EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF THE LKADINO JOURNALS UPON OUBKENT TOPI08 COMPILED EVERT DAT FOB THE EVENINO TELEQBAPH. OESAHlSlI. From the N, Y. World. Morton, Butler, Chandler, Oonkling, and Cameron are new illustrations of the old truth about the madness of the foredoomed. The Republican party, falling into the hands of such men, has Buffered injuries from which nothing can now redeem it. Recently ho pow erful, enjoying peculiar advantages, boasting splendid organization, it goes to pieces as Bwiftly and surely as a wooden ebip dashed against storm-beaten rocks. And yet the crazy men who hold command insist upon driving it again and again against the same fatal barrier. Wielding with merciless severity the lash of party discipline, crushing down vith scorn and insult every Sumner, Schurz, or Farns worth who dares to stand up for jus tice and constitutional obligations, and rely ing solely npon blind partisanship to secure immunity fr offenses such as no free people has ever yet forgiven, these desperate leaders seem resolved to force every man who re spects the Constitution, every man who de itirea trne reform of any kind, to ally him- eelf with the Deniocratio party, ship is still powerfuL But there dant proofa that patriotism has Partisan- are abun yet more power. Let Republicans say what they will of the Democratic party, the great truth still re mains, and forces itself every day upon the convictions of reasonable men, that the mad career npon which extreme radicals have en tered can be arrested only by the power of the Democrats. Thoughtful men boo with undisguised alarm that the Constitution, strained to the utmost during the war, is now in immediate danger of such an over throw that the will of one man, or of a party caucus, shall be our only supreme law. As a Republican Senator reoently admitted, the Constitution has already been so shingled over with amendments and precedents that its original form can scarcely be discovered. Each new precedent acquires, under radical hands, all the power of an amendment; each amendment is strained and magnified into a revolution in our form of government. To day, with the assent of a majority of the Senate, the President grasps and uses at his pleasure the war-making power. Without even the poor pretext that a treaty is still pending involving inchoate rights he dic tates with his guns to one foreign power, interferes actively in the internal affairs of another, and, at the risk of war with any civilized nation, pushes a corrupt scheme in defiance of publio censure. Even while the Executive thus usurps power in dealing with foreign nations, and grossly abuses the power thus usurped, his party adherents are demanding for him a new and almost unlimited extension of power in domestio affairs. Give to him the right to send troops into any btate without applies tion from any local authority, with njne of those restraints which the Constitution wisely interposes between despotic centralization and local Belf-Rovernment, and of ms own mere motion, upon information known only to himself, and of which lie is toe sole j udge, to proclaim martial law wherever he likes, and what farther utep toward the subversion of our liberties will remain? Only one if indeed that is a farther step. It will remain only for American treemen to copy the ex ample of Rome and decree that one man shall "take care of the republic. It is not strange that Republicans by the ten thousands begin to feel that they cannot honestly sustain any party by wuioh the liberty of the people is thus assailed. How ever strong their attachment to their party may be, they realize that duty to the country may require its defeat. Intense hostility to Democracy does not blind everybody to the fact that the Democrats have both predioted and consistently resisted this progressive en croachment upon the Constitution, and they alone have the power to make effective resist ance in time to save free government from the impending overthrow, ilenoe it is that a few Republicans in Congress begin to as eert more boldly their independence of cauous or Exeoutive dictation. They are foroed to speak out by an overwhelming public senti inent. The Demooratio party owes it to the coun try and to the cause of self-government not to repress this rising independence of parti sanship and returning attachment to the Con stitution by any revival of questions which have passed from the arena of practical work. It is the duty of every sincere patriot to save the country from Ciesarism. To that end it is a duty to meet with hearty welcome all men, of whatever faith or association in the past, who are ready to work for the overthrow of the corrupt combination by which we are now ruled and cursed, for the success of genuine reforms affecting practical questions of the present and future, and for the restoration of the Constitution to its rightful supre macy. Let men like Morton and Butler, Cameron and Chandler, go on laboring to revive old issues, and to force upon the De mocrats the same controversies wherein the Republicans have hitherto prevailed. This is manifestly the only policy whioh gives them a chance