JAY GOULD SPECIAL INFORMATION touching
the decision Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States in the case Of the Union Pa
cihc Railroad turns out to have been purely
mythical. A despatch from Washington this
morning informs us that no decision has
been arrived at, and it is not likely that the
case will be determined for some days. We
can only repeat the advice we gave to the
public yesterday, to avoid the dangerous
stock Just now, and 50 escape becoming the
dupes of persons who are naturally anxious
to sell it,

THE WHIsKEY RING in the West has found
misfortunes to follow fast and follow faster
More Of the indicted members of the Ring
entered pleas of guilty at St Louis yester-
day, and other indictments were found.
Among the latter, it is said, there are some
against Washington officials This is indeed
sad day for rings, and if punishment is
melted out to the guilty as il ought to be there
will be fewer offenders in the future.

THE SPEAKERsHR of the next House Of
Representatives is an absorbing subject all
over the country, and the extracts from the
inland journals which we print this morning
show conclusively that either Wood or Cox
would make an excellent Speaker, that La
mar may be candidate, that Kerr is sure to
be elected, that Randall is the man and that
Walker will be chosen as compromise.
With 80 much certain information our readers
cannot be in doubt as to the result.

CAPTAIN GENERAL VALMAsEDA has often
distinguished himself by his stringent de-
crees. but his latest order has in it tinge Of
humanity that is not found in many Of the
Others. He prohibits persons living in the
nccupied districts from travelling after dark,
lest they be shot by the patrols and pickets.
There is, however, so much danger OF being
shot in the daytime in every part OF the
island that the order seems unnecessary, as
people are generally on the lookout Tor

The LOST PACIFIC. vessel proves to
have been struck amidships by the sailing
ship Orpheus, which was itself afterward
lost, not by injuries received in the collision,
but by mistake in sailing, through the
captain taking one light for another in the
night. The captain Of the Orpheus, his wife
and two seamen have been picked up, and
thus the mystery Of the fatal accident to the
Pacific will now be fully cleared up

1t gave us great pleasure to print yester-
day the letter Of Mr.. Hewitt in explanation
of his late remarkable speech, and still greater
pleasure to notice the moderating effect
of our criticisms on his views. He ac-
knowledges that in his speech he used
the words ''Tammany Hail. and democratic
organization" ''as interchangeable terms =
but he now states that he regards them as
entirely distinct and as having no necessary
connection with each other. We are glad to
find that the sweeping expressions in
his speech did not convey his real
views, and that, in his sober second
thought" Tammany is no necessary part Of
the democratic organization, although he
incautiously used them as interchangeable
terms. Having admitted that he identified
in his speech two things quite distinct in
their nature, we regret that Mr.. Hewitt does
not 60 one step further and advocate
the putting asunder of what need not have
been joined together. ITO infer" he says,
''that regard Tammany Hall or the Tam
many Society as essential to the continu-
ance of free government in this city is a
great misconception of my meaning and
opinion. He tells Us that he has OPP
posed Tammany in the past that
he is ready to oppose it again if he
should think its influence detrimental !;
and that he considers it no necessary part of
the democratic organization, although he en-
ployed them as interchangeable terms-that
is, as meaning one and the same thing his
speech. But ifTammany is a mere excrescence
on the democratic party why should it not
be abandoned Its very name has become
odious since the disgraceful uses made
of the society under Tweed, and there
is no good reason why the demo-
cratic party should continue to bear such a
stigma as has been fastened upon it by Tam
many. Why not let it relapse into its origi-
nal character as benevolent society? Why
not divorce so odious and disgraced a name
from democratic politics? Mr.. Hewitt
confesses that the democratic party
does not need it that the association is
merely accidental and in view of the
infamy which Tammany brought on the
democratic party under its former "Boss"
we think it would be wise for the party TO
cut loose both from the name and the thing.

