The telegraph and Congress.

The Senate Committee has had the good sense
to lead off in telegraphic reform. 1t has
recognized at once the irrepressible movement
on the part Of the people to take charge Of the
telegraph as something absolutely vital to the
future development Of the nation. The ball
will roll onward and produce an avalanche
which no ring or combination of rings can
Withstand. II narrow-minded and pre-
determined committee of Representatives fail
to recognize the necessities Of the people
another session of Congress will produce men
who are better advised of the public wants,
and willing, as Representatives, to administef
to them. The telegraphic monopoly will go
down, as well as everything else that stands
in the way of our civilization. We want the
privilege of conversing with each other, and
we intend to have that privilege to the fullest
extent that science and art can extend it. Our
constitution says that 'freedom Of speech" is
one Of the corner stones Of our nationality, and
we are not disposed to trust it to the hands oI
monopoly.

CHOKING UP THE GOVERNMENT WILLIS
The Chicago Tribune complains Of the at
tempt of Hon. Messrs. Moorhead and Kelley
in Congress to apply the stopcock to Special
Commissioner Wells by cutting of his pay, and
''aIlows," as the Western Yankees say, that
Mr.. Wells is rich enough to do all the work
he has undertaken ''free gratis for nothing"
Uncle Sam prefers paying for his knowledge,
and as he has repeatedly smarted for it there
is no reason why Wells should be deprived of
remuneration for the very valuable informa-
ton he has collated and had published at pub
lie expense. If Mr.. Wells does not choose to
accept pay let him donate the amount he is
justly entitled to toward the completion of the
Washington monument, or toward the re-
covery Of Wirz's lost head and bloody hand.

justice and forget our rights Recently by
lavish course of wining and dining she got
Dandy Johnson to sign foolish treaty, mixing
up all Arts of affairs with our war policy
claims, witch the Senate very wisely rejected
at sight. This matter now calls for early
attention o. the part of General Grant
There is butpne honorable and safe course for
him to pursu, Let him order the Alabama
claims to be nAde up without reference to any
adventitious mtter, and send them to England
by special commission TO present, with de-
mand for immediate payment. We want no
argument about he matter. If she declines
to pay let the legtion in London be closed,
our Minister and commission come home, and.
closing all diplomatic intercourse with her
Minister here, wait tie issue Of events. Tine
will not roll on long before our opportunity
will come.
With Spain there is the same account to
settle She was as hottie to us while we
were in the stress of o,r civil war as were
France and England, and lid not do as much
as they only because The had not the
power. But what she did do was too
much for friend to do and sufficient for an
enemy to be called to account for. Full proofs
Of this exist in the State Department in the
voluminous correspondence and complaints of
Consul General Shufeldt from Havana, and in
the Navy Department in the reports Of our
naval commanders in the Gulf. This account
must be squared General Grants best course
to do this is to recognize the belligerent rights
of the Cubans, now in open war with Spain, as
promptly as did Spain recognize the belligerent
rights of the Confederates on being asked to
do so, and extend to them the same facilities
for the purchase of arms as did the Captain
General of Cuba to the blockade runners. As
soon as the Cubans evince their ability to
maintain their cause and establish govern
ment de facto let their independence be recog-
nized and their representatives admitted to
the diplomatic honors of Washington Should
Spain make our action in this matter cGsus
6elli General Grant need only send Sherman
and a few Of his marching men, or Sheridan
with MS rough riders, to the Gem Of the
Antilles and take full guarantee for its good
behavior towards us in the future. This
legacy in our foreign policy is left to General
Grant, and the whole country will be best
satisfied to have it disposed of in the manner
we have here suggested.
The New York herald., 1869-03-02
Our prliitia Orsauixatlons.

