Mr.. Seward called on the Common Council
men yesterday, and in the course OF brief
speech explained why he had entertained,
"duTing the sectional contentious and conflicts
Through which we have lately passed" the
seeming optimism" that the difficulty would
abe over in 90 days" The present explana-
ton, as reported, is as singular as the old deu-
sion, and one is tempted to ask, after the man
ner of Byron to Southcy, "Won't you please
explain your explanation If we understand
Mr.. Seward and we are not at all assured we
do, he meant to say that New York City is the
center of the wOrld-the New World at any
rate-and that toward this "center of civiliza-
ton" the whole nation. including Alaska, of
course, gravitates with irresistible force.

The mild lecture which The London Times
reads to the heir-apparent of the British throne
will, we trust, be long laid to heart by that
amiable Prince. Being called TO the witness
stand is not the most satisfactory OF preiudes
to being called to the throne, aud 1t
needs no great stretch of imagination to per-
ceive how His Royal Higlness has escaped
the worst consequences of such scandal as
might have placed his own claims to the throne
upon trial with Lady Moidaunts reputation.
In these days of Republican ideas Bntons are
more sensitive as to the character Of Princes
than they were in the glorious days OF the
Georges. Divinity used to hedge king, but
now a great deal OF law fences the subject.
The Princes word as given upon the witness
stand. will pass for much with good EuglISh-

4 ST1TE OE MURDER.

Count Valmaseda must have perfected at
last his claims to the Captain Generalship, that
is to say the Butcher Generalship of Cuba, in
the ewes of that murderous body of his ad-
mirers. the Volunteers of Havana Lately
twenty-five men, suspected of conspiring with
the Cubans in the field, were, without plea or
trial. assassinated wholesale in Santiago do
Cuba. The bloodthrsty wretch under whom
this deed was done bore the name of Boet,
and is a veteran follower and 1atterer of the
Gessler who commands the Eastern District of
Cuba. Undoubtedly this butchery was COM
mitted under the orders of Gen. Bias Villate,
who, though q stupid man, seems to have
risen by degrees of barbarity to be a lieuten-
ant-general in the Spanish service, and to be
Infamous as Count Valmaseda.
For the honor of Spain we could wish that
the tiger Valmaseda, as his intense haters call
him, were her only assassin. Unhappily,
however if we were to take from
the Spanish army as constituted all its men of
massacre, we apprehend that little of the rank
and file, and perhaps none of itsleaders, would
be left to do business in Cuba. Valmaseda
may be equaled-he is certainly not surpassed
by Gen. Caballero de Rodas, who stamped out, to
borrow his own idea, so many of the Republi-
cans of Cadiz. Gen. Goyeneche must be a
promising officer since in one of his latest dis
patches he parades the fact that he shoots
every prisoner he takes Gen. POrtillo, who
appears to be responsible for the late shooting
of sixty prisoners, has also claims to the Cap
tain Generalship but the contest for that
bad eminence assuredly lies between Valma-
soda, who shoots all Cubans, and de Rodas,
who orders all Cubans to be shot.
SO common is the regular news of massacre
received from Cuba, that it has ceased TO sur
prise. 1t is only too true. None the less, how
eyer is it in its essence horrible and cruel.
Were we to sum up the assassinations or rather
tLs uassacres. of prisoners and unarmed per

For the ninety time ministerial crisis
is imminent in Spain, and for perhaps the
tenth, Admiral TOpete threatens bis resigpa
ton. Such is the resultant perhaps not 80
calamitous a result as the Topete party con.
ceive it-of Prim's announcement that their
candidate, Montpensier, is opposed by the en-
tire ministry, excepting Topete himself. Wheth-
er this indicates a rise of Republican stock 10
held in the hands Of Prim, or of some candi-
dature preferable to that of Montpensier, it
would be worse than useless to speculate. Spain
is not exactly without form and void, but GER
tainly she is the enigma of nations.

The trial of ex-Judge Fullerton, long and
often deferred, was begun yesterday i'll the
United States Circuit Court. The clear concise
history of the alleged conspiracy as related by
Mr.. b. F. Tracey in the opening argument
will be read with equal interest and regret.
1t is a painful picture which he draws of
human depravity and official ignorance and
neglect; and it is to be hoped, for the credit
of humanity and the public interests, that it has
much of the exaggeration usual in such orations.
We are glad that the trial has finally begun,
and shall be better satisfied when the end is
reached and Justice is done.

Cubans, has addressed report to the Junta,
the most essential portions of which we print
elsewhere. 1t is highly interesting as giving a
more familiar and more detailed view of the

cause than any to which we have been accus-
toned We hope that it may prove another
argument for earnest effort by the Cubans and
their friends.

There is yet reasonable hope that the cruel
canard announcing the safe arrival of the City
of Boston at Liverpool which yesterday re-
joiced the City and excited Congress, may
prove a happy prediction. Numerous sailing
vessels which left this port several days pre-
vious to the departure of the missing steamer
have just arrived out. If the machinery of
the City of Boston has become disabled and
she is trusting to her sails, as surmised, hopes
of her safety need not yet be abandoned.

