spoke as follows
GenNcmeH OF the Committee:
On the morning after our late disastrous Flee
ton, ] remarked that there were Republicans
enough IN our State for one triumphant party,
but not for two. The conviction thus ex-
pressed has brought me TO this meeting, and
induced me to accept tie position to which
You have elected me.
] am here in the confident trust that The
feuds which have So long distracted and weak
ened the Republicans OF ills City may be
stopped, and all our citizens who rejoice that
the Rebellion was suppressed, Secession de-
feated, and Slavery abolished, NAV be united
in one harmonious, effective organization. II
viii be time enough u pronounce such homes
climeTical after on earnest and general effort
has been made to realize them. Assured that
nine tentbs Of the Republicans OF this City, as
well as ninety-nine hundredths Of the entire
party, ardently desire such harmony, and i'm
patiently demand the subversion Of whatever
may impede il, cannot admit that the obsta-
cles thereto are insuperable until have done
what / may to remove them.
AS my OUJtcV Is peace ana not victory,
shall vigorously abstain from Taking over the
ashes of dead controversies. All know that
there have been divisions and rival organiza-
tons among the Republicans of this City;
none doubt that the party has been crippled
and weakened by them. All know that the

From the effect which it has had upon
the Judges Of the Supreme Court of Cali
fornia one would imagine that Chinese tes-
tmony is peculiarly confusing. Those grave
and reverend seignors lately granted cul-
prit new trial on the ground that he had been
convicted on the evidence OF Chinese witnesses.
Knowing the prejudice which exists against
All Sin in the favored land of his adoption,
we should find little TO wonder at IN this
ruling if the Court had not proceeded dcliber-
ately to decide that the Constitutional Amend
ments which admit negro and Chinese testi-
mony do not "abrogate State laws regulating
"practice in courts of law" 1t is a little en-
couaging to know that there was one dissent
ing member on that learned bench.

The Pacific members, yesterday, were en!o-
moogically inclined. That is TO say, they went
TO the President with bees in their bonnets,
and came away with Geas in thoir eaTs:-
volunteered advice TO the President about ap-
pointing new man in his Cabinet, and were
cvijly told to mind their own business. Sen
ator Williams OF Oregon is too good man
to be abused as he has been in this matter
We are very confident he could have had no
hint that his name was to be pressed in such
indicate fashion upon the President. This IL
the way political charlatans are put forward !;
and Mr.. Williams is not chaiatan but a
very strong, self-respoctiDg and uniformly re-
sDectful Senator.

The occupation of Rome as the capital. once
more, of United Italy, is On event OF such
commanding interest in the worlds history
that the proposition to commemorate it by a

representative of what is best and most
influential in all classes Of our New-Yorh
society; and the speakers secured are prom

made in Europe for many a day than the
marvellous realization of Cayours dream,
which our eyes have been permitted to see.

The hair-splitting arguments over the bill
paving a Union officer for his house destroyed
at Paducah to give better range to The Union
artillery against the advancing Rebels, who
threatened $40 quarter have happily come 10
an end in the Senate, and the officer has been
awarded his just claim. 1t was absurd to talk
of it as a test claim" involving many mill
lions and delay justice in consequence. There
were very few instances in which United
States soldiers were called upon IN tho
cxigency Of battle to tear down their houses,
and fewer where they did it willingly, as this
officer did, in the firm belief that the Govern
ment whose fort and soldiers were thereby
saved, would uDgrudginGly reQuite him.
When other claimants press forward, in the
belief that this has been made "test case"
and establish as clearly equal devotion to
and sacrifice for the Union cause, we hope
there viii be no hesitation in paying them.
We can well afford il; for there VIII not be
many such cases.

The House discussed yesterday, and is to
conclude to-day, the resolutions condemning
Admirals COdon and Davis for not aiding our
Minister to Paraguay and the members of bis
LEGATION when threatened by President Lopez.

members are likely to lose sight of the most
important consideration involved. Their action

The supemumeraIy officers of the army
were yesterday formally mustered out, as the
law of last Summer provided. Now let us
have inquiry and reform in the matter Of
retired officers. There are numerous officers
of the Regular Army who have been retired
on their volunteer or breyet rank, and who
are drawing from $500 to $4,000 more pay
than they would earn if they were doing
service on the active list. This is doubtless
pleasant enough for the retired officers, who
for aught we know earned rank and pay too !;
but the Government cannot afford to be
generous before being just, and it is not
precisely just TO pay better for performing
nothing than for doing something. This is
an abuse resulting from hasty legislation
and Congress ought therefore to hasten to
remedy it.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1871-01-06

The Colored Cadet is accused OF lying and
is to be tried upon tho charge to-day. There
appears strong likelihood that some one of
the Cadets lied in connection with the affair
which led to the trial. We have not
vet so far lost faith in human nature
"a TO believe that Cadet Smith is to be
degraded from bis position by general con-
spiracy, involving 80 many officers and men as
must be fully cOgnizant of the facts in this
unhappy case-such conspiracy as would be
necessary to convict under specifications like
those printed in another column. The verdict
cf the Court will be awaited with interest; and
it will certainly DO rendered with full con-
sciousness that it will be subject to q suhse-
quent severe official and unofficial review.
Probably few boys could be found who would
be able to sustain so long as Smith has done
the terrible ordeal Of isolation and insults
which have befallen him; acd it is to his credit
that he still presents q manly trent. West
Point is thiclIy incrusted with conceit and af-
fectation, and assumes an cir of indifference to
public opinion which it is far from actually
feeling. The voice of the press is heard no
less distinctly there than elsewhere. We be-
lieve, therefore, that extraordinary pains have
been taken TO secure TO Smith the most
ample official consideration, even from those
known to revi,e him privately on account of
his color. 1t is to be remembered, too. that
those now in The classes at the Academy have
been appointed chiefly by Radical Congressman,
and may be assumed to sympathize in gen.
eral with the tendency so break down all
barriers in tho way OF the advancement of
colored Inen. Under these circumstances, it
might well have been hoped that Smith would
make his way at the Academy, even while
considerable portion of the Cadets sneered
at his color; for if The discipline
of the Academy is harassing ins some
respects, it is also largely protective of Juniors;
and the severity of discipline has been, in
reality, Smiths safeguard. 1t is not so sur
prising, therefore, that he 10 found 10 be adj
vanccd to the middle of his class, or that he
retains excellent health and spirits; and IL
would not be surprising, all the circumstances of
his notoriety being considered If he had some
times become insolont aud troublesome, among
his fellows, and been made TO feel n little of
the wholesome curbing of the playground.
We expect to see in few years numerous
negro officers Of the Regular Army, even though
Cadet Smith should fail to become one Of them.

The most striking passage of the Message Of
Gov. Palmer of Illinois is directed al the pow
e1ful railroad corporations Of that State; and
he claims the right of the State to regulate

form an important subject of consideration i'll
