THE FALL of Third Auditor Rutherford
and Second Controller Brodheai is very
melancholy matter, and, although it is
called "new victory for Mr.. Bristow," is of
the kind in which that gentleman can take
little personal satisfaction. Rutherford and
BrOdhead belong TO the best class OF oar
civil service That is, they had been long in
office, the difficulty of transmitting their
skill readily to successors placed them above
the ordinary accidents of political change
and at the same time gave them, as to their
whole class, a genuine esprit dbt corps, which
elevated them above temptations of vulgar
cOlruptiOnSiStS. Yet these men allowed
themselves to be run over and bullied by
Congressman RhOderick Butler and his ac-
conn Ices SO that the fraudulent claims OF
Sugg Fort and WitkOwski, amounting TO-
eether 10 about SO coo, received their officiaI
il dorsements and were paid within the same
twenty-four hours. 1t was lapge of official
vigilance, for which an investigating con
mission has now severely CONDEMNED these
officers. Four other subOrdinates, for more
venal considerations, perhaps We're in the
conspiracy. The designations Of all are
offered, it is believed, though it is said that
the President will not require Mr.. BrOi-
heads, in view of his 20 years of age and 40
years OF public service. Hamilton's ingeni-
Gus system of checks against fraud in the
treasury payments still works well within
the limitations which mark out its prov
i &c, but no ''claim" out of the ordinary run
of the appropriations should be passed npon,
except in open Springfield Republican,.

LONDON, Jan. 3.-The Manchester Guar

United States: 81 have been furnished with
what purports TO be the substance of Amer
ica's Cuban note. i believe IL is correct,
though do not pretend to give the exact
language. IL recites that the general inter-
ests OF humanity and commerce de mand the
cessation of the struggle which has been
waged i'm Cuba for seven years. The United
States are great sufferers, but are unwilling
TO act without the concurrence of other
powers, including Spain. The continuation
OF the attempt to govern Cuba from Madrid
will be fatal TO hopes OF restoration of peace.
Nevertheless, Cuba belongs to Spain aud
great share Of the population is opposed TO
separation. In these circumstances
THE SOLUTION OF THE QUESTION
might be found in establishing a confedera-
ton in the West Indies resembling the
Rico, which might be CONSTITUTED a con-
federation, with local Independent rights
