Tok Lonpon Economist ox GENERAL Geant.—In another place in this day’s HezRatp will be found an articte which we repfint from the London Zeonomist. The article is conceived in a good spirit, as the editorials in that journal generally aro; and what it says regarding General Grant and his policy will be heartily appreviatea by many of our readers. It will be well if Great Britain takes the advice of the Heonomist and settles the Alabama claims with as little delay as possible, The vigorous and honest policy of ‘the President has spared the British govern- ment a world of trouble and not a little ex- pense. An opposite policy, the Hconomist shows, would have cost Great Britain more than the Alabama claims are worth. The latter part of the article, which points out the NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1870—TRIPLE SHEET. A Gabinet Crisle. It would soom that the excitement over the Cuban question in Washington, coupled with the unusual flerceness of the discussion in the House, will result in. a pretty general recon- struction of the Cabinet. Attorney General Hoar has resigned, and our despatch states that it is probable other members will follow him. ‘The President has stated to Senators that he ia determinod to have men around him who are acceptable to the repub- lican party and in harmony with it. The threatening aspect of the debate yesterday has most probably called for this concession on the part of Mr. Hoar and this statement on the part of the President, and, while we uphold the soundness of the message which’ has called forth such discussion, we cannot but commend the wisdom and promptiiude with which the~ President accedes to the popular sentiment as represented by the House, The Administration and the Case of Cuba, What do the friends of Cuba propose? With the resolution presented by Mr. Banks’ committee we find this fault—from the rejec- tion of such a resolution by either house or by both houses of Congress Spain in her inhu- man conduct of the contest in Cuba might draw very great comfort and encouragement, while in the adoption of the same resolution there would assuredly not be an equivalent favor for Cuba; for the resolution is far from exiravazant in the gttitude it proposes for the United States, It instructs the President to declare and maintain 9 strict neutrality hetween the parties ; it gives to Cuba for this purpose a quasi national position before our law by applying to her the statute of 1818, and it proposes a remonstrance to both sides against their acts of barbarous cruelty, There is so little in this to comfort any friend of Cuba that we do not see but what the President in his objections to granting belligerency is so near {o the chairman of the Gomutitee on Foreign Affairs that the difference between, chivalric and generous friend of Cuba. In his generous attitude thore is, perhaps, a suspicion of that rhetorical glory of our country—the spread eagle. General Grant is the President of the United States. When a man is a dis- tinguished member of the House he is then also a part of the government of a free people; but the obligations of duty do not always sit so heavily upon him but he can afford to feel as a free lance in a oause that touches his sympathies. Bat the Executive is not thus free. Flights of the imagination are not for him, more especially when his ship of State neods all that can possibly be given of plain practical attention to sail it safely. It is for hin to consider first of all the condition of the country especially committed to his care, and to view all that comes before him only in the light of that country’s welfare. Is there really any other difference between the administration and the party that is heard in the House in favor of Cuba? The vital point of the whole subject for us is, shall we or shall we not recognize the belligerency of the Cuban people? Grant is 6pposcd to such a recognition and Banks is not in favor of it, At least it must be so held, since, with all his fume, he does not lay before the House any definite proposition to commit the country to such a course. He says a great deal on the subject of the relations of Spain and Cuba and tho United States, some of which will doubtless be agreeable enough to the popular fancy, and much of which should be very painful if false and still more painful if true. The imputation, for instance, that a message sent to Congress from the President of the United States is prepared in the pay of Spain is not often sur- passed for malignity and meanness by the bitterest hostility of the partisan. It is in the style, indeed, of those scavengers of journalism who in their spleen affect to believe that the President permits the domestic circle of Mr. Hamilton Fish to influence the national policy. Mr. Banks, with this, says a great deal in regard to the propriety of protecting American citizens in foreign countries, and of our utter failure to do this, ia every syllable of which we will agree with him. But, as we have hitherto shown, this is a delinquency for which Con- gress is mora responsible than the President, It is one of the prices we pay for “economy.” Why, contrast our government with that of