The Philadelphia Inquirer assures US that
Justices Strong and Bradley are entirely i'm
partial in the Legal Tender cases. We arc
glad to believe it. 1t objects to our saying that
they transferred railroad stock in order to quail
ify themselves to sit impartialy in these cases,
holding that transfer would not have
been sufficient qualification, and stating
that the property was absolutely
alienated. We hasten 10 make tho
more explicit announcement. And now
will not The Inquirer agree with us that it
would have been better for the respect for tho
Supreme Court, which that journal and We
alike wish to preserve, if no question of possi-
BILE interest in any cases before it could ever
have been raised concerning any of its Judgesf
and if the appearance of these Judges had not
been made the signal for clamor for reopenng

GENERAL JORDAN-THE CUBAN SITUATION

GENERAL JORDAN-THE CUBAN SITUATION.
A full and authoritative statement from Gen.
Jordan, for more than year past commander
in-chef of the Cuban patriots, gives us a clear
comprehension of the situation in Cuba and an
explanation of the difficulties surrounding the
struggling Republic. General Jordan has re-
turned to this city, but not, as has been charged,
in abandon ment of the cause Of the patriots.
On the contrary, he comes as the agent OF their
Government, and hopeful of their ultl-
mate success through their present
guerT;lla-like operations, even though
unaided frOm abroad. He declares that there
is no lack of patriots eager for service under
the Republic unable to obtain arms, and
that the negroes and Coolies willingly light
under the banner of revolution, and make SOL
ders not inferior to the best. The country Is
fully supplied with provisions-amply able,
indeed, to support an army equal to all the
requirements of the Republic. The Spanish
troops, with great barbarity, have destroyed
many valuable plantations and, with unpar-
allelcd ferOcity, butchered hundreds OF the
inhabitants but they can hope to cut OFT
neither the supplies of soldiers nor food. What
Cuba lacks is material of war in the shape OF
arms and ammunition, and this only. To OBJ
tain such supplies is the main purpose for
which Gen. Jordan returns to this country
He has no doubt that if arms and ammunition
are had, an army of patriots fully adequate to
cope with the 10000 Spanish troops on the
island can soon be raised, and with them he
believes Havana can be besieged III three
months.
1t is clearly evdent-not so much from the
statement of Gen. Jordan as from other gen.
eral information-that the affairs of the Cuban
Republic have been mismanaged, at home and
abroad It's army has been divided; military
operations have been carried out upon no gen.
eral plan, and the discipline is plainly nc:
as commendablc as the bravery displayed by
the troops. But there has been derelictiOn of
duty elsewhere, and all the more to be con-
demned because the difficulties of performing
well that duty were less than on the immedi-
ate scene of strife. The business of the Re-
public, for instance, has been mismanaged by
the Junta which sits in this city. We have
given that body, and do still give it credit for
the zeal which it has displayed for the cause
of Cuban liberty and the energy en-
ployed in furthering it. But the Junta
has not been as discreet as it was
Jealous, and much of its effort has been
wasted in ill-considered enterprises. Perhaps
we shall see an improvement in this matter
should Gen. Jordan, who is acquainted with
both countries and peoples, assume the direction
of Cuban matters here. Arms ought to be fur
nished the struggling patriots, and we have
not doubt that under Gen. Jordan's direc-
ton they will be obtained and forwarded. To
this end, as to the most pressing and important
need, the Cuban patriots in America ought
now to devote themselves.

one of wisdom. The Government mas
abandoned the Red River expedition, ana
member of the Commons has gravely an,
nounced that a compromise has been efected
by rearranging the boundaries of the province
and giving it new name. We shall be greatly
surprised if it turns out that the compromise
means anything at all, particularly since the
boundary line has been changed once more
and Rie and his followers and their English enc
mics of the northern part of the province are
not to be under separate governments. Per
hans we shall be greatly disappointed also if the
compromise holds good. We by no means
admit the supposition, but certainly we have
a good example to follow in'sympathizing with
English rebels. At any rate, there is not likely
to be any blood shed, whether the English
come or not, and in that view of the case we
can still smile at the situation.

Mr.. Robert j. DillOn's reason for declining
the appointment of Commissioner of Parks
was such good one that we are sorry to
hear he has withdrawn his refusal. He Op-
posed the plan upon which the Central Park
was laid out, and in his recent letter to Mayor
Hall he expresses the opinion that "not much
"nOw remains to be done except to stop the
progress of useless and tasteless ornamental
ton, and to adopt new system of plant
ing" That he has nevertheless been pre-
vailed upon to accept the Office of Commits
siOner means, we suppose, that his opinions
are to be adopted by the new Board,
and the whole plan of the Park changed.
1t means that Andrew II. Green, whom
the Ring dare not remove, is to be forced
into resignation. We have the fullest
confidence in Mr.. Dillons personal integrity,
but none at all in the men who are using him.

The Manchester Courier believes that the true
remedy for political corruption in America il a
State Church. According to this eminent
thinker, the voluntary system so paralyzes a
preacher with fear of losing his salary, that he
dares not denounce public profigacy for fear
of offending some member of his congregation
And yet in Great Britain, where bribery at
the polls is more general than it is anywhere
else in the world, and where several members
of the present Parliament have been unseated
for corrupt election practices, there is a most
respectable and well-paid State Church, whose
priests may use all the strong language Of
rebuke they can master without fear of the
consequences. In this country clergymen arc
not in the habit of preaching pleasant plati-
tudes, and even under the voluntary system it
is generally found that he who scourges most
severely the political sins of the day is, in a
worldly point of view, the most successful. 1t
is mOurnful truth, which has not apparently
occurred to The Courier, that men will 90
wrong sometimes in spite Of strong preaching
even when the preacher is paid by the State

It seems to us that this sort of imposition
has been carried rather too far. 4ae Sun pu,:-
lished some days ago story of an interview
between one of its reporters and Gen. Pickett,
who was represented as about sailing for Egypt
to take service under the Viceroy. "a Sun re-
"porter called upon Gen. Geo. E. Pickett last
might" says the paper in question, "and
found the gallant soldier quite elated at tho
"prospect of brilliant field for military re-
"nown. After few casual remarks, en-
" trely irrelevant to the subject, the following
" interesting conversation took place." and so
on. Now Gen. Pickett denOunces the whole
story as fabrication. He has not taken ser
vice under the Viceroy no such interview,
nor any interview, ever took place between
him and Sun reporter; and no San reporter
ever called upon him. Is there any answeri

There are certain encouraging evidences that
the condition of American Commerce is slowly
but surely recovering. Applications for signal
letters for new merchant vessels pour into the
Bureau of Statistics, not less than sixty
five having been made during the first

activity is observable under the present dis

quick revival of American Commerce under

Commissioner Capron has just issued
the monthly Agricultural Report, which
contains the folliwing facts of interest to
your readers: The wheat crop for 1870
is materially less than that of 1869, and
the average reduction is about IA per cent.
In Texas, however, it is only 2 per cent.
The corn crop will reach 2l0,O0O,OO0 bush
els. In Texas the increase Of this product
is per cent.
The cotton crop figures received Indicate
large increase. In Texas it is placed at
80 per cent. "This would give a crop OF
100000 bales. But the Indications of the
