THE NEws-WHERE DOES IT Cow From A
daily newspaper has been correctly described as
a daguerreotype Of the world, and its columns a.
exhibiting the history Of it daily progress. But
does the reader ever reflect upon the constantly
changing scenes whence comes the news that
every one wishes to know, and upon the fact
that these rapid changes only mark the victories
gained In the worlds developements
A short time since the Crimea was the great
fct Hundreds Of thousands Of men died in and
around Sebastopol and peace was proclaimed
Ambition was foiled in Its object; but the world
gained the great fact that Christian and Moham-
mcdan Powers could throw off the chains Of bigot-
~ and unite for common purposes; and thus the
Mohammedan nations have been opened to tho
influence OF that material and Intellectual civil
zation which toleraies all creeds and improves
all men. Then the Crimca was forgot, and the
scene changed to the mighty rebellion of India.
The point Of world interest was there. All men
wished 10 know how the world.battlc progressed.
Civilization again triumphed and federation again
prevailed. No sooner was the Indian triumph

tails of Indian development possessed no int.
rest except for those Immediately concerned In
its results but the problem Of the opening Of in
tcrcoursc with four hundred millions Of men wasa
vast stake Here, too, the liberation Of civiliza-
ton triumphcd and this great point once gained
that region ceases to be source Of news except
10 those whose individual interests arc involved
The poiut Of news, then, Is the active scene
where the spirit Of the present age attacks the
musty formulas Of the past, or strives to plant
the germs Of new Development. The effect Of
each victory is not confined to the conquered,
but rcciprocatcs with the conquercr. The
Crimean war showed 10 US the spectacle Of
friendly intercourse between the Sultan and the
Pope and Mohammedan mosques defended by
Christian bayonets; that Of India has resulted ia
the guarantee of Brahminism by Protestant
arms; aud In China the Buddhist promises 10

powder Congress. ready upon triaing punctiliic,
or even upon a grave provocatio1, to plunge the
world into war before eXhausting the peaceable
agencies OF satisfaction.
We hold, therefore, that while on the one
band the negotiations proposed by Mr.. Buchanan
may possibly result in the peaceable acquisition
Of Cuba, and will almost certainly result in a
better understanding with Spain, and more
satisfactory commercial relations with the
island, there can be, on the other hand,
no possible contingency Of war from the
failure to make the purchase desired If
the time has not yet come We can wait little
longer The ruling policy of all Christcndom,
in this nineteenth century is not to provoke, but
TO prevent war; and peace with the United States
is the oyerruling necessity with both England
and France. We may depend upon it, therefore,
that any overtures which we may advance for
the purchase of Cuba will be respectfully treat
ed and that if the results do not involve the &C
QUESTION Of the island, they will comprehend
better understapdIng with ali parties concerned
than that which now exists With these views
We hope that the bill Of Mr. Branch for the dis
cretionaTy million to the President will. without
unnecessary delay, be advanced into law Of the
land.

Three weeks Of the present session Of Congress
have passed, and honorable Senators and mem
bers are scattered over the country enjoying the
festivities of Christmas When they re-assemble
in the halls of Legislation, on the 9TH of January
next, there will remain just fifty working days
in which to transact the pressing business of the
session Judging of the future by the past. we
do not tiatter ourselves with the hope that much
will be done beyond the mere passage of the
appropriation bills; because, with the exception
of The passage Of three or four private bills by
both houses, and Of bill granting pensions to
the soldiers OF the war CT 1912 by the House,
no progress whatever has been made With the
business of the country during the three weeks
that have passed since Congress met
And ye. there has been comparatively
high degree of industry manifested by both
houses, during the present Congress, as
contrasted with former sessions. The
Senate has bestowed q good deal Of time
and attention on the consideration Of the Pacific
Railroad bill, and it is thought that that body
will pass some measure of the kind soon after its
re-assembling. In the House a full week was
consumed in discussing the question Of the pro-
posed impeachment of Judge Watrous, of Texas,
and another week in the consideration OF the
bill granting pensions to the officers and soldiers
of the war of 1912, which bill was finally passed
by that body on Wednesday last Perhaps
neither of these subjects could have been pro-
perly discussed in q less space Of time. But if
the other important measures that are TO come
before Congress this session-our foreign rela-
tons, the abrogation Of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, the acquisition Of Cuba, the proposed
protectorate over Mexico, the increase of our
navy, the revision Of the tariff, the adj
new Territories, the raising money by
government lean, the changes Of our postal
sy stem, the sabventioning Of ocean steamship
lines, and the numerous subjects 10 which the
President has called the attention Of Congress
are to give rise, they severally come up. to the
same degree Of discussion, and te consume cor
responding length of time, there is not the re-
hottest chance Of our having even moderate
quota Of these subjects disposed of by the pre-
sen, Congress.
We hope that. In view OF the urgent necessity
Of having at least some Of the most important
Of these questions settled before the 4th Of
March next, our Senators and Representatives in
Congress will 20 to work, after the recess in
proper spirit, avoid political and personal wrang
lings, conduct themselves like gentlemen, discard
improper influences, and act upon all the subjects
that will come before them with an eye to the
advantage Of the country and to their own repu-
tation as national statesmen.

