The Republican officials at Washington
complain that the recent elections have
proved the general ineAicisncy of federal
officers in the South. The instructions of
the department of justice have not been
obeyed, and the laws have not been faith
fully executed. In view of this fact, there
will be radical changes in federal officers in
the South, and men will be selected who are
in entire harmony with the Republican party,
and who are men of courage. To be Sin
entire harmony with the Republican party
it is necessary that men shall be willing to
perform any piece of dirty work that may be
required for party purposes, whether it be
in accordance with law or not. Hence the
difficulty of finding suitable men to fill the
offices.

York Clearing House association, after a
conference with Mr.. Sherman, held meet
ing to discuss the status of the currency and
determine what should be done relative to
the resumption of specie payments. A feel
ing of hostility to the receipt of standard sill
yer dollars was manifested, and finally an
outline of policy was adopted, Embracing
these ideas:
First-Decline receiving gold coins as ssspe-
cial deposits" but accept and treat them only
as lawful money.
second-Abolish special exchanges of gold at
the Clearing House.
Third-Pay and receive balances between
banks at the Clearing House either in gold or
currency.
Fourth-Decine silver dollars upon deposit,
as money, but only receive them under special
contract to withdraw the same in kind.
Fifth-Prohibit payments Of balances on the
Clearinghouse in silver certificates or in silver
dollars, excepting as subsidiary coin in small
sums-say under $40.
Sixth--Banks will hold the same attitude in
respect to silver dollars that California banks
have done respecting legal-tender money, i. G.,
accept them only when legally compelled, and
decline further commercial relations with the
compelling party.
notwithstanding gold special accounts
by notice to dealers to terminate them on the
LIST OF January next.
No one will question the right of the
banks to receive or refuse to receive any
class of money they may choose in the trans
action of their own business, provided they
commit no injustice to their customers and
do not transgress the laws. But this organ
ization is one having for it's purpose the
degradation of the currency issued by the
government and made legal tender in pay
ment OF debts by an act of Congress. 1t is
an act of open rebellion against the laws
and is furthermore designed to work injury
not alone to the government but to the entire
business community. It is declaration to
the effect that Congress may pass laws, but
the bankers will obey them only when it
suits their convenience.
Treason was formerly interpreted so as to
embrace attempts to injure the credit of a
government, not alone armed attempts to
destroy its existence. It is, indeed, cues
ton which of these assaults upon its life is
the most heinous. Without an establish ed
currency our government cannot hope to ex-
list long, and any attempt to debase the coin
age IS blow aimed at our national life. If

gress, and are upheld in their lawlessness,
we may as well give DIP all hope of maintain

pared to delegate such dangerous power to
the money aristocracy. They have declared
in favor Of a currency of silver as well as of
gold, and will not permit any person or as
ISOLATION of persons to overturn their
will when it answers a purpose or suits a
caprice. Probably the banks may yet be
taught that two can play at this game they
lhaye inaugurated. If the people will with

The proceedings in the House yesterday
do not indicate the success Of the new
Tariff bill of the Committee on Ways and
Means. The sentiment of the House is
evidently adverse to the bill On the mo-
ton Of tho chairman of the committee to
take up and proceed with it the motion was
lost by vote OF % yeas to 81 nays. But
finally motion to go into Committee of the
Whole on tho bill was carried by barely
one majority, tho numbers being 100
yeas to 10S nays, o few democrats
who are really opposed to the bill having
changed their votes from motives of .cour-
tesy, in order that tho bill might BIO dis
cussed. But in the final test they will
probably vote against it. A bill which gets
a chance even to be considered by q major
ity Of only a single vote, and this by the
courtesy Of members who are really OPP
posed to its passage, is not likely to beo ome
n law. 1t is pretty sure to be strangled ut
some stage of tho proceedings and never to
reach the Senate, where its defeat would be
almost certain even if it should pass the
House.

