TIE FUNERAL OF JUDGE EDMONDS.

The obsequies OF Judge John w. Edmonds
a gentleman whose decease has only been
equalled in the amount Of interest 1t has excited
by the death of James w. Gerard, were yesterday
solemnized at the Episcopal church OF St. George,
in stuyvesant square, corner OF sixteenth street.
DR.. stephen II. Tying, an old and valued friend OF
the deceased. oflciated and was assisted by tho
Rev. Mr.. Peet. The services were according
to the ritual OF the English Church and
full choir sung the music which was
rendered very finely, the acoustic principles
OF the building being excellent. The remains OF
the deceased were brought from his last residence
to the church and were followed there by very
large number Of relatives and friends. At the
entrance the body was met by DR.. Tying and
Rev. Mr.. Peet, and there was recred IL am the
resurrection and the life, and he who believeth IN
me, though he were dead, yet shall he rise
again."
The remains were then taken up the main aisle.
and the casket, very handsome one, was placed
on the trestles before the sanctuary. The church
began rapidly to Ill up until there were
about 200 persons present OF both sexes.
Professor Williams presided at the organ, ana
was assisted by double quartet. me pallDearers

The rector OF st. Georges Rev. DR.. Tying, read
the lessons, and alluded IN most feeling and
beautiful manner to the noble and generous char
acter OF his deceased friend. Dr.. Tying spoke az
some length OF the special commission, OF whlcl
he had been q member, together with Judge Ed
monds. to assist clothe, feed and educate the
freemen at the island Of Hilton Head. Or. Iyng
nrivierc to oficiate. as he did, by the the ex-
Pressed wish OF the deceased, at his obsequies.
- some beautiful f0ral tributes to the memory OF
Jndce Edmonds were scattered on the coffin and
many persons In church were sobbinR as the body
nassed out At the door a lady relative OF the de-
ceased, in deep mourning, was seen to be in q
fainting condition, and was carried out nsensible
to her Carriage. The remains were taken to the
foot OF Leroy street. North River, where they were
placed on board of the propeller Hudson, and were

NApoLEoNIsM AGAIN. refusal of Prince
Jerome Napoleon to take part in the Chisel-
hurst demonstration is still subject Of COM
ment in the French and English press. A
mysterious communication now appears, from
the Prince evidently, which says:-'It is per-
fectly true that Prince Napoleon places the
claims of France higher than the pretensions
of any dynasty, whether it be legitimist,
Orleanist or imperialist and it was for this
reason that, uniting with those Frenchmen
who sought his aid, be- in September last,
protested against an attempt which, if it had
succeeded, would have been attended with
consequences equally lamentable to those
which would result if Chiselhurst counsels
had forces People will be curious to know
the character of this attempt" Most likely
landing at Boulogne with tame eagle on q
pole and the young Prince Imperial in the
Napoleonic costume. Plainly Prince Jerome
will take part in no such adventures. And as
he has taken hotel in the magnificent quarter
of the Park Monceau he probably intends TO
be o private prince in Paris rather than On
imperial prince in the cold exile OF the Jura
valleys of Switzerland.

The New CAPTAIN GENERAL OF CUBA.-
General Concha, who made considerable repu-
tation by the suppression of the Lopez rebel
lion, has again assumed the reins of power in
Cuba. He comes, as did his prede-
cessors, to wipe out and wholly ex-
terminate the instruction, but we doubt
very much that he will succeed. The task
before him now is much more difficult than
his former experience would lead him to
judge. The rebels have been hardened by
we'll nigh six years constant fighting,
and are not likely to dissolve before the
paper manifestoes of even SO terrible person
as General Concha. If the Madrid govern
ment were wise they would send out agents to
treat with the insurgents for the sale OF the
island while it has salable value.
Unfortunately, the people at Madrid are
not likely to take this view, and we
shall see Concha fail as his predecessors have
failed, until the moment arrives when Spain,
thoroughly exhausted, finally lets 60 her hold
of the Pearl of the Antilles, which she has
spent so much blood and treasure to retain in
her imperial crown.

