till 1913, nor much concern himself with
Irish politics till several years later but he
was country clergyman in Ireland during
all the period of the enactment of the whole
penal code, both in Williams reign and in
Anne's; he was himself witness to the fero-
cious execution of those laws, and the bitter
suffering and humiliation of the Catholic
people under them yet, neither then, nor
at any later time, not even when in the full
tide of his fame and popularity as pa
remonstrance or of censure against those
laws. Swift is called an Irish patriot, and
he was so, if Jealous vindication of the
claim of the English colony to rule the
nation, and to be the nation, together with
utter and acrimonious disdain of the great
mass Of the people and total indifference to
their grievous wrongs, can constitute y
patriot. But, in truth, the history of this
extraordinary genius is signal illustration
of the position already stated-that in Ire
land were two nations, and that to be
patriot for the one was to be mortal
enemy to the other.
The period of Dean Swift's leadership in
Irish (coloniaD politics had not yet ar
rived; and all his writings upon Irish af-
fairs are dated after his appointment to the
deanery. But it may be stated, once for
all, that this Irish patriot" never once,
in his vOluminOus works and correspond
ence, called himself an Irishman, but always,
an Englishman that he sought preferment
only IN England, where he wished to live
with the " wits " at Buttons coffee house
that when named to the Dublin deanery,
he quilted London with heavy heart, to
come over to his "exile in Ireland" over
which he mourned in his letters as pathet-
ically as Ovid, exiled to Toni; that he
never, in all the numerous publications he
issued on Irish affairs, gave one word or
hint betraying the least consciousness or
suspicion Of any injustice being done to the
Catholics; and, lastly, that, far from feeling
any community of race, OF of interest with
the Irish, we find him thus expressing him.
self in letter to his friend, Mr.. Pope, in
1887: "S Some of those who highly esteem
you are grieved to find you make no dis
tinction between the English gentry of this
kingdom and the savage old Irish (who are
only the vulgar, and some gentlemen who
live in the Irish parts of the kingdom,) but
the English colonies, who are three parts in
four, are much more civilized than many
counties in England" etc. Much will have
to be said concerning Swift and his labors,
a few years later, in the narrative. For the
present, it is enough to point out that his
furious denunciation of Lord Wharton and
his administration in Ireland was by no
means on account of that nobleman's urging
on the bill for crushing Papists.

The British emigrant- steamship Moravian,
which left Londonderry, Ireland, on the 9Th
inst, passed Father Point yesterday evening
on her voyage to Quebec. The Moravian had
on board, in addition to her civilian passengers,
one thousand and ninety British soldiers, the
first detachment of the troops ordered to re-
inforce the Queens army in Canada. This
large body of men was evidently embarked in
a hurry. The detachments must have marched
from different points to the most nOrtherly out
let of the coast of Ireland, and in order to get
on board the Moravian have gone off from
Londonderry to Greencastle in steam tugs.
Then, again, it is quite contrary to the spirit Of
the British emigration laws to domicile soldiers
with free emigrants and to overcrowd vessel,
both of which breaches have been accomplished
in this instance by authority.
This savors of necessity so we presume
there exists necessity for the rapid augmenta-
ton of the English transatlantic army, and
that the immediate cause of the movement is
to be found in the peculiarly Irish strategy of
General O'Neil in organizing grand and con-
tinuous line of Fenian picnics along the border,
all the dancing, singing and ''shillelah' drill
being on the American side.

By telegram dated in Berlin yesterday and
forwarded through the Atlantic cable, we learn
that the Count Won Bismarck has retired tenn
porarily from his position in the Prussian Cab
met and his seat in the North German Parlia-
ment and gone to his estate in Pomerania to
seek recruitment of his health in the enjoy
ment Of country air and relaxation of the
exhaustive mental tension which he has en-
dured since period anterior to the war with
Austria. Count Bismarck will remain in con-
valescent absence from political turmoil during
four months-a term Of great Importance in the
history of progressive nation as well as in
the present aspect of European politics.
The Premier of Prussia is a very prudent
man and an exceedingly cautious statesman.
His health has been, no doubt, enervated by
Cabinet cares and official excitement, aided
most likely to very great degree by the sturdy
democratic opposition which he has lately ex-
perienced both in the Prussian Chambers and
the confederated Legislature. The German
democrats urge frank, friendly and universal
reunion of Fatherland, but this does not suit
Bismsrcks present policy. His absolute re-
tirement from Office for a season may therefore
be grand stroke of craftsmanship. A political
league which has no one exactly to eight demor-
alizes for the most part, early. The late Leopold
of Belgium told the revolutionists in Brussels in
1S4s not to take trouble, for if he did not suit
the people he would retire. He was retained.
The opportune retirement of Prince John of
Austria from the Vienna Cabinet saved the
empire from revolution the same year. Count
Bismarck takes lessons from history, and in
this respect is superior to Mr.. Disrael

