Tlie Three Great Farces of This ({evolutionary
Age.
What arc the leading characteristics of this
age ? This is a question to which many different
yet appropriate answers might he given.
Wo know ouly one answer which is at once
distinctive and exhaustive. It is the age of the
printing press, the steam engine and the electric
telegraph. Wc might put it in another
form, and say it is an age iu which all men
think, some, with greater, some wi'h less intensity;
some te greater, some to less purpose; in
which tho thoughts of thinkers ore common
and public property, and in which the mysterious
and mighty forces of nature are yoked
to the car of humanity. Men think now not in
x corner, in a cell or in a cave, but in the evo
and car of the world. Thoughts are not now
buried, as they once wore, for centuries; they
obtain prompt and immediate and universal
publicity, and the principal ogent3 in giving
efTec'. to thought in modern times are printing,
steam and electricity. These are at once the
types and the means of human progress in the
latter turn or the nineteenth century.
A natural and necessary result of this state
of things is that everything is at once conducted
on a more gigantic scale and brought to
a more speedy i?8ue. Witness our late civil war.
Witness Napoleon's Italian campaign. Witness
the receut struggle iu Germany. Questions
which in former times it required nges to ripen
now rush to maturity at once; and those which
it took years to settle are settled in as many
jays. Compared with the gigantic struggles
of modern times the wars of an earlier period
lege aerate into village rows; and a thirty
pears' war in any part of the world Where
modern forces are at work is no longer possible.
These thoughts are not without a certain
value as applied to the situaMon both in the
Old WorM and the New. Europe, at the present
moment, is evidently on the eve of a great
crisis. War may be spoken of a- an almost
ibsoluto certainty. We know not what a day
>r an hour may bring forth. This we do know:
ihat war. when it does break out, will be on a
rrander scale, an 1 will be Rhorter, sharper and
wore decisive than anything which we have
yet seen. Europe to-day is very different from
Europe iu the days of Wallenstein. of the
Great Frederick or even of the First Napoleon.
The iron road unit the pnfHng engine are everywhere.
Everywhere, too. i? seen the electric
wire, tremulous with passing thought. The
railway car has supplanted the slow and wasting
march; and what was done by the tardy
messenger is now done by the swift and well
trained lightning. Europe, therefore, may
have greater, but she cannot have such lasting
wars.
The same forces which have revolutionised
Europe are at work here. They have already
placed us in the front rank of the nation*, and
the time ia not distant when, directed by
Anglo-Saxon skill, they will give ua the command
of the entire American continent.
Mexico will come in and extend oar borders
to the South. Canada will come in with tts
Anglo-Saxon energy and increase at once onr
territory and the vital forces of the Union.
Spain must look out, for Cuba, already ours by
electric contact, mint soon be ours in fact The
West Indies and the South American States
will follow; nor will there be sny halting in
this triumphal career until the entire continent
ia sheltered beneath the folds of the Star
Spangled Banner. Is this mighty people?the
possessors of so mnch power, the destined inheritors
of so mnch fame and power?to he
subjected in their onwsrd march to the control
of the negro ? It mnst not be.
The Nifit la Rereoe.
Lloyd Garrison is not content with all that
has been done for and accomplished with the
aegro in the United States, where be has suddenly
attained almost a supremacy in political
rule, but continues to exhibit a "number of
disttngnished" colored gentlemen on the plat
forms ot anti-slavery conferences in Paris and
Manchester. These at tempt? to keep alive a
sort of sickly sentimentali?m iu foreign countries
in behalf of the American negro are mere
folly. There are, to be sure, a few old ladies'

