Tribune, Tho Treasury holds a flnrphm of at leant sixty millions of icold, which oiilit lonjr sImco to lmvo lceu used to puv oil public debt, nnd tluw reduce Our annual burden of Intercut. Tlmt irold would once since we held it have bought eighty mil lions of six per cents.; it would still buy over eeventy millions. Tho sooner it Is employed "for tho purchase or payment" of bonds, as the law directs, tho better for tho public interest. Such a hoard, lying dead, makes tfold srarco and bonds plentiful in the channels of business, Whereas it is tho public interest, In view of tha Urgent need of fundliur our debt at lower rates Of Interest, that cold should abound and bonds le seareo. Tho Treasury stands in its own light In nllowin? a dollar of coin beyond its current needs to rest in the Treasury. The operators for n rise have managed to put tip tho premium on gold; and this they can do Bo long as the Treasury backs them by hoarding cold. Every dollar thus hoarded Is carried for their benefit. If the Treasury held but ten mil lions of coin, they could not keep up cold to anything like its present premium, But, so long as the Treasury holds on to one hundred millions, they can manage and manipulate the residue with ease. Tutting up tho premium on gold is playing right into the hands of tho Secretary, assuming that ho wishes to uso his surplus coin to reduce the public debt. If he can Hull gold at HO and lmy bonds at 115, every million of his cash will buy up over one million and a quarter of bonds. He ought to thauk the gamblers for helping him to so favorable an opportunity, and Improve it to the utmost. Instead of ono million of bonds per week, ho should buy up five, ten, fifteen, twenty millions all that he can get at anything like the present prices of bonds and gold respec tively. We do not believe he will ever agaiu see a week wherein ten millions of gold will buy up Bo large an amount of bonds as at this moment, lie should buy buv bnv so long as $1,000,000 in gold will purchase $1,100,000 of tho national debt and ho has a surplus of gold to sell. Such, we cannot doubt, is his intention. He may buy but $1,000,000 this week; but, if the great dis- Earity between gold and bonds shall continue, e will buy more and more bonds from week to week hereafter. So crowd up the premium on coin, Messrs. Gold Gamblers ! so that our gold Bhall servo to wipe out as many bonds as pos sible l SOUTHERN STATE INDEBTEDNESS AND THE CARPET-BAG LEGISLATURES. Trom the N. Y. Ucrald. It is demonstrable as a problem in geometry that the credit of our ditlereut State govern ments should keep pace with the appreciation of tho national credit. We do not llud this to bo the case, however, with the bonds of our South ern States when compared- either with Northern Eecuries or with Government five-twenties. The reason is to be found in the fact that they are in tho hands of speculating Legislatures, who have frittered away the little money iu the State treasuries instead of applying it to the payment of interest. These carpet-baggers have little or no interest in the welfare of the people among Whom they are sojourning further thau to make the most money possible out of them. I f they can fct possession of the Btock of a railway they issue tate bonds for its aid or relief, aud so heap tip tho State indebtedness. The past due interest is left to care for itself or is paid by the pawn brokerage of new bonds. The securities of our ISoutheru States are far below their real value. Their oppressive, speculating lawmakers sit brooding upon their credit and warn away legi timate investment. With tho advantages which tho whole region of the South possesses for be coming wealthy, not only through its agricul tural iiroducts of cotton, tobacco, and Bugar, but ' through its immense water-power aud manufac turing facilities, it ought to rival the Eastern States, and its credit be as good as.that of Mas- ; eachusctts. The South is the present sufferer Jrom the corruption of those who thus control its State governments. When these same men come in their turn to Congress and take part in the law making of the whole country, we shall find them well trained for the undertaking of gigantic jobs and swindles similar to the Taeille Railway and the whisky frauds. DR. GLADSTONE'S DIAGNOSIS. Trim the S. Y World. It has been apparent, for some time, that the medicine prescribed by Mr. Gladstone for the Irish disease would prove ineffectual for the cure of the patient. In spite of tho soothing Byrup of tho Irish Church bill aud the mollifying effects of amnesty plasters applied to Fenian sores, the febrile symptoms still continue to dis Tibiv themselves with alarming freuueucv and violence, and the patient still requires