TIE CONFIDENCE AGENT

Mr.. Ruiz is gentleman of good sense and
penetration. When Jeremy Diddler offered
for consideration to buy the influence of
leading members of the press in behalf of the
Cubans, Mr.. Ruiz is said to have replied that
he did not believe he could do it, and it ought
not to be done if he could. Mr.. Ruiz was
right in both his conclusions. Washington is
full of mysterious persons who profess to have
half the newspapers of the country under
their thumbs. They know how to "see"
correspondents. They are in the secrets
of editorial councils. A word from
them, whispered in the ear of Wash
ingtOn letter writer, or flashed over the
wires to some dingy sanctum in New-YOrk,
is potent to settle the fate of anybody, from
an emperor to a postmaster. If Cuba clamors
for recognition, the leading patriots receive
hint that bushel or so of bonds, placed in
the hands of one of these mysterious Agents,
will buy up the principal newspapers, or pos
sbly even purchase few stray Senators. If
Alaska is for sale, the Russian Minister is as
sured that few thousands invested in the
same quarter will settle the whole business.
San Domingo wants to be bought well, the
Confidence Agent will settle that too. John
Jones aspired to be Consul at BorrioboOla
Cha let him see the Confidence Agent, and
he is safe. The Agent himself is man
whose whole life is a problem. To-day he
humbly borrows the price of glass of whisky !;
his hat is long past its prime, and the glories
of his linen have departed. Tomorrow he
lodges proudly at Wizards, and gives an I'M
! objectionable little dinner at Wecker's, where
he has more Carte Blanche and Clos VOugeOt
| than is good for him. He haunts the ante
rooms of the State Department, and pretends
to have confidential interviews with the Secre-
tary. He lounges at the White House, but has
never been known to obtain speech with the
President. In the lObbies of the Capitol he
bores Senators and Members, who wonder
at his impudence, but don't feel quite
| safe to offend him. He makes pre-
texts to be seen entering committee
rooms, He cultivates the acquaintance of I'M
suspecting clerks. Once in while he per-
suades an attache of some small foreign lega-
ton to eat his dinners; and it has even been
rumored at times that he is q secret diplomatic
agent of the insurrectionary government OF
Mantchooria, or q spy of the Grand Turk. He
will scheme for week to get an envelope

How far reaching and judicious in the main
are the reductions in duty wrought by the new
Tariff bill which has lately passed the House.
our readers may this morning better see for
themselves from the tabular comparison
which we make in other columns of the
duties as they are now with the duties
as proposed in the new bill. OppO-
sition journals have been clamorously assert
ing that the reductions are all on unimportant
articles, while the really important ones are in
| several cases increased. The figures given for
the quantity of imports under each item
and the value of the same, effectually
dispel this last resort of these Free-Traders
in disguise. 1t will be seen that the reductions
are many, various, and on articles largely con-
sumed. In particular, those on tea, coffee, and
other articles of domestic consumption
not produced at home, seem to us en-
inently judicious. We cannot say so much
for the reduction on pig iron. We believe
that the best interests of the country, and
especially of those numerous and widely-sep-
arated regions in which iron mines are now
in course of development, will be seriously
damaged by change which subserves no
good purpose save to afford a mild sop
to the grumblers. There is so much, however,
that is good, and so small proportion of evil
in the Tariff bill, that we acQuiesce in what
we cannot wholly approve, commend the bill
to popular favor, and appeal to the Senate for
its speedy passage.

Brown was overtaken by number OF mis-
fortunes, yesterday, during the session OF the
Board of Health. First the Board declined to
pass the ordinance compelling citizens to put
out ashes and garbage in separate boxes. Next
a communication was read from the Citizens
Association, setting forth the filthy condition
of many of the streets, and DR.. Carnochan Of
fered a resolution providing for remedy.
By this time the Board had become so inter-
ested in Browns derelictions that a special
meeting was called for Monday next to con-
slider them all of which is very singular, when
taken in connection with Browns assertions
that he has always cleaned the streets accord
ing to contract, and the fact that he has regu-
larry received his pay from the Commissioners.
One circumstance, however, gave him short
respite. The reports of the Police Captains,
showing his omissions during the past week,
which should have been read in the open ses-
sion of the Board, were carefully withheld by
the Tammany eet-Cleaning Inspector. 1t is
plain Brown is to triumph in the end. He is
to get his money, the Board of Health is to
clean the streets, and the city is to be mulcted
out of indefinite sums-an arrangement that is
undoubtedly entirely satisfactory to the Street
Cleaning Ring, but which should be somewhat
Objectionable to the taxpayers, for whom Tam
many processes such tender regard.

The Italian Government wishes 1t believed
that Mazzini and other Italian Republicans are
implicated in the revolutionary movements
which it reports are now making in the King
dom. 1t would be singular if Mazzini held
aloof when revolutions were afoot to abolish
great abuses, but we do not believe that the
Italian patriots are entirely without method In
their movements and the late uprisings there
have certainly been as much without method
as the Fenian raids into Canada. We have
accounts of the terror of the English over the
foolish freaks of the Fenians, and their fright
is explained by the idea that, recollecting the
provocation they have given, for any acts
which Fenians may accomplish, they now fear
each raid an invasion. The same reasoning
will explain the conduct of the Italian authori-
ties in exaggerating and giving political
meaning to the late disturbances in their
provinces.
