cav. ma inch beyond the thrce.mile limit,
snn,n viii have violated the rights Of neu-
trails At her peril. In the present temper OF
Snanisb naval officers, II is scarcely likely
that thew would scrupulously respect
IN. ,bree.mile limit, and, therefore,
an incident like the Trent affair might
easily occur. We believe, however, that
under such circumstances the Madrid Gov
ernment would disavow the act, and hasten
To make duo amends, as we did In the case
Of MASON and SLIDELL. Even IL, then,
there vere an improper exercise Of the
| RIGHT Of search, it 10 hardly conceivable
that Snain would suffer such an incident to
become n eosus beili. She could only be
| tbpa foolbardy IL she wished for war. But
that abe cannot possibly desire. There is
mn foundation for tho notion that to lose
Cuba simply as a result Of inability to SUBJ
due tho revolutionists would be worse for
the present dynasty than to lose It as the
result of an unsuccessful war with the
United States.
The outcome of an unsuccessful war with
the United States would mean for Spain
not only the loss of Cuba, but possibly, also,
the loss of the Philippines, possibly the
bOmDardmenU OIL Sduib uhu " DdTCelOuu,
certainly the ruin Of SPANS navy and the
bankruptcy of her treasury. To suppose
that such a tissue Of dishonor and disaster
would endear the present dynasty to the
Spanish people is to impute to them q de-
gree of stupidity which they have never
evinced. 1t is to assume that people love q
ruler In proportion to the harm he does
them. Granting that the so-called AL
fonsine dynasty might not long sur
vive the surrender of Cuba, we can
sec that it could not sustain itself an
hour against the Carlists and the Republi-
cans, If, in addition to the loss of the Pearl
of the Antilles, the Spanish navy should
DO destroyed, and the horrors of war should
be brought home to the inhabitants of the
Spanish peninsula.
There is not likely to be any war with
Spain, because the Spanish politicians are
not madmen. They will bear, with what
equanimity they can, our recognition Of the
Cubans as belligerents, which cannot be de-
layed much longer; and they will not even
make our ultimate recognition Of Cuban
independence a cdsus beli, any more than
they did the similar act performed by Pres.
ident MONROE seventy-fve years ago.

Like Senator Henry Clay, tho statesman
from Kentucky" continued the raconteur from
the South. who dressed his stories in language
and style at once pleasing and ~zostful. Senator
w. Pettus OF Alabama is an inveterato
card player. with q fondness for poker that 10
we'll nish human in devotion. II the time that
venerable gentleman has spent in the game
could be summed up many years would stand on
tho debit side of his lifc ledger. He has won and
lost his thous nds at one sitting. But to my
story: There lived in Gen. Pettus's town, Selma,
Ala, in the seventies a wealthy railroad Presi-
dent, Major Lanier of tho old Alabama
Central Railroad. running between Selma
Southern Railroad system. The Major. and
General were boon companions. with a
friendship almost as strong as that of Damon
and Pythias. They used to spend their ummers
at tho Majors summer home in Talladega, above
to playing, poker, since, the railroad PRESIDENT
was equally fond Of the game. old Manuel,
the Majors colored BODY servant. would sit at
the table and keep account of the winnings and
losings. being tho banker At the end Of each
year he would render accounts promptly, and
whichever was indebted to the other would
hand Manuel a check to squaro up the game. At
the end of one year Gen. Pettus owed the Major
$4,000; another year the Major was indebted
to the General for $4,000, and 80 the game
would run. 1t was never higher than 81 limit,
end was kept up until the Majors death"

replenish its gold reserve, and thus. In q
roundabout way, IL can obtain money for
It's expenses. This is an awkward and
alarming procedure, and its employment
has brought undeserved odium upon the
Government notes by making Il appear
that the bonds are sold to provide for their
redemption, whereas they are really sold to
obtain money for expenses.
The obvious remedy for the evil 10 to
make the partial coincidence of our Gov
eminent note system with that Of the Bank
Of England complete, by separating our
note issue, like that OF the bank, entirely
from other Treasury business, and not re.
Issuing our notes, when they arc redeemed,
except against deposits OF an equal amount
Of gold. This measure 10 recommended by
Secretary GAGE and 1t will be supported by
all sound fnancicrs. To give It full Of.
f~ciency, however, there should be no bank
currency to embarrass it's working.
As things are, tho Government IL re-
sponsible for the maintenance ut par In
gold, not only Of $3.50, 900, 900 of its own
notes, but of $3.50, O0O, 900 of silver dol
lars and silver certificates, and Of $780,
600, 900 OF bank notes, making $780,
000,0 900 in oil. 1t does this upon O gold
reserve of $3.50, 900, 900 and 1t has at times
done 1t with less. II, now whenever there
was a demand for gold for export and Gov.
eminent notes were presented for redemp-
tion to supply 1t, the redeemed notes could
be locked up until gold wa paid in fortheir
reissue, we should eventually learn Just how
many Of them needed no reserve at all, but,
like the $s4, 900, 900 Of the Bank Of Eng.
land notes covered only by the Govern
ment's credit, would remain in the hands of
the people under all conditions. The maxi
mum gold reserve being thus ascertained
and provided, every drain upon It would so
contract the reserve Of our banks that, like
the banking department of the Bank Of
England, they, and not the Treasury, would
have to resort to defensive measures, and the
Treasury would not need to concern itself
on the subject in any manner whatever.
