From the A'. Y. Tribune.
We were premature In coDgratulaling Gene
ral Butler on giving up his personal explana
tion, and the Honse of Representatives on a
permanent relief from theHe casual half -hours
of vulgar wrangling. He might very well
Lave allowed the matter to Bland where the
Erasshopper of the Blue Grass left it. Mr.
avis asserted that he had aoted like a black
guard in his interview with Butler, aud there
was no nece? sity for Butler to gainsay it. lie
might have left the foul-mouthed Kentuokian,
as the Western boy onoe proposed to leave a
specimen of the Viverra Mephtlis, to perish
n hia own fraerance. But General Butler
Jias no conception of the virtues of reserve
.and silence, lie baa gained great promi
nence by bullying quiet people, and naturally
feels a little confused when the same regimen
is applied to him. lie could not bear to go
home without striking a blow at his two ene
mies, Davis and Farnsworth, and in so doing
-called up the inost disgraceful scene that any
Congress has recently furnished. If, when
lie read the report he did not
think he has had enough of personal explana
tions to last a life-time, he must belong to an
order of pachyderms hitherto nndescribed.
It would have been difficult to find in any
bar-room of Water Btreet on Thursday, three
Buoh blackguards as Butler, Beck, and Farns
worth. All three of them spoke with equal
coarseness, venom, and discourtesy. The
Ilouse was to blame for allowing Butler to
begin. , It was still further to blame for per
mitting Farnsworth to repeat a stale assault
upon the member from Massachusetts. And
the clini&x of disgusting farce was reached
when Beck, equally reckless of the honor of
the House, the sacredness cf the committee
room, and the dignity of human nature, re
peated before the world the loathsome details
of a scene of ruffianly violenoe between
Farnsworth and Butler, in whioh the former
acted the brute and the latter the craven.
The whole scene Is Bingularly unique and
harmonious in its vileness. It is so intolera
ble in its savor that this closing hour tinges
un wholesomely the entire session.
Perhaps there is some compensation hid
den behind this disgrace. This business of
personal explanations had grown suoh an
x abuse that it needed to be made insufferable.
" This has now been done. There is no lower
deep than that sounded by the three rowdy
champions of Thursday. The House Jmay
yet derive some advantage from this throwing
of stench-pots. It is possible that tho men
who engaged in that aromatio pastime may
gain a lesson from it. Perhaps Mr. Beck's
Ku-klux constituents will see no harm in his
dishonoring the name of Congressman on
the floor of the Ilouse. But Mr. Farnsworth
has a district of decent men behind him, in
which he has already reduced to little or
nothing the greatest majority in the oountry,
and Thursday's proceedings ought to finish it
or finish him. As to Mr. Butler, if there is
anything remaining of him after the sangui
nary row he provoked, we may safely leave it
to be dealt with by his Yankee fellow-oitizens,
who will certainly object to being represented
by a man who has not discretion enough to
keep out of quarrels, nor pluck enough to
carry them through.
. DEMOCRATIC WIND-BAGS.
From the N. Y. Timet.
The Democrats in Congress have issued an
address to the people. They begin by de
nouncing "centralization" and a "subsidized
press." Upon hearing this, the first impres
sions of most people will be that the object of
their attack is the Democratic Government
of New York for surely such an example of
"centralization" was never seen in the world
before. All power is placed in the hands of
half a dozen men, and the people are no
longer allowed to have a voice even in the
election of the chjef officials still less any
-control over them when they are in office.
Again, if we want to see a subsidized press,
we must certainly look to New York for it,
where numerous papers are kept in existence
by corporation advertisements, for the sole
purpose of supporting the corrupt faotion of
the Democratic party. Unless these journals
were thus fed and propped up, most of them
would drop out of existenoe in less than
three weeks, and all of them would de
nounce the palpable and shameless mis
government of the city and State.
