so it is in earnest when it prescribes the
penalty Of death against the murderer. We
can far better afford TO have a dozen Of the
culprits now in the Tombs speedily hanged than
to continue the sickening chronicle OF frequent
assassinations. Let the majesty of the law
strike terror into the hearts of the reckless
men who avenge their own quarrels by the use
of deadly weapons. A dozen executions might
prevent hundred butcheries and make New
York again safe city. Let us see the boosted
season OF reform bring with it such desirable
fruits as security for life. protection for prop
erty and respect for law.

whioh, while coao,ending the enterprise Of
;he HwtrD in Eliminating this tragic war in
Cabs. say. .Aat II the design of President Grant
was ''to use this information for the purpose
Of justifying to the American popular mind
the project of Intervention which he is sup

his purpose better than the report of the New
YORK HEBALDs special Commissioner, pub
lished in that journal on the 10th of Decem-
ber" The mind of England is evidently
awakening in very significant manner to the
atrocity of this war, of which no man can fore
tell the end, q war involving, as it does, Eng
lands pet anti-slavery theory in its results.
This sudden attention to Cuban matters would
seem to evinco o determination on the
part of England not to have its moral
influence out of the scale should
America humanely devise some measure to
stop the flow of blood in Cuba. The assist
ance, moral or otherwise. of England should,
however, be no criterion by which to decide
American action. It may have its weight,
however, on the timidities of the State De-
partment.
The publication at this period of an alleged
draft of treaty between Spain and the Re
public drawn in 1870, and printed in another
column, will indicate, if there is no other truth
in it, what honorable bases of settlement yet
remain for Spain. A settlement of the whole

tons of the Syndicate will be grand surprise
to those who fancied the inquiry meant
rebuke of the Secretary of the Treasury for
his completely in the stupendous job of refund
ing the five-twenties at SO costly rate. The
Ways and Means Committee, having heard all
the testimony, went into deliberation upon the
subject and yesterday announced by resolution
that they had no suggestions to make in the
way of new legislation affecting the operations
of the Treasury in negotiating bonds Of the
United States" In other words, the CON-
mittee have no better plan than Mr. Boutwell's
plan of a Syndicate for negotiating the new
loan. Congressional sagacity is surpassed
only by Syndicate rapacity.

Captain Jacks Fight from . Finan.
cial Point OF Wow.

cial Point OF View.
The Modocs under the redoubtable Captain
Jack, have immortalized themselves. They
have not only put hors de combat some four or
five hundred of Uncle Sans regulars and
volunteers in q fair Indian ight-fair for the
Indians-but have also laid train to burst
open the iron bars of our good old Uncle's
Treasury and deplete it to the amount of mil
lions How lucky it was for the Oregon
spectators in army stores and supplies, and in
Indian blankets, brass buttons, knick-knacks
and haberdashery (meaning whiskey), that the
regulars were defeated in this first pitched
battle-that is, the first battle in which they
were regularly pitched into by the renowned
Chief Of the Modocs If Captain Jack had
been whipped by the blue-coats, that prob
ably might have put an end to this famous
Indian war and all visions of fat
contracts been in consequence dissolved
into thin air. but as the boot hap
pens to be on the other leg and the
government troops were repulsed, the ''entire
resources of the country" must, if necessary,
be brought to bear to wipe out this diabolical
stain on the national escutcheon and to put o
summary quietus upon Captain Jack and his
ragged band of marauders. Here, then, we
are likely to have second edition of the
Black Hawk war; or, to come back to more
modern times, q second act in the elongated
melodrama of the Seminole war, with Captain
Jack in the role of Billy Bowlegs-a perform
ance that cost the people of the United States
many millions of dollars. And, now, while
we hope that prompt measures will be taken
to crush this Indian outbreak in its incipiency,
we at the same time expect, inasmuch as we
have in the Presidential chair one who knows
something about the business of using brim-
stone and saltpetre by wholesale, that due
vigilance will be exercised to prevent i'm
proper and fraudulent raids upon the
Treasury on account of this speck of Indian
war in the Modoc country.
The PISTOL AaAIN.-The ink is hardly dry
on the record of one murder when we are
compelled to take notice of another Last
evening man riding along Chatham street was
shot and almost instantly killed by the driver
Of wagon, because, as the first report of the
occurrence stated, he refused to take his horse
out Of the way of the wagon. The driver
justifes himself by saying the man on horse
back threatened to strike him with o whiffie-
tree he carried in his hand The exact char
acter of his justification will be better esti-
mated after the evidence is received by the
Coroner. Enough for us now to know that
the spirit of murder is like an epidemic in the
air and that the pistol is called upon with an
appalling recklessness to settle the most
trifing differences between men.

worst investment it could take in death would
be that of the representative of the HERALD
whose mission is to throw light upon the dark
struggle waging in the island. 1t has other
reasons to know why the life of the HERALD
Commissioner will be as sacred as in its power
to make it. The strongest reason of oil is the
exact reverse of the Constancia' answer to its
own question:. e., affairs would not take
their usual course peace between Spain and
the United States could not be preserved. It
is in the first instance question of the
liberty and life of the unoffending citizen in
the second, of the rights of the Independent
press in the third, of mighty civilization
against sporadic barbarism.
Leaving this phase Of the matter, we turn to
the wider question of the present attitude of the
United States government towards Spain. That
which is indicated in the dispatches of last
November between Secretary Fish and our
Minister at Madrid would show either
desire TO take strong American ground or to
throw dust in the eyes of the American people
by stimulating manly attitude only to aban-
don it at the first exclamation of approval.
The Secretary of State himself, by his alter
nate silence and spasmodic utterance, does
not enlighten the world much, and leaves
everything to be imagined. If his indecisive
action leaves room for the Vaccinations of q
conspiracy in the republican ranks for his re-
moval, such as is indicated in our Washington
dispatches, he has himself to blame for it.
That the financial men of New York
should prefer Secretary of the Treasury
from the Empire State instead of q
Ito them) useless Secretary of State, will not
surprise many. A republican evening journal
of this city, the Mall in an article entitled
'Mr. Fish Last Blunder," makes an attack
on the Secretary, and, while admitting some
minor traits OF official usefulness, character
ICES his Cuban diplomacy as awkward. IN

The paInWAro Banks.

In this city and throughout the State the Bank
are doing their regular business; but diseountnl
very spNEIngly. The Bank at New Castle, in re
fusing TO cash checks over $40 is not SO liberal
some of our other Banks, but quite as much so a.
the BaAkt Of Phaadelphia aAd New York that
have eurtailod their payments TO checks ni 500
In this city VIC have heard no complaints from the
customers of the Banks, and understand they are
paying out all that is required OF them. ofcOurs'
the Banks IN this State will have to be governed
more or less by those in the large cities. There
is a fear prevailing that greenbAcks constitute
the best money we have now III circulation the
people wilr commence to horde it Just as they
horded specie in 1851 Some fear 10 deposit in the
Banks because it was said that they contemplated
supendins entirely. This rumOr emAnated in
Neg York and has done the Banks injury. Cur
rency is now at premium in Philadelphia and
New York.
