The Revulston and the #ederal Treasury— Movements of the Administration. A deep-seated revulsion like this from which the finavcial, commercial and all the industrial interests of the Union are now so severely euffer- ing, must inevitably work out great changes in the political parties and party issues of the country. Indeed, this wide-spread prostration of railroad corporations, speculators, banks, brokers and merchants, has already brought about a great political revolution. The tremendous Northern majorities cast against the demooratic candidate for the Presidency last November have rapidly disappeared; and with the same upward tendencies for another year, the adminis. tration of Mr. Buchanan will have recovered throughout the North all that was lost by poor Pierce. The nigger agitation is superseded by the irresietible pressure of the financial embar- resementa of the day. The people are eatisfied with the Kansas policy of the President; but, wtile the country is looking to Washington for measures of financial and commercial relief, we perceive that the general government is directing all its energies ard movements to the single neceselty of taking care of itself. According to our latest and most reliable advices, this isolated policy of selfpreservation is the policy resolved upon by the Cabinet. Mr. Cobb does not anticipate an exhausting reduction of his re- venues from the customs, and is aot prepared for apy more radical measures in relation to the financial difficulties of the country than a sweep- ing retrenchment of the annual expenditures from the Treasury. This retrenchment, we are inforreed, will, in all probability, embrace a beavy reduction of the expenditures for the army and the navy; a suspension of the work upon the numerous new Custom Houses already com- menced, but which will reqaire many millions yet to finish them; the euspension of all federal works of internal improvement not deemed of urgent necessity; the contraction of the active operations of the Coast Sarvey; the suspension of teveral of the lines of our ocean steamers as United States mail lines; a great retrenchment of the expenses of our lighthouse eystem, and an abolition of the fishing bounties. ‘Through these expedients Mr. Cobb anticipates the saving of twenty-five millions to the Trea- eury for the next fiscal year; and he expects that this wholesale retrenchment will euflice to bring hie actual expenses within the margin of his re- duced resources, without the necessity of a loan. We are further informed that the President will not recommend any increase in the tariff. except- ing, perhaps, upon the articles of tea, coffee and suger. Tocrown all, we are assured that Mr. Cobb “does not saticipate that the revenue will fall off this year very materially, although he knows that even now the public warchouses are filled with over thirty millions worth of goods, a great proportien of which may haveto be return- ed to Earope, from the inability of the importers to pay the duties.” Now let us look into thie sweeping policy of retrenchment under the footlights of our past experience, for it is only by this process that we can even approximate the consequences to the country and to the administration, And here the bard and severe practical teachings of the great revulsion of 1837 caunot be too cloeely atudled by our present cautious and careful administra and men of business were driven to the wall, and bankruptcies to the extent of four hundred mii- lions of dollars were the net result, Mr. Van Buren’s adminietration was called upon for re lief, but relief it had noneto give. Instead of re- lief it adopted, for eclf-secarity, the specie re- quiring system of the Sub-Treasury; thus exacting bard money for all government dues, when de- preciated bank rags and ehinplatters were the uni- verenl currency among the people. Thus thecry of “gold and tllver for the officeholders and shipplas- ters for the people” became the popular rhibboleth of the tremendous political revolution of 1840. With that revolution, and with a single year's relief from a general bankrupt law, and witb practical modification of the tariff to salt the immediate exigencies of the times, bad as it was in many respects, and with a government | loan or two to cover the deficiencies of Van Bu ren’e administration, the government and the country, our finances, currency, commerce, and industrial interests of all kinds, were placed upon their feet again for twenty years. Thus, in the campaign of 1844, all our late financial and commercial disasters were forgotten, and the Texas annexation question decided the contest. Now, as like caures produce like effects, what is the course suggested to the government by the teachings of the revulsion of 1837 and the policy of Mr. Van Buren? Clearly it is a course of sympathy with, and not of isolation from, a euf- fering people —a course of relief, and not the con- tracted policy of neutrality and self preserva- The sloop Brandywine, of Wilmington, Del , was picked up off Sandy Hook ct Tuesday morning ina tirking condition.