England in this regard? When would Congress vote the money to defend half difference between the Cabinet in Great Britain and the Cabinet in the United States, is well worth the consideration of our statesmen, adozen American citizens at the expense of such an excursion as the Abyssinian war? All this Mr, Banks proposes; but he does not pro- pose at last aay practical good for Cuba. . His resolution, at its utmost, puts Cuba on the same status with Spain in a general declara- tion of our neutrality. This might make it impossible for Spain to buy ships here when she no longer needs them; ‘and it might be held as a constructive recognition of a state of war, and 80 of her belligerency, but it would not yield any of the mofal support which is the most valuable thing she would get frem a pro-~ clamation of recognition. This, then, is not very practical friendship for Cuba, to present a measure that if carried does her no good, and if lost does her incalculable moral harm. And why is friend- ship limited to this? Mr. Banks no doubt is sincere if not practical in his advocacy of the Cuban cause; but that sincerity did not carry him to the length of proposing that we should assume an attitude of even unfriendliness to a foreign Power on account of Cuba. If, with his instincts of universal phi- lanthropy and his tenderness for fili- bustering that is an inheritance of his ancient democracy, he could propose so little, how much less might we expect from a gov- ernment that feels a full and honest responsi- bility for the discharge of its duties to the nation? The fact is the attitude taken by the administration is the only one possible for an honest, practical government; and though it opposes boldly a popular sentiment in favor of the name of freedom it must eventually secure the full support of the national common sense, We not only cannot afford war for the sake of Cuba, but we cannot afford the very shadow of war, nor the note of preparation. Our first duty is to ourselves and our creditors; and to be just wo must keep the peace, We are them is finally the rather insubsiantial one of tone and sentiment. Mr. Banks is the building up, after ouf great struggle, with un- paralleled energy and rapidity, and why shall we stop this process? Is the change that we may make Cuba what Mexico is a sufficient motive? Certainly not, Consider the conse- quences of embroiling onrselves in the quarrels of the Cubans—immedinte interruption of the payment of the debt; immediate decrease in the price of the bonds, financial confusién, a new lease of life for all tax laws, the cessa- tion of the vast emigration that is pouring in upon us, These are but the more immediately obvious of a train of evils, Let the people only weigh all this against the mere sentiment and rhetoric on the other side, and they will see how clearly and practically Grant is in the right. Unfortunately, however, our sym- pathies are too apt to run away with our practical ideas, and it is highly probable that the clear common sense of the President will be overslaughed entirely to-day by the senti- mentality of such dashing leaders in the House as Logan and Banks. Affairs in Japan. The latest news from Japan received by tele- graph from San Francisco is very interest: ing and decidedly volcanic, To commence the intelligence, we learn that the most violent earthquake which has occurred there since 1855 has just destroyed several villages. The information is not very precise as to where the shocks took place, nor to the exact extent of the injury, but from the fact that the great volcano of Asamazama, in the island of Niphon, which for centuries has been slumbering like a baby, has suddenly broken out in a furious eruption, accompanied by violent earthquakes and the total destruction of many villages, it is possible that this is the location referred to. Vol- i? * za . 2 cante influences appear to prevail in the Chinese and Japanese waters, seeming as though the electric chain which began in Mexico and South America had formed a connection inthe Northern Pacific. Thé Saptain of a bark re, ports that when two hundred miles from Yoko- hama he observed a volcano at sea, the crater of which was visible above the surface of the gocean, The water around, as geen from the deck of the vessal, appeared to be in a boiling condition, and vast clouds of steam were issuing from the crater, This phenomenon,’ taken in connection with the late earthquakes in Cali- fornia, Mexico andthe South American States, shows that there is a mysterious volcanic con- vulsion underlying this whole line of the tropical regions. There are a few other more pleasant and peaceful items of news from Japan indicating social progress in that flowery region. The Japanese government have granted permis- sion for the establishment of a school for the instruction of native youths in foreign lan- guages and in military and naval tactics, The troops of the government also are now drilled after the European and American sys- tems. Much of this advancement towards civilization is due to the intersourse of Americans and the general influence which this country has exercised of late years among the Oriental nations. Unequal