When the gallant Col. M’Ci.ui& held his celebrated interview with Gen, Giant February last, he begged the General not to put into the Cabi was then abont to organize any such man as Mr. Apoirie Bort, for the reason that politi cians of that stamp “could not vitulize a party.” To thistho General replied with one of the humorous sayings which he some. times has at his command. We don’t now remember what he said, but he was thought atthe time to have got immensely the ad- vantage of MoCLunn, Since then Bonte has been lifted into the Cabinet and has been hoisted out again,to give place to a Jerseyman just as little known fund just as insignificant as he was; and now wo read in the papers that Joun Coyonn and Simon CamEnon are in Washington to implore Gen. Gra as MeChunn did in February, to put somebody into the Cabinet whose appointment will vitalize the polities of Pennsylvania, and save the Republicans from the defeat with which they feel that they are threatened in Octobe: Whether Gen, Guan still thinks his wit of February to have been good wit, and the appointment of the amiable Bours—with bis gift of fiv thousand dollars toward Gen, Granv's house—to have been a brijliant appoinument, he would probably rather not state at pre bent. Whatever may now be it is most probable that the Republicans will e beaten in Pennsylvania, and let us say, mainly because Gen, Grant has proved himself unequal to the work he has undertaken to do, ‘To change the Cabinet how, and appoint the ablest and most unoly jectionable citizen of that State in’ the place of Mr, Fis, Mr. Hoan, Mr. Creswevt, or Mr. country can oity, ot Pip With their oat ente ani in done, Roweson, would not mend the matter muc iN for the moment. Neither would it do much good, so far as the votes of the Pennsylva pians in October are concerned, for the Presi- dent at once to throw overboard the crew of his relations and cronies, the Casrys, the Dente, the Hupsons, the Foups, and the | rest of them, for whose benefit he has treated the public servies as a sort of mefchautman, on whose fat cargo he would have his favorites yrow rich and lusty, It would probably also be useless for the purpose of Wis Pennsylvania cliction, to reverse the fatal poliey toward the Cubans, which has put this great couniry iuto the sad and re volting: position of a epy and a policeman of Spanieh despotisun, laloving for the perpetua tion of slavery in Cuba, All these acts of the President are bad, very bad; they ought to be changed without delay ; but to chan. them will not change the political tendene es of Pennsylvania in time for this election Neither will it restore Gen, Granr to the place in the public esteem which be occupied before his inauguration. Errors may be cor rected, but they cannot be forgotten, Con fidence once forfeited cannot be fully restored We have repeatedly comm ented on the ox troordinary want of shown by Gen. GRANT in the comporition of his Cabi net. How he should have been guilty ot such miraculous luck of wisdom itis dilliewlt Yo imagine. It ia just as if he had chosen ebscure non-con: the tommand of army corps and armies during the war, leaving the Suenmans, Tuo Ases, SMBKIDANS in idle inaction. The only result of such a course with an army would be defeat; and Gen, Grany will yet come to understand, if ho lives a your or two longer, that as much common rense is ue sessary in the government of a country us in the command of troops. He learns this indirpensable lesson very slowly, however. This last astonishing ay pointment of Ropeson shows that he still supposes that he can frecly indulge the levi ty of hisown whim in the selection of his ministers. This is a dangerous delusion, like several others that possess him, and control his judgment. We tell him in all kindness and earnestness, that he is walk ing on the verge of a precipice, and that bis ruin and that of his purty will be black, sud- aptured seredion ssioned officers tor den, and beyond remedy, if he does not speedily arouse himself to the realities around him, A_ free gov- ernment can only be carried on with the hearty support of the people. Will Gen, ¢ | emissaries of Buropean monarehy one of the approaching elections, make haste to retrace his ill-advised steps, and as far as possible to repair the fauits he lias commit- ted, —— Ald and Comfort to Spanish Slavery. ‘Tho resolve of the Administration to with hold rerognition from the Cabans until the Spanish Minister shall condescend to aativfy Mr. Fist that the last Spanish soldier has boen driven from the island, places this coun. try in the ridiculous and disgraceful position of shutting the door against tHe progress of liberty on this continent, till ft may ple the foreign oppressor to avow his defeat and to ene for merey.

But who could have anticipated that the liberal policy which wo pursued during the wenkuess of the United States would be abandoned in the days of our strength ¢ Who could have foreseen that the hand of fellowship extended to revolted American colonies in the days of our puny infancy would be palsied at the tonal manhood? Tho sud explanation of this anomaly is, that while the nation has grown up to the stature of a giant, its executive representa- tives have dwindled down to the proportions of dwarfs. While the country is in the zenith of its power, and better able than ever before to enlarge the domain of republicanism by cordially supporting: an American State in its attempt to overthrow the tyrannical rule of Europe, President Quant and Secretary Fisn exhibit nothing but timidi- ty, formality, and debility, Instead ef eon: mandingg the Sponiard to loosen his grasp upon Cuba, they actually abet him in tight- ening it. ‘Thus they make of the tradition the precedenta, the noble, liberal ambition of America, the laughing stock of mankind. Have all the courage and firmness of Gen. Grant forsaken bin in ercssing thethreshold of the White House? Does he really so far une derrate the American people os to suppose them w lling to abandon the uniform practice f the Government toward nations straggling for independence, and to leave Cuba to her fate? "D6Es he suppose we have forgotten what other powers Cid for us when our fathers were fighting the bard fight of our Revolution, that we do not recoynize any ob- Nigetion to render the fame service to our neighbors in the West Indies? Does Mr. Seeretary Fist in reality believe that the Ame his smooth personal relations with the Span. ish envoy and other diplomats, than upon the emancipation of a neighboring people from slavery and tyranny? What is the meaning of our thus biting the dust before the Spaniard ? Do these men dressed in a litle bref authority really love that this coun try stands in awe a r of the Castilian, and wants the Cuban patriots to be shot down lke dojyrs, because our functionaries wish to sail in smooth diplomatic waters ?

The /bat sees in it another argument in faver of remitting the control of our municipal affairs entirely to the elected authorities of the city; while the Tribune labors to show th reason for continuing te to the scrutiny of the Legislature, If the Legislature in dealing with the tax levy confined itself to a revision of the ¢ mates avd appropriations, there would be « cor tain foree in the position of the Zridunc Mut every one familiar with Albany matters knows that it isin the tax levy that the jobbers and speculators who watch the closing hours of the slature always expect to introduce their emes, The State Constitution requires thut Lject riatter of every local bill shall be ex. pressed in the tide thereof; but it is held in practice that the comprehensive title of the tax levy wuthorizes the introduction of the most sweeping and radical changes in city government, And what is worst of all, Wiese changer, ss in the iustance under consideration, are often intro- duced in the most stealthy manner and without ‘cue word of notice to the partios most interested, A few years ago it was discovered, after the of the Tax Levy bill, that it contained a provision for the reorganization of the Croton Water Department, fortunately so bunglingly expressed ns to be inoperative.
