When Bedlam broke loose in Wall street on Friday last such was the insane excitement inspired among the gold gamblers, that but for the interposition of the Secretary of the Treasury the mad bulls of the ring before the close of the day would probably have run up gold to the auticipated figure of two hundred, But the announcement that Bout~ well had given orders for the sale of four millions of Treasury gold on Saturday, and as much more as might be needed to break ‘“‘the corner,” demolisbed the conspiracy as by magic. Why, then, did not Master Boutivell earlier interfere? Why did he so long permit this demoralizing game of the gold gamblers to go on? This is the question which he is now called to answer. In the reports of to-day from the field of battle we expect some inte- resting disclosures; but from the facts and circumstances now before us we think that a case can be made up calling for the dismissal of Boutwell from the Treasury Departinent. What are these facta and circumstances? They are briefly these: On the late visit of the Secretary of the Treasury to this city he was, toaremarkable extent, dined and wined by certain capitalists and politicians, and waited upon by them in all bis goings out and comings in down to his departure for Washington. Conspicuous among these devotees dancing attendance upon him was the venerable Thurlow Weed, and it has become a proverb that whenever this veneralfle man plays the courtier he is playing for a big job. He is a bird of evil omen, they say—a lobby vulture who can snuff an inviting car- cass far beyond the reach of mortal vision. Why was this extraordinary man, with others, supposed to be congenial spirits, so devoted on this late visit to the service of the Chancel- lor of the Exchequer? The answer, we appre- hend, may be found in Bontwell’s remarks some ten days ago in Wall street, to the effect that he should have nothing to do with the doings of the gold gamblers, but that he should sell his gold from time to time regardless of their gambling schemes. Here was a hint; but we have reason to believe that the gold bulls of a confidential ring had more definite assurances that for a given period in any event in Wall street there would bo no Treasury gold thrown upon the market. In a special Washington despatch, from a trusty source, which we pub- lished yesterday, we have the information that Secretary Boutwell had resolved upon the gold selling policy we have indicated; that he did not propose to be governed, as McCulloch was, by the opinions of Wall street, and that down to Friday last he had adhered to this new policy; that he heard of the fight of the bulls and bears with supreme cooluess; that all tieir late excitements did not move him; that the busbels of telegrams from Jay Cooke and others and the frantic appeals of a New York radical organ were without effect upon him, and that at last it was the President who spoiled the sport by going to the Secretary and requesting him to sell gold to ‘‘break the corner.” The Secretary did not approve the sale of those four millions; it was not his work, ‘He did it because he was ordered to do it;” and ‘the President was greatly mor- tified at the use of hisname made in the Gold Room as being opposed to the Secretary's selling.” Subsequently, it appears, by repre- sentatiens to the Secretary, through Assistant Treasurer Butterfield, from the Gold Room, the authorized gold sale of four millions was reduced to two millions, Now, it will be perceived from these facts that the Secretary of the Treasury was per- fectly indifferent in reference to the late day of Bedlam in Wall street. He had resolved not to interfere, whatever the issue. The financial affairs of the whole country might be de- ranged, the business affairs of the whole country might be suspended—what cared he? He had determined not to interfere in the game of the ‘‘bulls” of the ring, and he would not have interfered but for the order of the President. But why not? That is the ques- tion, We find it hard to resist the conclusion that it was because the Secretary and his retainers, including some of his courtiers, were in the ring, and that, even aa it turned out, the net profits of the grand crash of ‘the corner” were pocketed by what in this affair we may call the loyal league, All this demoralizing business in Wall street might have been prevented by a timely sale of Treasury gold, In declining to prevent this discreditable, this disgraceful exhibition, the Secretary has contributed seriously to weaken the public confidence in the national credit, bonds and currency, and to strengthen all the elements of repudiation, If tempted to this course of non-intervention by a gold gambling ring, the Secretary te a traitor ig hig great trust; if guided by a mere notion to try an experiment, he is not fit for his position, and a man should bo put in bis place competent and ready to ‘break a corner” of the gold gam- blers without @ peremptory order from the President. We