Gone mt Inst.

The old National Intelligencer, after pain
full and lingering illness, in the sixty ninth
year Of its age. 1t was founded with the city
of Washington in the year 1900, under the
auspices Of the Jefersonian republican
party and Jenersons administration, by
Gales and Seaton, and published by them
jointly for over forty years, and by Seaton,
the surviving partner, for some ten or fifteen
years longer. At his death former clerk of
the establishment, Mr.. Coyle, with several
associates, financial and editorial, took the
paper in hand but it had long before fallen
into decline, from which all efforts to resus-
ctate it were useless. In August, 1914, with
the occupation of Washington by the British
army, after the battle of Bladensburg, the
InteNigencer Office was honored with sacking
by detachment of the British troops That
was the making Of the paper From that day
IL began new and prosperous career. It
went on, sailing smoothly with the wind,
through the administrations of Madison and
Monroe but with the breakup of the old re-
publican party in 1924 1t took a new departure
in adhering to the fortunes of Henry Clay.
From this diversion it became the central ma
trenchant party leader on the bank question,
the tariff, internal improvements, &C., fight
ing Jackson and his henchmen and his demo-
cratic successors with marked ability down to
the dissolution of the whig party in 1852.
Then, thrown adrft upon the waves, 1t began
to fail Nay, it began to fail with the estab-
lishment OF the independent newspaper press;
but its mission ended with the whig party.
Through all this period, exceeding half a
century, the Iate,igencer was the re-
cipient of millions Of public money, under
the old system Of party dspensation
of the government printing from both houses
of Congress and the Executive Departments.
The paper had a large subscription list
throughout the United States; but under the
old credit system IL had, as we have been told,
upon its books at one time nearly half mil
lion of unpaid subscriptions for papers served,
and probably not one-ffth of this outstanding
sum was ever collected. The profits OF the
establishment were from the government sops
and subsidies so literally lavished upon II as a
party organ. From these subsidies Gales and
Seaton received mint of money; but in their
free and generous style of living and thought
less wastefulness they contrived to spend it all
as fast as 1t came in, and to be in debt besides
all the time
This was the inheritance of Mr.. Coyle and
Company, but under the benign administration
Of Andy Johnson, with its sops and subsidies,
they still kept the paper aaoat after the old
fashion. From the withdrawal of these sops
and subsidies under the new administration,
the paper has died. II was in It's day, under
! Gales and Sea.on, model Of newspaper dig

tions are-the money question, the Alabama
claims, Cuba and Mexico. Upon the money
question Mr.. Boutwell, is on the right track,
with occasional deviations, no doubt, from the
true line; but still on the right track in his
programme of reducing the debt, the expenses
and the taxes Of the government, while enlarg-
ing his cash resources, and steadily and not
spasmodically gaining ground towards the
specie standard. Spectators, gold and stock
gamblers and financial ktefyers generally
do not like him; but in their complaints we
have the best evidence that he is doing we'll for
the Treasury and the people at large. Thus
far he is about the only member of the Cabinet
who has done or is doing anything to give any
show of life and activity in the administration,
and he may by perseverance aud faith become
the head Of the corner.
On the Alabama claims we must be content
to await the lifting of the curtain; and so with
regard to Cuba, upon which question we expect
the curtain to be lifted month or two hence,
with the official disclosure of the overtures of
our new Minister, General Sckles, to the Span
ish regency of President SerranO Concerning
Mexico, it appears that the arrival there at
headquarters of our new Minister, General
Nelson, had caused considerable futtering
among the natives, from the apprehension that
his mission is to ''gobble them all up" from
the Rio Grande to Yucatau; but here, too,
we must await the developments of his inn
pending negotiations 1t is manifest that upon
all or any of these great questions the present
administration has ''scope and verge enough
for glorious success, and scheming politicians
may be too fast in now pronouncing General
Grant, upon the threshold of the Alabama
claims, Cuba or Mexico, failure.
At all events, the experience of the last
forty years has taught us that the surest way
to kill of. Presidential candidates is to trot
them out before the time. Thus we think
the over Jealous friends of Mr.. Colfax are in
fair way to put him 'down among the dead
men" and that, on the other side, Mr.. Chase
is repeating his old mistake of being too early
in the field. 1t is folly on either side to talk
of Presidential candidates when the policy of
the administration in the interval to 1872 may
so thoroughly demolish the two existing parties
as to bring into the foreground new men and
new measures, with two, three or half dozen
new political parties and factions.

