Mr. Henry C. Carey, the eminent, political

property.. As to giving , foreign publishers
a mon poly of our market; we are as'strong; .
ly opposed to that as any ortd can be. Let
Mr. Carey place as high an impost duty on
foreign books as he pleases,; but we do insist
that not only justice lint :Com - m' on - decency
requires that we should pay foreign authors
a fair compensation for the . `fruits of their
genius and labors which Ne so largely en:-

ics scent to be purely of the commercial;
sort; but after all, honesty is the-best policy
with nations as well ns individuals; '.- .
The most interesting ricent event in the
field_ fnational politics s the resignation by_
Col. Forney of his position as , Collector of
the Port of Philadelphia. Ile writes to the
President that he accepted the ofike most
reluctantly, because be apprehended it would
seriously interfere with-his business, and es
pecially with his independence as a journal
ist. His letter goes onto say, " Ten months'
experience has so entirety confirmed this im
pression, that V find myself constrained to
send you this, 'my resignation of that office,
to take effect on the frst of March next. I
shall then return to ay profession ,as a far
more congenial field of 'usefulness, and de
vote all my efforts to my newspaper.and to
the energetic support of the principles of
the great Republican party." The peculiar
tone of this has excited no little comment
among those politicians who think they can
"read between the lines." Some think it
means that the editor of the Peas is prepar
ing to oppose Grant's re-nomination; oth•
ers, that he is intending to support him with
better effect,' because'more independently;,
,others, that helivishes to heal the breach be-'
omen the President's friends and
, -
anti-slavery leaders, Sumner, Greeley, and
Schurz; others, 'still, that he is getting him
self in P osition fill Cameron's shoes in
the Senate. This fast hypothesis receives
so m e support from the Washington telegrard'
in the Pfe.4;4 announcing the-resignation. It
:al's an independent journalist should hold
no office except one of high honor, or one
conferred iiy" the people, and that a seat in
the Senate or House of Representatives is
very different from the Collectorship, and
leaves an editor measurably independint.-:-r
But it is only fair' to assume that the true
reason for his resignation is the one given
in his letter and in a subsequent,editorial . ,
a here he says thai lie_gc,ies back to hisjonr- .

W'AbHiffaTON, Feb. 12, 1872.
CENTIIALIZATIOI4, WHAT
. DOE6T MEAN?
Whenever some great and beneficent mea
sure is pending like that which sets apart
forever the proceeds of the public domain
for the promotion* o> public : , Qchoole,. or a
law for the protection - of immigrants in
trvnailu, or proiision for a postal telegraph
system, the cry is raised of ." centralized
despotism." No greater absurdity has ever
been formed into a partisan watchword.
The - people haVe two sets of legislative
agents whom they elect every Two years.—
One Set they send topongreAs and the other
to the State LegislatUres; and as both are
changed equally often_ and are equally de
pendent upon the will of the majority, it is
only'a question of expediency whether the
law shall be enacted by the one or the other
legislative body.
Uniformity of laws is essential to the uni
ty of a nation. The national' bankia have
done not - otily much to consolidate tts, as a
nation, but they; are both .acoicimical and
convenient. Suppose Congress never had
the power of creating a uniform coin or
currency—how loOse Would be the bonds of
union_ between the States.

policy, instead of fostering sectional pecu

Tar. WASIITNGTON TREATY QUESTION.
The petulant retnarks of Mr. Gladstone
and the sudden, cOseless, and ilheonsidered
agitation of the London press, - in
England seems to be capable of manufactu
ring ready-Made - opinions - for the entire isl
and, have taken the official'public by sur
prise.
_Thus far tt, has been regarded as a
political dodge to iegain lost popularity and
to stem the growing tide of resubilcanism.
If England's old hostility can be revived,
republicanism will to some gtent share the
odium of the Republic; butAhis is a dan
:gerOlA'iiirat;lor 'the ilOgs of discord and
war are more easily let loose than chained
again.
---
Let us "state the ease as briefly as possible.
i i
The Boardlof Arbitrators ( Gres 'Britain,
the United -States, - and: Switidri 1;d) .. have
before it as theft ; the tOffait i Ifelieaty
and,the protoeoroft proceeditga: -_, •
If then the United States, the - plaintiff
in this case,' has chained damags beyond
the-letter - of :ihe treaty,.England, -- ,whalethe
defendant, can demur :and • ask{- that the
Board strike so much from the case; or it
can plead the geneml issue, traversing that
portion of the- complaint which relates to
consequential damages: If then, notwith
standing thisl demurrer, the Board should
award damages not sanctioned by the trea
ty, England Would be in a position to repu
diate said treaty for misconstruction, and
take the consequences. .
As the case stands, England has no right
to hold in advance that the Board agreed
upon will not do justice in the case. If she
has not lawyers of sufficient ability to meet
Evatts,..lt. is her misfortune; but perhaps
she can procure them on_ the continent, or
even in the United States.
The damages claimed by the United States
are three fold: First, for the actual destruc
tion of the ships and property captured by
the Alabama and other cruisers. Secondly,
the. damagesicausekto .our commerce by
the rise of the ra a of insurance, which
drove our ships om the sea; and, lastly,
the damages cause by the prolongation of
i
the_war. . . - -
"The last class of damages however is only
urged as collateral, to show how great our
grievance is, and ri,) t
for the purpose of get
ting an equivelent,lbecause no human pow
r can adjust the amount. The last class of
4emote damages was properly presented in
aid of 'the two former, and; as a lawyer's
argument, is In proper place. It is for Eng
land to show that under thi treaty and the
generateoustruction of laws no - treti6li ; can
betaiisir cif . damages of so remote a degree,
It seems to us that a request from the defen
dant to the plaintiff in this case to plead and
4gua his case in accordance with his views,
L 4 both impudent. and ridiculous. If we
must fight it slut, there can never be a case
where the right is so completely on our side.

