the widow of Pietro Monico, a bandit chief, 
who was killed in an encounter with the gen¬ 
darmes. She was arrested lately, tried and con¬ 
demned to 30 vears’ imprisonment. While un¬ 
dergoing her punishment, a warder, becoming 
enamored of her, favored her escape, and ac¬ 
companied her, but was stabbed to death by 
her orders immediately after she had rejoined 
her band. Since that period her audacity and 
activity have redoubled, and she has made her¬ 
self the terror of the surrounding country. She 
burns farm houses, carries off cattle and levies 
contributions, and the slightest disobedience 
of her orders is punished by murder and Are.

Incompatibility whatever iu the possession of

The same day another Judge sentenced one 
of the jurors In the Stokes case to pay $100 flue 
and to two months’ imprisonment for disobey¬ 
ing the orders of the court by leaving the other 
jurymen without the consent of the court. This 
is the second one of these jurors who has been 
punished. 
During the week, also, James R. Ingcrsoll, 
and Farrington, a. bookkeeper, wlio were par¬

Frank L. Taintor, convicted of embezzling 
$425,000. property of the Atlantic National Rank, 
has been sentenced to seven years’ imprison¬

Thus the year 187a is closing with the inau¬ 
guration of the reign of Justice and an upright 
Judiciary in this city, which has become a by¬ 
word for the wanton shamelessness with which 
fraud and rascality of every kind has been 
practiced.

In mld-oooan, noarly, the steamer Vlllc tin 
Havre, n steamer belonging to the French 
Transatlantic Oo„ collided with an English 
ship, Loch Earn, and sank in twelve minute* 
after the collision, carrying down with heririfi 
of her passengers and crew. Eighty-seven 
only wore saved, and found refuge on the Loch 
Earn until she spoke the TrlmouniuJu, to 
which ship the passengers were t-ansferred. 
Thistenlblo disaster to Ihe largest alenniHhip 
afloat, except the Great Eastern, has made a 
most profound Impression upon tho public, 
ft seems that the officers of the steamer saw 
tho Loch Earn fifteen to seventeen minutes be¬ 
fore the collision. It would seem that such a 
disaster might have been avoided; but it was 
not. Boston, New-York, Chicago contributed 
victims. The daily papers and telegrams will 
have furnished our reader* with tho details,

A Spanish View of American Competency to 
Cope With Spain. 
Wk copy the follow ing paragraphs from El. 
Oronifla, a semi-official Spanish organ in t his 
city: 
Tho Government of Madrid will gravely com¬ 
promise the integrity of our country and cover 
her with shame and opprobrium if it consents 
to the petition of the American Government 
and delivers up Ike VirgiDiu®. 
Whoever knows this Republic, not by its su¬ 
perficial manifestations, but by what ii in real¬ 
ity i.%, will ngrec with u* that It does not pos¬ 
sess nor could 1 1 procure the elements necessary 
to bring it triumphantly out of the struggle 
with Spain. 
The Amer'can Navy Is nothing more than a 
paper squadron; a* has been graphically said of 
it by the Secretary and confirmed by Admiral 
Porter, the chief officer In it. 
Cuba, fortunately, without other frontier* 
than the sea to bound her with Hie Northern 
Republic, could not he Invade;! by a military 
force proportionate t o that which she hns t o 
defend her. To takeover there successfully a 
few clandestine practical expeditions Is not the 
same a* to undertake llietrunsportailon of 10u,- 
000 soldiers. Or do those who know anything 
about tlu> affair believe that io-day the'island 
could bo Invaded with much less troops, while 
Its actual defenders ato more than lOO.OdO, and, 
appealing to an extraordlit.iry rising there, 
triplicate our forces in a few months? 
To send and maintain an expedition of 100,000 
men in Cuba this nation would need another 
loojxxi to successively replace them. The cli¬ 
mate *if 1 aba is as m.Ttli , iii:'. Intem¬ 
perance of these people! 
The statisticians of tho Republic of tVashlng- 
ton also know that an effoelIvc blockade of 
Boat on, New York and Philadelphia, such <es a 
good section of our navy could iooontiuentlv 
establish without any opposition from ihc 
Auiorican navy, would cost this nation one 
hundred times inoro than the value of the pos¬ 
session of Cuba for many centuries. 
Three hundred millions of dollar* is the least 
that, according to trustworthy calculation* ol’ 
business men. would ho lost by the commerce 
Spanish Republicans to Senator Sumner. 
Several Republican member; of the Span¬ 
ish Cortes have ecn'» Senator Sumner a con¬ 
gratulatory dispatch. After thanking Mr, Sum. 
ner for hi* efforts for liberty, it say* that t here 
aro three great republics—Spain. France and 
the 1‘nltad States and that they ought to stand 
toget her. It says that the republicans of Spain 
have alcady emancipated Jitt,0tK) slave-, and that 
they Intend to continuo their work until nil 
lifinoath the Spanish flag are free. It Is full of 
noble and gene-rouasentiment*. The half-dozen 
signer* are leading members of the Republican 
parly in Spain. 
Report of the Ceneral of the Army. 
Thk following paragraph i* from the report 
of Gen, Sherman to the Secretary of War. 
I have the honor herewith to submit, a state¬ 
ment showing the organization and aeiual 
strength of enlisted men in the army, compiled 
from ihe official returns up to the latest dale, 
and invite your attention to t he recapitulation, 
showing 25,Wa enlist- ■! men of cavalry, artillery. 
and infantry, end 3.970 non-corubatants, the 
whole aggregating 2y,6U5, or UC> less than the 
number—80.0W limited l-y law. In tho active 
regimenm the number of men sick and on tho 
necessary detail* about the posts will fully 
equal !6'i per cent., so that the actual strength 
for military service does not exceed 19,062 men. 
In order thiil the regular army should fulfil it_< 
arduous duties on t he frontier, as also form the 
model on which to shape the volunteers and 
militia ioroo of lh» United States, 1 oaj-ne*t Iy 
recommend that Congress be asked to fix the 
limit, of the enlisted force at Mich u figure a.-, 
will give 30,000 for the regiments of the line, 
and t.o iTovlde epcclflcally for the nott-oom- 
butant detach moots, such as the engineer bat- 
talllon, theOrdnanco Deportment, West Point 
doffichtiKiiit,-, Signal Department, ordnance 
and commissary sergeants. In t he same manner 
as has been done for the hospital steward. 
CURRENT TOPICS 
The Forty-third Congress 
mot December 1. Mr. Blaine of Main© was re¬ 
elected Speaker of the Lower House, and Mr. 
MoPherson, Clerk. Aside from organizing and 
the Introduction of several bills, nothing was 
done. Tue President's Mo;sage was not re¬ 
ceived until December 2. The Message is 
longer than President Grant's messages have 
hitherto beon. Received just a* wo go to press 
we can scarcely give an abstract of i(,. He re¬ 
commends a commission to hear and deter¬ 
mine the claim* of aliens upon the l nitt'd 
States resulting from acts committed during 
the Rebellion ; also a revision of laws respect¬ 
ing the expatriation, and tho election of na¬ 
tionality of individuals; also a change in the 
constitution which will authorize the Execu¬ 
tive to approve of so much of any measure 
passed by Congress as his Judgment shall dic¬ 
tate without approving the whole, the disap¬ 
proved portions only to be subject to tin: same 
rule as now; also a provision that there shall 
bo no legislation by Congress during the last 
twenty-four hours of its sitting, except upon 
vetoes; also that. I here shall he no legislation 
hy Congress when convened by Executive pro¬ 
clamation, except upon such subjects us the 
Executive may bring bofore it from time t.n 
time in writing. Ho also recommends to Con¬ 
gress that it exercise more economy iu making 
appropriations, expressing doubt whether the 
revenues for present fiscal year will not fall 
short of mooting actual o.qpcasoa, including 
interest on the public debt. Ho devotes much 
spaoe to the currency quest ion, and to the sub¬ 
ject of national banks and specie payments. 
But our own space is exhausted, and we must 
notice his further recommendations hereafter.

