THE New York World admits that Mr..
Miguel de ALBANIA has offered every oppor,
tunitysat his command, as the agent of the
Cuban Republic, for an investigation into
its charges that corrupt influences have
been used to further the cause Of Cuban
independence in this country; but blinded
as 1t is by the glitter of Spanish gold, it de-
6lines to make the profered investigation.
Ills about time that Mr.. ALBANIA should
learn to avoid controversies with the paid
organ of the Spanish Government In this
country. Its circulation is limited, its in
fluence is nowhere perceptible, and Its real
animus and its putrescent corruption is so
apparent that gentleman Of Mr.. Aldama's
acknowledged responsibility simply belittles
or forgets himself when he pays any atten-
ton 10 its charges. -...

THIRD TERN POLITICS.

A large number Of our contemporaries
are just now sorely troubled about the third
term business. The editor of the Courier
journal has come to the conclusion that q
third term for General Grant is almost in
eyitable; and the New York Tribune quotes
aportion Of recent article in this journal
Is proof positive that the President means
TO be again candidate. Nothing in the
article in question jastiies the conclusions
OF our New York contemporary, for we did
not either advocate reelection for the
President, or even hint that o denomination
would be accepted by him. So far as we
have been able to see and judge, the Presi,
dent Is less affected by the entire discussion
than any man In the country, certainly less
than any one of the gentlemen who believe
that 1t Is their especial mission. as the
gigantic molders of public opinion, to make
and unmake governments and presidents,
Whatever ideas the President has on the
subject he keeps to himself, and is likely TO

GEN. BRADLEY 7. JOHNSON was the orator
of the day at the decoration Of the Confederate
soldiers graves In Baltimore, on Wednesday
last. The following gem from his address is
truly refreshing: 81 do not believe that we
fought in any 'lost cause denounce the
phrase as unworthy Of our people and their
position. Our cause was that of every lover
of liberty, in all time, the world over, the
right of a people to govern themselves, and 1t
never has been, never can be slost.' APP
plause.l It was the cause of Leouidas and his
three hundred; IL was the cause Of Brutus and
the Horatli; it was the cause of Tell and Win
kelreid, of Sobiesh and Kosciuscko, Of VII
liam Of Orange, and Of George Washington,
and Of Robert E. Lee. Icoutinued applause
Often it has gone down before overwhelming
force in one generation and with one people.
But told by historians, painted by artists, sung
by poets, through all time, It constantly reap
pears, in the march Of the human race, as the
constant selfperpetuating principle Of pro-
eress and development and civilization, to
those who have the love Of liberty and the
courage and the viii to seek to enjoy it,. The
majority Of the world believes that Gen. John
son & Co. fought to keep four or Eve millions
Of blacks in slavery. Again, Mr.. johnson said
and was spplanded. for the saying of 1t:
Though her body (Msryland's) was in the
Union her heart and soul were with the South.

she aided the side to which her affections

THE Salt Lake City papers are discussing
the probability of the passage ofthe Poland
bill by the Senate and the expulsion oil
Apostle Cannon by the House in great heat
The Tribune, Republican, has the most i'm
plicit faith in the steadfastness of the two
third majority in its opposition to polygamy
and ''blood atonement." Chief Justice
Mexican also, as an old Republican member
Of the House. undoubtedly fancies that
there is now the same steadfast adherence
to principle in that body which character
lied ii in those early days of the party of
his experience. With what sad disappcint-
ment will he learn Of the detection of three
members of the Committee on Elections of
whom better things were expected. He
knew that money was collected and for
warded here for the most corrupt purposes,
but he supposed that Mormon gold would
be found utterly impotent when weighed
in the balance with Republican and moral
principles. In some cases lodging the enemy
and Sinking battle is the worst kind of
treason. A coward, either morally or phys
icaIy, is often worse than an open traitor.
This question of polygamy is now ripe for
decision. Those who are opposed to it
must face the music squarely or be counted
with its friends. The House will call on
the Election Committee for report. Those
courageous men of the Republican party
who have determined upon this course will
not be banked in their effor is, and there
sre enough such to compel square vote
upon the question. They have higher re-
gard for their moral and political reputa-
tons, and for that of the House and the
nation, than for the gold of Brigham Young
George Q. Cannon and Ben. Holiday.

