The impression which seems to prevail among the politicians at Washington, that within a few weeks or a few months “Old Ben Wade,” from the removal of Andrew Johnson, may become Preal- dent of the United States, has led to some curious speculations touching “Old Ben's” Cabinet. He is a crotchety, hard-headed and self-willed old radical, and one of the most visionary of philanthropists in his rough way— & queer compound of the New England Purt- tan, the Spiritualist and the Western back- woodsman. Some say that he is a teetotaller, while others profess to know that “Old Ben Wade” can hold his own under a heavier charge of new whiskey than any other man in the Western Reserve. However that may be, from this remarkable old line abolitionist, should he be transferred to the White House, we may look for a very remarkabie Cabinet, and somewhat unique. Greeley will, undoubtedly, be one of the first of our political philosophers to strike the fancy of Wade; but the Post Office Depart- ment is not the place for Greeley. He has had a weakness in this direction over since he was a candidate for the New York city Post Office many years ago, and lost it through the want of geal in his behalf of the other mem- bers of the old political firm of Seward, Weed and Greeley. Hence the total breaking up of that firm, beginning with the shelving of Seward at Chicago in 1860 and ending with the excommunication of Weed from the coun- cils of the republican church. But the Post Office Department, for all that, is not the place for Greeley. His wonderful discoveries on the money question, embracing his magnificent programme for an immediate resumption of specie payments, point him out as President Wade’s mun of all men for tho Treasury. Ordinary financiers have figured it out that there is not specie enough in the country upon which to begin the redemption of the bonds falling due, together with the greenbacks and fractional currency in circulation ; but Greeley says it can be done, and if Mr. Wade is to be our next President In place of Andrew John- son, Greeley ought to be given a chance to try bis beautiful theory of specie payments, in place of the old-fashioned and obsolete finan- cicring and brokerage system of McCulloch. Sumner for the State Department, we pre- sume, ea foregone conclusion, and, judging from his speeches and lectures on our foreign relations, Sumner will excel Seward in the variety, the extent and expenses in the print- ing of his diplomatic correspondence. As for the reading of theso learned despatches, that can de left to posterity. The particular object, however, of Mr, Sumner’s appointment to the State Deparimont will doubtless be « procla- mation of the ratification of the pending amendmont, known as the fourteenth article of the constitution, establishing equal civil rights, pledging the country to the redemption of the national debt and against ali rebel debts and claims for emancipated siaves, &c., without which repudiation may come upon us like» whirlwind, and even against which, if our Washington Soanciers do not provide for low taxes and specio payments, repudiation may possibly prevail. Stanton and Grant, it has been amply con- firmed in the late Grant-Johnson correspond- ence, have thoroughly understood cach other through all this game of hide and seek with tho President on the Tenure of Office law. Con- sidering this important fact, and this otber, that the speedy restoration of the outside rebel States may be necessary to secure the radicals in the next Congress © working majority ia the House, wo can understand why Stanton be wanted to push through the work of these Southern radical reconstructionists to the grand finale of a radical delegation from each of the States concerned to each branch of Congress. After all, though it does not appear in the in- dictment against Andrew Johnson, his removal as an obstruction to the radical programme of Southern restoration is the main idea underly- ing his impeachment. In this view, with the promotion of Wade to the chair of Johnson, the President pro tem. of the United States, however desirous to be the master of his Cabi- net, will have to submit to Stanton as the real master of the administration in the manage- ment of Southern reconstruction. Parson Brownlow will be the right man for the Interior Department under President Wade. He is a fighting parson, and having no more rebels to fight he ought to be allowed to try his hand among the fighting Western In- dians and with that other fighting parson, Brigham Young, of Utah Territory. John Un- derwood, of Virginia, or John Minor Botts will answer as Attorney General. Buta truce, for the day, to these Cabinet speculations. Events will soon determine what is in store for us. One thing, at all events, may be regarded as sure aa the rising of the sun with the promotion of “Old Ben Wade” to the “Executive man- sion,” and that is, a slaughter of the Johnsonian Philistines in office “from the centre all round to the sea.” Revolutionary Sympt in Europe, Our cable despatches day by day bring to us fresh evidences of the chronic disease which now afflicts the European body politic. The revolutionary element ls everywhere. We see it from the Baltic to the Mediterranean and from the Euxine to the Atlantic, in Russia, Prussia, Austria, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Great Britain. Everywhere