From The N. Y. Tribune.

The N. Y. Times wants foreign coal admit
ted to our market free of duty; and We are
inclined to concur in the suggestion. Except
for revenue, we can perceive no reason for
taxing an article so bulky in proportion to its
value as coal is, especially after its production
from our own mines has been so fully devel-
oped as with us. Now, as we have done on
former occasions, We urge Congress, in revis-
ing the tariff, to make coal free OF duty, and
thus silence clamOr which has the slightest
possible foundation. We believe coal is usu-
ally cheaper in this city and throughout our
country than alRlOst any other article in gen.
eral use; and we doubt that 1t would be gem
orally cheapened by taking off the duties. 1t
bothers us TO say how the Government is to be
supported and the national credit maintained
after the World has been gratiied with ga
free breakfast table," and the Times with free
fuel to cook the breakfast; but do let US stop
this noise about taxing the fuel of the poorl
Yet, if we are to cooperate with the Times
in its crusade, we must ask it TO acquire some
knowledge of the matter in controversy, and
discuss 1t With some respect to the essential
facts. We couldn't get on well with an ally
who talks as recklessly as the following:
"The duties on bltumInous Goals must be
laid, not Tor revenue, for they are almost pro-
hibitory, but merely to protect half a dozen
large capitalists in Pennsylvania, and a few
hundred workmen, at the expense OF our whole
Eeaboard.

Gen. Grant and the Tenure.Of. 0lIlce Law.

Gen. Grant and the Tenure.Of. 0GIiCe LaWs
From The ~. y. World.
The plan reported in our Washington des-
patches on Tuesday for keeping the letters of
the Tenure Of Office act riveted upon the new
President, shows that the spirit of distrust,
intrigue, and selfish greed Of spOils is stronger
than the simulated respect for General Grant.
The cormOrants that have so long battensd on
the national revenues are not disposed TO re-
linqush their food. Having kept themselves
in place by binding one President, they do
not mean, if they can help it, to release his
successor.
On one of the first days of the session
General Butler surprised the country by in
PRODUCING bill for repeating the Tenure-Of-
Office law but he pressed it with no zeal;
nobody else has taken it up; and there seems
a tacit understanding that no action shall be
taken ON it until just before the adjournment.
To those who understand General Butler's
character, his motives are transparent. He
wants Cabinet office, and his bill was his
method of notifying the new President that
he is willing to bury his former aggressive
enmity if General Grant will make him one
of his confidential counsellors. The passage
of the bill was not necessary for conveying
General Buffers notification, its proposal
suficing for that purpose. It's author wishes
to keep himself in position to treat President
Grant as he has treated President Johnson.
When Mr.. Johnson succeeded to the Presi-
deney after the assassination of Mr.. Lincoln,
General Butler went to him with professions
of friendship and confidence, and asked to be
appointed Secretary of the Treasury. This
application was sighted. Butler soon after
became the rancOrous enemy of the President
and has never failed to assail him with every
weapon he could lay his hands on. The
attitude of Butler towards President Grant
will be determined by similar considerations.
He has publicly offered to bury the hatchet,
but with an implied understanding that the
pipe OF peace shall be lighted with Cabinet
commission. Butler will take no further
steps until he shall have satisfied himself
whether his wishes are likely to be aoceded to.
II Butler stood alone in such aspirations
this maneuvre of his would be of little conse-
auence. But the motives that actuate him
are shared by most of the controlling men of
the Republican party. Leading members Ofthe
two houses do not all want appointments fer
themselves, but they want them for friends,
for dependents, for tools, for men who can
make money by defrauding the revenue and
will give them a slice of the profits. Most Of
the leading Republican Congressman are
regular brokers Of offices, this trade being a

General Grant and His Cabinet.

The newspapers, as a matter of course, con-
tinue the construction, and reconstruction, Of
General Grants Cabinet, with unabated conf
dence and zeal. But the public faith in their
work is less absolute than of old, and some
OF journalism.
Nobody now, 80 far as we are aware, pays
any attention to the talk Of ths newspapers

A Colored Delegate Visits Grant-Ee is In
vited to Talk Horse aud Declines.
WASHINGTON. Dec

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a, 1867.
Gen. Grant had novel sort of an appli-
cant for admittance to his presence this
morning. About half past ten o'clock res
pectable looking sable citizen made his ap-
pearance and asked to have an interview
with the general of the armies. He was
told that he must send in his name, where
upon the colored citizen sat down and indi-
ted letter to Gen. Grant, in which he ex-
planned that he was representative of his
African brethren of the south, and came On
their part to discover Grants views on the
topics of the day, and more especially re-
garding the rights of the negro The letter
was taken to Gen. Grant who sent back as
answer that he was military officer, and
did not desire any conversation on political
topics. The colored delegate, refused to be
snubbed in this way, and entered into an
argument with Gen. Dent on the subject
he told Dent he wanted merely to take
back with him some comforting assurance
that Grant was the friend of the negroes, and
that he deserved their support. Dent in
formed him that, when Senator Wade called
on Grant, the conversation was devoted
mainly to horses and not politics. The col
ored citizen said he did not want to 'talk
horse'-that he took no interest in that sub.
ject, but in others of more use to humanity,
and great political rights. Dent, however,
was almost as reticent on these matters as
Grant himself, and so the African delegate,
after repeated efforts at pumping, retired
disappointed.

SCHooI. HOUSE BURNED.-We learn that
a school house situated in Duncan township,
about three miles north west of Millersburg,
was totally destroyed by FIRE week or more
since. The fire occurred about nine o'clock
in the evening, and is supposed to have orig
mated in some manner, from the fire in the

long before another house will be erected to
take the place of the one just destroyed.
