Vcdnctday, February 2d, 1889, OEMERAI, OBAST’S CAHIMKr, General Grant has a distinct method in his habit of holding his tongue, and to use a slang phrase “he is not as dumb as he looks.'' He possesses the faculty of speaking at the right time, and he has ■thrown out a remark or two in reference to his Cabinet appoint ments which go far to relieve the anxieties of thoße who are feverishly waiting the Im portant revelations of the next ten days. General Grant announces that his Oabine'. will be composed of civilians. This is de hghtfnl news to those who bad considered the Navy and War Departments as off of the political “slate,” as it widens the chances for those civilians whose friends are so earnestly seeking "their promotion to the high places of office. General Grant will tender a compli- mentary nomination to General Schofield, for whose talents and services he entertains the very highest opinion. But it is plainly inti mated that General Schofield will give way to a civil appointment, aad resume his posi tion in the army. General Grant also announces that Penn Bylvania will have a Cabinet officer. There is sneh a manifest fitness in awarding thie honor to the Biate that was the confessed battle-field ol the October and November elections, that thiß announcement is only in accordance with the general sentiment of the country. The grand question is as to the man and the department, and this question can only be determined by General Grant’s own unbiassed judgment. Our own prefer ence iB, beyond all comparison, in fhvor ol Governor Curtin; but there would have been a manifest impropriety m dictating to General Grant upon a subject of which he will judge according to the prin ciples which he has fixed ior his own guid ance. Governor Curtin, by reason of his many personal qualities, by reason of his peculiarly representative relation to the whole State of Pennsylvania, and, most of all, by mason of his eminent, protracted and patri otic services to the cause of the Union, as one of the first and last of the loyal War Governors, would grace the highest position which General Grant could award to him. But whether the selection shall fall aponhim,— and it can fall nowhere with more general satisfaction, —or upon any other one of the men who distinguished themselves among the loyal masses of Pennsylvania dur ing the great struggle for the nation’s life, we have no doubt that General Grant will be guided by a high and kfagle regard to the ef. ficient discharge of the duties of the station, and that he will gather around him such a Cabinet as will fully reflect the great princi ples of the great party that has made him President of the United Slates. TME E*A llAtil A i IN IdlarVßS, V/e print upon another page the story told •by Mr. Porter C. Bliss, Secretary of the A.me jricaD Legation in Paraguay, 0 f the indignities hasped upon him and his colleague. Mr. Mis terman, by Lopez, and of the sutlering en dured by them while they were in tee tyrant’s power. These gentlemen, entitled by the law of nations to immunity from nr- rest, were seized upon an absurd and im possible charge ofconßplring against Lopez’s wretched governinent, anerwere then sob l jeeted to a series of tortures so excruciating that in the delirium of their,agony they wrote confessions, at the dictation of their jailors, implicating themselves, the American Min ister and others, in plots which never had any existence but in the brains of their tor mentors. They were starved, beaten, ex posed to the inclement weather, mutilated, and tortured with a devilish instrument which surpasses the thumb-sarew and the rack in its Capacity for inflicting pain. The account of the agony endured by these men recalls the stories of the Spanish Inquisition in its worst days. It ts piteous, terrible and most monstrous; and it gains fresh horror when we reflect that this outrage was committed upon men who were representatives of the American nation; that no word of protest went out from our government against the infamous action of Lopez; that the confes sions extorted from the sufferers by torture were used as evidence against them here at home; and, worst of all, that there was a fleet of United States vessels almost within cannon shot of the place where these men suffered. The most ingenious thing that on American naval officer could conceive of in the emer gency, was to imjJlore Lopez to permit these emaciated, mangled American ambassadors to be brought to the United States for trial. Instead of treating them with consideration, both Captain Kirkland and Admiral Davis, if Messrs. BUbb and Masterman are to be be lieved, insulted them on board their vessels, and attempted to degrade them in the eyes of the Paraguayans and of the sailors. Whether this is true or not, it is manifest that Admiral Davis, instead of attempting to negotiate upon humiliating terms with Lopez for the bodies of these two men, should have demanded them of him with a threat to bombard Ascun sion in the event of refusal, and to follow up the act with infliction of further punishment as soon as he could obtain assistance from home. The government and the people would have sustained him in such a course, and applauded him for it. Now, the people reflect, with a sense of shame, upon the facts hat a wretched desperado, despised and hated t,y his own people, was permitted to torture two Americans whose persons should have been sacred, while Admiral Davis and his officers stood impassively by, without inter ference, and, as Masterman’B account Bays, actually hob-nobbing in a friendly way with the Paraguayan authorities. It is too late for the government to atone for this scandalous indifference by chastising Lopez. He is a fugitive and an outcast, with out position, power or responsibility. Bat