AsHLEY.-We have seen it stated in several
papers lately that Impeacher Ashley, the pres
rnt Governor of Montana, made n speech at
BoZeman City, in that Territory, recently and
astonShed the audience by declaring that he
was in favor OF making Montana "white
mans government" If such is the case it Is
very easily accounted for. Ashley got himself
appointed Governor of Montana against the
protest of nearly every respectable man in
that country Republicans as we'll as Demo
Gratis, and finding himself in bad odor with the
Radicals, he probably hopes that by turning his
coat in time he might better his chances for
the United States Senate from Montana when
that Territory should be admitted; and the
Democratic majority of 1000 at the last eec-
ton in that Territory was undoubtedly strong
argument with Ashley, causing him to flop"
over quickly. The Democratic party do not
desire any such acctssions. Ashley aud his
nfamy are in their element when in the Radi-
cal ranks.

RADICALS DISSATISFIED WITH GRANT.

The Springfield Mass Republican of Oc
tober I'd, IN an article on the appointment Of
Ex-Gw, Low to the Chinese mission, seems to
think that Mr.. Grant has been peculiarly un
fortunate in his diplomatic appointment. We
quote from the article as follows: "We have
no doubt MIR. Low will do himself and the
country more credit in this position than bis
predecessor from the same section did, and at
the same time, as IN the case of most of Gen
Grants other diplomatic appointments, we are
free to say that some one of more conspicuous
qualifications for the place, which is now one
of much Importance, might have been select
ed" One by one the Radical papers are
changing from fulsome aduation of Grant to
criticisms on his appointments. Wendell Phil
who failed to obtain office under the Great
Captain" and from criticisms on the proprety
of some of Grants appointments, Wendell has
commenced indulging in few phillippics,
which is beginning to arouse the Radical camp
ITO your tents Oh Israel another Buchanan
sits in the White House" So says Wendell,
and in Il few months more the Radical pack
will be at Grants heels The seaside l0un-
ger" although he has returned to Washington,
seems in no hurry to trouble himself with
official affairs, as We are informed that he paid
particular care to visit his stables before he
did the Secretary Of State, notwithstanding
the important questions to be considered and
disposed of in regard to our relations with
Spain and the seizure of Spanish gun boats
1t appears from all the late dispatches that
Mr.. Grant finds ample time to grant an audi.
ence to every carpet-bagger from the States of
Texas, Mississippi and Tennessee, and even TO
devote a considerable portion of his time in.
plotting for the success of the Radical party
in Pennsylvania and Ohio He has sufficient
time to attend to party interests, but none to
devote to public affairs. TO use mountain
phrase, which, II not polished expressions, is,
to say the least o very expressive one, we con
Sider Mr.. Grant about the most stupendous
" blk " of the present age, and we think that his
party is about coming To the same conclusion.
New-York tribune., 1869-03-19

We object to the objections against Gen'
Longstreet's confirmation (as stated In our dis
patches), because they proceed upon the theory
that the use of Southern offices is to provide
"forD Southern loyalists. OF course these VIII
get any way, and rightly get, nineteen twentieths
if not ninety-nine One-hundredths of those
Offices But they will get them because of
the belief, first, that they are fit for them, and,
second. that their appointment will have a
good effect upon the country-not be-
cause they have to be provided
"for." We urge Gen. Longstreets connr-
nation on precisely the same grounds. we
are sure he is fit for the place to when ne Is
nominated; and we are sure that the recognl-
ton by the Government Of his manly and hon
Orable course since the surrender would nave
the best possible effect upon the country.
Gen. Longstreet is not 0ne OF the
patriots who want to be provided for" ana
we doubt whether he at all desires the Office
to which he was so unexpectedly appointed; ;
but he is the most conspicuous OF the late
Rebel officers frankly to accept the
situation and throw his whole great
influence in favor of loyalty, quiet,
and Peace. We want to show that
such course is appreciated Having in war
been enemies, we want in peace to be friends,
and we believe that one such act in honor OF
conspicuous Rebel who has for years
led the way in manifesting thoroughly
loyal and patriotic disposition, would be
worth more in inspiring returning
sense of loyalty to the Government among the
Rebel population at the South than fifty places
bestowed solely on the theory of furnishing
subsistence to people who must be provided
{" for.n and for whom their friends fear there
are not offices enough.

