THE "SINCERE and THOUGHTFCL
ST1TESNPEv

The Hon. J. NJ. Edmunds of Washington,
D. c., serves his country in the double capac-
ity of Postmaster of Washington and Secre-
tary of the Republican Congressional Execu-
tive Committee. In which of the two he was
acting when he wrote to the Chattanooga
Convention the letter which was read at
the opening of that fine body of enlightened
statesmen, as a sort of warrant for its exist
ence, we do not know. He signs the letter as.
Secretary, to be sure, but when he states that
he submits his suggestions with ditfdence,"
we thinklwe recognize Federal Offce-holder.
For the Federal office-hOlder is invariably
diffident. The amount of difidence there is
in the Government service of this country
defies measurement.
Mr.. Edmunds is an Office holder. One Of the
most diffident of his class. But he saw the
coming of the Chattanooga Convention, and
the impulse of patriotism overcame his nat
ural difidence. He knew that the Convention
needed to be told what to do and what "cOn-
"siderate men" expected of it. So as
a representative "consderate man" he
wrote this letter, and the Convention had it
read as the first business of the session. "COn-
"siderate men," he informs them, regard
"the movement as of very great Importance"
AMI, he then proceeds to point out why and
how, and to lay down programme. Out
"raees of all classes" be- says, should be
carefully reported, whether resulting in
"crme or extending only to intimidation
"The spirit and purpose of the action of the
Legislative, judicial, and executive depart
"ments should be reviewed. All, in fact
"that tends to disorder, lawlessness, or op-
"presson may well be considered. Upon the
"whole record thus honestly and fairly made
Dup, the cOnsiderate judgment of the Ameri-
"can people may be safely invoked" The
searching mind of this considerate
man has brought out in this con.
else statement the whole business of the
Convention. 1t is the compilation of "out-
"rages of all classes" for "the considerate
Judgment of the American people" upon the
question whether the party that has SO sue
cessfully reconstructed the South shall not be
continued in power. What the considerate
men want is "outrages ofl all classes" If
Mr.. Charles Hays of Alabama was in the room
when the letter was read, how his bosom must
have glowed at this prospect of market. For
if there is any one thing that Mr. Charles
Hays is "long Of" it is outrages Of all
classes. He can furnish cOnsiderate men
with that sort of thing to order and without
end.
The Hon. Mr.. Edmunds concludes his
requisition for "Outrages of all classes as fol-
lows: "To the sincere and thoughtful states

deeply into tho motives OF those who unto

doing honor to his memory. Even il there be
exaggerations and suppressions in the fame
the world has agreed to award him, there is
enough of greatness and goodness In his life
to justify both the glory and the statues, and
the efforts at imitation of him which the glory
and the statues will excite. No boy will 60

to tread in the footsteps of Lincoln, and 1t
will do even the professional politician little
harm to give an hour to the thought OF this
wisest and shrewdest of his class, who did 30
much to redeem it in mems eyes. When be
was a candidate for Office he did not palter
with the truth or flatter the passing cur
rents of the hour, because he not only
hated a lie, but knew that in the
long run the truth paid better. When
he became President he was not ava
ricious, nor lawless, nor jealous, y nor
quarrelsome. He did not think he was there
for any other purpose than to do the best ne
could for the country. He considered the
office lofty public trust and administered it
as such. He filed the Cabinet with his most
formidable rivals because he thought they
would do their work well and command the
public confidence. He never made or refused
an appointment out of spite. He left his
family in poverty moro honorable to them
than to the rest of us, and his only son to-day
works honestly and well for his daily bread.

SPAIN AND HEB BACKER.

The rumors to which we have frequently
referred respecting supposed secret under
standing between Germany and Spain hostile
to France appear to gather strength and con-
sistency every day. It is now asserted in dis
patches from Madrid. Berlin, and London, that
a note of an unusually peremptory character
has been presented by the Spanish Minister in
Paris to the Government of Marshal MacMahon,
complaining, in language which touches the
verge of diplomatic courtesy, of the conduct
of the French authorities in aiding or cOnniving
at the operations of the Carlists on the Pyre-
mean frontier. The only significance in this
action is in its date. 1t is we'll known that
the French authorities have not done their
full duty towards Spain during the Carlist
insurrection, but it is also known that
their conduct in this respect has of late
greatly improved. For the last month at
least. the agents of the Government in the
Department of the Basses-P PyrenGes, in obe-
dience to orders from Paris, have exerted
themselves to some extent in repressing those
proceedings of the Carlists and their SYM
pathizers which had grown so scandalous. 1t
is quite possible that they have not gone far
enough, and that Marshal MacMahon, while
pretending to give satisfaction to the just de-
mands of Spain, desires still to cOnciiate the
Legitimists by retaining in the Prefecture
which has been so compromised the reaction

