The Cuba resolution of the Senate Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs, proclaims belligerent
rights to the Cabans, and reasserts the Monroe
doctrine. Sumner made the report. It de
mands immediate emancipation of slavery,
and exacts other conditions from Spain. It is
impossible to get the full import of the resolu
tions as yet. They cause much excitement and
some astonishment.
One third of the navy is now afloat in the
North Atlantic squadron, including three iron
clads. Instructions will bo issued to Admiral
Lee to protect American citizens to the fullest
extent.
The following is Sumner’s resolutions:
Kosolved, That the people of the United
States cannot hear with indifference the reports
of barbarous outrages which reach them con
stantly from the neighboring island, Cuba, and
that they protest against the repetition of such
acts, whether by the Spanish government or in
surgents seeking independence; that they de
nounce with indignation tho shooting of cap
tives taken with armB in their hands as violation
of the first principles of civilization and contra
ry to the precedent happily established on the
North American continent; and in the name of
humanity they solemnly insist that these things
shall cease.
2d. That the people of tho United States are
pained to hear that pretension of property in
man is still npheld in the island colonies of
Spain lying in American waters; that human
beings endowed by nature with the right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness, are held as
slaves and despoiled of all rights; that instead
of terminating this pretension at once, the
Spanish government propose to protract it for
an indefinite period by an impossible system of
gradual emancipation; that such a spectacle is
justly offensive to all who love republican insti
tutions, of which liberty and equality are cor-
dinal principles, and especially to the people of
the United States who now, in tho name of jus
tice and for tho sake of good neighborhood, ask
that slavery shall cease at once.
3d. That the United States being once col
onies, achieved independence, as a nation, by
successful resistance to European power, claim
ing to govern them, and whoso example was
followed afterwards by the Spanish colonies on
the American continent, all of which achioved
independence; likewise that already the same
aspiration for independence begins to stir in
the neighboring colonies of Great Britain, that
these instances are in harmony with the spirit
of the age, and teach that the day of European
colonies in this hemisphere has passed; that
impressed by this conviction the people of the
United States regret to witness the extraordinary
efforts of the Spanish government, by violence
and blood, to maintain unnatural jurisdiction
in Cuba, forbidden by tho great law of progress
and hostile to the best interests of both parties.
4th. That the people of the United States de
clare their sympathy with their fellow Ameri
cans in Cuba struggling for independence, and,
at the same time, their sympathies are with the
people of Spain in their present efforts for lib
eral institutions in their own ancient land;
and they call on this people as the first
stage in reform at home, and for the sake of
peace to recognize at once the right of Cabans
to govern themselves; that they make this ap
peal with sincere good will to the people of
Spain, and with the assistance of justice they
do to others that which will redound to their
own happiness, welfare and renown.
5th. That the President of the United States
is charged with the duly of commnnicating these
resolutions to the government of Spain.
Washington, June 22.—Hoar's resignation
takes effect upon the appointment and qualifica
tion of his successor.
Akerman is here, but the impression exists in
high quarters that the formalities preceding
qualification will require a month.
The President has signed the department of
justice bill, which greatly increases the patron
age of the Attorney General. Hoar will con

qualifies, during which time the patronage of
Justice will have been expended.

The President has himself declared that he
intends to remove Motley, Alinister to Englnnd,