We have In all the States Of the Union. ana
especially in New York and our metropolis,
motley crowd Of uniformed men called militia.
AS general thing they are perfect bur
lesque upon what they purport to be-. Ten
thousand of them gathered in body would
make first class menagerie-clad in every
variety of uniforms, armed with muskets and
rifles of every known calibre, drilled in all
kinds of tactics and perfect in none, entirely
valueless for war purposes, and the officers In
great part untitled for their positions and un-
able to fll them with anything like credit.
There is large element in this militia body OF
those soldiers who fought with credit in the
rebellion. We regret to see this, for they are
losing by unfortunate contact much OF that
efficiency which they possessed while forming
part of thorough military organization.
Many of our militia regiments and companies
are merged into political circles or petty clubs
where the lower order of politicians seek pre-
ferment in Office.
Before our war these militia battalions were
in all the glory of their defects, and when the
strife broke out they gave us a specimen of
their military value at Bull Run and most OF
the contests during the first year of the war;
They appeared on the field a motley group !;
before the war closed their uniforms had disap-
peared, and by long discipline many Of their
defects had been eradicated. We think it may
be maintained that our militia system was, as
it then existed, rather misfortune to us than
benefit, for there was nothing in the organi-
zation but faults; and to eradicate these re-
quired more hard drilling and discipline than
it did to make good soldier out of raw mate
rial. The system is now relapsing into its old
evil rut, and will soon be as it was in 1860.
The State, the community and the men them
selves are simply paying cash and giving time
to be untitled for military science.
We want National Guard in the United
States, organized upon basis which shall be
fixed by the general government and which
shall be adopted by each State. The govern
ment need not interfere with any real Or isp-
cied State right which exists, but simply for
mularize military system like that of England
or France, stating how companies, regiments,
brigades and divisions shall be formed. Let q
general uniform be adopted, at least for an
entire State; prescribed work on the tactics
of the three arms be permanently fixed, and
not change it every time we change our Secre-
tary of War. Let officers be appointed, and
not elected, to command. The system Of elect
ing officers is ruinoas to a military force for
the officer thus named is, in nine cases out Of
ten, selected for being good fellow, bad
disciplinarian and burlesque upon the title
which his shoulder straps indicate. As our
present lack Of system progresses we shall
soon destroy even that fine military element
which the war left to us. Therefore it be-
comes matter Of very great Importance that
we reorganize after the true military manner
we have indicated.
The New York herald., 1869-03-02
Grant and Our Foreign Policy.

The war, the incapacity Of the expiring ad
Congress to the petty interests Of party have
left to General Grant legacy in our foreign
policy which will require his early and serious
attention. While our civil war was raging
France solicited England and Spain to join
her in recognizing the Confederate govern
ment and aiding the Confederate cause. Louis
Napoleons object was to arrange tripartite
treaty for the control of the affairs and destiny
Of the United States, as had been done for in
tervention in Mexico. In fact, the Mexican
policy Of France was an integral part Of the
plan Of procedure against this country. Spain
was willing to 60 in If the Powers of Western
Europe agreed upon the policy, but England
was afraid. She saw that the job was too big
one to be attempted with any prospect Of
success. But France proceeded with the un-
dertaking, bolstering up Macmillan in Mexico
and the Latin race idea all through Spanish
America, and Spain loaned her feeble aid
through the Captain General Of Cuba and
the sly opening of the arsenals OF Havana to
the blockade runners during the war.
With France we have already settled this
matter. For the attempted coalition against
MS we drove the French out Of Mexico and with
them the Maximilian government, which was
probably as good, or, perhaps, the best which
Mexico has ever had. II was part Of the
scheme against the United States, and
this was Its deadly sin. Louis Napo-
leon, finding there was no other course
LEFT for him, came down from his policy like
man, abandoned the fallacious Latin race idea
and all that, and like gentleman placed him
self in the position Of ancient friendship. Our
account with France on this score is settled,
and we are ready for new and friendly busi-
ness with her.
With England the case Is different. We
have long account to settle with her. I'm
like her neighbor, she has been putting of the
evil day and pooh pooling our claims, In the
hope that we should get tired OF asking for

Blade states that sort of chum or crony Of
General Grant when he used to haul wood
from Carondelet ten years ago is now getting
up petition asking for the Office Of Collector
Of Internal Revenue in st. Louis. He is dis
connected with the politicians, and expects to
get the Office on the strength Of old friend
ship. Why shouldn't he have it? Ten
chances to one he is more honest and better
qualified for the place than nine-tenths Of the

The Cuban Revolution and Our Duty.

