THE Cincinnati Gazette has treated the
Presidents connection with the investIga-
tions into the st. Louis whisky frauds 30
fairly that we are somewhat astonished to
find in its columns of recent date an un-
fair allusion to Supervisor Tutten's letter.
The Gazette says Mr.. Tutten blundered in
exposing the fact that he influenced the
Presidentto revoke the order transferring su-
peryisors, and adds that it is virtual asser-
ton Of the existence of ga state of disor-
"ganizatlon and interference which would
"make national administration impos-
"sible." II the GGsstte had carefully read
the letter in question 1t would haye discov-
cred that the reason for the revocation of
the order indicated desire topromote good
national administration, because it plainly
demonstrated the fact that the premature
announcement of the intention to change
supervisors had served to warn the
whisky thieves that it was time to
put their books in order-in other
words, to "coyer their tracks" The revo-
cation of the order was therefore absolutely
necessary as an agency to restore confidence
to the fraudulent operators and thereby
enable new batch Of detectives to "work
up" the matter and insure the punishment
of the guilty parties.

indifference the manifold barbarities heaped
upon this enslaved race Is sanctioning system
Of governm mt which is cruel and positively
wrong Mr.. Greeley gave hi, life to the cause
of fieedom, and whitelaw Reid Is giving his
Journal to the STAKEHOLDER ami the devil.
The Word, in sn editorial entitled "Mexico
AMI Texas," says: "The vital difficulty of the
problem is that while Mexicois probably una
BILE to establish an adequate military force on
her side Of the line, we are certainly, under
the present Administration, Indifferent to es-
tablishing an adequate military iorce on our
side Of the line" This is a strange position
for the World to put itself in. A few days
since It furnished its readers with long arti-
Gle, in which 1t attacked the army as beipg an
unnecessary institution, draining the public
Treasury, and in return rendering no real sub
stantial benefit to the country. Now 1t is
blaming the Administration for not establish
ing an adequate military force on our side of
the Mexican and Texan line, when 1t is tlor-
oughly conversant with the fact that, owfngto
the skeleton condition of the army, tis impos-
sible to spare any more troops for that section
of the country. In times Of peace it is neces-
sary, for the security of every country, to be
prepared for war, and with the knowledge of
this the World talks boisterously for army re-
duction in one breath and blames the Admin
istration in the next for not crowding
its frontier with the military, to guard 10
from the predatory incursions of thieving BAN
ditti. In forgetting dates and being inconsist-
ent we know of no paper with such world
wide reputation as has the World.

The stupidity of the so-cilled journal
lists who have given publicity to the tale
that General Babcock intends to attempt
to escape trial in ST. Louis for alleged COM
plicity with the whisky ring. by becoming
a witness before Congressional investi-
eating committee, is simply amazing. In
the first place, even if the law operated to
prevent his indictment after he had been q
Congressional witness, it would be inopera-
tive now because he has been already in
dicted. In the next place no one who
knows General Babcock, or has any due
appreciation of the responsibilities which
are placed upon him by surrounding cir
cumstances, will believe that he designs to
evade the full and complete legal investigs-
ton of the charges against him which can
only be had before a court of justice. He
will accept of nothing less than trial be-
fore competent United States court, and
the undoubted result will be his acquittal.
As the victim of a conspiracy, the most
barefaced and stupendous ever conceived
in free country, he is entitled to warm
and generous sympathy instead of being
subjected to the glaring ISLANDERS contained
in the article TO which we refer. 1t is to
be hoped that time will both vindicate him
and punish his maligners.

'Tf Spain continues to interpret civilized
warfare as it now does, by the offering of
reward for the heads of aggressive Cubans,
Mr.. Fish NAV indeed inaugurate movement
of this kind p Washington Correspondence Of
the Baltimore american.
This assertion of the views of Gov. Fish,
from strange and unexpected source, re-
lates to possibility that combination
"of Powers in the interest of humanity
may make overtures to the United States
"to join with them in putting an end to
the brutal system of warfare" which is
now being pursued by the Spaniards on
the island of Cuba. Evidently there Is
some mistake here, because if overtures
should be made by combination of Powers,
or a single Power, he would not be entitled
to the credit of having inaugurated the
movement. The more probable story
is, that he has already taken the lead and
asked other Powers to join the United
States in protest against the repeated bar
barities of the Spaniards. If he has done
this, every true American will render
cheerful thanks, and one more step will
have been taken in the direction of the
final abolition of slavery.

RErREEcHNEEr.

1t is sad to think that the great New
York dailies have reduced the salaries and
allowances of their Washington corre-
spondents. Appearances indicate not only
that the wages of these employees have
been cut down, but that they have been
cut down very materially-to ante war
rates. 1t is very hard on the ''boys" to be
obliged to live on these low wages, but the
spirit of retrenchment and reform has
taken such deep root in the minds of the
managers of these great dailies that they
have determined to apply those principles
to their own establishments. The Ecsning
Post has even reduced its price to three
cent?, and, no doubt, its advertising rates in
proportion. In demonstrating the prac-
ticsbility of reducing the expenses of the
Government to the level of the appropri-
ations of 1850, it occurred to these great
journals that if the Government could be
run" upon the figures OF 1860 SO could
newspapers. Hence the wsiliugs of
Newspaper Row and the lamenta-
tions of the attaches of the. several
retrenching journals in New York.
But, then, the advertisers and readers are
benefited, for of coursa these high-minded
and honorable managers have followed the
advice they giveto Congress in this respect,
and lowered their taxes upon the public in
the same proportion that they have re-
trenched their expenditures. While we
congratulate the New York public we still
sympathize with the sslaried editors, corre-
spondents and reporters. The HeraEd's
Washington expenses during the winters
since the war have exceeded by about five
hundred per cent. those of 1860, while
those of all the other journals have been
doubled or trebled since 1860. We doubt
the wisdom of this retrenching policy on
the part of the New York press. 1t will
involve the closing of gorgeous offices
and the discharge of several members of
the corps, while those retained will only
receive the retrenched rates. The news
columns of the journals may suffer some,
but the news is deemed of character too
unreliable to be of much consequence,
aud when weighed in the balance with
that consistency which is so valuable to the
New York press, and which demands the
sacrifice, is really unworthy of serious con-
sideration. .