The report presented by Mr.. Ferry, of Mchi-
gan, from the House Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads, to the House of Repre-
sentatives on yesterday in relation to the erec-
ton of the new Post Office and United States
Court building in this city, is an interesting
and instructive document Commencing with
a review of the postal business in this metro
polls, it shows conclusively that the existing
Post Office is not only totally inadequate to the
wants of the country, as regards size
and convenience, but that it is highly
detrimental to the health of the employees.
Continuing, the report recapitulates the
extent and magnitude of the business trans
acted during the past year as compared with
that of former years, proving that the increase
has been so heavy and the prospects for
continued increase 80 favorable that another
building, suitable for future as well as present
necessities, is imperatively demanded. Mr..
Ferry takes broad and statesmanlike view Of
the wonderful progress and future grandeur of
this metropolis, and urges the erection Of
an edifce which, in point of architecture and
completeness, will do honor to the republic and
to her greatest city. And in this respect we
heartily agree with the sentiments Oft the honora-
BILE gentleman. New York is destined to become
the focus Of the worlds business, and in view
of her future greatness and magnfcence it is
necessary that all of her public edifces shall
be erected on scale commensurate with her
Importance. Mr.. Ferry refers in most aattering
terms to the pride felt by the people of the
entire country in this city, and in their name
advises the appropriation of sum sufficient to
erect the building according to the plans &C
cepted. The report was recommtted to the
committee, with instructions to report com
plete which we trust will be before long

The Internal Tax Bill Before Congress.


The long nursed and tenderly reared bant-
ling of Mr.. Schenck and the Committee of
Ways and Means-the Internal Tax bill-was
numerically knocked on the head on Monday.
1t received heavy blows all round, both from
democrats and republicans; but the new leader
in the House (Ben Butler) cudgeled it most
savagely and killed it outright. Poor Schenck
groaned and moancd in low tones, and finally,
when he saw his offspring slaughtered,
threatened to appeal to the public press.
the press was remarkable in Mr. Schenck, who
has persistently defed public opinion, and
was the most sensible idea he ever gave ex-
preston to; but unfortunately for him his
threatened appeal was in bad cause and
against that public sentiment which the press
reflects.
The Tax bill being dead, for this session at
least, the Committee of Ways and Means have
been instructed to prepare and report with
ont delay separate bill for the revision of
taxes or on the manufacture and sale of dis
titled spirits and tobacco
Ii is understood from the general tenor of
the debate that bill will be reported, or at
least that the House will pass bill reducing
the tax on spirits. There seems to be dis
position to reduce the whiskey tax a hundred
per cent or more. Many members would
make it az low as seventy-6ve or
fifty cents a gallon. or course the argu
ment made is that two dollars a gallon cannot
he collected and that greatly reduced tax
can, and consequently that the revenue would
be increased. We regard this as great
triumph for the whiskey ring and successful
defiance of the government. II declares, in
fact, that we have no government, that the
laws cannot be executed, and that the country
is utterly demoralized. What humiliating
state of things radical legislation and rule has
brought us to 4! Spirits and tobacco-both nox-
ious, injurious-and pure luxuries are the very
things that should be heavily taxed. II is
from such that the greatest part of the revenue
of q country should be raised. And the tax
could be collected If the power were left where
il belongs-in the President he were made
responsible for the faithful execution of the
laws. But as his power has been abrogated
and the government has become SO demoral-
lied that two dollars gallon cannot be col
lected let one dollar gallon be tried. 1t ought
not to be less, and IL that cannot be collected
tax can. The whiskey ring and defrauders,
however will steal at this rate or at any rate,
if there should not be more honest officials
and direct responsibility left with tho Presi-
dent As to the whskey ring talking Of the
tax realizing at once forty millions to the reve-
nue.. that is lobby dodge and said for effect