The LABOR QUESTION. irrepressible
conflict between labor and capital will 60 on.
The master mechanics of the city are discon-
tented with the Eight Hour law, and have re
solved not to employ any man who will not
work ten hours day. The workingmen
on their part seem resolved to maintain the
advantage they have gained, and so we are
threatened with paralyzation of business just
at the moment every one is looking forward to
the opening of the spring trade. The argu-
ment of the master mechanics is that
the eight hour system exerts de-
moralizing influence on the men, and
is driving trade from the city. The way they
propose to remedy the evil is, however, much
more likely to damage than to serve the
interests of the city. Can no other means be
found to settle differences than the ever-recur-
ring strike and lockout, which cause only
suffering and misery, without securing any
constant result to the contending parties A
spirit of Cancellation and little generous
thoughtfulness on both sides might prevent
these conflicts. Friendly arbitration could
accomplish more than harsh dealing and
selfshness.

GRAIN RECEIVERS The necessity Of estab-
fishing grain receivers in this city has been
long felt, and yesterday meeting was held
at the Produce Exchange to take into con-
sideration the best means of facilitating the
receipt and delivery of grain. The opinion
seemed to be general that the Chicago system
Of elevators would not suit New York, and
that we must look to floating magazines and
to better regulation for the grading Of
wheat to cure the existing difficulty as to
storage. The want of uniformity of system is
at present one of the chief obstacles in the
delivery and reception of freight.

feat it and this observation Senator Sargent
had the moral courage to make in his place.
Senator Conkling is also honorably dis
tinguished for q Arm protest at the last
moment against the measure. Perhaps the
men who cast the nineteen Southern votes
would be as little dissatisfied at the ruin OF
the party upon whose shoulders they have
helped place the burden of responsibility for
this infamous measure as at the full fruition
OF its possible effect upon the national credit.
Exactly what the country has to say to this
legislation we hear from Connecticut where
the republican party was most Enthusiastically
thrown overheard on the very day on which
this vote was cast In little State where
change of political opinion against the DOM
inant party might be indicated by small
vote the vote is overwhelmingly against that
party. Every branch of the government is
put in the hands of the opposition, and by
majority SO definite as to make the expression
of popular disgust with republican rule un-
mistakably emphatic. Republicans have made
job of the reconstruction of the Southern
States have conducted that great political
process in alliance with thieves Of every
stripe and with view not to the safe return
of those States to power, but only to the en-
riching of wretches dependent upon party
favor, caring not for the national but only
for the personal and plundering part of the
problem and now the republicans Of the West
are openly allied with the enemies of
the country from the South in policy that
leads by no devious or hidden way to ma
tional dishonor 1t is not strange, therefore,
that the people of stanch old Connecticut,
the upholders of freedom and honesty in all
emergencies, whether called democrats or re-
publicans, should record at the polls their
vigorous protest against the party in power.
On the two problems Of reconstruction and
the finances, the only two issues since the war,
that party has betrayed both liberty and
honor, and the people will bear with it no
longer. Every other State will follow in the
way indicated by New Hampshire and Con-
necticut; and General Grant, ''bound by his
word against every scheme and device Of re-
pudiation and dlshonor," should note before
he signs the Initiation bill equally the source
aud character Of the votes by which it was
carried in the Senate and the temper of the
people whose honor is pledged for the national
solvency.

AMERICAN JOURNALISM.
From the London Daily Telegraph. I

1'1e 110'1N'0''
The terms OF the treaty concluded between Sir
Garnet Wolseley and the Ambassador OF King
Korfee Kalcalli at Fommanah, on the 18th Febru-
airy, we're. 1t now appears given with SUFFICIENT
accuracy in the telegram OF the correspondent OF
the NEW YORK HERALD, published few days ago.
Indeed, the correspondent would almost seem to
have read Sir Garnet's dispatches, as we'll az the
draft Of the treaty; and we must either suppose
that gentleman to be on singular terms OF inti-
macy with the British commander, or wonder very
much how he contrived to hit on the points Of
botn treaty and dispatches so exactly.

