Messrs. Spofrord Tileston & Co. now assert upon
the return OF the vessel to this port that she has not

Tho Right Negro In sAe RIsh. r,aee.

Mr. Il. d. Bassett, our negro Minister to
Hayti, enjoyed two separate official interviews
with President Grant yesterday. The colored
diplomat is described by our Washington cor
respondent as of excellent address and good
bearing, of polished manner, modest, quick In
perception of the situation and well posted on
the political questions of the day He Is the
first colored gentleman appointed by General
Grant to foreign mission, and he
certainly appears remarkably well qualified to
represent his government abroad. He re-
garded his more close Introduction to the
President as ''trying ordeal, but 1t must be
acknowledged, although he does not appear
puffed with pride at the achievement, that he
acquitted himself remarkably WELL General
Grant was attended by Secretaries Fish and
Creswell. Minister Bassett was presented
with cigar by the President, whom he styles
''Mr. Grant," and after the enjoyment
of q fragrant smoke with the Chief
Magistrate and Mr.. Creswell the three dis
tinguished individuals, consulted map OF
Hayti and an encyclopedia. Annexation was
spoken of by Mr.. Bassett and treated eau
tiously by ''Mr." Grant. The Minister'S In
structions are merely oral, the General having
full faith in his patriotism fidelity and hon
esty. Mr.. Bassett will sail from New York
next Thursday. The late Mr.. Mason, when
American Ambassador In Paris, rated tho
Minister from Hayti at Napoleen's Court al
zone thousand dollars, clothes and al."
General Grants man is invaluable at this
estimate

IRISH IMMIeRAuoN.-M q meeting Of the
Knights Of st. Patrick in st. Louis, few
days since, it was proposed to hold National
Convention for the purpose Of encouraging
Irish immigration TO this country. This spe-

been getting along very aourishingly with no
other conventions than those of the savings

Ing very well, and that ST. Domingo may be

gress, he is resolved for q season to take
things quietly and smoke his cigar In peace.
This may be pronounced "a lame and impo-
tent conclusion" and a transformation OF
General Grant utterly impossible; yet such as
we have indicated appears to be his position
and his policy. His position seems to be that
of man satisfied with things as they are and
Indifferent to the shaping Of events and his
policy appears as that of mastery inactivity,
and peace at all hazards Of delay upon every
question affecting our foreign relations. Will

THE WESTERN Press AND THE ALABAMA
CLAMs.-.The Western papers are amusing
themselves with the plea of the Lalrds Of Bir-
kenhead in regard to the "neglect" Of the
British government in allowing the Alabama to
leave on piratical cruise against the American
mercantile marine. One OF the smartest Of
these Western papers, the Chicago Post, SAYS
Negligence Is just what we have all the time
complained of-piratical negligence. Negli-
gence whereby vessel, built for piratical pur-
poses, and known to have been built for such
purposes, was allowed to leave England. We
have never dreamed OF claiming that England
built the Alabama, OF sent 1t out upon the high
seas on a piratical cruise. We have claimed
that England was guilty of criminal neglect in
not enforcing Its Foreign Enlistment act, 30 as
to prevent the said piratical cruise. And It is
the confession Of this negligence which estab-
fishes our claim"

Disgra cling Patriotism.

That officer of marines who 80 outraged all
the decencies of humanity at Arlington
perhaps thought he was in some way COM
mending himself for great zeal to the powers
that be; and either he has most unjustif-
able opinion of those powers, or 1t is bad
omen for the country If they are to be pleased
in that way. Does this functionary reflect
the views that prevail near headquartersp Is
it possible that we cannot see how to be
patriots without being brutes Is it possible
that our respect for a great cause requires us
to exercise mean supervision over the actions
and thoughts Of those whose sorrows differ
from ours in their direction Is this horrible
tyranny of a majority to 60 into the sacred
domain of the grave, too, and shall no one be

the zeal that pursues quarrel beyond the

but we have always desired to believe that it
was only necessarily so. Permit us, men in
authority, to believe that there is still freedom
for woman to 60 to the grave of her son or
her lover and cast upon it token of remem-
brance. If there is not, what better are you
than the brutal despots that made Austria

in the case of Messner, the Rochester murder
er, sentenced to be executed on Friday next.
1t seems that Messner has uttered threats Of
killing more people in case he should ever re-
gain his liberty. In this Messner made a
blunder If he had professed contrition and
manifested devout and earnest spirit he
might have touched chord of sympathy which
the peculiar circumstances of his crime would
seem to have justified. 1t will not do for GRIM

TIE NIooLsoN PAVEMENT, before it was
laid down here to any extent, was lauded as
the most durable Of all pavements in use, and
we were told Of its lasting twenty years in
some Western city with scarcely any expense
for repairs. We believe the stories were true,
too. How, then, can we account for the differ
ence in the pavement West and East? Is IL
altogether due to the greater wear and tear?
No. 1t is due to great difference in the
pavement ITSELF Out West the pavement is
laid on oak. The basis of the structure is a
good foundation Of hard wood, which supports
the elastic shell above Here we have the
Nicolson pavement without the oak--a pine
veneer without the firm wood behind-and ac-
cordingly a very perishable article. For this
is paid in certain streets three hundred dollars
house. We pay exorbitantly and do not get
the real article. II is our fortune to adopt the
improvements of other cities with some main
point of the Improvement left out. Thus our
Belgian pavement has been very successful in
Europe; but there 1t is laid on cement. Here
we put it on sand and II caves In accordingly.

SECRETARY BOUTWELL, AND WALL STREET.
The Secretary of the Treasury has main
tanned silence and pursued policy which have
greatly aggravated the Wall street gamblers.
He is reticent enough to prevent them from
specializing upon his intentions, and fearless
enough not to be driven by them from what he
considers the true administration of his duties.
He is jealously watchful Of the great mercan-
tile interests Of the country, and seems intent
upon keeping them free of the violent pertur-
bations which flow from disordered financial
measures. One of his latest moves against
the gamblers is an order announcing that 40
news Of the department will be communicated
until after banking hours. 1t will thus appear
in the papers next morning and everybody
will have fair chance, should it be of a char
acter to affect the markets
