The decision of the Attorney General on the
application of the New York, Newfoundland,
and London Telegraphic Co. to land Cables on
the shores of the United States under the au-
thority granted by the Legislature of a single
State, is simply in accordance with the. position
already taken by Congress. The Attorney
General finds the power of Congress over the
subject in the clause giving to that body the
regulation of commerce. His decision may
be taken as a settlement of the French appli-
cation in dispute last Winter, as well as Of the
one already before him. There can be very
little doubt that it will be sustained both by
Congress and the Courts. Foreign companies
seeking telegraphic connections with our shores
may govern themselves accordingly. 1t is use
less for them to waste money at Albany, or
time at any of the NewEngand capitals
New-York tribune., 1869-06-08

Every great and genuine reform has to en-
counter an opposing mule principle. In the
case of Irish Church establishment the general
donkey encountered by the English Liberals is
in the House of Lords. These latter defend
the system of church barnacles because they
are barnacles themselves. The Tory organs of
London are now denouncing the Church bill
because it is one move more to the dangers of
democracy, and all that can be retorted is that
it is step away from the stupidity of Tory
ism. With its wonted spirit The London Star
replies to the Tories that the House of Lords
is no more logical desirable, or excusable than
the Ilish Church. These are words of omen, and
raise the right issue. The general tone of the
liberal press is in like manner decided.
New-York tribune., 1869-06-08

The National Typographical Union makes a
bad beginning at Albany. Gentlemen associ-
ated together for the protection of labor can
hardly advance the interests of their Associa-
ton by perpetuating the oppression of labor.
They have tabled resolutions forbidding the
application of the test of color in the admis-
sion Of members by vote of Fifty-Six
to Twenty Eight. This unexpected result
is said to be mainly due to the bitter
disposition manifested by the Southern, and q
few of the Western, members. These gentle
men are evidently ignorant of the year they
live in. They imagine it to be 1860, instead of
1869. We hoped for better things from the
Typographical Union; and we are not willing
yet TO believe that the remaining days of their
session may not give us better things.

SINECURE OFFICES.

One of the minor organs of Tammany Hall
has been told by the new occupants of the Tax
Office that ten persons were on the payroll of
that Office while it was in Republican hands
who did not personally work therein for the
salaries they received-some of them serving
the public by proxy, others Gt asserts) not at
all. And it wants to see what THE TRIBUNE
has to say in the premises.
THE TRIBUNE halls with gladness any ex-
posure of official malfeasance, no matter by
whom perpetrated, nor to which party he be-
longs. The TRIBUNE has done its utmost, for
months past, to expose especially and preemi-
nently Republican venality and corruption in
our late Legislature, deeming that of the an
tagonist party too deep-seated and pervadlng
for effective treatment at least at our hands.
We have used ten words in exposure of Repub-
lcan infdelity to principle and duty where
we have uttered one in rebuke of the like mis-
conduct by Democrats. We believe this Is
the Only journal of either party which has
been more persistently severe in rebuking cor
rupton within it's own party than in the Op
posite host. If other political journals would
do likewise, the moral atmosphere OF the Capitol
would soon experience wholesome renovation.
We repeat that we are heartily glad that any
Republicans drawing salaries from the Tax
Office for services they did not render have
been ousted if such there really were. But
what is there in the act reOrganizing the Tax
Office which precluded this abuse or now pre-
vents its renewalq Who does not understand
that there are liberal salaries paid from the
Controllers and every other department of the
City Government to men who never do the
work for which the salaries are drawn9 Who
can fail to see that the estimates and returns
of salaries-so much to the first clerk, so much
to the second clerk, &C., &c.-are shaped ex-
pressly to cover and facilitate this abusef
Does the Tammany organ believe that its new
masters would ever consent to the insertion In
our next Tax-Levies of prOvisO like this:
"Prorded That salary shall he drawn from the City
or the County Treasury except upon the adaV OF te
clerkshp in question; that his name duly appears on
its payroll which IL open TO the public ana that ne mas
by actual attendance and service for the term speced
done the work for which the sum now drawn the legal
compensation
We demand that such proviso be inserted
in our next City and County Tax-Levies and
kept there7 What says the Tammany twlnkler
to the propositions And what consideration
does it suppose induced the Hon. Matthew Z.
Bemus to vote every time to oust his brother
John from the Tax Office

Now we say nothing of British Gold" in
this connection; but we cannot reconcile Mr.
Bryants recent assertion that Mr.. Clay aban-
dOned Protection in 1888 with the pure gold OF
honesty and truth. The fact is, that Mr.. Clay
abandoned Protection exactly as John Bur-
goyne abandoned the British cause when he
surrendered his army at Saratoga-just so, and
not otherwise. There may possibly be block
heads who do not know this; but we see not
how Mr.. Bryant can help knowing it.
AS to the others named by The Democrat,
we have made no charges, and shall make none,
except as to Mr.. d. A. Wells, Revenue Com
missioner. We firmly believe that he is earn
ing-at least, receiying-a great deal more
money than is paid him from the Treasury.
We say this, not because he favOrs what is
called Free Trade-men as honest as live do
that--but because he makes an exceedingly
crooked trail from his premises to his cOnclu-
sions His late Report is surCharged from the
outset with just such venom as the Foreign in
terest would have injected into it had they
known how; yet he winds up by processing to
be Protectionist! Honest men doing honest
work do not make that sort Of spiral track
Such is our reason for believing that Wells is
bought and paid for by the Foreign interest

Whether or not the grain of the Northwest
shall ever regularly reach the seabOard by the
way of the Mississippi River and the Gulf, the
boasts of st. Louis about the movement have
at least produced one good result. We have
already heard of various efforts at Chicago for
reducing the exOrbitant charges on handling
and forwarding grain; and now comes the dis
patch from Buffalo announcing the dissolution
of the union among the elevators there, and n
great reduction of rates. The gentlemen
engaged in the forwarding business may as
well understand that this way, and this way
alone, lies their path of present safety.

