The government owes protection to
every one of her own citizens, who reside
within her borders, owes her allegiance, is
prepared to do service in her behalf, and
contributes to hersupport The protection
afforded the citizen is based upon the du-
ties the citizen owes her Technically, we
say that the protection of the government
extends to her citizens every where and
under all circumstances and that it is
bound to use the whole force at its COM
mand-that is the army and navy-for that
purpose. Is this so ? Carried to its fullest
extent, does it not lead to an absurdity
There have been several instances where
in the claim has been, recently, made, all of
which, while not initiating against the
general proposition, show its absurdity,
when claimed to its fullest extent. At the
time of the Mackenzie raid it was attempt
ed TO be justified by the claim that we
could invade Mexico, becau e she did not
prevent Indian raids, until its underpin
nings were knocked out from under it by a
similar raid of Indians from the United
States into Mexico. IL was then very
quickly discovered that what was " sauce
tor the goose % was MT sauce for the gan
der" and the claim, in that case, was suf
fcred to lie dormant. 1t was even carried
so far that the officials of Minnesota re-
quesled our government to protect two of
her citizens, who had been arrested, in the
British provinces, while engaged in kid
mapping expedition. Although this was a
complete proof of the absurdty of the pro-
position, in its entirety, yet more than
three quarters of the press of the United
States clamored for governmental inter.
ference and protection tor these kidnap
pers. The claim is again made that a, Spain
cannot protect the lives of American citi-
zens in Cuba, 1t is the duty of the United
states to take possession of the island with
her army, supported by the navy, and af-
lord such protection. In the first place
such an act would be, ips0 .ftcto, declare.
ton OF war against Spain, which the Presi
dent is not authorized to make. Congress
might do 1t, as it has the power, strictly
speaking, to declare war against any coun-
try with or without cause. But this aside
who are we to protect When our army
arrived there, they would, probably, find
that peaceable citizens were not molested
Our protection does not extend to criminals.
We arc not bound to protect violators
of our own laws, of the laws of other ma
tons, or of international law. Yet, this is
the only class that we are called upon to
protect. Our flag and government protect,
and only protect, such of her citizens, So
journng or travelling abroad, as obey the
laws OF the country in which they are.
Protection of citizens goes to this extent
and no further.
But does 1t, even,go as far as this Take
the case of SPANS power in Cuba, as claim
cd by those so anxious for war, if you

Although one may not always agree
with Senator Sumner, yet his sound states
lnanshp, profound scholarship, and his
eminent patriotism and love of country are
conceded by all. His views upon any and
every question, connected with govern
mental affairs, are of Importance, and en-
titled to weight and consideration When
he speaks, it is only after due deliberation
and for purpose. Upon recent occas-
ion, he expressed himself in favor of the
policy and power of the general govern
ment to resume specie payments. He said
that % the present state of the financial
" embarrassment was.a relic of the war and
that, in his judgment, it ought to be
" closed up, like all other relics of the
war" 1t is one of the few "relics Of
the war" still clinging to us, and, with
Mr.. Sumner, we think that eight years has
offered ample time in which to "close it
up" Wherever there is WILL said he,
there is a way "and tie will only is lack
ing" We have had deprecated currency
long enough, and we trust that Mr.. Sum-
ner and his colleagues, in Congress, this
winter, will supply the will and find the
way for an immediate return to specie
payments.

The recent New York state election rives
curious illustration of how little worth
are campaign arguments, unless they are
addressed to the reason of the voters. In
the midst of the campaign, after the ticket
for state officers had been fully made up on
both sides, defalcation, to a considerable
amount, was brought to light in the Office
of the state treasurer, The state treasurer.
Thomas Raincs, was, originally, elected by
the republicans, and was conceded TO be a
man of ability and integrity, but, having
supported Mr. Greeley in the presidential
canvass of last yoar, was thrown over
board by the republican state convention
and was, subsequently, nominated for re-
election by the democrats. BY the laws of
the state of New York, all payments, etc.
from the treasurer's office must pass through
the comptroller's office, and be their coun-
tersigned, endorsed, proper entry thereof
made, or some other course taken, so that
the one department may be a complete
check on the other. The comptroller was
Nelson X. Hopkins, who was re-nomnated
for election by the republican party. If
these two men had personally attended to
the duties of their Office, or had made a
more frequent examination thereof, the de-
falcation could not have occurred. They.
however, in the management of the affairs
of their respective offices, probably "fol-
lowed in the footsteps of their illustrious
predecessors The defalcation, moreover
could not have occurred without the rcmiss-
ness OF the confidential clerks of both-one
actually guilty of appropriating the money,
ana the other of almost criminally allow
ing him SO to do. The party newspapers
OF New York bristled all over with charges
and counter-charges against Raines and
Hopkins for their alleged remissness in the
affair, as the particular paper supported
one or the other. All of the present state
officers, with, we believe, single excep.
ton, were candidates for reelection, but
these individuals were selected as the oh.

