Tho Projected salt Water System.

Within the program me presented by the per-
sons who propose the use of salt water instead Of
Croton for cxtinguishing fires and cleaning the
streets there is possible great city improve
ment and some great benefits TO the people at
large. Certainly we cannot too carefully guard
against such calamity as the actual want of
water in this great city. Are we safe against
such possibility Suppose at once an
exceptional season Of drought and unusual
demands upon the water, and we should not
only be put to the necessity of forbidding the
use Of water for ordinary purposes, but we
might be compelled to limit its use for even
domestic purposes. We must bear in mind
that the supply of our water does not increase
year by year, and that the demand for it does
steadily and very greatly increase. With a
population such as we shall have on this island
in ten years we shall be compelled to get our
water from other sources than the Croton and
its tributaries, unless in the meantime we
shall have done what we may to enable us to
keep tho Croton especially for use in the
house. The plan Of underlying the
city with great conduits, and then Of
drawing the water by vacuum, to a
reservoir at some central point has no
apparent difficulty, and the estimated expense
is triae by comparison with the bene-
fits promised. If the idea be extended
from this to furnishing power BY which the
water can be driven with force through hose
at any part Of the city, we shall have not only
an economy in the saving Of FIRE engines, but
the advantage that the engine will always be
at the corner with steam up With water so
abundant that the streets may be flooded every
summers morning they cannot accumulate the
9th from which we suffer at certain seasons.
The abundant wetting Of the streets In our hot
season with salt water will prevent that sitting
heat of the air that makes our city an oven in
the August day, for the salt thus vaporized In
the air will not be liable to the objections
urged against the casting Of solid salt on the

The Gold Exchange Trouble.

The real money changers have had their
eyes opened to tho necessity of cutting loose
from the gamblers: hence the difficulty Of set-
ting in motion again the wheels Of the gold
dealing machinery. On the one side we see
the substantial men-the men who deal in coin
as a merchandise-wh really buy and sell the
article. They want safe and practicable plan
of accommodating the differences between
themselves and other houses without their
being put to the labor Of handling the material
dozen times over. But it is in this effort of
the real trader to avoid handling the metal that
the gambler has his origin. Any transaction
that is done on paper he is equal to. So long
as the dealers only exchange piece Of paper,
marked with the indebtedness of one or
another, he is their peer. But the moment
that transaction in gold must be accompanied
with the material fact of delivery of the
article he is done for. Now the theory OF the
Clearing House is that it is to calculate the diff
ferences Of series Of sales so that the smallest
possible amount Of coin may have to be handled.
Its abuse is that it facilitates the transactions
On paper; and because it is 50 subject to this
abuse, because it does not seem possible to
have it separated from this abuse, the real
traders desire to be rid of it. But on the
other side are the speculative gentlemen.
They hare no gold-though their checks,
If not followed up too far and too fast
may be ''good" for any amount they choose
to buy. They come down town at ten
A. NJ. and fud gold at 1870. They
have little fancy that something
is to happen in half an hour that will
make it worth 1856. They buy at 100, and
if the gold rises to 1876 they get the difference
between thirty and thirty-fve on each dollar Of
the amount; and if it falls to twenty-nne they
pay the difference. Their transaction is the one
or the five cents difference on each dollar, for
they never held the amount named in the sale,
whether it were for ten thousand or ten mil
lion dollars. For these gentlemen a gold
clearing house is vital air. They cannot have
a vigorous existence without it, and they will
not have it voted out of being, and as it comes
to voting, these speculative gentlemen, who are
much more numerous than the others, will have
their way, or in the words of Thursdays dis
cussion ''the parties without property will
force rules and regulations upon the parties
who have property" What will be the ultimate
effect? The dealers will eventually have q
system of their own and will leave the anan-
ciers of fictitious transactions to themselves,
and the people at large will know how to dis
tinguish between the two.

spnin-The Republican Movement.

Our news from Spain is pregnant with inte-
rest The republicans in the south, in the east,
and, indeed, all over the country have made
another effort It is difficult to believe that
this last movement was not well concerted,
that it was not meant to be simultaneous and
to succeed. In Malaga, the most important
city in the south of Spain, and in Valencia,
one of the two great cities on the east coast,
the republican outburst has been vigorous and
well sustained. If anything were wanted to
convince us that the movement was intended
to be serious and that the government so
regarded it, we should find the needed evidence
in the fact that Madrid is virtually in state
pieces of artillery before the city mean some
thing True we have been told that the insur-
gents had offered to come to terms and that
the government would hear Of nothing but
absolute surrender. This only proves that at
Madrid the government has power enough to
suppress the rebellion. 1t does not convince
us that Spain is satisfied with the administra-
ton of Prim, Serrano and the rest. Valencia,
according to latest accounts, was still in the
hands of the insurgents, although they were
not unwilling to surrender on reasonable
terms. The more prominent republicans have
all found it necessary to fee from the country.
CASTELAR, is said to be In Portugal and
Pierrad is in France. The gravity of
the situation is illustrated by the
fact that the republican members have
deliberately absented tn emselves from the
meetings Of the Cortes They may be in the
capital, and it is not impossible that they may
be arrested; but the fact will still remain-the
party calling itself republican is not in sympa-
thy with the government. That party is
strong, and, when we add to it the defeated
but still hopeful Carlists and the not despairing
Isabellinos, we can form some idea of the
actual condition of Spain. The government,
it is true, still has the army on which to lean
but with the Carlists. the Isabellinos and the
republicans all influencing it at various points,
and with more or less force, the army cannot
The one thing which is wanted to make the
Spanish revolution hopeful is revolution in
the army. If the army could only break loose
and ally itself with the people we should cease
to have any difficulty in believing in the future
Of one of the grandest countries of Europe.
Surely there is future for Spain. She cannot
lie in the dust forever. But when will the

