4 Icadin. boltcr says it is time for General
GRANT to "let Us have peace In this
orjuion the whole world will concur. But
having failed to give us peace in near four
wears what reason have we to expect it from
him in four more years! And yet the
loltcrS, censllrin@ him for failing to give it
10 lis in all that time, 1ciect the Liberal
cause, which is joined ly all their people,
which makes war upon General GRANT for
not giyin. it to lis. and promises to confer
upon the nation that liberty and peace which
he has destroyed. The boilers hope that the
wolves that have eaten sheep for four years
will have 10 taste for lamb during the next
four wears.

The GRANT Radicals have been asking
where are the Liberal Republicans? They
have been answered not at all to their Suits
faction, but yet very ctlectualy. On Thurs
day they had too much Of III answer from
Albany, New York, in grand Liberal Re
publican meeting, led by Governor FENToS.
Speeches were made 10y distinguished Re
pubicans who sustained GRANT in 'GS.
These Republicans that haunt the very
dreams of GRANT are appearing everywhere,
North and South. Even in North Carolina
the Liberal Republicans are power, and a
day or two since exholted their brethren to
vote the Conservative ticket of the State.

ne said Yesterday, we nre not the Esarti-
san of any OF the railroad kings. But we
welcome them all to Virginia. We do mol
want to see this State Mt the mercy, OF any OF
them, and we know that competition Is the ~
only means by which a community can ~. pe
delivered from the grinding power oil a a. mo
nopoly. No state has suffered more heavl'!
than Virginia from the mereiless charges loi
transportation, and especially from discri'ni-
Mating charges against her. Her merchants
have suffered disastrously. The competing
trade of the powerful northern cities HIS
been so favored by corporations Whlch OWE
their existence not only to the charters gwen
thcm nv the State, but also to the money
subscribed by the State to their cons'ruc-
ton. that her ewn merchants have been III
many instances ruined, while her commerce
has suffered intellectually. When groceries
and Goods of all kinds, shipped IN New 1orN
and Baltimore could be delivered at a'illo''
any noint thirty miles from Richmond ~ 'e''
cost for TRANSFORMATION than the same ARTICLES
couI7l he Transported from Richmond, rum
TO orr trade was the unavoidable conse-
quence.
LET the kings ccmc--giye them all fair
>hakc-and let us get the benefit OF the stri'c
between them. No harm can be done.
Money expended in railroads cannot be re-
moved: and we have no fear for the roadS'
There will be plenty to sustain them all
They will. by pursuing the Wise pol'cS OIL
reasonable fares and quick movements, make
fine sources of revenue which support them,
and the State will be rapidly improved and
her now hidden wealth rapidly brought 10
liyht. Nothing is more cheering, therefore,
than the introduction of northern money ana
northern enterprise into the State. 1t Will
insure prosperity and public protection from
cStortion and Injustice.

HANDS OFF.

Perhaps any period is poor time In when
to propose the annexation of new territory 10
the United States. Certainly the present Is.
With two or three States in q condition APP
preaching anarchy, to talk of "enlarging the
"area of freedom" seems a fine sarcasm. But
the lapse of royal line in the little Kingdom
of Hawaii is sure to be seized on as
pretext for bringing under the American
flag the Sandwich Islands, to which not
few of our statesmen and politicians have
heretofore cast longing gances. We all know
the staple arguments: q dying race, predomi-
nant American interests, a halfway port in
our track to Asia, rich addition to our pro-
ductive revenues; this is the sort OF plea
which the advocates of annexation are
sure to make. Faint echoes Of their opening
campaign already reach us from Washington.
Now, We do not need any more national ter
ritory; we do need to improve and govern
better what we have. AS a nation we are
amply "spread out" already; and our latest
acquisition is yet governed by military law
if it is governed at all. The
scheme for the annexation of Santo
Domingo never met with popular favor, and
is regarded to-day with indifference or active
alarm. The Sandwich Islands, in the middle
of the Pacific, three weeks sail from the
American coast, overwhelmed with debt and
peOpled by an effeminate race of men, would
be bigger elephant on our hands than even
icy Alaska has proved.
Just as The TRIBUNE always predicted, the
Alaska purchase is now quoted as good
precedent to Justify further annexations. We
bought the Aleutian Islands with Alaska, say
these champions of Manifest Destiny; why
not therefore bag the Sandwich Islandsf We
might, on these grounds, go into the market
~ a bidder for the Hebrides or the Indian
Archipelago.
We have difficulties enough already in our
way in working out the great problem of self
government. Free institutions cannot endure
without intelligence and religion. Have we
such a surplus of these in the last four or
five millions of addition to our citizenship
that we must needs be hunting for new semi
tropical and semi-barbarOus peoples to
be added to our voting population
We are sufficiently exposed already, in
case of foreign war. MusU we needs
be hunting for more exposed points on
which to plant our flag, SO that, without
navy to defend it, it could be Inundated at
pleasure by the first aggressOrf We have
territory now vaster than any government in
History has been able permanently to hold
together. Must we travel two thousand miles
into the ocean for moref
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1872-12-30
e" PUTS AND CALLS.p

