Grant is that of Mr. Tomas Bippie of Philadelphia as Consul-General at Havana, If there is any ronsulate in the world that requires extraor- dinary sense and judgment, it is that at Havana; and Mr. Bipp.e is by nature desti- tute of these qualities to a degree unusual even among the first families of Philadelphia. However, Gen. Grant appointed him, and the good-natured Senate confirmed the ap- pointment; and for some time past Mr. Bipvtx has been as much lost in Havana as a blind man in o village of prairie dogs. The despatches ho has sent to the State De- partment must have been astonishing, and we dare ‘say they have tasked to the utmost the mind of the Hon, Hamimron Freu, A epecimen of their contents is afforded in the following summary which appeared on Saturday asa telegram in the Evening Post : Wasmworon, April 16.—Despatches received at the State Department from our Consuls in Cuba © in representing that the active part of the tn- Furrection ix at an end, although there is a laree force of insurgents scattered over the island, with arms du their hands. It will be impossible to eubdue them for years to come. Daily average dur- previous week, ending April 9, Cubans lave commenced the wholesale de- ruction of property, and do not make any distine- Gon b ween that Belonging to (tends and foes, but ike, e Cubans profess great confidence in their ability, when the sickly season begins, to regain thit they have lost during the past vear; but @ Professions. are received by suthoritien with ¥ doubts and degrees of allowance, In furnishing this intelligence for publica- tion, Mr. Fisit does not do Mr. Brppix the credit of attaching his name to it ; but as all the Consuls and consular agents in Cuba re- port throngh the Consul-General, we cannot err in attributing to Bipb.e the news which the State Department thus puts forth. The Consuls are not, however, the only sources from which the Consul-General derives his wisdom, He goes partly on their reports and partly on those which the Spanish officials prepare for the Captain-General, How true the latter are is already known; bnt the public do not yet understand how much the Consuls are to be relied on, The fact is that, with the exeeption of Mr. Han at Ma- tanzas, they do not make reports which can habitually be trusted. They are engaged in trade, either on their own account or as clerks in commercial houses, If they should report the whole truth about the revolution to Mr. Bippi.n, they would not only be sure to lose their clerkships—for no employer would dare harbor them—but they would, Ike poor Mr. Purtiirrs at Santiago, have to flee for their lives. Besides, if they reported the truth, Mr. Bropre would be likely to confuse and distort it from sheer incapacity to understand ; leaving out of view the fact that the Spaniards by whom he is surround- ed—nnd who in Washington are able to out- wit the intellect of the Hon, Hamimron Fisi—would doubtless be able to d Mr, Bipp.e to just such conclusions as they might desire, And yet, strange to say, the truth breaks out in 8 of cvery attempt to suppress it ; and Mr, Fisn’s summary of Mr, Bippie’s despatches affords conclusive evidence at vnce of Bipp.e's own want of brains, and of the invincible power of the revolution. For Instanee, he reports that “ the active part of the insurrection is at an end ;” and yet it is bot is that the hospitals of Cienfuegos and Nr sare now eo overfilled that the wounded «tobe brought on to Havana, Were wounds which the overworked Bons on the flelds of batie and in the he Quarters at ¢ nd Nuevitas were wual! the late arrivals of wou «come into Havana with their Wounds wnadressed—were these wounds in- fl ly the juasiee part of the insurree. tin?

The existing system of leaving our tax levies to the Legislature is productive of nothing but public robbery and corrap- tion, It destroys all responsibility for our public burdeng, and enables the men who rule and plunder this unfortunate people to do their work without any danger of being called to account. The original estimates for the city and county tax levies kre usually taken to Al- bany in January, shortly after the opening of the session. They are kept there in per- fect secrecy till near its end; and mean- while they are manipulated and doctored by those who have an interest in making them rich and productive, Ingenious devices to confer power and pelf on the favorites of the Ring are insertod in them; swindles preg- nant with wealth to individuals are hidden in the apparent vagueness of skilful ver biage ; and at last, just on the eve of the ad. journment, the iniquity is produced in the Legislature and rushed through undgr whip and spur. No opportunity is given to examine and amend the provisions of the bills, Their passage is necessary, and delay ia impossible, The instant they are passed the Legislature adjourns, so that the Gov- ernor must either veto the bills and stop the wheels of our city government, or else he must sign them, and sanction every fraud that they contain, Thus they are forced throngh, without responsibility anywhere, because no one can say whether it be the Supervisors who framed the first estimates, or the Comptroller and Mayor through whoso