LLOYD GARRISON is said to be opposed to
don't banker after him. Wilson is afraid of
him. Wendell Phillips glories in him, and
DR.. Loring hates him. With all these con-
ficting sentiments in regard to him Ben ham,
mers away with his figures and his reports,
determined to do the most sensible thing he
can under the circumstances-that is, stick to
himself and do his own work. The Spring.
field caucus last night, however, appears to
have been made disgraceful affair by the
Butler delegates, who cast eight hundred
votes according to the count, when there were
only one hundred checked by the tellers.
Such proceedings as these will be ruinous to
Ben.

Tho Revoiutionists of Mexico.

From the tenor of our latest dispatches
from Mexico 1t appears very probable that
O revolution is once more to be inaugu-
rated in that republic. We do not refer to the
petty little affairs which are of constant
occurrence and directed only against the
State authorities, but to q grand outbreak
against the general government for the pur-
pose of preventing Juarez from longer occupy
ing the position of President Of the republic.
This has been expected for long time, and
the fact that Tamaulipas, Vera Cruz and
Mexico Central have pronoupced In favor Of
Diaz is proof positive almost that the move
ment will be on large scale. The revolu-
tionists of Mexico-and who Of its population
are not?-will now have another first class
opportunity to further damage their country.
Gone, as Mexico is now, almost beyond re-
demptiou, her people must make the destruc-
ton sure and they will probably succeed, If
the season of war and carnage about to be
commenced will only be prolonged, and it
probably will be il once fairly started. By re-
cent accounts it was considered sure that Juarex
would receive majority of votes for the
Presidency, but IL was not then thought that
he would retain the position without trouble
There is large proportion Of people in Mex
leo who think that he has been President
long enough aud that 1t is time for others to
have chance. and 1t il these who are now

Trials.
The lenity shown by the court martial which
judged the Communist prisoners is made the
subject of severe comment by many of the
Partisan journals. The France, in comment
ing on the subject, says ''society will ask itself
if it is sufficiently protected by the laws that
defend public order, and If the undertakers Of
revolutions, the traders in social decorum, the
adventures of every sort, will be sufficiently
deferred on the eve Of instruction by the
risks they will have to encounter" The
Paris Journal speaks in far moro severe
tones, and declares that s'the most promising
career in France to which father can appren-
tice his son is that Of insurgent." No person
need be deferred, it argues, from adopting
this lucrative profession, as all the qualidca-
tons requisite to make first class insurgent
are contempt of duty, hatred of authority,
selflove, desire of material pleasures for ones
self and of barbarous punishment for Others"
The Li6ertf, with less severity, but with
truth, remarks that ''msny man who if taken
in arms on May 25 would have been shot now
gets off with few months Imprisonment"
The Monde draws the moral from the trial
that 'sall honest folk should now take mea-
sures to protect themselves" 1t thinks,
moreover, that 'the members Of the insurrec--
ton who escaped to foreign countries will now
understand the mistake they made in thus
absconding" This, indeed, is almost the
general sentiment prevailing throughout
France, and the French press in rejecting it
affords us another opportunity of judging Of
the unsettled frame of the public mind through
out the nation at the present time. Justice
has been sparingly dealt out to criminals who
directed well-aimed blow at their native
country while she lay PROSTATE, bleeding and
suffering.

MORE SPANISH TROOPS FOR CUBA.-Spain
still continues to forward soldiers to the
''Ever Faithful Isle." Twelve hundred men
have just embarked, we are told, from Cadiz
for Havana. The belligerent spirit of the
Cubans has quieted down of late, and the
absence Of news from the island recording
great Spanish victories or important Cuban
defeats led us to suppose that the trouble was
over. From Spain comes an announcement
which contradicts that idea. Fresh reinforce
ments suggest the probability of new out
break during the winter, in which the guerillas
who infest the mountains will ''take hand"
in attempting to lberate Cuba.

GOLD 1l5s.-lt must be a matter of deep
modification to Secretary Boutwell, that,
despite his sale on Thursday of six millions OF
gold-for which he obtained, by the way, an
average Of about l144-the market should
advance to still higher figures. His attention
was directed to the fact last week that
gold pool existed in the market, and he inter-
fered to the extent Of selling four millions.
This amount having been absorbed, and the
outcry having been repeated he made fresh
effort to stop the speculation; but his six mil
lions were cast against rock 1t is some
thing extraordinary that any combination Of
gold spectators should be possessed of power
enough to defy the influence of ten millions Of
gold hurled at them in one week.

