calculated that interest would compel his
lessees to clear away the rubbish at their own
expense, and, in regaining their buried prop
erty, to rescue the burned bodies. And we
should as heartily distrust tho too careful and
calculating tenants who stopped to consider
the effect upon their insurance of any
generous efforts Of theirs to recover the
charred remains of their unfortunate employees
All are alike discredited by their INDIGESTION
and their cold indifference to the commonest
dictates Of human nature. What should have
been done in this instance needed no fore
thought or experience to prompt it. 1t was
humanity, not wisdom, which should have
at once urged and guided all hands.
This unfeeling delay and neglect have
disagreeably impressed the public mind. We
hope the officials will take warning, and that
the next time great calamity overtakes us
suddenly, and common humanity demands our
action, there viii be no five days consultation
as to what Department Of the City Govern
ment shall bear the expense of rescung the
sacred dead of a public disaster.

M1TrERS IN CUBA.

Our DISPATCHES from Havana this morning
indicate that the insurrectiOn has begun TO
exhibit renewal of vigorous vitality which
may well fill the Spanish authorities with dis
NAV. Within the last fortnight the Cubahs
have made two brilliant dashes into the
enemy's country, and have attacked with
success fortified places. The accounts which
we receive are of course colored as much
as possible by Spanish officials, but there
is no installing the significance OF these events
They cannot be explained away by stating
that Mayor and Iolguin, the places entered by
the insurgents, were for the moment in defense
less condition. 1t will not be believed that Vi
cente Garcia was at the head of any fOolhardy
or useless raid. Every detail given by the
Spaniards goes to show that the insurgents
acted with o perfect understanding OF the
matter, and that the Spaniards were surprised
and severely handled. OF course, the insur-
gents "retreatedn and the Spaniards intend to
pursue them vigorously and avenge the death
of their comrades; tho dispatch would not
be complete without those familiar words.
But the facts remain that Garcia captured
the Fort of Holgun, turned its guns upon the
Spaniards, held it against them until the next
day, innictiDg heavy losses, among them a
Spanish Lieutenant Colonel, Major, and
several other officers, and finally, after doing
great amount of damage, retired without
loss. Gen. Riquelme has established
his headquarters at Puerto Principe
for the campaign, which means, we
presume, that he intends to crush the
instruction thoroughly this time in
the Eastern Department. There has never
been an instruction which would endure so
much crushing without injury. Three times
has the Spanish Government publicly an
nounced that the rebellion was at an end, and
has ordered TIE Deums to be sung in the
churches to commemorate the defnltlye tri-
umph of Spain. 1t is entirely safe to assume
that they will have the same thing to do as
many times again. If Garcia remains at large,
they would do well to make some such an
nouncement promptly.
They do not seem to be much moro success
full with their own people than they are with
the insurgents The Intendente at Havana has
found shocking state of things prevailing at
the Custom House, and has prepared report,
which will probably remain in state of prep
aration, making disclosures which could not
but shock the Castilian mind If they were
printed. He is soon to go back to Spain, having
"partially" accomplished the reforms which he
attempted. From another dispatch it appears
that Gen. Ceballos is awaiting the arrival OF
Gen. Cordoya. But the last dispatches from
Madrid indicate Pieltain as Captain General of
Cuba. Gen. Cordova will probably not quit
tho post he has held with such dignity and
credit for many years, of Perpetual Candidate.
There is plenty of work cut cut for the next
Captain eneral, whoever he may be.

| TIE CHAKBERLALN And The CONTROLLER.
We have received from the City Chamber

TIE CHAMBERL4IN And HE CONIROLLER.
We have received from the City Chamber
lain the following note:
OFFICE OF THE CITY CHAMBERLAIN, Dec. 9s, 1872.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: Your comment in this mornings paper does me
injustice. II you will please read Controller A. II.
Green's letter. dated Dec. &c. 1871 and the regulat-
ing the duties and responsibilities Of the Chamberlain
you will perceive that have been prevented from col
ectng any interest from the deposit banks upon city
and county money. invite the closest scrutiny into
the transactions Of this Office.
FRANCIS A. PALMER. Chamberlain.
The letter of Mr.. Green, to which the Cham
berlain here refers, is letter to the depOs-
tory banks, instructing them to add the in
terest on city and county deposits to the
principal, instead of paying it to the order of
the Chamberlain, and to account for it
monthly to the Controllers office, thus ignOr-
ing the Chamberlain altogether. In at least
one case this order of the Controller seems to
have been complied with. But Mr.. Palmer
declares that it is impracticable and unwar-
ranted, and he therefore falls back upon the
letter of the law, which merely requires the
banks to pay his Office rent and clerk hire,
and s8ys nothing at all about interest. The
banks, of which Mr.. Palmer is President and
Manager of one and his nephew, the Deputy
Controller, President and Manager of another,
have consequently ceased to pay Interest,"
which is very good thing for them, however
unfortunate it may be for the city.
Perhaps we shall have to go to the Legisla-
ture for q stricter definition of the powers of
the Controller and Chamberlain respectively,
and for an act regulating the collection and
disposal of interest on the city and county
funds. The use of these large sums of money
must not be given to banks or individuals
without compensation.

