to see some system perfected that will make Il
unnecessary. But We have had an exceptional
case this winter, just rs in Ireland in 184S, on
in India at the present time. Nothing would
be more absurd, for instance, than for the
British Cabinet to discuss the wisdom Of send
ing rice to India, or the soundness of the
political economy Of employing Hndoo coolies
of high caste to work upon roads There is
not political economist in the kingdom who
would approve Of these things as measures Of
administration. Yet every Englishman knows
they must be done as matters of hfe and death.
So in New York We were in presence of
danger as painful, If not so vast, as the famine.
and our duty was not to discuss charity az
system of public policy, but to provide imme-
date food for the starving. When the famine
in India is over the statesmen may devise
means to prevent its recurrence. Now that
our distress is over, let us devise means
to prevent the recurrence Of the suffer.
ing that came with the winter. It is only
by studying what has been done thus far that
we can prepare ourselves for any similar emer-
gency should it unhappily arise in the future.

The Desth Of Cespedes.

Treachery delivered the Cuban leader to the
vengeance of his enemies. A wretched negro
prisoner, in order to save his own life, led the
Spanish troops to the place of concealment Of
the ex-President. Unable to escape, Ces-
pedes faced his pursuers and fell, pistol
in hand, riddled with bullets. Such
death became his life and it cannot but in
crease the sympathy felt with the Cuban
cause Except the satisfaction of their VEN
geance the death Of Cespedes will bring no
advantage to the Spaniards The insurrec-
ton does not rest on the courage or patriotism
of any leader, but draws its strength from
the intense hatred of the Cuban people to
the death of Cespedes may arouse the Cubans
to new efforts for vengeance and bring new
recruits to the insurgent standard. The
Spanish authorities imagined that With the
death of Agramonte and Cespedes the struggle
would come to an end, but we venture
to predict that the course of the
war will not be Influenced in the least,
though both these gallant men have
passed away. This year has been one of
varied triumph and ill fortune to the fighting
Cubans. They have lost many bold and noble
spirits, but this is partly due to the new and
holder tactics they have adopted. On the
other hand, they have won signal victories
and forced the Spanish government to admit
the formidable character of the instruction.
The death of Cespedes, owing to his deposit
ton from power, has lost its political
significance, but there will be felt a general
regret that so grand character has been
swept from the worlds stage. 1t will be
some consolation to his sorrowing family to
know that his mission WAS done, and that
Cuba must ever esteem him among the noblest
and bravest of her children.

Mr.. Wood on tho National Finances

Mr.. Wood tho National Finances.
Yesterday, the House of Representatives
having met for debate on the tax bills, Mr.
Fernando Wood delivered long and critical
speech on the financial condition and policy
of the government It was, in the main, q
reply to Mr.. Dawes, but covered more ground
than the statement of the Chairman of the
Committee of Ways and Means, and closed
with fifteen specific charges against the adj
ministration some of which were well founded
and others based only on the partisanship of
an ambitious democratic leader. Mr.. Wood
argued, as we have repeatedly asserted. that
the proper way to relieve the embarrassment
of the Treasury Department Is to reduce e1-
penditures, and not either to borrow money
or increase taxation. The estimates of ex-
penditures for the fiscal year ending the Both
of June, 1875, as submitted by the Secretary
of the Treasury, amounted to three hundred
and nineteen million dollars. Mr.. Wood
says this sum is at least fifty or sixty
millions too much, and should be reduced
to two hundred and fifty million dollars
Allowing hundred millions for interest on
the debt and thirty millions for pensions there
would be left hundred and twenty millions
for the ordinary and current expenses of the
different departments Of government This is
over fifty millions more than the total expen-
ditures Immediately before the war. The
growth of the country and necessary business
Of the government do not call for such addi-
tional sum. Apart from the debt interest and
pensions there is really no expenditure result
ing from the war and but little more is abso-
lutely needed than in 1860. But admitting a
liberal margin for increase OF population and
business in the several departments hundred
and twenty millions should be ample. The
government ought not to require more
than two hundred and fifty millions Mr..
Wood said properly that the chairman of
the Committee of Ways and Means had not
proposed any definite and practical plan to
meet the exigencies Of the case. There has
been great deal of talk about retrenchment,
so as to make the expenditures meet the in
come without increasing taxes or adding to
the debt and some spasmodic efforts have
been made to pare down expenses in certain
departments to the amount of twenty millions
or SO but no thorough and comprehensive
plan has been proposed. The whole ma
chinery of government remains on the war
basis of cost, and. difficult as it may be to
bring Congress and the administration to
economical peace ideas and practice, this
ought to be done to save the country from a
state Of bankruptcy and corruption.

