the State Department, aud may have
allowed himself to be provoked into con-
duct that is to be regretted, but it does
appear to us that the State Department, In
forcing the doubtful Perkins claim against the
Russian government, has manifested an un-
seemly eagerness to get Mr.. Catacazy out of
the way. His reported interference with the
treaty project between this country and Great
Britain and some other things that have been
charged against him seem to have been an
afterthought to sustain the hostile attitude of
the State Department. The President has been
led evidently into taking strong ground on
this subject, and to the unfortunate and undig-
niied mention Of Mr.. Catacazy in his Message
to Congress, by the influence of the State
Department. The withdrawal Of Mr.. Catacazy
by the Russian government at the
desire Of the President should have

word. We have no cause of quarrel with
Russia, and if we have Numbered into diff
Guilty the Secretary Of State must be blamed.
Mr.. Fish can see with composure our flag
insulted, our ships fired at and searched on
the high seas, and our citizens murdered or
imprisoned by Spain. Yes, he can see uumoved
every principle of humanity and civilization
grossly violated on our border by that Power
but he bristles up like porcupine over
little red tape difficulty between himself and
the representative of nation with which
there is no cause or possibility of war. We
disconnect General Grant with this little i'm
broglio with Russia. The blame must be
attributed entirely to the imprudence of Mr..
Catacazy aud the incapacity Of the Secretary
of State. If Mr.. Fish will retire from Office
as Mr.. Catacazy leaves the country there will
be an end of the trouble.

Cheap Jack JournaIsn-Its Jcal0usies and
General Discomfort.

The Cheap Jack journal is an unhappy and
disagreeable institution. Punched in pocket,
cramped in enterprise, yet not wanting in am
bition, it sees the great success achieved by
the more solid and sensible portion of the
press with feelings very much akin
to those a half-starved Bohemian may be i'm
aQined to entertain as he stands outside the
templates the feasting going on within. Tho
HERALD is, of course, the forbidden belmont
cos of the hungry Cheap Jack journal, which
stands outside the pale of real newspaper life,
starving and sbivering, and views with jealous
anger the tempting display in its envied rivals
coumns-dishes varying from the substantial
piece de resistance to the highly seasoned
entree and the delicate hGut d9uore. 1t lioks
its longing lips with rage at the sight Of the
well-contented crowds who devour the
daily feast served up to them from
the HERALD larder with q relish and
satisfaction to which the few famished
boarders at the Cheap Jack establishment
are strangers. On Sunday last the HERALD
procured and published exclusively the long
looked for letters in the Fisk Mansfield case,
which led to the suit between the late Prince
of Erie and his frail inamorata, as well as to
the cowardly assassination Of the principal
actor in this curious drama. Courts had inter-
vened to keep the correspondence from the
public eye convenient judges had made all
sorts of extra-judicial orders in reference to
the letters, but the HERALD, with true news
paper enterprise, obtained possession Of them
DESPITE the efforts of the bench, the bar and
the DULLES, and laid them before the world.
The following day the city journals transferred
the correspondence to their columns, giving
the HERALD credit for it either directly or indi-
rectly, as newspaper courtesy and fairness
demand, and as is always the practice of the
HERALD towards its contemporaries in similar
cases. But an English Cockney paper. Of the
Cheap Jack order, published in New York,
could not make itself as comfortable over the
affair as the circumstances would permit, and
serve up to its few starving readers q solid
HERALD dish one day old, which would have
been infinitely preferable to their ordinary

yesterday for consideration, and Mr.. Sumner
made speech 10 support of his amendment,
which is, to tack on to that bill his Supple
mentary Civil Rights bill, emitting coored
persons to occupy drawing room saloons on
steamboats, and palace cars on railroads, and
to be accommodated at the most arstocratic
hotels. That is the boon which the imprac-
ticable Sumner must have in exchange for
general amnesty.
Several bills were introduced in the Senate
for railroad grants and other matters, and,
contrary to parliamentary practice, petition
from Chinese residing in California for
reduction of duty on rice was presented, re-
ceived and referred.