want more light upon this business; but from the lights before us and the shadows of Thurlow Weed and others, our conclusion is that Boutwoll as Secretary of the Treasury should be dismissed. The Situation in Spaiv. Our news from Spain is far from encourag- ing. It is in some respects alarming, The anti-Bourbon revolution does not appear to be approaching any very satisfactory end, and a radical republican counter-revolution is in active, sanguinary progress. The hopes which some months ago we cherished regard- ing that unhappy country are all more or less blighted. The first revolution has effected nothing. If there has been any progress at all, it seems to have been as much backward as forward. It was despotism before the revo- lution, itis despotism still, The tyranny of Isabella has given place to the tyrangy of Prim and Serrano. The finances of the country are in a deplorablé condition and they are daily becoming worse. Fresh loans are being sought; but they are not to be had except upon terma which are absolutely ruinous. Discontent is everywhere. During Saturday last it was expressed in active form in Barce- lona, Tarragona and other municipal centres. Volunteers refused to disarm when commanded by the authorities, and the release of impri- soned volunteers was peremptorily demanded by the people. In one instance barricades were thrown up. One of these was assaulted by the regular troops and carried after a bayonet charge. The insurgents had twenty- four men killed and the soldiers two officers, Numbers were wounded, The determination of the radicals to make a demonstration in Madrid next Wednesday adds to the general alarm, as another serious crisis is anticipated. The Carlists, it is true, have had no great success; but it can- not be said that they are completely sub- dued, The Isabolla party is taking courage. The republicans, through the indefatigable efforts of such men as Castelar, are waking into newness of life. In spite of mysterious assassinations which throw suspicion on the agents of the government, and in spite of repressive measures of the most cruel descrip- tion, republican gatherings are becoming gen- eral. In Saragossa, made so famous by its heroic defence against the French in times not yet forgotten, Sefior Castelar has just addressed some twenty thousand of his countrymen, In addition to all this we learn that many of the bishops still refuse to take the oath under the new constitution, This is an ill omen; for it shows that the clergy do not believe that the present state of things can last much longer. Ina few weeks from now the Cortes will meet and Spain may again be plunged in deeper misery than ever. There has been much loud talk about sending twenty thousand fresh troops to Cuba. We much fear that Spain will need all her troops to maintain order at home. It is difficult, indeed, to fore- see the final issue. As matters now stand anarchy is much more probable than order. A wild war of the factions seems much more certain than the early re-establishment of a good and solid government. A king is still the ery; but in the present temper of the republican party the crown of Spain would be more likely to prove a crown of thorns. It is safe now to say that the revolution has been a failure. Spain's great waut is capable men, The revolution has failed to develop them. A Cawsar, a Cromwell or a Napoleon is what is needed; but we have waited for more than twelve months and we know not where to look forhim. Is the Spanish race to be looked upon henceforward as incapable of self-goy- erament? Envelope and Gift Enterprise Gamblers, The operations of the envelope gamblers continue to prosper notwithstanding all the efforts used to put them down. The modus operandi of the swindle has been so repeatedly exposed that the wonder is any sane person at the present day can be deceived by the fraud. Still we read in the reports of proceedings in the Mayor's office that complaints are made there every day by parties enticed into the “gift enterprise” dens, and who, after being sub- jected to a course of legerdemain, voluntarily stake their money on an apparent swindle. It is only after they emerge into the light of day from theso dens that tho glamour by which they were surrounded becomes dissipated and they realise the fact that they have been grossly cheated, Not more than one out of every ten of the dupes has time or inclination to seek redress in the right quarter, so that the game pays, the swindlers prosper, grow rich, and, after a little time, engage with their worthy congeners in Wall street in awindles of & more extensive character. The post office envelope gift swindle, which was so extensively carried on some time ago by mail, was squelched by the Postmaster of this city seizing for a few successive nights the whole correspondence of the suspected parties, The case was brought into the United States courts, and the act of the Postmaster in seizing and opening the correspondence, and which led to the prosecution of the parties, was sus- tained, and the parties themselves mulcted in fines. This put a stop to the post office enve- lope fraud; but the more open and flagrant swindle enacted in our most populous streets, and under the eyes of our Metropolitan Police, still flourishes, and the swindlers, except in some solitary cases where they are compelled to disgorge their ill-gotten gains, go unwhipt of justice. A War Coup tn tag East.