An Official Denial.

''But when that President Grant and the Cabi-
net have taken the oath of allegiance to
this order-for this information thus far stands uncon
tradcted-then IL assumes even new Importance y
We have good authority for denying this absurd
story far IL relates TO the President and the Cab
net They have not been initiated in the order' re-
ferred to, and know nothing whatever about II. Tho
HERALD may accept this as an authorized contradic-
tion.-The Netp York Times
We print the above paragraph in justice to
President Grant. OF course the denial from
the Times is official, and we are glad to believe
that the President has not so far forgot him
self as to form any relation with secret
political association.
AT the same time we cannot help saying
that President Grant would add more to his
popularity and keep himself more in SYM
pathy with the people if he were to relax q
little from the sphinx-like silence which
has long marked his character and put an
end to stories of this kind as soon as they
appear, not only for his own good, but for
the good of the nation. No one desires to
associate with the Presidents name any story
or scandal that would do him harm or bring
'dishonor upon his Office. This denial which
comes from the Times is prompt and conclu-
sive, and if the President will only follow
the example he thus sets in the future he
will keep more in sympathy with the people
and stamp out many of the unfortunate
stories which have foated into circulation,
and too frequently, we fear, into general and
accepted belief.

Christmas Eve.

There is gradually rising scale of
domestic excitement in the week preceding
Christmas which finds its climax to-day. 1t
eliminates in an acute attack OF brown paper
parcels, morocco-covered boxes, small trees
and ropes and wreaths of evergreens. AS the
master of the house Gf it has a mastery must
furnish the tissue which is thus abnormally
absorbed, Christmas Eve generally finds him
in debilitated state of pocket. As with
vaccination, however, the patient is generally
able to Withstand its effects, and even finds
heart to be joyful over the dangers he will
escape at the price of little pecuniary de-
pletion. Who would not rather rejoice the
hearts Of Bridget and Susan down stairs with
new shawls and dresses than live year of
such misery as a recalcitrant cook and
vengeful housemaid can infict2 Who would

reader of the HERALD who comments aloud

of the Troglodytes, and not of New York in
the nineteenth century but in the secret
recesses of the heart he or she will indorse it.
But we do not mean it unkindly. Why
should we? When man feeds his vanities

others happy, we say to him, in the name of

BORROWING RATES IN WALL STREET.
report in our financial column that bor-
rowers at the Stock Exchange had to pay
a premium of 1-32 of one per cent, beside
the legal rate of interest, for the use Of
money over night need surprise no one.
With sixteen million bushels of grain "in
sight" at New York; with two hundred and
fifty thousand hogs slaughtered this season
in Cincinnati alone, and with cotton crop
to move estimated at four and quarter
millions of bales, there seems to be occupa-
tion enough for the capital of the country in
the channels Of production and commerce,
without the large demand upon its resources
to carry along a hundred millions or so of
paper representations Of value in Wall street,
which fuctuate from day to day to the JOY or
grief of their momentary holders, but with
out adding one iota to tho real wealth or
prosperity Of the community at large. On

The Noble hand OF Third Tsrmer..


The Noble Band OF Third Termers.
In the multitude of Congressman there
were eighteen who stood firm in the day Of
peril. They faced not only the onset and
furious affront Of the enemy, but the certain
knowledge that they would be seen by the
country to have sold themselves respectively
for messes of pottage. To danger and shame
alike indifferent they stood nobly by the great
source of Executive patronage. An examina-
ton of the composition of this forlorn hope of
the third term may have some interest. 1t is
made up of four classes of persons. There
are Northern men, resolute for spoil there
are Southern men who believe that the offices
they may secure will be of tangible value,
but who doubt if this can be said Of the ma
tional freedom and constitutional precedents;
there are carpet baggers there are ''cullud
pussons," who were slaves before the war.
The negroes are Charles L. Nash, Louisiana;
Josiah L. Walls, Florida Jeremiah Haralson,
Alabama John r. Lynch Mississippi; John
Adams Hyman, North Carolina, and Robert
Small, South Carolina. People who were
born in slavery and received political rights
but yesterday, as it were, can scarcely
be expected to comprehend those prob
lens of national politics on which
this topic turns while, in common
with their race, they tend to carry hero wor-
ship to deifcation. Their vote, therefore, is
natural and they with unconscious instinct
favor a form of government that would cer-
tainly be better for them than any other
form, because it would put them in a
political tutelage not greatly dissimilar from
slavery. G. Wiley Wells, of Mississippi, and
Solomon Hoge, of South Carolina, are carpet
baggers, while John ID. White, of Kentucky,
and Alexander S. Wallace, of South Carolina,
are Southerners to the manor born so far as
known. Both the latter have probably
lively sense of official favors to come Nat
urally the carpet-b baggers have, like the
cheap shops, 'only one price, which is-all
they can get. Wells, of Mississippi, has
had his pay in advance, for all the fed
eral patronage of Mississippi was recently
transferred to him from Governor Ames.
OF the eight others, California, New York,
Iowa, Illinois, Maine and Vermont have each
one to be ashamed of, and Michigan has two.
"Mail contracts" accounts for one, and the
Internal Revenue Department knows most
of the others. Five of these men are natives
of New England States, and the New York
member is a Scotchman. OF this eight there
are three who 'didnt mean to do it ! that
is to say, who voted for the third term 70,
some other reason than because they are in
favor of it. 1t is to be hoped the reasona
were satisfactory substantial.
The New York herald., 1875-12-24