this region--differing slightly in elevation, and
generally 1900 to 1000 feet above the level Oh
the sea. Water-generally to be had only In
the streams and the springs at the base OF the
mountains-.can be obtained here by sinking wells
at no great depth. In his last message to.
the Legislature of Arizona, Gov. McCormick
strongly sets ont the fertility OF these plains'
and recommends that provision be made Tor
procuring water by sinking wells when ne
says will make this country blossom ike the
rose. West of the 112th meridian the road
line crosses what is called the Colorado
desert. by way of the ella River, ana
thence from Fort Yuma to San DleSo
its course is through Southern Callior-
mia, which partakes here of the general cnar-
acter of that rich and beautiful State Inc
noble harbor of San Diego, which forms tne
Pacific terminus of this road is second on the
Pacific coast only to that of San Francisco.
Of the ultimate value of railroad 10 the
Pacific on this route we have no doubt. BE"
fore the war Congress had granted to the
Memphis and FL Paso Company valuable iran
chises. Now it asks little, beyond right OF
way. It's managers embrace gentlemen OF ma
tional reputation and undoubted capacity and
responsibility; they are confident of success,
and the fact that they ask so little, while
Others have been asking SO much, must weigh
heavily in their favor.

were to undertake TO set forth the clrcula'ion
of our several Daiies alone.
But other persons, this report says, are not
reouired by law to make "S,0orn statements OF
their transactions" Some are others are
not but no such statements are required by
this hill What is required is a true statement /;
and that is just what the minority reporter
evidently breads.
All but the bill would cast stigma upon
at tbe fair famer &C., &c. We answer, NO more
than the laws which regulate weights ana
measures now do, if so much. The City Sealer
goes into any mans grocery, tests and cor
rects his weights and measures at his proper
cost this bill only requires the publisher TO
state what he gives for the advertisers money.
And then "the proposed law might be used
"by malicious persons substantially to aDrluge
"tbe freedom of the press" How sol All
that INV publsher needs to shield him from
malice il TO tell the truth. The only free
"dom n abridged is the freedom of lying.
But again: "the law would be Graded by
"fctitious issues and gratuitOus circulation"
Just now, the publishers were call, all honor
cable men," who would scorn to misrepresent
or prevaricate now they will lie so that the
law proposed can do no sort of good!
we will not pursue this qulbbler another
inch. 1t is plain that he is some publisher OF
a periodical living on bygone reputation, anu
cheating advertisers out of sums for when ne
can render no sort of equivalent. lie means 10
persevere in selling publicity which ho cannot
give and the proposed act would be badly IN
his way 1t seems amazing that any member
of an important Committee would lend his
name to such farrago; and we will presume,
until we hear further, that no one has done so
that the pettifOgger for sham journalism has
borrowed name as he assumes circulation,
in order by duping advertisers, to exc out
miserable existence.
New-York tribune., 1869-03-19

Another important step has been taken in
the Colenso case. The Metropolitan of the
Anglican doceses in South Africa, after ex-
communicating Colenso and deposing him from
Office, has now consecrated another bishop for
Colenso's diocese. This is probably the first
instance of bishop of the Church of England
within the British dominions having been ap-
pointed by tho ecclesiastical instead Of the Sec
ular authority 1t is clearly q serious blow to
the principle of State churchism. Many high
and low churchmen though strenuously opposed
to the theological views of DR.. ColensO, have
therefore taken tho alarm and petitioned the
home Government against the recognition of
the new Bishop. The controversy, in its present
shape, is likely to give new interest and strength
TO the movement which is now going on in the
United Kingdom in favor of separating Church
and State.
New-York tribune., 1869-03-19

We trust the House will not be in hurry
to pass the Senate bill in reference to the
naval service. This bill is understood TO DC
the work of Admiral Porter, and Is SIMPLY the
expression of his desire to make invldlous dis-
tnctions between officers of the line ana
officers of the staff. 1t is an old question
in the Navy. and it is not wise for the
Department to force it upon the country. The
duties of the staff and the line are dissimilar;
but there is certainly nothing in the education
of Midshipman, Commander, or even an
Admiral, to justify Congress in making
invidious distinctions between him ana sur
geon and Engineer We regard this oil just
as we regard tho recent orders OF the Navy
Department, merely an ottempt to create naval
grades Of aristOcracy. 1t is Annapolis clamor-
ing to have the same recognition IN the
Navy that we give to West Point
in the Army. There has been too much OF TINS
both in the Army and the Navy. Let the
House consider this bill carefully, and not oe
merely dragged at the heels of the Navy De-
partment as a mere register of the experments
! or the prejudices of ViceAdmiral Porter
New-York tribune., 1869-03-19

Tn the English House of Commons the bill
for the dsestablshment of tho Irish Church
came up for its second reading yesterday. Mr..
Disraeli was the first speaker against it, re-
peating the same arguments to which England
has so often listened before. The leader Of the
Tories, while defending the enormous privi-
leges of the Church and the aristocracy.
has not yet grown weary of denouncing
the great reform measure of the Lib
eral party, as likely to destroy religious
freedom aud federation. The Inconsistencies of
Mr., Disraeli were shown up by Dir. Gregory,
rIrnlber for Galway; but it is somewhat sig
niiicant that the first speaker on the Ministe-
rial side declared that he was not pleased with
tho proposed scheme Of distribution, but pre-
ferred an equitable division of the Church prop
erty among the three prominent churches Of
Ireland.
New-York tribune., 1869-03-19

