Who Put Stryeinine In the Becrs
"You don't know much about it, but
do" said Mrs. Hubbard to Mr.. Douglas
when he asked what reason she had for be-
lieving she was poisoned. She was
shrewd woman, possessed not only OF COM
mon sense, but Of superior intelligence and
practical capacity. And she was in her
right mind. Let that fact not be forgotten
1t has been said that she made the accusa-
ton she did III the rawlings of her convul-
sive seizures. and in delirium. Miss Lusks
spoke in that way in her testimony, and
honestly no doubt, because the people gem
orally do not comprehend commissions as
apart from intellectual disturbance but
it is nevertheless absolutely true that
the action of strychnine is on the spinal
cord and not on the brain, and that in all
cases of strychnine poisoning the intellect
is clear. Here, then, was woman
not talking merely at random not
raving, but uttering conviction forced
upon her by sudden and terrible discov-
cry. She saw that her statement that she
had been poisoned was incredible, and she
readily comprehended why it might be,
and therefore she firmly declared that her
conviction Of the truth of this opinion was
based on facts known only to her-facts
not of familiar knowledgo-fac that she
had kept hidden designedly to avoid scam
dial, as she would have kept hidden the
very fact that she was poisoned. Whatever
these facts were they pointed to ''sammy's
friend, the old shoemaker, as the man who
had put the poison in the bottle, and this
person, who had not been about the place
for several weeks, was seen in little road
near the house the night before the tragedy.
His presence there may have been only q
coincidence which he can readily enough
explain, and it seems to us the declaration
made requires that he should be called
upon for his explanation.

pr..n Of the queen Of spain.

Marie-de-las-Mer Queen Of Spain,
died at Madrid yesterday. She was born
in the same city on the Gath Of June, 1860.
AT eighteen therefore, the beautiful bride
Of Alfonso has passed away, and this sud-
den and sad death is almost as if the
caprice of destiny would show how readily
the shadows may fall, where, but few
days SINCE all seemed as hopeful and bright
and splendid as human imagination can
. conceive any picture Queens die often
enough, and the deaths Of beautiful
women in the earliest bloom Of life
are not rare but when death comes to the
steps Of throne, filed as was that Of Spain
but lately, the event is felt by all as un-
usually painful and pathetic. People must
sympathize with a Prince who married the
lady Of his love and now has lost her, and
will not forget q regret for Spain. that evil
IDENTIFY cannot be tranquil without royalty;
and that, in the royalty it has been COM
PEELED to endure, has had SO little to be
proud about or even satisfied with, it may
we'll mourn deeply over the loss of queen
in whom seemed combined all the good
elements Of the feminine charact or
and of happy destiny. Mercedes
will not be held guilty of the
sins Of another generation, and SO far as
touches politics had none Of her own, and
it was possible that if she had lived her
happy history might have led Spaniards
eventually to regard with more leniency
that great scheme Of her grandfather by
which her father was married to the sister
Of Isabella. II was projected in the mar
riage of the Duke OF Montpensier to the
Infanta Donna Louisa that one of the chill
dren Of the Duke Of Montpensier would sit
on the throne of Spain. and the result
came about, though not rs contem-
plated in the scheme. Yet ut last in
Mercedes the grand scheme Of the Spanish
marriage seemed radiantly successful.
That policy of SO many governments and
cause of bitter wars-the prof union
Of the French and Spanish royal iami-
lies--was made reality at length
by the love Of boy king for a
beautiful woman, and the policy for which
Louis Philippe and Guizot went SO far--for
which the throne of Spain was disturbed
and the life hope OF one queen blasted
altogether-had its fruition when Louis
Philippe and Guizot aud Prince Henry were
gone and royalty itself driven from France.
And whom does it benefit at last Not the
house d Orleans, certainly; for, mo son Of
theirs succeeding" the crown at last slips
forever from their hungry grasp. In this
!. 4.
death the suspicious Spaniards will see the
hand Of a destiny that would not endure
the Montpensier victory.

the West must be very bad indeed. The
protection of the country against the SUI
promacy of this order Of ideas in Congress
lies in the hope that before new House
assemblies the actual resumption of specie
payments will have put an end to the worst
features Of the controversy.
The Illinois republicans attempt to revive
the old quarrel between the North and the
South by sounding a note of alarm respect
ing the payment of Southern claims. This
is shallow electioneering device. The
Southern war debt will not be paid nor any
compensation be made for the destruc-
ton Of slave property, because the
amended constitution forbids it. Pensions
to rebel soldiers is an equally foolish bug
bear. Such attempts to galvanize dead
questions are proof Of conscious weakness
ON the part OF the republicans. 1t is signif-
cant that the Ohio democrats proclaim their
belief that the title Of President Hayes can
not be impugned, although they denounce
the means by which he was put in. Office.

SHERMAN ON NATIONAL BANKS.

We are under obligations to Con-
gresham Wren for copy of the
annual report OF the Secretary of the
Treasury on the state of the finances.
Honest John Sherman is enthusiastic ia
his praise of the National banks, to
which he devotes considerable space in
the report. The banks are Sherman
pets. He fosters, cherishes and even
praises them at the expense of the pubic
He says "rhe solvency of the banks, as
now organized, and their benefit to the
people, have been demonstrated during
period of fourteen years He tells
us that no one has lost a dollar by re-
ceiviDg their notes, aud that they have
been less subject to revulsion and fail
Now, it is very kind in Honest John
to laud his pets in this manner, but 1t
would 90 more consistent with bis
duties as Secretary of the Treasury
and an honest officer of the Govern
ment to explain why National Banks
are 80 prosperous and why no one has
lost dollar by receiving their notes
The Government, and in this Instance
particularly the Government means the
taxpayers, is security for the re-
demptlon of every note issued by
National Banks, aud pays the owners
of the banks interest on the bonds,
which it holds as security for the re-
demption of their notes. 1t Is not eur
prising, therefore, as they draw interest
on their securities aud also on their
notes, that they should be less subject to
Revision and failure than other cor.
porations. Did Honest John ever hear
OF any Que losing dollar by receiving
Government notes. which cost not thug
but the expense OF printing them, or
OF any body accepting National Bank
notes III preference to greenbacks?
Does not the greenback answer every
purpose of the bank notes aud as il IS
less expensive to the Government. why
should 1t not be issued In preference
TO the bank notes, ii the Government

affairs. Honest john Is to day otferi,

OF begging for loans at good interest
abolish the National Banks and issue
greenbacks Instead of the bank notes
and thus save interest? This OF cour &
would be Objectionable to the banks,
But 1t would be acceptable to the peo-
pie, who have 10 pay interest on the
untaxed securities. Will Mr.. Wren,
VINO has SO. kindly furnished us, a copy
OF Sherman's encomium on National
Banks. introduce and advocate u bill to
abolish them and issue greenbacks in

would deserve as warm praise from the
