WhIsIkey In the Courts.

allowed to stand over'-perhaps for the
term, perhaps forever. This is the last action
on the Messmore Kentucky Bourbon case. Ii
anybody wants to know why the case is sal
lowed to stand over" the only answer is that
the defendants are not ready. If anybody
wants to know when the defendants will be
ready we can only say that they would be
great fools to give themselves any inconve-
nience in the premises. II would be bucolic
simplicity on their part to be ready; for If a
man is innocent till he is proved guilty, and is
pretty sure to be proved guilty when tried, and
need not be tried till he Is ready, decent
respect for his relatives and his reputation
ought to keep him in condition Of reverend
ing unreadiness. What is the reason that
whiskey case cannot be tried in our courts like
any other case? What is the reason that
man who is charged with the crime of deiraud-
ing the revenue stands on q different level
from men charged with other and not more
heinous crimes? Does anybody wait the de-
PENDANTS pleasure when the crime is burglary?
Certainly his taste, his convenience, his readi-
ness are not considered with that delicate at
tention that marks the demeanor Of all officials
towards the whiskey men. What Is the rea-
son? We would hardly hint that the whisley
men handle moro money but IL Is point, this
difference, that the President ought to look

State prisons after similar forewarning has
been given to the keepers to set everything In
order for the occasion. 1t is like locking the
stable door after the horse has been stolen.
Moreover, it does not appear that the Superin-
tendent has yet decided upon an inspection,
still more imperasively essential in order to
enforce the provisions Of the laws of 1867, with
reference partition walls, facilities for speedy
egress and other requisite safeguardsir case OF

Die that the lives of thousands of our citizens are
nightly lmperilled by the violation of the laws
applicable to buildings of public character"
If the Superintendent will at once make an in
spection of all cur theatres with view to a
rigid enforcement of these laws he win give
better proofs of competency for his responsible
position than any with which he has hitherto
favored the public.

Inspection of Theatres.

Mr.. Macgregor, Superintendent Of Buildings,
began yesterday an inspection of the city thea
tres and other places OF amusement The
special object of this inspection Is stated to be
the enforcement Of the law of 1867, which pro-
vides that in all buildings ola public character
already erected or hereafter to he built in New
York ''all aisles and passage ways In said
buildings devoted to purposes of amusement
shall be kept free from camp stools, chairs.
sofas and other distractions during any per-
forrnance, service, exhibition, lecture, ball or
any public assemblage, under the penalty of
fifty dollars for each and every violation"
Now this provision is wise, and It has been so
frequently violated that q special inspection Of
theatres and other places of amusement had
become absolutely necessary In order 70 socuto
liz enforcement. But the Superintendent OF

Progress Of the Cuban Revelation.

This morning we give details of the revolu-
ton in Cuba. The revolutionists are 80 nl-
merous and their cause is meeting with such
success that they now claim for themselves bel
ligerent rights. We also have advices to the
effect that the provisional government of Spain
has conferred on Count Balmaseda the full
power to pardon all the insurgents except the
leaders. This is not the usual Spanish method
Of treating with colonial revolters, as witness
the history of Spanish America. There is no
doubt that the mother country recognizes that
there Is little hope Of restoring Cuba to
quiet condition by force of arms, and is now
trying to cajole her into submission to another
long period of taxation and non-representa-
ton.
Cuba can no longer stand this mis-
rule. Her interests now lie In the same drec-
ton with the rest of the New World, and
there Is not a question but the propitious mo-
ment has arrived for her to cut loose from
Europe and commence her march TO that
greatness for which she Is destined by her
splendid position and her natural resources.
There is unquestionably much sympathy for
the movement now agtating the island, not
only among all classes there, but here. Those
who aid the movement in the United States
claim that large amounts of money have been
subscribed and that war material in abundance
will be placed at the disposal of those who,
sympathizing with unfortunate Cuba, take part
from the mainland in her liberation from the
Spanish yoke.
The expatriation Of the leading liberals Of
Cuba during the past fifteen.ycars is now bear
ing its natural fruit. They came to America,
imb.bed new ideas Of government and Of pros
pcyily for Their native land, AMI they Infused
into the United States mlch sympathy for their
political n,T'rins'. Il s9aia, therefore, TO-

Arctic Discovery.