Tho general tone Of the European de-
land it is believed that q scttlemen. Of tho
existing difficulties by diplomatic negotia-
tons is now highly probable. Tho.featurcs
of the arrangement by which On appeal to
arms is to be avoided are given in our spe-
cial cable dispatches, but in reality they
leave tho main issue untouched. These
rumors are significant principally as an in
dication Of the desire of England to find q
way, without war, out OF the dilemma in
which she hns involved herself No doubt
Russia will willingly aid England in this
effort provided her own policy and tho
legitimate consequences of the war arc not
disturbed. But it is probable that much
diplomatic negotiation will yet DO exhausted
before q peaceful solution OF tho difficulty
is actually reached. Our special cable from
st. Petersburg gives report of n misundcr-
standing between tho Emperor of Russia
and the French Ambassador growing out OF
the announcement of the latter that France
would hold herself aloof from the present
complications and would. not interfere one
way or the other The Emperor is said to
have been offended by the remark Of the
Ambassador that France had paid sufli-
GENTLY dear for her right to steer clear Of
the quarrels of other nations and to have
made such q rough reply as to induce the
Ambassador to ask for his recall. The story
is singular one. 1t docs not seem proba-
bic that the Emperor would take exception
to tho adoption by France of policy clearly
justified by her own interests, especially as
French neutrality, in the event Of the war,
would BIO practically On aid to Russia. II

bers that the use of police force was not
to be thought of. and when armed militia
regiments wero called into service they
sympathized in many cases with the mob,
or threw down their arms and ran away
in mere cowardice. This was SO different
an issue 10 what experienced agitators
from beyond the sea had been used to that
they were startled ut the facility it seemed
to open for their operations. In France
there would have been a few brigades
turned out in any disturbed city in such o
case q thousand or SO of rioters and may
be a hundred soldiers would have been shot
and tranquility re-established. But here
were cities near to which there was no
army. With only twenty thousand soldiers
in tho whole country here are hundred
cities with untold millions of plumber in
them. This is the fancy that has stimu-
lated the growth of Communistic organiza-
tions. But when the show begins, if it ever
does begin, the agltators will find out how
exceptional was the condition created every
where by the paralysis due to the railroad

likely to be disturbed have been fairly
warned, and we do not believe they will be
found unprepared.

While the general news from Europe is OF
moro peaceful character to-day the pres
ence of the Cimbria and her mysterious
passengers, the statements made by the
alleged Russian agents to HERALD
correspondents, and. the comments
OF the Canadian press do their
best to keep up war fever
on this side of the Atlantic. 1t might we'll
be supposed, to read these several stories,
that the first gun of war between England
and Russia was to be the signal for the con-
version Of all available American shipping
into fleet of priyateers and for ON attack
on Canada by an Irish army. According to
Mr.. Hunt, one of the recently arrived Rus
sian agents, war is inevitable, notwithstand-
ing the peaceful reports; but tho views Of
this gentleman are evidently colored by his
warm Russian sympathies. We can scarcely
place full reliance on the predictions Of gem
tleman who declares that Russia, SO fur from
being financially embarrassed, has not COM
menced to draw on her resources yet who
tells rs that Austria and Germany in case
of war are certain to be actively in favor
Of Russia who thinks that if Russia conf
missions vessels as regular cruisers,
instead of calling them privateers, all
difficulties i'll the shape of treaties, inter-
national and local law will BIO removed,
and who counts on Irishmcn fitting out
cruisers with their own money and on the
manning of the Russian navy with some OF
our best naval officers and able-bodied
seamen.
II war comes the United States will OBJ
serve good faith to both England and
RUSSIA, with both Of whom our relations are
friendly. The law will be properly en-
forced and will be faithfully protected
against evasion. Whatever may be the
sympathicS OF our people We shall act MS a
great nation ought to act, and much
better than some great nations have
acted toward us when we were in difficulty.
The best protection of Canada against in
yasion from the States will be the
honor and vigor of the American govern
ment, and if our neighbors are doomed to
be involved in the fight they will find their
enemies in Russian vessels and not on Amer
lean soil.

is still less probable that any insult would
be offered to the French Ambassador by the
Eru,
what the Union Ferry Company
Threatens.

