FROM ATLANTA.
Augusta, December 16.—The Atlanta New
Era, a Eepublican paper, opposes farther
Congressional interference in the reconstruc

[We regard this fact as significant The
Baku of the Era has recently spent a week in
Washington, nosing about among the politi
cians. He has no donbt learned that the
leading Bepublicans are opposed to the revo
lutionary measures of Sumner, Drake and
Wilson, and that Bullock and Blodgett are
to be “balked in their perspirin’ passion” for
provisional imperial power. Samivel is nei
ther profound nor witty, but he knows how
to keep ou the strong side as well as the next
man, and keeps np with the movements of
his party as naturally as a blind alog follows
a squeaking wagon.—Ed. News.]
THR CUBAN REVOLUTION.
Havana, December 16.—The Government
is engaged in searching for political offenders..
Many arrests have been made here and in
the interior, including some well known citi
zens.
General Balmeseda was in Havana on
Sunday consulting with Lersundi. He re
turned on Monday with reinforcements.
Additional troops will be forwarded. One
thousand are expected from Spain to-mor
row.
Mb. Douglas Love, foreman of the Det-
moldcoal mine, on George’s Creek, about,
eight miles from Frostburg, Md., was mur
dered at his houBe on Sunday evening. He
was called to the door by two strangers, and
as soon as he appeared was fired at from pis
tols in the hands of each. The ball from one
entered the door, and that from the other
penetrated his brain, and killed him almost
instantly. No clue to the murderers has
been obtained, but it is thought that they
were men who had recently been discharged
from work by Mr. Love.
The New York Commercial regards the state
ment that Hon. Caleb Cushing has been sent
to Madrid to negotiate for Cuba as a mere
rumor, and it says ‘ ‘ there is a spice of ab
surdity about such a report.” That Mr. Cush
ing has been sent to Europe upon this mis
sion, we have the very best reason to believe;
but that the mission will prove an absurd
one, there can be no doubt. Cuba must first
mark out her own destiny, and then she can
elect for herself where she will go. — Wash

STARTLING PACTS.
We have glanced over the report of the Sec
retary of the Treasury, Snd find in it much
for food for sober reflection for nearly all
classes of citizens. It shows the- financial
condition of the country to be most deplora
ble, and its business interests standing in the
utmost jeopardy.
-What can be thought of a country which,
“within a period of .twenty years, in addition
to our agricultural produce, and to our man-
nfactures, which have been exported in large
quantities, has parted with $1,000,000,000 of
the precious metals, and is nevertheless coni
fronted with a foreign debt of $850,000,000,
and constantly increasing?” This, the Sec
retary informs us, is our condition. All
our surplus of productions, and all our gold
and silver we have parted with, and what
have we to show for them ? A debt-burdened,
tax-ridden people, profligacy and debauchery
in public places, extravagance and folly, vice
and wickedness in society, knavery in busi
ness, bribery and corruption in legislation,
swindling and thieving in corporation man
agement, the judiciary demoralized, and the
pulpit turned into political rostrums by cleri
cal demagogues.
Some other not very comforting facts the
Secretary give3 us. He Bays: “Onr exports
as well as our imports are now chiefly in for
eign bottoms. The carrying trade between
the United States and Europe is almost to
tally in the hands of Europeans.” Where,
now, is onr magnificent merchant marine,
which it used, not many years ago, to be our
boast, rivaled even that of the great power
which arrogantly styled herself the “Mistress
of the Seas!” Where the sails which formerly
whitened every sea, caught the morning sun
light, and reflected its evening rays, in every
longitude of the globe, bhiveil every clime
where old ocean rolled its Waves, aud wafted
our commerce into every foadstead and har
bor where marts coold be found or created ?
Vanished, vanished with onr liberties, onr
productions, our treasure, our public and in
dividual economy, onr political and social
morals, our business honor, our integrity and
fidelity in the management of the great trusts
committed to corporations, onr single-mind
edness and devotion os professed Christians,
and our good name.
If some people are so silly as to suppose
that what we have received for our produc
tions, oar precious metals, and the bonds so
largely held against os in Europe, has gone
into or added to the permanent wealth or
healthy business of the country, they are to
tally mistaken. In a mutual exchange of
commodities, upon the most liberal terms,
between different countries, there are doubt
less great advantages, and it is a thing to be
encouraged.- But, to be beneficial to both
alike, it must be when tie currency in each
is sound, business healthy, and legislation
based upon true and enlightened principles
of political economy. Our condition is the
very reverse of this. Everything, in all
these respecfB, is artificial, unsound and
false. The war, the mismanagement of the
currency, the hnge debt, the ill-conceived
and unjust system of internal taxation, and
the unequal and oppressive burdens of the
tariff, defeat all the ends of legitimate com
merce, and tarn it into an almost unmixed
eviL Upon this point the Secretary makes
the following just remarks:
There are many intelligent persons who
entertain the opinion ,that the country has
been benetitted by the transfer of 'our bonds
to Europe on the ground that capital has
been received in exchange for them which
has been profitably employed in the develop
ment of our national resources, and that it
matters little whether the interest upon the
debt is i eceived by our own people, or by
the people of other countries. This opinion
is the result of misrepresentation of facts,
and is ansound in principle. It is not to a
large extent trne that capital which is being
used in developing the national resources,
has been received in exchange for the bonds
winch are held in Europe, while many ar
ticles, such as railroad iron, machinery, and
raw materials used in manufacturing, the
value of which to the conntry is acknowl
edged, have been so received. A large pro
portion of the receipts have been of a dif
ferent description. Qur bonds have been
largely paid for in articles for which no
nation can afford to run in debt; for ar
ticles which have neither stimulated indus
try nor increased the productive powers of
the country; which have, in fact, added
nothing to the national wealth. A refer
ence to the custom house entries wfll sub
stantiate the correctness of the state
ments. Two-thirdB "cf "the importations of
the United State’s consist of articles which,
in economical times, would be pronounced
luxuries. The-warandareduudantcurrency
have brought about unexampled extrava
gance, wluch can only be satisfied by the
most costly products of foreign countries.
No exception cooi<j he takers to such impor
tations if they were paid for in our own pro
ductions. This, udfoftonateiy, is not the
feet They are annually swelling our foreign
debt without increasing' onr ability to pay it.
How disastrous such a course of trade, if
long continued, must be,- it requires no spirit
of prophecy to predict. Nor is it-an import
ant matter that the interest, upon a large por
tion of our securities is received by citizens
of other countries instead of our qwr,
The above facts, drawn horn the annual
report of tljg fiSeorefoyy of the Treasury, just
sent to Congress, will shed no little light
upon the condition to.wlrich this country is
reduced by the rule of the party in power,
and aid in preparing the public mind for the
only remedy which will remove the heavy
burdens of the people, and restore the cur
rency of the Coilstifution.' What that remedy
is no intelligent man can mistake.
