INFLATION.

PRESIDENT GRANT declared in his hrst
inaugural address that the return to a
, specie basis must be provided for as
soon as it can be accomplished without
material detriment to the debtor class or
to the country at large" The country
is not making much Roadway toward
specie payments. After the legal ten
der issue is in creased to 100000, 600, a
dollar of it will be worth about one
eighth less than before. The National
Banks will increase their circulation In
uroportion, and the value of paper
dollar will be still further reduced, and
prices of all the Injuries and prime ne
cessities of life will be increased. The
Government is about to redeem Its
promises to pay, issued during the war
by printing more promises to pay IL
voluntarily increases its Indebtedness
and compels the people to accept the
evidences thereof as a circulating me-
dium. As a natural result, We see by
the morning dispatches that geld has
advanced in New York as high as llS4.
wall street is happy, but New York
merchants are in a very different condi-
ton. The money they will receive here
after in payment of outstanding notes
and accounts will not be the same kind
of money that in circulation when
such debts we're made. The debtor viii
be enabled to pay off at heavy dis
count. There was an abundance OF
money before, and this will tempt men
to 90 into all sorts of speculations and
ilIeeitimate business enterprises. New
York has an abundance of money, and
low interest rates prevail. The last
number Of the Journal Of Commerce re-
ceived SAYS: 1.-THE demand for money is
insufficient to give employment to all
the surplus funds offered on the market
at current rates." Economy is what the
country needs, from the Government
down through all classes of people. An
excessive issue of paper money can only
give a fictitious prosperity, which will
be short-lived, but dear in the end.

New YORK, April A letter from
Havana says that on the 10Th of March
Captain General Jovellar took precau-
tionary measures for the protection of the
exchange of officers, as rumors of mani
festations to be made against those off,
GERS were aAoat. Word was sent to the
Spanish Admiral to have marines in
readiness for landing at a moments
notice. Howitzers we're mounted in the
bows of launches Of the Spanish men-of-
war ready to be landed. Several groups
of men were quietly dispersed.
The same letter says that all accounts
obtainable Of the battle of Quasemas
show it to have been one Of the closest
contested fights that has taken place
between the Insurgents and Spaniards.
Of the wounded brought to Havana
most of them received their injuries by
the machete. They report that they
we're over two hours fighting at close
quarters. Brigadier Armenou, with
about 5000 men--cavalry, infantry and
artillery-becoming aware of the mass
ing of the Insurgents under Gomez,
marched forward and on the 10Th
encountered them in large force. The
attack was Immediately began by the
Cubans, SO that General Armenon
had barely time enough to form
square, placing his artillery in the
center, the cavalry being ordered to cut
through the enemy's lines and procure
reinforcements from Puerto Principe.
The cavalry was fearfully cut up, very
few being left to bring the news of the
critical position of the Spanish column.
These succeeded in reaching Puerto
Principe, the pursuers close at their
heels. General Bascones, with column
of 1000 men started out, but had hardly
gone beyond the suburbs of Puerto
Principe before he was attacked by the
Cubans. Bascones succeeded in press
ing on and had another severe encounter
with the Insurgents but finally uniting
his column with that of Armenon. The
losses of the Spaniards have been very
severe, and it is reported that over forty
officers are killed and wounded. Both
sides fought with great bravery.

NEW YORK.

New YoRK, April AT the temper
ance mass meeting in Cooper's Institute
last evening, under the auspices OF the
Sons of Temperance, Rev. DR.. Cuyler
spoke of the prohibition laws, and
showed how much more had been done
through the moral suasion of women in
their efforts in the West than had been
effected by legislation in years. Resolu-
tons calling upon the legislature for the
suppression of dram shops throughout
the State and for preventing the sale OF
all spirituous and Intoxicating liquors,
were adopted. Rev. John Hall has pub
lished card defending the resolu-
tons adopted at the ministers meet
ing, and says the words consistent
and intelligent temperance " which
appears in them were not intended to dis
claim the Western movement, nor dis
claim total abstinence, but were used to
secure public cooperation against drunk

dividual convictions of personal duty.
Consistent and intelligent temperance,
be says, means such personal attitude
toward strong drink in practice as is
consistent with good morals, with truth,
and with mans avowed opinions, and
such as is defensible by Scripture and
reason. 1t was intended to exclude
cant, ignorance and dogmatism, the
petty sel6shness that trades on temper
ance reform, and the honest or dishon-
est laundering which makes the reform
religion.
At meeting last night of those favor
ing cremation number Of letters were
read. Rev. o. B. Frothington wrote
that be had no prejudice against the
practice. Charles A. Dana said it was
certainly not creditable to civilization
that any part Of the earth's surface
should be devoted to graveyards, and
the remains OF the dead disposed Of in
so unscienti6c, cumbersome and repul-
sive manner as at present.

TIE WEST ANp rae sOUTH.

The New York Herald of the 3lst OF
March sounds the tocsin of war and
launches forth in the most inhammatory
style against the West and the South on
the subject of initiation. 1t reads like
the articles of 1861. We quote few
sentences: Imitation means war just as
slavery meant war all the time from
1910 till 1860. New England, the Mid
die States, Virginia and the Carolinas
do not mean that after laying the foun-
dation of the Republic the West and
Southwest shall ruin and discredit tAem
and the Republic together. The Heralds
prediction Of the tread of armed men in
1861 was not more certain than repe-
tition Of that prediction now unless
the newly Aedged States, which
think themselves wiser than the
original thirteen, learn wisdom
from the danger of the hour. "
There are several columns Of this sort
of sensational stuff. The Heralds argu-
ments are many of them good, but lose
all their effect because mixed up with 50
much clap.trsp and prophetic bombast.
The newly Aedged States of the West
alluded 70, furnished the best war mate
rial the North had in the late war, and
would stand the prospect of war with
the States east OF the Alleghenies with
great eomplaceHcy. The people of
those States AS well as the South think
that initiation is at least a temporary
remedy for high rates OF interest and a
forced scarcity Of money. They are
mistaken, as we believe, but neverthe-
less the fact has come about that the
West is firmly allied with the South as
against the money changers Of the East
on this great national question, and there
are not wanting those who look beyond
the present to a future partnership aud
unity of interests which shall be ex.
tended into politics aud have a hearing
upon many other vital questions.
