General Grant. i'm Ireland.

If anything was q moral certainty it was
that when General Grant visited Ireland he
would meet with popular reception of the
most enthusiastic description. That he was
q great and successful soldier was high
claim upon people with such admiration
of the chivalrous; that he had led to VIC
tory so many thousands of Irshmen
and sons of Irishmen in the war
for the Union brought him still
closer to them, for there is scarcely
a household in oil Ireland that has not some
family link with the Irish beyond the At
lantic. To him Fame justly ascribes the
salvation of that government and that flag
under which the famine-stricken, the op-
pressed and the evicted Of Ireland had
found homes, prosperity and freedom.
During the war for the Union the people of
Ireland prayed, like Lincoln at Gettysburg,
that this government Of the people, for
the people and by the people should not
perish from the earth" They could not fit
out ships to fight the Alabamas that England
was letting go, but they sent out many
sturdy son to do battle for the Union. To
an immense proportion of the Irish people
General Grant typifes the republican form
of government which they hope for. BY
the officials of the British government Gen.
eral Grant will, of course, be received as q
foremost citizen of friendly Power but it
is in it's popular feature that his visit will
be most interesting. He we'll said that he
had been President over more Irishmen
than Queen Victoria rules.

The Cobb Murder Case.

II would be difficult to produce an exact
parallel in the annals of crime for the trial
now in progress at Norwich, Conn. First,
it was shown On trustworthy chemical evil
dence that arsenic had been found in the
dead mans body IN sufficient quantity to
cause death, on the theory that more than
two grains could not be carried in mans
system. Physicians testified in similar
careful spirit that they believed the man
had been poisoned with arsenic, md that
from grain to two grains was a fatal
dose. With the expert testimony concluded
the paramour Of the dead mans wife Is put
upon the stand and boldly tells the whole
story of the plot to murder and states the
heroic use of arsenic. On one occasion he
gave to the uniaithiul wife half an ounce of
arsenic and declares his opinion that the
husband 'got the most of it," His informa-
ton, of course, came from the wife, who adj
ministered it in coffee and other articles of
daily use. In half an ounce there are two
hundred and forty grains. If the victim
got half his endurance rather damages some
Of the medical opinions. He had taken
this quantity between March Is and the
end of April-say an average for forty
five days Of nearly three grains day.

CnIlnl Tolls.

Auditor Schuylers report of the financial
condition of the Canal Department, of
which we publish an interesting abstract,
contains some statements of the compara-
tive cost of repairs under the old manage
ment and the new, and long argument in
favor of free canals. The Auditor holds
that the existing toll is large enough 10
divert shipments from the metropolis to
other seaports, thereby depriving la
boring men and others Of our citi-
zens of work and money which they might
otherwise have obtained. As the receipts
from all sources during tho fiscal year did
not quite equal the expenditures during the
same time it is difficult to see how, if the
tolls had not existed, the expenses of the
department could have been paid without
taking certain sum OF money from the
people by the process of taxation, and this
sum would have exceeded that which the
Auditor claims has been lost to New York
through THE cheaper transportation which
has been secured by other routes.

The War in Afghnnistan.

Military operations and diplomatic events
in England's little difficulty with her Asiatic
neighbor seemed to move on swimmingly
when we heard Of them both in the rose
colored chronicle of official dispatches, not
corrected for errors or diminished for the
inevitable bounce Of our cousins sanguine
temperament. It appears now that Yakoob
Khan has not come in at all, and there is
great likelihood that he will entirely disap-
point the expectations that he would sur
render and hold his fathers realm as the
puppet of British authority. Even Shere
Ali's departure has been misunderstood and
misinterpreted, and instead Of flight in
panic it is q departure to appeal to a
friendly Power in view of the we'll under
stood fact that Horat is strategically the key of
Afghanistan, and that with the English at
Cabul and Candahar q war against them
would not be desperate if the friendly
Power takes any interest in the Amecr's
cause. If they should have, in the high
lands on the Cabul line, a few days of such
weather as we are having now in this neigh
borhood, campaigning would be unpleas-
ant to the invader That it is not over
pleasant as it is seems to follow from the
statements of the extremely bad condition
of the troops, with the comnissariat broken
down as usual. With all the cant and pa
laver that we hear, year after year, from
British scientific soldiers" on military
organization and administration, is it not
strange that they never can get well
equipped and effective commissary service
in any British army?
The New York herald., 1879-01-04

in countries where we dispense with Min
lister, should be men of energy and intelli-
gence and well paid. The army is no place
for niggardly economy so long MS we have
the troublesome Indians on our hands. The
most important requisite for maintaining
our national honor abroad is an efficient
and gallant navy; not set of ves-
sells rotting in the navy yards, but noble
ships of war in constant commission, cruis-
ing in all waters and putting into all ports
which are visited by our merchant marine.
We would spend money literally on the
navy for the same reason that we would re-
trench diplomatic expenses-in order to
make the nation respectable and honored.

Changing the Issue.

ga Britishcr," whose letter on the Andre
monument discussion appeared in yester-
days HERALD, will find from the replies we
publish to-day that his estimate of the
character Of those Europeans who, like him
self, have made the United States their
home, meets with some dissent The
energy with which his disparaging remarks
about his own countrymen are resented by
Americans affords a satisfactory refutation
Of his insinuation that the people of the
United States are the victims of Anglo
phobia, and we have no doubt that o num-
Der Of our correspondents-only q very
small portion of whose letters we print, by
the way-would be well pleased to assure
him personally of their esteem for modest
Britishers. Meanwhile, it is well to re-
me mber, that as the bottom has fallen out
Of the Andre monument tub, it is
waste of time to pour into it
either the water of commendation or the
liquor of indignation. There is q story of
man who having been sued by neighbor
for the value Of borrowed kettle which
had been sound when loaned and leaky
kettle was not sound when he borrowed it !;
second, that it had no hole in the bottom
when he returned it, and, third, that he
never borrowed the kettle ut oil. AS Mr..
Field never proposed to erect q monument
to Major Andre it is scarcely worth while to
discuss the soundness or unsoundness of
the proposition to erect such monument.
to national impudence and pomposity"
may, therefore, safely drop the Andre issue
and confine his attention to the other inter-
esting international topics which his letter
has brought into prominence.
