THOSE "DISAFTOINTED ME."
From the A'. 1". Herald.
The President, in closing his capital St.
Domingo message to Congress, says that "he
who undertakes to conduct the affairs of a
great Government as a faithful pablio ser
vant, if sustained by the approval of his on
consoience, may rely with confidence upon
the candor and intelligence of a free people,
whose best interests he has striven to sub
Berve, and can bear with patience the oensure
of disappointed men."
That a true true as Gospel; but who are
these disappointed men? Their name is le
gion. They are, great and small, ten thou
sand strong, and Senator Sumner is chief
among the ten thousand. From the day of
General Grant's inauguration Mr. Sumner, in
the Senate, undertook the difficult office of
director and manager of the President and his
policy, foreign and domestio From the day
of the submission of his first Cabinet to the
Senate General Grant was made to feel that
Mr. Sumner intended to take care of him,
and that he would be allowed only a little
more line than was given to the unfortunate
'Andy JohnBon." From that day down to the
removal of Mr. Sumner from the Senate
chairmanship on Foreign Relations by the
usual action of the Senate in the reorganiza
tion of its committees, the "irrepressible con
flict" between the Senator and the President
bad been pushed so far that either the one or
the other bad to be displaced or disgraced.
On the Tenure of Office law Mr. Sumner
struggled hard to hold General Grant in the
Senatorial leading strings of Johnson; and
though finally compelled to give way, the
Senate still yielded something to Sumner in
a sort of patchwork compromise. On the
San DomiDgo question the Senator, from the
outset, undertook the part of diotator and to
make the President centemptible before the
country. Minister Motley, at London, the
special protege of the all-powerful Senator,
in the next place, appears to have been so
far emboldened by his backer as to disregard
bis instructions from the Secretary of State.
Hence his recall; and with his recall, it ap
pears, Mr. Sumner ceased to hold any social
relations with Secretary Fish and the Presi
dent. As it was simply impossible that the
Executive Department on this footing could
conduct the foreign affairs of the government
with the Senate chairman on those affairs,
the Senate recognized the necessity of his re
moval, and he was removed. Mr. Sumner,
therefore, is chief of the "disappointed men"
referred to by the President in this 15 1. Do
mingo message.
Senator Carl Schurz is another. He con
sidered himself as entitled to the lion's share
of the Government spoils in Missouri, and so
made his requisition upon the President. But
General Grant could not see the matter in
that light. So Mr. Schurz bolted with his
friend Gialz Brown, and between them they
made a Republican split whioh gave the State
to the Democrats; and so Mr. Schurz, like the
dog in the fable, lost the marrow-bone whioh
was his in jumping at the shadow in the
water. The patriotic Schurz, then, as the
right-hand man of Sumner on St. Domingo,
is another of those "disappointed men"
whose heads fit the cap of the President's
message on this question. Senator Fenton is
another disappointed man. He thought that
he had a "title clear" to the New York Cus
tom House and all the fat places and pickings
thereof, and put in his claim accordingly.
But Fenton, like Schurz, in demanding more
than his fair share, lost even that which he
had secured. Mr. Fenton's "Mordeoai sitting
in the King's gate" is "honest Tom Murphy
"sittiBg in the place of the receipt of cus
toms" and as custodian of the fleshpots of
Egypt to the Republican party of New York,
while Fenton is out in the oold.
There are several "disappointed men" in
connection with the New York Custom House;
two or three in referenoe to certain "oastlea
in Spain" or elsewhere in foreign lauds, and
here and there all over the country the "dis
appointed men" who sympathize with Mr.
Sumner are numerous. They are breaking
out as "revenue reformers,'' as independent
Republicans, as denouncers of General Grant
"up stairs and down stairs and in my lady's
chamber;" but the Connecticut election, not
withstanding the defeotien of Grandfather
Welles among the rest, shows that General
Grant has still the inside track and can afford
to "bear with patience the censures of disap
pointed men."
DESTRUCTIVE TAXATION MR. GREE
LEY IN A FOOLISH HURRY.
From the A. Y. Sun.
Mr. Greeley undertakes to reply to our re
cent denunciation of the high taxes neces
sary to maintain at the present rate Mr. Bout-
well's preposterous reductions of the publio
debt. Mr. Greeley's methods are all urgent,
lie wanted to have a mob rush down pell
mell and take Richmond at the beginning of
the war. When it was found we had a tough
job on hand, he was equally urgent that we
ehould defeat the Rebels or be defeated in
Btanter. Fight a battle and win or lose, and
let the result end the war. Finally, Mr. Lin
coln was told that the country would stand
Us losses no longer, and peaoe was advooated
on such terms as could be had, good or bad.
