The mere rebuke of Mr. Cooper ia of mnot much importance, but it is essential that the dignity of Congress should be maintained—we are al- most compelled to say should be restored. The oceasion of offense may be ¢rivial, but the isgue between a member and the House is not to be evaded. I the House rofuses to censure Mr. Cooper, the public will award to the House that measure of condemnation which the House should have imposed on its offending member, In view of the week’s occarrences, we suggest that Mr. Leonard W. Jerome should transfer his 000 for gentlemanly, conduct from Princeton College to Congress. There, it might result in aneeded reform. ———— Gien. Dix is now Naval Officer of the Port of New-York, to which lucrative place he was appointed by the President immedi- ately after the adjournment of tho Sen- ate, on the strength of an elaborate opinion by Attorney-General Stansbury that the ap- pointment could be lawfully made during the recess of Congress, though the contrary opinion had always been maintained by the Senate and acquicsced in by the Exeeutive. Gen. Dix stepped into the vacant office, whose emolu- ments are worth about #45,000 a year, and has already drawn some $9,000 from it. On recciv- ing Lis appointment as Minister to France. he sent in bis® resignation as Naval Oficer, to take effect on the appointgent of his successor. But his successor has not yet been appointed, and is not likely to be very soon; 50 that Gen. Dix retains possession of two. of- fices, one of which yields more income than the united salaries of Gen, Grant, Licat.-Gen, Sher- man, and Admiral Farragut. The question for the Senate to decide is, Whether Gen. Dix shall be confirmed for Lolh these odices, or fof ouly stroyed the government which owed him the | REK DAJLY TRIBUNE, - TRy L T onet an ut oneé, which one? It s the gen- eral opinion that no officer of the United States shall hold more than one office the emoluments of which exceed 32,500 a year; but Gen. Dix, Altorney-Gen. Stansbury, and the President, appear to think differently. The public look with considerable interest to the Senate to Jearn what that honorable body thinks on the subject. ] LOYALTY. The most wrgent need of our country to-day is, that her people, North and South, should thoroughly understand each other. At present, they are completely befogged and at cross- purposes; and one of tho chiof instruments of their mutual misconception is the unambiguous word Loyalty, Let us try to elucidate their confusion. Siuco the suP'cu:ln:_r of the Rebel Armies, but more capecially within the last year, there havo been many murders and other outrages perpetrated at the South. Most of these have been murders of Unionists by those who, while the struggle lasted, gloried in being known as Socessioniats or Confederates. Some of the victima were Union soldiers; others, Southern Unionists; mapy of them were ‘White, but more were Black; and we lack proof that the spirit which impelled to these homicides is yet extinet, “Well, what of it?" asks a Copperhead. “Have there not been murders at the North “ag well? murders by men in blue overconts “as well ns in threadbare gray? murders by “those you call loyal as well as by ex-Rebels ? “murders of Whites by Blacks as well s of “Blacks by Whites? and is it not notorions “that, vight here in New-York, there are several “ marders committed to every one that Oakey “Ifall manages to have punished? Then what “are you trying to make ont?" Just this, Sir—and we beg your Bouthern friends to take carcful heed of it—that, while murders and other outrages aro deplorably common in all parts of our country, and the perpetrators too frequently escape arrest, con- viction, and punishment, public sentiment at the North favors and demands the execution of the law against criminals, while it seems not to do s0 at the South, when the perpetrator was a Rebel and his victim is a Unionist, especially a Black one. Can we be mistaken as to the fact? If so, some one can easily point us to a score of re- cent instances—or, at least, half a dozen—wherein the Rebel slayer of a Black, or other conspicu- ons Unionist, has been promptly pursued, ar- rested, indicted, tyied, convicted, and pomished by the State or local authorities as reconst meted by President Johnson. Aund we shall be very much obliged to any one who will favor ua with cven one well authenticated case wherein the White Sontherner who has feloniously killed a negro has been treated by the local or State authorities precisely as his victim would have been Nad the slayer and the slain changed places Now if killing a negro is practically regarded | and treated as no erime, or a very venial one, by the ex-Rebel authoritics of the South, how can the South axpect the present or the next Congress to vecognize those authorities as Jegitimate, and ndmit men of like spirit and | purposes to seats in either House? How c auy one expect it Let us illustrate by a case whercin no ne hiad any part whatever, and which has passed through several atages of adjudication. An agent of the Federal Government geized a lot of Cotton in South Carolina, near Angusta, (ieorgia, a8 having been subscribed or contrib- uted by the planter who grew it, to the serviee | and sapport of the Rebel Confederacy; there- fore, forfeited to our Government by the un- doubted laws of war. Certain United States soldiers were set to guarding that seized Cotton. Oue night, two sous of the planter, with two or three accompliccs, crept up to those soldiers | under cover of the darkness, shot them dead, | and ran off the Cotton beyond rccovery. But | the culprits were discovered by Gen. Sickles, arrested, tried by a military commission - victed of murder, and sentenced to death. President Johnson commuted that sentence into perpetnal imprisonment in Fort Del- aware, whither they were duly conveyed, But U. S. District Judge Iall of Delaware soon | took them out of the Fort on habeas corpus and set them at liberty, on the assumption that their trial and conviction by a military court was illegal and invalid—a po.ition which we