Who is Responsible for the Panic.

The ~. Y. Sun, in the course of
an able and and suggestive article
upon the "IIard Times Ahead"
makes the following inquiries, as it
regards the origin of the present finan-
cial panic in the country -
"What is the cause of this great
misfortune? Who has brought such
an immense calamity upon the coun-
try? Why is it that all this wretched-
ness must be endured? These are
questions that every thoughtful man
will seek to answer for himself. 1t
cannot be expected that all will agree
in the solution of SUCH problem; but
there are certain facts which are es-
sential 10 the case, and which no one
who attemps to study it should leave
out of view"
II adds truly that the Republican
party has exercised unqualified con-
troll over the national Government
and over most of the State Govern
ments for more than twelve years.
No party ever had such authority be-
fore or encountered so little or so in
effectual opposition. The people have
given their entire confidence to this
party and whatever its statesmen
and its legislators have desired has
been done. Its dictates respecting
the finances of the country and re-
speeding all our business interests have
been submitted to with more than
cheertulness. The public have been
forward and Jealous to obey, and have
borne under its direction an amount
of taxation such as scarcely any peo-
pie ever endured before. Its power
has been well nigh absolute its re-
sponsibility is commensurate with its
power. 1t is therefore in the legisla-
ton of the Republican party and in
its administration of the Government
that we must look for the origin of
the mistortunes in which we are now

Every year increases the populari-
~ ofthis valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAZE DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. "A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer Of Massachusetts, says,
The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;

RATION for its intended purposes

An Insult from Spain to the Ameri.
can Government!

The Cold Blooded Murder of the
Virginius's Passengers.
The capture of the American steam
ship Virginius, on the high seas, by
the Spanish gunboat Tornado, Lear
Jamaica, Oct. 31st, is an unfortunate
fact with the startling information re-
ceived from Havana that four of her
passengers, Bernabe de Varona, Pc
dro Cespedes, Jesus del Sol, and w.
A. c. Ryan had been shot in Santiago
de Cuba.
On the 9TH of July, 1869, Gen.
Caballero de Rodas, then Captain
General of Cuba, issued decree in
which all vessels carrying articles con-
trabaDd of war in Cuban waters were
threatened with capture and their
crews with trial for piracy. On the
10th Of the same month Secretary
Fish protested against this edict and
proved to Spain that under the treaty
Of 1895 with this Government, she
had the right to stop and search Am
erican vessels only in time of war.
During the past four years the
American people have borne much
from Spain and more from their own
Administration, acting as the friend
and servitor Of Spain. Will they
bear this new outrage and this shock
ing bloodshead? Or will even Hamil-
ton Fish be made to feel the necessity
OF at last indicating the honor and
maintaining the rights of the United
States
LATER-MoRE SPANISH MURDER OF
AMERICANS -WAsHMGToN, Nov. IL.
Secretary Fish received to-day a
telegram from the Consult General at
Havana, stating that the Havana pa
pers publish statement apparently
from an official source, that the cap
tain of the Virglnius, thirty-six of the
crew and sixteen others were shot on
the 18th and 9Th insts., at Santiago de
Cuba The Secretary Immediately
proceeded to the Execu i've Mansion
and showed the telegram to the Presi-
dent. A short time thereafter the
Secretary telegraphed to the Consul
Genera to verify the statement from
official sources.

The Old Dead Issue Revived.

