IHE COjmiTMENT ABUSES,
"When Judge Brewster, last week in court,
lectured half-a-dozen aldermen upon their
criminal carelessness in committing persons
to prison, and in failing oftentimes to make
proper returns to the District Attorney, he
struck a blow at a system which has been,
and is, abused to the oppression of multitudes
of innocent and helpless people. It is always
unsafe to entrust nearly absolute power to
irresponsible men, even when they are wise
and pure. Our aldermen, as a rule, are not
very wise,and many ofthem are by no means
incorruptible; yet they possess and exercise
authority which has tremendous influence
over the happiness of a large clhbs of citizens.
An alderman commits persons to prison upon
the simple affirmation of their accusers.
There is no chance for the prisoner to give
his side of the story. Whether the charge is
true or false, the accused must either go to
prison to await trial or must procure bail. If
aldermen were infallible, or even always
honest and just, there would be little to com
plain of in this arrangement; but at present it
is open to serious objection and condemna
tion. Men and women are sent to
jail tvery day upon charges which
would at once be dismissed as foolish and
wicked by scrupulous magistrates. The
grievousnesß of this is lelt only by the poorer
classes. Those who are in better circum
stances are less liable to suck persecution by
enemies; and, in the event of accusation they
can obtain bail. But the very humble, the
friendless and the stranger —those who should
be best protected—suffer most. Countrymen
just airived in the city have been robbed and
then put out of the way in prison upon the
oath of the very thieves by whom they were
injured. Unable to obtain bail, they have
■ remained in confinement until, the prosecu
tors not appearing, the indictments have been
dismissed by the Grand Jury. Landlords have
got rid of tenants by trumping up some foolish
charge against them and placing them in
limbo to await trials which never took place.
Evil- minded husbands have disposed of their
wives, and wives of their husbands in the
same manner; and instances are not wanting
in which poor women have been sent to
prison upon the accus*tiqjiriJ&«nemies, while
their children were left to starve, and their
little household property was stolen in their
absence. The reports of the Prison Inspectors
and the Prison Agent contain suoh sad
■lories in sufficient quantity to fill a dozen of
these columns, and these are but a small por
tion of the whole number. It iB a record of
misery, and distress, and outrage, and op
pression, Which is disgraceful to this age and
this Christian city.
It would be bad enough and pitiful enough
if this were aIL We might then find more
fault with the system and IeBS with the magis
trates. It is a shocking evil to have an inno
cent man, upon whom a family depends tor
a living, imprisoned for a day. The law now
■eta him free if he is not tried within two
terms of the court alter a return of his ease is
made by the alderman. But aldermen, very
often, from carelessness, sometimes from
■beer wickedness and connivance with mall- Every test vote taken in the British House

The firßt grand cause of all this iniquity —; , „
and wrong doing, is the fee system, by which obscurely written telegram, yesterday
aldermen earn their living. A magistrate afternoon, was interpreted as announcing the