Taxation—A Claim for State Banks. It is always unwise to impose taxes in an unequal manner, and wherever ft isdone a re- action will arise; for nothing is-more true than that the public sympathizes with any interest which seems to be oppressed. To one of the most glaring inequalities of the taxation of capital attention is now being called in dif- ferent paris of the country. We allude to the tax of ten per cent on State bank circulation, while that of national banks is only taxed one per cent. The only possible defence this ac- tion is capable of is that as a war measure it seemed necessary to make the whole circulat~ ing medium of the country contribute means to carry on the contest; and insomuch as the boldest statesman did not presume to deny the rights of the States to charter their own banks, the plan of forcing them to ¢ontribute to the national fiuances by taxing them out of ex~- istence was tried. Now the war is over, let us go back to our own institutions, The State Banking law of New York is far better than the National Currency act; in fact, it was its progenitor, and the child is not equal to the parent, being hedged around with difficulties which the State law is free from. It transfers to -the federal capital the power over the finances of all the commercial paris of the country, which can far better be exercised at home in each locality. Now we ask Congress to see that when a tax bill relating to banks is passed that in ex- press words it is stated ‘‘there shall be no greater tax levied on any of the franchises of any State bank than is imposed on the na- tional banks.” This is justice, this is equity and only fair dealing. oor . w a .% a. Coonan and the rest of Brooklyn seem to get more and more excited over the dif- ficuity regarding Dr. ‘Carnochan’s jurisdiction as Health Officer of the port of New York.

Brook- lyn must not get too proud. She must remem- ber that she is a suburb—a very nice, agreeable one, too—but still only a suburb, and Dr. Cochran ought to have some friend tell him that he is, as 1t were, only a deputy, and that neither Dr. Carnochan nor the Quarantine Commission nor.the Board of Health nor any one else that we can call to mind is subject to his orders, Tag REVISION oF THE BrBte.—An attempt was made in the British House of Commons on Tuesday night to have a commission appointed to revise the translation of the Holy Scrip- tures. Mr, Gladstone, speaking for the gov- ernment, made some very suitable and sen- sible remarks. According to him a revision was of doubtful utility. Better leave such mat- ters in the hands of the ecclesiastical authorities. King James’ version does very well. We doubt whether an improved translation is a possi- bility... At any rate another authorized version would have its drawbacks. The inconveni- ences of a new version might more than coun- terbalance the advantages. For all ordinary readers the present authorized version, with all its imperfections, is satisfactory enough. Those who wish to dig more deeply into the Congress—The Franking Bill, tho Coal | cable from Paris we learn that the Privces of Question and tho Cuban Resolutions. the House of Orleans have come to the rescue A bill to regulate the method of paying | and have sent six thousand france towards pensions was passed in the Senate yesterday.

The resurrection of an old Roman turn to collect their little pittance, exposed to | amphithea!re does not fit in with his plans. all kinds of weather, and in some cases neces- sarily neglecting important duties elsewhere. The bill ought to provide some remedy for these evils, and the proposition to pay pension- ers through postal money orders seems to us a good. suggestion. The Vranking bill was again considered, but without any final action. _The coal question came up in the House, and the bill to relieve that article from all tariff. duties and internal taxes was recom- mitted to the Ways and Means Committee, whence it emanated, A minority report was submitted which relieves coal of all tariff duties only, and as Mr. Schenck, the chair- man of the committee, stated that he favored the latter report, although be was, away whev it was considered, it seems highly pro- bable that a bill in harmony with the latter report will be next submitted. Either bill will tend to relieve the people of some of the heavy burdens now imposed upon them in this matter of coal; but the recommitted bill is so strongly in the interests of the Pennsylvania mine owners that the benefits granted them by it almost over- balance any benefit to the people. The mi- nority bill, however, which simply adinits all coal free of duty, is plain enough in its terms to render ineffectual the most exaggerated strikes that the coal mining fraternity could possibly get up for the purpose of bulling the coal market, One.pf the evils of absentocism was painfully exemplified in these reporis gn the coal question, It seems tat two #7 ys ~usmbers of the committe Wore ont when the reports Were agreed upon ia commiltee, both of whom favored the minority report, _ and their presence would have transposed the position of the documents so that the minority would have beon the majority report. General