Ths Natioit/il JnUKgencer make* a great
Am over President Johnson. and endeavors to ]
create the impression that it is the e?perial and
confidential organ ot his administraiion. At
the same time It is wholly in the interest of the
Treasury harpies, from whose money it derives
its support, and is in reality the organ of
Chase, McCulloch and the national banks. It
is nothing more than a spy in the Presidential
camp; and although Mr. Johnson seems ignorant
of the fact, it ia hostile to him and is
one of his mo?t insidious and dangerous
enemies.
Tbo removal of McCulloch from the Treasury
Department is absolutely necessary to the salvation
of the government. He is nothing more
than the successor of the policy of Chase, and
carries on the Department in the same old rut
dng out by his predecessor, his object being to
secure the election of Chase and the permanent
establishment oi the naUonal banks as a political
power in the government No greater misfortune
could befell the country. If we would
fully establish our credit at home and abroad,
and prepare the way for the payment at the
proper time of our national debt, it is abso
lately necessary that we should clear away all
the suspicions now attaching to the Treasury
Department, and satisfy the people that our
financial system rests npon a secnre, sound and
honest basis. The retention of McCulloch, to
be followed by the* election of Chase, would
defeat this object and prevent any investigation
into the past administration or the Department.
The country was never in a more prosperous
condition than at the present moment. Our
last financial exhibit from Washington shows
that we have over one hundred millions in
gold and over fifty millions in currency in the
Treasury, and that the revenue is coming in at
the rate of eight or ten millions a week. The
crops arc heavy all over the country, and will
serve to enliven trade and to materially increase
our income and our wealth. Wc can
pay our war debt in less than fifteen years,
without overtaxing the country, if we have a
properly organized, efficient and honest
Unsocial department. But in order to do so,
and to keep up the credit of our bonds, we
must have a complete clearing out of the
present Treasury forces, who are merely the
hangers on and heirs of the old Chase rtgime,
with all its gross corruption, incapacity and
indecency.
I'nUlna by the Cable.
The agents of the Associated Press in Europe
have undertaken to forward, under the garb of
news, to the New York journals, a series of
undisguised, nauseous puffs of certain articles
and implements of Auferieau manufacture
shown at the Paris Exhibition. By an ingenious
turn of "penny a line" Bohemian talent
they seek (o render their reports palatable
through the delusion that thov form records of
certain triumphs of American ingenuity and
national progress in mechanic0. We don't
want an}* more such stuff as this from any
source, and will not publish such trash in the
Hkimt.O.
The healthy development of American art
ana usctul appliance ot American invention
wc have always encouraged : hut the prostitution
of science by the use of the Atlantic tolograph
for the purpose of puffing ceriain speculator*.
patentees, inventors, or "new"machines
or other articles or implements meets our most
decided reprehension. We may next l?e called
on to notice the "talent" of some American
counterfeiter, who uses photography so as to
obtain the far simile of a genuine bank bill, or
the exertions of a coiner who gilds or silvers
his base metal by means of ealvani-tn.
We are sorry to find that the pen and Ink
corre?pondcnts of the press in Paris are
attempting to puff by mail. They had better
adhere to the old fashioned honesty of their
sy9lem and leave this work to the Associated
Press cable ra >n.

If any additional evidence were requisite to
prove that Old Tltad Stevens is a revolutionist,
it would be supplied bv his letter published in
yesterday's llsuiu). this letter he openly I
avows himself as a rerolutioiihnjby declaring
that'he and his sympathiz rs in Congress were
all acting outside of the constitution, which
they had repudiated, "else our whole w ork of
irVVIKIIUVHVI., r?vw'
Thad Stevens is, in tact, the Robespierre of the
revolution through which we arc pacing. He
1mh adopted the plan of the Jacobin party
which Robespierre led to condemn the King
and demand his death. Robespierre declined
his nomination as presiding judge of the revolutionary
tribunal which he caused to be
organized "for the summary trial of the enemies
of libertyanl Thad Stevens, although
from different motives, opposed the impeachment
of President Johnson. After the execution
of the King, Robespierre proposed the
decree investing the revolutionary tribunal
"with executive powers above the Convention."
He was elected a member of what was called
the committee of general security, an auxiliary
of the committee of public safety. Thad
Steven* did hi* best to transfer tbe executive
authority from the President of the United
States to Congress, and was the aonl of the
Reconstruction Committee, to which the policy
of Congress la due. ne would fain have made
that committee the ruling power of tbe land.
Briefly, be ie the American Robespierre. But
he is a clever Robespierre, a witty and good
tempered Robespierre, a Robespierre that we
can get along with, despite his pet theory of
"s mild confiscation," far better than with such
a Robespierre as either Wendell Phillips or
(ireeley or Sumner would make. wo or* Kind

