This appointment gives to Michael the control of fifty baggage smasbers: Great ConsTERNATION prevails among the apple merchants and other sidewalk retailers around the City Hall Park in view of the im- pending general reconstruction of said Park. Well, well, so goes the world. ‘‘Here to-day and gone to-morrow” is the universal law. “But what’s the hodds so long as youre ‘appy?” Piss Piha Tue Caner Crisis, say some of the Wash- ington newsmongers, is uot settled by the appointment of anew Attorney General, but that Secretary Fish must resign, and the ‘‘jolly good fellow” Robeson likewise. Very good ; if these things must be, lei them come; and although a change in the ship’s crew while the ship is anchored at low tide will not make much difference the country would not object to a general reorganization, just for a change. Tur InDIANS—TRY THE Provosiii0n or RED CLoup.—Would it not really be a good plan to try the experiment of sending henest men to deal with the Indians? We have tried nearly everything else, from strychnine to the pala- ver of the Quakers, and nothing gives us a satisfactory result. In the recent Indian speeches the burden of the cry is that they have been cheated, right and left, on all occa- sions, and in every way. Now as the nation certainly has a disposition to exhaust fair means, why not try the proposition of Red Cloud and deal with the red man through honest agents?_ At least make it certain that the Indian hostility is not because of his dis- content over dishonest practices. GoLpwin Ssn1a.—In “Lothair” Mr. Disraeli 4s supposed to have alluded to Mr. Goldwin Smith as ® person “unable to profit even by his limited experience of life froma restless -vanity and overflowing conceit, which prevent him from ever observing or thinking of any- thing but himself. He was gifted with a great ‘command of words, which took the form of endless exposition, varied by sarcasm and pas- sages of ornate jargon.” Mr. Smith accepts the portraiture, and is even doing what he may by letter writing to demonstrate its fidelity, This course on his part was, however, not Recessary to justify Disraeh’s picture to those who remember the immeasurable conceit and impertinence of this professor apropos to Mr. Sumner’s speech on the Alabama claims treaty of Reverdy Johnson. The Revemue, Income Tax and General Financial Situation. The revenue of the government Is, in round numbers, $354,000,000—that is, from internal resources $180,000,000, and from customs $174,000,000, ‘The leading and prominent men of the dominant and administration party in Congress assert that the government can be carried on with an expenditure of a handred millions a year, or less, independent of the interest on the debt, The total interest on the debt is, without calculating fractions, 127,000,000, Add a hundred millions to this for current expenses and this will give a total of $227,000,000. But suppose we add thirty millions more, that is $130,000,000 a year for current expenses, independent of the interest on the debt; we then have a total of 257,000,000, or about a hundred millions less than the revenue. Tuhere is a surplus of a hundred millions a year. And this has been about the amount which the Secretary of the Treasury has had to apply for the purchase or liquidation of the debt. This isa very gratifying state of things for the country, so far as its resources and the payment of the debt go. It raises our credit abroad and at home and makes the bondholders everywhere happy. The Secretary of the Treasury and many others believe that it will enable the government to fund the debt at a lower rate of interest, though there may be some doubt if the bondholders would willingly relinquish securities which stand so high in the market and bearing six per cent interest for others bearing four or four and a half per cent. At any rate it shows the ability of the country to pay the debt, enormous ag it is, within a short time. But the question arises here, ought the present generation, or the people of the present time, who have borne the brunt of the battle for the Union, and who have contributed so largely to the necessities of the government, be called upon to pay the whole of the debt? Ought not the next generation, who will have suffered none ef the gvilg and immediate burdens of war, and for whose benefit it was waged, con- tribute something toward the payment of the debt 2 We do not agree with the short-sighted financial theorists who maintain that a national debt is a national blessing. It is an evil in every point of view in a republican couatry. In monarchical countries, where governments depend for their stability upon the support they may receive from artificial means, and not from the strength of the institutions or principles of self-government, a national debt may rally to their support, under any circum- stances, a large class of fundholders ; but we need no such expedient here. We do not want to create a class specially interested in sustaining the government for their own wel- fare. The people of the United States love their