BULLING THE TRICE OF GOLD.
From the tf. Y. 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.

Gents: On the night of the 22d ultimo, our store,
No. 20 South street, was entered, and a desperate at
tempt made by burglars upon ono of your safes In our
counting-room.
The key to the safe n which we kept our securities
was locked Inside of onr tire-proof book safe, the
doors of which were literally cut to pieces; from this
they obtained the key to the other safe aud opeued
it. Fortunately we had one of your Burglar-Proof
Banker's Chests inside, in which our valuables were
deposited. This they went to work at with a will,
and evidently used up all their time and tools in vain
attempts to force it. The night was dark and stormy,
and the fact of their knowing where our key was
kept shows that their plans were well matured. They
tried wedging the door and body of the Chest, and
the faithful safe bears evidence of the labor and skill
devoted to the work. All was useless, and It Is with
great satisfaction we report that upon opening It we
found our securities all safe, and can therefore cheer
fully Indorse tho Burglar-Proof work recommended
by you.
You will please send the new safe purchased by us
to our counting-house, and take the old one, to show
