Jay Cook & Co. were forced into bank

the perils of greatness. The lords of
American finance are now beggars at the

TnE distress of the Chinese with re
gard to the audience given by the Em
peror to the foreign representatives is
ludicrously apparent from the accounts
which continue to appear concerning the
interview. At Kivel-yang-foo it was told
that the embassadors were so paralyzed
at the augustness of his Imperial Majes

word, and that most of them had to be
led out in a fainting condition.
When we come to figure down in cash
the indemnity to be demanded from the
Santiago executioners, the calculation
will be a simple one. Senor Alfaro’s
offer of a million dollars for his life, and
tile Spaniard's refusal of that princely
ransom, gives us a basis upon which we
may, up to the latest advices, fairly
ground a claim of one hundred and ten
millions, with a good many chances of a
further increase yet to hear from.
The Chicago Tribune suggests—and
we second the motion—that when the
House of Representatives passes a reso
lution for war with Spain it will also pro
vide that each Congressman shall forth

bill. We might thus get money enough
to pay for three or four corvettes of the
size of the Tornado, and this would help
ns materially in capturing and punishing
that offending craft.
A new journal of a new kind, which has
been from time to time announced for a
long time past, is to appear before the
end of the present year. It is to bo called
the Daily Press, to be published in Lon

a reproduction in miniature of the orig
inal articles and correspondence published
by all the other morning journals issued
at 5 a. m. Thus, one page will be devoted
to the Times, one to the Telegraph, one
to the Daily News, and so on; the whole
forming a guide to the press of the day.
How long the regular journals will sub
mit to this sort of thing remains to be
seen.
Of Course—The carpet-bag thieves
who have been plying their vocation at
Columbia, South-Carolina, for five years
past, are represented as heartily favoring
the annexation of Cuba, but equally
averse to any personal participation in
hostilities. They all agree that Cuba
would be a splendid place to “carpet-bag"
to. South Carolina being about exhaust
ed, Neagle, ex-Controller of the State, is
represented by the Charleston News as
proposing to lead the advance, there not
being tno slightest prospect of his ever
getting another lick at what is left in the
Carolina strong box.
B0& TWeed SEtsuTes Ills Spoil,
The New York Herald gives a list of
real estate valued at §1,335,000, besides a
large amount of other property, which
has been conveyed from time to time by
\V. M. Tweed, the convict, to members
of his family and other parties within
the past two years.
With fiendish sagacity, as soon as he
discovered that his knavish transactions
were awakening suspicion, the work of
hiding away his ill-gotten gains was
commenced. To completely perfect the
arrangement, in some instances these
transfers have changed hands many
times, with every formality of law, so
that the condemned felon is still un
doubtedly a millionaire. The longest
time for which he can be sentenced to
the State’s prison is fifty-one years, but
the general opinion seems to have settled
upon fifteen years as the period of his
imprisonment. In the meantime active
and ingenious counsel will make a strong
fight for a stay of proceedings, and con
test every inch of ground for their weal
thy client. With such vast means at
command also, it is safe to affirm that
locks and prison bars will be powerless
to confine this august villain if he re
solves to be free. A moiety of his wealth
would raise and equip a secret force of
desperadoes, who could storm and cap
ture any fortress in America. The po
tent influence of gold, too, can still be
brought to bear upon keepers, sentinels,
and even high officials, if the experience
of several years past affords Tiny criterion
in the premises.
On the whole, then, it is easy to per
ceive that, barring the bubble reputa
tion, Boss Tweed’s case is by no means
desperate, and his example will be treas
ured up in the rogue’s calendar as a
splendid success, and eminently worthy of
imitation.
But the saddest consideration is, that
this arch conspirator and thief has many
followers in an humble way in the coun
try. Thousands actuated by similar mo
tives seek to sequester and cover up their
property from the sight and reach of
honest creditors. This is all wrong, and
a most fatal policy. It tends to harden
the public heart against the tenderest
appeals of the needy, and will destroy
confidence between man and man, and
make utter shipwreck of all credit.
Moreover it will be a blight and indelible
stain upon the character and prospects of
those, who thus seek to abjure their
legitimate obligations.
The cases are few indeed where an
honest man, willing and anxious to pay
his just debts, cannot obtain time and ac
commodation from his creditors. Noth
ing but malice or insanity could induce
them to pursue any other course. It
would be cutting open the goose to get
the golden egg. Let ns hope then that
our people will gird up their loins and
address themselves with renewed energy
to the liquidation of their honest debts.
The bankrupt law is good in its place but
should never be abused, and honesty is
the best policy under all conditions and
circumstances.
Since the above was written, it has
transpired that Tweed was sentenced to
thirteen years confinement in the New
York Penitentiary, and to pay a fine of
§12,500. The motion for a stay of pro
ceedings has also been denied, and the
Judge administered a withering rebuke
to the prisoner when passing sentence
upon him. If the guilty offender could
be indeed put to constant hard labor on a
regimen of bread and water, and made to
serve his entire term in the State’s prison,
it might do some good. But we doubt,
capitally, whether such will be his lot.
On the contrary, he will probably be per
mitted to enjoy every luxury that money
can command, and find obsequious ser
