though it is not shaped as we could WISH we
urge the House to put it through forthwith.
Even as it is, there is vast good in 1t, ana we
sbould be glad to know that the House would
make it no worse. The pledge of sl5Oooo,ooo
per annum of the Revenue from CUSTOMS
toward the payment of the National Deo'-'i
the interest first, and then OF the prlhc'pai--
is excellent. True, it is just about the one
"per centumr of the principal pledged by the
Legal Tender act but 1t is IN better silape'
more ineligible, and we prefer that the bonus
purchased for the Treasury should be destroyed,
as this bill provides, rather than preserve them
and pay interest on them toward the reduction
of the principal, as the act of 1862 contem-
plates. 1t is high time the COpperhead cavll
that the Debt has not been reduced under
Gen. Grant, because the purchased bonds are
still in being and interest is to be paid on
them, were silenced; and this bill does 1t
effcctually.
We rejoice that the bill says decisvely to our
National Banks, present and prospective, "lf
you choose to retain your valuable privilege
"of issuing notes to serve as currency, you
"must base them on the new bonds authorized
"by this act" This is reasonable, beneficent
and just. The banks have good thing; we
are making their bonds more valuable by max
ing them scarcer; they can well afford to ac-
cept lower rate of interest from the Govern
ment and they will have to do it.
Yet there is danger of combination in the
House for the defeat or enfccblement of the bill
of three diverse interests as follows:
I. The Opposition, who dread the success of
Funding as though it were another Gettysburg
or Appomattox;
2. The National bankers, who would rather
continue to receive six per cent. interest on
their bonds than any lower rate; and
3. The "Red Dog" gentry, who want the
Currency inflated and debased 80 that they can
pay big debts with small means, and incur
more whether they have any means or not.
If these three crowds should join teams,
they may prove strong enough to he mis-
chievous and already there are symptoms of
such coalition. Though this bill establishes
Free Banking and unlimited issues OF Paper
Money wherever and by whOmsOever $4,000
can be got together as capital, the cry Is
raised that it is a measure OF contraction.
The excuse for this cry is the provision
which authorizes the Secretary OF the
Treasury at his discretion to offer per cent.
bonds in exchange for Grcenbacks As Ma
tional Bank notes will he increased about as
fast as Grecnbacks are withdrawn from circu-
lation, there will be little or 10 contraction
under this clause, but there may be an APP
proach to Resumption, and this Is what the IN
fatonists are afraid of. We hope there is
strength and courage among the Republicans
to save this most important provision.

Prince Henry of Bourbon has distinguished
himself in Spanish affairs for year past solely
by his impetuous hatred of that nightmare
of monarchcal politics known as Montpensier
Every public letter he has written since the
revolution triumphed in Spain has had the
clear intent of destroying Montpensier'S chances
for the throne and he has undoubtedly helped
to do so. For one Prince to be called by
another cod-hearted, mercenary, and hypo-
critical is not the best advertising in
the world for a crown candidate. The
cold blooded Duke has been stung at last
to the quick 10y being denounced as a
Jesuit and French pastry-cOok, and for these
and other Bourbon wtticisms has shot Prince
Henry through the head in duel. The chances
of the Duke for the throne were always very
doubtful, and, unless the SpaniarGs are more
corrupt than their worst cOntemners estimate
them to be, those chances are now utterly
destroyed. Prince Henry, though rash and
hot-hcaded, had qualities of candor and courage
which will make him remembered by all that
numerous party of Spaniards whose dislike to
Montpensier appears to be intense.

TIE NEW ENGLISH MEASURES.

The character and features of the new
measures of English administration afford Us
another reminder of the curious differences
between the legislation of Congress and that
of n Parliament. The one seems to follow the
crooked lines of the ancient map and the
genealogical chart, the other to seek the rail
road track and go with the locomotive The
Englishman applies his reform here little,
and there a little, more or less-whereas
the American would rather distribute it rad
ically and equally all round. The latter deals
in round and even numbers the former in odd
numbers and fractions. Macaulay states the
mechanic principle Of practical English states
manship as, ITO think nothing of symmetry
"and much of convenience; never to remove
can anomaly merely because it is an anomaly !;
"never to lay down proposition of wider
extent than the particular case for which it is
" necessary to provide"
Mr.. Forster, whose craftsmanship an esteemed
writer has described by this quotation, aptly
illustrates in his educational measure the
merits and defects of his system. His bill pro
vdes, among other things. that one class OF
peasants shall pay for tue public schooling Of
their children, while another shall receive free
tickets; that education shall he voluntary in
one district and compulsory in another, and
that the majority in school-boards shall estab-
lish what UNCONVENTIONAL schools they please.
The successful principle of the bill is that
where education was meager, helter-skelter
and neglected, so that but million and n
half of children had its imperfect advantages,
it provides that there shall be school dis
tricts, school boards, and generalized Wstem
of free or very cheap education. The American
Judgment of this multiform bill would be more
sweeping, perhaps, than in all respects accu-
rate. We should be inclined to say that a
measure which compcls one neighhor and per-
mits another, which maintains tho old distinc-
ton between rich and poor in the matter of
public education, and which invites to secta-
rian feud, is calculated TO defeat itself. So
many Englishmen think with scarcely less
heartness than ourselves; but yet such bill.
shaped here a little and there little to suit
localities might DO as toefablo to q number OF
Britons IA il seems lntolerable to lis.

The publication of the facts of the terrible
massacre by our soldiers of a camp of Piegan
Indians has drawn from the officers who au-
thorized and those who conducted the eXpedi
ton, certain explanations doubtless designed to
Justify the cruel outrage. But these merely
serve to shift the responsibility from shoulder
to shoulder, and fail utterly to show that the
original reports of the violence andinhumanity
of the troops were false or exaggerated. On
the contrary, they more than confirm the first
painful stories, and afford additional reasons
for demanding that the responsibility shall be
fixed and the offender punished. 1t would
have been in better taste if the cOngratu-
latory order now published had been withheld
pending the required investigation. COinci-
dence in the time and character of this and
that other startling display of "man's inhuman-
atty to man" which the Japan seas could
not conceal, threaten the guilty soldier with
the terrible fate of having his name sink to
infamy linked with that of Eyre. We are
demanding as a nation the punishment of the
monster guilty Of abandoning drowning men
to the fate his wickedness OF careleSsness pre-
cipitated. We owe it to ourselves and to
humanity to make the investigation into the
Piegan massacre not less searching than that
we have demanded of England into the con-
duct of her sailor. The cheap defense that
this was an act of war, and that "war is cru
"elty which cannot be refined" will not serve.
1t was an act of war-war in violation of new
est treaties and fairest promises-war in viola
ton of distinctly uttered, widely proclaimed,
clearly inaugurated policy of peace.

Fifteen hundred troops have been ordered 70
TenDcssce, and others have been officially re-
quested by Gov. Holden for immediate service
in North Carolina. II is extremely unfortunate
that this emergency should have arisen at thiS
time when reconstruction seemed near happy com
pletion; but the duty Of the Government under
the circumstances is plain. The pLovocation in
both States is the same and equally gross
lawless whites have attacked negroes, and
with such bitterness and fury that the EVIL
authorities are powerless TO suppress the ma
rauding bands oftKu-Klux or to protect the
helpless and defenseless Blacks. These clrcum-
stances alone justify the act Of the President
In sending troops TO Tennessee, and will war
raut the same assertion Of power in North
Carolina. But further than this, the General
Government is bound 10y every obligation to
enforce the Civil Rights act grossly violated
in these instances, and to give protection TO
those TO whom it has already given citizenship.