to retain their grasp upon the Gov ernment and to filch the liberties and the earnings of the people. But no true Demo crat should help them in their scheme. The conspirators cannot unk more effective allies than those who persist in forcing obsolete or irrelevant questions upon publio attention, or by acts or deeds of violence help to fan once more into flame the dying embers of civil fctrife. With Grant and his coadjutors war is a necessity. Every Democrat, on the contrary, may ardently pray, "Let us have peace !" TAX REFORM BY ABSTRACT PRINCIPLE. From the A'. Y. Time. Our entire Bystein of raising the national revenues has been the growth of special emergencies, and the result of a varying con test between interests of diverse strength and importance. It would be impossible to construct any general principle capable of covering all ita multiplied anomalies, just as it is impossible to trace any biagle financial or economical law which was consistently kept in iew during its formation. Curtailed as it bi.u been of many useless and unproduc tive taxes, the system remains, by the confession o' all parties, fall of crudities and irregularities. This being tho case, it would appear at first sight eminently desira ble that some comprehensive principle should be devised to guide the work of re form. What has grown without method would thus, in the estimation of various theorists, assume harmonious proportions by the opera tion of scientific rule, and if once we get hold of the guiding string at the proper end, we bhould certainly, by carefully following it, get out of our labyrinth of revenue problems with both profit and satisfaction to the nation at large. Unfortunately for this promising theory, there is as tnucn aiuicuity louna in applying general principles as in getting them nominally accepted. For example, Mr. Kelley has obtained what looks on the outsido like a very solid victory for protection. The Forty-first Congress was induced by the same author to aooepi, on "the true principle of revenue reform," the proximate abolition of the internal revenue system, Ine 1 orty-secona uongress, aioeit still more pronounced in its opposition to monopolies, has accepted the same declara tory resolution that was previously affirmed in December last, ine passage 01 sucn a resolution may help to furnish a fresh point to Mr. Kelley and his fellow-defenders of the coal, salt, and pig-iron duties. wLtn these come up again for dis cussion,, but we hardly imagisie that even they expect it to affect a single vote on any of these issues. It did not prevent the last House Representatives from giving ns free coal, and it will not prevent the pre sent one from repeating their lost decisive vote on the coal and Bait monopolies, as well as probably touching the cogna.e excess of the pig-iron and wool duties. The people would doubtlesB be very glad to see the rates on distilled spirits, tobacco, and malt liquors prove sufficient for all the legitimate expenses of the Government, and thus do away with tbe great army of national tax-gatherers re ferred to by Mr. Kelley. But that tbe enor mities of some of the existing customs duties should be en tirely neglected, as Mr. Kelley's resolution obscurely implies, while all the efforts of revenue reformers skould be direoted towards relieving the nation of internal tax ation, is a proposition which can never be reduced to practice. Mr. Kelley may proba bly find future occasion to remind some of those who voted with him on Monday that he designed his resolution to stop the way to all reduction of customs duties till the taxes on stamps, incomes, etc., have been abolished. In such case he will find himself open to the retort that his resolution con tained no positive expression on any such topic, and that though Republican revenue reformers believed in Mr. Kelley s "true principle," they were not prepared to regard it as the only one bearing upon the question. Tbe defeat of Mr. Parker's resolution, de claring that the tariff should be so reformed as to become a tax for revenue only, pre Rents a lesson of a somewhat similar charac ter. Mr. Kelley's resolution is of a kind too general to be of any practical importance to anybody. Mr. Parker's, in its referenoe to "vast special interests," and in its very distinct purpose to revolutionize our cus torus duties without further delay, was oal culated to hamper the free action of the House npon Biogle questions of tax reform that call for separate treatment, as well as to commit it to a much more sweeping policy on this question than the country is yet pre pared to indorse. As our revenue system stands at present, there are three parties vitally interested in it the Government, the manufacturers, and the people. All three demand, then, equal consideration in all measures of tax reduction. Antagonistic as in some respects these separate interests may appear, they cannot be considered apart from each other without mutual detriment. Mr. Kelley and his friends wish us to sacrifice too much to the manufacturers, the adherents of Mr. Bontwell s financial policy have a too ex elusive regard to the necessities of the Gov ernment; while the free