LONDON, April 30.-The trial of Burke and
Shaw was resumed this morning. At the sug-
Sestlon of Judge Brownell the proceedil gs
against Casey were discontinued and prisoner
was discharged. Earnest Jones' one of the
counsel for Burke, delivered his argument for
me defence. He praised the talents and cul-
ture OF prisoner; he urged the great disadyan-
tage under which Burke labored Of having mad
his case prematurely thrust into the Clerken.
Wen cons Tracy trial, where practically he had
already been convicted, although they mad no
opportunity to eximine the witnesses who tes-
titled against him or produce witnesses in his
own defence. Jones then thoroughly sifted
the evidence ior the Crown, and concluded with
an e'oQuent appeal 10 the jury.
Z Mr.. 7Pater counsel tor Shaw, followed. He
urged the point that with the exception OF in-
torm.r Corydon, none of the witnesses ior the
prosecution bad testified against his client.
Judge Brownell delivered his charge to the
Jury, who retired for deliberation, and ON re-
Gurn brought in verdict of guilty against
Burke and Casey.

Burke said he was content with the verdict,
though lie was not subject of the Queen. The

ment Of the political excitement and election
OF General Grant to the Presidency; but the
prosperity OF the country may b. retarded by
uuwise Legislation or a bad administration or
advanced by wise measures. Toe new Presi-
dent and Congress should turn their attention
to the financial situation of the country, aud to
relieving the people of the present enormous
weight et taxation. Taxes to the amount OF
iour hundred millions year in time OF peace
cannot and will not be borne SuJh taxation
is nonstrous. From two hundred to two hun
dted and fifty millions q year would be ampls.
The current expenses of tho Government, in
dependent o the interest on the deb, ought NOT
to he over seventy five to hundred millions,
including pensions aud every thing else. Ths
expenditures of tine GOvernmenG must bs
brought down hundred and fifty TO two hun
dTed millions. Then ths whole revenue sys.
tenn ought to be changed so as to bear lightly
upon industry aud the industrial classes.
Revenue should be raised from a few articles
of luxury only and from the wealth of the
country. There should be a uniform ad
U0ioa6m tariff. AT present the system of rails
ing revenue, both by internal taxation and
duties, is cumbrous, complicated, very costly
and oppressive. 1t might be simplified so as
to cost not third of wUat II now costs. The
army OF hungry and thieving offjeholders in
the Internal Revenue Department and Custom
Houses might be reduced to one fourth the
number, aud a more vigilant eye kept upon
those that would remain. The national banks,
which are devOuriDg nearly all the profits OF
industry, should be abolished or be reorganzed
so as to make them give up the twenty mil
lions year which they now draw from the
Government and public through their circulA-
tion. The bondhOliers should be made to
bear a proper share of the public burdens.
The national debt shond be consolidated and
the interest reduced, and it should be either
utilized or put under process of liquidation.
The American people will not be hardened
with perpetual debt. 1t would be contrary
to their views and habits and to the spirit OF
our institutions. Then, with reg ard to the
currency, any attempt to contract that, as the
resumption theorists advocate, would create
general bankruptcy and parayze the business
otthe country. We should suffer more than the
British did when the Government yielding to
the clamors of the bondh0lders and capitalists,
attempted to force specie payments after the
wars with Napoleon, because in this vast
country and with it's widespread interests
there is a greater necessity for au ample circu-
lating medium. Contraction of the currency
would only be of benefit to the bondholders
national banks, and large capitalists. The
mass of the community would suffer. II
would make the rich richer and the poor
poorer. Let General Grant, then, prepare to
comprehend these great and vital questions OF
taxation, finance, and currency, in order that
his administration may not be used for the
benefit of privileged few, but that it may be
blessing to the whole people.

