SUSPEND JUDGMENT, We do not propose to condemn Seeretary Sherman on tho strength of his published letter on the subject of the pending bill to make Indanapolls a port of delivery, ‘The proposition hivolyed In the Aldrleh bi) and that Involved In the Henderson bill are wlie- ly different. When it is proposed to estah- lish ports of mere delivery throughout the West there fs no finproprlety in inqidring in that connection whether there are not 1 score of ports in the East which might with profit be abolished, with a view tothe saving of useless expense, a8 an offset to the expense to bo incurred In the establishment of the new ports. But tho subject has no legitimate connection; with the Aldrich bill It ts not proposed by that measure to hicrense the cost of collecting the revenue to the extent of a dollar, On tho contrary, the enactment of the Aldrich bill will reduce by a considerable sum the Custom-lfouse expenses at the const ports on T, 'T. business, without inerensing the exponses of the interior ports, It fs un- dikely that, in. considering the bill subinitted to lim’ by Congressman Henderson, Seere- tary Sherman thought for a moment of con- neetlng It with the Aldrich DIL. ‘Chore will be time cnongh to criticisa lim In the event of his taking this view of the ense. A propo sition to tack to the Aldrich bil! a rider pro- viding for tho abolition of a score or even one useless Eastern port of entry would be the exact equivalent of n motion to strike out the enacting clause, ‘Tho avernge Enst- ern Congressman surrenders nothing In the way of patronage or privilege enjoyed by his own seetion, and grants nothing fo the West except upon compulsion of the majority, If Seeretary Sherman should even suggest tho propriety of tacking to the Aldrich Dilla rider of the clinracter proposed In his letterto Mr. Henderson, It will be conclusive evidence of its destre to kit the measure, We enunot bolieve that he entertains any such desire, beeause the proposed Inw fs not only In the Interest of the whole country as tending ton more faithful collection of the revenue, but especially Iu the interest of Mr. Sherman’s own section,—tho West.—pluclng {ton an equality with the Enst, But, as scems to bo belleved at Washington, if the Seeretary of the Treasury proposva to antagonize the Aldriely bill, Jet him be required to taka his position ntonce. The friends of tho mens- ure wish to knoiv just where they stand nt the Treasury Depurtinent, They hope not to have to encounter its opposltlon, but they will not be dismayed by it. ‘Choy know that thelr cause Is Just, and are determined to prosceute it to the best’ of thelr. ability throughout the continuance of the present. session of Congress, and in Wl subsequent sesstons, until thelr plen for falr play 1s granted. VON MOLIKE On ae EUROPEAN 8IT- Tho Chief of tho German ‘armica, Von Moltke, is reported ug exchilming, “with melancholy earnestness,” “Who does not aliare the heartfelt desire to see those heavy willtary burdens relleved which Germany 1s compelled to bear in consequence of her po- altlon in. the midst of powerful neighbors? Nelthor Princes, nor Governments are dent to that desire; but a happtor condition of alfairy cannot be attalned until natlons shall have arrived ab the conviction that every war, oven though victorlous, is a national insfortune, -Lven tho power of tho Empgror Is Inndequate to bring about this conviction, which can only result from an hmprovement in tho religious and moral education of the people,—the frait of centuries of historical development which neither of us will Hye to seo!” So tho nations of Europe are to keop up thelr armaments and aris tor centurlos! It ig still, necording to Von Moltke, to requira soing himndreds of years to complete “.tho re- glous and meral education of the people" to the point whero they will cease thelr de- mand to be led into battle, European Gov- ernments have some eight millions of men under arms, and the number is constantly ine creasing. Whit sort of an aggregate of sol- dlory shall we have some centuries hunce, at the Inauguration of the “religious and mor- al" inillennium? And how much will the war-debts of Kuropy aggregate at tho dawn- ing of that blessed moment! The doughty Von Moltke fs avidently astounded that “even the Emperor” {8 inadoyuate to bring about “conviction nmong nations that every: war, oven though victorious, Js n natlonal misfortune.” ‘Tho reading of this passage lends to the conclusion that Von Moltke ine tends to convey to a gaping world the In- formation that the Emperor of Gerinany has spont the best years of his Hfo tn efforts to convince the people of Prussin that thoy ought to give up war! “A ‘happler con- dition of affairs cannot be attained,” says the great Qeneral, “for some