Now that business interests affected by the
Louisiana anarchy are beginning to make
themselves felt, it is to be hoped that some
thing will be done to bring order out of chaos.
The Louisiana Committee, at present in thit
city, are men of good commercial standing and
substance they represent no political party,
but only the party of law, order, and peace.
They say they would be best pleased if the
whole vexed question of filing the State Of
fees were remanded to the people for settle
ment at new election under rules and regu-
latiOns which should be just beyond any cayil.
How is this to be done The most natural
impulse is to look to Congress; that body has
taken upon itself to legisate specially for the
South it was its dangerous Enforcement Law
which made the Louisiana usuTpation possible !;
and it is to Congress that the Committee pro-
pose TO 90 with their grievances. Meanwhile,
business languishes important enterprises are
suspended, and all the currents Of trade are
stagnant This is the inevitable result of the
unsettled state of things which prevails in
Louisiana. Congress is chiefly to blame for
this, because Congress gave Judge Durell the
powers of dictator and Congress dallied
weakly with the political affairs Of the State
when its investigation might have ended in
something which would have been conclusive
of the whole matter.

The last three disastrous fires in this city
originated as did that at Boston, and as 90 per
cent of all fires begin from the furnaces in the
buildings Possibly after long time these re-
peated confagrations will suggest to some in
novating architect the notion of erecting blocks
of houses heated from single furnace built
n broad courtyard remote from any COM
bustible matter.

Happily the Stokes trial is near its termina-

except as to the alleged threats of Fisk, and
the employment by Stokes of man named
Brady to accompany him about town for his
protection.

By some preposterous blunder the loss in the
Mississippi ice gorge was placed last Saturday
at the ridiculous figure of $20,OO0OO0. 1t was
first reported at 100000; but it now promises
TO amount to twice that sum.

Mr.. George Macdonald is so much better
known in this country as a novelist and poet

The strike Of the gas-stokers in London has set
people to wondering how they should get light If too
gas should give out altogether and this has brought
out the fact that there at the public wharses of
London about $1,000 barrels Of petroleum, and that
about 10000 more barrels are on their way to the
United Kingdom. The sense of safety against kgyp-
tan darkness which these figures afford IS mliSaied
by thoughts ofwhat would happen To LONDON should
all this petroleum take fire. The Pail hGN Gazette
points out that "a total illumination OF the city
darkness"

< The prosecution of the Ring has come
to an impotent conclusion indeed, when.
after all, Tweed and Mayor Hall are the
only persons indicted. There were indicted
originally Peter B. Sweeny and his brother.
Woodward, IngersOl, Connolly, Tweed, Hall,
Cook, Genet Garvey, Hugh Smith, and others
whose names aud particular deeds are already
forgotten. There were several indictments
against each of the principals, so that really
some twenty-odd indictments were found last
year - and quashed. Later charges against
Tweed are to be tried next week Hall has
been twice arralgned, and probably will not
be again and IngersOll is to be tried on an
Indictment which private energy brought
against him. Even Peter b. Sweeny and
Connolly are no longer under Indictment !;
Woodward himself can return with impunity
to the scene of his profitable operations as a
gO-between of greater rogues Legislative
Committee is still inquiring whether or not
Genet is guilty. Practically, Tweed is the only
accused member of the old Ring still in the
field for trial, and Reform will have to take its
satisfaction out of him. Thus far his old COM
rades have left him to bear the brunt and
expense of the battle; and his enemies appear
now to think the people will be satisfied with
his punishment.

Some troubles are likely to arise from the
selection of the ex-King of Hanover or his son
TO succeed to the throne of the Duchy of
Brunswick on the death of Duke William,

The Emperor of Germany will hardly permit
the peaceful accession of his enemy to power
which would chiefly be employed in under

One of the unexpected consequences of en-
larging the membership of the House of Rep
resentatives is discovered to be the necessity
Of corresponding increase of naval and mill
tary cadetships. AS these appointments are
apportioned among the members in fixed
ratio, their increase will require a reorganiza-
ton of the Naval and Military Academy. To
prevent an Overstocking of the army and navy
with graduates, the best remedy proposed is
evidently that which will prolong the term of
study and yet keep the annual graduatiOns
unchanged in number. We have midshipmen
and lieutenants enough and, since the stand
ard of admission must be kept down to suit
the low condition of prevailing systems of ed
ucation, why not make the graduates more
thorough by extending their term of study 7

With the opening of another session of the
Legislature we may expect a number of new
schemes for recognizing our City Govern
ment. The Committee of Seventy and the
Republican General Committee will undoubt-
edly each have one; and something like RI
valry between these is almost inevitable
While these plans are yet inchoate, it is too
early to offer anything more than general sug-
gestions; but it is safe to say that it is also
too early to relinquish all hope of popular
gov rnment. The people certainly have not
made up their minds that the plan of ruling
New-York by Commissions is economical, just,
wise, OF acceptable,

The Post-0flice Department has a fashion of
making its own laws. The ENTHUSIASTICALLY
order that a deficiency of stamps on letter
subjects it to what is equivalent to a fine is
found to be Illegal; that such a rule should
ever have been made is amazing. The other
day the same Department was gravely dis
cussing whether it was legal for Postmaster
TO break open letter if he suspected there
might be something wrong inside According
20 the Post-Ofiice Department one would sup
pose the world is not governed half enough.

on Saturday evening found no difficulty in
comprehending his description of the invisible
rays of the solar spectrum. In this field the
lecturer is more particularly at home. The
relations of radiant heat to light long ago
elected from him some of the most lucid ex-
plantations that have ever rendered the pages
of science popular. This lecture was worthy
of his reputation. We have also to thank
Prof Tyndall for a conscientious determine
ton to meet punctually his engagements as a
lecturer, with which he allows neither stormy
weather nor personal illness to interfere.

Ex-senator Harry G. Genet announced on
Saturday, in giving his evidence before the
Harlem Court House Commission, that it was
a common thing for members of the late Ring
to sign each others names to documents and
drafts whenever convenient. If this practice
was as general as represented, the District At
torney evidently has good deal of work
ahead of him. Most fOliJ are accustomed to
look upon such commercial trahsactiolsp as
Dir. Genet alludes to as very nearly identlea,
