RECIPROCITY.

The Chicago Post, falsely assuming that tho
New-York Chamber of Commerce is Protec-
ZIONIST body, and that the advocates of Protec-
ton are the champions Of what is called Reel
procity with Canada, thus delivers itself:
"CANADL,N REcIPRoCIrY.-The monOposts Of New

The highly significant news which our cor
respondents send us from Cuba ought to settle
mt once any question as to the status OF Span
ish authority in that island. Indeed, there Is
no legitimate authority unless it be found with
the democratic government established by the
Instruction. In word Cespedes survives,
and Dulce has fed. What remains on the
Spanish side is an anarchy with organs and bay
onets. Gems. Dulce and Mena have both
literally confessed that the cause of the
Spaniards has failed disastrously. In his
speech to the armed mob, reported in our
Havana letter, the late Captain-General did,
for once even bravely and scornfully meet full
in the face a danger which it may be thought
his former political timorousness aroused. But
it is likewise clear that the Captain-G General
had from the beginning to deal with lost
cause, aud soldiery effectually demoralized by
his predecessor Lersundi. All kinds of yaga-
ries as to a Government are reported of the
anarchists, who propose to take hold of the
present wreck of Spanish prestige on the island,
and set up an apology for authority. Several
of a set Of prominent candidates for trium-
virate are slave-traders, and it is even said
that a reaction has begun in favor of
monarchy. What will most probably be
decided before long will be the question whether
| Cuba dc facto belongs to the pirate crew at
! Havana, or the Republicans under Cespedes.
| The action of the Cuban Minister has opened
up that question at Washington, and it is now
more or less problem whether there is any
| Government in Cuba to which we can send IA
representative, unless it be at GuaimarO.
Doubtless Spain would be glad to sell out this
day and Cuba would be as unwilling to be
sold. The sure process of natural events will
determine before long the fate of Cuba, and
we may look upon the action of Chilli, Peru,
and now Buenos Ayres. in recognizing the
patriot cause as three very threatening, and
at the same time very promising, steps to
that end.

MONEY MIXES THE MAYOR CO.


Mayor Halls promises of what he would do

likes are certainly magnificent. There is really
nothing that we can think of in the way of
city improvements that we cannot have on the
easy terms of sending in TO his Honor the
Mayor an unlimited supply of blank checks,
with responsible signatures, for him 10 I'll up
as his needs require. Every street shall be
paved with whatever pavement is best, or,
what is the main thing the most expensive.
The whole city shall be illuminated with some
species of gas, 10 be invented TO order, that
shall make the streets and our pockets equally
light All the rotten piers and wharvcs that
now disgrace the city are To be rebuilt of
stone, if any can be found dear enough. We
are TO have OvcTground railroads and under
ground railroads, unless there should prove TO
he no stealing in these enterprises, in which
case we must even stick it through the mud
and mirc on foot, or go in cattle-pcns
euphemistically called horse-cars to our homes
and houses as we have done for the last gen

off the midland money-under the earth, and
Street Commissioners to carry off the money

scale of expense, to keep our Reals and Reddys

they are sentenced. In short, Oakley, or rs he

Of his mayoralty thus far has been
the persistent asking for more, we
don't know why we can't say, provided
puns are ever allowable, that his last
Message is new edition of MOre's Utopia.
But we will not insist on this, out Of respect
to the pure memory of Sir Thomas, whose
name ought mover to be mentioned within hear
ing of the City Hall. We fear that the public
confidence in our honorable MayOr-and, sure,
he is an honorable man-is not sufficiently great
to make it hy any means certain that his
modest request to stand and deliver will be
complied with. Those who know tho Mayor
personally, and are not prevented by that
familiarity from having great admiration for
him, assure us that lie is n most scholarly,
accomplished, and agreeable gentleman ; but so
was Claude Duval yet when he stopped the
coach full of London ladies, and opened the
door with jaunty bow, and helped them grace
fully out and begged them to pace corant
with him on the grass, everybody remembers
how the ladies had to open their purses and
pay the piper. If we dance to Mayor Halls
piping we shall have to pour out our gold as
tho ladies did theirs TO the other bighwayman.
We should like to dance. we should like to
have all the comforts and conveniences that
Mayor Hall promises us, but we are burnt

nav out every wear more money in proportion
than any city in the world, to get the very
things Mr. Hall tells us we need, and the result
is that we do not even get the common decen-
cies of life Thieves collect the money and
thieves spend it, and Mayor Hall-not, we admit,
as Mayor, but, deserving his official business,
and acting as guide and fugleman to the
thieves in Albany-gave such help to the men
whom we pay to rob us as they never
could have hoped to have without him.
Mayor Hall may as well know first as last
that the people of this city, while they are
robbed without mercy, are robbed with their
eyes wide open. The city fathers-in-law whom
Mr.. Hall so gracefully leads to their prey do
not even go through the farce of putting their
hands over our eyes while they empty our
pockets. And to do them justice-for even
they ought not to be condemned without a
hearing-they make no pretenses to honesty !;
they never declare themselves innocent. Mr..
Hall may as well follow their brazen example.
He makes nothing by pretending that he
does MT know who stole our money, or by
pointing over his shoulder at the innocent
party to cover the flight of the guilty one We
don't trust him, for all his fine speeches. We
read his oily message and deliberately button
our pocket tighter than ever.

these reports have been in conspiracy with

THE CHURCH ELL And TIE LoRDS.


