know, as We have felt all along, that he
was In no ways responsible for IT, and that he
will visit the offence, if not disproved, With
severe punishment. The story that there
are Senators on this committee who will not
examine this question thoroughly, because it
might screen the President at the expense J.
his military family. Is astounding. Certainly
no such evidence as that sent to us from Wash
ington has been elected by the committee in
their elaborate investigation. Let il be brought
out at once. We can have no triAing no
concealment in the matter. The honor of our
President is dear to US, and it must be pro-
tected, no matter who suffers.
One word to President Grant He is said
to mediate coup dftat in New York politics
and among our officials here. The country
expects this, and no President has more GER
tainly answered the country's expectations.
He chung to st. Domingo until it was feared
he had Numbered. Suddenly he threw the
whole matter into the hands of Congress and
the people. He supported the late Collector
until his party began to mutiny, and, although
expressing his own personal esteem and con-
fdence in that gentleman, he abandoned him
to the wishes Of the party. In these
things he showed consummate statesmanship.
He believed in st. Domingo; he was fond OF
the late Collector but he permitted no favorite
policy and no personal esteem for q man to
estrange him from his party and the people.
Let him take another step and thoroughly
revolutionize the whole civil service in New
York, furnishing the guilty, removing the
tainted, discarding every one whose reputation
has been widowed by the slightest breath Of
scandal. Then he can enter upon his canvass
for denomination and reelection, confident
of a triumph as splendid and decisive as that
which came to Washington, Jackson and Lin-
coin. The people are ripe for this, and they
expect IL from one who has been pre-eminently
the peoples President.

The most remarkable case brought before
the United States Supreme Court during the
present term was the one argued yesterday
by Senator Carpenter in favor of the admis-
sion of an editress to the Illinois bar as an
attorney and COUNSELLOR t-law, as set forth in
our despatch from Washington. Mr.. Carpenter
treated the decision of the Supreme Court of
Illinois with becoming respect, although he
did not agree with the conclusion there arrived
at, that Myra Bardwell, being married
woman, would not be liable on contracts,
either express or implied, between her and
her clients. The applicant it was conceded,
possessed ample qualifications, and therefore q
de Jacto right. After wading through the
labyrinth Of the female suffrage movement
and disentangling his clients cause, as far as
1t was possible, from the policy of Mrs.
Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, he said it was
not merely, in his opinion, question
of woman's rights, but question
of mans rights 'Just In proportion
to the equality of woman with man
in the enjoyment Of social and civil rights and
privileges, both sexes are proportionately ad-
vanced in refinement and oil that eunoble
human nature" This is the language of the
learned advocate, and 80 far has he advanced
in his views that be believes If women were adj
mitted to the polls at election they would have
more influence in the maintenance of order and
decorum than soldiers and marines. The Sena-
tor would admit the lady to the bar, Of course.

THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH IN CoNaREss, 1t
is said that the Senate Committee on Post
Offices has decided to report in favor of the
Postal Telegraph bill, which Mr.. Hubbard has
urged in the House, with only trifling amend
ments. We hope broad and liberal measure
will be passed by Congress during the present
session to connect the telegraph system with
the postal service, and thus give the public the
means Of cheap and rapid communication.
But let there be no job in it. II Congress is
prepared to adopt such q measure the sooner
it becomes law the better. Prompt action,
with view to the public interest only, might

The MEXICAN BORDER RUFFIANs are maxi
ing things very lively on our Southern
frontier. Meantime, as neither Congress nor
President have any time to spare for these
Mexican depredations, they will probably 60
on until they ripen into border war, with a
Texan volunteer expedition in occupation of
Matamoros. Then, perhaps, we shall have a
message from General Grant to Congress on
the subject, and, perhaps, before inter-
vention, it may be the policy of General Grant
to let these border feuds ripen into state of
actual war. Who knows?

will require great moral effort on the part Of
the people, the legislative bodies and the gen.
eral government to overcome this influence.
The first step should be for Congress to cut
down to the lowest figure possible the revenue
of the government. thus removing the tempta-
ton to extravaganza and corruption and dis
pensng with an army of employees. Let US
have strict economy in the federal government,
the States, cities and the country generally.
Above all, let parties cease to use the federal
revenues, Custom Houses and offices as ma
chimes for political purposes.