institutions and need no extrangous or artificial aid to maintain them or to stimulate their patriotism, A national debt here is not a blessing even in this sense. Indeed, it is a curse anywhere. It helps to create or maintain a privileged class, it keeps the mass of the peo- ple In poverty and “their noses to the grind- sione, and it is an efficient instrument in per- petuating tyrannical and class governments, No stronger support, probably, could be found, if a debt be not absolutely overwhelming, to @ monarchical or aristocratic government. Liberty and republican institutions need no such aid. Still, as was said, there is no ‘necessity to saddle the whole weight of the national debt, amounting in round numbers to two thousand four hundred millions, upon this generation, upon the people who have borne so much al- ready. Let us not stop paying the debt; Jet us contribute a good round sum annually’ for ita steady liquidation; but it is not necessary to pay a hundred millions a year and to tax the people for that amount. A permanent sinking fund of half or even one-third that gam would be sufficient. The people would see the debt wasting away gradually and be satisfied. As population and the wealth of the country increase the burden would be felt less, and if deemed expedient the sinking fund could be augmented afler some years have passed. This we consider the proper finan- cial policy of the government. A hundred millions a year can very well be cut off the revenue. Taxation to that amount can be reduced, and aitill a largo sum can be appropriated to the liquida- tion of the debt, as well as having a very liberal amount for current expenses, A revenue unnecessarily large only leads to ex- travagance and corruption. Economy and public virtue are closely connected. One of the first things Congresé should do is to abolish entirely the income tax. It is an unpopular and iuquisitorial tax. It invades the pri- vate affairs of our citizens and leads to false swearing and all sorts of corruption. It re- quires a costly and complicated system for its collection, Itigin every sense incompatible with the freedom of our republican institutions. The injury done to the country and morals of the people far exceed the value obtained. The tax on coal and other things of absolute neces- sity to the people should be abolished, and we are glad to see Congress is doing something to that end. A great deal, however, remains to be done. The whole system of revenue laws need simplifying, so that the income of the government may be derived chiefly from a few articles of luxury and at a comparatively small cost of collection, To pay the debt rapidly is no doubt gratifying and makes a fine financial exhibit to the country from month to month, but to reduce the taxation that bears most directly and heavily upon the people would be more popular. The adminis- tration and dominant party in Congress can do as they please; they have all the power, and we call upon them to relieve the people of many of their burdens and to leave the pay- ment of a portion of the debt to the rising generation and the future augmented wealth of the country. MonvMENTAL ANOMALIES.—As the people are just now discussing one more monument, would it be impertinent to inquire what has become of the monument to Lincoln? We do not object to monuments to Dickens, Schiller, Humboldt and all other men worthy such honor; but is it not odd that we should have them even before there is a monument in any public place in this city to Alexander Hamil- ton? ° {2s lature is that shown by the Senate in regard to pensioning Mrs. Lincoln. The bill for this purpose was taken up in the Senate yesterday, with a fair prospect of its passage, when Mr. NEW YORK HERALD, Congress—Mes, Lincoln's Pousioufue Franke ing Privilege Bul. Porhapa the most remarkable instance of petty malice ever evinced in any national logis- Edmunds of Vermont made a rabid Purltanical harangue in opposition to the measure, and succeeded in staving off the vote for the present. The Post Office Appropriation bill was taken up, and Mr, Ramsey moved as an amendment the House bill abolishing the franking privi- lege. The Senate, however, appeared little inclined to deprive themselves of this privi- lege, and accordingly rejected Mr, Ramsey's amendment by a vote of 16 to 31, Mr. Sum- ner then moved his amendment providing for & penny postage system for half ounce letter, authorizing stamped envelopes for the depart- menis and Congress and reducing the cost of mail service on railroads, The amendment was discussed at length and finally rejected, when another amendment was offered and adopted providing for the reduction of letter postage to two cenis. Without disposing of the bill the Senate adjourned. The first business before the House yester- day wasthe Virginia contested election case of Whittlesey against Mr, Kenzie, which was quietly disposed of by confirming the right of the sitting member, Mr. Kenzie, ‘to his seat. A resolution was introduced to pay Whittlesey, the contestant, fifteen hundred dollars for ex- penses, but