C4NAL RING ETR1TEG Y.

The fight against the Canal Ring is not TO
be short or an easy one. 1t was begun with
the utmost possible skill and force and it Sc
cured at the start an enthusiastic support from
decent people of all parties throughout the
State, which gave rise to an impression, per-
haps too sanguine, that the fragrant evils of
canal management were to be at once reformed.
The Governors message was in itself irresist-
ible and unanswerablc, and the successive publ
cations of detailed frauds in The TRIBUNE
were of character that could not be ex-
planned away There was no possibility of
meeting these exposures openly, or OF
defending the Ring of dishonest traders
who had been plundering the State. Even
so coarse and dull champion as Mr..
McGuire was sensitive about being called the
defender of the Ring, and its lesser supporters
in the Assembly were careful not to put them
selves directly in the way of investigation and
reform But it is TO be feared that their covert
hostility may prove more cficctual than their
omen defiance. They have already been able
to hamper the work of the Commissioners
10 lamentable extent, and the success
which has attended their efforts to be-
fog the question of the Governors right of
few weeks ago. A good many men and news
papcrs have been hoodwinked by it in quar-
ters where we had the right to expect better
things. People sincerely desirous of reform
have been played upon until they are unwilling
to allow to the Governor, whose sincerity and
whose devotion to strictly legal measures are
known to all the world, the authority ncces-
sary TO follow the Iascality of the canal-r0bbers
TO the end.
The amendment introduced by Senator
Woodn into the clause providing for the ex-
pcnscs of the Governors Commission, is simply
an insidiOus attempt to prevent effective invcs-
tigation. II allows any witness brought before
them to insist that his examination shall be
public and open it allows any one who 4" has
"perioIncd work or furnished materials" whose
testimony may be wanted by the Commission,
to come attended by counsel; and, to make an
apparent concession to public opinion, it merely
empowers the Commission to exclude witnesses
from the examination of other witnesses "sub-
"pcnacd on the same matter"-a provision
which amounts to nothing, as the witnesses can
easily learn from the papers all that takes
place in public examination. The whole
amendment is adroitly calculated to defeat in
yestigatiOn. 1t guards only the interests of
those who have wrOnged the State, and it
facilitates nothing but the cooking of testimony
for the advantage of the Ring.
There is perhaps one cause for congratula-
ton in the activity Of the predatory forces Of
the State. They are evidently recovering from
the panic into which they were thrown by tho

of all others who ought to have free access to
the records of the War Department-is, 1t
seems, no exception to this rule OF exclusion.
A few months ago he was asked by pub
Usher to write the military history of our late
war, and declined solely on the ground that
the true history of the war cannot be written
without access to the Confederate archives in
the War Department. which, he asserts, moth
ing but q special act Of Congress can open to
the historian.
To the unregenerate mind it begins to look
as if the purchase Of this historical material
with Government money was measure for
the suppression rather than the conservation
of historic truth, and the Especial act of
Congress- for which Gen. Sherman is wait
lug may well be passed during the early days
of the coming session.
Now, we hope no illogical reader will infer
from the facts herein set forth that the gen.
tlemen having this matter in charge are in the
least afraid of the truth. Such a suspicion
would be in the last degree unfair. AS the
celebrated Cave Burton, esq, OF Kentucky, SO
loved the truth that he spent most OF his time
and all of his talents in adding to and embel-
fishing it, so, as it seems to us, those who
have the thild-term interests of the Admins
tration at heart are chcrishing the historic
truths locked up in the War Department Will,
so strong and pure an affection that they will
on no account allow them to suffer deiilemcnt
by dissemination among the nOn-elect.

vigorous attack of tho Governor, and are every
where banding together to oppose him. When
ever they can defeat him in one thing, 1t Will
give them strength in everything else. They
have had one OF two successes in their
schemes of resistance, and this has
greatly encouraged and embOdencd them.
If they become so confident as to
allow the indifferent and lethargic friends
of reform to see clearly the issue which is be-
ing joined, there can be no doubt OF the final
result The people who are in favor OF hon
esty and economy in administration are ten to
one against the rogues who make living by
public plunder. But simply because the rogue
makes his living in that way, he is ten times
as active and energetic as the well-mcaning cit
izen who "takes no interest in politics." Once
in a while it becomes evident even to the
drowsiest eyes that certain ISSUES are mere
questions of honesty and knavery, and
have nothing political about them. Gov.
Tilden has before this been engaged
in campaign of that character, where the lazy
honest men felt that they must take share in
the fight, if they wanted anything left them to
fight for. If the Canal Ring can resist investi-
CATION long enough to bring about another
such organization of honest public feeling
against them, the work which the Governor
has begun will be all the more thoroughly and
decisiycly ACCOMPLISHED.

