SORTING OUT THE BLACK SHEEP.

A "prOminent Republican of this City, who
does not choose TO become still more prOmi-
nent by letting his name be known, has writ
ten to The Rochester Democrat an elaborate
vindcatiOn of those Republican members Of
our last Legislature who were somehow in
duced to vote with nearly all the Democrats
for the enormous Tax-LevIes moved by Mr.. A.
B. Hodges in the Assembly. His sophistries have
made no impression on the Editor, who thus
comments:
"tn publishing this letter. desire 10 be understood as
dissenting from many Of tho positions assumed by
correspondent We most emphatcally concur with THE
TRIBUNE in thinking that the twenty-five Republicans
who voted for the Hodges bill should be modest enough
and discreet enough not to urge the party renOmnae
them. They should be content oih the reUdrds they doubt
less received for their poteS at tie time they given and
should ask nothing II any Of them unfor-
tnate not TO get their proper rewards innocent
as not TO look for any the time they had better VIC
think remain 10 obscuriy and not trouble their cOnstt
uents any further Their verdancy makes it clearly
unsafe TO send them TO such corrupt place Albany
"But voting for the report Of the Conference Commit
tee, and voting for the Hodges BILL clearly very diff
ferent acts We do not understand THE TRIBUNE any
body else TO complain OF those who voted for the report
OF the Committee unless they had also voted for the
Hodges bill. That bill rascally abomination and
hardly assent TO the plea that 1t was merely
piece Of strategy on the part OF certain innocent
beers OF the House TO force the Senate Conference
Committee II the Senate had contained one more Mat
toOn the Hodges bill would certainly have passed. and
the infamous swiudes comprised In 1t would have been
saddled upon the taxpayers Of the metropolis Those
who voted for II in the Assembly took that rsk with
their eyes open and II IL had passed. could not have ex
cused themselves the plea that IL parlla
mentary There is In fact no excuse for their
conduct the less that s said about 1t for
them. Verify, they have their reward and with that
they should be content The State and their constituents
can we'll dispense hereafter with their services"
THE TRIBUNE asks to be understood as
differing with those members Of our late
Legislature who voted for the Tax-Levies
ultimately adopted on the split-the- difference
principle; yet we believe that many of them
did so honestly believing that it was better to
submit to some wrong than to leave the City
without TaxLevies for the current year. We
should have taken the risk as, in Gov. Fen
toms place, we should have vetoed the Tax
Levies of last year, and let consequences take
care of themselves. But where so good and
true men as William w. Campbell go counter
to our convictions, we are tempted to distrust
our own judgment-nOt to surrender it. Good
men did vote for the compromise Levies ulti-
mately passed; but they execrated those
whose treachery and corruption rendered any
necessary-and so do we.

suls The regions where protection is most
needed are precisely those where consular or
commercial agents, and not Ministers Extra
"ordinary," or otherwise, are most readily ac-
cessible. The character of our nation is hap
nilv now so well known and hOnOred through
out the world that the duty OF protecting our
commercial and other travellers has become
comparatively easy task.
1t may be said in reply that our country de-
rived much benefit from some of its representa-
tives in Europe during our late domestic dt-
fculties. True enough, to be sure; but 1t may
be reioined that the necessity for their peculiar
labOrs during that crisis was occaslOned largely
nv the foul manner in which our diplomatic
service had been prostituted in previous years
for advancing the cause of treason. The poison
disseminated by Secessionists in the garb Of
American ambassadors gave Rebellion prestige
abroad by diffusing false theories and state
ments concerning our institutions and condition.
The results of the war have happily rendered
impossibe a repetition of such rascalities, and
averted the necessity of similar agencies tOr
counteractng them.
And TO those who may inquire what would
"Mrs. Grundy say about our abolishing dlplo-
matte agencies while other countries retain the
antiauated paraphernalia, it may be quietly
limited that this nation is not to be governed
in this matter by European example, any more
than in reference to regal forms, standing
armies, Church and State systems, arlstocratic
land monopolies, and other practices that' 10
American minds generally, are "more hOnored
ain the breach than in the observance"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1869-08-09

A great government cannot afford TO do
small things; yet that does not prevent its
doing them sometimes. The telegraph informs
us that the British Ministry have refused to
let Mr.. James Haggerty act as Consul of the
United States for Glasgow, (his native city,.
Mr.. Haggerty is a young man of spotess
reputation and ample capacity, and the only
charge against him is that he was a Fenian-
the fact being that he made speeches, some
years since, at two or three Fenian meetings
in this vicinity. We presume Glasgow has
made up her mind to do without U. S. Con-
sui for year or two.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1869-08-09

