EUROPEAN DESIGNS ON Mnxloo.-The Spanish
Minister of State has ooolly announced In Con-
gress that Spain would demand repsration nom
Mexico on account of the war of indepen-
dence; and the French journals are quietly
discussing, as probable event, the elevation OF
the Archduke Macmillan of Austria to the
throne of Mexico as a satisfactory territorial
compensation in exchange for Venetia. 1t
would appear from this that the policy OF Spain
is to wrest every dollar she can from Mexico
during the present war, and conquer the coun-
try if she can; while the policy Of France is to
make catspaw of Spain, allowing her to fight
the Mexicans till such time as France finds it
convenient to dictate terms to Austria and
Spain on the questions involved. But it strikes
US that both Louis Napoleon and the Spanish
Minister are in the position of the man who
counted his chickens before they were hatched.
Spain will have to conquer Mexico before she
will be able to exact an indemnity; and SO far
the prospect Of her achieving that result is ex-
ceedingly remote. When Spain fails, France
will be equally powerless in carrying out any
programme for placing Mexico under Euro
pean government. The Mexicans have still
courage and unity enough to defeat the machi-
nations of any and all the Powers combined
against her.

HORACE GREELEY DIssECTED BY A. OAKEY
HALL, Eso.-The letter of A. Oakley Hail. ESQ.,,
our District Attorney, upon poor Massa Gree
ley, was published in our columns some time
ago, and is now, in response to the popular
request, republished in pamphlet form, with
notes explanatory and corroborative. No poll
tician should be without this admirable e1pose
of great abolition humbug, and no lover of
the curious should neglect to read this piquant
dissertation upon the great and small vices of
the notorious Greeley. The letter itself is
rare jewel, but its setting Of notes is hardly
less valuable and attractive Extracts from the
Tribune editorials-moral, personal and politi-
cali Greeley's remarkable letter to Secretary
(then Governor) Seward; instances of Greeley's
s'self-consciousness," or, in palmer terms, Gree
ley's vanity; proofs of Greeloy's tergiversations
and contradictions; the original Coward to
Richmond articles" of the Tribune; Greeley's
celebrated "Just Once" confession, and, in short,
abundant testimony from the Tribune files Of
the truth of every one Of Mr.. Halls statements,
Cow like broad river of commentary along
the shore limo of the original epistle. If poor
Greeley's "selfconsciousness" is really as great
~ it Is represented, we should think that he
would go hang himself after seeing his mental
and moral lineaments reflected in Mr.. Halls
truthful mirror.

TIE BANKRUPT BnL.-The whole business
community awaits anxiously the passage of the
Bankruptcy bill. Business is reviving, the end
of the war begins to be seen, and already we
find that futtering in commercial circles which
betokens great increase in trade and manu-
facture. But many able and willing hands are
fettered by the consequences Of past failures,
and only the Bankrupt bill can relieve them.
Therefore let us have the Bankrupt bill as
speedily as possible 1t is one of the most inn
portant features of the financial programme of
the government.

SPEAKER RAYMoND's LoBBY.-What has be-
come of the committee upon Speaker Ray
mond's new lobby? Why does not the COM
mittee report and have the matter settled?
Here are four or five millions of dollars worth
of jobs coming up to Albany, directly or indi
rectly, and, as the lobby is disorganized, there
is no one to attend to them, unless Speaker
Raymond intends doing all the lobby busi-
ness himself and pocketing oil the proceeds.
But this one horse way of doing business is not
fair. Morgan, Cummings and the like are
managing things all their own way, and all
because we have no good lobby. Hurry up
your cakes, gentlemen, or the lobby will be
too late for the army ale. We insist upon
Speaker Raymond's new lobby coming into the
deld Immediately. If is to be well done, let
il be done quickly.

THE CHARGES AGAINST THE REBEL GENE.
RAJ CRITTENDEN.


General Crittenden will doubtless appear before
court MARTIAL which will determine the right and wrong
OF the matter. II he is found guilty Of conduct un.
becoming an officer and gentleman, he win receive the
amplest Justice of code too lenen If he is not
guilty surely no one wishes to condemn him unjusty.
And more than all we not willing add fuel to the
hamo OF indignation which already completely over
whelms him from highway and byway before we are
thoroughly apprised Of the official facts the When
we are so apprised shall not be behindhand in pro-
per outspoken course.
But meanwhile. in continuation Of this point it is to
be remarked that there certain undeniable facts in
relation to General Crittenden which throw as much
responsibility upon the authorities who commissioned
him as thoy are calculated to cast oboquy upon him.
SELF We alude, Of course, to his reputed and well es-
tabshed ntemperance No matter how deserving other

Of mind and hoart too often most eminent the per-
sons Of just such men-no matter what influence is
brought to bear upon the President he tho fact
we assured Of it, he merits the sevorest re-
proval for commissioning him. OF course all this will DO

light everything relating TO tho unfortunate affair.

The BANKING BILL-We have repeatedly
urged the Importance Of recognized national
currency. The Banking bill, which is one Of
the series of financial measures proposed by the
government, provides just such national cur
rency as is imperatively demanded and impera-
lively necessary. It puts the whole circulation
of the country into the control of the govern
ment. and thus the people have reliable secu-
rity in the government itself, and the national
money will pass current anywhere in the Union,
and not be subject to the shaves and discounts
whichnow make bank bills nuisances. Private or
incorporated banks will make dividends enough
from the profits of their deposits and discounts,
and the profits Of their circulation will 60
where they belong-to the government and the
public Treasury. Let us have the Banking bill.

OFFICE SEEKERS, TAKE WARNN0-During the

those who re seeking for government Offices not
to initiate their example. The only result Of the

be to get them comfortable quarters in Fort

FOREIGN INrERyENTIoN.-From the brief alb
stract Of the French Emperor's speech which
has reached us by the Jura, there would appear
to be no immediate purpose on his part of
breaking the blockade. We must not, however
trust too implicitly to the ambiguous assurances
that he has employed in his address to the Corps
Legislatif II is true the State Department at
Washington gives out that there ID no reason to
apprehend that either England or France has
any intention of interfering with us. Accord
ing to it everything continues secure at the
other side, so far as our interests are con-
cerned. The State Department is very wrong
to circulate such statements. 1t is only deceiv-
ing the public with false impressions Of the real
condition of things, just as it sought to deceive
us in the affair of the Trent. Were it not for
the newspapers the public both here and in
England would have been left in ignorance up
to the last moment of the purpose Of the 60
vsrnment in regard to the surrender of Mason
and Slidell. It is from the ministerial journals
abroad and the private letters received by COM
mercial houses here that the disposition of both
governments can best be judged Of. The tone
of these continues to be anything but reassur-
ing. The only security we have against foreign
interference is to press on military operations
as speedily as can be done with safety, so that
we may be able to crush out the rebellion be-
fore the two governments can find decent pre-
text for Intervention.
