ARRIVAL OF THE SPANISH STEAM FRIGArx
BLAsco DE GARAY-This beautiful Spanish ves-
sci of war has been in our harb0F several days,
and has attracted considerable notice. She IL
commanded by Capt. Claudio Alvar Gonzales,
who is q gallant and brave officer. It was this
vessel, and her present gallant and brave com
nander, with the officers and men under his
charge, who succeeded in rescuing the steam
ship Illinois from her perilous situatioa on =
reef and saving large amount of California
treasure, and who at the time received the con-
gratulations of the captain and oil on board of
the Illinois. This handsome and gallant act Of
the brave officers and men in charge Of the
Spanish frigate, also ELECTED the praise Of the
press of the country at the time. AS the Blasoo
de Garay will be in our waters some days, We
hope to see those national courtesies usual an
such occasions extended to Commander Con
zales and those under his charge, as an 'aelxnow-
ledgment Of their praiseworthy conduct towards
an American steamer in perilous distress, and
freighted rs che was with great number Of
human lives and valuable treasure.

THE MAYOR AND THE SwINDIISG Nsrrru-
TIoNs.-It seems that all Mayor Tiemann's
efforts to break up the swindling institutions Of
New York-the gambling houses, lottery poll
cies, mock auctions, and houses of i'll fame--are
strenuously opposed by nearly all the other
criminal authorities. A few days ago the
Mayors squad succeeded in arresting quite q
batch of gamblers in different portions of the
city; but the Recorder discharged them from,
custody next day. The Recorder, we believe,
thinks that the police cannot make such arrests
going 10 let loose all the rascals picked up by
the Mayors squad on this ground he will be
doing an Illegal act
The ninth section Of the Metropolitan Police
law authorizes the police on simple order of any
Police Commissioner to enter gambling house
and arrest every one found there; and the sarne
section makes it the duty of the magistrate be-
fore whom the parties may be brought for
examination to send them before the proper
criminal court for trial, 'if there shall be any
probable cause for believing that any of such
persons were in such premises for the purposes
of gaming" The Recorder discharged the
persons above alluded to on the ground that
they were not caught in the act of gambling;
but was there not probable cause for believing
that they were there for that purpose What
else were they there fors II is quite useless for
the Mayor to carry on his crusade against these
swindling operations if his brethren in the
magistracy, instead Of sustaining him, only en-
deavor to thwart him on all occasions.
As for the Metropolitan Police, these institu-
tons are carried on by their connivance. They
are in league with them. protect them. patro-
nize them. and profit by them. The late Mayor
attempted TO suppress the gambling houses and
mock auctions, but he too found his designs frus-
trated by the other authorities and by the po-
lice; so be gave the matter up in despair. 1t
is the same now with Mr.. Tlcmann a. 1t was
with Mr.. Wood, and the result will, in all pro-
liability, be similar.
Not only are the police In league with the
gamblers, lottery policy dealers, and mock auc-
tionecrs, but they do not even protect the cit-
zens of New York in their lives and properties
from the assaults of rowdies. Every day and
every hight we hear of gangs Of ruiiians enter.
ing onhhB Snioono anu c"uug HOUSES, nlnng
their bellies with the choicest viands on the bill
Of fare, and washing them down with copious
libations and If the proprietor dares to AJAX them
for payment they fall upon him, beat him I'M
mercifully, and smash all his glasses and decan-
tiers, and the police are nowhere to be found.
This is the way New York is governed under
the Metropolitan Police act, and oil the indie
pendent irresponsible departments; and we may
hope for no improvement until the Mayor is ac-
tually, as we'll as nominsly the chief magistrate.

by the old fogies of Wall street, that the bust

CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS AGAINST FINANCIAL
SwNDLERs-we alluded the other day to the
prospect that somc of the more conspicuous Of
the swinders Of the flush times which preceded
the late Revision would shortly be called to ao-
count for their misdecds in courts OF justice.
The public will be glad to know that the pros
pee, will shortly be realized. Some of the honest
and fair dealing Hnanciers Of Wall street-for
there are some lcfs even in that locality-pro-
pose TO endeavor TO have thorough invcstiga-
ton Of some Of the more outrageous Of the
alleged frauds which ptecpitated the revulsioo

and before many days elapse we may have
legal case pending which shall once more fix all
eyes upon the courts o. justice.
1t is to be hoped that the example will be fol-
lowed by others Especially should the most
mysterious, inexplicable and seemingly shock-
ing case Of the Ohio Life and Trust Company
give rise to some legal investigation. There
never was fraud in all our financial history
which did 40 MUCH mischief or comprised 80
much ruin as the failure of that conceru 1t
would be of Infinitely dangerous consequence if
its catastrophe were allowed to pass without at
least an effort to discover whether or noit was
ruined by fraud, and IL il was who WAS the
author of the fraud. The ruined creditors Of
the Ohio Life and Trust Company owe ~ tn
themselves and to the country to proceed vt
once to lay the facts before the Grand Jury.

