England comes firat, nd is, in roality, more than & mateh for all the others combined, Thon, in tho order named, tome Russid, Germauy, Franco, Austris, Italy, Turkey, Spain, and the Netherlands. Tho naval torce of Spain consists of soven plated frigates of 5,900-horse-power and 145 guns, in additionto » const-flect of three turretod ships of 1,800- horse-power, carrying nine guns. Thore is o differonce of opinion as to whether Spain's lato difficultios st home havo had the offect of strengthening the condition of her existing navy or of weakening it. —— The freedom of tho press in Gormany, as com- pared with that in this country, is shown by o rocont case which occurred at Bonn. The caso # waa that of tho manager of the Deutsche Reichs- Zeitung, published in that city, who, whon sum- moned by the publio prosecutor, refused to dis- oloso the name of a porson who had written o violent artiolo in his paper against Dr, Reinkons, tho Bavarian Old Catholic Bishop. The local Court i4sued adocroe punishing the managor for contumacy, and the Buprome Tribunal of Bovaria confirmed the decreo, so that the ap- pellant {s likaly to romsin in prison untjl ho do- cides to disclose the name of the writor in ques- tion. It will be remomberod that only s fow wecks ago, an attempt of tho Brooklyn Court to punish Mr. Bhanks, the oity editor of tho New York ZTribune, under simllar clroumatances, failed. Wo publish alaowliore a note from Mr, Willism H.

Mr, Herndon ga- knowledgos that a part of tho materials for tho chapter on Mr. Lincoln's roliglous views wero found among tho paperst furnished by him (Herndon) to Col. Lamon, but says that he is not responsible for thoir use by the author of the book. He sssorts, howaver, that tho sketol «given in that chapterisa correct ono ; and states that ho may, at some future time, publish a ro- Ply to the ssssults mado upon him, in this con- nootion, by Dr, Holland and the Rev. Afr, Raed, E—————— A singular controvoray has arisen in Omahe betwaon tho Union Paclfio Railroad Company and tho Pullman Palsco-Car Company, which has ot last got into the courts, The oontrovers y grows out of the fact that the Slaoping-Car Com- pany ellows s passenger who has but ona rail- xoad tlckot to appropriate a wholo seotion, aud sometimes an entlro drawing-room.

Thero was somo ill-ndvised talk, tho Govornmont admits, by the Opposition journala of Madrld, but it was promptly supprossed. Tho British Ministor at Modrid has had o protractod conferonco with President Ong- telar, Dbut nothing is publishod of its objects or rosults. An auspiclons fact is that rocoursa to arbitration which has boon suggested In this country is nlso mentionod with spproval at Madrid. Dispaiches from that olty §0 8O far 08 to namo tho umpire in Emporor Wiltinm, I thia is indicativo of the fooling of Castalar and his Government, thon thoro can bo little fear that Le will allow himeclf to bo hurried into war, Tho email-pox is making such fonrful ravagos in Cloveland that tho Board of Hoalth hns boon compolled to adopt special procautionsto provent its spread.

Wo havo no desire to un- nocessarily alarm people, but the fact is indubitd- blo that tho discasy oxists horo, and is linble to inoreaso, nod wo are rapidly approaching the #0ason when it always rages with most violonce. Prompt action may avert suy sorious results, ‘Thero ia no danger that intelligent peoplo will not take care of themselves, but the poor and bl ol norant classes, who do not know low to take caro of themselvos, aro tho ones most exposed toit, and some provision should bo mado for thom immodiately. ———— It 18 nu futoresting question which has come up in Judgo Blodgett's Court on & motion that tho Manufacturera' National Bank of this city shallboadjudgeda bankrupt. The Hon, 0. B, Law- renco, on the part of the bauk, maintsina that, though the Nétional Bankruptcy nct was passod subsequently to tho passago of tho National Curroncy act, it was not the intention of Con- greas to reponl theroby the provisions of the lat ter law a8 regards the adjustmont of the affaira of ingolvent National Banks, Ho contonds that the affairs of n National Bank can only bo wound up under the National Gurrency act, which pro- vides for voluntary liquidation or the appoint- ment of & Rocoiver by the Comptroller of tho Curroncy, who has also the power of romoval, Judge Lawrence presented on Baturdsy several discropancies in the adjustmont under tho Our- renoy Act and the Bankrupt law, The caso is to o further argued by counse! during tho prosent weol, and, na it ia tho first time, wo believe, that the issuo has over been prosented, tha decision will bo of epecial intorest. Tho real quostion at issuo is whother or not National Banks can, upon dofault of payment, be thrown into bank- ruptey, go that their affairs can be adjusted in court. The people of Ilinois, outsido of Ohieago, ara slowly waking up to the faot that tho State Auditor, Board of Equalization, and Springfield bondholders' ring have got them by the thront.

