Leaf from the Past About Iron
Naval Ships.

On the 18th of january, 1863, the Alabama
appeared off Galveston. An iron steamer
named the Hatteras was sent out to speak the
vessel in the ofing. The Hatteras was vessel
somewhat on the style of those proposed by the
honorable Secretary of the Navy to be at this
time built for our navy. The iron was one
inch thick at the keel, and gradually became
thinner to her top sides, where it was but
little more than quarter Of an inch in thick
ness. The Alabama was q wooden vessel. The
Hatteras fred upwards of fifty shots at the
Alabama, and the Alabama fred about the
same number at the Hatteras. Now mark the
sequel The commanding officer of the Hat
teras, in his report dated Kingston, Island of
jamaica West Indies, January 81, 1863, says
about the fight: ut was soon reported to me
that shells had entered the Hatteras at the
water line, tearing of entire sheets of iron,
and that the water was rushing in, utterly
defying every attempt to remedy the evil, and
that she was rapidly sinking. She did sink
in very few minutes, and the Alabama, COM
paratively unharmod. took the officers and

Starting Forward cat His Own
Rfsk.s


Our present special commissioner to the
island Of Cuba, having grown weary of wait
ing for the official leave to travel which the
Spaniards extend to all travellers in Cuba, has
started on his mission into the interior. Dis
tinctly told by the Captain General that he
would have to do so Eat his own risk" our
commissioner has left Havana behind him,
with his passport Use in his pocket, and re-
solved to learn without further delay what the
phrase of the Captain General means. In
another part of the HERALD will be found a
letter describing his first days journey by rail
to Villa Clara. Suggestive of deeper under
current of friendly feeling to the United
States than is believed to exist are the
utterances to our commissioner of q
Cuban planter on the train. The fear in
which this stakeholder says he dwells of
the other slaveowners learning his views will
recall the experience of many liberal minds
among Southern planters in this country be-
fore the late civil war. Our correspondent
has marked the spot where the region of HOSTILE
ties commences, after leaving Havana to the
west, and it is significant to observe that this
was-the tidemark of the rebellion four years
ago. He now finds himself face to face with his
subject proper, and if the Captain Generals
phrase, ''at his own risk" does not mean any
thing more than being let alone, We believe
his researches will bear good fruit to Cuba
and mankind Should it mean more-that is,
a determination to cast obstacles in the way of
accomplishing his mission-we are equally
certain that our special commissioner will do
all compatible with honor and manliness to
overcome them.

CONGRESS VS.. BuTrEn.-The
most notable thing in the proceedings of
Congress yesterday was the resolution offered
by Mr. Farnsworth, OF Illinois, and which was
adopted, instructing the Select Committee on
the Union Pacific Railroad and Credit Mobi-
lier to inquire whether any fees had been
paid by either of those companies 10 any
member Of the House as attorney or counsel ;
also whether any sums had been paid by or
solicited from either of them to assist in the
election of members. 1t is given out that
General Butler is the party aimed at in this
resolution as an attorney. We knew that there
was IAN irrepressible conflict" between
Butler and Farnsworth but we had sup
posed that, the ammunition having been ex-
hausted on both sides, there was a suspension
of active hostilities between these belligerents
which would probably result in an entente
cordidle We now perceive that there is to be
nothing of the sort; and if il be true. az re-
ported, that General Butler has taken fees as
an attorney from the Credit Mobilier. Farms
worth, in the expressive language of the p. r
has in this resolution knocked him out Of
time"

Reform I'm the District Attorneys
Once.

Our new District Attorney speaks an en-
couraging word for the suppression of crime,
which has so long lorded it in this city. He
declares his intention of speedily disposing Of
the numerous cases which have made ''Mur-
derers Row" the most inconveniently crowded
portion of the Tombs. Of all the newly
elected officials that have been swept into
power on the tide of reform the District At
torney has the most favorable opportunity to
earn name and reputation of the most lasting
character, as well as the heartfelt thanks and
gratitude of his fellow citizens. Let there be
now no hating justice nor undue haste, but
let the disgrace of immunity to criminals be
removed There should be no more delays
in bringing murderers to trial when the
very memory of the crime has faded

E slavery Abolition Question Il
the Spanish Cortes.