TIE FIRE COMMISSIONERS lament that the
Mayor will not meet them in the Board of Es-
innate and share the responsibility of saddling
the city with the expense of building new
fire alarm telegraph. This just touches the
very point the Mayor makes. He might not
like the telegraph they mean to build-he
might not consider new one necessary. He
could give no effect to his opposition, but he
could take share Of the responsibility and
does not want to. SO he stays away. Cannot
they mandamus him?

Prominent Arrivals in the City.
Presidential CRndidates-The Administers
tion--What is the Prospect

tion-What is the Prospect
1t is rather early in the day to be talking of
Presidential candidates for 1872 and yet various
little pipe-laying republican cliques are in
existence each in the interest Of some leading
and aspiring politician for the next Presi-
dency. The opinion prevails in the republican
camps that General Grant is not to be candi-
date for second term, and the party mana
gers are evidently resolved to rule him off the
course. 1t was not from choice, but from
necessity, that they took him up in 1868. He
saved the party, but he has his reward. The
republican State conventions, as they take
their places and proclaim their doctrines for
the coming fall elections, endorse General
Grants administration, the fifteenth amend
ment, &c, but say nothing of the succession.
Nor have we seen, so far, from any republican
journal even the most shadowy hint Of the
probability Of the adoption Of General Grant
as the party standard bearer for another term.
In all this there would be nothing extraordi-
nary were there no movements afoot looking
to some other champion for the succession.
But very remarkable becomes this universal
silence in reference to General Grant when we
find,. for instance, Mr. Colfax trotted out in one
place and Mr.. Boutwell, in another as the
coming man, and we cannot avoid certain
line of reasoning when we are informed that Mr..
Sumner is riding the Alabama claims question
as Presidential hobby, and that General
Butler is engineering the administration on
the negro question in order, for 1872, to secure
the inside track. In all these movements,
rumors and speculations we are strengthened
in the conclusion that it is an understanding
among the republican managers that General
Grant is to retire at the end Of his present
term We think, too, the opinion prevails
that this understanding is perfectly agreeable
TO General Grant; that, in fact, he has no
further ambition as a public man except a
wish to go quietly through his one term and
then gracefully TO retire, as an inexperienced
dancer walks through quadrie, satisfied il
he has created no confusion, torn no lady q
| train and crushed nobody's toes But as il Is
not The FIRST swallow that brings the spring, SO
it Is not the first quarter Of the first year Of a
new administration that determines its policy
or its destiny.
Under any circumstances these Presidential
movements, upon the question of time, in be-
half Of Coliax, Sumner, Butler or any Other
new man would be unwise and waste o
labor; but ir view Of the great issues upon
which this administration is to stand or fall, Il
is utterly preposterous on the part of this Of
that republican clique to be pipe-laying nov
for 1872. There are three-yea, four-ques
tions, upon all, or upon any three, or any two
or any one Of which General Grant may 81
shape his course as to be perfect master Of thu
succession, as completely so as was Jackson il
1882, OF Lincoln ip l9Gi These four qqes

THE LOTTERY OF INSURANCE. In the days
Of the lotterys glory companies used to pub
lish lists showing the high probability of
mans winning a prize. Nowadays the in
surance companies publish something not un-
like those lists in stating the number Of
policies that have become payable within
year of their issue only these insurance tables
also show the probability that man will die
in the same year in which he insures his life.

lac Emperor Napoleon at Chai0ns-His
speech TO tho Soldiers.