They bave packed upon Cook County tho paymontof the principal, or the largor sharo of it. Tho annual intorest is collectod from the othor counties. By dint of Loeping up = Bories of low-minded attacks upon Chicago in the columns of the Springfield nows- papers, thoy cxpect to deceive tho rostof the State, and mako thom believe that no harm will come ta them, whilo the bloated aristoorats of Ohicago are forcod to shell out, Smem——— Tho later developmenta of the Cuban maesncre donot justity the warlike attitude which was 50 hastily essnmod in this country, Tt Ia now sald to bo dofluntoly nacertained that Gon. Ryan hed made n contract with the Cuban {nsurgants, by which Lo was to receive 820,000 in gold if ke bhonld succeed in landing his mon and arms in Gubn, If this ia truo, it tukos tho rommnoe out of Gon, Ryan's caso. A patriotis ono thing and » spooulator another, A hoero for pay hag nover boen regarded with a groat deal of sdmi- ration, and if Gen., Ryan wag & profossional fllibuater, carrylng aid to tho Cuban insurgenta for money, as ho fhight have carrled it to tho Bpeniards, if. they had needed i}, for a like consldoration, we cnn begin to eave some of our sympathy and resentment for a woro trying emorgoncy. If a Government may not proteok itself attor ita own fashion against men who aid in a rebellion for pay, thon thoro is certainly no condition of things in which it may nusert its suthority ovor ita own territory withe out courting tho intorforence of foroign Powera, Wao mey doprecate the mannor adopted by the Sponiards for protecting thomselves agalnat raldera; but unless this manner I8 so barbarous a8 to bo uttorly obnoxious to the whole clvilized world, and to call for the armed {nterforsuce of the civilized Powers on this ground, it Ja not o ronsonablo protest for w Thoro have boon Tunors for some months that tho sttempt would bo made to Induce tho next Longress to guarantse the Northern Paalflo Ralt rond bonds, It now appoars that s combination to this end- wns mado by the Northorn Pacific and tho Toxas & Taclflc Rallway Companies mora {han a yoor ngo, A potition was drawn up and slguod by tho officors of both Companlos, but it was not prosontod at tho last ‘Congrass, owing to the oxposure of tho Credit-Mobillor frauds, which, it was folt, would complotoly crush out tho schiomo, The Now York Tribune prosonts somo of the details of tho plan. It was proponod that tho Governmont should ‘gunrantas, without any equivalont or cousidaration, 6 por cont fntorest in gold on tho bonds of both Com- panles, jnsucd av tho rato of £40,000 a mile for all tho rond yot to bo built. This would include all that portion of tho projocted Northorn Pacific west of tho Mlissourl Rivor, and of the Toxas & Paolfle west of Longview and Toxar- kaus, o dlstanco of 8,000 milen. Tho total amount of bonds thus issued would bo $120,000,~ 000, nud tho annunl intorost $7,200,000, Thoso who Lave rond Horr Hass' roport on Northern Paciflc will not doubt that the Goverument would have to pay this intorest for many yoars, sud it scoms that tho proposition made no pro- vision for reimbursing the Govornment, but only for a sfuking-fund of 1 per cont gold, payablo semi-aunually, Lo bo st asido for the redomption of the bonda at par. If tho proposition is re- vived, it i probable that the Companios will ofter fo surroudor tho romaindor of their land~ graut on condition that thegnarauteo thoy dosire 8hall bo oxtended to thom. It is not improbablo that tho holdars of tho Soutliern carpot-bag boods will combine with the baukrupt railway companios in thoir rald on the next Congross, — Tho statoment 13 now mado that there wero alxtoon Dritish subjocts among the men exeontod by tho Spanish suthorities at Bautiago do Cuba to about half that numborof Americans. It oppears, nlso, that the Dritish ofclala wore troated s contemptuously as tho reprosontatives of the United States, Burriel, tho Governor, refusod to rocognizo the protest of tho British Vica-Consul, and likowiso doolined to consider the requost of tho British Commodore at Jamai- ©3, that tho executlon of the Englich subjocts sliould bo doforred untlt ho could