There is mach in the book that ia interesting aod instructive, but We find neither broad and original thought nor high literary skill. When we find Mr. Skinner constantly using the ‘ecbnical term “sudragan” (which has no mean- that one should not assume to teach what he does the Treasury, favors the resumption of specie payments within « Oxed term of two years, defends the mational bank system against the plan of abolishing its circulation by a substitution of legal tenders, but insists that. the $19,000,000 proat on this circutation should be taken from the banks and enure to the people; shows the fallacy and costli- eas of funding schemes, and advocates the steady and entire extinction of the national debt. On the tariff question Mr. Skinner is a firm protection tat. mot orginal with Mr. Skinner. It has several times been proposed in the shape of bills offered in Congress by cross-road politicians, who thought their districts unfairly treated in the distribution of patronage, and once it actually passed the House of Representatives, but was consigned to merited Oblivion in the Senate. The truth is, no scheme of civil service reform is worth the paper on which it fe printed which does not abandon all such arbi: trary arithmetical and childish methods of selec- tion, and make a certain probation, or trial of abil- ities by actual service, a stepping stone in appointments to office. Mr. Skinner is not more Tational where he proposes to make postmasters ‘lective by the people. His book contains a valu- “able table of the approximate number of officers '} employe in our civil service, with their aggregate salaries, which, as it purports to be made up from OMicial sources, we abbreviate for the reader:. “A ate Oftcers. ‘Solartes.

LINDA AND Pasquin. By Francis 8. Saiters, Sutton & Co. Under the title of “Linda and Pas- quin” Mr, Salters presents us with a poetic ren- dering of an old Spanish legend which possesses some elements that ought to have secured it ob- livion. Perhaps we cannot better characterize the story than by a line of the authers:— A tale of tancy weird—if not mad — But, while we think the subject scarcely a fit one to write about, we must allow the treat- ment is at times marked by a picturesqueness and vigor full of promise. Mr. Salters has an artist’s eye for color and effects, but, unfortunately, has not yet acquired the power of conveying his thoughts with precision. Many of the lines are of quite remarkable beauty and power; but in many cases the effect is spoiled by the injudicious selec- tion of words. A little care would have made the author avoid the mistake of sending his hero pvrgn a chorus” and at the same time bio from his-lips ‘thick clouds of opalescent hue.” But, in spite of inaccuracies of language, this little work gives promise of better things. OBITUARY. Right Rev. Bishop Goss. The Right Rev. Doctor Goss, Roman Catholic Bishop of Liverpool, England, has just died sud- aenly, at the college building of the church in that town. The right reverend gentleman attended divine service in the college during the morning, and at four o’clock in the afternoon visited some few of the boicaaih Catholic schools in the district. As he was sitting down to dinner at half-past six o’clock in the evening he was taken unwell. Dr. Bickerstaff was soon in ae but the hay sad mever oe consciousness. was born 1814.

Aiter his admission to the priesthood he and the Rev. Canon Fisher established St. Ed- ward's College, for the education of ecclesiastical and lay students. Right Reverend Bishop Gray. From the Cape of Good Hope we are informed of the death of the Right Reverend Dr. Gray, Bishop of Cape Town and Metropolitan of South Africa, according to the vote of the Protestant Episcopal Church. The deceased was -three years of age, ha been born in 1909 at Bishop Wear- mouth, in ham, England. He ‘Was educated at d_ afterwards at Oxford. He became per- been condemned by the convocation of the province of Canterbury in 1664.

