MR.. JOHNSON AND MR. MOTLEY.


From, the ~ Y. Times
If Minister Johnson's supreme self-oonh-
dence, which is quite sublime in its sufh-
cheney, ever purposes to acknowledge reoeiv-
ing a shock, we should judge that 1t might
now appropriately do so; for it is to be OBJ
served that his rosy optimism has been per-
sonal as well as rational, and quite recently
he told the Manchester people that he "did
not expect to be recalled until the diplomatic
mission on which he had been sent was
settled" But then, in the same speech. he
warned his hearers against the "groundless
reports" that the Senate would reject the
Alabama Claims Conventions; and we believe
he has never undeoeived them, IL they were
deceived-and perhaps not himselt-to this
day.
Rejected, however. the Alabama protocol
has been, and Mr.. Johnson will be recalled
while all remains unsettled; and the comment
| which has been made on the nomlnation OF
| his successor, however complimentary 10 the
latter gentleman, is not entirely so TO the for
mer. II has, in short, been Mr.. Johnson's Ill
fortune to dissatisfy all parties OF his country
men, while but half pleasing the people to
whom he was sent. Probably that BODY OF
| Rpglishmen who are disgusted by what they
call Mr.. Johnson's "servility and syco-
phancy," but which at worst, perhaps, Is only
his ''soft sawder," is not very large; ana pro-
badly, too, their tone Is taken from American
opinion on this side, or from natnraiized
American opinion, as It were, on the other
But, at all events, Mr.. Johnson gets, we re.
peat, but divided homage in England, and
an almost undivided displeasure here.
tits rare, however, that wholesale ana un-
sparing condemnation Of this sort Is wei
founded. We all knew the mistakes Mr.

FEAR IN THE CABINET-THE STUMBLING
BLOCK OF THE ADMINS TRATION.

BLOCK OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
From the NJ Y. Herald.
Secretary Fish is the stumbling block in
the path of President Grants administration.
He sympathizes with the struggling Cubaus
but is opposed to the granting OF belligerent
rights to them. He is willing they should
fight IL single-handed, and Just as willing that
they shall be hung or shot. He is afraid that
England and France will combine with Spain
and whip not only Cuba, but us too, il we
show any sympathy for Cuba. In these
puerile sentiments and inane fears we are glad
to see that he Is alone in the Cabinet and that
the President and every other member is wisely
in favor of vigorous policy In the Cuban
question. Mr.. Fish is no doubt very
worthy old Knickerbocker, but as statesman
he is far behind the times, and his duty to the
President and to the country calls him to re-
sign at once the post he is not ut to fill. The
position he has taken on the first live question
presented to the Cabinet is one which, II
maintained, will disgrace the administration
and place 1t before world In the ridiculous
attitude of making Andy Johnson's admins
tration respectable by comparison, just as
Buchanan made the administration of poor
Pierce respectable. Ex. Secretary Seward,
compared with and measured by Secretary
Fish. becomes perfect fre-eater. II we look
back over the past eight years OF Stewards
administration, we see that he had some com
prehension of the march of the American re-
public, and that he labored to prepare tht
ground for our absorption of the whole archi
pelago OF the West Indies.
To-day the question presents itself to us II
living and urgent form, and Secretary Fisf
Ia afraid. forsooth-is afraid that II may In
voIve us in war with France and England
While we do not share these childish fears
we cannot but perceive that at the presen
junctnre In our domestic affairs war will

AFFAIRS IN ShNnRA.