Threatens.
The Brooklyn papers are not disposed TO
look with favor on the decision OF Judge
Van Worst cancelling the outrageous leases
bestowed on the Union Ferry Company by
the Tweed city government at nominal
rent Of one dollar year. They regard the
decision as one adverse to the interests OF
the working classes who use the Brooklyn
ferries, and assert that the nominal rent
was accepted on consideration that the COM
pany should run boats at certain hours OF
the morning. and evening for one cent fer
riage. We are told that If the company is
required to pay rent for the privileges it
enjoys it will raise its rates to two cents
during all hours of the day.
This is raising fnlse issue. The Union
Ferry Company is wealthy corporation.
making enormous annual profits, and it is
scandalous that it should not sooner have
been compelled to pay fair rent for the
ferry leases. Other ferry companies which
do not make n hundredth part of the
profits realized by the Brooklyn company
are required to pay rents to the city. The
money obtained for such leases belongs to
the sinking fund and is pledged for the re-
demption of the city debt. No municipal
administration has tho right to give away
the leases Tor nothing and thus to impair the
security Of the city bonds If such right
should be conceded the entire revenue of
the sinking fund might be swept away;
for what could be done with ono
% nh ha
with NIL others. The fact is that the
wrong inflicted on the city has not been for
the benefit OF the working classes who use
the ferries, but for the advantage of tho
wealthy owners of the stock OF the Union
Ferry Company The threat made by the
Brooklyn papers, doubtless at the instiga-
tion Of the company, that the rates of ter-
riage will be raised if fair rent is de-
manded by tho city Of New York, should
not be lost on the Legislature. The COM
pany should be required to pay at least one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
year rent for its leases, and the
Legislature should pass a law re-
stricting the fare to one cent-at all events
during the busy hours Of the morning and
afternoon, when working people use the
boats. The owners OF the stock have made
themselves rich out Of the profits of the
company, and they should be taught that,
because the Supreme Court cancels the out
rageous and suspicious lease they secured
from corrupt city officials, they will not be
permitted to squeeze their pccuniary loss
out Of the travelling public.

Chfnamen Cannot Become Citizens

Cinnamon Cannot Become Citizens.
We copy from San Francisco paper-the
Alta Califosmid--a decision recently rem
dered by the United States Circuit Court
denying tho right of O Chinese immigrant
who had applied for citzesnhip to the priv
ilege of naturalization. This decision will
surprise no intelligent lawyer; the only
surprise is that such IN application should
have been made. The idea of tho San Fran
cisco paper that tho case is likely TO be ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court only proves
that the writer did not perceive the force Of
Judge Sawyer's reasoning His argument is
SO conclusive that no appeal will ever DO
made from the decision it supports.
The question could not have been brought
before a court at oil had it not been for IN
oversight in the Revised Statutes. The
original Naturalization law confined the
privilege to free white aliens. In 1870 it
was SO amended as to admit persons of Afri-
can birth and African descent, but it was
left in other respects unchanged, men OF
color besides Africans being still excluded.
When this change was made Mr.. Sumner
prOpOScu 10 btIlhe Out tho WOrQ 'Wnlte
from the Naturalization laws. 1t was OBJ
jected. that this would bring in tho Mon
COLLINS as we'll as the negroes, and on this
ground Mr.. Summers proposition was re-
jectcd. The only change made in tho for
mer law was to except Africans from the
general rule by which colored aliens
vero excluded. But tho revisers Of
the statutes fell into the blunder of omit
ting the words, 'being free white person. :"
1t was blundcr, because they had no au-
thority to change the law, but only 10 put
it into n moro convenient shape. The omis-
sion of that phrase would make the Natu-
ralization laws apply to Mongolians and oil
colorod aliens but Congress aftcrward COR
rected the oversight of the revisers. BY an
act passed in 1875 Ito correct errors and
supply omissions" in the Revised Statutes
tho omitted words were restored, with tho
avowed purpose of excluding Asiatics from
naturalization. An appeal from the opin-
ion of Judge Sawyer would be futile, tho
law being too clear to admit of any reason
able difference of opinion.