The news which we published in yesterdays
HERALD from our correspondents in Cuba pre-
sents anything but fattering condition Of
affairs. From one correspondent we learn that
the first instalment of troops from the PENN
sula had arrived, but the discipline of the
men does not lead to the belief that successful
results may be anticipated from their opera
tions; from second we are informed that the
Cuban people anticipate war Of extermina-
ton, and consequently live ia continual dread
Of the Spaniards; and from third we perceive
that crueltles are still practised, and that the
inhabitants Of the large cities and towns are
fleeing to the mountains for safety. It is
evident, therefore, from these reports that the
condition of the island is not improving, and
loyalty to Spanish rule is becoming daily
more and more remote. We hear nothing
more Of Jordan's alleged treachery. He still
occupies the same high position in the revolu-
tionary forces that he has filed for so long q
time with so much ability. The little game of
attempting to throw dishonor on his loyalty by
Spanish sympathzers has played itself out
That the revolutionists are able to hold the
advantages they have already acquired with
out aid from outside is something which those
who look forward to Cuban Independence have
o right to feel proud Of Troubles at home may
compel the Spaniards to abandon the idea Of
sending more troops to this side Of the Allan
tic. SPANS present difficulty at home is, or
should prove, Cuba's opportunity, and that
Cespedes and his friends will take advantage
of it there is no reason to fear.

General Grant on III. i Gold Ring.


Mr.. Robert Bonner, of the New York Ledger,
through friendly letter to General Grant,
suggesting the propriety of brief denial over
his own signature of all foreknowledge Of the
late Wall street ''corner" on gold, has drawn
from the General the following reply
no,,,r oo.,. WA SCI 2, O. Oct. 49, 1859.

do with the late gold excitement in New York city
than yourself or any other innocent party, except
that ordered the sale OF gold to break the ring

action. II the SPECTATORS had been successful you
would never have heard OF any one connected with
the administration as being connected with the

out exercising Judgment to the prOprety OF
writing 1t. but submit 1t to your Judgment,
This is perfectly satisfactory and conclusive.
1t was not needed, however, for the vindica-
ton of General Grant His order to sell those
four millions of gold on that fatal Friday
to the ring was in itself a complete refutation
of all the insinuations of his foreknowledge Of
or completely in the pool. Such, however, was
the use made of Wall street rumors and inven-
tons in the late political contests in Penn
sylvania and Ohio that very few men in the
position Of General Grant could have refrained
from an indignant outbreak on the spot. We
dare say that the General was appealed to by
many friends to put an extinguisher upon these
aforesaid calumnies, but that he had resolved
to let his action in the matter stand as his
answer, until vanquished by the winning ways
of Bonner. We approve the judgment of
Bonner, that the Generals letter is too good
to be kept a secret. It's publication will not
hurt the Ledger, and in the writer's opinion
that the late gold pool was "a most disrepu-
table transaction" which called upon him
TO knock it in the head, all honest men will
concur.

City POIittcs--The TnmmRuy Judicial and
Senatorial States.
The great political suspense on two of the
Tammany slates-those of the judiciary and
the Senate-is at last over Anxious candidates
will draw long breath of relief on seeing their
names slated, or, with what resolution they
may call to their aid, nerve themselves to
bear their disappointments, and perhaps pre-
pare for the final arbitrament of contest
through the ballot box. Tammany's policy Of
mastery inactivity, like every other thing de-
pendent upon outside influences, had its limit.
The Fabian policy, while it may be good for a
time, will never win battles. The masked
battery must at the proper moment be brought
into play or it will be carried by the enemy
and put to deadly use in the wrong quarter.
At the right time, according to its own
calculations, Tammany has showed its
hand, and leaves it optional with its
opponents to play or throw up the
sponge. The ticket so far is very strong
one, and will no doubt commend itself to a
large majority of the voters of the city. That
majority will carry it through the ordeal Of the
coming November election. The judiciary

absence of Judge Clerke's name for renomina-
ton to the Supreme Courts all that the most
fastidious or captious could desire under the
circumstances. OF course we do not include

be worthily filed by Judge Brady, at pre-
sent of the Common Pleas. In the Superior
Court Judges McCunn and Friedman are
renominated, and for the third vacancy there
are three candidates in the feld-this being
the only judicial vacancy for which a
nomination has not been made. Judge
Brady does not resign his position in
the Common Pleas at present, but will
leave it at the commencement Of the new
year within the patronage Of the Cover
nor. For the other vacancy in the Common
Pleas, to be left by Judge Barrett, Justice
Frederick w. Loew is on the Tammany slate.

THE IRoN-CLAp OATH.-Some needed ligat
is thrown upon the appointments made by
General Canby, In Virginia, through the
inquiries Of HERALD correspondent into the
Mosby-Boyd quarrel, and also upon the great
abuse to which the 'ron-clad" oath leads.
This oath can be taken by any Northern man,
SO the plan is for Northern men to take the
oath, sign the papers and sell out. The oath
taker gets Fixed sum, and the man who fills
the Office must make his fees pay him, and do
the duties. Thus the persons who stand on
Canbys records as occupying certain offices
are not the persons In office, and the object
Of the oath IL defeated. This was one OF the
