NO WAR WITH SPAIN.

Latest advices from Caleb Cush
ing, our minister to Spain, goes far
in dispelling the spark of war which
the belligerent press had sought to
fan into a flame. official dispatches
between the two Governments were
exchanged yesterday, and it Is said,
the result will set everything again
in an amicable light. The American
people, flushed by the prestige of
the past, and the demonstrated
ability to control themselves against
a disruption of Government, have
been infused with warlike blood,
and, with present and coming great,
ness as nation are fast growing ar
rogant and touchy. In other words
two thirds of Americans are just
"spoiling for a fight" and did a
foreign power give the slightest
provocation for war, that two-thirds,
would pat Uncle Sam on the back
and say ago in old man" while the
other third would be found at the
shoulders of their comrades when
the row came to blows. Personally
we are as much disposed to peace as
a Philadelphia Quaker, but if there
is any fighting to be done will lay
down our pencil in just two minutes
and go-into the quartermaster's
department.

SEEKING REVENGE.

Already the outlaw band who
once answered to the call OF ''foots
and saddles" given by Vasquez and
his lieutenant, are on the trail of re-
venge for the lives of their leaders.
A dispatch announces their attack
upon the ranch where Chavez met
his fate and their defeat by the
rancheros. One of the latter was
wounded, and it was supposed that
some of the bandits were hit. 4
party who started in pursuit on
Tuesday night, have not yet been
heard from. If this Greaser Ban
ditta are to keep the remote dis
tricts of Southern California in a
state of siege, in defiance of the
officers of the law, it would be we'll
for the State authorities to disband
as incompetent, and appeal to the
General Government for aid. 1t is
to be regretted that score Of the
brave fellows who placed the
quietus upon Henry Plummer and
his gang OF outlaws, could not be
placed in the field against the out
laws of Southern California.

THE PACIFIC DISASTER.

The examination into the Pacific
disaster is still in progress at San
Francisco. The evidence SO far
taken goes to show the truth of
Jelley's statement. The testimony
is yet kept closed from the press
and public, but when concluded
will be given without reserve.
Jelly's testimony before the Water
man inquiry is to the effect that the
time was very brief, and as he
freshens his recollection he arrives
at the conclusion that the length of
time she foated was much shorter
than he reported to the Victoria
and Puget Sound paper and to the
coroner's jury at Victoria. The
testimony of Gilbert, one of the
sailors of the Orpheus, is not par
ticularly important, but it bears on
the case. In ten or twelve days
other witnesses will arrive.

BARSTOW VS.. BABCOCK.

Bristow is altogether TOO energetic
in his investigations and unearthing
of the crooked whisky rings" So
says the parties engaged in defraud-
ing the. Government. He has alerady
recovered over two millions Of dol
lars in fines and forfeitures, and
much larger amount is expected
through the prosecutions pending.
1t appears from the kilograms that
the Presidents private secretary,
General A. E. Babcock, will be founi
to be deeply implicated in these
frauds, Notwithstanding his protests
to the contrary. On the 30th he tele-
graphed from Washington to the
United States Attorney at St. Louis
as follows:
l am absolutely innocent, and
every telegram which l sent will APP
pear perfectly innocent the moment
can be heard. | demand a hearing
before the Court, where | can testify.
(Signed), A. E. BABcocK.
But on the same date in the Avery
case the following damaging testi-
mony was introduced, with other dis
patches of similar character:
WASHINGTON Dec. 8, 1874.
To Colonel John A. Joyce, St.
Louis: Cannot hear that any one has
gone or is going. (Signed),
BABcoCK.
Joyce and Mcdonald are the head
men in the ST. Louis whisky ring,
and it is asserted, if not proven, that
Babcock warned them whenever any
detectives departed from Washing
ton, in their official duty, towards
that quarter, thus enabling them for
long time to defraud the Govern
ment and escape detection. The
following telegraphic communication
will give an idea of the uncomfort-
able position General Babcock is
likely to occupy:
CHICAGO, November so.
Yesterdays developments in the
trial of Avery at st. Louis were of a
character tending to confirm the
original statement that the Grand
Jury had seriously considered the
propriety of returning an indictment
against General Babcock as an ac
cessory to the whisky ring con-
spiracy. Testimony was yesterday
introduced verifying Babcock's hand
writing in certain kilograms for
warded from Washington to Joyce,
and giving Information as to the con-
templated raids on the st. Louis ring.
1t was shown with certainty that-if
no error has been made as to the
handwriting-Joyce, Mcdonald and
Babcock were in secret consultation,
and that numerous confidential tele
grams were passed between st. Louis
and Washington.
As he is the confidential and rri
vate secretary of President Grant,
some may naturally Think that the
Hon. ''Reticent" may have some con-
nection with this infamous business.
But nothing has so far been devei-
oped that in any manner compli-
Gates him. But 50 many high Off
Gals being in the ring. leads one to
think there must be something rot
ten in Denmark"

SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU.