The Spanish Cortes reassembled in session
in Madrid yesterday. The opening proceed
ings in the lower branch of the Legislative
body were Of an animated character and
important interest. They related to the ques-
ton of the abolition of slavery in the trans
marine colonies and the attitude which
the foreign governments hold towards
His Majesty's. Cabinet in relation to this
new project of governmental policy.
The President Of the Council, Sefior
Zorrilla, denied that any notes had passed
or been exchanged between the Madrid
Cabinet and the United States government on
the subject of slavery. The Spanish Ambas-
sailors serving abroad had been instructed to
deny that the Kings Ministers had received
any note from Secretary Fish on the subject.
II the American Secretary had despatched such
o note TO the United States Minister in Madrid
the latter had not communicated the paper to

tent man in the Deputy Chamberlain's place.
but, to crafty personal spite and prejudice.
would destroy the harmony and efficiency OF
an important public bureau. The people would
like to know whether the government of the

jealousies, to the damage of the public in
terests The attempt to appoint Mr. Foley
is made on no public grounds whatsoever, and
its success could only be productive of evil.

that Chamberlain Palmer stands prepared to

Bradley the moment Comptroller Green with
draws his captious and ill-judged opposition

from the public mind. We look to the
new District Attorney for prompt action
in the duties Of his Office, the most
important of which is the disposal of the batch
of murderers left to him as legacy. Let them
be brought out at the earliest opportunity
and tried. so that the atmosphere of blood
which has 80 long hung around this city may
be purified. Delay only adds to the red list
and gives fresh encouragement to crime. Mr..
Phelps is representative of reform, and the
people look to him for relief from the terrible
epidemic of crime which has SO long ravaged
this city. This relief can only come from
prompt and energetic action in the cases of
those confined in the Tombs under charge of
murder. If any of them can prove extenuat-
ing circumstances or innocence Of the crimes
of which they are accused, let them have ample
justice. But delay is fatal clog on the
machinery Of the law, and by it the ends of
justice are often defeated. We hope to hear
from Mr.. Phelps soon in the Court of Oyer
and Terminer or General Sessions

story OF the former, who, like his grandmother,
lives in the hope that all is not over yet with
the Empire. The querulous old lady in the
boarding house in Baltimore, with oil her
pique and infatuation, is not more curious in
fore her time. She has held to it now through
nearly seventy years, and if she has not
achieved her expectations, she has seen most
of her enemies go where they could injure her
no more. She threatens to live them
all down, and if she only reaches
that point of her lstrange ambition she may
take courage enough to die happy. There are
other male descendants of the strange family
alive, the most notable Of which is an austere
Cardinal of the Church of Rome-Louis
Lucien Bonaparte-who prays reads, writes
and keeps his thin Bonaparte lips closely
shut These are the human stock in trade Of
the Bonapartes just now.
France itself, on which the experiment of
attempting imperialism again is to be tried,
does not present much that is hopeful for the
Family" The Republic still lives, and the
death of the great adventurer has not moved
more than q ripple on the surface. To the
impartial outsider it will be odd to note
that England has done nearly all the
pompous sorrow for the dead 1t must,
in remarking this be remembered
that Napoleon III. was the friend Of England

wark of the Treasury is destroyed our whole
financial system will fall.
The act of 1866 carried out the well-settled
principle Of all our previous laws by making
the Deputy Chamberlain, who is charged with
all the duties of the Chamberlain under
certain contingencies, Independent of the
Comptroller. The charter of 1870 adhered to
the same principle by confirming the independ-
ence of the Chamberlain. The special law
of 1866 u.s. therefore, not only not inconsistent
with the general charter of 1870, but is in
strict harmony with its letter and spirit; hence
il is not disturbed in whole or in any OF its
parts by the latter enactment So much for
the legal aspect of the case But the people
have a further interest in this matter, and
have a right to know what good end Comp
troller Green designs to subserve by destroy
ING the harmony of the Chamberlain Office
and by forcing upon the Chamberlain deputy
against his will. Is it to the interest of the
city that any bureau or any department
should be thrown into discord and made
scene of wrangling and ill-feeling? Does.NIr.
Green pretend to believe that Mr.. John Foley,
the penmaker is better fitted for the duties of
Deputy Chamberlain, and, in the absence of
the principal, of Chamberlain Of the city
than is Mr.. Walter r. Palmer, the
bankerp If there were any charges
of corruption against the Chamberlain the
question would be different: but there are
