The Anne1ing powers.

The two powers Russia aud Great
Britain, which already rule one-hali OF
the carths surface, are the only great
powers of the world which still patiently
and successfully carry on their attempts
to increase the extent of their domuiOns.
within the last two years the British dow
ernmcnt has enlarged its possessions on
the west coast of Africa by securing the
territory which, having been cedcd by
Holland. was disputed by KoFfEE Kali
KALI, the King of Ashantcc; and IL has
also during the present year increased its
Australasian possessions 10y anncXing the
Feejee Islands, which, though inhabited
by saVages, ara fertile, valuable, and beau
tiful, aud well fitted TO support Il large
population of colonsts. In the Fast Indies
the same Government is steadily extend
ing IFS power, which has grown into such
vast proportions by successive Conquests
during the past century; and we may be
sure that the present troubles with Bur
nah, by whatever means settled, will re-
suit either in annexation or in an enlarge
ment Of British authority leading toward
II. There is no limit or pause TO English
territorial ambition; and there are British
newspapers which. since the diplomatic
misunderstanding with the Picking Gov
eminent, have been talking about the per-
manent extension of Queen VIcroRIA's
power over the Chinese Empire.
The Russian Government, in like man
ncr still continues its career of annexa-
ton. The public is familiar with the con-
quest ana seizure of Khiva, in Central
Asia, couple OF years ago, ana II is not
going too far 10 say that the recent opera
tons in the adjacent Khanate Of Khokaud
have put the whole of Turkcstan under
Russian power. The acquisition during
the present year OF the great island of
saghaien is OF exceeding importance to
Russian interests. This island was an
ancient dependency of Japan, which
stretches southwardly from it; but for a
| quarter Of a century Russia has been
| actively engaged III trying to secure pos
session OF II. AT last, after long-continued
negotiations aud cautious movements,
which sometimes iinperilled the peace OF
the parties directly interested, and which
were closely watched 10y England, it was
fully aud finally ceded by the Mikado TO
| the Car n few months ago. The ownership
Oft by Russia adds greatly to her maritime
strength. II gives her not only desirable
outlet to the ocean on her eastern side but
ilIst-olGss port and naval station on the
Pacific, from which she will be able to
operate against the commerce or territory
of any enemy from the North Pacific to
the Indian Ocean, from British Columbia
to Hong Kong, Australia, Bombay, and
South Africa. British diplomacy has not
| shown itself able TO thwnlt Russian diplo-
macy III this important piece OF business.

The truth is tn 1t the city and county
property is permanently necessary to the
weil-being OF the community, and cannot
be parted with except III case OF actual
bankruptcy. The value of all the other
property in the city is largely aud esseu-
italy dependent upon the continued use
Of these things tor public purposes To
take them into consideration rs a merchant
would his bills receivable, is absurd. BY
doing So however, Mr.. RoPEs makes out "A
fictitious balance of fourteen millions in
favor Of the city. instead of the real bal
ancc Of more than nineteen millions
against it, after every available asset has
been realized. This city aud county prop
erty Is in no sense truly AN asset, for its
value would be so greatly lessencd in the
effort to turn IL into money as TO render II
practically unavailable for the payment Of
the debt, even if there were any DISPOSE
ton to apply II FOR that purpose. There is
no more probability that such an effort
win ever be made than there il that Mr.
liOrEs does not know his statement to he
in effect gross deception. Too many
citizens of Brooklyn, CHANGING hastily ut
its conclusions only, will see the words,
Assets above liabilities, Sll,9l9, 76O.2!;"
and feeling that Mr.. RoPEs is an honest
man, will conclude that the current asser-
lions rs to the enormity of the public debt
are false; that the city can pay il ali and
have II handsome surplus left, and that the
Ring government oannot he so very obiec-
tionabe after all.
But they will deceive themselves. What
Mr.. Ropes really shows is that, so far rs
nineteen millions of the debt is concerned,
Brooklyn is ut present hopclessly unable
to pay IT, unless the public property Is put
in the market to raise the money. He also
shows that the people are now paying in
terest not only on this net Indictment, but
and upward, which they must continue to
pay until the amount is reduced by the
collection of unpaid taxes and assessments,
and by moneys from the various sources
which he mentions exclusive OF the prop
erty of the city and county. That the
statement was put forth not to elucidatc
these truths, but with an entirely different
purpose, Is a cause for regret. Its author
has until now deserved well OF the COM
muntty, and once there would have been
no one more alert than he in denounciug
the attempt to mislcad the public by such

