A minor was current, Saturday, that General Sickles, United States Minister to Spain, had been assassinated lu Madrid. At the present writing, there is nothing to confirm tho rumor, nothing, in fact, upon which to base an opinion-except ns we shall, piescntly slate-nnd nc choose, for the present, to disbelieve Its truth, or that It has any foundation except idle, senseless rumor, started by the "Cuban Junta" of New York and its sympathizers for the purpose of goading the people of tho Unl. ted States Into war. Still tiicre is a possi bility of its truth. Wo know that Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, was publicly assassinated in the capital of the country, and at the same lime, an at tempt made to take the life of William II. Seward, then secretary of state j we know that General Prim, then nt tho head of the government, was slain in tho streets of .Madrid j that attempts have been made, time and again, upon tho lives of almost every European sovereign ; and that diplo matic officers have becu murdered in the country to which they were accredited. The only fact upon which such a rumor can bo based, so far as is known at the present writing-although there is a possi bility of Its being true, because assassina tions are not rare in Spain is that a crowd gathered about the honso of General Sick les, In Madrid, on Wednesday last, but it was broken up by Castclar's troops before any Indignity had been offered to our niiu ister ; and in reference to this. General Sickles says, in a dispatch to Secretary Fish, that ho Is confident of the power of the government to maintain order at Mad rid. The testimony of General Sickles, himself, thus shows that tho Spanish gov ernment is doing all in its power to pre serve the public peace, nnd pi event any in dignity to tho person of our minister. If violence should take place j If an insurrec tion, beyond the power of the existing government to suppress, should break out j If our minister should bo murdered by the mob ; if he should bo privately nssassina ted at the United States legation ; if any one of these tilings should occur, it may, and probably will, become a question what is it the right and duly of tho government to do In the premises. Another question will have to be considered, and that is how far a country can be held lesponslble for the actions of nu irresponsible mob, or the individual acts of lis citizens. We prefer, however, to defer tho discussion of these questions until they aio timely, believing, ns we do at the picscnt writing, that Gen eral Sickles is alive nnd safe. a'Hi: last ruoi' ;o.m:. Those who clamor for war wllli Spain, on account of the capture of tho Ylrglnlus und the subsequent proceedings, aic gradu ally, but smely, having one piop after another knocked out from under their ar guments. The fact that tlicieisno such licensed nnd registered vessel as tho " Vir gimW was a fatal blow to the war parly, and this followed by thoopen acknowledge mcnts made nt Kingston, and the fact that an attempt had been made onco before to land the volunteers und military stores on Cuban soil, seemingly, left no room upon which tho war party could stand. Another argument was lucd that Spain was unable to enforco her dcciecs in Cuba, and that, therefore, It was the duty of tho United States to take armed possession of Cuba, for the purpose of protecting our citizens there domiciled. In this demand, tho fact was lost sight of Unit no American citizen, engaged in u legltlmato business und abstaining from nil intermeddling with tho political complications of tho island was Interfered with or molested. Hut this Is of no consequence now. Tho orders and decrees of tho Spanish government are obeyed and respected in Cuba. At tho outset, we claimed that the government, the press and tho people ought to await the reception of tho actual facts before talking about war, and tho result has proved that we were right. Tho earlier dispatches from Cuba must havo been dictated by some Intense hater of Spain, who desired to bco the country engaged In a war with that power, right or wrong. Tho latest advi ces show that these dispatches which hnvo been used with so much effect to stir up n hatred of Spain nnd a war fever must have been knowingly and designedly false, Tho word "exaggerated" Is not applicable, they wero absolute falsehoods. The fact Is that more than ono half tho number claimed to have been executed are still alive, and It Is not even known whether all of the remainder, or how many of them, have suffered death. The executions as mauy m there were of them took placo Immediately after tho capture, nnd beforo the