vants in his janitors. Such is the influ
ence of gold, even admitting that he does
not yet escape the shackles of the law.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
The Spanish Muss.
The day dispatches in this edition re
port Secretary Robeson in a worse hurry
than ever with his naval war preparations.
If the Secretary’s movements continue
to accelerate so rapidly, his best friends
fear that so far from not finding time to
take off his pantaloons, he will have to
strip to the work, 'however cold the
weather may be.
According to the New York Herald the
Secretary has sent to all the navy yards
urging them to the most desperate state
of activity in getting ready every thing
which can float. He has also telegraphed
to all the naval squadrons on foreign sta
tions, telling them to put steam on every
thing, and hurry it forward to Key West.
This is startling; but we turn with
some comfort to Jennings, of the New
York Daily Times, who double leads an
announcement that everything is pretty
nearly serene, and getting more so every
minute. We know that Jennings is the
New York organ-grinder, and should be
well informed. It is true that Robeson
is a member of the Cabinet and ought
also to be well informed—but Robeson is
evidently flurried, while Jennings is cooL
Jennings is the boy for our money, and we
will stick by him to the last.
The dispatches also state that General
Phil Sheridan has been ordered to Wash
ington and will take command-in-chief of
the land forces to operate against the
Cubans. That looks unpromising. It
looks as if the administration doubted
.the maintenance of peace. And then, too,
there is the London Daily News, rumor
ing that the American ultimatum is equiv
alent to a declaration of war with Spain.
On the whole, we shall stick by Jones.
Hon. Jas. H. Blount.
Our friend and representative in the
Forty-third Congress, Hon. Jas. H.
Blount, left for Washington City Tues
day night. We gave him our benedic
tion, and loaded him with good wishes.
We hope he will have a good time, so
cially, morally and politically. We know
he will do his whole duty os a represen
tative of thepeopleof Georgia, and that his
vote and influence will al trays be found
on the side of truth and right. If we are
not very much mistaken in the man, he
will make one of the most active, useful
members from the South. He is patient,
persevering and industrious—of irre
proachable habits, fine judgment, and
great firmness and decision of character.
We are sure his Congressional career will
add greatly to the high esteem in which
he is held by his constituents, and reflect
mach credit upon him both as man and
legislator. ’•
A Hard Winter.—The navigation of
the Hudson river to Albany closed yes
terday—earlier than any year in the
present century. This indicates a hard
winter. - „
The Savannah “ colored troops,” un
der the lead of that efninent Christian
and renowned warrior, H. Ml Turner,diad
a meeting on Monday night and resolved
that “ the American eagle must not be
driven to its nest, and our citizens longer
gored by the Spanish bhlL” They also
howled for vengeance ! vengeance!—with a
big V—and “stood ready to raise 6000
volunteers for Cuba.” None of the speak
ers, however, have set the example of
volunteering np to date. When this news
reaches Madrid, Oastelar will fall on his
knees and beg for mercy.
The Savannah Advertiser is very right
fully of the opinion that the “ alacrity
with which the people have taken the
cue of cunning men for a war cry is nei
ther a natural nor a healthy political sign.
A people just out of such a war as ours,
with all of its horrible consequences,
should have been taught a lesson about
war strong enough and deep enough to
have Listed a generation, at least. There
are graver questions than this one of
Cnba pressing upon the attention of the
American people. The oountry is bank
rupt and the people are suffering. Re
cent events indicate but too plainly that
the party which had brought about this
ruin is to be brought to the bar of public
opinion, condemned and cast out. Per
haps these Cuban bombs axe being fired
to demoralize the serried and advancing
ranks of the Democracy. Let us straight
en out our own country, and govern it
properly before undertaking the guardi
anship of a strange and not over-tracta
ble people. It is not altogether unnatu
ral to desire the possessions of others,
particularly if they rre fair. The South
may desire Cuba—quick, even upon a
boom-—but she does not want Cuba or
anything else at the expense of war.”
On the same subject the Constitutional
ist makes these pointed remarks :
Mr. Stephens may be right and we may
bo wrong; but we are dear on one point,
and that is the entire neutrality of the
South. What has the South to do with
fighting Spaniards ? What has the South
to do with freeing negroes, many of whom
are recently from the African coast?
What has the South to do with making
a fresh hero of Grant and hdping save
the Radical party ? What has the South
to do with fighting for a flag which has
dishonored her, and for a government
which has sought her destruction in war
and during an angry peace ? Will the
Northern States make friends with ns
and return us to liberty and prosperity,
after thousands of our men are slain in
such a problematical cause ? Ponder
that. When the chestnuts are drawn
ontof the fire, who gets them? War
against France was to have united Ger
many. Has it done so ? Yes, to some
degree, by Prussianizing the weaker
States and shocking the spiritual inde
pendence of the South Germans. If we
are fooled with the idea of making a good
thing by playing bob to the Yankee kite,
let us reflect that the chances of being
laughed at for our folly are very excel
lent indeed. We still think that the
United States will avoid war, if possible.
Whether war comes or not, the South
should keep her neutrality and make her
power felt by masterly inactivity.
Mb. Thomas M. Broom, of Augusta,
while out hunting last Saturday, had a
stroke of apoplexy just after firing at a
squirrel, and fell to the ground insensi

