To-day with appropriate ceremonies the
citizens and soldiers of New York will decorate
the graves Of the brave men who persisted in
defence of American freedom. II there is
rebel soldiers grave in any of our cemeteries
the flowers Of spring will be laid upon that
humble mound as freely and as tenderly as they
will be upon the last resting place Of him
who died that the Union might live.
We rejoice that this spirit Of bro
therly forgiveness and oblivion OF all
the elements Of the war, except those Of hero
ism and glory, does not prevail in the North
only, but is as active and universal in the
South. There is no grave there Of Union
soldier, known to the women from Virginia
to Texas, upon which wreath will not be
laid; for death absolves all and makes even
the tomb of the ancient enemy seem almost
as sacred as that of friend. The noble
letter of General Forrest to the Memphis
Committee of Arrangements is an illustration
of the spirit of the South. He and
General Pillow who wrote SINH
lar letter, were only a few years
ago the bitterest enemies of the Union, which
they fought bravely and persistently
to destroy. Like all earnest men who become
the champions Of an extreme they were mis-
represented and maligned. But whatever
their records in thu war may be, their records
in time OF peace are honorable and clear.
Those were noble words which General For
rest uttered in response to the invitation to
take part in the ceremonies at the National
Cemetery at Memphis. 81 sincerely trust"
he said, "that the time is NOT far in the fu-
ture when the soldiers Of the late
war will cease to remember the
angry passions engendered by the
bloody struggle. Between those who were
true to their colors during the late war there
can be no hate or bitterness. Since all have
now one flag and one country there ought to
be no estrangement or sectional antagonism"
When this honorable spirit ofpeace is shown
by the late enemies Of the Republic shall not
its friends respond without fear or suspicion?
We welcome these expressions of fraternity
and hope as evidences of that true and per-
manent reconciliation which it is Of the first
importance to encourage in the North as well
az the South

The Sermons Yesterday.

The weather yesterday was unfavorable to
religion As we said last week it is hard to
expcct men VINO have but one day out Of
seven TO find relaxation and pleasure TO foreso
those privileges Tor the sake Of sermon or q
PRAYER. That man may be religious and
vet not 20 70 church habltually IS
conceded, even though reluctantly, by
our ablest clergymen. We cannot blame
therefore the thousands Of poorer citizens
who broke the Sabbath BY employing the IN
codly steamboat and the atheis;ic steam
engine to bear them far from the doors Of the
church to the unwalled temple Of nature. No
doubt they had their reward. Gods sky was
above them, Ills sea beneath them, and bright
sun and fresh air sent them home happier
and, We trust, better people,
But for those who remained in the city
there was compensation. Some Of them
heard tie excellent ad lress Of the Rev. Mr..
rockingham upon the decoration Of the
graves, or how MI. Hepworth explained the
moral meaning Of the Christian miracles,
Of the Rev. DR.. Howland's exposition Of
the parable Of Dives and Lazarus.
Others attended the dedication OF st.
Bernard's church, and we're rewarded by
an address by Cardinal McCloskey and
sermon by Bishop McQuaid. Mr..
Beecher preached upon the unfaithful
emotions Of mems hearts; and the Rev.
Mr.. Willis, o. the Methodist Church, con-
tributed new theory in regard to the
b bic and the schools. These and other SER
mons will be found in our columns to-day.
They suggest the important question whether
it Is better for tho people to 80 out Of town
ana seek fresh dir or to 90 to church and
profit by the teachings Of our clergy. This is
a question which II will be difficult for even
an ingenious casuist to decide.

Money ana Merit.

We observe in one OF the English papers
singular observation which might be not with
out value in this country. Speaking of Ad-
him as one of the ''best specimens Of very
fine class of naval officers, who knew his pro.
fession thoroughly and at the same time
understood politics and business" In read
ing the sketch Of Admiral Osborn's career we
find that he was conspicuous during the
Sebastopol war, in China, in Arctic expedi-
tions, and that he displayed the highest quail
tiles and showed himself man ''who might
head the fighting feet in great
war or even administer the entire
navy" Now one would think that such
a man would be selected by government
like that OF England to fill high position.
But here is an observation which, coming al
it does from one of the most respectable and
influential journals in London, is worthy to
be considered: -'Had he been wealthy man
he would have risen high, for he had parlia-
mentary faculties; but being poor aud uncon-
nected he died only Companion Of the Bath
and man whom his department intended to
utiIize whenever tnere was Danger anead
In other words, we learn from this journal
that in England, no matter how much ability,
experience, practical sense, courage or patriot
ism a naval officer may have the fact of his
having no money keeps him under shadow,
and that the only time that there is an oppor.
tunity for poor men Of genius to assert them
selves is when the country really needs theiI
service; and yet the English journals ara
always talking about the tondness of tha
American for the ''almighty dollar"

The CooIIe Trade.