baa bail wady at band,he iaeompelled to pay
the usual commitment fee. This is illegal and
unjust, and yet it ia the common custom in •
a number of Justices’ offices in this city, and
no reform ia ever attempted: There would
be sufficient reason to complain if the proper
portion of thls eictorted money,with the fines,
went into the city , treasury, but it does not;
the aldermen, with rare exceptions, ppcke l
the proceeds of the fraud.
What Ib the beßt method of curing these
evils, which are productive of so much suf
fering and so much corruption —which place
inppcent men in the power of unscrupulous
enemies, and prostitute the law to the basest
purp: sea of tyranny ? Abolition of the fee
system, and giving salaries to the aldermen,
seems the moat natural. But while this would
make magistrates more impartial, it would
involve frightful expense, and still leave with
them power to do injustice. The institution
! of a court for the immediate trial, without
1 jury, of petty cases, would eflect good re
sults, but this would involve a troublesome
change in the fundamental law o! the State.
The next best method is to take away from
aldermen the power to commit persons to
prison. Let them retain authority to impose
email fineß, and to do all other business be
longing to their office but robbing men of
their liberty. Then let responsible gentle
men —say the Judges of our courts—appoint
magistrates, one for every three o
i four Wards—about eight or ten in the entire
city—and give to them alone authority to
make commitments. These men might have
small salaries given to them, with the right to
perform the usual functions of aldermen.
They could give security for proper conduct
of their business, and could bo required to
make returns of their commitments to the
! District -Attorney every morning. Thew
! WO uld be fewer trivial charges made, if ac
i cusers bad to travel longer distances to make
i them; and magistrates who abußed their power
i could, under this arrangement, more easily be
j detected and punished. This seems to be the
! most feasible plan for effecting reform; and
we know that, in its general features, it meets
with the approval of officers of the law who
perceive the enormous injustice of the pre-
E ent system, and whose opinions as to the
j best methods of correcting the evil are en
' titled to respect Certainly something should
j be done as soon aB possible. We oaly regret
j that Judge Brewster did not call attention to
1 the matter at an earlier day, so that the Le
; gislature might have been instructed to con -
! aider the necessity for, remodeling the whole
’ 1 .commitment system.
XJB.E SPANISH MISSION.
qt has probably been because the rapid
rotation of office under the present system of
our Government makes all positions in the
civil service eo uncertain, that so few men
have made foreign diplomacy a pursuit as a
regular profession. J. Randolph Clay, who
occupitd various diplomatic positions in
South America and Europe, for a succession
of years, wbb one of the few exceptions to
this general rule, and Henry B. Sanford is
another. Mr. .Sanford has spent the last
eight years of bis'diplom&tic life at Brussels,
with occasional visits to this country for the
purpose of getting the Belgian mission raised
to a first claes position, an endeavor which
: did not prove suecesßful. He is, of course,
i well versed in all the etiquette of European
; Courts and the routine of diplomatic busi
j ness. So long as purely ornamental work
: is to be dene abroad, nobody can doit better
i than Mr. Sanford, gracefully supported as he
! is by his accomplished and elegant wife.
But the Spanish Mission ia not to be an
ornamental one during the next few years.
Whoever is sent to Madrid must be a man of
far more breadth and positiveness of charac
ter than Mr. Sanford has yet manifested. Tne
questions that the American Minister will be
called to deal with will be grave and delicate
and difficult ones, and he must be a man
fully up to the advanced and advancing po
sition of President Grant’s Government; not
a mere master of routine, but a master of
great emergencies; wise, but bold; cautious
not to overstep the boundaries of a just policy,
but fearless iu maintaining the doc
trines aud in executing the purposes
of his Government at home. We do not an
ticipate that aßy hostile relations are to spring
up between the United States and Spain, but
there haß been nothing in Mr. Sanford’s diplo
matic career to warrant the belief that he
would or could so conduct the Spanish Mis
sion as to prevent such relations. It la true
that he has never been tried by any direct
test, but ther- has been so little in his diplo
matic career during the pa9t eventful eight
years to indicate any positiveness of character
as a public ma-i, that it may reasonably be
doubted whether h b diplomatic experience
in the quiet Belgian court has not unfitted,
rather than prepared him for the sterner re
sponsibilities of the Bpanish Mission.

