enefits of republican freedom. Let the moral sentiment of the community be no longer shecked by spectacles of poor negroes being fried at stakes or sandwiched between one ‘another by the neck upon the branches of trees. Abolishing the Grades of Admiral and Vice Admiral—Will the Senate Concur? For one reason particularly we trust that the Senate of the United States will not con- cur in the resolution of the House of Repre- wentatives to abolish the grades of admiral and vice admiral in the navy. We centend that the commanders of our squadrons on fereign service should be of a rank equal to the commanders of the squad- rons of other nations. If we wish our maval representatives to command the respect ‘and attention of foreign officers we must give ‘them rank equal to those with whom they are thrown in contact. If the English and (French squadrons in the Mediterranean, in the ‘China‘seas, or inthe Pacific Ocean, are com- manded by a vice admiral, the squadron of ‘the United States should be commanded by an officer of equal grade, or else we shall suffer materially both in our intercourse and by com- parison. Our fleet may be superior in number yand class; its commander-in-chief older in tyears and in service, yet, if not equal in rank, the receives less honors and less attention than tthe officer of superior grade whose flag may fy over a smaller vessel and whose entire ycommand may number only half the ships and jeuns of our own. If any of our home ports tare visited by a foreign officer of high rank fwe should have at home an officer of equal wank to receive and entertain him. Indeed, every consideration demands that the ranks twe have created no sooner than they were re- Aired should be retained. In former years, when captain was the high- yest grade in our naval service, and when the feommander-in-chief of our squadrons was termed commodore by courtesy alone, our aval authorities abroad were on several oc- jcasions treated with marked indignity, which nearly led to serious consequences, owing en- itirely to the inferior rank of our commanding pfficer. A British or French or any other Wice or rear admiral would not recognize one pef our commodores as his equal merely be- jcause he commanded a squadron. No; the flag was not the shape or in the place it should he to grant the required honors; the rank ‘vas wanting, and without this our commo- Wiores had to submit to indignity that it was not fin their power to resent. They felt the hu- hniliation, but were obliged to submit to it and tpocket the affront, which would not have been yoffered had our government seen fit to place jthem on an equality with the officers they were wompelled to meet on foreign stations, It is now known by all maritime Powers what we have the three grades of admiral in ‘our naval service, and to them it will appear most singular that a wealthy and powerful mation that claims to be inferior to none whould, on the score of economy, abolish the ftwo highest grades. Already the rumor of jour government intending to do so has gone ‘abroad, and it has caused comment not the most favorable to us,,and if the measure is warried out it will not benefit us in our inter- ‘course with foreign naval officers ; indeed, it pwill cause us to fall in a great measure from our fhigh estate and reduce us in the opinion of sother nations to an inferior naval Power, and mot without some show of reason. We trust that our Senators will view the subject calmly tand in its proper light. The United States yeannot afford to make impolitic moves on the eore of economy, nor will it be prudent to sallow our naval service to fall to the position fit occupied before the rebellion. If admiral ‘and vice admiral ave done away with the next ‘move will be to abolish the grades of rear ‘admiral and commodore, and who knows ‘where it will stop? ‘Let well enough alone.” Abolishing the two ranks will not reduce taxa- ‘tion, but it will injure our naval service, and this is wrong. Everything should be done to jretain the high name and fame it has most ‘worthily obtained. Let every officer feel that Bhere is a possibility of his obtaining the ighest rank known in any naval service. his will tend to improve the morale of the mavy, while an opposite course would only fiend to injure it. We trust the Senate will wiew the subject in this light and refuse to ‘abolish the grades of admiral and vice admiral, “A Foe and His Money Soon Parted.”” {Every now and then the world of journalism ia moved by some eccentric motion out of its jusual conrse, At one time we have spasmodic efforts in the sphere of funny papers; but jthey are suffered to scintillate for a short time vand are then snuffed out. Then we have a #®pasm of journalism in the way of religious venterprise. An Jadependent rans out a triple sheet with coarse woodcuts and alley and gutter advertisements, and a Cliristian Union, hwith Henry Ward Beecher at its head anda pretty well conducted publisher's department at its tail, starts on its career to enlighten anankind and the people of New York in par- ‘dicular. But the hugest effort in the way of wpatterdash journalism is that conceived in the brains of discontented and ambitions poli- Nicians, who imagine that they can, by the expenditure of twenty or thirty thousand dollars, command public attention and accom- plish certain aims, This is the most foolish of