We should be sorry to see the administra tion of Mr. Buchanan cut iteclf off from the sympathies and expectations of the people; and ¥e regret to any that the foregoing schedule of ite propored retrenchments ia calculated to do this very thing in the most effi- cient manner, In a crisis like this, Present peceseitice and past experience Gemend thet the measures, the resources and the expenditures of the government should be directed, even to the extent of a loan or two, if required, to the general relief and re suscitation uf the commercial and business inte reste of the country. Mr. Cobb, bowever, proposes a retrenchment of the government expenditures tu the extent of twetty five millions a year, in order to come within the probable redaction of bie receipts n the army, the avy, public buildings, internal improvements, the conet survey, fishing bounties, tion. In that revulsion thirty thousand firms | ocean mail steamers, dc. This retreuclusent will be the withdrawal of twenty-five miliiong from the active epecie circulation of the country— equal to the abstraction of an available business circalation of one hundred miilions from the cbanvels of trade. Then, again, all these re- trenchments ia the public service are to be made at the very time when, from the thousands of men thrown ont of other employments, the pab- lic interesta and works indicated, of all kinda, could be prosecuted most economically to the government and most beneficially to the relief of the country. A euepension of the work upon the various publio sources of employment we have named will in- evitably entail heavy losses upon the treasury from contractors’ damages, wear, tear and de. cay, whereas, liberal appropriations, in view of the increased value of hard cash, would result in great positive savings to the treasury. The true policy, therefore, of Mr. Cobb—econo- nomical and political—is not the retrenchment he Ppropoees; but, if anything, a more liberal mar gin of appropriations to the public works in pro- grese, and to every department of the public ser- vice, so far, at least, as the faith of the govern ment is committed. This policy may involve the necessity of a loan, perhaps, of twenty-five mil- lions; ‘but let it be made, and it will be a contri- bation to the country equal to a hundred mil lions of active business capital. The wholesome reaction from this substartial source of relief would soon be felt in a positive relief to the trea- sury itself; whereas, from the ruinous coatrac- tions proposed by Mr. Cobb, the treasury must inevitably suffer ite full proportion from the loss of its revenues. Nor can we undertake to insure the public en- dorsement, under this fiaancial pressure, of a treasury relieving duty upon those prime necessities—tea, coffee and sugar. On the contrary, no government measure would be more universally acceptable at such atime as this than the total abolition of the duty on sugar. If Mr. Buchanan contemplates apy increase upon the tariff on any imported ar- ticles as an expedient for replenishing the treasu- 1y, let him be cautious at least in enlarging tae consumer’s prices of tea, coffee and sugar. It would be better to borrow a few miilione for cur- rent necessities than to add a peony a pound to the poor man’s tea, sugar or coffee for the relief of the treasury, when the poor man is without employment, money or credit, and when the treasury can command millions of ready cash upon its own terms. We hope that our sagacious President, and Mr, Cobb and the whole Cabinet will deliberately study the causes and consequences of our past firancial revulsions, especially that of 1837, the actual and imperious necessities of the country for positive rympathy and relief from the gov- ernment, and the ways and means for affording this relief, instead of reducing the treasury and the financial operations of the government to the ruinous standard ef the prevailing panic. The government should rise with the necessities of the crisis, and if it fails to do so the experience of the isolated policy of Martin Van Buren may be realized again. We cannot separate the du- ties of the government from the interests of the people. Tax Brvisers axp THE CatvaLRy.—The pub- lic has been much amused of late with the ac- counts of a personal rencontre at Knoxville, Tennessee, between Mr. Fleming and Mr. John Mitcbel—the former a journalist, and the latter a profeseional patriot out of business. Mr. Mitchel, firding that in spite of hie denunciations of the bloody-minded, red-handed Saxons, the Bank of England notes were stili current— that Lord Palmerston continued to give levees at Cambridge House, and that the Court persisted in shooting grouse at Balmoral, turned his atten- tion to his benighted countrymen now under the shadow of eur eagles, telling them they were quite as good ss anybody else, and that modesty and humility were the very last virtues which Irish- men in America should cultivate—as if they ever aid. Whereupon Fleming, who conductsa Krow Nothing newspaper, waxed exceeding wroth, and applied to the retired patriot remarks intended, as Blackstone hath it, to hold him up to the malice, hatred or ridicule of that portion of the community who have their thinking done at the Fleming establishment. After which the patriot, in great rage, confronted the journalist, when the lattor bed bis bande full of the United States mail, and caned him. There was, en suite, a rough and tumble fight, in which the eagle of victory hovered between the contestants, descend- ing upon the head of neither the one nor the other. Ata Jater hour in the day the journalist provided himself with weapons of war, aad, metting the patriot, dared him to mortal combat then and there. The patriot de- clined to accept the invitation, but, it