One year, the first of General Grant's ad- minisiration, closes about noon this day. What have been its fruits and what does it promise? In the inaugural of March last, and in certain ontgivings before it, we were promised a policy of economy, retrenchment and reform; a religious redemption of the obligations involved in the national debt; the maintenance of the national honor and dig- nity in our foreigu relations; a faithful exe- eution of the laws, and that the Executive would have no policy of his own to urge upon Congress in opposition to the will of the people. In his inaugural, too, General Grant cordially endoraed the proposition then pend- ing for the establishment in the national con- etitution of impartial suffrage, without regard to “race, color or previous condition of ser- vitude.” Such were the promises and foreshadowings of General Grant’s administration one year ago. What has followed and how stand the record und the promise of their fulfilment to- a The Isws of Congress fog the reconstruction of the lately rebel States have been faithfully carried out, and, excepting some few remaining formali- ties in reference to Georgia and Texas, the political work of. Southern restoration is finished, In the important matters of economy, retrenchment and reform the Treasury shows a clear gain of over a buno~ dred millions of money (including ninety-vight millions reduction of the debt) for the first year of Grant over the last year of Johnson; and the premium on gold has been reduced from its fluctuations among the thirties and fortics to the narrow gambling margin between fifteen and sixteen cents; the fifteenth amend- ment has been ratified by the required three- fourths of the States, and its proclamation as part of the supreme law of the land we are now expecting every day. In the meantime so thoroughly has the doc- trine of civil and political equality, regard- less of race or color, been the ruling idea of General Grant, that he has appointed men of African descent to various responsible offices, including revenne collecting and diplo- matic appointments, and has recognia:d, with the enthusiasin of a missionary devoted to the cause, the fitness under the new order of things of an African representative at Wash- ington of the African republic of Hayti. To crown this edifice of equal civil and political rights a gentleman of color in 1870 occupies the seat in the United States Senate lett vacant by Jeff Davis in 1861 for the purpose of assisting in the establishment of an independent Southern confederacy on ‘‘the corner stone of African slavery.” It was in 1850 that the barracoon, or slave market, in full view from the national Capitol, was re- moved with the abolition of the slave trade in the District of Columbia; and now behold in the Senate the consummation of the mighty revolution which bas followed that small begiv- niog by Henry Clay! The first year of General Grant’s administra: tion thus becomes memorable in history as marking the complete abolition of tho civil and political disabilities of the African race in the United States, and as marking ihe beginning of the new dispensation of impartial suffrage uader the supervision of Congress. On the Fourth of July next the President, it appears, is to assist at a celebration of the fifteenth amendment in a grand mass meeting in Con- necticut, which is nota bad idea; but it fur- ther appears that he wishes a comparatively short session of Congress for the long term, in order that be may return to the refreshing drives, surf and sea breezes of Long Branch in June ; and this wish, it may be said, is sugges- tive of a growing disposition to drift along quietly in the current of events and trust to luck for a aafe landing. Here we touch the weak point, the vulaer- able heel, of Grant’s administration. With all the work of reconstruction accomplished, nothing has been done in the reconstruction of our foreign relations beyond the policy of peace for the present, leaving the future to provide for itself. The course which this administration has pursued and is pursuing ia reference to Cuba is satisfactory only to Spain ; the policy of General Grant in reference to Mexico is apparently that of perfect indiffer- ence touching the never-ending but still-begin- ning demoralizaiions of that beautiful but wre Me has shown something of the spirit of “manifest destiny” in ceriain proceedings looking to the annexation of Dominica; but even these initial proceedings will, moat likely, end in smoke. He has despatched an expedition for 4 survey of the {sthmus of Dari in view of a ship canal, which is something; but lo has consented to an indefinite suspension of the prosecution of those Alabama claims, from whieh the opinion is beginning to spread that they will end in nothing. In each while the suggest to pol to One Year ched country. and all these things it appears that President has no definite policy to Congress, Congress has no definite urge upon the President. Hence apon our nothing is promised, side is not encouraging, while upon the great foreign eMairs nothing is done and The prospect on this | money question it is very goed. Upon the whole, the administration is too quiet, too dull and fnactive to satisfy the country, and accord- ingly the elements of new political factions and parties are in active process of formation.

