THE POLICE JUSTICE QUESTION. argu-
ment on the constitutionality Of the new
Police Justice appointments was concluded
yesterday, and the decision Of the Court is
reserved. Meantime the question comes up
before the Oyer and Terminer in a new form,
and one which which proves the importance
Of its early and final decision. A person
convicted of o crime by the Court
Of Special Sessions, presided over
by the newly appointed Judges, moves
for release from imprisonment on the ground
that he has been tried before Court that has
no legal standing. This case Is only one OF
many yet to come, and hence the sooner we
know whether the law is constitutional or not
the better will it be for the community.

DOLLARS AGAINST HONOR Fifty six per-
sons have been torn from the protection Of
the American flag and butchered at Santiago
de Cuba. Some Of the murdered men were
citizens Of the United States. One might sup
pose that this ought to be cause for complaint
on our part, but we are told ffom Washing
ton that we must do nothing to provoke war
with Spain, because we owe great deal
OF money to the foreign holders of our bonds,
ana war would put up the price Of gold
Are we nation of fools or poltroons2 DO

American people will allow this great crime of
the Spanish butchers and this insult to the
American Republic to be tamely submitted to

THE CoLoRED MEN TO THE Front. We are
glad to report that deputation Of colored
men in behalf Of their enslaved brethren in
the island Of Cuba go from this city to Wash
ington to-day to lay before the President a
petition, signed by five thousand Of our colored
fellow citizens, in behalf Of active intervention
for the independence Of Cuba. AS Cuban in
dependence means, among other good things,
the emancipation Of the four hundred thou
sand slaves Of the island our free colored cti-
zens have the right and 1t is their duty, to
speak for Cuba, and we hope they will speak
to some purpose They can If they will.

BREAD AND BEEF PoR THE POOR.

Just now when so many thousand families are
in danger OF wanting for the necessares OF life,
owing to the slackenng OF business and the dull
times in various industrial pursuits, It Is well TO

stay the progress OF hunger and distress. Among
the projects OF relief Is one to be known as the

JAY COOKE & co.
An Attempt to Have tho Firm Declared
Bankrupt.


bankrupt.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. IL, 1873.
The return Of the order granted by Judge Cad
walader on Jay Cooke & Co. to show cause why
they should not be adjudicated bankrupts was
heard In Court to-day. The proceedings took the
form OF conversation between the Judge
and counsel representing the pettioning creditors
which was also participated in by counsel for de-
fendants The Judge said that. in times OF unusual
financial distress, the conduct OF creditors towards
debtors should be marked with forbearance and
spirit OF liberation. The order to show cause has
not legally been served on defendants ana, under
the circumstances, he could not at present make
adjudication against them; but he would order an
adjourned meeting two weeks hence, and direct
the publication OF the order.
Counsel said that the order TO show cause had
been served upon four OF the defendants-viz., Jay
Cooke, Jay Cooke, Jr., william q. Morehead aud
George q. Thomas and as they had made no
answer ne would ask that they be adjudicated
bankrupts.
The Judge doubted whether this could be done
as TO individuals where proceedings have been
joined against the firm and means OF serving all
the members oil the firm were within the power OF
the petitioner.
Counsel said he would come in next Wednesday
with anldavits and apply for an injunction, such
as was previously mentioned, and the appoint
ment OF receiver.
The Judge said that II he we're required TO do so,
and there was no objection made he might ap-
point ]. GilliDgham Fill some such prominent
citizen as receiver OF the defendants, and allow

Our Unemployed Lab0rers.

The tinge of cheerfulness which has come
upon the financial prospect may be fleeting,
although we sincerely hope that it may not be
So In any case, our city authorities must
not lose sight of the fact which our columns
abundantly testify, that the dearth of employ
ment among immense numbers of the
laboring class is very great, and far more
likely to increase than otherwise. We have
steadily set our face against creating
needless alarm, but it is the weakest policy in
the world to refuse acknowledgment of an un-
satisfactory state Of affairs when such really
exists. We have noticed in our columns with
great pleasure the efforts which private associa-
tions of the charitable are making to help feed
the poor. There is q large space for such
blessed work, where the recipients cannot take
advantage of the broader measures of relief
which it is the bounden duty Of our city gov
ernment to provide. This relief must come
in the shape of work. Shall our NUM-
meeting the crying want which is at
our doors? We have pointed out
a few of the public works upon which this
surplus labor can be brought to bear with the
best effect to the city. 1t may be put down
as the determination Of all Americans who
love their country that no man within its
bounds willing to work shall want for bread.
In Europe it has been common for the
despotic governments, which disguise them
selves under the name of 'paternal, /"
TO keep thousands Of workmen en-
ployed, year in and year out, lest they
should turn their energies to revolution Here,
under most circumstances, man can expect
no such help from the State. There is no
despotism which necessitates giving men work
to keep them out of politics. When extra
ordinary want calls for extraordinary relief it
is accorded as cheerful recognition of the fact
that the poor as well as the rich 90 to form
the nation. The duty Of our city government,
then, is to act promptly and effectively.
There is work enough, sadly needed, TO give
the poor employment, and we hope to see
action taken without delay

