 NASHVILLE, Tenn. Feb IS, 1868 Jas. Puddle X Co.,, Louisville, Ky.-When living in your city, used several bottles of Dr..

MORE OF THE RoGUEs' WAR.-The war
against Superintendent Kennedy, waged in
the interest of men whose lives are
passed in defying the laws, has this especial
point of interest for the public-its whole ami
mus is due to the fact that the Superintendent,
with the qualification Of some foibles, is man
thoroughly in earnest in the performance of
his duties, and does not perform those duties
in any spirit Of compliment or politeness to-
ward the rogues or their friends, the shyster
lawyers. Because the people at large too fire.
quently neglect to note the character of the
men with whom Kennedy comes in collision,
and seeing him impcrious and abrupt they
assume that he might act in similar way in their
own cases, they are apt to misplace their SYM
pathies and thus encourage the disorderly
classes in war against authority. The
habeas corpus case now up cannot excite any
feeling against the Superintendent so long as
people observe the character of the respective
parties to it.

MORE DIFFICULTIES OF RELATIVE RANK
There is now up, it seems, question Of
dignity between the navy men abroad and
the diplomats accredited to different foreign
governments. Through the difficulties that
attend the question which of these classes shall
receive the commands of the other in given
cases the public service suffers, and it is proper
that the points should be definitely settled.
Ministers and others are sent by the govern
ment to 60 over nice points with the authorities
of various countries, and when the naval
power comes along the naval officer is not
always willing to take the same view of the
diplomatic situation that had been previously
taken by the diplomatist himself. AS the navy
is not diplomatic machine this seems wrong,
but as the point comes up apropos to the
Washburn-P Paraguay middle that determine
ton is not to be made hastily, for 1t is obvi-
GUS that if the navy there had accepted the
diplomatic authority as binding upon 1t the
national dignity would have been unpieasantly
involved.

Our Postal Relations with France.

The existing postal treaty of the United
States with France will expire on the LIST of
next January. If by that date the French
Minister of Finance shall not have come to his
senses and withdrawn his opposition to the
new postal treaty, with reduced rates. which
Senator Ramsey was sent to Paris to negot-
ate, it may be well to try the effect of break
Inconvenience which would ensue, including
an inevitable diminution Of the large and
hitherto rapidly increasing trade of France
with this country, might soon enlarge the
short-sighted views of the Minister of Finance
and facilitate the efforts which other nations
have repeatedly made in vain to negotiate
postal treaty with France at reasonable rates.
The present rate of postage is thirty cents for
half ounce letters from the United States to
France. while it is only twelve cents to Eng
land and ten cents to Germany. The French
Postmaster General was intelligent enough to
recognize and recommend the advantages of
the treaty which Senator Ramsey was
instructed to propose; but he is subordinate to
the Minister of Finance, who opposed the
reduction of the rates of postage on the grounds
that it would curtail his revenue and reduce
his budget. He could not see the force of
Senator Ramseys arguments that it was to the
advantage of France as well as of the United
States that lower rates of postage should be
established. The Senator could not convince
him by pointing out the fact that we annually
import from Paris alone about forty million
| dollars worth Of goods, 'mostly jewelry, laces
and gewgaws that we can do without" and
that this trade, which is 30 important to
France, twill be sensibly diminished at the
expiration of our present postal treaty."
Moreover, the Minister of Finance insisted
upon certain concessions which would have
been so Instantaneous to the United States
that Senator Ramsey could not but refuse
them; and thus his mission, like the previous
similar mission of Mr.. Kasson, OF Iowa, has
failed If the United States Minister at Paris
we're to present the same arguments to the
Emperor which Senator Ramsey presented to
| the Minister Of Finance in favor of multiplying
| and extending the commercial relations of
France and the United States by means of o
mutually beneficial postal treaty with reduced
| rates, Napoleon would doubtless comprehend
| and appreciate them far better than his Minis
ter of Finance. A treaty satisfactory to both
nations might be speedily adopted, and in this
case, at least, Napoleon could show that ''per-
sonal government has some conveniences
which even s'irreconcilables" must admit

