In response to the suggestion of Mr.. Roose-

Catholic Society Of ST. Vincent de Paul and
the New York City Mission, giving each of
these associations an equal share. Mr. Roose-

will, no doubt, be welcomed by many who are
anxious to give in charity and only want the
intelligent guidance Of those who are compe-
tent to determine what is worthy and IN
worthy among existing charities.

SHIp.-The fact that another American ship
has been searched at sea by Spanish officials
shows how small an impression of the kind We
might desire was made upon the Spanish
mind by the Virginius incident Apparently
the men who searched the Everett Gray, off
Matanzas, were soldiers, instructed to prevent
the escape from the island Of Cubans liable to
conscription; and it will, we suppose, be held
by the Spaniards that the ship was still within
the limit of their Jurisdiction; but to search

her and she is we'll nigh league from shore

AsHANTEE.-I rumor is to be trusted the
6nal struggle at Ashantee was more serious
than we were at first led to believe. In Lon
don, yesterday, rumors of a very serious ma
ture were IN circulation, although they could
not be traced to any very reliable source. 1t
Is reasonably certain that Coomassie has
fallen, that treaty has been signed and
that the British troops are on their way to the
coast. Yesterday we had the intelligence that
fhe Queen and her Ministers had sent de-
spatches to Sir Garnet Wolseley copgratulating
him on his success. That these dispatches
were sent without full knowledge of the fact
that Coomassie had been captured is not for
moment to be imagined. The probability is
that the floating runors Of serious nature
regarding the expedition mean only that there
was severe fighting before Coomassie fell.
Still, it is not impossible that after the treaty
was signed and the British army was moving
towards the coast they were attacked by the
black barbarians in the rear.

The Capture OF Bilbao by the Car
lists.


lists.
For some days past our news dispatches have
pointed to the probable capture of Bilbao by
the royalist forces in the North. At last
Bilbao has fallen, and the Carlists are in pos
session Of the city. This is q much more
serious matter than at first sight appears.
After the fall of Cartagena, which did so
much to strengthen the hands of Serrano, it
was the almost universal belief that the end of
the Carlist war in the North was close at
hand. Reinforcements were sent to the
Northern army, fresh officers were put in COM
mand, but the Carlists remained strong in
Bilbao and other of their old strongholds. Still,
it was thought that the struggle could not long
continue and the general feeling was that
Bilbao would soon be relieved. Moriones,
however, from whom so much was expected,
was badly defeated, and now we learn that the
town has submitted to Don Carlos. A later
report shows that the Carlists have found
fresh courage and we are told that at Somor-
rosto q village some fifteen miles distant
from Bilbao, the republican troops were sur
prised and completely routed. With all their
apparent success it is not possible that the
Car1ists can finally win the day. 1t is undeni-
able however, that this Carlist victory is bad
blow to the Serrano government and it will
not be at all wonderful if at an early day
Madrid should witness another coup dktat.

ing most likely. For how could France resist
that face of his, with the memories of Austen
hz and Wagram and the glories of that glori-
GUS time? When ''the moment arrives" we
are afraid the Princes influence will be limited
to his own vote He is Napoleon without
party.
We shall watch with interest the growth of
this spirit of imperialism. France is country
of surprises, and although the house OF Bona
parte has brought upon France disaster and
shame, and never given it a glory that was not
selfish and fitting and based upon tho OPP
preston of the people, there was that in the

panic Itself Is an lndisputable evidence
that we had too much; for it was the
presence OF more money than we could
legitimately employ that tempted us away
from the highways and solid grounds of
regular traffic into the ballooning schemes of
which Jay Cookies enterprise was merely the
most magnificent. And if we had too much
money then we cannot have too little now,
since we have at once more money and less to
do with it, and this will abundantly appear
as the country RECEIVERS the spirit, the temper
and the faith to try new endeavors for these,
and not money were what the panic destroyed,
and these only time can restore Legislation
will only do harm if it attempts in this direc-
ton what is clearly beyond its province.
As to the proposition for the distribution of
the new issue for the especial benefit of GER
tain sections, it is inconceivable how men of
intelligence can put faith in device SO trans
parently vain. Senator Sherman, with the
startled simplicity of common sense, asks how
the South and West are to get this new cur
rency save in exchange for values they actu-
ally possess, and we have not heard any

eminent will take which other people will
not take? II there is any product with which
to buy currency from the government it ought
also to be equal to buying the same currency
in the market from those who have it, for
there must be plenty of it. Mr.. Merrmon
argues that two hundred million dollars of
currency are idle, and there is no apparent rea-
son why this sum should be idle, if there is any
profitable employment for it. Does he mean that
it is speculative fund.- Then he had better
take care how he increases the currency, for
if there are two hundred million dollars now in
speculative use there is just that much more
money afoat than the country can probably
use, and all that we add to the volume will add
to that fund with an impulse that is beyond our
control.

WASHINGTON June 6--The Post Office De-
partment this morning received a telegram,
and was also officially informed by the French
Minister of the ratification Of the Postal Con-
vention between France and the United States
by the French Assembly
The French Minister to-day expressed to
the Postmaster General his desire that the con-
vention go into operation on the LIST July. but
this cannot oe done, as the LIST of August is fixed
for that purpose, and the notifications have to
be exchanged.
The charge for letters from France to the
Uuited States will be ten cents for il third OF
an ounce. Unpaid letters to pay above rate
with five cents additional.
The postage on newspapers, books, samples,
etc, is to be hereafter separately arranged by
each country.

First Treasurer Spinner has issued a call on
the National banks, other than gold banks,
requiring them to deposit 5 per cent of their

Hard Times in Cuba.

HAVANA, June 26-An address has been
presented to Captain General Concha, signed
by the business men of all branches of trade,
requesting that in view of the fiightful condi.
ton of financial affairs which threatens the
ruin of the country and menaces the authority
of your Excellency, it is the duty of every
good Spaniard to come to the aid of the Gov
eminent with such resources as he can COM
mand.
Gold to-day is quoted at 2 92, and will un
doubtedly soon reach 1000 if speedy and SUI
preme effort be not made to check the rise OF
the rates of foreign exchange, which like
those of gold are also going up.
This upward movement, if continued, will
soon work general bankruptcy.
For these reasons we ask for the imposition
of tax of five per cent on the riches of the
Island, represented by landed property in the
city and country, and by commercial and
banking institutions and Others to be paid
quarterly for two years, beginning with July 1,
1874
1t is to be hoped that soon the war will be
ended, and further necessity for extreme meas
ures be at an end
The subscribers of these views pledge
themselves to pay their part Of the tax and
anxiously await the decree levying the same.
A meeting is to be held tonight at the Palace.
The Capt General will preside, and all heads
of the different branches of trade are invited to
be present to discuss the financial situation.

BASE BAIL-Amdteurs Is. lone Sdrs.-A large
audience was collected at the Base Ball Park last
evening to witness the match game between the
Amateurs and Lone Stars, which was won in the
eighth inning by the Amateurs by score of 5
runs to their opponents run. This victory for
the Amateurs is, to say the least, remarkable,
when it will be remembered that this is only their
second match-game since their organization and
the club against which they played is considered
one OF our crack clubs.
We cannot wonder at this victory. for il takes a
professional club. and good one at that, to get
over the boys of the Amateurs for to speak plain
ly, they are base-ballists " from the old house.
and it requires good men to walk their log.

to older clubs" and we must CO... pliment these
gentlemen on their fine play. sd more especially