and have treated him as they treat
President Johnson. Whatever might be
yielded to them by q President who had been
a lifelong Democrat would be regarded as a
concession and q basis of negotiation for an
equivalent. Both as candidate and as Pre-
sident Mr.. Seymour had more elements OF
success than Mir. Chase; but to develop his
full strength as a candidate he should have
come early into the canvass, and have hat
the advantage of shaping the issues Thi5
would have forestalltd the necessity OF his
coming actively into the canvass at the last
hour to clear the party Of misrepresentation
which could not have existed II h9 nad come
into the Convention as its foremost candidate,
and shaped the platform in accordance with
his own Judgment.
The Uorid'S earnest demand for change of
tactics after the October defeats was misnter-
preted, as its articles were at FIRST in June, in
consequence of being read through the oOlored
glasses of another ill-advised Chase move
ment, which we had nothing to do with, and
certainly no wish to promote. General Blair's
nomination was as great a surprise to us as TO
the Convention itself and the party. His
Brodhead letter few directly in the face of all
that the World had been advocating in
the month of June. The needless defeats in
October confirmed us in the opinion that
the World had then advised the party
wisely, and that General Bair's influence was
disastrous. we promptly determined, as the
last hope of saving anything in the Northern
States to make wide separation in the pub
lie mind between the views and policy of
Governor Seymour and his misplaced asso
ciate on the ticket. The attempt was success
full. We have thereby saved New York,
which the Republicans confidently expected to
carry after the October elections. If Governor
Seymour had allowed his friends to bring him
into the field last winter, Mr.. Pendleton
would hardly have come into competition
with him; the foolish Chase movement would
never have been hatched; such candidate
as General Blair could not have been placed
upon the ticket; and, in spite of General
Grants military prestige, we should have
carried the election. But nothing was done
with foresight and deliberation. There was no
development of a consistent plan. There was
no adjustment of the platform to the leading
candidate, nor of the Two candidates to each
other. Nothing turned out as anybody would
have predicted. The Convention did not sus-
pect, half an hour in advance, that it was
going to nominate Governor Seymour. 1t had
just as little foresight of the nomination of
General Blair. The platform was ac-
commodated to the views of Mr.. Pendleton.
The consequence of such a tumble was that
Governor Seymour had come out of his retire.
ment to do at the last moment what ought to
have been done at the beginning as a part of
the scheme for nominating him. Considering
how much was saved by this eleventh hour
wisdom, what might we not have gained il
Governor Seymour's mind had been i'm pressed
upon the whole canvass?

Now for Revival of Business.

from JhS ~. 4. HeTutQ
The election agony is over. The public
mind is at rest. All feel assured-yes, even
the defeated as well as the successful party
that General Grant will be conservative and
that we shall have peace. The radicals, having
secured the election, will be less disposed to
extreme measures. They will see, too, that
they have succeeded through the popularity
OF General Grant and the bunders OF their OPP
ponents, and not because the party itself was
popular. Besides, they will not be so powerful
TOR mischief, even ii they should be so dis.
posed as their great majority in Congress is
cut down considerably. In every point of
view, then, there is reason to expect public
tranquility and the end of our political and
sectional tronbles.
This happy state of things will be felt in all
the business and industrial interests of the
country. We may confidently look now for
revival Of business throughout the length and
breadth OF the land, and particularly IN this
city, which Is the centre OF trade. The Ameri-
can mind is intensely active, and when freed
from political excitement will fiud occupation
in business enterprise and industry. The South
will increase its energies in planting, so as to
restore its material prosperity and to become
Independent in everything required to sustain
life; the manufactuIes of the East and North
will take fresh start; mining and railroad
enterprises will be promoted, and our mercan.
tile and shipping intei ests will feel the gene.
raj impulse of peace and prosperity. The
trade OF New York and the rush Of people
here will be far greater, probably, within the
ne xt six months than has ever been known
before The world has bsen astOnished at the
reouperative power of the United States after
going through the most terrible ard exhaustive
war ever witnessed. II is surprising even to
ourselves. Look, for example, at the South
utterly desolated and impoverished, its imple-
ments and appliances OF industry destroyed or
worn out and it's whole labor sy stem revou-
tionized yet il raised last year a crop of cotton
worth over two hundred millions OF dollars
besides fine crops of sugar, tobacco, rice, and
enough of other produce to live upon. Bat
We shall see now still greater development
OF our wonderful and varied resources through.
out the whole republic. The truth is, there is
no limit to the growth, wealth, and industry
OF the country.
Sill, much depends upon the action OF the
Government hereafter. We shall have, as we
said, fresh and good start with the settle