the merchant receives $5, 800, the balance OF
1900 being the penalty he pays for his at
tempt to rob the revenue. There is no law
suit, and if by any error of judgment the OFF,
Gals make mistake in the seizure the mer-
chant is protected by his ten per cent excess
of the invoice, which is, in reality, fair
profit.
Illustrating the latter possibility it is related
that an American in London imported some
new Yankee piece Of ingenuity in the shape
of household ornament The low price of
the goods startled the officials, and they paid
him his ten per cent profit. A month after
an invoice Of double the amount, at the same
rates, came along, and that was seized too.
The American called on the Custom House
people and asked how much they wanted next
time, as he was thoroughly satisfied with the
trade.
Such system administered by body OF
officials looking to have their vigilance re-
warded by the true prize of promotion to the
worthiest, could not fail of its mark. In pri-
vate firms men are employed in the necessity
of trade in whose hands large trusts are laid,
and the reason that there is less defalcatiou
in private business than in public is because
the man knows that his tenure of Office is
on good behavior, and that well-earned
competency for life is worth more, apart from
the moral consideration, than O temporary
gain with strong chance of State Prison and
a blackened character for life. Your guerilla
government official must found his honesty on
the purest moral motives, which, however, are
not always safeguard enough. To the merchant,
too, the system would be blessing. His goods
would require no consular certificate, and they
would stand on their absolute value alone,
without the help Of signature, which is
farce In itself. Seizure would bring an
honest merchant no great harm, and the gov
arnmental profit on goods seized with proper
cause would be direct. The circuml0cution
of the courts would be avoided and the loss
to the government and the merchant in law
yers fees saved.
regulations, our revenue laws would prove to
be true economy to the government and peo-
pie. We should have less dishonesty, by re-
moving the cause-an irregulary graded and
unnecessarily extended tariff-and the oppor-
tunity-a labyrinth of defective laws and regu-
lations The Selling OF this pre- sentiment
Of the case by Congress, examining it and
testing it, is at once desirable, and soon will be
a necessity with them. The general order
and carriage extortions, the breaking and
robbery Of packages, the brides accepted and
backmail levied in the shape of threats or
compromises, are only what appear on the
outside. ooh, reform it altogether!"

SEIGNIORAaE ON GOLD CoIN.-Senator Cole,
of California, has introduced bill into the
United States Senate to abolish the seignior-
age or coinage charge in the MINIS of the
United States for converting gold bullion into
coins. This is good idea, for, however
trifling the charge may be in particular cases,
in the aggregate 1t forms considerable tax
upon our gold producers. The bill has been
referred to the Committee on Finance.

The Literary Yachtsman.

Commodore Ashbury makes a practice of
coming out, like the birds, in the spring.
Just as the vigor of winter is passing away,
when their little notes are heard in the trees,
the English Commodore's notes-not always
little ones, by the way-are read in the
London newspapers. Ashbury's letters are
as familiar to the lovers of light literature as
are Chesterfeld's letters to the students of the
etiquette and elegancies of life. The Com
modore must, in fact, be regarded as the
Ready Letter Writer of the century, and, if he
sometimes fails in fast sailing, he can never
be beaten in profuse writing. His opening
production this season appears in the Field
of December 3, and relates to the unsuccessful
attempt of the Commodore to carry off the
Americas Cup last season with that highly
respectable yacht, the Livonia, built espe-
cially for that purpose. Unlike most of his
literary productions the letter is brief. 1t
does not even contain the accustomed division
into firstles, secondlies, thirdlies, &C., with
which the Commodores readers are now 80
familiar. But as it promises to ''the COM
mittees of twelve clubs, ~ in few weeks, "a
resume of the negotiations generally. and the
reasons which induced me to sail under pro-
test for unfairness and unsportsmanlike pro-
ceedings," we may anticipate another food of
yachting literature from the gallant Com
modore's pen, as far ahead of all that has pro-
ceeded it as the Livonia was behind her
several competitors in New York waters.

BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL.-The perfec-
ton of kindness in killing was reached yester-
day at the Astor House restaurant, where the
following humane notice attracted the attention
of voracious crowds in the search of huitres en-
coquiltes :-"Oysters chloroformed and opened
d la s. for the p. of G. to A." The blissful
bivalves awaiting the approach Of the coma
tose state whistled plaintively among their
little ice Berghs. Some Of them wept for joy.
One old Saddle Rock was deluded into the
thought that it was happy childhood with him
once more, and he warbled, "Put me in my
little bed" He was rudely awakened by a
voice proceeding from the cavernous mouth Of
ean-jawed, long-faced individual, with the
expression of an undertaken out of place, de-
handing "a dozen on the half she'll" Bergh
was happy the oyster wasn't, which was I'M
grateful. He thought of where he was going
after death.

THE GRAND DUKE AND THE BUFFALO,
We publish to-day an interesting account of
the doings of General Sheridan's hunting
party in the West from the time they
left the railroad on Saturday until
yesterday morning. After pleasant
ride of fifty miles in wagon,
the Grand Duke and General Phil, headed by
Buffalo Bill, the renowned Western Indian
scout, and followed by distinguished party,
arrived at Willow Greek, Nebraska, and were
most sumptuously entertained in the
Camp Alexis. On the following morn
ing the announcement was made that fifteen
miles distant were herd of buffalo, and in
q short time the Duke and party were armed,
equipped and started for the scene of the
sport. General Custer and the Duke made
the first charge, and thougha huge animal
had made up its mind to Ego for the
Prince" he very soon despatched him with
lead and steel; and no sooner was
the brute laid at his feet than out came the
Dnkes hunting knife, and-'Tally-ho ~
off came the animals tail, which was carried
to the camp as trophy. The Duke was
delighted and telegraphed to st. Petersburg
the intelligence that he had killed the first
''horned monster" that met his gaze.

which the revenue suffers most, arises from its
