MR. B4NFIELD STEPS OUT.

Well the President has taken notice OF the
SanbOrn scandals at last. The whole country
has been exclaiming at the astonishing care
lessness or incapacity of the Secretary OF the
Treasury who allows the public money chest
to be plundered under his very nose, and the
insolence, or worse, of an Assistant Secretary
who tells the Committee of Ways and Means
that the contracts were all right, and that he
would make them acain if he had the chance.
It has been established pretty clearly that
whatever may have been the origin OF THIS
system of collecting the revenue on shares
the business was understood both by the Sec
retary and his principal assistant long before
it was exposed in the Committee Room
or the newspapers, and that the pretext
of routine (which was used to explain their
connection with it was only lame and inad-
missible excuse. Nobody has thought it worth
while to inquire closely into the motives OF
Messrs Richardson and Sawyer, because
whether they acted through ignorance or guile
it was equally certain that they ought to be
removed. 1t is as gross wrong TO keep an
incompetent Secretary at the head or the
Treasury in these dangerous times as to keep
an incompetent general at the head OF an
army in the field.
The disgraceful inefficiency of Mr.. Richard
son being therefore established, and MIR. Saw
yer having exhibited himself as pernclous
nuisance, the President does whatf Why,
assures these two gentlemen of his distln-
euished consideration, and thereupOn kicks
Mr.. Banfeld. Now it is beyOndsdlspute that
Mr.. Banfield deserves all he has got. Without
fha r.
Sanborn would i;ya Eaya been impossible. but I.
will be remembered that Mr.. Banfeld testified
that the Secretary and Assistant Secretary
knew what was going on, and one or the
other of them gave personal directions Tor the
execution OF every contract. Is it possible
that the Solicitor has been punished, not for
his offense but for his testimony Is 1T pos
sibIe that he has been disgraced, just as MIR.
Cluss was, not for being an unfaithful officer,
but for telling the truth about court favorltes
Is the House going to take its snubblng
meekly in both casesq 1t is not necessary to
"pursuen these delinquents. The censure is
intended to be directed toward the officials,
not the men. If, as our latest dispatches
declare, Mr.. Richardson will resign to-day or
next day, and Mr.. Sawyer will not tarry long,
the duty of the House remains unchanged. 1t
owes to public morals an expression OF opinion
concerning the scandalOus management of the
Treasury Department. 1t will be ludicrous
failure of justice if Solicitor Banfeld is forced to
resign in disgrace, while Sawyer is untouched,
and Mr. Richardson mounts to the bench of
the Court of Claims, without even protest
from the House which has tried him and
found him wanting.
New-York tribune., 1874-06-01

The wear 1871 includes exports OF over hvc
million dollars worth OF firearms, SOLD 10
France for use in the war with Germany. Inc
true increase of the exports, excluding TINS
nnusual item. is more than fifty per cent in
1879 over 1871 We have full returns OF the
FOREIGN commerce of the United States for one
month. and of Great Britain for four months
of the wear 1874. The former show for Jan
uary great falling off in imports of iron and
on increase of exports, while the latter show
continuous decline in the exports OF iron
and steel to all countries, and especially 10
the United States. If we are not mistaken,
the true policy of the irOn-makeis Is not 10
ask for any change in the tariff, but to oppose
all attempts TO tinker it, whether advocated
by protectiOnists or free traders, or By those
who know not what they are, and so call
themselves "revenue reformers." There is one
thing that seems to us very plain-COngress
can do nothing to raise the price OF iron,
unless by initiating the currency, which is as
likely to raise the price of anything else as that
of iron. Congress cannot make cotton sell
for twenty five cents a pound, or wheat for
two dollars a bushel, when the crops are as
large as they were last year. Neither can Con-
gress make iron sell for the cost of production
when the market is OverstOckcd, and the de-
mand shruuk to less than half its former pro-
portions. In the nature of things it is impOs-
sible to find remedy for every evil, or
to repair in all cases the damage pro-
duced by want of caution and foresight.
Congress has no miraculous power to make
business prosperous. The most any one can
ask, certainly the most one can hope for, Is
that Congress shall step aside and allow the
healing forces of Nature to act without OBJ
structon Hard times will not last forever,
and in our opinion they will not long outlive
the present session of Congress, if that body
will only let things alone.

