Mr, Ewing «ld not cite any case in which the Re- publicang attempted to nulllfy existing laws by Iweuns of political amendments to appro- prlation ‘bills, It has buen commen in the past to uttach legislation to the appro- printion bills at the close of a session Which vould not ‘otherwise secure & heuring; it isn custom that ought to be aban- doned, and the Democrats shontd hyve set the example after proinising such wholesale reforins us they pledged themselves to work out if the people would give them a majority in Congress.

The pro- Jongation of the session threatened Injury to tho ninterial business interests of the coun try, and .there was on untvorsal de- mand that Congress © should adjourn There was to bo no National election before Congress would meet again and consider a now Ariny bill, Hence the Republicans made a concession to the public welfaro by ac- qulescing In a proposition which was wrong in-prineiple but powerless to work any {n- Justice for the time-boing, It was in this spirit that the President signed the Army DIIT passed at the extra session. Since then, however, the result in the various State elections has shown that the people have no sympathy. with the Demoeratis purpose to there will still bo six months of timo {utorven= i before the date of reaumption. Tho probi ‘bilities of obtaining a supply of coin with which to resume will, by that tine, be more definitly eatubtiched: and for this renson many mombers, who have no faith In the assurances of the Sec~ retary.of tho Trenaury were willing to postpone action for the presont. But a great consiicras tion governing many metthers on this satject was tho prospect of remonetizing silver, and giving the country the benefit thorcof in the way of resumption, ‘The free colnuge of allvor woul bring tothe mint a large supply of silvore for in oxcess of tho camicity of the mint to colt into dollars, bat the iver in coin and In bars would nevertheless be on hand, and certit~ cutes of tho depoatt of those bara in the mint to ho colned would have tho sume value ns tho cof itaeif.

Instead of going to tho Secretary, who was impotent in the matter, had he destred such a inw passed, he would have urged the Sen- /nte to pass tho bill alrendy passed by the House, With this, and scores of othor similar editorials before hhn, Bateman the Ass {s stupid enough to argue that this pnper ad- voented the repent of the Resumption law. Tur ‘Crisuse was. advocating tho passage of tho Silver bill, and especially on the Rround that as goon as the mints could coin ailver dollars speele-payments would be at hand,—would begin, ns a matter of coutse; and yet Bateman, the Ass, thinks he can suppress that fact by his garbled selections of paragraphs, and detaching of sentences, and false perversions of things not glven. ‘Tho arrant stupidity of tho creature {s shown. by hfs persistent repetition of the story of tho impending bankruptcy of Mr. Medill, Ignorance, malice, and brutish vanity can alone ‘bo pleaded as an apology for such a statement. Ey s. if is now approaching ® Natlonal election, In which a President and a new Congress are to be chosen, and it Is of the highest {mpor- tance that provistun be made for the proper exccution of faws that haye been sustained by the Supreme Court and have been at tacked by the Democrats only from partisan and unworthy motives, When Mr. Ewing tries to make the possible use of United States troops at the polls, elthor to Assist in the enforcement ofthe Election law or to keep the peace, a bugbear to frighten the people, he js pursulng a mere fantom that never had any substance and has lost its power to scare the most-timld. ‘There fs not the slightest apprehension any- where that the skeleton of a small army, stattered over a yast continent and barely large cnough to go through the routine of garrison duty, threatens the liberties of tho American people. There fs 9 conviction, on the other hand, that the Nation has the right to protect the National elections from tho frauds and violence of loval conspiracies; there Ig a knowledge that the Democratic managers design te evade and ylojate the laws guaranteeing such protection, and. thero Is 9 popular demand that the Government shall. be free to ayall Hself of all resources that may be necessary to vindicate its right, en force its laws, and assure an honest election next fall In spite of organized villainy and resistance. The amendment prohibiting the employ- ment of United States troops to aid In the enforcement of United States laws or to keep the peace on one day in the year passed. the House, not because of Mr. Ewing’s sophistry, but because the Demucratic cau- cus had sodecreed. It will probably pass the Senate for tho same renson, and there will be the same attempt on tho vart of the Demo- erutic nanagers to suppress debate, and, as far as possible, keep the public in Ignorance of its design and probuble effect, It will then be for the President and his advisers to determine whether or not it shall become a law, practically nullifying a series of laws that have not been repealed, and encouraging tho ballot-box stuifers, the bulldozers, and the yiclous classes everywhere to defy and laugh at tle power of the Government to defend Ita own rghts.

