decessors, ALI these are matters OF public
record. Finally, the tip end OF the Demo-
cratic dynasty here was Isaac V. Fow'er-"
special pet of the Van Buren-Tilden ohgarchy
who was turned out of the poet-ofhce 10,
faulter for over 100000, nearly all e1pendoo
in his partyB service, and of which no penny
was ever recovered.
We take no pleasure in these "reminiscences.
We do not mean to imply that there are no'
thieves in the Republican as we'll as IN tne
Democratic party, nor that they have no. |"
kindred facility In getting Office. Smce s.o
Savior of mankind had thief among lis
chosen Twelve, it would be insane preslinp-
ton to claim a stainless purity for each OF our
One Hundred Thousand Republican ONCE
holders Some of them are doubtless rascals
while the whole crowd will bear close watch
ing and behave all the better for it. But hr'
Tiden's Pharisaio assumption OF superior
sanctity for party which has produced anu
still upholds the Tammany Ring. WHEREBY
legislators have boon bought by the string ilke
ecls, only that they are more slippery and enor-
mously dearer, was strangely out OF place In
O Convention whereof Tweed was the WIRE
worker. Ii the crew of pirate had held mass
meeting on some barren isle along our coast
to protest against Carnochans warfare on our
City's commerce, and resolved that he should
confine his e1actions within the limits of de-
cency, the procedure would have been no more
impudent than Tilden's sanctimOny.
New-York tribune., 1871-10-06

subject of Mr.. Catacazy's recall is that the
President has agreed to "tolerate" him until
after the Grand Dukes visit when he must
be recalled, or he will have his passports sent
to him. This is bad enough, but the silent
man of the White House declares that under
no circumstances will he speak to the Russian
Minister. This will make it awkward for
all concerned when young Alexis goes to
Washington as tho Minister naturally would
expect to take prominent position. Hap
PLY, however, we have precedent for
the etiquette needed when the Republic
has a royal visitor, and precedent is
great thing. So the naval salute will be
fired constructively for the Russian Admiral
with the Grand Dukes feet, and the young
scion of royalty will be conducted to the
Presidents parlor by oircuitous route which
precedent and diplomacy have combined to
provide, leaving Mr. Catacazy outside the line
of red tape. This is all designed to preserve
unimpaired the traditiOnally intimate relations
which exist between Russia and the United
States, but it is plain that the Grand Dukes
enjoyment will not begin until he is taken in
! hand by the Knickerbockers
New-York tribune., 1871-10-06

If Gen. Buffers further political exertions in Mas
sachusetts this FALL devoted to the election of
an economical Legislature, nobody will find fault
with him whose is entitled to any consdera-
ton. If no public money has been fooishly spent
in that State, and if nobody has there picked and
stolen from the treasury through the opportunities
of official position, and if there have been private
axes ground the legislative wheels, then Massa-
chusetts has been luckier than some Of her neigh
bors. Gen. Butler may not be very comfortable
member of the party in which he avows his fixed in
tention Of remaining, but he may yet be useful one
We have no doubt that his financial exhibit with
his statement of the State expenditures far from
being fair but at the same time, If there was any
truth in it, we advise the Massachusetts, Republicans
to take the same to heart How many political
leeches are hanging like barnacles upon the Repub
lican party in Massachusetts,, we have no means OF
knowing; but should they be dislodged by Gen.
Butler body else. they must not expect US to
CRY for them,

A HINT TO QUE CITY.

The citizens of Webster parish, Louisiana,
In view Of the fact that their taxes and their
public debts seemed to be increasing In equal
and alarming ratio, recently held meeting
to consider the situation. They met at Min
den, where every place OF business was closed
to swell their numbers. They chose Presi-
dent and fourteen Vice-Presidents, whereof
five were negroes. All parties were repre-
sented, and Whites and Blacks alternately
addressed the meeting. On the report OF o
Committee of Sixteen, they unanimously re-
solved that politics and party ascendency
could not be relied On-that they should be
ignored altogether, and tho voters all brought
to act as unit on this platform:
First: Ignoring altogether Federal politics.
Second The elevation Of the moral standard Of ocial
action by the election Of honost and competent men,
Third: The most rigorous economy In the expenditure
OF the public moneys consistent with the dignity Oh tne
State.
Fourth The passage Of laws adequate to the punish
ment OF peculaton and fraud committed by the servants
Of the people.
FIN The protection Of tho citizen, without regard to
color or opinion In tho free exercise Of bis civil and
political rights and the abrogation OF all laws whicn
,hvsrt the will Of tho people BY giving tho manipua-
ton OF the baobox to the individuals whose personal
interests are staked upon the declared result
Srh; The repeal of all laws intended to serve the pur
poses OF political parties by comforting mOnopoes OF
public patronage; and the abolition OF all onces not
necessary to the efficient administration Of public affairs
Seventh: Such distribution Of the offices In the state
AZ will satisfy all men that our only objects are those
herein set FORTH
We guess that this movement will win,
not merely in Webster. but in a great many
other parishes as well. o that we could feel
like assurance with regard to this most
abused and plundered City of New-York

