Seward ON Manifest Destiny.

The distinguished Sage of Auburn on Mon
day made the first speech since his return
from his Arctic and tropical tour that may be
construed in any way to reflect the views he
now entertains on the possibilities of the nation
he was SO long and so ably engaged in engi-
neering through Its greatest crisis. He espe-
cially dwelt upon the mission Of the United
States to harmonize all the civilizations on this
Continent and to advance steadily to higher
notions, carrying our neighbors with US, of the
social and political rights of man. 1t may be
q feather in the cap of the woman suffrage
advocates to know that this speech was
delivered on the occasion of the visit Of a
ladies' college; but, owing to the barbarous
and medieval notions that prevail in our pro-
vinces, these same ladies were all turned out
of the dining hall when the cloth was removed
and, therefore, before the speech was made.
A number of male visitors, by reason Of being
physically better fitted to drink wine and
smoke, alone composed the audience to whom
he addressed his words. D
Mr.. Seward has always had great, broad
ideas Of the future of the nation, and we are
glad to see that his sixty-ninth birthday finds
him fully as broad and grand in his ideas as
ever. He says that the Continent is becoming
every day more American ; that the practices
and opinions of the people Of the United States
are becoming the common practices and opin-
ions of tho other States, and that the Christian
religion and the influence of republican
government are destined ere long to blend all
the governments Of the American Continent
into one. Mr.. Seward is the very best author
ity from whom these sentiments could ema-

A HINT FROM FRANCE TO GREEoE.-A
cable telegram informs us that the French
government has notified the government of
King George of Greece that If Greek brigands
lay hands on Frenchmen Greece shall pay the
ransom. This is good hint to England. It
ia a still more emphatic hint to Greece. This
unhappy affair of the murder Of English travel
lers has aroused Europe from one end to the
other and has called forth all kinds of COM
ment from the press. The feeling, almost uni
versal, seems to be that the Greek kingdom is
a failure-as much failure under George of
Denmark as 1t was under Otho Of Bavaria.
This hint Of France may yet beget big
results. 1t will give life to the tory party in

SoHRNcK AND DAWES, it is said, had hard
words about the Tariff bill, and a rumor
actually prevailed in Washington that hos
tile meeting was arranged between them. We
always thought it was rather q ferocious sub
iect, and we felt afraid all through the dis
cussion upon it that such quick, fiery spirits
as Schenck and Dawes, and Butler and Cox,
would let their angry passions rise and that
a scene of fearful bloodshed would ensue. As
1t is, fortunately Mr.. Schenck has been called
away to Ohio, and the heat of passion may
subside on both sides before he returns.

Rather Rough ON the Theatres.

Mr.. Schenck, in his ambition to reduce the
internal tax some thirty Millions mere drop
in the bucket, by the way-seems inclined to
accomplish that purpose on the principle Of
s'robbing Peter to pay Paul" He allows pub
lie, readings-like those Of Charles Dickens,
for example-to 60 scot free, while Dickens
pockets a hundred thousand or so, leaves our
shores and snaps his fingers at our country,
without leaving dollar as tax in the gov
ernment Treasury. On the other hand, the
Revenue bill just introduced piles on the tax
on regular places Of public amusement q
hundred per cent above what it was before.
In other words, the license tax on first cla ss
lars. It is proposed now to make it two
hundred. The present tax on gross receipts
has heretofore been two per cent 1t is now
proposed to raise 1t to three per cent. Now,
it may be all very well to tax amusements as
luxury, which some people think may bs
done away with altogether; but we question
the propriety of augmenting the tax to such
degree as to prohibit first class
public entertainments entirely. It is like
killing the goose that lays the golden egg.
A tax on gross receipts when the manager
may not have realized dollar upon per-
formance-and the higher the class of enter
tainment the more expense is there attending
its production-seems unjust and unwise. 1t
were better to tax the net income above ex-
penses threefold than to tax gross receipts
from which the manager does not realize a
dime. Even the present rate Of taxation on
theatres encourages the production of sensa-
tional and immoral pieces, calculated to de-
moralize the old and pollute the young. But
the managers have to resort to this mode Of
attracting audiences in order that their re-
ceipts may 80 far overcome their expenses
that they may be able to pay the government
tax without encroaching upon the returns for
their actual outlay. There are many sensa-
tional performances in lecture rooms that
should be held liable to government taxation
as well as theatres, and Congress would be
doing good thing if it should impose tax
upon these lecturing harlequins and travelling
knights of gabble, and ease up little on the
now overtaxed first class places of public
amusement

Tho Rss.Is .f e.. mscsl.. Yesterday.

