dered himself more than month ago. and for whom the
Mayor offered reward of % OOo has been discharged
On the opening of the Court OF Oyer Termner yes
terday morning Mr. j. p. Townsend counsel for Logan
No l. asked Judge Barnard whether any decision had yet
been arrived at the matter OF the application for the
discharge OF his client. Judge Barnard said that Mr.
Townsends letter had been handed to the
ney and that be was awaiting reply Mr.. Townsend
disclamed having written letter to the Court in rea-
ton his client He thought that the letter mentioned
probably emanaed from the counsel of Logan No. The
Judge said he understood that Logan No. had already
been admitted TO bail.
Mr.. Townsend explained that writ Of habeas corpus
in the Of Logan No had been allowed ten days ago
by Judge Cardozo (reurnabe before Judge Barnard),
but the day appointed the hearing had been post
poned. He now asked that his client be discharged.
Judge Barnard replied that there not sufficient evil
dence to hold Logan No and that he would have been
discharged some time since had it not been for some
difference between the DistrctAtorney and his counsel
The confinement Of Logan due TO the point Of ETH
quette raised between the gentlemen mentioned and not
from any fault the part of public officers. Mr. Town
send said he had raised point Of etiquette his only
aim being to have his client honoraby discharged aud
not merely turned out into Mercerst.
The Court then ordered the discharge Of Logan No

formed Of this decision, but upon the bail bond being
given him sign he absolutely refused to append his
signature the document. He seemed TO think that
trap OF kind about to he sprung him, and he
declined to do anything In the matter until he had con-
suited with his counsel Apparently he seems In no
hurry to regain his liberty Nothing been done the

THE DEMOCRATS AND THE COMMISSIONS.
We are likely to hear for a long time much of
the discussion Of what the triumphant demo-
the city. We may safely conclude as to some
of the commissions that they cannot possibly
make them any worse than they are; while as
to others it is equally certain that they cannot
carry US back to the serious misgovernment
the commissions displaced. IF our police sys-
tenn, for instance, is greatly changed it cannot
be restored to the Fernando Wood style with
out provoking a popular indignation that even
Tammany must fear.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1869-12-01

into any othe, department, and that any ono
who undertook to build house or . ship
would soon find tn It fact out to his cost.
As to the question Of subsidiea Mr.. Low ex-
pressed the opinion III t the policy OF England
in substituting lines Of 81 Gamers to he various
parts of the world had D iven her prestige
that was almost insuperableA All the English
laws had been for the benef. OF commerce.,
while there did not seem to b. law "a the
American statute books that did not indict
injury on our commercial INTEREST," And in
that connection he instanced the very serious
injury inflicted on the Pacific Mail Steam ship
Company by the immense government subsidy
granted to the Pacific Railroad.
From this presentation of the facts and con-
siderations bearing on the question of how to
revive our commerce it will be seen that the
special committee which has the subject in
charge has no light or irresponsible duty to
perform. Let US hope that it will discover
means Of reconcling all conflicting interests,
Of restoring business and animation to our
shipyards, where now Gas Mr.. Webb ex-
pressed it, sorrowfully) grass grows; OF Civ
ing US not one but many lines of feet mail
steamers, and Of making our flag once more
familiar on every sea and in every port.

AN UNKNOWN PASSENGER Some explana-
ton is needed Of that forcible expulsion Of
passenger from train on tho New Jersey
Railroad, by which the passenger, as reported,
came to his death. The story is that the train
was stopped on the Hackensack bridge and the
passenger put Off there, and chat he fell into
the river and was drowned. Unless this can
be positively disproved, this seems TO be case
in which tAe authority Of The conductor, ar
authority too often tyrannically used, has
been exercised to an extent that calls for the
attention Of the orimipal authorities

The Cubans ON tho Offensive.

We have heard all along and up to the last
moment through Spanish sources, that the
Cuban insurrection was being rapidly crushed.
To any reasonable person the reports to this
effect appeared incredible, as Spain kept send
ing out more troops and was straining all her
resources against the Cubans, while the latter
not only held their own ground but were in
creasing their power and extending their con-
quests. Has this looked Hike crushing the
Instruction? Does it not show that Spanish
POWER is on its last legs and that the Cubans
are stronger THAI ever?. Indeed, the news
comes to us, and that through Havana and
Spanish hands, that the insurgents have as
sumed the offensive and have force enough to
attack their enemies in their fortified strong
holds. They attacked, fifteen hundred strong,
the fortified town Of San jose, on the Puerto,
Principe and Neuvitas Railroad. The volun-
tecrs who attempted an engagement with them
were captured. II is said in this Spanish
report that the insurgents failed to take the
fort, but it is evident the Spaniards have had
the worst of it. No doubt we shall hear of an
important success when the truth reaches us.
Thus we see that instead of the instruction
being crushed the Cubans are crushing the
Spaniards, and their cause is becoming
stronger every day.

The Hnytien Revolution.

We gave in yesterdays HERALD the
latest news from Hayti, detailing the progress
of the revolution against Salnave From the
information published it will be seen that the
forces Of Salnave are growing daily smaller
and smaller. The insurrectionary forces are
constantly adding to their strength and making
stronger their positions. The only town Of
that of Port au Prince, and there is every
reason to believe that before long this strong
hold Of the Haytien President will succumb to
the victorious march of the rebels. With the
republic in the power Of Chevalier, Brice,
Saget and the other revolutionary leaders,
may we expect an era of law, order and good
government? Will the affairs of the country
be conducted in such o manner as will lead
outsiders to believe that its Industrial re-
sources will be stimulated into healthy
activity? We are afraid not. For over half
q century have intestinal wars disturbed the
island. One leader has only been put down to
give place and power to another, who in
brief term has been displaced for more de-
signing agitator. Any person who has
watched the course of Hayti knows full well
that this has been the history Of her leading
men for years past. What, then, is the
remedy for these evils? Annexation to the
United States. For years have the Haytiens
plodded on, following course which they dis
appointed themselves in believing was self
government. The result is evident. Hayti is
going to decay, her commercial activity stilled,
her industries paralyzed, her agricultural dis
tricts neglected, and the only energy observa-
BILE is the restless intrigues of military officers
whose actions hasten rather than retard her
downfall. From these facts it will be seen
that elf-government by the Haytiens is a
failure, and annexation the only cure for the
evils which afict the Haytien republic.

BRIBERY, Too.-It appears from the charges
made against Barton, a Custom House broker
OF this city, that in addition to the fraudulent
returns, forgeries and perjuries heretofore I'M
earthed in the Custom House, bribery has
been actively employed in corrupting our
revenue officers and in defraudng the Trea-
sury. All these disclosures, however, only
prove more and more forcibly the urgent
necessity Of thorough securing and washing
of the Augean stables. II may be one of the
labors Of Hercules, but 1t must DO carried
through. There can be no payment of the
national debt, no return to specie payments,
while bands Of robbers are engaged in plum
dering the Treasury.
