syllable Of recorded time. These men were
not among the authors Of the rebellion, al
though thoy were It's greatest soldiers. The
failure of the southern confederacy naturally
caused partial reaction against those who
had been the leaders Of secession; but
even as 10 them, the main body of the south
ern people will not join in censuro Of
them. The American people who argroe that
the nation is indissoluble, and entitled to the
allegiance of every citizen, tho constitution or
any law or ordinance of any state to the con-
trary Notwithstanding can afford 10 allow
absolute freedom Of opinion as to the civil
war aud all tho causes that led TO IL. Tho
hope Of a southern confederacy was, as Gen.
Malone said in tho senate in 1881, "lost in
the ashes Of civil war" II can return no
more to plague us, The north can
not change its opinion as to tho
past any more than can the south. All that
either can do is to admit that tho other side
believed itself right, and as the Hindoo proves
his faith by prostrating himself before the
car of Juggernaut and being crushed, so men
must bo admitted to have been honest in tho
profession of opinions for which they wero
willing to go to war. We believe tho whole
south sees that it made terrible mistake.
But we do not believe IL essential to
the general welfare that It's people
should make hypooritical pretenco
that their enthusiasm was simulated or that
they did not admire their generals, who have
challenged the admiration of all the rest of
the world. The perpetuation of the union,
the abolition of slavery, and equality of rights
for all-these are our trophies ofthe civil war.
To these let us add the grand achievement Of
willingly sharing their benefits with tho van
quished, and of banishing all resentment to-
ward those who were once enemies, but who
are now happily our countrymcn again. Let
as have peace.

supsrvlsing Architect HiII.

The special committee appointed to iuves-
tisate the charges against Supervising Archi-
tect Hill will meet at the Treasury dopart-
mont this morning to decide upon a plan OF
action. As heretofore stated the charges
against Mr.. Hill were preferred by ex.Repra-
sentative r. II. Murch, Of Maine, and allege
general corruption and fraudulent practices
In the administration of the architects
Office. The principal acts Of misconduct
alleged are in connection with the contracts
for furnishing granite for public buildings.
II Is also alleged that Mr.. Hill favored
certain contractors TO the prejudice
Of others and against the interests
Of the government; also, that he
modified the granite contracts in the interest
Of tho contractor. Another allegation IL that
he fraudulently allowed an extra bill Of Bart
lett, Robins g. Co., on the contract for work
on tho New York postof6ce. Supplemental
charges have also been filed against Mr.. Hill
by Mauley, Cooper g. Co., contractors, who
allego fraud In connection with the contract
for iron proof shutters for the new postofiicc
at Philadelphia.
Mr.. Hill says the charges are merely old
ones revamped for political effect and OK

which may be poured tho enforced psuners Of
the United Kingdom If any doubt exists
as to tho truth Of tho statement concerning
the part being taken by the British govern
ment, read the following. It is from G. w.
g., the American cockney, who SO nds to the
New York Tribune news more favorable to
the English side Of the Irish question than
any London journal would be willing, as n
matter Of taste, to print. It appeared in Sum
days Tribune double leadcd to indicate the
special importance attached to all the out
pourings Of this fresh member Of the Yellow
plush family. He says:
The Irish members during the week pursued
their usual parliamoptary tactics bringing in
crude measures framed in manner to insure
their rejection. o'connor Powers proposal to
substitute migration within 1relap for emigra'
ton, involving an initial outlay Of 6ve millions
sterling ofthe public money, was design cd 10 pro-
vide farms Of twenty acres each for twenty-five
thousand Irish peasants. Mr.. Trovelyan, the Irish
secretary, had no difficulty In showing that the
scheme would cost vastly more than the sum
named, while the same number OF people might
obtain comfortable homes IN America for ne,tenth
OF tho cost
Joyous thought Mr.. Trevelyan had "no
difficulty" in showing how much cheaper IL
was to Danish the Irish to America than to
allow them to take their subsistence out Of
their native soil. And the journal which
prints this sees nothing to condemn in n
scheme for making the United States Eng
lands dumping ground for the population to
which she offers exile as the only alternative
for starvation. The United States should cx-
tend open arms to all refugees from tyranny,
but should at the same time call to account
any nation which for its own convenience
casts upon our shores the helpless and needy
victims of its own cruelty.

An Interesting Meeting.

Capt, s. II. NJ. Byers United States consul
to Switzerland, formerly on Gen. Sherman's
staff and author of tho popular song, "sher-
mans March to the Sea-" who has just re-
turned from Europe, called yesterday on the
Swiss minister, Col. Frey. Tho latter, it will
be remembered served throughout the rebel-
lion in the union army, and for upward Of a
year was an inmate Of Libbey prison, where
Capt. Byers was also confined for like
period. Tho somewhat strange coincidence OF
these two veteran comrades in arms, repre-
senting, the one Switzerland, his native coun-
try, in Washington, and the other the United
States, the place Of his birth, in Zurich, was
alluded to, the scenes Of prison life were re-
called, and the trying events Of the var
recounted. 1t has been nearly twenty years
since the same roof covered them under cir.
cumstances so very different from tho posi-
tions they both now fill. Capt. Byers left for
his home in Iowa last night.

Chinese Sugar,

Tho dispatch TO the department. of State
heretofore mentioned in these dispatches)
from Mr.. Rollin NJ, Daggett, United States
minister resident at Honolulu, relative to
tho alleged reports that Chinese sugars are
brought to that port and reshipped from there
to the United States as the produce of the
Hawaiian Islands in order to secure the adj
vantages Of our reciprocity treaty with that
kingdom, shows that such reports are, in his
opinion, entirely without foundation. During
the year 1882, which Mr.. Daggett particularly
Investigated, only four vessels arrived at
Honolulu from Chinese ports, and none of
these brought or discharged Chinese sugars,
Mr.. Daggett submits, also, considerations
which 90 TO strengthen his belief that
the charges OF, such Illicit proceedings
on the part Of any parties isnot only ground
less, but asserts that IL 10 next to impossible
TO successfully operate in that way. Even
granting, under the most favorable condition
Of things, that this could be done, the neces-
sary expenses incidental to this work, viz,
lighterage to the Shore loading and trans
porting sugars inland from one to five miles,
mixing and working In with Hawaiian sugars,
resscking, roloading, and retransporting to
tho shore, and lighterage to the vessel-would
be In excess Of tho evaded duties, Under all
circumstances, therefore, Mr.. Daggott is
firmly in the belief that Chinese sugars have
not been in the past, nor arc they now, brought
10 the Hawaiian islands and roshipped to tho
United States as the products Of Hawaiian
plantations
