When the people besfitl to r taxes are reducedythey will begin to believe that unnecessary expendi- tures have been cut off, and not till then. en when that auspicious hour arrives they will be apt to attribute this reform more to thelr own ¥eherient outerles for relief, backed by the reiterated demands of the in- dependent press, than to the Administra. tion's financial skill or trenchinent. The public debt has been reduced, as it certainly ouglt to be in view of the enor mous surplus in the Treasury, drawn from the pockets of the people by an exorbitant and remorseless systom of Wxation. both the debt and the taxes are reduced, the public will begin to feel that the plan now pursued is not merely a new application of the old scheme of robbing Peter to pay The reduction of the debt, too, shows rather larger on paper than in fact; and the credit of all the really valuable results in this behalf is due very much to Mr. Bour- WELL, and not at all to Gen, GRANT. But, after all, one of the most marked and disastrous failures of the Administration, in its effect upon the Republican party, and upon Gen, GXant personal: his distribution of official patronage. From the members of his Cabinet and his foreign ministers all the way down to the very tax collectors and tide waiters, no President ever made so many weak, viewed from a party standpoint, utterly worthless appointments The great majority of them impart neither dignity nor strength to the President, his Administration, or tho Republican organization, while many of them Lring ail three into disrepute, always disgraceful ; his official etaff.

Paradoxical os it may seem, the supposed defects have their origin mainly in what eliould be the great sources of safety to the business; and most of them may be traced tothe large profits heretofore realized. The remarkable suceces of the carly estab. lished and well conducted mutual life com panies has led to so rapid an increase, that out of fifty-two companies doing business in this city in 1868, only seventeen were organized prior to 1800. ‘This multiplication of companics has necesmnrily given rise ton large growth of Dusiness, and great rivalry in obtaining it. And on account of the strife for patron. age, and various other reasons, the in. sured will be fortunate if the elements of decay that have entered into the management of some companies do not reach and seriously affect the value and safety of their policies. The subject may be discussed without haste, a8 there is no immediate danger. Life insurance companies may live and continue to pay losses for a long time after they become really insolvent. We wish we could hope or expect that the Committee reterred to will discover what defects may exist in the present system, and recommend suitable remedies, It is, however, quite unlikely that it will, and the duty will probably be left to the press, — Tho belted knights at Ottawa would ap- pear to be receiving a good belting from the independent and opposition members of the Mouse of Commons, The bacchunalian Prem is plainly told by Sir A. T. Gare that the affairs of the country are in about as bad a condition a they could be, and that the only remedy is a speedy change of Governwent, as well as a radi- cal change of policy. He says the union of the Provinces has utterly fuiled to realize the expee tions of the people, and that the fuuli lies at th door of his former colleagues ; that their botching and bungling management of confederation, the Totereolonial Railway, the finances, the trade relations, and the internal affairs of the country generally, during the past few years, has all tended to alienate the people; and that unless these criminal errors be speedily corrected, the loyal provincials will “ go for annexation,” with- out stopping for even a decade at the independence half-way house, This we do not doubt. The an- nexationists, moreover, are not to be diverted from their purpose by state bulls and princely exhibitions, or taunts of disloyalty, The Cana- dinns are fast growing sensible. In fact, two more yoars of such teaching from expel will fit them for independent self-government, which means the abandonment of pretentious ideas generally, and a practical sppliction of a fair amount of ordinary common sense to the ordinary affairs of lif = sae aan An interesting debate recently took plac in the House of Commons on the consular, and incidentally also on the diplomatic service, in th course of which one of the members exprossed the opinion that diplomatic missions could be altogether abolished in Western Europe without affecting the friendliness und activity of inter- national relations, Unquestionably this is true, and tho abolition of such useless missions must come very soon. ‘The attempt to tax the masses of the people for the purpose of giving to a handful of men and nee women an opportunity of living like funkoys a the public expense, i as repulsive to the com- mon sense of John Bull as to that of Brother Jouathan, At ihe present moment, for iustance, t Lisbon, What need is there to fill it, except to give Gen, Grant an opportu y to exercise the regal pr there is a vac loge of making a useless appointment For some time past there has not beew a Vortu guese Minister at Washington, but only a Chargé who officiates alco as Consul-General at New York.