THE SPANISH CRISIS.

Those WHO imagined that peace and settled
government would come to Spain in the suite
of the young Italian King have already had
occasion to change this fancy. The policy of
personal intrigue, which was the only founda-
tion of political action in the reign of Isabel
Segunda, has been revived by the atmosphere
of q genuine court into a life and activity
which it did not know in the time of the in
terregnum. During the two years in which
Serrano was Regent and Prim was the real
ruler of Spain there was better and stronger
Government than had existed for many years
before. Yet even then the advocates of
the monarchy insisted upon it that the
country was perishing for the want
o King, and that the new Constitution
Only wanted that final spring to march with
out further haltng. q All the old parties agreed
upon this; the only point where they differed
was who should name the King and bring
him home. When at last this was accomplished
by coalition Of all the monarchical parties,
excepting of course those devoted to the
Bourbon families, the young Duke of Aosta
came in with the most fsttering prospects for
a tranquil reign. At the very moment of his
landing the able soldier and politician to
whom he owed his crown fell by the hand Of
the assassin, and thus relieved the youthful
monarch from that oppressive and powerful

New-York tribune., 1871-10-06

More damning facts relating to the great
thefts of Tammany are coming out. An ex-
animation of practical wOrkmen discloses more
fully the shameful frauds which everybody
knew had been perpetrated in furnishing the
New Courthouse. The famous carpets, which
were reputed to have cost over $35O,00
are found to be worth, when new, only
$4,000. There is only 100000 worth
of furniture where the insatiate In
gersOll claims to have put in about one mil
lion and o half dollars worth; and a beg
carly $4,000 would liberally pay for the cabi-
net and carpenter work which Miller, Ingersoll,
and the rest got over million dollars for
doing. This is swindling on the largest scale.
Yet the Mayor who was q party to paying
these monstrous bills, airily rides into court
and makes speech about the malice of his
political enemies"
New-York tribune., 1871-10-06

The Chicago Euening Journal is the news
paper which professed to give an account of
President Grants alleged declaration, in Chi
cago conversation, that he would stand by
Thomas Murphy through thick and thin. AS
The Journal contrives in the course of
the short article making this statement
D furnish the remarkable information that
Collector Murphy was never identified with
either wing of the Republican party in this
State, that THE TRIBUNE was friendly to him
when ho was appointed, that it has now con-
Quoted open warfare upon him for several
months, and been engaged for that length of
time in exposing his record, and that it has made
no specific charges against him, we do not see
that surprise need be excited at any other
wonderful story it may choose to tell. But
we shall not do the President the injustice to
believe anything against him on the authority
of a journal 80 manifestly incapable OF
accuracy.
New-York tribune., 1871-10-06
TUE PROSPECT IN OHIO.