4V UNPLEASANT RUNOR.

An unsavOry bit of gossip is creeping into
the papers, which it would he best to drag to
the light and inspect thoroughly. 1t is asserted
that the Pacific Mail Steamship Company ad
vertised some time ago for class of respect
able and educated young men, whom they en-
gagged to instruct thoroughly in two years time
in the science and duties of navigation, and to
qualify them to receive captains certifi-
cate in the civil service. Practical seamen
will probably assert that this was impractical
bic, which if true. only makes the culpability
of the Company greater in its offer. The out
fit, premium, etc., were expensive, ana con-
fined the pupils to class OF cultured lads ac-
custOmed to at least the decencies of life
They were received it is stated, on one of the
steamships of the regular line, and from the
day of their embarkatiOn were treated with all
the brutality which the ignorant and annoyed
officers could devise to disgust them with their
attempt Not single point of the engage
ment made by the Company was fulfilled; no
effort was made to give them any instruction
whatever they were kept busy smashing and
scrubbing decks were half fed, brought ont
of their hunks and kept on deck half naked
through the whole of freezing Winter nights,
and finally turned loose, penniless, at Aspin-
wall, to beg or work their way home, as best
they could.
We sincerely hope some explanation can he
given by the Company of this affair which
will place them in a better light before the
public. AS it now stands, it would appear to
be deliberate scheme to gain the high price
demanded for instruction from the boys and
then to render the undertaking so obnoxious
to them that they would abandon it in disgust,
leaving the Company to pocket the proceeds
without giving any equivalent whatsoever.

Address. THE TRIBUNE New-York
New-York tribune., 1875-05-14

Among the essays delivered yesterday at the
Detroit meeting Of the American Social Science
Association, that of the Hon. Elizur Wright on
Life Insurance for the Poor will probably at
tract the most attention. The problem which
he attacks has long been recognized as one of
great difficulty. The classes that are most in
need of life insurance as a rule take the least.
Mr. Wright sees a path out of the obstacles
that beset the spread of life insurance among
workingmen. He would have it connected
with, and branch of the savings bank; but
like the bank it must be able to sustain
itself without the services of soliciting
agents. Secretary SanbOrn's report gives par
ticulars of the progress of the Association. In
a very able paper by President Angel of
Michigan University, the influence of inter-
national law and the prospect of its general
adoption are discussed. Mr.. Hamilton A. Hill
presents some recent statistics concerning i'm
migration. So far, this meeting of the AssO-
citation rather surpasscs in interest those of
previous years.

Assurance is given, on the authority Of the
Emperor of Russia, that tho Government at
Berlin is resolved upon the maintenance OF
peace. For the present we see no reason TO
doubt this statement. The policy of Prussia
toward France is now pretty much the same
90 it was after 1866 toward Austria, when the
necessity of the preservation Of peace in order
that the newly acquired territory might be
retained was very well appreciated.

OF course some of Mr.. Spcncer's friends are
quite confident that he has been much mis-
represented in the recent exposures 1t is very
easy to say in general way that the circum-
stances have been grossly exaggerated and
misconstrued. But there they are, and facts
it has long been admitted, are stubborn things
We do not envy the task that Mr. Spencer and
his friends will have in dealing with them.

There is no longer room for doubt that there

who are dependent upon the bounty of our

Comanches, Wichitas, and Kiowas--have been

At last we are within sight Of the end OF
the Beecher trial The evidence is closed, the
last witness descending from the stand with a
statement about his having once had bet of
500 on the result. The lawyers promise
quicker work than has been expected in
the summing up, but they wait until
next Wednesday before beginning it-a
breathing spell to which the public
will not object, however little the Court may
like it. The evidence for the last day or two
has consisted largely in arraying one witnesses
explicit statements directly in conflict with
equally explicit statements by another. The
mass of contradictory testimony is something
mOnstrOus.

In the Assembly yesterday there was novel
interruption to tho hurried flow of bills that
usually occupies the later hours of the ses-
sion. A resolution of sympathy with the
Cuban patriots was offered, and it passed by
rising vote. Appropriately enough, one of the
members talked about what he would do for
Cuba if hc were President of the United States
Therein is the principal difficulty with this
resolution that it does not proceed from any
body that represents tho United States
New-York tribune., 1875-05-14

Few smuggling operations have required so
many persons to carry it on as that which is
known as the Silk Conspiracy. The frauds on the
revenue amounted to 81 100000 and the plot
embraced many merchants and spectators
abroad, and several United States officials. The
business seems to have been conducted in this
country through more obscure class of per-
sons, who were perhaps rather agents than
principals in the frauds. These will be the
chief sufferers, since they are in the hands OF
the law.
