Mr. Stoxry Wenstrr—Secretary Fisn's son-in-law—tho bired tool of the Spanish Gov- ernment and the paymaster of thoir spies and informers, is before the Suprome Court ine character which, though not sodisgraceful as that of an employer of spies for the Spanish tyrants of Cuba, is quite as anworthy of a lawyer anda gomtlenan, In conjunction with hispartner, Mr. Craro, ho sues Mesera. Wireos, Hawkeworrn, Ev. tavon & Co., an English hardwaro firm, to recover the enm of $30,090, which, it ts al ed, the firm agroed to pay them aseompen. sation for obtaining the release of certain goods of theirs seized in the New York Cus. tom Honee. ‘Tho defendants’ anewer is a curious story of both the means to whic Messrs. Webster & Craic resort to obtair Dusivess, and the raaaner in whieh thoy eat ry iten, It appears that on the day of the seizure, the defendant Hawkswortit met as he was coming out of the Custom House by a person who arged him to secure tho aasistanco of Wernstern & Crata, on the ground that they had great experience and unusual facilitics for tho settlement of such matters, Acting upon such Wawnewourn emploved the plaintil. He alleges that ho was at the titne and isstill ina very feeble condition, bodity and mentally, and that che plaintitts excited his apprehension and alarm Ly representing that he was in danger of iamprisoument, and that great and ruinous disaster would befail the firm anless some compromise could be effected with the Government. They said that such a mn: promise could only be effected by Heir per sonal influence with Gocernment officers, and by the incurring of obligations to the Govern ment or jie officers to the amount of frow $20,000 to 000, and that they would in- cur such obligations and effect a eettlement of the several suits, if he would give them a writing (of which he should keep no copy) undertaking to pay thom $25,000 when they should accomplish such a settlement. Ac contingly, he wrote and delivered to them a paper promising to pay them the above sum itthey would make “an immediate settle ment” of said suita, The suits were settled and the gonads re- leased, and the dispute now is whether thie resalt was brought about by the exertions of Wrnetren & Cnaro, or, as the defendants contend, by their own personal application to lhe Seeretary of the Treasury. It acems to be admitted, however, that tho basis of the baryain was the sapposed “ personal intla- ence” of Wensien & Crate ; and we have heard from other sources that it was a com. mon thing for merehanta who had troublo with the Custom House author ties under the reign of Collector Saytur, to be advised by certain Custom House employees to go to Wensren & Crata, as tho only lawyers who had the right kind of “ influence” to get them out of the trouble, Whether these friendly advisers were drammers for Wen stern & ChAIG We cannot say, nor whether the personal influence they exerted was leg tmate or not; but as Mr, Weneten is noof the officers of the new Bar Associa tion, we recommend to the Association to have the matter thoroughly investigated Our Ball-Givers Come to Grief Prince ALrucn informs the Speaker of the Domwin.on House of Commons that “the bril liant Lall given in his honor at Ottawa was unequatted by anything he has seen on this side of the Atlant In other words, the ball given to hima in that Lilliputian pigeon. hole was incomparably superior to the great (alls of New York and Washington | It should be borne in mind that the fase! nations of the American Valls were still fresh n the mind of the English Prince at the time he attended the frolie at the Dominion capital ; and if he cau't refrain from deliber: ately placing the blandishmoents of the Otta Wa ball-rooin over those of N York and of Washington, it cannot but be reluctantly mitted that his was advice, official declaration 1uust tand as the verdict of h fi lols consoles hawavbrsundenthe cream stances, that while the Prince's ting at the New York of the most distingnis Dall reflects only upon iirty hx ed Ameri n eitizens, wa bull redounds to the whole population of that minature b As for the Washington HM, Taasmuch as it waa given by the Ex Minister, the Prineo's indircet reileetion nay be regarded asa family quarrel which Americans have no direet con com, although lis oxaliation of the Ot he honor wth contribut! they certainly leir full share in determining ite failure or ts Fuccesa, It will Le remembered that the fashional lo and ar'stocratic world among us was greatly excited at the time of these festivities, Linviky MonwAY and Werasten’s lexicon were pos Uvely torn into tatters in order to furnish adjectives befitting such transeend ont Never before since the dark days of has tho honest English language go much stripped of all its native straightforwardness and virility CeAS.ONS, 170 boon forthe purpose of inventiog mawkish and high-tlown utterances of admiration and adu. lation, ‘Tho Joukinses of the Washington and ‘ew York press seemed for a time to suc cumb under the load of sumptuous verbiage, aud the fulsome uecessity of ‘applying it to the officials and tuft-hunters who on such oceugions are held up to public ridicule by the very excess of the incense that js lavieh- ed upon then, Aid vow all this labor ia.goen to be lost, all tho flunkeys' toil unrequited, ail the snobe snubbed, and by whom?

In what manner it will be amended in the Committee remains to be Been ; but it does not seem probable that it will ever pass in its original form, Whatever other changes may be made in this Dill, it should certainly be so amended as to allow of a groater range in the rates of charge for licenses, The bill fixes one hun. dred dollars as the maximum price; but while fn many enses this would be a fair tate, there is no reason for making it the utmost limit. In this ety there are fifty establish. mente that can well afford to pay five hun- dred Aollars a year for the privilege of selling liquor; and why should theso aristocratic institutions net be made to contribute their tull sharo to the public treasury ?