Chlselhurst nnd Versailles.

We give to-day, from one of the HERALD's
correspondents in England, an interesting ao-
count of New Years Day at the little Court at
Camden House, Chiselhurst. 1t is not how
ever, that particular event-though that In
itself affords substance for refection-but the
activity of the imperialists in and around Chisel
hurst which demands attention. The Emperor
is as confident as ever that the Bonapartes
will yet be called back to preside over and
guide the destinies of the French nation.
Everything, he claims, points to such con-
clusion. Ignoring altogether the Bourbon
claimants for the throne, and allowing them in
silence to settle their own right divine difficult
ties, Louis Napoleon gives President Theirs q
few more months of power then comes Gam
beta, and with him anarchy and confusion;
and after this the Bonapartes. In brief, these
are the sentiments of the imperial exile and
his opinion of the French situation at the
present moment. True to his declaration OF
months ago, he bides his time, satisfied that It
is coming. Still he by no means remains JIM
active. His agents are vigilant and untiring.
He knows, through his emissaries, the feeling
towards him and his restoration to power In
the Cabinets of ST. Petersburg and Berlin.
Prince Bismarck regards with no amiable
appreciation the course Of the repIblic in
France. He thinks of moneys due and Ger
man soldiers murdered on French soil. The
administration of President Theirs, it must
be admitted, is not such as to assure tho per-
manency of the republic, and this conviction Is
expressed with full appreciation Of the
difficulties he has to contend with. The Bour-
bon intrigues in France for the re-establish-
ment of the monarchy are quite a. active,
but not as ingeniously concealed, AZ the i'm
perialst plottings at Chiselhurst for the restora-
ton of the Bonapartes. Judging from the
facts which are every day presented, as well
as the mail advices from abroad, the i'm
perialists are playing skilful and well
covered up game Only what they want to
make known is presented to the public gaze, and
the rest we must arrive at from inference. The
French army of to-day is imperialist; the idle
mechanic, tradesman and day laborer of the
large cities are imperialist; the French peasant
is imperialist, and large portion of the
clergy Is mbued with the same sentiment In
the ranks Of the Communists Napoleon has
his admirers: President Theirs knows very
well this to be the case; but the very silence
observed by this fearful Power is ominous, to
say the least of it. If it was openly hostile
it might take shape which possibly could be
encompassed. MacMahon to-day, as COM
mander-in-chief Of the army, is as much
sphinx as was his master when he sat upon
the throne of France. Looking towards
Cbiselhurst and Versailles, and considering
the aims and aspirations of the leading spirits
at each place, there is much that is pregnant
with interest to the immediate future Of
France

savage and blind traditions OF former
administrations. Every Christian heart in
America must throb kindly towards President
Grant for his humanity and good temper
in dealing with the hayward children of the
forest. In the Mormon question he has trampled
upon an evil as gigantic as that of slavery
upon polygamy as the remaining
'twin relic of barbarism," has been scandal
to our age. And so in every instance of admin
istrative policy! At home and abroad he has
preserved the honor of the flag and the
purity Of administration. Crime and NAL
feasance in Office have been severely punished !;
and we have President who will have no
parley with roguery or incapacity in any
department of the government.
We have said that President Grant is a
patient and much-enduring man. He has
shown this in New York, and especially in our
Custom House matters. Men close to him, or
at least claiming to represent him, have
intrigued themselves into positions where,
from avarice or an unhealthy yearning for
power, they have brought scandal to the adj
ministration. This general order business
has been no more or less than scandal. The
merchants of New York have been held in
terrorism. A custom has grown up which is
little more than the alliance Of gang
of freebooters to stand over every cargo
that comes to the port and exact "tolls." In
the olden times bandits were wont to exact
what they called tolls" from honest mer-
chants carrying their goods to London, or
worthy husbandmsn driving their cattle into
the lowlands. This same custom has been per-
mitted in New York. We have no doubt that
our Custom House general order people felt
they were doing an honest trade; but the coun-
try does not 80 consider II. We agree with
General Grant, that the arrangement made BY
Bixby, by which five thousand dollars year
were sent to an ofioer In the War Department
a. tolls" to the administration, was an
inexcusabls transaction. and We are glad 70