receipt of dispatches from tho homo government. Not n single execution has taken placo since the lccclpt of tho orders from Spain, nnd tho prisoners nwnlt the nc. tlou of Hint power. This being the actual stnte of facts, there Is no occasion for war, much less for tho silly project of nn armed occupation of Cuba. That thoro are some diplomatic complications growing out of tho affair, wc doubt not, but Spain, Great Dritalu and tho United States) being alike interested, it is not among the possibility that war will result from the capture of the Vlrgim'i,. HOW I.OMJ J The last authentic report wo have of the transactions of the national banks of the country Is for the yenr 1809. To be sure, since that year, wo hnvo had reports, annu ally or oflcner, of what is callcdlthc "con. dition" of these banks, including clrcula- tioii,deposils, lesources and other items.but no full and complete statement embracing, among other things, their profits. That year, their average profits were reported at a trifle less than fourteen per cent. The reports for previous years show larger av- eragc gains; that year, for some reason, being unfavorable. It Is conceded that since that time, the profits of these institu tlons have increased rather than diminish, ed j and this for the reason that many of tliem liavo stepped outside of their loiritl mate business, and engaged in the business of "brokerage' that Is, In fact, have be come mere "shaving shops." e do not say that it is true in reference to nil of them, but we all know It to be true tin ref erence to n large number, both in city and country. Tho exact amount of these gains is concealed from the public view, but ablo financiers, who have made nn examination from every available souice, place It at seventeen per cent, per nnnum, ns a low estimate. Taking this estimate to be true, or even taking the prollls as olllcially re poiled, in 18G9, what follows r What a dram on Ihe lesouices of the people Is here disclosed ? Every national bank note is sued is a perpetual promise to pay, is it not ? The fact that they are subject to re demption makes no difference, because n redemption thereof does not withdraw it from circulation. When icdecmcd, they arc not destroyed but the direction of their circulation temporarily changed. If this is true and Is there any doubt about It ? every national bank bill is a continuing se curity for the use of which, In one form or nuother, we nrc paying tills enormous in terest. We are in favor of national banks and are not discussing tho question of their necessity or legality. Hut we are opposed to tho close corporation feature thereof by which this enormous per centngo of profits goes into the pockets of a favored few ; the many being absolutely prohibited from an opportunity to reap a share thereof. How long will the people endure this ? How long will they permit the existence of thU oppressive monopoly ? Wc want cur- icncy, but not a currency that pays seven teen, or, even, four teen per cent, profits, per annum, to the issuers. Let the people start tho demand and make it so loud and imperative that it will be heard and obeyed on the lloor of Congress down with all monopolies, and givo us a free banking system that will furnish us with nmplo currency without sapping the industries of the country. ACT WINIJKY. In the course of a few days, tho voters and tax payers of Rutland will assemble to de cide an impoitant question. We say "vil lage," becausetho villageof Itutland ami the "Itutland graded school district" aro one nnd the same. The object of this meeting, as expressed In the warning therefor, Is "to see if the district will vote a tax sufficient to maintain the schools therein, the re mainder of the school year, nnd pay the in debtedness of the district." Tho question of raising taxes, In a free country, Is al ways an important one. It Is n question in icfeience to which every property holder has an interest, and upon which each has nn equal voice. The voice and vote of him who pays but twenty-five cents is equal to that of his more wealthy neighbor whose taxes may be hundreds or thousands of dol lars. When this subject of taxation is con nected with our public schools and the cause of education, It assumes a double In terest and importance. Kv cry tax-payer, in the first place, has n personal and equal vote with his fellow citizen In deciding wneuier or not a tax shall bo raised, and If raised, to what amount. It would seem too late in the day for it to be necessary to say anything In reference to the value of our public school system, or the wise policy of placing the means of obtaining a higher