Pia UN fn pel évery tribe, during the period of the war of the Revolution in the United States, and the first Puropean dealer in American scalps taken from the heads of the soldiers of Washington. It is eminently meet and proper, therefore, that Prince Arthur should be ranked, not by brevet only, an Indian brave chief. But what will be the effect in England and here with ourselves on the succession to the throne and the Monroe 4octrine? Prince Arthur, as Chief of the Mohawks, takes down his brother, the Prince of Wales, in point of precedence, at once; for certainly the Guelphs are not quite #0 ancient in the royalties as the Ameri- can Indians. Indeed, it may be feared, should he become ambitious, that ho will outrank his royal mother herself; for what signifies the fact of being crowned and anointed, sitting on a ‘‘stone of destiny,” which has in reality been stolen from Scotland, to being voluntarily chosen by an Indian ple biscite, taken under the broad canopy of heaven, to rule over a perfectly free nation in Amer- ica? The banner of the Prince of Wales must certainly be moved down a peg or two in St. George's Hall, so as to make way for the tuft and feathers of the youthful leader of the Mohawks, Prince Alfred may come along, to be sure, from the Antipodes and the Sandwich Islands, with al! his Maorl and Polynesian honors ‘‘thick upon him;” but Wo are quite certain that his claim to prece- dence will not stand the slightest chance in the Herald’s College, London, beside that of Prince Arthur. There is little doubt also that the Mohawks communicated to the pale face chicf brave some few of their mysterious seorets in the line of governing, recollecting what extraordinary monarchical experiences the late King Louis Philippe of France acquired during his sojourn among the Indians on this Continent—who styled him the ‘Cun- ning French Medicine Man”—and how bene- ficially he utilized them for France and bim- self, after his return to Europe. Prince Arthur's installation as an Indian chief is likely on every account to inaugurate ® serious royal crisis among us. We can scarcely object to it, however—that is, pro- vided the principle of the Monroe doctrine has Bot becn violated. This great question remains, however, legitimately with Attorney General Hoar, who will at once set to and “read up the case which we now put—Are the Mohawk Indians royalists, or do they make a monarchy, or are they merely aristocratic barons? Is Prince Arthur a king or merely the headof a clan? If itisamonarchy, Prince Arthur must go by the board. In the mean- time, all ‘‘Hail to the Chief” of the Mohawks Not the Right Man in the Right Place, Mr. Boutwell at the head of the Treasury Department, There is not a banker or broker or merchant in the city of New York who does not believe and know that it was within the power of the Secretary of the Treasury to prevent the initiation and extension of the recent gold gambling conspiracy, which spread elarm and dismay throughout the whole country and brought bankruptcy, and poverty to many. He did not interfere until the object of the canapiracy had been accomplishad.and the ruin had been wrought, If he could inter- pose then, why could he not have done so at the initial or any intermediary point in the progress of the infamous plot? We never may know, and hardly care, whether the rumors which gained credence in Wall street as (6 his complicity in the scheme are true or fatee, and whether he had an interest in pro- moting the success of the scheme. It matters little now. A blunder is often as bad as a crime, and in this case it was. The excuse that it was a mere struggle between rival gold gamblers, in which he or other outsiders had no interest, is the merest and flimsiest subterfuge, because in the result of that struggle the financial stability of the government itself and the prosperity of the whole country were involved. We have thought, and it must have occurred to all who reflected on the subject, how different would have been the course of the man whom Presi- @ent Grant had the good judgment to select in the first instance as head of the Treasury Department, but whose appointment was defeated by the chicanery of a lot of politi- cians in the United States Senate. This is the penalty which the country pays for encourag- ing politicians and putting them in posts that should only be filled by statesmen and men of the highest practical business attainments, Pruasta as A Navan Power.—Prussia has discovered the necessity of increasing her maritime importance, and the subject of a Prussian fleet, so long ridiculed, is now becom- ing an established fact, With such an extensive seaboard, including so many impor- tant ports from which vessels now trade to all parts, a naval protective force is rendered absolutely necessary, and Count Bismarck has not overlooked the want. The appearance of Prussian war vessels is novel, but is a proof ofthe progress of the foreign policy of the government, and the Teuton element so widely spread throughout the universe generally may rejoice in the prospect of more effectual pro- tection on the part of the Prussian govern- ment. OISCOVERY OF A SKELETON, Forced to stay in-doors by the inclement weather some people yesterday spent the time by prowling about the old buliding No. 387 Canai street and peer- ing into all sorts of forgotten nooks and crannies, They wore rowarded at last by finding, benind the rafters of an attio room, an old-tin wash boller, Taking it down they removed the lid and were hor- rifled at finding it filed with human bones. Murder ‘was scented at once and the police called; but Roundsman Becklen, of the Eighth precinct, wel ing the summons, by dint of inquiries of the olde: ftiainable inhabitant discovered that a long time fago tho room was occupied by a pair of medical students, ‘The mystery was at once solved, and the bones proved to be the traces of scientific investiga- tion rather than of brutal passion, They were taken in charge by the police for decent burial.