In the month of August the Spanish
Treasury, in pressing want Of money with which
to pay the troops operating against Don CARLOS,
had recourse as usual TO the colony Of Cuba.
VALMAsEDA was instructed To remit without
delay two millions of dollars to the home Gov
eminent lie replied that the thing could not
be done unless endorsements To the number
OF at least twenty-five thousand men were
promised to be cent Immediately. LOPEZ

swered "Ten thousand shall be sent in Sep
tember, and twelve thousand more IN October.
send the money" On the strength Of this Off
cial lie the desired sum was sent from Havana
to Madrid.
Spain has kept her promise ~ well as she gem
orally does. In all the past month Of September
only four hundred recruits for the Spanish army
In CHba landed there. These were Carist prs
oners they were guarded on shpboard ON the
passage by two hundred Spanish regulars, and
on landing-this we have from trustworthy
-witness-thev were MAJ ched to the barracks
between two files OF regulars with DayOnets
liked. The escort which guarded them on the
voyage from Spain returned by the same steamer
which took them out.
Independent Of this enormous reinforcement
to SPANS waning cause in her colony, we notice
by the statistics published In the DidrlO dC Ia
Marina that III soldiers returned to spain ON
Sept. I, and 2s Sept. IS, besides 25 sailors, SO
that the actual total surplus Of arrivals of light
ing mon from the peninsula over departures,
in lieu Of the ten Thousand promised, was ex-
aotly ten men.
The Madrid Government reminds Ms Of the
Chinese method Of waging war, which is said TO
consist OF reports terrifying at distance before
arriving at close quarters.
The return Of the escort OF the four hundred
Carlists to Spain proves the unpopularity of.the
Cuban war In tho peninsula; and we learn
that active operations against the Carlists have
been suspended pending the arrival Of s0OCO
fresh troops from Madrid 1t is possible that the
next batch of prisoners sent to nsht in Cuba
may be Alfonsists and not Carlists.

on his present weatcrn tour, GRANT was
deadheaded ovorthe railroads from Long Branch
to Colorado, and of course he was provid ed
with deadhead tickets to carry him back from
Colorado to Washington. But TT is not to DC sup
posed that his journey was costless, though II
cost him nothing. The popularity of deadhead-
ins is that the deadheadcr is deadhoaded at the
expense Of somebody else. The honest travel

Tie Revival of the Ring suits.

The courts in this city Teopened for gen
oral business after the summer vacation
on the first Monday of October; and
already the Ring suits have been brought
prominently into notice by the two de-
cisions of the General Term in the TWEED
case. In order that our readers may UNI
dcrstand the present condition of this
case, we print to-day chronological
statement of the events in the litigation
involving the siX millions Of dollars which
II IL sought to recover from the Ring.
This shows that the existing suit against
TWEED j. simply a renewal Of that which
the Court Of Appeuls declared oould not
be maintained. 1t is renewed by virtue of
q statute enacted after the decision, pro-
Niding that the STATE might bring precisely
such an action As was previously pro-
nounced invalid by our highest court, on
the ground that the county of New York
and not the state was the proper party
plaintiff.
This legislation, us applet in the pend
ing suits, assumes to invest the people OF
the state with rights against certain per-
sons in reference to past transactions which
the people did not possess at the time of
