The Democratic rulers of our CITY are in
volved in fierce quarrel, which is all the
fiercer that it is not likely to last. 1t involves
the fate of the Tweed-Sweeny dynasty, which
has reigned and ruled for years, and its adver-
saries, led by Sheriff O'Brien, Congressman
Morrissey, and Senators Norton, Genet, and
Creamer, seem quite aware that any compro-
mise digs their grave-that, if Tweed shall re-
tain his standing in the party, their heads are
in the basket inevitably. There is to be q
trial of strength this evening in the Demo-
cratic General Committee; aud we infer that
Tweed is likely to win, from the fact that
this meeting was called by his enemies ex-
pressly to dislodge him from the Craftsmanship;
and now we hear it given out that the Young
Democracy may not proceed to that extrem-
ity--which means that they are not sure that
they could GUST him if they tried. How
ever, that is none of our business; and we
write to say that the rumored interference OF
the Police must at all events be forborne
Tammany Hall is private property; the Demo
cratic General Committee is known to the law
only as a gathering of citizens; and no one has
any right to presume that its meeting tonight
will be less peaceful and aw-abding than its
former meetings have been. Not until the
peace shall have been actually broken has a
policeman any business inside of that Hall and
we insist that none shall enter it till his ser
vices are absolutely needed

The Government does not now press on
England the payment of the Alabama claims,
but the American merchants, who were damaged
in pocket, and the American people, who were
wounded in pride by the depredations of Brit
ish cruisers under Rebel colors, do not intend
to abandon them entirely. There is q little
encouragement for the petitioners to Congress
who lately asked for Commission to estab-
lish proof and certify the amount of
these losses in the decision of Judge Batch
ford, presiding in "a Court Of Admiralty.
In effect, it declares that any funds OF
property belonging to John Laird or other
owners of English-built rebel cruisers and to
be found in this country may be detained and
proceeded against under process of garnish-
ment. From this decision, entered several
months ago in the case of John n. Cushing
and Others against Foster Il Thompson. agents
of John Laird, an appeal was made in the form
of motion to dismiss the attachments, on the
ground that tho court had no jurisdiction OF
the person of the respondent, Laird But the
present decision declares emphaticaly the
jurisdiction of the court, and denies the mo-
ton Ii any funds of English pirate builders
are held in this country they will doubtless be

1t needs no very recent news from Spain to
assure us that the Captain General has orders
to procure elections for the COrtes in Cuba-if
he can. About year ago Spain promulgated
the law under which such elections were then
ordered to be held, and the effect of that I'M
equal and dishonest law, which placed the
Cubans on lower footing than any
of the home provinces, was to confirm their
resolve not to submit. An election held under
this law would under the best circumstances
have been unfair; how much more so if SNUG
gled through while the better part of the Gu
bans were exiled or fighting. To order an
election now or at any time under Spanish in
fuences merely is TO provide for fraud OF
the most shameful character. OF course, Sec
rotary Fish could not consent to abide by any
such test as this, and the Cubans spoke the
truth when they declared an election imprac-
ticable in any sense worthy of recognition by
a nation Boosting habits of good faith md fair
play.

The Daren Expedition has reached Caledonia
Bay aud started upon its work of exploration.
ats members have to encounter a difficult and
prOblematic wilderness, but not unfriendly In
Iians; and if there be any truth in the story
of Captain Heine that he has heretofore gone
across the Isthmus in a canoe, by the best
route yet known, the results of the present
explorations cannot be otherwise than highly
important. Captain Heine proposes to cross the
1sthmus again in boat; and though Captain
Selfridge seems to have declined his assistance,

wishes of President Grant, to make good his

We trust that there will be large attend
ance at the meeting of women which has been
called for this forenoon, at SteInway Hall, by
Miss Catharine Z. Beecher, as Secretary OF the
Woman's Educational Association. Its object
is to take into consideration means. speedy,
safe, and Scriptural," for relieving the
"heayy sufferings of multitudes of women"
and Miss Beecher herself helps us to cOmpre-
bend the meaning and application of this lam
guage when she refers especially to the adop-
ton of means claiming to elevate the honor
"of domestic employments, to train woman
"more highly for her distinctive profession as
"chief educator of childhood and prime minis
"ter of the family state; and also to prepare
cher to gain honorable independence in vari-
"ous employments suited to her SEX" In a
letter which Miss Beecber has written on the
subject she argues that the real wrongs of
woman result from the want of appreciation of
her function as "chief educator of the race
"and prime minister of the family" and still
more from want of proper training for those
duties. She holds that, for want of suita-
BILE scientific and practical education, women
are not qualified to be wives. nor to
bring up children, nor to train servants, nor to
practice wise economy; and hence the sacred
duties of the family state, being neglected and
ignored, pass to the ignorant and unsklled and
receive neither social honor nor liberal reward.
She illustrates her meaning on this point by
saying that, while teachers of French and music
become inmates of the family, with social
equality and superior wages, the cook and nur-
sery attendants, being ignorant and unrefned,
are degraded and ill-rewarded class; and
owing to this state of things, the social order
is in many ways deranged and damaged. Miss
Beecher and the ladies who cooperate with her
have a great task before them in their attempts
to bring these serious considerations to the
notice of the American people, men as well as
women; for the subject is one in which thought
full persons of both sexes must take an interest
before any practical results can be looked for.

