New-York tribune., 1868-05-08

The German Zollyerein Parliament has, by
large majority, rejected the address from the
Party of German Unity. The Cable has not
informed us Of the contents of this address,
but it probably prayed for an enlargement of
the functions of the Zollverein Parliament so
as to make it in every respect the Parliament
of the German Nation, and thus complete
the National unity. The large majority against
the address indicates that the Government of
Prussia has used its influence against it. Prus-
Sia desires a stronger current Of public opinion
in South Germany than shows itself at present
in favor of union before she is willing to
assume the responsibility for decisive acts.

This does not include the 10000 for printing the Cor
poration Manual, which appropriated in a separate
bill
We defy any one familiar with our Munici-
pal affairs to say that he does not knOw that
this is far too much-at least 100000 more
than is needed or should be expended. 1t is
inserted, not because the City nee Is any such
expenditure under these heads, but because
the haTpies who stand ready to clutch it must
somehow be stated at the public cost.
-Four daily and three weekly papers are to
be selected to advertise for the Corporation.
OF course, the selection Will be made from
among those meager in circulation and worth
less in character. The money paid to three
weeklies will especially be thrown into the sea.
Small as their issues are, few Of them will ever
be read in our City; the money of the tax
payers is paid to these party hacks with per-
feet consciousness that no good is to be real
lied therefrom. The little oracles of faction
need money; their masters prefer to take il
out Of the City Treasury rather than put their
hands into their own pockets so said, so done.
AS a general rule, the money paid for Adver-
tising on the City's behalf is disbprsed in in
verse proportion to the value of the jouT2al as
an advertising medium. In other words: the
less value in the advertising, the greater the
need (and greed) Of the recipient of Municipal
bounty. -t
From the first to the last day Of the session,
the Republicans have been obliged to fight ex-
trayagance and plunder at every step. We do
not imply that they were universally found
faithful, for some of them were not but we do
say that whatever was done on behalf of the
taxpayers was done by Republicans The AS

Said Andrew Johnson at Cleveland, in that
memorable display Of oratOrical pyrOtechnics-
"Whom the Gods intend to destroy, they first
"make mad" To be sure this was not the
first utterance of the words, but they received
an added significance as they fell from his
lips. There is very little doubt from The tes-
tmony Of witnesses who had the distin-
guished honor to hear this flourish of the
Presidential trumpet that Andy was mad
on that occasion. Indeed it was in response
to an exhortation to restrain his temper that
he made this opposite quotation. If, in addi-
ton to being an orator, it should turn out that
for once in his life our President had been a
prophet, History might not be utterly baifled
in searching for something to commend in him.
What fitness of things would there be should
it result that Mr.. johnson, while meaning con-
fusion to others in this outburst OF second
hand rhetoric, had been speaking bis own

specting her great public interests; men very
Jealous of our national honor, very proud OF
our national enterprise, and very sincerely IN
terested in our national prosperity. These men
all say that if the bonds Of the United States
are paid in greenbacks-if the Government
intends to fabricate a sufficient number OF
millions of paper dollars to get rid of the 5-2O
bonds, it will be considered q breach Of good
faith. and the credit Of the United States in
Europe will be shaken to its very foundations.
No loans will thereafter be made for public
improvements in America, and the undeyelOped
resources of the country will remain dormant
for fifty years to come. The people mere all
know how disastrous this would be for Amer
"ica; and, as so many individuals ana charitable
" institutions, banks of savings, and trust COM
panies, in the United States, have invested
enormous capitals in Government bonds, they
look on those who have something to lose Tor
" their safety, and hope that Congress will not
disregard the expressed opinions OF those
{" whose interest requires the preservation OF
" the United States credit" Should Congress
abolish the National banks, it is believed that
tbev will throw their bonds upon the market,
and will thereby cause tremendous fall IN
their price-an event that would be ex-
ceedingly disastrous. Why, ask these financleTs'
should this subject be agitated at all, since no
body wants the bonds paid9 Why not wait till
they fall due9 This is the sober opinion OF
experienced men of business, who may be
somewhat slower than we are, but who are
likely to be much surer. Holland is old-tash-
oned, but among the old fashions she preserves
are honor, fidelity, and truth. Should not the
Judgment Of such men pass for something !
Not only have they heavy stake, but they
have training and experience; they respect US,
too, which is more than we can always say OF
ourselves. We say nothing of the gratitude we
owe them for their confidence in trying hour;
we are too sensitive to pay much heed to that
argument. To some, however, it may occur
that we should be careful how we injWe those
who have aided us in peril, or lose the respect
of those who honored us when Others Knocked.

The National Convention of German Turner'S,
prior to its adjournment at Boston yesterday,
passed resolutions sustaining the measures of
reconstruction enacted by Congress. calling for
the payment of the National Debt and interest
in accordance with the promises made by the
Government, and asking for gradual consOli-
dation of the different loans into one debt,
with a moderate rate of interest The resolu-
tions also call for the maintenance of the Mon
roe Doctrine, ask that the Tariff rates shall be
fixed upon the equalization principle, and urge
compulsory measures for the attendance of
children at our public schools

The Court sat in secret session six mortal
hours yesterday, and after considering many
old and new propositions, agreed to dispose of
Mr.. johnson at noon on Tuesday next, the
four counts of the eleventh article to be taken
up separately, and the Chief-Justice to adopt
such phraseOlgy as may seem to him best in
calling upon Senators to record their votes, re-
spectively. Nothing has occurred to change
the situation in any particular, and everybody
but the Rebel Democracy is hopefully looking
forward to Wednesday next for the inaugura-
ton of Benjamin f. Wade.

lays before its readers it congratuates itself that
the mission it assumed has been q successful one ;
and that though never popular journal, it has held

made against our two or three last Legislatures
for the magnitude of the Tax-Lcyies passed by
them. The fact that they, in several instances
increased the amounts asked by oW SupelYi-
sors and Councils was cited with emphasis.
The fact was, that our Democratic officials,
after having made their budgets as heavy ms
they dared, would run up TO Albany and there
represent that this item had been overlooked,
that one made too small and q thrd-which
was not considered year ag0-nOw needed
because of recent legislation or of certain speci-
fed casualties, TO be augmented; hence, they
were compelled to ask for an increase. This
being obtained, their organs would turn upon
us with the taunt-" What use in sending the
"Tax-Lcvies to Albany for revision They
are only enlarged there"
This year, the People were led to hOpo for
substantial reforms. Tie Ford aud other
organs of our local masters assured the voters
that corruption and pTodigality in legislation