centuries," Meanthne elglt, ten, or twolvo millions of men must be kept under arms by tho nations of Europe, Thesu millions of soldiers are to keep thelr muskets at shoulder reacy to fire In order that the irreligious and finmoral people of Europe may be kept froin flylng wt eaeh other's throats, soma centue ries, until the Emperor of Gerinany and his successors, and thd other Emporors, Kings, and Princes of Europe and thelr suceessors, shall have been able te produce In the mifuds. of the peoplé of Europe tha conviction that they onght not to be go extremely blood- thirsty. Kyen after ttits'yery lucid explana- tlon of tha European situation It 1a not very clear exuctly what tho peoples of Europe are Uxhting about, There isa very goueral lm pression, for example, that the French war of 1370 ngalnst Germany was not instigated hy tho mnssea of tho Freneh pen- ple. Thera {3 a shrawd — suspl- clon that Napotoon IIL tit that move merely sought to bolster his tottering throne, It wasscaredly the “irrelighon and Immoral ity” of the French people that preefpltated tho Frinco-Prusslan war, ‘To bo sure, if tho | French people had been botter educated at that thne, thay would probably have cut off Napoleon’s bend, and so prevented the war, But Von Moltke would hardly approve auch a method of puttinga pertod ton legitimate Gove ernment (?). Doubtless Von Moltke ts afrald that ¥ranee may undartuke, tho frat conyon- fent opportunity, to repossess itself of Alanee and Lorraine. But suppose tho question of tho -alleglineo of those provinces should, by ngreement of the French and Ger nian Governments, be submitted to a falr voto of tho people thereof, does Von Moltke belleve that tho result; whether In favor of tho onc or tha other, would be disturbed by the French and Cer- man peoples flying at each other's throats? How mueh Influence, In the opinion of Von Moltke, did the people of England have tn bringing about the interference of the En- eis Government in the Inte dispute between Russhi and ‘Turkey ? About how many En- lish solders, even in tho opition of the German Generhl, agontzed to shed thelr blood to protect tio appressed Chiristinns in Euro- pean Turkey? What degree of Interest aid the mnsses of the people of England mani- fest in tho late Indian and African wars of the British Government? The English peo ple are thinking just now a good deal more about the Iniquitous land laws of England and Ireland than of wars conducted In the {nterest of the maintenance of the balance of power in Europe. The peoples of En- Topo are: much moro inclined — to fly at tho throats of their rulers than atench other’s throats. Doubtless the Czar of Russia thinks it will require some ecnturles to educates “his” people to tho polut where « standing anny will not be necessary to the peace of the State, but the frequency of thelr attempts to take his life indlentes that they already know enough to know that hls Government ts an odtous des potism which they ure bound to resent to the death, Probably Von Maltke wilt not liveto Jearn that his way fs not the trae way to edu- ento the people. Buthis sueeessors will be taught that Europe cannot much longer Stand the strain of vast standing armies with. out plunging every oue of its Governments inte the gulf of bankruptcy. ‘Tho educa- tional forees of the Inst fifty years have fitted the peaples af the entire Western warld, at Jeast, for peacg, and the tima ts nat far dis- tant when they will have peace even if they havo to fight, not ench other, but their self- appoluted ruters, to secure | BLUNDERS OF THE DEMOCRACY, Tt fs often said, and perhaps with some de- .pree of truth, that.the Republienn party sue- ceeds oftencr through the weakness and folly of the opposition than by {ta own strength, At looks ay If there were to bo a confirmation of this saying in tho audacious seliemo to un seat Washburn, of Minnesota, who was over- wholiningly elected, and to seat Donnelly, who was overwhelmingly defented, nt tho polls.

If such # showing as this is not sufficient to induce n negro to leave North Carolinn snd seek somo place where he ern have the right not ouly to voto and work and havo justice, but to Ive, 1¢ is hard to understand what would be suificient. Such testimony as the above is valuable as showlng the renkcon- dition of the negroes in North Carolina apart from the exodus Itself, and Its Indirect effect wilt be to secure better treatment for them. In trying to prove that the exodus fs unwar- ranted, the Democratic Committes has done tho conntry a good service In showing, by its own witnesses, the wretched condition and Insupportablo existence of the negrocs, Mn, Frep: Hassaui the editor and Proprictor of tho leading Quran Republican duily puper of Cinoinnat!, aunounces his inten tion to “bolt” if Gou.
