9 TORRIGN MAIL GLEANINGS. LISH VIEW 8 THE PRESIDENTS AN ENG AN ENGLISH VIEW OF Til QTAROLFEN LS MESSAGE. THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON—THE RECALL OF M. CAT \CAZY—FREE TRADE HOPES. From The London Tunes of Dec. 8 President Grant is fortunate in the external sreumstances of the Republic, fortunate as respeots ita internal condition, fortunate, also. as we have lately had occasion to remark, in his own person, in being able to Jook forward with mething like moral certainty to his peélection ae President. The nation approves his past conduct of their affairs, and is prepared to ac cept his guidance in the futare, The composi tion of the two Honses of Congress affords a reasonable presumption that the legislation he recommends in his Message will be sup ported when hronebt before them. The vote for the ex i of the Commission appointed under the Treaty of ashington may he exnected from the Honse of Repre sentatives without a dissentient voice, and we may an ticipate with eqnal certainty the legislative completion of the agreement to pay the Dominion of Canada the sum which mav he determined to be due to itin respret of the adm «lon to ita fisheries of the fishermen of the Rates, The administrative measures rendered neces cary hy the Treaty have already, as we know, made considerable progress, The Court of Arbitration will shortly meet, and the Commission of Claims {8 already In session. The President tells Con gress, moreover, a fact which had not yet been made public on this side of the Atfantic, that the two Governments are now engaged io drawing up the Jolut pote bringing before the attention of foreign Powers the principles of pnblie law admitted by the Treaty, and recommending these principles to their con sideration and adoption. The mathematical problem defining the true position of the (th parallel of North Latitude will set at rest all qnestions as to the conrse of the bonndary in the West between ihe States and the Red River Territory of Mauitohs, and, as soon as Con greas has provided the money to meet its cost, the task will be accomplished hy A joint comission of survey, animated by no other desire than that of solving ques tion of science. Thus the Inst occasion of difference will disappear, and it is 10 he hoped BO LEW cause of estrange ment will he permitted to arise. Yet the settlement of onr disputes was not agreed upon withont the intervention of obstacles for which neither of ns was responsible. Tt is rather strange to find that influences have been exerted, neither English nor American, to thwart the ratification of the Treaty of Washingtonghut the openness with which Gen, Grant refers to M. Catacazy releases us from all delicacy in a'lnding to the diplomatic scandals connected with that Envov's name, M. Catacazy was till recently the Russian Minister ot Washington, and, mo ed possibly by the untoward zeal M. de Tallevrand so gtronely deprecated, he need his inflaenee to induce members of the Senate to reject the Treaty with Great Britain. He seems to have thougiit that Russia aust suffer if perfect friendshin wore established between Fngland and the States, and he atte mpted, therefore, to prevent the anticinated disaster, He was not sneeessful, except in injnring himself. The United States Govern ment demanded his reeal!, and, whatever willingness there may have been to profit hy his condnet had it ancceeded, it was at once repudiated by Russia when it was exposed. y This reapportionment [of members of Congress] must, however, prodnee a reat r effect in neerandizine the Free-Trade party, and the tentative alterations Presi dent Grant now recommends in the Tariff and the Ta Jand Revenne laws wi'l probally he followed by consid erable reforms in the same direction during his second term of otice. It is to be recretted that the nopnlar de mand for the remea! of the Income Tax should be £0 gtrong ae to threaten its abrozation withont the adoption of any substitute. Withont a direct tax in rome shape or other, it must alwave be impossible to revise the Reve enne laws of the Feleration so as to wake them just in their incidence on tax-payers and free from the waste fulness of protective duties: and the periodical valu. tions of property made within each State for State pur Poses seem to furnish an easy method of imposing a Redox tax which shall possess many of the virt'ies of the Tnemne Tax withant ita faults, ‘Unfortunately, the clause in the Federal Constitution which prohibits the Jevving of ony direct tax ness it be Yaid in proportion to the number fnhiabitants in each Ktate—a clause having i origin in a fala cions view of taxation long sib discarded=linders the fmivosition of such a tax 8 we contemplate, and public opinion on the subject in the Union is not yet sufficiently educated to rooire its repeal. Finance taxation, and free trade must, inwever, constitnte the enhicets on which the next great division of puriies io the Union will arise, and, as the center of the fod ration #hifts westward, wa mav look fora solution of i's ceo nomic problems ace rong tothe views of the oe alin: ral pre Anes rin the States of the Misissippia ther i han na wsters and menufactarers in the States of I _" In every case of fever there are little varia tions in the eonrse of the motady, often slight recessions in regard to partieniar conditions, The main question, however, 18 whether, in the absence of actually nnfavor able indications, the progress on the whole has teen good, and this ix ¢learly the case with the Prince, and it instifies a favorable conclusion.