The accident to the Providence or
Wednesday night reveals danger "a
which the passengers by the Sound boats
ought not to be exposed, as it can bt
easily prevented with proper care. We
mean the very grave danger which may
arise from lack of discipline and self-posses
sion in the crew in cases Of serious accident.
the crew of the Providence showed remark
able lack of discipline when the steamer was
boarded by sea. Walters stove in the win
dows and doors of staterooms, the
chief mate shouted to the already
sufficiently alarmed passengers, PUT
on your life preservers r and some
of the crew cried out, "Hurry on deck
the ship is sinkingw Such conduct is mex
cusable, and argues lack Of discipline and
of control by the officers which might lead
to panic and the gravest results in needless
loss of life. The Sound steamers have been
very fortunate +; they have carried a great
number OF passengers safely but it will not
do for their officers and the managers Of the
lines to neglect proper preparations for a
time of disaster. Without thorough disci.
pline even a slight accident may be the
cause of great loss of life. The crews OF
these steamers, including the stewards and
walters ought to be drilled in their duties in
time of shipwreck, so that when the emer-
gency occurs they may be useful, instead of
helping to create panic.

CROOKED WHIsKEY. The Commissioner
of Internal Revenue believes that he can,
if Congress will give him few amend
ments of the Excise law collect the
present high excise duty on whiskey.
Also he reports that evidence in his
possession shows frauds on the revenue
during the year, by distillers and rectiiers,
which deprived the government of taxes to
the amount of one million six hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. This" he adds,
sis of course, but q portion of the fraud
committed and we must suppose that in
the case of detected frauds the government
gains in penalties and forfeitures from the
offenders and their bondsmen sum at
least equal to what it has lost by their fraud.
1t would do So at least, if the cheating dis
tillers are not able to follow their nefarious
practices for considerable time undetected.
The Commissioner recommends the rigorous
prosecution of the bondsmen of storekeepers
and gaugers who have been detected in con-
niving at wrongs upon the revenue, and he
asks Congress to make the penalties on recti-
fiers as severe as upon distillers

lowing so closely upon that Of the Tammany
Ring, the Canal Ring and the whiskey

will receive vigorous treatment.

Almost as much interest is felt in the nys-
terious speech of Mayor Wickham as in the
election speech Of General Grant. All the
Custom House politicians are wondering
whether the President meant the third term
or not All the Tammany and anti-Tam-
many statesmen and the descendants Of Irish
kings are wondering if Mayor Wickham
means to fight Tammany. There are rumors
mat the Mayor will take new departure
ana war upon John Kelly. war be-
tween the Mayor and the deposed
chief OF Tammany would be a Chinese
contest, we are afraid, with more noise than
combat. Wickham's strong qualities are not
combative and Kelly must recover from his
encounter with Morrissey before he throws
his castor over the ropes and challenges
new antagonist We can hardly think it
credible that Wickham would think of MAX
ing war upon a man who, whatever his errors
in the management of the party IN New
York, has always been his friend, and who
really made him the Mayor. This would be to
repeat the fable of the living ass and the dead
lion. Mr.. Wickham. as we understand from
some of his friends, complains that he was
made the scapegoat during the canvass and
made to bear the burden of all the sins
against the laborers that he was thrown
over and Missed in Tammany Hall. Well, it
is due to Mr.. Kelly, or to the captain of any
political ship, to say that when the time
comes to throw over any of the cargo or any
of the passengers he knows how to select
If he honored Mr.. Wickham with this
extreme and unavoidable courtesy he
certainly knew his man, and who
could be spared. About the last thing
a floating passenger should think of
claim to command. His business is to swim
and to attract the attention Of some other
craft. If Wickham can swim long enough to
attract the observation or excite the sympathy
of some Of the other cruisers-of OBrien or
Shafer or Roosevelt, or even Of Tomlinson,
with his three rag money patriots, whom he
takes around in boat-let him do SO. That
is his chance, and he should not waste bis
strength on anything else Let him swim.
He might have known before he was
thrown over and he will know, if he ever
finds himself on a political deck again,
that leadership requires capacity. A man
does not always lead because he finds him
self suddenly on the top of heap. These
accidental leaders every now and then APP
pear but they represent nothing They are
like the boy who sits on the box with the
omnibus driver. The boy may be allowed to
play with the'reins going over meadow lands.
The rough places require nerve and skill.
Mr.. Wickham will never be anything more
than the boy on the box. He is not like the
real leaders Of the party in the past, like
Fernando Wood or Peter B. Sweeny His
speech, therefore, means nothing. Whether
he sits on the box or not the stage will drive
on.