EBpedtl Despatch to the Phllada. Evening BnUcttn-l
Washington, April 20 Four correspondent
has received letters from an American gentleman
In Cuba, giving information as to tbe condition
of affairs there, which can be regardod as per
fectly trastwortby. The writer, who, until re
cently, was with the insurgents, says that the tn
snrrectlon Is more extensive than Is generally
supposed, and that the success of the Cuban
cense is only a question of time. Tbe Insurgents
have about fifty thousand men under arms, dis
tributed over the Island. Bat of these not over
two-fifths are provided with fire-arms, while tbo
remainder are armed with large knives and sneb
other instruments as can be used to advantage In
close quarters.
Notwithstanding tbo strict surveillance which
is kept over the various largo harbors, several
email cargoes of assorted arms have been sne-
Eossfnlly landed and distributed.
The loaders are confident that with sufficient
aims fully one hundred and seventy-five thousand
men, incfadlDg the late slaves, can b ■ placed an,
der arms, which will, as they assert, be force
enoogb to drive the Spanish troops from the
mainland to the torts. Until they are freely
supplied with arms, their plans seem to bo to
divide Ihclr forces into small detachments, and
keep up a constant guerrilla Warfare, which
serves to divide the Spanish troops, and requir
ing them to be constantly on the march.
The wet season has began ranch earlier than
usnal this year, and this has given great encour
agement to the Insurgents, as It Is Indicative that
yellow fever is sure to prevail to an alarming ex
tent, Which will be likely to make fearfnl havoc
among the Spanish troops, who are not accli
mated, and are therefore liable to have their
ranks depleted from marching In the heat of tbe
day and lytog ont In heavy dews at night. If
the Bpsnlsh troops can be kept moving through
the rammer months, but little doubt is enter
tain* d that one-half or two-thirds will die with
sickntssbefore the cool weather agala appears.
The writer says that the Spanish troops are
being armed as rapidly as possible with Reming
ton rifles, which are bought in the United Btates
try the Spanish Government, bat that their disci
pline Is very bad. and It is with the greatest diffi
culty that the officers can control them or make
them obey orders.
It Is said here, with great positiveness, this
morning, that General Stecdman has effected a
landtag on the shores of Cuba with four or five
hundred men welt armed and equipped.
From Washington*

Tueboat. April 20.1869 -The weekly bank statements
are again highly favorable to an easy market ln the noar
fatal*. All the items, save one. show an Inare&ee, the
deposits leading off with $1*118.462; loans, $708,178; logni
tenders, $298,426, and a decrease in spools of $16,428. The
large increase in the deposits shows that the return cur
rent from the Interior has thoroughly eet io. It will be
noticed that the loans are cot expanding in proportion to
the increase of loanable funds, the b dance, no doubt,
being used to strengthen their legal resolves. As thcao

doubt, resume their former loans and discount opera

of coupons have been paid upon account of the antlcip v
ted May and July interest, under Secretary Bpottvell'a

market soon got over the effects of these influences, aod
a rrgular flurry was produced upon receipt of tbe ne *s of
Benator Lhai-dler’s warlike speech In distending Mi pro

Washington, April 20.— When the Senate met
to-day, Mr. Robb made a personal explanation
relative to tbe published accounts of bis later
view with tbe President, which he eaid were
grossly incorrect Ho entered at some length
into bis grievances In tbe matter ol tbe Kansas
appointments, claiming that- good Republicans,
wbo bad been gallant soldiers, were removed for
no other reason, tban that they were his friends.
Mr. Pomeroy replied, saying that in his opinion
the President’s eonrse with regard to these ap
pointments would be sustained by tbe people of
Kansas. Be said tbe persons removed were un
friendly to tbe Republican party, and two of
them bad rnn for office on the Democratic ticket.
Tbe adjournment resolution was called np by
Mr. Edmunds and opposed by Mr. Snmner.
It was announced that the'Senators bad infor
mation that the President wonld send in his last
batch of appointments to-day, and that they
wonld be few and unimportant.
Tbe resolution was finally amended to read
that when tbe Senate adjonrn on Thursday, it
adjourn without day, which will allow tbe ses
sion, if necessary, to be prolonged till Friday
noon, and was then passed.

succeeded in raising only $1,600, and not being
able to sustain himself, he disappeared. It ia be
lieved that he bas gone to Tepic, reiving on
Lerodo for assistance. Before Palacios left, he
pioclaimed in favor of Gen. Placedo Vegas as
Governor of Sinaloa. The proclamation created
but little sympathy.

