The CASE OF CAPTAIN GRINDLE, of the ship
Old Colony, charged with cruelty to two sea-
men, is on trial before Judge Woodruff The
evidence shows that the men received most
brutal treatment, being starved and beaten,
and also that they were shipped by broker
against their will. Apart from the question
of cruety-which is subject that the Court
has yet to decide upon-it seems to us that
some provision ought to Se made by which sea
captains could be protected from these villa
nous shipping masters who thrust upon them
such ''shanghaied" unfortunates as these two
men, who, it appears, could not speak English,
and were unwilling to work.

Tho Commissioners or Emigration.

At late meeting of this body very inn
portant measure was adopted-namely, the
reduction of the commutation tax upon
emigrants from two dollars and half to one
dollar and half. Any measure which re-
lieves the emigrant from pecuniary oppression
is very good. 1t is an encouragement to emf
grafton, which we want very badly. There
are millions upon millions of acres in the
Western States waiting the labor which the
emigrant ship can supply, and we know that
these acres abound in wealth, not alone In
agricultural products, but in minerals under
lying the crust Of the soil. In this direction
immigration will find grand centre from
which industry and skill can spread itself with
a certainty of remuneration. The Commits
sioners Of Emigration have managed their in
stitution, 50 far, with conscientious regard
for the comfort of the emigrant.
There is, probably, no public institution in
the city, considering the numerous difficulties
which constantly beset its management, that
has done SO well in the fulGlment Of Its duties
as the department Of the Commissioners Of
Emigration.
The reduction of the Communication tax was
decided upon, Of course, upon due considera.
tion, upon consultation with the shipowners.
So much the better for the emigrant, and
so much the better for the country, for We
need all the labor we can procure. How fal
this action Of the Emigrant Commission was
stimulated by the movement now in Congress
to place the whole system of emigration under
the control Of the federal government, we do
not know. The German Society, which ID
represented by its president in the Emigrant
Commission, has sent remonstrance to Con-
gress against the proposed measure of trans
ferring the control of immigration from tho
several States to the federal government.
They urge that their knowledge of the work.
ings of the present system satisfies them that
it is carried on greatly for the benefit both oi
the immigrant and the State.
At all events we have had no fault to find
with the operations of the Commissioners oi
Emigration. They comprise number of gen.
tlemen who give their services to work which
may be regarded as much labor of charity
as of public official duty. We are glad, then,
that they find themselves in position fnan.
cially to reduce the commutation tax upon the
immigrant to dollar and a half. If the insti-
tuition at Wards Island-the refuge Of the
homeless the friendess and the sick-and the
Castle Garden establishment can be main
tanned at this reduced rate, the credit, we
suppose, must be due to the economy and
good financial ability of the Board Of Com
missioners.

ssA Hereafter Without a ncyil.u

Our worthy contemporary, the Commercial
Adoertiser, seems still moved by the spirit Of
grace, and yesterday descanied upon the
above subject, taking for text some remarks
by Henry Ward Beecher about the noxious
weeds that are allowed to grow up in the
vineyard Of the Lord, even to the choking of
the flowers of truth and holiness. The Com
mercial says
We are all OF us beset by weeds of the devils
brought forth, whether would or not, 1t is as
much His business as ours to that the "Yeeds,'
don't choke US and prevent US blooming and cXhal-
ing sweet fragrance through all eternity. The idea
here set forth is very far from teaching the non-ex
istence Of hell On the contrary clearly supposes
that we can't pluck the "weedsn ourselves and
God don't see t to do 1t for u.s. shall certainly be
chOked, and that 'choklng" means nothing more
nor less than perpetual captivity on '.shores Plu-
tonlan.n
Convinced, therefore, that there is here
after. our friend, it seems, is disposed to have
it run without devil, SO that the weeds
planted by his Satanic Majesty can be choked
out. But is it not better to see that no weeds
are allowed to gather in our pathway as we
tread the worldly fields of righteousness than
to trust to so uncertain a chance for their
eradication ? By the way, having been blest
with one far-spreading Weed during his life
time, does the Commercial editor fear har-
vest Of them in the future?

