Tbe National Finances.

When Mr.. Boutwell, was elected senator
from Massachusetts 1t was hoped, If not be-
lieved, that the President would appoint, as
his successor in the treasury department,
man OF broad commercial education; one
well yersed in the principles OF finance, and
capable OF forming and executing fiscal
plan which should lessen tho burdens upon
the people, and lead, In due time, to re-
sumption Of specie payments. The policy
OF Mr.. Boutwell,, II policy that can be called
which was only consistent In its inconslst'
ency, has had a bad effect upon the COM
merce OF the country. The certainty that
The treasury would, without warning, throw
millions OF money upon The market 10 ex'
change for government bonds, has unsettled
values and made every kind OF business In
secure. It is true that the Wall street spec
ulators grew rich by their knowledge OF The
intentions Of the government Pactolus, but
the people bore the brunt OF the fluctuations
10 stocks and merchandise, the many losing
what the few had gained. Then, again, the
expectation that Mr. Boutwell, would come
to the relief OF the citizens whenever The
course OF trade, or their own schemes, caused
a tightness in the money market, encouraged
wild operations. Instead OF relying on their
own prudence and sagacity, To save them
from harm, the New York spectators have
been taught that, whenever they were In
trouble, special providence, in the shape
OF the bulky Boutwell,, would hasten to their
assistance. There is no practice more de-
moralizing than one which leads rash deal
ers to count on sure rescue from every
predlcament iu which they put themselves.
This Is not the way in which merchants and
financiers learn to walk alone. But there is
to be no change. President Grant, some
weeks ago, told Washington correspond
ent that ono change was contemplated In
"the financial policy OF the government"
and Mr.. Richardson succeeds Mr.. Boutwell,.
This surprising Nomination causes pro-
found dissatisfaction to business men,
anu 6V0u lilo tuclOulOuo A>S" %S1AH ~"''~~
is raving about it. President Grant, 1t
is evident, does not attach any impoF-
tance to the recommendations and re-
Quests of the mercantile community. And
there is, in the nomination OF Mr.. Rich
ardson, significant expression OF the
determination to avoid any reform In the
administration of the National finances.
Mr.. Richardson will follow bliudly the tor
tuous path which NJ. Boutwell, marked out.
The President is satisfied with himself TO
him, his reelection establishes the wisdom
OF his official course In every particular.
What is, Is my work. What is, Is right !!
This is the evident conclusion which Presi'
dent Grant has reached. What his policy
was 10 the first term 1t will he In the second.
The letter OF atfectionate sympathy 70 she
perured Coliax and the nomination Of Mr..
Richardson are straws which show which
way the wind Is blowing.

POLITICAL NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS.

The Republican state Convention In Wisconsin
will be held at Madison, August q.
The Chicago hlte1-Oced seems happy to learn
that the administration proposes to maintain
strict neutrality in regard to General Buffers
election as Governor OF Massachusetts,
The Springfield Qll.) Journal argues that the
transportation problem can be best solved TO the
satisfaction OF the farmer by dispensing, in a
great measure with transportatton-by creating a
home market for consumption in bringing the agri-
cultural and manufacturing producer directly to-
gether-that is, by establishing manufactures in
the West to compete with the British and Eastern
manufacturers.
The Clinton Qowa) Register hits the nail on the
head when IL suggests that "whe the farmers are
organizing to secure reform in the administration
Of our government, it would be well for them to
express their opposition to the extension OF
patents. Why should the poor widow be compelled
TO pay sos for q sewing machine that costs the
manufacturer only $15Y' and the Register might
have added, when that manufacturer Is already
rolling in unbounded wealth?
The farmers in Livingston county, H., are max
ing use of postal cards disseminate their partic
ular views. Not q bad idea.
The Chicago Times endeavors to show show
Lyman Trumbuls moral teacher became Chief
Justice of Utah." matter OF not much interest to
anybody.
number OF republican papers In Illinois de-
clare that the republican party is the true farmers
party, and advise republican farmers TO stand fast
by the old party.
1t has been remarked that somebody In the Third
district OF Massachusetts, who will be nominated
for Congress vice william whiting deceased) the
middle Of october and elected November 4, will
find that Congressional back pay due him from
June 29-$3. 225-ostensiby for service rendered !
Then his forward pay viii be S625 per month.
The salary Of the Governor OF Nebraska ia osten-
sibIy $1,000 per annum, but ''pickings and steal
ings" enable 1t to reach $4,000.
The liberal republicans in OHIO ''st lve." A call
has been issued by the chairman of the Liberal Re-
publican State Executive Committee for State
Convention, to be held in Columbus on the 3otn
July. No limitation is made as to the number OF
delegates to be sent but 1t Is recommended that
shall be represented by at least one delegate for
every 500 votes cast for Horace Greeley for Presi-
dent OF the United States
The Cincinnati Enquirer (democratic) Is Of opin-
ion that the democratic party will be In existence
and voting its tickets long after this generation has
passed away. 1t is one OF the hardest parties to
kill that we ever heard OF, and so those who want
Q new party will md OUT"
Referring to the call Tor the Liberal Republican
State Convention In Ohio the Cincinnati Enquirer
says General Brinkerhof the chairman OF the
Executive Committee, proposes to join hands
with the Allen county deserters and march to the
millennium" Is the atmosphere not already too
hot for marching toward any sort OF democratic
millennium

The dedication will be attended with appropriate
ceremonies at Yokohama.
The monument was gotten on board yesterday,
and, by singular coincidence, the Bombay, the
steamer which ran the oneida down, was lying
within two hundred yards at the time. II was
with dificulty that transportation f0r the wefghty
blocks could be had, and Captain wilson, nearing