District Attorney Morris of Kings County
finds equal difficulty in bringing repeaters and
murderers to trial. The trial of the persons
charged by the Grand Jury with the commits
sion of tho election frauds is again postponed,
after some singular proceedings For good and
apparent reasons the Dstrict-AttOrney has en-
deavored TO keep secret until the trial came
on. the names of his witnesses, fearful that
they may be tempered with by the Brooklyn
"Ring,r which owes its existence to the frauds
they are prepared to prove. The counsel
for the indicted persons agreed to pro-
coed with the trial on December 81, 1862
but then secured the transfer to another Court
presided over by another Judge. In this
Court, a week LATER the trial came on, and the
design of the transfer was revealed by mo-
ton of the counsel for the accused calling for
the names of the District Attorneys witnesses.
The order was granted by Judge Pratt, who
took his seat on the bench evidently for this
special purpose, and vacated it Immediately
after issuing the order The District Attorney
declined to obey it, as irregular; but yesterday
Judge Gilbert repeated it, and postponed the
trial until it is obcycd. The result of obe-
dience will of course be the intimidation or
bribery of witnesses possibly also the ac-
Guttal of the rascals of the Ring" We are
afraid we must conclude that the courts OF
Justice in Brooklyn find their parallel only in

The Maryland Legisl ature in its efforts to 80
frame a registry law as to exclude the colored
voters from participating in the Baltimore city
election without revealing its purpose, has
made pretty tumble, 50 that without violating
tie law the election cannot in reality take place
on sho day prescribed by law, the fourth We'd
nesday in October. Though things are i'll a
middle as to the way out of this difficulty, the
Democratic Boards of Registration see their
way very clearly out of one difficulty. Tho law
requires that the registry shall give the voters
residence, but they have procured an "opinion
from Isaac ID. Jones, Attorney General, that it
is only necessary to designate tho precinct to
which he belongs. This, of course, opens wide
the door for fraud. II man declares he lives
in a certain house, and does not, the falsity of
the assertion is easily proven, but il he merely
designatcs his precinct, noyother man can GER
tainly swear that he does not live there. The
desperate Democracy are determined to hold on
TO Baltimore and will stoop to any frauds to ac-
compllsl their purpose.

Mad Dogs.


In view of the pending ordinance before City
Council, to repeal the ordinance requiring dogs
to be muzzled, the following from Our Dumb
animals, monthly paper issued by the Massa-
chusetts Society for the prevention of cruelty to
Animals will be of INTEREST,"
''The annual summer crusade against dogs
has commenced. 1t would seem that the COM
munity never tires, during the summer season,
of CRYING mad dog" whereas the strongest
evidence of scientific men and intelligent inves-
tigation show it to be a superstitious error to
suppose that dogs are more liable to madness in
summer than at other seasons, while in most
warm climates the disease is unknown, and per-
SONS who have made the subject of hydrophobia
a study, produce convincing evidence OF the rare
occurrence at any season.
At a recent sitting of the Academy of Sciences
in Paris M. Bouley stated that his researches ex-
tending over many years, showed total OF
eighty-nine cases in the spring, seventy-four in
summer. sixty-four in autumn, and seventy-four
in winter. Marshal Valiant M. Verneir, Baron
Lafrey and others spoke at length, and decidedly
against the use of the muzzle, as tending TO
cause madness. True hydrophobia is invariably
preceded thirty-six hours or more by loss OF
appetite, gnawing and swallowing of unusual
objects, seeking retired places exert ement, and
gistening eyes !; but epilepsy, (Which is COM
mon disease) should not be mistaken for mad
ness.
There was but single case Of hydrophobia
in man, out of twenty-eight Thousand admis-
sions to the Pennsylvania hospital. covering
period of nearly eight years, although there were
over three hundred which strongly resembled It.
Since dogs perspire only by the mouth, abolish
muzzles and since they demand water often,
see that they have it, and supposed cases OF
madness will decrease, and thus relieve an allx-
ious public, and do justice to the dogs"

The Pottsvile journal of Saturday says: "The
demand for coal is not as brisk as was anticipated
by many, and orders were countermanded yes
terday. 1t is all folly to expect to maintain coal
at SO a ton, even for week longer. There is no
use of being deceived on this point, and the pro-
ducers will be fortunate if they can maintain
prices at $3.50, after the first rush is over.

A correspondent Of the New York Tribune,
writing from Port Carbon, on Thursday says:-
.rrhe supply of anthracite coal this year, not
withstanding the prolonged strike in the Schuyi-
kill region, is already over one million in excess
of the production for the same period IN 1863.
Despite the combination of the dealers on the
seaboard to keep them up, prices must therefore re
gradually decline. Coal will soon average S2o0
per ton at Port Carbon. The transportation
from the mines to the seaboard being in the
hands of corporation without competition, Ii

lie have good reason to expect a judicious exer-
