which had possession therein during the
early DAYS of his official life rs President;
that he soon discovered his mistake, and con-
templated the appointment instead of Mr..
John JAY, now Minister in Vienna; and that
it was this last proposition which aroused the
forces of Mr.. Sumner to secure Motley, not
because he especially vindicated the fitness of
the latter, but preferred him to Mr.. Jay.
Then, too, in regard to the Sumner speech
upon the Johnson-Clarendon treaty in the
Senate, the public was told at the time that
Grant boasted he had read the publication
three times, and agreed herewith entirely.
Is this SO? There are many other points Of
this unfortunate controversy which, if it is
to be exposed OF all, the public will be desirous
to know all about, but which we have not
time to particularize at this moment. OF one
item, however, everybody will wish to be in
formed; which is, at what period and on what
point did the differences between Grant and
Motley, on the one hand, and Grant and
Sumner, on the other hand, begin; and why
was Motley removed at the time he was,
rather than at another time?

A CRY OF THE INCURABLES.

F,orn the n. T. Tribune.
Few of our public or State charities are
more neglected than the asylums for the
insane. They are inadequate in number and
size, and painfully defective in their organi-
zation. The latest reports show that they
are frightfully overcrowded, the New York
City Asylum, for instance, having more than
1900 patients, though originally built to &C
commodate but GOO. There are only seven
of these institutions in the State, of which
the one here is the largest, and these are ex-
pected to care for over 5000 patients,
AS now organized, the State asylums are
merely hospitals for the cure of the insane.
We have in the whole State not single
home for the numerous incurables. After
six months, when the insane patients are pro-
nounced incurable, they are by law, expelled
from the asylums, as no longer having the
legal qualifications for residence. They are
returned to their friends, if they happen to
have any, or to the counties whence they
came, if they are doubly unfortunate in
being pauper patients. What happens to
them in this event is too horrible to imagine.
The great majority are prematurely buried
in the ''insane departments" of the county
warehouses;. Here, in damp, dark, unfur-
nshed cells, which are seldom cleansed
without beds, or even straw, to lie upon, the
unfortunates are abandoned to die without
medical attendance, and little care of any
kind. In every county work-house in this
great and wealthy State, from ten to one
hundred and fifty incurables are thus left to
perish miserably within the shadow of
wealthy churches and the hearing of Chris
tian voices.
The Legislature last winter made an appro-
priation to aid in the building of an addi-
tional institution at Middletown, which should
be at once hospital for the cure of the tenn
porariy insane and home for incurables.
The charter was granted to an association of
Homeopathic physicians, and the design is
that all patients received shall be sub ject to
that treatment. If successful in their Oh ject,
these gentlemen will have built and organ
lied the only Homeopathic Asylum for the
Insane known to exist in the world

THE MOTLEY SCANDAL.
Prom the n. Y. World,

From the n. \. World.
Mr. Morton, who is now the administration
henchman in foreign affairs, has introduced
into the Senate resolution intended to un-
fold to public gaze the dirty linen of the Mot
ley affair 1t will be observed that it was a
partisan of the President-one supposed to
get inspiration in such matters directly from
the White Housewife initiated the exposure
of this personal muss in the Republican ranks
to the gaze of Great Britain and the Cont
nent of Europe. Much as a truthful inner
history will, we doubt not, tend to the fur
ther Just disgrace of the administration, we
would have preferred that the whole corre-
spondenceremain among the buried and secret
archives of this Government. Exposure may,
and doubtless will, injure both Grant and
Motley npublic estimation; but by sort of
reflex action, it will at the same time tend to
harm the good name of the republic. Now,
however, that the administration deemed it
necessary or prudent for its own interests to
make portion, at least, of the scandal pub
lie, we are glad that Mr. Sumner endeavored
to put probe to the core of the sore, and
thereby bring out even the bottom ferment
of the putrid matter. This journal on the
announcement of MIR. Motley appointment,
characterized it az it deserved, and since then
ii has not failed on proper occasions to re peat
and to enforce our estimation of Mr. Motley s
fitness. If Grant had himself been suitable
either for nomination or election to be Presi-
dent, he would by personal observation or
inquiry at first discovered that of which only
few months ago he gave public evil
dence he had learned. II is the general i'm
preston that Mr.. Sumner initiated and first
presented to Grants mind the project of
making Mr.. Motley Minister to England. We
are curious to know if that be really so, and
we hope the ceming correspondence, or the
debate thereon, viii uncover the fact There
are those who insist that the appointment
of Motley was a scheme born in Grant.

THE MONOPOLY QUESTION.