The Atlanta Constitution says the Ros
well Factory is running on full time and
full wages to keep up with its orders.
The auction sale of a portion of the
real estate owned by Mr. James, the At
lanta banker, took place on Tuesday.
Three buildings and some vacant lots
were disposed of. The Constitution says
some of the property “sold at cost, and
some sold low.” The five-story building
on the comer of Whitehall and Hunter
streets was sold to Wm. Markham for
$16,105. It cost S32.000. The store on
Whitehall street next to Mr. James’ bank,
was bought by Dr: Angier for §10,000.
The sale aggregated $55,000. Mr. J. es
timated it would reach §60,000.
We find the following in the Columbus
S>*n of Tuesday:
All Not Going to Cuba.—We have
made up all the officers—commander of
the frigate, Majors and Brigadier Gen
erals, regimental and company officers,
etc.—but have not yet any men. Heap
of people are willing to offer their swords,
but we have met no men yet who are
anxious to carry muskets. The officers
want to stay on the Florida coast during
the hunting season. The Spaniards have
such an uncomfortable way of shooting
people who land on the island for warlike
purposes, that few want to visit the
“Gem of the Antilles.” It is also ex
pected to rent the old shell of the Chat
tahoochee Boat Club to carry the Colum
bus troops to the island.
Death of E. A. Faber.—This well
known contractor and builder, who has
lived in Columbus for thirty years, died
at his residence Sunday at the age of
forty-five years. He was a good man and
a good citizen, and in his death Columbus
loses much.
Sad Death.—That of Dr. R. A. Ken
nedy, which occurred Sunday at Scale,
Alabama, is a sad one. He was a young
man, full of hope and promise. He mar
ried, went to the State fair at Macon on
a bridal trip, caught the small-pox, and
a few weeks after his wedding he is a
corpse.
The Milledgeville Union and Recorder
reports the death last week of Messrs. S.
B. Brown and Elias Barnett—two old
citizens of that place. On the night
after Mr. Barnett's death, his store was
entered and robbed of at least a wagon
load of goods.
The Union and Recorder has this addi
tional item:
Fire—Gin House Burned.—The new
steam cotton gin and grist mill of Mr.
"Wm. Harper, at Midway, was destroyed
by fire on last Friday afternoon. After
considerable trouble and expense, Mr.
Harper had just got his gin in good work
ing order when this calamity befel him.
Some twenty bales of cotton, belonging
mostly to neighbors, brought there to be
einned, were destroyed or injured. It is
believed a match in the cotton caused the
fire. The gin was at work at the time
and Mr. H. made a narrow escape from
-the burning building. A negro boy was
badly burned.
The editor of the Lumpkin Indepen
dent having read somewhere that the
South will -be called upon for 10,000 men
to take Cuba before the year is ended,
proceeds to define his position as follows:
Wanted at this office immediately; a