Years of Financial Policy, published in 1861
bears witness Gladstone and Disraeh have
been Chancellors Of the Exchequer for longer
and the names Of Pitt and Peel will occur to
everybody as conspicuous in the illustrious
line Of statesmen who have been charged
with the preparation Of budgets. The official
machinery for digesting budget differs in
different nations but the principles Of fiscal
science are the same in all; and the same
kind Of abilities are required for the prepara-
tion and defence of budget in all govern
ments where the annual supplies are voted
by the representatives Of the people. The
English budget is prepared by the Chancel-
lor Of the Exchequer, and the American
budget by the Committee Of Ways and Means;
but however prepared it requires defence
on the floor of the House. BY the custom OF
the English government the explanation and
defence devolves on the Chancellor Of the
Exchequer; by the custom of our government
it develves on the Chairman of the Com
mittee Of Ways and Means. But the task is
substantially the same, and feeble man is
incompetent for its performance under either
system. The keenest intellects of the oppo-
sition are always alert to detect flaws in the
budget and the man charged with its defence
must be equipped to parry oil thrusts on the
instant If cunningly mischievous amend
ments are offered he must be ready to expose
their fallacy. He must SO fully understand
the strength Of his case as never to weaken
it by failing to discover the best arguments
at the moment of the onset This requires
such complete mastery of the subject in its
principles and its details that only first class
man is equal to the situation. But what ludi-
crous contrast is poor Mr. Morrison to the
Pitts, the Peels, the Gladstones. the Disraelis
of English finance and to the succession of
able men who have acted as chairmen of the
Committee of Ways and Means in our House
of Representatives The contrast is so
striking, SO overwhelming, so grotesque, that
its force by lowering the requirements of the
Office to the acknowledged incapacity of the
incumbent.
We might perhaps add word, if propri-
ETY. would justify it, on certain recent exhi-
bitions of journalistic manners. But when
any of our contemporaries think it necessary
to pronounce eulogies on themselves and
assert their superior wisdom we can only
look with curious astonishment on kind of
exhibition which is never witnessed and
would not be tolerated in cultivated society.
There is no accounting for tastes; but, SO far
as we have observed, pretentious self-asser-
ton is more characteristic of persons who
ocal. and who try to make up by airs what
they lack in recognition, than of people who
have no reason to feel uneasy as to the recep-
ton they are likely to meet with among
those who know them.

THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT, in procuring the
passage Of an amendment to the Electoral
Districts bill reducing the representation
Of the city Of Paris in the new Assembly
from twenty-five to twenty, and that of
Lyons from eight to six, shows that it will
resort to any parliamentary expedient for
keeping down the radical population Of these
great Communistic centres. Cutting down
representation is, however, poor method Of
tontenting the masses.

A TRAMP CURE is not an easy thing to
find, but the example of Sussex county, New
Jersey, is likely to be followed extensively
next tramp season. Sussex county lessened
the number of these predatory idlers within
its borders by furnishing them with stones
to break when they asked for bread, and
finally giving them ''cheap but wholesome
food" when they had broken the stones.
Like the nouueou richie Of a hundred years
ago who took his first ride in bottomless
sedan chair and thought it was very much
like walking except for the look of the
thing" the tramps would just as soon work
for living as break stones for their break
fast hence they gave Sussex county, n j.,
a black mark in the ''Tramp's Own Guide
Book"

MIR. Pierrepont ON tho Case Of Law


Extradition is q subject with which, if
the general government is wise, it will not
permit its would-be smart subordinates to
play any foolish pranks and for this reason
the note Of Attorney General Pierrepont to
Mr. Bliss, with reference to the case of Law
renee is to be commended as delivering with
proper emphasis precisely the right word at
precisely the right time. Lawrence was sur
rendered TO our government by England on
the charge of forgery-a crime specified in
the treaty. The pretence set up by Mr..
Bliss, that with the criminal once in our
possession we may try him for what crime
we please, is the shallow, vaporing view Of a
trckster. II is even worse; it is an argument
in the interest Of this criminal, in the inter
est Of ell criminals, and that tends inevita-
bly, to the defeat of justice. TO take Grim
inal from the hands of England, surrendered
for forgery, and proceed to try him on charges
for which she would not have surrendered
him, is bad faith to her, and tends to weaken
the obligation Of the Extradition law result
In which only criminals can take pleasure.