understand to have since been fully sustained by a majority of (he Supreme Court in the Milligan ¢ Now, then, i8 there one man on all the earth who believes that these midnight assassing of Federal soldiers for simply doing their duty are, or ever were, in danger of being arvested, tried, convieted, and punished, by the present loeal authorities of South Carolina or of Georgia? And, | if not, what is the action of the Supreme and District. Courts iif their case but a pros of impunity to Rebel the compass of human imagination to fancy John Marshall prononncing a decision whereof this would be the matural result? And if more soldiers, or other loyal persons, shall be mur- dered under like circamstanees sins shall laugh toscorn the sugg ment, will not the blood of the slain lie heavily on the sonls of David Davis, Stephen J. Field, Samuel Nelson, Nathan Clifford, and Robert €. irier? We are not attempting to scan the | pects of the grave questions involy consider the cases in their direct, O as- We 1. actical bearings, and we deplore the impunity they seem to give to crimes impelled by Rebel mal- ice as a very serions obstacle to the restoration of the Union. We do not favor the requirement by Congress of a retrospective, pluperfect loyalty. In view of all the facts, this seems illiberal and unwise. Albert Gallatin wis said to have taken part in the Pennsylvania Whisky Rebellion; yet he afterward became one of our most honored and trusted statesmen. We believe many who were zealous Confederates are now hearty Unionists, and we must regret the denial to such of any opportunity to earn bread or scrve the country. Let us have a Bankrupt Law for the hopeless- ly indebted, and something corresponding to it for those who, having been Rebels, are Rebels no more. But every act, decision, or movement, which tends to foster present disloyalty at the South—to proffer impunity to crime and out- rage which have theirimpulse in malice engen- dered by the Rebellion or its overthrow—is a new and formidable barrier to Reconstruction, and a8 such to be sternly resisted. The miller who sends to market unsound flour, or the inspector who brands such flour as superfine, is guilty of wholesale poisoning, and is worthy of a cell at Sing Sing. This fraud has grown to be a gigantic one, and should receive prompt legislative notice. Were the manufacturers the only offenders, their evil practices- could be checked by fonest ins tors; but the report presented lately -to ithe Farmers' Club states that millers of Troy bra- zenly threatened to oust from office an insvec- | prosperous and still rapidly estending. It has | prowing region; it has il SATUR mands; and it is further stated ilat gt the Corn Exchange the offering of a lot of flour as “middling” was looked upon as an evidenee of the stupidity of the miller, who might as well have made more mouey out of tpe inferior stuff by having it branded as superfine, one brand being a8 easily obtained as the other. 1f this charge is true, the managers of the Corn Exchange are participators in fraud, and deserve fines and imprisonment for every bar- rel of poor. flour which they allow to be sold as extra or superfine. In view of these charges _which the Committee assert they [can abund- antly prove—the recommendation that the Leg- islature enact stringent penalties for the viola- tion of the inspection laws, and that {:n in- spector fop the Mgtropoljtan District be ap- filoinigs, 'wfth %ull fimér tlt‘) enfotee all needful regulations, will be heartily seconded by overy honest man. If these revelations concerning the breadstuffs trade of our eity are capable of proof, then any mereantile body which up- Lolds such practices ghould be dealt with a§ summarily as if it were composed of the shoulder-hitters of the Eon\mon Council. PIOAFCT10R A% 4 FAFT. Thore are millions yet living who were bor beforo the great Napoleon laid, despite a chorus of doubts and sncers, the foundations of the Ject Sugar industry of France. He may bo said to have had no choice; but weakness sue- cumbs to disagreeable necessities, while genins enrmonnts them. France, triumphant on land, was under maritime blockade, Rodney and Nelson had swept her flag from the seas, and the victors of Marengo, Austerlitz, Jena, and Friedland, were obliged to drink their coffee without sugar, or sweelen it at the cost of a dollar per pound. That Sugar was essentially a tropical product, and only to be grown along the 50th paraliel of north latitude at a price utterly ruinous, was an article of the creed of mankind. All manuer of professors and other depositories of useless knowledge stood ready to certify that making Sugar in France was exactly on a par with extracting sunbeams from cucumbers or growing pincapples in Greenland. The British (who always protected their own infant or im- periled industries and discouraged like protec- tion by othiers) fairly exploded with derision o the Little Corporal's last and greatest folly. One of their innumerable pasquinades on this theme ended nearly as follows: « 8ays John Bull to Bony, while T use the cane, You are welcomo cnough to get beat.” e comdd make no smart replies to these lam- poons; he simply and sileutly went on making Beet Sugar. The art bad to be ereated as well as the in- dustry; and of comse great blunders were made, great ervors had to be corrected by ex- perience. Beet Sugar made in France at first cost many times the price of Cane Sugar made in the East or West Indics. Bat every year of resolute persoverance increased the skill and efficieney of the growers and manufacturers; each year witneased the invention or adoption of new machines, new processes, auxiliary to v industry ; 8o that, when Napoleon fell, ypinion, gronnded in the snecess already tatedd to his Bourbon snecessors 1 of the needed Protection, thongh France had now restored to her some cuall bat choies tropical isles wherein Cane Sugar was produced as cheaply and amply as whei enrth, ins nurtured, the Beet Sngar manufacture w steadily in extent and effic , antil it | had long sinee ontgrown the need of Protec- tion.