1 Letters received here fromSoDOrs during inc
 past stHeek draw sOrrowful picture of the treat
 nens received by Americans at the hands of the
 ssmi-6arbarous inhabitants of that portion oi
 Mexico. Tkere are num6ers of these people
 who consider 1t laudsbls achievement to kill
 9T1ngo and from the fact that no sffcrt is
 ever made to bring to justice the murderer of
 an American it is not surprising to find that
 the hybrid inhabitants wlo, generally cOnsid-
 cred bve in the most pfaul ignorance and
 practise little else than CT 1e, continue to arm
 themselves against every sffort to plant among mem the civilization ofths nineteenth century.
 MssSrS. Fuller t TafF, Americans, and prom insnt merchants of Hermosillo, have doubtless been ths subject of conspiracy in that city.
 The former of these gentlemen, Mr. Fuller while travelling in his carriage from San Mar shai to Hermoailio, about the first of last month, was attacked by band of armed Mexicsns, bO' succeeded in m aking good his escape his companion, man named Black, was however less fortunate, for him they murdered. The other member ot the firm, Mr. Taff, while at San Marshal in company with his clerk, about two weeks since, wss set upon by 3 band of assasslns and murdered together with his clerk
 These people inslgated by the innate cruel and barbarous natures of their ancestors-the Spanisrd and the Indian-and unrestrained by the lFon hand of law, see nothing in the con- duct Of our authorities there to deter them Fancy our citizens in Hermosillo asking and receiving redress, for injuries inflicted upon hem by these people, through the British con- Iul, after our American consul has exhauste lis eloqusnce to no purpose; and vet a case of his kind has actually taken place. We have he facts from one present when the British 1 'ensul, flag in hand, demanded and received | 'dmlttsncs to cell in which two Americans were maliciouSly confined, when spreading hls lag upon their shoulders hs ordered the yuard | side, passed Ihs prisoners through and set them t liberty All this within full view of our own ag might we'll bring blush to the cheeks of he men 30 liberated. If our American con. uls can serve no other purpose than to expos he lmbecility ot OUT goveru3lent it were better ) call them home that our citizens iu foreign ountries may know beforehand. instead of be 'g obliged to find out through lhe H est pain, al huruillatiOn. that they have but their owa ct to depend upon in the v.ndicatjon of theil $ hts.
 It is time also thutthrS assassius were given understand that American citizens may not , murdered with inpunity The murders hich We have here recorded when overlooked ' tho government under which they have zen perpetrated seem, at least to demand quiry or investigation by our own govern. q ent, of which the victims were yet citizens.

DECEMBER 1889.
THE U. s. DEPOSITORY. -.@

The people of Arizona have to thank our able
 and energetic Delegate. R c. Mccormick, for
 the greatest benefit which the government has
 ever dsigned to extend to our Territory. This
 IS the Sub Treasury or D. s. Deposi1ory to be
 established here upon the arrival from New
 Ysrk of Chas. H. Lord, Depositary. Viewing
 ths indifference auifesled by the government
 with regard to affairs of such dreadful import
 as the eonsisnt ravages of fInjians etc, we had
 almost dsspaired of ever receiving any sck-
 nOWlsdgment ofeur position as the citizens of
 one of her most important Territories, but the
 exsrtons of our delegate have nervsd us with
 fresh hopes; and Vs now begin to feel that,
 after all, fmattsrI be properly represented, aud
 facts forced upon the unwilling ears the gov.
 ernment our claims will bs heard and ID man
 nsr attended to- The news of the establisb
 Insnt here of an U. s. Depository was some
 what surprising as 8 time when, goaded by the
 injustice of the powers that be, we had made up our minds to depend upon our own resour. css and sxertions for everything built was one of those agreeable surprises such aI the stray traveller may be supposed to experience when hungry and weary hs lays himself down as the approach of night as he 1upposes far from any human habitasiOn, bu: ss darkness gathers dis covers the spark from the cottager window or hears the welcome barking of the watch-dog. Heretofore, contractors and others dealing with government through the medium of the ouar, tsrmasters department were obliged to accept instead of currency, drafts upon the U. s. As sistant Treasurer in San Francisco. This ar- rangement had the effect Of taking a large amount of money out of the Territory every month, or ofkeeping it locked up here which amounts to about tho same thing so far ss the advantages of an abundant currency are con- eerned; as no person here holding a quarter masters draft for any considerable amount would agree to exchange 1t for currency at A discount of CT , per cent, when he might have it eashed at par value in San Francisco |
 Under the coming order, however it will nei- her be necessary to send the money out of the Territory nor 10 bury it in safe in form not adVantageously negotiable Through means ofthe Sub Treasury these monetary evils will i necessarily disappear leaving the state of our S currency as free from complication as it is T It present disagreeablo and psrplexing.
 But is notorious fact that 8 man'sambition t rows in proportion with the success of his b caenes. Hon. R c. Mccormick having oh. W aimed for us the U. S. Depository has now b iscovered another means by which he may b Ossibly benefI the people of Arizona, and is ir oing his utmost to constitute his scheme q m uccess. In this his object is to obtain from the ost- office department the establishment of nrss money order offices in the Territory-s.
