The Case Of collector smyshc.


This is the case Of man who has been
badly sold on confidence. II IL case Of
deception and disappointment which shows the
necessity Of doing everything in business In
writing, date and contract, in white and black.
II ia well known that Collector Smythe did not
depend upon President Johnson to carry his
nomination for Russia through the Senate. IL
ia well known that while Johnson is pulled by
one set OF wires the Senate is pulled by
another. Collector Smyihe, to use a familiar
phrase, ''had seen" the Senate. Runor says
that he had bought IL aud paid for il In
advance. lie had counted noses and was all
right. We shouldn't wonder IL he had con-
tracted for his court costume gold lace and all,
90 as to be of with his confirmation. Senator
Morgan was his right hand man, and Morgan,
II was thought, could not fail. But he did fail,
and his failure at Albany, IL appears, was the
same as the failure OF his protcgG at Washing
ton. The Senator and his man were both
humbugged and cheated. While Morgan,
however, was cheated point blank, Smythe
was cheated by a flank movement of hedging
and lodging. But bargain broken on the
one side ceases TO be binding on tho other
side, and as Collector Smythe has no more
favors to ask or expect from his friends in the
Senate he can at least give them Roland fol
an Oliver. He has his Senatorial list. Lei
him publish 1t for the information Of others In
the same line TO come after him. In this way
by and by we may get At the Senatorial key B,

calculated to bring the American name and

service of the country be efficient or even re-
spected under such circumstances? But when
we look at the motive which appears to have
Influenced Mr.. Seward In taking the side OF
the Secretary Of Legation and against the
Minister his conduct is simply scandalous.
There was, as might have been expected,
job at the bottom. In the telegraph contract
and other contracts which Perry was making
with the Spanish government contrary to the
rules Of the service and instructions the name
Of Seward appears among Perry's associates.
Which one Of the family of Seward was con-
nected with these jobs we are not informed,
but this was enough to make the Secretary OF
State the friend and protector Of Perry and
the enemy Of Mr. Hale. 1t will be remem-
bered that the name of Seward was mixed up
with similar jobs in Mexico, and that the State
Department was used to promote and protect
them The family seem to be ambitious of
taking up the grandest schemes all over the
world-of railroad, canal, ocean telegraph and
land jobs to any extent and everywhere, and all
under the egis Of tAs head Of the house, the
present Seoretary Of State. But y y not .

Tho Incoming Administration - Tronolc
Among the Politicians.

There is growing uneasness among the
party men with regard 70 Grant. All those
who would be in the Cabinet-all the cliques
that would control the administration aud
manage the government like party spoil
express through their organs a nervous rest
lessness as Inauguration day approaches, and
they find they are none the better for 1t, either
in fact or in hope. Ostensibly the radicals
laugh at the democrats for the notion that has
got into the heads Of these latter that Grant
and the radicals will not get on together but
their laughter indicates that they are not al all
amused at the fancy. They are extrayasaht
with the sort OF laughter that makes US
doubly serious shortly after" IL Is natural
enough thought with the democrats that Grant
is not likely to be on the best OF terms with
politicians who must inevitably be at war with
all whom they cannot bully into tho silent and
placid adoption Of their ideas; and the fact
that the radicals have no better answer TO
make than their uncomfortable screeches Of
artificial laughter shows that they perceive
this and are seeing clearer and clearer
the administration. They know that
they-the whole tribe OF cliquesmen and
policy mongers--wil be at war with Grant,
not, as the democrats foolishly fancy, because
Grant, like some poor predecessors. will guar
rel with his party, but because he will moi
recognize these swindling politicians and will
not accept or suffer their dctation and control Ia
matters entrusted to him by the American
people
If ever The people could fairly hope that the
Presidency would be accepted in the right
| spirit surely they may hope this In the case Of
Grant. Hitherto the nation has seen men 20
into the Presidential Office not to perform its
duties, not accepting the onerous trust imposed,
but merely to loll on the cushions Of political
life and give power into hands in which the
uatiou would never have trusted II. BY this

Trouble In the American Legation
Madrid.

II win be seen by a sharp letter published
in another part Of the paper from our Minister
at Madrid, John p. Hale, to member Of Con-
gress from New Hampshire, that a dsgracefnl
state OF things has existed In the American
Legation for some time past, and that Mr..
Seward is chiefly TO blame for II. II appears
that the Secretary Of Legation, Mr.. Perry, has
been behaving badly both toward the Minister
and In entering into jobs and contracts in
Spain, contrary to the rules and dignity Of the
diplomatic service, and that he sheltered him
self behind the Secretary Of State. Mr.. Sew
ard, In fact, protected Mr.. Perry In his miscon-
duct, and went so far even as to demand the
resignation Of Mr.. Hale. This conduct on the
mart Of tho Secretary Of State Is contrary to

PARAGUAy.-The news from the allied
army is very important. Lopez is . fugitive
in the interior Of the country he has been 50
bravely defending, and Brazil is now master
of the position. All this, however, must be
taken with the usual amount Of allowance we
have had to give to the allied reports during
the war. If the news be confirmed we may
expect in the next year to see some extraor-
binary political combinations on the La Plata
river.
The New York herald., 1869-01-30
The Telegraph Monopoly and Congress,

The TeIeRrnph monopoly ana congress-
The effort made by the telegraph rings to
prove that the national government can only
make failure if it interferes with the tele-
graphic system can be of little avail in pre-
venting the downfall of the monopoly The
people Of the United States have determined
to take possession Of the telegraph business,
attach II to the postal system and reduce the
cost Of sending our wishes and thoughts
throughout the country to the lowest possible
figure. This over the wires should not DO
more than ten cents per message to any part
OF the country, and we are certain that very
shortly we shall see this cheap rate established.
The telegraph and Post Office properly belong
together, and it is simply ridiculous to sup
pose that the government can manage one-haif
the business and q private corporation the
other. The two branches are inseparable, SO
far as public interests are concerned. Finan-
cially there can be no question but it is for the
general good to be master, owner and manager
Of that which affects directly every citizen in
the country.
Telegraphs and railroads must come under
the control Of government; for they have grown
to such gigantic proportions that they are used
to subvert the legitimate interests OF commerce
and communication, and have become the sport
Of rings organized for no other purpose but
to swindle the different communities, unscttle
values and destroy trade.
