THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 29, i860. THE NEW YORK PRESS. Editorial Opinions of the Leading' Journals Upon the Mo3t Import ant Topics of the Hour. , ' ' I COMPILED EVERT PAT POR EVENING TiLBOlUPn. A Report of Some Interest About the Rio From the Timet, We observe with BatWfoctlon that "General" B. Clay Crawford, the renowned commander of the "American DIvIhiod" of the Liberal army of Mexico, In coollntr his martial ardor In the case mates of Fort Jackson, below New Orleans. It appears that after the late- disgraceful raid npon Bagdad, that officer bad the audacity to go to New Orlcuns the headquarters Itself of our Military Divbion of the Gulf, and the residence of Generals Sheridan and Canby "lor reinforce ments and supplies." As to the reinforcements, the amount of recruit he procured U very un certain; but horn the fact that ho was making tracks for New York In the Continental, when overhauled and translcrred to a Government ntcanitug, it may be interred that he considered New York a saler Held for recruiting than New Orleans. As to supplies, it la known that he has procured enough tor hi personal su-ttenanco, good Government rations, dealt out under guard. Verily here is a vile tailing off from the Gene ral Crawford of a week since. Then the news was that this warrior aspired to the leadership of the Northern Division in the army of Juarez or, as the telegraph phrased It, he was "wrangling several day with General E-icobcdo regaiding the command of the Liberal forces." Now, the headquarters of that gang of filibus ters whom he has the audacity to' call "the American Division," are violently transferred to Kort Jackson, in which strong portion, let lis hope, a goodly percentage of the aforesaid Ameri can Division will soon rally round their leader. We have never imagined Crawford's "diviniou" to be much more than a paper force, about equivalent, say, to a veteran reserve regiment of the old pattern, or a FalstaiCan company, maae up chlelly tor tuebenctitof its commauder. But, large or small, we hope all these Indepen dent "armed advocates" of the Monroe Doctrine will take warning from tne mishap of this General. Of course there is but one opinion (but one opinion, at least, which ventures to find utter ance), about these disgraceful proceedings oa the ltio Grande, which might have put bo un pleasant a look upon our ollicial professions of neutrality in tho actuul hostilities of the armies in the field of J!e:;ico. To say Ihut filibusters have crossed the ltio Grande anil seized Bagdad, or that they have joined forces besicgimr Mata moras, is a very n.ild way ot putting a grave offense. The daniage these men do to the cause or forces of Maximilian, or 1o ttie shopkeepers they plunder, is a wnall item. They aim at doing a serious injury to tne United States. Tliev en deavor to jeopardize, the relutions of our country with toreinn nations. They do not he.-Uateto try to complicate our diplomatic relations and our government il policy. Of courso, as an ac tual fact, the character and scope of these unauthorized and plundering excursions are too well known to give serious trouble, but the intent of the perpetrators is no less censurable. It may b! added that a very extraordinary state ot discipline is disclosed as existing anions a part of the troops on the Kio Grande, tj make these violation bt neutrality even possible. Hut the performances of Crawford and his men, though chiefly devised and encouraged on the Kio Grande, have doubtless received some stimu lus from a misapprehension ot the tooling at the North. Some ot those feverish speculations in the Mexican loan may have created a wrong idea of the disposition ot our people. Nor do we believe that those political boirees on Satur day nitrhts, where, under tho general text of Monroe Doctrine, sentiments of premature and unauthorized armed action on the Mexican question are put forth, are calculated to have a good etlcct upon men of the Crawtord stamp. Many of our people dislike routine. They lret under the necessary delays atteur! ant on investi gation. Accustomed, by four years of extra ordinary activity in hostilities, to a feverish imratieuce, they want everything settled at telegraphic speed. And some orators, who really know better, encourage this impatience by representing that tho whole question can be settled any tine morning between breakfast and lunch, and that Maximilian should be picked up instanter on a sword's point and flung out of Mexico. The Currency. From the T ribune. The inflationists are loyous. They believe they have cornered redemption in the IIouso Committee ol Ways and Means so that they can sell their hoarded flour, pork, coal, etc. etc., at such prices as their consciences (!) will allow them to charge. So the premium on gold begins to stiffen, and every form of gambling with the life-blood of industry