but real. The question is, how can they be paid? Not by money, as the insurance com- ’ claims can, for they cannot be esti- in that way; but some compensation :eould be made. Is England prepared to act in a broad, liberal and friendly spirit to settle this matter, If so this might be done by a cession of territory, by opening the colonial fisheries and freeing the navigation of the St. Lawrence to our citizens, by liberal commer- cial treaties, or by some other way. Let England propose a settlement om such o friendly and liberal basis, and this Alabama difficulty may be removed at once and forever. ‘ Mere Developments tn the Building Murder, ( whe testimony of the numerous experts ‘takea by the Coroner in the building murder Anvesiigacion on Tuesday, including architects, masons, carpenters and mortar mixers, was ‘very conflicting in many points, and in its general tenor evidently leaned towards an ex- culpation of the parties who might be deemed wesponsible. But with all the attempts to prove that the building was well put up, that the materials, including the mortar, were of euch excellent quality as to render the build- ding safe, there stand the ruins—the tomb of four fellow beings—to prove that it was not safe; that it fell to pieces before the Atst jheavy gust of wind that struck it. From the very contradictory erfdence, how- ever, we gather that the mo” cause of the ‘disaster was the dangerous ¢apidity with which ‘the building was put uz. The mason himself was forced to admit tat he thought the work was being hurried on too quickly for the immense height of the building, and that the walls were not thick enough to sustain seven stories of a comparatively narrow structure. He suggested this to Mr. ‘Hale, che proprietor, who answered that he was building the house “accerding ‘to law, and was not going beyond the law in what he was doing.” If he is right then we want a very much more stringent law with wegard to the erectioa of buildings, and we hope that the Legislature will enact such a ‘one at its coming session. * Was it not the business of the Inspector of Buildings to see that this honse was being erected in a dangerously short space of time, and to have arrested the progress of the work immediately? Two witnesses—men of expe- rience in such matters—swore that a building of this size and character could not be put up with safety in less than from three to five months ; whereas the building on Thirty-fifth street was put up, from foundation to roof, in forty-five days. This Is one ef the many evils attending the go-ahead character of our peo- ple. We blow up steamboats; we run trains duto smash; we rush things too quickly some - times, without any regard to consequences— rush them often, as in this case, to ruin and @eath. Shopkeeper Detectives. The arrest of several ladies on the unproved ebarge of theft in an uptown dry goods store and their discharge by the Court has occa- sioned in private and in the newspapers an ex- traordinary amount of comment. If the ar- rests had been the result of a preconcerted plan for securing at just this propitious time ofthe year an immense and ubiquitous and gratuitous advertisement no surer means could have been adopted for the purpose. Perhaps some still more ingenious plan may yet be de- vised for accomplishing a similar purpose by arresting the wives of well known men, such, for instance, as Horace Greeley or Henry Ward Beecher, should they chance to go shop- ping during the Christmas and New Year's holidays, No amount of swearing or of elo- quence could prevent their being marched off to the police station. Even if, after confine- ment in the Tombs, they should bring suils for false imprisonment, the fines that the prosecu- tors might be compelled to pay would be but a mere bagatelle in comparison with the total cost of an advertisement in each and every newspaper throughout the land. The letter of regrets and explanation published by the proprietor of the store in which three or four ladies were lately arrested does not make a very strong point by intimating that it was strange they should complain when a hundred others had been arrested before them without making any fuss about it. The point would be stronger had the hundred previous victims of ever-zealous vigilance on the part of inexpert although well-intentioned, female detectives been found guilty. Even persons discharged as innocent of “‘kleptomania” would naturally avoid giving disagreeable publicity to the fact that such a charge, however ill- founded, had ever been preferred against them. As we have already suggested, some better methed of guarding against theft or klepto- mania might be invented taan feeing young girls to “play detectives.” Real detectives weuld certainly be preferable, and it would then be unnecessary to reassure cust emers by placarding on the windews, ‘Ladies not arrested here.” Ladies, it must be allowed, have some rights that shopkeepers are bound to respect, A Case of Parental Cruelty. A habeas corpus case, involving some very shocking allegations of cruelty on the part of parents towards a young girl, is now occupy- ing the attention of the Supreme Court of Brooklyn. If the allegations of the girl be true she was most grossly abused by ber parents—burned with hot irons and beaten with sticks—and finally carried off to the House of the Good Shepherd at Yorkville, from which establishment she is now produced in court on the writ aforesaid. But the most grievous part of her complaint appears to be the cruelty of her incarceration in the House of the Good Shepherd, where, as she states, she was compelled to associate with two hundred and fifty girls, the majority of whom had led vicious lives, and during all the time of her confinement was ‘‘compelled to listen to vile and obscene conversation,” This is a grave charge to make against an institution which is devoted to the reform of female youth. It can hardly be possible tbat the allegation is capable of being sustained, in view of the known worth of this establish- ment, The complainant probably went too far in making this statement, and may have damaged the value of her other testimony by so doing should this charge be proved false. Hersongr V. Jounson ror Vick Prrat- DENT.~—The mention of the name of ex-Gov- ernor Herschel V, Jehusop, of Georgia, in connection with the Vice Predidency om the democratic ticket is hailed with much satirfac- tion by the Southern papers.

