The British Arctic Expedition.

We print to-day another letter from Dr.
Hayes, the Arctic explorer, on the subject of
the recent attempt of the British Arctic Ex-
pedition to reach the North Pole. While Dr.
Hayes disclaims any intention to discredit
the statements of Captain Mares regarding
the ice barriers which defeated the expedition
in its northward voyage, he insists that these
statements are based on unsound conclu-
sions as to the character of these obstruc-
tions. 1t seems to us that Captain Mares,
although in other respects an able and ex-
perienced navigator, is unfamiliar with the
conditions which govern the formation and
the movements of polar ice. 1t is clear chat his
ships have sailed through channels which
were closed to Kane and Hayes by large &C
cumulations of ice, and this fact alone
establishes that one on which DR.. Hayes
bases his arguments-namely, that all the ice
formations in Smith Sound and the cir
cumpolar regions are liable to constant
changes of volume and position. The only
points where permanent ice barriers can be
reasonably assumed to exist in the Arctic
regions are located in the vicinity of the
orally below the latitude reached by the Alert
and Discovery. Tho Pandora met with
one of these at the southern end of Peel's
Straits in September, 1876, and from the ap-
pearance of the ice fields separating these
waters from those Of Franklin Channel,
Captain Young judged that tho ice was
permanent obstruction. The very character
of the ice that was met by Captain Mares
proves that the formation Of its mass was due
not wholly to temperature, but also to the
combined influences of the winds and of the
currents that find an outlet from the polar
basin through Smith Sound. There is q
certain limit to the fall Of temperature even
in the Arctic regions, and it is certain that
if the ice fields could be formed by freezing
eighty feet thick, and that the process was
constant, tho sea would be frozen to tho bot
tom and tho channels entirely choked by
them. We regret with DIR. Hayes that tho
leader Of tho British expedition was SO
easily discouraged and deceived by tenn
porary barrier to his advance, for we feel
certain that if Captain Mares had remained
for another season he would have beer able
20 reach tho North Pole with his vessels.

because the business of the country would
have become adjusted to the specie basis.
If the balance of the public debt had
been refunded at four and a half or
four per cent no change Of administra-
tion could prevent our reaping the full
advantage of the reduction of the
rate of interest If the public credit can be
put in jeopardy by change of administra-
tion it is only because the republican party
has been dilatory in the execution of meas
ures which it processes TO support. If it
gets a new lease of power it must take good
care that the same thing cannot be said of it
four years hence.
If Mr.. Hayes is elected his administration
will not be treated with much indulgence.
accepted for performance. Specie payments
must be resumed on the day fixed by law;
civil service reform must be established in
the first year of the new administration;
the conversion of the public debt must
be completed and put out of the
field of discussion long before another
Presidential canvass shall be opened;
the republican party must be able to
say, with truth and pride, that it has made
it impossible for change of administration
to have any serious effect on the national
credit. 1t ought to have accomplished as
much in the eleven years which have elapsed
since the war; but if it is again intrusted
with power and fifteen years do not suffice.
it will havo forfeited all title to further con-
fidence.

calumnious statement attributed to Mon

French commission, and the promptitude
shown by the French government in de-

convincing proofs that the misrepresen-

they are here. The action of the French

Reaction In Spain.

Tho unhappy Spaniards seem again on the
verge Of civil war. This time the danger
again threatens from the northern prov
inces, which are rendered more hostile than
ever to the Madrid government through the
destruction Of their ancient privileges. The
position of poor little Alfonso is really pitt
able. On the north his throne is assailed
by the Carlists, and everywhere else the re-
publicans are doing their best to render his
reign as short and as uncomfortable as pos
sible The reactionary policy adopted by
his government since the return of the ex-
Queen Isabella has deprived the throne of
all popular support, and it may now be said
to rest on the bayonets of the soldiers-a
very unstable support, as his mother can
tell the youthful King Had monarchy in
Spain shown itself progressive Alfonso
might have secured long lease of power
from people disguised by the blundering
Of the republican party but the reaction
ary policy has reunited all the liberal ele-
ments without conciliating the high con-
servative party which looks to Don Carlos as
its legitimate chief. This unsettled state of
the public mind, even if it does not i'm
mediately plunge Spain once more into
civil war, must render her q mere spectator
of the important events transpiring in the
East, in which she is deeply interested.
This is what she has gained by her reaction
ary policy.

THE INDIAN WAR.-The annihilation of q
village of Shoshores by the Sioux, reported
to-day from Salt Lake City, needs to be con-
firmed. Fit be true, then the Sioux have
massacred many hundreds of our Indian
friends, and "Humpy," who is said to have
escaped, is rs one man picked out of a
thousand The absence Of details and of
any authority induces us to believe that the
story is, even if true in foundation, much
exaggerated. But should the report prove
correct, what a disgrace such a massacre
would be to the government, what conclu-
sion to mismanaged campaign against our