and the bread of the widow and tho orphan reckons with confidence on. a high old time. They may miss it yet we trust they will but, for the moment, they have the non-speculating fiublic at a disadvantage. Backed by the strong mporting interest, which sells rapidly and at, large profits when the currency is in a tho roughly gaseous state; the National Banks, which find or fancy redeeminu their qos in paper more profitable than paying them in coin; and the folly of those who realize that they now sell their labor or produce at high prices, and forget that they pay like high prices for every thing they buy then inflationists seem lor the moment to have the inside track. It is said that the Committee will not report Mr. McCulloch's bill. If not. we thull know eractlv what tuev mean, and shall try to have others under stand it. The Evening 1'ost recently proposed that Con gress should authorize the Secretary to tund the ceititJcates of indebtedness, seven-thirties, and lnteresi notes, lut nut the greenbacks. Yet it knows perfectly that only through tho funding of the greenbacks can wo return to specie pay ments., wniie seven or eigtit Hundred, millions of these remain afloat, intlation is a fixed fact. 10 iuna tne greenbacks is the iudiapcusable pre requisite of resumption. "Well, redeem them," says one; "but let the piocess be gradual." So it would be. whether we would or would not? have It so. The Secretary mi'st collect one million dollars per dav to keen fc Is chin above water: do you tear that he can contract the currency in a flash if he would, or would if be could r If greenbacks should become too scarco and dear, they would not be tunded, even it he should wish to fund them. Why is not this underftoud? Let us becin forthwith, to fund our greenbacks and thus contract our curreucv: if wo do not, it will be contracted, or else destroyed, bv a com mercial convulsion as t.hev tay, a "panic." Trices are too biorh; importations are excessive; ci'-iPa are crowded and city rents exorbitant; while the rural tll-hiets are comparatively oe verted. These are elements or p liases of astute of things that ciinu.t endure. Sooner or later, it inevitably di;rs rs own grave. Let us bo wise and, loreaeeimr, avert tho s. until which m jst otherwise sweep over oir couutrv. Let us turn from inflation and speculation to honest dollar and productive labor. Our Financial Condition How to Helum AVcjm Die Ihrald. The difficulties which uppear ti surround the fiuestion of national finance will nrove mors imaginary than real when wo apply a little com mon sense to their solution, i ue greatest trouble is that the subiect has become nmtitled and complicated by the thousand nostrums of would- be financial doctors, it w an inviting theme, and every little banker or accountant tak it up acd thinks his limited experience in local business enabled him to treat it la a national tointofview. This Is a mistake. Neither such men, nor ihe lawyers and politicians who have attempted fo solve the problem, have sucoeedud. Their views generally are too contracted, or they Indulge in theories that have no practical value. 'The consequence is that, with bouridlass resouices in the country to promptly m9et our liabilities, or to discharge them, and return to specie payments, we are floundering about In a sea of uncertainty, and may end in a universal wreck. The original cause of our financial troubles was Mr. Chase. Heine Secretary of the Treasury when the Government required large sums of money to carry on the war, ana not unaorsiana ine the subject of finance, ho flooded the country with paper leoney and laid the foundation of the 1 national bank system. This lawyer Socretary of the Treasury was followed by a politician from Maine, who knew as little as his predecessor. Then came the present becretary, a respectable banker, who understood Wall street operations, bank discounts, and bank circulation, but seems tothavc got beyond his depth in the mazes of national finance. He adopts thejold theory of the Diillionists, cnunciai ng u, nowevcr, witu many qualilying expressions, and his practice, from necessity, is contrary to blB theory. As to UOiifiress. 