The vienna scandal.

We print elsewhere trenchant letter from
Hon. John JAY formerly our Minister to
Vienna, in reference to the scandals arising
ont of the American Commission. Mr.. Jay
contends that the record was unfairly used
that persons guilty of dishonoring the gov
ernment were protected, and those who sus-
tanned its honor were not supported That the
truth may be known Mr. Jay contends that
the record in the State Department should be
printed. The whole business in Vienna was
bad from the beginning to the end, commence
ing with the appointment by Mr.. Fish of
weak and indifferent people to represent the
government, some of whom were knaves. Mr.
Jay shows in his letter that the government
practically gave currency to story that he
himself was interested in sewing machines,
n charge that on its face is ludicrous. He
complains that the appointment of General
Van Buren, to high position is an in
dorscment of this calumny, and that the
evidence submitted to the government
was in no case clearly given to the world;
that there werc suppressions and evasions,
and that for truths sake the whole truth
should be known. We entirely agree with
Mr.. Jay that if any injustice has been
done the truth should be known; and,
as there seems no better way than to print
the record, the government owes it to the
cause of truth TO give It to the world without
delay.

MIR. Woods Report In Favor OF the
Hawaiian Reciprocity Treaty.

Mr.. Fernando Wood, from the Committee
of Ways and Means, has submitted to the
House a report strongly indorsing the reci-
procity treaty and recommending the neces-
sary legislation for carrying it into effect.
Besides providing for free exchange of the
productions of the two countries it contains
n stipulation binding the Hawaiian King to
make no similar treaty with any OTHER Power,
and engaging that so long as this treaty
remains in force he will not lease or otherwise
dispose of or create any lien upon any port,
harbor or other territory in his dominions. or
grant any special privilege or rights of use
therein to any other Power, State or govern
ment" We regard this as the most valuable
part of the treaty and the controlling motive
for making it. There are strong national rea-
sons why we should object to any other
nation getting n foothold in those islands or
gaining control of any of their harbors.
Great Britain covets them as q naval station
for building mp her power in the Pacific and
their possession would complete the chain of
her naval stations between Australia and
British Columbia. In case of war few ships
would annihilate our commerce in the Pacific
Ocean, if they had such harbors as those of
the Hawaiian Islands, open in winter and
summer where the prizes could be taken for
condemnation without much loss of time,
promptly releasing the cruisers to go in quest
of other prey
The commercial advantages of the treaty
will be considerable, and they will have to
be paid for in equivalents; but even if there
should be balance in favor of the islands
in a merely commercial view it will be more
than Offset by the exclusion of other nations.
Under the stimulating effect of the treaty the
productions of the islands would be greatly
increased and the United States would have
a monopoly of their growing trade There
would be large emigration from this coun-
try to develop the resources of the islands,
and they would become practically colony
of the United States with such preponder-
ance of American sympathy and sentiment
that ere long no treaty would be necessary
for excluding other foreign influence. The
treaty is to remain in force seven years, and
either party may then terminate it by giving
one years notice to the other. There is no
reason to doubt that the House will adopt
the recommendation of Mr. Woods report
and pass the necessary bill. It is made the
special order for Thursday.

Private Secretary BnbcOck Neither
Resigns Nor is Dismissed.

We regret to find that General Babcock
resumed his duties yesterday at the Presi-
Dental Mansion as if nothing had hap
pened. He denies that he offered his resig-
nation, asserts that he does not intend to
offer it, and it is not expected that the Presi-
dent will require it. We are sorry that
President Grant is not disposed to make this
concession to the public sense of propriety.
1t would have been a suitable indication of
regret for his intimate personal association
with the leaders of the Whiskey Ring. His
former intimacy with those disgraced people
should be alike deplored by himself and the
country, and a President who wishes TO keep
his honor clear should have no hesitation in
acknowledging his imprudence and want of
penetration. He was more to blame than
Babcock for having such cronies, be-
cause the latter could not very well
withhold his confidence from the
Presidents friends. dismissal of Bab-
cock would of course imply some self
condemnation, but it is incumbent on the
President to make amends for having been
caught in criminal company. Such an
acknowledgment would have been equiv
alent to Withdrawing his third term pre-
tensions, and would have been all the more
welcome on that account. But it turns out
that he comedies nothing and is determined
to hold every inch of ground on which q
battery could be planted against the third
term. Be his chances what they may, he
refuses to weaken them by any act of his
own.
He must count great deal on the chapter
of accidents if he expects to recover what
has been lost since the Indictment of
General Babcock But he was born to luck.
and fortune may not desert him. There is
one obvious circumstance in his favor in the
number and mutual jealousy of his compet-
itors. Blaine would rather have Grant than
either Conkling or Morton Morton would
rather have Gmnt than either Blaine or Conk-
ling Conkling in turn would rather have
Grant than any member of the trio but him
self. But as none of the trio will start in
the Convention with majority it lis possi-
| BILE that the strongest of them will be dis
/ posed of by coalition of the others in favor
of General Grant. 1t has become evident
that the President will not surrender shred
of his pretensions so long there is no con-
I centration of republican sentiment in favor
! of any rival
The New York herald., 1876-02-29

