Tuomas was alive, the Republicans had a sure candidate for the election of 1872. No other man could have beaten him. The masses of the people were for him ; the Radicals honored and trusted him, and the Conservatives would have ral- lied around him with enthusiasm, His nom- ination would have been equivalent to his election, Since the death of this great man, the be- wildered leaders of the Republican party have been vainly scanning the roll of their Presidential aspirants for a name to fill the place made void by the fallof Tuomas. The Jist has become hackneyed and stale, and ‘bears the name of no statesman who has any such hold upon the confidence of the people ns the crisis demands. Some shallow politi- cians believe that GRANT will be taken ; but no disinterested person with sense in his noddle supposes that @RANT can be available. Gen. Gnanr himself, of course, does not think anything is the matter with his prospects ; and what dispenser of patronage, breathing the incense of adulation, ever could be made to sce that his réle was played out, till the fall of the remorselces curtain shut out all hope for the future? FRANKLIN Prence, rather a shrewd politician, aud not over san- guine, could not be made to believe that the Democracy were not going to renominate Lim until the telegraph told him that his vote in the Cincinnati Convention had dwindled down to 4}. The flattery of offic holders and office-beygers has addled braius & great deal larger and clearer than GRANT'S. In this condition of affkirs,a singular change is coming over the minds of the more intelligent and prudent members of the Re. publican party, Vhey are turning ther eyes back to their ancient champion, SALMON P. Cuase! For a year or two past Chief Jus tice CnAsk has been counted as a Democrat In the impeachment of ANDREW JoINsoN he broke with the extreme Radicals, and there. by did the Republican party a service which all sensible men among them will now ac- knowledge. But this does not constitute the reason why thoughtful Republicans are led to inquire whether it would not be better to make friends with Judge CHase once again, with a view to ranning Lim for President in 1872. The fact is, that on the essential doc tring of Republicanism, as it stands to day, there is no man in the country pounder than Judge Cuase. He is a Republican, and not a Democrat. We mean, of course, the great principle of uni versal suffrage as set forth in the Fifteenth Amendment. Opposition to that principle ® considerable body of clamorous, stupid old Bourbons, who have nicknamed them. selves Democrats, propose to make the main issue in the next Presidential campaign ; and who go fit to lead the Republicans in such a fight as Sao P. Cuase? But even this does not constitute the most powerful among the motives which are lead ing #0 many intelligent Republicans to look to the Chief Justice as a possible candidate for 1872. The great reason is that Judge CuasE can certainly be eleckd. This renders the movement we are speaking of one of the most interesting ever developed in pr political history. It may not result in actual nomination of the Chief Justice by e Republican party, because there are plen. of Bourbons in that organization as well as among the Democracy, But it affords a most impressive illustration of the present rather chaotic state of politics among us, and of the scarcity of commanding talent and popular availability, that any number of Re: publicans should perceive that they cannot possibly be so safe with any other candidate as with the Chief Justice, — - Shearing the Board of Supervisors. The disclosures of the City aud County Tax Levy bills bear testimony to the dis. comfiture the Ring politicians recei: last winter at the hands of the gallant Young Democracy in Albany. It is of course woll understood that the Tammany leaders would never have abandoned the Board of Super- visors unless they had been compelled to do so. Bold Harry Gener made his most de- termined thrusta against that organization ; and when the Hon, Wiriiam M, p consented to the abolition of the Board, he was merely making a virtue of necessity. The Board, as it has been constituted of late years, las been nothing but a machine in the hands of the Ring. Butnow that it has been abolished, to give place to another organization, of the plia. bility of which Tammany Hall is not 60 cer tain, behold the alacrity of the city’s keep ers in stripping the new Board of all power in advance, and confurring the opportunities for private advantage or partisan good in other directions, For instance, the new Court House, which has furnished such fat pickings for years to the favored members of the old Board, is now committed to the care ofa special Board of Commissioners, to be appointed by tho Mayor, These Commis. sionors arc required to complete the building ata cost not exceeding $600,000 ; but does snybody suppose Uuas it will be sempieted at anything like thet cost? This is simply o little gentle bumbug to cover the skilful dodge by which the Ring retains ¢ontrol of this rich placer. Again, the old Board excreised certain supervision over the tax lists, and found it a profitable business to remit or re- duce taxes under some circumstances. This authority could not well be left to the discretion of those whom the Ring know not, and