snow Your Lighss-Duty or the Revenue
Service.
In Europe laws are made to be obeyed, but
in this country they are observed or set aside
as may suit the convenience Of those concerned.
Some two years ago Congress passed law or
dsring all vessels to show at night two lights.
one red and the other under the penalty
Of fine for each neglect A trip down the
Sound or along tho coast will convince any one
that this law is q dead letter. The captains
evade or violate it with impunity. Some de-
clare that they can see better without lights.
Some cannot see the use Of lights on moon
shiny night Some keep lanterns on board,
but never light them. So, for the sake Of saw
ing few cents worth Of oil. they endanger not
only their own vessels and their own lives, but
the lives of the passengers Of any passing
steamer which may happen TO run foul Of them
in the darkness. n
It would be very easy matter to correct
this evil if our laws were Intended to be
obeyed. We have revenue service, the
officers of which constitute coast police 1t
should be the duty Of these officers to see that
the law in regard to lights is faithfully carried
out Instead of this, the revenue cutters arc
employed as mere pleasure yachts for govern
ment officials If Collsctor Draper wants to take
q sail. or Chief Justice Chase desires to make
stumping tour, one Of these cutters is ordered
out, and steams away at heavy daily expense
and with no possible profit 70 the government.
When not thus engaged the cutters are lying
at anchor in some harbor down East or down
South. There is very little or no ocean SNUG
Cling, and consequently the cutters have
nothing to do, unless some official takes
pleasure trip. But If the revenue service
attended strictly to its duty a. the police Of the
coast both officers and men could be kept con-
stantly and usefully employed.
Secretary McCulloch should at once order
the revenue cutters to cruise constantly up
and down the coast and see that the laws Of
Congress in relation to our merchant marine
are rigidly enforced. Whenever vessel is
found without the proper lights conspicuously
displayed the revenue officers should run along
side Of her, board her, take her in tow, and
bring her to the nearest port to be fined as the
law Directs, A few examples Of this kind
would cause every skipper to show bis lights
every night, moon or no moon. This might
not be such agreeable work as sailing about
with gay party of officials and consuming
Custom House champagne by the basket, but
it would be moro profitable work for the gov
eminent II some reform Of this sort be not
quickly carried out we shall have to record
some fine morning dreadful accident on Long
Island Sound. such ~ collision between one
of the passenger steamers and coasting
schooner, and the loss Of several hundred
valuable lives. The revenue service has been
largely increased during the war, and Il now
costs enough 10 be useful % we'll a. orns-
mental When this matter Of lights il attended
to we shall have other similar suggestions to
make.

The POLITICAL PARTIES AND IssUEa-Else-
where will be found an interesting political
letter from our Saratoga correspondent The
developments which he gives in regard to the
platform and issues which tho Chase party,
consisting Of the radicals and Jacobins Of the
North, are trying to force upon the public are
worthy of the consideration of all who feel an
interest in the welfare of the country. It will
be seen that the policy Of retaining the South
exclusively under military rule, thus necessitat-
ing an enormous increase Of public debt, is the
supporting pillar to their policy of universal
negro suffrage through Presidential procla-
nation. It also appears that the leaders of the
Chase faction already anticipate . failure in
their effort to force an Issue between that and
Mr.. Johnson's reorganization policy at the APP
preaching State elections, and are therefore
directing their labors towards the manipula-
ton Of Congress with the view of preventing
the admission Of the representatives from the
South, and then define the basis upon which
they can be admitted in the future. In this
way they hope TO keep the question open until
they can secure the votes of the blacks, and
make their success in the future, as they be-
lieve, certain.
There are many contingencies In this pro-
gramme, and 1t Is not at all improbable that
when tho people come TO realize that II will
keep the business Of the country unsettled and
in an uncertain state, and result in an enor-
NOUS increase Of our debt thus adding to the
burden of taxation, they will SO emphstically
repudists Il, that even Congress will have to
respect the decision. In the fact, however, Of

POLITICS IN New JERsEY.-The republican
party of New Jersey hold their State Conven-
ton to-day at Trenton, the capital of the State.
A convention Of the war democracy of the
State was called to meet ct the same place yes
terday, for the purpose, as was supposed, Of
forming an alliance with the republicans and
uniting their combined strength TO secure .
Legislature that would ratify the emancipation
amendment to the national constitution.
The war democracy, however, a. will
be seen by our Trenton despatch, did
not "come to time," there being but
1--WE delegates present 1t the hour for
assembling, and no convention was held.
It will be remembered that the Legislature Of
New Jersey rejected, at Its session last winter,
the resolution endorsing the action Of Congress
on the amendment TO the constitution abolish
ing and forever prohibiting slavery. II il
therefore anticipated that II will form tho
principal issue In the State canvass this
fall. Thus, while every other Northern
State has recognized the final end Of slavery
in this country, and the Southern States
have been brought to o practical realization
that the institution has been abolished the little
State of New Jersey Il just getting ready to
decide whether they will favor that idea or not
The Convention to-day will be called upon to
nominate Q candidate for Governor, and we
presume that there will be an exciting squabble
between the factions Of the party In reference
to the platform. There IL, however, such a
mixture Of politics and railroads in that State
that II can hardly be expected that they will
do anything which will furnish any criterion to
the line Of action of the party politicians In
