The finances Of Spain are in very bad
condition. \ year ego the Spanish Government
sold loan Of fifty millions of dollars for seven
millions, and of this only one-quarter has ever
been paid up; and since then the current reve.
nue. Of Spain has not paid one-half of the current
expenses. Tie people do not pay their taxes,
and the agents and servants OF the Government
are not paid. Among ali the branches of the
public service, the army alone gets any money,
and even its pay is heavily in arrears The last
renforccments sent to Cuba were provided with
transportation by the Cuban slave.traders, and
with ratons by the contributions of Spanish mer.
chants in foreign countries. 1t is not possible to
send any more; and when the Cubans have used
up the Spanish troops now in the island, they will
be safe from further molesation And vet the
Government of the United States is awed by this
bankrupt disorganized power; and Spanish
agents all over the world boast that their menaces
have humbled the naughty pretensons of Amer.
lea. But it will not last. Spain will not always
make war against Cuba; and HAMILTON F.sn will
not always rule the United States. For that let
US be thankful.

Judge WILLIAM STRONG, the recently con.
fmed Justice of the United States Supreme
Court from Pennsylvania, has signed call for a
Convention to be held at Pittsburgh tomorrow,
for the purpose Of securing recognition of
Christianity in the national Constitution. This
act argues a narrowness Of mind in the Judge
incompatible with that regard for justice which
his new position requires. The Constitution is
not intended to be religious instrument and
so long as we have citizens among us of the
Jewish. Aahometan. OF any other religious faith

The Living Things we Breathe.

Great interest has been excited in England
lately by lecture delivered by the emf
nont physicist Prof TYNDALL. The subject
was " Haze and Dust" In a series of very
striking and beautiful experiments no ex.
hibited the effect Of light upon the dust par
tIcles Of the air, and the powerful reflective
properties belonging to them. He showed
how these Particles could be burned out by
heat, and how the atmosphere could also be
cleared Of them by passing it through filter
OF cotton wool, Finally he dwclt upon the
INJURY done 10 the lungs, md consequently
to health, by ordinary inorganic dust; Int
more especially he spoke of the orconic
germs OF many diseases which are supposed
TO find their way into the human systcn ma

An entcrprising but apparently impecu-
NOUS inventor of a patent coffin sends us a
description Of his invention, with the modest re-
quest that we should advertise IL gratuitously.
If he had not been too poor or too nean he
would have probably sent us one Of the
collins for our personal use, with a. request
for certificate of its comfort and durability.
We recommend him to die and get buried in one
himself Immediately. A man who does not know
enough to pay for advertising article he wants
to sell, does not know enough to earn an honest
living.

One Of Mr.. SIDNEY wEBsrERs Spanish

rotary FIsu for refusing to put up the value Of
Mr.. DANfs Cuban bonds, the price Of his I'M

This, being entirely false, is natural allega-
ton for Spanish spy to make. We have no

to have any; and we neither have, nor have had,
nor intend to have any interest, small or large,

The most marked consequence of the Bona
parte affair is that all men, liberal or illiberal,
are dsgusted with it. The most speciOus fun
key in London can plead little or nothing for
criminal so criminally acquitted as Prince Pierre
Napoleon Bonaparte. The Mamelukes of Paris
can at best only attempt to conceal the shame
with which even Imperialism must have
witnessed the wild antics of a Prince. Prince
Pierre murdered Republican that might
have been passed over; but to have made
himself not only ridiculous but disgusting,
this was blunder which Talleyrand would
have called worse than a crime. Nobody in
France, we venture to say, has lost sight of
the striking significance of the fact that while
Frenchmen may be severely punished for even
an accidental killing caused by carelessness,
this rabid Prince of the blood has been al
lowed to 90 free. But there is still more
remarkable test of the judicial crime which
supplemented at Tours the murder of
the Rue d'Auteuil. "VictOr NOir is in
his grave" says the Mdrseilldse; "FOn-
"vielle, GrOusset, ROchefort, Millere Bazeire,
"DOreure, are in prison Pierre Bonaparte is
acquitted" For killing man NJ. Bonaparte
has received-let us say his liberty, which is
practically premium for murder. For speak
ing his mind NJ. RochefOrt has been heavily
fined and imprisoned. TO put the case
more strongly, NJ. Fonvielle has for a
few indecOrous words uttered in Court re-
ceived punishment which has not been
meted out to a prince guilty of murder.
France can make comparisons and draw con-
clusions, and, self-enslaved as she is, is as
sensitive TO disgusts as her rulers Tyranny

Washington, and through Mr.. Benjamin INTRO
duced bill to simplify the payment Oh pen
sions and reduce the fees required OF pen
sioners The bill was good so far a. IL went.
Il did not, however, reach the greatest need
of the acknowledgement payments. Amend
ments to Mr.. Benjamin's bill were offered by
Messrs. Williams, Lawrence, and CreoS'
agreeing in the feature of quarterly payments
After them Mr.. Butler offered an amendment
in the nature Of substitute providing for the
b-monthly payment of pensions through the
Post-Onice. Pension agents protest against the
plan as impracticable. 1t is quite reasonable
TO suppose, however, that the attaches OF the
POst-O Office Department, under whose super
vision Mr.. Buffers plan was matured, are COM
petent to Judge of their own facilities for
carrying it out. Mr.. Benjamin, who spoke III
behalf of the Pension Agents bill recently,
seems by inference to acknowledge the feasibility
of the scheme he opposes, since his opposition
takes the shape of TRADE against the char
acter of Postmasters in general. Mr. Benjamin
says: "As the average number OF P0stmasters
" in each county is about fifteen, spirited
competition will at once arise for the blessed
privilege of swindling the defenseless widow
"and orphans so tcmptingly held out to Them"
And again: "These Postmaster Claim Agents
"will doubtless feel very grateful for the de-
"yising of q scheme whereby stealing Is made
"easy.n This is uncalled for. We have no
reason to suppose that the average character
of Postmasters is jOt lower than that OF
Congressman in general or of Mr.. Benjamin
in particular. The latter gentleman certainly
has done little good to himself or to the cause
of his friends, the Pension Agents, by such
gratuitOus abuse.
We trust that Congress will give the subject
of frequent postal payments fair hearing
and decide in favor of the pensioners Their
interests should be the paramount considera-
ton in the settlement of this question, for
their claims upon the Government are stronger
than those of any other class in its pay; and
when, as in this case, such obligation is con-
nected with probable economy of expense,
there is no excuse for disregarding the double
motive.

VIII the New-YOrk Democratic leaders heed
the lesson of the St. Louis municipal election
of April s. That city has been blessed with
q Common Council which, like that of this
metropolis, sought to misuse the public funds
by appropriating portion of them to the sup
port of Catholic institutions. The Republicans
organized to oppose this conspiracy at its in
ception, and on election day the Protestant
Democrats voting with them aided to change
entirely the religious as well as the political
character of the Council. Further than this
the Legislature of Missouri has adopted a con-
stitutional amendment to be submitted to the
people forever forbidding the appropriation
of public moneys for any sectarian purpose
whatever. We are to have this issue soon
forced on the people of this City and State /;
and with precisely the same RESULT The
meeting yesterday at Tweddle Hall, Albany,
is an indication of the earnestness with which
our citizens have entered upon this
work. 1t was full and enthusiastic; and
its resolutions urging organization in
every school district of the State to resist
future encroachments of the Catholics, give
assurances of positive and practical efforts in
the cause,