Garfield's Cuteéiey bill was farther debated and finally passed. The Cuban reso- lution was, of course, the most exciting topic. The discussion has been long unequalled in point of interest. The biggest guns in the House were ranged against one another— Banke, Logan, Butler, Wood—in a heavy artil- lery hammering, and all the lighter infantry were keeping up a noisy and deadly hail of small shot, Finally, amid some confusion as to the rulings, a test vote was taken, which shows a heavy majority in favor of Banks’ resolutions, and the House adjourned until to-day, when the subject will be renewed. European Despatches by Mail. Our special correspondence from-Europe, to hand by the latest mail, supplies a very interest- ing und useiul news budget. Our writers date in Berlin, Paris and Londen. They, speak of re- ligion, diplomacy, dress fashions, -chivalry, national debts and democracy. From Berlin we have the complete text of the note which was addressed by the North German government to Cardinal Antonelli on the subject of Papal infallibility. Minister Von Arnim is both tempe- rate and respectful towards the Pontificate. The Prussian goverament, indeed, acts, as is officially shown in the document, not only as Greenbacks Doomed~The Bank Power Supreme. It is clear now, from the voting in the House of, Representatives. on the national currency question, that the majority of the members are in favor of increasing the national bank circulation, and of pushing the legal tenders out of existence. This was seen when Mr, Garfield’s substitute for the Senate Cur- roncy bill was up on Tucsday, and yosterday, when it was passed by a vote of 98 yeas to 81 nays. This bill as it now stands authorizes an additional isswe of ninety-five millioas of national bank notes, and requires the cancel- lation of forty-five millions of three per cent certificates. Several amendm nts were pro- posed to Mr. Garfleld’s bill, to issue more legal tenders and to make the entire circulation of the country a legal tender or greenback one, and to withdraw the national bank currency. These were voted against by a large majority, which shows that the national bank influence is supreme in the House of Representatives. It is the same, no doubt, in the Senate, The next movement will be to withdraw allogether the legal tenders, and to give the whole circu- lation of the country to the banking associa- tions. One of the inost sigyificani votes was that om {9 proposition {fie Uo couard; requiring national \nks to retain and keep in Goth or Treasury coin certiAcaieg, as part of | thee reserve | Fes Hig > h vie esi te Interest falling due upon the vonds deposited as secirity for circulation until the reserve required to be kept shall consist wholly of coin and coin certificates, This proposition, which contemplated bringing the banks to specie payménis or a specie basis, was rejected. Of course, as we have fre- quenily said, the national banks do not want and never will want to return to a specie basis. Why should they desire such a vast amount of dead ‘capital being locked up and unprofitable as there would be‘if they were compelled to keep a reserve of coin or coin certificates? This would take away a large amount of the profits on their currency circula- tion, and nobody goes so far against his own interests, The national banks will never find it to their interest to return to specie pay- ments, and, with the vast power they have over Congress and in the country, it will be very difficult to force them to any measure to which they may be opposed. With the whole circulation of the country in their hands—some six hundred millions or more—they will have an annual profit of nearly forty millions in gold. Rightly all of this belongs to the people and should go into the Treasury. But the banks have got the power and will keep it. More than half the members of Congress, propably, are interested directly or indirectly in the national banks,.and these so-called representatives of the people.are simply legis- lating for themsel: Pir Sambo’s We have already shown by statistics that the attendance of the colored population in the South at church had shown an alarming The Nattoyal oul in Danger. the friend and ally of Napoleon in his | decrease since the war.

Tue OnreNTALS IN MAssAonusETTs.—Now that Johnny Coolie has made his advent in an industrious shoemaking town in Massachusetts bearing the name of Adams—after a rather warm welcome, to bo gure—ow long will it be hofofe he will be entitled to ail the preroga- tives of American eitizenship, the elective franchise and all? It will be a queer state of things in the future to see Massachusetis fighting for Chinese citizenship and California againat it. But it will be the old war of Massa- chusetts and South Carolina over again, “Hub” can never be quiet so long as there is a wooily-iicaded nigger or a pig-tailed coolie to be provided with that “inestimable boon of freedom”—the right to vote. Virarsta—“‘Orp Timzs Comina Back Once More.”—The corps cadets of the Vir- ginia Military School, Lexington, will give a grand ball to the graduating class on the uinety-fourth anniversary of American Inde- pendence, Monday, July 4.

