General Grant has committed no such faults

We can reason about General Grants Ad-

premises. But reasoning merely from his
character, apart from his uDdeveloped OPT

rather favorable. So cool, phlegmatc, self

must feel a natural contempt for those rest

influence has been supreme in our politics for
so many years. 1t is not probable that he
will ever utter, or even echo, any frothy rho
domontade on the favorite topics of the
radicals. man of his peculiar make is likely
to be very matter -of-fact and practical, neither
doing or saying anything calculated to cause
great efiervescence in the public mind. His
administration, so far as his personal feelings
control it, will CONS family weigh like leaden
pail upon the exoitable temper of the radical
party, and be more favorable to return to
common sense, than if he were more brilliant
and fertile. A good copious dose of dullness
is, in some states of the public mind, the best
medicine that can be administered. The
country does not Reed'to be reused or electri-
fed, but quieted; and a sedste, practical, tact
turn President is perhaps the best suited to
such period as the present. The people
will be more easily cured of fanaticism by ab.
solutely ignoring the topics that feed it, than
by any other method.

Commercial Morality in England and The
United states.

AhLVu CtdtCoe
From, the ". Y Herald.
The American people rather like to expose
and comment on the faults of England and
Epglisbmep, and no doubt there are faults
enough to call forth censure. Nor are Eng
lisbmen less ready TO lash us Americans. But
with all the faults of England we must say
that justice is dealt out impartially to high and
low criminals alike in tnat country, while
here rich or politically powerful sooundrels
have no difficulty in escaping the laws. We
might cite many examples in Eogland during
the last few years to show how punishment
has been awarded to evil doers in the highest
ran ks of life. There is the case of Sir John
Dean Paul, prominent banker, who was con-
victed and sent to penal settlement in Aus
tralia, and other similar cases of the convic-
tion of rich and prominent men; and lately
there is the famous case of the Gurneys and
their partners, of the firm of Overend, Cur
ney q Co. The GuTneys are old and dis
tiDguished Quaker family, of immense wealth
and of the highest social position. They were
among the Oldest bankers OF England, and
hardly any equalled them in the magnitude
of their transactions. Yet these men are
committed to take their trial for criminal
offense, and il there be evidence enough to
convict them they will assuredly suffer the
vengeance of the law, just as the lowest
criminals do. 1t is a great point in England
and with English Judges to maintain the
commercial character of the country, and it is
this that has given England her high posi-
tion in the commercial world. How is it with
us We have plenty of Gurneys in this city.
Our great railroad managers and the managers
of other gigantic enterprises and companies
defraud the public and the stockholders with
impunity. They are even honored for their
successful swindlipg; for here success, or the
acquisition of great wealth by even the most
questionable means, is the highest morality
that is, it gives men the highest positions.
They are the magnates of society and in the
community. They may do what they please,
and the law will never reach them. Our
Gurneys of Wall street are perfectly secure
This is shocking state of things, and until
RENE died we shall stand below England in
commercial character. With all the splendid
opportunities for making money in the most
profitable enterprises here people are afraid to
trust their property in the hands OF our rail.
road and stock kjobbing magnates. II We would
follow the example OF England in Furnishing
great defrauders the commercial character of
the country would stand much higher, and it
is time we devised some means to accomplish
that object.

The lnsurreclion in Cuba.

FT01n Upe ~ 4. HtTUtU.
Recent Washington dispatches furnish
us with important information in regard
to the views of General Grant upon the
subject of the Independence of Cuba. 1t ap-
pears that General Van Allen, who has just
returned from cruise among the West India
islands in the yacht Henrietta, had, during
his absence, confidential communications GO with
leading insurgents on the island OF Cuba.
From information thus gathered be has no
doubt of the speedy success OF the revou-
tionists All the facts he obtaiHed he COM
municated 70 General Grant upon his arrival
in Washington, when the latter openly ex-
pressed his opinion that Congress should
not only pass resolutions avowing sympathy
with the revolutionary movement in Cuba,
but also authorizing the President to reoog-
Lie her independence when in his opinion
the proper moment arrived. This declara-
tion General Van Allen was authorized to
communicate TO members of Congress-, and,
DO doubt, was the ms piration of Senator
J Sberman's resolutions in regard to Cuba
; which were presented in the Senate on Satur-
| day and referred to the Committee on Foreign
| Relations. General Grant also averred that
we owed nothing to Spain, for the reason
that she han bored the Rebel cruisers and
otherw ise encouraged the Rebellion during
the dark hours OF our struggle for national
| existence. Taking the public expression OF
these views Of the President-elect - who
within few days will be in a position to
enforce his opiDions-in connection with the
recent successes OF the revolutionists in Cuba
and the reported landing of American volun-
teeIs at two points on the island, and IT will
be idle to deny that the doom of the Queen
OF the Antilles" is sealed, and that her nag
ofindependenoe will in a brief period aoat
from the towers of the MORO Castle.

General Grant aud the Revenues.

E,o,n At6 ~. y. tribune
General Grant has plainly expressed his in.
teption to appoint civilians to civil offices, but
tbis general rule does not preclude resort
70 those military men who have left the service,
or even to those disposed to leave IL, in cases
where they may bs specially required. Among
other of his giviDgs-out 10 this noteworthy
one. that the internal revenue can and shall
be fully and fairly collected. His thorough
knowledge of the men under his command is
we'll proved. For instance, he knew the
stuf. and tact, and strength of Sherman and
Sheridan, and he knew how to take out the
last tuck of force and faculty there was in
them, In his own appointments and assign
ments to special and difficult duty he never
made mistake. These points nave clearly
this bearing upon the collection 1.-THE whisky
tax at least-if civilians fail him, he has
enough of army officers in reserve, whom he
knows, to supply the Injected districts with
assessors and collectors that will an
swer as with their lives for the full perform
ance of their duties without fear, favor
or affection. The thieves may as well take
notice. In the year 1866, when the tax upon
distilled spirits was 81 per gallon, and the
amount collected was twenty-nine millions of
dollars, one of the largest of our commission
merchants, who had at the time thousands of
barrels of whisky in his storehouse, said that
II the Government would give him the right
u COueOb tuo laA, no Wouiu ohba6o w pay tuo
whole interest upon the public debt. Now
this interest for that year was one hundred
and thirty-three millions aud the gentleman
referred to was at once thoroughly acquainted
with the trade, and eminently capable of esti-
mating its amount and the amount of tax
honestly due upon it. The presumption in
favor of his opinion is clear from the fact that
only sixty-seven millions OF gallons should
have paid the interest, which would have left
him at least eighty millions Of dollars to pay
the expenses of collection and give his profit.
If President Grant puts his resolution into
full force, at the present rate Of duty he will
squeeze half the inter est on our debt out of
the manufacturers and dealers in Intoxicating
liquors. We expect him to do it, and to use
all the means, ordinary and extraordinary, in
his power.