MORE Custom HOUSE FRAUDs.-The frauds
upon the Treasury, in the shape of drawbacks
in the Custom House, are reported at some
eight hundred thousand dollars, more or less
Now, in the weighers' department, it is alleged,
frauds to the extent of six hundred thousand
dollars have been brought to light. Many of
these frauds on the revenue, here and else
where lately discovered, are largely to be
charged to the loose administration of Andy
Johnson. When it is remembered, however,
that President Johnson had his hands full in
expounding and defending ''the constitution
Of our fathers" we cannot wonder that the
Treasury suffered on all sides and in every
department. But the business Of defalcations
and spoliations thus broadly inaugurated has
not yet been stopped. Frauds and embezzle-
ments are still going on, and thorough over
hauling, purgng and fumigation of the New
York Custom House is about the first thing
necessary in the work of clearing out the
rogues.

RECIPROCITY WITH FRANcE.--See the Presi-
dents proclamation on the subject elsewhere
in these columns. Napoleon having discon-
tinued entirely the discriminating duties here
tofore exacted upon goods taken into France
by United States vessels, the President returns
the compliment in reference to goods brought
by French vessels into the United States. The
reciprocity being authorized by Congress, Gen.
eral Grant, it may be said, in his proclamation
is only carrying out the law in this matter;
but still these acts of commercial reciprocity,
initiated by Napoleon, are very important as
indicating the 'bappy accord" re-cstabiished
between France and the United States.

WASHINGTON MARKET-NoT QUITE FIRE
ENoUGH.--West Washington Market has just
been partly burned out. This so-called market
is nest of sheds on the river side OF the
street on which Washington Market stands, and
is the headquarters Of the mddlemen, who buy
produce from the countrymen and sell 1t again
to city dealers. 1t is a sort OF accidental
growth that OWES Its origin to sort of squat
ter sovereignty on the part of the dealers. II
there is any regret in regard to the fire that
has visited it, it is that the whole place was not
swept away; for now il will be patched up
again, to remain disgrace and nuisance,
while it's complete destruction might have led
70 the building Of good msrkst there.

A LITTLE SCHOOL APPROPRIATION. There
is nothing in the character Of our municipal
authorities that more becomes them than their
ineradicable and extravagant love Of educa-
ton. They have just given away ten thou
sand dollars for the enlargement Of a school
under the direction of the Sisters Of Charity.
This money is no part Of the fund set aside
for the popular education, but is money
raised by taxes for quite another necessity; but
that is trifle that does not rest on the con-
sciences of the men who gave 1t. Neither
does the little fact that they had no moral or
other right to give it away at all for such pur-
pose.

The Spanish GunbOats.

1t is probable, though not certain, that the
fate of the. thirty Spanish gunboats built in
this country and at present under the sur
veillance of the United States agents will be
decided in short time. The Spanish Minis
ter having made demand on Secretary Fish
for their delivery in the name of Spain, the
American government will have to take some
decided action on the subject. The assurance
that these vessels will not be used against
Peru, it is said has been given by the repre-
sentative of Spain, and under such circum-
stances il is difficult to see how the United
States can hold them under the extra-judicial
proceeding which has been taken TO detain
them. If this will hasten the government to
take decided action in relation to Cuba we
shall feel pleased, and the American people
will rejoice in the action Of the Spanish Minis
Ter in thus bringing the matter to head. A
Spanish man-of-war arrived at this port on
Saturday. -Four or five more are expected
within short time. What is the meaning OF
all this showr 1t can hardly be that the
Spaniards imagine that this, to them, formida-
BILE demonstration will awe the government Of
the United States into acquescence with the
demands OF Spain. This cannot be. President
Grant has taken his time to consider about the
departure OF this mosquito aotilla, and no
amount Of show will change him from his pur-
pose. AT all events the demand of the Spanish
Minister will tend TO bring tho subject to Q
crisis-a contamination much desired by the
American people.