the atten tion of a large body of armed watchers to pre vent him doing fatal iujury in his paroxysms of rage. His friends are naturally anxious about Liin, and plenty of fault is found with the treat ment practised by his physicians. Some of them roundly assert that Dr. Gladstone is mistaken in his diagnosis, and that, while ho is treating tho patient for the sentimental disease of the Church, the sick man is, iu fact, laboriug under an acute attack of the land fever. Among theses complainers is Earl Grey, who flatly asserted the other day in the House of Lords that, unless the Government did something at the present session of Parlia ment towards settling tho land question In Ire laud, they must be held morally responsible for all the murders of landlords, bailiffs, and factors - that may be committed during the next twelve ' months. That is a very plain statement, and probably it was received in Ireland with some eatisfactlou aud approval. It is a confession that the land laws of Ireland are so extremely oppressive that llcsh and blood or, at least, - Irish llesh and blood caunot be expected to . endure them, aud that the offense of breaking . thorn rests not upon the violator of the laws, but upou the government which has framed and insists on attempting to enforce them. The peculiar and popular form in which resistance to tho Irish land laws is generally manifested, is the murder of landlords or landlords' agents; fcut, in Earl Grey's opinion, these murders are not murders, but uuavoidubki accidents resulting irom the attempt to enforce laws that should not bo enforced. The Government had made many vague promises concerning land reforms . Whicli they proposed to introduce in Ireland alter a while; but they had now declared they could do nothing until next year. Meanwhile, - the Irish people "were getting to believe that Borne measure was about to be passed in consistent with tho principles which the legislature had hitherto recognized in dealing with proprietary rights." Thev were determined upon having two reforms fixity of tenure and compensation for im . provemcnts. "Fixity of tenure" meauB that the landlord shall not have the power to eject his tenant and shall not raise his rent; 'compensation fur improvements" means that tho landlord must pay tlio tenant for all the im provements of whatever kind ho chooses to make upon his farm. With these two provisions lit mly incorporated In the law, tho tenant would Lave the game in his own hands. In no case could he bo dispossessed: in no case could ho be compelled to pay a higher rent; and in every case the cost of all the new buildings, fences, drains.. mid ditches which ho put on his farm : would come out of his landlord's pocket, and would not cost him a shilling, the improve ments would bo of no advantage to tho land lord: thev would bo of advantage to the tenant; but tho landlord must pay for them, and tho tenant must reap tho profit from them. Earl Grey is iucilued to tho use of strong lan guage, but no scurcoiy exaggeraiea wnen ue saiu , that these two demands, on which tho Irish farmers had set their hearts, would result iu ! ''nothing more or less than absolute confiscation , of the land." Tho longer tho government do '. layed informing the country of the policy which j they proposed to adopt on tills question, the pore gcuguL would vwvm Uiu belief awojisj the people that they were to have affairs ar- I ranged in accordance with their own Ideas, and I the more prone they would be to murder land lords who inslstod on tho rights which tho pre sent laws gave them. 1 ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES. J From the N. Y. WorUL I Tho London Spectator approaches Mr. Sumner very closely In political bias. Its lntcnso anti slavery foeling, among other tilings, kept it during tho Southern Rebellion in an attitude of friendliness towards tho North and unfriendli ness towards the South. What it says of Mr. Sumner's syeceh has, therefore, especial interest. Tho point and purpose of a long article thereon, In its Issue of May 1, aro to enforce the distinc tion it draws between the moral culpability and tho legal culpability of England towards tho United States. First, as to moral culpability. Tho Spectator admits that tlio tono of Parliament and of tho uppermost stratum of the English people was, at the beginning of our civil war, In tlio highest degree unfriendly to us of the North; that tho furnishing, fitting out, nnd escaping of the Alabama and other cruisers constituted a symp tom of this deliberate unfriendliness; that another symptom was tlio confidence with which tho South applied for a loan in London, and for the ships and munitions of war In which they invested the loan which they