—The refusal of the Viceroy of Egypt to comply promptly with the terms of settlement between his Highness and the Sultan which were em- braced in the second letter addressed to him by the Grand Vizier of Turkey has provoked a most violent newspaper attack on his action and policy in Constantinople. The official organ of the Grand Vizier assails him in no measured terms, and particularly for his pro- posal to refer the matters in dispute to an arbi- trament by the European Great Powers. The dismissal of the Viceroy is demanded. He must either accept a vassalage or revolt. Whioh will he do? There is 4 war cloud in the East which is likely to burst with violence, ond at qa cacly day, Tho Recovery of Napoleon. Tho recent anxiety throughout France and Europe generally caused by the conflicting re- ports respecting the state of health of the Em- peror Napoleon proves the importance attached to his existence and policy. Even the Grand Empereur, in his palmiest days, when defying tho combined armed forces of Europe, could not have elicited a more profound public in- terest. The diplomatic policy of the present Emperor is now beyond doubt far more pow- erful in its effects than the armed policy ofthis uncle, The people of Europe have lately felt that there is ono power in tho existence of which they are all vitally interested, and that even a temporary indisposition of its chief can cause a shade of depression to fall upon them, Although now sufficiently recovered to justify tho supposition that he may yet live for some years to come, the sentiments recently ex- pressed have shown that the preservation of his life is essential to the preservation of the peace of France and the peace of Europe, It may truly be said that never in the annals of history has the life of one man been felt to be of such importance in maintaining the political equilibrium in Europe as that of Napoleon ILL. When the French nation was convinced of the many official misstatements that had been cir- eulated it naturally magnified the evil, Then arose the perplexing question, “Should the Emperor die or remain infirm what would bo the consequence?” In either case who could effectively take up the reins of government during the crisis that must inevi- tably follow? The system of reform now in progress in France rendered the situation still more perplexing. The nation was making one supreme effort to alleviate the burden of the immense responsibility that was felt to be too much for one alone to bear. The change from the reign of personal power to that of constitutional power was being mutually ar- ranged between the people and the chief of the State. Formerly during such a crisis re- course might probably bave been had to arms on the part of the people, but now, in our present advanced state of civilization, the peo- ple have felt the necessity of peace at all costs. One great point in the policy of the Emperor is doubtless the question of his dynasty, and he has good sense enough to know that it may be more firmly secured by co-operating with the nation than by any other forcible measures. The amnesty granted on August 15 to all convicted members of the public press in France was decidedly a great conquest. To a certain extent the French press can be com- pared to our common Mother Eve—forbid it any given thing and its endeavors to secure it will never cease. By treating its puny attacks with silent contempt, however, the charm is lost; and here the Emperor has proved his sagacity. Even the personal sarcasms of the Rappel and the Lanterne will lose their charm. However, duly considering all points, it is to be hoped that the Emperor may be spared to France until his present policy is firmly con- summated, and it may yet be verified that “TZ Empire c'est la Paix.” Tho Spanish Gunboats. One of the Spanish ‘‘mosquito fleet,” as it is called, went on a trial trip on Saturday up the Hudson, The Spaniards would have been delighted if she could have gong down instead of up our noble river and out of the Narrows. This, however, they expect to see in a short time if the reports are true, for it is said ‘each of these funny craft will sail prob- ably upon its completion, which will be inside of a month.” It is said, too, and evi- dently under the inspiration of the Spaniards and the contractors, that ‘‘the impression pre- vails that no power on the part of the authori- ties can detain these gunboats,” and that ‘‘no law can enjoin them.” The action of this No, 1 boat was perfectly satisfactory. Of course this