SYMPATHY FOR CAPTAIN EYRE
A CABLE telegram states that Captain Eyre
of the steamer Bombay, is in the British
metropolis for the purpose of having the mild
sentence awarded by the court which in
quired into his atrocious conduct set aside,
and that "much sympathy is shown him" in
London. The only punishment inflicted for
his heinous offence is a temporary suspension
from employment; and yet this brutal monster,
whose heartless conduct was the immediate
cause of the death of every person lost in the
Inflated Oneida, attracts sympathy What do
our kind British cousins want Are they
anxious that he should be instantly authorized
to run new muck against American sea-
men, and destroy more American vessels
On no other theory can their sympathy with
such cowardly and heartless murderer be
explained Lacking the courage to hoist a
black flag, and to dare pirates fate,
this cold-blooded scoundrel displayed degree

of cruelty from which the most reckless
scourges of the Spanish main would have
recoiled, and yet we are gravely told that
''muoh sympathy is shown for him !" An in
genious writer has demonstrated that the
most bloody and brutal being in the world,
not even excepting the worst savages, is a
debased and thoroughly brutalized English
man, and Captain Eyre personiies in perfec-
ton this horrible character. If he had fifty
lives and were hung at the yard-arm fifty
times, only poor and partial atonement
would be made for his fearful crime; and the
sympathy expressed in his behalf is as dis
creditable to those who evince it as it is in
sulting to the American people.

TUESDAY, APRIL &c, 1870.
THE DAY on .TTBTLE EE.

Our streets to-day present singular specta-
Gle, one which the most sanguine and enthu-
siastic abolitionist would scarcely have
dreamed of, even ten years ago, when the
great civil war was just at its beginning. BY
curious coincidence, the colored people of
Philadelphia have selected for their demon
strations over the PRONUNCIATION of the fif-
teenth amendment the very day on which
the unreconstructed cbivalry of the South are
to decorate the graves of those who fought
and died for ''the lost cause" These two
ceremonies present the two extremes in
forcible contrast. We may quibble as much
as we please about the origin and object of
the Rebellion. The privilege of treating the
negro upon the principle that he had no
rights which O white man was bound to
respect was the pivot upon which the whole
struggle turned; it was to maintain this
privilege that the South rushed to arms and
attempted to destroy the Union; it was the
natural and inevitable sequence of their
defeat that every trace of this inhuman
maxim should be rooted out The
restoration of the Union, with the
institution of slavery preserved intact,
was an absolute impossibility from the start,
although good and patriotic men ten years
ago did not hesitate to declare that such
contamination was both practicable and de-
sirable Slavery went down with the sinking
fortunes of the Rebellion, and as soon as the
war was fairly at an end, it was patent to
everybody that the negro must be placed on
an absolute equality before the law with the
white man, if we would not yield up to our
defeated foes half of the fruits of the conflict.
Without the ballot in the Southern States, the
freedman was still at the mercy of his ene-
mics, and when the ballot was once placed
in his hands in the Southern States, consis-
tency, aside from simple justice, demanded
that the negro of the North, who had never
bowed under the yoke of servitude, should be
equally favored. To consummate the work
of the war; therefore, the fifteenth amend
ment was proposed by Congress, and, despite
the factious opposition of the Democratic
party of the North, it has become q part of
the fundamental law of the land.
The incorporation of this vital principle in
the Constitution of the United States is an
event which deserves notable recognition at
the hands of these whom it affects most
deeply, and the colored citizens of Philadel-
phia are celebrating it in a manner which is
both fitting and impressive. AS we write, the
preparations for their grand demonstration
are being perfected on a scale that promises
to render it an occasion that will long be re-
membered, and in manner that evinces no
disposition to disorder or unseemly vaunting.
This day IS a great day for the colored people
"A veritable day of jubilee-and all good
and law-abiding citizens will look upon their
demonstrations of rejoicing without any dis
positi on to envy or modest them.

THE SOUTHERN WAR CLAIMS.