BRIGuAM YOUNG AND FOURTEEN OF Hrs
WIVES, and Elder Smith, the second greatest
man among the Mormons, have been subpe.
naed by the United States Grand Jury in Salt
Lake City, but up to the present have not been
found. A Mormon paper, commenting on the
recent purchase Of arms by the Mormon Adju-
taut General, says:-s'In time ofpeace prepare
for war;" The Mormon problem is evidently
near o solution. Whether that solution shall
be bloody one or not rests with the Mormons
themselves. In the meantime it would be well
for the United States government to have
troops near at hand to render aid to the Gen.
tiles and to help in enforcing the mandates of
the United States Courts.

think the time has come
In word, from these republican malcontents
on the one side, and the Tammany demorah-
cations on the other side, we may yet have
third party in the Presidential campaign OF
1872 of considerable strength; but the
chances for it depend mainly upon these ap-
preaching republican conventions in New
York and Massachusetts,,

The astounding increase of the permanent
debt of the city, which the joint committee OF
Aldermen and citizens has exposed, will lead
to more rigid investigation and more mr.
gent demand for reform than ever. Ninety
seven millions of permanent debt, to say
nothing Of the floating debt which may add
to that, is likely to open the eyes of our citi-
zens. In January, 1863, the debt, less the
sinking fund, was 1886, 29s, 929; January, 1870,
it was $4s, O33, TAI, an increase Of over twelve
millions; January, 1871, it was $73,373,5 52.
an increase for that year Of nearly twenty-five
millions; and in the eight and half months
since-that is, up to September IA, 1S7l-it
had swelled up to $97, 2S7, 525, being at the
rate of nearly three millions, month.
or thirty-six millions a year. The
debt has been augmenting in this
extraordinary manner, notwithstanding the
enormous revenue of twenty-three millions or
so raised from the people. Through all the
changes of the city government and under
every administration Of city affairs, republican
as well as democratic, we have been going
from bad to worse. The republican rule under
commissions was as extravagant and corrupt as
that Of !hs democrats Of the present mixed
government under the charter. If our present
rulers have expended more they certainly
have more to show for it in the way Of
improvements. 1t is but fair to say this while
we admit and condemn the stupendous frauds
of the Tammany leaders.
Thoro cooroo "a ha 1;ttIo 5ou|>t tLo& ro,,o -
the Tammany Ring have used the public
money to enrich themselves. There is reason
to suspect, indeed, that they have stolen,
directly or indirectly, large sums and put them
into their own pockets; but larger
amount, probably, has been applied to
accomplish political ends, just as the
federal government, through the GUS
tom houses and other departments, uses
the peoples money. Our city treasury was
to the democrats and the Tammany Ring what
the federal treasury is to the party in power at
Washington. The sinews of war have been
drawn from these to carry on the political fight
between the two parties. The Tammany
chiefs have overshot the mark in their unpar-
alleled extravaganza and frauds. Adding a
cipher to bill of forty thousand dollars
against the city and making it four hundred
thousand dollars, either by the connivance or
not of the claimant, was too palpable a fraud
was, in fact, downright robbery. It makes no
difference whether the money thus fraudulently
obtained was spent for political object or put
into the pockets of the officials. Possibly
some of the city authorities may not have
pocketed the money, but they bad, no doubt, a
guilty knowledge of the frauds committed, and
to that extent were participators in the crime.
we hope all the facts will be brought out and
that those shown to be guilty, either as princi-
pals or accessories, may be held responsible.
But let us not be carried away by q mere par
tisan hue and cry; for if we be we shall only
see one set Of rogues thrown overheard for
another plundering ring to take its place.

EFFECTS OF THE POLITICAL WAR.-One of
the ill effects of the bitter political civil war
now raging in the city is the license it gives
disreputable papers to assail private charac-
ter. The last assertion made by one of these
guerilla sheets is that Park Commissioner
Sweeny has within the past two or three days
disposed of his real estate in the city.
We are Informed that Mr.. Sweeny has not sold
a foot Of real estate in this city for many
months past. On the day the SANDER was
invented the President of the Park Commits
sion was engaged in raising funds to pay the
laborers on the parks and boulevards, and
thus prevent suspension of the great public
improvements of the city.

The LINCOLN MEMORIAL STATUE which has
been erected in Paramount Park, Philadelphia,
was unveiled yesterday, with appropriate
ceremonies, in the presence OF a large assem-
blage of citizens. Colonel William McMichael
delivered the grafton. He passed in review
the leading events which occurred during the
executive career of the martyred ruler from
the day of its Inauguration to the moment of
its untimely and fatal close. His words and
the sympathizing expression Of bis hearers go
far to relieve humanity from the oft-repeated
charge that republics are ungratefuL"

Down WITH MURPHY, OR WE BoLr.-From
the dead set Of the Fenton- Greeley faction
upon Collector Murphy and the Grant wing OF
the republican party Of New York, with which
he is identified, it is evident that unless Mr..
Murphy is ruled out of the coming State Con-
vention Of the party there will be bolt, a
split and "a smashing of the machine.

the Custom House they are in earnest.