We congratulate the ancient Dominion upon ‘‘old times coming back once more.” In this connection we may state that the Washington Literary Society of self-sacrificing, strong-mioded schoolmarms, and others philanthropically inclined in New England, to lend a hand to save the perishing soul of poor Sambo ere it sinks into darkness and oblivion forever, TrovsLe IN Norrim Caro.wa.—Governor Holden apprehends some trouble in North Carolina, as we should judge from his order just issued to each militia general in the State to raise one white regiment for immediate active service, These regiments are to be uniformed, paid and disciplined the same as federal troops.

BROTHER AGAINST BROTUER. Billiards at the ‘“Drive”—Joseph Dion Again Victorious. Joseph and Cyrille Dion played a friendly game of four-ball caroms on a standard table last evening at “The Drive” of W. B. aud J, Askins, corner Sixth avenue and Filty-third street. Mauy celebri- ues were present. The playing began at ten o'clock P. M. and resulted in victory for Joseph Dion, who won the game, max- tug 600 points to his opponent's 172. Jo-epn Dion again manifested the same skill which has been recorded in thes? columns during his ‘late trial games. His largest run was 226, which was easily accomplished by swift and unconstrained playing, He also made several. runs above eighty, On the cushion, in draw and in geueral play he did excel. lently. His brother’s execution indicated no special powers beyond rapidity of counts, It is very doubtful of this is a quality at all favorable to victory. Cer- tainly Cyrille Dion is not the player that bis brother 1s, and it will require considerable practice to de- monstrate that he is a fit competitor for the most export living billlardist, Some ditiicult fancy shots were tried at the close of the geame by Joseph ion, and were executed amid loud applause, All in ail, the playing last evening was too hasty and ill-con- sidered to be taken ag an index of the powers of tie competing Lrotire A BROOKLYN SE SATIONAL QUERY. + emarnomt Pes a hoe ae : What Became df the Kuuds Received in Aid of the Widows and Orphans of the Fire Department t+ A statement which reflects rather seriously on some ofthe gentlemen having charge of the Widows and Orphans’ fund of the Brooklyn Fire Depart- ment has got abroad and 1s creating considera- ble excitement among those who have used thelr efforts to increase the fund. At the annual ball of the old Volunteer Department, held at tne Brooklyn Academy of Music in 1869, the sum of $2,500, it 1s said, was realized; this amount the out- siders believed was added to the fund. Such, how- ever, was not the case. One of the members of the Finance Committee, Mr. Joseph Legaett, took charge of the money, and romised to hand it over to Frederick Massey, the yeusuter. Nearly two weeks after, when the coin- mittee had made their returns and settled up their accounts, Mr. Leggett was cailed upon for tie money. He said he did not have the money at hand, but ifthey entertained any fears in regard to it he would give them as security an insurance policy on his life. Mr. Massey took the policy, tt is suid, and after having possession of it for some tte dis- covered that the document was not worth the paper On which it was written, the life insurance company be ng defunct. There are various stories circulated in regard to the misappropriation of this money, and Mr. Leggett not the only one who is hela to blame in the matter, Had the fund been any other but that of the poor widows and orphaus of doveased firemen the ieeling of imdignation Would not be so intense. ny express the hope that the rumor now 1p ciré ‘ton may prove toa great extent unfounded. It is ceriain that the wid- Ows and orphans will not suffer the loss of the money, Jor several high-spirited gentlemen have sig- nified their consent to get up some enteviatnmeuts to replace the amount, During @ fight last evening, ot No, 1 Whitehall street, between Lawrence Sullivan und wife, a mun, pamed John O'Brien, restding in the same buliding, interfered to shield the weaker vessel. Sullivan be- came so enraged at O'Brien's interference that he drew a knife and with force plun; it into the ab- domen of O’Brien, who was sent Bellevue Hospi- tal in a critical condition by order of Police Surgeon Andrews. Sullivan was arrested and incarverated | in the New Street Police siati oa.