We Again present to our readers full *nd
interesting particulars of the political contest
waged for the control of our municipal government
and for unrestrained power over the
city treasury. The party which has so long
blamelessly and defiantly squandered the
people's money is, at length, through the excluai
renews. and rapacity ot? a clique, headed
by Mayor Hoffman, Sweeny, Tweed 4 Co., in
the last throes of dissolution. It does not
require the spear of Ithuriel, nor even the
dagger of Jack the Giant Killer, to slay the
whole fell brood who have so long fattened on
the public treasury. The people have but to
waken up to the danger of the hour, and,
shaking off the apathy which has so long enchained
them, rally to the polls in November
and December next, and by their votes consign
to oblivion the last remnant of the corrupt
party that still struggles for an existence.
The citizens of New York will be more
than derelict to their duty if they fail
in this crisis. There never wan such an opportunity
presented for cleansing out the Angean
stable in the City Hall, which so stinks in the
nostrils of all honest and upright men. There
is an irreconcilable feud raging in the enemy's
camp. Like hungry bounds they are snarling
and quarrelling over the spoils. Here the old
axiom may well be applied, when rogues fall
out honest men come te their own. Among
the candidates suggested to the citizens of
New York for Mayor is one who stands
oat prominently in the light of an honest,
faithful and upright life, passed in our
miilaf Mr JaKii AniUrann fa lrnAvn f A
the great bulk of oar native born *M
adopted citizens. Hie past successful career,
without taint and without reproach, is
a guarantee that in his hands the present distracted
affairs of our municipal government
will be brought into order?that out of chaos
and darkness would be evoked light and harmony.
The people have but to will this, and
the end so long and so anxiously and yet so
hopelessly desired will be attained.
Inrrrase at Price Fighting lu Thin Country.
Ever since the highly respectable and fashionable
voters of the Fifih Congressional district
in this city sent a prize fighter to represent
them in Congress the fistic art has become an
institution in this countrv, and, among a certain
class, a qualification for political honors. The
decline of the prize ring in England at present
contrasts strangely with its pernicious increase
here, and a battered specimen of shoulder hitting
chivalry from the other side is received in
this city as a distinguished visitor or one identified
with the progre?s ot the age. The papers
teem with accounts of fights in which each
combatant endeavors to destroy every vestige
of humanity in his opponent's lace, and benefits
are held even in our theatres for the promotion
of this agreeable species of amusement.
Some of the rising generation emulate *the
glorious example of their fist beaten elders,
and the neighboring shores of New Jersey and
Long Island are infested with crowds of
-roughs" escoriiug stripling champions to
thvir trysting ground. Even the police, whom
the laws appoint as guardians of the peace,
are seized with the mania. Two stalwart
M tropolHins were discovered a few days
since by their sergeant making preparations for
a fistic encount-r acco-ding to the rules of the
prise ring. When the police thus take part in
this new. fashionable entert linment, an l mimic
encounters illustrating the -noble art" are
permitted at picnics and before the footlights,
its increase is not to be wondered at. At
some of our fashionable watering places
champions and ex-champions may be seen in
the most extravagant jewelry and dress, the
objects of admiration to a crowd of satellites
of that ilk. Whan those champions of the
arena congregate in the halls of the national
Legislature tne affairs of the country will be
conducted in a novel manner?similar, perhaps,
to the meeting of the Common Council in this
city last spring, when inkstands were used as
convincing arguments. In the event of real
war, however, those redoubtable champions
become singularly quiet, and their belligerent
qualities seem to be reduced to the lowest
possible standard. The rifle and sword do not
enter into tbeir calculations oxespt so far as
keeping out of the way, and a prize ring
champion makes a very poor appearance in a
churge, It w.ll l?e very difficult to check this
growing evil a* long a? prize fighters become
law makers, and the law* are either suspended
or leniently dealt out in fisticuff cases. Let
tbo-e who returned one of the confrat -rnltr to
Congress as England did Gully to Parliament,
imitate the example of the latter country and
never repeat the y'stake.

SPECIAL TELE6RAM TO THE HERALD.
W xsaurGToa, August 28, 1887.
Exaggerated It <> port a of a linptiire tlelween
the President nnd General Grant.
A rumor was put In circulstlon last night that General
Grant had refused to Issue the orders from the President,
and that in consequence of his refusal a rupture
had been occasioned hetw-en the President and General
Uraat that was Irreconcilable in its nature. The rumor
further stated that General Grant had addressed another
letter to the President, protesting against the promulgation
of the orders relieving Generals Hbnridan and
Sirxies In the form in which they came from the
Executive. This rumor has some foundation in
truth, but its general purport ie ,-really exaggerated.
That General Grant has refesed to issue the
orders of the President your correspondent has the
b&: authority for denying. The most positive proof that
such ts not the fact Is that one of the orders?that
relieving Gonoral Sickles?was published to-day, and it
was confidently expected that both would have appeared.
The order rell-vlng General Sheridan will doubtless be
published to-morrow.
It is true that General Grant yesterday addressed
to tbo President another communication, further
pruiwijug Hn,u*1 CAUVUl.UU Kfl IU? UIUW U4iyUIUK
General Hancock to relievo General Sheridan. and
Boggling whether or not such a coarse wis not in
contravention of the last Supplementary Reconstruction
law of CongTtae, confiding to the General-in-Chief of the
army the execution of the law. To tbie it is understood
the President has not replied in writing; but Gebcral
Grant to-d.vy bad an Interview witn the Preeident, when
It is believed the arguments of the iormer were considered.
The statement that Irrec oscilahle differences have
arisen between tne Executive and General t.rant is also ,
an exaggeration. General Grant, behaving ibat General |
Sheridan should not be removed from the command of
the Firth Military district, baa exerted b.mself to dissuade
the I'resi dent from taking such a step; but, finding
b.m fully determined to carry out bis design, he has I
yielded obedience to the Commander-in-Chief of the 1
army and nary under protest. There is certainly a dtfference
of opiaion between them, but that e rupture of
a eerious nature has occurred is not the caee. It ba<
been stated that fieneral Grant offered the second proteet
in tbe hop* that It wonid result in hie being relieved
from the duties of Secretary of War md interim, and that
he eipncts to be that reliesed within a few days. In w
gard lo this lUUMOi there art tho Tory beat reaion*
for wring thai the Idea of relieving General Grant from
hM poatUoa ta tho War Department until a permanent
occupant in found la not now, and baa norar boon eater
talned eince his assignment to that duty.
It la hollered by those wnoae opinions in the matter
are worthy of respect that General Grant baa too clear
an understanding of hia relations to the (locative to
eoaee to any hostile isaae with that branch of the govemaient
in referenoe to the eieeatlon of tho Reconstruction
laws. That. If the reconstruction lews vest la
the General-ia-<l>ier the peweni eeceomry for their execution,
they do net repeal the provisions of the cone tile
lion which amice the President commander of the forces
tho Geaeral-le-Chief moat ate to carry lhaaa lawn la to
affiKt. Whan It la remembered thai tha Geoeral-iaChief
of the army mnat obey the order* of the President
or resign, the absurdity of the wry that General Grant
baa rafoaed In annate lbs orders of tho President is apparent.