On the chances of Count Bray we will not pronounce, This, however, we will say— complications begin to be alarming, If Count Bismarck insists ou the continuance of the treaties, and if Beust and Napoleon say ‘‘No,” have we not the possibility of another German war?—a war in which, if Ausiria could com- mand France, Prussia could command Russia, England, as in the last war, looking on, but sayiug and doing nothing. This South Ger- man reaction shows that the political and re- ligious clements ure brewing, and that with an ambitious Prussia in the North and a jealous and watchful Austria and France so close at band ii is difficult to make up our minds and say that an early European war is imposaible. We cannot forget that Napoleon has warned the Germans, one and all, that the French peo- ple, under theie new conditions, can no longer be cither unconcerned or inactive spectators of the movements in Fatherland. Premier Giapsrongs assured the British House of Commons yesterday that Mra.

Deunk anv Ucry.—The Bank Coffee House homicide yesterday received its full explana- tion in the trial of Lee, in which it was shown thatthe man killed was the aggressor, and that the shooting was not without a certain justiti- cation ag between the two men.

Ever since the war our imports have greatly exceeded ovr exports, and the balance has been made up by shipping specie and American securities, It turns out, how- ever, that we have been producing so indus- triously in the interim of peace that, despite our extravagant importations, wo are able to pay our foreign debt in kind, Hence the European demand for our five-twenties and railway securities is placing us on the creditor side of the account and gfving us an importa- tion of foreign capital, which only goes to still further develop our resources and enable us one of these days to extinguish the national debt altogethe: The Latest New England Horror, The horrible news flashed acros# the wires on Wednesday of the destruction by fire of adrying establishment in a Massachusetts village, and the death of six women who were at work in an attic of the building, brings to the mind of the reader graver reflections than even the fate of these poor creatures alone would cause. Jt appears that the only means of access to this attio was a small ladder placed against a trap door, and that the unfor- tunate women, all of whom were married, were caged in such a manner as to preclude the possibility of escape. The question natu- rally arises, how many such human traps exist in the boasted home of humanilarians, the pious Massachusatts? We doubt if there ig one of the myriad factories in that State which is any better provided with means of escape in case of fire than this drying establishment. We have looked upon tenement houses as the vilest specimens of architecture that could be devised for the purpose of a holocaust, and no terms can be too strong to stigmatize them as such, But, bad as they are, they are not 60 completely destitute of means of egress as the factories of Massachusetts. Hundreds, nay, thousands of poor, hard working women are hourly exposed to the most imminent danger of their lives ia these infamons prisons, and yet we have not heard a voice raised against thom by the host of New England philanthropists. We hope that this Inst ter- rible calamity will arouse the attention of the authorities and bring around a thorough in- vestigation into the condition of the large manu- facturing establishments in the old Bay State. Such an investigation will reveal to the public a condition of affairs which the commonest feelings of humanity should impel the autho- rities to reform, ‘The lives of those poor women and the irreparable Joss inflicted on their families demand something more than a passing notice, Lb will be seen now whether New England hamaaity is a myth, or whether the professions of her philosophers are any- thing more than mere Tus Nearo 1x Con bably have a black epidemic in Congress now that Revels has opened the way to negro metabers in the Senate and the white car- pet-baggers are being ejected for cadetship A report comes succeed both Others will pro- negro members will parti-colored, will look like a black and tan, We are almost tempted to wish that the committee had not found ont about Deweese and Whittemore. No More Kires.—And now there is one more oppression on the juvenile members of the community. It is decreed that there shall bea no more kite-flying ia the town becuse of the telegraph wires. One by one all the juye- nile sports are crowded out of the streets, and no provision is made by public space for play grounds. Is not this an oversight? In every ward of the city there should be a play ground for the boys as large as Tompkins square, and no rules in regard to keeping off the grass. Without some such provision there will grow up here @ generation of boys ignorant of all the games that delight the boyish soul, and that would be a national calamit: Mr. Srwarp has regard to the well-taxed citizens of this motropolis, Ho plainly tells the Aldermen that he does not want to be made the pretext of an Aldermanic dinner.