never so intimated to Fish, though the Intter

ADDBESS TO THE PEOPLE.
The Democratic members and Senators have
issued an address to the Legislatures elected
this year. Nearly one-third of the United
States Senate depends, for the character of next
Congress, upon the Fall elections. They have
strong reasons to hope for favorable results.
They beg their Southern fellow-citizens not to
risk loss by electing persons who cannot take
the test oath, or who are under disabilities im
posed by t^Le Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments. They will certainly be excluded. A
foil Congressional Committee has been appoin
ted.
12 p. m.—The following is a synopsis of the
address:
The undersigned beg leave to call your atten
tion to the peculiar importance of the elections
which take place this year, and respectfully to
submit some suggestions for your consideration.
By State Legislatures to beelected, nearly one-
third of tho United States Senate will he cho
sen, and nearly all the' members of the next
House of Representatives are to be elected next
fall. Upon the coming elections, then, depends
the questions whether the Democratic Conserv
ative element in the Senate shall bo increased,
and whether that element shall have a majority
in tho House of Representatives; and, as a
consequence, whether we shall have a constitu
tional, economical and honest Government, or
j a continuance of a revolutionary, extravagant
| and wasteful parlizan rule; whether we shnii
' have general, uniform, just and constitutional
legislation, with reasonable taxation and frugal
expenditure, or unconstitutional, partial and
unjust class legislation, with oppressive and
unequal taxation and wasteful expenditure.
That we have strong reasons to hope for a favor
able result, ia plainly apparent. The elections
already held clearly show that the tide of re
form has set in with a power that cannot be re
sisted, if no blunders be •committed by the
friends of reform. If they do their duty and
act wisely; if they throw off all opposition
and act with vigor and steadfastness, there is
every reason to hope that their efforts will bo
rewarded by success. Let there be no dissen
sions about minor matters.
No time should be lost in tho discussion of
dead issues, no manifestation of narrow or pro
scriptive feeling, no sacrifice of the cause to
gratify personal ambition or resentment, and
let the best men be chosen for candidates, and
wo may hope to see our country redeemed from
misrule.
And in this connection we beg leave to say a
word to our fellow-citizens of the Southern
States. Do not risk the loss of Senators and
Representatives by electing men who cannot
take the test oath, or who are under the disbil-
ity imposed by the Fifteenth Amendment. "What
ever may be said of tho validity of that amend
ment or of the test oath act, you may rest as
sured that Senators elected by the votes of mem
bers of Legislatures who are held by tho Radi
cals to be thus disqualified will not bo permitted
to take their seats, and that members of the
House of Representatives thus disqualified will
also be excluded. It is the plainest dictates of
wisdom not to incur any such risks. Wc hope
soon to see the time when all disabilaties will
be removed, but in the meantime do not, we
entreat yon lose the opportunity to strengthen
tho Democratio and Conservative force in Con-
gress and the possibility, nay, probability of ob
taining a majority In the next House of Repre
sentatives by putting it in the power of our ad
versaries to overthrow or disregard yonr elec
tions.