1t must be remembered that the question q
our obtaining "foothold in the West Irdies,,
by the annexation of the Bay Of SANTANA ia a diff
ferent matter from the annexation of the Repub-
lie of San Domingo, which was discussed by the
Senate last week. The greater question h.s
swallowed up the lesser, which has thus passed
from public thought and notice. But il tho
annexation treaty be rejected by the Senate.
we suppose it will next be called on TO con.
slider the Convention for the lease of the Bay
of SANTANA, which was drawn up in November
last, and is now in the Presidents hands. By
this Convention, the Dominican Republic has
agreed to lease to our Government for period
of fifty years, the Peninsula and Bay Of
SANTANA, rs a naval and military station. in
consideration of an annual payment of sl50,W0
in gold. One years payment has already been
made under this ConventiOn-the money having
been taken from an unexpended appropriation
made by Congress during Johnson's admins
tration for the acquisition of port in Tho
West Indies. BY the fourth article of the
SANTANA Bay Convention, it is provided that our
Senate shall take action upon it within four
months of its date and, as it is dated on the
Goth of last November, the time for action will
expire with tomorrow. If it be not then rat
fled by the Senate. will we hold possession Of

We are pleased to hear that the Mormon
delegate in Congress from Utah (Mr Hooper,

polygamy 1t is surprising that man who

Brother Hooper should have been allowed TO
remain subject to one woman; but, for some
reason or other, Brigham Young has reframed
from compelling him to submit to practice

We are delighted to learn that the ladies OF
Uniontown, Pa, have formed an " Anti-Slan-
dering Society,"" which meets monthly. OF
course, we would think no evil; but this
meeting once month";" especially if they
have tea, is suspicious. We would suggest,
as a matter of simple precaution, that the
evening should be spent, not in conversation.
but in listening to the reading of some good
book, moral or scientific; and we trust that
loquacity is sternly discouraged by the Con-
stitution of tho Society. IL these ladies can
show after one year that the Anti-Slandering
Society has slandered nobody, the Legislature
of Pennsylvania should give them money
enough to build a hall.

THE EYRE INQUIRY.

Our special advices from Japan this morning
bring us full reports of the evidence given
before the naval court of inquiry at YOkO-
hama, and the, decision of the court in the
case of Capt. Eyre, of which the telegraph
had already announced the substance. No
American, after reading these detailed ac-
counts, will be satisfied with the result. The
facts of the case remain substantially as first
reported; only to the inhumanity of the British
captain is now added the further wrong OF a
verdict, by four other British captains and
British consul, that the commander of the
Bombay was only little hasty, that every
allowance must be made for his perplexing
situation, and that although the law unfOr-
tunately prescribes penalty for the abandon
ment of a hundred and fifty drowning men, that
penalty must not be understood rs afiixing any
stigma upon Mr.. Eyres character as o gentle
man and sailor. This in effect is what the
decision amounts TO. The court suspends Mr..
Eyre's certificate for the very shortest period
possible, and does it, so to speak, hat in hand,
apologizing to the culprit for putting him to
80 much inconvenience.
The testimony of officers of the Bombay shows
that the time which elapsed between the order
to stop her engines, when the collision became
imminent, and the order to go ahead and leave
the Oneida TO her fate, was only four minutes;
that the Bombay herself was not supposed to
DO in danger-indeed, was making water in
only one Of her seven compartments,
an the captain well knew; that the Oneida,
after the collision, hailed Steamer ahoyw
and the hail was heanl and reported to Capt.
Eyre. who nevertheless refused " stop. No,

1t is intimated from Washington that the

harsh fate of Georgia before their eyes, and

The Irish Land bill has not yet passed its
final reading if it has even entered upon 1t,
while the Force or Police bill is being still
pretty loudly debated. To pass these measures
SO early would argue a degree of speed to
which English legislation is unaccustomed, and
for which Irishmen are not quite prepared Inc
speech of The O'Donoghue against the Force bill
is consistent, and if UNDECIDED must place Mr..
Gladstone's Ministry at a moral disadvantage,
If no worse The Irishman who SO cordially
accepted the substance of the Land bill has a
right to concessions in such measure as the
one for Enforcing the Laws. He was willing
10 take something less than the whole loaf for
which he asked. On his part, however, Mr..
Gladstone does not offer stone instead OF
bread-not exactly: he offers bread and stone
beside.
