ing law 1t is the class of swindlers who Oper-
ate greatly to the injury OF an excellent bank
ing system. The penalty is $50 for every days
unauthorized use Of the term National. 1t is
even commended here that such institutions as
the National Trust Company, an old and rela-
BILE institution of excellent credit, feels techni-
cally within the statue, but the Comptroller de-
clines to act under this extreme Interpretation.
The adverse criticisms of Wall Street organs
upon the new Secretary ofthe Treasury, Judge
Richardson, are but continuance OF their dia
tribes against Mr.. Boutwell,. They want an un-
settled finance, just as the devil likes to fish IN
muddy water Speculation delights in unset
tied values, and in chaotic business relations
We remember the days of the old wild cat cur
rency, when bill brokers and note shavers done
q thriving business in exchanging bank notes
of different parts of the country. Such a cor
morant tribe finds no carriOn under the pres
ent settlement of our finances.
The Senate Committee on the refusal of rail-
roads to carry the mails except at greatly in
creased rates propose to consider the whole sub
iect of railway transportation. The idea OF
government railroad from the Atlantic to the
Mississippi is becoming popular. Many see in
it flank movement against powerful monop-
oily which promises success. The arguments
formerly used against internal Improvements
by the general government will doubtless be
extensively used by monopolists and their adj
herents, but the unpopularity of the latter will
deprive them of nearly all their force.
The State Department is laboriousy working
up the problem of Spanish extortions upon
American commerce in Cuba and Porto Rico.
The House of Representatives took strong ac-
ton lately upon this subject and the Senate for
bore to pass the resolution in mistaken deli
cacy in regard to efforts of Spain to establish
her republican government upon firm basis
IN the meantime our shipmen are compelled
p suffer from the incorrigble delays ofSpansh
diplomacy. The career of the Spanish race in
America is approaching its close. life.

left the latter port March goth. and had used
up her supply ofcoal and was putting into Hal
flax to re-eoaI. The pilot was not sufficiently
acquainted with the channel to avoid unseen
dangers. More than seven hundred souls who

The contemplation is appalling. About two
hundred and fifty escaped by ciinging to the
rigging and setting themselves aAoat on pieces
of the wreck. Some of them chung to the pro-
jected portions of the rock while the fishermen
along the shore got their boats and saved them
from watery grave. All the books and pa

re- 1t has been practice somewhat among
the army officers to visit the capital and indulge
to some extent in lobbying for the purpose of
inducing Congress to pass certain bills. This
has been particularly the case where any bills
bare upon military affairs. In order to prevent
this, Adjutant General Townsend has issued or
ders that no military officer shall advise a mem
Der Of Congress concerning the passage of any
bill without being called npou by proper author