traders want us to consider the interests of the people divorced from both of the preceding. It is possible to oive the latter element more attention than it received in the construction of our revenue system, but it is neither just nor profitable to disregard the claims of the other two. Tax reform will not proceed, any more than tax creation did, by abstract roles, but will evolve itself from the play of varied interests in the gradual fashion that will alone render it universally beneficial. A RULE OF RUIN. From the X. Y. Tribune, Moved by anxiety to secure their indemnity, the Germans have insisted that the French Government shall make short work of the Paris rebels. Possibly but for the complica tions arising from the presence of this third party whose interests demand prompt action, the civil conflict in France might be brought to an end, by the temporizing policy advocated by M. Thiers, without further serious blood shed. The assault which has been resolved npon in consequence of the German attitude will doubtless be bloody; but it is not by any means certain that the long investment, which M. Thiers contemplated in his desire to avoid bloodshed, would not have resulted In ex cesses in l'aris uy which the mnooent men, women, and children, alike would have suf fered torture and death. The temper of the Communists has already brought pillage, im prisonment, and massacre; now it threatens wholesale slaughter. These fellows are not, as they believe themselves, of that "inspired rabble with which Dumouriez turned back the German invasion during the revolution: but rather the anarchists, whose excesses in the capital drove the old Jacobin warrior to declare a constitutional monarchy the only salvation of Paris from misrule. The Paris mob is now, as then, the worst enemy of the republic; and again drives France to accept the demoralization of personal government as a refuge from the horrors of no government. Paris is in less danger from Government shells than from Communist decrees; bom bardment ean destroy no more churohes than the mob has already pillaged; and an hour of unbridled license within the city may cost more lives than a day's struggle on its ram parts. The assault which prevents these threatened horrors and ends this anarchy will not, therefore, be wholly an unmixed evil And what a terrible misrule of a month it has been! Established only through the trea son of the most frosted Guards of the oity and the republic, the Commune has thriven only by proscription and murdor. Civil au thority has been exeroised by a committee. one-half of which early denounoed and im prisoned the other half ; and this faction hit since been superseded in power by a secret tribunal, which denounces on mere suspioiou and condemns without trial. The right of national property baa been abrogated; debt has been abolished; landlords have been pro- scrioea as enemies 01 me mate, ana 2()i,0!)() citizens have been compelled to flee for no other off ense than being richer than their neighbors. How many others have been se cretly denounced and imprisoned, or have fallen victims to private vengeance, which goes authorized as a publio executiouar. Heaven only knows. Prisons have been filled with priests and nuns guilty of declaring themselves "servants of a person called uo J. Old soldiers of the republic have been shot as spies, and loyal citizens have been 11144. sacred for public demonstrations in favor of older and the republic It was not reasonable to expect that a Gov- eiim.tiit which had adopted such a oivil policy as this could long sustain itself by arms. The conduct of the defense of l'aris by the Com. uuxii-U bus bctn biajply ridiculous, ju Ju.l from any military point of view. They had a large proportion 01 tne 4 0,000 National Guards intruited with arms by the Germans to maintain order as a basis for an army. These have been increased to 100,000 in numbers, but weakened by accessions only of undisci plined rabble and by the appointment to com mand of unskilled soldiers. This hastily col lected mob was marohed against Versailles on April 2 (Sunday having been chosen as the occasion possibly through contempt of re ligion), and its right wing enoamped west or Fort Mont du Valenen, though it was held by a garrison of Govern ment troops. No previous effors to xedure this work or to seduoe the garrison from its duty were undertaken; the insurgent commander appears to have thought that the Government troops would refuse to fire upon tbeir brethren. Their error was disclosed early the next morning when the fort opened pre tipon the insurgent camps and dispersed tbe right wing in a short time and with little 1 ss. Finding themselves between two fires. they made their way, as best they could, be hind the fort again, and nearer Paris. Their left column had meantime encountered oppo sition fioulh ct the city, and they soon found themselves restricted to tbe forts whioh they had previously oocupied. The Government riglit wing oocupied the positions held by the Germans on the Heights of Sceaux, and from there they have neither advanced nor been driven. Ibe left wing of the Government army followed up the success of April 