WAsmNGTON, July 13.-The Secretary OF state
has through the Treasury Department teegmphtd
to the Collector of Customs at Proyncetown, Mass,
requesting him to inquire into the accuracy OF the
renort that another outrage has been committed

OF course the Secretary of State cannot accept
newspaper reports rs a basis of official ac-
ton and certainly cannot on their authority
alone open diplomatic correspondence with the
spanish or any other Government. As the
Fllcn Rlzpah left the port of Key West before the
dispatch Of the Secretary in regard to her ease
reached there, no action can be taken III regard
to the reported Spanish interference with that
vessel until she touches at some port where
formal deposition of the officers of the vessel can be
taken. The same course will have 10 be pursued III

in sense hostile TO Russia, and, pos
sibly, without the knowledge of the Brit

has hardly arrived yet, and Greece looks rather to
England than Russia s. her natural protector, IT may
well be that the strained and uncertain relations be-

particle Of foundation for the assertion that silver

prior to he passage Of the Legal-Tendcr Act
were not materially affected because the org
ipal act made the legal-tender exchanSeable
for six per cent bonds and it Gid not depIe-
ciate very much in value until that provision
was repealed. AS to those who loaned money
PAYABLE in legal-tenders, before that provision
was repealed, but who found that the sum
rayable TO them after that repeal was much
reduced, it is undcniable that they suffered
more than any other class of persons
in consequence OF the Legal-Tcnder Act;

They did not realize, nor did Congress, that

existed before the late November elections ;
that in addition thereto there were other
causes contributing materially to Republican
apathy aud Democratic enthusiasm; ana
that in spite Of them, in the States which had
elections, the Republicans in the general re-
suit, more than held their own. In the year
that intervenes before another election the
Democrats in Congress have another OF those
grand opportunities which they never fall 10
embrace with enthusiasm, to disclose their
weakness and folly and insincerity. 1t is
fact full of encouragement for he
publicans, and one which has been
thoroughly demonstrated number OF
times in the history of the past twenty years,
that the Democratic party Is never so sure Oh
defeat as when it seems most clearly on the
high road TO victory. 1t cannot bear pros
perity or success. Its large majority III the lower
House of the last Congress so turned ITS head
that it barely saved its control by few un-
certain votes IN the present Congress, and OF
even this il cannot be certain on party meas
ures. It's action, thus far, in the special scs-
sion. has had no effect but to weaken it be-
fore the people, and there Is good reason 10
believe that it will continue III the same
course. In short, tie apparent causes for dis
couragemcnt are rather encouraging than
otherwise. The disposition of tho South
orn question has removed one cause OF Of
fence against Republicans, and destroyed 50
much Democratic capital. The Presidents
honest efforts to improve the Civil Service re
move another ground of complaint, and
leaves Democracy bankrupt. And "a for the
Democratic asccndancy IN Congress, we look
upon it as the best thing that could
happen. 1t gives them an opportunity to
disclose their real purpose and character to
the country. Nothing more is needed 10 insure
their defeat Upon the whole, Democrats may
as well postpone discountng their coming sue
cess for a iittle While. Ii l. too much ii doubt
to warrant premature cXultation on tier
part o. unnecessary sadness ON the part OF
Republicans.
