In the United States District Court suits have
been commenced by the Department Of Internal
Revenue against the Erie Railway Company for
the recovery of taxes on sterling bonds, which
taxes, 1t is claimed, are due to the government;
and Mr. Tremain, Chief Assistant in the Office OF
the United States District Attorney, Is now en-
gagged in An examination of the law bearing upon
this matter.
bill has passed the House of Represen tatives
for the abolition OF the Bankruptcy act which was
enacted In March, 1867 and there Is every prOba-
bility that the Senate will endorse the action of
the Lower House, and thus annul the measure
altogether. Since the passage of the act the num-
Der OF bankruptcy petitions filed in this district
does not exceed 1900, voluntary and involuntary.
The bill for the abolition OF this law proposes to
take effect from the LIST of July next; and If the
Senate approve OF it. as there is to suppose
1t Will, questions Affecting bankrupts must there
alter be dealt with in the Courts Of this State, and
the same remark will apply in regard to the other
States OF the Union.
Yesterday Christopher Flood and Michael
McKeown were brought before Commissioner
Shields and charged with having conspired to de-
fraud the government out of the tax on distilled
spirits at distillery in Spring Valley, Rockland
county, in this State McKeown, in a very en-

charge, claiming that he was only laborer in the
establishment. The Commissioner held the accused

The America Institute.

A row in a dove-cot would be hardly q
stranger thing than quarrel in the American
Institute-a body of men professedly devoted
to the arts of peace. Yet such contrariety is
presented for the ediGcation of the COM
munity, and its capacity for surprising
us is only modified because of the many
recent social and political developments in
Congress and elsewhere, which leave the mind
of the observer in mood to accept almost
anything remarkable as mere matter of
course.
In the case of the Institute there is division
of its members into two bitterly hostile fac
tions. The one of these, claiming to be a
party of reformers, are seeking to wrest the
control Of the Institute from its former and
longtime managers who are charged with
favoritism in the award of premiums
and with having made the interests of
the Institute subservient to those Of the
Third Avenue Railroad Company, first in
lease of the building and grounds known as
the Rink, where the Fair was recently held,
and second in proposition to pledge the In
stitute for further real estate obligations, also
calculated 10 benefit the same corporation. At
recent formal meeting of the Institute the So

The Irish Clerical PrOscc atoms.

We publish in another portion of the
HERALD an interesting history of the causes
leading to the prosecution in Ireland of q
Catholic bishop and twenty-one priests for the
misdemeanor of intimidation and undue infu-
ence at elections. 1t appears that the Parla-
mentary election contest between q Captain
Trench and Captain Nolan resulted in the
return of the latter for the county of Galway.
On an appeal to the courts Judge Keogh well
known as a ready tool of the English govern
ment in Ireland, reversed this and gave the
seat to Captain Trench. The prosecutions of
the clergymen announced in yesterday S
HERALD by cable have arisen out of this de-
cision by the plant Judge. 1t is well
understood that in this Irish county
the clergy have for years controlled the
elections. In this case the priests candidate
was what is known as a popular candidate as
opposed to the candidate of the landlords.
Altar denunciations and other denunciations
from clerical lips were hurled against any
Catholic who would vote against Captain
Nolan. On the bare face of the thing it seems
just to say that priests should mind their
priestly business and let elections alone; that
if there is any dignity in religion it should
not be dragged through the mire of politics.
The priests who head a popular movement
can also at times be the bitterest foes of pro-
gress, as Ireland's troubled story for some
years past can tell. The movement to confine
them to their duties proper is one which the
Ir;c Eonionc xyot,1I haor4,l, A,,k
these prosecutions have no such liberal aim.
They are only intended to silence such
priests as oppose government candidates.
Captain Trench desired and bid for
the aid of the priests as strongly
as Captain Nolan. If it had been
given to him there would have been no
prosecution. This is the way the untutored
peasant Of Galway will reason, and he will
be right. The result is an infaming of pas
sions among an inflammable- minded people,
and probably more influence than ever for the
priests over their focks. The government
prosecutes the priests not for the intimidation,
but because they inundated in the wrong
direction. It enters, too, on dangerous ground
when it interferes with ecclesiastical priv
lege, and gives The martyr-loving nation their
political and religious martyrs under the one
priests gown. The case illustrates MIR.
Froude's theory of brute force admirably, and
is an instance of what good will flow from it.
This good is increased disloyalty, if that be
possible, partisan and religious rsncor, and a
man in Parliament who represents Judge
Keogh. What splendid country to be gov

A DISASTROUS STORM AT AspNwALL.-WH
are sorry to learn that from disastrous
norther the wharves and the shipping at Aspin-
wall have suffered heaviIy-the damages to the
Pacific Mail wharf, with its stores of whale oil
and other produce on it, being estimated at
three hundred thousand dollars, and one-half
the French wharf was carried away with two
Car loads Of indigo Several schooners were
sunk and number of other vessels were more
or less damaged. The steamship Henry
Chauncey, by being kept outside escaped the
fury of the storm, which, it appears, burst upon
the harbor. The misfortune is that from the
CONFORMATION of the harbor it is subject to the
full sweep Of these northers which, from Texas
to Aspinwall and below, are the special terror
of those seas and coasts. Of course, strong
breakwater at Aspinwall harbor is the one
thing needed for its security, and in view Of
their own interests the parties directly con-
cerned should proceed to build this breakwater
without waiting for losses from another norther
equal to the whole cost of the work.

The COIfax AIibt.