THE discussion in the Senate Wednesday
upon the moiety bill showed the truth of
our repeated assertions that the honest
merchant, engaged in legitimate trade
neither wishes the repeal Of the moisties
nor the dismissal of the detectives and in
formers. nor. yet again, the repeal Of the
forfeiture clause unless the fine shall be
placed at three times the value of the arti-
Gle smuggled. These views were commu-
nicated to the committee by Mr.. A. T.
Stewart. His interest is advanced by the
prevention Of smuggling. Honorable men
do not have two sets of invoices When
false invoices are made out they are so
made on purpose to cheat somebody, and 1t
is safe to say that man who uses them to
cheat others will cheat the Government
also if he can. Merchants are not the igno-
rant fools which their friends in Congress
are just now striving to make them out to
be. Messrs. Conkling and Edmunds sue.

THERE seems to be no ope that any bill
amending the law creating the Commission
ers of Claims will pass Congress during the
present session, which is great misfortune
to the loyal people of the South! This re.
salt is alleged to be largely due to the
Committee on War Claims of the House,
which seems toShave allowed itschairman
to run the machine pretty much as he
pleased. The legal distractions Of Grotius,
Vattel and Puffendorf may be proper
enough in their place, but in QUE judg-
ment, they are sadly out of place in consid-
ering the questions growing out of q purely
civil war at a time when the best states
men in public life are striving to allay the
sectional animosities engendered by that
unhappy struggle The committee,may be

THE House bill for the repeal Of the San:
born contracts has'been reported hvorably
By the Finance Committee TO the Senate.
Is it possible that Senators know what this
neansf The. people understand that II
means that Sanborn and his confreres have
lists Of delinquent taxes which are past due
and cellectable under these contracts, and
which are not collectable in any other man
ner- amounting to about thirty millions.
The passage of this bill will let these delin-
quents go scot-free. They are rich and
able to pay. To forgive them these delin.
qnercies is simply robbing-that Is the
word-the people of this immense amount
of money. And it comes out of the labor
ing classes-the consumers.

and demands. without the slightest thought

This reticence. ofcourse, Is very annoying
to the editors who would like to make Of
the Presidency Q summer sensation. 1t Is
annoying 70 large number OF gentlemen,
and to their friends, who have thousand
little schemes on the subject, and who are
m the habit of running to newspaper offices
et the most unreasonable hours with small
paragraphs eulogistic of their particular
candidates. If General Grant would only
BAY something one way or the other these
gentlemen would know what'to say and do,
hut this uncertainty is simply terrible.
There are as many thousands who are strain.
ing their eyes for the coming man, some
looking to Paris for Mr.. Washburne, to Mr..
Morton and Mr.. Blaine, and Mr.. Butler and
Mr.. Carpenter. &C., &c. 1t Is really pain
full to be kept in such suspense, to see so
many golden hours FILTERED away in idle
speculation. The weather Is warm, and 1t
is really hard to be compelled to make the
tour of 30 many streets and avenues every
day and night merely to report the idle
gossip Of the clubs and bar-rooms, to read
letters from the rural districts to dozen or
% leading statesmen. who are popularity sup
posed to be in the Presidential race. If the
President had the slightest particle Of com.
passion he would put an end to this harass-
ing mental anxiety, and announce his in
tention one way or the other. But General
Grant always was q most mysterious man.
He has always had an old fashioned way OF
minding his own business, and allowing
others to attend to theirs. He has, we pre-
sumo, come to the conclusion that 1t is the
business of the people to make Presidents.
They have been doing 1t for more than three
quarters of q century in these United States.
and it is not very probable that they will
neglect it in 1876. They who want infor-
nation on the subject had better apply in
that quarter. .a. ..... e..
