gratihed his best friends IL no had dis
played an equal amount Of independenoein in
the present instance. President Grants
performances need criticism = although
perhaps of another kind-just as
much as did those of johnson,
and the Press has hitherto displayed no hesi-
tation in speaking out boldly when there was
occasion for It, 1t will be real misfortune
both 10 the President aud TO the Republican
party il the fact that its editor is Collector Of
the port of Philadelphia should interfere
with its independent utterances in the future;
for the next two years are likely to be trying
ones for the Republican party, and plain
speaking on the part of the newspapers will
be more than ever needed.
Taking all the facts of the case into consi-
deration, this appointment cannot be consi-
dered other than as an insult to Mr.. Forney-
an insult that the President would have been
slow to offer if he had the slightest idea how
to manage men. It is as bad blunder as
any he has made in the distribution of offices
since he has been in the Executive chair; and
Mr.. Forney's acceptance, prompted doubtless
as it was by a sincere desire to aid the admin
istration in getting fairly upon its feet again
before the next Presidential campaign begins,
does him more credit than the appointment
does the President

GOVERNOR HOLDEN, OF Nerth Carolina, has
been convicted on eight articles of impeach-
ment, and an order has been passed remov-
ing him from Office. More than wo-thirds
Of the judges in this case were Conservative
Senators, but on several articles four or FIVE
Republicans voted with them, so that there
seems to be good reason for believing that
Holden was guilty of improper acts. Like q
number of other Southern Republicans, he
has brought disgrace and defeat upon the
Republican party by his personal misde-
meanors; and he has thus rendered greater
incidental serviceto the Southern Democracy
than q whole army of their rebel politicians.

SENATOR SUMNER has been invited to q
banquet by number of his personal and

the letter of invitation he has written that he
will be compelled to decline. The public will
thus lose an Grafton from Mr.. Sumner on the
question of his removal from the Foreign
Relations Committee of the Senate, as he
would undoubtedly have been expected to
speak upon this subject if the banquet had

VIcE-PREsDENT CoLFAx yesterday gave his
casting vote in the Senate in opposition to
consideration at the present session of the
question of repeating the income tax.
majority of both houses are unquestionably
in favor of doing away with this iniquitous
tax, and in half an hour the whole thing
could be disposed of. The assessors through
out the country have just commenced their
labors for the year, but not cent has yet
been paid, and it is not too late to put a stop
to the whole business. Mr.. Colfax, however,
has thrown himself into the breach, and
through his timely interference the Western
farmers have gained another victory. Mr..
Colfax, we believe, has announced his inten-
ton of retiring from public life at the end of
his term as ce-President, and he is there
fore at liberty to defy the people and ignore
their wishes.

M. Theirs win be vigorously sustained by the
provinces, and thus enabled to resist the
revolutionary madcaps Of Paris. The
animus Of the latter is indicated by the
complaint of their organ that rural influence
predominates in the French Chambers, and
by the earnestness with which it contends
that Paris must be the capital of France.
The best hope of Republicanism and of libe-
raj and constitutional government is based
on the complete triumph of M. Theirs in the
present controversy; and if, after achieving
such a victory, he acts wisely, honestly, and
patriotically, he will render inestimable service
to bis unhappy country.

THE TAX ON TEA AND COFFEE.

THE TAX ON TEA AND OOFFEE.
A REMoNsTRANoE from the American Free
trade League against the repeal of the duty
on tea and coffee was presented in both
branches of Congress yesterday. The foes of
American industry clearly display their disre-
gard of the interests of the masses in thus
opposing the abrogation of duties upon pro-
ducts which are not produced in this
country. The point aimed at
by the free-traders is to promote the industries
of rival nations by having the duties on iron
and cotton and woollen goods reduced, while
they wish to retain the duties on tea and
coffee, which are necessarily an inevitable tax
on the consumer. Even the old Democratic
party favored incidental protection, but the
free-trade modern Democracy are striving to
eliminate every semblance of protection from
the tariff, and to adjust the imposts in such
manner as will be at once most burdensome
to the workingmen and women of the land,
and render them the slightest possible amount
of incidental benefit.

AN APOLOGY TO MR.. HAGER.
Mr.. HAGER must go off the black list. He
yesterday made personal explanation in the
House of Representatives to the effect that
he had always been opposed to the commits
sion bills, and that he had been misrepre-
sented by The EVENING TELEGRAPH. OF
course, we believe Mr. Hager, and apologize
most sincerely for having placed him in a
false position, and for having done anything
to damage his future political prospects.
This is the third apology of this kind we have
been compelled to make, and if any of the
other members of the Committee on Munich
pal Corporations have been misrepresented
in our columns, we would be pleased to have
them speak at once, and all at once, SO that
we may save time, space, and printers ink
by making a single apology do for
the whole batch. The members of the
committee who did not sign Mr.. Johnston's
negative report, and who have not
explained their position with regard to
the commission bills, are Messrs. Parsons,
Duffy, Wiley, Lamon, Mooney, Meek, and
MCGOWAN. The matter is now getting mar
rowed down to fine point, and it seems
scarcely possible but that some of the above
named gentlemen did advocate the bills, and
did endeavor to have them reported favorably
to the House, so that simple maj ajority might
act upon them. The original constitution of
the committee was sixteen, and it was GER
tainly believed at Harrisburg that the majo-
rity of this number were in favor of the bills
1t was said that the committee stood ten in
favor and six against-for Speaker Webb
thought it necessary to add six new members
to the committee in order to secure mega
tive report Now, there were ten members
who did not sign Mr.. Johnston's mega
tive report, which was at least
a strong piece of circumstantial evidence
in favor of the correctness of
the rumor which prevailed previous to the
enlargement of the committee. Three of these
ten have denied that they were in favor of
the bills, which would have made the original
committee stand nine opposed and seven in
favor of the bills. If this was the actual
situation, why was it necessary for Speaker
Webb to add six new members to the COM
mittee in order to obtain negative report?
Will any member of the House or of the
Committee on Municipal Corporations oblige
the citizens of Philadelphia by making an ex-
PLANTATION, personal or otherwise, upon this
knotty point