We find these items in the Monroe Ad

“Rather Queer.”—We understand
that the talented editor of a Temperance

direction from our city. The fire proves
to have been, so we are informed, the gin-

Going Back on the Man and
. * . Brother.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
of Friday, says “Israel Brown, a Georgia
negro, who is to be hung next month, has
sold his body to a doctor fbr §10, and is
investing the money in hair oil, cuffs and
fine shirts.’
Now this is very hard on poor Sambo,
and indeed, is-equivalent to wounding
him in the house of his friends. The Ad
vertiser is a Republican Grant sheet of
the "straightest sect,” and if such a case
of reckless and insensate folly can be
found among the blacks of Georgia,"which
is extremely apochryphal, the Rods and
carpet-bag agencies are responsible for
it. They have arrayed the negroes against
the whites, and played the old Harry
generally among them.
Every one knows that the children of
Ham are creatures of to-day only, and
have no thought for the future. Like the
sailor after a cruise, they spend inconti
nently, and for the gaudiest trifles, the
hard earning of long months. But with
the halter in prospect or any imminent
danger, mortal terror takes the place of
every other emotion.
So we don’t believe this cock and bull
story of “a Georgia negro,” and think his
northern brethren ought t-> be more
charitably disposed than to circulate such
monstrous canards against their dusky
allies.

