JUSTICE IN ENoLAND-THE CASE OF OvR-
RESD, GuRNEY 4 Cove learn by cable tele-
gram from London that the directors Of the
bank OF Overend, Gurncy d Co. have been
arrested and held to bail on a charge of fraud
in the management of the affairs Of that bank.
1t will be remembered that Overend, Gurney
h Co. failed short time ago, and that il had
been one of the richest and largest banking
establishments in the world. Its lab ilities
amounted TO millions sterling. The dir ectors
were among the first men of England But
the highest in position there cannot escape the
consequences Of their rascality. With all it's
faults England is apt to do justice upon the
rich as well as upon the poor when the laws
are violated. Here Is an example for us; for,
with all our freedom and admirable institutions,
rich rascals seldom are punished. Corrupt
or weak judges are too often swayed by the
power Of wealth or unscrupulous political
rings. In the impartial execution of the law
we should do well to follow the example Of
England

General Butler In New Character = A
Famous Scene in che White House.
General Ben Butler has come to be almost
universally regarded as fierce, remorseless
and implacable partisan politician, and as
about the last man among the ultra radicals to
make special complimentary social call
upon Andy Johnson. But this opinion can no
longer be entertained; for most conspicuous
among the thousands Of distinguished persons
who called upon the President to pay their
respects on New Years Day was General
Butler. An eyewitness testifes to the fact,
and says that ''the meeting was extremely
cordial on both Sides" that ''Butler grasped
his political foe by both hands, shaking them
with the utmost warmth" that president
Johnson reciprocated heartily" and that
''both stood face to face for at least five
minutes, with clasped hands, chatting and
smiling like the Oldest and closest of friends"
that Buffers eye twinkled, that Johnsons
eyes twinkled likewise; that ''Johnson's face
was all over smiling and happy" and that
Buffers twas radiant as a full moon, beam
ing with mildness, benevolence and affection"
''Behold how pleasant thing it is for men
and brethren to dwell together in unity"
What beautiful illustration is here of General
Grants motto-''Let us have peace!" 1t is a
subject for the finest artist, with pen or pencil,
to set to music or to give to posterity in oil
colors this "Happy New Year. meeting and
greeting between Butler and Johnson-the
great impeacher and the great impeached.
And what is the Interpretation thereof?
It is this: that Butler is not the hor-
rible radical ogre he has been repre-
sented, but an amiable man, who draws
line between his political and his social rela-
ions and between his partisan and his per-
sonal duties. This manly proceeding on his
part shows, too, that he thinks and acts for
himself; that he has mind and will of his
own, and has no fear of the consequences of
acting according to his own judgment. And
there may be still deeper meaning in this
White House New Year cali, which in due
season will be developed.
But where was General Grant meantime
He spent his New Year day in Philadelphia,
and it is generally understood purposely to
avoid New Year call upon the President.
But there is sharply defined question Of
veracity pending between these men, which is
a personal matter, and which must be settled
before there can be any personal courtesies
between them, or at least before General Grant,
soldier, touched in his tenderest point, can
take the initiative. We have, therefore,
peace proposition to submit to General Butler
Reconciled with General Grant in reference
to that affair Of being ''corked up in a bottle"
and reinstated fully in his old kindly personal
relations with Johnson, General Butler is in q
good position to take the part Of mediator
between Grant and Johnson. Let him do SO;
let us see the outgoing and incoming Presi-
dent riding up to the Capitol, like sold Buck"
and ''Old Abe" side by side, and 'let us have
peace"

The little settlement of ClarksvilIe, on our
side of the river at the mouth of the Rio
Grande, has been the scene Of raid from
band of Mexican banditti, involving the mur-
der OF two worthy citizens and the loss Of con-
siderable property, public and private. The
brigands came, overhauled the town, gathered
up their plunder, recrossed the river and dis
appeared. This affair serves to bring into
bold relief the unsettled condition of things
along our whole Mexican border, and the
unsettled condition of Mexico itself, from the
Rio Grande and the Gila down to Yucatan.
Forty years of revolutions and fighting fac
tons have established brigandage as the
favorite pursuit Of the disappointed or dis
banded soldier or politician, the unlucky
gambler and every order of vagrants and
adventurers, especially in the short intervals
when there has been no intestine war for the
Presidency and no common struggle against
foreign invader
When, in 1864, the Council of Notables was
convened in the Mexican capital in behalf of
Macmillan, their first plea in support of the
empire, forced upon the country by Napoleon's
bayonets, was that for forty years Mexico had
been governed by bandits and outlaws, and
that Macmillan had come to give them a
government of law and order This plea, too,
was held as a justification for the Intervention
by many honest people in the United States who
held that reign Of law and order was the para
mount necessity in Mexico, no matter in what
shape or from what quarter it might come.
But Maximilian and his ill-starred empire
have passed away, the republic under Juarez
has taken their place, and the revolutionary
factions opposing him have been very nearly
suppressed; for there are only few local
troubles here and there to disturb the generally
recognized authority of his government.
This general reign of internal peace, how
ever, in throwing numerous professional SOL
diers out Of employment operates to increase
the brigands and brigandage of every State Of
the Mexican confederacy, for the Mexican
soldier is at best but sort of brigand.
Under such state of things the prospect fer
law, order and prosperous industry in Mexico
is not very promising Our Minister, General
Rosecrans, may possibly do something for our
sister republic (such as she is) in the way Of
an enlarged treaty of commercial reciprocities
but this affair at Clarksville and the general
Mexican lawlessness along our border ought
to suggest to diplomat of the broad and COM
prehensive views of General Rosecrans the
turning over a new leaf of manifest destiny"

are open to the crowding population Of the
metropolis, to the great amelioration of the
condition of the people.
We believe this bridge is only the first OF
series. We shall by and by look upon the East
river as only an American Thames or Seine,
and join the cities on its shores by as many
bridges as span those intramural streams. 1t
is proper that our Thames and Seine should
be on rather grander scale than those in
in Europe.