In the discussion of Grants Secretaries we
have heard Sherman named as the man for
the War Department; but we rather incline to
the thought that Sherman should be made
General of the Army aud that Schofeld should
stay in the War Ofi-e, a place in which he
fits wonderfully we'll Porter will doubtless
be Secretary of the Navy, as he ought, and
for Secretary of State We will be satisfied with
either Charles Francis Adams or Motley. For
an office in which the national character may
be maintained abroad by clear thinking, strong
speaking, and enlarged views of national
poity, such shallow-pate as Sumner must
not for moment be named. Doubtless the
South should appear at the council board, aud
Holden, of North Carolina, might have seat
as representing the Department of the Interior.
Any body may have the Post Office that is
satisfactory to Grant. New York, as the
great financial centre of the nation, is entitled
to have the head of the Treasury, and there

The West Repudiates Reputation.

From The NJ Y. Times. RS$at3
The financial policy of the Democratic party
was dictated by the supporters of Pendleton,
and ratified by the Convention, with the
avowed purpose of conciliating the West. 1t
was contended that the Western States were
almost unit in favor of the taxation of
bonds, the payment of the tive-twenties in
greenbacks, and an initiation of the currency
to render that step practicable When the
party made these measures leading features
of its platform, the whole West was claimed
for Seymour. Pendleton became one of the
great guns of the campaign, everywhere ex-
pounding his nostrum and urging its prohta-
bleness to the Western people. Seymour
himself, in his memorable and melancholy
pilgrimage, gave special prominence to the
same subject. New Yorker, he attempted
to raise a sensational issue against his State.
He denounced the bondholders, advocated in.
tiation, and did bis best to justify the scheme
OF spoliaton propOunded by his party. Down
to the last, he evidently cherished the opinion
that the West separated itself from other
palts of the Union on financial questions, and
was prepared to sanction robbery and repu-
diation as a short and easy mode of tightening
its burden. ..
Tuesdays work has forever dispelled these
delusions. The entire West has gone sOlidly
against the principles and policy of the De-
mOcracy. OF all the States which were
alleged to be adherents of the greenback doc
trine not one has sustained it at the polls.
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa. Missouri, Kansas, and Ne
braska-all have repudiated the repudiators
and taken positions under the Republican
banner. They have spurned the temptation,
and sent the tempter into dishonored retire
ment. They have declared that the interest
and honor of the Republic are one, and that
that party is not worthy Of trust which, to
gain power, was willing to destroy the public
credit and inhct upon industry the curse OF
an irIedeemable currency.
Six months ago the greenback theory looked
formidable. Pendleton and his party dog
matized as though they We're a power in the
land. The great West was at their back, it
was said, and would make sure of victory.
| To-day the theory is exploded the party aud
its nominees are defeated and dlsgracsd; and
the West stands, compact and earnest, on the
side Of Grant and national honesty.

What We Have Won.

From the ~ y. Tribune.
In the election OF General Grant, the people
have secured that for which they fought
Union, peace, and equal rights for all men.
After seveDty-fve years of struggle over the
question whether the Union is league or
nation, and after fifty years OF contest as to the
right of all men to be free, the election of
General Grant finally seals the restoration of
the Union, and founds an indissoluble nation
ality, on the basis of universal liberty and
manhood suffrage. The next four years may
be occupied in part in getting the machinery
OF our new system into harmonious operation.
But the principles on which our nation is now