THE CABINET.-We understand that in con-
sequence OF the presence at Washington Of the
Joint High Commission, the Cabinet for the
present will remain undisturbed; but that

peace which IS expected between England and
the State Department, and that a reorganiza-
ton Of the Cabinet from top to bottom will

the glitter Of arms and the stupid clamor Of
drums will be quickly consigned to the pro-
perties room of the great European play
house. The leading actors will doff their
buskins and wash off their war paint. Useful
science, trade, education, religion and all the
blessed agencies Of peace will reappear
actively upon their rightful stage-the broad
fields and sparkling seas of Christendom.
The lilies and roses will not be licking in the
gardens OF the reconciled people, and the
olive branch will flourish at their doors.
The presumption is that France will fall
back into anarchy; out Of the anarchy may
grow monarchy, an empire or republic. A
republic is just rs possible as monarchy
But the whole interest Of the situation lies in
the particular that an uphcaving in France
may prove contagious in Germany; that Ger
many may divide; that German democrats
may find their opportunity that the democracy
in the South of Europe, in Italy, in Spain,
in Portugal may also awake, and that the
hoped-ior peace may result in European con-
fusion and revolution. AT all events, it must
be conceded that the facts of the hour indicate
approaching chaos in France; and no one can
refuse to admit that chaos in France has
France, Of course, is not the France she once
was, and il is possible that in this fact lies a
difference,

TIE Late Emperor OF France-Is II The
Last Of the BOnopartess


Our latest dispatches concerning the dis
tinguished prisoner at Wilhelmsh1he inform
us that now,
With all the world before him where to choose,
he will shortly bid ''goodby" to the hospitali-
ties of the German Emperor and proceed to
England to join his wife and son, lately the
Empress and the Prince Imperial of France,
at their comfortable little country house at
Chiselhurst, England. 1t appears, however,
that he does not go in the desparing frame of
mind with which the exiled Marius sat brood
ing over the ruins of Carthage. Nothing Of
the sort; for the dethroned Emperor is as
hopeful Of recall to France as after that lucky
escape across the Channel from his imprison-
ment at Ham. He has undimnished faith in
what Martin Van Buren, called ''tho sober
second thought Of the people," and he will
bide his time. Louis Philippe in his exile
never expressed himself SO hopefully as this
of a return to the Tuileries but no doubt he
too, had his expectations until he saw the
empire firmly re-established on the ruins of
the Mantilni republic of 1S4S.
as unpromising as that of "6ea,emegito de la
patria," General Don Antonio Lopez de
Santa Anna, or as that Of her Most Catholic
Majesty Donna Isabella Segunda, or as that of
jeff Davis. But why so, when the empire under
Napoleon the Third in its substantial benefits
of law and order, security and prosperity, was
the best government the French people have
ever had Why, then, should there be no
more hope for the Bonapartes? Because this
is the third time the Bonapartes have brought
the Germans into Paris, and because this third
visitation involves disasters and humilations
to poor France which Frenchmen never can
forgive-never, never He is no more respon-
sible than they are for these crushing misfor-
tunes; but France must have a scapegoat,
and having packed all her sins upon the back
of Louis Napoleon, his only place of safety is
England. France has had enough Of gloire
and oictoire to last her for some time. But if
she is powerless against the Germans she can
take her satisfaction out Of the Bonapartes,
and her clashing political factions can wreak
their revenges upon each other. A dismal
prospect, this, for poor France; but there is
still the hope that she will fnd sufficient
employment, till her wrath has cooled down, in
providing for the urgent necessities of her
starving widows and orphans, and that then
she will proceed sensbly and energetically to
the practical business of reconstruction. Mean
time, the best that Louis Napoleon can do is
to retire to the society of his family at Chisel-
hurst and write up his history of the war,
giving julius Caesar no further attention. The
best thing the American Bonaparte can do is
to return home, rejoin the United States Army
and try the diversion Of summer campaign
among our Western Indians.

How Is THIs?-Is the venerable subsoil
professor Of Chappaqua still held as a repub-
lican brother in good standing at Washington

HOPEFUL INCREASE OF DARKIEs IN Con-
GREss.-Five new darky representatives were
sworn in in the House of Representatives on
Saturday. These are about the only evidences
Of sound reconstruction that the radicals can
confidently point to at present. Legislatures
will change, State majorities will turn from re-
publican to democratic, governors in Office
will 'go back on the party that elected them,
and even Senators who have had the oath
toned down to suit their circumstances will
display alarming conservatism; but the darky
must stay black, and the mulatto must remain
colored for ever, despite the malign influences
Of democracy. 1t is great consolation to
know that after five years OF hard work at re-
construction there are such Interchangeable and
indisputable evidences Of the grand mission
and grand success Of the republican partys

RUMBLNG IN New HAMPsHIRE.-We have
accounts of a shock of an earthquake occur
ring in New Hampshire. Is this prognostic of
an upheayal among the republicans at the
election on Tuesday next? The democrats
have been working zealousy, and the republi-
cans do not seem to be altogether of their
wonted happy accord during the present CAM
paign. But the cohesive power Of public
plunder" was never better illustrated than in
State like New Hampshire, where the whip
of the politicians and the love for the loaves
and fishes of Office keep the masses in strict
party lines. Besides Governor and Railroad
Commissioner, Legislature, three members
of Congress and five State Councillors are to
be chosen on the Nth; and as the Granite
State leads off after the first half of Grants
administration is passed it will be curious
to notice what verdict her people will pass
upon its acts. This rumbling in New Hamp-
shire will probably precpitate the adjourn
ment Of the Forty-second Congress in order
that members may go home and stir up the
political caldron during the few remaining
days Of the canvass. Let the hills of New
Hampshire tremble.