the struggle between the people and the privi- leged orders is more or less visible, and every- where the peopleare marching onward to the possession and enjoyment of their rights. The popular cause is not yet triumphant, but the people and the friends of the people are full of hope. The condition of Italy calls largely for com- miseration. It isso also with both kingdoms in the Iberian peninsula. Matters are not well when the populace of a capital, as has just been the case in Portugal, burn {n effigy the youthful wife of their King. The Pope, how- ever, has warm friends in Portugal, and Queen Pia, fortunately or unfortunately, happens to be the daughter of Victor Emanuel. France, too, is equally ill at ease; but France is eafe in the hands of Napoleon. Of all living rulers he is the only ono who thoroughly understands the people he governs, and the only one who can hold with the firm hand of a master the reins of universal suffrage. Bismarck promises to be a rival, but Bismarck has not yet been fully tried. Great Britain is now in the hands of the only British statesman who can be com- pared to either Napoleon or Bismarck. Disracli there is the man of the hour, and it remains to bo seen what he will make of his opportunities, Tt is not our opinion that war in Europe is likely to reaultin the immediate future from any of the existing complications, The disruption and complete revolution of European society are to be brought. about, not by Fenlanism, not by red republicanism, not by the troubles of the Holy Father, not by Bourbonism, not by Pan-Germanism, nor by Pan-Sclaviem, but by an unbearable taxation. Taxation, after all, is the greatest of all the reformers. It was Tetzel and his money box rather than Luther and his theses that begot the great Reforma- tion. Itwas the ship money that hegot the great English revolution under Charles the First. It was the tax on tea that gave birth to American independence in the days of George the Third. The European nations, one and all (Prussia alone excepted), are burdened with heavy and ever increasing debt The pressure is heavy and testing even now, but it is still bearable. It is the last straw, however, that breaks the camel’s back. Sooner than we imagine the spring will give way and the crash will be tremendous. Rulers will not be wise. Regardless of all experi- ence and blind to their fate, they still pile on the crushing weight. Similar evils, in fact, are overtaking ourselves. It is no longer our privilege to point the finger to other nations. Considering our brief history we cannot say that in regard to taxation and debt we are so far behind. In a few years more we shall be able to defy comparison. Our glory will be single and exclusive. In this country, how- ever, the cure will be simpler and more effective than in the older nations of Europe. In Europe people will rise against their rulers, and nation will war against nation. Here in this great republic, and acting in tho spirit of a noble independency, we shall simply repadiate. American Commerce=What Our Iron Steam. ship Builders Can Do tf Allowed. Evidence sufficient has been adduced during the past week in the columns of the Heratp to convince the most skeptical that American mechanical skill can produce iron steamships, fitted with improved screw engines, inferior to none now plying the ocean in economy and speed. Tho recent letters of our correspond- ent from Wilmington and Chester, with that of Monday and another to-day from Philadel- phia, detailing the extent and capacity of the respective marine establishments of those cities, long engaged in this important mechanl- cal industry, establish this fact Our corre- spondent has also given the results of long conversations with the representatives of these iron works, which come to us laden with sadness that the nation’s commerce, once 80 powerful and prosperous, should have with- in a few years sunk into utter insignific ance, while foreign rivals have been constantly lay- ing on lines to that extent that to-day they are the sole ocean carriers. The United States won renown by ita (incomparable clipper ships, and will again In their iron steamships, when op- portunities are offered the builders within {te limits, Then their productions will be bright and brave vessels, where human gonius and art combine to make their remembrance Immortal. The list of successful iron steam: ships already constructed in this country, appended to the letter of to-day from Philadeiphia, adda further proof of the past skill and triumphs of our naval architects, and makes @ mute appeal to the cries for relicf that (dle engineers and « demoraliaed com. morce seek at the hands of the government This obtained, and & fleet of stoamships will swoop the American ensign along the clobe the soas of | The Ward’s Island Riot. There has been rather a serious conflict of nationalities at Ward’s Island, the refuge of unemployed immigrants and invalided strangers landed from the emigrant ships. It is not un- usual to find the Celtic and Teutonic races at variance, It is only when they come to share the labor which is the common lot of each that they harmonize and learn the habits and usages of each other, In the comparative idle- ness of a public institution like Ward’s Island they have no such opportunity, tility towards each other is, therefore, not 80 difficult to account for.

