ADMIRAL HOFF.-The assumed friends of
the Cuban cause in Washington are taking
particular pains to throw discredt on the
official reports of Admiral Hoff from Havana,
on the State of affairs in Cuba, and are par
ticularly excited because he has told some
truths unpalatable to them. We have care
fully watched these reports for some time past,
and have been particularly gratified to notice
their constant agreement with the facts of the
movements in Cuba, as made known to us from
our voluminous correspondence, our exchanges
and the multitudinous supplies of information
which pour in upon us from all sources. 1t is
but just to the gallant Admiral to say
that our conclusion, from the perusal Of
his reports and constant study Of
developments in Cuba, is that he Is
eminently fair minded man and just to all
parties. If the Cuban sympathizers are not
satisfied because he truthfully reports the dis
sensions existing among them and the conse-
quent weakness of their operations, they can
cure the evil by healing their disagreements
and presenting unity of organization which
shall entitle them to respect. They cannot
help their cause by abusing the true friends
who tell them of their errors.

The Fever Ship James Foster, Jr.

The special committee of the Commissioners
of Emigration having in charge the investiga-
ton of the brutalities and hardships to which
the passengers of the ship James Foster, Jr.,
were subjected on voyage from Liverpool to
this port last winter, have submitted report
of their labors, which we publish in another
column. This report will be found interesting
mitted by committees, whether Congressional,
legislative or local, and in which az rule the
frauds, wrongs or injustices complained of
are ''whitewashed" and toned down, or the
parties charged are completely exonerated.
1t is clear, moderate and firm in Its discrimi-
nations and censures, and places the respon-
sibility where it undoubtedly belongs-upon the
owners and agents of the vessel, and upon
the emigration officer at Liverpool, whose
duty it is to inspect the capacity, accommoda-
tons and supplies of emigrant ships leaving
that port, as well as to see that efficient
officers and crews are on board. little more
legislation on this subject, and enforcement of
the laws when enacted, would be beneficial
both in this country and Europe, and the sug-
gestions Of the committee in this respect
should not be disregarded
The committee might have gone further,
however, by investigating the action of the
Health Officer of this port in connection with
this vessel. An official whose sole duty it is
to guard against and prevent the spread Of
contagion from infected ships among our citi-
zens cannot be held irresponsible and nom
liable to censure when, as in the case Of the
James Foster, Jr., he allows emigrants and
crew to leave the vessel and mingle with
large and constantly moving population, who
might spread an infectious disease through out
the entire country

Coal BULLs.-we have bulls in government
stocks, fancy stocks, regular stocks, bank
stocks and all other kinds of stock that come
up in Wall and Broad streets. But the mean
est and most desperate of all bulls are the coal
bulls who erect their burly heads about this
time every year and butt out in the shape Of a
strike among the miners. This humbug has
lasted long enough. The cheat Is too trans
parent, and II the coal operators wish to pre-
serve their regulations for fair dealing and
honesty they must reform tks'r conduct
altogether.

~ GERMAN ELEMENT IN THE VEST
w. no,;ce that the Young Mems Library Asso-

bv large majority to keep their library open
on Sundays. This is movement In the right
direction, and takes the advance OF one OF
similar character commenced in Boston some
time ago, but probably suppressed as contrary
to Puritanical notions. The Milwaukee asso-
citation Is composed mostly Of German citizens,
who, famous as they are for their love Of Sab
bath day recreations as a class, have taken
this method Of passing the day in sensible
and rational manner.

SPECIE CURRENCY IN THE New DOMINION
Canada rivals China In its absorption Of silver
coin, while the United States can boast Of no
more specie currency than is barely enough TO
test the capacity d ggr dssa Secretary Of the
Treasury. Mr.. Boutwell, surely ought to be
equal to the management Of at least what little
hard money we have. The New Dsgpinion has
so much as hardly to know what to do with 1t.
A member Of the House of Commons has just
urged that the government should pass bill
making United States or British currency the
standard In the Dominion. But his motion
was withdrawn in consequence Of the objection
of another member, who said that France,
England and the United States would probably
make uniform currency on the basis OF the
English sovereign, and he thought II best not
to make any change until other countries shall
come to definite understanding In the matter.