Wasuixeton, March 4—Whoover will tako the pains to examine with care the testimony before the Committee charged with investigating the gold pante of September last, will see that in spite of all the whitewashing endeavors of the Chairman and his assistants, the convenient me- mories of some of the interested witnesses, and the disappeuranee of the most important part of the Grant family correspondence, there is much that is mysterious, suspicions, and damaging to the occupants of the White House, male and fe- male, Itis demonstrated beyond all doubt that they knew @ large speculation was on foot, and that they were to benefit by it, at least partially. Mr. Corbin did not suceved in covering up those tracks, with all his artful and evasive answers, and with all his desire to be reinstated in the graces of tho Presidential household, where he Jost caste for having been detected in his sharp operations, The refusal of Gen. Grant and his wife and sister to make any statement before the Committee may be considered very politic in some quarters; but with reflecting people, the failure to explain satisfactorily the transactions with Corbin and Company cannot bat leave a bad impression, especially after the mercenary incli- nations which have been so painfully evident in those quarters, It is no secret here or elsewhere in well in- formed circles that the President has received at loast a quarter of a million of dollars in the form of substantial presents, to say nothing of the stocks in speculative enterprises which have been donated to him and his staff to secure their favor. An inquiry of this kind, if fully answered, would disclose some interesting information. A curious fact is current in these parts, which illustrates the general practice and principles of those bigh in authority, It is stated that a brother of the President not very long ago had a note discounted atone of the national banks in New York, which happened to be the depository of the U.S. consular fund, That note was not when duc, and therefore the usual notice was iasucd. The peison ‘concerned came to Woshington, made his statement, and the note was paid; but the consular deposits were imme- diately afterward transferred to the banker Selig- a favorite with Gen, Butterfield and at the House. For what reason this change was made some people will uot be at a loss to imagine. ‘That is the way business is now done in Wash- ington, ‘That virtuous patriot, Mr. Pomeroy of Kansas, who reports ali the magnificent railroad jobs and other fat things, is very much concerned about temperance in tois community, just as be is exercised about “suffering humanity” wheu- ever it can be made profitable, That Senator cannot be ignorant of what everybody elac itled to the privilege of veuti lating these cheap shams without criticism, Al though spirituous liquors are prohibited for sale at the Cupitol, it is notorious that they are daily sold in large quantities at the restaurants of both the Senate and the House, right under the eyes ot Mr. Pomeroy and the professea ctiampions of temperan knows, nor is be e, sone of wh oevasionally, seeking consolation for their Con- gressiovai sufferings, The only diference be- tween those restaurants and the ordinary taverns is, that strong driuks are rved by the former inchina mugs instead of tumblers.

Bach, whose mind was eminently devotional, and who sought to do for the Protostant Church tho fame service that Haydn and Mozart rendered to the Catholic, wrote reveral of these passions; but two of them, however, have been printod, that “according to St. John,” ond the one now publised by Ditson, “according to St. Matthew." At the time that this one was written, Bach was the cantor of St. Thomas's school, aud hal direvtion of tle music at the churches of St. Nicholas and St Thomas, where it was sung. The text used iv that found in the 2th and %th chapters of St, Matthew, These words, however, are not strictly followed, for running through the whole work is a series of mu- sical monolognes, consisting of earnest and devo- tional reflections on the circum stances of the Pas. sion, resembling slightly some of the ancient hynins of the Catholic Church, such as the Stabat Mater Interwoven with these are the noble choruls of the Reformed German Chureb, The work was very fully scored, being for two complete choirs, consist ing of soloists, orchestra, and chorus, The translation that Mr. Dwicht bas made is one of croatexcellenee. He has prevested the simplicity and homeliness of the German original from sinkiig in his translation into feebleaess or triviality, and yet at the same tue he has been extremely fuitlfu to the text. There are fow men who possess Ue doable qualification of thorouzh musical knowledge and high literary avility and taste that are requisite to one who undertakes to ally two hundred pases of Printed music to fitting words. It is au{ameme task, and requires great patience and tact and va- ried ability, especially where, as in this instance, the version isa rhymed one, Mr, Dwight has ac complished the labor of translation in the true spirit of the orizinal, with reverence for the composer, and deep and earnest respect for the work.