000,000 taken from the East Gold banks will

Heaton, member of Congress from North
Carolina, is dead.
Four of the seven members of the Senate Se
lect Committee, on a subject somewhat involv
ing the San Domingo treaty, made a report to
day, in which they exonerate General Babcock,
the special agent sent to that Republic by the
President, from the charge of Davis Hatch, an
American citizen, that Babcock did not interfere
for his release from prison, where he was placed
by the Baez Government; bnt rather counseled
it, because of the fear that he would, if at lib
erty, oppose the making of that treaty for the
annexing of San Domingo to this country.
The Committee declare that there is nothing to
show there was anything wrong, or which in
the least degree attaints the treaty. They also
hold that Hatch joinedthe revolutionists against
tho defacto government, and in the punishment
awarded, there is no redress as asked for by this
government, because a sojourner in a foreign
country is amenable to the laws which ho has
violated. Tho minority of the Committee—
three members—do not agree with the majority
on a single point, holding that Babcock had
been indifferent to Hatch, and connived at, if
he did not advise, his continued imprisonment;
that it is a disgrace that no effort was made to
protect an American citizen, and they deny the
insinuation of tho majority, that the investiga
tion on the memorial of Hatch, asking for in
demnity of the San Domingo Government was
proposed for the purpose of injuring or defeat
ing the treaty. Although they say Hatch has not
properly presented his bill of damages, he is
entitled to reparation for injuries suffered from
imprisonment Now that the reports have been
made, the Senate will, on Monday, resume the
consideration of the treaty.
Congressional.
Washington, June 23, noon.—The Senate
last night considered .the Southern Railroad
bill.
An amendment for a land grant to the Deca
tur, Aberdeen and Vicksburg Railroad was re
jected by 20 yeas to 25 nays.
Mr. Buckingham moved an amendment strik
ing out tho provisions for a speedy extinguis h
ment by tho Government of Indian land titles
in the Indian territory, which, was adopted.
Several Senators remarked that there were no
Indian reservations along the proposed line.
Various amendments were submitted and sub
sequently withdrawn; among them, one by
Morrell, of Vermont, authorizing railroads to
be bnilt anywhere in any State, by anybody,
and granting for that purpose all lands not al
ready taken by railroads. [Laughter.]
Casserly said tho land grant fever in the Sen
ate amounted to delirium.
On motion of Air. Harlan, the 25th section
of the bill was stricken out, by a vote of 20
to 19.
On motion of Mr. Howard, the names of four
additional incorporators were inserted.
Air. Nye moved to substitute, in lieu of tho
incorporators in the bill, the name of John 0.
Fremont and a largo number of others. He
advocated the amendment as reconciling cer
tain differences connected with the work.
Air. Howard thought that, as the President of
the Memphis & El Paso Railroad, Fremont had
ss much to do as he could attend to. He op
posed any revision of the corporators. He crit
icized the conduct of Gen. Fremont whilst in
France in regard to his management of the
affairs of the proposed Memphis & El Paso
Railroad.
Air. Trumbull defended Gen. Fremont.
Senator Howard then obtained the floor and
held it until midnight, when the bill was made
the order of business for Thursday evening.
The Senate then adjourned.
Washington, Juno 23.—House.—Tho entire
morning was occupied in the discussion of the
apportionment bill as amended by the Senate.
Tho previous question was moved, but failed of
a second, when a number of amendments were
introduced.
In the House, after a Ions: debate the appor
tionment bill was referred to the judiciary com
mittee by a vote of 98 to 95. This action is re
garded as equivalent to its defeat this session,
as the jndiciary committee stands number ten
on the committees to be called, and it is not
likely it will be reached. The vote was sec
tional—not party. The Southern and Western
members opposing its reference with some few
exceptions.
Tho Georgia bill, heretofore telegraphed, was
reported. Mr. Dawes offered a substitute, in
effect, recognizing the fact that as Georgia had
ratified the several amendments to the Consti
tution she was entitled to representation, and
was authorized to organize the militia for her
defence. Other amendments were offered,
when Mr. Farnsworth object«d, saying Mr.
Butier had no right to accept amendments.—
When Butler, the chairman, resigned the floor
for that or any person, he (Farnsworth) was en
titled to it and was instracted by the minority
of the committee to report the amendment.—
Farnsworth andBeck accused Batler of bad faith,
in partially only obeying the majority of the
committee.
It was agreed that the previous question be
seconded at 2 o’clock to-morrow.
Senate.—10, p. ai.—Air. Casserly objected to
the immediate consideration of Sumner’s Ca
ban resolution.
Sumner replied that they had been carefully
considered in the Committee.
Howard thought they might as well vote on
the question now.
Casserly persisted in his objection and the
matter goes ever under the rules.
The Chinese labor bill was postponed on ac
count of the illness of Casserly, who desires to
amend it. In the course of the debate the dis*
position to interfere with Chinese contracts was
qnite strong.
Tho tax bill was resumed. No action—ad
journed.
The Senate is considering the Southern Pa
cific bill to-night.
The Fremont interest is quite hopefuL
Washington, June 24.—The Senate after a
long debate adopted Nje's amendment, placing
General Fremont’s name at the head of tho in
corporations of the Paoifio railroad by a vote of
31 to C. The question of gauge was discussed
to adjournment. Tlio total number of incorpo
ration is now 11C.
Washington.—The Senate is discussing Cuba.
The Houso bill authorizing the Secretary of
the Treasury to license pleasure yachts, passed.
Georgia was resumed in the House. Air.
Schofield argued that the term of the legislature
commenced with the life of the State. If the
State was admitted in 1SG8, the term com
menced then. If tho State requires this bill
for admission tho Legislative term commences
with its passage.
Farnsworth supported his amendment which,
in effect electa a now Legislature this fall, con
tending that when the Legislators commenced,
work their term of office commenced. He
declared tho objeot of Butler’s bill was to
illegally extend the Legislature’s term to 1872,
and the Gonemor’s term to 1874, thus giving
that man Bullock four years more of oppression
and plunder.
Bingham followed and declared thus to give
Bullock and the legislature two additional years
violated the pledge of Congress, violated tho
Constitution of the United States, violated the
Constitution of Georgia, and violated the de
clared creed of the Republican party.
Garfield is addressing the House in favor of
some measure securing elections next fall.
10 p. m.—Senate.—A bill making the 'fourth
of July, Christmas, new years’ and thanksgiving
days legal holidays in the District of Columbia,
was passed, and goes to the President.
The bill declaring the bridge between Phila
delphia and Camden a post road, was passed.
Messrs. Fowler-and Thurman spoke against
Sumner. Mr. Thurman said the resolutions
were very grandiloquent, bnt what good would
this piece of rhetorio do the Cubans ? He was
in favor of saying to Spain, and in the sim
plest woril3 in which it can be expressed,
“That you not only ought to recognize the
independence of Cuba but you must do it.”
He would now move to strike out tho second
and third sections of the resolutions. Casserly
also spoke against the resolutions, but was in
terrupted by the regular order, tax bill, when
the income tax was strikeu out—vote 34 to 23.
After which the bill was made the special order
for Monday. A new apportionment bill was in
troduced.
Senate is in session to-night.
House.—After a prolonged discussion and
decided negative vote upon mixed schools, the
Georgia bill passed in the following shape and
goe3 to the Senate:
Section 1. Be it enacted, That the State of
Georgia having complied with the reconstruc
tion acts and the fourteenth and fifteenth arti
cles of amendment to the Constitution of the
United States having been ratified in good
faith, by a legal legislature of said State, it is
hereby declared that the State of Georgia is en
titled to representation in the Congress of the
United States, and nothing in this act contained
shall be construed to deprive the people of
Georgia of tho right to an election for members