all experiments in journalism. But it is not real journalism. It is Improper to so style it. Itis simply the concentration of a small amount ef small capital by a few small Politicians for the purpose of attaining some pmall personal objects and gratifying some petty personal avengements, In this connec- tion we mean especially to allude to the futile attempt of Judge Ledwith, Dr. Blumenthal, Congressmen John Fex and John Morrissey, Sheriff O'Brien and others to found a journal upon the basis of ene idea, The paper was obliged to plunge into scurrilily in order to have it talked about and hawked about; but seurrilty in a newspaper seldom pays in the long ma. fs would have been much better for these gentlemen to have consulied with some experienced journalists— those “who have paid their money aud have a right to choose”—in regard to their proposed experiment, The Zridune, the Tines, the World, and even our modest might have given them some impor(int advice upoa the subject. They might have received some practical hints that would have saved their con- NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1870.—TRIPLK SHEET, trom on an unenviable reputation as newspaper adolescents, The fact is the fleld of standard journalism in this city is pretty well filled. There is no room here for smali-potato papers, nor Bohemic vaporings aod blackmail assess- ments. New papers may be born and tolerably well bred, but unless they can command almost limitless capital and are conducted by men ef brains, industry and enterprise, they are sure to go by the board upon the first adverse blast. All who invest their money in such enter- prises may console themselves by reflecting upon the homely eld adage at the bead of this article, to wit—*“A fool and his money are soon parted.” Laxemboure. In connection with the present European trouble Luxembourg has been brought prom!- nently before the public mind. Luxembourg is not, however, a new name in connection with European complications. It constitutes part of that border land which from time im. memorial has been the battle field of Europe. Not to go back to times too remote, it formed part of the Burgundian inheritance of the Em- peror Charles V. From Charles it passed, with the Low Countries, to his son, Philip II of Spain. In 1659, the year which is marked by the peace of the Pyrenees, part of the duchy was ceded to France, and was hence forth called French Luxembourg. The peace of Utrecht, 1713, which marked the close of the war of the Spanish succession, restored it to the House of Austria. In this connection it remained till it was overrun by the armies of the French republic—the duchy remaining in the hands of the French until the downfall of Napoleon, The treaties of 1814 and 1815 con- verted it intoa grand duchy, and handed it over te the King of the Netherlands. In 1830 the duchy was compelled very absurdly to share the fate of the Netherlands—part going to Belgium and part to Holland. Those who are old enough to remember 1830 and the nine years that followed require not to be told how, in 1839, the trouble between the two little kingdoms was ended by a new treaty signed in London—a treaty which per- petuated the division of the duchy, but which made the King of Holland in virtue of his portion of it a member of the German Con- federation. Our readers have not forgotten the German war of 1866 or the Luxembourg trouble of the following year, when the Treaty of London, 1867, prevented war between France and Prussia by providing for the per- petual neutrality of the duchy and the dis- mantling of the border fortress of the same name, situated in the duchy. This last London Treaty Prussia signed. This, on a miserable pretext, she now threatens to violate. The poor Luxembourgers have no great reason to rejoice that their lives have been cast in so unpleasant places. The pluck and spirit which they are now manifesting against Prussian intolerance show that in spite of their much suffering they have not lost all sense of the value of independence. The weak have rights as well as the strorg; and it isnot impossible that through Luxem- bourg triumphant Prussia may be taught to respect other rights than her own. Surely it has not come to this, that international treaties are wholly valueless. Hypropnosia IN JOURNALISM.—Our usually mild and courteous contemporary, the Times, seems to have been suddenly attacked with a fit of the rabies. It is not satisfied with attack ing Fisk, Gould and Company for their admin istration of the affairs of the Erie Company, but it must assail the private and professional reputation of our eminent fellow citizen, David Dadiey Field, This is unfair. Mr. Field, in acting in his professional capacity as a law- yer, is no more responsible for the acts of his clients than would Charles O’Conor be respon- sible for the deeds of a client whom he should defend on acharze of murder or any other crime. Fair play is a jowel that should orna- ment the journalistic as well as all other pro- fessions. Tne Corron Crop for this year is esti- mated at three million eight hundred thousand bales. With the previous estimates of wheat and corn, which indicated that more ground was given to these cereals and less to cotton in many of the Southern States, and consider- ing that “niggers won't work,” this increase on the average crop is extraerdinary.