But these are not the cirouma tances which
xaove the Democrats in Congress to
protest. Their anger is kindled against the
"Radicals" those wicked Radicals who
eaved the country from being split into frag
ments in 1801, and who have ever Bince tried
to preserve the honor and increase the pros
perity of the country. These are grave
crimes, and the Democrats in Congress can
not regard them with patience. They say
that "honesty, fitness, and moral worth are
openly discarded in favor of truokling sub
mission and dishonorable compliance; hence
enormous defalcations and widespread cor
ruption have followed as the natural conse
quences of this pernicious system." If this
was not intended to refer to Connolly and
his friends, the Democrats have unintention
ally given an exact description of their rule
and the results to which it has led. When
they say, 4 if the career of these conspirators
be not checked, the downfall of free govern
ment la inevitable," it is impossible any
longer to resist the belief that they had their
eyes fixed on their worthy associates who
have turned free government into a mockery
in this State.
"Nothing is left te the citizen or the SUte
which can any longer be called a right; all
is changed into mere sufferance. Here,
once more, we have a perfect description in a
small compass of Democratic principles of
government as exemplified in New York.
What the address means by the "saored rights
or btates, as applied to the south, Jefferson
Davis recently explained at greater length in
his speech at Selwa. The people understand
pretty'.w ell what the Democratio idea of State
rights really conveys. The address proposes
no definite policy it consists merely of
winay declamation against the Radicals for
abusing the powers of government. The
Democrats forget that taere would have been
no government at all by this time, in the
i i i . i ij.i . .
bciih in v.iucu we nave mtnerto had one
but for these- same desperate
Radicals. That the Republicans have
made some mistakes notably in allowing
another session to elaose without a raviuinn
of the tariff and a further reduotion of taxa
tion a very large section of the party frealy
admits. But it is a little
for the Demoorats to prate about honesty and
economy in government. What thev hava
done ia thin blate they would do everywhere
i iuc; iwa h I'uwer. i.ieptllllcaO saort
comings are slight Indeed when compared
with the shameless misrule and universal cor
ruption which characterize tho Demoorats
when tbey obtain the upper hand. The best
comment ary on this edckePS is furnished by
Democratio legislation at Albany during the
past winter. When the people want the Na
tional Government moulded on that of this
State tbey will put the Democrats in power,
and not before.
;' - CHEEK.
From ICvery Saturday.
Colonel Admiral Romeo Achillea Fisk
Prince of Erie and Protector of the Fairy
Queen of the Submarine Grotto of Gleam
irg Delights is not a person whose modesty
has impressed ItBelf very deeply upon the
public mind. His modesty has never been
known to stand injuriously between him and
the attainment of any of his desires, financial
or convivial. The word "cheek," in Its
modern significance, was created by pro
phetic philologists in anticipation of
Lis arriving at maturity whioh he did
the other day at the age of thirty-eight;
and when ,be passes away the word
will become obsolete except in connection
with his memory. Cool, unblushing, unoon
scious audacity is the chief characteristic of
the gallant Colonel, whether he appear as
Admiral on the high seas of Long Island
Sound, or as an amateur gentleman driving
his four-in-hand on Fifth Avenue, or as the
fatted proprietor of the opera hovffe or as the
manager of Erie, or in his more terror
striking role of Achilles, at the head of the
New York 9th Regiment. It is in all his ter
rible beauty as a warrior that we pause to
regard him at the present moment, as it
is in this dazzling shape that he has just
given ns a fresh instance of his inimitable
effrontery.
It is no fault of the daily papers if it is not
pretty generally understood that the New
York 0th Regiment, Colonel Fisk command
ing, is to visit Boston on the 17th of June to
assist the descendants of the Puritans in
celebrating the anniversary of a memorable
event. ' At one time it was contemplated to
let the 17th of June lie over for one year, if
Colonel Fisk did not see fit to volunteer to
come on and take charge of the thin;. He
is coming, pretty much at his own suggestion;
but matters are by no means so smooth as
might be expected. Brother Fisk whose
austere piety is well known has it in his
programme to have public religious services
on the Common on Sunday, the 18th. This
devotional npirit does not seem to meet with
ready encouragement in many quarters.
We are grieved to notice . this,
for no doubt the services would be
highly impressive. As we write these
words, a vision of the possible spectacle rises
before our fancy's eye we see General Bourn,
and Prince Paul, and Barons Grog and Puck,
and Colonel James Fritz himself, and the
lovely Duchesse de Gerolsteia (acting tioan
diere of the Ninth) standing with bowed
heads around the Frog Pond, while the fune
ral strains of Ah! que j'aime Its militairesf
floats solemnly among the astonished tree
tops. The trees, in our vision, would dance
from their places, as if to the mnsio of Am
phion, only that each tree is neatly labelled
with its botanical name, and if it attempted
to escape from the Common would be reoog
nized and collared by the first policeman.
