l)iinrmint as a Condition or I'cace.
Tub proposition wade by the Queen of Eng
' laud to the oilier powers for a general disarm-
Ing, is the most direct and sensible step towards
securing the peace of Europe that has yet
i been made. The present condition of the
nations of Europe is like that of a community
1 whose members have quarrelled all their lives
" past, and where em h man now goes armed to
' the teeth. This very condition is a warlike
one and directly tends to provoke collisions.
Tho different peoples of Europe are filled with
a huge mistrust towards each other. Centu
ries of old feuds, unavenged wrongs, and
mutual injuries, have done their work of
'alienation. If one nation anus, her neighbors
must all make haste to do so likewise, le3t an
"undue advantage be gained. If one nation
discovers and uses a ui-w and . improved
weapon, every arsenal in Europe is set to
'work turning out ti e new guu. There is a
constant endeavor on the part of all to guard
against surprise, or being taken at a diaad
Vantago. The consequent is that every
power in Europe is s id lied with a military
establishment which is a terrible tax upon the
industries of its inhabitants, and the nations
live in a condition of aiwd peace.
It is evident that no one nation, singly and
alone, could "safely venture to change this
order of affairs, and live as though peace were
the normal condition ol mankind. To do so
would be to place herself at the mercy of any
Tapacious neighbor who might choose to swoop
down upon her. All must disarm or none
will do so. But the proposal to disarm needs
only to come from a lew of the great powers,
to be gladly accepted by all the rest. Of
course, the extent and ihe con litions of dis
armament would have to be settled by a com
mon treaty of all the powers. But the measure
Once carried out, would go very far, in our
opinion, to secure ' for Europe an immunity
f rom war which she has ii"ver before enjoyed.
The reduction of theie huge military establish
ments would also remove a mountain-load of
expenses from the various Governments, and
tend to relieve the people from the evils of ex
cessive taxation.
The time when the nations of the earth shall
beat their swords into ploughshares and their
spears into pruning-hooks seems far distant.
Yet there are indications, laint though they
be, that rulers and people are beginning to
realize more vividly than ever before the folly
of war. They see that it is wasteful, expen
sive, oppressive, and that the living in a con
stant state of preparedness for war and expec
tation of it, is the sureat way to produce it
and to prolong its evils. We hail, therefore,
the proposal for disarmament, coming from
such a power as England. It is a step in the
right direction. It tend to turn the current
of national affairs towards the channels of
peace, and to throw barriers in the way of
war".
Mr. Greeley as Jeff. Davis' Bondsman.
There is something very significant in the fact
of Horace Greeley's being the first man to
sign the bail bond of Jefferson Davis. It was
from no personal feeling that Mr. Greeley did
so, for the two men have little in common,
and there are no personal ties between them.
Nor was it from any political sympathy with
Davis, for Mr. Greeley has none. Its signiQ
cance arises from the fact, on the contrary,
tfiat while Jefferson Davis stands as the repre
sentative of the old order of things, the pro
slavery principle that dominated in the Gov
ernment of the "Union as it was " Mr.
Greeley not inaptly represents the new order
Of things, the free, forgiving, enfranchising
spirit that characterizes the regenerated and
reconstructed Union of to-day. Pwbably no
man was more thoroughly traduced and vili
fied by the old South, that which Jeff. Davis
used to know and lead, than Horace Greeley.
But that old pro-slavery power has passed
away vanished like the unsubstantial fabrio
of a dream. In its place we behold the rising
of a grander and nobler power, one that is
full of life and progress, one that is clement
ana unvmaiouve. Mr. Greeley has all his life
'""B wcc" " 11 uo '"euu ot the SouLh. TV.
principles he has advocated would have made
her great and glorious, beneficent and pro-
Knjic, ..u wouiu naue saved her from
a 1 1
umuiu uu unnumbered wo. In the hour
of the humiliation of this old and hautrhtv
prd-slavery power, in the person of its chosen
leader, Mr. Greeley steps forward on an errand
of mercy and forgiveness. The principle of
liberty has triumphed, and in the day of its
power and glory, he would have it dispense
pardon to the fallen aud humiliated represen
tative of a bygone era.
As for Jeff. Davis, he has ceased to be of
any importance. His imprisonment, though
merely nominal, ana rather a luxurious enter
tainwent by the Government, has served to
keep him before the pnblio eye. He will now
vanish. There will be a momentary recogni
tion and welcome by old comrades, and then
we shall hear no more of him. While he lives
be will be an example of the clemency of a
great people. But he belongs to a past era,
aud; the nation Is too full of activity and pro
cress, too much absorbed in the grand destiny
elicit opens before it, under the inspiring in
fluences of universal freedom and equality, to
pay further attention to him. Let the dead
rast bury its dead. Horace Greely's signing
Jeff. Davis' bail bond closes the old reoord.
It is the writing of the epitaph on the tomb
stone of the slave power.
The Presidential Candidates.
We notice that tho various journal are
already putting forth their favorites for the
Presidential nomination, and eaoh State is in
fact being impressed with the idea that she
must have at least one candidate for the
honor. The Boston Traveller of Saturday
contains a pleasant article on the subject of
the general scramble, whicli sums up the pre
sent prospects hi a pretty reliable manner. It
says:
"Not a month pbsrph without brlnirinir un n.

