An AsTouSDIso DISPLAY OF IGNORANCE
regarding Japanese affairs on the part Of the
press Of this country has followed from tho
recent publications relative to Mr.. Arinori
Morl, late minister from Japan to this Gov
ernment. He Is credited with having figured
as the headlight Of the new train OF ideas
which are now sweeping oser the empire Of
the Mikado, which Is true; but 1t Is untrue
that he has at any time placed himself at va
rance with his Government, except In so far
as his better knowledge and more progressive
ideas have compelled him TO do 30. We
print In another column this morning a state
ment that he sailed from Marseilles for Japan
on the sth instant, and we have information
that ON his arrival at Yokohama he will be
called to oil an important position In the for
elgu department Of his Government.

The present seems to be bad season for

and improved upon, as parents are now not

fact, as some may suppose, that can he ac-
counted for on the principle Of compensa-
tive Justice, for the improvement by the
rising generation on the customs Of their

Of the latter. In other words, the youngsters
Of nowadays skllltully put their fathers In

MARGARET HAMILL MURDERED.

Verdict OF tho Coronor's Jury-Mrs.
Her Husband Discharged.
Coroner Whitehil last evening resumed the
Inquest in the case Of Margaret Hamill. Before
the court room was opened a crowd had gathered
round the door, and through the exam
ination the room was filed to its full Ca
paclty. The two prisoners In their places and
presented their usually unconcerned appearance.
The testimony was tedious and, in the main, OF the
same tenor as on the previous nights, except that
regularly at work all the week. and himself testi-
death.
At eleven O'Clock the Coroner gave the case to
the jury, who retired to consider their verdict.
THE VERDICT.
At half-paSt twelve they returned, and Mr..
Thomas, the foreman read the verdict, which was
that Margaret Hamill came to her death by stran-
guation on the I'd day OF september, at No. 100
Ninth street, Williamsburg, at the hands OF Sarah
Merrigan, one OF the prisoners.
The Coroner then discharged James Merrigan
from custody.
Mrs. Merrigan was called to the bar and informed
that her formal examination was set down for one
O'Clock today at the COrOner's office.
As the foreman read the verdict Mrs. Merrigan,
who during the retirement OF the jury had been
chatting and smiling with her acquaintances,
turned deathy pale and sunk back into her chas-
in an almost fainting condition. When addressed
by the Coroner for some seconds she was unable
to At length she rose, and, sustaining herself
by the aid OF the railing, listened to the Cor0ner's
announcement with a face apparently indicating Q
shock of surprise and CONSERVATION.
James Merrigan appearing highly satisfied with
went with the officers who conducted his wife to
the ail.

More Trouble for the Spnniards in
Cuba.

The news from Havana shows that apart
from the progress Of the revolutionists and
inability of the Spaniards to suppress the
insurrection, there are serious troubles foment-
ing among the Spanish loyalists themselves.
Havana, socially, politically and financially,
rests on volcano which may burst forth at
any time. The republicans, now that Spain is
a republic, have raised their heads and claim
the right Of meeting and discussing political
questions. The slave-holding and royalist
party are opposed to this, and have in fac
tious and in an intolerant manner attempted
to break up the republican meetings. In one
case these shareholders, monarchists and Car
lists actually caused the police to break up
republican meeting and to march those who
were holding it to the jail Of course such con-
nivance Of the authorities with these violent
reactionists and shareholders in their outrage
upon the republicans must create revulsion
and bitter antagonism. As our correspondent
says, it needed but spark to inflame the whole
mass of people into blaze of riot and blood
she'd We fear there will be terrible scenes
yet in Havana and other cities of Cuba. All
that, however, would help the cause of Cuba
Libre. The troubles of Spain and among
Spaniards in Cuba afford the patriots good
opportunity to free their country.

General Butler-What Next!

General Butler, at Worcester, was merci-
lessly bastinadoed in the house Of his friends.
The President of the Convention whacked
him vigorously; the Convention itself treated
him as q hereto and an unwelcome inter-
loper, whose absence was more to be desired
than his company. As the meek and submis-
sive General himself stated the case as made
lose." He knew that the Puritans supporting
Nashburn had to great extent declared them
selves as resolved upon o bolt in the event of
Buffers nomination, and, singing out one of
these anti-Butler delegates, the gentleman
from Essex raised the question against him
that any member who had thus made up his
mind not to abide by the action of the Con-
vention, in the event of Buffers nomination,
had no right to o place in the Convention.
The point was well taken but after much
shufaing it was boldly met by Mr.. Freeman
Clarke with the answer that the action of the
Convention could not take away the liberty Of
any individual member. Upon this hint
Buffers motion for the expulsion of the
offending member was turned over to the
smothering committee and smothered, pro-
ceeding which was equivalent to q broad hint
to Butler that the Convention, on any terms,
would be glad to get rid of him.
A more impulsive individual than Butler,
under all these taunts and provocations, en-
ragged beyond further endurance, would have
thrown off his party shackles, and, appealing
to his friends to follow him, would have re-
tired with declaration of war; But Butler,
like President johnson when he first entered
the field against an anti-Johnson Congress,
preferring to fight his adversaries inside the
lines of their party, reaffrms, under the party
lash, his allegiance to the Convention, and all
his followers join him in the general hurrah
fer Washburn. There is, we fear in this
touching example of Christian resignation
something more or less than Christian mag
nanimity on the part of the rejected Butler.
The Puritans may fancy that they have
finally disposed of him; but we fear that in
this pleasing idea they are very much mis-
taken; that they will surely hear from him
again, and that, like the prudent Dutchman,
he has 'only got down from his horse to get
on better" He has q heavy bill of damages
against his accusers. and he will not forget
them.

and his party, and that the desperate resort OF
building boats from the materials OF the ship
for an escape from the wreck probably fol-
lowed soon after the disappearance of the
company on the ice. So far, then,
Captain Buddington is vindicated against
any msgivings of negligence or in
difference as to the fate of Captain Tyson and
company. The complete story of the Polaris,
however, will probably not be known short of
the recovery of Captain Buddington and his
company from the lost ship, and, next to the
considerations of humanity, which keep alive
the general hope of their ultimate rescue, is
the desire for their recovery in order that the
complete story of the Polaris may be known.
