The union of the two newry-formed Prot^c

National ProtxjctivoTariff Leafjue, w.-ms likcly
to bo brought about. It is highly dcKimbl.- that
it ehouhl be. The two organizations would BO<
netessarilybo rivals, but they ean work to
gather to greater advantage than apart.
?
Official confirmation of the death of Generai
Oordou is still lacking ; and there ?ecnis to be
adisponition on the pnrt of the Enjrlish 0Of>
ernnient to encourape the hopc that he is nlive.
The MinUtere do not admit Ihat he is dead, and
Generai Wolseley telegraphs that the report is
fonnded on runior only. It is a popular theory
that the Government are trying to deceive the
Engliah people. That aeemcl hkely enotigh at
first; but there i* no reason why they 8hould
keep up a deception of this kiud so long.
a
Mueh interest will eeutre for ajaaag ilayK about
tho inveatigatious of the Senate coiiiin:tt< <?
into the grievancc.b of the gas consumcrs of tliii*
city. The excessive. chaiges ofthe consohdat^d
craupanies, the ridicnlous farc? of rt-duciug
pric< >, and the freaks of the meters, have beou
the subject of mueh amiuing talk and com
ment; but they really forin a great imposition
on tbe public, and we look to the Scnat? com
mittoe to flnd out just where tho responsibility
liea, aud to make it uuything but a laugiiing
matter. m_
It is a popular theory that the discovery of
flynamite and other high explosivc* will Bim
plify the art of war, as the discovery of gun
powder has done. That is about all anybody
has beon able to eay in its behalf; and now
that excuse for its existonce is in a fair way to
be of no avail. According to a paper reail yes?
terday by Generai Abbott, at Governor's Island,
it is impracticable to use dynamite iu nhells. A
100-ton gun could ftre seventy-five pnunds of
the explosive-that is, if shells fllled with it
ean be flrcd at all-and yet about 2,000 pounds
of dynamite would be required to picrce the
armor of the strongest ship of war.
Britisli valor has again triumphed over the
crude courage of barbarous tnbes. The battle
with Ihe Monassir tribismcn, who murdered
Colonel Stewart'e party, was a brilliant charge
upon a strougly foitillcd camp, the loop-holed
breastworks btdng taken at the poiut of the
bayonet. The enemy's forces were surrounded
gnd diAaatrously defeated. The victory waa
oonipleto, but waa won at high cost, Geueral
Earlo being amoug tho sluin. The scone of tho
battle is leas than two-thirda of the distanoo
botween Korti and Abu Ahmed. The column
is now about 350 miles from Uerber by the
river route, and cannot be expected to reach
that poiut within a uioutli.

A terrible load of responsibility rwt? upon
the mauagers of tlie Almshouse at West Phiia
delphia which was bnrned last night. Tbe ib
BtitBtion was badly managed in the days when
Pliipps stole the roof offit, and his convietion
aud punishnient eeem to liave eftected no ro

lack of ?re cscapes and the faulty construction
of tlie buildmg. for wliieh thero is no excusc.

The seheme recently put, into oporation by

Cggad ugainst the eity, seems already to be
bearing good fruit. By co-operation with the

Inil.s oi uccidents that happen in the cily streets
is iinnieiliately given to the Law Dcpartment
ThesedaUiarecarefuilyii.ed. and if suits for
damages growout of the accidents, even though
years aflenvard, tlie proofa are at hand to show
the exact facts. The usefulness of tho systeui
was demanstratcd in a suit coucluded yestcr
day before Judgo Freedman, which was
l.ronght to recover $20,000 damages. The
Corporation Counsol was ablo to furnish proof
that the big hole in the sidewnlk into which

city without a nionicnt's hesitation.
If the Crcscent City Exposition prove to be

profif somcthing by it gflflf all. lt has not nt
tructed hnmense crowds froni the Noitli ; yet
many hundred intelligont men have visiletl
New-Orleans, and not only exainined the ex

Xorthern visitors heretofore cannot hundle all

oiiK'hly undeistood. The visitor ftBTB.Bg

A WAB OF FEMiEASCE.
Tlie deatli of General Gordon imparts unity
tn the Hiitish operations ic the Soiidan. It is
BOW g war of vongeanoe couducted by a greal
i 'ln :.-! i.in nation at enormous co>t and ti-niblc
risks. It was this a year fgagwhta Cemral
(Jiahain was fi^liting on the seabonnl. His
army had airived too late to rescue the gani
sousof Sinkat and Tokar. Honietliing li.ul l?.
be done to justify the action of tho Hritish
(iovcrnineiit in sending the expedition to the
Somlan ; and sitioe there waa BOthiag g_B8 to dn,
about 7,0(M) hrave Araba were killed at Teb
and Tainanieb in retaliation for the massacie ol
the giinisous. At the very moinent when the
army wa.s slaughteritig Arabs by the thousaml
on the coast, General Gordon was proclaiminx
peace and good-will at Khaitouiu. I'lns nicoii