Sir Garnet Wolsclcy and the Ashan-
tees.

tees.
For some days past our news from Ashantee
and the headquarters of the British army
has been strangely confused and contradic-
tory. The truth seems at last to have been
reached. An official despatch has been re-
ceived in London, at the War Office, from Sir
Garnet Wolseley, dated the 7th of last month,
announcing the capture and destruction by
fire of the Ashantee capital, the fight of the
King and the homeward march of the British
troops. The despatch also announces that
messengers had just arrived requesting q
treaty of peace" Sir Garnet concludes by
saying that he intends to remain, with the
native troops, until the 18th or 14th, to allow
time for negotiations. The destruction of Coo
massie by fire is suggestive, if not of severe
fighting, at least of a terrible revenge, and
seems to corroborats the report of yesterday,
that the original overtures for peace were
"treacherous and part of a plot intended to lure
the army to destruction. We are no longer in
doubt as to the success of the expedition 1t
is strange, however that the British troops
should have been allowed to go coastwards,
and before treaty of peace was signed. ALI
this will, no doubt be fully explained by and
by Meanwhile, we can see but little glory
resulting from this expedition, either to Sir
Garnet Wolseley or to the British govern
ment. Compared with the Magdala affair,
which, after all, was only military exploit,
this thing of Coomassie is poor, and not lit
tie contemplate. 1t might have been better
managed and it might have led to grander re-
suits.

TIE SPANISH GOVERNMENT AND THE CAR
L1srs.-Day after day we are compelled by
cable dispatches to think of Spain and her
curiously perplexed affairs. After all we have
heard Bilbao has not yet fallen. The town is
still loyal and holds out against the Carlists.
1t will be remembered that at the commence
ment OF the reign of Amadeus Serrano went
North and speedily made an end of all public
Carlist demonstrations. Serrano's leniency
on that occasion has been rewarded with
world Of trouble, not to himself alone, but
to his predecessors in Office. One of our
items of news gives US to understand that
the government has sixty-fve thousand SOL
diers in the North fighting against the Carlists.
We had no idea that the Carists were so
strong that they could hold out against so
powerful an army. We suspect that the sixty
five thousand look better on paper than on
the field of battle. Sixty-fve thousand well
armed, well drilled, capable men, led by COM
petent officers, ought in one month to make
IN end of the Csrlist instruction, limited as
that insurrectou now IL

with their money lightly If the investga-
ton of the conspiracy uncovers the history in
all these details it will be the most wonderful
social romance of our times.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature in the
Tichborne case Is the exposure it has made of
the inadequacy for practical occasions of the
cumbrous system Of English law and of its abb
solute unfitness for any other purpose than to
make the fortunes Of the lawyers. Orion has
shown that property in England. which the
law is more especially contrived to protect, is
as much at the mercy Of bold adventurer as
ever traveller purse was at the mercy of q
highwayman. II has cost the Tichborne fam
ly well nigh half million dollars TO save
their property from the grasp of this man,
and of course there is no opportunity to re-
cover the money SO spent. If system of
jurisprudence will permit fellow who starts
up like mushroom in some obscure corner
to compel property owners to stand on their
defence to that extent, the proprietors of
smaller estates must surrender at once under
pain of finding themselves, after the loss of
their property, overwhelmed with debt And
OF Magma Charta, which says that justice shall
not be sold, they still pirate in England as if it
had some vitality.
Orion fought English justice at bay through
two remarkable trials and on one actually
made drawn battle, and this, it is evidently
appreciated, is very dangerous example; and,
to deter Others from working the fruitful field
it indicates, an example must be made in the
punishment of all who aided, even though to
establish completely may occupy the courts
another year and delay ordinary proceedings
for that length of time. If the Judge be con-
demned when the guilty are acquitted, that
jurisprudence should be equally condemned
which, to punish one rogue or one set of
rogues, must deny justice to whole nation
for upwards Of year.