THE SOUTHERN WAR CLAIMS.
A RESOLUTION was offered in the House of
Representatives yesterday declaring thBt ''the
honor and good faith of the Government are
bound to the payment of loyal citizens of the
South for property of every description taken
from them for the use of the Government" 1"
The House refused to second the demand for
the previous question on this motion-the
vote being 60 to 90-and there does not seem
to be any immediate danger that the immense
batch of claims covered by the resolution will
command the approval of Congress. 1t be-
hooves the people, however, to carefully
watch the action of their representatives on
this proposition, for the greatest financial
danger that now threatens this nation arises
from this source. If the door is
once fairly opened to the
clamorous Southern loyalists, taxpayers will
be most numerically oppressed by these in
satiable leeches, and national bankruptcy can
only be avoided by series of extortions un-
heard of in financial annals. There is a class
of men in the South who, without being able
to render any useful service to the Govern
ment while the war lasted, have resolved to
make desperate efforts to convert their pre-
tended loyalty into pretext for individual
enrichment, and they will never cease urging
their demands for appropriations while the
slightest ground remains for hope that Con-
gress can be cajoled or bribed into an ac-
acknowledgement of their claims. Hence tax
payers can only find safety by stern and
unyielding opposition to these demands, and
by opposing the reelection of every member
of Congress and Senator who assists the
efforts of the Southern spectators to plunder
the national treasury.

The MARATHON bandits, when they found
themselves likely to be surrounded by an
armed force, murdered the prisoners in their
hands in cold blood. This piece of atrocity
will send a thrill of horror throughout the
whole civilized world, and it will awaken the
serious inquiry whether something cannot be
done to put stop to the whole brigand busi-
ness in such countries as Italy and Greece.
The British Government proposes to urge
upon the authorities at Athens the necessity
for prompt action in the matter, but the ex-
perience of the past indicates that any action
the Greek Government may take will amount
to very little in the way of putting a stop to
such outrages. 1t has been the custom to
treat the Governments of Italy and Greece as
if they were entitled to all the international
courtesies of the great nations, but in point of
fact the people they represent are for the
most part far more barbarous than the Chi
nese, towards whom nothing but policy of
force was supposed to be of any avail. The
Italian and Greek bandits have a cordial con-
tempt for the representatives of the law, and
the Government of neither country has ever
been able to take any efficient steps for their
suppression. The question, therefore, is
whether the great powers whose citizens are
slaughtered as these Engishmen were would
not be justified in taking the law into their
own hands, and in sending force that would
be sufficient to hunt down and exterminate
the whole race of brigands. The difficulties
in the way of such a solution as this of the
bandit problem of course are many, and may
be insuperable but it would be a matter for
congratulation if it could be tried.

LEISURE is never so enjoyable as
when ii comes unexpectedly, like the
visit of long absent friend. And to
be sweet it must be short. Too much
of it pals upon the appetite. Luxu.

Systematized activity is one of the
best preservatives against "dull care"
Leisure is but sauce of life, which
helps to make work more palatable
and digeslible-the one apart from
the other soon becomes disgusting.
Men Of leisure, rs they arc called, are
most commonly restless, fdcty, and
unhappy men. The kindest thing
which can be done to them is to
deprive them, if possible, by hook or
by crook, Of the greater part of their
leisure. At first sight it does not

such license shall he assessed as pro.
vldcd IN the 10th section Of the act Of
Assembly approved March 8lst, A. d.,
1856.
From acarSnl examination ofthesc
various acts Of Assembly tits apparent
that the Legislature has provided a
mode by which every hotel, inn or
tavern, and every house intended TO
be used and occupied for hotel, inn
or tavern, ia to be assessed and val
ued, and by the 9th section Of the act
of 1884 hcrenbefore referred TO, it is
incumbent upon every person intend
ing TO apply for license to keep a
hotel or tavern, TO have this assess
ment and valuation made, in accord.
ance with the 9th, 9TH, Sth and 9th
sections of said act Of 1884, and the
18th section of the act of April 20, '5S.
The evidence adduced before the
Court on the hearing of these applica-
tions clearly shows the absence ofany
assessment and valuation. What is the
duty of the Courtg The act of As.
sembly of April 20, 1858, under which
we are authorized to grant licenses,
declares in plain and unequivocal
language that licenses shall be granted
TO citizens of tho United States of
temperate habits and good moral
character, ioheaeUer the requirements
Of the idi0 on the subject are complied
Nth by Gny such applicant Having
made a careful investigation of all the
acts of Assembly regulating the sale
of liquors, and comforting upon the
Courts the power to grant licenses,
and after an impartial consideration
of the question submitted for our
decision, we are of the opinion that
an assessment and valuation of the
yearly rental Of the house which the
applicant intends to occupy for the
purpose of a hotel, is such require.
ment of the law as must be complied
with by such applicant before the
Court can grant him license. We,
therefore, refuse to grant the applica-
tion Of the petitioners for a license to
keep a hotel. We have arrived at
this conclusion under a sense of the
obligation that rests upon every judi
cial tribunal to ascertain what the law
is, and when once clearly ascertained
to declare it, and enforce the law thus
declared. This decision does not, how
ever, preclude the Court from grant.
ing a license to keep an eating house
or restaurant TO the said petitioners.
