It is said that Mr. Secretary Fisit has com- Municated to the Senate's Committee on Foreign Affairs the papors relating to the xelebrated note which Gen. SicKLEs present- ed to the Spanish Government in Sep tember last, in compliance with orders from Washington, and thon withdrew egein in compliance with — similar Ordérs, These papers were not included ‘among the documents on the Cuban question submitted to Congress in consequence of a Yesolution calling for them; Dut it seems Bhat the Senate’s Comiffittoo has required Mhem, and that they have been furnished. Mr. Fist, howeves, enjoins entire secrecy. pon the Committee. He does not wish the people to know what these papers contain. He thinks it is proper for the ralers of this Tepublic to manage the affais of their con Btituents just as monarchs manage thoirs, treating their suljects as of no account. We dare say that there is good reason why Mr. Fist should desire to keep the Popers in question from publicity. ‘They cannot be croditable to him or to the Prosi- dent, or indeed to anybody, unless it be Mr. Smpxey Wenster, hs son-in-law—Spain’s hired advocate. The note of Gon, SicKiEs, the reply of tho Spanish Government, the second note of Sickixs humbly withdraw the first, are all things which the American people would not be pleased with if they should see them. What if it should appear— and we have good reason for believing that the papers, if published in fall, would show it—that the first note was hambly wit drawn bocause the Spanish Go threatenod wor if it was not withdrawn ? wuld a-fact of that sort be yrateful to the Y«..Xeq, nation? Would it reconcile them to having a Secretery of State with his son- in-law under Spanish pay, while the father. in-law was negotiatiag with Spain upon mat- ters vitally concerning our national interesis and our national honor ? Secrocy is proper in diplomacy, as in every- thing else, while tho business it deals with is still unfivished. But the business treated in the SIcKLEs papers is completed. There is no reason for keoping thom private any longer, except to cover up the shame which Gen. Grant and Mr. Fisu, under the guid ance of Sipncy Weneten, have inflicted upon the country in their betrayal of the Cubans and their truckling to Prim and Sexnano. * ne A Curious Feature of the new Judiciary Article. At the General Term of the Supreme Court now lying held in this city by Jus tices LyGRAnAM, Bannarp, and Brapy, poveral cases which were called on Monday were said to have been heard previously by one or another of these three Judges when sitting in other branches of the Court, Their attention being thus called to the fact, they Geclined to hear any appeals from orders which bad been made by any one of them; and this refusal was based upon the pro- wision contained in the new judiciary article of the Constitution, which forbids any Judge to sit in review of his own decisions. The Constitutional prohibition, which the General Term of this district is the first to Fecognize, is generally regarded as a very proper one. There can beno doubt that the powers of original jurisdiction and the ap- pellate functions of a Judge should never be applied to the same case. Unless, however, a change is made in the organization of General Terms, some curious results will proceed from the adoption of the new judi- clary article, Suppose, for example, that an application is made toa Judge at chambers for an inj unc- tion. Of course he will not grant It without an examination of the grounds on which it is applied for. fhe finds that there is such a prima facie case a8 will justify an injunc tion, he grants it. Soon afterward, the at- torney for the parties who are enjoined makes motion at Special Term for the dissolution of the injunction. This is upon previous notice to the opposite party, and before a Judge other than him who granted the injune- tion. After hearing argument by the coun- sel on each side, it is decided that the injunc- tion must be continued. Two Judges have already pronounced in its favor; and an ap- peal from the last decision is now made to the General Term, The General Term for each district is held by three Judges of the Supreme Court, for the hearing and decisiom of appeals only, The opinions” sue majority is the opinion of the Court, Oar injunction comes before it, on an appeal from the order made at Special Term, by which it was sustained. Two of the Justices of the General Term pronounce in favor of ite dissolution: the third dia sents, and thinks it ought to remain in force ; but, nevertheless, under this decision it must be dissolved. Although it has been sus- tained by three Judges—first by the Judge quently, however, when the Judiciary be reorganized according to the pe apy j Constitution. — The Alabama Claims and Cuban Inde= pendence. We have repeatedly shown that one of the main grounds on which the Administration seeks to justify its cowardly conduct toward Cuba fs the fear that if it purines a genuine American policy on this subject, it may es tablish precedents which the British Minis- tty will try to twist to their advantage in tho negotiations over tho Alabama claims. How little we are to gain by this line of diplomacy is seen in the tone of public opinion in England, as exemplified in the comments of its leading journals upon the despatch of Mr. Fistt to Mr, Motixy pro- posing to reopen those negotiations. Never, at any period since the Alabama question has been under consideration, has British sentiment been more hostile to our demands than at the present hour, The summary rejection of the Revenpy Jonson convention, and the extravagant speech of Mr. SUMNER accompanying that act, haye exasperated all classes of Englishmen, and we