Mr.. Wells Report,
From, the ". z. Tribune.

From the ". T. Tribune.
The Evening Post, in attempting to defend
Mr.. Wells, says:-
after Mr.. Wells report was published, the
Tribune insisted, day after day. tnat IL was I'M
possible to learn what amount of duty was col
lected on, FOR example, sugar, tea, and spices,
and that Mr.. Wells was therefore useless.
The very Information demanded concerning
these leading articles is given in this report,
In note to page 25, and similar Statistics OF
every article imported are given in minute de.
tail In the official 'Commercial and Navigation
Report every year."
The information demanded is not given by
''either of the sources referred to. The note on
page 25 of Mr.. Wells report gives $50, 600, 900
as the average receipts" from duty per an
mum. But it does not state the actual receipts
for any year, nor what were the years taken
to compute this average. On its face it pos
merce and Navigation Reports" give the guam
titles and values imported only, and do not
give what we asked of the Treasury Depart
ment-the amount Of tariff actually collected on
each article. We presume the Commissioner of
Customs therefore certified the truth when he
stated that such information was not in the pos
session of his own or of the Statistical Bureau,
and that these were the only places where it
could be applied for. II the actual amount of
duties collected on any article for any year is
unknown, how much is Mr.. Wells estimate
of the average amount for an indefinite num-
ber of years worth While the Post is correct
in stating that we have declared it to be "im-
possible to learn" what amount of duty is
collected from any one article, it is in error in
saying that We have asserted what sums they
do amount to on sugar, tea, coffee, spices, etc.
We have only computed the sums which the
quantities imported, if taxed at the average
rates named in the tariff act as nearly as we
could average them, would call for.

Concerning Washington Percentages.

Concerning washington PerCentageS'
B,o,n the N. Y Tribune.
The efforts of the Washington clerks to get
twenty. or even ten per cent. extra pay,
having been once more killed, we trast that
uow IL NAV be allowed to stay dead. The
clerks all took their present places with dis
tinot knowledge Of what the salaries were
Thav entered into the contract with the Gov
eminent TO do certain work Tor certain pay
and most of them bored Congressman and Sec
retaries for months to get the privilege OF
making this contract. Yet, If they lind 1t op-
pressive, they have this advantage over other
people who make bad bargains, that sheet
OF paper and three minutes writing can
always secure them the means OF instant re-
lease. We submit, therefore, to their own
good sense whether they make good figure
spending weeks and months in unsuccessful
lobby ing for relief from this oppressive CON
tract. when a letter of resignation in three
lines would furnish perfect relief.
II has been misfortune Of the clerks that
tbev have wasted their valuable time on an
effort which they began at the wrong end.
Either they fairly earn higher wages than they
are now paid, or they do not. Ii they do, the
wages should be squsrely and honestly raised
to the Just standard; if they do not, they add
lack of decency to their lack OF wisdom in
converting themselves into chronic beggars
for ten per cent. or twenty per cent. presents
for single year or session.
We do not ignore the specious aud, in some
respects, sound pleas in favor of liberal deal
ing with the servants Of the Government.
But, aside from the fact that we can select
better seasons for display of liberality than
a time when we cannot pay our just debts,
we imagine that in Government service, as
well as In all other kinds, the law Of supply
and demand may well be expected to ex-
eroise a large influence in fixing the
rates of wages. The pay of the Washington
clerks may be too low, though it is certainly
much higher than the same average grade and
amount OF work command in this city; but 80
long as ten equally good men stand behind
the chair of every clerk, ready to quarrel
for its occupancy the moment he vacates it, a
prudent employer, himself in the gravest
pecuniary distress, would hardly think Of
raising the salaries. Gentlemen, be persuaded
that this is bad time tor attempting to escape
from the inexorable law which settles wages
every where else. The supply of such work
rs you furnish in the Washington depart
ments is enormously in excess of the demand.
When we get the Civil Service bill we hope to
raise the quality of your work, and reduce
the number engaged upon it. Till then, at
least you mast try to get along with a re-
muneration largely in advance of the average
rate.

Dangerous Situation or Spain.