The riot at Ward’s | Saman4. He would be unable to consummate the Island appears to have sprung from a very small source, but we can readily understand how in a community of idle men numbering fourteen hundred or thereabouts, and divided about equally between the representatives of two nationalities—as the facts show—and each ignorant of the language of the other, the smallest trifle might have provoked a riot. Under these circumstances it would seem to be a necessity that there should be some kind of @ police force maintained on Ward’s Island sufficient to prevent the recurrence of such violent demonstrations, It is a State institu- tion, maintained by the Commissioners of Emigration chiefly out of the Emigrant Com- mutation Fund, and the Commissioners should see to it that subordination is preserved. In this case itdoes not appear that there were any moans at hand to suppress the riot, except the moral suasion of the acting Superintendent, Mr, Hincks, and Dr. Dwyer, who, no doubt, did the best they could to suppress the tumult until the arrival of the police, who came to their aid on the ice, by scows and boats and every other means of transportation whereby the isolated and unprotected island could be reached. If we are to have an asylum, half prison and half hospital, a place of refuge for the unem- ployed, the siok and helpless, in the immediate vicinity of the city, like Ward's Island, there should at least be a force maintained there to keep the peace and prevent the repetition of such scenes as occurred on Thursday. It is evident that a superintendent, three or four doctors, half @ dozen watchmen and « few nurses cannot keep @ thousand idle men fn subjection if they get to quarrelling. The Commissioners of Emigration should look to this matter. Western Indians Waking Up Again. What with the journeys of special Indian commissioners and their long and elaborate reports of councils of war and councils of peace, it was supposed that the tomahawk had been buried at last and the calumet perma- nently substituted for it. But this supposition proves incorrect, and the old stereotyped almanac phrase, “About this time look out for rain or snow,” is still applicable to the present date, with a slight variation—“About this time look out for Indians.” After hiber- nating in comparative quiet, the Blackfeet, according to the latest news from Montana, are waking up, as usual, with the approach of spring. They infest the Fort Benton road be- tween Kennedy’s ranch and Gun river. They have killed at least one man, run off a hundred head of horses and created a panic among the settlers throughout the adjacent region, They have burned Kennedy's ranch, thirty miles from Helena, and carried off captive Mrs. Kennedy and her children. Twelve hundred Indians have gathered around Fort Laramie, and their insolent threats and actual depreda- tions indicate that they fee! emboldened to repeat their old atrocities. With the growing grass which will sustain their horses their vain hopes revive of being able against all odds to resist the invading railroads that begin to penetrate their hunting grounds, and, as they not unreasonably fear, to deprive them of the game which they mainly rely upon for their subsistence. In a word, they seem to be de- termined to make a desperate stand against the encroachments of civilization. There might be something heroic in this determina- tion ff there were not grounds for suspecting that, after all, they are simply resorting tc their oft-repeated trick of setting out on tho warpath with the expectation of “scaring” Uncle Sam into new treaties and fresh contri- butions of blankets, powder, firearms and, above all, fire-water. Before the grass fairly grows Uncle Sam should hasten to teach them the folly of such an expectation. Surely, it is time for the United States government to disabuse the Indian mind and put an end to Indian wars forever. Tue Crviz War iv Japan.—A cable despatch, dated London, March 6, informs us that despatches had been received in that city from China and Japan to the effect that civil war was raging in the latter country with great violence. The Shagoon party and the Mikado party aresaid to be at open war, Sd great, according to the despatch, was the in- security which reigned at the port of Osaka that most of the foreign ministera had left. This news does not surprise us; but, consider- ing*the contradictory reports which have been reaching us, it is well to reccive it with cau- tion, Civil war in itself is always a curse; but it is sometimes a necessary evil. Rvsssiay Scuemes on tHE Dancpe.—A cable despatch of yesterday informs us that Russia has been urging on the Western Powers a scheme for the independent union of the Danubian Principalities. These principalities (Wallachia and Moldavia), under the name of Roumania, have enjoyed a species of autonomy and have been governed by prince nomi- nally independent since 1861, The present ruler, Prince Charles—a member of the reign- ing house of Prussia—has been in power sinoe 1866. In certain respects these provinces are still subject to the Ottoman Porte, tho Prince recognizing the Sultan as his liege lord and paying him a nominal tribute. If this telegram prove tc be correct it wili be diMcult to resist the conclusion that it ts the object of Russia, by seouring the independence of Roumania, on the one hand to fsolate Turkey more effectually from Austrian «sympathy, and on the other hand to diminish Austria’s chances of aggrandizement {n the East. It fs part of tho game which Russia is playing altogether too keenly. NATIONAL CONVENTION OF OIL DEALERS The National Convention of Ol!