The managers of the new Charter programme aro stilt undectded upon many Of its most importans features, and are bustly engaged both in Albany ana in this city canvassing among leaiiag democrats in order to rally an overwhelming force tf possinie When the question comes up tor dual consideration in the Legislature. The position of the coalition party 18 ono that necessitates an exercise of con. summate caution and diplomacy, and the delay in presenting the new programme to tho Legislature nas been occasioned by a resolve upon the part of the Creamer-Norton-Genet organization to insure concert of action in their rauks before moving upon the enemy's works. Having pronounced tne Charter offerea ast month totally inadequate to meet the requirements of the occasion, and set themselves at work to construct @ substitute that should embody the vital principles upon whose adoption or rejection their own success in the contest depends, they realized that in framing tuis programme of reform no potat must be left ta doubt as to Its acceptability, Before drawing up any definite statement of their views ag to wnat the new Charter should be they commenced, immeil- ately alter the presentation of Charter No. 1, to caa- viously sonad jeading mea of both factions to ascer- tam how far they might venture in their proposed reform, Thege interviews very soon disclosed en luclivation amoug some prominent democrats, who Lad nitnerto retrained from participating in tue coalition movements, to co-operate with the Creamer faction in certain contingencies, and several of these gentlemen were taken into the councils of the coat. ion. What particular personal interests were con- sidered in this union of hitherto dufering individu. als has not yeo beeu developed, or can they be unlit some progress may huve been wade towards the adoption of the new programme; but te 13 well understood that @ compromise bas been eifected which, by concessions to the demands of certain parties, some very for- midabie hostile elements have been concili- ated and committea to the support of the Creamer faction, Last week the work of preparing tho Provisions of Charlier No, 2 was commenced im this city, Messrs. Creamer, Norton and Genet, aided by some of the best lega: talent of the city, de- Yoting all their attention to tbe matter, ‘Tho HERALD has already published details of the progress and re- suits of the conterences heid duriag tho past week a down to the departure of the new Charter man- ers with their prograinme for Albany, Since tho arrival of the document in sts still unfinished conai- tion at the capital & has been tendepy nursed by Aig authors, aud is slowly developing Into # deine shape, #ut while considcrabie progress lias been mace in agreement upon minor questions, the vital point, mvolving the manner of cresting the various departments of the cliy goverument, is apparently asiar frou settlement asever. A strong elemeut in the coalition faction 1s in favor of forming acity goverument somewhat iter the plan ot tne general government, investing the Mayor with power to appoint all heads of the City departments, and providing that each Mayor, upon his clection, may make whatever cuanges he deeuis proper. Another Ciuss of coalitionists urge that che organization of the departments should be changed a3 little as pos- sible consistent with the attainment of the proposed reforms, and propose that the heads of a portion of ‘of them shall be created by election, as already indie catedia the iensLp. No httle diMeulty ts appre- heuded in the settienent Of tue ilrat of these two qucsuoas, aud im the meantime the other party 1a subdivided into infinitesimal factions as to the de- tulig of their elective programme, which must, when it comes up for generai consideration, lead to pro- longed aud excited discussion. A caucus of the city delega'ion in the Legtsiature 43 to be held eurly next week, probably on Tuesday nigut, to consult upon the above-mentioned points, and during the interval the coalitionists wilt devote their attention principally to canvassing the field, both by personal iuterviews aud newspaper ar- ticles, to uscertain the drift of popular sentiment om the subject. After an agreement upon the method of organizing the city governnientseveral days must elapse before the details of waichever pian may be adopted can be compieted, and there now seems to beno probabllity of the new Charter aot being pte- sented to the Legisiature for at least ten days. As betore stated, the coalition faction proposes such radis_ cal Changes and bus such Juvoresis at stake that if will not develop a detiuite programiae until 16s man- agers are contident of success. As yet no change hay been made in the programme which went te Albany last Tuesday, and it )3 stili tutended to make It the basis of the new Clurier; but the diference of opinion respecting te powers to bo vesied th the Mayor may lead ty radicul changes.
