What happened Why simply this in 1870
tbe noople saw that several very conspicuous
ner.nns he'd fallen out from the Republican
leadership. Mr.. Buffers whip 10 longer
snapped in the House or in the party at home; (;
MIR. Carpenter and Mr. Chandler had retired
from the Senate; other leaders OF less note
had fallen into the background; there were
Cabinet changes, and changes for the better;
Bristow and Jewell and Pierrcpont were
Initiating reforms in their departments,
and Mr.. DelanO was about to retire from the
Interior Department; the call of Gov Ames
of Mississippi for troops was refused; ana
in various directions there were indications
that the Administration and the party hah
learned several things worth knowing within
the wear. 1t was upon the strength oi these tac'5
that the people acted in the elections of 1919
and restored in part to the Republicans what had
been taken from them the year previous. lie

Republican party does not need to work up

THE scHEycK CAAE ONCE MORE.

The remarkable letter of Mr. Albert Grant
to which our London correspondent refers this
morning, seems to make tie position OF
Gen. >chcnck still worse than 1T was
before. 1t is quito possible that Mr..
Grants story is inaccurate but he is Gen.
Schenck's associate and very good friend
and his word can hardly he questioned by tho
unfortunate diplOmatist whom he il isawliwardly
trying to serve, however it may be doubted by
other persons. The fact il every attempt to
extricate Gen. Schenck from the mlre results
in his sinking little deeper. HIS own
struggles and the tugsiDg OF his friends are
equally i'll vain.
Some of the embaiTnssmcnts which tho long
publication of Mr.. Albert Grants has brought
upon our Minister at London are fully explained
in our correspondents letter. And here Is an
other. Gen. Schcnck is understood to say
(ths is Mr. Revcrdy Johnsons statcmenU that
although hc had n perfect right to give
his name to the Emma Mining Company
az director, che, on reflection, Thought
81 his name ought not 10 appear, and
"at once resigned But Mr.. Albert Grant
SAYS "Mr. Park told ne that the President
"of the United States had tclegraphcd to Gen.
"Schenck that his political enemies were max
ling 20 much out of his having Joined
private undertaking a director that he
Legged and urged him to send i'll his resig-
"nation rs a director of the company And
Mr. Grant adds that ho was present AT a
meeting of the Board when Cen. Schenck
made statement to precisely the same effect
i'll explanation of his resignation.
Ii must now be evident to everybody, in
Guiding both the President and the Embassa-
dor that Gen. Schcnck did no good by resign
ing his dircctorSlip when lie ougiit to have
resigned his diplomatic post. 1t Is still more
incumbent upon him TO lay down the latter
Office now than it then. When the first
demand was made for his retirement from the
Board he tells US that he felt 1t point OF
honor to remain. What does honor dictate
now when his diplomatic position has become
the only shield that protects him from the
prosecution instituted against his associatcsf

ILTER1RY CURIOSITY.

The letters on International Copyright con-
tributcd by Mr.. Charles Reade few months

some ferment in the literary world, and pro-
duced one rather curious result, of which we
give an account in the distinguished noyelists

"clicitrd by my letters" he writes, " are

The effect of the depression OF business IN
reducing the number of emf grants from Europe
to this country is very apparent In the stats-
,;cs of their arrival at New York furnished by
the Commissioners of Emigration Bat even
with the smaller number of immigrants-a third
of those in 1873-the Commissioners find them
selves embarrassed An overwhelming debt
presses upon the Commission, and not only
contracts its usefulness but threatens 10 stop
it's work altogether. Such result Wouid re-
store the old systems of fraud and extoruoh
which fattened on newly arrived Immigrants
before the work at Castle Garden was orgail-
lied under its present direction, and would be
a great shame to New-York.
We print the details of Mr.. Morrison's pro-
posed tariff as current news, but with strong
suspiciOn that the matter Is not worm the
space. If Mr. MOrrisOns party had q fair
chance of carr, ing such a measure through
the Senate, 1t would deserve the gravest con-
sideration AS it is, we suppose neither party
expects to make anything out OF 1t,
unless in the way of Presidential
capital Business men will probably give them
selves little concern over it. OF course its es-

substituted for dd ralOrem. The more I'M
portant alterations are as follows re-
ducton of the duty on coarse manu-
featured cottons by one-half; finer goods one
fifth; yarns 20 and spool thread 30 per cent.
Woods and woolen goods are greatly reduced

Pig iron is to pay So instead of - per ton;

Cigars are to pay uniformly So 80 per pound,
instead of So 80 and % per cent. The chief
items of increase are in taking from the free
list tea, which is to pay 10 cents, and coffee,
to pay 4 cents per pound. In general SIM
plication of rates is attempted.

The authorities at St. Louis have said for
some time past that nothing could prevent the
conviction of both Mckee and Babcock but
the purchase of juryman. That transaction
proved impossible, there being no stock OF
crooked jurymen on the old fogy ST..
Louis market. Mckee is convicted, and
1t must be confessed that the situation sug-
gests even more startling possibilities in tho
near future. Meantime the Administration
party is without an organ in St. Louis, unless
it is willing to have its principal journal in
the State edited from the State Pcnteutiary.
Ii Is all melancholy business.