It looks as though it will soon be
cheaper to abandon duties on imported
goods than to incur the expense of collect
ing them. In thirty ports along the New
England coast, the receipts in 1872-73
were §625,000, and the expenses §232,000
or more than one-third. In sixteen of
these ports, or more than one-half the
number, the cost of collection actually ex
ceeded the receipts. In some cases, as at
Stoaington, Conn., the excess of expenses
was small, about §200 more than the re
ceipts. In others it was enormous. At
Ellsworth, Me., it cost the government
$188 to collect every dollar received. In
Keauebunk, Me., just §6 29 were collect
ed during the year, and the expenses for
collecting were §1279. The ports of
Gloucester and Edgarton furnish the
worst cases of political enstom-houses on
record. In the former it took §18,910
last year to collect $5662, and in the lat
ter §6650 to collect §675.
BY TELEG1
Sunset Cox on tlie Question.
At the German war meeting in New
York, on Friday, Hon. S. S. Cox laid
down the following propositions in -rela
tion to the capture of the Virginius:
Assuming that the Virginius was cap
tured, not in British or Spanish waters,
bnt on the high seas, and that she was on
the high seas at some time during the
chase or detention, cannot be doubted;
then, first, she was flying the American
flag. Second—Was she lawfully flying
that flag? If our Government author
ized her to fly it, she was lawfully under
it. Our Government had given her an
American register, and very recently an
agent of the Government, the Consul,
had given her a clearance. Everything
had been done by our Government to au
thorize her going upon the high seas un
der the American flag. Third—If she
was engage 1 in wrong, the Government
was responsible to the party wronged,
and able to punish the abuse of its flag.
Fourth—If she was lawfully under the
Americon flag on the high seas then
every one on board of her was practically
upon our soil, and it does not matter
whether they were citizens or foreigners,
good men or bad men. Fifth—The
taking of these men from under
our flag on the high seas to Cuba and
executing them was precisely a like case
as if while there was peace between us and
England an armed force was to cross our
borders from Canada, seize a number of
men within our jurisdiction (no matter
whether they were our citizens or for
eigners) alleged to be hostile to England,
and when they got them on Canadian soil,
execute them under drum-head court-
martial. 6. What are the obligations of
the Government to the men on board the
Virginius? Suppose an American in a
foreign port, looking for employment as
a fireman, or engineer, or sailor. He sees
the Virginius flying,the American flag.
Not content with this, for extra caution,
he inspects her register. With still fur
ther caution he sroes to the Consul and
finds he has granted her a clearance. He
is justified in accepting her as an Ameri
can vessel and on a lawful voyage. If
her voyage or her character be unlawful
his government has entrapped him. How
can our Government get over its obliga
tion to protect every man thus induced
to go on board that vessel with the feel
ing that he was still practically on the
soil of his country? 7. The Virginius
was, while on the high seas, as much un
der our protection and jurisdiction as if
she lay in New York harbor. '8. If an
American man-of-war had found the
Virginius on the high seas in the
hands of Spain, would not this
man-of-war have been bound after in
spection of her papers to rescue her ? 9.
The character of the men executed and
their purposes have nothing to do with
the matter. Spain has no more right to
take a bad man from under our protec
tion than she has to take a good man.
10. Spain has taken redress into her own
hands in this case within our own proper
jurisdiction as it were upon our sofl. 11.
The efforts to make this case a like one
to our capture of blockade-runners dur
ing our rebellion foils. There was no
blockade proclaimed nor any war, for
Spain docs not acknowledge her insur
gents as belligerents. Moreover, if the
case were a like one, then the Virginius
should have been first judicially proved
in an admiralty court to be good prize
for violating some regulation of law or of
war before any rights accrued to hold her
crew or passengers to account. Twelfth
—Until the vessel was so condemned it is
clear they could not be even put on trial,
much les3 condemned. > '

Orders peremptory and plenary were
issued by the Secretary the chiefs of

approval of the Secretary.
The next orders issued were to Rear

Washington, November 26.—The No
vember statistical report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, now in press, makes
a showing for the corn product quite as
unfavorable as that which forecasted the
short crop of 1869. The preliminary re
port of the aggregate quantity in that
year, indicated a total of 874,000,000
bushels less than the estimate for the
large crop of 1870; and the present re
turns point to a product of about 868,-
"000,000. The estimate of last year’s crop
of Illinois was 217,000,000. The estimate
of the present is 132,000,000. Only six
States show a crop equal to last year’s,
viz : Virginia, Georgia, Florida, West
VLginia, Oregon and Rhode Island.
The percentage of deficiency in the
principal com growing States, in com
parison with the total product of last
year, is as follows; Kentucky, 4 per cent;
Ohio, 11; Indiana, 22; Illinois,39; Iowa,
28; Missouri, 32; Kansas, 31. The defi
ciency for New York fa 8 per cent., and
16 for Pennsylvania.
In most of the Southern States the
crop is smaller than that of last year. A
direct comparison is made between the
total product of grain in each county in
1872 and 1873, having for its elements
both the comparative yield and the ex
tent of area.
Of November, unlike those of the com
parative condition earlier in the season,
make each estimates the expected crop
in each county, stated in tho form of a
percentage of last year’s crop. The ag
gregate of these estimates varies little
::rom 3,300,000 bales. The season for
picking has been unusually fine thus
far; yet the result may be mod
ified by an exceptional favorable sea
son in the latter part of November,
and in December, or by storms effecting
injuriously the saving of the top crop.
The State percentages, in comparison
with last year, are calculated as follows:
North Carolina, 92; Georgia, 97; Flor
ida, 97; Alabama, 91; Mississippi, 85 ,
Louisiana, 80, Texas, 112; Arkansas, 102;
Tennessee, 102. These figures would be
much lower but for , the increase of area
planted. The estimated total area is, in
round numbers, 9,500,000. A tabulated
statement of the results of these returns,
including the area and yield per acre,
will be found in the report now in press.

