National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1878-02-22

The Export Convention, now in session in
this city, has substantially declared in favor
of subsidies, to aid the increase of our tom
mage on the ocean, that we may successfully
compete for its commerce. The decay of
American ocean commerce has been alarm
ing With our vast resources, we have per-
mitted other nations to bear away the great
bulk Of the international commerce of the
world, and it is time some step should be
taken to secure fair proportion Of 1t.
While the country is tired of subsidies for
enriching railroad organizations for the in
ternal development of the country-and we
think it should have rest in that direc-
tion-there may be good and sufficient rea-
soas for fostering ocean commerce, that will
open up to our people trade that has here
tofore been monopolized by the shipping of
other countries. We think the Government
can well afford to throw its fostering arm
around our merchant marine, and secure for
the country benefits now lost TO it. Enter
prise needs encouragement in every direc-
tinn

burg receive less than $500 year each, or
Just one-third of what we pay our ambassador
to France. The existing salaries Of the Aus
TRAN, Italian. and Spanish ministers are still
lower, being under f2,i00 year. Those Of the
consuls- general at London and Paris are now
under FL 100 a year; at Berlin under $500 a year,
and at Vienna aud Rome under $500 year
Il is scarcely credible that the bill reported to
the House Of Representatives by the Appro-
priations Committee proposes to cut down the
annual salaries fixed at S17 500 to SIS, 600 those
at $4,000 TO $4,000; those at $1,000 to
5000; those at $1,000 to $500, and so on.
Every minister and every consul-gcncral
will thus find bip,self suddenly mulcted of
one-sixth or ono-scventh OF the income on
which he had right to reckon. At Vienna,
for instance, the Minister'S salary will fall
from 2,400 to $4,000, the Consul Generals
from 5000 to $500, or rather less than these
sums, for American salaries are payable In
currency. Nor Is this all. The majority
recommend the abolition Of the missions to
tho Netherlands and TO Belgium, and the re-
moval Of tho charges d'ataires at present ac-
credited to Greece, Switzerland, and Den
mark. The latter form Of economy Is, upon
the whole, the less harmful and the less ridicu-
lous of the two Americans are likely to be
more respectfully represented in an obscure
country where they have only modest con.
sui from whom no social duties are required
than in great capital, where . Minister has
TO keep up appearances upon salary far be-
low those Of the representatives Of second-rate
or third-rate sovereigns,
This comment is just and well made, and
should have weight with an American Con-
uress

The New York Senator.

The Democrats are now greatly exercised
over the future of Senator COSHLING, aud
are predicting, with the earncstncss of an
cient soothsavers, that he will not be re-
elected. This snow-heapis piled up now to
divert attention from the South, but it will
avail nothing 1t twill soon melt and vanish
away. Soon the silver measure will have
become law, and then the anti-silver advo-
Gates will sink their hostility in common
sense, and that bone of contention will he
buried out OF sight and out of mind. Mr..
CoNKLISGs future prospects are not to be
affected one way or the other by his action
or non action on the silver bill That was
NOT party question, and hence he was left
free to act under the dictates Of conscience
and sense of duty. There will he no preiu.
dice created against him on account of his
attitude on that measure, except among
Democrats.
1t is too early now for predictions
based upon any questions or influences
likely to occur neat winter, when hi
successor will be chosen. If the
Republicans have the Legislature, q true
Out-anl-out Republican will be elected
Any attempt to divide the party on that
question at that time, beyond personal
preferences which the caucus will settle
.llectually, will prove abortive In view
OF his eminent abilities and services should
the party prefer him as his own successor
there will he no power to defeat him by {
rotten coalition with the enemy Should
the sentiment Of the Republican party indi
cate another name as its choice its voice
will prevail without the interference of any
coalition, such as the Democrats now seen
10 be dreaming Of to prevent. The Repub
lican party has had quite enough of ALI
unces in the interest of consultation, with
out trying another experiment Of the kline
over the New York Scnatorship. For tho
Republican party to ally with the Demo
Gratis is to form a compact under whicl
they are sure to be cheated, 1t has eve
been thus, and now history is repeating it
self every day.

served his constituents at intervals in Con-
gress, and never, we think II safe to say,
to the delectation of the Democratic party.
If he acts with individual Democrats now,
or shall do so in the future, II will only be
upon questions, isolated from party doc
trines and policies, and in behalf Of such
measures rs, in his judgment, will best sub
serve the public interest. But we regard IL
safe to predict that, so far as the Demo
cratic party is concerned, he will never be
found acting with it until its bloody record
is blotted out, and it has washed its hands
in the tears of penitcnCo over its past sins
of treason and rebellion, and ceases from
future SHINING against the laws of freedom,
humanity, and equal rights.

WHEN Lieutenant General SHERIDAN
suggested that the leading rebels who dis
turbed the peace by the Inauguration of
mob law in Louisiana in the winter of
1574-'75 were bandits, and might be so de-
clared by Congress- Mr.. ELLIS and his con-
freres denounced SHERIDAN as vile SLAM
derer of the people of that State. He was
totally unworthy of belief, they said. Now,
however, when Mr. ELLIS wishes to make
use of the testimony of General SHERIDAN
against Governor WELLS, we hear no dis
arrangement of the yeracity Of the Lieuten-
ant General. If Mr.. ELLIS wants us to
take his testimony now given against
WELLS in 1868, then we insist that he must
also accept that given by the same witness
against OGDEN and his co-conspiators in
1s74'75. Which horn of the dilemma will
Mr.. ELLIS take?

General Ii. +. Butler and the
Democrats.

General 3. F. BUTLER was Democrat in
the good old days before the war. He was at
the Charleston Convention in 1850, and was
uproariOusly in favor of the nomination of
Mr.. JEFFERSON DAVIS of Mississippi, rs the
Democratic candidate for President. General
BUTLER is now acting with such Democrats as
General EWING, OF Ohio, who want unlimited
silver, and who demand the repeal of the re.
sumption act. How times change. If the
country should divide upon financial questions
It is moro than pr Jbable that General BUTLER
will bc found acting with party the majority
of said party having been Democrats Ralsigh
IN. ca Register.
This brief sketch of the past history OF
General BUTLER is no doubt mainly correct
but where he may be found in his future
political relations aud actions is scarcely
within the ken OF y North Carolina editor
General BUTLER was Democrat and
among the straightest Of the sect, until the
Democratic party, under the lead of JEFF.
DAVIS, for whom he had held strong feel
ing OF favor and devotion, went into rebel
lion against the Union. That act at once
severed all connection and relation between
General BUTLER and the Democratic party
except that of open and uncOmpromising
nnlag"nism. General B. medately entered
the service of the country against the
armed hostility Of the Democrats, and
remained therein faithfully and use
fully until the rebellion was conquered
and the Union was saved. The services
of the General were eminent during
tho war, and at no point more so than al
New Orleans, where he brought the spirit
of rebellion into prompt subsection to the
Federal power. From that time to the
close of the war he did what he could, and
most faithfully and earnestly, to serve his
county and save it's life.