At time when the Spanish Government i'll
Cuba owes to employees and troops four months
pay, and when its monthly expenditure is
S75OO,OOO, the Cuban figures which we give
elsewhere are remarkable. Add to these facts
the consideration that the sO.called govern
ment is morally, politically, and, in a military
sense, dissolute, and abandoned to its barbar-
ous volunteers. The question now to be
decided is whether Cuba has a real govern
ment or not; and If so, whether it is the
anarchy set up at Havana, or the republic
established at GuaimarO. On one side are
Cespedes and his cabinet; or the other Gen.
Espinas, the slave-traders, and the volunteers.
Which should be recognized?

Ten Per Cent.

We see by the reports in the pa
pers, that the "ten per centers" failed
to come to time on Thursday last, on
the interest question. Although the
bill had been set as the special order
for 104 o'clock A. NJ. on that day, it
was not called up for consideration !
The "shoddies" and "weak kneed"
copperheads feared to trust the house,
and the bill sleeps on the files. We
trust it will be doomed to do so, till
the offspring of "IscARroT" shall OBJ
tain the ascendency in this country,
and cease to deal in ''old and dilapi-
dated clothing" The anxiety7of our
republican friends to push that bill
through, that the odium of having
done so, might be charged upon the
democratic party, we hope, is about
to be baked. 1t would constitute
much of their caSital in the approach
ing campaign. They would howl lust
lily over the distresses of the poor
man, and the extortion of the sharks,
let loose by the democracy. They
will not be permitted, we think, to
raise their hypocritical voices in that
direction. A watchful constituency,
will hold such men to a strict accoun-
liability. This will make them more
prudent.

A Good Resolution.

Mr.. Hutcheson, of the State Senate
of Ohio, has introduced q resolution
into that body inquiring Of the War.
den of the Ohio Penitentiary if lie has
any prisoners in that institution who
are there serving out terms by virtue
of pretended sentences from military
commissions held in this or other so
called ''loyal" States.
This IN injury which is eminently
fit to be made. The General Assem-
bly, of the people of Ohio can in no
manner spend its time more legitimate
tely than to see if any of their consti-
tuents are unjustly held in durance
vile by the authority of an illgal tri-
bunal.
1t is believed that there are such per-
sons in the Ohio Penitentiary, who
are now wearing its stripes and under
going its suferings. For these per-
sons here should be a prompt and eff
ficient relief. The Supreme Court of
the United States has decided that all
the judgments of military commissions
upon persons not in the military or
naval service, held in the ''loyar'
States, beyond the sphere of actual
military operations, are null and void.
To this decision of the highest legal
tribunal of the land there has not
been given the proper efficiency.
Men have been confined for years in
despite of it. Like some of the prison
ers in the old French Bastile, who
we're there simply by the edicts of ar
bitrary power, without and against
law, they seem to have been forgot
ten, and have had no steps taken for

What To Do When Angry.

az get mad so quickly, and then
am sure to say something that 1 am
sorry for forever afterwards" remark
ed a boy to his father.
"When angry, count three before
speaking" answered the boys father.
The next time the boy fell into a fit
of anger with n of his schoolfellows,
he remembered the advice of his faith
er, and counted three. By this time
he was able to keep back the hard
words that were ready to leap from
his tongue, and SO saved himself the
grief OF shame and repentance.
Try this remedy, quick-tempered
boys AID girls. 1t is best, of course,
not to get angry; but if you do hap
pen to lose your self control, then put
a seal on your lips, and remain silent
until your hot blood is cooled a little.
Every time you do this, you will gain
some power over your temper and at
ter awhile be able to keep it from
breaking out, and doing both your
and others harm

The Tenure of Office Bill.

1t seems to be pretty generally con
ceded that the present Congress will
not repeal the infamous tenure of-of-
fce-law, enacted to deprive President
johnson of the exercise of the Execu.
tive powers conferred on him by the
constitution ofthe United States. This
greatly mortifies the friends of Gener-
al Grant, and is construed into a want
confidence in the incoming administra-
ton. VIXEN this disgraceful and usur-
pative act was under consideration in
Congress, the enemies of President
johnson and the constitution, was'told
they was about to set q precedent that
might return to plague them before
many yeats. They needed not the
council of wise men, and they have
fallen into their own meshes. If that
act isnot repealed, a desperate political

are greatly mistaken if General Grant
does not assert all the powers given
him under the constitution. If so, he
will be sustained by the people. Con-

A New Homestead Law.

The followingis an outline of a new
Homestead Law, introduced by Cur
It's Berry, Jr., of Wyandotte county,
and which passed the Senate:
1st. That it exempt a homestead OF
81, 900 in value, instead of $500 as by
-tLe1fresent law.
I'd. In case the head of a family is
not the owner of a homestead, it in
creases the amount of his personal
property exempted to $500, in addi-
ton to the specific articles of personal
property now exempted.
Sd. In case of sale of real estate, in
Guiding a homestead, which is not
susceptible of division and when the
value exceeds $1,000, the owner il re-
served an annual rent of 500, instead
of $40, as now provided by law.
4th. When a homestead shall be
charged with liens, some of which
preclude the allowance of a homestead
and others do not preclude such al
~lowance, after payment of liens, pre-
Guiding such allowance, the balance,
not exceeding $500, shall be awarded
to the head of the family.