Threatened Collection of the New York Central Scrip Dividend Tax, Wasurwaron, Oct. 17, 1872. Anether Cuban Expedition on Foot— ‘The Position of “General” Ryan. While Generat Martin MacMahon, Ramon Oegpedes and Jos¢ Mayorga are attending to the aduirs of the Cuban patriots in New York, General W, A. 0. Ryan is busily engaged here in getting up @nother Alibustering expedition, with which, he Says, he expects to be able to upset all the calcula- fions of the Spanish Cabinet and place the means of franchisement in the hands of the struggling insurgents. Ryan has been at work on this new venture for the past six weeks and now expresses the utmost confidence in its success. According to his statements—confidentially made here to-day—ke has recently received assurance from patriots in Cuba that within a week from the time of landing an expedition a force of 10,000 sol- diers can be rallied to his standard, and that if a determined stand can be made in any part of the island a body of insurgents may soon be gathered together formidable enough to hold the territory against any army th@Captain General will be able to bring to bear. The promised accession ofa fresh force Of 16,000 Spanist soldiery has by no means served to intimidate the Cubans, and they say now ts the time to strike, if ever, With this in view Ryan ciaims to have already obtained subscriptionsin this city amounting in the aggregate to $185,000, of which sum $25,000 are promised by one of the reai- dent foreign Ministers, Such a guarantee he consid- ere sufficient. He is now under bonds in over two hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars, but expresses the determination not to let that deter him. Negotiations for the purchase of a fast sail- ing schooner of four hundred tons burden have already been commenced. The project, a8 mear as can at this time be ascertained, is to fit out the vessel asa ‘longshore merchant- man, load her with wood aud put to sea. The cargo will then be thrown overboard or transferred to lighters, and the belligerent cargo placed on the schooner. This will consist of a privateer’s arma- ment for the schooner and an extensive assortment of munitions of war for the insurgent forces. Exactly what the latter will be is not yet decided, but will probably include 20,000 stand of arms (Springfield or Enfield rifles), 10,000 revolvers, several cannon and large quantities of ammunition of all kinds. It is proposed to trans- port all of these stores from some coastwise point between Florida and Massachusetts, while the schooner will probably sail from Boston or Balti- more. It is the intention of Ryan to use the schooner, after landing his expedition, entirely as a privateer, for which purpose he elaims to hold letters of marque from the Cuban Republic. The operations of the privateer will be confined to the capture of the smaller Spanish armed craft, which will be pressed into the service of the insurgents, and to preying upon the Spanish commercial ma- rine. It tg hoped that by this means a useful navy may be secured for the Republic,,and, once on ana- tional basis, tM® patriots have no doubts that the United States government will recognize them as a belligerent Power. While matters continue as at Present there would seem to be no hope for the Re- public. The United States do not care to become involved in any Spanish dificul- ties, and the censor of the State Depart- ment will only favor the insurgents when they attain a sufficiently formidable basis. By the capture of Spanish merchantmen and their car- goes, Ryan expects to furnish the sinews of war as well as at the same time fill his own pockets. He makes no secret of the latter intention, and says he can clear $500,000 for himself in six months. The schooner will carry 500 volunteers, a consider- able portion of whom will be composed of Cubans in this country, the whole to be officered with patriots and ex-soldiers who obtained distinction during the late rebellion. Upon landing the cargo @ reserve of the volunteers will be retained on board to work the privateer, the rest being dis- tributed among the several commands of the Cuban forces. If everything should turn out as expected the expedition will be under way on the 1st of December, so as to reach the island early in our Winter. The above are Ryan's confidential statements, ‘There is no doubt he is in earnest to carry out the plan to the letter, and is now in correspondence with various parties in the United States with re- gard to the arms, equipments, &c., of the expedi- tion, It does not appear, however, that he has the entire sympathy of the Cubans in this country. A prominent gentleman here, who has long been in favor of according to Cuba belligerent rights and who has been in many ways connected with the cause, says Ryan has lost caste with José Mayorga, authorized Cuban agent in New York, and ought not tobe trusted with any more ventures of the kind he has been undertaking. This gentleman explicitly alleges that Ryan has repeatedly sold out the cause of the insurgents, and he bases his alle- gation on the following grounds :— Ryan's past reputation in New York. The fact that more money can be made by giving information to the Spanish authorities which would lead to the destruction of an expedition than by joining honestly in the cause, The fact that Ryan is no Cuan and the supposi- tion that he is following the business simply be- cause of the profit and notoriety it gives him, The statements frequently made, and apparentiy warranted by the Fannie affair, that Ryan isa coward, whereas the’man who enters upon a fili- bustering undertaking of this nature in good faith must be a man of no little intrepidity. The fact that he has invariably failed in his expe- ditions. The fact that he always furnishes information before hand to the press of his intentions, The fact that while his companions often suifer the fate entailed by their daring he is never cap- tured himself. ‘The fact that there are hundreds of places on the Cuban coast at which an expedition can be landed safely. ‘These are, in brief, the points finde by this gentle. man, and it is well known here, in certain circles, that they are widely credited. A letter from New York, exhibited here to-day, repeatg these argu- ments, and says in conclusion :— e govern: 0 tue Unltd Staten and the deadly oe of Coban inde: pendence. Buta worse foe than the Spanish gov- ernment are the traitors among us.

They would seom to deeply implicate Ryan. On the other hand he claims to have authority from Cespedea and Ma- yorga to proceed with the undertaxing, and ap- pears determmed to do #0, Admiral Polo.

The qfort of designing parties to stir up trouble with them, and thus prevent their peaceable removal, has been a perfect failure, The New York Central Scrip Dividend ‘Tax. No recent action has been taken in the New York Central Railroad case, which stands as it did three or four months ago, when the acting Secretary of the Treasury and Commissioner Dougiass, after consultation, agreed to throw no obstacie in the way of the company’s taking the matter in contro- versy before the courts by suit against the Collec- tor of Internal Revenue, The representatives of the cor y, who were here at that time, have received information of this fact. It will be recol- lected the amount due the government by the company as assessed is something less than five hundred thousand dollars, From present indica- tions the Treasury authorities will not wait much longer for the action of the company, but com- mence the collection of the money. Dental of the Assault on the Colored Na- val Cadet. ‘The Navy Department has received information from the. Naval Academy that there is no founda- tion for the report of the assault on the colored cadet Conyears. The Superintendent has carried out the instructions of the Secretary not to allow any breach of disciptiue, and It is believed that the report of the assault so generally circulated from Annapolis was invented for political purposes, The Visiting Knights Tomplars, ‘he Washington Commandery of Knights Temp- lars of Hartford, Conao., now on a visit here, marched in a body to the White House this morn: ing and paid their respects to the President.
