BELLIGEREyT VESSELS IN NEUTRAL
pOPTC

Asa good deal of discussion in regard to the
bearing of International law upon the treat
ment by neutral Powers Of belligerent vessels
has been occasioned by the significant juxta-
position of an English and Russian man-of-
war in American waters recently, it may be
worth while to state the law on the subject. No
ship of war or privatcer of either beligerent is
permitted. az a rule, to stay more than twenty
four hours in neutral port, unless the'said
vessel is in want of supplies or repairs. If she
needs supplies she is only to be provided with
sufficient for her immediate wants. If she needs
coal she can only have enough to carry her to
the nearest port of her own country, or to some
nearer destination. When her repairs have
been completed she must leave port within
twenty -four hours. A belligerent vessel hav-
ing been once supplied with coal. cannot receive
another supply of coal for three months
If vessels belonging to both the beligerents
are in neutral port at the same time, the YES
sells of one beligerent cannot leave the port
within twenty four hours of the vessels OF the
other belligerent. This is regulation which
proves very rksOme to the belligerents, but 1t Is
evident that neuCrals are compelled to enforce
it if they wish to prevent collisions from occur
ring within their jurisdiction. Prizes of either
beligcrent arc not allowed to be brought into
neutral ports save under stress of weather, nor
must any goods from such prizes be sold in
neutral ports These are the principal regula-
tons usually observed in modern war, though
the twenty-fOur- hour rule cannot be said to
have been unanimously adopted into interna-
tiOnal law. 1t has been found convenient, and
is therefore generally followed, but it is open
to modification, though at the risk of interna-
tional misunderstanding. If the Garnet and
the Strelok were here when war was declared,
and the United States proclaimed neutrality,
and if one of them went out, the other would
have to wait TWEEN, flour hours before follow

PROC RI,SS DOWh WARD.

II is not surprising that the loss OF
S7.SG5. S62 from the gold reserve OF the
Treasury appears to Secretary Manning the
most important feature of the debt statement,
and serious matter. The Treasury holds
ST.. 700, 600 more gold than it held April l, but
has outstanding nearly So, 5000 more gold
certificates. The Secretary is right, too, II he
attributes the vanishing of his gold reserve to
the randi accumulation of silver. For the
Treasury now owns about $60OO,OGO more
silver than it owned April l, having added to
its stock about half that amount and diminished
the outstanding certificates about as much
more. At New-York, during the month OF
April, Al 3 per cent of the customs duties were
paid in silver certificates, against 34.5 per cent
in March, and 1913 per cent in February.
One month ago, the net cash in the Treasury
according to Mr.. Manning's first statement, was
So, 259, O26, and it is now $23 JAP. But
in these amounts were included, Ill both cases,
the United States notes redeemed and on hand,
which are now about S1,000,000 more than
month ago, and in both cases, ALSO the amount
of interest accrued but not yet due was not de-
Quoted, as in former statements 1t had been.
Exclusive of United States notes. the amount OF
cash in the Treasury available for the redemp-
ton of notes il only about 100000 more than
it was month ago, but $6,000,0O0 more of it
is silver about 81, 100000 of it is in the form
of deposits in banks, and 100000 more of it is
in bank notes, while $7,S65,SG2 less of it is in
gold. It. is very clear that the condition of the
Treasury has not been strengthened during the
month, or improved in any sense, and the state
ment printed on the 30th in The TRiBUSE's
Washington dispatches showed that the decline
in revenue had been nearly $2,O00,OOO in
March, and $21, 10000 in nine months, in
comparison with receipts for the previous fiscal
year. In April the receipts from customs at
New-York were substantially the same as those
of April 1884.

lating silver in place of gold in the reserves, the
Administration has also to consider declining

PRESIDENT GARFIELD AND JUSTICE
H1TTHEHS

The old and baseless scandal that President
Garfield appoine led Judge Stanley Matthews 10
the Supreme Bench upon an agreement made
bef re his election is again revived by certain
Democratic papers. These lovers of detraction
forget that Judge Matthews was originally APP
pointed by President Hayes in February, 1877.
and that owing to the pressure of business be-
fore the Senate he was not confirmed. AS the
session terminated by the Constitution on the
Sd of March, it was very easy for the Sena-
tors who were hostile to Judge Matthews to
force a postponement of the vote on his con-
frmatOn.
For many years President Garfield and
Judge Matthews had been close friends
Unless. therefore. President Garfield
had desired to set the seal of his
condemnation on an old and valued po-
litical comrade he could not help renOmlnatng
him. But beyond this consideration President
Garfield had great admiration and unlimited
confidence in Judge Matthews, and he sent his
name to the Senate not simply as an act OF
personal Justice to a friend, but in the full be-
lief that he would prove himself, rs he has
most conspicuousy done, to be an able,
learned. impartial Judge of our highest court.
Ali but. says our very wise Democratic
editor, President Hayes was also a party
to the agreement. This implies then
that President Hayes knew there would
be vacancy on the Bench-nay, it implies
that the eminent and honorable Noah
Swayne resigned just at the lucky moment to
have the agreement carried out. Pray lot us
hear no more of this wicked and most absurd
inslnuahon against four justly distinguished

