EUROPEAN INTERVENTION ON THIS CONTINENT
The Mexican question seems to attract very
great deal of attention just now in Europe,
and there are as many candidates for the mo-
: narchy Of that country as there ever were
aspirants for our Presidency. Maximiian the
candidate of Austria and France, leads the list
Leopold, King of Belgium, has son of whom
he is anxious to dispose; Spain has half dozen
applicants, but, despairing of the success of any
one of them, has turned her ideas towards Peru
with view Of making that and the other South
American republics into monarchies for the
accommodation of the surplus members of the
royal families of Europe. Thus every day the
importance Of this country becomes more
clearly seen; for, while this great republic is
crippled, every republican form of govern
ment, the world over, is weak and in danger.
Every day, then, should increase the fixed rcso-
luton of our statesmen and generals to make
{ us soon again the strong champion of free, re-
publican institutions, the United States of
America.

No BURDEN WITHOUT A C0MPENsATION.-Ther
is no evil without a compensating good. So it
is with the new Tax bill. 1t imposes many new
burdens upon us; but at the same time it will
diminish tho pressure of many old ones.
Hitherto the increase of taxation, municipal as
well as State, has been out of all proportion to
tho public exigencies. The cause of this has
been the shameful manner in which the public
money has been appropriated and squandered
by Office holders. 1t was impossible to impose
any check on their rascaities because the DIFF
ferent legislatures and municipal bodies shared
in the general corruption. The only place
where remedy could be provided was at the
polls, but no one Of any position in the COM
munity cared to lose time or to expose himself
to dsagreeable associations to protect himself
against taxation which he scarcely felt. Be-
sides, fortunes were made too easily for men.
TO occupy themselves with the prospective in
terests of the community at any present sacri-
flee OF their own comfort. The consequence
was that none but politicians of the lowest
order of character and ability were elected to
fill important public offices. All this is going
to be changed. The heavy burdens which the
war WI impose upon us in the shape of taxa
'tion will render every man alive to the import
ance of selecting properly qualified political
representatives. From this necessity will grow
up wholesome and purer state of things We
shall learn from it the duties and response
lbilities of representative institute ons

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF CuARI-
TIES AND CoRREcrIoN.-We publish in our
columns this morning synopsis of the
second annual report of the Commissioners
of Public Charities and Correction. 1t will
repay pcrusal. The Lunatic Asylum, Work
house, Almshouse, Penitcntary and Island
Hospital are reported to be in good condition
The earnings OF criminals and vagrants have
been over twenty-onc thousand dollars, and
this sum is a net gain y the public. Tho City
Prison is reported much improved, and the
Bellevue Hospital is in an especially excellent
condition. Wards Island has yielded fair
crop during the last year. and in general terms
the number of criminals and paupers has been
less than during the year preceding. We are
glad to observe that the policy of retrenchnent
and reasonable economy has been adopted by
the Commissioners, and no official feasts and
junketings have swelled the items of expendi-
ture. These institutions, rightly managed, can
do much to relieve the public and to assist and
comfort the poor.

EFFECT OF THE New TAX BILL ABRoAD-The
schedule of taxation which has been reported
by the Committee of Ways and Means will do
more for us in European estimation than half a
dozen victories 1t will put an end to the re-
proach which is brought against our govern
sment of a reckless trining with the financial
resources and credit Of the country, and will
inspire faith in our ability to overcome the re-
'bellion. Those abroad who are we'll wishers to
republican institutions will see in it something
more than this. They will feel that, with the
pressure Of heavy taxation, there will arise a
necessity for the exercise of greater care and
discrimination in the choice of those whom we
elect to administer our public affairs. This is
all that has been wanting to offer to the Euro
pean mind guarantee for the stability of our
Institutions. With our characteristic vanity we
have hitherto repudiated the justice of tho con-
clusion. The war, however, has opened our eyes
TO many things, and to this among the number.

