TIE NEW TARIFF ELL.

A change in the rates of Duties on Imports
Is an evil per Sc. 1t involves new disputes as
to the meaning of this or that clause, new ap-
peals to the Secretary of the Treasury, new
evasions, new lawsuits. Our judgment ad-
heres to the position of the President and his
Secretary of the Treasury, that it is our true
policy to let the Tariff alone until we shall
have funded our Debt at a lower rate of in
terest. and thon adapt our rates
to the demands at once Of the
National Industry and the National RESPONSE
bilit;es. 1t is well to reduce the duties on Tea,
Coffee, Cocoa, &c, if the Revenue will still
suffice; it is not we'll to do it if we thereby
render it impossible to continue the monthly
reduction of our National Debt. And we should
prefer not to reduce at all till VIC can reduce
considerably There is force in the objection
that reduction Of one cent per pound on
Coffee and Sugar will mainly inure to the
benefit of importers and heavy dealers-that
very little of it will be passed over to the con-
sumer. Hence, we are in no hurry to enter
upon a revision of the Tariff
The bill reported yesterday by Gen. Schenck
from the House Committee of Ways and Means
looks to readjustment and moderate reduc-
ton of duties without sacrifice of Protection.
1t leaves the duties ON Salt, Wool. Bituminous
Coal, Railroad Iron, Hides, and many other
important articles. unchanged. 1t reduces that
ON Pig Iron from 50 to 81 per tun, but in
creases those on many descriptions of Steel
and refined or manufactured Iron. On WOolen
and Cotton fabrics. we believe there is gen
eral reduction, though not large one. On
Lumber, there Is considerable reduction ;
also on Coenac Brandy, Drugs, and We
think on most Wines. Many duties which have

We are likely TO see more vivacity in the
military operations of the Cubans now that
Gen. Jordan has been placed at the head OF
the Revolutionary forces in place OF Gen.
Ouesada who has not shown himself to be q
very enterprisiDg leader. Gen. Jordan was
born in Virginia, and was graduated at West
Point. He served for nearly twenty years IN
our regular army; was an officer of the South
ern Confederacy throughout the war, serving
on the staff of Beauregard in Virginia and
Tennessee, taking part in the defense OF
Charleston against Gilmore, and doing much
other active work. After the close OF the war
he became editor of a Memphis paper, which
he left in less than year and came to this
city, where he INDUCED for time in literary
pursuits, furnishing articles to the magazines
and newspapers, writing work on the cam
paign of the Rebel cavalry leader Gen. For
rest, and making translations of novels from
the French. Immediately after the outbreak OF
the Cuban insurrectiOn he offered his services
to President Cespedes, who appointed nm 10
the work of organizing the Cuban army In Its
different arms. He performed this duty skill
fully, and now, after various changes, and after
defeating the Spanish expedition under Pueblo,
he has been appointed Commander-ln-C Chief OIL
the Cuban troops. He is o man of strong IN
tellect and will and of real military ability.
He will make the most of his material and OPP
portunites, and the Spaniards will find him
very different man from Quesada.

1t appears that the overpowering African

Salisbury, who lives in daily fear that the
world will discover his inferiority to the ordi-
nary negro This terrible catastrophe seems so
imminent that he has invoked the strong arm
Of the Government in his behalf, and yester-
day presented to the Senate memorial pray
ing for such legislation as will secure the Gov
ernment of the United States to the White
race. We beg that Congress will not abandon
Mr.. Salisbury in his sore distress. Let it be
Immediately enacted rs general truth that
the White man is superior to the negro. Some
thing must evidently be done, and quickly, or
the rod of empire will pass away from
Salisbury and his race forever. Let Congress
at least support Salisbury, while he explains
how the endangered White race is TO be saved
from being extingushed by the moral and in
tellectual prowess of its late chattels.

SO much has been said in dispraise of the
Constitutional Convention of Tennessee, and in
doleful anticipation of its dislOyal and anti
negro acts, that wo deem the fact worthy OF
emphasis that it has refused, by the strong
majority of SO to 90, even to submit the ques-
tion of Negro Suffrage to popular vote. That
Convention is largely composed of ex-Rebels; ;
yet it seems to embody but twenty natural
fools-which is small proportion. The vital
truth is that the great body tof the Southern
people Of all classes and colors are intent on
peace, order and prosperity. There is rem
nant in whom tho old venom is still potent and
active; but they are powerless minority !;
and should be kept so by wise and generous
statesmanship-as we trust they will be.

THE IYDoEUROPEAN TELEGRAPH.