Malaa thai the new* by telegraph to day of the aedoe of

FROM THE EVENING TELE6IAM IF YESTEMAV.

ter la Kelntion cache Benevnlef BCMtee.
Washisgtow, August 28, 1898.
Those who are preramed to know the wtehee of the
Executive assert to-day that his desire is for an entirety
aew Cabinet, and that "no exceptions will be consistent
with that desire."
A determined onset is being made npea the Preeideai
by many newspapers to obtain tha publication of (ho
lei tor from General Grant protesting against the secession
or Mr. Stanton, and several correspondents have
riiiied the President with the same object in view. Tha
President bas replied tnat if General Grknt had nat
marked the letter in question "private" It would have
been given to the public as a portion of tbe correspondence
of General Sheridan; but as General Grant has not
yet informed the President that he desired the seal of
privacy to be removed, the President declines to give it
for publication. It is understood, however, that as eeow
as the injunction of privacy is removed the President
will let tbe letter come out.
THE CABINET MEETING ON TUESDAY.
[From the National Intelligencer (the President's organ),
August 28 )
We have high authority for sayiog that tho loose and
sensational rumors which were circulated, and whieh
were reflected in some degree In the papers of last evening,
about troubles in ibe Cabinet yesterday are unfounded.
Tho tact of one member of tbe Cabinet retiring
beforo the others most naturally bo of frequent occurrence.
That General Grant enme oat of tho white House
some time I*fore other gentlemen yesterday was to be
ascrilxd to his business habits, rather than to any farletcbed
and imaginary cause, when the session was
protracted nil toward tbe close of the business hours of
the day.
RELATIONS OF 6ENERAL GRANT WITH THE PRESIDENT.
[From the Washington Chronicle (republican). August 28. |
It 1* understood that General Grant is hourly expecting
an order from the President relieving him frutu bis ad
imrrim administration of tbe War Oiflce, and that be haa
Th? lollowtng information reaches us from a source
which we deem reliable:?Tbe friends of tbe fro*eminent,
howover, advise him to retain his posltiou as long
as possible, and to use his ntniost exertions to pre rent
farther mischief. It is said the President sees fit to
retain custody of General Grant's letter protesting
against the removal of Sorrotary Stanton,
and bays?" If Grant waot9 it made public let
him print it." Surmises regarding its content*
arc vain, but It is known that it contains
an urgent and earnest app?al to the President to listen
to tbe voice of the people, and In that particular as well
as others, is similar to the Sheridan letter. There is no
doubt but what the General Is impeding the promulgation
ol tbe Hancock order, and that bo repeated hie
protest against Its issue yesterday. Tho rapture between
h m and the President la culminating rapidly, sad
tbe result is neither difficult to predict nor far distent.
Genoral Grant will undoubtedly leave the Cabinet with.u
the coming wegk, or tbe President must bow to his demand.-.
for a modification of the Hancook order, lip to
tbe adjournment of the Cabinet meeting yesterday no
reply had Imeo received from the President to General
Grant's last protest, and it la surmised thai tbe only reply
whirh will be mad* will lie the assignment or nouie
other person to the charge of the War Ofll e.