nothing compared with the disasters that
would have followed. 1t would have been
disintegration, the beginning Of what we
have seen in the republics of South America
the pronunciamento superseding the ballot.
The people of New York, even republicans,
saw that it was far better to bear the
ills they had than fly to others they knew
not of-the evils of repudiation and revolu-
ton.
So we say to our friends in the South, and
more especially to those in Mississippi and
Louisiana, if it can be proved that Ames
and Kellogg are guilty of "high crimes and
misdemeanors, let them be removed. But
be sure of the proof. Let il be something
more than passion. 1t is not enough that
Ames and Kellogg are ''carpet baggers" and
''scalawags;" that they have used their offices
to help their party; that they are partisans;
that they have dealt harshly with political
enemies Every act of the white men in the
South will be scrutinized by the grand
inquest of the nation. We shall have ''re-
pudiation" and revolution ringing from
every husting Ames and kellogg will be-
come martyrs. The war feeling will be in
voked. There may be outbreaks that will
call from the President military inter
ference. The Southern States are good
for one hundred and twenty-seven cleo
toral votes without which there will be no
election by the democrats of their President.
1t will only require an order from the War
Department to swing at least fifty of these
votes-those of Arkansas, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, Alabama and North Carolina-back
again to the republican line. The policy in
the South is peace Avoid all revolutionary
expedients Let impeachment be remedy
for high crimes and misdemeanors, not
political expedient. Treat the negro as q
political equal Do not drive him into the
arms of thieves Teach him that suffrage
means good government and low taxes. Do
not accept every victory as meaning neces-
sarily the determination of political oppo-
nents. When Jubal Early defeated his
Yankee adversaries, instead of pursuing his
victory with order and discipline he took to
plundering the camps. Before the sun went
down he was routed fugitive. Let the
Southern democrats ponder well this
example, remembering that victories like
those for which they are preparing in
Louisiana and Mississippi may bring in
their train defeat as terrible as that
which sent the needless Early ''whirling
down the valley"

The WAR IN SPAIN.-The Carlist war,
which has agitated Spain and injured her
national existence for such a lengthy period,
has now ended. Don Carlos has parted
from his more immediate personal followers
and sought refuge on the soil of France. He
entered the territory of the Republic yester-
day. This is Alfonso's grand Opportunity.
The question remains, Can he improve it SO
as to make it useful to the Spanish nation
and himself? His friends and supporters
have assured the world in the affirmative.
1t looks bad, however, to find that in the
very first moment of triumph Marfor the
ill-starred favorite of Isabella, should have.
been set free and that the question of the
ex-Queen's return should have been sub
mitted as an agitating puzzle to an over
worked and somewhat nervous Ministry in
Madrid.

tee ofthc Whole. 1t was agreed to reduce
the salary Of the Mayor TO ten thousand dol

Mayor nor the Comptroller should receive
any salary after the expiration of the term of

Foster it was resolved to reduce the Commits
sioners of Docks, Charities and Correction,
Health, Taxes and Assessments to one Com

officials, as fixed in the bill, will be reduced
twenty-five per cent

an extreme case, perhaps; but most families

their effort to bring about the removal OF
Secretary Bristow by the. overwhelming
power of public sentiment as represented
through the press of the country, have now
turned their attention to District Attorney
Dyer, hoping to demoralize the whiskey
prosecutions in Chicago, Milwaukee and else
where by the suppression of this acute and
faithful officer. Their success in this effort
would have quite as disastrous an effect upon
President Grant and the republican party as
would the removal of the Secretary of the
Treasury and it is to be hoped, in the in
terest of both and the country at large, that
their representations will meet with no coun-
tenance or encouragement at the White
House.

The Horse Cars.

Mr. Butler, of the Sixth Avenue Railroad,
adds himself to the number of those who
testify that the street car system is a failure.
He produces figures to show that if these
cars carry their passengers properly they
will become bankrupt without exception
that unless they have the privilege to treat
passengers as third class freight-iam them
in and pile them up and add few moro at
every corner-they cannot escape the Sher-
if S officer. All this is based, as we have
said over and over again, on false figures.
Nobody cares to argue with these men as to
whether their lines can be operated prop
erly and pay dividends and interest on
presumed capital four or five times greater
than the cost of the lines. 1t is evident,
however, that run as they are they can pay
dividends on an excessive valuation. Now,
if any one of these lines had cost half as
much as its declared value it would have
twice as many cars and horses as 1t
now possesses, and the interest on the other
part of its fictitious valuation would be
enough to pay the supplementary drivers
and conductors 1t would have then all its
actual present earnings to use Just as 1t uses
them. 1t is evident, therefore, that the OBJ
stacle to reform is not the nature of the case,
but the obligation that the companies are
under of paying interest and dividends on
millions of merely nominal capital. From
that obligation, therefore, they should be re-
ieved, out of regard to the interests of the
public. Some owner of bona yfde bonds or
shares should take legal steps to restrain
the companies from paying on shares or
bonds issued without consideration.