New-York tribune., 1874-06-01

Sir Charles Dixie is stronger man than his enc
mics have been willing to admit. He never can
be returned from Chelsea after daring to attack the
Civil Listn said both Gladstonians and Tories. He
was returned, and his colleague, Sir Henry Hoare,
supporter of Gladstone, suffered defeat Tho Times
felt obliged to report in full Sir Charles Dlkes last
address to his constituents but mitgated its disgust
by proclaiming the radical baronet "dreary."
Wishing to prove that he was quite capable Of
good joke. quite equal to arguing on the enemy's
side and initiating Matthew Arnold's style. Sir
Charles lately wrote satire entitled The Fall OF
Prince FlOrestan of Monaco, BY Himself. Having
first returned from Monaco, he attacked himself
in order not to be discovered, and then
belabored his friends in less degree, in
order to cover the attack on himself.
When published, Prince Florestan was attributed
to various prominent politicians and Ierdteurs the
majority of critics fixing its authorship upon Mat
thew Arnold whose friends claimed it for him, q
claim Arnold hardly denied. Not thinking the joke
carried far enough, Sir Charles Dixie invited q
dozen critics to dinner for the express purpose of
abusing "Prince Florestan." The dozen guests did
to their hearts content learning few days after
that they had been excoriating their genial host
Perhaps his lenemies will gradually learn what
Dilke's friends have always known that his hatred
of shams is only equaled by his appreciation Of
hum0r.

Mr.. Frederick A. Sawyer denies, with his usual
asperity, that he dismissed lady named Dawes
from clerkship in the Treasury under the i'm
preston that she relative of the Chairman of
the Ways and Means Committed" On the contrary,
he declares that he knew she was not As Mr.. Saw
yer vocferates in general and d-faced sort Of

statements of The TRIBUNE and some other papers

to be preferred to one which is constantly
tinkered. In our Judgment, there is no imme-
date prospect of injury to the iron producers
in America from the competition of foreign
ers. On the contrary our iron-rnakers should
strive to extend their foreign market, Tor IL Is
plain that the wider their market, the more
stable will be their business. The following
table shows the imports and exports of iron
and steel and manufactures thereof for the
last three calendar years:

lame and impOtent conclusion.
1t is once more reported from Washington
that a change will be forthwith made in the
management of the Treasury Department.
COL Bristow has frequently been named OF
late as the most probable successor to Mr..
Richardson. 1t is now quite positively asserted
that his name will soon be sent to the Senate
and that Mr. Richardson will be nominated to
be Judge of the Court of Claims. Col. Brstow
was formerly Solicitor-General,O occupying the
next place in the Department OF Justice 10
the Attorney General. When MIR. Williams
was nominated to the Enthusiastically the
name of Col. Bristow was also sent In az
Attorney General. He has had no natlohai
record as financier.

It is reported that Gov. Dix finds it neces'
sary to break the dead lock in the Treasury
by the removal of Treasurer RaInes, on the
ostensible ground of neglect OF duty. Inc
later accounts from the Utica Asylum are not
encouraging as to the Treasurers condition.
and it is imperative that the business OF the
Treasury should have a head. There will be
the sincerest sympathy felt for the Treasurer,
and we may be sure that Gov. Dix will take
pains, in any official action he may
find necessary in the premises, TO
show how clear Mr.. Raines's record is,
and to make plain that only the sad vista
ton of Providence under which lie suffers has
enforced the change. Acting on tho same
high ideas of duty which led him, when
removing the disreputable District Attorney of
BROOKLYN, to appoint a member of the same
political party in his place, Gov. Dix, it is
understood, is now thinking of appointing a
Democrat to succeed Mr.. Ranes. 10 carry
out precisely the same policy, however, he
should appoint Liberal Republican. The
matter is of very little consequence, save that
by all means a man above the possibility OF
reproach should be chosen, and, if possible,
man who will stand ready to surrender
the place again if the officer whom the people
of the State selected for it should once more
become fitted to discharge its duties.