seem to have lost the few advocates of onr side of the case that we once had in that kingdom. Jt is now plajn that whether Dishagit and STANLEY or GLAparONE and CL DON are at the head of affairs, our cause occupies the samo humiliating position in Downing street. Tory and Liberal treat us alike superciliously, and ¢ach beouts out demands with equal arrogance. We over- look the fact, proven by her bistory for the last hundred and fifty years, that England never pays any debt to a foreign power ex- cept by a set-off against the demand of the claimant, unless payment is enforced at the carnon’s mouth, Now, England knows that we do not pro- pose to fight, and therefore she refuses to pay. How absurd, then, is it in us, while shaping our policy in regard to the exclu: sively American subject of Cuban indepen- dence, to have the slightest regard to what PAeland thinks or may hereafter think, say or jay hereafter say, about the Alabama Dbusinggs, a matter which cannot be 80 dis- torted as to Lear any analogy to that of Cuba. And yet our amiable and ancient Secretary of State, and our literary and loquacious Chairman of the Senate Committee on For- cign Relations, foree the country into the position of a supple supporter of the erum- Lling throne of Spain, lest, forsooth, Eng- land should find one more pretext for evad- the payment of a debt which she has already refused to pay a hundred tines. It the Administration has any regard for character or consistency, it will place cach of these two subjects on its own proper and , aud care no more about England in deciding upon the propriety of recognizing the independence of Cuba, than about Spain in exacting compensation for tho piracies of the Alabama, aie HK Masked Bolls-—-Let Thetn be Suppressed The reeent masked balls at the Freuch Theatre were a dagrace to civilizat: They were too disgusting for description, and our only reason for referring to the un- savory subject is to be fourd in the fact that wuch exlthicians cause unspeakable mischi to the young men of the eity. ror thet sake we wish to bring public disapprobation to bear against the repetition of such orgie ‘They should be suppressed. They work ruin to hundreds of our young people. They stimulate the baser passions and plant seeds of mora] death in the soul. It is in accord ance with human nature and the logical se- quence of things that many a young man should trace his downfall to his attendance upon such bacchanalian displays. Let every parent bring this matter person- ally home. Who would wish his son to become addicted to associating with such people as constitute the majority of attendants at masked balls—gamblers, thieves, and. vaga- bonds, and women such as we will not offend our readers by naming? What merchant or banker would wish his clerks to attend such places and acquire such habits as are there engendered? This is a matter which strikes at all the roots of society. The sanctities of domestic life and the safeguards of business interests are alike involved in it; and the ut- most power of public repzubation should be brought to bear against the attempt to naturalize this demoralizing public amuse- ment upon American soil. Slender Bond: Lord GRANVILLE declared to a deputation which recently called upon him on the sub- ject of the relations existing between Great Britain and her colonial dependencies, that he should be exceedingly sorry to see Eng- land deprived of all her colonies, but that no attempt will ever be made to retain them by force, He believes, however, that the bonds which unite them to the mother coua- try, though slender, are elastic and mach stronger than some suppose. ‘This is an im- portant admission on the part of Her Majes ty’s Secretary for Colonial Affairs, and stiJl more 80 from the fact that the chairman of the deputation was Viscount Buny, so well known in Canada, and that it included among its members the \Duke of Mancugsten, Viscount Maton, who was on this side of the water three years ago, Mr. Kinnamiv, M, P., and other influential public men, Great Britain is crowded by Russia in Asia and by the United States in the American hemisphere, while Australia gravitates rap- idly toward national independence, Under such circumstances Her Majesty's Minister displays a commendable sayacity in retrain, ing from exasperating and coercive language toward the colonists, and in trusting to their affectionate feeling toward the mother coun- try. But Lord GRANVILLE is no donbt well aware that sentimentality has little todo with the march of events, and whenever the time shall come that the interests of British colonies require their separation from the parent country, no sentimenta) considera- tion, however touching, will be likely to deter them from their purpose, The excitement erate" * fu mh the gluttonows, who granted it, then by the Judge-holding | 4°4 petliviogtsa) ciretes of England by the Welsh Special Term, and fivally by fie of the | Judges at General Term—yet the decision of the two who sit with the last prevails Three Judges are controlled by two, Such an occurrence ag this which we * supposed ja possible, though not uuder the old system, It mv, '« aave . probable, happen fro fasting girl has been brought to an end by the death ofthat abstemious creature, If John Bull end “no ladies of his family are remarkable for ‘apythiag, it is for their fanatical deyotion to good eating; aud neither earthquakes nor delages, nor wars, nor pestilences could ever haye pro- duced such # widespread sensation at British dia- ner tables ap the story of Sanau Jacons of Car- 4 THE marthen, That f woman by her own free will abstained for » protradted period from taking food, and died without meking any confession Ofdecett.