obtained; that this unfriendliness of the aristocracy and middle classes towards the North daunted the Ministry "in its rather hesitating aud tremulous attempt to preserve a friendly attitude towards tho Gov ernment of the United States;" and finally, that had our case been theirs had the upper crust of the United States expressed its hearty sympathy with on Irish rebellion, raised a loan for it, and sent out privateers under an Irish Hag to scour tho seas In search of British commerce they should in all probability have cither declared war with the tinted States, or, If deterred from that course by a mere prudent calculation of consequences, still have been thoroughly dis inclined to condone the offense nnd resume cor dial international relations with the United States without extracting from our Government something more than a dry contract to refo the legal claims ol injured individuals to arbi tration. All this, says the Spectator, is moral culpabi lity, the infliction of moral damage, nnd not to be treated in any sense as a question of pecuniary damage. For this moral wrong we nre entitled to nn apology nnd expression of regret, but not to additional reparation in money. Secondly, ns to legal culpability. Of such was the case of the Leopard boarding the Chesapeake, which was a monstrous breach by England of in ternational law; and of such, too, was the incursion into our territory across tlio Canadian border in 1S37. But the Spectator denies that England, from beginning to cud of tlio Rebellion, com mitted, ns to us, a clear breach of neutral obli gation. We, however, think differently, and, in consideration thereof, England consents to equitable arbitration to decide if that power did violate the rules of international law in the Alabama case or that of her consorts. If the arbitrator decides against England, then let u commission assess the damage. But, till that decision is made, England cannot, and will not, confess her legal culpability. This, since Sumner's speech, is the tone of one of the most friendly journals we have had in London. In respect to the geueral character of the speech, the former admirer and champion of Sumner in England speaks thus: "What astonishes us Is not the sentiment of his speech, which Is manly, natural, and patriotic, nor in any considerable degree Its practical counsel (to reject the convention), which we can ut least, fully understand; but the extraordinary mixture of strictly sentimental with strictly legal considerations which pervades it throughout. Now, what is it, then, which Mr. Sumner calmly proposes to us all even those who, like ourselves, approach him most closely In political bias? Simply this: to submit our political and legal consciences in tho most aWj.'ct manner to a dugina which not a single man amongst us worth a moment's consideration holds to be true to confess a kyal guilt of which we are entirely un conscious, and this as a condition nine qua mm of re conciliation with tho I'utted states. Vhs anything so monstrous ever proposed on this earth before by any man taking the rank of a statesman '! ' In short, Air. Sumner's legal argument is a very poor ex parte statement of the United States' case, without even a pretense of a judicial discussion. Mr. Sumner has nothing to say which has not been heard a hun dred times before, though he suppresses a great deal which has also been heard a hundred times before, and whicli seems to ns of much greater weight. But what he does say. instead of being put forward as proof that there is something to discuss for which only it would serve is unfortunately put forward as proof that there Is nothing to discuss whicli it not only does not prove, but disproves." THE CAIRNES CASE ONCE MORE. From the X. Y. Tribune. We published on Thursday last the letter of "An Old and Constant Reader," who thinks that "the law provides no adequate redress to the injured party.or, in other words, does not Inflict adequate punishment for seduction and adul tery." While we agree with our correspondent that well-marked offenses of this character are deserving of severe penalties, we beg leave to suggest that tho deficiency of tho law probably arises, in a measure, from the difficulty of de termining upon a penalty which shall be no more than just and equitable. About most crimes there is n monotonous uniformity of character; oue theft or ono forgery is almost exactly like another. But in cases of seduction and adultery, it may well happen that tho man of weak will and of riotous passions is really the tempted and injured party. To send lilm to prison, while his paramour remains at largo, receiving me sympathies ot an indiguant but rather thick-headed public, is to treat a man with injustice and a woman