There were no signs Of the steamship Asia at
Sandy Hook at 10 o'clock last night. 40 that hour
the weather was clear, and wind light from south

The screw steamship Kangaroo, which left Liver

from St. Johns, N. f. after the arrival Of the Pa

last Friday morning Our files by the Kangaroo
contain some interesting extracts. We give the
main points Of the speech made by the Queen Of
Spain al the opening of the Cortes, in which she
refers 10 her relations towards Mexico. Some Of
the leading London journals think that the United
States government has shown much forbesrance
towards Mexico. seeing the Reorganization Of that
country. The commercial and financial advices by
the Kangaroo have been anticipated.

TIE New CONTROLLER AND HIS APPOINT.
MESrs.-Although we look upon IL as settled
fact that Mr.. Haws will be entirely under the
control Of the Seward and Weed faction, yet we
hope that In selecting the subordinate officials OF
the Comptroller's department he will at least
appoint competent clerks who understand how
TO keep accounts. There are three bureaus in
that department requiring in the cbiefs thereof
good accountants and business men, possessing
qualifications just as high as the Comptroller
himself, namely: those Of the Receiver of Taxes
the Auditor, and the Bureau Of Arrears. The
general bookkeeper, alec, should be such a one as
any prudent banker or merchant would employ
The business capacity and integrity OF M thesc
officers should be the tests applied TO their #
ness for the positions TO which they are TO be
appointed. r. Mr.. Haws is only guided by this
consideration, rather than by political motives,
he may bring about some reform In the finance
department.; but II, on the contrary, he bows to
The dictation Of hungry faction In the selection
Of his subordinates, We shall have worse state
&c affairs there than ever.

THE CRY PROPERTY BRorGHT TO THF H,u-
sER.-There is food for serious reflection in the
fact that large and valuable portion Of the pro-
Perty owned by the city was sold under cxecu-
ton by the Sheriff, the other day to satisfy a
claim against the Corporation--and cold, too,
under circumstances OF an extraordinary and
unprecedented nature. The Lowber claim has
become historical event in the annals OF this
city; and whether II was a proper transaction in
IT. inception or not there is no doubt that IL has
been pronounced legal by the courts, and that
Mr.. Lowbcr has had the satisfaction Of purchas-
ing for his own use and benefit property belong
ing to the public, in lots. wharves and piers,
worth million or two Of dollars, at The low
price OF sl7s,520, Ia lieu Of claim for sl9s 900
or, with interest, about s2.sooO. There were
but two bidders AZ the sale-Mr. Lowber himself
and Moses Taylor-and the whole value of city
property sacrificed was not far short Of two
millions.
II is prcsumable that the court decided cor
rectly in favor Of Mr.. Lowbcr; but Il may be
asked whether II is lawful for him to retain
millions worth Of public property to satisfy a
claim Of little over two hundred thousand, and
whether he will do 80 If il should be lawful. II
has become 80 common Of late for the Sheriff to
60 through the ceremony Of selling under exc
cution the pictures in the City Hall and the
statuary In the Park that people have come TO
look on the thing as farce; but we suppose
the grave dfHouement OF the Lowbcr case will
open their eyes to the fact that their property
can be sacrificed under some circumstances, a.
things are now managed though we doubt
whether even this shameful affair viii rouse the
