THE THIEVING CARpEr-BAGGERS

In the hasty survey given in our Lincoln
Hall Speech of the Southern situation, the per-
sistent Democratic outcry against the carpet
baggers'-their hypocrisy, their venality, ra-
pacity, &c.-claimed attention. No statement
of the Southern problem would be complete
or candid which ignored this complaint
"Carpet-bag" villainy was often urged as the
provocation and excuse of Ku-Klux atrOcity
Did such villainy exist7 If so, what was its
nature and extentP
We answered these questions frankly and
truthfully. All those stigmatized as carpet
"baggers" are not rascals; many of them are
worthy, upright men, who are obnoxious to
the old planting aristOcracy and its satellites
only because they are earnest, efficient Repub-
Leans. If they would support and vote the
Democratic ticket, they would not be ac-
counted carpet baggers' at all, though fresh
from New-England or Ohio. But there arr
carpet baggers" who are knaves and hypo-
crites-who, making loud professions of zeal
for Republican ascendency and Negro enfran-
chisement and elevation, are mainly intent on
filling their own pockets from the spoil of an
impoverished unthrifty people. And
this kind of carpet-baggers" have been
prominent and powerful in the legisla-
ton and administration of several
Southern States, as their bloated public ex-
pendnure, taxation and Indebtedness, abun-
dainty, deplorably attest. Such is the naked
truth, exaggerated, very naturally, by partisan
hostility and bitterness, but bad enough when
reduced to its real dimensions. This rapacity
has embittered the ex-Rebels who were bitter
enough already, and too willing to believe
that every Republican was of course n canting
knave. IC he's alienated and repellcd many
who would have been Republicans ere this
had the new State governments been thor
oug'Iy upright and frugal, - it was impcra-
tive on many accounts, hat ihcy should have
been. Il has impoded Reconstruction. and -

re- The inclosed is clipping from The Necdrk
advertiser of letter by John BoylaD contradict
ing statement that Gov Hoffman was in town on
the Tuesday before tho riot, asserting that he saw
the Governor in Albany on Tuesday, and that he
was informed by the Governors Secretary, at 8
o'clock in the afternoon, that the Governor
knew nothing about the Mayors having
suspended the Orange parade. We don't
print tho card; first. because we have never
said that the Governor was in New-YOrk
on Tuesday Save as one volunteer correspondent
installing the date happened once to say Tuesday
when the context showed that he ment Monday ;
and second because the statement that the Gov
ernor didn't know at o'clock in the afternoon OF
Tuesday of Mayor Halls action is a lie. He had re-
ceived numerous dispatches before that hour from
prominent supporters in this city, vehemently ap-
pealing to him to rescue the party from the dan
ger into which it had fallen
And now, for Mr. Spaulding's comfort, re-
peat that we charge on our own responsibility
and of our own knowledge, that Gov. Hoffman
was in town on Monday; that lie sent an officer
of his staff to consult with Mayor Hall con-
corning the anticipated riot that that officer re-
ported to him the conversation with the Mayor or
the Mayors statements Of his purpose; that there
upon the Governor acquiesced, went TO Albany, and
did not return till the popular indignation, the
demand of his party friends in New-York,
and the alarm caused by Gov. Randoiphs
action in New-Jersey forced him back We have
made no nsinuations against Gov. Hoffman, We
have made these direct charges again and again No
man has denied them; no responsible man dare deny
them And now we take il for granted that Mr..
Henry r. Snaulding will not retract" his false and
Internationally charge; since evidently THAT is

The Chicago Tribune propounds the following
question
"Will THE NEw-YoRK TRIBUNE let us know the cause
OF the failure e. the recent energetic end expensive at
temple OF Secretary Boutwell, to fund National debt
at lower rate of interest to wit: at five per cent. or
undcrl Before the passage Of the act ON this subject
through Congress, THE TRIBUNE cried for 1t very loudly
and gave thousand positive assurances that could
place Ave per cent bond "a four per cent. bond on
tho market. and that capitalists would be eaor to get
hold Of these bonds. Now. why has the Funding bill
utterly failodr
ARsuer by his TribuRe.-We understand that
the great war in Europe, which so suddenly
broke out last Summer, and so speedily
absorbed q large portion Of the transferable
wealth of Europe, was one cause of the dis
appointment of our hopes. Another was the
deadly war waged by every enemy of the
Republican party, including recent renegades,
against the debt-paying policy which the
great mcn Of our Revolutionary age inaugu-
rated. which their sons revived after the
peace of 1915, and which Secretary
Boutwell, and this journal still adhere
to. Let it be settled and understood
that we are to go on paying the
present debt as rapidly as our fathers did
their debts (Which were not relatively lighter
tnan OurS), ana our NaflOnai crculJ VIII DC
equal to any requirement; but if we are to
sink into the European, monarchical IMPROVE
dcnce of merely paying interest in peace and
augmenting our debt on every recurrence of
war, we shall have no such credit, because we
shall not, deserve it. Let it be fixed to-day
that we shall go on paying One Hundred
Millions OF principal per annum till we shall
be clear of National Debt, and every one will
realize that credit must steadily appreciate;
but a formidable coalition of Copperheads
and Frec-Tradcrs now threatens to break
down the paying policy, ard the public credit
suffers in consequence.
We do not adElit that the funding policy is
failure. Sixty Millions funded at five in
stead of six per cent is 100000 per annum
saved; and this will largely overpay the cost
of the effort. And we do not believe the
process of funding is finally arrested, as The
Chicago Tribune and its motley allies so joy
fully calculate. We hope the Secretary may
yet b. able to meet Congress with the tdings
that the first 520OOOO,0OO of five per cents has
been taken. and $2O0O,OO0 per annum thus
saved to the American People