ALL ONE WAY-The people of New York on
the question of rapid transit. Nearly all the
members of Assembly from this city pre-
sented petitions on Monday in favor of Mr..
Eastman's bill. This is the strongest argu-
ment that could be used. II vote were
taken on the subject in the city the majority
for Mr.. Eastman's bill, or some similar
measure, would be overwhelming. And why
should not the people here decide this mat
teri They alone are the interested parties.

on the proposal to make the duty on i'm

per gallon and one dollar and fifty
cents per case was probably unfavorable. 1t

holders Of American securities, Will be able to
exhibit to the world samples OF their coupons which
have been returned to them unpaid and oil such Of
under the ban OF "repudiatlons' Your obedient
servant, INVESTOR.
As General Logan is said to favor the Gen.
tennial movement in Philadelphia, and, no
doubt, has great influence with the sanguine
gentlemen who are now controlling it we COM
mend this suggestion to him. He should
organize such department and have
special appropriation in its behalf.
There might be on exhibition a large
supply Of speeches in favor of s'develop-
ing the country and relieving the poor"
And as the eager traveller and student gazes
down the gaudily illuminated roll of bonds
and mortgages and daintily engraved coupons
that have long been unpaid he can see one Of
the results of that breezy but incoherent
craftsmanship which insists upon defiance OF
every law of truth and commercial success to
please false and misguided public opinion in
the South and the West

a painful impression that misfortunes do not
come singly Following SO closely on the loss
of the ilstarred Vile du Havre, belonging to
the same company, this new disaster is,
happily, relieved of at least one gloomy feature
in the reported exemption from loss OF life.

of the clerk of the weather this season, and all
their customers pout over the probabilities
which each morning warn them against

suit of the fckleness of the weather has been
an unwonted delay in the regular exhibition

TIE FAMINE IN INDIA.-In o recent meet
ing of Parliament Lord George Hamilton
gave some interesting statistics about the
famine in India. According to the official
calculation the viceroy Of India is Of the opinion
that there will be about three millions of
persons who will require relief. The Viceroy
proposes also to establish a complete system
of irrigation for the purpose of preventing
similar calamities in the future. 1t would be
interesting to know how much English civil
ization has done to destroy that very system
of irrigation which would have prevented
famine now, as it did in the ancient times
under the dominion of the old Indian mon
archs. The time was when the southern
plains of Spain, notably in Estramadura,
were fertile and prosperous. This was when
the barbarian Moors we're masters of the
country. The results of Spanish rule are the
destruction of the old irrigation canals and the
relapse Of the country into barrenness and
decay. Has England done the same to India?

scholarly editor of an evening contem-

respondents did not apparently approve Mr..

unanimity Of purpose and perverseness of tenn
per they suddenly supplanted him by Mr.
Edward 7. Flynn, who came in the welcome
but surprising attitude of the author OF the

scarcely enjoyed the advantage of his
talents before il was discovered that Mr..

refusal to discharge the obligations incurred in
carrying on the war. Such course would
place the national debt side by side with the
Confederate debt, and to bring about such
result the State of Virginia casts in the United
States Senate two votes, North Carolina casts
two votes South Carolina casts two votes,
Arkansas casts two votes, Georgia casts two
votes, Alabama casts two votes, and Louisiana,
Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida,
Missouri and West Virginia cast each one
vote. Throughout the war the Confederacy
never hurt us so badly-never delivered SO
severe blow. No wonder that Senator Sum-
ner contemplated prospectively with samaze-
ment and anxiety the result these votes
have brought about No wonder that the old
gentleman up at Albany, memorable for his
wish to have the enemies of the country sum-
marly dealt with ''on the spot" Eliminates
an opinion against this act of perfdy. With
the Southern States six Western States cast
both their votes. These are Nebraska, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Indiana, Iowa and Hi
nois This result is, no doubt, due to
the pressure Of speculative schemers whose
projects are in the West and to the general
Ignorance on financial subjects of the men
who cast these votes. Only two votes are
cast from the East--one by Simon Cameron
and one by Senator Sprague, of Rhode
Island. In Washington and in the Senate it
seems to be Justly regarded that this vote has
wrecked the party that had the power to de-