The Vice President has at last broucht
forward his alibi ON the twelve hundred
dollar matter, which Hoax Ames has
charged him withal. 1t is a curious alibi.
A Mr.. George F. Nesbitt, who is conveniently
dead, is thousand dollars worth thereof. and
Mr. Matthews, the stepfather of Mr. Collar.
who is alive, is only two hundred dollars worth.
Indeed, in a certain way, Mr.. Matthews is
part of the whole amount, for he saw the
thousand dollar bill come out of the letter the
bright morning he paid Mr. Colfax for piano
to the amount of two hundred dollars.
Wonderful coincidence! Handy old chap.
this Matthews, to have in the house.
The alibi was to come from three
persons in different States a week ago. and
now it comes to thousand dollar bill laid ON
coffin and two hundred dollars on piano.
Old Hoax has not produced any receipt, but
his clerk is industriously searching and Hoax
will not swear that he does not possess it. Is
old 1ago meditating another great surprise?
1t would be some consolation to hypocrisy
that only the check to Ames could be fixed and
not the payment to Colfax. Ames, it may ere
marked, brought new evidence from his memo
randum book This accuses Colfax of receiving
some sixty dollars for interest on Union Pacific
bonds. Ames, so far as Colfax is con-
cerned, has shown the twelve hundred dollar
emorandum duly down among the others.
The S3rgeant-at-Arms' book shows twelve
hundred dollar check to S. g. The First Ma
tional Bank shows a twelve hundred dollar
cash lodgment on the. same 22d February.
This is a strong chain, and to make
it unbreakable only needs the receipt
from Colfax. Colfax, on the contrary.
has dead man and his stepfather. We could
wish it were stronger for Mr.. Colfax. An
abb in such case is difficult thing to rake
up after four or five years but this is, we
fear, a very weak one. If Hoax Ames holds
the receipt let him produce it and end the
misery.

shall be no craftsmanship in the city govern
ment, but that Mayor Havemeyer shall be
| suffered to distribute the Offices among those
who are able to persuade him that they are the
most faithful partisans at his command
Out upon all this political fraud and hum
bug The republicans have the power in the
State Legislature they intend to seize upon
all the power, patronage and emoluments OF
the New York city government for their own
party, and Let them take it without further
false pretences The people are willing that
they should do so they have the response
bility for the good government of the city and
State for the next two years, and they would
be foolish if they did not work with their own
tools. All our citizens ask is that the city
shall be rescued from its present inharmonious
middle and sent forward once more on the
path of progress and prosperity. Non-parti-
sanship in the city government is a myth it
served very well as an electioneering cry, but
it could not be secured if there was really any
honest desire to try the experiment A single
election would sweep it away, no matter by
what laws it might be apparently secured.
Certainly to give the sole, uncontrolled power
of appointment into the hands of a single Off
cial would be the most certain method of in
surfing strict craftsmanship in two years time,
If not at the present moment The Board of
Aldermen, appointing subject to the confir-
nation of the Mayor, and electing in the
event of management, would come far
nearer to on-partisanship than the arbitrary
one-man power advocated by Mayor Havemeyer
and his friends. The only plausible plea for
asking the appointing power for the Mayor is
that by concentrating responsibility the citi-
zens can sooner bring an unfaithful officer to
reckoning; but this falls to the ground when
it is remembered that the Aldermen are
elected on single ticket, and can thus be
reached as readily as the Mayor. Besides the
great need of the city now is harmony in all
the public departments. The course of Mayor
Havemeyer and his advisers does not hold out
much promise that this can be secured by
leaving the absolute patronage in the hands Of
that gentleman, unless the republicans, who
certainly are responsible for the charter and
the government under it, are satisfied to hand
over every city department to their politi-
Cal opponents. AS this would be an act
of folly as well as an unusual piece of politi-
cal disinterestedness, it is not very likely to
be done by Legislature three-fourths repub-
lican. All the people of New York demand,
therefore, is that fair, well-considered char
ter be passed at Albany, and that the republic
can Board of Aldermen, or whoever may have
the appointing authority, shall fill the city de-
partments with men of vigor, enterprise, lib
erality. honesty and capacity. If the city
secure such officers no one will inquire either
into their religion or their politics.

If il must be admitted that one of the secrets
of the failure of Amadeus to reconcile the
Spaniards to his authority was the fact of his
being foreign prince it must also be admit

Is the people rather than the great families
who rule, and the character and tendency OF
recent legislation in that country tend to en-
courage the belief that no violent revolution
would be necessary to convert the Italian
peninsula into a healthful and vigorous re-
public. Great Britain already, in spite of the
throne and the House of Lords, is practically
republic. Recent military successes have
done much to strengthen the cause of mon
archy in Germany but just as Germanys
success ON the battle field was largely due to
German intelligence, SO German intelligence
will make it in all time to come hard task for
any government to disregard the just claims of
the great body of the people. Intelligence is
rapidly spreading among the people, and with
the spread of intelligence comes the
knowledge of citizens rights and the detesta-
ton of irresponsible rule The situation in
Spain to-day proves that thrones are at a dis
count, and it encourages the belief that the
day is not far distant when republican banners
will float over all the old nations of Europe An
attempt may be made, and the attempt for
time may be successful, to re-establish mon
archy in Spain but if the Spanish republic
cans are only true to themselves their final
victory cannot be long delayed
Whatever may be the effect produced in
Spain by the resignation of Amadeus, it is I'M
denabe that it ought to make an end of
Spanish tyranny in Cuba To the struggling
Cubans fresh opportunity is offered, and
they will no doubt do their utmost to turn it to
good account. But what is to be the attitude
of the government of the United States? If
republican Spain acts nobly she will give Cuba
her liberty. If republican Spain should not
act nobly republican America will not be held
guiltless before the world if she does not step
in and put a stop to the barbarity which pre-
walls upon the island.