Justice Leowita must be removed from the Jefferson Market Po- lice Court at all hazards, ‘The Board will meet on Friday, and then Mr. Sweenr’s orders are to be executed. It would seem that the Hon. Joux Fox is coming too prominently into the foreground as acandidate for the Shrievalty. Mr. Swraxr ebjects to this, and thus early he is planting his batteries to defeat Mr. Fox's nomination. As Justice Snaxpiey bas a clean record and is de- cidedly a favorite with the Tammany Democracy on the East side, it has been determined to place him in Justice Lepwitn's seat with the view of building him up with the West side sup- porters of Tammany, Through their influence it is thought that Justice Smawpier can succeed Sheriff O'Burex. The scheme seems worthy of Mr, Swaeny's brains, Whether it will succeed or not will depend upon the astuteness of Mr, Fox's friends, We are assured that Justices Hooax, Cox, Covrrnr, aud Lepwrrw will sustain Mr. Fox, and that Jistices Dowsixa, Bixpy, Mo- Qua Suanoney, and Scorr will strike Mr. Fox by voting forthe removal of Justice Lev- wrru in accordance with Mr. Sweenx’s orders, panteeetestaritit Judge Druumonp, of the United States Circuit Court for linois, Wisconsin, and Indi- a9, has just pronounced at Chicago a decision of ao deeneante upon Mfr, Mary Warner,” bought Tow Taytor’s drama of of him, at the price of £400, for performance in this try by Miss Bateway. Mr. Arrcey, a manager of Chicago, also procured of Roper M. De Wirt of New York a copy of this play, which id been made in London from hearing the piece 4 performance there, and was about to bring it out in Chicago, This design was first stopped by an injunction, which bas now been continued by Judge Duvasoxp. The present decision establishes the principle that the per- formance of aplay upon the stage is not a publi- cation of it in suebo sense as to affect its author's exclusive property in it, ‘The sathor of an unpublished play, or hig assignee,” says Judge Drvaaoxn, “has a right of property in the manuscript and its incorporeal contents; thatis, in the words, ideas, sentiments, characters, dia- logue, descriptions, and their connection, inde- pendent of statutes, and & court of equity protect The Judge also decides that, “as the law now exists in this country, the mere representation of a play does not of itself appro- priate it to the public, except so far as those who witness its performance can recollect it, and that’ the spectators have no right to cause its reproduction by phonographic or other verbatim reports independeat of memory.” It would ap- pear, however, that if any one could attend the performance sufficiently to learn the whole piece by heart and write it down from recollection, then it would be public property, and its per- formance by other managers and actors from such a copy could not be legally interfered with. Accordingly, Judge Daummonn has sent the case to a referee to tuke testimony on the poiut whether the copy sold to Airaun by Du Wart was written out from memory, or by the help of » shorthand reporter, ‘‘or in some other unau- thorized and wrongful way, and not. by memory alone.” In the former event Mr. Arrkex can play the piece; in the latter he cannot, It seems plain that the law on this subject needs some amendment to bring it into harmony with common sensi a ‘The Mikado of Japan has pardoned Srors- nasut, who filled the office of, Tycoon previous to the recent civil war, and who bad incurred the extremest penalties by engaging in that contest against the successful potentate, It is supposed that Srorspasus will once more occupy some high place in the administration of the government under the Mikado; apd this view is confirmed by the fact that Prince Aipzu, one of the strongest supporters of Srorspasuy, has been released and pardoned along with him, ———___— The amount of English trade with Turkey does not exceed ten millions sterling, while that with Egypt is nearly twice as much, owing to the transit from India and China, ‘Thug, in the event of a war between the Sultan and the Xhedive, Great Britain will be hurt much more grievously if Eyypt is worsted.than if Turkey should be the losing party.
