LET Mr.. FISH RESIGN. Secretary of
important officer under our government
says that he was not consulted, nor did he see
the two dispatches which were sent to Gen.
eral Sheridan declaring that the whole Cabi-
net approved of his course. He is understood
the military in Louisiana. How then can
Mr.. Fish remain in Cabinet in which he has
been misrepresented and officially made an
accomplicc IN deeds which he disapproves?
Would Marcy have borne sucn degradation
tamely, or Webster or Seward? Undoubt-
edly they would have resented such an insult
by resignation, and we do not see how Mr.
Fish can any longer hold his position In the

How1tng.

If anything will destroy the moral effect Of
the victory of the conservatives in the issue
forced upon them by President Grants usur-
patton in Louisiana it will be the tone adopted
by such men as Andrew johnson and Mr..
Lyons, of Virginia. These gentlemen, and
some of our Senators like them, see in this
controversy only an opportunity for the dis
play of temper. Mr.. johnson was never o
moderate man, and as he is now candidate
for the Senate we can understand the eager
ness of his rhetoric. We can hardly be patient
when we see the ex-President describing his
successor as ga little man, physically and
mentally" and Sheridan as ga little upstart"
as depending upon spurious reputation"
and as managing to ''come in and claim the
laurels when better men have won the VIC
tory" 1t is unworthy of the dignity of a gen.
tleman who was President of the United
States. 1t represents passion, not justice.
Judge Lyons addresses letter to the Cover
nor of Virginia which deplores the surrender
OF Lee and breaks into fury against General
Sheridan, who is "a butcher dog" and "infa-
nous Phil" 'howlng for the blood of South
ern men," Governor Kemper, of Virginia,
seems to have caught the spirit Of these hot
phrases, and he answers Judge Lyons in q
letter more guarded in tone, but incorporate
and unfortunate.
The temptation to lose ones temper over
events like those in Louisiana can be UNDER
stood. Nothing can be gained by turning
grave measure of constitutional right into o
vulgar attack upon the military career of
Grant and Sheridan. The effect will be that
the conservative republicans the men who
would be quite willing to criticise the admins
tration and condemn its acts in Louisiana
will feel that these voices are simply revival
of the spirit of the Confederacy. They will
be heard in vain. The public opinion of the
North is quite willing to censure the admins
tration for all it has done in defiance of popu-
lar sovereignty in the South, but it is not
ready to admit that the generals who have
commanded its armies are "quacks" and
'howling dogs"

cipai sources Of supply, therefore, are 0sr.
many and Great Britain. France sends
very few-not more than ten per cent Of ths
Germans. From Sweden and Norway the
emigration has almost ceased. Italy and
Russia contribute small number, but beyond
Great Britain and Germany and the German
States the arrivals from other foreign coun-
tries may be put under the election head Of
scattering
This does not represent the emigration to
our Pacific coast, almost exclusively OF Chinese
But the fact that We have los. nearly 100, OO0
Of our yearly supply of emigrants is serious
one. Now and then we have had spurts
OF "native American" passion, which pro-
posed to make political war upon the
foreigner. But the mature opinion of the
country is that our greatness and our growth
depend upon the emigration from the great
nations of Europe. What are the causes OF
this falling off? We look for some in tho
severe police system of the German Empire,
which throws every obstacle in the way of the
expatriation of the subject But the real
causes can be found in our national policy,
the depression of business, the disasters that
have befallen the agricultural interests in the
West and the general fear of hard times and
poverty. The failure of reconstruction in the
South practically closes that vast and rich
territory to the emigrant. The tendency
of the Germans and the English and the
Irish is to come to the United States. We
have freedom, opportunity, liberal laws
and genial customs There is scarcely .
State in which foreigner may not find some
one to whom he can speak about his home.
The arming Of Europe for new war, the
anxiety and suffering caused by the last wars,
the feeling in the minds of all men that We
are about to have conflict as gigantic as
that which overthrow Napoleon, the insecurity
which the mother feels about her son or her
husband, who may be dragged during the
night to follow the drum-bent that leads to the
battle feld-all these European connections
are SO many advantages in favor of the United
States. We have thrown them away. We
are throwing them away. We wantonly
abuse this rich and apparently in
exhaustible source of power. 1t is question
to interest our rulers OF Washington and New
York. There is no better opportunity for our
statesmen than to restore this fertile and
rapidly ebbing tide.

more to them than the vanishing honcrs OF
dying administration. Mr.. Blaine is leader
in republicanism. In year of cumulative
disaster he saved his State. Upon his brow
the crested honors of the coming fight seemed
to tall. He has an interest in the party be-
yond the President, because it is an interest
in the Presidency. He is young man, who
has made his own record and has his own
party following. Why should he plunge with
the administration into political perdition ?
Mr. Wilson, who was an honored
republican long before President Grant
ambition looked higher than on increase OF
his wages as tannery clerk in an obscure
frontier town, must remember the disdain
with which the President treated suggestions
which might have saved the canvass-sugges-
tons that there should be an explicit DECLARE
ton against the third term. He cannot ap-
prove the outrages in New Orleans, and he is
too brave man to even condone what he
does not sustain.
Is there any wonder that there should be
mutiny and restlessness and a tendency to
draw the lines In this way independent dem
ocrats drew the lines on Buchanan, when by
the aid of the army he endeavored to force
the Lecompton constitution upon the people
of Kansas. The result was that the admins
tration was destroyed, the party broke, and the
democracy were driven into a retirement from
which it is now only emerging. Let the indie
pendent republicans like Fish, Blaine and
Wilson think of anti-Lecompton and profit by
the lesson.