A few days ago small dispatch
flashed across the wires, the import
of which was that the Signal Service
Corps predicted a severe wind-storm,
and now the dispatches prove the
correctness of their prediction. On
the goth the signal officer on Mount
Washington reported the velocity Of
the wind to be at the rate of 156
miles per hour-the highest rate of
speed recorded at that station since
its erection-the temperature at the
time being "a degrees below zero.
In Detroit. Mich, and also in Boston
and ali along the New England
Coast, at the same date, terrific
wind storm prevailed, accompanied
by the most severe cold. The storm
was SO great on Lake Huron that
considerable anxiety was entertained
for the safety of the vessels exposed
to it. The signal service mas been 50
correct in its calculations that all
sensible sea captains will not leave
port, though the wind be fair and
the sea unruffled by approaching
storm, if a dispatch from any of the
observatories caution them otherwise.
This remarkable step in science is
attracting the attention of all who
have watched the precision with
which every great storm is predicted,
and to enter into a detailed descrip-
ton of the establishment of the Sig
nal Service and the object sought,
would be to tell the enlightened
reader what he already knows, and
the unenlightened would probably
not understand 1t; but their service
has been almost ulcalculable, md in
few years their reports will be
watched and their advice followed by
all. Prof. Tice foretold almost the
hour of the last disastrous Southern
inundation. 1t seems strange that,
considering the number of years de-
voted by the learned to the study Of
astronomy; of the lives spent i'll en-
deavoring to translate the language
of the cold, clear stars, to trace the
course of the heavenly bodies, their
size, their formation, and their effect
upon our sphere, that III all these
years of research the greatest secret
of the heavens should be overlooked.
The signal officer at his post now
views in each cloud that decks the
horizon or darkeEs the sky, a leaf
from the future, written in the here
tofore unknown language Of the ele-
ments, and from its mysterious hero
glyphics he interprets its mission of
veal or woe, and, with the voice of a
prophet, warns the seamen to furl his
sails and cast his anchor in some
friendly port, or bids the farmer and
the rancher to gather his grain and
secure his stock, for the heavens that
he looked to in prayer, is full OF
danger. He measures the speed OF
the wind, tells its course and what
agencies influence it, what powers
will contribute to or lessen its
danger, what sections it will pass,
and on what spot and day its fury
will be spent. Each page that is
turned in the book of scientific re-
search more firmly establishes in our
mind the force and truth of Hamlet's
speech to his friend: "There are
more things in heaven and earth,
Horatio, than are dreamt of in your
philosophy"

EDITORIAL NOTES.

There appears 90 be some Infer
ence of opinisn regarding tbs widen
ing of the streets in Virginia, after
all the meetings held for that pur-
pose. 1t appeared to be a settled
thing, the citizens generally believing
that the appearance of the city, the
convenience and the greater security
against large fires, guaranteed the
estimated outlay. But at the last
neeting of the Board of Aldermen,
fhey reconsidered their resolution to
condemn the property. This was
done on statement of Mayor Currie,
to the effect that if twelve feet of
ground on B and G streets, along
Union, would cost the city $4,000,
to finish the widening as proposed
would cost the taxpayers in the
of 100000. We are
hardly prepared to give a decided
opinion in the matter; but if enlarg-
ing the streete will serve to prevent
another 100000 confayration,
500, 900 seems small thing to hest
tate over.

tate over.

The case of ex parte A. B. Spin
ney, on habeas corpus before the Su-
preme Court, seems to have caused a
little difference of opinion between
the learned Judges. This was test
case, aud the object sought was to
obtain the opinion Of the higher
Court on the constitutionalitv of the
law passed by the last Legislature,
and known as the "Anti-Quackery
Law" which provides that phys
ician, to practice medicine in this
State, must either have diploma, or
have practiced for period of ten
years preceding the passage of the
Act. Judge Beatty is of the opinion
that the law IS unconstitutional, but
thinks by emitting the words "next
preceding the passage of this Act,"
it will become so. Judge Hawley
holds that in all particulars the law
is constitutional as it reads.