DR.. Hayes will read q paper on this
subject tonight before the American Geo.
graphical and Statistical Society at the
society's rooms in the Cooper Institute. This
will be an occasion of some interest to
all who follow the development Of geographical
science and take pride in the contributions
that American intellect and activity have
already made and promise to make. DR..
Hayes Is now an applicant for national assist
ance in practical and direct way. He
desires the government TO place at his dis
posal one Of the many vessels that IL has now
doing nothing more valuable to the world
than rotting. Such assistance, while it would
be without outlay or expense to the govern
ment, would be Of great Importance scienln-
cally. European governments assist the de-
velopment of science In all directions with a
liberal hand. Hitherto ours has done this less
freely, rather from want Of proper yiow8 IN
The right quarter than from ouy want in the
public mind OF sympathy with iha great
objects OF discovery an cx3l5rlio ion.

We have published an account of the col

General Meade as one vessel was leaving and
the other entering this harbor few nights
since. The accident arose from the fact that
the Marmicn, which was coming in, hoisted q
red light as telegraph signal to the station at
Sandy Hook, which the commander of the
General Meade mstook for one OF the usual
regulation lights on shipboard and 80 shaped
his course, under the deception, as
to run into the Marmion and cut her
down to the waters edge. This Is
most extraordinary occurrence, and the wonder
is that il has not before this been brought more
prominently before the public. It should be
known to the commercial community as well
as to the travelling public whether the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, after having
monopolized nearly the entire land for its net
work Of wires, can, in the plenitude of its
powers and usurpations, grant codes of signals
to be used by vessels at night which are so SINH
lar to the lawful night nautical signals estab-
lished by act OF Congress as to create confusion
and, as false lights usually do, cause disasters
like that above referred to. We learn that the
signal on the Marmion was exhibited by author
ity of or under an understanding with an agent
of the Western Union Company, and hence
the company should be held responsible for tho
amount Of damages resulting from the colli-
sion. 1t is not likely the insurance compa-
MES interested will allow the matter to pass
without legal investigation, otherwise we
might as well abandon all the systems of night
signals established by government for steamers
and sailing vessels and allow commanders to
hoist such lights and Of such colors as they
may fancy and to place them about the rigging
Of their vessels as they may from time to time
think proper. The system established by law
was intended as precaution against accidents
by night at sea, and unless it is vigorously adj
hered to we may prepare to receive soon the
tidings Of some dreadful catastrophe on the
ocean,

Our Lecturcrs-what Shall We 10 with
Thems

This Is the most lecture ridden nation ON
the face of the earth, we do verify believe.
Fer the last twenty or thirty years we have
been afflicted with all kinds of adventurers
from abroad doing out to us either the
rejected lucubrations of the Old World or
hashed up stupidity represented to us as
original compositions. People who could not
command success as lecturers or in any other
capacity in Europe, and actors and actresses
who failed uttsrly in the histrionic art ,shave
come here to weary us at the lecturers desk.
II would almost seem that America has be-
come the ref,tgium peccatorum of this class
of persons, not one-half of whom know any
thing Of the subjects they pretend to discourse
about.
A good lecture upon scientific subject,
emanaiing from scientific intellect, Is Of in
calculable value to the public. Art, illus
trated by an artistic mind, is always charming
and instructive in the lecture room; but good
deal Of the stun which has heretofore bcens
aud we fear is likely to be, poured out in q
food upon us during the winter Is thing not
to be endured. We have had male lecturers
and female lecturers from all quarters of che
world There are women who lecture in
French, some IN German, and some in bad,
very bad English, but few who can claim any
merit from Intelligent people. Some Of these
ladies have already scattered over the South
aud West, where they viii probably fall into
some more suitable occupation, such as dross-.
making or millinery, AMI may become useful