The Senate Report, printed elsewhere, sheds
little light on the Albany practices. and that
little has been seen before. Those who
choose may believe that shrewd business men
in all other pursuits in life keen
sighted enough in detecting humbugs, and
quite capable, when they spend their money
of getting their moneys worth-loso their wits
when they go to Albany, and waste hundreds
of thousands of dollars on arrant impos-
tors, who pretend to bribe legislators
with it and really put it in their own pockets.
The idea presumes extraordinary verdancy on
tho exact point on which all do know that
these men are not verdant and the recon-
mendation to abolish the punishment
for persons offering bribes, in order to get at
the evidence against those accepting bribes, is
opinion on the subject does not greatly differ
from our own.
New-York tribune., 1869-03-19

President Grant yesterday affixed his sigma
ture to the bill "To Strengthen the Public
Credit" pledging the faith of the United
States to the payment, in coin or its equiva-
lent. of the National Debt This is well: though
we fail to perceive the wisdom of interpolating
into that excellent act this utterly irrelevant
provisO:
"Rut none OF the said nerestbeartng obligations not
already dine shall be redeemed paid before maturity
unless at such times as United States notes sal 90 CON
vertb info coin the option OF the holder or ~
sch time bonds Of the United States, bearing blower
rate of interest than the bonds TO be redeemed can DO
sold Rt par IN coin"
-Why9 Is it the object of this proviso to
perpetuate the present blunder of boarding One
Hundred Millions of gold, whereof Sixty Mil
lions are fairly disposableH Or does it merely
mean to restrict the Secretary of the Treasury,
in the use of that gold to the purchase OF
Five e-Twenties on which the right of redemp-
ton has already maturedf In either or in any
case, we hold this prOvisO blunder. The
Treasury ought to use its gold so fast as may
be in the extinction of Public Debt; and the
Secretary should be free to buy whatever
bonds he may be able to obtain on the best
terms for the Government. In any case, this
provisO strikes us as an unmitigated nuisance

It is refreshing to contemplate Mr.. Hitchman
struggling to be Clerk to the Board of Educa-
ton, although we know that great men gen.
orally want small places. But the object for
which hc and his friends are struggling is too
important to escape comment If the parish
schools of the Catholic Church are to be sup
ported out of the public treasury, why should not
similar schools in every Protestant denomination
have the same rightsf II it is not the duty of the
State to educate its children, what is to become
of those whose parents are not in communion
with any church in country without State
churchH These inquiries are suggested by the
conspiracy TO overthrow the Public School
System, detailed in another page, and are the
text of "a long aud serious argument

One half the extravagant cost OF living in
New-York depends upon the price of beef. We
have here two millions Ofpeople paying twenty
five cents a pound for it. In Texas they have
millions of cattle worth on the prairies from one
70 five cents pound. If the scheme, detailed in
another column and about to be put on
trial, prove success, We have, III
effect, the vast herds of Texas cattle made
MS accessible for the supply of our butcher
shops as the drove-yards at Communipaw.
Whoever solves the problem of transporting
fresh meat for long distances, reduces largely
the cost of living in cities, utilities the
grazing lands of the West, and achieves
fortune for himself We doubt whether this
plan of using chemical means to maintain an
artificial temperature sufficiently cold to pre-
serve the meat is the satisfactory solution OF
the problem, but we certainly wish it success.

Fifty passengers from the Pacific coast, over
the Union Pacific Railway, unite in a card,
saying they were suffered to purchase tickets
aud start without information Of the fact that
Che mountain parts of the line had been inn
passable for ten to twenty days; that unneces-
,Eary cruelty was practiced upon them, and
ahat the Division Superntendents were abso-
1utely unfit and incapable. Then the cheerful
dispatch goes on that, inasmuch as the

"of these passengers is removedn We ven
ture to suggest that the cause would be more
nearly removed by removal of those Division
Superintendents and swindling ticket agents.

The aspiration of TIE TRIBUNE expressed
a week or more ago. has been realized. The
first bill signed by our new President was
the one renewing the pledge of the
Government to the world that our
debt should be honestly paid as it
was fairly contracted. 1t is an auspicious be-
ginning for the Administration. Long before
Gen. Grants term of Office shall expire, we
look to see the National finances on so
sound basis that men will wonder
how a question about the payment
of orr debt could ever have been raised.
Meantime, let us remember the cheering fact
Grants first signature to bill of Congress is
TO the one to strengthen tho Public Credit.