BILE of moderating the arrogance aud tyranny

porations. The courts are not called upon in
vain. Only short time since an obstreperous
policeman had q thousand dollars damages
given against him. Now o telegraph company
has six thousand dollars damages against IL
for failure to deliver message. Within few
days damages have been given against two
city railroad companies.

THE WHIPPING Posi- IN DELAwARE.-It

if they were wanted to roast petty criminals.

union OF the denomination, bringing into the
fold the still seeding bodies known as United
Presbyterians, Reformed Presbyterians, Re
formed Dutch and the Cumberland Presby-
terians under one General Assembly. This
will pave the way for further operations of the
Evangelical Alliance, which seeks to unite the
Episcopal, Methodist, Baptist and Presby-
terrain denominations in a general assault on
the world, the flesh and the devil. Such
combination would give more pertinent
answer to the question of the failure of Pro-
testantism than all the dogmatic assurances
that the three hundred Presbyterian preachers
and nine hundred laymen who are to meet
here this week could possibly convey. In the
meantime we recommend them to bear in mind
during their discussions the requirements of
modern thought, under the stimulus of steam
and electricity.
These potent influences are day exhibit
ing their power on every Church, Christian or
Pagan, throughout the world. Rome finds 1t
necessary to convoke q general council; the
Jews are agitated with reformers in their
midst in every land, who seek to assimilate
Mosaic doctrine with the needs of modern
times the new school Mohammedans concede
new privileges to their Christian subjects the
Pundits of India are startled by the translation
and publication of their sacred Rig Veda by
English teachers and its effect upon their doc
trines and China trembles with the prospect
of the return of the Burlingame mission posi-
bly, imbued with new religious views and
surely reinforced in it's old doubts. In proper
ton as the Protestant denominations prove
their ability to meet the requirements Of mo-
dern thought will they give satisfactory
reply to the probing question, Is Professionalism
a failure? Steam and electricity are produc-
ing mental activity everywhere, which will re-
quire something more than sntiquated dogmas
aud musty rules; but above all will it require
charity, which vaunteth not itself aud is not
pulled up.

know that under Mr.. Boutwell, they must keep

President Grant ON Reconstruction.

The proclamation of President Grant nam
ing the 9th of July next as the day for sub
hitting the new constitution of Virginia to
the electors of that State for ratification or re-
lection, the main features of which appeared in
our columns yesterday, is published IN ertenso
in the HERALD to-day. The President defines
the instrument as that adopted by the Rich
mond Convention in the year 1867. and tho
voters registered at the date Of submission ara
to cast their ballots ''for" or against the
constitution" according to their conviction Of
its adaptability to present circumstances or
otherwise. Separate votes are to be given
on the citizen disqualification and test oath
clauses embraced in the constitution, each
person approving or condemning one or both
of these provisions as he deems best in the
exercise of his right.
The President bases his authority for this
attempt at State reconstruction ON the act Of
Congress, passed on the 10th Of April last, re-
citing in full the fourth clause of section one,
article three, in which the exceptional cases
are designated, as well as the manner in which
they may be restored to the franchise. In the
seventh section of the third article the test
oath, which is to be administered to the per-
sons chosen for Office, from Governor down to
inspector of tobacco or clerk Of q court-pro-
vided he shall have been engaged in insurrec-
ton or rebellion against the Union, or given
''aid or comfort" to the. enemy, or, as it ap-
pears, been accused Of such offences-is set
forth, and 1t must be confessed that 1t is pa
triotically stringent and savors vastly of gum
powder, martial law and exclusion. 1t re-
mains to be seen how 1t will work.
NAPOLEoN's POSITION AND PROMISES.
Paris police continue to dispense political meet
ings by force, citizen disturbances prevail, and

ton of the army. When theelections are over