this was a little too barefaged for even the Forty-first Congress to swallow with- out making a slight show of resistance, and accordingly the matter was laid over, Tho Committee on Military Affairs reported a bill equalizing bounties, allowing all soldiers eight and one-third dollars per month for each month served during the late war. The bill is the same bill which the Hongo had passed twice before, “and no objection being made it was the third time passed. The bill granting the island of Yerba Buena, in San Francisco harbor, to the Western Pacifie Railroad Company was taken up and its iniquity exposed by mr. gghbarn of Wis- consin so cleverly that the Honso rejected the bill by’a vote of 80 yeas to 82 nays. This is the severest rebuke the House has yet administered to the land grabbers, There are a number of like swindles before the House, and that body can do no more effective service than take similar action upon them all. Tho Great Beethoven Festival. The grand Beethoven Musical Festival will come to a conclusion to-day by an afternoon and an evening performance, The original de- sign of the jubilee did not extend beyond last night, but it appears that the managers have been so far encouraged by the extraordinary success attending the enterprise that they have prolonged it for another day. In many re- spects it has indeed been a great success. The whole prominent artistic talent in the country, whether native or foreign, has had an opportunity, in the brief space of a few days, to invite the criticism of the public under every phase of musical display. In oratorio, in opera, in the strength and unity of the grandest choral effects ever conceived by the mightiest minds; in the richness and grandeur and delicacy of insirumentation, as well as in the masterly skill which guides the baton of the conductors and minis- trates to make a harmonious whole of this vast mass of- atoms of sound, the thousands who visited the Coliseum dur- ing the past week found something not only to enjoy, but to study and think about. The strains of the music will pass away, but the experience of what art can be made to accom- plish will remain with the people after this grand effort has been completed. The Festival has brought out all our best artists, and in a variety most charming. We had Parepa-Rosa delivering the solemn pas- sages of Haydn's ‘‘Creation” magnificently, and in the lighter bits of opera as brilliantly as on the lyric stage. Kellogg, too, renewed in her audience.the fervor of admiration which she always awakens. Madame Anna Bishop brought back some of the pleasantest memories of her famitiar triumphs, Brignoli, of course, as delicious as ever in ‘I! Lombardi,” and “Trovatore” and “Don Giovanni,” and a host of others, from the German and English troupes, made a novel ensendle. We never had before, and may never see again, the same combination of foreign aud native talent of the first order in the country upon the same stage. In this sense at leust the great Beet- hoven Festival is a curiosity as well as a success. Now rmar Lo! the poor Indian, bas de- parted from Washington, the question there in polite circles is now, ‘‘Who is there to mourn for Logan?” 7 ary, Tavspse Suowsns in London indicate that the dry season in England, as in New York State and in Canada, is over, and that refresh- ing rains have generally set in over ‘“‘all the thirsty land” on the other side as well as on this side the rain-giving sea. A Wotrr IN A Trap.—In every recent tase of death by malpractice that has come before the public we have always looked for the name of Dr. Wolff, and we have found itin a great many. Now, every doctor who engages in this sort of ‘‘professional” enterprise commits acrime; Skill carries many doctors through, because as they do not cause death the case never comes before the public ; but when death is caused society has fair ground for claiming that exemplary punishment shall be meted to the offender. The testimony in the case of Henristta Uhlmann is sufficient to convict Dr. Wolff, and if he goes free we assist in the growth of crime. One criminal has just been sent to State Prison for ten years for attempt- ing to kill a man. Shall this one, who has actually killed more ‘than one woman, escape with a lighter punishment ? Rev River Resers.—The Canadians pro- fess to have received information that Riel can muster no more than three hundred fighting men, but can raise a thousand bummers if no hard knocks are expected and plunder be plenty. It is not astonishing that the Winni- pegers should have no stomach for fighting. They certainly cannot be so insane as to join Rielin the hope of finding anything worth stealing in the captured camps of the Qana- dian volunteers, ba ie Ried co CiSiat aod Aa aS Mah AA Dread dt Y toe Ses Re ea Sea SEs eae ae Eat Sanaa ile a SON oA MACS 2 ce Strikes and the Asiatic Elements The cordwainors in Massachusetts have put their foot tn tt, They have struck, for higher wages; and what is the result? ,The shoe manufacturers telegraph to China “or San Francisco for workmen, and, presto! as