3, and ad vanced from Fort Mont du Valenen towards the Seine, near the bridge of Nenilly. The advance, of this part of the line was accom panied by several affairs of no moment, and by vigorous bombardment of the southern foits by the right wing as a feint. But on April 7 (Thursdny last) the left wing, having got into position, carried the Neuilly bridge, and passed the Seine. The insurgents' left fled to tbe walls and erected barricades at the Porte Maillot, the entrance by the Nenilly road to the city. The right wing of the Government troops ad vanced into the Bois de Boulogne, its advance occupying Sablonville, a suburb ad jacent to the walls and near the Maillot gate. lie barricades of tho latter have been demo lished, and a breach in the adjacent walls has been effected by the fire of Mont du Valerien; and it is here doubtless that the assault is to be made. The fleet has reached Paris, and is anchored jnst below the Neuilly Bridge, to take part in the bombardment of the Porte Maillot barricades. No operations on the south, other than severe cannonading, have taken place, the forts there proving a bar rier to any advance of the Government troops, and the insurgents foolishly keeping on the defensive there as on their right. I he passage of the walls effected at this point and the assault under tho protecting fire of the fort and the batteries will doubt less prove successful the issue is not doubt ful, but at the same time it is not reaohed. That the insurgents will fight in their barri cades is far more probable than that they will fight in the open field; and from the first barricade at the Arc de Triomphe, whioh the rebels hold, to the Tuileries and the Hotel de Ville itself, they will resist feebly and with spasmodic energy, it is true, but with bloody and deplorable result. If not despair, pride itself will nerve them to resistance, and the vain, stupid fellows will go down to ruin in spired by the belief that the world looks ad miringly on at heroes, when it really sneer ingly contemplates only madmen. AMNESTY THE REPUBLICAN POLICY. From Harper' a Weekly. The Republican party, npon coming to power in 1801, was foroed to deal with the .Rebellion. How formidable the emergency was will never be torgotten by this genera tion, nor with wnat patience, valor, unbend ing resolution, and complete triumph the danger was confronted and overcome. The party maintained the Government, emanci pated the slaves, amended tho Constitution in the interest of equal liberty, and restored the rebellious States to their relations within the Union. We say the Republican party did this; because, if the Democratic party had controlled the Government, the power of the siavenoldiDg aristocracy would have been so confirmed as to make national regeneration almost hopeless. Had the Demooratio party been in power during the last ten years. Blavery would still have existed in half the country; the national flag would have pro tected it in the Territories; free speech would have been annihilated; all the great guaran tees of progressive liberty and civilization would necessarily, under the dominance of slavery, have been destroyed, and the spirit and purpose of the Union would have been utterly defeated. This appalling catastrophe, not only to this country, but to constitutional liberty every where in the world, was avoided Ub the na tional success of the Republican pUy in the election of I860, and by its continued suooess to the present time. Meanwhile, every mea sure for securing the logioal results of the war, and for confirming the eiual rights which it had established, has been obstinately resisted by the Democratic party. As its theory of State rights vaguely and loosely expounded and asserted in the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions supplied the pretense of the HebelUon, and its protection of the op pression of Blavery fostered the inspiring cause, so it has strenuously opposed all legis lation that tended to reniove.the roots of the difficulty from our politics, and has sedulously cnoourageu hatred and contempt of the race which we have bo cruelly wronged, but whose equal ligbts have been legally and formally acunowieugeu. Despite this malignant hostility, strength ened, as the movements of incipient rebellion were, by want of reflection upon the exact nature of tho Government, the Republican party has carried all its great measures of re construction. But the whole policy known by mat name was necessarily experimental, and certain of its measures were, in their na ture, temporary. Disfranchisement was espe cially one 01 tnese. it was tnought neoessary, in me actual situation, to except very con siderable numbers of persons from any active part in politics. Of course those persons were among ine most intelligent of the citi . . " IM . 