ap- pears, knocked down a dranken man who had nothing whatever to do with the matter, but who bad ventured to express the opinion that the pat- riot was a sneak. According to the true Galway fashion, the patriot sent his “friend” to the jour- palist with hostile meesage, but the latter ex- pressed himself satisfied. The patriot his frierd were also satisfied, and we presume that the affair is ratisfactory all round. This is a chivalroas encounter. Mitchel, the patriot, bas been in arms against the Britieh lion; Fleming comes from the South, which section, as everybody knows, has a majority of all the chi- valry that comes to the American market. By way of pendant to this pretty picture, we have an account of a terrible fist fight, pear Baf- falo, between two bruisere who hammered sway at each other, from pure love of the thing, for three boure, and then were not “satisfied” Toey did not separate sulkily and exchange protocols like the Southern chivalry, but they fought till it was so dark that they could no longer see éneb other; then “took a sociable glass of beer to- gether,” and in the kindest manner expressed a wish for a renewalof the combat at the earlicst porsible moment. And one of theee fellows was, as the popular ballad says, “a young man only ninetees year old.” What a lesson do the braieer# teach to the chivalry—the Southern Sir Launcelote, who set their spears in rest, tilt barmiersly at each other—and let them reat! We think that as far as pluck goes the Canada bruisers bave decidedly the adv over the Tennessee chivalry; because, alth 8 resort to orme ie abeurd at any time, yet it is still more ridiculous to make all the parade of ruch resort, and thon settle the affair in a purely Pickwickiaa manner. We carnot restrain a tribute of admiration to the authoritics in both sections, They did not attempt to prevent efther of these charming en tertaiomenta, or to panian the actors therein. It would have been much better for the ¢hival-y lad they made @ private arrangement with a magistrate to be restrained from laying violent sands on each other. As it is, the bruisers have put them to shame. ty. If te reporters are to be believed, over twenty thoa ‘*and working men have already been disobarged fn ™ employment in this city alone; thease, with thea ” families, probably amouat to an aggregate of fifty thousand persons who are al- ready in want of fe.°d, and incapable of fioding employment. It is o,°vious, moreover, that the curtailment of manufao ‘uring industry aud the cersation of almost all ente, "prises employing me- cbenical labor has but begua,: by the first of the year we may expect that th.’ number of idle workmen will be not lees, in New York elove, than tbirty to forty thousand, and Che aggregate pumber of persons deprived of their’ asual sup- port, and dependent on casual aid for their daily bread, scarcely if at all below the eno'mous figure of one hundred and fifty thousand! What is te become of these persons during the long, cold winter that is at hand? It is right, while giving the mechanics and working classes of this city credit for a mush higher standard of morals than the average of their class abroad, to remember that they are men, and liable to all the infirmitios acd the passions of human nature. We caunot expect them to be angele. What terrible reflections, then, does this prospect for their winter suggest —when we bear in mind that within a few bun- Gred yards of the tenement house where they are starving there will be etores piled to the roof with flour, and beef and pork, and rot much further off, banks with safes full of coin? How frightful the picture becomes when we further reflect that the police force of the city would be utterly inadequate to repress a hungry mob, bent on plunder and on food for their starving fami- lies! and that a crisis might arrive when the mili- tary companies, composed of the wealthier class of citizen, amd as resolute as they have always been found in the performance of their duty, might be compelled to deluge the streets with blood and fill the gutters with corpses in order to preserve peace and order! These are hard things to realize, yet the rising and the setting of to morrow’s sun are not more obviously written in the future than they. It has been the peculiar good fortune of this country to be generally exempt from crises of famine and popular distress. The country is so wide, nature is so bountiful, the spirit of our people is eo adventurous and so fruitful of labor- consuming enterprises, that we have known bat once or twice in all our history what it was to have among us scores of thousands of human creatures perishing of hunger and struggling against the temptation to crime which extreme misery afforde. We must look abrcad to find a precedent for such cases, In some countries the distress of the poor has been “rammed down their throats with bayo- nete,”’ to use the humane expression of a famous statesman; but there they had a large and relia- ble and available army. In France it has for many years been the practice of the government to endeavor to counteract the demoralizing ten- deucies of famine by creating work for the un- employed. Louis Napoleon is one of the most promixent converts to this doctrine; the magnifi- cent works which have made Paris the queen city of the world since his acocseion have mostly been constructed for the eole purpose of giving work to the