Foster and Huot Jounson, were angerously wounded at the same time. Their only offence was being Americans and wearing blue cravats. They were going peacefully along on their way to a photogra_ pher's, whero they desired to have their pic. tures taken, Who is responsible for this bloody out- rage? It isour Spanish Secretary of State snd his abettors in the foal work of degrad- Ing the American people before the bankrupt usurpers of Spain, It is Hawiron Frsit. Had he acted toward Spain as the honor of the United States demanded, had he re mained true to his own oft-repeated promise to the patriots of Cuba, the political assasei mation of an American citizen in Havana would be an impossibility. The blood of his murder cries from the earth against the base and pusillanimous Administration that continues to disgrace us. Bat'this general responsibility is not al) Jhat rests upon Mr. Fist in this case. Our Buly euthorized agent at Havana, Mr. La Reintnrig, officially declared in his des- patches to the State Department, a year ag that there was no sufficient protection in that tity for American citizens ; that the explana tion given him by the late Ceptain-General Doce about the murder of Mr, Conunrn was totally unsatisfactory ; and that, unless the volunteers and Spaniards generally were taught a lesson not easily to be forgotten, they might soon prove by some shocking feed Low utterly unpretect titlven was in Cuba. Of course this sound ady was not lowed, although Mr, La Retyinr'sprephe- | cy was fulfilled very shortly afterward by | the judicial murders of Wywitt and Srexi MAN. Mr. La Retntrie himself was soon recalled by Mr. Fisn, to give place to the Bpanish sympathizer Pirate and the foolish Brppve ; and the despatches of the dismissed agent, in which he exhibited the condition of Cuba as it really was, were suppressed by the diesatisfed Fisn, apparently because they told too much truth. pluie The Whiskey Seizures. A large quantity of whiskey has recently been seized by Mr. J. F. Batiey, Collector ef the Thirty-second District. We learn that these seizures have been made in every case on the advice of law officers of the Gov- rroment, to whom the evidence had pre- viously been submitted. The whiskey has al} been duly lbelled, and is in the custody of the United States Marshal, su! ject to the Uccition of the proper courts. The frauds whose discovery his led to these proceedings were all of them commit ted previous to the aecession of the present National Administration; in faet, they be longed to the carly history of the bonded warehouse eystem, ‘The most froqnont an) plished by meané of false gauging. ‘ angcre—all eworn officers of the Govery ment—would return to the Collector ful measurements, waking the quantity of each Jot measured as much less than the real quantity as was deemed prudent. On this false measurement the tax was paid, At the same time, ® true measurement was far bished by the same gaugers to the owners and by this the liquor was sold, Another kind of fraud was to pump out nf the barrels of whiskey stored in a bonded warchouse a part or the whole of the liquor, sud then to fill up the barrels with water. Yhen the barrels would be withdrawn in Lond and shipped abroad, a gauger re. porting officially to the Collector that whey contafhed the requisite quantity of whiskey; and on their arrival at their place of destination in Europe the American Consul there would certify that they had been recoived. His certificate would cancel the bond given for the payment of the tax; and meanwhile the real whiskey, pumped into other barrels, would be removed from the warehouse and sold here without having paid any tax at all, This sort of Sraud required, of course, the connivance of the officers in charge of the bonded ware- house, who necossarily received a handsome bribe. Another common fraud was to ship from the West to this city a lot of whiskey under a Western permit and to detain it somewhere on the way, whilo other lots tquol in number of barrele aud beayiug the samo marks with the first lot would be fraudulently hurried forward and eriuggled through here under cover of the permit given kr the first, This lot would finally egme to B_SUN, crefatiore een, anppored to be payable paper, but whidh, if the Supreme Court cision continucs to be law, must be paid in If to this be added tho total of old private obligations outstanding, which can- not be much less than a quarter of a million, we shall have probably $1,000,000,000 in all. Fortunately, the difference between gold and grcenbacks is not so very great as to entail absolute ruin upon the debtor class, even if they should have to make their pay- ments in gold, or we might look for a deter tained resistance on their part. that before the problem begins to be worked out gold and greenbacks will be on a par, all chance for bitter disputes be WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9. im letters vo her friends, edited A.

The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that the act of Congress of 1862, making greenbacks legal is unconstitutional and void, so far as respects obligations which were incurred before its passage. The lan- guage of the decision is explicit: “ We are obliged to conclude that an act making mere promises to pay dollars a legal tender, in payment of debts previously contracted, is not a means appropriate, plainly adapted, really calculated to carry into effect any ex press power vested in Congress; that such an act is inconsistent with the spirit of the Constitution, and that it Constitution, tenders for debts, Only once in the on compulsion, and Navy Gazette that the tro: rth America will be withdrawn dur- At Halifax alone a gar 8 now stationed 8 prohibited by the eAnd, in the particular ¢ under consideration, it is held that the owner Issory note made before Feb. 25, not bound to receive greenbacks in payment of it.