hands they have passed, or the Legislative Committees in whose custody they have been transformed, that are answerable for the various features of the acts as they finally appear before tho public. Now all this would be altered if the duty of fixing and determining the amount of our taxation were left with the Supervisors as in other counties. Then we should know who had done it, when it was done ; and then no such rascality would be possible as is con- tained in the following section of the county tax levy that isto be brought forward in the Assembly to-morrow ; “All linbilities against the county of New York incurred previous to the passage of this act shall be audited by the Mayor, Comptrolier, apd present President of the Board of Supervisors, and the amounts waich are found to be due aliall be pro- vided for by issue of revenno bonds of the county of New York payable duriug the year 1871, and the Board of Supervisors shail inelnde in the ordinance levying the taxes for the year 1871 an amount sum cient to pay raid bonds and the interest thereon Sach claims shalt be paid by the Comptroller to the party or parties entitled to receive the same, upon the certificate of the oficers named herein, Here is a proposal to give three men the power to add millions to the debt of this city, without any check or restraint. These three men can pay the million that the pas- sage of the TWEED charter cost, and nobody can know the reason why; they may give millions away to their favorites, and the people will have no power to prevent it. A more enormous abuse of legislative authority than this proposition contains was never heard of, and yet it is a fair specimen of the villany that constantly lurks in our tax levies as they are managed at Albany. The attempt of Mr. LitrLEyonn to stop this sort of business, and refer the subject back to the Supervisors, the immediate representatives of the people who have to pay the taxes, was defeated; but we can never have honest government in New York until it is the law. Besides, it is the only system that is truly democratic ; and for that reason it should be adopted, es A Queer Juggle—Who can Explain it? When the new election law for this city was passed through the two housca of the Legislature, its twenty-second section was in the words following: * All inspectors of election and poll elorks for any election, until the inspectors and poll clerks ere provided for sill be elected or appointed, shall be appoiuted a8 now provided by law." So the law was passed; and everybody understood that it gave to the Police Com- missioners the power to appoint the inspec- tors, poll clerks, and canvassers for the elec- tion of May 17. But this belief was shaken by the appearance here of printed copies of the law in pamphlet form, supplied, as wo have learned, by that virtuous Democrat, the Hon. ALEXANDER Frean, just appointed by the Hon, A. O'HALL asa Com- missioner of Charities and Correction, in which place his vigorous honesty and incor. ruptible luve of public economy will shine like the morning star, In these pamphlets the twenty-second section was expressed as follows All Inspectors of eleetion and poll clerks for any election, until the inspeciors and poll clerks here provi e elected oF appoluted, shall be Appointed by the Mayor of the city of New York.” Coming from so virtuous a man as Mr, Frean, this was rather a stunner; but when, on referring to the Transcript of April 8, the law was found to be printed thero just as in Mr. Frean’s pamphlet, it was impossible to doubt any longer. For the Transcript is an official organ, and arich one at that, It is owned by Boss Twrep, Squire Sweeny, the Ion, J. B. Tayron of the Dull Times, and one or two others; and it clears several hundred thousand dollars a year by daily a few hundred copies contain: Jaws relating to the city, and the nizon Couneil proceedings, When any- ing of this sort appears in the Transcript, « just as Boss TWEED desires to lave it; and accordingly its version of the election law was universally relied upon ; and every one was convinced that though the law was different when it was ‘passed, it had Lecu altered in engrossing go as to read as the Transoript gave it It seems, however, that this was an error. We have sent to the office of the Sccretary of State, and ascertained, from examining the net as it ison file there, that the Police Com- missioners and not the Mayor will have the appointment of the inepectors, canvassers, and poll clerks, For the sake of the en- grossing clerks of the Legielature we aro glad to certify that the law stands as it was passed, As for the honesty of the election, it makes very little If any difference. But low did it Lavven that both ALeck Frean and Boss Twemp primted this law with such @ strange departure from the trath ? ee ‘The Coming Winnipeg War. There are two influences underneath the Winnipeg revolution which have not been fully uncovered to the public observation. Firet in order of impulse, if not in order of strength, was the discontent of the Canadian factors of the Hudson’s Bay Company with the provisions of the sale of the Company's proprietary rights to the new Dominion Government. The price stipalated was £300,000 sterling. This money was to go wholly to the Company's shareholders resi- dent in England, The Canadian factors Were not to have a farthing of it, The aale of tho Hudson's Bay Company's property threat- ened all the Company’s servants with loss of employment and social consideration, and opened to every man of them the door of a dark future, They grasped to save somo advantage out of the sale. They demanded grants of land, Here camo in the second influence—the old teligious contest Letween the Canadian Catholics and Protestants. ‘The employees of the Hudson's Bay Company are mostly Catho- lics, The Governor, McTavtet, is of the sane faith, and has a Catholic half-breed for a wife at Hudson's Bay, Ademand was soon framed and pressed with strength for large territorial grants for the factors of the Com- pany aud for the Catholic Church. Soon they demanded the exclusion of Protestants from politics and property in the Winnipeg valley and the Northwest Territory, The refugees from the Red River are Protestants. Rex and those acting with him are Catho- lics. The man whom Rrex executed was a Protestant. Indeed, the whole difficulty at Fort Garry is a transfer to a rough and law- less scene of the chronie discord between the French Catholics and the English Protestants in Canada, incited and aggravated by the factors of the diesolved Hudson's Bay Com- pany, who thought that by making common cause with the French element they could get possession of great tracts of the rich land in the Winnipeg valley and on the Assini- boine and the Saskatchewan. It is the re- ligious character of the quarrel which gives it ite bitterness and fierceness. And, if tie new Republic of Assiniboine goos down this spring, it will be because the French Catholic power in the new Dominion has made an issue of force with the English Protestant power, Fraudulent Assessments—Another Swin- die in the Tax Levy. Sectious 28, 29, and 80 of the tax levy now pending before the Legislature, provide for legalizing fraudulent assessments. Bills identical with these sections were intro- duced early in the session, and met with such universal condemnation that no one has pre- sumed to urge their passage. And now they are to be smuggled through in the tax levy. It will be a poor commentary on Demo- cratic promises of reform if the party should now go to work to upset the decisions of the Supreme Court and impose illegal burdens upon innocent persons. No party can jue tify itself for such action, and we call upon all the honest men in the Legislature, Dem. ocrats and Republicans alile, to protect the people from such oppression, If these sections of the tax levy should bo passed without amendment, their operation would extend backward over many years, and their consequences would be felt far aud wide, nee enty-six” is the number of the last batch of repentant insurgents who are said to have surrendered themselves to the Spanish authorities in Cuba, These last converts from the tyranny of the patriots to the clemency of Spanish rule are said to have come from the dis- trict of Caunao, a hilly region a few miles north- west of Puerto Principe. General Joapan’s headquarters are stated to be at Magarabomba, a village in this Caunao di twict, and om the road between Santo Espiritu and Principe, It ems strange that rebels who had held out so long, and who are now fur- ther protected by the neighborhood of the large body of well-armed patriots in the immediate command of the General-in-Chief, should at this fate hour change their minds as to the justice or probable success of the Cuban causi From late Spanish official accounts they must have incurred, however, no small risk in surren- dering themselves; nor, according to other re- ports from the same sources, are these risks ter- minated even when within the Spanish lines. The Diario dela Marina of the 8d inst. states that “two repentant rebels were, on the 28th ultimo, when on the road to surrender themselves in Puerto Principe, shot by « Spanish outpost.’ This hoppened four days after the proclamation was issued by Gen, De Ropas, in this same Puerto Principe, in which free pardon and a guarantee that their lives should be spared were offered to all who should surrender, From a newspaper of Trinidad we learn that @ small batch of thirty, whose surrender had been accepted at that place, were subsequently shot on a trumped-up charge of a conspiracy, investigated, of course, by a drum- head court martial, Considering the impolitic manner in which the Spanish commanders fulfil the promises held out to patriots convinced of the errors of their ways, these duily accounts of parties presenting them- selves are almost too heavy atax on our credulity, Again, the news of these surrenders is deemed of sufficient importance to telegraph to the world, through a cable which maintains a pain ful silence on the really important matters of battles; for tie results of these battles can only be surmised by the fearfully numerous arrivals of late of wounded-—with their wounds still undressed—in the Havana hospitals, and by the further fact that the Spanish Government prohibits all men- tion of them in either the Havana newspapers or the cable telegrams