current obligations The statistics on the
subject before us of 1860 will answer for this
purpose. In that year the revenues from the
State and its colonies were SOC, 7s4, 045, and
the expenditures were $685. 313, 1873, and the
national debt was $674, 254, 955. The army,
on peace footing, numbered 1906 men
but with the reserves, for the contingencies OF
war, it numbered 232, 1888 men Of all arms.
The navy comprised 1877 ships-of-war, OF
which 20 were sidewheel steamers and 81 were
screw steamers. There were also at that time
"a steamers under construction. Since that
day dozen or more powerful iron-clads have
been added to the service. The number OF
men employed in this formidable armada was
all told, some Is, 600. All the costs Of these
expensive warlke establishments have been
drawn from the 15,500,000 of people of poor
Spain and the 1000, 900 of her colonies. The
country, whose exports are $4,000, 900 in
value, against $52,000,000 of imports, has
respectable balance of trade in its favor; but
with taxations and expenditures of SOC, 100000
year, with debt in the background of
1914, 900, 600, with all the embarrassments
and discouragements to industry of several
generations Of civil war, with her cities over
run by Migrants and desperate Adventures
and her mountains swarming with revolution.
airy banditti, with O people impoverished and
disheartened by the collectors and robbers,
with sod to great extent worn out by an
exhausting system of cultivation, poor Spain,
we fear, is bankrupt to the point OF financial
collapse and demoralized to the verge Of
anarchy
But had this republican government of Spain
in the outset recognized the claims of Cuba,
and had it counted the probable costs of war
for the suppression of the Cuban Republic,
and had it offered to the Cubans their indie
pendence for the sum even of one hundred
millions of dollars, there would have been
surrender to the Republic in Cuba
which would have been the gain of
hundred millions to the Republic
in Spain-a sum of money which Spain
has not possessed at any time for more than
half century. AS it is, the difficulties of
Spain are the opportunity to the Cubans, and
it is possible that President Grants opinion of
Inst March-that before the expiration Of six
months the independence OF Cuba will be
effected in consequence Of the many embar-
easements of Spain-will be verified. We
hope that the Republic in Spain will in the
end come off the victor; but in any event we
hope that General Grants prediction in refer
ence to Cuba will be fulfilled.

The Fight Against the Nuisances.


The Board of Health are now fairly on the
warpath, and have made brilliant commence
ment in the right direction. The bone
boilers still distribute noxious gases with q
liberal hand from their rendering boats,
which are anchored in the middle of the Hud-
son River, opposite the city. But the fiat has
gone forth, this time no empty threat, and the
fields and pastures new to carry on
their pestilential business. A pc
rusal of q reporters experience in a
visit to the late sums of the
bone boilers published in another column,
will convince the stoutest stomach of the
urgent necessity of the action of the health
authorities. And yet these dealers in filth
affirm that their business is not at all dele
terious to health, and that the adjoining
neighborhood could not suffer in the slight
est degree from the sickening efluvia en-
gendered by their work. There will be,
naturally, an outcry against the bone boilers
wherever they next locate themselves but
that is no reason why great city like New
York should be compelled to endure their
presence.
The raid on the marketmen took place last
night, and was complete success. The pro-
posal to remove only five feet of the unsightly
booths which cucumber the streets adjoining
the market was not considered sufficient for
sanitary purposes, and clean sweep was
made of all. A temporary injunction granted
by Supreme Court Judge in Brooklyn raised
the spirits of the obstinate marketmen, but
the news that this injunction was partially
vacated ct a later hour in the day brought
them down again to q state of despon-
dency. The marketmen and the Board of
Health will have hearing before the Court
this morning, and definite settlement of this
vexatous question will likely be attained
Meanwhile the guardians of the public health
have not been idle. They did good work last
night, which will show corresponding results in
q very short time Yet much remains to be
done, and much-needed sanitary measure
would be to declare the entire market, as it
now stands, a nuisance. The whole structure
is rotten and filthy, and should be replaced by
an iron building with ample sewerage and ac-
commodations for the transaction of bust
ness without offence to public health.
Both Washington and Fulton markets
are a disgrace to a great city like ours,
and the sooner radical reform is put in
operation in both places the better. The
health authorities should now call upon the
Department Of Public Works to pay some
attention to the horrible condition of many of
the streets on the east side In many places
the pavement is in such dilapidated condi-
ton that the street cleaners cannot rid its
numerous receptacles of garbage and dirt
This work of sanitary reform must be thorough
In order to be efficient, and all municipal
departments should lend q helping hand
The persistent efforts of the HERALD have
awakened the authorities to sense of their
duty, and will not be relaxed until we can
| point with pride to New York as a model of
cleanliness and sanitary excellence.