The information which we receive from
soon to see the Cuban movement supported
by such legislative measures on the part Of
our government as will lead to an early recog-
milton Of Cuban independence. 1t has become
an imperative duty for us to lend our moral aid
to the gallant people Of Cuba who are deter
Spanish rule which has been their curse for
centuries. We have seen them, strong in the
justice of their cause, reject oil of the decep-
tive overtures of Spain to restore them to the
mother yoke; we have seen the war cloud
gather from the little discontented particles
until to-day there stand some twenty thousand
patriots under arms, while forty-five thousand
more are awaiting the arrival Of munitions OF
war to leave of their drill with sticks and face
! their oppressors with cold steel. This is a
tune that thrills the heart of every native OF
this Continent; and we can assure these
patriots that the good cause in which they are
pressing onwards is watched and has the SYM
pathy especially of the United States
Against the patriot army the Spaniards
have now some twelve thousand men in
the campaign and expect some ten thou
sand more. These are undoubtedly destined
to find grave in the country they go to hold
in subjugation; cholera, yellow fever and Gu
ban bayonets will thin their ranks terribly
within the next few months. The volunteer
element, as IL is termed by the Havana au-
thorities, is composed Of those men who have
been growing financially fat on Cuban misery.
This body now fixes to the doors of the pa
triots, ''The time for clemency is ended. ven-
geance" Vengeance for what? Vengeance
for slipping from under the detested and ter
rible yoke that has crushed out every manly
feeling and aspiration for three hundred
yearsp Vengeance for refusing longer to be
slaves2 Out upon such race and such q
blot upon creation as this Spanish spawn that
pollutes the richest and fairest island Of the
New World.
The Cubans are all ready to link their future
with our own, cut aloof from the Old World
and join In the movement Of the West. This
Is their destiny, and they show their good
sense to recognize II at once. General Grant,
true to the great principles which now animate
our people, is not blind TO the work that 10
going on in the Antilles. He will make his
administration at once historic by recognizing
Cuban belligercnt rights, then her indcpend-
encc, aud the consequent drawing closer

City Judge Bedford's Charge TO the Grand
Jury-Our Criminal Judges.

lily JuOSc DeOIOTu>S Ou8E8C ~ s1V ~-ssss@
Jury-Our Criminal judges.
In another column we give the interesting
and pointed charge of Judge Bedford to the
Grand Jury. Ordinarily documents OF this
class scarcely attract the attention OF the mass
of general readers; but in view Of such an
outburst of offences against the order OF society
as has recently given so much cause for alarm
citizens Of all classes are peculiarly eager to
attend to the admonitions of the criminal
authorities. Judge Bedford points to delin-
quencies in the administration of justice where
people are least apt to look for them. He
denies the allegation that the criminal authori-
ties have suddenly become vigilant in the dis
charge Of their duties, but claims that they
were always so, only that the people in quieter
times noted it less. We can fully agree with
him as to the efficiency of so much of the
machinery of justice as we find on the bench
Recorder Hackett, Judge Barnard and Judge
and most necessary service, that is the more
conspicuous just now because in the attitude
assumed by the criminal classes that dis
charge of duty that would be but an ordinary
matter in ordinary times became scarcely less
than judicial heroism. For their excellent
carriage in many recent cases these officers
deserve the gratitude Of all good citizens.
We hope our readers will give due attention
to what Judge Bedford has to say Of the fail
ure in their obligations to society Of the citi-
zens drawn for jury duty. There is no doubt
that in the anxiety to escape that duty Of
men properly fitted for it it falls into the
hands of those eager to sit in the box tina {
they may sell verdict to the criminals
friends; and in this abuse begins the degrada-
tion and corruption Of all justice. Our only
remedy, it is said, is with the Legislature.
People therefore may understand how des-
perate indeed are our chances for justice.