Amid the healthful movement Of British
politics the institution of the Lords maintains
a self-possessed petrfactiOn. It IS a rock in
the agitation of reforms. Currents of ideas
sweep by it and round it, sometimes over it,
but dislodge not one of the tribe Of the barna-
cles. Many steaming reform has been caught
between the Douvre crags of the Lords spiritual
and temporal, and had to be picked out again
and set aAoat with diligent labor. But the
rock though still hard enough TO progress, is
not the giant obstacle it was. BY and by the
inrushing tide of free government will wear
away this bulwark of the British Constitution,
and indeed much of what definitely remains
of that Constitution itself, always supposing
that it has descrbabe existence. The Lords,
however, exist by a sovereign right, aspositively
mOnarchcal and partahng of the nature of
prerogative as anything in the clumsy economy
by which the Britons carry on a State. They
are the monarchy; the Commons are the Re-
public. Lord Brougham adopted a view Of
Cicero when he said that government was the
best which had the three-fOld character of
being democratic, aristOcratic, and monarchical.
When the Lords make q stand against the
Commons in the name of all that is traditional,
Irresponsible unpopular, and unelected. we see
the beauty of the working of this tripartte
alliance-we see where Cicero miscalculated,
and how Lord BrOugham's three good things,
like brandy and water, can spoil each other.
We perceive that an immOvable aristOcracy
which resists a free Commons with All urgent
and vigorous people back of them is not a no.
mOgeneOus institution. We see ourselves treated
to protest in behalf of what is Ciiete, and,
strictly speaking outrageous, against such a
righteous bill as that disestablshing the enor-
nous absurdity of the Irish Church,
This bill has gone through all stages OF the
process of refining which makes British legis-
latiOn the fear and wonder of the world. The
stubborn and even stupid Orange interest of
Ireland has opposed it with bigOtry. Vain effort
was made to retain for the church its glebe
houses without purchase, and secure its so
called private endOwments, including royal
grants, to a remote period back, when the
ecclesiastics of the sO-called Protestant Church
were Catholics. The reform majority swept
over these motions like tide Nothing was
left to the party of Establishment except to
secure thrifty terms of surrender and the sub
sequent history of the bill is a parliamentary
chatter for these terms, sometimes interrupted
by fanatic demand for the lost estate of
oppression. But every day of opposition has
only served to confirm the pertinacity and
resolution of the reform itself. AS it stands,

Some time it may occur to good citizens
generally at dinner assembled to toast the
town they celebrate as well rs the dag. A
town which can celebrate its one hundrcdh
and fftieth anniversary with numbers and
rejoicing must have more than OF
binary reason to congratulate itself on
being old. Eight thousand people, crowds
of them from other cities at all points of the
compass, came together yesterday to do
honor to the town of Derry in New-Hamp-
shire. The occasion was improved by speeches
from many men, sometimes given 10
speech-making on larger platforms, who were
born or resident in Derry. Seven cities,
it was said claimed one great man. Who
knows how many men may yet lay claim 10
Derry Certain it is that the hardy, virtues Of
her original ScOtch-Irish population have borne
fruitful results, and that many sons rose up
Yesterday to do her honor.

The striking exhibit of the business on inc
Atlantic Cable, which we print III anot"ci 0Oi-
umn, will attract attention. speciaHy III oon'o
ouepce of the revelations it makes concerning
tho infinite advantage to business OF JudlclOus

question of profts. When the Cable was
onorod coo were charged for each
,nhssoce of ten words, and under that
tariff an average daily business of f5Oj was
transacted After three months trial the rates
were reduced precisely one-half. The Cable
was still able to do all the business that offered,
and at the reduced price the daily re-
ceipts rose to G579. After years trial
another reduction of almost one-half was made,
and message of ten words was transmitted
for Go 5s. With charges thus only one-iourth
of what they were at the outset the daily re-
Ceipts still rose, now averaging 1850 Oh INC
first of September last the charges were re-
duced to G3 U.s. 3D., about One-sixth OF the on
ginal tariff, and under this rate the
daily receipts rose to an average Oh
ESQ more than at the price charged when inc
Cable began operations. Ten days ago the
Comnauy made one more reduction. For what,
at the outset, they charged E2O, they now
charge go. At one tenth the original rates the
figures printed elsewhere fully warrant the pre-
diction that their receipts and profits will rise
at least ten per cent above tho average OF
any previous year or month. 1t is the lesson
of cheap postage over again; and we venture
70 recommend a consideration of its interest

companies, express companies, and our excel