General Bragg, of Wisconsin, begins to know
how il is himself. He does not think so much
of This Administration as he did. 1t was MS
misfortune to ask the appointment OF a very
Jealous friend and supporter to be postmaster
and conceived that he had an especial right
both as member OF Congress and as promi-
mont sunnorter of Mr.. Cleveland. But it hap
nened that Mr.. Villas, the Postmaster-G General,
who represents Wisconsin III the Cabinet hau
different views. Possibly Mr.. Villas would
rather be Senator himself than 10 nave Oeher"i
Brace elected to that Office. At any rate, he
objected to Mr.. Braggs candidate, and not
having any other good ground, apparently, was
incautious enough to object on the ground thaC
Mr.. Bragg's candidate, though Endorsed by
great many Union soldiers, was himself u
soldier in the rebel service. This moved Cen
oral Brapv TO wrath, and he proceeded to re-
mark upon the selection of unpardOned and I'M
renantant rebels and the worst of the Northern
Commercials to represent this country abroad,
and TO fill many other conspicuous Offices. In
high dudgeon he withdrew the paper OF his
fayorite candidate, having first made remarks
which appear to have been much moro emphatic
than complimentary.
Rut all this is not to the point. The cause OF
General Bragg's unhappiness is not material.
The important part is that he can now under
stand in some small measure, why other Demo
Gratis who knew Mr. Cleveland better than ne
did, opposed his nomination. They said he was
n sham. and a Pharisve, and fraud, and was
lust the MN to put on tremendous airs OF
virtue and dSinterestedness, while privately
serving himself or those who had contriyed To
run him. They said that he would be governed
not by the interests of the country or the Dem
ocratic party, bat by strict regard for the sue
cess of a little clique. supposed to BIS devoted
exclusively to his personal advancement but
that while thus sacrifcigg everything else in

Carefully initiate the Mugwumps. and hypo-
critically pretend that the stop which pieaseu
himself. in each and every case, was the precise
step which most lofty and unsellish devotion
To the public welfare demanded. General Bragg
thought this was most unjust. Perhaps he
knows moro about it now. At Chicago this
same Bragg said of Mr.. Cleveland. We love
him for the enemies he has made" Having

thinks it wise to make some more enemies, ana

SOLDIERS AND SIILORS AND STATE OFF,

There is now before the Senate, having
passed the Assembly, bill cxeinpting from ox-
animation, under the Ncw-YOrk Civil Service
act, all honorably discharged soldiers and
sailors Of the United States. 1t is a bill which,
on the face Of it, appeals directly to patriotic
feeling, and on that account it is likely To re-
ceive the support Of many persons who do not
seek for its defects. A little candid reflection.
however, it seems to us, will suffice to show
that it il wrong in principle, that its enactment
would defeat its ostensible purpose, and that it
ought to be killed.
One of the strongest claims of the soldiers and
sailors to public respect and gratitude is found
in the fact that, in the face OF many tempta-
tons, they have TO a wonderful degree persisted
in remaining in peace good citizens of the coun-
try which they saved in war. AS class they
have not made exOrbitant demands in return
for services rendered, nor shown a selfish disre.
gard of the public welfare in any relation grow
ing out of the Rebellion and we have no idea
that they would knowingly urge the passage of
a bad law drawn in their favor. But it 80 hap
mems that the Earl bill. so far from promoting
their interests, would make it a very easy mat
ter TO betray them. The present law gives the
preference to soldiers and sailors among COM
petitors of equal grade. The bill now before
the Legislature would annul this secure advant-
age and reduce all soldiers and sailors alike to
deuendence upon the precarious favor of the
amounting power and it is estimated that
there are ten times as many competitors among
them in the State as there Offices to be filed
under the law
But the bill is wrong in principle also.
Bravery and discipline and skill at arms arc
priceless in their own 6eld, and the qualities
which make a good soldier are likely to be use
full in any avocaton; but they do not guarantee
mans fitness for the Civil Service. The sea
man who has done the best thing possible in an
emergency is apt to be promoted, but he is not
rewarded with an accountants desk in the com
pany's Office. Moreover, even those persons
who are most hostile TO the competitive exami
nation system ought to SEQ that there is nothing
| In this bill for them to favcr. If the present
law results In an inefficient Civil Service. it
ought 10 be repealed. but 1t is not honest or de-