The SPANISH SHAREHOLDERS of Cuba, who
through their cutthroat volunteers, really
govern the island, are fighting desperate
battle for the maintenance of their barbarous
systems of negro and cooie slavery. Their
sickening atrocities Of the last five years have
at length reached series Of butcheries which
cannot be blinked at Washington. The crisis
has come when, if Mr.. Secretary Fish is
unequal to meet it, the President will do well
to relieve him of the task.

Of the national honor. His words have been
welcomed with joy by the American people.
government in the interests of civilization and
humanity to stop the savage barbarities of the
Cuban war; He cannot, as the head Of an
enlightened nation, overlook the butchery Of
these defenceless prisoners without trial, or
wish prosperity to government that owes its
success to such barbarous policy.
He maintains the principle that this
nation is its own judge when to accord
the rights of belligerency to the struggling
Cubans. Under his influence the sluggishness
of the spiritless State Department passes
away and activity is manifested by our naval
authorities. This is President Grants oppor-
tunity; may we hope that his ringing words
will only be the prelude to prompt and bold
action, and that from this moment his new
departure will take its date? The instant rec
ognition of Cuban belligerency is an impera-
tive necessity. 1t is demanded, not for Cuba,
not for Spain, but for the vindication of our
own rights and for the protection Of our
own citizens The terrible occurrences Of the
past week prove that such policy should
long ago have been adopted by our govern
ment and that our interests should have been
protected by the presence of armed vessels at
Santiago de Cuba as well as at Havana. But
the past is gone by forever. Let us guard
against outrage and insult for the future.
When we recognize the belligerency of the
Cubans we define the duties and the
longer cropping in the dark, subject to the
caprice and brutal violence of q government
of cutthroats. A fleet Of iron-clads must be
sent at once to Havana and Santiago de Cuba
to protect the lives and guard the interests of
American citizens. We can no longer trust to
diplomatic protest and Madrid orders. Our
safety must be in the weight of our metal and
the bravery of our sailors. For the outrage Of
the murders at Santiago de Cuba, probably for
the illegal capture of the virginius, we must
demand prompt and ample reparation, and
the punishment of the commander of the Tor
nado and of the bloodthlrsty Governor of
Santiago de Cuba. For the future we must
insist upon cessation of the savage barbar-
ity that has marked the prosecution
of the Cuban war and upon civil
lied rule on the island. We have
a right to make this demand, in the interests
of civilization and humanity as well as for our
own protection. This is the least our govern
ment can do, consistently with its own honor,
and this must be done promptly and firmly
to satisfy justly incensed people.

The Shocking Disaster ut Harlem.
1t Is announced elsewhere that the police
will descend to-day upon the remaining NOV
able engines engaged on the excavation upon
Fourth avenue, where the engine exploded on
Tuesday with such fatal results. These engines
are described as old. weak, rusty and insecure,
and even at this late hour it will be something
to prevent such disasters from recurring, SO
far as they are concerned. The inadequacy of
the law to reach the owner of such engines
and compel the service of competent
engineers is deplorable. Hence. contractors
with engines manifestly insecure will risk
the lives and limbs Of others that they may be
saved some present expense. The chance Of
evading the law and the knowledge that pun
ishments for its Infringement are light assist
the greedy capitalist in endangering the pub
ic The late explosion is attributed to the
lowness Of water in the boiler The engineer,
at present in custody at the TombS, attributes
it to the defective arrangements for moving
the engine. The intelligent Coroner's jury
now having the matter in hand will, it is to be
hoped, spare no trouble in finding where the
blame belongs, and should then fearlessly
afix thereto its proper grade Of criminality,
no matter whom it reaches. A catastrophe
costing SO many lives and horribly wounding
80 many must be accounted for.