Yesterday we referred to a publication Issued at Washington and signed by Warner M. Bateman, of the substance of which we were advised from Washington, and In which that chlef of the Sherman Bureau undertook to sustain his previously-exposed falsehoods concerning an limaginary interview between Mr. Medi! and Scerctary Sherman. When this Assy, Bateman, first made his statement. he located itin the * winter of 1877-78" Mr. Medill was at Washington in Iebruary, 1878, at the time of the passage of the Sitver bill over the Exeeutive veto, and had a mere formal interview with Secretary Sherman, at which no public question was discussed, At that time he was writing to this paper, and the paper was urgly upon Cone gress that, silver being remonetized, Ewing’s vill to repeal tho resumption of speciepayments should bo defeated, Proof of this exploded the possibility of such an Intervlew at-that thne, ‘The date was then changed, and the Interview was located In “the fall of 1877." Allowing a wide margin for what might bo considered tho * fall of 1877,” say from July .1, 1877, to Feb. 1, 1878, a period of eight mouths, Mr. Medlll, writing from ‘Texas, denied that such an interview could have taken place, even during that long “ fall," because during that tine he had not been In Washington: Clty, and of course had not seen Mr, Sherman, An intelligent nian would have been content to let the matter drop at that noint, but Bate- inan, the Ass, with the vanity of his species, has now written a long screed to prove two things: (1) ‘That Mr, Stedill was personally bankrupt in the fall of 1877; and (8) that ‘Tne TuibuNe, representing the bankruptcy of ts proprietor, was, during (877, pleading for the repeal of the Restiuption Inw; and to sustain these points. ho quotes sentences frum a number of egitorluls of Tug ‘amuse to prove that tho paper advocated the repeal of the Resumption law during the fall of 1577, ‘These references nnd extracts all Ignore the one ruling and governing Iden urged by ‘Try Tripune, that resumption in got alone was Impossible; that the nttempt todo so by retiring tho wholo Issue of legal-tender wreenbacks, and the reduction of the whole volume of currency to gold alone, would proyg digustrous to the country, ‘Therefore, as an ald to resumption and rendering it pos- sible, silver should be remonetized, the ailnts put to thelr utmost capnclty to coin silver dollars, and that the greenbacks be lett in elreulation, ‘That was the wholo tone aud tenorof Tue Trisuse articles durlug tho your 1877 and down to the Mnal passage of tho Silver bill In February, 1873, ‘There was an oxtra session of Congress in tho fall of 1877, at which the Hongo of Rep- resentatlves passed two bills; (1) fo remon- etizo and provide for the freo cofunge of sil+ yer dollars; and (2) to repent so much of the Resumption law as tixed Jan, 1, 187), 09 the date of resumption, ‘Mls lust BIN pasred the louse Nov, %4, and, asthe most completo Anawer to the false suggestions of Bateman, tho Ass, we reproduce the editorial of ‘Tin Thimunt printed Noy, 2 (in “the fall of 1877), showing clenrly and definitly the per- shitent policy of Tis Tamuny on that sub- fect.

Experfonce, of course, should have taught him that he could not expect elther justiceor sympathy froin the white cadets, and that ho could not be recognized by thom either aso sofdicroraman. It was in order for him to expect thls sort of ostracism and brutal social persecution during his entire course, and there ls nothing to show that he did not ex- pectit. Weaccepted this treatment In silence, manfully and without ‘complaint, because, being black, he had no other option, If there were any of the white cadets troubled with the manners of gentlemen and se- eretly ashained of themselyes for treating Cadet Whittaker in this manner thoy could not express {t, beenuse It [s West Point honor to persecute a black man In this offensive and ungentlemanly style, and If they had protested against it they would have been treated In the same way, After sustaining five yenrs of this Infa- mous persecution, Cadet Whittaker Is found onemorning with hfs ears slit and his limbs bound, lylng in bed and unable to help him- self, and hie tells a coherent, straightforward story of the manner. in which he was nial- treated, Of course, as he ts a black man, tho offlcers and endets do not belleve thet the ontrage was conunitted by any of their number, and the cadets give thelr word of honor that they did not do it, We do not oplne, however, that the outside world places much rellanca upon West Poidt honor In this case, for tho kind of honor that would Justify flvo yenrs of porsceution would not scruple at justification of an act of violence; and if they were afratd to do the act thom- selves thoy might not hesitate to cmploy others tudo it, ‘Ihe ere word of honor, unsupported by proof, after the samples of honor already shown, counts for very Uttle, Belug a Dinck man, the most obylous course was to charge him with having committed the ofttrage himsolf, .thoreby nocessitating him to call for a court of investigation, which in reality fs tontamount to hfs trial for behavior unbecoming o West Polut eadet.

A Whatever decision may be reached by the West Point Board, it will carry very little conviction with it, The Court |s a prejudiced one, and the case should be taken out of Its Jurisdiction, which can elearly enough be done, as the crime Js one of which the stat- utes take cognizance.