1 I ..... zena 01 certain Dtaiea, wnose ability had se cured them the confidence and given them the leadership of their fellow-citizena. What the result might have been had the policy oeen ainerem it is not necessary to inquire, I he most conspicuous Republican who bad friendly doubts was Governor Andrew, of Massachusetts. But the loyal country which bad Maintained tbe Union unquestionably oemanaea mat poncy, ana it was adopted. The time has now oome for a change. It is evidently more desirable that the control of the States vhich have been fully restored to tbeir relations in the Union Bhould be in trusted to all their citizens, and that the most intelligent class sviuld not be excluded. It is also desirable that no system which, by disfranchisement, encourages hostility of clashes or races, should even seem to be fa- voied by the National Government, tiuoh fjt-ttiu is sometimes imperative as a choice of evils. But in a free State a disfranchised lass, especially when it is that of the most nlightenment, is a perpetual nienaoe. There ci n be no proper peace while it exists. As it tued to be aid, and to be truly said, of hit. very, that it was suppressed civil war, so it niay be as truly said of a political community, in which a leading part is arbitrarily disfran chised, that it is smouldering Btrife; from tini" to time the fire will leap out in angry flame. A general amnesty, the removal of all disqualifications resulting from the Rebellion, should be heartily declared as the policy of tbe Republican party. It was long sinoe de manded by some of its most eminent leaders. The New York Tribune, for instance, hs steadily inMsted upon its wisdom; and there are many who thought its demand to be pre mature when it was made who are fully per suaded that the time is now ripe. The em phatio declaration of the Republicans of Ohio shows how profound and bow geueral the conviction of the wisdom of this meitsure has become in the party. And it is of great im portance that it should be the work of the Republicans, that it may be seeu not to be a concession to the spirit of tbe Ku-klux by the party which tbe Ku-klux supports, ami ot which it is an agency. As the disabilities were imposed because it was thought that the publio w el ware required thorn, ho they may now be removed for the same reason. For tbe publio welfare imperatively demands Republicxn ascendancy, and that is in 8ue degree imperilled by a policy of contiuued difefranchihement. Tbe conditions of national pacification cannot be complete until amnesty is universal, and for every reaoa Hint dual measure should be the work of the party of liberty. TnE BLACK SEA QUESTION. From the Government Messenger, St. Petersburg. For fifteen years Russia has strictly fulfilled the obligations of the treaty of Paris, oue rous oh some of them were for her diuity. Meanwhile political events had made con siderable changes in the provisions of this treaty, and in course of time the position of European powers in their relations towtrd- each other had become tHBenually molinad. It was impossible for Russia to snouiit any longer to the restrictions which had beeu im posed upon her on the Black Sea, which ba'ue tbe Russian coasts, alter the international relations of the other SUtes had become so remaikably altered. The Imperial Cabinet notified to Europe by the Imperial Oh.iouci lor's circular of the lDth of October that i no longer considered itself bound by the restric tions relating to tbe Black Sea, and that bis Majesty the Emperor had resumed his full sovereign rights npon that sea, leaviog at the Fame time the other sovereigns free to resume their rights in their entire extent. Not withstanding the viohnt and hiriscd declara tions of many organs of the Lur;pean press, the great powers which bad signed the treaty of l'aris did not look upon our circular as a provocation addressed to Europe, nor as an indication 01 secret pinna against ner peaoa, but as a frank and moderate notification; and they icsolved, at the suggestion of the Government of the North German Confedera tion, to assemble in a conference for the purpose of bringing this notification of Rus sia into harmony with the Treaty of 18."(. Our Cabinet gladly accepted the invitation to take part in this conference, more especially as in the circular of the l!)th of O itober it bad already been stated that his Majesty w-n disposed to conclude any now international agreement whose object it should be to strengthen the prospects of universal peace. While securiDg tbe dignity of Rustia the labors ot the conierence were greatly im peded and delayed by the contemporary poll tical events; but froin the very beginning all the powers expressed a readiness to solve the questions in a spirit of peace and justice. In yesterday's number of the Gorcrnmtiit Mesneiger a telegram was printed announcing that a new treaty bad been signed at the London Conference which abolishes those articles of tbe Treaty of Paris that limited the sovereign rights of Russia and Turkey on tho Black Sea. There can be no doubt that not only all Russians, but all friends of peace and justice, will heartily rejoice at this worn ot European diplomacy It limits no one's rights, it does not deuiaud any sacrifices, while it has restored rights which had been violated, removed a symbol of international distrust, and strengthened the intimate relations of the European States. It is pre-eminently a work of peace and justice. CHINA, GLASSWARE, ETO. GAY'S CHINA PALACE Removed from IOI2 TO No. 1109 CMESNUT Street.
