CAN THE GERMAN-AMERICANS BE
GAINED TO THE RIGHT SIDE?
From the X. Y. Times.
Our remarks on the unfortunate position
of the German-Americans in New York city,
in the loDg struggle begun by honest men
with municipal corruption, have had the effect
we desired. They have called forth from the
press in every portion of the country inqui
ries and thoughtful consideration as to the
reasons of the New York Germans beiog
separated from the party to wbioh they
naturally belong, and to which their com
patriots in other States usually tend.
That the subject is of immense import
ance, both to the general welfare, and
to the success of the Republican party, all
will admit. The recent investigation of
the census shows an even greater population
of German Americans in thn city than has
been supposed. A certain district alone, on
the east side, is credibly reported to con
tain 237,000 persons f German birth or de
scent. Beyond this quarter, in other wards,
in the outbkirts of the city, and in Brooklyn
aid Williamsburg, must be as many thou
sands more. It is a not extravagant estimate
that fifty thousand votes are cast by this na-
... . ; ; i a ti
tionaiity in every municipal anu general elec
tion in this city and suburbs alone.
These votes are sufficient, if cast on the
right side, to take the control of New York
utterly from the sharpers and demagogues
who disgrace it; to inaugurate an entirely
new and reformed city government; to re
deem the State Legislature and officials, and
bring them on toe Republican side. It is
not too much to say, that in a close Presiden
tial elestion they might decide the character
of the National Government. Those who are
struggling through much discouragement to
bring about a more honest state of affairs in
our city administration, feel that they have
nothing to expect from the Irish Catholic
inast-eB. These men have, from the time of
their first emigration, been the tools of cun
ning demagogues and Democratic politicians.
The priests and the ring join hands in hood
winking and leading this ignorant crowd.
They are bound now to the Democratio party
by association, by innumerable offices, and
by prieBtly influence. They will never break
from the control of the Democratic organi
zation. With the Germans, however, this is all
reversed. The German Catholio is not under
the control of nis priest, and if he be, the
priest may be of the school of Dr. Dollinger
and belong to the American Liberal party.
The Germans are tied by few offices to any
party; they are not led by American or Irish
demagogues; they are honest, intelligent,
respectable, hard-working folk, who are tem
porarily separated by certain prejudices (of
a social sort) from the political organization
which would best suit them. Their sympa
thies are all with the old Anti-Slavery aud
Republican party of this country, and directly
opposed to the reactionary and merely office
seeking faction who call themselves the "De
mocracy." The World fancies that it can beguile its
German readers by repeating some of its
well-used phrases, which had such remark
able effect during the war with the Rebellioa.
Then, as now, it warned the people against
"the ty rant in the Presidential chair;" again it
"centralization terminating in despotism;"
against "interfeting with the sacred right"
of Southern citizens and then, as now, it
protested with ponderous and Johnsonian
eloquence that this Government was being
perverted into a "centralized despotism," We
all know the effect of these warnings then on
our German fellow-citizens. We may re
member that they were among the first
in arms against the Rebellion, and that
their principal orators were the ear
liest in advocating emancipation, and
vigorous "centralized" measures. Their
votes again swelled the tide which
carried in Mr. Linooln a second time, and
which afterwards brought General Grant to
the Presidential chair. When the World
gives the German-Ameiicans the cry of
"States Rights" now, it happily forgets that
the watchword of the Liberals in Germany is
a "United Federal Government," with strong
powers, and tnat tne "lteaction nave in
scribed on their banners "States Rights" and
the independence of local communities. No
people have felt the evils of looal indepen
deuce, and of the constant oppressions of
small States, like the Germans. They have
more fear of extreme individualization or
separation of community than of an over
weening Federal power.
They see in this country that a terrible
civil war like ours, and a grand act of na
tional emancipation, necessarily involve some
abnormal and semi-military measures, for the
sake of preserving the peaoe of the country
and protecting me ireea staves, it is not
the Ku-klux bill which has separated the New
lork Germans from the Republican party,
dui iar otner matters, not so important per
baps, but which possess great weight in the
view of Germans. Those we have already
discussed, and we do not despair that the
causes of disagreement can be removed.
