THE GIBSON CAsE.-With regard to the
case of Capt. Gibson, the Washington cor
respondent OF the Philadelphia North Amer
lean writes Us follows, under date of jam.
arv 81:
The correspondence in the Gibson case
discloscs some curious features. It affords
reason to believe that this victim of oppres-
sion Is not al American citizen, and that the
Dutch Government inflicted the penalties Of
which ne complains, for violations of two To-
cal laws, OF which the exact countcrparts
prevail i'll the United States. The more
tins case, about which SO much bother has
been raised, is investigated, the more ride.
u!ous appears the nolorictv which it has
obtained. The administration neither cx-.
poets indemnity for Gibson nor proposes to-
make any further effort to that end. The
real motive Of the prompt action of the
Ncihcrland Colonial authorities in rcpelinc
the interference of Capt. Gibson with tho
natives Of Java, is supposed to have been
that they suspected him to he an emissary
%: the British government.

DISCUSSED ALconoL.-Thc temperance
papers arc calling the public attention to the
fact that candy or gum drops sold in the
confectionery stores are filled with brandy,
and that they arc very much used by women
and children, who in this disguised form
first acquire taste for alcoholic stimulants.
Some of these drops arc said to contain
about IL thimblcful Of brandy. The atroci.y
Of selling such poison to children is too mimi
fest 10 dwell upon. The mischief will, no
doubt, be in grca, degree cared by calling
