and usually speaks his mind with free
dom. He therefore distinctly sees what
General Grant is after in the Ka-klax bill
which he is urging upon Congress, and what
is necessary to give effect to its provisions;
and. if we are to credit the Tribune, General
13 a tier is prepared to make an effort to so
amend the measure as to afford the President
ample means for exercising the tremendous
power which this unprecedented bill confers
upon him.
According to the Tribune, General Butler
thinks "that such portion of the regular
army as could be spared from duty in the
Indian country would be too small to be of
much service in enforcing the provisions of
the bill." In this opinion Butler is certainly
correct. If we are Co have an armed force in
every county and considerable town in the
South where some carpet-bagger or nervous
negro can be found to report to General
Grant that there now exists or is likely to
occur a breach of the peace, then our present
army is not half large enough. If, whenever
an assault and battery breaks out in that sec
tion of the Union between a white man and a
colored man, with a show of pistols on either
side; or wherever there is a small row in a
liquor saloon in which a carpet-bagger gets
the worst of it; or a set of thieves, disguised
in long white robe, gets up a midnight raid
to steal horses and frighten the colored ele
ment; we say if all portions of the South
where such scenes occur are to be put under
martial law, and the President is, aocording
to this bill, to employ the land and naval
forces to execute his decrees, and arrest and
bring to prison and to trial all those whom he
wishes to get out of the way, then it is unde
niable that those forces, and especially the
army, must be very largely increased.
Apparently believing that General Grant
is right in declaring that a Eew rebellion has
broken out at the South, General Butler is
for putting into immediate operation the
martial machinery whereby we crushed the
old rebellion, by so amending the pending
bill as to authorize General Grant "to caff
out and organize such number of the volun
teers who served in the late war a? he may
deem necessary for suoh purpose, according
to the provisions of the act of July 22, 18G1.
If this is really the intention of General But
ler, then he is apparently bent upon support
ing General Grant in his purpose, under the
pretext of putting down a rebellion which
exists only in his proclamation, to get control
of the Southern States so that he may oompel
the Republican party therein to send delegates
to the National Convention who are in favor
of his renomioation to the Presidency.
So much for the intents of Grant and
Butler. That this Eu-klux legislation will
finish Grant no one can see more plainly than
Butler. How much Butler would mourn over
such a result is not so clear; and whether he
would prove nimble enough to avoid the re
coil of the gun which he helped to load, mast
remain an unsolved problem until the killed
and wounded are picked up.
But is the country ready to enter upon this
"dance of blood?" And how will Mr. Bout
well's funding scheme prosper with the neces
sity of raising and maintaining an addition to
the army of twenty thousand new troops?
THE INQUIRY INTO TnE COAL TROU
BLES. From theX. Y. World.
The Committee of the Judiciary of the
State Senate of Pennsylvania, who were
charged with the duty of inquiring into the
causes of the trouble in the authraoite coal
regions, have made a preliminary report,
concerning which we are only informed that
it closes with a recommendation that an im
mediate trial should .be given to the system
of arbitration as practised in several of the
industrial regions of England. As it is rea
sonable to suppose that any other important
recommendation or information contained in
the report would likewise have been tele
graphed to us, if there had been any such, it
is safe te assume that this recommendation is
the sum and substance of the report, as the
result of several weeks ef laborious, tedious,
and costly inquiry. We are not surprised.
Even if the subject had been less compli
cated, even bad there been no gigantio inte
rests involved, offering every inducement to
make matters still more complicated and less
intelligible, we should not have expected
much information from this Judiciary Com
mittee. Considering the extreme difficulties
of the case, we have even good reason to be
thanklul that the committee recognizes the
necessity of arbitration, acknowledges that
there may be rights on both sides, and ad
mits apparently that the companies are not
quite immaculate. So far the report is ap
parently a gain to the friends of right and a
defeat to tne friends of might. Bat it is
somewhat remarkable that on the chief ques
tion arising out of this inquiry no opinion
whatever is expressed by the committee.
The practical question before the committee
was this: Has a railroad corporation, char
tered by the State, built under a law which
gives it the right of way, and whioh practi
cally (whatever it may do theoretically) con
stitutes it a legalized monopoly has such a
corporation the right to demand whatever
rates of fare and freight it chooses for the
people and merchandise that must be con
veyed over its road or else be deprived of the
citizen's most sacred right of free locomo
tion ? This is the question now before the
people of the United States, not with regard
to the coal railroads only, but with regard to
. all our railroads. It is a question which de
mands an answer, and which must speedily
be answered, if we do not intend to deliver
ourselves up, body, soul, and pane, to these
merciless, unscrupulous, and irresponsible
tyrants, wbo are now dividing the country
between tbem like so many conquering
chiefs, each claiming his right to a certain
section of territory, in which no rival chief
tain must interfere.