San Francisco Safe.
The Supreme Court decided, yesterday, ad
versely to the De Haro claim to the city o
San Francisco. The magnitude of this case is
not properly appreciated by us in the East,
and we can only form an adequate idea of
the interest it excited in California, by imagin-'
ing a similar case in which we of Philadelphia
were interested. Suppose that a claim to all
that part of Philadelphia east of Broad street
were to be made by one family, who were to
produce a title direct from William Penn, and
we had no statute of limitation running in
Pennsylvania; that this claim was at least possi
ble, if not plausible, and was being
prosecuted before the Supreme Court of
the United States. Should it be decided
in favor of the claimants, all the land
and houses which we had learned to con
sider our own would be suddenly taken
from us, and we be liable to suits for trespass
and the like. While such a suit was pending,
it is natural that we should all feel the deepest
interest in the result. Such was the case of
the De Haros' claim in California. Under a
grant, from the Mexican Government, the
De Haros had the use of the land now occupied
by the richest part of San Francisco. They
claimed it in fee. The Supreme Court has
decided, however, that they were merely
tenants at will, and that their tenantcy could
not be inherited by their descendants by deed
to the original De Haros. On this decision
Californians can sleep in peace, and not dread
the discovery that -all their lands and houses
belong to some unknown heirs of a wandering
grazier.
The Injunction Cases. A3 was anticipated,
the Supreme Court yesterday dismissed the
application of the States of Georgia and Mis
sissippi, in regard to an injunction restraining
the military officers fromexecuting the Recon
struction bill. The ground for the dismissal
was a want of jurisdiction. We think that
this termination of the case will materially aid
reconstruction. The last hope of the South
has now been thrown down. They have all
along vaguely stated that the Supreme Court
would interfere. They have no such pleasing
delusion in the future. They must rely on
themselves and the justice of the North. The
decision given yesterday will act as a powerful
stimulus to self-exertion.
THE SEIZURE OF UNITED STATES
I'OSTAUE STAMl'S.
Onr readers mav recollect a telegram from
our Washington correspondent, some days
ago, mentioning the institution of a suit ia
the Court of Chancery in tanauiv uy me
United States, to recover from the holders a
quantity of postage stamps, of the value of
$10,600, which, it is alleged, were taken from
the Electrio Spark a steamer sailing from
New York to New Orleans at the time of her
capture by the Rebel steamer Florida, on the
iuth of July, JetH. The booty was sent to
England, and after passing through the
hands of several persons, was trans
mitted to John Boyd and George Arthurs, of
ioronto, Canada, for sale. Uur uovernment
became aware of these facts, and despatched an
agendo Toronto, who, after the investigation,
claimed the stamps as United States property.
un tne refusal of the parties to give up the
stamps, an injunction was obtained from the
Court of Chancery to nravent their dis
posing of the property, and a commission
was issued to John W. Holcomb, of this city,
to take evidence in the case. The testimony
for the plaintiffs, represented by Mr. George
Morphy, of Toronto, Canada, assisted by Mr.
Ware, Solicitor of the Post-Office Depart
ment, has detailed the means and steps pru
dential for the interests of the Government,
by which the value of every postage stamp
iu the making is secured to it, and by whicn
in bulk it passes from the vault of the Na
tional Bank-note Company to the hands of the
user for postal purposes; and in this case it
has been directed to show the putting of the
stamps in question on the Electrio Spark, and
the transfer of the bags containing the stamps
to the Florida, at the time of the capture.
The testimony of former officers of the
Florida civea her aailinor from Mobile Bay in
the year 1802, having subsequently a crew of
chiefly of the South; that in her two years'
cruise she captured thirty -five United States
vessels, all of which, with the exception of
two or three which were bonded and one
sunk, were burned. Great care being taken,
however, to asoertain the value of the ships
and cargoes destroyed before the work of de
struction was commenced, with the view of
obtaining their value as prize money; that early
in July, 18(54, she ran down off the Jersey ooast,
w here, on the 10th of that month, the Electrio
Spark' heavily laden with stores and delica
cies for the Army of the Southwest, with many
passengers and an unusually largo mail, came
in sight; the Rebel hoisted the English flag,
and soon the vessel was under his guns, the
mails are transferred to the captor, the passen
gers put on board an English steamer, and
conscious of the danger of permitting his men
to riot among the tempting stores, Captain
Maffitt Bcuttled the ship. A few mouthsjafter
wards, meeting the United States sloop-of-war
Wa( husetts in the harbor Bahia San Salvador,
Brazil, the pirate was captured in defiance of a
fair truce stipulation, as is stated incidentally
bv tho gentlemen above referred to.
"The alleged release of the officers and men
of the Florida from Fort Warren is cited as
confirming the statement of the existence of
such a truce. Much other testimony has been
taken upon incidental points, and it concludes
with the offering of the stamps now claimed
to a Toronto banking-house in November, 1805,
through whose branch and correspondence
here information comes to the Government,
and these proceedings finally result.
The cross-examination, conducted by Mr.
W. B. McMurrich, of Toronto, has closely fol
lowed every link of the testimony, from
which, with other testimony, the defendants
expect to sustain their general denial of the
allegations of the bill of complaint. New

sprang into sudden and short-lived fame with
rocket-like rapidity several months ago, in
consequence of his production of a clever re

though it would not be fair to say that he has
"come down like a stick," he certainly shot
out of sight in his first adventure.
