THE GREEK ERIGANDS.

Some three weeks ago brief cable
dispatch announced that Col. Synge Of
the British army, together with his wife,
had been captured by Greek brigands
near Salonica and Was held for a heavy
ransom. No details Of the capture were
given. A few days ago London paper
printed a despatch from Constantinople
saying that the brigauds had sent a letter
demanding S75, 900 ransom for their cap
tives, and threatening that if this amour
was not given them within ten days they
would send Col. Synge's head to Saloni
ca. Three days later news was sent to
London that the British consul at Salc-
MICA had received a letter from Colonel
Synge saying that he and his wife were
kindly treated and that the brigand chief
was absent, necessitatiug the interrup-
ton of negotiations for their release.
Greece has not unreasonably been
styled the cradle of brigandage. From
time immemorial that land has witnessed
some Of the boldest captures in the his
tory of outlawry. From time to time
the civilized world is startled by The in
telligence that some traveller has been
seized by band of Greek brigands and
murdered if the ransom demanded for
his life has not been promptly paid. It
is natural that great anxiety should be
felt in regard to Col. Synge and his wife,
particularly by all persons who are ac-
quainted with the history of Gl eek brig
andage.
Greek brigands mostly live in small
bands in the Businesses of the numerous
mountains by which the country is brok-
en-. In daytime they hardly stir from
their hiding places, which are grottoes
and rocky places. When night comes
they move to a spot far away-so distant
that the police would never think of be-
ing on the lookout for 'thom-and COM
nit their depredations. As an illustra-
ton of the rapidity with which thev
move, the band of the Arvantakis broth.
ers, coming from Turkey, had passed the
Greek frontier i'll the vicinity of Lamin
on Jan. IS, 1870. The minister of the
interior, Mr.. Laimis, being informed By
telegraph of the fact, Immediately gave
! orders calculated to lead to the arrest of
/ the band, or at all events to drive them
beyond the frontier. But nothing could
check their advance. Such was the rap
| idity OF their movements that the Greek
military and police force despatched
against them did not catch sight of them,
although their presence in the vicinity
was daily signalled to them by the Off.
GERS Of the government. On one occa.
! sion, however, the brigands were sur.
! prised, and a conflict ensued in which
they lost seTen men. Three of the brig
ands were taken prisoners and carried to
Athens. where they were summarily sen
fenced and put to death. The others Of
the band, only nine in number, succeed
Cd in reaching the mountains that sepa
rated Attica and Bo,otia from the prov
ince of Maegarides, whence for severa
years they plundered the country, mur
deripg some hundred people, and always
battling the most active researches Of th,

A CONVENIENT METHOD.

Six of Brigham Youngs daughters have
been cut off from the Church for having
had the temerity to resist the absorption
of their paternal estate by the hierarchical
''ring" that controls the affairs of the
Saints. This is convenient method of
disposing of troublesome persons, and we
suppose that it is looked upon by orthodox
Mormons as a complete and final refuta-
ton of the claims of the ladies. Outside
of the Church some suspicion of irrele-
vancy is apt to arise in regard to the pro-
ceeding, the exact connection between the
ceremony of cutting off, and the injustice
of the claims of Brigham Young's daugh-
tiers, being rather difficult for the Gentle
intelligence to trace. The Church no doubt
knows what it is about, however. 1t in
tends to keep the estate of Brigham
Young. And perhaps the utmost conso-
lation that can be offered to the excluded
ladies consists in the reflection that if they
had made such demand few years ago,
the Danites would probably have attended
to their case, and they would have been
I" cut off " in far more practical and final
way than the Church at present thinks it
safe to follow.

UNPLEASANT ADVICE.

The Leuaat Herald has been suspended
by the Turkish Government for intimating
that the aforesaid Government had better
begin reforming before the English Cabi-
net recognized the necessity Of enforcing
the "bag and baggage" policy. No doubt
this frank recommendation was the more
distasteful to the Porte from the fact that
it embodies very pregnant truth. The
utter Generalization of the Turkish Gov
eminent is becoming SO apparent that the
necessity of active intervention on the
part of the Western Powers can hardly be
postponed much longer. 1t is, however,
hopeless to talk of reform, for there is no
basis for it. The Ottoman Empire has
reached its end, and the sooner the impos-
sibility of propping it any longer is real.
lied, the sooner will its component ele.
ments be enabled to do something for Their
independent advancement.

JAPAN.

Arrival of the Steamer Gaelic at San
Francisco
By the arrival of the steamer Gaelic at
San Francisco we are in receipt of papers
from Yokohama to April 10th. The fol-
lowing items are from the Japan Gazette.
A subject which has called forth much
attention here is the state of the paper
currency of the country. The value OF
this, as against silver, has lately expe-
rienced rapid and ever increasing fall,
until it reached nearly 81 per cent. dis
count. The distrust of the paper money
has begun to spread among the Japanese
of the interior, and the native papers re-
port that in some places the farmers and
others refuse to accept it. Meanwhile the
Government is supine or apparently help
less, the only step they have taken being
the closing of the so-called Bourse'
Foreign trade is suspended, not conse-
quent upon the want of money, but from
the impossibility of reducing paper to such
medium as can alone be accepted by for
eign merchants. This trade depression,
though serious, is not likely to be pro-
longed. Foreign commerce is measured
by the market demand for Japanese ex-
ports, and when tea and silk come down in
quantity, large lots of purchased imports
will be taken delivery of. The ultimate
effect will be beneficial. The purchase of
produce by Government with currency for
realization abroad for specie, not one cent
of which is returned to Japan, will come to
an end, for producers will no longer dis
pose of their commodities for credit-that
Is, for satsu. This will be death blow to
official monopolists, whose operations re-
act so injuriously upon the country at
large.
1t is said that another steamship CON-
pany is about to be started. As the Gov
eminent is to provide the first ships, and
make advances for others, the new under
taking can only be regarded as branch to
cooperate, not to compete, with the Mitsu
Bishi Company.
The agitation for treaty revision seems
to have subsidized. Nothing is now heard OF
the progress of negotiations, and public in
terest in the matter has ceased
The relations between China and Japan,
supposed at one time to have been much
strained, are still very unsettled; but the
affair China has made for herself with
Russia is sufficient to relieve Japan of any
present anxiety respecting the movements
of her ponderous neighbor.
The often postponed journey of the Mi
kado through some of the provinces will,
it is now stated, take place next month.