The French Senate have approved the first
article of the Imperial draft of reforms, which
we take to be the joint right of the Emperor
and his Legislature to initiate laws. Of course
they will agree to the entire programme II
His Majesty so desires, and we may there
fore look upon the numerous COM
mittee lately appointed to prepare the
reforms for deliberatiOn as a well-devised
body of pall-bearers at the Obsequies of per-
sonal government. We are suppOsing that the
late brief speech of the Emperor in which he
declared personal government to be at an end
has reached us correctly, In that case, Napo-
leon and NJ. Theirs are marvelOusly of one
mind, though it would be impossible for an
emperor to approve the cOgent force
with which the latter utters his
conviction. Personal power is at
can end" says the veteran states
man, "not only in France. but in all Europe.
" Governments which do not comprehend this
care blind. 1t is only free institutions like
those of England which will satisfy nations,
{" and if they cannot come across the channel
" they will come across the Atlantic" Keener
and better words have not been spoken in
France for many a day.

OUR DIPLOMATIC CORPS.

Steam and lightning have brought the ma
tons into such close acquaintance, and inter-
national relations are now 80 well understood,
that there seems to be little or no excuse for
maintaining permanent embassies at foreign
courts. The intercourse between this and
other Governments can DO better managed by
direct correspondence between the ruling Off
GERS. CircumlocutOry and expensive negotia-
lions through ambassadors may be safely
thrown aside with other trumpery of bygone
ages
We have had about as much bother with
many Of our diplomats as with the countries
to which they were sent The missions are
too commonly considered with reference to the
"spoils" rather than to the public welfare.
With some few honorable exceptions. the
places, in late years, have been scrambled for
with an avidlty that augured poorly for the
Creditable discharge of official duties. A review
of our diplomatic history is fruitful in evidence
of these positions, and memory will not be
severely taxed to.recall abundant illustrations.
The cost of the diplomatic corps is not UNI
worthy of consideration in connection with its
inutity. 1t draws largely on means required
for paying our pressing obligations; yet the
cost is not the greatest objection. The
reasons above mentioned are conclusive.
The thing is not wanted-it is hurtful
rather than bcnehcial and its abroga-
ton is so desirable that the Congressman who
may propose its abolition will DO cordially
sustained by the people generally.
1t is understood, of course, that reference is
here made to the diplomatic corps alone-not
to our consular or commercial agencies. The
latter are, or ought to be-and would be, if
properly fled-suflicient for protecting the in
terests of American citizens in the countries
where they are located. The right men for
such places would certainly be sufficient
as, in case the diplomatic corps IS
additional powers and duties would,
if wanted, be readily conferred on tho con-

The Benefcent Dragon and Agreeable Asso-
Citations have been eating official dinners and
making ceremonious speeches in Chicago, and
though their skins are not of the orthodox
color and their facial angles not the thing ut
all, we do not see but they are adapting them
selves pretty well to our'American ways, and
showing us that the alarm about Chinese I'M
migration has prepOsterously small founda-
ton. These eminent Observation-Disclosures names
in the Celestial language are Sing Man aud
Choy Chew-are making personal examlna-
ton of the principal marts of commerce in tho
Western States which are likely to be linked
most closely to China by the completion OF the
Pacific Railroad and their purpose is to use
the information they thus acquire in extending
their business relations and facilitating inter
course between the two countries. What
change since the days, not very remote, when
the great Asiatic Empire was shut in by wall
of exclusiveness across which no traveller ever
came from the other side, and only an occa-
sional adyenturer or daring missionary pene-
trated from this To see Chicago hobnobbing
with traders who wear pig-tails is hardly less
suggestive than the celebrated procession in
the United States Senate Chamber when
dusky ambassador marched between Arson
Burlingame and James Brooks.

At public dinner in England the other day,
Mr.. Martin Farquhar Upper, of all men in
the world was called upon to speak for En-
glish poetry. Mr.. Upper, as anybody might
suppose, is not bard to hold back on such an
occasion, and he seems to have fairly beamed
with complacency and gushed with decorous
commonplace. In the very handsomest
manner he volunteered to speak Gin
1.-THE name of the noble Tennyson"
and "the deeply philosophical Browning"
both of whom are doubtless delighted
with the compliment and the partnership;
but to another distinguished poet he felt com
PEELED to allude as the clever, he could not
say moral, Swinburne." Mr. Swinburne, We
believe, has lately been at work on book or
something but after that whitening observa,
ton he will, of course, write no more.
