Evil Elects Of the New tariff

Much anxiety is felt by the different members
Of the Administration in regard to the working
of the new tariff, and fears have been expressed
by the President bimself that under the Trea-
sury will soon be bankrupt. Several deputstions
OF business men have waited upon the President
10 learn what Ia to be the policy of the Govern.
ment, and the uniform representation is that the
present uncertainty as TO the future and the ex-
pected effects of the new tariff are destroying
trade and legitimate speculation. II is singu.
lar fact that merchants who, two months ago,
were fercely shouting ''no coercion, :, now ask
for anything rather than inaetioa. s'Let us know
what 10 expect" they say "if we are TO have
war,we can adjust our business to that condition
os things; but If the government lies upon its
oars, with a high tariff In New York and low
onein New Orleans we are undoDe." tits be-
coming apparent that this government must en-.
ter into negotiations with the sham government,
or adjust the United States tariff to that Of the
Confederates. Il seems now to be understood
that no attempt will be made to enforce the
revenue laws at seeded ports, at least for the
present. The President remarked yesterday 10
Western member of Congress EVERY for
tress that can be held will be held--where the
duties can be collected sbey will be collected. !"
But the trouble Isl, the Morrill, tariff can not be
executed In all the seeded States, and the
President has already been informed by promi-
nent western men that II will be utterly impos
sIble to prevent free goods from flooding the
West, provided they are allowed TO enter et New
Oreans.--- Washington correspondent ~. ~.

The Buroh Divorce c,seY

A correspondent writing from Chicagoto the
Milwaukee Democrat says: lco7 ~ 12il
"The Butch divorce case Is still before the
Court on q motion for new trial. Whatever
the effect of the fret trial may have been upon
the public, It has either failed to convince Mr.
Burch of the injustice Of his demand, or has
failed to overcome his obstinacy. IL Is not true,
as has been reported, that the trial cost him
10000, or that it has used up large portion
Of his fortune. Ihsye the most reliable inior-
nation that he is worth more to-day than he
was at the time the suit was commenced. The
cost of the suit was large, though somewhat less
than SIS, 900, while In one speculation alone
Mr. Burch is said to have realized much larg-
er sum of money. The report that the parties
are negotiating to live together again., Is. also
unfouoded. am reliably informed that they
are negotiating for permanent and peaceable
separation, With prospects Of success. Neither
party is willing to endure another trial, II Il
can be avoided. Let Us hope that the detaill
of another trial may never be spread before the

are granted them that their rights will be re-

sustained in that refusal by a majority Of the

expected to follow their example, until the Unit

) The Plea Of Ignorance.

Mr.. Lincoln solemnly promised in bis inau-
gural that the whole power Of the Government
should be used to "hold and possess" the prop
perty and places belonging to the Union; and
these words were understood to assert deter
mination not, in any event, to abandon sump-
ter, PlckeuB, or any government possession In
the seeded States-in fact, not to do anything,
directly or by Implication, that would even
seem TO recognize disunion. Since Il has been
found necessary to pursue different policy, the
partizans of the Administration advance some
queer reasons for the change. As q specimen,
we give the following from the able Washington
correspondent Of the North american: ~,
She Presidents hesitation after the declara-
tions Of bis inaugural, Is easily, understood
They were made before be bad any knowledge
Of the actual state Of facts, and hence may be
modified without involving any abandonment
of principle or supposed inconsistency. He as
serted broad principle, which could only be
vindicated to the extent Of his ability, and with
the means at his command. He could not well
be expected TO perform impossibilities."
We don't question the entire truthiulness Of
this excuse; but ills certainly q very humilia-
ting one, 1t appears that whom Mr.. Lincoln
penned his inaugural, he was totally ignorant
Of the actual state of jaets-knew nothing Of the
perils environing the Union--in short, had not
opened his eyes to the true state Of the case.
This is the sort Of statesman the Republican
party selected to control the destinies of the
country at O time of imminent peril--a man
whose best friends are compelled to put In the
plea OF of ignorance as An excuse for inconsis.
tencyl This total ignorance also explains why

A Washington correspondent crowds consid.

The worst disappointed men who come to
Washington are the little town and ward politi-
clans, who, having "stumped" their own locali-
ties, fancy the whole world, including Mr.
Lincoln, must be fully satisfied that, but for
each Of these, the Republican party would have
been defunct. These gentlemen experiencemuch
modification when presented to the President,
In finding that he fails TO recognize them. One
of them, on being presented last week, gave biz
name and residence to the party introducing
him, which were repeated to Mr.. Lincoln, who
took him by the hand and passed him gently
along TO make room for the next one. OuI

1.-THE Journal is sorry to see some Repnb-
lcAn papers exhibit an unkind feeli0 toward
CARL ScHURz. The reason It assigns for its re-
gret Is that ScHURz represents large element
Of our (the Republican, party, which We (they)
are eager to recognize in all political canvasses
and which gives backbone, courage aud direct
ness to our (the;r) purposes, where they would
otherwise be very often wanting" That is a
frank admission. Il wants scRURz promoted to
q foreign mission, not because OF his quail
fca,ions or the peculiar fitness Of his ap-
pointment, but because he Is useful to the
party, and is the representative Of an ele-
ment in the organization, holding the most
intense antl'alavery, disunion sentiments. That
IL why the Journal Is sorry to see some Repub-
lican papers speak unkindly of ScHURz. He has
backbone, and is ready to encourage and pro-
mote the JOHN BRowNIrEs 10 all their malevo-
lent and wicked designs. He and his squad o
lAwless men--for he represents an element op-
posed to all law and all Feligion--answer th,
purposes" the Republican party have in view
and therefore the Journal is anxious that the,
shall participate in all the houors and emol.
uments which Mr.. LINCOLN has 10 bestow, since
they have "merit" Of the highest character.

he shows up the economy OF the Federal Gov
ernment in the following style;
The way the Government gets its work done
Ia curious. As IN illustration, you and your
family meet Ia the convention Of the WHOLE and
adopt resolution authorizing the construction
Of hen.coop in your back yard. You at once
appoint me superintendent Of the work, putting
a thousand or two Of dollars In the bank for me
to check on. ] get you to appoint my brother
in-law chief engineer
Iappoint two of my brothers assistant super
intendents, and my brotherinIaw appoints
two of bis brothers assistant engineers-all at
your expense. We buy us each last horse and
buggy, and ride around towu, driok cocktails
and play billiards, until the bank deposit gives
out, when we make out a printed report Of sew
enty.three pages, furnishing you complete
\ survey Of your back yard, and vast amount oi
statistical information with regard TO the num-
Der Of hens you are likely to have for the next
forty years. We wind up the report with the
announcement that the cite Of the ben-coop has
been selected, and call for another appropria
ton to prosecute the work, which we assure you
will be done with "vigor." You place another
thousand or two in the bank, and we employ
two hundred hands at three dollars day to
transport seventy-fve cents, worth of lumber
| (Which costs you under our management about
ten times that many dollars) to the place OF op
erations, which requires about three months.
| In the meantime, we drive around and 60 on
vigorously with the liquor and the billiards
We then come up with another report and de-
mand for another appropriation. With this We
get the walls Of the structure up, and with one
or two more appropriations, and great many
more cocktails and billiards, we get the thing
covered In; and at the end Of twelve months
which we very appropriately style our "hsca