NEGRO KUK1UX IN VIRGINIA,
How They Tolerate Free Toting.
An Appomattox correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch furnishes the follow
ing. It shows that the Virginia negroes
are no more tolerant in their notions than
their brethren in -Georgia:
"Frank Moss (the old negro senator and
delegate elect to the lower house,) of
Buckingham, has gotten himself into a
scrape which may result in his serving a
term under Col. Strother instead of in the
capitoL A few nights after the election
he and two other negro “kuklux” went
oat to punish several of their colored
brethren who had dared to vote the Con-
servative ticket. They called at the
house of one of the offenders, who was too
smart to come out, but a little after mid
night they succeeded in decoying another
out of his house, gave him a cruel beat
ing, and might have gone to even greater
lengths had not some of the villagers
been aroused and the scamps frightened
off.
I have learned also that a negro church
in Buckingham has passed resolutions to
expel from their fellowship, “unless they
give evidence of repentance," all of their
members who voted the Conservative
ticket in the late election.
Why the Clergyman’s Daughter Shot
Mr. Haynes.
Jackson (Tcnn.) Whig and Tribune, Nov. 22.]
The Corinth (Miss.) News, November
15, says: “The daughter of Rev. Mr.
Richardson, living a few miles from r.hia
place, having some misunderstanding pre
viously with a gentleman, went to his
home, found him at work, spoke to and
shook hands with, and then drew from
under her shawl a pistol, placed it to his
breast and fired. The man at last ac
counts was living, but in a hopeless con
dition.”
The above article is true, and the gen
tleman wounded was Mr Mark Haynes,
of McNairy county. It is said that he
was engaged to be married to the young
lady, Miss Mattie Richardson, and was
abont to “go back” upon his plighted
word and honor, and had so notified his
fair affianced. "When she received intel
ligence of his contemplated apostacy,
she grew so indignant that she rode
over to Haynes’ residence in a buggy, in
company with a young brother, and, call
ing Haynes towards her, she drew forth
a pistol from under her shawl and shot
him, as above described. Miss Richard
son and her brother were both arrested
after the shooting, and had a preliminary
trial before James Houston, Esq., who
bound them over to the next term of the
Circuit Court of McNairy county. The
bond of Miss Richardson was fixed at
$1,000, and was promptly given. Haynes
was wounded in the right lung, and his
condition at last accounts was extremely
critical. He is a new-comer to this sec
tion, and hails from Georgia.
The Story of a Nice Young Man.
Columbus, O., November 24.— The
sensation of the day is the arrest of Wil
liam Begg, a well-known young lawyer,
charged with forgery. Begg is secretary
of the Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion, and has been regarded as an up
right and sincere member of the Second
Presbyterian Church. He on several-oc
casions, as attorney-at-law, has collected
notes and bills and appropriated the
money to his own use. On Saturday he
forged his mother’s name to a check on
the Citizens’ Savings Bank for §160 and
drew the money. He was arrested, but no
money was found in his possession, and
the bank officers, out of consideration for
his mother, who fa a widow in moderate
circumstances, will not prosecute the
case. Begg was a<min arrested for ap
propriating $100 collected by him for si,
client. It no w appears that he has pur
chased goods at various stores, giving
checks ‘-for larger amounts than the goods
came o on banks where he had no
money and receiving the balance in
money. Begg is now in jail.
Scarcity of Game.—The Eufaula
News says the first of the season gave
promise of an abundance of game during
the winter. This was .particularly the
case with reference to .ducks.- It now
transpires that game of every kind is
much scarcer than for any other winter
for many years. Whether this is owing
to the multitude of hunters who have
thronged tho fields and woods and watch
ed the streams and lakes caused their
departure, or from other cause, we know
not. We have heard it said that the free
‘distribution of Paris green over the cot
ton fields (luring the summer killed many
birds, and thfa may possibly be. the case.
Whatever may be the reason, our spott
ing community fa disconsolate because of
the exceeding scarcity of game.

