offender only against the municipal law OF the
country which she invades, and can be pun
ished only by the Ter loci. which does not run
beyond the territorial Jurisdiction; while the
blockade is an act of war; to be enforced I'M
der the laws of war. Where there is no war;
no recognition of beligercnt rights, there
cannot, properly speaking, be blockade
! The right to pursue blockade runner beyond
the maritime Jurisdiction of the blockader Is a
corollary of the right of search and seizure on
the high seas, and belongs exclusively to bellig-
erent powers Now the Virginius had escaped
out of the maritime jurisdiction OF Spain two
days before she WAS taken, and stopping her ON
the high seas after that seems to be reas-
sertiOn of the claim which Secretary Fish
compelled the Spanish Government to with
draw i'm 1869. If Spain refuse to surrender the
vessel and make apology and reparation for
her capture, she will thereby Invite us to recog-
nize the Cubans as belligerents, and one of the
first steps of the Government will perhaps be
to comply with the invitation.
The nationality of the vessel may perhaps
give rise to more dispute than the other point.
She seems to have been sailing under an
American register and to have been regularly
cleared from Kingston by the American Con-
sui, and on former occasions she has been
officially recognized as an American ship and
protected accordingly by our naval forces.
Whether there has been any change in her
ownership such as to destroy her American
character will of course be a subject Of in
curry; but no evidence of a change of that
description is now in the possession OF the
Government, and we must assume that no
such change has occurred until her captors
prove the contrary.
Even if the seizure of the vessel had been
perfectly legal, the barbarous execution of
RYAN and his associates as pirates would
excite the Indignation of the civilized world.
A pirate is q robber who wars upon every
body indscrimnately and is not entitled to
the protection of any flag. Piracy says
Kent, sis robbery on the high seas without
lawful authority and done amino farandi and
lin the spirit and intention of universal
"hosfilty.r 1t is true that certain statutes
of the United States extend the punish
mcnt of piracy to ohenses which are
properly simple robbery at sea, and
under these statutes certain prisoners
taken with the Confederate cruisers were pros
ecuted in this city and Philadelphia i'll 1851
But the United States Government was COM
PEELED TO recede from its hasty and odous
action, and the application of the statute to
insurgents engaged in regular warfare was
felt to be gross abuse of criminal law. We
have been patient with the hideous tyranny
at Havana until it may he a question whether
patience has not ceased to be virtue. AT
any rate it is clear that change OF policy
will be demanded of our Government by an
indignant people if there is not prompt set
tlement OF this latest difficulty.

counter-statements of NJ. Theirs were shrewdly

counter statements of M. Theirs were shrewdly
designed to effect contrary purpose.
It is inconceivable that the time, short as it
may have been, which these trimmers have
had since the last letter of the Count dc
Chambord, should not have led them to con-
template the results on their own fortunes OF the
want Of Monarchical cause for which TO iight.
The proposition to extend the term of President
MacMahon's Office for ten years was one 10
perpetuate a state of Reorganization, when, tor
the qualification OF their ambitious or mercenary
projects, it was necessary that there should DC
government having the form at least OF s0hdlty'
The Monarchists are fighting on side when
has lost some of its prestige; and unless
something is done to retrieve 1t, there Is no
good reason to believe that they can count,
for great while, on the support OF members
whose greatest fear is that they may be
identified with "a losing cause. Almost
breath of wind has shaken the hopes that the
Monarchists have built up for a continuance
of power The letter Of the Count de Cham
bord deprived them of a cause to fight; but
their darkened prospects now threaten to place
them in the same losing position as that OF
the Republicans after the resignation of u.
Theirs
One of the first results Of the slight success
which the Republicans have gained is an
overture Of the Monarchists to agree to re-
duction of five years from the term of pro-
longation which they at first proposed. Al
though we have no positive mention of the
cause which led the Ministers to offer
their designations, we can find very
good one in the fact that the
frightened prospects of the Republicans
lead them to fear that they will no longer
have a sufficient support in tho Assembly for
the measures Of repression which they adopted
during the recess, and for which they have
had the temerity to propose an increase III Sc
verify. But more important concession from
the Monarchists is the consent which they
have given that MacMahon shall be styled
President Of the Republic" 1t is an agree
ment to q modification of the demand for a
declaration of the Republic which is favorable
to the Left Center, and the statement that
the Right has gained majority can
only be interpreted in this sense. Ii
would be premature for the friends OF
Republcanism to indulge in any great ex-
ultation at this time for such is the uncer-
tainty of politics in the Assembly-we do not
desire to be understood as referring TO France
ut largc-that an extraordinary show of vigor
10 the Monarchists may again draw to their
side enough waverers to give them small
majority. But there is decided improve
ment in the political atmosphere, and for this
we should be duly thankful.

the condition of tho Bank OF FraDce-chspges
which, mighty az they are. are still less than
the transformations produced by war and
war measures, paper money aud speculation, in
the finances of the United States. a Govern
ment debt of Ss8O,OOO0oO, representing ire
deemabe notes borrowed and spent, every one
recognizes as an element of weakness IN the
Rank of France. 1t effectually prevents the
Bank from returning to specie payments. A
Government debt of s393000,0O0, held by our
National Banks az security for their notes, just
"a the Bank of France holds S2G00OO,OOO In
French Treasury bonds for the security OF Its
notes, is in like manner an lnsurmountaDie oD-
stacle to any lasting resumption OF specie
payments by tho National Banks here on
their $34S 100000 of irredeemable paper. The
proper reserve to be held for the security OF
paper purporting to be convertible into gold Is
gold itself, and nothing else. AS for the rest OF
our inconvertible paper money, the S41O,OOO,OOO
issued by Government, it has no security what
ever but the taxes collected for the support OF
Government which taxes are now ard are likely
to be for some time quite inadequate to meet
the profuse appropriations Of salary grabbing
Congress.
Inc OIL THO urtlclo III IWt ECViVf"'oS
considered the Banks position to be no en-
yabe one two years ago. The title which he
gave his essay was "The Danger to which
" the Bank of France is Exposed" Comparing
the condition of the Bank two weeks ago with
its condition in October, 1871, we find the tre-
mendous increase Of $2O2, 100000 in its circula-
ton, the comparatively unimportant gain of
$4,000 900 in its specie, and the great expan-
sion of $960O0,0OO in the trade discounts at
Paris and the branches, exclusive Of the adj
yances on bullion and securities. Gold and
silver still circulate feeby i'll Paris, just the
same as Richardson's silver does here. Like
bears, wolves and wild cats in New-Eng-
land, the coins are occasionally seen,
but few have the opportunity FREE
auently to inspect them. But we must
bring this too long article to close The
figures we have given, interpreted by the
events we have seen and are to see, should
impress these truths on every mind: |. That
no Government can with impunity violate the
sacredness of contracts by changing the stand
ard of value III. That the race of spectators
begotten of these interferences with the value
of money are sure in the end to come to grief,
their ruin being complete, while the honest
masses who temporarily suffer with them
speedily recover with the restoration of the
true standard. Let Congress take heed and
legslate in the interest of fair dealing, both
for Government and people.