In the Boston Daily Globe, of
Thursday, Nov. 6, under the heading
of-"Results of the Elections wo
find the following significant para
graph -
at would be the height of foolishuess to
doubt, for moment, what the result of this
will be. The people throughout the country
are not to be begnilcd into rcnonncing all that
the last twelve years have accomplished, and
now that the Dem ocrats have n recognized
standing they will be squarely met OH these
questions and defeated, as they were in the
elections of go, "a '6S and 70. 1t is mpos-
sble to draw an. other conclusion The
Democracy of day is the Democracy of
war times. The spots of the leopard are no
more immntabe than the principles on which
this party is founded You may twist and en-
plain il rs you will but to this complexion it
must come at last A national triumph FIR
the Democratic party means q subversion Of
all that has been gained to the country at an
expense OF hundreds of millions of treasure,
and hundreds of thousands of lives. We do
not mean that slavery coulu ever be restored;
but the accursed doctrine Of the independence
and sovereignty Of States, which il was sup.
posed the war had settled once and forever,
would again come up as n mOOted question:
The knowledge of this, and it will come home
to every one in the event of Il gencal election,
will inevitably prevent the Democratic party
from ever obtaining possession of the Nation
al Government while on the other hand, it
will force restless and Disconnected Republi-
cans to forget and forego minor and personal
grievances for the general good
1t appears from the above that the
Republicans no longer being able to
stand upon the popularity Of General
Grants administration, are about to
return to their old, long worn out
Southern Slavery issue, of other days.
No one but a fool and the son of a
fool will be cheated or deceived by
this exhausted issue The party thai
attempts such deception Is utterly dis
honest and ought to he punished fo
undertaking to obtain power under
false pretencc and by most bare
faced fraud. Slavery is dead and it is
utterly impossible to revive it again.
All parties in the South as well as in
the North, have accepted the issues
and results of the late war-the aboli-
ton Of Slavery and all--"and are
willing to abide by them through time
and eternity" Then why revive them
unless to humbug the pople ? 1t
seems to us that these defunct issues
have deceived people long enough,
and if the Grant Republicanism can
put no other principles at issue against
the Democracy, they ere "hard up
and the Democratic party is blameless
indeed. Why not put at issue the
measures and principles that have been
carried out by the Republican party
since its advent into power in 1861 ?
More especially, those that the party
has adopted since March 4, 1863
With these at stake, and in a fair and |
honest canvass, we are willing to leave
the matter with the people for their
decision, and will abide the result.

The Cuban Massacre.

SlOSC VII IliC iICclo VI VIC VCopapoi
stating that Gen. Sickles had procur-
ed an order from the Madrid Govern
ment staying all proceedings in the
cases of the captives at Santiago de
Cuba, comes the news from Havana
that forty.nine victims have been adj
ded to the list. The captain and
thirty.six of the crew of the Virginius
were shot on Friday last, and twelve
Cuba MS were put to death Oh Saturday
Thus within week after the seizure
of the steamer, the rage for blood that
seems to possess the Spainiards in
Cuba has claimed more than half a
hundred lives. Assuming the report
to be correct, as we may reasonably
do, since it comes through Spanish
censorship at Havana, it is difficult to
match the atrocity which it relates
with anything in the record of civi]iz-
ed warfare. The act stands quite
alone as a deliberate outrage upon
common humanity, sending thrill Of
horror through every heart and Great
ING amazement that such q thing can
be possible at this day, The butch
cry ofprisoners has long been con
fined to the code of savage tribes
and this revival of the inhuman prac
tice is especially revolving when it is
considered that if the crew and pass
gers of the Virginius were guilty of
any crime it WAS that Of seeking the
liberty of their land 1t was neither
as rebels nor as pirates that they died,
bnt AS patriots.
Such preparations as the Washing
ton Government is now announced as
making, by the reinforcement OF our
squadron in Cuban waters and the
strengthening of our navy, come alto
gether too late. With regard to the
case of the Virginius, the Government
has no right to precipitate a quarrel
by taking definite action before the
technical question of the vessels
character and status il determined !;
but, unfortunatelw. the wrong was
done before the Virginius was captur-
ed. The act at which the whole
world now shudders follows naturally
as a consequence of the weak, silly |
and pusilanimous policy pursued by
Secretary Fish toward the Spanish |
authorities in Cuba. There can be no
question that had the sanctity of the
American flag and the rights of Ameri-
can citizens been maintained hereto
fore with any degree Of vigor this
seizure OF "a vessel carrying our registry
and our colors, and this murder of our
citizens, would never have occurred.
But Mr.. Fish's foolish concern for the
convenience of the new Spanish Re
public, and Minister Sickles's appetite
for popularity at Madrid, for fctes and
decorations and gifts and pettings at
Court, have overbalanced the demands
of National honor, uutil concessions
and humiliations on our part have en-
boldened the Spanish in Cuba to this
last act ofaggression. The dispatches
which Mr.. Fish has been so busily in.
diting since the beginning of troubles
have been received at Santiago, and
the contemptuous answer comes in
the announcement of continued eXecu-
tons. The responsibility for these
lives and for future complications
rests upon Mr. Fish and his shameful
|y weak foreign policy.