CAN THE TREATY BE USED TO SECURE
THE PAYMENT OF CONFEDERATE
BONDS ?
From the N. Y. Sun.
There is something exceedingly suspicious
in the extraordinary efforts that have been
made to prevent the public from learning the
actual details of the new treaty, and in the
attempts to shroud the proceedings connected
with its consideration by the Senate in mys
tery. JLord Uranviile announced in the
British House of Lords that the treaty would
be publicly submitted to Parliament as soon
as reoeived; but here the administration has
determined that it must be forced through
with closed doors, and from the first every
exertion has been made to keep from the
Amerioan people a knowledge of its provi-
biuuh. TYuro iuiu turn, a oue-tuaea state
ment purporting to be a summary of the
document, but which in reality was a partisan
argument in favor of the English side of
the question, was issued from the State Depart,
ment for circulation through the press. Tbis
production, which is believed to have been
prepared by J. Bancroft Davis, tne bribe
taker, lauded the magnanimity of the British
members of the commission in consenting to
give us so favorable terms, and was calcu
lated to create an entirely false impression
in the public mind in regard to what hai
been agreed upon by the commissioners. Iu
this so-called summary, special pains were
taken to create the belief tbat the British
commissioners had made great couoesKious
in relation to the adinisHiou of claims against
the United States for losses through the de
struction of cotton belonging to British su'j.
jecta, when in fact the treaty provided for the
consideration of all claims without exoeption
on the part of corporations, companies, or
private individuals against the United States,
arising out of aots oommitted against the
persons or property of British subjects
during the period between the 13th of April,
18G1, and the Hh of April, 1863, inolusive.
In England there is held by British sub
jects some forty millions of. Rebel cotton
bonds, which were sold for what they would
bring to English sympathizers with the Re
bellion, in order to furnish the Rebels with
money to destroy the United States Govern
ment. The English owners of these bonds
have always held that the United States are
responsible for the pnjment, and it is certain
that an attempt will be made to inolude them
in tbo claims against this country which are
to be the subject of arbitration. This may
seem absurd: but it does not appear so to the
EDglisb, as the following letter which re
cently appeared in llcrcpath' lluilway and
Coiummial Juvmal very plainly shows:
CONFEDERATE COTTON BONDS.
"Mr. Editor: Will you allow me a very
small Bhare of your space to correct, not a
misstatement, but what appears to me to be
a misconception pervading your artiole last
week on the subject of tne Confederate ootton
bonds? You appear to assume that it is in
the power of the American Government to
postpone indefinitely the settlement of these
claims. Terruit me to say that this is wholly
erroneous. The commission to be appointed
will take cognizance, cot only of the Alabama,
but of all claims of the citizens or subjects
of both nations: and it is considered certain,
by those best informed in the matter, that a
decision of all the questions referred to it
may be expected before August. Hence
arises the great confidence ot tne oonanoia
ers. Their position is changed from that
of suppliants before an unwilling and hostile
Government, to that of suitors before an im
partial tribunal, whoRe case is clearly and un
doubtedly incontestable. I am, etc, R. A.
70 Old Broad street, London, L. U., April l'J,
1871."
It may be said that the failure of the defunct
Confederacy to pay its obligations did not
arise out of acts committed against the per
sons or property of British subjects, and that
hence the claims of the bondholders will be
barred from consideration: but the resources
of British diplomacy are wonderful, and there
is no doubt that competent lawyers would be
able to present plausible arguments to prove
the contrary. It is too important a matter to
be left to the possibility of doubt, and the
consideration of this sort of claim should be
expressly forbidden in terms that admit of no
question, if tne .British Commissioners in
tend to exclifde these bonds from the claims
to be arbitrated upon, they can have no ob
jection to the fact being definitely set forth
in the treaty; if they do intend that they shall
be considered, they may as well pack their
trunks and leave, for the bare proposal of such
an outrage would be an insult compared with
which those tbat have preceded it would be
tuning indeed.