The | Beet Sugar manufacture which she created has overflowed her boundaries, and Belgium, Italy, termany, Hungary, and even Russia, have paturalized and are steadily increasing it. Sugar—the luxury of the poor—the only luxury of many of them—is now enjoyed by many millions of people who would rarely have tasted it had it continued to be an exotic. The en- | joyments—few enongh at best—of the laboring masses of Europe have been signally, perma- | nently inereased by the protection accorded by Napoleon to the production of Beet Sugar i France. These and kindred facts do not find a place in the writings of the presidents and professors who supply our colleges with their Political Economy. They tell you that Protection is a | dovice of manufacturers to inerease their profits ; but ask them who and where were the manu- facturers whom Alexander Hamilton, Henry Clay, Matthew Ca Hezekiah Niles, and their compeers, were intent on enviching when they initiated - the Protection whereby American Manufactures wers warmed into existence, and ¢ have no answer. But the P wiser than the professors ; and in their instinet- ive sag: v is our fimst. AID FOR THE GR S. A public meeting in aid of the suffering families of the Cretan insurgents will be held at the Cooper Iustitute this evening. Mayor Hoffman will preside ; Henry Ward Beecher, George Bancroft, Wm. M. Evarts, the Rev. Dr. Hitcheoek, and Mr. Oscanyan, a native of Turkey, will spoak ; and the long list of Vie Presidents, which we print in another columu, includes the most eminent citizens of New-York, We hope to sce an imposing manifestation of the traditional sympathy of Americans with the oppressed and miserable of whatever race. We hope to see a proof that our people bave not forgotten their old time regard for Greece cspecially—a regard which cheered and encour- aged her in the struggle by which she con- quered her independence, and which has more than once animated the Cretans themselves in their frequent battles with the Ottoman despot- ism. Two hundred years ago the fight between these islanders and their Turkish masters began ; began on the very day when the Turks first became their masters and it has continued with varying intensity ever since. Never fora moment has Crete yielded even a tacit submis- gion to her cruel conqueror. Never has she omitted an opportunity to assert her right to independence, or despired of its ultimate at- tainment. There is no rebellion in her case, for the subjection in which she has been held was wover o willing.nor 4 just one. She is doing to- day what she has done incessantly ever since the Tucks stola bor from the Vepetisus—oro- | mitigating |« L me e v i Qutrago and struggling to get freo. o LR This fact alone i enough to enlist ou pathies in behalf of the patriots, but there are other circumstances which strengthen their claims upon our interest. The present insur- rection is not only a conflict between freedom on the one side and one of the worst despotisins in the world on the other, bat it is an effort in the direction of national unity, an attempt to found a grest Christian kingdom on the ruins of a decayed, corrupt, hateful Mussul- man empire, & movement for the consolida- tion of the scattered Greek peoples into one powerful Grecian monarchy. It is not a scheme of ambitious statesmen, but a spontaneous enter- prise of the people themselves, The flame has spread from Crete through all the islands of the Archipelago, and lias kindled afire in Greece itsclf which will not soon be extinguished. The heroism of their ancestors has descended to the patriots of to-day. The glorious spirit which immortalized the defenders of Thermopyla sur- vives to cast a deathless luster round the little band that was sacrificed the other day at Arkadi, and the memories of that mountain convent will perhaps be associated in after times with those of Marathon and Salamis. Settipg aside tho ?tl;\usins W, springs froni the #pectaclo of noble eeds performed in a noble cause, the promptings of humanity alone ought to induce us to be lavish with our sympathy and our money in the cause which is now presented to us, We are not called upon to interfere in the struggle; we are mnot asked for arms and warlike stores, or for money to buy them with. But while the patriots are fighting,_ their wives and children are starving. While the able-bodied are defending their fortresses in the bills, the sick and the weak are perishing in the vill: Tt is for these poor wretches that our generosity is invoked. It is to raise means for keeping these non-com- Dbatants alive throngh the Winter, and thereby enabling the insurgents to hold out until Spring Dbrings them relief, that the