dommunleato with tho suthorities in porson. If theso stato~ monts be correct, England has as much causo for war ag tho United Statos, and her history shows that sho has nover boon slow to sssort her rights snd mointain thom. Yot we havo Loard nono of the rumors of war from Groat Britain that have beenso industriously sproad about in this country, The only stop taken by the British Govornment 80 far has been to protest ngainst further oxecutions of British subjeots, and to instruct the reprosentatives of tho Goy- oroment in Cuba to investigate tho Virginius affair thoroughly. It would have beon well if our own Governmont had proceeded with like doliboration, Thero would not, in that case, have beon the warlike feeling which now exiats both in Spain and this country, and the United Statos Minister at Madrid would not have boon throat- oned with violence, The British Government is ovidently desirous of satiafying iteclf that it has o casus belli bofore it makes any hostilo mani~ fontations. Tho attitudo of tho pooplo of Eng- land in this affair has been much more dignified and consistent than our own; and wo cannmot now reasonably talk of interferemce on the ground of humanity without firat consulting Great Britain, —— WAR V8, ARBITRATION, § The Boxrd of Trade of Cincinnati, by formal mfiuxuuyn, has suggosted that, boforo resorting to war with Spain concerning tho capturo of tho Virginius and the execution of hor passongors and orew, we should appoal to tho romedy of arbitration. The suggestion is a timoly one. The United States have ostablished tho prine oiplo of intorhationsal arbitration as n means of avorting war—or at least havo recommonded it as proferable to war, Grent Britain and the TUnitod States furnished the oxampla to all other nations of tho wisdom, efficiency, and Luomanity, not to say ecomomy, of a poaceful adjust- ment of angry disputes and national wrongs by the decision of an impartial tribunal, The procodent of tho Goneva Arbitration has won the approval and applauso of the civilized world, and has furnished maokind & mothod by which war, with all its attendant ovils and ca- lamitics, may bo averted. It baa beon but a few wocks sinco the compensation docracd by the Court of Arbitration to be paid by Great Britain Lasbeen receivod into tho National ‘Troasury, and, strangely enough, it is vehemently pro- posod that tho firat use to which this monoy shall bo appliod eball bo in a war with Spain, oven bofore that Government has had time to col- leot tho roports of hor own officers. What & cone trast! For sovon years we prosonted oursotves be- fore tho nations of tho world as a poople grossly and meanly outragod, who, while able to take yon« geance and punish the sggressor by war, pro- ferred to onduro the injury rather than sacrifice ‘ono human lifs, untll overy peacoful modo of sottlement was exhausted. Our patienco was amply rewarded. Groat Britaingwas compolled, by tho opinion of the world, to submit the mat- tor in dispute to arbitration, and our pesceful viotory has been justly claimed a8 far eclipaing any that was over sccomplishoed by arms, How stands tho caso with Spain? Bhe, too, in struggling with a oivil war, The Republio has occasion for all its atrength to maintain {tself trom day to day. Tho subordinate authorlties of & port in the remato Island of Cubs and the commandor of an armed vossel heve moized upon the high seas an American vossol (ns is olatmod), and pat to death halt her pasrongers oand orow. Thoy Aid this claiming that tho ves- sel at tho tlme of her captura was engaged In war against Bpaln, Loaving out of viow the eavaga character of the butohery, whioh {s un- ohanged 1n eithor caso, tho whole question of the validity of the capturo depends on tho facts of tho aaso yet to Lo ascortained, If sho was an Amorlean vessol, was she violating any law, 80 08 to mako hor canturo logal? Tho Governmont of 8pain, upon Learing of the eapturo, prompily forbade the oxcoution of the passeugers, The ordor waa ot racelvod until the mon had boon dead somo houra, The Governmont of Bpain do- manda timo to colloct tho reports of hor own ofticers as to the wholo cnse.