Perhaps the carly opening of naviga- tion and the sudden collapse In thelr business hastened the reduction, but it was sure to come, ‘The railronds. aro now enrrying frelght and provisions at 10 cents less per 100 pounds than they charged two-months ago, ‘There has been no material variation fn their operating expenses. It costs Just as much ito haul a enr-load of freight between Chi- cago and New York this week as tédidin the middle of March or February, Aftern Mttle while thore will bea still further re- duction in charges, when the rush for lake transportation shalt have fallen off soime- what and competition shall be more lively. But the railroads only make forced conces- sions to the public. heir polley is to exact the most they ean compel shippers to pay. "They are governed by no rule of equity; they do not seck to enrm a fair Interest on tho actual value of their property by charging uniform rates gauged by the cost of the service they render; thoy yleld only to circumstances and. conditions that are beyond the control of their combine- tlon, It fa not impossible that, before the summer shall bo over, the pool will break down altogether, and that the varlous corpo- rations, eutting rates and squandering moncy in soliciting business, will eventually involyo thelr stockholders inn loss of perlinps more than the excessive profits of the exorbitant charges that were maintained duriug the ab- senev of water competition. "The selfish nud short-sighted policy of rall- road management In this country, which Is strikingly Illustrated ‘anew every few weeks, ought to Impress upon the Natlonal Inw- minkers, ag it already has upon the people, that neommon and uniform system of Gov- ernment supervision, Insurlng reasonable- ness and permanency of rates, would bo not mercly In the interest of the general public, but that of rallrond-stock owners, Such o system of supervision would establish tho practical federation of railroad interests which Messrs.

Tho report furthennore takes special cognizance of the Jesults. The other communities can apply for nuthoriza- tion, but the Society of Jesus-Is to cease to exist as. a community after a specified time, “tha object being not to persecute its Individ- ‘unl members sud_ strike a blow at Individual rights, but solely to provent a non-authorized soclety from exhibiting itself by acts con- trary to Inw.’? Accompanylng this report are two decrees, the first fixing the thos at which the Jesuits must closo thelr establish- menty and censo to exist a8 acomimunity, aud tho second fixing tho formalities. through which other communities must pass to be- come authorized, . The Grat decree eltes the original law of 1700 directed against the Jesuits, by which it {s provided that ‘The constitutional law of the Kingdom shal! no longer recognize sol- einn monastic yows of persons of either sox, consequently tho regular orders and cont munities in which such vows ara taken are and remain abolished in France, so that slin!- far ones cannot in future be established,” and shows not only that it has never been repualed, but that it has been af- firmed on many occasions; that no less than seven different deerces of ex- pulfion lnye been issued; and that, under yarlous régimes, tho public powors have constantly affirmed thelr right not to endure the existence of tho Jesuits when- ever they have attempted to retgtablish thetr communities or extend their Interests, Con- sequently, three months, datlug from the present decree” (signed March 30), “are ac- corded to the so-called now-nuthorized aggre gation, or Association of Jesus, to dissolve pursuant to the above-mentioned laws and to evacuate the establishments it occuples on the territory of the Republic, - This interval will be prolonged tu tho dist of August, 1830, for the establishments in which Mterary or sclentifio instruction fs given by the Assacl- ation to the young.” It {s ollicially slated, that the Jesuits have {unl fifty-six establish- ments ‘and 1,480 members, and that the aggre- gate numbor of pupila Is a little under 10,000, + which {a much gmalter than the numbers which have hithayto beun stated. ¢ A careful examination of the text of the decrees and ‘tho preliminary report goes to show that the action of the Gov- ernment {3 not fil the Interests of a better system of education, and that ‘no fault: is found with the system pursued by thé Socles ty af Jesus, but thatitis n step forward In the warngainat clorfcallsm, «The decrees do hot suggest any substitute far tho eilucation- al establishinents which are nbollshed, not even for those of othor orders whileh may te- fuse to apply for authorization, nor jin fact did the obnoxtous Article 7, which was de featel, The decrees appear to have been ts- sued in revenge for the tlefeat of that article.