PAnIs, Oct, 3, 1869, Prince Napoleon has written a letter to Colonel Berton, chairman, and other Americans sojourning in London, thanking them for their address con* gratulating him for his liberal speecn in the Senate, The Prince reminds them of the bonds which have always united France and America, and continues :— “The present position bears resemblance to that at the close of the last century. France seeks to found a liberal democracy at the moment when America emerges from a gigantic struggle for the destruction of slavery, which dishonored the republic. The methods of France and America are different, but the end i the same, Constitutional liberty established in France will piace the political sentiments of France and America in as complete accord as their interests already are.’ In conclusion the Prince thanks his American friends for having perceived in his speech moderate liveral and democratic sentiments, which alone can secure the end at which they aim—the alliance of the empire with liberty.

Fisk Seeking the Presidential Confidence. The Gold Gamblers’ Game Spoiled by the President. The Owners of the Euterpe Ask Protec- tion from Cuban Privateers. The Spanish Gunboats Not to Leave American Waters. WASHINGTON, Oct, 8, 1869, The Administration and ¢ Wall Street Panic=Fisk Wante a Hint as to Grants Financial Polley, : As comments have been made in the newspapers affecting the administration tn connection with the recent gold panic, and much tnterest ts felt on the Subject, the Washington agent of the Associated Presa to-night called upon the President to ascertain whether there was any foundation for insinuations or direct charges against the admin- istration, The President conversed with the utmost frankness on the gubject, and sald he had not thought proper to publicly contradict the state- ments concerning himself, as he had done nothing whatever to Influence the money market or to afford any advantages to private parties. While in New York he had many voluntary advisers, but he repeatedly said to them that the administra- tion always held itself tn a position to act as it seemed best, and free to make any change of Policy for public interest, In the course of the conversation he stated that while on the eve of going to Newport James Fisk, Jr., came on board the steamer at New York, and said to tho Prosident tnat Gould had sent him down to ask that he would privately give them a little intimation ag to what the administration was going to do on the financial question. The President re- pied that the giving of such information Would not be fair, and askea Fisk whether he did not think so himself, Fisk admitted it would not be fair. The President then tnformed him that whenever tho administration was going to change its action or policy the Secretary of the Treasury would give notice through the pews papers as usual, so that everybody might at the same time know what tt was, thus excluding any possible charge of favoritism. On the morning of the panic—Friday week—Secretary Boutweli com. Municated to the President the situation of affairs tn New York, when the President said, ‘Sell $6,000,000 of gold.” The Secre- tary replied that he had come for the purpose of suggesting a sale of $3,000,000, the idea of selling gold thus appearing te be in the mind of each at the same time. A few minutes thereafter the order was telegraphed to New York to sell four millions of gold. It may be repeated that the President had informed no one whomsvever of the purposes of the administration on financial subjects, and the same remark ts equally true of the Secretary of the Treasury.

The Case of the Euterpe=No Questions Asked of the Destination of War Materials Purchased in the United States=Tio Spanish Gunboats to Be Detained. The refusal of the government to detain the steamer Euterpo arose from the fact that It was not considered that, in taking out a cargo of arms and munition, sie was*guilty of any breach of the neutrality laws. It waa established asa principle some time ago that any person or persons could purchase arms aad munitions of war from our government and that o0 questions would be asked aa to their intended use or destination. The admin- istration does not propose to vary from this policy. It was known here that the ordnance on board the Enterps was intended for the Spanish gunboats now being built at New York, and that the object was to take {tdown to Cuba and put it on board the gunboats when they reached there, In fact, this matter of tho Euterpe is but part of a plan to get the Spanish gunboats afloat in Cuban waters, ‘The government here ts fully apprised of it, and ite determination not to allow the gunboats to depart under any pretence is unaltered. The sailing of the Euterpe, therefore, will be of no advantage to the Spantards, as the ordnance on board of her is use- less without the gunboats, Bad Record for a Radical Senator. Tt will be remembered that some time ago a letter purporting to be written by Senator Pomeroy to one Legate, promising to sustain Andrew Johnson even against impeachment in case the then President gave Legate the post office at Leavenworth, Kansas, was publisned. The name of Cornelius Wendell was mixed up in the matter, and that gentleman has addressed the following note, with reference to it, to the editor of a Leavenworth paper :— WASHINGTON, D. 0., Sept. 31, 1860.

