HONESTY AND BRAINS.

The Republican State Convention OF Penn.
sylvania yesterday reiterated their declaration
in favor Of more honesty and more brains in
the leaders Of the party and the servants OF
the people. 1t will not be denied that among
the members of their party there is plenty
Of talent and plenty of integrity for all the
offices Of trust and honor in the gift Of the
people. The difficulty is to get ability and
honesty to the front, the nominations and
places being now monopolized by men Of
limited ability and Of low, moral grade. The
Republicans of Pennsylvania are we'll aware
that rogues in myriads are banded and
leagued against the better classes Of their
party and that their activity, audacity,
shrewdness and skill, stimulated by the direct
monetary interest, make them dominant in
many and powerful in all party councils.
Until the late election in New Hampshire
we were inclined to think that all Conserve
tives would be cheered in laboring for the
restoration Of the regime Of honesty by many
accessions from the Republican party; but
since the adhesion of the Radicals of that
State to the foul standard Of Grantism and
corruption, in spite Of thickening exposures
of official Radical villsiny, our expectations
in that regard have measurably subsidized.
This seems to be q fit time to expect pop
ular revulsion against official dishonesty and
the damaging influence which money exsr-
cises in the control of public affairs. But the
signs Of such revulsion are not cheering.
Ohio Republicans pronounce themselves
satisfied with the organization, the measures
and the leaders Of their party. A few weeks
afterwards the Republicans Of Pennsylvania
did the same. After an interval of four
months, during which colossal Radical swim
dies, frauds and defAlcations were exposed,
New Hampshire Republicans score signal
victory for the party, sustaining the hordes Of
thieves of whom few had been exposed. .
With this experience before us, we are able
to estimate the real value Of the declarations
at Harrisburg respecting honesty and eff
cheney in Office.

the scale of equity and justice in order to
conform to various industrial or sectional in
forests.
It is not probable that import duties for
revenue can be dispensed with. The people
Of the several States would scarcely bear the
pressure Of q sufficient direct tax to maintain
the Federal Government, unless upon scale
Of chronic restitution and ineficiency. How
to raise q just revenue by means Of tariff
must, therefore. remain the varying and
troublesome problem which each Congress in
succession will be called upon to solve.

BLACK TROOPS.

The House Committee on Military Affairs
has Initiated a movement in the right direc-
ton in abolishing the negro regiments. The
proper way to do this appears to be to refuse
the enlistment Of any more colored recruits,
as well as the re-enlistment of the colored
men now in service. This, with the permits
sion to be discharged before the period of SER
vice expires, would leave but few colored SOL
diers in the army. What black comm issioned
officers there are, although few in number,
may be the cause Of some embarrassment after
their commands are removed from service
What can be done with them to make their
service profitable is not readily apparent. The
fact can not be disguised or ignored that
there is and must always be a marked anti
patty to them on the part of white officers.
The universal disgust among white cadets
when negro boy was added to their number
very nearly interprets the general disfavor
with which negro officers are received and
treated by white men Of the same rank. It
must be almost impossible for q negro captain
or lieutenant to control q company of white
men, whether on post, garrison or patrol duty
or in the field Itwould be better for the SER
vice to give each and all of them an indefinite
leave of absence, the loss of the amount of
their pay being small evil in comparison
with the damage that must result from fore
ing them into association with reluctant white
off GERS.
Probably the worst negroes in the Repub-
lie are those who are now in service or have
been discharged. There is no doubt that
passable soldiers can be made of Africans,
the rule being that discipline will supply
everything else needed by a soldier except
sound and sane condition of body and mind.
But the country has an abundance of white
men who can always be hired to enlist tor low
wages, cheap clothing and rough fare, in
service which requires but little labor and
less care.
If the Senate concurs with the House in the
proposed bill there will be gradually turned
loose upon the public many negroes who will
be comparatively unfit for citizenship on
account Of the depravity which military dis
cipline restraints but can not cure.

PROPOSED TARIFF CHANGES.

A statement has been prepare showing
the amount of imports for the year ended
June 80, 1875, their value, the rate Of duty.
and the amount received, together with the
decrease in duty that will result on the same
amount and value of imports under the pro-
posed new duties as comprised in the Morri-
son bill.
The decrease on manufactures of cotton
would be on the quantity imported in 1875,
81, 724, IA; ON iron and manufactures Of iron
and steel. $1,197.OOO; on lead, $27l, 900; on
silk and manufactures of silk, 81, 234, 67l; on
wool and manufactures of wool, 8.263, 308;
on all other articles which would be affected
by the proposed tariff, 81 ,597.622. A few
items would show an increase, IS follows:
pigs and bars Of lead, $232O; tobacco and
Gig rs, $42l, l0l; coffee, $50, 489; tea. 3d.
FOG, 2l1; tin, $345. 757.
The total decrease e above is 81, 2SS 343,
while the increase would be on the same i'm
portation IL. 56S. TT, the increase on tea and
coffee alone amounting to SIS, ZIG, 700.
The effect Of the changes proposed bx the
Morrison bill would thus appear to bs reduc-
ton of duties on foreign goods to be made up
BY tax of cents . pound on coffse and Is
cents ON tea. The importations Of coffee for
the fiscal year ending June 80. 1875. were
81, O16, 800 pounds, valued ct $50. 448, 85l.
The friends of protection urge that the de-
Grease Of dates on foreign manufactures
which come in competition with our own will
produce excessive importaiions, and work
very serious injury to the capital and labor
invested and employed in American mills,
while the agricultural classes will suffer more
from the increased cos. of tea and coffee than
they can possibly gain by the reduced pricss
Of other imports.
To obtain an adequate revenue by means Of
duties on imports, the only available plan of
supporting the Federal Government that has
been found in the course Of thrse-fourths Of
century. has always been problem compli-
Gated with numerous difficulties. The amount
to be obtained being known, the aim is, or
should be, to raise it by import duties SO laid
as to do the least possible injury to vested in
teresie, 80 as to bear with q pressure nearly
uniform upon al classes, and SO as to be IS
nearly ss possible equivalent in effect and
pressure to direc, tax. This knotty problem
has never yet been solved in this couasry, our
import duties having been made to vary from

the cards and dominoes, ETC., held
by each of the gentlemen by whom
they were held. This did appear
a trihe perplexing, as the gentlemen
who held the cards, dominoes, ETC.,
had been allowed to draw them
from the box and pack themselves,
and as the nature and size of the
books used made it appear to the
average mind a life study to commit
to memory any portion of them.
After this a little recess was
taken, the audience having the
pleasure Of realizing that at any
given date in the future NJ. Gaze
neuve could without difficulty in
form them or their friends of the
precise number of beer glasses
emptied and cocktails consumed.
The second portion Of the enter
tainment introduced a simple little
trick. One of the audience was
given a sealed envelope to hold,
while another gentleman proceeded
to unwind a ball of string, which
was presently cut by the shears of
the magician; in the meantime
cards and dominoes had been passed
around, various people helping
themselves, and behold after this,
when the sealed envelope was
opened, there appeared a written
statement of the exact length of
the cord cut at random and a list
Of the cards, dominoes, ETC., chosen
among the audience. After this ii
was no matter of great surprise
when another double sealed envel-
ope was found to contain a. paper
upon which various parties had
written whatsoever they pleased,
and which they had subsequently
seen destroyed in the flames of q
sulphur match.

with her clothes clinging to her,
she is stalwart as a section of Solo

hair is fit for bowstrings; like shafts