THE New YEAR SToRM.-By the Oldest in
habitant, white, black or copper er-colored, we
doubt whether there can be mentioned more
inclement and inhospitable Alaskan New Year
wintry storm than that Of the opening of 1869
in this metropolis. GAN hail, it was from
Morn to noon, from noon to dewy eve,
under fierce nor'easter. At Washington it
was ''rain, mud and slush !" at Philadelphia it
was rain and sleet; here it was all fine. sharp
cutting sleet; in Boston, Albany, Buffalo and
Chicago II was all notwithstanding facts
which show the gradual sinking Of the iher-
mometer from Washington northward. From
the reports before us the storm extended in
one direction from Southern Virginia and from
Kentucky into the British Possessions, and in
the other at least from the Mississippi river
into the Atlantic ocean. II was one of those
great nor'casters peculiar to the zone Of the
Northern States between the Atlantic and the
Mississippi, the base OF operations Of which is
the Gulf Stream, whence these great Storms
strike in between Cape Hatteras and Fortress
Monroe upon the land. South of Cape Hatteras
they are governed by another system Of storms
to the Gulf Of Mexico.

by the alliance and friendship of the United
States.
This is the result that England more par
ticularly recognizes in her present action.
China is guaranteed by us against unreason-
able wars, and England, accepting the necessi-
ties Of her position, relinquishes gracefully all
intention and desire to use against the Chinese
in the future such ''unfriendly pressure" as she
has never ceased to use since she gained her
first foothold on the Chinese coast. She
assents to the necessity of observing existing
treaty stipulations; promises in any case of
alleged grievance to lay these grievances
honestly and fairly before the Chinese govern
ment proper, and not build up quasi potentates
as her fancy may distate and hold China to
their bogus treaties; and finally agrees that
the British flag shall not be used as a cover for
warlike operations in China without direct
authority from London. These provisions will
prevent the troubles that have always been
between China and the Powers that sought her
shores for commerce, if straightforwardly
acted upon, and it is satisfactory to see that
there is some Power in the earth to force
recognition of the right kind of progress upon
such an old and case-hardened sinner against
all international rights as England has ever
been.
1t will be seen from cable despatch which
we publish this morning, that the success Of the
Chinese mission in London is but an earnest
of the success which will attend it in every
capital Of Europe. The Paris Patrie, in an
editorial yesterday, regards the mission with
favor and speaks hopefully of its success.

spain-The Insurrection in Malaga.

Spalu-Ine 1mSurrecllOn IN MuIaS0s
In this mornings HERALD we publish special
cable dispatches giving fuller details of the
late rising in Malaga. The insurrection seems
to have been more serious than we had been
led to imagine. Happily the rising has been
put down, but not until on the part of the
insurgents four hundred were killed and six
hundred made prisoners. The joint strength
of certain war vessels lying in the harbor and
proved too much for the undisciplined masses,
and after brief and, as far as appears, unequal
struggle tranquility was restored.
One unfortunate circumstance seems to have
taken place while the tumult lasted and,
as appears, Immediately before fire was
opened on the Insurgents. One or tne
boats of the American gunboat Swatara,
having on board an American family,
and while proceeding from the shore to the
ship, was fred into. We call this unfortunate !;
for an insult thus offered to our flag is very
liable to produce in this country a feeling hos
tile to the popular cause in Spain. It is graft
flying to know that General Serrano, without
delay, expressed his regret to our Minister
that such vandalism should have been COM
mitted, assuring him at the same time that the
offenders would be brought to justice. We
shall be glad to learn that there has been
some mistake in the matter, and that the insult
was not Intentional In such case it win be
our Ministeg,s duty to plead for mercy. We
have nothing to gain BY blind and unreason-
ing vengeance. For the present it is needful
that we suspend judgment.
We have at the same time a curious
announcement to the effect that it is the inten
ton of the provisional government to
disarm the citizens throughout the pro-
vinces before the assembling of the Cortes
and, so soon as the disarming is completedand
before the Cortes have had time to act
to place Montpensier on the throne. Serrano,
De Roda and Topete are said to be in favor Of
this step. Prim opposes it, If this rumor has
any foundation in fact it shows that the gov
ernment dread the result of the elections The
people generally are supposed to be in favor
of republic; but they are completely under
the heel of the military power which governs
Spain now with an authority quite as high
handed as In the worst days of the past. If a
coup detat be attempted in favor of Montpen-
sier Prim not joining it, or rather opposing it,
the army is almost certain to be divided, and,
as was the case in ancient Rome and in mod
ern France, the successful general will be left
master Of the situation. 1t will not be won
derful If the dictatorship Of Prim be yet ad-
mitted to be necessity. Spain has not yet
reached the goal 1t is doubtful whether she
is near it,