Their pay roll mouthi: amounts to $1,500,002, The Amasa Sprague “pian tation” is prine! in Crauston, and it embraces about three thousand acres, So much avout where | the Spragues live and what they do, Senator Sprague's views upon finance, it is well known are at variance with those of most of the icading men Of the republican party; and whenever occasion pre- sents Itself the Senator ig not at al’ bashful in pro- senting thom, whether It be in the Senate Vhamber at Washington, or among the farmers of Massaciu- setis, or at his own residence at Cranston, Senator Sprague talked to tho farmera of Worcester county the other day, and he told the sturdy yeo- manry juat what he thought of the American finances, After having toid the farmers, who prova- bly did dot know t¢ before, that civilization owed its thanks and gratitude to the men and women of Massachusetts, he had the boldness to say that America was not in a state of progress, but ratuer the reverse. And he sought to poimt out the cause and tne remedy. But the most intelligent manner of giving Senator Sprague’s views on the great questions of the day ts to be foun’ in the following “interview” with him:— Senator Sprague said he considered money as the Great sociai feud of the times, as at the bottom of politics and religion as well as of business. “honey,” said Senator Sprague, ‘“‘stagnating in the United States Treasury, or in tho bands of ite great army of revenue collectors through- out the country, ts the cause of all our financial woes. Wall street cyclones and business ductuations, continual motion and circulation is as necessary to keep up the equilibrium in the mone- tary world ag it 13 tm the atmosphere which swathes the globe, which 18 kept neaithful and equable by the continual interaction of polar and equatorial currents of cold and heaved air. The United States Treasury, a3 at preseut managed, is the very centre of monetary confusion aud the fruitful cause of speculation, panic and high prices. Whatever Boutwe.l does, he is bound to do damage. For example, U he goes into the market and seils $2,000,000 gold he takes out of circuiation $5,000,000 of greembacks and locks them up and makes currency high, straitening the business community to that extent. In fact, the money power in its present utterly unreguiated condition is nearly omntpotent, and finally absorba all the profits of business. Mon: the rudder of property, and un- regulated and unrestraimed, as it is at precent, ttis rapidly steering us to financial perdition and ruin. Popular endurance may ve too severely tried. What lg the governmént doing at preseat? It is levying forced loans on the public tn the shape of waxes to an unprecedented amount, and alternately hoarding and letting them loose ou the market in the most uncertain manner, creating aiternate scarcity of iunds and repletion. Hence the fluctuations of the mouey market, that suake the country to tts very centre, giving it carthquake shocks, wich cannot be stood much longer. Aud these crashes fall fnaily most severely on the prccie, What I pro- pose as a remeay is stmple, but have no doubt it would be efficacious, When President Washington asked Mr. Hamilton what was to be done with the (Revolutionaly; public debt Mr, Hamilton answered, ‘Bank upon it,’ So he did, but the profits of the operations of the bank went to make and swell pri vate fortunes, I do not propose that, I do propose the ereciton in New York—the great oaney centre of the country—of a National Council of Finauce, whose function {t shall ve to take charge of the public debt and the public revenues, and instead of using those great instrumentalities for private eimolument and purposes of specuiation bend them to the public profit and to the accruing of a firm and untiorm course in the money market.

It should be large enough in num- bers to command the respect and coufldeace of the people. I would at once take frem tho nauonai anks the power of issuing circulating bank notes, and give to the council the exciusive gonirel of the currency of the country. It should foun daily, tpoa adequate guarantees of payment, any funds ta its custody not required for the uses of the government; it should issue and loan gold hotes upon the govera- ment gold in its charge: It shouid issue such notes upon the gold of private depositors, and shouid col- lect upon lis loans such interest as would be war- ranted by its own judgmeut.