if by magic, up pops a gang of Oriental pigtails, cocked and primed, and, with their unrivalled imitative powers, within forty-eight hours they commence making shoes as handily as the most expert waxend in the Commonwealth. Of course this introduction of a foreign and servile class of workmen info a trade that had become, as it were, native and to the manner born in New England, created considerable indignation among the Crispin societies, and it was with no little difficulty that the Intruders were enabled to commence and proceed with their labors. But it is not only 'in New England that this excitement prevails. It has already spread to other places. In Troy, in this State, @ mass meeting of workingmen has been held and a protest entered. against the importation of coolie laborers. Statistics were shown where the Chinese had already seriously re- duced the wagés of certain kinds of labor in California, and predictions were made that if the coolies obtained a foothold in the manufacturing towns of the East and West an incalculable amount of damage would ensue to the native working classes. This damage would not be confined to the workingmen alone, but the working wo- men, especially in the shoemaking districts, would feel its effects more seriously than the men, There are many thousands of females employed in the shoemaking business in Mas- sachusetis and throughout New England. The delicate work they do can be readily imitated by the dainty-fingered Chinese, who can live and thrive upon what would not keep an American girl in shoestrings. Hence if these Asiatic cordwainers once obtain a foothold in *y Sr Pee ante ZO @ shoe imanufactories of the Bast the in- stincts of grasping capitalists will lead them to dispense with native-born labor altogether and engage that of the foreign element. In their sirikes, then, the workingmen should take a full view of the sliuation and weigh wren ong consequences. The market for skilled labor is not now what Ihwas gay yo oF throp years ago. The Taoiisraitepad. and steam communication with Asia have Opened chan- nels through’ which myriads of the unediployed people of that region can find access to these remote lands—even, as we have seen, to the heart of slave-abhorring New England itself. Coolicism is but another name for African slave labor, and as in old times Massachusetts was the first to reap benefits from the latter her moneyed men will not hesitate to jump at the opportunity and realize the most they can from the new system of servile employment just introduced, Workingmen’s strikes, there- fore, however justifiable they may be under the pressure of ¢xtraordinary circumstances, are fraught with new dangers and vicissitudes, A new class of beings has sprung up to take the place of the honest artisan or mechanic -who expects, may, demands, a fair remuneration for his toi!. This new class are entirely different in their habits, reli- gion, mode of living, education and ideas of free government from our workingmen. They have no family ties, no patriotic love of this land, no associations, no likes or dislikes, no sentiments whatever akin to our people. They are ready to work for nothing and accustomed to live on less. These points, we suggest, ought to be taken into consideration before a workingmen’s strike for trivial causes is con- cluded upon; for in the hordes of Asiatics ready to swarm into our manufacturing vil- lages, and into our city shops, stores, foun- dries, offices and elaewhere wiere cheap labor can be profitably employed, we see both an element of apprehension covering the interests of onr laboring classes and of future turbu- lence, if not of danger and disaster, more gen- eral and widespresd. Tne CLEMENOY OF THE CAPTAIN GENERAL.— It is quite a piece of horrible fun to read that the Captain General of Cuba on the occasion of his birthday has pardoned a soldier who was condemned to death. Perhaps this soldier had only killed some citizen of the United States, Toe Forgicn Insurance Bit Verorp.— Governor Hoffman has returned to the Secre- tary of State, without his signature, the Foreign Insurance bill, The Governor states many objections to the bill, showing that it discriminates most unjustly against foreign companies, but hopes that the next Legisla- ture will passa law which will secure the de- sired equaliti wo Important, iF By Autuorrry.