Washington, April 20.— 1 n the Senate, imme
diately after the reading of the journal, Mr. Ross
took the floor and read a long personal explana
tion, characterizing the reports of his late inter
view with President Grant as being grossly ex
aggerate. Be then denounced Grant's removal
of men from offlee, merely because they had
been appointed by Johnson, and also went into a
vindication of his own general coarse daring last
year, and said bltfntnre support of the adminis
tration should neither be blind nor subservient.
The Bet ate took np Ur. Edmnnds's resolution
fixing the adjournment sine die on Thursday, at
4 o'clock P. M.
After a debate in which Messrs. Sumner and
Pomeroy argned that the Senate conld not get

modification omitting tbe boar.

pointments made, two of whom are colored men.
One is Robert R. Douglass, son of Frederick
Douglass, and the other James E O. Hare, who;
. was clerk in tbe North Carolina Constitutional
Conventicn.
The rush of visitors at tbe appointment office
of tbe Treasury was intolerable today, so that
tbe appointment clerk was compelled to station a
door-keeper, with instructions to admit no one
until 12 o’clock.
There was also a large crowd at the-Internal
Revenue Bureau.
Lieutenant-Commander A. G. Kellogg la or

New Tork Honey market.
ISpeclal Despatch to the Philadelphia Evenlns Banatha.]
New York, April 20 The money market is
very qntet, with an abundant supply at 7 per
cent, on all classes of collateral. Thehanks lend
liberally.and are daily strengthening their position
by receipts from tbe interior. Disconots are
rather more active.but on account of the accu
mulation of paper during the recent stringency,
little change bas yet been produced in rates.
Prime paper rates at 10@12 pei cent., with ex
ceptions at 9.
Gold has been strong, opening at 133% and
advancing to 134%, principally ’sustained by a
corner In gold and the complications in Caban
afflairsand tbe Alabama treaty. ’ The gold loan
market is easier, and raugea from two per cent,
for currency to flat, 3-61 for borrowing. Ex
change is dull at 108. for prime bills.
Governments are %@% per cent, lower on the
entire list, owiDg to the decline in Five-twenties
in London, to which tbe local market responds.
There have been many sales to realize, the recent
abort advance principally coming from tbe banks
and holders in tbe interior. In Stato bonds, new
North Cardinal, are weak, and heavily pressed at
53, owing to rnmors that the State bas loaned its
credit to the amount ol four millions to the Wil
mington, Charlotte and Rntberiord Railroad
Tennessee 6’e firm at 65% for old and 67 for new,
an rnmors that the July interest will be certainly
paid.
Tbe stock market sbowß less speculative inte
rest than daring the last three or four days, and
is dull and low. The chiei feature is Pacific Mail,
in which a bear movement was inaugurated,
forcing tbe price down 2 per cent, to 92%,though
a subsequent recovery to 93% was noticed. Read
ing is noticeably strong at 95%. The rest of the
list bas no special feature. Express and miscel
lantoas shares are ail firm.

Cubans in this city have been working quietly
but assiduously to aid their brother revo
lulionists In the field by tbe shipment of men.
money and mnnitione to them. Volunteering is
going on very rapidly but very quietly, and the
recruits are promptly forwarded in small detach
ments to Cuba. Very recently a full battery of
fit Id artillery, completely equipped and manned,
was despatched, and information bas been re
ceived of its safe arrival.
Recruiting Is progressing rapid'y at the Brook
lyn Navy Yard. The report that twenty vessels
are to be made ready for service is untrue. There
are only eight that eould be made serviceable ia
a few weeks, and the only one that is actually
preparing for tea is the practlce-Bhip Sabine,
which carries tbirty-slx guns.
A club-house for ladies was opened yesterday at

will be devoted to sleeping purposes for ladies
visiting the city, who may not wish to go alone
to hotels. Breakfast will be served to them, but
no other meals will be given at present. The
hotipo Is to bo elegantly famished.
Tbe amount of tbe defalcation of Mr. Peck,tbe
absconding warehouseman, turns out to be much
less than was first announced. It is now re
duced to $150,000. Tbe warehouse ln Brooklyn

injunction made fay Judge Gilbert.
The Brooklyn Board of Aldermen yesterday