Ihe present Holders of tne Rebel bonds
bought the greater part of them for a mere
song, and could afford to pay millions of dol
lars to get them allowed. Tne decisions of
the commissioners .appointed to arbitrate the
claims will be final, and it is provided that all
sums of money which may be awarded by the
commissioners on account of any claims
shall be paid within twelve months after the
date of the final award; so that it may reason
ably be expected tnat if the treaty is ratified,
tne admitted claims of Uritiau Bubjects will
be settled during the term of the present ad
ministration. When the enormous amount
of money at stake is taken into account, and
when it is further considered tbat the virtual
head of the State Department is a notorious
bribe-taker, it does not seem strange that the
publio regards with uneasiness the attempts
at concealment and misrepresentation which
have been so boldly made in connection with
this treaty.
GENERAL GRANT AND THE NEW YORK
REPUBLICANS.
From the X. Y. Herald.
The Republican party of this city and State,
from the never-ending but still beginning
squabbles among its discordant leaders,
cliques, and factions, is in a very bad way
The two great bones of contention among
them are the Custom House and Tammany
Hall, with the fat pickings thereof. From
the dissolution in 1800 of the political firm of
Seward, Weed & Greeley, these disturbing
factions have continued their silly intrigues
and plots and counterplots against eaoh other
until the party, after holding the State for
tit teen years and more agaiust all hostile
combinations, has now become in this city
aud in Albany a mere plaything in the hands
of the Tammany sachems. General Grant
has undertaken the difficult task of restoring
harmony and what Kossutn would call "son
darity" to the New York Republicans in a
pretty positive way; but, so far, instead of
harmony we have only "confusion worse
confounded.
General Grant's system of peace-making
among these squabbling factions, in a mui
tary view, is very good. His object is to
unite the New York Republicans in support
of his administration. He finds that he has
to deal with two f notions which will not agree,
and he therefore concludes that one of them
must be put down. He finds the faction
represented at Washington by Senator Couk
ling loyal and tractable, and he adopts it;
he finds the faction represented by Senator
teuton domineering, dictatorial, grasping,
and rebellious, and he rejects it. lie finds
that Fenton has no faith in him. and he re
solves to put no faith in Fenton; and so Mr.
Fenton is weeded out of the Custom House.
But here, while it ia manifest that this hue
of action has not reoouoilel
Mr. Fenton to General Grant, we see
that it has alienated Mr. Greeley, the chief
scribe of the Fenton faction. And aarun.
General Grant undertakes, throush Collector
Murphy, to detach the Republican party of
this city from it3 demoralizing blandishments
of Tammany Hall by weeding out the Tam
many Republicans from the Custom House
and by bringing the State Central Committee
to bear upon the Tammany strikers in the
Republican clubs of the city; when we fiud
that, while Tammany provides for the luoky
fellows discharged from the Custom House.
Mr. Greeley and his city committee stand by
. i . ri' I 1 -3 r
llieir xuuiuiaujr uiemicu ouu ueiy iia 118-
publican State Central Committee, and
denounce it as too officiously lntermed
dlin in other people's affairs. Nay, more
the backers of Fenton and Comp.uy are
billy enough to undertake the removal of
(Jollector Murpuy on a Jinow-JNotuing
dodge, and it is only tnen tbat they dm
cover that Murphy is too much for tlie.u
The disgusted Trombone ia with Fentoa
and against Grant. It says, speaking of a
certain Republican newspaper manifesto,
that "the force of the dooument would be
grea'er did not its writer so strongly insist
tbat the Republicans ought to re-elect Sanator
Unrkling and renominate Oeueral Grant
Here is a shot both at Conkling aud Grant
AfctJn, a Western paper, the Cincinnati Com
menial, having published the opinion that
"the newspapers and politicians are opposed
to Grant, but the people are with him, the
Trombone Rays, "If the Colonel had reversed
Lis proposition it would have been at least
accurate" tbat is, he would have been as
near the mark had be said, "the newspapers
and politicians are with Grant, but the people
fire opposed to him." With such things in
the green tree in New York, what shall we
have in the dry? Mr. Fenton, perhaps, mu
sing a little one-horse independent' ticket
against General Grant for the Presidency,
and the 2 rombone lustily blowing for Fenton.
THE QUANDARY IN PHILADELPHIA.