with uumerited leniency. It does not follow because a woman resents the faithlessness of one who has stolen her virtue, or because she waylays and assassi nates him, that she is not herself at all to blame. Probably there are at many Dalilas now us iu tho days of tho unfortunate Samson, who said: "How cunningly the sorceress displays Her own transgressions to upbraid me mine." Now, in order to arrive if we can at a dispas sionate estimate of the proportionate delin quency on each side, in cases like these, let us look at the late case of Martha J. Calrucs iu Maryland. There is no evidence that the woman is or lias been ut any time Insane. For a vic tim of cruel deception, she appears to have been all along uncommonly strong-minded. She shoots her laitliless lover, and, inaiigru the remonstrances of the judge, she is found "not guilty," she is feted and caressed as a heroine, she marches away free, and by tho fiction o the law innocent, iilniil. t the appending shout-, of a mob of line ladies and gentlemen. The man she sent suddenly to a niieicr limn uny eaithly uccount, Willi all his inipi i lcctlons oil his head, is in his grave nnd cannot tell his side of the story. But here Is certainly a woman who, according to all the nib-u by which we ordinarily determine character, ha a degree of mental energy which ml-bt imni protected her against the wrong of which idic complains, and to avenge winch she couiiiiitle.i) a thoroughly murderous murder. According to all bur presumptions, which in this allalr'wus the tempted nnd betrayed parly ? What man, unless of a courage unusually Indomitable, would care to marry a woman capable ol doing this tlung Vet, while juries insist that women under the lniluencu of rage, niorlillcaiion, and disappointment may kill with impunity, we shall continue to read in tho news ,ape,s that Miss A. yesterday shot Mr. B. for reiurdii" to marry her u, he hud promised to do. We say distinctly that this is to make lclony fash- iiiu uiii-iiBuuiueni. is ,t t aj that this would at once have taken the romance out of tlio whole affair '( But a verdict of "guilty" meant tho halter, and the jury shrank from strangling tlio woman. By tlio theory of tlio law she should have been put to death, and she simply goes scot-free a liouness of the rarest description ! 'obody, we faucy, will accuse the Tribunu of. Junes, of course, refuse to km,;, women guilty of aking their revenge into their own hands and so instances of this really indefensible r i ,e contrary as ,t Is to the whole spirit of the law are multiplied. But suppose Martha J Calrnci had been found "cu ltv" and . ... ,mhh bclii indifferent to wTongs against tho virtue of woman. We have always, to the best of our ability, urged that seduction and adultery are crimes worthy of suitable punishment. Hut ordinary punishment was not what this Mary land woman wanted. Nothing less than tho life of her victim would satisfy tho stomach of her deep rcvengo. It is not by any means certain that she would have been satislled with tho con Mgnmcnt of tlio faithless man to tho peniten tiary. Such nn expiation she Would have re garded as grossly Inadequate. We hold all hu man life, whether under conditions of gu.lt or Irnoeencc, to be Inexpressibly sacred. VVc ai-o clad that Martha J. t'airncs is not to be haivcd; but whoever undertakes to convince ns thitshe Reserved ovntion Imdcad of discipline, will lind the labor of his logic lost. ENGLISH DISCUSSION OF THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. From the A". 1'. Time. It Is very clear that the London press has ma terially changed the tone of it comment upon Mr. Sumner's speech, in one particular. Its first indignant outcry, on the reception of that speech, was that America had made frcsli pecu niary demands, preposterous in their amount. The London Times figured them at exactly 422,000.000: tho London News nt about 500. 000,000; the London Herald at a sum equivalent to our national debt; nnd so on. We, on this side of tho water, know very well that our people have never expected.nevcr even dreamed, of any such demands being presented, much less paid. Before Mr. Sumner's speech, nobodv ever broached such a proposition. The idea that Great Britain had wronged this country bv the issue of the Queen's proclamation, in 18(il, was generally held, though not a few influ ential journals and public men denied that position, and denied also that, in any case, it had anything whatever to do witlt the Ala bama claims. But even tho more popular theory did not pretend that this alleged wrong could be made the subject of pecuniary damages. It was never imagined that, however the war mav have been "prolonged by British sympathy" with the insurgents, or by the