Tho Result sf slss HaectIs~ Yesterday.
Without much excitement, noise or confif.
sion, the election Of yesterday resulted, as
every one supposed 1t would, in the success Of
the Tammany democratic ticket. Indeed.
there was so much tranquility prevailing
even about the voting places, that few would
imagine that an election was going on at all.
The fact is that nearly all interest In the
matter ceased when the Tammany leaders
flung out their standard, emblazoned with the
names Of the men who were pretty certain to.
be elected, and when the young democracy
and the terrible coalition Of those whose tents
are cast outside the big Wigwam lowered
their lances, put their jackknives into the
scabbards and bowed their unscalped headsia
submission to the great power which seemsto
rule the city. The excitement, therefore, was
very small indeed, because . race with one
horse running over the course or one yacht
tracking the sea without a competitor is q very
fiat thing. In the State, outside the limits Of
Spuyten Duyvil, the judiciary ticket for new
Judges Of the Court Of Appeals, which were to
be voted for under the judiciary article Of tho
proposed new constitution, contained 80 many
excellent names that there could not be much
mistake in voting for any Of them.
Bat the election had It's funny side, and,
strange to say, that was the dark side. The
enfranchised negroes came to the polls
timidly-shall we say blushingly 2-and In
many cases cast their votes for the
democratic candidates; but unfortunately for
unsophisticated Sambo, he sometimes voted
too often; he became, in fact, an unconscious
repeater, and in some cases was grabbed up,
taken to the station house and locked
up in default of bail. Among the very
funny incidents which occurred in connection
with the unhappy locked-up voters was the
appearance of the wife of one of them, who
presented her marriage certificate, duly
authenticated in ''old Virginia, as bail bond,
upon which she demanded the release Of her
liege lord; but, to her bitter disappointment,
she found that 1t had no legal effect, and pro-
badly thereupon did not realize the value Of
the fifteenth amendment
Upon the whole the first spring election under
the new Charter passed off very quietly, and
probably to the general satisfaction of the city
and the State. The democracy, purified, as it
is assumed to be, having now been fairly
installed in power, the people whose interest
lies in the reduction Of taxes, the protection
of life and property and good government
generally for this metropolis, will naturally
hold that party responsible for the future
results of vesterday's work and the Charter
under which that work was done.

Mexican IngratitWde-Whnt Shall We Da
with McxlrOP

Mexican OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Shall We Do
with Mcxlcos
II is reported that the joint select Committee
of Congress on Retrenchmeut have discovered
extensive smuggling frauds on the part Of the
President of Mexico and others along the border
of this country; that these frauds were carried
on at the very time our government and people
were driving the foreign invader from Mexican
soil, and that they are still continued to great
extent. 1t is said that evidence has been pro-
duced to show regular organized system of
smuggling and other unfriendiy acts to the
United States 1t goes to show, in fact, that
while we were saving Mexico from French
domination and European imperialism, Presi-
dent Juarez and his friends in high official po-
sition were smuggling cotton into Mexico and
trading for 1t by supplying the Confederates
with arms and munitions of war. This is a
serious charge, and for the credit of Mexico
we should be glad to know that it is not as bad
as it appears. Still the evidence seems to be
direct, and from our long experience we know
how capable the Mexicans are Of such
treachery and ingratitude. We have made
great mistake in our policy toward Mexico.
We have had several opportunities of annex
ing the territory Of that country, of placing the
population under strong law and of extending
our republican civilization over them. We ought
to have done 50, and thus have ended the con-
tinuual anarchy that has and will exist there
and have made that rich country blessing to
the world and to the people themselves.
Mexico is the sick man of this hemisphere, and
there is no way of curing him but by extend
ing the power Of the United States over the
country. Kindness is lost upon such people,
and policy looking to uphold their separate
existence as nation is weak and useless. The
time is now at hand when our government will
be required to act In the matter of Mexico, and
we advise the administration and Congress to
be preparing for that event.

Senator Revels, whose complexion is, as it
were, mortgaged by that party, narrowly
escaped being closed up. In the debate in,

amendment Mr.. Ferry vcntured to suggest
amnesty, whereupon Mr.. Morton wanted
Immediately to read him out. An argument

TNKERING THE INCOME TAx.-Notwithstand
ing the odious income tax is virtually dead
letter, and the constitutionality Of its revival
matter of serious question, the redoubtable
General Schenck, Of Ohio, has reincorporated
in bill just introduced in Congress to s're-
duce" taxation provision to retain the five
per cent income feature, and oblgingly add
ing the paltry sum Of five hundred dollars in
addition to the thousand heretofore exempt in
order to make the whole abominable measure
a little more palatable to our overburdened
taxpayers. There is no use tinkering this in
come tax. 1t cannot be made palatable to the
American people in any shape. The only dis
position that should be made Of it is to let 1t lie
forever in the grave in which it Is now buried I;
and General Schenck will be doing simple
act Of public justice by wiping out even the
memory of the hateful imposition.

An AMERICAN SAINT IN PROsPECT.-A
cable despatch from Rome has it that it is in
contemplation to canonize Christopher Colum-
bus. We can have no objection to the discov-
erer Of America being raised to sanity dignity.
Whether it win give safety to his bones or
peace to his spirit we have no means Of know
ing. We don't know that America as yet has
any representative saint. France has her ST.
Louis, England her st. George, Spain her St.
James, and so on all round. Why should not
we, like the others, have our patron saint? If
we can't have st. Washington, or st. Jackson,
or st. Lincoln, there is no good reason why
we should not have st. Columbus. Better a
good saint than bad one or none.

TIE REV. DIR. W. W. LORD.-This distin-
gulshed divine, who has been rector of ST. Pauls
Church, RadcliGeboro since the war, has recently
resigned his charge in this city, and will return
to his former field at vicksburg, Miss. The con.
cregation have rendered call to the Rev. c. P.
Gadsden, of St. Luke's; but this has been de-
clined by that minister and 1t is understood that
the Rev. James NJ. Miles will fill the pulpit for the
present. DR.. Lord has for nearly Ave years been
a faithful guide and monitor to the congregation
Of St. Paul's, and his ministratons have endcared

circle who knew his worth as pastor and friend.
He takes with him the heartfelt wishes OF all who
have known him in this city for his future welfare
in his former home, and his memory will be cher
ished by the church that he aided so earnestly In