we demand an investigation of the alleged conduct of Admiral Davis and his subordi nates. If it is true that they maltreated Bliss and Mabterman, or if it can be proved that they failed to protect them to the best of their ability while they were in Lopez’s power, they deserve to be punished with the utmost severity. In the meantime Bliss and Master man should be relieved at once of all obliga tion to undergo a trial for conspiracy. The idea of men in their position undertaking to conspire against such a government is su premely ridiculous, and should not be enter tained seriously for an hour. We hope, however, that the case of these two men will inspire our law-makers and our executive authorities with a determination hereafter to be more zealous in protecting and defending American citizens in remote coun tries. There has been much negligence in this respect of late years, and it is nearly time that we bad ma'de it understood the world over that our government will be quick to avenge wrongs Inflicted upon its people. Train's Civis Arru.ricanus sum should bo a talisman against the exercise of fancied au thority against an American in every quarter of the globe. THE sew VO It ft ELECTION The trite proverb that “the darkest hour i.- jUBt befoie day,”mußt certainly be vended in ' the case of the last New York elections. Tnt 1 report of the Congressional Committee, ap 1 pointed at the request of the New York ' Union League, was presented to Congress yesterday, and it reveals an extent ot political corruption and infamy which, al ' though well understood already by those whose special attention has long been directed to the subject, will startle and amaze the masses of the people of this country. The investigations of this Committee have been laborious, and, considering the lime allotted to it, very thorough. The report shows a condition of things in the city of New Yotk so utterly shocking; frauds so mon strous in their extent and so atrocious in their character; demoralization so wide-spread in its influence, and comprehending every class of the community, that it cannot be doubted that the dawn of a better day must speedily follow such “blackness of darkness.” The Congressional report shows only a part of this odious picture, but it is more than enough to make men shudder for the future of thiß country, and for the perpetu ity of Republican institutions. Unless a radi cal reform shall spring out of this sink of political corruption, it must inevitably spread its poison through the whole body- politic, with a result which can bring nothing but national decay and death. Every imaginable form of fraud appears to have been perpetrated by the Democratic managers of the New York elections last Fall, and that on a most gigantic scale. Men voted irom two to forty times; the naturalization of foreigners was made the merest farce, a single Court issuing 3,100 papers in a single day, nearly a thousand on another day, and averaging 718 per day for a month. In the Supreme Court, 27,068 blank certificates are wholly unaccounted for, and the Committee estimate, from the evidence before them, that over sixty-eight thousand fraudulent certificates were issued by Democratic Judges and Committees, while there is no evidence of any Republican Judge having granted one. These are but specimens ol the monstrous frauds by which New York was carried by the Democracy last Fall, and it is against buch outrages upon" American liberty that the country needs and demands to be protected. I Such a vast conspiracy as thiß, embracing au | it undoubtedly does, nearly every prominent Democratic official of the city of New York, THE DAILY EVENING BULLETINS WEDNESDAY, is an appalling thibgtoencounter. The Re publicans of Nevr Yorkare-powericss to pun : ish these crimes, for the of the ; State, the courts and r the officers of justice are nearly all of ttieni' parties to these out rageous offences'Bgainst lhw; and common de jcency. The appeal is necessarily to Con gress, and the next Congress must* take the subject up, with the serious determination to put an effectual end to such iniquities. The Committee suggests methods by .which the several departments of'these eleotion frauds may be controlled. They recommend the withdrawal of the power of naturaliz atlon from the New York Courts,as no longer fitto be entrusted with thiß important office. The propriety of this measure was so apparent to the House, that the Committee’s bill was promptly passed, and we trust that the Senate will be equally prompt in stamping out at least one of the many plague spots which are indicated in the report of the Committee. The bill might have been made a little more comprehensive without injury, for there are courts, which only differed in the extent of their operations, last Fall, from the courts of New York city. The Committee also recommend a uniform day for Congressional elections throughout the country. They pro vide for contesting the election of President and Vice President And they present a Constitutional amendment, Regulating the appointment of President and Vice President either by electors chosen by single districts, or by a direct election of the people. These suggestions will, undoubtedly, receive the grave consideration of Congresß, and out of this slough of political corruption some es sential reform will spring, which will rescue the ballot- box from its present degradation, and cause American citizenship once more to be regarded as a real dignity and a prize of high value. TAXATION IN ye*: BUBAL IMS- TRICIHI There is much confusion in the public mind in regard to the taxation of property in the agricultural and rural districts of Puila delphia, and we understand that the Receiver of Taxes is experiencing serioul difficulties in