It is objected by some people wholly de
void of sentiment, that one or two thousand
warriors, with colors flying and brass bands
clashing, would make it rather lively in our
streets for those Bostonians who have an
old-fashioned idea that the Sabbath is not a
good day for a general cpree. It can hardly
be expected that what he would consider nar
row theological prejudices will indooe the
scarred bero to chaDge the plan of his cam
paign. But such small bickering naturally
annoys the Colonel, and he oughtn't to be
annoyed.
Another thine troubles him. With that
exquisite dense of humor which we now and
then see in great commanders, Colonel Fisk
took It into his bead where he bad plenty
of room that he would like to have the city
of Boston give him wnat do you suppose t
a public reception ! With that shyness and
morbid timidity which render ms publio and
his private life so beautiful, he immediately
applied to our worthy Mayor for those civio
honors whioh are usually reserved for real
soldiers. This seems incredible, but it is a
faot. We think the time is not quite ripe for
the capital of this Commonwealth to give an
official reception to Colonel Admiral Romeo
Achilles Fisk, even though he offer, ai he
does, to pay all the expenses 1
DEMOCRATIO LEGISLATION AT AL
BANY. From theN. Y. World.
We detest cant, and will say nothing of the
recent session which we do not honestly be
lieve. It is the first session in many years
when the Democratio party has had a majority
in both branches of the Legislature, and the
party cannot esoape its proper responsibility
for the use it has made of its power.
In point of integrity we suppose it will not
be disputed that this Legislature compares
favorably with any of its long series of Repub
lican predecessors. It has. not been charged,
or even suspected, that mosey has been used
to secure the passage of bills except in the
recent caf e of Winans. If Irving had not lost
control of himself and committed a violent
assault on another Democratio member, the
session would have closed without a breath of
the kind of soandal which has made all the
Republican Legislatures of the last ten
years a foul stench in the nostrils of
the people. We know nothing of the
motives of Winans; but if the Republicans
choose to blacken a member of their own
party, it is not incumbent on ns to defend
him. If their charges are true, they have
greater reason to be ashamed of him than we
have to be ashamed of Irving. The worst
that can be said of Irving is that he has aa
uncontrollable temper, which is a venial fault
compared with that laid at the door of
Winans by the members of his own party. If
Irving's impulsive use of his fist had not com
pelled him to resign, we should have had, for
the first time in a dozen years, a Legislature
in which no bill was passed by means open to
suspicion. A Democratio majority is thus
attended with the great moral gain of a puri
fication of the Legislature from the old taiut
of bribery. When that narrow majority was
accidentally lost, the Republicans Bay that a
member of their own party was ia the market.
Their cauoua implied that not merely one
but many Republicans were ready to be
bought, and that every Republican member
needed to be put under bonds. None but
Republicans could know their party so well.
The only effectual cure for legislative cor.
ruption is the removal of temptation. Billi
that have money in them are the only ones
whose promoters can anrd a fun a lor
bribery. To use a Scripture phrase, "where
the rarcaas is there will the eaclea be estuerxd
together." It UJhe tariff and railroad grants
that Buppiy tne kui&ws or oorrop'ion in C m
groa. It was the fat army contrasts and the
building t so many vimsvla tLut demoralized
the pubuo bvYI? yuring tut war. The Atbaaj
Legislature has been rendered thoroughly rot
ton during the last fifteen years by railway
bills for whioh the roads could afford to pay,
and more especially by drawing the municipal
affairs of this great city into the Albany vor
tex. The corruption funds have been chiefly
supplied from these two sources; and it has
been the settled aim of our Democratio Gov
ernor and Legislature to dry up these foun
tains by removing such subjeots from Albany
control. Governor Hoffman's vetoes, so
countless by their multitude, and so diversi
fied in their subjects, have been governed by
a persistent unity of purpose, the key and
clue to the greater part of them beincr his
invincible determination to substitute gene-

Even wbtn the promoters of such jobs are
sot ready to pay money to get them through.
thy debauch legislation in another way, by
tie process called "log-rolling." Governor
lion man has aimed to cut up the whole sys
tem by the roots, and save the time and the
morals of the Legislature by wise and com
piehcpive general laws.