parade of the action of tho completed gunboat was for effect and a little ruse to try the temper of the public and the Intentions of the government. If the Span- iards and the constructors be so certain that no power on the part of the authorities can detain these gunboats, and that no law can enjoin them, why did they not test the ques- tion by approaching the Narrows, We think they would have found out their mistake. The administration is not so weak and vacillating as to take decided ground one day against the departure of these war vessels and give way the next. Nothing has occurred to lead to such a change. On the contrary, the attitude of the Spanish government on the Cuban qnes- tion is more likely to strengthen the determi- nation of the administration not to let these gunboats leave our shores, Although the Cubans have not been recognized as belli- gerents, Spain is not yet at peaco with our sister republics of South America, and this government is right on that ground in refusing to let the gunboats escape; but it is also justi- fiable on the high moral and political ground of saving Cuba from the dreadful conse- quences of letting them go. Cuba is our near neighbor, and we are interested politi- cally, commercially and in every point of view in the fate of that island, It would be an everlasting disgrace to the United States should we, under the present aspect of the struggle for Cuban independence, give such important aid to the Spaniards, while we refuse any to the Cubans, Theso “funny craft,” as they have becn facetiously termed, would enter the little bays, inlets and rivers of Cuba, where large war vessels can- not go, and would make terrible havoc with the property and lives of the population, as well as with the patriot forces. From what we have seen and know of Spanish barbarity this so-called ‘‘mosquito fleet” would prove a fearful engine of destruction and cruelty. General Grant and his Cabinet understand this, and will not be bullied or humbugged by Spain to let the gunboats escape. They are not 60 weak and have too much regard for the universal sentiment of the country to back down from the position taken or to afford such important aid to the Spaniards to crush a heroic and neighboring people fighting for their independence, The shortest and best way to settle this question is to recognize the Cubans as belligerents, Then the sympathies of the American people would soon be shown, Cuba would get all the assistance she needs, and Spanish barbarity and domination in that island would speedily be brought to an end, Taxina Luxurtas.—The system of taxing most heavily articles of luxury, such as Jiagors god cigars, silks, Inggs, dlamands, do. is good ; but the greatest of modern luxurios, the luxury of gold gambling, and the most per- nicious in its consequences, demands most urgently this system of taxation, good and strong. It might be made to yicld hundreds of millions of money to the Treasury, while saving hundrods of millions to the great body of the people. : Spa Cruelties in Caba. Spanish warfare, even at this late day, has lost none of its horrors, The bratal scenes which in by-gone years were enacted by Spanish leaders on American soil have lost none of their ferocity in this civilized age. The tragedies of Pizarro in Peru are again being repeated in Cuba, under the rule of De Rodas. The violence of Valmaseda is applauded and endorsed by hissuperiors. Honorable warfare is ignored; brutality almost unparalleled sup- plies its place, Tho belief in the character- istics which gave Spain her supremacy in the barbarous ages, when brute force ruled, is now the governing idea in regard to the treatment ofthe Cubans, Cruelty is the reigning prin- ciple for all disorders against the state. A barbarous cruelty, which civilization has entirely dispensed with, is with Spain, now behind other nations of the earth, still adhered to with the most unfeeling tenacity, Here, at our very doors, we learn of atrocities boing perpetrated which would draw down the exe- crations of humanity even if committed by the wild Indians of the Plains, the Sepoys of the East, or the wild uncivilized tribes that roam at large through the desert plains of Africa. Our latest letters from Cuba, speaking of the practices of the Spanish volunteers, say that during the battle of Las Tuflas a building con- taining a number of prisoners was fired, and all the unfortunate inmates were burned to death. The reason given for this fiendish act was that the prisoners might otherwise have es- caped. Another account tells us of a company of Spaniards who, under the cover of night, stole out from their intrenchments, dressed as insurgents and wearing the lone star in their shakos, mingled with the Cubans, and while the latter slept, unconscious of the pre- sence of a foe, they were stabbed to the heart. These are only two of the many instances which might be recorded of the cruelties that are practised in the fruitful island of Cuba