as more completely at the orders of Don Carlos

IRE MUNICIPAL TAXES HIGH ENOUGH,

AXE MUNICIPAL IAAES HIGH ENOUGHf
Undoubtedly in one very important sense
they are; but our question means, assuming
the expenditures of the City to be no larger
than they should be, is the tax rate sufficiently
high to pay them and to remove gradually
the burden of the municipal debit Controller
Green answers this question in the affirmative,
apparently thinking it necessary to do so in
order to vindicate his administration of the
finances. We dissent from his answer and
think he is under no such necessity as he
imagines. The expenditures of which we COM
plain were made by authority obtained from
the Legislature, and the Controller cannot be
accused of any direct responsibility for them
When we censure the incessant issue of bonds
for boulevards and avenues, docks, parks,
bridges, sewer repairs, and dozen other pur-
poses, we do not complain of the Controller,
but of the system. lie, to our great SURPRISE
maintains that there is nothing of this sort to
find fault with, except little matter of two
and half million dollars year, and that in
reality, after making proper allowances, the
debt has not increased at all! We should like
to believe this, but as we cannot, we shall
endeavor to show that the Controller is mis-
taken.
The first question necessary to be considered
is, what are the objects of the Sinking Fund
Is the revenue of that Fund proper resource
for the payment of current expensesf In the
case of tho State 1t is now pretty well under

ment of all their assets and their actual con-
dition. II it should thus appear that the loans,
Investments, or whatever they are which the
Massachusetts Commissioner has omitted, are
really sound assets, and the companies are
perfectly solvent, the ultimate effect of the
overhauling will be an increase of their busi-
ness,
New-York tribune., 1874-10-16

The Tammany authorities have done some
thing to redeem the faur pas of their city
ticket by last nights nominations for Con-
grcss. The selection of Abram s. Hewitt for
the Xth District is peculiarly fortunate. Mr..
Hewitt is a gentleman who has no occasion
to seek Office, and is too conscientious in his
ideas of the citizens duty to refuse it. He
will be elected, and will give to the city
delegation a weight it has not heretofore en-
joyed. He is able, and on all the vital ques-
tiOns of the day sound. Mr.. +. A. Conkhng
has served before, and has been conspicuous
for a painstaking fight against extravaganza
expenditures, form of public service to
which New-YOrk has not been much accus-
toned, The denomination of MIR. Cox was to
have been expected, and was thoroughly well
deserved.
Holding inquests by wholesale appears to
have been the system at the Brooklyn Morgue.
Bodies were allowed to accumulate till there
was a cart-load of them; then ten-minute
inquest was held on the lot; they were boxed
up in cheap way and sent off for burial.
For each "coffin," worth 25 or 80 cents. 50 30
was charged to the County; for the convey
ance Of each corpse, $3; for an inquest on
each, s12 80; making profit of over Sl7
apiece on the bodies, less the actual expense
of summoning jury and removing them per-
haps once fortnight. The whole object OF
holding inquests-the detection of crime
was thus entirely neutralized, and it would
have been better for the health of the city if
no judicial inquiry was ever held upon the
corpses of the MOrgue. Such, at least, is the
story told to our reporters; if true, 1T Is
about time for an inquest on the Coroners.
We have a body of influential citizens, COM
prising one of the largest Clubs in the city,
who, by reason of their social prominence,
wealth, and the general interests they have at
stake in the community, have special reason
to do all in their power in aid of the pending
Constitutional Amendments in this State A
Club that stands for political reform ought
not to be backward in support of measure
putting an end to large classes of our per-
nicous special legislation. A body OF heavy
tax-payers should need no eXhOrtatiOn to
declare itself with emphasis in favor
of the sale of the useless and extrav-
agant lateral canals. Gentlemen who have 80
many reasons to bemoan corrupt and inef-
ticient State legislatures, should try to secure
the decent payment that may possibly bring
decent legislators. The Union League Club
has not been accustomed to keep silence when
its voice could help in such measures of prac-
tical reform. We observe that special meet
ing is called for this evening, and trust that
it may not adjourn without throwing the
whole weight of this representative Club in
favor of our Constitutional Amendments,
which form altogether the most important
issue in the pending election.

In his wanderings about Rome Mr. Dickens used
to meet a certain typical British tourist whom he
describes as being devoured by slow curiosity
leading him to do extraordinary things, such as TAX

the ashes as if they pickles. Another English
in his peculiar habits of mind certainly recalls
this odd traveller: and that is Mr. Gladstone. No
subject is safe from him. BE flies. but not at all

Secret sessions divest the proceedings of the
Episcopal Convention of general interest. The
personal explanations of some of the dele
gates gave, however, an air of liveliness to

The talk in political circles of the baser sort
has turned for day or two on the alleged
probability that Gov. Dix would now make
haste to express openly his hostility to the
Third Term. We have a sincere respect for
Gov. Dix, and we do not believe that this
talk has his sanction. He is not the sort
of man to be frightened by adverse election
returns into statement he has persistently
refused to make before, when his friends
sought it, when he might have made it with
dignity, and when there was fit occasion
for it.

Those who believe that the principal evils Of the

honesty which preys upon ignorance, will be glad to
hear of any sincere attempt to educate the colcred

Lottsburgb, Virginia, for that purpose, the colored
people contributing cheerfulIy of their labor. being
too poor to help with money. These ladies have
