\ t pon me MENTE OS INT PISS UT LOT TITS PP TH It Khines for AIL that not only the laws of the United States and the customs of the War Depart- ment were recklessly violated by subor- dinate officers of the army without rebuke, but that these subordinates actually d livered arms to the agents of th Government in defiance of a special order from the Secretary of War forbidding sales to them; and that they are justified in doing so by the Administration major- ity of the committee of investigation. But bad as the wiiful violations of the law by officers of the War Department may be, Senator Scuurz justly says the justification they have received at the hands of the committee, and the principle upon which such justification is based, ar infinitely wor Against the new doctrine introduced under this Administration, that officers of the ¢ nent may use theit own discretion in regard to the meaning and enforcement of laws, he vigorously protests, The committee assert that “ the soldier's construction of the law was far more beneficial to the Government" than the lawyer's construction would have been meaning that the violation of the law by the military authorities was profitable to the Government. This doctrine Senator Scuvnz denounces as follows: “ Now, air, I call a doctrine like this the most abominable, the mos rous and destru: tive doctrine ever ad na country. enji @ doctrine utterly subver- Pike ofa government of laws.

The steamer Pioneer of the Cuban navy landed a boat off Charleston on Monday last, with communications for the Cuban agent in this city. We understand that this first specimen of the Cuban navy is fast, well armed, officered, and manned, and in every way likely to give a good av- vount of herself, About ninety years ago Bensawiw FRANKLIN taught England, in the matter of Pau Jones's prizes sent to Sweden, the tisk that a nation incurs by refusing to re- sognize a fact—our belligerency in our war of independence. We trust that the oext news we have of the Pioneer will be her bringing a prize into one of our ports, thereby compelling our cowardly Admin- ‘stration to cede to others what our fore- fathers claimed for us. —— Comptroller Green Duty. Some of the city journals overflow with facts and allegations against Ayprew H. Geen, Comptroller of this city. They charge Nive seth Inefficiency, with failure wo do his duty, with bringing the public ousiness into great confusion, and with Mlowing the property of ghe city to be wized by the Sheriff under execution, when by reasonable attention to his duty all such emergencies might be prevented. We will not undertake to investigate these charges in any detail. The fact that the portraits of the Governors in the City Hall and the iron safes of the Finance De- partment have been seized by the Sheriff amrlur tu exceution fe: 3,65 tn bebalf cof Joun L. Brower; and the fact that the fire engine and horses of Company No. 6 have been seized on other maller executions, suffice to show that Mr. Gxeen is either incompetent to per- ‘orm the duties he has undertaken, or that, n three instances at least, he has wilfully glected them. We understand very well he embarrassments which he has iwher- te& from the former administration; but xe has now béen in office the better part of tyear, aud ought long since to have those smbarrassments cleared away and a regu- ar course of business established. There ran be no excuse for such o fact as the eizure of city property ou judgments for 55,600 and €916.34, Of Mr. Ghery’s integrity there is no question; but integrity is not the ouly iuality requisite in a city official. The public interests may be just as much in- ured by incapacity as by dishonesty. Mr. an seems to have systematically refused to pay honest bills, undertaking «0 keep the city creditors out of thei: noney as long as possible. This isa grent nistake. But afew weeks since the Board ot Education adv. 1 for proposals t iupply fuel for the schools, and such is the result of Mr. Green's practice of not pa ng the city’s debts, and of subjecting the public creditors to delay and incon- venience, that only one dealer in fuel had the courage to make a proposal, The Board of Education was competiod t sept that proposal, although in view of t there ts the end of parllamentary governtient 5 there is the end of republican Institutions.

From the beginning of Grant's administration there has been manifested in the highest quarters a stubborn deter- mination to disregard the law wherever it has come in conflict with the desires of those in authority. Grawr himself has re- peatedly violated the law, in appointments lo office, in surrounding himaclf with a military staff, in granting privileges to bis son inthe army which are prohibited by the rules of the service, in the San Do- tmingo business, and in other cases, The Pre nt'sexample has been followed by his Secretaries in various instances, until violations of the law wader various pre- texts by persons in hizh places have be- come so common as-no longer to occasion surprise. What is far worse, these infrac- to Do his tions of the law are justified by the sup- the porters of Administration, who in order: to re the favor of the ruling powers are compelled to be as servile in their following as the President and his immediate advisers are lawless and de- flant toward the people. No matter how flagrant are the violations of Jaw on the part of the President and bis friends, nor how corrupt orsordid the motives for such lawlessness, a subservient majority in Con- gress has always been ready to justify any action which commands the approbation of this Executive, who deems bimeelf su- perior to all law. It is this passive ac- quiescence in official lawlessness which is the most alarming symptom of the politi- cal demoralization which has seized the Republican party, and which is the legiti- mate result of a blind obedience to the one-man power, As Senator Scuunz well ays: “It is indeed time that the military construction and administration of the Jaws should be made to cease in this coun- try when we see Senetors of the United States with such delight bow to ‘the sol- s construction ' of the law.” —— -- -— O52 Ronehs NE Whore, en.

A clause of the Austrian patent laws makes It obligatory for every person taking out a patent in Austria to manufacture within a year, and Within the limits of the empire, ticle for which the patent has been granted. This makes an Austrian patent practically worthless to the owners of a large class of valuable inventions. At the exhibitions in London and Paris foreign eXtibitors have had thelr inventions protected, hether they took out a patent or not; bi the Austrians proposed to dispense with this for- mality, and give their manufacturers an oppor- tunity to profit by the ingenuity of foreign in- ventors, without making any return therefor. ‘The Scientific American of this city is entitled to the credit of exposing this artifice, having pub- lished an article fully exolaining the effect of the course proposed by the Austrian Commis- sioners. This article attracted much attention abroad, and the consequence has been that for- eign inventors have shown a marked disinclina- tion to contribute to the success of an exhibition which was Intended to promote piracy. This feeling has manifested itself so strongly that the Commissioners have become alarmed, and the Vienna correspondent of the Boston Globe says that action was taken in the Austrian Parliament on the 2th ult. which will result in riving tofor- elgn Inventors all the protection which can be required. Patentees proposing to exhibit at Vienna, however, will do well to seek precise information as to the nature of the promised protect THE UPRISING OF LABOR, THE GREAT ORGANIZATIONS RE- JECTING COMPROMISE, tenes Seven Thousand Sagar Reflners on Strike, and the Factories Clored—A Demand for Sewing Machines and Nobody to Make ‘Them—Hopes of the Singer Men, Yestorday was a quict day with the strik- ers, Aside from the successes of the iron work- ers and sugar refinery employees, but little was accomplished.