poor. Augustus, in Ike manner, embellished and aggrandized the city of Rome— not from a love of architecture or spleador—but in order to give bread and occupaticn to the mob which had rendered all government impossible for half a century. The precedent may be con- trary to the laws of trade and sound economy; but it eeems to have answered; and any expen- diture is better than a successful outbreak of “the dangerous classes.” We desire to submit to the authorities and the leading citizens of New York, whether, in view of the coincidence of extreme suffering among the unemployed thousands of our city, and large aggregations, in well known centres, of grain, food, and specie, it would not be proper, before we get any deeper into the winter, to take some thought how our mechanics and working men may be prevented from becoming “dangerous classes.’ It belongs to the people of the city and to their magistracy to suggest a means by which the end sought may be attained; but perhaps it may not be euperfluous to remind them that acte of the Legislature have been obtained sanction- ing large expenditures for » Central Park and a City Hall. In proeperous times the work to be performed on them would cost full twice as much as it would now; hence, a wise econo- my, as well as higher considerations of prudence and humanity, would eeem to dictate some imme- diate step toward their vigorous commencement. In proper hands, these two works might feed all the starving pcople of the metropolis throughout the winter, and the city treaeury might save near 50 per cent in wages. But the selection of a meats of relief lies with others. We only truss that somethiag will be done, and that quickly. Tue Micurgan Sovtnens Rat.way.—The new directors of the Michigan Southern Railway have inaugurated their tenure of office by publishing ® report in which they eubstantially confirm every statement that was ever made in the Henato in relation to that concern, and tacitly convict their predecessors—who were so vocife- rous in denying our chargee—of fraud, falsehood, snd deception. Nothing that we ever wrote, ia our anxiety to eave the public from losing their money by investing in this property, is eo severe against the company, and so crushing against the old family clique which controlled its action as this official report signed by the Committee of the Board under the new régime. It is not worth while to stop to notice details, We will only draw attention to the statement in the new report that “the road has not been operated at lees than about 70 per cent of its gross earnings” Months and mouths ago we stated in these columus that Western roads which were stated by their managers to be worked under 65 per cent, might be assumed hy the pab- lic to be fraudulently managed, because no road could be worked for lew than that per centage For asserting and repeating this, as we did frequently, we were assailed in the most violent and malevolent manner by the railway men, and their organs, and by none more violently than by the organs of the Michigan Southern Raiiway, which now, it seems, never cost less than 70 per cent to work. It fe eo throughout. Time is vindicating ia the most perfect manner the wonderful accuracy of every opinion we hae expressed during the past year or two about the railwaye; those who disbe- lieved us have learned wisdom to their cost. The gist of the Michigan Southern Raifeoad re- port is a request for two millions of dollars to get the company out of its present difficulties, by Bevulsion among the Lower Clavses— | paying the floating debt ‘This eum the etook- for tne ®wrer, holders are expected to raise and pey. wo apprehend that, like the Erie debt, this a on Diedigan Southern Gemen—e ee boaters things over which the tide of the rovalsion will roll, and sweep it owt Kelther the stockholders of the one nor those o€ the other concern will eubecribe the eum required, nor anything like it, Both companies are pest salvancD; and the sooner the struggle is abandoned, ax'd the pro- perty passed to the credit of the boudtolnors, the better it will be for the ultimate interests of pho enterprise. Corporation Expenzi.sMents.—A morning co- temporary denies that the committee which is oo- cupied with the inspection of the accounts of the Corporation bas discovered apy defeications or embezzlementa. We reiterate our statement that it has, We repeat, emphatically and uatoquivocally, that the committee has discovered detaications and embezzlementa to the extent of seven and a half millions of dollars; in other words, that this enormous cum has been paid out by the officers ef the Corporation within a few years, and that no trace can be discovered of the mannor in which it disappeared or where it went. A large propor- tion of the leak appears to bave: taken piace in the tax-gatherers’ department. But, with very few exceptions, all departments seem to have been conducted alike; in some instances, officials seem to have left the departments carrying away with them all the books and records of their of- fice. All is in the most reckless and inextricable confusion. We acquit Comptroller Flagg from participa- tion in the frauds which must have been commit- ted; they commence, indeed, long before his time. But it only shows how inefficiently his depart. ment has been conducted when defalcations to the enormous amount we mention can have so long escaped deteotion. ——E THE LATEST NEWS.