Tne New Posr Orrige—Goov News.--We leara from Washington that the Committee on Appropriations are entirely satistied with the charaeter of the work on the new Post Office building, and will recommend a handsome appropriation to carry on the work as soon as possible, This will be good news for thou- sands of workingmen, who will obtain emplay- ment upon the building as soon as the weeber permits a resumption of operations, it will be well received also by the whole community ; for every one is interested in sewig the Pout Office completed at the earliest possible day, ‘There is no branch ef the gorernment service which stands so much in need of extensive accommodations as the Fost Office department in this city. The only drawback to the pro- gress of the ne# structure has been the want of money, When this is liberally supplied by Congress, as lt now appears likely to be, we hope shat there will be no delay in hastening the work to completion.

Auditor Bell’s Report on Canal ANairs—Fuil- ure of the New System—In: of Canals to Compete with Ruilronds for the ary. ing Trade—The Comptroiler’s Keport Come pleted. ALBANY, Dec, 28, 1870, The report of Auditor Bell on canai affairs, which is nearly ready for the press, and which will be pre- sented to the Legislature on Tuesday next, will be unusually clavorate and Interesting. He shows that the change in canal management inaugurated this year by an act of the last Legisiature has proved au utter failure, and that even the sink- ing }und has had to be drawn upon to meet deticien- cies in the earnings. He declares it to be an unwise policy to seek to compete for the carrying trade by reducing the toils below a remunerative point, and claims that the canals qvill get a legitimate share of business at fatr tolls. The causes ef the present condition of canat aifairs are brought prominentiy to view in the report, and (be Auditor points out a safe and eco- nomical course to pursue. He shows that our carry- ing facilities by rail and canal are superior to these of any other State leading from the West to the East; that, consequently, they must secure the Jargest share of the trade, and that, in tact, they are in advance and beyond the present supply. The report is systemutically and convenientiy classified into separate articles, and 0 plainly and’ clearly written as to be understood by the most superficlal reader, ‘The Comptroiier’s report, which 1s also nearly ready to print, 18 long and very comprehensive. it will be sent to the Legislature ‘Tuesday next.

The first and the last are doubtful, and the leaders of the republican party are of the opinion that even with Grant for a candidate no hing can save them but the vlunders of the democracy. Should the democrats pat forward candidates with @ good record and a decent platform there seems to be litle doubt. of their success. The republicans, however, seem confilent that the democrats will re- peat the folly of 1855, and thus enable them to re tain power. The Forcign Commerce of the Principal Na- tions of the Globe. Joseph Nimmo, Jr., Chief of the Tonnage Division of the Treasury Depariment, has prepared an illus. trated chart graphically representing the foreign commerce of the twenty principal nations of the globe. ft gives the total of both im- ports and exports, together with the relative per centage of each nation’s trade for the year 1 to the aggr Argentine Republi Portugal. Greece. san Salvad Guatemala. Costa Rica. From the above it will be seen that the per cent- age of Great Britain Is one-third of the entire amount, France about one-fifth and the United States one-ninth. Responsibility of Port Collectors—Laws that Need Amendi The deticiency in the iaw governing the responsi- bility of Mcials in principal positions calls for an immediate amendment. Collectors of customs and collectors of internal revenue are required to give vonds in large sums for the faith!ul performance of their duty, while they are made virtually responsible for the acts of their subordinates. Within the last two years there have peen several heavy defaications on the part of deputy collectors of cus- toms and revenue, and, according to the provisions of the law, the principals are bound to make good the amount siolen; but Congress invariably passes a relief act, enabling the collectors to escape the responsibility, and this, too, on the ground that the principal having no knowledge of the transaction until the matter has transpired, it 18 not just to make him pay su) that would ordinarily ruin the majority of these officials, A case in point were the defalcations of Bowerman and Wilson, at the Balti- more Custom House, The defalcations com. menced before the present collector am» sumed the duties of the port, and Congreas will be cailed upon to relieve that ofmMcial of the responsibility exacted in his bond, Treasury officials seem to think the law should be amended so as to make the deputies and cashiers of customs bonded officers, they being daily the custodians of large suns and have opportunities for practising frauds that even the principals do not have, A least, the way the law stands the government 1s tn. variably the loser in every case of defalcation, and the ebject of the law Is practicaliy yet justiy de feated. Statements of Exports and Imports, The Bureau of Statistics farnisies a comparative statement of Imports and exports (spactal value) for the nine montis ending on September 30, 1509, ana | §% 1870, ‘The imports 1n 1869 were $34,677,685; domes- Uc exports, $249,181,008; foreign, exports, $271,452,307.

Several members of the North Carolina Legisla- ‘ure who arrived here to-day state that Governor Holden concedes his impeachment, and that tt is doubtful whether he will attempt any defence or ‘hat he will have any eminent counsel to conduct ‘he case for hun.