ANOTHER CIVIL RIGHTS CASE.

A colored man named Bassey, in Hart
ford, Connecticut, applied for position on
the police force, but though he was recon-
mended by many prominent citizens, the
Board refused to appoint him. Here is an
other case to which the new doctrine of
the United States Supreme Court applies,
and it is in fact intimated that Bassey in
tends to seek redress under the Fourteenth
Amendment 1t will no doubt be alleged
that there is no evidence of race prejudice
IN the decision of the Board, and that they
may be supposed to have had objections to
the applicant which had no connection
with the color of his skin. 1t will be urged
that though the Amendment makes COL
ored man eligible for Office, it cannot make
him competent for Office. Probably it will
be asserted that all the Amendment aimed
at was the securing of absolute equality be-
fore the law. Admitting the force of this
reasoning, however, the factremains that the
arguments which determined the Supreme
Court in the case of Rives, j., of Vir-
ginia, justify the interference of the
Federal Government in the Connecticut
case also and that if Judge Rives was
imprisoned equitably because he did not
put any colored men on juries, the Hart
ford Board must be much more culpable
for having refused to appoint Mr.. Bassey.
For be it observed that in the Virginia
case it was not alleged that any particular
colored man had been excluded from any
particular jury. 1t was contended that
the Judge had in general way omitted to
impanel members of the negro race. This
then was, comparatively speaking, diff
fused and abstract offense, but that
of the Hartford Board of Supervisors
is concrete and specific. A definite,
individualized representative of the
colored race has been positively
refused an office for which he made special
application. If, therefore, the constitu-
tional amendment was violated in the Vir-
ginia case, it was much more fagrantly
transgressed in the Connecticut case.
Probably the Supreme Court will hold
that the Hartford Supervisors are bound
to give Mr.. Bassey place on the police
force, and that having appointed him they
must go to the Penitentiary. Obviously it
will not do to make fish of one and flesh
of the other. If the Virginia Judge went
to prison, how much more must the Con-
necticut Supervisors be deserving OF that
penalty. The amendments were made for
the whole country, and not for the South
alone. No doubt, therefore, they will be
enforced vigorously, and without discrim-
nation as to place or respect as to persons.

TIE PENNSYLVANIA DELEGATION.

1t is stated, on what is alleged to be good
authority, that there is general revolt
among the Pennsylvania delegates to the
Chicago Convention, and that they have
determined to inform Senator Cameron
that they will not abide by the unit rule,
but will vote against Grant If there is
any truth in this report it is highly proba-
BILE that the pardon of the five convicted
lobbyists, and the effect of that pardon
upon public opinion throughout the State,
has had great deal to do with the resolu-
luton of the delegates. The tendency of
events in Pennsylvania ever since the Har-
risburg Convention was held, has been to
the development of stronger sentiment
against the machine programme, and it is
quite conceivable that this sentiment may
have made itself felt upon the delegates to
Chicago, as stated.

Fire at AIameda-The Long Branch Hotel
buried.

ALAMEDA. May 4th.-About o'clock this
morning fire broke out in the Long Branch
Hotel. The hotel was used as a restaurant
in connection with the swimming baths, and
at the time of the fire there were no dodgers
in the hotel. The thirteen inmates were all
employees of the house. The fire was first
discovered in the kitchen, and by the time of
the arrival of the Fire Department the whole
of the house was in flames. The fire was
first discovered by Mary Spaulding, one of
the servants, who Immediately alarmed the
inmates, but was herself caught in the flames
and burned to death. The deceased has a
married sister and brother residing in this
city, the brother being in the employ OF one
of the soap manufactures. 1t is supposed
that the fire was occasioned by the cook
using coal oil to light the fire in the
stove. When the engine arrived the build
ing was wrapped in flames, and owing to
the lack OF water, there being no hydrants or
cisterns in the vicinity, nothing could be done
to save it. A high wind prevailed at The
time, blowing the flames and sparks in the
direction of Britt's Hotel, which caught fire
twice, but the flames were extinguished
without doing much damage. The persons
in the Long Branch were not able to save
anything, owing to the rapid spread of the
flames, and they considered themselves lucky
to escape with their lives. Mrs. Pearson
managed to save bundle of clothes, but a
watch which she carried was dropped in the
crowd and lost. A very valuable library be-
longing to Mr.. Pearson was also burned.
The kitchen, where the fire originated, was a
two-story building which adjoined the veran-
da of the hotel on the east side. 1t was
new building, and was built to accommodate
the crowd Of visitors expected this season.
The loss is estimated at from 5000 to $780,
900 ; no insurance.