TIE New JERSEY SUPREME CoURr decided
few days ago that two aldermen of Jersey
City violated the law by voting for the pur-
chase by the city Of land in which they were
interested. Ole of these aldermen is the
framer Of the new charter for Jersey City, and
had himself appointed on the Board Of Works.
This charter comes up for third reading
to-day in the Legislature, and we would
suggest as its provisions are unsatisfactory
and its antecedents are bad, that it oug bit to
be summarily squelcbed.

GENERAL SHERMAN has ordered general
transfer OF troops, and takes occasion quietly
to send two additional regiments and q
battery of artillery to the South. General
Grant, in conversation with some members of
the new Congress yesterday, said that he
hoped Congress would not adjourn until it had
provided some better means Of protection for
loyal people in that section and putting these
two facts together there remains little doubt
that decisive steps are to be taken to preserve
the peace there by means Of judicious dis
tribution of military police.

JudRe Bcdfor.l,s Charge.

The charge Of Judge Bedford in the Court of
General Sessions yesterday will be found in
ertenso in another column. After briefly call
ing, as required by the statute, the attention
OF the Grand Jury to offences against the
Excise and Usury laws, the laws to preserve
the purity Of elections and the laws relating to
lotteries, &C., he launches out boldly against
class of Offenders which has hitherto escaped
public judicial condemnation. The pettifogging
lawyers of this city are numerous, and as
term Of opprobrium and to brand them as the
Pariahs Of the professionals they are-they
have long gone by the name Of ''shysters." :"
Their specially, outside Of the legitimate
sphere Of the profession, is truthrully por-
trayed and scathingly denounced by Judge
Bedford. He intimates that probably one or
two cases requiring the investigation Of the
Grand Jury may be presented by the District
Attorney, and he assures that body that if
they but do their duty in the premises the
Court will fully sustain their action. The
'sshyster" is cancer that ought long since to
have been eradcated from the honorable body
it infects, and this first operation of Judge
Bedford looking to that end is one that will
be most heartily approved by all the
respectable members of the bar and by the
entire bench of the city. It is pretty clear
that the dishOnorable and dishonoring career
of the shyster, thanks to Judge Bedford, is
near its close.

Mr. HARDRNBURGH in the State Senate
yesterday introduced bill changing the time
of holding State elections from November to
October. 1t is supposed that the bill will
pass as democratic means of eyadny the
action of the Congressional enforcement law
upon our State elections, but the object to be
attained is not worth the expense. The last
election we had under federal supervision was
unusually fair and orderly, and tnis change Of
the election time will involve considerable
extra outlay that will not find satisfactory

THE Coal MINERS in their communication
to the HERALD in another column present a
very convincing narrative. The ''paterna"
system of employment, by which the operators
furnish houses, groceries, medicines and medi-
cal attendance, household goods ard even
whiskey TO their employees, taking pay at
their own valuation out of the wages at the
end Of each month, or else, what is similar in
effect collecting it for the butcher and baker
and rumseller with whom the miner runs up
his account, is one OF the most infamous and
grinding methods Of extortion in the world.
II keeps the miner forever bound by that most

The Consequences.

lFio4h the assumption Chronicle.
While we have no fears of the ultimate
action of President Grant in regard to the
removal of the Gatlin officials. vet we are
panied that so much delay should give our
enemies, the Democrats, occasion to rejoice
at what they foresee to be division in the
Republican party, and certain Democratic
victory at the polls in 1872
We have faith that President Grant in
tends to act Alright in this matter For if
ne should falter, he may rest assured that
as certain as the heavens are above US. so
certain will he forever bid the shades of the
Whlte House adieu the fourth of March
succeeding the next general election.
Some OF the consequences of Grants
hardness may be briefly mentioned.
flrst-Ihe animated discussions and the
snow OF lie In the Democratic fossils, who
nave until now been without hone for their
party in the future.
Second-The increased efforts of the Ku
klux Democratic party to foster the Gatliu
gun gentlemen in their endeayors TO create
a faction OF enough power to allow the
Democrats to win the next election.
Thlrd-The great rejoicing of the con-
federate rebels, who are already iubilant
over the supposed dissolution Of the Re-
publican party in Louisiana.
These are some of the minor consequences
of allowing the Gatlin gun gentlemen, in
GLIDING our brOther-i11aw Casey, to hold
their positions in their intrenchments of the
Customhouse until the present time.
We should rejoice to hear Grant say that
he proposed to move immediately and
remove these Gatlin gunners as early as
possible from their positions.