THE NEGRO CADETS.
Their Reception at West Point—The
Charges of Maltreatment Reiterat
ed.
Correspondence of the Xev> York Sun.j
West Point, June 16.—The colored cadets
we the absorbing topic of military and West
Point circles. There is great uneasiness to
. ra^he exact status of the two “boys of des
tiny,” Michael Howard, of Mississippi, amd
James W. Smith, of South Carolina- The
two boys have passed the physical examina
tion, and are drilling, messing and sleeping
members of the Cadet Corps. Colonel Boyn
ton says the exception taken to young Smith’s
eyes is a common exception^ dozens of white
boys being probated in the same manner an-
maily.
Correspondent — Ho they generally get
through when probated ? -
Colonel Boynton—I hardly ever knew one
to foil. The boys are here, and from the Pro
fessors they shall have justice. The other ca
dets dislike it; but they cannot change it—
The examinations are to be written oat, and
the examining sheets numbered and not
named. The judges of each boy’s paper most
be impartial, for they do not know who an
swers the questions, except by number. Such
a number—say 40 or 25—is rejected, and the
cadet stands or foil with the number.
CADET PERSECUTION.
Concerning the words of burning insult
heaped upon those colored boys by the white
cadets. I must tell the truth and let the re
sponsibility foil where it must I have heard
white cadets (of the older classes) say to these
boys while on drill most fiendish things. - A
cadet who graduated two days ago said in my
hearing, and while the colored cadets were on
drill, ‘You d—d niggers, why don’t you get
away from here?” “You speckled cuss, you
look like a dead nigger.” “Look at the
1” “We’llput the d—black rascals
in tho river,” etc. These are common epi
thets, and they are said directly to the face of
the colored cadets. Burning with indignation,
I said to a graduating cadet thus swearing,
“Hushl don’t say those things right to the
poor boys; don’t speak so lound.” The an
swer was in a louder voice, “I want these
stinking black rascals to hear me, and then get
away from here.” At this the lighter of the
colored cadets showed a
SUPPRESSED EMOTION,
hut stood like John Huss at the stake, It
would hot do to strike down his assaulter. He
could not break the oanks. Then, if one of
these cadets should challenge every cadet who
calls him to his face a “d— black-hearted nig
ger b—,” they would have to fight two-thiras
of the Academy. Not the professors, for they
are as truly gentlemen as they are good offi
cers. Not one spoken word of condemnation
comes from them. If they have any internal
burnings, they stoically suppress any outward
expression. 1 will say here it is ail bosh about *
the cadets treating these colored boys kindly.
The indignities they heap upon them would
be unbearable to any white boy of spirit
Hundreds of times a day they are publicly
called names to their faces, so mean that!
blush to think of them. I dare not write them.
As they passed out from these insulting re
marks yesterday I followed them to their
rooms. They showed no resentment Theirs
was a Christian resignation. “We expect it,
and wo shall try and stand it,” stud Cadet
Smith. “But it was not so at the Hartford
High School. There I was chosen orator, with
THE NEXT HIGHEST HONOR,
but here they pick on us and insult us in the
meanest way." Here he showed me a cata
logue of the Hartford High School, and there
stood the name of James vV. Smith as ho grad
uated with the next highest honor 1
THE PROBABILITIES.
Wishing to know from personal knowledge
whether the boys would pass the mental exam
ination, I gave them a personal examination.
I regret to say there is no possible chance of
Michael Howard passing. He will have to
study another year. In spelling he missed"
such words as February and Wednesday. He
could not divide 5 by 0, in decimals, nor parse
a common sentence correctly. He will bilge.
But not so with James W. Smith. He spelled
eveiy word correctly. In arithmetic he ren
dered quickly the most difficult examples. He
reduced the following mixture in a moment:
Divide 127 minus .06 plus 400 by .007 minus
.000999. He is also proficient in grammar.
James W. Smith will pass the examination
successfully.
ThE following gem from the 'writings of
Dickens has of late been going the rounds of
tho press. It was beautiful before; the world’s
beravement of Thursday, the 2d day of June,
makes it sadly appropriate now:
“There is nothing—no, nothing—beautiful
and good that dies and is forgotten. An in
fant, a prattling child, dying in its cradle, will
live again in tho better thoughts of those who
loved it, and play its part, though its body he
burned to ashes or buried in the deepest sea.
There is not an angel added to the hosts of
heaven but doe3 its blessed work on earth in
those who loved it here. Dead 1 Oh, if the
good deeds of human creatures could be traced
to their source, how beautiful would even
death appear! for how much charity, mercy
and punned love would be seen to have their
growth in dusty graves!”
The Foreign Mail Service.—Postmaster-
General Cresswell has accepted the offers re
cently made by the agents of the Cunard and
Inman lines of steamers to transport the mails

