MILITARY INTEGRITY.-The Cincin.
natl Commercial undertakes to show
that the fall of Belknap teaches that
we can no longer believe in the integ
rity of army officers as civil rulers.
The Commercial certainly has a great
array Of facts on lis side, but It's con-
clusions are too sweeping. Belknap
did not belong TO the regular army
and be had no strictly military train.
ing. lie was only a brave volunteer
fighter. 1t is true that many other
soldierly i" good fellows have fallen
in politics but for every soldier who
has given way 10 temptation there
have been several COlfaxes, Ameses,
Delanos, Sweenys, Shepherds, and
Pendletons who have used their politi.
cal influence 10 ac9lire money. Gen
eral Sherman Is pure man whom no
ring could corrupt. Several of the
foremost officers of the war have been
proved inyulnerable 10 temptation.
There Is just as much evidence in ia.
yor Of the army officer as civil ruler
as there was before the fall Of Belk-
nap. The truth is that the merely
military man is no; by nature a good
civil officer. The theory of corrupt
bility, however, applies TO both th,
military and The civil classes. A
weak man will fall wheiheT he wear,
shoulder straps or speaks from tht
Gsucus.

d EsPArCHE PROM EUROPE tell fear
ful :aIe of storm and desolation all
over that continent. From Havre to the
east ern limits of Slavonia, Europe has
been ecourged by series Of furious
TEN pests, accompanied by such tor
rents of rain that the great rivers are
swollen, and many viIleges have been
swept out of existence. Ruin and
and death have left their dreadful
marks on populous districts. The
storm in the west of Europe was
markedly cyclonic in character. The
centre was evidently on the north
eastern frontier of France, because the
wind in the central portions of that
country was northerly, while in Bel.
gium it blew from the southwark. In
Germany telegraph lines were torn
down and railroad tracks torn up,
showing wind force but rarely e1Pe.
rienced in such high latitudes. Along
the coasts, the wind moving centripe-
tally with such an immense velocity
left very little chsnce for ships involv-
ed in the aerial vortex, especially IN
the northern seas. Consequently many
have been lost, with all their crews.
Such a period Of wide spread storm
in Europe has not been known with
in the memory of living men. Our
centennial year will awaken melan-
choly memories in the survivors of
these terrible catastrophes.

The RoGUE.-If it be true, as said
by Hudibras, that " No rogue'er felt
the halter draw with good opinion Of
the law" is equally true that very
large majority of the persons conyiG,

have been the convincing nature OF

and insist upon their innocence to the
last moment of life. The circumstan.
ces under which Joyce, of st. Louis,
was convicted of completely with the
whiskey ring were such as to leave
no doubt of his guilt {; yet Joyce as
sumes to consider himself a much in
iured man, and claims that he will
have it in his power some day to vim
dicate his reputation. An acquain,
tance who visited him in the peni;en

SAMoA.-It might be well to inquire
before We make up our minds on the
Samoan question by what right the
captain of British ship took possess
ion of Steinberger's navy. 1t is said
that the reason was that Steinberger
carried The American flag. We'll, sup
pose he did, is it the business of a
British officer to say whether be had
or had not the right to carry this
flag? Certainly America can protect
her own dignity. We remember there
was the same activity shown by a
British officer at Samana Bay when
the American company was assem-
bling in ST. Domingo. We do not
believe in Samoa, nor did we believe
in Samana; but the enterprise was
American in each case, and was en-
titled TO AmercAn protection. Sup
pose some tligh'y, restless English
man, like Steinberger, had fastened
upon Samoa or some Pacific island
and all American naval officer Lad
turned him out, would Eng gishmen
exauI: over il? We think no:. Stein.
berger may be good many things
that are absurd and narrow, and We
may wish his island was at the bot
tom of the sea, but be is an American.
1t is not pleasant to see British officers
hauling down American flags and
kicking American citizens about as
though they were. Hotteutots or kings
of Delhi. The President should look
into this business aud see what it
means.-N. Y. Herald.

of gold dust which eEeircled MS waist

OFFICIAL CoRRUPTIoN.-Captain-
General Joyellar, of Cuba, has as
hard battle to fight with members
of the "Casino Espanol "a sort of
Union League Club"-and other
corrupt officials, as has Secretary
Bristow with his transgressing revenue
officers and illicit whiskey distillers.
He has just issued stringent decree,
prescribing severe penalties for all
frauds perpetrated against the treasu,
ry; receiving bribes, such as Belknap
and other American officials have, TO
be considered treason, and those gull
ty of it to be tried by court martial.
If the plan succeed, our Government
should adopt similar c0uIse.

New HAMPSHIRE EIECTIoN.-The result
Of the vote in New Hampshire was anxiously
awaited by the country, simply because it
desired and expected to see in it the effect Of
the Belknap exposures upon politics. In
other respects the election was important be-
cause the legislature created by the vote is to
choose a successor TO A. ii. Cragin in the
United States Senate. But such cJnsidera-
tions always fails TO interest the people in
periods of excitement as much as immediate
results. Mr.. Belknap was supposed to be on
trial in New Hampshire, aud the adminis;ra-
tiou was brought in as his accomplice. Well,
upon that issue both Mr. Belknap and the
administration have been acquitted. From
the vote i: would seem the republicans of
New Hampshire prefer party 10 honest gov
erument, and that they STAND by raGica!isin
with all it's rsscahty.

WIFE WHIPPING in California is punished
BY twenty l.shes on the bare back. Former
ly the law imposed imprisonment, and then
the offense was OF frequent occurrence. Since
the amendment imposing the last penalty, not
a single case of wife whipping has come be-
fore the courts. Thus efficient elsewhere,
it is altogether likely that it would work

vile special says: yesterday after
noon General Labarra gave the mer-

him at his Office. When they met,
he said that the object of the meeting
was to raise s30O,oOO to pay his troops
and place the city in state of de-
Tense. He offered premium of 80
per cent. in custom house bonds, say
ing it was n friendly offer, only if not
accepted, he would raise the money
by force, and not scruple as to the use
of severe means. He said that he
had the interests of his government
in his hands and would save them
Mt all hazards. The merchants pres
ent were then called on to subscribe
to the loan. One said he was unable.
TO sui scribe. He was Immediately
imprisoned. The sum raised fniis
$57 900 short of what Is needed now,
and General LebaTra says he will ca III

American merchants have sub
scribed to the loan, but in tview OF
the ulterior measures on the part OF
General Leharra, they have applied
to United States Consul Wilson for
protection. General DelsO is near
Matamoras, with more than 1000