If the law gives the Reading Railroad Com
pany the right to charge exorbitant aad ex
tortionate rates of fare for the oonvevanoa of
property which has absolutely no othor outlet
save the Heading l; an road; u tne u gives
the Reading Railroad Com puny the right to
carry freight when it pleases and t refuse
whn it pleases, to carry for wnoiu it pleases
and to refuse for whom it pleaics, thn it is
high time that the law were altered and such
a dangerous right withdrawn from a ojrgTj.
tion that has shown itself so unlit t ha
trusted with it. If the law gives them that
?Zh't i h Vuh !-at !'T tfm!l
It away from them. If the law does not give
tbem the right, how is it that they dare as
sume it? It is on this point that the investi
gation of the Judiciary Committee was ex
pected to throw some light. But it seems to
be the point which the committee most scru
pulously avoided. In fact the course of the
committee thoughout has been directed to
screening the railroad companies instead of
investigating them. Colonel Gowen, Presi
dent of the Reading Railroad Company, one
of the chief offenders, has virtually been per
mitted to conduct the investigation, to cross
examine the witnesses, and, probably, to
write the report. How well suited this gen
tleman is for carrying on an impartial inves
tigation is apparent from the fact that he was
the chief originator of the similar attempt
last year to fleece the public by a concerted
advance in freights. The attempt would
have been successful then but for the re
fusal of the Baltimore and Ohio Company
to join the conspiracy. Although at that
time the Reading Company was charging on
coal nearly double the freight rates per mile
charged by the Baltimore Road, this self-same
Colonel Gowen, representing, it is believed,
the entire ring of carrying companies, is re
ported to have approached President Garrett,
of the Baltimore Road, with an urgent propo
sition to raise his freight charges another
dollar a ton, so that they might all charge the
consumers this extra dollar, and to have
pointed out to President Garrett how many
hundred thousand dollars a year the Baltimore
Road would make, and that they might just
as well have it as not. The Baltimore and
Ohio Road it should be remembered to
its credit, whatever its motives may have
been refused, and the plot failed. Yet the
man who is openly charged with such a cool
attempt to levy on the public, who has pub
licly stated that he would put up his tolls two
dollars a ton higher, if neoessary, to put a
stop to all mining, while hundreds of thou
sands of poor peeple were actually freezing
from the dearth of coal the man who in faoe
of these facts asserts that the only reason of
the advance in rates is the inability of the
road to carry a small tonnage as cheaply as a
large tonnage, has been praotically charged
with the management of an inquiry into the
cause of the present troubles in the ooal re
gions! It is well to understand in advance the
kind of justice to be expected from a com
mittee acting under suoh influences; to know
what faith to attach to the result of their in
quiries. But it will not do to discard the
matter lightly. While the railroads have
made great efforts to influence the commit
tee, and have been successful, it must not be
forgotten that the working miners and those
who have the publio interest at heart have
likewise made strenuous efforts to lay their
case before them, and that the report of the
committee partakes of the nature of a judicial
decision. However much we may doubt the
impartiality of the judge, however
strongly we may be convinced of his unjust
leaning towards one of the parties, it will
not do to forget that his decision is for the
time being the law of the land. And this
decision virtually endorses ' the action of the
railroad companies; it decides by its silenoe
that the companies have not "made them
selves amenable to any law of the Common
wealth; that the citizens of Pennsylvania are
dependent upon the mercy, the charity, the
good-nature of the Reading Railroad Com
pany; that the latter has the right to run
trains when it pleases, and to stop running
them,' to carry freight and passengers, or not,
as it pleases, to charge what it pleases, and
to do or leave undono what it pleases,
without any one having the right to inter
fere. The deoision is practically this: The rail
road companies have done no wrong; if there
is wrong, it must be on the part of the
miners; still we advise that the dispute be
submitted to arbitration. The committee
does not say what shall be done if the arbi
trators cannot agree, nor what if one or the
other party refuse to submit to arbitration or
refuse to adhere to the award. Unsatisfac
tory es is this conclusion, we may indulge in
the hope that it will strengthen the prevailing
disposition to submit the whole question to
the decision of unprejudiced persons, and
that the result will be a speedy resumption of
work at the mines, with ample opportunity
to discuss the question quietly during the
summer, so as to guard against a recurrence
of the troubles next winter.
FLESH AND BLOOD FOR SALE IN CON
NECTICUT.
From the N. Y. Times.
It appears that the Democrats are deter
mined to get Connecticut if they can. On
Wednesday Bight last the following despatch
from Governor English was sent by telegraph
to Boss Tweed. We commend it to the atten
tion of all our readers:
"Do not disappoint us. Nothing could be
more disastrous."