Then after the war there was the same im
petuous hurry to end every outstanding ques
tion. The first imperative demand was to
resume specie payments; and the next was to
ay off the national debt, This is Mr. Gree
ey'a way of doiDg things, or at least his way
of advocating the doing of things. Bat look
ing back, we can very readily see where we
should have landed supposing the country
had tried to go ahead on his methods. They
were, to Bay the least, crude and impossible.
Of the same character is Mr. Greeley's plan
of dealing with the publio debt to-day. Over
looking the tremendous sacrifices of the war,
the enormous sums paid out of the earnings
of the last ten years, the payment of such
taxes as were scarcely ever imposed or col
lected of any people before, the amazing
resolution of the country in shouldering its
gigantio debt and bearing it above the ruins
and desolations of the war, keeping faith
with the publio creditors to the last farthing
overlooking all this, Mr. Greeley sees now
nothing but a large debt resting upon the
country which ought to be paid. He ia as
urgent now in his demund as he ever was,
and just as unreasonable. The taxation of
the country is searching and oppressive in
the extreme. It is paralyzing aod destroying
business, making the poor poorer and the
tich richer, and Mr. Greeley's cry still is to
keep up these fatal taxes, became we must
keep on paying fat instalments on the
publio debt. And why? Let us consider his
reasons:
I. Because we must pay the debt at some
time.
II Because, If we tl" K is fcU
it would be iopossible to pay it all at
nni. Becanse payment improves the charao
ter of the debt.
IV. Because we stipulated with the publio
creditor to pay one per cent, per annum of
the principal of the debt.
V. Because our taxes have boon larger thaa
they now are.
VI. Because reducing the debt monthly
pleases the shingle-shavers in Michigan, who
are juBt beginning to read the Weekly Tri
bune. These are the several arguments adduced
by the philosopher jn behalf of a grinding
and oppressive taxation to pay eight er ten
millions monthly on the principal of the pub
lio debt.
We believe we have faithfully given every
reason, offered. And what an assemblage of
reasons they are ! There is just one among
them that has something in it. This is that
paying improves the character of the debt,
and enables us to fund it at lower rates. This
consideration has at least a plausible sound,
but of real weight very little. The credit of
a cation depends upon the integrity of its
dealings, the fulfilment o its promises, and
its apparent resources. When a nation is
seen to do just what it agrees to do, whether
it be much or little, it establishes its credit.
It is by no means necessary, because a nation
has incurred a debt, that it should fall to pay
ing it right away in order to improve its
credit. It is not paying to-day or to-morrow
or next year that does this; it is paying ex
actly according to agreement. Who will say
that the credit of the British Government
has ever depended in the slightest degree
upon any reductions of its publio debt?
That debt has gone on increasing yet r by
year, and generation after generation, till it
has attained a tremendous aggregate; and
yet England oould never borrow money so
cheaply, and her credit was never so good, as
to-day.
During the existence of the late bastard
empire of France, the national debt was con
stantly and rapidly increasing; but the credit
of the French Government was never better,
and its ability to borrow money was never
greater, and its loans were never higher in
the market, than was the case one short
month before it exploded. What is true of
the English and French Governments is true
of every other Government in Europe in good
credit. It is true of all our first-class State
Governments. It is true of our leading
municipal governments. It is plain then
that the fact of premature payment is not an
element on which credit rests. It rests on
other things entirely. These are a high
sense of financial honor and integrity in the
first place, and evident resources in the
second. With these abundantly manifest, re
duction in the volume of the debt is a matter
of not the slightest consequence.
But Mr. Greeley asks with an air of tri
uropb, Would the Sun fulfil the pledge of
paying off one per cent, of the principal of
the public debt annually? We have no diffi
culty in answering that question. We would
fulfil with the most scrupulous exactness
every pledge given in borrowing. And where
would the fulfilment of this promise land us?
"Why, eight or ten years ahead of the present
time. If we should not pay a dollar on the
principal of our debt for the next ten years,
we might still claim to have discharged every
obligation to tne publio creditor on this
score.
The reasons why we should not go on in
the present high-pressure process of reduc
tion are simple and conclusive. In the first
place, the country has already paid within the
last nine years, we may perhaps fay within
the last .seven years, more than one-half of
the prodigious cost of the great war. This is
as much as this generation ought to be called
on to pay. It is our full contribution for
this purpose, in a money point of view; and
who shall compensate us for the greater
untold and unmeasurable sacrifices, of which
ne future generations ean bear a part?
Mereover, the taxes necessary to continue
the reduction of the debt are drawn from an
oppressed and struggling industry, which
every impulse of patriotism and every sag.
gestion of statesmanship require us to relieve
entirely and without delay.
But the one supreme and all-controlling
reason is, that the astonishingly rapid deve
lopment of the country in its numbers and its
resources is day by day diminishing the weight
of tne debt in tne most uniting manner. A
debt which would have bankrupted the Gov
ernment forty years ago is a comparatively
light debt to-day, and will not impose one-half
the burden on the country twenty years hence
that it imposes now, even if in the mean
time its principal should not be reduced a
Bingle dollar.