THERE ARE INDICATIONS, according to q
ST. Paul (Minn.) paper, of Fenian gathering
on our northwest frontier, with view to raid
ing on Fort Garry, in Winnipeg Territory.
We advise our Fenian brethren not to do it.
They might be successful, but the capture Of
the whole Territory, with the Hudson Bay
Company's property and all the half-breeds in
the country, would not help them one jot
toward securing the liberty of Ireland.

The LATEST CASE OF KU KLUxNa in
Georgia occurred almost under the eyes of the
military. A negro who had shot white man
in self-defence had been threatened and had
in consequence secured the protection of
federal troops. A warrant for his arrest on
charge Of murder, however, was respected by
the troops, and he was arrested. On bis way
to jail mob captured him and made away
with him. What his fate may have been is
only conjectured, but conjecture points very
strongly to hanging.

A DEMONSTRATION WAS MADE LAST NIGHT
at the square called Tweed Plaza by the
friends of Mr.. Tweed. The entire business of
making any popular demonstration in favor of
Mr.. Tweed at this time, when he is at least i'm
plicated In the strong charges of prodigality
and looseness made against the administr alton
of the city government, was in exceedingly
bad taste at the best.

TEN OF THE NORTH CAROLINA KU KLUx
were sentenced by Judge Bond in Raleigh
yesterday, two of them to six years at hard
labor and fine each of five thousand dollars,
one TO four years and fine of five hundred
dollars, two Of them to three years and a
similar fine, three to two years and fine,
and two to six months Imprisonment. The
sentences are severe but just, and being of a
character likely to make Ku Kluxing not only
odious but dangerous, are more likely to
abolish or decrease it in that State than
martial law could possibly do. If the sentences
are rigidly carried out, without any regard to
the family influences that may be brought to
bear, they will act as most sudden and effec-
tive Ku Klux astringent.

tunnelling Of the Harlem River, and tue I'M
provement and development Of the enormous
district in westchester county, now under the
jurisdiction of the department, are being faith
fully and theoretically pursued.
This mere glance at the works going on
under one department Of the city government
will afford some idea of the damage that
would be inflicted on property should the
supplies" be ''cut of" as ex-Mayor Have
meyer proposes. The stoppage of money
now would necessitate the dismissal of all
laborers on the boulevards, avenues,
parks and squares, as well as OF
oil policemen, gatekeepers. engineers,
surveyors and clerks in the department;
would involve the city in heavy damages for
the stoppage Of contracts for work and mate
rails would seriously damage oil works of
construction and would leave them in an
unfinished state, and would have an effect
on property which would be immediate
and tremendous. If the great improve
ments now under way should be discon-
tinued to-day for the next two or three
months real estate would receive blow
from which it would not recover in the next
five years. Experienced men declare that
its immediate depreciation would be thirty
per cent ,s
We have no hesitation in saying that the
people do not desire and will not suffer such a
calamity to fall upon the city. We do not
wish to retain dishonest or improper officers
in positions of trust. Let us have thorough
legal inquiry into the management of every
city department., and if there are found in them
any officers unfit to be there, let them
be got rid of as speedily as possible.
The people will take care of this. But do not
let us suffer intriguing and artful political ad-
venturers to use the cry of reform in order to
advance their own interests, or to block the
wheels Of the city government for the sake
of destroying any particular set of men or any
rival leaders. We care not one straw for Tam
many or anti-Tammany, for republicans or
democrats. All are equally corrupt, and the
sooner Tammany and other organizations
of similar character are broken up and
thrown where they balong-into the gutter
the better it will be for the peo-
pie and for the city. But let political
scamps fight their battles and vent their spite
in some other direction than over the public
works of the metropolis. This the people
demand, and the sooner the property owners
make their voices heard on the subject the
better will it be for their own interests.

Count Moltke lin dry tone.) You will send
nobody. 1t is useless; you can believe me.
Besides, you have not much time to reflect,
for it is now Midnight, and by four o'clock to.
morrow morning the truce expires, and shall
not grant you an instant OF delay.
General Wimpffen (already abandoning the
plan of examining the position of the enemy.) }
And yet you must we'll understand that alone
cannot undertake such decision. must con-
suit my colleagues, and do not know where
to find them at this hour in Sedan. 1t Is i'm
possible for me to give an answer by four
O'Clock, and absolutely necessary that you
should grant me prolongation of the truce.
Count Moltke obstinately refused. Count
Bismarck bent toward him and whispered q
few words in his ear, which seemed to signify
that the King would arrive at nine o'clock and
that it would be better to wait. Count Moltke,
in fact, arose and told General Wlmp6en that
he consented to a prolongatton until nine
o'clock, but that 1t would be the last limit
The surrender was by this time, in principle,
decided upon by General Wimpffen, and II he
did not sign it Immediately 1t was only to save
appearances and to diminish the responsibility
which fatally fell upon him, by dividing it as
much as possible with the other generals.