—According to General Butler, who is supposed to speak by authority, any ship from any port in the United States, with men or arms on board for the Cuban causs, may go ulinolested by the United States to within a marine league of the island of Cuba. If this has been spoken by authority then we may assume that volunteers for Cuba will no longer be purgued by our federal authorities on the soit or in the waters of the United States; but that they will be freated as the Fenians have been treated, that is, a3 unoffending parties, until caught.crossing the line of a neighbor’s territory for war upon a Power at peace with the United States. And why not? That is the question. VENEZUELA'S New Trovs.eE—A Wark wita HOLLAND Possibte,—The news from Veue- zuela looks stormy, Gazman Blanco, who, at the head of his revolutionary followers, suc- ceeded in upsetting the Monagas government, not content with having a war on his hands at home, desires to engage in a conflict with a foreign Power. His seizure of the Dutch mail steamer Honfleur is very likely to embroil him in serious troub'e, The representative of the government of Wolland has already left the country in consequence of the affront that has been offered to his nation. The ports of Lavela, Porto Cabello and Maracaibo are once again closed to foreign commerce. It is ever thus in most of these Central American States; some daring, unprincipled adventurer is always ready to rise and endeavor to upset the gov- ernment which he cannot or will not support. Such fellows are always sure to find followers, and they are the curse of évery country that is burdened with them. The present revolu- tion in Venezuela is of a class with all the dis- turbances that convulse the Spanish Amori- can coyniries, SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1870. 1 We Pustisy this morning an account of the execution of a negro murderer in Virginia, together with an interesting sketch of his. crime, trial and conviction. Although tho man hanged had several confederates he was the only one to suffer the extreme penalty of the law, the other miscreants escaping with their lives, which, however, will be passed in prison, *GOODWOOD CUP.» Presentation at Columbia College Last Night, Agay and festive throng crowded the walks of Columbia College last evening, and the College building was lighted up not only with pleasant faces but with every indication that there was a good time, and that it was the delight as well as the duty of everybody to be genial and happy. The occasion for all this was the presenta- tion of the ‘Goodwood Cup, Class of 71,” to Mr. James Morse, a Columbian of this class, who haa distinguished himself above his class-mates, not 60 much for his proficiency in his studies, though that {8 very respectable. and worthy of commendation, but for his good-fellowship, for his disposition to be to his “ chums" a thoroughly ‘jolly good fellow,” And go said all of Class 71, and the Goodwood Cu that is given for an amiable temper an @ ‘Mark Tapley” kind of usefulness, was given with a hearty unanimity to Mr. James Morse, The resentation took place on the stoop of the butlding, in the front of which were gathered a bevy of fair Jadies, acoompanied by thelr gentlemen frie:ds- ‘The cup was presented by Mr. C. C. Munroe, preceded by a few observations of encouragement to the Co- lumbians generally and of well deserved praise to Mr. Morse, who suitably acknowledged the gift. Cheer after cheer was given, aud the band strack up @ merry, cheeriu) melody as Mr. Morse took the cup in hand and exhib,ted it in proud but modest trlump! to his friends, ‘The Columbians afterwards adjourned to supper, and talked over their cotlege recollections together, hotable amonest which was the fact, of which they were very proud, that Mr. George L. Keeves, a Columbian, has recenily received a fellowship for honors in Trinity College, Cambridge, England. ‘The entire arrangements were high'y creditable to Mr. Robert Walters, jun., who acted as Grand Mar- shal on the occasion.

The affair derived consideravie additonal interest frorh the fact that it celebrated tne fiftieth anni- versary of the school, and the halt was crowded with elegantly dressed Jadies and gentlemen, who scemed highly pleased with the exercises, and were by uo means chary of their applause. The exhibition was under the immediate direction of the rector, Rey. Henry B. Chapin, Ph. D., and the excellent professor of elocution, Mr. Henry McUutcheon. A noticeable feature was the absence of a prompter and the entire Jreedom from any hesitation or embarrassinent on the part of the scholars. The programme was made up of deciamations and recitations, and included live diaogues. The declamations were in great variety, allowing the efforts of the most humble to enier in competition with the finely wrought and polished essays of the gifted ones, and includlug themes of every description, from ‘fhe Lady and the Tiger,” by’a little boy of seven, to the “Bridge of Sighs,’ ‘Spartacus’ and ‘Motamora,” by the Jarger lads, As usual, the oratorical display was largely made up of -the ‘“heroic’’ and humorous, with an almost total absence of those gems of pathos which are the most powerful lever that can be applied to move the feelings of any audience, and which might be cultivated with great effect in the teaching of youthful and purg minds, There were in all eleven declamations, ana the dialogue were—“Andy’s Experience at tne Post Oitice;?’ “Coriolanus,” scene 5, act v.; scene from William Tell; the “Rival Orators,” and ‘Phe Speculators." At the close of the exercises the rector distributed a large number of prize3 to the fortunate members of the “Roll of Honor,” and the schooi was disbanded for the summer vacation, gore ro nes a MUSIC IN CENTRAL PARK.