Let the debt stand, applying to it the scale
of reduction established when it was con
tracted. Let us pay the one per oent. annual
assessment on the principal from the start.
and let what has been overpaid in past years
apply in the years to come. Tnis is an ar
rangement whioh would amply fulfil all our
engagements, and with its praotioal effect the
people, now suffering and perishing under
our exaggerated taxes, would be content.
FALSE SYMPATHY WITn FRENCH
REBELS.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
A "Social Democrat" complains that we
have never conceded the right of the Pari.
wans to elect their own municipal oflioers
and of the National Guards to choose their
commanders. We have not felt that we were
specially called upon to admit a self-evident
proposition which nobody denies. The ri gut
was wrested from the Parisians by the Em
pire, and was not promptly restored by the
new provisional government of M. Thiers a
very grave error, as we admit; but it was aot
irreparable, and in all probability would have
ueen oonsiaerea in ine formation of a new
and stable government. We do not deny
this right of the Parisians, but we deprecate
tiieir violent memoa oi eniorcing it.'
We have supported the "men of order" be
cause they were the only party of order and
of peace in Paris. We Lave no more sym
pathy for this fraction of the French people
in revolt against their own Government than
we entertained for the whole French nation
lately in wrong as against Germany; and we
bball rejoice as heartily to see the right pre
vail and injuslicedefeated now as after Sadan.
We have not cated to mince woids or conoeal
facts, though a "Social Democrat" and many
other inconsiderate persons have apparently
been offended.
Let us consider the facts of this'rebellion of
the Paris "Reds. When the Germans en-
tered Paris the Communists of Montmartre
and Belleville fortified themselves in their
districts, remote from the part of the city oc
cupied by the enemy, and loudly declared that
their streets should not be polluted by the
ireaa or tne conquerors. When the Germans
were gone the Commuuists refused to dis
perse peacefully to their homes, and the
llieirs uovernment, unwisely, as it proved.
but with undoubted right, sent a detachment
of the National Guards to take the gunj from
tne iDsorgebts.
These made a show of defense and th
Guards refusing to fire upon citizens f rater
raized with the mob. Offioers who sought to
compel them to their duty were shot down and
butchered, and two old men, who had serve 1
the country in the Republican army, weri
executed after a sham trial by men without
knowledge of law or sense of justioe. In
the excitement of the hour the mob. rein-
iorcea dv tne traitorous uuarda. AxnnllAd
the Government offioials, seized the publio
places of the city, and instituted a govern
ment which they called that of the people,
but which was that of the mob. Its brief
rule has been one of bloodshed. It hi flllA
the prisons and depopulated the streets, com-
ll'sl ' t . m .
peiiiEg toe nasty nigni oi two hundred thou
sand citizens. It has fired upon delegations
of loyal people with whom the National Guards
Bhowed signs of fraternizing, and it has
marcued against the loyal army euardiuff the
Assembly and shot down one of its leaders
while expostulating with them and offering
peace, its members are inspired by no love
of liberty and order, but Are intoxicated only

and others of the committee are ignorant
men, who nave Known nothing of events
which have occurred outside of Paris for
several months past, and who. if thev were
wen informed on those points, are incapable
of appreciating the gravity of the crisis. It
is these who have demanded, as they had un
doubted right to do, electoral laws for Paris
as a democratic city; and it is in this violent
and despotic way which we have described
that they have aemanded it. While no one
will question the rights they claim, will any
approve their method ot asserting them i
lne political situation in Paris is net with
out familiar parallel in other cities New lork
for instance. This metropolis is ruled by a
municipal government elected by violence
and fraud only a little less flagrant and open
than that which now aims to control Pans.
If the "Reds" seek to inflict on their city
such officials as we in New York endure, they
deserve no sympathy from us, and not much
mercy at the bands of those whom they have
forced to take up arms. There is no compro
mising with such mobs, whether in Paris or
New York; and blood-letting there seems to
be the only remedy. This, to all appearance,
Is likely to follow their crimes, and, having
provoked it, there will be few to regret the
seventy of the punishment.
It is not a little singular that the confusion
of mind into which a "Social Democrat" has
been thrown by superficial study of the situa
tion in Paris should be largely shared by
Americans and by American papers. The
same confusion led them into false sympathy
with the Irenchwhen they forced the war
upon Germany. They are as much ia the
wrong in sympathizing with the Uocnmunists
who proclaim the republicanism they do not
understand as with the nation which called
itself the Republio of Franco nud continued
to commit the crimes of the Empire. The
Communists of Montmartre are rebels Against
the Government of all France, not of Paris
merelv: and their committee represents a
mere faction of the capital, whereas the As
sembly is the constituted authority of the
whole country.
