Campaign Notices by Greeley.

"Grant and his policy deserve the
very highest credit. t."-Horace Greeley.
"The people of the United States
know General Grant-bave known all
about him since Donelson and Vicks-
burg; they do not know his slanderers,
and do not care to know them" y
Horace Greeley.
"While asserting the right of every
Republican to his untrammeled choice
of a candidate for next President un-
til nomination is made. l venture
to suggest that General Grant will be
far better qualified for that moment
Gus trust in 1872 than he was in 1868"
Horace Greeley.
"We are led by him who first
taught our armies to conquer in the
West, and subsequently in the East
also. Richmond would not come to
US until We sent Grant after 1t, and
then it had to come. He has never
been defeated and never will be. He
will be as great and successful on the
field of politics as on that Of arms" +"
Horace Greeley.
ga Democratic national triumph
means a restoration to power Of those
who deserted their seats in Congress
and their places under the last Demo
cratic President to plunge the country
into the Red sea of secession and re-
bellion. Though you paint an inch
thick, to this complexion you must
come at least. The brain, the heart,
the soul of the present Democratic
party is the rebel element at the South,
with its northern allies and sympa-
thizers. ."-Hordce Greeley.
Yes; Gen. Grant has failed to graf
ify some eager aspirations, and has
thereby incurred some intense hatreds
These do not and will not fail, aid his
Administration will prove at least
equally vital. We shall hear lamen.
tation after lameutation over his fail
ures from those whose wish is father tc
the thought; but the American peo
pie let them pass unheeded. Theil
strong arm bore him thriumphantly
through the war and into the White
House, and they still uphold and sus
tain him; they never failed and nevel
will.-HOrdcs Greeley.

"of the country are in full sympathy with the
"objects of the Peace Society,"" and that even
Gen. Grant, whether he may be considered as
still "a leading man" or not, "is as firm
" friend of peace as there is in the country"
But there might be such a thing as peace at
home as well as peace with foreign nations; !;
and of the former we have hardly had sur
felt during the last four years. The whole pol
icy of the President and of his immediate
personal supporters has been anything but
peaceful. They have undertaken to live and
to thrive as a party by fostering spirit OF
uncompromising antagonism between the North
and the South. He has sedulously cultivated
the passions and resentments of the civil war,
and in the work of restoring the Union has
relied mainly upon military rather than upon
moral force. We do not know that Gen. Grant
is particularly desirous of war, but he has not
exhibited any particular ability in keeping out
of it. Under such circumstances, if the Ameri-
can Pelce Society and Mr.. Gilmore can both
together do anything to promote more pacific
state o, things, we trust that they will join
forces and play and preach together.

rs THIS LAWP

Onr attention has been called to o recent
decisim by Commissioner Douglass, in re-
lation to the tax on tobacco, which seems
extraordinary and unjustifable. The Tariff
and Tax bill recently passed by Congress fixed
the tax on tobacco, after July 1, at 20 cents
per found, instead of 16 and 80 cents as here
tofon. The same bill provided that all
"tolacCo and snuff now stored in any export
"boided warehouse shall, on and after
"Juk 1, 1872, be subject to the same
" tax as lis provided by this act" The
question somehow arose, what tax should
be paid on tobacco stored in bonded ware
house, in the interval between June 8, the
date Of the passage of the act and July I, the
date at which the reduction goes into effect
The answer would seem TO be obvious enough
that such tobacco, from and after July 1,
should be subject to the reduced rates. In
deed, there is no authority in the bill to collect
the old taxes on any tobacco after the 1st Of
July. In spite Of the extreme simplicity of the
case here presented, Commissioner Douglass
has decided that all tobacco bonded between
June and July 1, and withdrawn for con-
sumption after the new law goes into effect,
must pay the old taxes of 39 and 1G cents!
Mr.. Douglass bases this remarkable decision
on the words of the bill which we quoted
above" all tobacco and snuff now stored in
"any export bonded warehouse" &c. To-
bacco put in store on June 90 does not come
under the head of tobacco stored at the date
of the passage of the bill hence it must pay
the old rates. To show the absurdity of this
decision, let us suppose three lots of tobacco
to be bonded, the first on the 5th of June, the
second on the Goth of June, the third on the
9Th of july and all to be withdrawn and the
taxes paid Oh the 1st of August. According
to this ruling of the Commissioner the to-
bacco stored on the 5th of June and 9Th OF
July would pay 90 cents and that stored on the
Goth of June would pay either 12 cents more or
cents less, according as it fell within the first
or second class of the old law. This is plainly
in direct contradiction of the spirit of the
new law, and not at all warranted, we submit,
by anything in its letter. We may add that
this arbitrary construction of the act was not
known or suspected by any one in the tobacco
trade until seven days after the passage OF
the law. Many thousands of pounds OF to-
bacco were stored in the mean time, which the
owners, to their great surprise, now find bur-
dened with an extra tax of IL cents per pound.
The only way of getting rid of this seems to be
to export the tobacco to the nearest foreign port,
and then to bring it back again. AS this can be
done for two or three cents pound, 1t Is not
at all likely that the United States Will gain
anything by the veXatious decision OF Athe
Commissioner