makmg the collection of taxes from thea sections of the city. We publish to-day, the law which was enacted by the last Legiala lure on this subject. It is very explicit, pro vidiDg that there shall be three grades of tax ation. The built-up portions of the city pay the tax-rate fixed by Councils; the rural or suburban portions pay two-thirds of thb rate; and the agricultural or farming portions pay one-half rate. The Receiver of Taxe bas no option in the matter,and if the citizens in the out-lying districts find the provisions of the law oppressive and unjust, we would suggest that an amicable test case should be made up, and this important question thus settled. Everybody agrees that these districts should not pay the full tax,but it is extremely difficult te determine a principle of taxation which shall operate with exact justice in all cases. While the law stands as it now is, the Receiver of Taxes has nothing to do but tu enforce it. Senator Henszey makes an explanation. The Weighing bill is a little too heavy for him to shoulder, especially as he has the Twelfth and Sixteenth street Railway to carry. He wishes it understood that “in presenting the Weighing bill, he merely exe cuted the request of some influential con stituents.” We give Senator Henszey the benefit of his explanation, and would then respectfully submit the following questions : First: Is a Senator bound to present to the Senate every bill that is placed in his hands lor that purpose ? If so, what is to prevent him from keeping himself right on the record by assenting to or dissenting from it, when he presents it ? Second: Who are the “in tluential constituents” of Senator Henszey, i eferred to ? Their names are given in the bill as John J. Kersey, J. D. McKee, W. C. Lawson, 0. M. Carpenter, Charles J. Wolbart, and J. B. Hood. The occupations of these gentlemen, as given in the directory, are respectable, and, for aught we know to the oontrary.they are entitled to be considered among the “in fluential” constituents of Mr. Henszey. But why are they any more influential than any one else ? In other words, what is the ‘ in fluence,” and how much of it is to be brought to bear to procure the passage of such a bill as this ? Last : Is Senator Henszey for, or againßt this bill ? He does not say in his explanation. Was he against it when he presented it ? Or has he turned against it, as any wise man should, when he found that it was a bill that the people of Philadelphia would not tolerate ? We have given the Senator the benefit of his explanation, and we trust he will enlighten the rest of his in fluential constituents on the points involved in the above queries. ThereHs now a living Duke of Orleans, for the first \ time since 1842, when Louis Philippe'sion bearing that title was killed by an accident near Paris. The Countess of Paris gave birth to a son at York llouße, Twickenham, England, on the 6th inst., who is to bear the title of Duke of Orleans. He is a grandßon of the late Duke and a great grandson of Louiß Philippe T>y the mother's as well as the father’s side, his parents being first cousins. In the future complications of French politics the prince just born may give new interest to the historic title, as he is the heir apparent to the present head of the house of Orleans.

Mr. began (111.) said in the short time allotted tbero was no lime to discuss this question as a legal question. If we iutend that we ahull ever resume specie payments, it is as well that we should let the world know of it now. This question had been before the country for nearly two years, and it might as well' be settled now as any other lime. He supposed there was no wise man in this country now who believed that the best plan was to pay off our bonds with a new Indebtedness. He (Logan) had leaned that way himself once, but fie no w believed that the payment of the debt with another debt would be no payment at all. Ii is all nonsense to discuss this question any longer. It is nonsense to talk of paying two thousand million of bonds in os manv millions of gnenbacks. We had better let tbe'world know by solemn declaration that we intend to pay oar debts in bard money, not in a depreciated paper currency. Gen. Logau argned at 60melength in fuvor ot ihc passage of the bill. Mr. Coburn (Ind.) protested against tho pas sage of the bill. Tbe title was to “strengthen the public credit." No eneh word wsb need: d. It is good enough now. The law authorizing issuing of greenbacks mode them a legal tender for all debts of the Government, except tor in teres! on bonds. This law governed now, and it is not necessary to look Into the law authoriziftb thu issue of the bonds. The question of funding the public debt was involved in this issue. The holders of bonds payable in greenbacks, at 6 per cent., will sur render them for boDds payable In gold, at 4 per cent, gladly, espcclallv foreign holders. Funding the debt at a lower Interest alone od this idea' gold contracts will iDcreoso the price of gold, double the demand for It, and force u* away from specie payment. This bill begin* with im plied strengthening of credit, and ends with a measure that will destroy it. Mr. Delano (Ohio) argned In favor of the bill. He enid the first secilon pledged the faith of the United States to pay In coin, or its equivalent, all the interest-bearing obligations of the Uaited States, except in cases whore the law authorizes that tho same shall be paid in lawful or other currency thnn gold and silver. He said that all efforts to create paper Into money were futile nnd mischievous, come from which source they may. If he was asked why make this declaration or pledge now, he answered, be cause tbe conduct of a certain political orwanizi tion, and of Individuals, had rendered Unneces sary.
