The OLD WOMEN OF THE CITIZENS Asso-
cIArIoN.-We publish to-day communication
from Mr.. Peter Cooper, who speaks for the
Citizens Association, or who is the Citizens
Association, on the subject of the currency.
There is nothing new or important in it except
the new dodge put forth in behalf Of the
national banks for making the whole paper
circulation of the country, and, therefore,
national bank notes, a legal tender. The old
women of the Citizens Association have mis-
taken their r6le. They know nothing about
the currency or national finance If they
want 10 be useful and not merely to make an
exhibition Of their vanity there are plenty Of
opportunities in New York. Look, for in
stance, at the daily catalogue Of dreadful
crimes The questions they should consider
are What can be done 10 check the fearful
increase OF crime in the city? Where shall
we look for relief? Who is responsible for
such a state OF things? Let the Citizens As
ISOLATION. drop their nonsense about the cur
rency and give serious attention to the evils at
our doors.

Nor Much OF A TRIUMPH. Tt is said that
the Superintendent Of Police and the Coroner,
are at cross purposes on the Rogers case, be-
cause of the arrest some time ago Of the Super

the Coroner the latest arrest before the verdict
We prophesy that this police triumph will not
absolutely crush the Coroner.

DETECTIVE DEsPERAToN.-t cannot be less
than desperation that has driven the police to
the last sensation in the Rogers murder hunt.
Fancy a policeman and a boatman going
among the sleeping wretches of the station
house and passing from one to another of the
sleepers, and finally picking out two-one for
the murderer and one for his accomplish. By
o mistaken activity the police authorities are
trampling out the few distinct tracks that the
murderer left.

People often ask how it is that the life in
surance companies can afford to pay agents
twenty-five or more per cent for drumming up
people to insure, besides building most costly
places Of business, maintaining expensive es-
Establishments and dividing enormous profits.
1t is simple enough and easily understood. In
the first place money is coming in all the time
from those who insure, while none or scarcely
any goes out for number Of years and until
the insurers, who must be healthy people,
begin to die off Thus they have vast capital
accumulated from other peoples money. This
they may use profitably or not. AT all events
they have plenty Of money drawn from the
pockets of the people. When those taking
out insurance begin to die off the companies
may or may not have the capital to pay de-
mands upon them. If they should have
specialized or great financial crisis should
come they might not have capital enough, and
their institutions would be swamped and the
poor insurance holders cheated. 1t is posi-
BILE the life insurance companies may be flour
ishing upon sound basis; but it is necessary
to know where and on what they stand apd to
throw every safeguard roun an unsuspecting

The SLAYER JUDGES AND ARBITRAToRs.-
The lively discussion in the Senate with refer
ence to the appropriation to carry into effect
the treaty OF 1862 between the United States
and her Britannia Majesty for the suppression
of the African slave trade ended yesterday in
the rejection of Mr.. Patterson's amendment
proposing to reduce that appropriation, and
the adoption of Mr.. Morton's amendment,
leaving the salaries Of the judges and arbitra
tors unchanged, but very justly requiring
their residence at their respective posts as q
condition Of payment. Mr.. Morton commended
that 1t is owing to the presence Of the fleets on
the coast of Africa and to the existence of the
courts in question that there are no cases to
adjudicate. Until the treaty itself shall be
abrogated we are as much bound by its stipu-
lations to pay the expenses Of the courts as of
the fleets. But to carry out the treaty stipu
lations in regard to the courts the judges must
reside at the places where the courts are
established.

A POSTAL TELEGRAPHIo LINE BETWEEN
WASHINGTON, New YORK AND BosToN.-The
decision of the House Committee on Post Offices
and Post Roads to report adversely upon
Washburne's bill to construct postal tele-
graphic line between Washington, New York
and Boston seems to have rested mainly on
the very positive assertion of its impractica-
bilty by the president of the Western Union
Telegraph Company. 1t was Of course to be
expected that Mr.. Orion would oppose the
bill. But we cannot see why more weight
should have been attached to his opinions than
to those in which Mr.. Burt, postmaster of
Boston, and Mr.. Stearns, president Of the
Franklin Telegraph Company, concurred, that
the telegraphic postal system would work well,
and that at Boston, at least, it could be carried
out without any inconvenience to the depart
ment and with great benefit to the people.

WEST POINT, June 10, 1862
The cadet Of the graduating class ended to.
day as the career OF many another class has ended
before It, in the midst OF mingled Joy and sorrow.
To be sure from every division In the barracks
where "grad" regns supreme there have issued
from early morning sounds Of merrment and or
mrth that the bugle call to recitation and the drum
beat to parade have now no more alarms for the
'men OF 1891; that gray coats and pants have been
kicked about and pompooned hats torn to
shreds, tine general gadness has been
for all that tinged with regret
that no attempt was made to conceal It, For old
friends with whom the class have marched side by
side IN review and IN ordinary drill must be left be-
hind, and the green sequestered spots beneath the
dropping trees, where fond words have been
breathed, are not 80 easily forgotten even though
the onset the pursuit. the roar Of victory DER the
routed fOe' be beckoning In the future.
THE LAST PARADE.
The sun had just dropped behind old Fort Put
this evening" leaving the west colored like robins
breast" when the drums beat to parade and the
graduates marched forth with their comrades
for the last time. They carried no rifles. and
wore their side arms only. The corps ala not come
out on the plain at double quick time, as Is their
wont, but marched forward slowly by companies.
When the battalion had formed In line and the usual
movements had been gone through with, the band,
while marching along the 'front.' played "Home.
Sweet Home" and "Auld Lang Syne," the notes
echong from crag to crag along the mountain
ranges and returning with redoubed sweetness to
the plains beneath. Then, as Adjutant Rockwell in
voice broken with emotion gave the command.
"Parade dismissed" the class formed in a body and
marched forward to the 'front.' the band meanwhile
playing ''Out of the Wilderness" and then broke
ranks. And thus ended the career OF the class
OF '69.

latif acknowledging the receipt Of commune
cation addressed to him by that gentleman in the
name Of his constituents. The Emperor, in
his reply, says the government is equally
able to suppress disturbances and grant
liberties; but the concession Of principles and
personal sacrifices are always insufficient in the
presence OF q popular movement. A government
which would preserve its self-respect ought not to
yield to external pressure. The Emperor adds

your constituents, as am convinced that they are

THE PLAINS.

Quiet Secured Upon the Line Of the Pacific
Railroad.
WASHINGTON, June 16, 1869.
Advices have been received by Commissioner Par
ker from Superintendent hoag. dated Lawrence.
Kansas, June IL. to the effect that only two persons
in connection with the railroad west of Sheri-
dan have been killed, and troubles
have occurred for some days past. The
Indians are occasionally seen along the
west line OF the road for 160 miles, but for several
days have not troubled 1t. The difficulties with the
settlers remote from the railroad cannot be learned
with accuracy from this source. There have been
no depredations since the 7th inst. The removal of
troops ~ the frontier may deter further aggressiOns