The election which takes place in Ohio
on Tuesday next is of special Importance.
Beside full State ticket, Legislature
which is to choose United States Senator
is to be elected. Ohio should stand in tho
van of the Republican States of the
West, and, though bad generalshlp
weakened the columns of the grand old party,
the State is still Republican stronghold.
Cautious and cool-headed politicians are reck-
Oning on Republican majority OF 10000 ;
we would like to see noble excess of
these figures, but shall be satisfied if
this prediction be fulfilled. The Democracy
have been weighted down with disastrous
nomination for Governor, and confusion of
councils about finance and the New Depar-
ture. They have refused to take up the gage
of battle which has been thrown down to
them by the Republicans in their CHEEKY, en-
thusiastic, and brilliant campaign. They give
up the fight
But, as special correspondent of THE TRIB-
UNE, whose letters appear on the second page
of this issue, points out, the Democracy are
hoping and working for q majority in the
Legislature, emboldened thereto by an un-
happy diversion in Republican ranks
which has been made by Temper
ance Republicans in ono or two locali-
ties We cannot well question the hon
est intent of these men, fraught though it is
with mischief. They have forgotten that the
surest way to leopard the cause for which
they fight is to help give few mem
bers of the Legislature to the Democracy ;
yet they are doing this very thing. Irritated
by few questionable nominations, these men
have put up third candidates, and have so
complicated affairs that determination in
their present tactics makes possible the
return of Democrats enough to control
the Legislature, elect Democratic
successor to Sherman, and give the legislation
of the State into the hands of anti-Temper-
ance men. 1t is not possible that this suicidal
policy will be persisted in to election-day.
Ohio Republicans Union and Victory should
be your battle-cry now.

accuracy,
The Cincinnati Commercial allows a corr

The Cincinnati Commercial allows a CORE
spondent to say without rebuke that
"Mr Greeley objects to Gen. Grant because Of the law
giving military protection to citizens and voters securing
the purity Of the balotbox."
As the exact opposite of the above-quoted
assertion is truth of the widest notoriety, We
marvel that one ignorant in the premises could
obtain access to the columns of q respectable
journal. Mr.. Greeley urged the passage of the
act in question before Gen. Grant did, and has
justified such enactment much oftener and
more zealously than the President OF almost
any one else.
New-York tribune., 1871-10-06

At a meeting of reform Democrats" in this
city last night, Mr.. n. NJ. Pomeroy made the
unique assertion that when TammaDy is over
thrown, the Democracy wouid redeem New
York. Mr.. Pomeroy knows that when Tam
many is overthrown the Democracy must fall
too. With Tammany holding the Democratic
Convention at Rochester by the collar, and MIR
Tweed debating the plan of campaign to the
"hay-loft and cheese-press" rank and file ot
the party, the Reform orators joke about De
mOcracy redeeming the city is refreshingly
cool.
New-York tribune., 1871-10-06
TEMPERANCE IN POLITICS.

The great mass of the Temperance men OF
our State are satisfied with the position
taken by the Republican party-that of re-
mit6ng the question of License or Pro-
hibtion to the legal voters of the several
cities and townships. If the people Of any
choose to have liquor sold within their bor-
dcrs, let them have it; if they choose not to
have it, let their judgment be con-
elusive. Experience has proved Prohibi-
ton ineffective where public sentiment is ad-
verse: the law remaining dead letter. On
the other hand, where the people of town
ship vote that they will not have liquor sold
among them, they will be quite apt to enforce
the law which gives effect to that decision.
We do not see how fairer rule could be de-
vised, and we hope to see this soon enacted
into law.
There is a very small clique which protests
against this in behalf of absolute and unlver-
sal Prohibition (on paper), and is running
ticket on that platform. Every vote cast for
that ticket will be vote subtracted from the
Republican; it will be half a vote in
favor of those candidates whom ninety
of every hundred rumsellers will do
their utmost to elect We were ad-
yised that Mr.. II. S. McCollum, Editor of a
Temperance paper at Utica, was advocating
this suicidal course but we rejoice to learn
that We wero misinformed. Mr.. McCOllum,
with all reasonable Temperance men, Is salts
fed with the position of the Republicans on
this question.
New-York tribune., 1871-10-06

No European Power, 80 far as we reconect
has ever sent military or naval attdcM in
the suite of its Minister to the United States
The example of Great Britain, which is re-
ported to propose sending Rear-Admiral COch-
rane to Washington as Naval Attache, will
probably be followed by other nations, as
none can afford to lose any opportunities
for gathering useful information regarding
improvements in warfare which another may
happen to secure first These naval and mill
tary observers are quite generally distributed
In Enrnne.

The attitude of the English strikers grows
more and more determined and formidable.

was organized. the League are preparing to

This will effectually paralyze a great variety

masters. Present indications point to the
ultimate triumph of the employees, whatever
the real merits of the case may be.
New-York tribune., 1871-10-06

We felt confident that the Democrats could
not make a weaker ticket for State Officers
in 1871 than they did in 1869; but they have
done it. Judge Allen was stronger candi-
date than any now presented; and how could
any Convention be so remorseless as to medi-
tate a second term of Marshall B. Champlain 7
