The document has been extensively circulated
in London. BY mail we have Paris journals
which deny its authenticity in the most posi-
tive terms, and pronounce il a sheer fabrlca-

however, been made known very widely, and
its issue reads to us as if somewhat in the
spirit of the rioter who cried to the crowd,

Our real estate speculations are just now
quite likely to establish the Stars and Stripes
on some of the islands of the Feejee group
Some time ago the natives of those islands,
giving way to an ancient appetite, ate several
Of our fellow citizens. Being called to account
the King discovered that we had some ideas
almost as odd as the tastes of his people; that
1t was not an objectionable offence to eat an
American, but that anybody who chose to
indulge the luxury must pay for it; that an
American sailor, in fact, was like any other
dish, except that he was exceptionally dear.
Well, the sailors had been eaten and the King
promised that they should he paid for. He
gave his bond. Now the bond Of a King of the
Cannibal Islands requires collateral security,
and this was given also, in the form of mort
gage on certain of the Kings property--to
wit, three islands His Majesty is likely to
fail in the obligation Of his bond, and thus to
forfeit to us as holders Of the mortgage por-
ton of his realm. Doubtless the government
will satisfy-if 1t has not already done so--the
claims Of the sailors families and hold the
islands as sufficient equivalent for the
money; for it can hardly be supposed, we
fancy, that the sailors families would care to
own the land thus acquired Could widow
whose husband had been eaten by canni-
balls venture the possibility of similar fate
by settling in the country of the savages?
Let indemnity take any shape but that.
It is possible and desirable that the subject
Of this mortgage may turn the attention of our
people more particularly to the island world of
the Pacific. Worse things might occur than
turning toward these islands that stream of
restlessness, enterprise courage and love Of
romantic adventure that, under the name Of
6libusterism, has often complicated our rela-,
tons with the neighboring Spanish American
Powers. Here lies, in the flush splendor of
primitive nature, an unconquered world. In

The bearing about on the person Of lethai
in the neighboring city Of Brooklyn. A con-
ductor of street Ger and passenger CHANGED
to differ about fifty cent stamp. Which was
the original or rather the real offender we do
not profess to know. What we wish to
chronicle is simply the fact that the passenger,
without provocation further than must be
common every day in every city in the Union,
drew revolver and very narrowly escaped
blowing out the conductors brains. The point
raised by this and similar cases is simple and
easily stated. A certain class move about all
the time armed with pistols. Such men, when
they feel wronged, have simple remedy.
They pull the trigger and the offender is no
more. To be ready to meet this class on
equal terms every man must 60 armed. In
that case every car and every saloon and every
barroom is almost certain every night to be
the scene of murder. If we are not to come to
this, then the law must come down and Sc
verely punish every man who carries on the
person lethal weapons. Every man who car
ries on the person dagger or pistol, not to
speak Of other weapons Is prepared to be
murderer and his deliberate intent ought to
be considered crime. Until the law takes
this view of the case matters will become worse
and worse. In this great country law ought
to be strong enough to render the dagger and
the pistol unnecessary.

The Death Of General Charles G. Haipine.
We publish elsewhere in to-day's HERALD
the full particulars of the death of General
Charles G. Halpine, together with a sketch of
the life of the deceased. This unfortunate
event takes from us in the prime of his years
an accomplished gentleman, genial com
panion and a useful member of the editorial
ments had won for him a good position, socially
and politically, in this city, and reputation ex
tending over the whole country. As facile and
pleasing writer General Halpine had few supe-
riors, and his poems and songs on his favorite
themes-the war for the Union and the wrongs
OF his native country-have in them more
than ordinary merit. At the commencement
of the rebellion General Halpne left his peace
full pursuits, Joined the federal army and served
with distinction in the famous Sixty-ninth
regiment, as we'll as on the stats of Generals
Halleck and Hunter. He left the service with
the full rank of colonel and the brevet rank of
brigadier general. He thus proved on the
field of battle the patriotism which shines out
so conspicuously in the lyrics of Miles
O'Reilly His loss will be very generally
deplored, for both personally and through his
writings he had won many hearts and made
himself universal favorite.
AT the time of his death General Halpine
filled the Office of Register of New York, a
position to which he was elected by the Miles
O'Reilly democracy only a little over year
ago. His family had therefore only just begun
to realize the benefits of this lucrative office,
| as fighting soldiers life, it is well known, is
| not profitable one. AS General Halpine
| leaves a widow and six young children it is
proposed that the duties of the Office shall
| continue to be discharged by Mr.. John Y.
| Savage, the Deputy Register, or that Horace
Greeley shall be nominally appointed Register,
and that the fees of the Office during the bal
ance of the untitled term shall go to the family
| of the deceased. This is a very praiseworthy
proposition, originating, we believe, with
| Horace Greeley HIMSELF and we trust that
| Governor Fenton will see the propriety of
| yielding to the wishes of the lamented Hal
pines friends in the matter of the appointment
which now devolves upon him.

General Banks a Candidate for the rus
sian Mission.

General Banks a Candidate for the Nus-
sian Mission.
We are informed by our Washington CORE
spondent that General Banks is being earnestly
urged for the mission to Russia. A serious
question, indeed, is raised as to the power of
the President to appoint during the recess of
Congress According to the Civil Tenure Of
Office bill the President cannot appoint an
officer to vacancy occurring previous to the
adjournment Of Congress. In this case, how
ever, no vacancy exists, inasmuch as the re-
sgnation of Cassius M. Clay was rendered to
take effect on the nomination and confirmation
of his successor. At all events the appoint
ment of General Banks would be by no means
unsuitable His services as Custom House
officer under President Polk, as member of the
Massachusetts House of Representatives, as
President of the Convention for the revision of
as Congressman, as Speaker of the United
States House of Representatives (after hot
contest of two months), as Governor of Massa-
chusetts, as major general during the late
civil war and as Representative to the
present Congress, have given him an immense
amount of experience as public man. His
prodigious industry has supplied the usual
defects Of an imperfect early education, and
his familiarity with the French language
a very unusual but very desirable accom-
plshment for any American candidate for
foreign diplomatic MISSIONS an additional
claim which General Banks possesses for such
an appointment. Moreover, as chairman for a
long time of the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons, he is particularly well posted on Euro
pean politics and affairs. His intense Ameri-
cansm can be no objection to him at home, or
even in Russia, and he is one of class of our
public men whose occasional exaggerations
would be happily toned down by a temporary
residence abroad. General Banks, if nomi-
mated and confirmed as Minister to Russia,
would doubtless worthily represent our gov
eminent at the Court of st. Petersburg.

Our "Star" Cotton Gin and Condenser
have taken first premiums in every in
stance where entered at Southern Fairs,
competing with the best Gins of the conn
try made by other parties.
at the two great Fairs of the Mechanics
and Agricultural Association, held at New

the premiums offered on Gins and Con-
densers. against competition embracing
all other Gins of any prominence in the
country. Also, at the last two State Fairs
held at st. Louis, Mo-. our Gin and Con-
dcnser took the first premium against a
powerful competition.
The Condenser attachment being new to
most planters, We wish to say that it en-
tirely obviates the necessity of "lint
room," as with it a Gin may be used in the
open air, and the sheet, or bat as it is dis
charged from the Condenser is ready for
the press. Ii effectually cleans the cotton
of sand and dirt and makes the work of
ginning free from the danger of inhaling
the fine particles of lint which otherwise
fill the air.
