H K R I i l l V I E K . I n ,X « WEDNESDAY. JENE S. 1R30. PIlIBUSTBEma. Filibustering bas always been pop u lar with Americans. I t seems as though i t was a hereditary com p laint entailed on every generation from the tim e when the filibusters landed on Plym o u th Eock. Therenever h as been a rebellion, save the Southern re bellion, in any part o f the world in which the rebels h a v e not received th e sym p athy o f the Am erican masses, and whenever possible, assistance in men, money, and. the munitions of history o f T exas, and the South A m er ican Republics, and the m any at tem p ts in the W e s t Indies and Cen tral Am erica, all hear testimony to the uneasy adventurous spirit of the universal Y ankee nation. O u r neu trality laws have been most difficult to enforce, b u t our government has usually acted honorably in the m atter and restrained our citizens from fla grant violations of the statute. Our re« centtrouble.3 at home have impressed upon the minds, o f our people the ne cessity of a Strict regard for interna tional law, hence the long negotiation over the A labam a claims. B u t while these claims are yet unsettled the old filibustering spirit is aroused by news of a rebellion in Cuba,and our Govern m ent is treating Spain with as much duplicity as England showed us. F u r th e r than this a folly h a s taken pos session oc the President and he seems not to desire a settlem ent of tlis A la bama claims, but rather that we should be left free to take our own course in th e future. W e have already gone too far iu this m a tter to retire %vith honor. W e cannot be free to take our own course hereafter. The Johnson- Stanly treaty has not been ratified by the Senate, but i t cannot be ignored and the filibustering spirit of Presi dent and people m ust yield to the force of circumstances. E u g land has adm itted the justice of our claim and expressed her willingness to leave the m a tter to arbitration. Clothing could ever happen which ■would justify retaliation on our part b y filibustering upon F - ’--’- ---- merce or English territoi abam a claims should be pressed to a settlement, all ideas o f filibustering should be forgotten and cast aside, our own neutrality laws should be strictly enforced, and then we shall always b e in a position to demand like treatm e n t from other powers.- W e shall be losers i n the end i f any other policy is p u rsued. O u r interests are too m any and too widely extended to allow the placing them in jeop- .ard y h y reason of the petty strifes go ing on in other countries. W e are a great nation to he sure, but we cannot afford to haye a Tvar with England or any other power now or hereafter.- E n g land will treatw ith u s and thus the A labam a claims m ay .be peaeehly set tled. In the meantime let us let Can ada and Fenianisra slide until we have paid our national debt and the little bill for o u r straw b erry patch a t the North Pole. Perhaps,also, it would be as well to wait u n til C anada wish es to come to us, and the Fenians can determ ine who is the President of their organization. W h ile with reference to Cuba we believe t h a t the tim e m u st come when her people will he free and the Island a p a r t of our territory, still our honor demands th a t ships b earing aid to the Cubans should he Seized in our ports and th a t our officers should h e v igilant in the discharge of their duties. I f any of o u r citizens wish to help the Cubans let them do it at their peril and not expect the protection of the Am erican Governm ent when they find themselves in trouble. Cubans, Irishm en, the oppressed o f every land, shall have our sympathy and a hearty welcome to our shores, b u t th e ir q u ar rels are not our quarrels, and the slavery o f debt and taxation is of m ore im p o rtance to us than their freedom. ■ WHY SO MPOS OBIME*? The New Y o rk papers of the past week have been literally filled with startling accounts of accidents, fires, suicides, murders, &c., <Sc. We nat urally ask ourselves, is the world worse to-day than it was yeai« ago, or if not why does it seem so ? Certainly there have been times when cxdme was less frequent th a n i t is now, b u t let us remember t h a t there are more people in A m erica than there was fifty years ago, the facilities for obtaining news are m u ch b etter, and to-day i f an ac cident happens, or a m u rder is com mitted on one side of the globe, in a few hours’ time it m ay be known on the other, and further let us remem ber th a t for some years past iu our own country the usual influences of, m o rality and religion have not been fully a t work, m any of th e ministers thinking th a t the nigger was of more im portance than - their holy calling, have been neglecting their M aster’s work, and hence m any tares have sprung up among the w h e a t; and then, too, we are very slowly recover ing from the demoralizing effects of the war which these fanatical nigger worshippers brought about, a n d some ^ a n e i p a t e d can be fully m ifii fitted to pei’form other duties beside the unim p o rtant ones of voting and holding office. ijKEQUAi..—^The present tariff im poses a duty of fifty cents per pound, and thirty-five per cent, ad valorem, on a ll fabrics of wool, or of which wool is a component p a rt. Thus : On a yard o f coarse broadcloth,which-costs one dollar in England or Germany, and weighs two pounds per yard, the duty is one dollar p e r y a rd and thirty- five per cent, a d valorem, equal to one hundred and thirty-five per cent.— This is the duty which a poor labor ing man pays. Now for the wealthy m an : On yard of fine cloth, weighing sixteen ounces, hJ^ pays fifty cents specific and thirty-five per cent, ad valorem duty. The cloth is valued at five dollars, a n d this makes the rich m an’s duty only forty-five per cent., while the poor man must pay one hundred and thirty-five per cent. S o l dier ’ s B ounty C laims .— The Second Comptroller has given instruc tions under the late bounty law, th a t hereafter, in paying soldiers’ claims, two checks will be given—one to the agent or attorney for the fee allowed by law, and the other sent direct to the soldier for the rem ainder due.— The fees allowed in claims of white soldiers are ten‘:per cent, when the am o u n t due is under $200, and five per cent, on any additional amount less than $800, and $50 in claims in excess of $700. In colored cases, the fees a re $5, $7 50 and $10, according to the am o u n t due less than $50 and $100, or over $100. T h e U nioh op t h e 'P e e s b y t e e - IANS.— On Thursday last, the two branches of the Presbyterian Church, Old School and New School, decided to re-uaite their fortunes, and to form, hereafter, a single Church. The pro posal, however, is to be submitted to the various Presbyteries for ap proval, but it is not consider ed probable th a t they will refuse to sanction it. T h e agreement, should have said, was made be tween the delegates of both branches, assembled in New York in separate Conventions. The plan is. probably a wise one, as where so little doctrinal difference exists there is little cause for separation. T h e R egistry E aw Y exoed .- Governor Hoffman has returned the bill amending the R egistry law to the office of S ecretary of State, with the indorsement “ N o t approved,” and his reasons therefor are, th a t there should be but one registry for the whole State,—^that it excludes from the r ig h t to vote m any persons who’ are o f age,—th a t it f o l a t e s the secrecy of the ballot, &e. The last Eegislature passed .n law p roviding th a t prisoners accused of crime m ay be permitted to testify in 'tbeir own behalf. This privilege m ay be converted into base uses at times. Debased criminals may p rosti tute the privilege as they do ther pi-in- elples, but the court, aeting»as Justice, Will weigh the evidence upon its mer its alone. I m p o e t a nt to D e in k in g M en .- B y the new law, m en arre.sted for public intoxication will be fined, and if u n able to pay the fine will be “sent up” for a period of not less than ten o r more than six months. This does aivay -with a ll bail bonds for offenses by drunkenness. The resfilt will he pay or p lay in ail iastances.