'iniuiug irom wuut we nave seen of the capacity of that bod v. there appears to be a lamentable lack of ability to treat this or any other Rreat question in. a statesmanlike manner. Wo have little hope that our represen tatives or officials, apart from the President, will take a broad common sense vlewot the matter, unless pressed to do so by the people. The importance of the question cannot be over estimated, eitner in its immediate or remote bearings; and it is necessary that the press should take it up with earneBtness, and that the people should urge eucb measures as the country requires. line oi tne tirst tilings to oe done is to taKe steps to break up the present system of national banks. The principle on which' thev are founded is radically wronir. The credit of the Govern ment is being used to the extent of four or live hundred millions for private benefit, or to enrich privato companies, and neither the Government nor the people receiving any profit whatever. These banks are allowed to do business on Government securities. Their issues are based on these securities, tho Government furnishing them with currency, or notes lor circulation, nearly to the full amount deposited. Tho de posited securities, however, are active or produc tive capital as wen as tne notes issued upon mem. Thus the national bauks draw six or seven per cent, from the Government as interest on tho securities deposited, nnd make as much, or more than that, on the notes tor circulation given to tuem by the Government. Jn ot tier words, tne bankb are making at least from twelve to tilteen per cent, on the ir capital by the favr of tho Government, without reckoning the profits of their business in other respects. Now, who pays this? From whom is th s profit drawn? The people. The circulation ot these bauks will reach, when distributed all over the country, iu required proportions, live hundred millions. From tins tne bankers will draw at least a rienr yearly income of sixty to seventy-live millions independent .f other profits arising from the banking busiues. Never were capitalists so fa vored by a Government before. It is impossible that such an enormous tux upon the industry of the country can continue without the most serious consequences; lor, niter all. this sixty or spventy five millions annually had to ho drawn from tne industry of the country. But this will not be the only, or perhaps the least, evil. This na tional bank system will build up an oligarchy, a moneyed power, far more formidable than that of the old national bank which Jackson strangled. It will keep our finances inflated and disarranged, and in tlie end will brinprupon us both financial aod political trouble. The people ouht to become enlightened as to its dangerous character, and Congress ought to bcein to apply a remedy either Dy taxing those banks out ot existence, as the old banks have beon, or by some other equally efficacious measure. instead ot withdrawing the leeal tenders to make way lor the circulation of these enormous private companies, the Government should have the benefit ot its own circulation, consrress has power under the Constitution to coin money, and if it had power to issue lecal tenders, or to issue notes to the national banks, it has power to make and establish a fixed currency of its own. A bureau could be established at the seat of government or in this metropolis, with exclu sive control over the subject of national finances. It i-nouid nave power, under proper provisions of law, to contract or expand operations; accord ing to the rates of exchange abroad and the balances of trade. It could be made to operate something like the manner in which the Bank of tinglaad operates, only in a more extended and powertul way. Our legal tenders (and under this system we suppose there would be no other national currency) would Boon be like the Bank ot England notes at par with gold everywhere. This country. thent from its vast resources and geographical position, might become, at no dis tant day, the money centre of the world. At all events, something must be done soon to correct and establish our moneyed system upon a sound basis, or we shall be in danger of both financial and political troubles. The Career of a Female Robber in Mexico. A woman, named Feliciana Yogas, was lately sentenced to death at Jalapa. The Mexican 2!'wv?,edited by ex-Governor Allen,of Louisiana, eays: The career of crime which at last loads this woman to tre scaffold is bo extraordinary as to excite the attention of the entire press of this city, bhe was the mistress of one Gonzalez, a confectioner, and soon after the arrival of a de tachment of French troops at Jalapa. in con junction with him, mixed poison in the food of tne soldiers ana Killed ten ot them. Gonzalez was soon after arested, tried, and executed for tne crime. Feliciana, Biispec'lng who had denounced Gonzalez to the authorities, dressed herself in men's clothes, enticed him beyond tho limits of the city, and killed him; but before doing bo she forced him to kneel at her feet, and opening her bosom, exposed her sex, and claimed to the better man oi tne two. This crime she con fessed at the time of her trial, it beinir unknoivn previously. It would take up too much space to recount the many crimes which have been committed by this woman, and we pass to the last, aud the one for which she lias been condemned which was the robbery oi $:oou in sold aud the jewelry of Senor Acosia on the night of the lfith of August last, ihe family had recently moved into the house, aud Feliciana was employed as a domestic. Publio