Was our polioy of intornational arbitration do- clarod by foar, and is it to bo abandoned whon our advoraary is a second or third rate power? Thoe American pooplo cannot afford to place thomsolves in such a posltion bofore the world ; and yot that will bo our position i wo harshly rush into war against Spain, without affording hor the anmo means of making rodross and com- Ponsation that wa accorded to Great Britain. THE SENTENCE OF TWEED, - "Tho swift and inoxorablo operations of Justice hiavo made it posaiblo to sponk to-day of Tweod 88 8 conviet, and, whatevor sympathy might une der ordinary ciroumatancos be folt for an old man, condemned to spond his fow romaining yoars in a folon's cell, fa lost in tho fact that 'wood has not only boon s glant malofactor, but has flauntod his guilt in tho eyes of honost peo- Plo with moat brazen insolonco, and dofied tho law to punish him. In the words of the Court which passed the sontenco: “Through the whola of this trial you romsinod, up to the very momont of your conviction, a8 calm and serono 48 thougli you roliod upon your innocence, whon it waa overwholmingly apparont to all that what Was your seronity was only your audaclty,—your confidonco in tho omnipotenco’ of cor- ruption rathor than rollanco upon your innoconco.” The fact, theroforo, that Twood hea boon fined $12,760 and sentenced to twolvo yoars' imprisonmont in tho County Jail, whick monns on Blackwell's Island, will bo recolved with tho hoartiost satistaction by all honost poo- Plo, and they will breatho more froely now that it is dofinitoly settled that official avarico, rapac- ity, and plunder can bo puvished. Mr, Twood s already an old mnn, belng in his GGth yoar, With the opportunities he hos had, and lis ox- ocutivo and business qualifications, ho might to- day have onjoyed tho honor and respeot not only ot Now York City, but of tho wholo country. Ho has roached an ago when most men propate fo rotire from tho active work of lifo and to onjoy the fruits of thoir Iabors, surrounded by troopa of {frionds, and Lappy in the enjoyment of an honorablo dignity and the Iawful accumulations of thoir yoars of toll, Mr. Tweed, however, must now exchange tho woalth he has dishoneatly scquired, and the luxurios with which he has surrounded himself, for tho seclusion of a conviot's coll and the asso- ciation of other criminals, and spond tho re- maindor of his days with Lis own wrotohed thoughta for company, as ho contrasts his sar- roundings with what they wore, and remembers the disgrace ho has brought upon all who hoar his name, ¥ Thero is ono featuro in the tral of Twoed which wilt improas overy reader, and that is tho utterly orushing offect which the verdiot snd sontonco had upon him. This effact, howovor, is not surprising, when ono recslls tho behavior of tho man from the timo that the chargos wero first brought againet him, oven totho rendering of the vordict, That verdict was undoubtedly an overwholming surprise to him. Ho'belioved himsolt to bo go strong In money, influenco, and friends, that Lio could dofy the Iaw, and ho manifosted this belief inhis sation, With amplo opportunities to lenve Now York, as othoers of the Ring thievos did, ho remained thero, dia- playod himeelf in publio more than over, and oponly jeered at tho accusations sgainst him, In publio and in private, on the streets and in all his places of resort, ho bosasted his {mmunity from punishment, and he wont into court, nover doubting for an instant that he would be sc- quitted. But neither his money . nor his in- fluonco, neither his bravado nor his throats, wero of any avail. When the vordiot came, thereforo, it stunuod him as if he had ‘boon struck on tho hesd with sn ax, and, whon the sontonco followed it, tho cool braggart broko down and was led away to tho Tombs, whining and enivellig like any convicted snoak-thief, Ho at last found himself where he could not bog or bribo; where his noisy braggadoclo waa as idlo'as tho wind ; and whero he had no op- portunity to threaton or command. Outraged Justice at Jast had this princo of plundorers in Lor clutchos, and tho msn who had stolen $1,000,000, and boasted of it and defled the law, was a8 poworless as a roed 1n a storm, The coll-doors which olosed upon Mr, Tweod yestorday shut him ous from the publio viow, nnd thors i3 no reason to supposo that wo shall hear any more of him. Ho is where he can do nomore harm. Evon if heshould live to finish out his torm, which is oxcoedingly doubtful, ho will havo rosched an age at which it will ba bardly worth his while to come out again, But ho loavos bobind him o story with a moral, His Iate Ia a solemn warning to othor corrupt poli~ tiolana and publio thiavos, that, sooner or later, Justico avenges heruelt, e r—— THE MARY RILL OASE, Wo bave spared tho readors of 'I'mx Trinuse the disgusting dotails of the ovidence befora the Coronor's inquost upon the remains of Mrs, Mary Hill, whoso douth was oconsionod by an abortion, The result of tho investigation in that Dr. Earll bas boon held for trial on the charge of procuring tho abortion, and Ar, Hill, the hus. ‘band of tho murdered WOmAD, 88 a0 AC08EHOTY boforo the fact.