From The ". Y. Herald.
The public advices from the Spanish penin-
sula continue to TEEN with indications of dis
quiet on the part both Of the provisional gov
eminent and the people, while private letters,
come they from what source or partisan they
may or from whatever portion of the.cOuntry
bear unanimous witness to the general expec-
tation of an early carnival of strife and blood.
The Spanish nation is indeed in a situation
pregnant with danger not only to itself, but to
the peace of Europe. Those who view only
the surface of things have been astonished at
the spectacle recently presented, in the rapid
and successful attempt against the last OF the
Bourbon thrones and the peace which in the
main has ruled in the peninsula since the
flight of Isabella Second. But deeper in
spection of Spanish affairs and Spanish de-
velopment will show growth OF ideas which
for years have been sapping the foundations
of dynasty ruled by policy that has been
nothing more than Bourbon graft upon the
trunk planted by the crafty and false Ferdi-
nand and Isabella during the closing years OF
the fifteenth century. The throne sank with
the first touch, but the peace is simply that
of the hour of preparation.
The rail and the telegraph made their ad-
vent in the peninsula about the same time
with the discovery OF gold in California, and
their construction and extension therein made
little progress until the tide of wealth from the
fields of the Pacific had begun to fill and sti
mulate the channels OF European wealth and
Industry. Although at that time the govern
ment was nominally a constitutional monar
oby. Il was, in spirit and in fact, the Towering
of the Hapsburg policy in the Spain OF th'
sixteenth century, modified only by the family
axioms of the Bourbons. Sessions of the Cortei
were the exception, not the rule; and the king
dom was mainly governed by royal decree
The military and privileged classes throngeC
the court, while the people ate, wore anc
thought as did their forbears OF three cen
turies before. With the rail, following ant

diplomatic representatives ought to be the
political as well as the commercial Importance
of our relations with the countries to which
we send them, and our greater or lass facility
of communication with those countries. We
send ministers of the first rank to England
and France, because our political as we'll as
our commercial relations with those countries
are of the first consequence, though such Of
late years have become our facilities of COM
munioation with both Of them, that the i'm
portance to us of maintaining in either
a plenipotentiary representative has
been greatly diminished. With the
South American republics we have no
1t worth while for us to maintain there repre-
sentstives Of equal rank with those whom we
send to States which are constantly exertipg
q serious influence upon the current political
history of our times, while such have become
our facilities of rapid communication between
those republics and Washington since Califor-
mia came into the Union and the Panama Rail
way was opened, that it is quite unnecessary for
us to do more than maintain at two or three
leading centres diplomatic agents OF a respect
able grade, competent to keep the home gov
erpment accurately and promptly informed of
what is going on about them, and to exert a
general supervision over the deoaying but still
considerable intercourse of the United States
with the southern continent.
This intercourse we say Is "decaying.'
This is the lamentable truth. To take but a
single example: Our trade with Peru, which
appears in 1864 at no more than a million of
dollars, amounted in 1853 to more than
five millions. In the same year, England
did business of less than $l5, 600, 900 and
France did business of less than $4,000 900
with the same country. Now, as we have
seen, the English trade with Peru is more
than twenty and the French trade more than
ten times as large as our own. What we
have lost, England and France have gained.
If we desire to recover our ground, the way
to do so is not to waste our money on diplo-
matte parade abroad, but to reform our policy
and to change our rulers at home.

or elsewhere, less under the influence of the
personal ambition which alone could lead to
such issues than General Grant. Nothing Ia
his past career, nothing in his known oharao-
ter, nothing he has ever done, or said, gives
the faintest color of deoenoy TO such speoula
tions concerning his future course as thoss in
which the World sees fit to indulge.
We do not expect that General Grant will
govern his official action by the rules or re-
quirements of party discipline; but we have no
idea that he will so far depart from party
principles or usages as to provoke the dis
trust and hostility of the Republican party.
lie may not 90 so fast, or so far, or accept so
promptly as party leaders may require, all
that they may expect or demand at hts hands
But that he will conform to all the leading
principles and measures of the Republican
party, and consult its sentiments and its in
terest, in all essential points of opinion and of
action, we see no reason whatever to doubt
Nor is there the slightest reason to suspect
that he will not rely upon that party rather
than the Democratic, in all political matters,
for support. As between the two, his past
action and his frequent and emphatic declara-
tions leave no room for doubt
But we do believe that General Grant will
look to the great body Of tho people, rather
than to any mere party, for that support aud
approval without which successful admins
tration OF the Government is impossible. The
questions likely to arise and command most
attention are not those upon which political
parties have hitherto been most sharply
divided. Indeed, now that the policy of re-
construction is substantially settled, very
few of the issues Of the past can enlist action
hereafter. The political parties of the future
will be created mainly by the policy which
General Grant may adopt in his administra-
tion. And the danger which the World and
its party has most to fear is, that he may draw
TO his support so large portion of those who
have hitherto acted with the Democrats, as TO
render the further maintenance OF the orga-
nization of that party impossible.
