Secretary Boutwell, and His F:na ucial
Policy.

Secretary Boutwell, and His F:na ucial
Policy.
President Grant in his choice of a Secretary
of tbs Treasury selected man who was pre-
viOusly identified with one of the factions of
the two great political parties, and who on
that account was regarded with considerable
jealousy by those Of the mercantile world
who differed In opinion from him. Mr.. Bout
well has, however, made very good record.
Like Grant in his early campaigns, he ''pegged
away" at the gold ana stock gamblers and got
great deal of experience. Ho is gradually
doing better, and will be able to manage his
department with increasing satisfaction. He
seems devoid of the absurd crotchets and
theories of finance which made Mr. McCulloch
so sad a failure. He has cut loose from his
original party ideas and is endeavoring to
administer the finances from the broad plat
form of common sense. He has made mis-
take here and there, such as accommodating
heavy currency balance in the Treasury, to the
distress Of the money market. But as the
merchants are not very active borrowers at
this season the injury falls upon the ''bulls"
and ''bears" more than upon Legitimate bust
ness circles. His success is witnessed in the
reduction of the national debt and we'll
ordered plan ofthe finances. The position of the
Secretary of the Treasury at this period of our
history requires the exercise of patriotic and
honest desire to pay the nations debts.
While Mr.. Boutwell, seems anxious to do this
he should .'make haste slowly" for already he
has occasioned so rapid fall in gold that
values are unsettled. He should remember
that the road to specie payment ought not to
be strewn with the wrecks and bankruptcies
which sudden resumption would certainly
occasion.

SPAIN SATISFIED. Captain General Of
Cuba Is out in another proclamation, in which
he asserts that the insurrection Is ''reduced ia
extent, that the war is carried on merely by
guerillas. that offenders will be tried by courts
martial and before the civil tribunals accord
ing to tho crimes charged, and that the
accused may rely on receiving Impartial
justice" The impartial justice part sounds az
grim official pleasantly. II is like the
placing of gag in the mouth of prisoner
and then saying, "You will be heard. sir, in
your defence" However, IL the Captain
General is satisfied so are We The procla-
nation reads very much like executive bun

CRY NuIsANcEs.-We published yesterday
the sickening details Of the evidence before the
Board of Health 10 respect to the many nui-
sances collected in the bone boiling and fat
rendering establishments on the North river,
between Thirty eighth and Forty sixth streets.
We also exposed the condition of one of the
worst pest holes in the city at the northwest cor
ner of Broadway and Sixty-eighth street, and adj
verted to others which we had already pointed
out on the east side Of the island, particularly
Seventy-fourih, Ninety-fourtb and lI5th
streets. With these pest holes in our midst
and numerous cases Of yellow fever on board
Of ships lying in our harbor we must again
call upon the Board Of Health to make i'm =
mediate and thorough efforts to prevent the
spread of malignant disease in New York CITY
during the heats Of summer, At the same
time we heartily commend the increasing dis
position which the Board Of Health has lately
evinced to do its duty 10 the premises.

TIE METROPOLITAN PoLIoE.-The strenuous
efforts of the Commissioners to bring the
police force up to higher point Of efficiency
aud discipline have not been unsuccessful
during the past few months, and on Friday
last a decided and commendable step was
taken in this direction by complete reorgani-
cation of the precincts. Nearly all the
captains were changed to new fields Of labor,
where they will have opportunities Of ''begin-
ming anew and profting by past errors"
These changes went into effect on Tuesday
morning, and we published yesterday roster
of the force as as present constituted. In a
few days the Commissioners will continue the
good work which they have begun by trans
ferring largo number of acrpeanta. if they
will, moreover, eliminate oil tho unworthy

THE NEWSPAPER CASH SysTEM.-The Wis
c0nsn editors have been holding conven
ton at which the proposition was preached
for establishing general newspaper system
out there of cash payments. Why not every
where? II is the only proper way. Most of
our country newspapers live half starved on the
credit system when they might get fat and
saucy on the cash system. Our war CORES
pondence, for instance, during the late rebel
lion cost us over half million in cash. We
could .afford ii with our cash system; but
where would we have been under the old
stupid credit SYSTEM Nowhere. OF all
things in the world newspapers call for the
cash system, and il is always the best for
buyer and seller. ''Mr. Speaker" once said
John Randolph, 81 have found the philoso-
piers stone. II is pay as you 90, sir, and be

pies, applied to the new order of things, are
mere stuf and nonsense. The difference be-
tween Stockton's democratic principles and
the substantial doctrines of the Virginia con-
servatives is the difference between the chat
and the wheat. He has tn shadow and they
the substance of life and strength in their pos
session.
Now, the lesson to DO drawn from this Vir-
ginia election Is, first, that by pursuing SINH
lar course to that of the sensible Virginia con-
servatives the responsible whites of every
Southern State, from Virginia to Texas, may
secure possession of the State, and in doing it
secure the negro balance Of power for future
operations. Thus, within the short space Of
single year, we may have an end in the
South Of Northern radical carpet-baggers,
operating for Southern negro supremacy.
Secondly, the democracy of Virginia, ex-
rebels mostly, if you please, lamenting the
'1ost cause" have made an example, in the
way Of forward movement, which would, il
adopted in tho North, be rewarded with SINH
lar results. They have abandoned their old
party notions and have fought and beaten the
radicals with their own weapons. They have
recognized several fixed facts, and they have
accepted the negro as welcome ally and
turned him to q good account. In word, the
conservatives Of Virginia have developed a
new party organization, which, if followed up
by the anti-radical elements throughout the
Union, may soon give us the dominant national
party of the future,

BAD FOR PRESIDENT.-Grant took his
daughter Nellie to witness the lascivlous can
can danced in New York theatre the night
before the day appointed for the funeral of the
late Henry j. Raymond, of the New York
Times, and the papers say the President par
ticularly marked his appreciation and enjoy
ment of the can-can, which seemed to be given
with more than ordinary display, zest and Wig
or. The next morning he left for Washington,
and the Tribune of the day following said of
his hurried departure this:
It is regretted that one, who owed him Mr..
Raymond much, whom he had So Loyalty sup
ported in the field, and in politics, when such
support was very valuable, and whom his pa.
per had largely enabled to succeed, should
have been so pressed upon with burrying pub
lie affairs that he could not stay little longer
in the city. 1t would have been fitting that
President Grant should be one of Mr.. Ray
mond's mOurners.