to this country. ——— = Goy. JEwELL of Connecticut is getting a good deal of praise for bis energy and success in stopping @ prize fight that some New York roughs had arranged to hold on one of the islands under bis rule. This praise is well deserved but the gratitude of this community toward the Governor is considerably diminished by the fact that many of the parties have got out of his grip, and are now in New York again, If Conneeti- cut had put them all in State's Prison and kept thom there for the next five years, our obligations would have beem much increased, ————-—— The people of tho United States and the people of Canada are invited to send delegates to a Convention which will be held at Niagara Falls on the Fourth of July next, to see about annexing the two countries to each other, One delegate from each Congress district of the Uni- ted States, and one delegate from each hundred thousand inhabitants of the British Provinces, will constitute the Convention, The eall is put forth by Ameaicus T, Wison of Washington, Louis Moxtacue of Quobec, and Cuanues 8. # Donatosus of Toronto, They say that, “as a striking illustration of the purpose of the Com vention, the old ship Monarchy—dismantled, with bulwarks steve in, despoiled of its ornaments end gilding, and making » complete wreck—will bo sent over the Falls, to be dashed to pieees on the eternal rocks of Hberty beneath, Other new and striking republican aud political spectacles will be presented, intended to ‘vanifest and insure o fraternal feeling, and encourage the speedy, union of the two kindred countries.” This sort of fhney Tangunge lepds to the belief that the proposed Convention cannot amount to anything, Some friends of Cuba have wisely thought fit to republish in Euglish the eddross of the Cuban traitor Navonwon Anand, self-styled Gen- eral, although he never was in the patriot arm ‘The Spaniards only murdered the brother of this man, when he went to Puerto Principe under ‘4 flag of truce—a noble death compared with the degradation of the traitor’s life—and he is made to write addresses by which he trusts his country- men may be deceived, and to place ambushes in which heshopes they may be slaughtered. The address, however, is so clearly only the discharge of the venom of disappointed ambition, that its perusal cannot fail to benefit the patriot cause here, as it has done in Cuba, The Cubans have done well to circulate it. ———— The Herald reports that the Hon, Gronae M. Roi is gotting tired of being nominal Secretary of the Navy, and wants to go home to New Jersey, If this is true, it affords another sign of native good sense on the part of Mr. Romesox. Why should he be willing to stay in a place for which he is not fitted, to which he has no right, and where he must put up with the restless dictation of Admiral Porter? He will do ® much bitter thing to return to the fascina- tions of Camden, and sot to work in earnest to convert New Jersey into a Republican State. ——— Ifanybody is disposed to think the revolt of the Young Democracy has been in vain, let him peruse the fifteenth section of the pending chy tax levy. It reads as follow “No street, ae, OF pul jo"piace in the city of New York, which has been once paved and the ex- nses thereof paid for by the owners of the adjoin ing property by assessment, shail he with any pat tioned for bt oaftor be paved it or special pavement, unless peti- majority of the owners of the proper- the proposed lmprovement, nor un- or ordinance of the Common i ig, the suave shall be epproved by the Mayor; any ordinance or resolution heretofore rt seed for any patent or special pavement, which lias not been anoroved by the Mayor, or the work petitioned for by a majority of the owners of the ad- Jolving property to be effected, and for which no Comtruet bas been made, is beruby declared to be in- operative and vo Would the millionaires of the Rivg ever have granted anything of this sort to the people if they had not been forced to it by the gallant onset of the Young Democrats, backed by the flaming ex- posures of the independent press? —_ The Presse affirms that the murderer Prenne Bowaranre actually sailed from Havre for the United States, while the Zappel announces that he has gone to the Ardennes on # shooting expedition, Since the American Consul at Havre would have protested against the shipment of such a criminal, it is notlikely that he intended to embark at that port. It is more probable that he betook himself to the Ardennes, where he would be i congenial company among the wild beasts of the mountain, a Is the business of the country falling off ? It is pretty dull here in New York just now, but let us look at the figures. The aggregate amount of the taxes on sales collected by the Internal Revenue Department from June 30, 1868, to Feb, 28, 1869, was $5,624,744. The amount collected from June 30, 1869, to Feb, 28, 1870, was 86,169,688, This is an increase of 93¢ per cent, for the eight months of the present fiscal year over the previous year, and this, too, with gold and values steadily declining. This seems to prove that notwithstanding local and tempo- rary dullness, trade not only keeps up, but gains largely as time rolls on.