We propose, certainly In no captions spirit
to throw little light on some obscure points
connected with the negotiation of the last
S135, 100000 Of the new five per cent loan. A
further issue of $300,000000 Of bonds is re-
commended by Secretary Boutwell, on similar
terms and it seems to us, on careful re-
perusal of the Secretary's explanations to the
Ways and Means Committee, and of the ques-
tions put to him by members of that Commit
tee, that there is still considerable misunder-
standing Oh important details. Mr. Kerr asked
Mr.. Boutwell, a question, to which no satisfac-
tory answer was made, which appears to us
to 90 to the root of the matter. That Ques-
ton was, "When did Jay Cooke g. Co. pay
" the Treasury for these new bonds 7" Theo-
retlcally, on the 1st of September, 1871 ; actu-
ally not until December Of that year. Under
what authority, then, did Secretary Boutwell,
make the Syndicate the owners of the bonds
on the list Of September, three months before
they paid for them In his monthly state
ments Of the public debt for September, OctO-
Der, and November, 1871, these bonds are not
included. Consequently the interest on them
was not part of the interest of the public
debt If this three months interest, amounting
to 81 5000 was not part of the interest OF the
public debt il was a commission to the Syn
dicate, over and above the One-half per cent
to which Mr.. Boutwell, was limited by the
law. If it was part of the interest on the
public debt, then the debt statements of Sep
TENDER, October, and November were untrue,
and the debt had been increased $135OOO,0OO.
In either case the law was violated. There is
no escaping one or the other of these concm-
siOns. Nor is it q sufficient answer to say that
in no other way could the loan have been
effected. The law should have been respected,
though the country had paid an extra one per
cent on its debt for ten years to come. To
make use Of the preteyt that Mr.. Boutwell,
does, that the Treasury has lost nothing by
the operation, is neither worthy nor to the
Purpose.
What Secretary Boutwell, really did "eally
" in August" 1s7l--the exact date is important
but has not been communicated to the public
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1872-12-30

sian Cabinet, that measures are now concert
ing TO check il by government interference.
But it ia most singular that the current of
travel which affects the whole world should
have no influence, to speak of, in French ter
ritOry We have mentioned the small number
Of French immigrants-2,7O0. 1t will appear
still less when we see that beside the $4,000
Irish, there are 1900 Swedes, 5000 Scotch,
6,4OO Norwegians, $500 Italians, 1900 Danes,
400 Swiss, 3,4OO Dutch, and even 1000 Rus
slams.
The usual distribution appears to have taken
place. Most of the Germans have gone West
Most of the Irish have remained in the East
Outside of New York, Illinois appears to have
gained the largest detachment Of the imml-
grating army. no less than $4,000 having gone
to that State. Pennsylvania has, as usual,
secured large contingent. We do not agree
with some of our contemporaries in deplorlng
this peaceful invasion. We hope and trust
that we shall be the better for gaining them,
and that their own countries may find some
relief in losing them.

PEDTAPE RESCUERS.

We have not before commented on the ev-
traordinary display of red-tape in the natter
of searching for the bodies Of the victims of
the Centre-st fire, for evident reasons. We
hoped that there was some explanation and
excuse for an official apathy which is dis
creditable to all who are in any way RESPONSE
BILE. And we have been unwilling to do any
injustice by hasty judgments. But 10 excuse
Is offered from any source, and it was not
until yesterday, five days after the fire, that
search was begun for the bodies, and then
only one was recovered.
Under all these circumstances, we think we
arc neither unfair nor harsh in saying that it
is fortunate circumstance that we are soon
10 have successor to the Coroner who hest
tated to order this work done until he could
ask the Controller through the regular chan
mel OF communication who was to bear the
expense. The Police officials who lacked the
prompt decision TO impress not only their
force, but all the idle bystanders into the
work of rescue. even though they knew the
sufferers were beyond aid and past suffering,
are hardly of the stamp of men the city can
safely trust in great aud trying emergency,
We should dislike very much TO have for a
landlord tue ScroOge of an owner who coldly