Of what validity, or in what respect, would one of our own statutes bo held if it required an act of Congress to enforce it every thine It was set at defiance? ‘Thora {s still another view of this question which goes to show that the decrees will be ultimately harmless even if thoy are carried out, History shows that this. community has always thriven under tho ban, ‘The Inw forbidding the Jesults to existasn commu. nity in France has been on the books almost acentury. Numerous special edicts of ex- pulsion have been Issued under different régimes. Yet tho Jesults not only continue to exist in France, put they have greatly Ine creased in thenmmber of their establishments and in Influence, No legislation agalnst them in the futuro ean be any moro sweep- ing or radical tlinn that of the past, and thore {sno reason to doubt that In a short thio they will reappear In their gli capacity, as they have done over and over again, There is nothing in the Inw or the deerces that pre- vents them from becoming Individual teach- ers, and retaining. all thelr civil rights as sich, so that thelr principles still remain, and also their teaching, ‘They need only abanton thelr aggregate form and leach as Individu- als, and from this the return to the communi- ty again would be very speedy, ng has been proved over and over again, Tho French Government would liaye been wise to have studied the policy of ourown. We have in this country large numbers of Jesuits en- enged In tenching, for that fs their speciat mission, and Jesuit schools and sominaries, ‘They have been con- dueted quietly and without interfer- ing with other schools, with other creeds, or with the political machinery of the State.

The Grant managers clalma nearly solld South for their candidate. <A private letter from a gentleman with large means of in- formation shows somo of the diMculties under which tho Sherman and Blaine men Inbor in that section. ‘Ihe writer says: “Wo haye no Republican nowspapers; conse- quently our people get thelr news from Demoerntic papers, all of which are favorable to Grant’s nomination, ‘They either sup- press or distort all news favorable to Blalno or Sherman, both of whom they abuse and Dolittle while they ‘slobber’ all over Grant.” The writer gives an Instanco of the distor- tion of news by tho New Orleans Democratic papers. Ife says: “Lhe other day thero ‘was a press dispatch to the effect. that_n town- ahip in Lowa hnd expressed n preference for Grant, and oll the morning papers had gront flaming head-lines, ‘Iowa ror Grant’ A dluyortwo afterwards, a press dispatch stated that the City of Boston had selected Sherman delegates, but no head-lines or other notice of the fact appeared.” Tho writer adduces those facts in support of hia assertion that Southorn Democrats want Gen, Grant nom- inated, because they believe him to be the weakest of all tho Republican ‘candidates. Ile says of Gen. Grant's inovements; “If any man tells you that he (Grant) does not mean ‘ business,’ and thathe fy net ‘mending fences’ as he goes along. you can say to that man, “fhoufool’; he is doing the tallest kind of work, His secretary, Byron An- drews, of the Inter-Occan, 1s vigilant, and neglects no opportunity to advanca the cause’ of his chief, While in New Orleans, Andrews told ongot the local Grant managers, who “Jeaked,’ that ‘thoy’ (meaning the tourists) had assurances from Warmoth, Wharton, and others that they would be all right when tho proper thing urriyed for action, and that *thoy '—the party of tourlsts—had assuran- ves which convinced them that Loutstnna would be all right.” The writer, however, declares that tho ex-President’s secretary is inerror. Ifo clams that the friends of Shor- man and Blaine will divide the Georgia dele gation with Grant, and carry Louisiana, Mls- atsslppl, Florida, and Alsbama against him. Le snys nothing of the Carolinas and Vir- ginias, But this is not tho polnt with which wo have to deal, Is it true that Southorn Democrats desire the nomina- tlon of Grant by the Republican party? And, iftrue, by what motive are thoy actuated? It may be sald that they honestly prefer Grant to any othor Republican. But, if so, why? It is clnimed by tha supporters of tho ox-Presient that an emergency exists ren dering his redlection-necessnry to the safety of the country, * Io 1s required,” say they, “to curb and repress the South.” It will scarcely bo pretended, however, that South- ern Demovrats desire to hays the South curbed nnd repressed! It follows elther that they do not beliove that Grant would curb and repress the South, or they do belleva that ho would prove 8 weak candidate, If then the confidence of Southern Democrats that, In the event of Grant’s election, Mls Ad- ininistration . would prove conellintory rather than just to the South Is well placed, tha reason of his sup port by third-term stalwarts becomes utterly ilogical,. And-an tllogleal support, while It uiny force 6 nomination, leaves the candidate almost helpless at the polls, Astute Demo- eratic pollticlans at the South may well have presumed Grant's wenkness bofore the peo- ple from the iNogical character of his aup- portat the North, Thoy ‘say’ with much force: “All of Gen. Grant's speeches Indl- cate that he regards with fayor President Hayes’ conelilatory polley, and such support utterly destroys the emorgeney theory of the stalwarts who brought him. forward os 9 candidate,’ Moence they conelude that this fact will constitute an element of weakness in his campaign at the North, whence he must draw all the Electoral votes he can hope for from any quarter, ‘This is the logio of the situation, the explanation of tha fact that Southern Democratle newspapers and politicians are willing to help forward the Grant jboom by head-lning, “Jowu for Grant : a Senator Logan hos been in the city sev- erul days tuking a brict respite from hia labora at Washington, latending to examines newly- discovared coal mino on bis farin, and to tuke a. gencra) survey of the lay ef tho Jand all ovor the Btato.
