Tho Burial OF william III. seward


Yesterday morning. under clouded sky
and drizzling rain, the obsequies of the late
patriot and statesman. William Fl. Seward,
were performed at Auburn, in this State.
The darkness Of the heavens was only q
reflex Of the gloom that filed all hearts
there and Of thousands oil over the land
for the nation feels that it has lost a great
citizen III the man who now lies lifeless under
the sod at Fort Hill. All the simple honor
which republic can bestow upon the worthy
dead was willingly accorded to his memory.
Flags were lowered to half mast; the depart
ments of the general government over which
he SO ably presided were closed; solemn
bells tolled, and where men of state could not
attend the funeral in person words of signiA-
cant coincidence were forwarded to the afflicted
family. The sad story Of the funeral is told
elsewhere. Around the coffin stood
his children and some of his old
colaborers in the various fields where
in he had fought his sturdy battle Of
life. Those who will read Of the visible sor-
row which rushed from the heart to the eyes in
tears, as an old associate looked upon the
marble pallor Of the face of the dead,
will be touched with the thought that
amid all the absorbing and stormy battles
of the political arena fast friendships
are formed which time cannot destroy. The
plain but beautiful ceremonies which marked
the consignment of William H. Seward re-
mains to earth are such, after all, as any man
might wish for in his own regard when health
had passed away. In the fulness of sympathy,
the heartfelt prayer, the hush of the sorrowtng
town, the mourning deeper than the
trappings of woe, even in the gloom
of the day, we're seen such regret
as can only wait upon those who have lived
and died up to their mission on earth accord
ing to their light. He lived a career the
greatest might envy and closed his days in the
peace of home, which the poet vainly prayed
for who sung of another Auburn
AS a hare whom horns and hounds pursue.
Pants to the place from whence at first she dew.
He had tasted all the strong delight and Bit
terness Of power and fame. and then the mel
lowed flavor of ''blest retirement, friend to
life's decline 1t is not an idyl but a
story of yesterday.

The LAC LA BELLE DISASTER The foun-
dering Of this propeller is unhappily associated,
as most such disaters are, with loss of life.
As our news columns testify this morning, five
men at least are known to have perished.
When most Of the passengers and crew took

THE WATERFORD BANK RoBBERY.-We pre-
sent in another column the details Of one of
the most daring bank robberics on record.
Shortly after midnight OF Sunday the
Saratoga County Bank building in Water
ford N. Y, was entered by nine masked ruff
fans, who Immediately proceeded to gag and
bind the cashier, his family and servant. This
being done to their satisfaction, the unfortu-
nate cashier was dragged down to the bank
vault below, and, with four pistols pointed at
his head and bowie knife at his heart, he re-
luctantly disclosed the lock combinations,
thus enabling his merciless captors to
secure the contents OF the safe, valued
at upwards of five hundred thousand dollars.
As will be seen by our special despatch, the
thieves are already tracked to certain extent,
two of the supposed perpetrators Of the rob-
berry and outrage being arrested at Hudson
City within few hours of their leaving Wa
.erfor.i We also give the numbers and dates
of most OF the United States bonds and other
securities stolen, SO that if the villains escape
arrest they cannot easily dispose Of their plum

that radical administration would come
up TO tho high requirements of the times
and TO certain extent justify the pa
tience of the civilized nations, but particu-
larly the patience of the American people.
Our latest hope has been blasted like
the first Zorriila tells the world that no
reforms can be introduced in Cuba 80 long as
q single man remains in arms against the
government As for Porto Rico. the promises
of the revolution are to he fulfilled so far as
they can be fulfilled without jeopsrdizing the
preservation of the colonies 1t seems impos-
sible for the Spanish people to learn the
lessons of experience Time WAS when
Spanish monarch could boast that the sun
never set on his dominions. How the mighty
has fallon Mexico and Peru, the marvellous
conquests of Cortez and Pizarro all that Spain
owned on the American Continent, all that she
possessed among the islands of the sea, all is
gone with the exceptions of Porto Rico and
Cuba Much of this mighty colonial Empire
might have been saved had the Spanish gov
ernment been wise aud known how and when
to yield From all her past experience Spain
seems 10 have learned nothing. She knows
not how to yield; she cannot make up her
mind TO surrender. aud the day seems close at
hand when Spain shall be compelled to give
up the last remnant of her once magnificent
Indian Empire.
From what we have said it il manifest that
we have no great hopes of Spain either at
home or abroad. Amadeus has, no doubt.
done we'll in most difficult circumstances. But
the Spanish people, as whole, are not salts
fled, and the political party leaders seem de-
termined to make no sacrifice for the general
good of the country. This insurrection will,
no doubt, be put down ; but the suppression
of this revolt will not make an end Of the
Carlists or quench the republican spirit or
destroy the hopes of the adherents of the
Prince Of the Asturias As for Cuba, Spain will
be allowed to do her best TO pacify for little
while longer; but If paci6cation and emanci-
patton have not both become facts before the
early Spring Of 1873 the American people will
demand interference and the administration
will find it necessary to settle this Cuban ques-
tion finally and forever.

munity. Now there Is nothing in the
general condition. circumstances. progress
or prospects of the country to cause
such difference in the financial and
commercial situation within 80 short time.
There was not. in fact, any real or substantial
cause for the disturbance week or two ago.
IL was the result merely Of temporary specula-
ton. AS consequence reaction necessarily
followed. and there is return to the normal
state OF things. The country has reached that
point OF prosperity, development and progress
that nothing in the ordinary course Of events
can seriously disturb its business or onward
course These Wall street perturbations are
but as ripples on the ocean. With the settle
mont Of our political affairs during the next
few weeks for another four years, whichever
way the present contest may end, with that
peace and harmony between all sections which
we hope for and with the consolidation and
wonderful advancement of our republican
empire. there is every reason to expect great
improvement in business. The vast increase
of population, production and wealth of the
United States and the consequent aggregation
OF capital at this financial and commercial |
metropolis must in the course of o few years
give New York controlling. influence in the
monetary transactions and exchanges of the
world. The tide Of progress will overwhelm
successively the disturbing specuatiops of
stock and gold gambling cliquos. and the
Republic will march on rapidly to the
grandest destiny ever attained by any nation.