speech 10 tho Soldiers.
On Thursday the Emperor Napoleon visited
the camp at Chalons and addressed the SOL
diers. The day was the anniversary of Solfe-
rino, that great day, ten years ago, when
Napoleon humbled Austria, gave Italy to the
Italians, and proved to the world that the
nephew had inherited some of the genius of
his uncle. The address was such as might
have been expected in the circumstances. Like
all his speeches, it was a little hifalutin:- -
''Preserve the remembrance Of the battles
fought by your fathers and yourselves; for our
victories are the history Of the progress OF
civilization you will thus maintain the mill
tary spirit, which is the triumph of noble over
vulgar passions; it is fidelity to the flag, devo-
ton to country. Continue in the same course
and you will always be worthy of SO great
nation" Such were the grand words OF the
Emperor on the occasion. 1t is easier to say
than to prove that the victories of France are
the triumph of noble over vulgar passions"
1t is the first opportunity that the Emperor
has had since the elections to give us a bit Of
his mind, and it is fact not unsuggestive that
he has spoken to the soldiers. So long as
Napoleon has the army on his side it is we'll.
But this speech to the army seems to imply
something more than desire to be on good
terms with the army. 1t seems to point to
possible requirements for the army beyond the
frontier. To our mind this last address of the
Emperor shows that he is fully alive to the
situation

CUTTING LOOSE FROM CANADA.-Our spe-
oial telegram from Montreal, published else
where, gives point to the argument and reasons
for the fact that England is bothered by the
care of her Canadian Dominion, and that the
North American colonies may have their inde-
pendence almost at any moment for the asking.
Mr.. Gladstone and John Bright advocate the
severance Of the governmental bond for the
main reason that Great Britain must in future
''look out for India and cannot afford to clutch
the Canadas under her wing at the same mo-
ment. The mother country is about 10 secede,
so that the transatlantic bantling will soon be
forced to attempt to stand alone. Let the
Canadians seize the opportunity. They are
really stout fellows, and will not fall, as they
stand at the door Of powerful nation ready
either to adopt or force them in ''out of the
cold" as may appear best. Come along.
''The more the merrier."

Mr.. Borie, as Secretary Of the Navy, has
appears are, his inaptitude for public life, his
enfeebled condition in bodily health, the claims
of his private business, and the overshadow-
ing figure of Admiral Porter. Any one of
these reasons would be sufficient to justify
Mr.. Borie's abdication; but all taken to-
gether, it is wonder that he held his place
so long. He is a good man, as this wicked
world goes, an amable Christian gentleman Of
was out of his element in the Cabinet. His
example in retiring from the torments of the
politicians, the tortures Of red tape and the
towering epaulettes of Admiral Porter, might,
to the administration and the country, be
proftably followed by several other members
of the Cabinet, as it is, and we live in hope of
further changes. OF the Hon. George NJ.
Robson, the new Secretary of the Navy, we
are informed that as Attorney General Of New
Jersey, he has fulfilled the duties of his Office
good parts, and not man who will play
second fiddle to Admiral Porter even by way
of an experiment. There are some sharp fel-
lows among the Jersey politicians, and Mr.
Robson may be- one of them. He has the
training, it is said, of Philadelphia lawyer,
and if half that we have heard Of the Bore-
Porter muddle of the Navy Department be
true, only Philadelphia lawyer can straighten

SENSATIONAL NEws.-We received yester-
day, in conjunction with several of our con-
temporaries, news paragraph stating that
the Spanish General Letona, in Cuba, had
attacked a camp Of women, children and old
men, who had recently left the city of Puerto
Principe, and massacred the enormous num-
ber of two thousand of them. The news
reached us through an irregular channel, and
without any of those indications of truthful
ness or probability which practical news
editor so readily distinguishes, and we laid it
aside as wanting in credibiity. Our contem-
poraries have given the item with the usual
display heading but as they have abstained
from the comment which such an enormity
would demand we presume they entertained
grave doubts as TO the truth of the statement.
The story requires confirmation, indeed.