Emperor Francis Joseph to the American de-
partment on Tuesday was that he praised the

thanks to our public schools. We have no
aristocracy to patronize industry; but we have
great country with great wants, and the
struggle for precedence makes men think, and
our public schools render labor at once active
and intelligent. It will be well if the Old
World can learn the lesson in time. A little
more of the school and little less of the
patronage would be gain. We are not yet
industrially or artistically at the top of the
tree. In q few years we shall have few rivals.

upon which the Centennial Exhibition at
Philadelphia in 1875 is based-a grand CEN
tenary celebration of the PRONUNCIATION of the
Declaration of Independence-is in itself
sufficient to set at rest any quibbling about
the propriety of selecting that city for hold
ing worlds fair. Every part Of the country
recognizes the justice of this, 80 it cannot be
matter of municipal jealousy. New York,
which has no occasion to be jealous of Phila-
delphia in anything, would be least likely to
be jealous in matter where mere patriotism Is
sufficient to decide in favor of our sister city's
pretensions. So far, indeed, is the metropolis
from being jealous of Philadelphia that the
best assistance New York can give towards
making the exhibition great success will
be cheerfully given. We shall work as hard
for that end as if the exhibition were to be
held in this city, that the centennial ami
versary of American Independence may show
such an exposition of the development and
progress of the country as will be worthy OF
the Republic and the people

battle and defeat all its enemies, but it may be
overthrown in day. 1t still might have been
strong enough against all opposition at home,
in the sinews of war, to maintain the loyalty
of the army and the navy but for the men
and money wasted in the vain effort to sup

Should the Republic in Spain be overthrown
it may be charged, more than to all other causes
to the war upon the Republic in Cuba. Prob
ably not less than one hundred thousand
Spanish soldiers, during the last five years,
have been sacrificed in Cuba, and millions of
money have been expended for the suppression
Of the Cuban instruction for which there can
be no return. From these heavy drafts upon
Spain for the maintenance of her possession

New Orleans cotton1 Exchange
New Orleans, oct. lOtb, le73.


AT special meeting Of the Roard Of Di-
rectors Of this Exchange, held this DAY, the
following circular was unanimously adopted:
Ia view Of the general misapprehension
which seems to prevail regarding the pres.
ent financial status Of the country, we deem
it not out Of place to lay before our friends
in the country, few Of the leading facts,
ard our deductions therefrom.
In New York the monetary panic is yir
tually over, confidence is being rapidly re-
stored and currency commands . mere
nominal premium over checks accepted by
the Banks. Asa matter Of self-proteeton,
to prevent their becoming depleted of cur
rency during the height Of the phnc, BY
means Of drafts upon them from the North
and West, the Banks olthis city suspended
currency payment, and hence the inability
Of our merchants to furnish their customers
with their usual quantity of currency, by
which the picking Of cotton, and the move
ment Of the crop, to market could be facili-
tated, as had been their course in former
seasons.
The strength OF our banks, has been fully
demonstrated, BY their conduct during the
tryinl times through which we have passed !;
nevertheless, the immediate pressure for
currency, has caused the sale OF their &C
cepted checks at large discount. In the
common course Of business, the South is
largely indebted to its commercial centres,
during the summer, for assistance ia plant
inc and cultivatng the crops and, these
centres, in turn are more or less indebted to
the East. These obligations are cancelled
on the free movement Of the cotton crop.
The present interruption causes the balance
or trade to remain against us, and sight ex.
change on New York is now selling at 2
per cent premium, when it was at dis
count at this time last year, as would be
the case now with free movement Of the
crop. This anomalous state Of affairs must
continue until the free arrival Of produce
takes place.
Our banks are doing all in their power
but il cannot be expected of them to bring
currency here ut loss Of fully two and one
half per cent, even were it possible bul
it is plainly out Of the question, until there
is a movement ofprodnce, for us to have .
supply of currency here. Nor il il proba
bic that New York, already largely crrd
tor Of the South, will come to our relief
we must help ourselves BY The movement q
our own crop.
We are convinced that at an early date
the Northern Banks will nearly all have re
sumed their usual course Of business, anc
that those If the South will follow as soor
as the movement Of the crop causes a sui
ficient amount Of Exchange to be draVn.
1t is not within tile province o. this TX
change, representing both buyers and seller
OF cotton, to express an opinion az 70 tn
future course Of prices but, we may b
permitted to say that il il reasonable t
suppose that parties realizing At curren
rates, during the present dearth Of cottor
will do as well as, Or possibly better tha
those who sell later 10 the season when rt
ceipts Of necessity must be very large.

A special dispatch to the Chicago 7ri
5une from Oshkosh, Wis, says The girl
Amelia Grumel, who had her scalp torn Of
il single mill, Is still alive, and will
probably recover, She was working under
shaft which was gong at rate Of 200
reyo utions per minute, when her hair,
which was very long, caushtn the knuckle-
Joint, and in an instant it was torn entirely
from her head, taking with il all the flesh
and muscles on her head. From line
drawn around from each eyebrow her skull
was left white and bare, without trace Of
blood or flesh. The 'stringest part Of the
accident is that she felt little or no pain,
declaring that when it was being torn off
ali that she felt was tickling sensation in
her head. She coolly walked out Of the
room and waited patiently for a buggy to
take her home. Her only regret was the
fright it would give her mother The scalp,
with its beautiful long locks Of hair, was
curled and entwined around the shaft ut
the Joint, and when the mill was stopped
it was taken down, but no one had suliicept
presence Of mind TO replace it upon her
head. 1t is nearly perfect. and the doctors
have determined to tan it with the hair on
so that if the girl recoyers it may be used
as wig. The case is one Of the most re
markable on record, and has created feel
ing of intense horror here.