gestions for the conduct of future revival

The topic that is likely to produce the
greatest degree of friction in the religious
community is that announced by DR.. Fulton,
Of Brooklyn, Is his morning theme-'1ntant
Baptism Hindrance to Christian Union"
The Doctor. it is well known, is an ultra close
communionist ready at all times to take up
arms in defence of his UNCONVENTIONAL princi-
pies or prejudicea The topic chosen by him
to-day indicates his readiness to accept oil the
odds against him on believers baptism as
prerequisite to interchurch communion. 1t
is substantially challenge to Pedobaptists
to meet the issue and defend infant baptism if
they can. We shall await with interest his
onset on the ranks of the enemy.
Not so controversial, though indicating pug
nacity, is the topic chosen by Rev. Mr.. Cor
bit, of Brooklyn, for his pulpit consideration
this morning. elites Battle is evil
IDENTITY a battle IN which We are oil
more 81 less engaged. If Mr.. Corbit
can give us from his half-century experience
some instructions in spirituaftactics we may
be able in LIES battle to cons off victo-
rious. This should be his ain: And
while he talks, also, about curiosity, he
should remember that though it has increased
the sorrow and woe of humanity. it has also
very materially added to our blessings and
benefits. We do not know any better place for
the Church to be than just where it is--in the
world-provided, however, that the dividing
line between both is kept steadily prominent.
Mr.. Sweetser has promised to tell us some
things about the Church and the World. And
as one of the most important constituent ele-
ments in either or both is children, Mr.. Pull
man will tell us how we should deal with chill
dren. We must presume he has large do
nestle experience with his subject, which he
will publish for the benefit of others less
favored than he.
There are many persons who think this is
the most joyous age Of the world; that there
are to-day more elements existing among men
conducive to happiness than ever existed be-
fore. They are, doubtless, right. But every
bright cloud has also dark side. Every
painting must have its shading, and so this
lthesome, happy, joyous age has its periods
of sadness too. DR.. Porteous, Of London,
whose brief experience here and more e1-
tended experience in England must have made
him familiar with his subject, will tell his
Brooklyn friends something about the Sadness
of the Age" And as we all need the sympathetic
word or the friendly help of some one in our
hours of sadness, Mr.. Hoyt will tell us how We
can make Christ our friend, and take Him
with US in all our walks in this life and be-
yond, where sadness and sorrow cannot over
take Us. We commend these topics to-day to
our readers for their consideration and refec-
ton.

Politics IN OHIo.-According to the Gin
cinnati Commercial, which has no standing in
the republican party, the prospects of the
Ohio democrats in the next election are not SO
fattering as most people suppose The Legis-
lature has done nothing, and the effort at redis-
tricting the State into Congressional districts
is likely to prove as partisan and disgraceful
as under republican rule. 1t seems impossible
that party which has come into power after
many years Of opposition could thus feebly
throw away the prize; but greed and corrup-
ton have so demoralized our politics that we
can scarcely expect any political organization
to retain power by wise legislation and the
force of virtuous example.

Practical THOUGHTS ON CURRENT Topics. -
The difficulty of getting our religious cor
respondents to deal with current topics and
phases of moral and religious thought, aside
from abstruse subjects and stereotyped doc
trines and dogmas, has been frequently forced
upon US. And the greater difficulty of enlist
ing the best minds and the best thoughts in
this direction has also been too painfully
apparent in the past. But our readers must