possibly to the disadvantage of that public-spirited combination. And therefore, hid away in the depths of the tax lovy, we find @ provision transferring the authority to the Commissioners of Taxes and Assessments, one of the recently com- pleted Ring machines, to which is added a new member to make its control more so- cure. But perhaps the funniest feature of tho tax levy is the provision creating a Board of Auditors of county accounts, consisting of the Mayor, Comptroller, and present Presi- dent of the Board of Supervisors, Why the present President? He mry not be ® mem- Der of the new Board; may not hold any pub- lic office when his present term expires. If the Dill means that WALTER Rocur shall be a member of this new Auditing Board, why does it not say so? What connection has the present President of the Board of Supervisors with the future Board? Did the Ring fear the introduction of one strange man into a Board the other two members of which are already willing instruments in its hands? The Hon. WititAM M. Twrep made some enemies last fall by his injudicious appoint- ment, through the Board of Supervisors, of & majority of Republicans as clerks of the Police and District Courts. He now takes from the new Supervisors the appointment of court attendants, excopt in theso particu- lar courts, and confers it upon the Comp- troller, who also has authority to fix their compensation. This would indicate a fear that the Young Democracy might not follow the example of the great Tammany leader, and pay off Republican debts ‘with offices. Therefore the offices muct be kept within control to be doled out where they will. pay the Ring the best. Altogether it will be seen that the Ring manifest an unmistakable dread of the new Board of Supervisors, and have taken time by the forelock to strip it of power, and re- tain its patronage and pickings within the grasp of those who have so long ruled the city and county of New York. pre Maite The Tariff No Issue. Certain soft headed politicians are trying to persuade themselves and the public that the next great Presidential issue will be that of protection against free trade. There are two good and sufficiout reasons why this cannot be so. In the first place, the people at large take no sort of interest in the proposed issue. The Tribune itself, which has of late been work- ing vigorously to create a popular feeling in favor of protection, is. now forced to the fol- lowing confession ; * The dniiness of debate on the Tariff b that general interest ts no longer felt in it, {o all intents ‘and purposes it As & Then why not abandon it Secondly, we have a national debt of '2,400,000,000, the interest on which is 120,000,000 gold annually. In addition we have an expensive Administration to support. The nation requires to meet its oblig: tions an income of $300,000,000 at least. indicates wnd th: lost measure. Shall this be raised by internal taxes or customs duties? Which the peo- ple prefer is no doubful question. They emphatically hate the former and submit patiently to the latter. Therefore we must, whether we are free-traders or protectionist levy on the avevige from forty to fifty per cent. on all imported goods. anecessity which for many years to come can- not be avoided or changed, what nonsense | to suppose that there can be any popular ‘That being agitation or excitement on the subject of pro- tection and free trade! a The two tickets for Judges of the Court of Appeals are as follows; DEMOCRATS, MEPUMLICANS. Chief Justice. Chief Justice. Sanford E.CLureh, Orleans, Henry R. Selden, Monroe. Aseoctate Justices. Associate Justices, Of the Democratic candidates we bave already expressed our opinion. The Republican ticket, though by no means as strong as might hav been made, is a fair one, But some of its nom noes are better known as statesmen and juliti- cians than as jurists or lawyers, Judges Saupry and Mason have won distinction on the bench ; but Messrs. Forcer and Hace are more familiar to the people as able legislators than as eming;,; practitioners at the bar, They have only been county judges, aud never stood predminent in the forum of the higher courts. Mr, Axprews holds a respectable place among the lawycrs of the central counties. It is an intercetlng fact that Mr, Cuurcn and Mr, Senpen now are, or lately were, partners in busivess in Rochester. The legal weight of the two tickets is about the same, and both are remarkable es containing more shrewd politicians than profound lawyers. Such being the case, the result of the election may be taken asa tolerable test of the relative strength of the two parties petite nee antl Whom docs the Hoa, Hamitron Fis recognize in Cuba? We presume our representa- tive there is accredited to somebody who is sup- posed to be responsible for the execution of treaty stipulations, We merely ask for information, The question arises from the confessigns of all the Spanish au- thorities who have lately been appealed to by our Consuls for the protection of American citizens, that they are utterly unable to protect them.

The communication, it will be seen, is that of a friend of Mrs. Wasnevay, and it is to be presumed, in reading it, that the officers of the Bible Society have also, on their part, reasons for tak- ing the course they do which seem to them good and sufficient.