Annexation of Cuba-An Unan
swerable Argument.
The Chicago Tribune, the great news
paper power of the Northwest, does not
seem to have lost its head amid the war
clamor of that section. It presents the
following argument against hitching on
Cuba to the tail of the American eagle.
We should like to see some of the enthu
siastic favorers of the hitching operation
attempt to answer it:
Cuban annexation is a myth. It is
about the worst thing that could happen
for the Un’ted States at the present
time, and probably the worst thing that
could happen' for Cuba. It is idle to dis
cuss the reasons why the Cubans oppose
annexation. It is enough for us to know
that the Peninsulars (the Spanish party),
the loyal native planters, and the insur
gents are united in their opposition to
this scheme, though they are at logger-
heads about everything else. It wifi not
be difficult, however, to show why the
United States can have no interest in
such a project. In the first place, the
Reparation of Cuba from Spanish rule
will inevitably lead to the abolion of sla
very. Slave-labor being more universal in
Cuba, and more closely identified with
its prosperity than it ever was in the
Southern States, the revulsion that will
follow its abolition fa likely to he more
deplorable in a commercial sense than
we have seen it in the former slave States
of this oountry. No government of fore
thought and honesty would care to as
sume the responsibility of carrying Cuba
through the ordeal awaiting it. As an
integral part of the United States, its
condition, under these circumstances,
would be rendered worse than ever. A
caxpet-bag government would be set up,
by comparison with which that of Louisi
ana,-or Georgia would be of primitive sim
plicity. The conglomerate population of
the island, with the diversity of interests,
would make it an easy prey for the prac
ticed political bandits who would "seize
upon its government, skilled in the arts
-of official plunder through their experi
ence in the Southern States which they
have already helped to “reconstruct.”
•Cuba has a population made up of all the
elements of the world, with new species
which are the product of amalgamation.
Besides the American, the English, and
the French colonies that have held
themselves somewhat aloof, there are
Spanish, Portuguese, Creoles (natives),
Hindoos, Coolies.Chinamen,other Asiatics,
mulattoes, Quadroons, Mestizos, and an
infinite variety of mongrel races. It is
said that over 100 different names are re
quired to distinguish the various divisions
and subdivisions of the Cuban population.
Here would be splendid material for the
experienced carpet-bagger to work upon.
The wealth of Cuba would rapidly
dwindle away without giving America
any of the benefit of it, and the next com
plication would be a war of races, with
which the American Government would
have to deal. We have enough of thfa
sort of thing on our hands now. Let us
take care of the territory we have already
before we attempt to acquire any more,
oven if the temptation should come, as it
d -es not in the case of Cuba. When we
can make thrift of Arizona and Alaska,
both-of which were acquired by purchase;
when we can govern the Indians in the
West peacefully and the negroes in the
South honestly; when we can populate
the Northern Pacific country, and when
we grow np to the clothes we are now
wearing, it may be time to think of an
nexing a new territory. That time seems
now to be a good way off.
Tho Tribune, in another editorial of
the same issue, from which the above fa
extracted, says that a careful examina
tion shows that the leaders of the war-
clamorers are divided mainly into two
classes—bankrupt' politicians and “bust
ed” speculators.
In the former class will be found the
back-pay grabbers, the Credit-Mobilier
corruptionists, the carpet-hag adventur
ers, the lobbyists seeking for spoils, and
all who have been engaged in the frauds
and corruptions and dishonest transac
