Final action on the Funding bill cannot be
long delayed if we are to trust the tlatterlng
indications in the Senate. The first votes on
the proposed measures were had yesterday, and
were generally favorable to the final adoption
of Mr. Sherman's bill. The Senate refused
with great pOsitiyeneSs to recommit the bill,
with instructions to amend. to Committee,
or to allow the Georgia Reconstruction bill
to interfere with debate on the financial
measure. There is reason to think that as the
first refusal was made without division, the
temper of the Senate is strongly favorable TO
the early passage of the bill. Mr.. MorrllIs
proposition to increase the rate OF interest on
the second series of bonds from a. to 8 per
cent was killed by the significant vote of 40 10
g. The section authorizing foreign agencies,
which has been the chief obstacle hereto
fore to the passage Of the bill, was finally
dispensed with during the evening session, an
amendment by Mr.. Corbett to that effect re-
ceiving the support of 30 members. But this
important feature is not wholly lost; aud the
negotiation of the bonds will not fall upon
the Treasury Department unaded. The
amendment of Mr. Scott of Pennsylvania
designed to have this effect was rejected;
and in lieu of the original provision
an amendment offered by Mr.. Sherman
authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to
make the coupons of any portion of the four
per cent bonds payable at the United States
agencies in London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam,
or Frankfort was adopted. The vote on this
compromise-3O Yeas to 10 Nays-very nearly
represents the division of the Senate on the
bill in its entirety. The chief difficulties have
been smoothed over, and we now hope for the
immediate adoption of this most important
financial measure.

CAPT EYRE'S CRIME.

There ia something worse than shocking IN
disaster of magnitude for which we have
TO blame not clements and accidents merely,
but the heart of man, which is more dangerous
than the precipice and more savage than the sea.
The disaster perpetrated by the British steamer
Bombay in japanese waters was double
calamity The steamer itself killed ship,
so to speak, but that was an acci-
dent. The Captain of the steamer left more
than hundred men to drown, and this Is a
crime which finds its measure in the sea when
holds it rather than in the ordinary limits OF
human perceptions. 1t is worse than disgrace
full to his nation and race-it is a calamity TO
his species We have only to say i'll behalf OF
Captain Eyre that it must have given him ex-
ceedingly little thought and feeling to commit
his great murder at sea as compared with the
thoughts and feelings which are aroused to
denOunce it.
Of the actual commission of a crime more or
less in the affair of the Oneida, there Is no
longer doubt, we grleve to say. In the re
markedly promp, full, and detailed report OF
the disaster which we present elsewhere In
our correspondence from Yokohama, nothing
is wanting to show the nature of the catas-
trophe and the willful or careless crime which
made the Oneida its victim. 1t is deposed that
the whistle of the Oneida was blown and
three guns fired Still, the Captain of the
Bombay declares that he neither saw nor
heard a signal :; yet the steward OF the Bonn
bay. on arrival at Yokohama, asserted that
the Oneida had been run into and cut to
the waters edge. So much for this part OF
the story But the worst of it is the evidence
of British lieutenant, that Capt. Eyre told
him that "he had cut the whole quarter of a
damned Yankee frigate, and served her
"bloody well right" Capt. Eyre's own evil
dence is to the effect that the collision was
too slight to be much suspected, that his pilot
told him that a spit of land was near and
that there was no danger, and that he was a
1ood fifteen minutes looking after the Inflated
ship! That "good fifteen minutes Is ter
rible bit of evidence.
We are far from wishing to PREJUDICE the case
of the Bombay Captain, and, for the honor OF
our race, hope that he will prove himself less a
reckless villain than he seems. Let not his in
fanny. as it stands obscure the sublime last act
of noble men-the herosm with which Captain
Williams determined to go down with his ship,
the noble courage of the young Ensign Copp-
illustrious examples, of which marine that
claims the memory of Commander Craven and
the immortal boy Holland can never be destl-
tute when an occasion arises.

THE GOLD MARKET.

The first of the two sales of Treasury gold,
of one million each, for the current month.
which took place yesterday, realized n much
lower price for the Government than has ever
been accepted at any previous SALE 1t is bat
few weeks since Secretary Boutwell, refused
to make deliveries on any bids under 100; but
yesterday the prices offered on the bids which
were accepted averaged trife under 1lO;.
The range in the market throughout the day
was from 110t to 111t, and the transactions
were very large, the fluctuations being rapid,
and excitement running high.
1t has very often been said in Wall st. of
late that "there are no bulls in gold" The
speculative holders of large quantities of gold
have of course tried to force it up in their
own interest but they lost heart over fort
night ago, and have only been engaged for
some time past in efforts, at once feeble and
desperate, to retard the fall as much as pos
sble, and limit their losses when they were
compelled to sell out. The great majority of
operators have lattery been moving, very fire.
quently and very rapidly, contenting them
selves with the small profits made by repeated
turns during the hundred fluctuations Of the
day. But those who, on principle or by tenn
permanent. ordinarily constitute the bull
party, have shown themselves completely
demoralized. They have seen their old
stable arguments failing them day by day.
They have found the cost of these Arguments
positive cost IN actual cash-mCre than they
were able to endure; and so, throwing over at
once their arguments and their gold, they have
either jumped wildly to the other side, or picked
up such fragments as might be found between
sides, or stood bewildered and helpless, asking
with the Great Expounder, "And where shall
81 gop II has been almost impossible to find
a respectable bull reason of any kind any
where in Wall-st, and those who. from in
terest, upheld the bull side. were compelled TO
put themselves off with makeshifts which they
would never have tolerated in other days. 1t
needs but slight opportunity, of course, to
enable bull patty to present Nself again
and it will certainly go hard with them if sew
eral opportunities cannot be found before the
struggle IA finally given up.
There have, of course, been heavy losses
from the great fall in gold outside of the
spectators. Those who have large stocks of
imported goodss bought and paid for At former
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1870-03-10

We have labored hard to get at the precise
meaning of the two brief speeches which Mr.
Seward has delivered since his arrival in this
place. 1t is certain that they were short; it is
possible that they were grand; it is clear that
they were obscure. AS everybody may not
have been able to give the time and patience
to their study that we have given, we may say
that so far as we can judge, we believe him
to hold 1. That the late Rebellion was crushed
by the fact that American civilization Is one
great symmetrical enterprise, with one metro
poltan commercial center (NewYork) toward
which the whole country gravitatcs; and That
the attraction toward this center is everywhere
so strong as to prevent the permanent exiSt-
stence of whatever is Incompatible with
it. (See speech to the Common Council, March
~ g. That while there is this unltyng
attraction of gravitatOn toward New ork,
there must also be here operative and radiant
those powerful moral forces on which cohesion
depends; for he said that what our political and
commercial interests now require Is the exercise
on our part, of the proper charities, sympathies
and affections for the outlying States and nations
in our own hemisphere, and on the islands and
shores of the Pacific whose fortunes are deeply
affected by our political and commercial institu-
tons and movements. (See speech to the Cham
Der of Commerce, March 81. These were the
only two general principles enunciated by Mr.
Seward in his two speeches; and it will be seen
that though they were put toward on different
days, in different speeches, one at time. They
are directly related and correlated to each
other, as attraction and radiation. We should
like to see anybody bold enough to challenge
either of them; we defy the whole world to dis
pute them combined.