In one of the United States Courts, yester-
day, a steamship was condemned for snug
Cling done by the crew without the knowledge
of the officers. In giving his decision, the
presiding Judge took occasion to say that the
law which renders ship under such circum-
stances liable to forfeiture is, in his opinion,
too severe. He might have added that the
appeal to the Secretary of the Treasury, which
he recommended, is sure to be allowed All
laws which relate to the seizure and forfeiture
of vessels for illicit trade are practically a
dead letter, and might as well be blOtted from
the statute book. Their provisions are unne-
cessarily severe, and the effect is that the
power conferred upon the Secretary of the
Treasury to remit the forfeiture has almost
always been exercised in favor of the appel
lants. Instances of final condemnation and
sale of vessels seized for illicit traffic are so
rare rs TO be almost unknown. But it should
be remembered that the existence of the laws
relating thereto causes much costly litigation

The defeat of the bill for the reorganization
of the British Army in the House of Lords
will not surprise, though it may disappoInt
those who are looking for liberal reforms in
England. 1t was not Government measure,
but was originally introduced by Nh Cardwell
in the House of Commons, where it was
passed on the Sd of July by vote of 2S9 to
231. Satisfactory details of the character OF
the bill as it was then passed have not yet
reached us, but the main features of the
scheme involved q reorganization upon the
basis of the Prussian plan, with an army in
line and reserves in second and third lines.
TO reach this model of military perfection,
abolition of the purchase system became ne
cessity and we know how fercely this part of
the scheme was attacked by the defenders of
aristocratic privileges. Even Earl Derby's sup
port could not save the bill in the House OF
Lords where so many purchased army commits
sions and promotions are represented.

Accounts received at the War Department
from military officers acting as Indian agents
report a most uEhappy condition OF things
among the Indians Of Northern California and
Nevada. These improvident creatures subSist
ON game. roots, and berries, and when the
supply fails, which frequenily happens, they
must starve or pillage. The Government has
made but small provision for their wants y;
the multiplying settlers have driven off their
game, and now they are wandering about in

The regulations adopted by the United
States Board of Supervising Inspectors of
Steamboats,, which have just been approved by
the Secretary of the Treasury, are certainly
stringent enough and complete enough. Life
may be saved and disaster avoided by the
rigid enforcement of these regulations; but
the prevailing impression is thai existing laws,
salutary as they are, lack efficiency only be-
cause they arc not enforced. We shall be
glad to see the new regulations put down
TO practical operation; but past experience in
this sort of legislation is not encouraging for
tie future.

Southern correspondent gives some
notes of North Carolina politics, in letter
printed in another column, which are valu-
able, showing as they do the exact con-
dition of affairs in that disturbed region.
The Democratic programme for the amend
ment of the State Constitution is plainly
illegal but as there is some probability
that the scheme may yet be carried out, it is
we'll to understand what the Conservatives
really want. The views expressed by the Hon.
A. S. Mcrrman, prominent Democratic poll
tician of North Carolina. are prababiy those
of a majority OF bis party.

Marshal Scrra1o is disposed to draw the
reins of government very rigidly. He has
proposed to the King decree Outlawing men,
bers of the International Society in Spain,
and recommends q vigorous enforcement Of
laws relating to questions of public order.
This repressve policy has never been found
long conducive of public peace anywhere, and
it is not surprising that Senior Gorilla, more
liberal and enlightened statesman, should
oppose these contemplated schemes to stif1e
public opinion. The International Association
is just now the terror of European monarchistS,
and Serrano but echoes the absurd cry of
numerous alarmists when he Eliminates
against this society.