Republican Pxomfres Redeemed. A
There is not a promise made by the Re
-publican partSeto the 'People of the United
States which hes not been redeemed.
It was under Republican auspices and by
Republican measures that the insurrection
ary States were restored to the Union. But
for these measures,
wisely conceived andju
diciously executed, those States would still
be under military governments and practi
cally severed as States from their relations
to the common government. The Democ
racy made the war that imperiled the Gov
ernment. The Republicans met the insur
gents, conquered theml, and saved' the Gov
ernment. Having done -this as a party, as a
party they were force& to reconstruct the
shattered Southern fabric. The Democrats
would 'give them no 1 aidin"this work. -It
devolved therefore on the Republ ican party,
first, to save Southern 'society from destruc
tion, to beat back the foes who • were assail
ing the very citadel of
. t n he Union, and then
restore order and. gove ment in the South.
This achievement was ,equal to that of fourt
din_g new States. I
The heavy debt necessarily incurred to
stiPpres.s the rebellion -has be en managed
with consummate ability and skill. If the
finances of the nation had been mismanaged
and had failed during the rebellidn, the Cdn
federates would,- probebly, - have triumphed.
The war currency is! a pet currency.-
has been no repudiation, no scaling;
no compromise with creditors, but the in
terest has been promptly met, the principal
is reduced at the rate ,td el ht mi ll ions per
month; and the credit of e Government
at home and abroad islesg od as it would
i f
have b.een if there had been no rebellion.—
At the same time - the ]taxes have been re
duceCtuitl the hinding of the national debt
at a lower rate of interest has been success
fully inaugurated.
What party in the ivhole history of the
country has so well managed the fi nances?
Can any fair-Minded:than find fault with a
party.which has achlei-ed such results? The
credit of a nation . is ev erything to it. Its
currency is its life-blood. A nation witlibut
credit, and with a debased and worthless
curreney t e.xistsl only in name.lt can have
neither vitality nor resppvtbuity,

American people. We believe the people,-

The 'Commissioners conclude that as the improve
ments during the year 1872-amount to over eleven hun
dred dollars, and principally in buildings. itwould net
be right to charge it to the townships, but, should b 3
deducted from the account ($905 43) to be paid by the
county poor.
The price charged he townships, Am., for board at
the County Rouse, upon the estimate of tie cost per
week for each pauper, is a small fraction over two dol.
lam and three cents per week. This includes every.
thing expended upon the paupers—food, clothing,
medicipo, schooling, &c. There have been at the
County House during the year 84 paupers, and an ay.
erage of over 43 during the whole year. 25 of theta
are over 70 years of ago, and 10 of these over 80 yeata
of age. Nearly all of them are sickly and need a great
deal of waiting upon. The balance are nearly all idi
otic and insane. The Commissioners were compelled
this year to build an extra building in which tb leep
the insane, so they could. be kept from doing roar to
'themselVes, to others, and to property. The Sziperitt
tendent is compelled to hire all the help toe r Cuir
the farm and to do the work in the house, not ' Wag
but little help from the paupers. The cost of peter
ing and keeping the insane at the Lunatic Rolpital At
Himisburg is $3 per week. This does not incitde
clothing or any other expenses. The Commissioners
in allowing temporary relief outside the COMAY - lionge,
havetencrally consulted with the townahip Superli-
Bora before granting it, and would urge the passage bf
a law authorizing a county poor tax instead of a twat,-
I shiP tax. The Superintendent, Mr. Robinson, Still
meets the approbation of the Commissioners and' the
inmates of the County House, and he deserves ranch
credit for his managenient. The county is forttuAte.
in having such a man to manage the county property.
And his humanity to the paupers is worthy of Praise.
