rHE vIRaINrus MAssAonE.

The number of men captured on the
Virginius, exclusive of the crew, was
one hundred and seventy-fve. For all
that our misunderstanding President
knows about it, half of these may be
innocent American citizens, mere pas
sengers on the Inflated vessel. With
all the ostentatious diplomacy of Dan.
Sickles and Hamilton Fish, the last
man on the Virginius may be already
contaminated and shot. This is not
the first nor the twentieth. time that
American citizens have been lawlessly
butchered during the pending Cuban
rebellion Under Amedeo, our diplo-
mats, so-called, received but little sat
isfaction from Spain. The truth is, we
have no navy worth speaking of-the
shoddy hulks built during the war
having rotted in the docks. Our want
of an available force is amply
illustrated by the official con-
fession of the Navy Department
that there were no American men-of-
war anywhere in West Indian waters at
the timeof the capture of the Virginius.
After the many outrages on our clti-
zens in Cuba of late years, this absence
of United States vessels is absolutely
inexcusable, except on the theory that
available vessels do not exist. The fact
is, the few we have that are sea-worthy,
are on empty parade in various
European ports, and they could not be
spared from that holiday service for
the protection of our citizens in the
only locality where their rights of life
and property are now jeopardized.
This whole Virginius affair, in its every
aspect, is a disgrace to Grants admin
istration. OF course we may look for a
grand flourish of diplomatic trumpets,
resulting in an apology from the present
puny government, not of Spain, but of
Madrid. The Intransigentes seem to
have stolen the best vessels in the
Spanish navy, and the Republican
abortion at the capital, whatever its
true sentiments, has enough wars on
hand already, and can only assume to-
ward us the attitude Of abject repent
ance. 1t is such an opportunity as
Dan Sickles can glory in. Meanwhile,
the question recurs, whether this
Madrid oigarchy is not playing game
of fast and loose, depending on our SYM
pathies for it as a "sister republic"
Were not the executions Of the Vir-
ginius victims the result Of previous
and standing orders? 1t is easy enough
to murder man deliberately, and then
apologize for it. Is an apology suih-
cient under such circumstances?

CONGRESS- AND THE CRISIS.

Speaking Of the duty of Congress in
connection with the crisis and its cure,
the United States Economist of New
York, a leading journal mainly devoted
to the dry goods trade, says:
what we want is, a MAN, not men,"
was sententiouSly remarked at one period
of the war. 1t is the same now. Wanted
"A man who can steer the nation straight
out of the shoals into which it has foated.
He need not be a great arithmetician, or al
gebraist, or political economist; all that he
wants is common sense and the ability to
make common sense impress itself upon
Congress. 1t is not lack of plans that is
our deficiency, it is lack of common sense
to pick out the right plan. And yet in
this case, as often during the war, the peo-
pie are right, and are in advance of the poll
ticianS. From every corner of the land
comes up the cry of Free Banking. Every
common sense mind sees at once that more
sound banks, on the good old New York
State plan of a secured currency, must be a
benefit rather than an injury"
The Economist adds its ''contrivance
for getting business into shape again, :"
as follows:
Il. National banks shall be permitted to
any extent under the rules heretofore estab-
liShed for their government.
80. The Secretary Of the Treasury shall
be authorized to issue currency to individu-
ais upon the deposit Of United States bonds,
the interest upon which shall cease until
the bonds are redeemed by the depOsitor.
"There is the case in a nutshell. Should
the bugbear of pOstpOnemeTt Of specie pay
nents frighten anyone, we will suggest that
a condition can be joined that the banks
shall begin the accumulation of specie re-
serve. Let them be required to change the
reserve into gold at the rate of One-fifth per
annUm, SO that in five years their whole re-
serve would consist in specie. This would
be a real preparation for resumption"

AMERICAN WHEAT IN ENGLISH

THE HOG crop FOR 1878.

Tennessee produces SO much clover,
peas. corn and other grain, to say moth
ing of the mast, fruit and other hog
feed, that our meat crop in the. shape
of fat hogs and bacon, is one OF the
largest items in our agriculture. The
price at which this staple shall be sold
this fall and the coming winter is
matter of interest to our readers. A
few days since the farmers OF the
Northwest held a convention at Chica-
go at which they resolved not to sell
fat hogs at less than five dollars per
hundred pounds. Commenting on this
resolution, the Prairie Farmer says:
ave do not believe that, at s. 90 per
cwt.. the pork producer can make more
than bare living, if indeed, he can do
that at present prices for labor and feed.
But we fear that the work of organization
has not been sufficiently perfected to accom-
pliSh the work proposed. Besides, many
farmers who would hold for this price, if
they could, find bills maturing at the store,
iuC anu bllC oliOD tlAta1 liOoO DS BAiA'
Mortgages, and the interest on mortgages,
fall due, and the money is forthcoming or
there must result sacrifice and failure"
Being in debt is a great misfortune,
whether one is a farmer, merchant or
mechanic. 1t plays the mischief with
the market price of produce, manufac-
lures, and all other goods with perhaps
rare exceptions. Pork, bacon, beef and
fat cattle ought to fetch good prices,
considering the general scarcity of pro-
visions in Europe. Bnt how can west
ern farmers place their surplus meat in
Europe for general consumption and
not pass it through half dozen first
class shaving mills? The industrious
meat-packers want fat slice, and gen.
orally know how to get one, although
they sometimes buy pig in the poke.
Railway men know to a dime what it
costs to carry ton of freight from one
point to another, and are able to make
a sure thing Of their profits, provided al
ways they command fat animals or meat
many form to transport. Some appear to
charge so high as to prevent farmers
feeding many hogs or cattle, and the
trade all round is small and undevel-
oped. 1t is to be regretted that, with
so many million acres of rich, unim-
proved land, and such a scarcity in
Europe, farmers and common carriers
cannot come to an understanding and
make and divide profits. The capital
and industry Of all should be cordially
united to advance a common interest,
instead of feuds and the infection of
mutual injuries being the order of bust
ness. In the Northwest, farmers, rail
road men, and retail merchants have
worked themselves into rather serious
difficulties. We hope that better feel
ing will obtain in the South, and that
the spirit will be to live and let live.
Could we have cheap transportation to
foreign markets, it would soon give ex-
istence to an immense portland beef
trade from Tennessee. Now our enter
prising farmers are too isolated to
achieve success.

THE Chic Constitutional Convention,
it is presumed, will submit the result
of its labors for the adoption of the
people by the first day of April next.
The new constitution viii redistrict the
State and provide for new Legisla-
ture and State officers, to be elected
next October. This is to be done in
the interest of Delano, who hopes that
the Republicans Will elect the new Leg

THE Liberals gained heavily at the
late elections of members of the Prus-
sian Diet. The people do not take
kindly to the iron-clad government of
Bismarck. They are opposed to the
military system, and also to the arbi-
traly measures instituted by the gov
eminent to prevent young men from
leaving the country for the United
States. At present these feelings only
crop out at the elections. They may
ultimately take the form of a revolu-
ton, as they did when the present VII