Result of II Kerosene Lamp. ExpIo-
sion,

The ill-effects of the explosion of kero-
sene lamps, which have been so common,
have been enlarged upon by the newspa-
pers. The following incident, which the
Lawrence (Mass.) Am0ican of Monday re-
lates, is perhaps to be put down on the
other side of the account " About five
months ago we published an account OF the
sudden and remarkable loss of voice to a
highly-esteemed and well-known young
lady of this clty-Alss Maggie Unmack. At
that time she was seized with a fainting
sensation, finding upon recovery that her
voice had gone. We are now most happy
to announce that in still more remark
able manner she has ms suddenly regained

CURE OF CATARRH.

not been for want OF remedies in nD.ssil medical
that the treatment Of this disease, so prevalent
among us, has fallen in dlsrepute with the gen

many years practice, making the disease a

a Nice Bank Taxation Question

The city assessors of Albany, N. Y, as
sessed the Albany Savings Bank $4,000,
surplus. Cashier Martin says the entire
surplus of the bank is made up of United
States bonds, and that the law will not al
low such bonds to be taxed, under any cir
cumstances The assessor persisted in re-
tanning their tax. The bank commenced
suit against the assessors, compelling them
to take the assessment from the tax book.
The case will be argued at,Schenectady this
week. District Attorney Moak of Albany,
says bank has no right to select any par
ticular s$75,000 andR claim that S75. 900
represents the surplus and not any other
property. The surplus of the Albany Say
ings Bank consists of its earnings over and
above expenses. The mortgages held by
the bank, it is claimed, are no portion of
its surplus, for it is with these mortgages
that surplus is earned. The difference
between the annual interest received and
the annual expenses of the bank is the only
surplus the bank has. If this is invested
IN United States bonds it cannot be taxed.
The surplus of the Albany Insurance com
pany is thus invested For this reason the
surplus cannot be lawfully taxed.

ONE OF THE MOST HORRIBLE GRIMES
that has occurred in this section It seems
that man, whose name the travellers did
not know, went to his home Friday night
probably under the influence of liquor and.
for some cause or other, became angcrcd at
his wife. He caught her by the head and
commenced abusing her in a fearful man
ner and rendered her insensiblc by frequent
blows. The members of another family
living in the same house, hearing the I'M
usual disturbance, came to the rescue of
the frightened woman and
SUCCEEDED IN RELEASING HER
from the attacks Of her now infatuated hus-
band. Finding that she had been roughly
used by the inhuman brute calling himself
her husband, the neighbors took her to the
residence of her parents, short distance
from the scene of the disturbance. On THEN
return to the woman's residence they found
her husband
LYING DEAD UPON THE FLOOR
and covered almost from head to foot with
his own life blood
1t is more than probable that when the
man saw the inanimatc form Of his wife
borne away by the neighbors he supposed
he had killed her, and to avoid the penalty
OF the crime, which he thought c had
committed, cut his throat and thus put an
end forever to his own misdecds. The pro-
per authorities were at once notified and an
investigation will be made

The power of the government to arrest
was not touched, but the court ordered a
verdict because Dana did not knowingly
conspire with johnson "to Cypress Lamar"
and because he ''dd not willfuly assist in

and greater question of the power of the

he asked to show him the way to Washing

quaintance and started off with the officer.
On reaching Danbury street the sharper
again came up with the officer and tried TO
take "his friend" for which Mr.. Clark
told him to go off, which not being done,
he gave him asound thrashing. Mr.. Boothby
was taken to the American House. where
Mr.. Sharper made his third attempt,
claiming it to be shameful of the officer to
have separated him from his friend. Mr..
Clark told him what he thought of him and
his little game, which caused the rogue to
beat nasty retreat, amidst the jeers of
large number of gentlemen who were pres
ent in the hall Mr.. Boothby had in his
pockets large amount of money, dia-
mond pin, and valuable gold watch and
chain, which undoubtedly attracted the at

an easy prey, his would-be victim being
somewhat "under the weather."
