leading political journals Of the country, espe-
cially Of the opposition camps, have entered
actively into the discussion Of the reconstruc-
ton Of parties and the probable issues Of the
great approaching struggle for the Presiden-
tal succession. OF course, the parties and the
issues Of this struggle cannot as yet be exactly

the facts and Developments Of the day there
are certain salient points and certain leading
questions from which we may construct a very
consistent and satisfactory theory.
The last Presidential election, from the divi-

viction in the public mind that not only ma
iority, but an overwhelming majority of the
people Of the United States arc opposed TO the

WAR MEASURES IN CONGRESS- publish in
full to day the amended bill introduced in the
Senate on the Sd inst by Mr.. Douglas, to meet
the present emergency In our relations with
Greet Britain, and also q joint resolution intro
duccd by Senator Gwin to meet the difficulties
likely to arise ont of the present state Of affairs
with several Of the Spanish American republics.
The bin of Mr.. Douglas revives, with certain
notifications, an act passed by Congress In
1889, on the occasion of the Aroost0Ok war ex-
citement against England 1t proposes to au-
thorize the President to call out the militia Of
the United States, and in case of invasion to &C.
cept the services of fifty thousand volunteers,
and to man such navy on the Northern lakes
as be shall deem necessary. To carry out these
purposes loan of ten millions Of dollars is au-
tLOrized by the bill. A special mission TO Eng
lan,1 Is also authorized by IT, and the aYpropria-
ton tf million of dollars to put our sesboard
Notifications in order. The resolution Of MIR.
Gwin is simply to authorize the President to use
such force against New Granada, the Central
American States and Mexico as he may deem
proper in the event of the refusal by any of
those States of Just satisfaction for wrongs in
flicted upon American citizens. Both of these
now lie on the table of the Senate, and may be
taken up and acted upon at any moment
These two measures are good IN their way,
and both of them are practical pesce measures.
But Congress could take much more simple
and economical step than either of them, and
one which, at the same time, would tend more
powerfully than any other measr.xe to strengthen
the ha9ds of the President for coming negotia-
lions, and settle all our difficulties with these
States. Let the President have the simple
power of suspending the neutrality laws toward
any one of them, and we shall soon have AMIGA
BILE negotiations established for the settlement
of all our Cuba, Central america, Mexico and
other similar questions. As the matter now
stands, the President is backed by no possible
application of physical power in his efforts to
effect a settlement of any Of our pending ques-
tions; and all these Powers, little well as big,
understand perfectly the dilatory and factious
character Of Congress Its course on the Para
quay resolutions is going to breed infinite trou-
BILE with our Spanish-America neighbors;
while, had it acted with promptitude and con-
sstency on them, it would have produced
directly contrary effect.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS OF FINANCIAL FRAuD--
On Friday next, 1t is understood that Judge
Russell will render decision on the prelimi-
nary proceedings had before him in the case of
the people on the complaint of Charles Gould
against Henry Dwight and Others What that
decision may be, II is Of course impossible to
say; but we believe that the proceedings already
instituted only constitute one of many cases
which are to be prosecuted against the de-
PENDANTS. There seems to exist, in certain
quarters, strong belief that by pressing these
inquiries in connection with the organization
and management of the Western railways.
some frauds may be detected and some knaves
be exposed. That Is consummation to be de-
voutly desired.
simultaneously with these judicial inquiries
there has been published the narrative OF the
astounding frauds committed in Wisconsin in
connection with the La Crosse enterprise.
These disclosures, on which we have heretofore
commented, reveal chapter OF fraud, roguery
and impotence which has hardly been parallel
ed in the history of this country 1t is equally
shameful to the people of the State where the
fraud took place, and to the interest which
prompted the fraud.
Some good may fairly be expected to flow
from these Inquiries In very few cases can II
be expected either that rogues will be convicted
and punished or the money recovered; but people
may look forward to exposures hat will brand
at least some Of the knaves with infamy. And
II may be hoped that II viii be little more

In this connection, many persons are wonder
ing why the Ohio Life and Trust Company,
which led the race of ruin last year, has
never been called 10 account by any Of its VIC
Tins and why its officers have not had the bene-
ft of Judicial investigation Of their conduct.
The failure of this concern was and IA an mex.

IL failed or where the two millions Of capital
which IL had went. AL is obscurity and dark
ness in its affairs. Yet its failure undoubtedly
contributed more than any other single event to
the catastrophe Of last fall. Surely no more
time should be sufTered TO elapse before this
concern and lite downfall are made the subject
ofjudicial inquiry.

The experienced Chaplain of the Gov.
ernment Model Prison, London, the
Rev. Joseph Kingswell, bears the fol.
lowing testimony to the connection be.
tween Sabbath dissertation and crime:
The influence of the Sabbath upon
public morals is attested by cvery-d day
experience Of persons in my peculiar
position. W. are called to minister IN
a prison to feqo but Sabbath breakers.
The fourth commandment is united
closely, not only with the precepts which
relate to God, but with those which re.
for to man. The connection between
voluntary Sabbath breaking and filial
disobedience, for instance, is strongly
marked and little less so with unchas
tity and dishonesty. The young person
who casts off the fear of God, pays little
respect to parental authority, and, Of
course, little to any other; and dissipa
tion creating wants beyond means, pa
rents and employers are pilfered from
and career of ruin 10 begun, as costly
to the state, as it is destructive to the
happiness of individuals aud families.
1.-The usual process" said the late chap
lain of the Clerkenwell goal-speaking
of the descent into crime of about one
hundred thousand prisoners-"has been
impatience of parental restraint. viola
tion of the Sabbath, and the neglect OF
religious ordinances T do not recollect
a single case of of capital offense, where
the party has not boon Sabbath break