As to the New York banks usurping fiaan-
cial empire over the rest of the country, pray.
what are they now but the chief of American
GnAncef The monopoly is established. The
empire is founded. The money is here. 1t
is from this centre that all the enterprises
which give life to the uttermost parts of
the country derive their vitality. II is
here that all the surplus Virginia produce is
bought and paid for. It is here that the
projectors Of all the railroads in Virginia come
to sell their stocks and bonds, and it is not re-
ported Of them that when they make their ap-
pearance in Wall street, with their hat in one
hand and their bonds in the other, they are
prone to say much about the despotic control of
New York. They take their money and are
wisely silent. Let the country papers follow
the example. We want nothing more than to
regulate and organize, in some methodical
fashion, that financial supremacy which is al
ready acquired by US; and If our own banks
will only forego their jealousies, the thing will
be done without regard to provincial appre-
tensions.

MINNESOTA AND OREGON AND THE BLACK
RErrBLcANs.-The opposition Of the niger
worshippers in Congress to the admission into
the Union of those two new free States, Mime
sofa and Oregon, affords another striking illus
tration OF their utter disregard Of principles or
consistency, when consistency or principle does
not suit their party purposes. Some of them
are opposed TO the Minnesota constitution be.
cause il allows to aliens the right Of suffrage;
some are opposed TO il on account of lite restric-
tons against free niggers; and, in addition TO
these objections in the case Of Oregon, at
least one black republican Senator opposes her
constitution because il puts John Chinaman in
the same category with negroes and Indians
an arrangement which is, in fact, a very wise
one. The experience of California with the
Chinese has abundantly shown that they are no
more fl to be sssimilated with, or admitted on
footing of equality into white community
than negroes or Indians.
But all these objections Of our Northern Mig
ger worshippers to the State constitutions Of
Minnesota and Oregon arc mere prctexts aud
subtcrfugcs Their real objection is the asccn-
dency Of the democratic party in both these
embryo States This objection is particularly ap.
picable to Minnesota, where, under a postpone.

might possibly Dust the two democratic

represent that State. and substitute pair Of a
more satisfactory stripe Of goods But all this
trifng and artful lodging will amount to
nothing. The two new States must come in
and as democratic States; and our Niger wor
shippers may as we'll consent 10 il at once, be
cause there is no help for il.

fooled them with the SHADOW Of the beef in The
water, while the solid article itself was passing
over the bridge to appease the hungry stomachs
of the Kansas anti-slavery party; but it will
not be long before our fre-eating Southern
champions of Southern rights and Southern
equality will discover the important fact that
the great field of agricultural labor of these
United States covers two climates--the white
mans climate and the black man 8 climate-the
zone of free white labor and the zone of African
labor occupies or attempts to occupy the zone
of free white labor the experiment must fail

law" of Mr.. Seward or the "higher law" of

DEvIIN's DEvnTRIEs.-H We may believe the
reports of the examining committees, the de-.
grading confessions of poor old Flagg, and the
judicial Developments upon the subject, then
we must admit that the late Street Inspector
Devlin is perfect beauty in his way. Accord
ing to these confessions of Flagg and the dis
closures of Judge Roosevelt, the most bare
faced, unblushing and impudent rascalities, in
the shape of frauds, corruptions and embezzle-
ments of the public money, have been for some
time past reduced to a regular system of opera
tons in the Street Department. There never
was anything like it, perhaps, in the way Of
open robbery and roguery in any city in the
civilized world. The facts would seem to be
absolutely incredible if they were not support
ed by AN array of proofs which are as astounding
as the rascalities themselves. A gang of thieves
placed over the city treasury, with full autho-
rity to appropriate all it contained and all that
might come into it, could hardly have made a
cleaner job Of it.
Look, for instance, at the case of that par
ticular official pet Of Master Flagg a special
pet, with salary of twelve hundred a year,
sporting bis yacht and a stud Of fast horses and
other luxuries that would tax the income of a
principally; and all this going on under the
very nose Of our imbecile Comptroller, whose re-
putatiOn for honesty has so long shut the eyes
of the community to his utter incompetency.
Was there ever anything like this before in bra
zen impudence and stupid confidence Was
there ever confidence game more successfully
played by the most remorseless Peter Funk
with the greenest country pumpkin?
What are we coming to? From the sweeping
official corruptions of this city, which swallow
up our increased taxes, Though increased by
millions every year; and from similar eviden-
cee, more or less, from the municipal disclosures
of Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and
other places, of the most scandalous demorali.
cation, we might answer that it is evident that
our whole sytem Of popular institutions is ra-
pidly going to tho dogs. At all events, 50 far
as this city is concerned we must plead guilty
to the indictment of the leading European jour-
malls that our popular system of municipal gov
eminent is q failure, and that it Is now ques-
ton whether a rigid but responsible despotism
like that of Paris would not be preferable to
the loose and irresponsible government Of
rogves and rascsls by which New York is taxed
and plundered. What say our taxpaying fel.
low citizens to public meeting In view Of the
example of San Francisco Talking will avail
nothing without action.