LET Mr.. BR1sTow RESIGN The Secretary
Of the Treasury denies that he ever authorized
Mr.. Belknap to telegraph General Sheridan
that ''alI of us thoroughly approve your
course" He declares that ''the despatch was
never seen by me until 1 saw it in the news

Mr.. Bristow's name virtually amount to it's
forgery, and can he consistently remain in .

case of domestic violence he cannot act with
out ON application from the State itself, by its
Legislature when it is either in session or can
bs convened. and by the Governor in sudden
emergencies of such urgency that the
Legislature cannot be assembled. On the
late occasion the Legislature of Louisiana
was actually in session, which fact COM
pletely stripped Governor Kellogg of all
authority to ask for federal troops With the
Legislature in session only the Legislature
had any right to make such a requisition, and
the President, in such circumstances had
no more authority to recognize and
grant request Of the Governor than
he had to employ the army in Louisiana on
the application of Marshal Packard or Collec-
tor Casey. This point is so clear that mere
statement carries its own evidence, and no
sophistry can confuse or weaken it The ac-
ton of the President has therefore not ON
inch of constitutional ground to stand upon.
We trust that this great and imposing meet
ing. so strong in numbers and personal re-
spectability, so strong in argument from re-
publican sources, and SO emphatic in its in
dorsement of sound constitutional positions,
may not be without influence in strengthening
Secretary Fish and other fair-minded republic
cans in high places in their opposition to the
fatal policy of President Grant

How tho city Finances Arc Managed.
Mr.. William E. Warren, an experienced
accountant, who is practically familiar with
the operations of the Finance Department of
the city government, calls attention through
the columns of the Evening Post to the mat
ter of interest on assessments collected from
the property owners assessed for improve
ments 1t appears that up to and including
the year 1870 the receipts from this source
were set off against the disbursements for in
terest on assessment bonds issued by the city
for and on account of such improvements,
and the surplus balance only was raised by
taxation. Mayor Wickham in his recent Mes
sage calls attention to the fact that some
twenty-one millions of these assessment
bonds are outstanding this year. The
Comptroller asks for interest on the
whole Of this amount, and the full sum of
such interest is included in the tax levy for the
current year. Mr.. Warren says:-'I under
stand that interest continues to be charged
upon assessments and collected by the Col
lector of Assessments and the Clerk Of Ar
rearS. Ii tQat IS so WnaC becomes OF the
money? If it is not applied toward paying
interest on assessment fund bonds, street i'm
provemept funds, &C., &C., as formerly, how
is it disposed Off"
These are pertinent inquiries. But the
whole matter of the collection of assessments
and arrears requires to be very thoroughly in
vestigated. AS the assessments come in what
is done with the money? How often and in
what amounts does it pass into the city treas
ury? How long does the Chamberlain hold it
before the bonds ore redeemed ? If it
is oil paid into the city treasury,
and goes into the banks of deposit as soon
as it is received, how long is it kept there
before the bonds are taken up and cancelled?
We get four per cent interest on our public
deposits; but we pay seven per cent interest
for the loans we make on account Of these i'm
provements on the several descriptions of
bonds, forming what is called our Temporary
debt" 1t is poor financial policy if we
keep money in bank at four per cent and
pay out seven per cent interest ON the money
we borrow. This assessment bond business
and the collection of personal taxes demand
very searching scrutiny.

DARING ROBBERY.
d. v. BOttO's Confectionery Establish
ment Entered and Robbed.
The Robbers Carry or Tive Watches
ana Sundry Sweets.

The well-known contectioner estab-
lishmeLt of d. V. Botto, situated at
the corner of Jefferson and Commerce
streets, was robbed Monday night The
burglar or burglars effected an entrance
through one of the windows in the
rear of the ladies' ice cream saloon,
and placing table against the door
dividing that room from the store
proper, pushed down the bolt fastening
the transom, and climbing over,
dropped to the floor. They carried Off
two dollars and fifty cents in nickels
from the till and n gold watch worth
seventy-tive dollars and a silver watch
worth ten dollars from one of the
showcases. Some canned goods
and oranges also disappeared to
satisfy their luxurious tastes, and
n box of prize package-candyis miss
ing. The robbery is supposed to have
been committed between the hours of
one ana TWO, as tho store Is generally
closed about midnight, and opened at
an early hour in the morning. The
burglars passed out through the kitch'
EN-, one of them leaving very distinct
impression in mud on the window; the
track is small one, and the inference
is that only one man was engaged in
the burglary. a similar robbery was
in the same neighborhood |
last week, Winners restaurant having
been entered about 8 o'clock in the eve-
ming, during the absence of the pro-
prietor and his wife, and plundered of
several boxes of cigars and sundry bot
ties of wine.