RETRENoHMENT IN THE WAR DEPART
MENT.-Yhe new Secretary of War, Mr..
Beknap, has met with some Instructions, 1t
seems, in his efforts to reduce the expenses of
the War Department. 1t is not unnatural that
the objections to retrenchment should come
from the subordnates. 1t is their interest, of
course, to get the most they can out of the Trea-
sury, whether they belong to the clerical force
or to the army. 1t is said that the Secretary is
determined to carry out his views of economy,
despite the remonstrance of his subordinates,
ton. We want rigid economy in all branches
Of the public service.

We are glad to perceive that our shipbuild-
ing trade is receiving some show of interest
from the government at last. For long time
past-in fact, since the ar-shipbuilding In
this country has gone to the dogs. In all our
shipyards to-day there is but one new vessel
on the stocks This is deplorable state of
things, considering the facilities which this
country enjoys to build hundreds of first class
vessels. The action taken by the Secretary of
State just now consists in his instructions to
our consuls abroad to collect and furnish the
Special Committee on Navigation all possible
information relative to shipbuilding in the
several countries to which they are accredited.
This is all very well. The information will no
doubt be thankfully received. But it seems to
US that it is not hints on the method of build
ing ships we require-for we can beat the
world at that-butit is some active interference
on the part of the government and Congress
whereby we can compete with other coun-
tries in building them cheaply. We know
well enough the reason why our shipbuild-
ing trade is reduced to cipher. What we
want now is to see Congress apply the remedy
by giving encouragement to home industry, and
that can best be done by reducing the tariff on
materials used in shipbullding so that our
mechanics can get fair show. This is tho
first practical step towards Improvement in
this matter.

and advantages In cable enterprises and
telegraphing. If foreigners be allowed
to land cables on our shores Amer-
cans should have the right to do the
same in foreign countries This should be
insisted upon, and we should demand of the
French government the same privilege that
has been extended to the Transatlantic Cable
Company Of France. In fact, the time has
come when the whole system of international
telegraph communication should be settled by
a general treaty among the nations on the
basis of making it free to all. The telegraph
ought to be under government control, just as
the Post Office is, and to be regulated both in
the several countries and between nations as
the mails are 1t is impossible that this mighty
agent of intercourse and of civilization should
long remain in the hands of private individuals
and irresponsible companies. The govern
ments of Europe have seen this and have
already taken the control. Shall we not fol-
low2 Shall We permit the vast interests and
business of the community, which depend in
great measure upon the telegraph, to remain
in the hands of a private and irresponsible
monopoly2 That is the question. We hope
Congress will soon settle it In the interests of
the public, either by buying up the present
lines, at q price not exceeding the fair cost
value, or establishing an Independent system of
its own.

American Idea Of a People. :

American Idea Of People.
For the first time we believe the logical con-
sequence of our peculiar American theories Of
government and nationality are to make their
appearance In case presented on points Of
international law. The question is, are the
Cubans people? Hitherto international law
has concerned itself for ages with questions Of
power derived from the standpoint of the gov
ernments-the would-be keepers, owners or
oppressors of the people. All the govern
ments sustained one another; none would
hear Of the existence Of nationality as sepa-
rated from the view of some government.
There were governments de factO and do jure,
and without these there was nothing. Now
the United States comes boldly out with the
declaration that it is at peace with certain
its law to make war on that people. How will
the court adjudge this matter on the definition
OF the word people? Will it sustain the old
traditionary International law necessities of
nationality, or will it accept the view on which
our government stands before the world, that
the people are everywhere and always the SOW
ereign power and that governments are only the
creatures of their properly expressed will?
Asserting this view the court may revolution
ize international law little, but not more
than such Power as the United States is
authorized to do. We have accepted as bind
ing on us in this class Of rules the traditions,
prejudices and peculiar views of all the peo-
pies that have fourished on the earth before
us, and 1t is time that international law felt
more amply the views the American people
take of nationalities.

A WALL STREET BARoMETRR-T gold
market is a sensitive barometer. Yesterday
on the announcement that the government had
determined to seize the Spanish gunboats the
price Of gold jumped to 1863. The prevailing
dulness in the Gold Room, however, and a
reaction from the first fears of the conse-
quences of such step on the part of the gov
ernment resulted in later decline to 1861.