curiosity win much, excited to see Fell, ciana. and the court-room and the streets were crowded with peu'ile. She was cool and col lected, and declined, to sit down when brought before the Court, but remained standing, with out any-perceptible emotion, except the occa sional ouivei' Ol the litis in nxiKivpr tn n nnpnt.lnn. Her voice was lo v, but'iierleetlv intelliyiblo. Upon beinir usuCu ii she knew with what oitense Bhe was charued, replied. "I budposo for that ou the table." On the table was tho stolen jewelry. On bt-itic usked how bhe came by it, she replied that l ioies gave it to her. "With what object did he live it to you ?" was asked. She answered thai 'iu might keep silent, as to tlie various crimes uuiuu sno tuew had. oeou commuted by li e . The Court icnn-.u-od her to die, and she lis tened to the suiU'ri" without the Bliirhtest etno tion. Sho then n. d to bo lnlornied who were in prison .on el::;; o of the robberv, as ihe wished to tell il iln-y were uuiltv or "innocent. aud, on being iu' i"t jJ, fcaid that the mother and witeot Floivs wera !:uiitv. and thatotners were pot.

More Mail Robberies. TBREB BOYS AP.RERTEO IN MRW HAVEN. The New Ilaven (Ct.) Pa'ludium of Friday evening ays: Three boys, sonB of respectable citizens, weie arrested yesterday by Deputy Mar.-hnl Lovcloy, lor obtaining letteis from tho Post Office Under false pretenses. They obtained, among other matter, the mall for United States Revenue Collector Woodruff. In this mail was a letter containing a draft tor a large eum threa thou sand dollars, U is reported. Two of tho boys can hardly have pa-wed their twelfth year; the other Is fourteen or fifteen. They aro now held for trial. The facts are those: "Recently Eli Whitney, of the Whitney Arms Company, Whitneyvllle, missed several letters which ne should have received through the roaiK The frequency of these omissions at last led him to suspect his Irish boy, Patrick Sulli van, who had a key to the lock-box of the company, and who was in the habit or bring ing ihe mail. Accordingly Mr. Whitney stepped into Colonel Wripht's office and had a warrant made out for Sullivan's arrest. Before, how ever, he had arrested Patrick, other de velopments tame to light which put the omcer ot tne law on anotner seem. wora was eont Mr. Whitney that a boy had oflercd a check in favor of Mr. Whitney at the City Bank, and at the Orange Btreet Savings Bank, and that at both places the officer. had refused to cash it. By dint ot Inquiry ttiey ascer tained that the name of the bov who had offered the check was Frank Uultze, a son of a black smith residing on George street. They found him at the JJigh School on Oraniro Btreet. On being questioned, he said tho check was triven him Dy Edward Foote, a son of Joel B. Foote, of this city. They then went to the school ot John E. Lovell, Esq., where they found younr Foote, w ho said in turn that lie had been given the check by a boy named Albert Mugiord. To juugtora nest tney went, xnev ioumi mm in the Eaton School. On beinir informed of tho nature of the business ot tie Deputy Marshal, he at once made an open and clear confession, Bay ing that he had taken the chock, aud that lie had eot it by means of a key which had been dropped on the floor ot the school-room by IiIb 8eatmate, the Irish boy Sullivan. This explained matters a little, and oi courso exonerated the Buspected Irish lad. "Muptord wa then taken into custody, lie is tho son of a gardener employed iu this cit y. All are boys of unusually frank and open appear ance. Mugford IB the oldest, and apparently ihe more cunmutf ol the three. He, however, can didly stated that he got the other boys to cro in with him into the letter stealin'i business. I1 rom facts obtained from the boys it was ascertained that the key had been in their possession Homo lour weeks, and that the number oi ictiers fraudulently obtained was about two dozen. All the rlean hrotits thev bad obtained from tho operations would not, however, amount to more than twenty-five cents, as tne letters contained el' her checks or drafts, or else were niero busi ncBS documents. "he boys cuplained how the check iu favor of Collector Woodrutt came in tlieir possession; they say that une of the letters they found in Mr. Whitney's box had the number ot JUr. woodmil 8 box upon it. With this Information the Ilultze boy went to tne post oiuce and eauou lor tne letters for Mr. Woodruff. Thejclerk, thinking the bov had no business to take them, asked h'm wha1: ricrht he ha 1 to cull for them. Hultze replied that Mr. Woodruff was in Mansfield's hat store, and had sent for them. The answer being deemed satisfactory. Ilultze was given tho let ters. Among them was the check, which was a $2200 one. This check the Ilultze boy delivered uplat Mr. Woodruff's office yesterday, his mother accompanying htm there." FINANCIAL, j i: 3t O V A L TO NEW OFFICE.