education, than has, ns yet been at tained, freely before our clilldi en without money and without juice. Perfection can- not be attained, but the vast progress mado In our public schools is known nnd admitted by all. The maintenance; ot theso schools, thrown open to all, where every one can be educated at the public expense, basal ways been n feature of Vermont legislation and laws. Hut for them. Jacob M. Howard, Stephen A. Douglass or Aaron H. Cragln would, In all human probability, never nave uecn In tho United States Sen ate neither would Jacob Collamer and Columbus Delano hnvo occupied sents In ine executive cabinet. To those havlnir children to educate, who nre now receiving tho advantages of our educational institu tions, words me not neeessnry to mnke them fully appreciate, that they receive nir moie tnnn they pay. To others, who being tax-payers yet receive no Immediato benefit in tho persons of their own family, theso frco schools nro just as Impoitant, and arc, to a certain extent, as beneficial as to tho others. They must know nnd feel that our safety, as a country, depends upon the education of our youth. They cannot, wo are sure, contemplato without horror, tho results, which would bo sure to flow. In a very few years, to the country If tho present generation bIiouUI be allowed to grow up ignoinnt, Idle and vicious be. cause this trinity is always a unity. Let our fellow clllzcus calmly consider tho question nnd net accordingly. Wo believe In tho most strict economy and rigid ac. countablllty In the management of our schools j and whllo wo demand this, wo de sire to sco tho cxertiso of a wise, not a foolish economy. We believe that tho THE RUTLAND most nmplo fncllltlcs for procuring an edit cation should be freely placed before our children, nnd wo cannot bcllovo Hint our citizens will hesitate to nrovldo tho ncces sary moans, whllo demanding, nt the samo time, that It bo expended wisely nnd economically. Wo understand Hint the question now unwonted Is. nrnctlcnllv. be tween thonlternntlvcs of closing the schools for the remainder of tho year, or voting an additional tax. no should rcgiet exceed lngly to see our schools closed, but tho people nro the fountain of nil now er. and with them rests the decision and tho responsibility. Wo know how difficult It Is to raise money : wc know the Rnlf.ilnntnl that will be required to meet this additional burden ) but Is It not better to bear the burden oppressive though It will be to somo and many of us than deprivo our children of their winter schools ? Can't wo lop off some other public cxncndltniTs. more than enough to mnko the difference? wo trust, wc bchcvc,that cur fellow cltl zens will examine this matter, in all its bearings, calmly, dispassionately, remem boring their children, and wo shall bo con tent witli their judgment nnd action.

The Cabinet meeting which began at noon Friday, lasted until nearly 5 o'clock, and was the longest held sinco' the end of the rebellion. Secretary FMi presented ine despatches lrom Sickles, hut these did not cause much comment, as it was sli that the hostility displayed towards him came from the enemies of the Spanish Gov ernment' The Secretary of State present- eci a statement ot what lias already been accomplished by him in preparing for war, A synopsis of the reports of tho Serrntnrv of the Treasury and Secretary of War were aiso presented, together with some forty pages ot the President s message, in manu script, already prepared Tho discussion of these matters occupied the after noon.

A ic solutlon was adopted urging upon mayors and common councils of cities and towns the Importance nnd necessity of providing themselves at once with a large supply of water, that can bo made available for ex tinguishing fires. Tho committee made the following fur ther recommendations : A general application of u-licf valves to nil lire engines and hydrant heads, to be used in connection with shut-nlT nozzles, as the best means of encouraging the use of water and providing for its judicious appli cation nt fires.

In tho United Stales district court on Thursday, at Huilingtou, says the Vne I'rfKt, ii healing was had in tho matter of S. Wright & Co., of Pownal. It was a rule to show cause on the part of M. V. Potler of Pownal, tho assignee, ns to why ho should not be removed for alleged col- luslon witli the bankrupt m the sale of the property of the estate. Evidence was given by Messrs. Parker it Son, creditors of the estate, tending to show that tho public sales ot Hie properly were collusive and re suited iu a sale to the brother of Hie bank rupt, for much less than the value of tho properly.
