THERE Is A GENERAL DISAPPOINTMENT in
Great Britain over Sir Stafford Northcote's
speech in presenting the budget to Parlia-
ment The Pal MaA Gazette says that lit is
not lyrical enough" and declares "there is no
reason why questions Of debit and credit
should not wear the destinations Of rhetorical
ornament and only the absence of genius can
excuse the presentation of the national ac-
counts in plain, dull way" In this country
we know that these latter statements are true,
and we are sorry that they are. We have
many rhetorical fnanciers, and we could help
England to Chancellor who would obscure
her accounts with profuse foliage, gemmed
with flowers of speech whose wild beauty
should be the excuse for o subsequent
Treasury deficit

The LABOR TROUBLE. war notes
sounded between the workngmen and the
employers have died away without producing
q conflict. The disturbers of the peace seem
to have thought it more prudent to leave
things as they are than run the risk of q
general strike among the trades affected,
which would have had the result of injuring
the trade Of New York without effecting any
permanent good. 1t would be well if the
same prudent spirit always animated the con-
tending parties

The Consistency Of Political Reform.

The Police and Parks law, as it is called
gives the Mayor the sole appointing power, in
case Of vacancies, Of oil heads Of departments
and commissioners, while the charter passed
last year provided, in filling vacancies as well
as in original appointments, for nomination
by the Mayor and confirmation by the
Board Of Aldermen. The new act also
limits the Park and Police commissions
to four members each but this is only that
the republicans may make sure of such
power and patronage as they now possess in
those departments. The Custom House re-
publicans drew and lobbied through the Legis-
lature this new charter. A year ago they Bit
terly denounced the ''one-man power" but
that was when Mayor Havemeyer described
them as men who ''gamble all night to cheat
each other and intrigue all day to cheat the
people" On February 10, 1873, these Custom
House republicans, alluding to the Mayors
wish to have the uncontrolled appointing
power, said:-"He wishes to be the sole repos-
itory Of power-to have the nominations and
appointments oil in his own hands. It is most
unheard-of demand and one which it would
be criminal in the Legislature to grant. No
one man should have such unlimited power as
Mr.. Havemeyer would exact"
This year, after making new bargain with
the Mayor for their full share of the spoils,
they urge the Legislature to perform the
criminal act Of making Mr. Havemeyer the
nc xul,a ovo,o
are to be filed.
On February Is, 1873, the Custom House
republicans said :-"Should the absolute power
Of making appointments be vested in the
Mayor? We cannot find that any intelligent
man asks for so extravagant q measure. A.
Oakley Hall exercised this despotic authority,
and pretty mess he made of it. The Board
Of Aldermen is very proper body to exercise
an opinion on the Mayor nominations 1t is
elected by the people; it cannot be SO easily
misled as one man may be-"
This year, having made new "dcar' with
Mr.. Havemeyer, they advocate 80 extnva-
giant measure, secure for the Mayor sthis
despotic authority" and ignore the Aldermen
selected BY the people"
On February 20, 1873, they asked where
Mr.. Havemeyer found his warrant for sup
posing that Mayor is legitimately an auto
crat and that self-government means democ-
racy tempered by Imperialism and declared
that "the ring charter for the first time
gave the appointments to the Mayor, and that
''under this an irresponsible ring were able
to steal millions before they were found out i

Mr.. Havemeycr, they make him an "auto-

rival claimants for State government, yet
this is what it undertook to do in Louisiana;
but II is clearly and unmistakably its duty to
prevent anarchy or civil war, and this is what
it fails to do in Arkansas, perhaps from ap-
prehension that it may repeat the false steps
OF its former endeavors. But the two things
are distlnct and as easily separable as the
functions of the President from the functions
of Congress. In Louisiana the government
accepted the initiative of judge whose i'm
parchment is now under discussion, and was
thus committed to bad course without delib-
crate examination of the merits and once
committed, the administration seems to have
no capacity to recognize that it is in error, or
to retire from a false position. In Arkan-
sas what is wanted is not . judgment,
not determination from the government
which Of the claimants is Governor of the
State, but the organization Of the armed
force accessible in the name of the United
States government and the maintenance OF
order and protection of life and property un-
til by some proper process it may be legally
or judicially determined who is entitled to
recognition and support as Governor.
Any delay in taking action that looks to
this result can but have an obstructive and
bad appearance, and will inevitably look like
favor to the insurrection in continuing the
disturbance it has brought about

An Evil Example.

situation of affairs like what is now seen
out leading to evil results from its example to
the other Southern States. The South is far
from reconstruction. The valiant spirit that
gave the Confederacy it's strength and COM
pelled its practical recognition by the nations
does not exist in any apparent form. The
leaders of the armies and councils of the
Confederacy no longer WELD any influence
over the South. Some are dead. some are in
exile or under the shadow of Acknowledgement;
few like Longstreet are regarded as prac-
tical traitors to the cause they served with so
much constancy. So there is no fear of an
Davis, in 1861, dictated from Montgomery.
But the spirit of the Confederacy is not dead
There is large element Of disafection in the
South-warriors who fought to reluctant and
regretted surrender, young men who were
lads during the war and who have all the
enthusiasm and emulation of youth. We see
evidences of this sentiment in occasional
gusts Of passion which come now and then,
and may be called summer clouds of rebel
lion, Like assaults upon negroes, or Ku Klux
visitations, and the mobbing of Northern
men. The effect of the condition of affairs
in Arkansas is to fan this spirit into new and
active life. We have little fear that it
will assume dangerous aspect, but it
is not wise to give it encourage
ment We do not believe in q re-
vived rebellion, but we do believe in
the danger of diseased reconstruction
in what might be called an liberated condi-
ton Of affairs in the South, endless pain,
irritation, outbreaks Of passion and feeling
and postponement Of that sound and per-
feet reunion for which every patriot hopes
and prays.
The President cannot view with apathy the
peril that must result from this Arkansas dis
ease. 1t is local in its influence to-day, but
where may it spread tomorrow II it is moi
arrested now can it be checked when it ex.
tends into other States? Is it safe to assume
for moment that attitude Of indifference
which may be called temptation to renewed
rebellion?