This piteous appeal means, being trans
lated, "The money has not come yet, and we
are stuck fast for want of it. If you don't
send it on pretty soon the game will be all
over." The programme which we explained
weeks ago is to be carried out. Every State
in which an election takes place, and in which
there is the faintest hope for the Democrats,
will be flooded with money from Tammany.
That is why Tweed and his friends want the
new Tax Levy bill. That, also, is why rene
gade Republicans like Nathaniel Sands want
them to succeed in getting it. People who
think that the Tweed rascals are only local
nuisances will Boon find out their mistake.
The same set of men will have their clutches
on the throat of the National Government,
unless the people wake up in time to pre
vent it.
This despatch of Governor English to
"Boss" Tweed can mean only one thing. It
is a fact that it was sent, and an idiot could
comprehend its purpose. The Tammany
repeaters and the Tammany plunder are to
be let loose on Connecticut. If any man in
Connecticut takes sufficient interest in the
future of his country for something more
than the State is involved to wish to bring
about an era of political reform and purity,
now is his lime to shew it. Bribery and
corruption in their worst form threaten to
sweep everjthing before them. The
vile hordes of Tammany will bring
every State they can control into toe
condition of New York where the Governor
is notoriously allied with railroad swindlers.
What are the querulous compLuaiugs of
Senators Sumner and Sohurz compared with
such issues as these ? Are the people pre
pared to hand over the oouutry to the mist
depravtd political faction ever seen on the
face of the earth because Senator Suainer
Las a "grievance to redress and Senator
Scburz a "fpite" to wipe out? Whit hive
tLe Republicans in Connecticut to Mo with
feiieb ptllry questions, in tb-i faoe of th3 tro
liundous perils to which the country will bei
exposed the moment Tammany audits venal
thelites come into power?
It is necessary that the State of Connecti
cut tdiould go Democratic, in order that there
mny be Ronie prospect for the success of thd
Vi :V.ccre"c tlajs in 1372. Con"jn?u'ty
money is td be used without stint, both to
secure the election of the Democratio State
ticket and a majority oi the Congressional
legislation. In plain words, Hoffman and the
knaves who are behind him with the moqeji
bags have resolved to "buy Connecticut."
The Fourth Congressional district (Barnum's)
is regarded as almost hopelessly Democratic,
and Barnum is said to be using money
freely. In the Second district Mr. Kellogg
was elected over Babcook in 18G9 by 42 1
majority. This was owing to dissatisfaction
in tbe Democratio ranks. This dissatisfac
tion Governor English, with the aid of Tarn
runny 's money, has been endeavoring to heal,
and has met with partial success; and although
Mr. Kellogg will seoure some Democratio
votes, the contest will be a close one. The
First district Strong's is to be contested
by every means known to the "Ring." In
1SC8, Mr. Strong had over Dixon, the Demo
cratio candidate, 73G majority. This year a
new man, Alfred E. Goodrich, has been
placed in nomination. Goodrich is person
ally popular, and Tammany hopes to buy
him in.
All this, however, will be impossible if the
Republicans of the district do their duty and
get out tbe full vote. This district should, if
well worked, under the most adverse circum
stances, give at least four hundred Republi
can majority. Governor English has done
bis best to sell the State of Connecticut to
the Tammany Ring, but will the people in
dorse the transaction ? Can Governor Eng
lish deliver the article for whioh the
money has been paid down in advance?
We long ago warned the people of other
States that the tactics whioh have been
found so successful here would shortly be
put in force whenever new Democratio or
ganizations were formed. We hope Connec
ticut will sot be the first to sucoumb to
the huge bribing power which haa been set
up among us. Every man ought now to fight
against corruption not cast his vote in favor
of it. The opportunity before the Republi
cans of Connecticut is a great one. Why
should tbey play into the bands of the Tam
many gang to suit the prejudices of discon
tented Republican Senators ? Personal dif
ferences may safely be allowed to settle
themselves, but for any State to assist the
insidious designs of the Tweed faction at
a crisis like the present is the very ex
tremity of blindness and folly. We earnestly
hope that our Republicaa friends in Con
necticut will turn out to a man on Monday.
It is not a question of supporting any one.
individual, but of striking a blow at an or
ganization which has already inflicted incal
culable injury on' publio morals and de
graded every channel of political life. Re
publicans in Connecticut ought to show the
Tammany gang that they cannot go into
other States and bny up men as they would
buy and sell cattle in the market. There
never was a greater danger before the coun
try than that which this huge system of cor
ruption, everywhere growing up, threaten?
to bring upon us. We ask the Republicans
of Connecticut to strike the first blow at it.
Their example will be followed in every part
of the Union, and redound to their own ever
lasting honor.