From the X. Y. Trihune.
If an outsider might be permitted an anxi
ous inquiry, When does Philadelphia hope to
bring into the world those publio buildings?
The mountain has been so long in labor that
even the sight of a mouse would now be
grateful. Some years ago the city of brothers
who love each other (Ahem, Haggerty, et al.)
discovered that it stood in need of a new
court house, prothonotary and clerks' offices,
and immediately began a fierce and bloody
internecine war as to the site. Since then New
York has covered acres of ground with edifices
that have grown grey and hoary with time.
Cities have sprung npm the Vest, and become
1 hi. dm arks for pilgrims from all climes, but
he bnttle of the calm Quakers still rages with
unabated violence, and the first stone of those
clerks' offices is yet to be laid. Curiously
enough, the difficulty in the way of this city
(which our renders will remember as an im
measurable flat of small brick houses) is want
of room. The corporation is apparently not
able to purchase ground, and is forced to use
ore of the squares which fond and enthusi
astic Philadelphians are wont to invoke in
ceir domestic poems as the lungs ot tue city.
The question is, which lung will the city do
without? Property holders look with greedy
eyes upon the court-house that is to be, and
summon all sorts of ghostly and malarious
influences to drive it from other neighbor
hoods to their own.
The first proposal was to seize on Indepen
dence Square, so that when pilgrims from all
p&rts of the country came up at the centen
nial to look for the sacred ground on which
tie nation had its birth, they might find it
occupied with thieves aud murderers in thoir
dotk, begirt with their surrounding cora m ot
political colleagues as policemen aud counsel.
Whether Penu himselt, armored in his drab
integrity from top to toe, rose and warned his
degenerate descendants oil the hallowed
ground with a countenance more in
sorrow than in anger, whether the bid
ding ran low in that neighborhood, we
know not, but the bill was lost iu the
Legislature. Washington Square was
haunted by the dead of a whole graveyard
under it, who rose and shook their grey
locks at the invading prothonotaries. Finally
Penn Square was decided upon, and the long
Hgony was over. The city bre-ithod ag-iin.
Trees fell, grass was rooted up, aud the bit
of country became a muddy lumber-yard,
when the enemy rallied and attacked the
Legislature with a proposal that the grass be
resodded and the trees replanted, aud that
the buildings should go on the nations
birthplace, and Penn go finally to his own
place, wherever tbat might be. With the
weight of present Philadelphia justice upon
him he would not be likely to rise again.
The cause was presented to the Legislature
by a committee, and that venerable body
waited with grave attention for the tinkle
of tbat peculiar eloquence to which
their convictions are always accessible. The
young reporter who acted as spokesman, with
the overweening confidence of impulsive
youth, solicited their votes and offered them
with outstretched hands, in return his own
most distinguished consideration. No other
consideration was hinted at or whispered. It
is needless to state that the Legislature be
came instantly oblivious to the presence of
tie committee or the young man. The war
htill rages; publio buildings of gigantia pro
portions daily go up aud are demolished in
each morning's paper; the combatants soowl
darkly at each other on the streets; but over
the squares no sound of the hammer is heard.
As erst in the grave of Alonzo the Brave, the
worms they creep in and the worms they
creep out.
What is to be done? Will no New York
capitalist go to the relief of these distressed
brotherly lovers? When the Centennial does
arrive, and people from all nations lumber on
her back, will our neighbor have no prisoner's
dock to which she can point with pride, and
say, "Here Justice presides, quite blind
folded. Behold my thieves' headquarters, the
rendezvous of my favorite sons, where they
obtain both honor and renown t .

W. W. FEMNER,

Sole Agent for Strater'a Patent.
This machine la entirely different irom the old
ttjle Beer Pump. It performs Its own work, and
1 1 quires no labor. Tli liquor are forced up from
l he cellar to the bar-room by means of a pressure of
iar made by force of water, and can be drawn just
us clear as directly from the barrel.
Among the many advantages claimed for this
machine are, that the beer or ale never becomes
liar, and can be drawn as cold as ice water with very
t mall expense of ice.
The Apparatus can always be seen at my place in
operation, or at any of the principal Botoons in this