meeting is sum- moned this evening. Let it be a meeting wor- thy of us and worthy of the cause. It is the same cause for which, forty years ago, Web- ster, Clay, and Everett appealed and Byron fought. The fsympathy and assistance of the Christian nations enabled Greece to gain her independence then; we hope they will enable Crete to secure her freedom now. MORE EXE It seems, if we may er reach us, that the public is about to be treated to another and most notable exhibition of the tender-heartedness that Mr. President John- son has for the moble army of rogues. Another is to be given of the tolerance he for criminals who have offended against the statutes of the United States, and are undergoing the punishment awarded them by the courts, Having shown mercy to il-tobbers, connterfeiters, and embezzling us kinds, he is about to ex- tend the benefits of his pardoning prerogative to the most noted felon that Ne ork has' contributed during the war to the Sing Sing calendar. In a word, Mr. Solomon Kobnstamm is abont to be enlarged! This distinguished personage, having sue- ceeded in corrupting successive disbursing of- ficers, in tempting scores of ignorant persons to their moral ruin, in driving at least two officers of the Regular Army to suicide, in de- frauding the United States out of something ing no end of forgeries and false affidavits, and in making the Disbursing Office a public scan- dal and a reproach, was finally ecaught, tried, and sentenced to serve ten years in Sing Sing. The penalty was for ten years only, although the Grand Jury of the United tea Court Dadd found 48 good and sufficient bills of in- dictment against him, each bill representing cither a forgery to which he had been a party, or a falsified voucher which he had collected. Before this result ecould be reached, the Gov- ernment had to pass throngh a long and hard fight with the best talent at the New-York Bar that the cviminal could hire with money ; and so unreasonable were the delays obtained by Jim, that a resolution of inquiry had finally to be introduced into the United States Senate why he was not brought to trial. The evidence produced before the Court showed | such a series of offenses on Kolinstamm's part, lia state of corruption in the Disburs- ing Office, that tn passing sentence Judge Nel- son was foreed to say to the prisoner: “The “ magnitude of these frauds upon the Govern- “ment is appalling. A person witnessing your “trial, and hearing the evidence in the case, wouid “almost come to the concliision that the Dis- “ bursing Office of the Government in this city “ was established for the payment of false and to ascer “ frandulent, rather than genuine and honest, | “¢lpims upon it.

MUSIC. ittt Mr. Carl Wolfssohd is to_be highly praised for the intelligence which he brings to the performance of compositions so rich in the emotional and intellectual soience of music as Beethoven’s Sonatas. Yesterday, at Steinway’s, he gave his sixth Beethoven matiuee, with the Sonata Pathetigie, memorable for its sweets smfim adagio, each note of which tauches the noblest and most imaginative sensibility ; the Soi in E flat, the Largo passage of which is grandly skilifully toned and’ varied—the Allegretto gracions and graceful; and lastly, and perhaps most impres. sive, the Sonatain A flat major, a work of extraordin- ary variety aud freedom. Mr. Wolfssohn's interpre- tation is clear, facile, and versatile, as it should be, and his_handli g is never too strongly emphatie. Just such gualitics as these are necded in Beethoven's expositor, and it is to Mr. Wolfssohn'’s ordin; credit to say that in his performance the composer seen, and not the player. Mr. Pollack, a baritono ot “mfi,tefl'" and culture, has assisted at the matinées creditably. —The Philharmonic Society fiiv' aconcert this even- ing, with overtures by Mendelssehn and Cherubini as the chief features, and Mr. Wenzel Kopta, a new violinist, among other noted performers.

And yet he had hardly been safely lodged in Sing Sing Prison before in- fluences were set to work to proenre his release. Money was lavishly expended to this end, and President Lincoln and his successor were in turm besought for pardon. The tears of wo- man backed up the importunities of paid counsel and agents, and in one way or an- other three members of the Cabinet were in- duced to sign the petition. The opposition of Mr, Stanton prevented the consummation of the plot, and has kept this criminal in prison until the present time. But it is alloged that the money at his disposal has finally prevailed over all opposition, and that the terms of pardon have been agreed upon in definnce of the requirements of justice and public morals.