trying to restore it. The Union az it was in
cluded an element which was urging us to ru-
In, and had brought sto the very brink. The
suspicion that some compromise will be
patched up, leaving slavery still a power in
the Republic, to work its accursed plots anew,
and so all our blood be poured out for naught,
is damper upon all enthusiasm. The Union
as It was, with negro-hunting, Kansas murders
and confiagrations, lynch laws to cancel
debts, bludgeons and pistols the rule of de-
bate, is not worth fighting for, or praying for
and all the blood which has been spilled on
the soil of slavery, as If to purge and hallow
1t, cries to heaven against such consumma-
ton.
"But it would be unconstitutional to put an
end to slavery" We do not debate that mat
ter. Enough that Congress says it would not
be, and the President says it, over his sign
manual and with hshis oath upon him. The
slaves of all rebels are declared confiscated
and that would sweep the insurgent States tol-
erably clean. The President any day can kim
die back fire which would cause not only
Richmond, but all the Border States, to be
evacuated OF traitors good deal quicker than
our volunteers would do it. The Union as it
should be, with slavery as a political power
sunk too deep even for the resurrection of the
last day 10 find 1t, and the rebcllious aristocra-

aud open new epoch for the country and the
human race?
As We write, the proclamation comes to hand.
Practically it only evinces the Presidents pur-
pose to execute in good faith the Coniscation
Act. But it shows the gradual progress and
ripening in the public sentiment, and, If the
policy it foreshadows is faithfully followed up,
will place the sympathies Of the colored race
on the side of the Union. But neither the
President nor the people is yet prepared to use
the tremendous power which the slave-system
places in his hands. And yet, until he does
use 1t, we do not see any prospect of bringing
this war to speedy termination. But the log
ic OF events hasswept us already where nobody
ever intended IL should, and is still sweeping
us on. God be praised, he is shaping our ends,

OLD FASHIONED SPEcULATIoN.-The fol-
lowing story of old-fashioned speculation in
cotton is taken from that entertaining book,
"The Old Merchants of New York City," 1t
is told of Nathaniel Prime, one of the old
merchants:
"Rebert Kermit once started line Of saint
ships. He owned the ship ST. George and he
persuaded Stephen Whitney and old Nat
Prime to become owners in new ship, called
the st. Andrew The line never succeeded,
although the latter once made very short
passage in the year 1884, and brought the in
telligence of an advance In the price Of cotton
in Liverpool. She come in late Que Christmas
eve. Old Mr.. Prime lived at that time at the
corner of Broadway and Market-field street,
(now Battery Place. Mr.. Whitney lived only
a few steps distant, on the corner of State
street and Bowling Green row. These old
heads and two or three younger ones had the
exclusive news, and they intended to make
the most of it, 1t was certain not to be made
public until the day after Christmas Letters
of credit were pre- pared in the front paalor of
No. Broadway, for one million Of dollars.
Walter Barrett was selected to leave next
morning for New Orleans, by the way Of Wheel
ing, hoping to outstrip the great southern
mail, leaving two days ahead, carrying these
credits in favor of Thomas Barrett and John
Hagan, of New Orleans, both eminent mer-
ton to be bought so long as there was bale in
first hands in New Orleans. Mr.. Barrett, the
bearer of credits and orders, was told to spare
no expense in order to beat the mail. 1t was
now eleven O'Clock Christmas eve. No one
had thought about money for the expense of
the messenger to New Orleans. Banks were
all short-brokers too. Mr.. Prime seized a
blank check and went up to the City Hotel,
"Mr. Willard, for what amount can you cash
my check to-night?"
.How much do you wish, Mr.. Prime?'
"One thousand dollars"
Mr.. Willard had the money and gave it to
Mr.. Prime. 1t was In the pocket of Mr.. Wal
ter Barrett the next morning, when he embark
ed at six o'clock in the boat for Amdoy, COM
manded then by the since famous Captain Al
exander Schultz.
The messenger, by bribng stage drivers,
paying Mississippi boatmen $50 or SIS not to
stop and receive freight, reached New Orleans
in eleven days. 1t was daylight when he got
into the old City Hotel in New Orleans, kept
then by Mr.. Bishop. Two hours later, John
Hagan and Thomas Barrett had the letters of
credit and orders to purchase cotton. The
southern mail did not arrive for three days.
Before night over $4,000 bales Of cotton had
been purchased, at II to IL cents, or about $50
per bale. Tie cotton was sold at II and 1s