by the Spanish troops. During the progress of the civil war in this country foreign governments, misled by the erroneous statements of correspondents whose sympathies were with the slaveholders of the South, cried out in virtuous indignation against the imaginary cruoltios of the United States in its treatment of the rebels. Without inquiry into the truth of the assertions these nations calmly considered the question of interference for humanity's sake, Where now isall their sympathy, that they cannot see in the manner in which the war is being conducted in Cuba a just reason to interfere and stay a massacre which must tend to disgrace the age in which it is committed? That our own government should interpose in the matter fg admitted on all sides, "Whe time is pe for interference, The cause of humanity, of civilization and of Christianity demands that something should be done, The people of the United States expect that President Grant should use the power at his command to pre- vent the useless effusion of blood. If, as all admit, it is merely a question of time when Cuba shall be independent of Spain, why not limit that time as much as possible ? It is now in the power of this country to do an act at which humanity will rejoice. Let it not be delayed. Hesrew Imuiaration.—It is reported that the Israelites in San Francisco have organized an immigration society for the purpose of assisting persons of their faith in Europe to come to this country. This, we think, is well. The Israelites prosper in this great and free country. In no country in the world, since they lost their own land, have they found so much of a home as they have found hore. They make good, peaceful, prosperous citi- zens. We have no reason to object to a large Jewish immigration, In some parts of Europe, in Roumania particularly, their condi- tion is most wretched, Recent legislation in the Principalities ‘has revived the experience of the captivity in Babylon and the bondage in Egypt. Prince Charles has promised to exert himself to ameliorate their condition ; but Prince Charles is a constitutional ruler and not above law. It ts the feeling of the people, not the power of the Prince, that makes the Jew miserable on the banks of the Danube, Let our rich Israelites bring their oppressed brethren to this new land of promise, Here, at least, they will be free men, and milk and honey will not be found wholly wanting. DEALERS IN CounteRFEit Mongy.—A gang of counterfeiters have been discovered at work along the line of the Erie Railroad. Their operations have been carried on for some time with great skill, secrecy and success, and the country towns and villages on either side of the line for miles back have no doubt been stocked with the worthless stuff that these scoundrels managed to exchange for the genu- ine greenbacks—the hard earned savings of the residents and of the country farmers and dealers, There is an epidemic in crimes of various grades, and it spreads with great ra- pidity and virulence under certain circum- stances, The counterfeiters along the line of the Erie Railroad, the swin- diers who go the gambling envelope dodge, in the city and country, and the Wall street tricksters, whose late exploits throw into the shade all previous efforts to ac- complish a gigantic fraud, are all the same stock and liable to be affected with the family disease at one and the same time, After the late sudden eruption of swindle and fraud we may have a healthy spell among the fraternity, during which it would be well to devise moans to eradicate the evil altogether and not trust to another outbreak. Toe Use or tHe TELEGRAPH IN FINANCIAL Operations,—We see by the simultaneous ex- citement produced in Philadelphia, Baltimore, San Francisco and other places with that in Wall street on Friday, that the telegraph is used all round by gold and stock gamblers. These operators buy and sell at a distance, through agents in New York, just as readily as those on the spot do, The time is at hand, evidently, when the telegraph will be used generally, not only for such questionable pur- poses, but for all the legitimate operations of trade, exchange and financial tran#ictiofis as well. We see already the beginning of this mighty revolution, though its greatest results have yetto be seen. In all auch matters the whole country will become asone city and New York will be the clearing house for all financial transactions. Cotton ProductionAdvice to British Manu- facturers. As we have stated, England is troubled and anxious about her future supply of cotton, and instead of looking to India, Egypt or South America for cotton lands we would repeat our suggestion that the best thing England can do is for her capitalists to make investments in the cotton lands of the South, now for sale in the market at a price lower than they have been since they were entered as goverament lands, and lower than they ever will be again. In Alabama, Flofida, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas there are some of the beat cotton lands in the world for sale, and if Eng- lishmen desire cotton of an excellent quality, at a fair price, they will not hesitate to embark at once in an enterprise that cannot but be successful. Texas has some 12,000,000 acres of superior cotton lands, and has the capaeity to produce more bales in one year than have ever boen produced in one season. Alabama has 6,000,000 acres of good cotton lands, and results have shown since the war that cotton is a very profitable crop. The cotton crop of 1852 was 3,150,000, bales, and the estimated number of hands employed in its production was 789,500. This was only four bales to each hand, Now, with free labor, under an improved system of cultivation, with deop ploughing, with the use of guano, and with a share of the crop produced going to the labor- ers, the number of bales to each hand may be safely estimated at eight, and this will yield a large profit to the planter. We believe the raising of cotton in the United States is to be the most remunerative crop the farmer can put into the soil. A good hand will take care of ten acres, and only one bale to the acre, of 450 pounds, gives 4,500 pounds of cotton per hand. American cotton now sells in Liverpool from 10}d. to 16d. per pound, gold. At even at fourteen cents a pound the yield per hand to the farmer is $315—this is allowing the planter but one half of the crop. The number of bales this year is estimated at 8,000,000, and at twenty-five cents a pound the crop of 1869 will be worth, at 450 pounds to the bale, the sum of $337,500,000—more than the value of any cotton crop ever pro- duced before iu the United States. At twenty cents a pound the crop of this year is worth $270,000,000. In 1860 the imports of cotton from the United States into Great Britain were 2,580,700 bales, and from Brazil 103,800 bales, from Egypt 109,500-bales, from the East Indies 563,200 bales, from the West Indies 9,800 bales; total imports into Great Britain in 1860, 8,366,500 bales. During tho late war one of the best writers in England said “that the United States could fovy & small export duty on cotton; for with- Hall the United Sa England could not obtain a supply of cotton of such quality as she needed for her mills,” This fact alone should induce England to look to this country in the future for her cotton supply. Here the culture of cotton is no experiment; It is fact, and with all the appliances of improved cul- ture, with free intelligent, interested labor over slave labor, with its indolence, carelessness and waste, there will be no difficulty iu the planter calculating his product of cotton annu- ally than there is in the farmer of the Rast or the West calculating the product of his pota- toes, corn or wheat. To go South to buy cotton land is not going toa country where everything has to be bailt up, railroads to be made and rivers to be im- proved, in order to get the cotton to markot. The means of communication aro already easy and numerous, and new lines of railroad are now in the course of construction, so as to make the carriage of freight less expensive to Galveston, New Orleans, Mobile, &. In- stead of going into the far West wo would advise the hardy, intelligent emigrant to go South to buy land, and fix bis home ina genial clime, where his industry will be rewarded and where he will be within a few hours of the best markets of the South, West and East. Pope Pius the Ninth and William Penn. The Emperor of France, the King of Italy and the King of Bavaria have hesitated for so long a time in coming to a decision as to whether they will commission special repre- sentatives to the forthcoming Council in Rome, as the Catholic governments did in the olden time, that they appear to have lost the chance of doing so even if inclined, The Papal archi- tect has been along to St. Peter’s and exe- cuted a professional coup d'état on these monarchs. The seats indicated in the first plan as to be placed around the Pontifical throne in the great church for the use of those foreigu royalist deputies have been omitted. The Pope has evidently been reading up the dia~ ciplinary system in use among the membors of that excellently honest and moral people, the Quakers, who, when they determine to eject a member for any cause from their com- munity, just quietly place his chair outside the door of the meeting house, No more fuss about it, He was a ‘bad case” and ts extra cathedra, Pius the Ninth is evidontly revert- ing to the system of Solomon, He is likely to discard the use of bulls of excommunication in the future and return to the uso of the plummet and the square. Napoleon and Victor Emanuel will please make a note and come to the “square,” “right up,” if they want to be in the Council.

For the present General Grant hos provided a remedy; but for the future something must be done by Congress, or these Wall street gamblers will ruin us—Treasury, banks, bonds, currency, everything, okt