tions which have been so abundant dur
ing the last four years. What more
available method of “hiding their own
misdeeds is there than to get up a for
eign war? In the inevitable excitement
which must follow, their transactions will
be forgotten, and, if they can tide them
selves over the next session of Congress,
they are safe. Every Congressman who
has taken back-payor forward-pay, every
politician who has been engaged in job-
>eiy, subsidy and speculation is an ar
dent war man, and fa egging on the
people to demand a declaration of
war, and as the time for Congress
draws nearer and nearer, they will clamor
louder and louder. The other class fa
composed of broken-down stock and gold
speculators, who see in this war fever an
opportunity to retrieve losses incurred du
ring the late panic. Tney also are urging
on the people, manipulating public meet
ings, and filling the air with wild rumors, .
in order to fan the popular excitement in
to flame. In the event of war with Spain,
they see an opportunity of running gold
up, and advancing the prices of stocks.
Without such a war, there fa very little 1
prospect that their balloons can bo in
flated again and set flying. It matters
little to them how many men are killed,
how many widows are made, or how much
suffering is caused, provided the stock list
goes up and profits come in.
Cuba Talk in ‘Washington.
Correspondence of the Couner-Joumai.J
Washington, November 23.—Very
little has been said of tho course pursued
by the British Government in respect to
the sixteen Englishmen who were put to
death by the Spanish officials in Cuba,
and the seven Englishmen yet held as
captives; but it is certain that the Brit
ish Ministers are acting with their cus
tomary energy and decision in such mat
ters. The cases of the two governments
against Spain being somewhat different,
they will not act jointly in their reclama
tion against the Madrid Government,
but there is reason for the belief that
there has been a free interchange of
opinion, and that each is advised of what
the other fa doing. The policy of Eng
land is to avoid foreign complication,
and not press extreme demands against
Spain which will necessarily involve a
war. . It fa believed that England will
demand positively the surrender of the
English captives and a money compensa
tion for the families of tho Englishmen
whose lives have been token by Burriel,
and that she will also tender moral sup
port to the demands which the American
Government may make. England, like
the United' States, will contend that,
Spain having constantly denied the ex
istence of a state of war, the capture of
the Virginius on the high seas was tech
nically a violation of piiblio law; and
that in any view- of the matter the sum-:
mary doudemnation of the vessel and ex
ecution of. the captives was indefensible.
THE SPANISH AND CUBAN FORCES.
According to the reports of the English
agents in Cuba, out of one hundred and
five thousand Spanish soldiers sent to
Cuba, onlyjihirty thousand are now living,
the rest having fallen in battle and»by
disease. The Cuban insurgents, accord
ing to the 8ame authority, are stronger
than at any former period, and have now
fourteen thousand well-formed regular
troops. .
THE SENATE NOT IN FAVOR OF WAR.
According to present appearances, the
Administration may count on the support
of tho Senate in its Cuban polioy. Messrs.
Morton, Sherman, Bout well, Stockton, all
seem to think that the difficulty may be
settled without war. Messrs. Hamilton,
Of Maryland, snd Bayard, of Delaware,
are also counted as for a conservative pol
icy by their friends, and.it is almost cer
tain that the Republican Senators will
as a. unit sustain the Administration.
Leading Democrats are reserved and
cautious in their utterances, and ■ say
they -will wait to see what the Admin
istration does before they acquit or
condemn. One of these, who has
been especially "prominent in national
politics, said last night that the excite