was an utter failure. The Hon. Frank W.
Palmer, editor-in-chiefo Of that journal, re-
pudiates the whole story, with the sate-
ment that its publication was unauthorized.
Secretary Bristow and General Babcock
deny it, and their denials are backed up by
convincing circumstantial as well as direct
evidence from Louisville. Cincinnati and
other points, besides the point-blank asser-
ton of the Hon. Sam. Randall. The world
at large does not believe it, because it is SO
clumsily put together as to show inconsist-
ency and conflict of assertion on its face.
Besides this, spirit of personal animosity
is dIscernible in every line of it. The only
result that can follow from its publication
will be to attract sympathy for General
Babcock and General Bristow as the victims
of base persecution, and make the latter
stronger than ever before as possible can
didate for President result which the
promoters of this vile black. mailing scheme
will very much dislike to see.

General Boy nron.

1t is rumored alcng Newspaper Row that
General Boynton has been negotiated with as
the editor, under a new management, of the
st. Louis Globe Democrat. General Boynton
is holding a place now of more Importance
Ihan be would as editor of any journal. Few
people appreciate and few owners of journals
care to know the Importance of an able, honest
gentleman here as their Washington editor,
for that is what the reporter aui correspond
ent should be. In all scientific pursuits the
abIest and best-trained minds are used in de-
yeloping facts. The classifying of such facts
and the conclusions to be drawn from them
are left 10 lesser intellects. The journalistic
world reverses this and gives to the cruder
intellect the work ofdiscovery while the clearer
minds are kept at home for comment and con-
clusions. The removal of General
Boynton, even for promotion, would be grave
loss TO Journalism, and IL the Globe Democrat
is successful in its proposed reorganization, 1t
would be better to retain him here during the
session of Congress as its Washington editor.
General Boynton, by his fairness, high courage,
clererness, and, above all, his unimpeachaole
integrity, has won for himself an enyiable
national reputation, and we trust oar sug-
gestion may lie considered and acted on.

OUT OF HIS OWN MOUTH BE Is CON.

Some nameless scribbler in last Sundays
Capital attempts to defend the Mississippi
Democracy from the charges made in Sena-
tor Morton's resolution. We have hereto
fore shown conclusiNely how the vote ofMis-
sissippi, uniniuenced by rifles and revol-
vers, would stand, and do not intend to re-
view the ground already gone over. What
we have said on the subject stands unchal.
lenged because the proof offered was un.
controvertible. But let that pass. This
defender of the rife and revolver system
ofsufrsge says he has resided in Mississippi
for months, and was there during the last
election. From some of his descriptions of
the scenes, distorted as they are, we are
inclined to credit this assertion. He tells
the truth when he says mounted and armed
bands of men rode through the country,
and only lies when he inserted the word
''black" in the sentence. His description
of the barbecue and speaking Of the Demo-
cratic candidate marks this scribbler as
q poet; at least it proves that he has
one Of the most necessary powers Of
poet-a vivid imagination. But his de.
scription of ''the Radical barbecue" proves
too much. He says the Democrats were
determined not to cSrry their rifles; that
no one should be intimidated. So they
only took their revolvers. One of ''the
handsome young bloods'' could not re-
strain his fiery steed, and for convenience
sake carried his revolver in his right hand,
and at present. or course, this enabled
him to handle his untamed steed
with greater ease. All horsemen
know that horse can be controlled better
with one hand than with two. And what
an indignity was put upon this handsome"
fellow A man Of 'the purest colored
blood" at whom the pistol was probably
pointed, "wrenched it from his hand"
Oceans of ''purest colored blood" could
hardly wash out such an insult. So off 90

THE article in the Washington core
spoDdence of the New York Tribune of
Saturday last. in regard to the action of
Acting Secretary Cowan in the matter of
certain Arkansas State bonds and the issue
of agricultural land scrip to that State,
lacks one very important item to render
the history of that transaction complete.
The fact is that the old bonds of that State,
which were held in trust by the Secretary
OF the Interior, were exchanged for new
bonds, covering principal and accrued in
terest, in accordance with an agreement
entered into prior to the release of the land
scrip, and the new bonds are still in the
hands of the Secretary of the Interior.
There was no impropriety whatever in the
transaction, which was regarded at the
time, and is yet, as proper, regular and
strictly legal.

a hart time. Whenever q riot is begun

the press agents call them, thus get shot
down like sheep by the whites, and are so
un'killful in the use of their weapons that
when they do shoot they invariably hit

What terror they must be to the whites |
When Senator Morion's resolution is
passed he should call upon "the naueless
one" of the Oapital to give him the locali-
ties where the scenes he depicts occurred,
as they are just whatth Senator says hap
pened in many parts of the State.