they accepted the supplemental article, whioh
was an explicit confession of sharp practice in
our Case. England, dissatisfied Win
the Senate's amendments, refused 10
90 before the Board of Arbitration without
still further guarantees against any more
cheating. And after few preliminary pre-
lenses of resistance, our Government agrees
TO this also, on the ground that "we must
"give England no excuse for withdrawing
" from the Arbitration"
The Treaty has already failed. 1t cannot
now accomplish the work that all generous
men hoped for when it was framed. All its
moral value has been frittered away by petty
and undignifed pickering on both sides. 1t
may end at last in our gaining a
few millions of money at the sacrifice
of every shred of dignity and self-respect.
But this will be worse than if it had never
been. At every new wrangle, some addi-
tional fetter upon our future liberty of action
is forged. The Treaty has become so
important, in the eyes of the Pres
ident, that the past and the future
are alike to be offered up to it. Tho longer
its final settlement is delayed, the more we
are now likely to lose by it, unless the whole
matter is taken out of the incompetent hands
which have brought it where it is.

ONE NOPE RRTREAT

There have been wild and improbable ru-
mors afoat for several days about the firm
and unyielding attitude of our Government in
regard to the British demand for the post
ponement of the Arbitration at Geneva. 1t
has been said that Gen. Schenck had received a
dispatch announcing the unalterable inten-
ton of our Government to yield nothing
more; that Mr.. Bancroft Davis had been in
structed to say in the Conference what was
thought in Washington of the recent conduct
of the British Government. 1t really looked
for a moment as if our Government, hunted
to corner, had turned at last. But we print
this morning semi-Offcial dispatch from
Washington which, doubtless, contains the re-
suit of the Cabinet meeting yesterday in re-
gard to the question at Geneva. And this
news has the same pale color of all which
preceded it. We surrender once more. Our
Government will not oppose the English de-
mand for postpOnement. We will not
Join in it, but the British Govern
ment want it, and if it is refused they will
retire from the Arbitration. Our Government
is resolved to do nothing which will give the
English Cabinet any excuse for withdrawing.
| This idea has become a monOmana with Gen.
Grant and Mr.. Fish, They seem incapable OF
! the exercise of their reasoning faculties
when confronted with the awful possibility OF
the failure of the Treaty. To prevent this

Recent advices from China say that the
young Emperor will probably be married on
the 10Th of October next and soon after
ascend the throne The event will no noted
with some anxiety by those nations which have
large commercial interests in China, as the policy
of the new Emperor relative to foreigners
may be more or less liberal than that OF
Prince Kung and the Empress Dowager
Croakers profess to see evil signs in the fact
that the future Empress has been chosen from
the family of a high official of the Empire
opposed to foreign influence; but this choice
is more likely to be the result Of accident
than of design. In Japan, on the other hand,
a cheerful feeling prevails among the foreign
residents on account of the favorable prospect
of opening the tea districts to general trade
The Japanese have shown marvellous WILL
ingness to meet foreign advance half way
and now that a desire to have the whole
country open to trade is made manifest the
expectation that the tea districts will be thus
relieved from restrictions is natural one.

LET US HAVE PEACE!

The American Peace Society held public
meeting in Boston on Sunday evening last,
and among the speakers was our friend DR..
George B. Loring, who doubtless found the
deep serenity of the occasion pleasant relief
after the Philadelphia turmoil, and the mill
tary atmosphere of Generals Grant and Will
sons Convention. Still, the Doctor took good
care to have it understood that his peace
principles are of the mitigated sort. While he
depicted the horrors of war, he enthusiast
cally set forth its blessings, and was too
cautious to say anything about keeping
whole conquered people under the rule Of
standing army. This was branch of the
war question which all the Boston
speakers sagaciOusy avoided. We cheerfully
give DR.. Loring credit for one thing.
Although he must have been sorely tempted
to do SO, he did not claim Gen. Grant as
non resistant of the Quaker type. 1t was re-
served for another orator substantially to do
that; while the Rev. DR.. Burns of London, an
excellent clergyman, we believe, was present
to couple ingeniously the names Of Queen Vic
toria and Gen. Grant. and to bury the hatchet
after manner which we have noticed is
more successful upon platforms than in cab
inets.
We are not surprised to find another
speaker, the Rev. j. b. Miles, apparently pos
sessed with the idea-nOt at all new or orig
inal one-that Nr. Gilmore's Peace Jubilee will
have composing effect upon all international
politics, and work miracles in the way
of changing swords into plowshares. Nj.
Miles thought it "the most suitable time for
the anniversary of the Society, when an army
of singers from AL parts of the country and
"players from all the countries of Europe were
assembled" We would not say a woN in
disparagement of this sort of slip-slop if we
did not fear It's mischievous effect in Washing
ton If once the State Department gets it into
its head that the Alabama muddle can be
cleared and arranged by fddling and drumming,
we shall cease to hope for any adjustment
which will leave penny in the national pocket
or a shirt upon the national back. We hope
that Mr.. Fish will not too rashly rely upon
the Jubilee programmes. They may be quite
as effective as his own correspondence, but
there is no reason TO suppose that they will
be any more so.
We are charmed to learn, as we do from the
! Hon. T. S. Tobey. that all the leadin men

opposed to self-made men in general because they
rise above the conservatism of mediOcrty and by an
antthess of feeling fly to the opposite pole of the

those thus given to "fying to the opposite pole, so
to speak, also TO explode old fogy theories and
new tangled ones as weP and Mr.. Greeley wodld
do this " at the expense of the people" lie would