The Omnibus Reconstruction Bill-What will
the President Doe

Vne OmniDus HocOnStruct1On Bil-What Will
the President Doe
There probably never was more ridiculous
bill drawn than that by which Congress pro-
poses to restore certain of the unrepresented
States, and which is called the Omnibus bill.
This bill imposes certain conditions upon COM
pliance with which the States shall be admitted
to the exercise Of their rights in the Union.
The first cOndition-the great preliminary re-
quirement that goes before all and stands
above all-is that they shall adopt the four
teenth amendment to the constitution. Only
after the adoption of that amendment, indeed,
do any of the other conditions apply for only
then can State avail itself of the opportunity
given by this law. That amendment leaves
the regulation of suffrage to the States ac-
cepts completely the old and irrefragable prin-
ciple that the States only have authority to
declare who shall be voters and 1t fixes it,
recognition of this authority in the States BY
imposing penalty upon those that shall regu
late the suffrage in way not agreeable to the
party in power This is the preliminary to all
conditions, and on the very heels Of this comes
dition requiring States not to avail themselves
of the power they have under that first and
paramount condition; condition that they
shall suffer to lie dormant that great point in
their sovereignty, the right to ordain who shalt
be voters In one line they are made States,
and of course thereby clothed with the
rights of States, and in the next line they
are told that if they exercise these
rights the law that has made them
States is null Did party ever 80 cOnspicu-
ously and dagrantly stultity itself? BY the
very terms Of one condition it shows the limit
of Congressional control over States admits
and declares that it has not the right TO dictate
certain things, and in another condition it die
tates those very things for which it had de-
cared its powers insufficient. This bill has
passed both houses of Congress and now only
awaits the signature of the President to become
law. Il is ridiculous bill, and there can be no
objection to a message criticsing it as savagelJ
as the President pleases; but we believe his
signature to the bill should go with that mes,
sage. 1t admits five States. That is the fact
before all others. 1t admits them on the terms
of the fourteenth amendment, which gives
them the control Of the suffrage and any con-
ditions inconsistent with that are null. II
admits them to be States, and that very fact
makes conditions that are inconsistent with
the existence of States worthless. All the
good part of the bill, therefore, is valid and
the rest is not, and Mr.. johnson, by at once
making the bill n law should give the country
the benefit of the blunders the radicals have
made in their effort to carry out their pro
scriptive policy.

Anarchy I'm Mexico.

The telegraphic news from Mexico published
in this mornings HERALD shows that the peo-
pie of that miscalled republic are determined
to continue the career of anarchy and blood
shed which has distinguished them almost ever
since they gained their independence from
Spain. On the present occasion the lawless-
ness seems to have obtained full headway at
the capital. where Cabinet crisis has taken
place. The press and the people are clamor-
ous for complete change Of Ministers.
Lerdo de Tejada had been appointed to the
Chief Justiceship, and his anxiety to hold
Cabinet brought on crisis which resulted in
the resignation of the Minister of Justice and
an almost complete reconstruction of the gov
ernment The excitement was so great at the
capital that several arrests had to be made,
and the feeling of opposition to President
Juarez was such that it was given out he con-
tenplated making a trip to Oaxaca. In his
absence the Presidential duties are to devolve
on Chief Justice de Tejada, who is sr oficio
Vice President There is no doubt that the
this commotion. Ortegas term of office as
Chief Justice expired May 81, 1868; hence no
selection for the seat was made at the cleo
tions consequent on the Convocatoria of
last August. He is still in prison at Monterey,
thanks to the power of the very man who now
succeeds him on the bench and as Vice Presi-
dent, and who was mainly instrumental in
doing away with the last contestant for supreme
power in Mexico-Maximilian.
The murder Of that unfortunate prince in
spite Of the entreaties of our government to
spare his life, was but one Of the constantly
recurring bad examples to the masses given by
officials in Mexico, and we are forced to con-
clude that nothing better is to be expected in
the future. In this instance we find the very
generals who fought against the empire to
throw him. Where the thirst for blood,
in spite of law, reason and the entreaties of
the very republic that secures the existence
Of Mexico, is so shamefully manifested In
high position as was done in the murder of
Macmillan, what can be expected of the
mbbocbI ~ Will ue hotuiuB tne
measure dealt out to that prince be meted out
to his murderers. The recklessness of Mexi-
cans in dsregarding the example and good
Offices Of our great republic leaves no room
to hope that republic can be established in
Mexico. But that nation should be taught
that the bad example she is giving to the
smaller republics on this Continent must cease,
or she will lose our friendship, and probably
lose her own autonomy.
WHAT UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE Now MEANS
Now that negro slavery has been abolished,
and, at frightful expense of lives and national
wealth, the privilege Of voting has been pur-
chased for the emancipated negro, what can
universal suffrage mean but the extension OF
this privilege to the white men of the South
and to white women all over the Unionl Uni
versal suffrage is now anonymous with uni
ver3sl amnesty.
