The whole notional debt of Great Britain,
amounting to So. 700, ,OOO,OO is held by her
own capitalists, and, In addition thereto, all
British municipal debts, estimated at $780,
100000. 1t is stated on good authority that
the bonds of other nations of the world, in
cluding those of political and municipal sub
divisions of other countries, owned in Great
Britain, fully eqaal the total of the British
debt. or say $4, 200, ,OOO,O0 1t is stated that
the debts of all kinds due the capitalists OF
Great Britain by the nations of the East yield
100000, 900 per annum, or $500, 900.
AT a general average of from six to seven
per cent. this amount of interest would lndl-

The Credit MObiRicr Suit.

Hartford, Conn.,, November 28.-Thc
important Credit Mobilier suit, which was
tried in this city last October, has been de-
cided by .. s. Judges Hunt and Shipman,
and the opinion filed in the District Court to-
day. The motion of defendants to dismiss
the bill involving the question of jurisdiction
was decided in favor of the Government.
on the second point the court sustains the de-
murrer AMI dismisses the bill as to the parties
who dcmurred. The ground of the demur-
the Credit Mobilier frauds is too remote to be
reached by the process pursued, or any other,
pecuniary interest to be reached by the bill.
The court takes the view that no trust was
anywhere raised in behalf of the Govern
ment. The injunction was dissolved.

Commissioners to let a bridge that

the bridge, and the job was awarded

raj, one of the best agricultural pa
pers in the West, and by the way a
strong Grange advocate. 1t appears
as a communication, of course, and is
not endorsed by the Rltrai. The ar
ticle presents at least some true ideas
though the writer is possibly a little
inclined to be iuiberal:
Railroad monopoly is only one
manifestation Of the deadly disease
which has fastened itself upon
the vitals Of the country, and viii
if some radical remedy is not applied
utterly destroy the life Of its victim.
That evil, that disease is eXtrava-
gance. Extravaganza in eating, in
drinking, in dress, in almost every
habit and action OF our daily lives.
The farmers of the West must not
expect to permanently better their
condition by waging "A warfare upon
railroad monopoly alone. Railroad
monopoly is merely an outgrowth OF
this same prolific extravaganza.
Where railroads are robbing the pro-
Queer of one dollar, whisky, beer,

The Republic says: Among the
miscellaneous measures of merit that
will engage the attention of Congress
is the postal telegraph system recon-
mended by the Postmaster General.
We are fully convinced that the toll
on messages of twenty words, at u
uniform rate of twenty-five cents,
and one cent a word additional,
would not merely be sufficient to pay
expenses, but leave q considera-
BILE profit to the Government.
We do not see the necessity Of pur-
chasing the present telegraph lines.
The Government can construct lines
of its own, leaving these lines on the
hands of their owners, unless they
choose to sell them ut what they are
worth, and not at what their inflated
stock represents.
It is estimated that $l2,000,0 600 in
cash will replace the present lines,
except the buildings, and these arc
not generally needed because there
would be room at the post offices.
This system would save money -
all classes of people, and make the
telegraph, by means Of stamped teic-
graph cards, which every man can
carry in his pocket, like the postal
cards, the usual means OF intercom-
munication, and break down at least
one grasping and powerful mon0po-
ly. This scheme cannot fail OF re-
ceiving favorable consideration.

The general discussions OF the ques'
ton of supplying cheap transporta-
ton between the East and the West
has evolved the following plan,
which seems to be worthy OF full
consideration at least: The Govern
ment to construct double-track
railway owning m erely the road-bed
and charging tolls thereon, as on
canal leaving to private parties, I'M
der certain regulations, to run freight
trains at their option. The Republic
saws: at will be found, after many
attempts at legislation, that active
competition, by the improvement OF
water lines, and by the construction
of one or more railway beds, like a
great highway, open to all parties,
will be the most efficient If not the
only eifectual means toward regula'
ting the tariff Of ireights.

Virginius Affair.

War between the United States
and Spain is threatened in conse-
quence of the capture of the steamer
Virginius by the Spanish war ship
Tornado, and the shooting of her
passengers and crew as pirates. The
Virginius sailed under the United
States flag and was regularly cleared
from an English port by an Ameri-
can Consul. The capture took place
off Jamaica, but whether in Spanish
waters or on the high seas, seems an
unsettled question. The vessel was
boarded, her flag hauled down and
the Spanish flag substituted; her
passengers and crew were transferred
to the Tornado, prize crew put on
board, and the vessel taken as a
prize to Santiago de Cuba where, as
now reported, all on board were put
to death, and the heads Of the officers
of the ship were severed and carried
on pixies through the city. Details
are given in our inside columns.
Active preparations for war are in
progress at our navy yards, and some
war vessels have already sailed fol-
Cuban waters. The President will
lay the matter before Congress for
action. Our Government will OF
course demand, if it has not already
done so, the trial and punishment OF
the officers under whose orders the
outrage was committed. Any fur
Their such barbarities will bring down
upon Spain vengeance at the hands
of Great Britain and the United States.
The country is thoroughly aroused,
and money and troops are being Of
fered lavishly for the aid of the Gu
bans against the Spanish Govern
ment.

IS We Did Lt.''

This is the boast of all the Demo-
cratic papers in the country since the
election. The New York World
leads those of the east in claiming
every thing for the straight old
Democratic party. The Chicago
Times realizes the weakness Of the
old party in the West, and the utter
uselessness of trying Immediately
to marshal its forces under the old
name, says "we" the farmers, the
grangers, the Anti-Monopolists, the
Rrformers, and the Democracy, did
it. The Times thus takes the World
to task for being in too great haste to
tell the fact that the Farmers move
ment is all for the glory of the DEM
ocracy:
The World the organ Of the putrid
Tammany ring i'm New York, baW!s
out: +" We have not only triumphed
in New York, but have carried Nir-
ginia, carried Wisconsin, carried
"TeXas," etc. Who are 1--WE" that
have achieved SO many wonderful
things and what do 1--WE" want
Are 1--WE" John MorriSey, prize
fighter, who want the stake money
Or are 1--WE" II. M. T. Hunter, who
want $500, 100000 from the public
treasury for our lost niggers? Or
are 1--WE" a ring of confidence gam
blers who want to empty the treas
ury into our pockets on pretense of
digging a new Mississippi through
the Allegheny mountains?
The World and the Times both
seek the ultimate triumph of the old
Democracy under the old name and
flag. The difference is that the
World and followers in the East are
not willing to drop the name even for
one campaign, while the Times and
it's satellites are willing to "stoop to
conquer willing to lay aside the
old name for a year or two-pretend
to be dead-willing to be or do any
thing, and hide their time, in hopes
to recruit their forces for the next
Presidential campaign.
