WHAT SPAIN Is DOING.

The Ne1v York Sun asserts that when
the news of the capture of the Virgin
ius reached that city, $4,000 was sent
to the Spanish Minister at Washington,
upon the order of the Madrid govern
ment, to be placed where 1t would do
most good. A Washington correspond
emit of the Sun makes this statement:
ut is a well known fact that Pinker-
toms Detective Agency is regularly
employed by the Spanish government
to furnish information in regard to the
Cuban expeditions. There is but little
doubt that three of Pinkerton's men
were ON board the Virginius, and, in
detective parlance, gave her away to
the SDaniards. There is reliable infor-
nation to this effect in the possession
of prominent Cubans now IN this
city. Pinkerton has one of his
most trusted employees in the
Treasury Department. This man en-
lows confidential relations with the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury, and no doubt
is able to furnish his chief-PlnkertOn
with information which will be very
acceptable to their Spanish employers.
With the son-in-law Of Secretary Fish
as their attorney, and Secretary Rich
ardson's confidential man as their spy,
the Spaniards ought to be well posted
on our movements and Iintentions at the
present time. Would it not be advisa-
bic. however, in view of the threatening
complications, for the government to
deprive Mr.. Pinkerton's man Of his OPP
portunities to obtain the earliest official
information?

THE MYSTERIOUS DEPOSIT.

From the New Orh Tribune, NV ~
Gen. Grant is reported to have said
the othersday, to the correspondent of
a Boston newspaper, that the govern
ment had no deposits in the First Ma
tional Bank Of Washington, and lost
nothing by its failure. Yet, when the
condition of the institution was ex-
amined after the suspension, it was
found to be indebted to the government
in the sum of S287, 900, Of which only
SIO0, 900 was secured Subsequently it
came to light that, by means not ex-
planned, the loss of $3.50 had been
made good to the National Treasury.
Yet Messrs, Jay Cooke & Co. declare,
in the most solemn manner, that they
have made no settlement since their
failure with any of their creditors, and
have not paid dollar to the govern
ment on any claim whatever. Here
are two apparent contradictions of
a very curious kind. There
can be no doubt that the
broken bank owed the Government
S187, 900 hen it closed its doors, and
yet we are assured first that the Cookies
have paid off no claims, and secondly
that the Government has been paid.
Who has paid it? What benevolent
and patriotic person is going about the
country making good the losses of the
United States Treasury and keeping his
name a profound secret from the
world?
There is some mystery in this trans
action which the public ought to faith
ON. 1t is of a piece, however, with the
system upon which our financial affairs
have been conducted for a long time
past. The chief business Of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury seems to have
been to confuse the public mind and
misrepresent the condition of his de-
partment, and as we have often had &C.
casion to show, there is no dependence
to be placed upon his monthly balance
sheets. 1t seems to us that this little
affair of the First National Bank may
very properly be made the subject OF a
question or so by Congress.

The Charleston Ne,gS and Courier
says:
I'm addition to the tax of sixteen
mills, there viii be special tax to pay
arrears in nearly every county, and the
average taxation will not fall short,
therefore, of eighteen mills. Besides
this, the assessed value of taxable prop
erty has been largely increased, and the
basis of taxation must be at least Sl7O,-
100000 this year, against 150,0OO,OOO
last year; so that If the tax Of fifteen
mills in 1873 produced $2,250,000, the
tax of eighteen mills for 1874 should
produce S2.960,OO0. And this enor-
NOUS sum, as the law stands, must be
paid by the people before the end of
January. They can not do At.
Reckoning State, county, and city tax,
the Nesos and Courier says the Charles
tonians will be called on to pay 44aa
mills on the dollar, which is as near A
per cent as it can well get to be. A tax
of forty-fve dollars on every one thOus-
and, the NeUs and Courier says cannot
be collected, and advises the Legisla-
ture not to make the levy. It says the
money is not in the State.

THE SALARY GRAB-SyHIAT ABOUT
GRANTS SHARE?

The Boston Post, regarded as the
leading Democratic journal in New
England, ,says of the salary grab: The
fall elections turned largely upon this
issue; the salary grab following close on
the heels of other abuses, and the voice
of the people has been heard with sutil-
Gent distinctness to be unmistakable'-
The near approach Of the meeting OF
Congress gives a present Importance to
the loud demand for the repeal of thus
law, which the prominents question OF
of finance, Of war and of administration
cannot overshadow1 Republican Con-
gressmen Who have arrived IN WASH
ington are reported to be agitating the
question what to do to restore the par
tvs prestige. which has been seriously
damaged, as shown by the late cleo
tons. The Cincinnati Gazette, lead
ing exponent of Ohio Rcpubhcanism'
counsels its friends as follows;
1.-THE thing for the Republican Con-
gressmen TO do for popularity is to re-
peal the salary bill The people nave
pronounced on this, and Congress, upon
such instruction, can honorably re-
treat. The majority should be united
and prompt in this matter. There need
be no difficulty as to the President, s
salary, for the provision of the bill
which raises that is Illegal so far as 1T
refers to the present term. We do not
suppose that any lawyer who shall look
into the question viii deny this"
Touching the illegality of the in
crease Of the Presidents salary, the
Gazette in previous issue argued that
an examination of the phraseology of
the Constitution will show that there
is reason to question it, adding
THE enabling and prohibitory clause
as to his payis as follows; THE Presi-
dent shall at stated times receive for

THE CHIEF JUSTICESHTP-C ONK.
LING RESTGNES.
From the New York Heral

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-It is under
stood that Senator Conbding has, after con-
sultation with his political friends in New
York. decided to decline the Chief JUS
ticeship, which was privately offered to
him BY the President. In spite of the re
peated assertions to the contrary, it is an
unquestionable fact that the Senator has
had for several months the refusal of the
Chief Justiceship, and that he has had the
matter for some time under consideration.
As the offer Of the appointment was made
unofficially, the declination of Senator
C0nkling viii not be made public. 1t is
said here by personal friend of the PreSi-
dent that this is the third great appoint
ment rendered to and declined by Senator
Conkling under the present administration
The first was the English Mission, the sec
ond was the secretaryShip Of State. shortly
before Mr.. Conkling's reelection TO The
Senate, and, lastly, the chief justieeship
II is now considered almost certainthat one
of the present Justices of the United States
Supreme bencll-probably Justice Miller
will be the successor of Chief Justice
Chase,
