EVENING BULLETIN.
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.

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.