On the eighth page of THE TRIBUNE we
print series of charges against the manage
ment of the Pension system, which should re-
ceive attention. 1t is alleged that the law Is
strained to Cypress the pensioners, and that
anany of this unfortunate class are denied the
bounty to which they are entitled. These
statements are made with too much circum-
stantiality to be considered trihing
The second trial of ex-Bank Examiner CAL
hendsr is as barren of result as the first, owing
TO the difficulty of proving by circumstantial
evidence the guilty intent of a sin of omis-
sion. He did not bolster up the insolvent
Ocean National Bank by a false report to the
Controller of tho Currency, but made no re-
mort whatever; and the $75,0O0 which the
prosecution looks upon as hush-mOney did not
pass from hand to hand, but was borrowed on
eecurities which have since proved to be
worthless. The question whether his neglect
no make the report was influenced by the loan
was 40 delicate one that the jury were un-
able to agree upon a verdict.

One Thing and Another.

Some English grooms at Saratoga are
teaching Yankees the care of horses. |
asked one of these grooms, who has spent
twenty years in the stables of royalty what
he had to say about our American way of
taking care Of horse.
Why, SIR said he, "you don't take
good care Of your horses; you think you
do, but you DON'T
Why ?" | asked.
Because, when a horse comes in all wet
with perspiration, you let him stand in the
stable and dry with all the dirt on. In
England we take the horse as he comes
from drive and sprinkle blood-warm water
all over him, from his head to his feet
Then we scrape him down and blanket him,
rubbing his legs and face dry. Thus in an
hour he is clean and dry and ready to take
a good feed, while with your way he will
stand and sweter for hours, and finally dry
sticky and dirty. Our horses never founder
and never take cold. We never use a cur.
rycomb; you scratch your horses too hard.
The only care necessary is to have the wa
ter not too cold then battle them instantly,
while you are rubbing their legs"

But if cases of perennial happiness are
rare, we all have joyful moments | sup.
pose that one of the most unalloyed Of
earthly pleasures is the giving of perfect
snub. For most persons are like lanthe,
who never thinks of the precise gesture,
the most fitting, whitening word and action,
till it is at least thirty minutes too late.
When the person who should be wthered
is actually in our presence, we are either
too much 1ustered to do our best, or else
that singular fatality we are all under, of
sympathizing with the present humanity,
keeps US from being utterly remorselcss.
Besides, a successful snub implies ca
pacity for being snubbed on the part of the
other person. Only at rare and precious
epochs are all the conditions fulfilled.
There is certain happiness in perfect
hate. There is no satisfaction in half
hating; it is like toast toasted on one side
only, butterflies in brd-cage, half-ripe
cherries, an undress rehearsal, and every
thing else that misses roundness and down
rightness. Denunciation must be untem-
pered, or it is worthless as a consolation to
the soul. The great trouble with many
people is to find something that can be de-
spised in this wholesale way. 1t is diff.
cult for them to perpetuate sentiment of
unreseryed despisal toward any single liy-
ing human being, or even a single family

Morning Hours.

Tom Jones was little fellow, and not so
quick to learn as some boys; but no one in
the class could beat him in his lessons.
He rarely missed in geography, never in
spelling, and his arithmetic was always cor.
rectly done; as for his reading, no boy i'm
proved like him. The scholars were
fairly angry, sometimes, he outdid them so
constantly.
"Why, Tom, where do you learn your
lessons You don't study in school, like
the other boys"
" | rise carly in the morning, and study
an hour before breakfast" answered Tom.
