Summary of the Week.


The outrage at Syracuse, New York, has in some
measures taken the place in public attention former
ly occupied by the Christiana affair. The recent
outrage is even glaring than its predecessor,
as the present case the actually in custody
of the laws-was before the United States commits
soner and the police Office was forcibly broken in
to to effect the rescue. There is one coincidence
the dilatoriness of the authorities in both cases.
We all know how slow Gov Johnston, of Pennsylva-
MIA, was to move his worthy coadjutor, Gov. Hunt,
is not more brisk for as yet we have been able to
ascertain no movement that he has made to vndicate
the honor of the State assert the majesty Of the
laws Neither have the local authorities been more
rrumpt. AS the New York Tribune and other Sew
ard papers triumphantly assert all is nov quiet 1t
would seem that his Excellency is unwilling to dis
turb this quiet by any calculated to bring the
perpetrators of the late outrage to justice and pun
ishment
We respect the conservative influences of religion
much any person can do; but candor compels
us to express our conviction that, if this
try shall be torn asunder by faction severed by
dsunon it will these blessings to the phanthro
pic exertons of the clergy of the various churches
north. These good people are by means content
with attending to the affairs of another world: they
must need be politicians and intermeddle with the
things of this. With the exception of the Catholics,
and to great extent the Episcopalians the pulpits
of the north many abolition rostrums, when
even the pretended addresses the throne of grace
arc studied invectves against slavery. Under the
Mosaic dispensation it provided that the priest
that served the altar, should live by it; and we
think law should be made that he should keep by
it. Nine-tenths of the northern clergy are much
traitors as the men now indicted for treason in Phi
ladelpha.
Of course every body now knows that there never
was any instruction in Cuba, and that Lopez and
his were miseraby deceived. Under this state
of things, would consider any Intervention by
citizens of the United States, unjustifable inter-
modelling. and have so expressed our opinion. This
the Washington Republic proclaims % another
conversion" though from what and to what, it has
not informed IT, that paper says, we have
heretofore sympathised with the Cuban invasion, it
was because believed the people of that island
were struggling for liberty; and who would not
sympahsc with any enterprise calculated to strength
en- them in their efforts The men who went over
with Lopez, evidently were under that impression,
and we could sympathse with their feelings and
motives. After their mistake discovered and it
was known that handful of American citizens were
entrapped in foreign land struggling for existence
against ruthless enemy, who. but Consul Owen.
could desert them in their need 1t is burning
shame to the country, and stain to the Administra
ton that this man Owen is retained an hour.
We hear much of an impending commercial crisis
and is probable that considerable tghtness will be
experienced in money matters before many months
but we have idea that it will be ofprotracted du
AS for the exports of gold that in TRUTH amounts to
nothing. Since January $780, the deposits of Cali
fornia gold at the mint have been $50 900, while
authentic data show that the exports of specie have
not exceeded Sal 0O0 This alone would leave
s2sOOoOoO more in the country now than then
But this is not all The imports of gold from foreign
countries have been over 81. 100000, exclusive of
what has come in the hands of emigrants and other
wise,-a much larger sum than is generally believ-
ed. The amount of gold now in the country is close
to fifty millions than it was two years ago
The Journal of Commerce places this shipment Of
gold in its proper light as follows: IF the thou
sands who are toiling amid the golden sands ant
rocks of California, engaged in raising wheat
and this were to be sent abroad, to create
a scarcity here, protectionists would claim tn
exports as sign of prosperity Why them whcl
the same men instead of harvest OF wheat, raise
harvest of gold and this is shipped do we hear sue
notes of alarm %
It will be seen that the Conn party have carrie
everything in Georgia We believe this result ha
been anticipated for months. 1t will require furthe
details to enable us to tell whether the vote has bee
full one not, although judging from the excite
ment which has so long pervaded that State it is
sonable to suppose that it was. 1t is almost mpo
sible to tell what influence the result in Georgia
exert over the coming contest in South Carolina.
Toombs and Stephens are elected They til
only Congressional candidates who do not claim aft