FTtnG The Ch1cGgo Post.
The question of monopoly, as presented by
the operations of warehouse, railway, and
transportation companies, is one of the most
important which will come before the Gene
raj Assembly of Illinois, now in session. 1t
is one in regard to which there are acknew-
lodged difficulties, both theoretical and prac-
tical. No subject is SO lengthily discussed
by Governor Palmer in his message, aud
there is evidently none to which he has de-
voted more careful study or more profound
reflection. The settlement of the question
involves considerations of national law 1t
invokes principles lying at the very founda-
tion of our political system. Ittouches upon
the principles of those great questions which
brought war and all its woes upon this coun-
try, and which are yet settled more by virtue
OF force than willing agreement.
Nor are the practical difficulties less appa-
rent than those which go to the reason of the
issue. The immense operations of railway
companies, their vast moneyed power, their
transactions extending through different
States have brought forth new material, new
commercial questions, which came directly
home to all the people every day. And these
new facts make absolutely necessary either
the establishment of new legal principles and
jurisdiction, or the extension of the applca-
tion of old principles and jurisdiction to such
a degree as fairly to amount to a new system.
The plan recommended by the Governor
of Illinois for the settlement of this whole
question of railway warehouse monopoly is
the creation of Board of Commissioners
with full powers in the premises. This plan
has been suggested by eminent statesmen
who have given the subject their attention,
and it is entitled to fair consideration, and
perhaps actual trial. This is certain:-That
the General Assembly should leave no rea-
sonable remedy against the monstrous evils
by which the people are afflicted untried.
That board of commissioners, with ample
powers to try and settle all questions of the
kind, if composed of thoroughly intelligent
men of unquestionable integrity, would ac-
complish great good, perhaps succeed in cur
ing the evils entirely, we may well believe.
The proposed plan should receive the most
careful consideration from the Legislature,
and whether it be adopted or not, something
eficacious should be done. Otherwise, ii
will not be many years till the people, en-
mGSSe, will practically take hold of the ques-
tion and settle it by the utter overthrow OF
every monopoly of the sort under notice.

REPUBLICAN REORGANIZATION.

FTSng the N. Y. Times.
There are several very satisfactory state
ments in Mr.. Greeley's address on the occa-
sion of his accepting the craftsmanship of the
Republican General Committee. He said
for instance:-'I cannot afford to be identi-
fed with faction: if 1 act at all it must be
in the in terest and with the approval of the
entire party" This decision would lead us
to suppose that Mr. Greeley will not go on
long without finding many things to object
to in the course of men like Manierre, Smith,
and Andrews, who are receiving the DEVILS
pay, and consequently, it is to be presumed,
are doing the DEVILS work. That sort of hire
is seldom given without due service for it
being performed. Again, Mr.. Greeley gave
the following pledge: :-"Let me here say
frankly that 1. for one, shall in no case dis
pute the authority nor defy the mandates OF
the State Committee, even though it should
direct that this committee be disbanded or
superseded" An assurance of this kind is
only what we have a right to expect from one
whose devotion to the Republican party
ought not to be questioned, although the
wisdom Of his Judgment may be fairly open

to suspicion, like that of every other public

to suspicion, like that of every other public
man.
The main point to be decided is whether,
under present circumstances, men who are in
the pay of Tammany are fit to take a lea ling
and responsible part in directing the counses
of the Republican party. There was time,
no doubt, when the question was of less ina
poltance than it is now. But Tammany, as
we krow it to-day, has forfeited all claim to
be treated as a political organization, in the
ordinary Interpretation of those words.
1t is simply vehicle for oblite-
rating truly popular government, and
enlarging the fortunes Of half q dozen
men, 1t is identified with fraudulent gov
ernment, a corrupt judiciary, and dishonest
application of the public money. No one
can doubt these facts They have been ad-
mitted freely in Democratic journals, and
time aggravates the evils rather than cures
them. With Tammany, therefore, no true
Republican can possibly have anything in
common. If Republican enters its service,
it is because he has been unable to withstand
the corrupt influences which an unlimited use
of money has placed at the service of Sweeny
and bis friends The harder a man works
for Tammany, the further does he place him
self outside his own party.

SPANISH INFLUENCE AT TwAsH1NGToN

SPANISH INFLUENCE AT TWASHINGT0N.
From the NJ Y. Sun.
The two letters of Secretary Cox which
were put in evidence in the late trial of the
case of the steamer Florida, seized for an
alleged violation of the neutrality laws, are
remarkable as showing the glaring contradic-
tion between the professions of the admiuis-.
tration and its actions towards the Cuban
patriots. Mr.. Cox says explicitly to General
Darr, the owner of the Florida, that the
Government cannot legally and will not stop
the shipment from this port, as merchandise,
of articles contraband of war, and that it is
only against the fitting out of naval or mill
tary expeditions that the neutrality laws ope-
rate. This is undoubtedly the true doctrine,
and it has constantly been acted upon in this
port by Spain itself, and by the agents of
France. 1t matters not what the nature of
merchandise may be-whether it be provi-
sions, or guns, or gunpowder or clothing,
or any other articles useful for military pur-
poses-so long as it is nothing but merchan-
disc, neutrals may lawfully ship it to any bel
igerent they please, taking, of course, their
own risk of its safe delivery to the pur-
chasers.
But this being SO, how does it happen that
every time the Cubans here attempt to send
arms and ammunition to their friends in
Cuba our Government officiously steps in
and seizes their vessel? Here is the Florida,
detained in this port for months merely be-
cause she was loaded with articles calculated
to be of service to the Cuban army. She was
not even going to Cuba, but to Vera Cruz,
a port in Mexico; and her detention was ut
terly unjustiiable. There is not particle of
evidence that she was to carry men, or
to undertake any naval operations against
Spain. The only possible explanation of
this exhibition of superserviceable zeal is
to be found in the fact that Mr.. Sidney
Webster-a member of the law firm of Web
ster Craig, which has been hired to do the
dirty work in this country of Spanish despot-
ism-is the son-in-law of the Secretary of
State, and abuses his relationship to manipu-
late the machinery of the Government to his
own benefit. Then there is the bribe-taker
Bancroft Davis also in the State Department,
who has been in the scheme with Webster to
procure the purchase by the United States Of
Cuba from Spain, that they may share in the
fat commissions which are 10 be made by the
transaction. These are the reasons why
Cuba is so unjustly treated by the admins
tration, and why her agents and friends are
prosecuted with such unremitting malignity.