Bryant vs, tho Poople, rocontly docided by the Buproma Court of Illinois, and that of the inhabitants of the City of Chiezgo vs, the Btato Bonrd of Equalization, In thocasoof Bryant vs. tho Poople, the Court was asked to grant an in- Junction restraining tho sale of cortain lands in this county for non-paymont of local taxes, The injunction was refused on tho ground that tho amount of tho taxes had not been doposited with the Counmty Col- lector as roquirea by tho nact of March 28, 1878, Thin ack roquiros that in casos of ap- peals from taxes levied by any *incorporated city, town, or villago,” tho taxes shall bo pald Loforo tho appeal is allowed. Tho tax bolng paid, the party taking the appeal can thon suo to recover tho amount, Tho actis a proper one, sinco it given to the city, town, or villago tho uso of tho monoey while the appeal is ponding, and outs off that large smount of tax-fighting which is grounded upon nothing bettor than tho dosire to gain timo. It doos not disturh tho rights of any porson, or dony him the remedy which is his due in overy case whore his prop- erty hns been unfairly assossed. Thoro is no analogy to bo drawn botween this caso and that of an unjust lovy of State taxes. In tho first placo, thoro ia no law roquiring pay- mont boforo an appeal is taken. In tho next plago, no such Iaw can bo passed as rogards Btate taxos, sinco the BStato cannot be sued. Tho tax onco paid, whother voluntarily or by compulsion, it cannot ba rozovered. The Constitution of 1870 made & radical change, in this regard, by providing that “tho Stato of mlnolg shall nover bo made defendant in any court of law or oquity.” To pass s law roquir- ing tho poymont of Stato taxes beforo an appeal should bo allowed would be equivalont to con- forring the powers of absolute monarchy upon tho Btate Auditor, The powers of a government rosido in tho power to tax, and nowhere alsa. Tho power to tax without restraint of any Lind is the distingulshing mark of despotism. The people will not be likely to confer it upon one of their subordinate officers this winter—or at any future time, — It may not be inappropriate to eall the atton- tion, just at this time, of the membera of tho General Asgembly to the decision of the Su- preme Court of Oalifornis, to the oftect that a tax on morigages, Whero the land mortgaged is also taxod, i double taxation, and is unconstitu- tional. The docision of the Gourt is summedup in tho cloaing paragraph of the opinion, which reads aa follows: I conclude, therefore, that & tax on losns madein the usual courso of business is paid by the borrower, sand, if the debt be secured by morigago, Lo alio pays tho tax on the mortgaged proporly, He ia twicotaxed, —once on the property, and once on tho debt which tho property ropresonts,—and yot no new value has Dacn created by tho tranesotion. Hodano richer, and has no more proporty than he had beforo; and if the ‘money which he recelved from tho londer romained in bis hands, it 18 also taxed, If tho money has psssod into the poesesaion of anothor tax-payer, it ia taxed in his hands, so that tho proporty aud the monoy are cach separstoly taxed ; and if tho mere promlsc or obligation of the borrower ‘to repay the money is alno taxod, and the taxis pald by him, ns it must be, it 1s clear that ho has beon twico taxed on the same valuo or subject-mattor, Thia 2 violation of that clauso of tho Conatitution which requires that tazation shall bo equat and uniform, snd that property shall be taxed in proportion to its value, When the mortgaged prop- erty hagonce pald iis tax, it haa dischorged its full obligation to tho State, and the owner of it sannot, and in Justico ought not, to be subjected to anothor taz, merely becauss o hes borrowed & sum of monoy for which tho proporty {s pledged sa & seourity, Tho valuo of water, which is usod principally for bathing, washing olothes, sailing boats, and to somo eoxtont for drinking purposes in this port of the country, and which da a6 froo as the sir, I8 not properly appre- ciated among ua.

There aro memborships in the Grecloy Colony which can be bought, but no wator-rights. Water to cover oighty acres during the wholo soason s aaid to be worth as much ae $500. The sum of 180 has boon pald for a sharoin water-rights, this shero furnishing not moro than enough to water twonty sores,. It is tho opifiion of tho T'ribune that a Colorado farm of forty scres will Bell for §6,000 in ton yoars, it sure of water, In that section of tho country, water iamora valuablo thon land, Tho Goneral Counoll of the Intornational has Just promulgated ite platform in an ofilolal man. ner. The platform domands that tho Govern- mont shall auporvise land on & basia of strict equality ; that the owrency of tho nation shall be issuod by the Governmont nlono and boar no interest; that there shall be complote rocial and political equality; that all ofticors shall be elected diractly by tho peoplo; that the Govorn- ment shall have charge of all publioc works ond administor thom at cost price; and that tho Government shall also conduot all branches of ueoful industry, and thus furnish omployment for all, Tho plattorm s In some . respects oxcollont, but thero {s ono insuperable objootion which stands in ita way, The only timo at which such o platform could be made practical has boon fndlcated In the Boriptures as tho Millennium, When the Intornationals, thoro foro, happen to soe lambs and llons lying down togothor, and tho Ouban Volunteors, for instance, benting thelr swords Into plow-shiares, t-will be & good thno for them to introduoce thelr platform with somo hopos of its gonoral adoption.