The Democratio Legislature has acted in
rurfiuance of the same principle. The most
important of its measures are those relating
to the government of this city, which have
heretofore been the chief source of corruption
at the State capital. The chorus of howls
which the Republican press has raised over
the two per cent, tax levy bill can deceive
nobody. . The whole Renublican press of the
State has for years borne witness to the fact
that the ordinary tax levy is no guarantee
against extravagant expenditures. There has
never been any difficulty in getting a Republi
can Legislature to sanction every item which
the city authorities have asked lor. it the
Republican press is to be believed, the an-
LUnl tax levy has been regularly passed by
biibing Republican members. The New York
tax levy has been the great placer of every
icsi-ion. This source" of legislative corruption
is1 completely dried up by the new law which
remands the estimates and appropriations to
the citj authorities, with a ttgOroos limit to
the rate of taxation and the amount of ex
penditure. Whatever may be the effect of
this law on the local government, nobody can
dispute its tendency to purify the State Le
gislature. And as the raid of city taxation is
to be considerably less than heretofore, it is
manifest that this advantage is not purchased
at the expense of the city tax-payers.
Whether the limited power of taxation is
lodged in the right hands is a diffioult ques
tion, which cannot he solved by theoretioal
reasoning, but only by the result of the ex
periment. If, on trial, it in not found to
woikwell, we hold ourselves as free to de
nounce it as we now are to favor it at a pro
visional and tentative expedient. It is a
choice of evils, but it is difficult to see
where the power 'could be deposited with
less hazard. The experience of many years
has shown that the revision of the tax levy
by the Legislature is no check on munici
pal extravagance. The city authorities
have always got everything they asked
for, and the tax payers have been burdened
with the bribes paid to secure the passage of
the bill. The old Board of Supervisors, now
happily abolished, was as little to be trusted
as the Legislature. The alleged corruption
of the Common Council was the pretext for
taking the tax levy out of its hands and trans
ferring it to Albany. There is not an intelli
gent man in tho city wbo would wish the
Board of Supervisors revived, or the power of
taxation again vested in the Common Council.
Those who declaim against the new law have
not attempted to show where the power could
be more safely lodged.
Ihm gomninant of Hr olttos la ODS of
the most difficult problems of modern poli
tics. It is at present depriving afflicted
France of the blessings of peace. The proper
method of assessing looal expenses is just
now the leading topic in the British Parlia
ment, Mr. Gosjhen's new bill on that subject
being the engroFsing theme of the English
newspapers. In England, as ia this oountry,
there is a vast increase of looal expenditures,
most of which results from the growth of
cities. The London Ecomtmint, in a very
long article on Mr. Goschen's report, speech,
and bill, after giving statistics of the great
increase of local burdens, makes these re
marks: "And the course historically of these
burdens has been that the purely local rates
have greatly increased: in faot, they belong
almost exclusively to the age of great cities,
and to the modern disposition to miscellane
ous improvement. We know
generally that they are the creation of reoent
times." '
We are only experiencing what is experi
enced in other countries in this "age of great
cititB." New York being the most important
of American cities, the problem is presented
here in its most unwieldy form. While Lon
doB flounders, and Paris welters in blood, we
may congratulate ourselves that we have so
promising a prospect of a satisfactory solu
tion. Tho old form of municipal government
has broken down" even in the small city of
Washington, and the legislation at Albany
will compare favorably, in every respect, with
that of Congress for the District of Columbia,
although the latter is so simple and manageable
in comparison. It it not probaMo that a per
fect scheme for the government of great cities
has been struck out at a single heat ; but the New
Y'ork experiment has as fair a promise of suc
cess as any which has yet been devised. Our
municipal government is not more expensive
in proportion than that of London, although
labcr is bo much cheaper in that metropolis,
and it lacks our admirable system of free
schools, supported at the publio expense. The
i ew experiment here is hopeful and deserves
a fair trial.