Several of our cotemporaries fell into mistake
Yesterday in regard to the two London as
patches, announcing (1) the arrival OF the cable
ship Great Eastern at Bombay (2) the estab-
lishment of telegraphic communication between
England and Bombay. The two events had,
in fact, nothing whatever to do with each other,
though it is true that the mission OF the
Great Eastern to Bombay is for the pur-
pose of establishing new line Oh teie-
graphic communication between Europe and
the East Indies AS we have explained
before, Bombay is the point from which the
cabe-ship will take her departure with line
which she has carried out from England, and
which she will lay down at the bottom OF the
Arabian Sea and the Red Sea. This cable Will
terminate at Suez, whence connections Will
be made with lines running to the countries
of Yves tern Europe. But the work OF laying
this cable has not yet been begun (unless IL
were begun yesterday, and it Is not by THIS
route that telegraphic communication has been
established between London and Bombay.
Any error on this subject would have been
avoided by a careful reading of the two Lon
don dispatches which appeared yesterday. liiis
would have shown that the Anglo-lndian line
which was announced to be in working order
was the overland telegraph. This line, which,
starting from Bombay. runs to near the head
waters of the Gulf Of Persia by aerial and SUD-
marine wires, and passes to Europe by way OF
Turkey, has lately been interrupted by the
Arabs The dispatch of yesterday doubtless
refers to the fact that the working of this line
has been secured, and that stop has been put
to the Arab interruptions by the Turkish Gov
ernment. 1t is line which has been in exist
ence for years, and which will still be service
able, notwithstanding the fact that new Sub
marine Cable is to be laid between Bombay and
Suez. In fact, active movements have lately been
in progress and are still in progress, for extend
ing the usefulness and availability of the so
called "Overlandn telegraph from Bombay.
There are two lines, one submarine and the other
aerial, from Bombay to Jask, on the Gulf OF
Oman aud we learn, by our latest advices
from India, of the laying of second cable
from Jask to Busheer, on the Persian Gulf.
These, with the land line through Turkey and
the other land line through Persia and Russia,
constitute duplicate chain of telegraphic
communication between Europe and the East
Indies. The cable which the Great Eastern Is
about to lay from Bombay to Suez Will form
the third line.

1t is rather surprising to find that the State
of Missouri has no law Obliging the father Of
an illegitimate child to support it; and it is
still more surprising, when it is proposed to
pass such law. to find members of the Legis-
lature opposing its enactment. Last week
there was what is called "a rich and racy dis

in Committee Of the Whole, had recommended
the indefinite postponement of the whole sub

The representations of the new Haytan
Minister or other agents of President Sagets
wild republic, will confirm, we dare say, all
that has been reported in these columns OF
the bitter antipathy of the Haytans to annex
alton, whether attempted by way of the Mole
Nicolas or Samana Bay. Indeed Mr.. Arthur
Folsom, who has gone to Washington to pre-
sent the compliments of Mr.. Saget, appears to
think that our Dominican bargain is an un-
safe one We hope that our Haytan friends
will be permitted to cool the lava-heat of rev.

A strong example of the tyranny which work
ingmen sometimes exercise over their assOci.
ates occurred recently at Worcester, Mass
A boot bOttomer came to the city from
a neighboring town for lot of stock to make
up. Not being "a Crispin," the brethren Of
that order gathered about his cart. and when
he drove off followed him for a mile, finally
stopped HIM, took possession of his vehicle,
and threw out the stock. The police came up.
and, after rescuing the unfortunate boot-b
toner, succeeded in capturing and locking up
six of the assailing party. Men who suppose that
such violent proceedings as these can be Of hs
least advantage to the interests OF labor mass
be both ignorant and stupid.

We have rather an encouraging verdict in
Illinois. In December, 1867, in depot of the
Illinois Central Railroad locomotive boiler
exploded, and greatly battered Ezekiel B. Phil
lips, who at once brought an action for damages,
and recovered $1,000. The corporation defend.
ant, not satisfied with this, took the case up,
and, for some legal reason, the Supreme Court
ordered new trial. which has resulted in
second verdict for the defendant, with damages
assessed by the jury at $4,000. Another ap.
peal and another new trial might give lin
$4,000. The corporation pleaded substantially
that boilers will sometimes explode, in spite Of
the most extraordinary pains to prevent the
catastrophe-which we do MT believe to be true

Reports of the debate in the Corps Legislatif

impression that the Olivier administration

victory until he had made himself a victim,
more or less, in skirmishes with NM. Rochefort