The following are the losses of the Cubans from 10th October, 1868, to 81at December, 1889, compiled from Spanish official despatches, pub- lished in the Government organ in Havana, the Diario dela Marina ated nome Preovers Surrendered, Appended to this list of killed, Marines Voiuntee é Ces) wounded, and prisoners, follows a list of war and other mate. rial captured by the Spanianis, in which, auong other most heterogenvous articles movable and immoval appear 13,763 horses, 61 ean- 5,015 firearms, 1 guitar, 814 camps, 4 doves, 893 intrenchments, 100,000 cartridges, 1 purse, and 1 volante, As to the 2,201 prisoners taken and not ran- somed, it would be interesting to know where they are, or what has become of them ; because, although, under date of September 16 last, Gen, Stexves states to Mr. Fisit that the Spanish Sec. retary of Foreign Affuirs had promised bit that the vanquished and prisoners should be pardoned, it is patent to the world tbat the Spaniards, from the very com present hour, have invariably shot every prisoner taken in battle, The sixty-four cannons of the Spaniards, with their four battalions of artillery soldiers, fram which it is natural to suppose @ considerable force was reserved for the defence of interior towns—for the Cuben roads admit, with few ex- ceptions, the use of mountain artillery only: have, wo observe, captured sixty-one cannons from the Cubens. We were not aware that the patriot cause could even boast of having been able to obtain anything like such a number of great guns. They have certainly not landed over twenty guns in all, and the only inference is that the rest were captured by them from the Span- iards, De for n ent of the revolution to the ac ucting, however, from the total Spanish the 40,000 home guards, and the 1,705 » killed, wounded, and captured, which is the total loss to which they confess, we are left with the official result that 65,700 Spaniords destroyed 44,101 Cubans, and terrificd 18,308 more into surrendering, and all this at the very moderate expense of 1,705 men! —— Harper's: Bazar advocates a proposition which was some time since brought forward in Tur Svy for submitting the question of the Methodist Book Concern to @ commit The snby competent business men, examined by two boards of clergymen, but it would be diffeult to find any othor class of per sons so iil qualiGied for such an investigauon v empt has been made to deny that any frauds have been perpetrated, but all the white- wash in the world canuot hide the ugly facts that have been proved by unquestioned testimony Nor have the clergymen who have attempted wus tocover up the truth attained their end; for thelr very protestations have only served to oufirim the public finpression that there has good deal of downright rascality in the the gentlemen who hold the the Book Concern understand that nothing wil dy but a thorough examination of the Looks, papers, und employees by a body of first-rate business men, with some gentleman like Mr. Frorcnen Hanren at their houd, the sooner thoy will enter upon the only way of eatricating been Lhe sooner themselves from the unfortunate complication in which they are now involved. — Quesapa, Jato Commander-in.Chiet of the Cuban army, now temporarily in this city, t of what, when completed, isto be a correct statement of the political and silitary situation in that island, A portion of a truth is apt occasionally to we. semble its very opposite; and inasinuch as tho portion of Gen, Quesapa’# report which bas po far reached us speaks principally of the diflicul ties whieh attended the -primury organisation of a nuilitury force in Camaguoy, and in other por- tions of the island, we postpone its publication for the present Gen, Quasans has deserved uobly of his coun try by the judgmant, cpergy, caurage, and per- © which he has displayed in the flekt His vane wan o torror to the Mbavards.

In retaliation for the termination of the Reciprocity treaty, the Canadian Government is preparing a series of measures intended to anuoy and injure as much as possible Americau mer- chants and shipping masters, One of these nieasures is an act now before the Dor Parliament, forbidding American vessels to carry goods or passengers from one Canadian port to another, under a peualty of four hundred dollars and the forfeiture of the goods, This act, if it becomes a law, will undoubtedly take away from our lake shipping much valuable busines regards the Canodian people, 1 biting off their nose to » ainounts to just this: that no Canadian shall be permitted to make use of the facilities of travel aud freight eMfurded by American vessels, but must either resort to land carriage or ayuil him- self of vome iuferior craft belonging to his coun- trymen, It would be very much fike probibiting the people of the North River towns from going from one landing to another on steamboats owne in New York or Albany, Still, if the Canadians ave potriotic enough to stand it, Americans will not object, Only it is doubtful whether every such turn of the screw will not make Cunada more dissatistied with its pre more anxious for a radical putas be decidedly te their face, It ent situation Dlidlladsad shh : The corrupting influence of the whiskey business is strikingly shown by the dev t in tho case of Goupox, Part just deerded by Commin Coon, one of the firm, wa ed with having conspired with one Fanainatoy, a gauger in the employ of the United States, to mako two re» turns of 1) in @ certain on which to opments ows & MoMinzay, BITS, Mantiy R, number of Mons of whiskey t of burrels—one, the smaller, pay tho tax, and another, a larger one, by which to sell the whiskey, ‘The @ was that there was indecd cheating in transaction, but that it was not the Gover ment but customer of the firm that 1!