after the garrisou of that town haii been mas

has been reaumed. Geueral Karle'a lolninu ha?
punished at lliiti the Monaasir tiibe for mur
deiing Colonel Stewart, Mr. Power and theii
coinpatiions. In like inanuer the assaasination
of General Gordon aud the slaughtor of the
troops that remained loyal to him are to be
avenged by an army of twenty thousaml men.
There will be bloodshed all the way from
I.i. 11 to Khartoum aud trom Suakim across tln
descrt to lierber, because the Kngliah pooplc
insist upon buving the childreu of the desert
punished in this awful war of vengeauce.
Whose is the criniet That was a question
hard to answer a year ago. Oanian Digna's
warriors, who wero slaughtered on the sea
board, wero ealled rebels. They had rebelled,
but uot against tho Fnglish. They had riscii
throughout tho Soudau agaiuet cruel Turka
and rapacious Circaissiansj against corrupt
??fticials who had plundeied and misgoveined
them; againat cowardly garrisona thut had
oppre-sod them. They had rebelled againat a
common enemy, whuse disastioiis defeat on the
road to Obeid the English Government had
lacked both oouruge aud prudeuoe to prevent.
lt waa a revoU againat tyranuy und oppreasiou,
and from tho outsi-t tlie Eagliah Miuistry bad
alib:d and abetU'.d it by proclalniing proma
torely tbe nccosflity of_abaudoning tbe BouoUui,
imperilling thercby the safety of every gnrri.aon
in th? eountry. Theao wero the reb. ls, who
were shot down and sabrod by the thousand by
troops that had umlertaken too lato.the rescuo
of Sinkat antl Tokar.
And whose is the crime now t Puleimnn and
his tribe treacheroiiBly niurdcrcd Colonel
Stcwurt'a force after it had bombanlcd .Shcndy
nnd Berbar; nnd now Generai Earle's cnluiim is
-laughtering the Sotulaucse of ihat distnet and
will go on m its snnjruinary coiirso, wreakmg
vengeaneo upon thousands who hatl no part Bj

throngh the treachcry of his own rnmmanders j
and, inoreover, if the steamers from Gubat had
arrived tweutv-four hours carlier there woulil
have been neither a?sa>8ination nor massacre.
rftlHillhllltBBl tho rebels must bo punished tor
tbfl .May of the rescuers and for the treachery
of QoBBfBl Goidon's own men. The poor people
tif the Soutlan must pay the penalty until the
BaMBBtl BM reeking with the bloodshed of n

must have BBBM BBapUlJ BMaat il BBBl to the Nile;
and what is there to do now exoept to slat.ghter
the Sotiilanese 7 It is too late to resitie Gen

1MFR1S0XMEXT F<>R DEBT.
lAnothcr cfiort ia being m.ido to PBB8JM tho
paasnge at Albany of a bill uljoliahiBJj im
prisonmeut foi il.-l.t, aud it is aaJi that theu- is
u I'air prospect of suecess in the measure. It ia
e.-rlain thut tho inninlenance of the present law
il by no liieuns crediiablo to the intolligoaico of
New-York legislaturs, for it ia a relic of bar
lurism of the immt objeeliouablo kiud, aud
there is not a sha low of r.-ason to be alle^rd mi
its behalf. Nothing ean be more^stiipiil than to
nnpiisoii a man for debt, but siu-h imprison
ment is worse thau stttpiil; it is eruel and uu
jiiBt. In ellect we punish iin-n for being uu
lortnnate. aud punish them more aevorely than
ii they were criiniuala, ainco we apply to them
that method of indetorrainate sentences which
we have thus fnr rcfuaed to employ in tbe caao
of the niost incoirigible law-breakeis. The
prlsoner for debt is practlcally a life prisoner
under the present law. Thore are men now in
prison for debt whose stories, if plainly told.
would read like nartatives from tho Middlo
Ages. Uecause they owed wbat they could not
pay, thes? men have been kept in jail for years:
their lives havo been ruined ; their homes havo
been brokcn up; their wires and children have
been dcprived of tlie means of living; and they
themselvcs have suftered tho prolongi d nient.il
torture of hopo deferred unlil their intcllect-s
have been shaken by the strain.
That a commtinily of freemen should so long
have tolcrated this ninn-di'.nis practice is
su.licic.utly disgraceful. That there should be
any attempt to miintaiti it now is nmazing.
Imprisonmrnt for debt is woise than an an
??lir..nism. It is an outrngo. The Western
States long ago showed moro ciiHgiitciiineiit
th in New-York on this bead, for they letustd
to put any such law on their statute bsioks. Of
gOBfgg it is not in tbe interest of tho creditor.
The BBBB who is lockcd up cnnnot carn money,
and thcrcfore canoot pay his debt. A spccial
absnrdity of our systeui is tbat the public nre
compelled to support tho debtor prisoners,
niorcover. Any malicioiis creditor can put this
btirden on the coinintinity, and once imposed
there is iiositivcly no natural termination to tho
iuiprisoiinicnt. In chort, a moro thoroiighly
barbaroiis, uncivilized. inlinmane and irrational
proceduro cannot l>e poinfed out.
The l.egislature oiiu'ht to nbollsh the dis
crcditablo practico absolutely and altog-thcr.
Oideis of anest should be douo away with.
Kxpcrienco proves their futility, and it is time
New-Vork ragg to tho level of contcmporary
civili/atinn in this respect. So long as men can
be arreated on civil process and confiuet' for
yia:?, aud in fact iiidetinitcly, for debt, we can
tii.t, with nny truth, hoitHt that our practice is
niuch in ndvance of that of BtlBBlg, nor can we
jintcnd that d.-mocrutic institutions have
?. iiin .1 the just libcrty ol the citizen miv bctter
than it issociired under absolutist governments.
We tiust thia blot npsin our statute book will
be renioved durinir tlie pfBBBBl session.