Literature ana tho Nswspaper Pres

Literature and tho Newspaper Press.
The relations of the newspaper press to
literature are becoming more clearly defined
every day. In looking over the announce
ments Of forthcoming books in this country
and in England we are impressed with the
fact that some of the most noteworthy works
Of the season are based upon previous con-
tributions to the leading journals Mr..
Stanley's narrative of his experiences as chief
of the HERALD expedition to find Livingstone
was the first of q new class OF books of travel
which have since appeared in rapid succession.
The Russian war in Central Asia, the Cuban
struggle for independence the Carlist insur-
rection in Spain and the English expedition
against Ashantee were all movements which
required the participation of newspaper rep
resentatives.
Not to speak of tie books relating to Sir
Garnet Wolseley's little war on the Gold
Coast of Africa called cut from the cor
respondents of the London press, we may re-
mark that every one of those movements has
prompted HERALD representative to enter
the lists of the bookmakers. Mr.. Stanley,
wisely reserving his account of the Abyssinian
war, in which he participated on behalf of the
HERALD, is about to publish it in volume
with his story of the recent expedition, where
he performed his latest service for this journal.
Mr. Macgahan who went to Khiva with the
Russian expedition for the HEnALD, being the
only correspondent to overcome the difficulties
of the journey, also has book in press. Mr..
O'Kelly's book on his Cuban and Spanish ex-
periences will appear in few days under the
quaint title of ''Mambi Land" In the West
Indies it is much more common than in cur
own Southern States to introduce African
words into vernacular speech. The English
of Jamaica and the Spanish Of Cuba have
many naturalized African words and phrases
sMambi' is one of these, which the Spaniards
apply to the insurgents, the meaning being
something like the Specification Of 'the beg
ears" during the war against the Dutch Re-
public or the words ''copperhead" and scar
pet-bagger," invented for special purposes in
this country. As in most cases where people
are fighting for just cause, the word of con-
tempt has been adopted by those to whom it
was applied in derision, and that part of the
island in the possession Of the insurgents is
now Mambi Land.
These facts have in them something more
significant than the mere announcement that
O number of newspaper correspondents have
utilized their contributions to their journals
for the purposes Of bookmaking. 1t shows
that the field Of adventure is first penetrated
by the journalist and that modern events Of
permanent interest find in him their best and
readiest chronicler, not for the day merely,
but for history. 1t was the newspaper corre-

CONGRESS AND ARKANsAs.-The Congressional
mind is sorely troubled by the Arkansas
squabble, and the Conscript Fathers are very
careful about committing themselves to =
policy. AS will be seen by number of inter-
views published in another column, the desire
to let the question alone is very general In
the meantime Arkansas is drifting into civil
war, which, if not promptly suppressed, may
create unlocked for complications. It would
be we'll for the general government to act
promptly and put down either OF the lawless
factions that now set the law at defiance.

A Danger and Perhaps Calamity.
When the President vetoed the act of in
fation he commended himself to the country
as Chief Magistrate who, no matter what
might be his apparent indifference to the
national exigencies where minor affairs were
concerned, was ever prompt and bravo
when grave interests were in peril What he
saw in the Imitation bill was not SO much tho
actual increase in currency it provided as the
principle it involved a principle that
threatened to become monster as terrible a
the Afrit in the Arabian fable, who. when
released from the vial, became terrible,
destroying shape. The country approved tho
veto with unanimity Of commendation that
must have recalled to the President the hour
of unprecedented and triumphant glory which
made him the conqueror of Lee.
There is now another opportunity. Arkan-
sas is scandal and danger; tomorrow il
may be calamity. There is only one way Of
settling it; by Executive interference. Law il
paralyzed, the courts are Knocked and insulted,
justice is dead, party strife has superseded
craftsmanship, the honor Of the State has
been invaded, industry is arrested and enter
prise forbidden, public credit is destroyed.
and all through the South the untamed spirits
that animated the Confederacy await the well
come note of civil war. This, we repeat, is .
danger, q very grave and serious danger.
The President cannot ignore it. He cannot
postpone its consideration. He has only one
thing to do. Let him declare that, while
he recognizes the sovereignty and indepen-
dence of all States and the necessity of the
utmost care in interfering with them, he sees
in Arkansas condition of affairs that violates
the constitution which he has sworn to OBJ
serve, and menaces the public peace which II
is his duty to protect
Nothing more is necessary than declara-
ton Of this kind. 1t will have a moral effect
to-day which Sheridan, at the head Of fifty
regiments, may not have If this state Of
anarchy is not terminated.