over-prompt accordance to them of belligerent rights, these matters were now to be squared off in cash. This lost discovery it was reserved for Mr. Sumner to make. Or, rattier, this last discovery it was reserved for Mr. Sumner to intimate for it would be in justice to that Senator to suppose that even he, accustomed as he is to go to all extremes of statement in the lincof "an idea,"could actually maintain such a proposition in positive terms. The trick of Mr. Sumner's rhetoric was this: lie first pictured the unfriendly conduct of Eng land towards our Government.' from May, lSiil, down to tho sinking of the Alabama, in strong colors; ho then passed to tho costs of our war; aud, finally, without directly stating any con nection between these points, urged that the whole of these costs omjht, from her "moral re sponsibility," to be met by Great Britain. And this wc call a "trick" of rhetoric, because, since the people of this country feel, nnd have a per fect right to feel, as strongly as Mr. Sumner pos sibly can, tho justice of 'the specific Alabama claims, and the responsibility of England on one or another ground for that ship, the very vigor of his statements on these points gained ap plause for the entire speech, though in the whole diplomatic discussion hitherto, and in the whole popular discussion also, v.o such pre posterous inference of fastening half of our war debt on Great Britain was ever thought of, ami is not now. Exactly what Mr. Sumner said en this point was this: "The liebelMon was suppresse 1 nt a cost of more than four ihnnsHiid million dollars, n considerable portion of which has been already paid, lewlng twenty-five hundred millions as a national debt to burden the people. If, through British intervention, the war was doubled iu duration, or in any way ex tended, as cannot be doubted, then is England justly responsible for the additional expenditure to which air country was doomed; nnd, whatever may be the llnai settlement of these great accounts, such must be the judgment In any chancery wtiich con sults the simple equity of the case."' Here, with sonic rhetorical flourish, Mr. Sum ner, as we have said, first explains the size of our debt, and then declares that England is respon sible "for such additional expenditure" as her own action caused or, as he loosely phrases it, "to whicli our country was doomed." Now, any man in his senses can see, nnd doubtless Mr. Sumner, having his senses, sees, that tills "addi tional expenditure" is nn incomputable amount. On the very face of It, it is not iv matter to lie reckoned as exact pecuniary damages. You might as well ask the commission to decide how large the moon looks to them ono man taking it to be as big as a dinner plate, another as big as a cart-wheel, and the "arbitrator" deciding that it is the size of a Cheshire cheese. The "additional expenditure" is just what we may choose to think it is, even as we may say that it consists of one month's expenses or three years'. The folly of this estimate as a practical settle ment Is sulliciently evident to say nothing of the point it confuses iu international law. The English press, however, were not to blame for jumping at first to the conclusion which Mr. Sumner's loose logic seems to convey. But, after "driving a coach aud six" through that logic, and back agaiu through tlio rhetoric, they have concluded, and very properly, that the American people nt least never could have made that pecuniary demand, whatever else they may ask. And, ns a matter of fact, save for one or two wild propositions, like the Tribunes, to "take Canada In payment," made purely from sensa tional motives, nnd speedily dropped, without response, in public scatiment, no such prepos terous pecuniary claim as the English papers first saw, has ever been broached. We shall freely ndmit, however, that, embit tered bv war memories, the present disposition of the American people seems to be not to cuter into negotiations for tho settlement of the Ala bama dispute, without a prior acknowledgment of the national responsibility of England (by reason of her governmental action at various times) for the reparation of the damages Inflicted by the Alabama. As this position Is one which England Is not likely to concede, wc shall pro bably have no settlement ut present; but at least we can "agree to disagree. It Is a position, nevertheless, whose justice has been substan tially conceded by a small part of the English press, though never by the English Government, it Is also at least a comprehensible position; and wo are clad to see the English papers substituting it for tlio one culled from Mr. Sumner's speech, and attributed at first to our people; we havonot yet quite lost our wits as a nation.