Justice in New York. 
The 29th of November there transpired events 
in this city which caused every law-abiding, 
order-iovuig and honest man in it to rejoice. 
As we stated last week, Wm. M. Tweed, the 
chief of Tammany rascals, had been sentenced. 
He had been permitted hy the Sheriff to remain 
in the Tombs for a week, when the Sheriff re¬ 
ceived intimation from the Attorney-general 
that he must oxecuto the senteitoo of the court 
or the attention of (lie Governor of the State 
would lie called to hi* neglect. The delay had 
been made with the hope on the part of Tweed's 
friend* and counsel that n stay of proceedings 
might be secured ere he would be compelled to 
doff tho garb of Civilized society and assume 
the costume of a convict. But Saturday the 
sheriff took the hint of tho Attorney-general, 
and Tweed was transferred to Blackwell's Is¬ 
land uud surrendered to the Penitentiary au¬ 
thorities, had hi* beard stiaved off, was com¬ 
pelled to take a cold water bath, gave his name, 
age, &c„ to the warden, was clad in convict 
costume and locked up in a ceil, the door of 
which was labeled with his name, crime and 
term of sentence. 
The same day Judge Davis, before whom 
Tweed was tried, arraigned Tweed’s counsel 
before him for contempt of court during the 
trial, charging them with trying to intimi¬ 
date him and drive him from the bench. T.ie i 
counsel made an elaborate reply, to which me 
judge responded in a speech of great power, 
but temperate, dignified and noble, closing by 
fining three of the counsel, William Fullerton, 
Joini Graham and WillardO-Bartlett, $260each, 
aud to stand committed until the line was paid. 
The fines were promptly paid. He also cen¬ 
sured the junior counsel, and gave them Lills 
admirable advice: 
I a*k you, young gentlemen, to remember 
that good fuitii to a good client never can jus¬ 
tify or require bad faith to your own con¬ 
sciences ; aud that, however good a thing it 
may be to be known os successf ul and great 
Settlement of the Virginius Difficulty. 
The following are the terms of the protocol 
drawn up and signod by Secretary Fish and the 
Spanish minister, Admiral Polo: 
J'Yrtifc—The immediate delivery to the United 
State* of the ship Vlrglulus and all the surviv¬ 
ing passengers and crew. 
.Second—A salute to our flag on the 25th of 
December next, unless in the meantime Spain 
shall satisfy the Uuited States that r be Ameri¬ 
can flag was improperly borne on that vessel, 
and further, that she had no right to the Amer¬ 
ican flag or American i-apers. in tins event the 
salute i= to be spontaneously withdrawn, and 
Spain is to formally disclaim any intentional 
indignity to the flag in t he a~ts committed by 
Spain against the \ irginius. 
Tliiul —If It shaJ( thus be shown that the Vir- 
gintus had no right to carry tho American flag 
and papers, tho United States will institute 
proceedings against the vessel and the surviv¬ 
ing parties who hare violated the laws of the 
United State* ; and Spain guarantees to insti¬ 
tute proceedings against any of her authorities 
who may have violated either law or treaty 
stipulations. 
Fourth —The subject of reclamations for dam¬ 
ages is to be considered hereafter, aud if the 
Governments of Spain and the Uuited States 
cannot agree, this matter will be left to arbi¬ 
tration.