Cherbourg, France, and Hamburg, Germany.
On Wednesdays by the steamers of the Wil
liams «fc Gnion Line, to Queenstown and Liver

Cunard Line, to Queenstown and Liverpool, and
of the North German Lloyd Line, to Bremen.
On Saturdays, by steamers of the North Ger
man Lloyd Line, to Southampton and Bremen>
and of the Inman Line, carrying the Irish mail
only to Queenstown. The foregoing arrange
ments include all the available service afforded
by the existing lines of transatlantic steamers.
The Great Earthquake at Oaxaca, Mexioou
Particulars have come to hand, by mail, of
the terrible earthquake which nearly rained tha
entire city of Oaxaca, Mexico, on the 11th ult.
About 11 o’clock p. ir., several hard shocks worn'
felt, causing destruction of life and property
all over the city. The motion was oscillating
at first from south to north, then vertical or
trembling. The shocks lasted about flfi.v-eiigbf
seconds, and in force, destruction and severity,
surpassed anything of the kind that haa -ever
taken place in Mexico. The palaoo was s>!unoet
destroyed, and it will require thousands of dol
lars to'again make it suitable for oetrjpanoy.
The whole of the corridors of tha ol8. convent
of San Jnan de Dios fell, burying fo nr persona
and wounding many more. Tha clock tower,
which was only finished on the fifth of May,
was shaken down, passing through the top of
the building into the Supreme Court rooms,
and through tho floors of these into the portal^
of the palace. The total number of persona
killed is about one hundred, while it is impossi
ble to ascertain tho number of the wounded.
Tho shocks continued at intervals during Tho
following days and terror reigned supreme
throughout the city, the people remar.'ing in
tho public squares, and outside of the city for
fcar that greater shooks would ooine, and on
acoount' of its dilapidated condition make a
complete rain of tho entire city.