We have been disposed in this country to
regard the coolie trade rs only another form
OF slavery, and the British Foreign Anti
Slavery Society has in many recent publica-
tons taken the same view. Some time since
depuaton from this society waited upon
Lord Carnarvon, tie English Secretary for
Colonial Affairs, and asked for the prohibition
OF the coolic trade 70 the English colonies.
lis Lordship replied that ''coolie emigration,
II carefully watched, might be blessing 70
tic colonies and the emIgrants that even in
the Pacific Bishop Paterson had advised regu-
lation, and not suppression, and that he him
SET might be trusted for nc had just enamel
pated Tie slaves on the West Coast q Africa. /"
The difficulty about the coolie question IS the
disposition Of the settlers 70 deal with coolies
as with slaves, practically by keeping them
for term Of years and by enforcing impris-
onment uron them in the event Of their re-
fusing TO labor. The London Spectator makes

Political Bla KIM Il ling.

We wonder If Governor Tilden really sees
the position into which he is slowly drifting
on this question of the removal OF L. Della
field Smith from the Office of Corporation
Counsel. Nearly six months ago Mayor
Wickham, in pursuance Of his duties as the
chief municipal officer of the city, preferred
charges against Mr.. Smith and removed him
from his Office of Corporation Counsel, to
which he had been appointed by A. Oakley
Hall The gravamen Of these charges was
that Mr.. Smith had not shown proper vigil
lance in prosecuting the Ring thieves.
Whether this allegation was fair or
rot ii is certain that Mr.. Smiths sue
cess has not been conspicuous. II
was perfectly right for Mr.. Wickham to re-
move Mr.. Smith, and it was the duty Of the
Governor either to approve or disapprove of
his removal. During six months the ques-
ton has been in allegiance. Governor Tilden
has quietly pocketed the letter removing the
Corporation Counsel and left him suspended
between heaven and earth Mr. Smith IS the
chief law officer OF the ely, and yet he remains
under the ban Of official dlsapprcbation. He
is called upon to represent the city Of New
York before her courts and at the same time
he has been publicly arraigned by no less q
person than the Mayor in a communication
written by as eminent jurist as Mr. O'Conor,
and approved, we believe, by a lawyer as
eminent as Samuel J. Tilden, as unworthy Of
his Office. As if to make the case even moro
curious we find that not long since Mr.. Smith
appointed to an important Office gentleman
VINO had been a clerk TO Dir. TIlden or a law
partner We find that on Friday he made
another appointment Of a person who is called
by q contemporary a 'prot6gf Of Mr. Tilden. "
Now, the scandal is that Governor Tilden is
IN the position Of holding knife sharpencd
by Mayor Wickham over the head OF Mr.
smith. To save his head Mr. Smith Is dill
gently appointing business partners aud friends
Of Mr.. Tlldcn to Office This is a
serious scandal, and although it may
be looked upon by as high and
mighty man as the Governor as a small
matter 1t is not 1t is a serious question Gov
eruor Tilden either should dismiss Mr.. Smith
from his Office or reinstate him. He cannot
afford to allow the impression to 20 ont
among the people that while he is in the
attitude Of menace toward the Corporation
Counsel he is accepting at the same time
courteses and favors for his friends. That in
private life would be called blackmalling

wise suggestion when it saws "that were
the single principle that contract TO labor is
civil debt, and nothing else, fairly carried
out there would be very little oppression.
Labor should be bought and sold as sugar is
purchased, and then the coolies would work
for those who treat them we'll and pay them
properly. One problem is how to punish kid
mapping, which is one of the evils attending
the coolie trade, and it is properly suggested
that if kidnapping were made piracy and
punishable with death it would be over in
year

PoRrUGAL AND SLAVERY. The announce
ment that the Portuguese government has
abolished slavery will be received with
qualification by all who believe in tho
march Of civilization. BY this act, informa-
ton Of which has been received at the State
Department slavery viii cease on April
%, 1878, and there will be ian end to
slavery forever in Portugal and her Dependent
cies." Furthermore, this net, which was
passed in the Portuguese Cortes on
the 22d Of March last by reclamation,
prochims ''the freedom Of apprentices and
the abolition in the Portuguese dominions of
mans apprenticeship to man and declares
that the labor Of the apprentices now under
tutelage IS free and that they are at liberty to
make their own contracts, subject only to the
revision Of the proper authority" It is dis
grace to the civilization Of Spain that while
even Portugal has succeeded in abolishing
this crime against humanity there should
be any hesitation in taking the same action il

Spanish dependencies.
