Abating § ispatcj. Ab(iUBTA, GKO : Evening, F'erb. 43, 18511. Does the South Need Cuba. The arguments of interested politic ians must not more be taken as gospel on the subject of acquiring Cuba, than on any other topic. The first and most important light in which the question should be viewed, is that of dollars and cents, while our Slidells rt id wine genus are most wont to consider the matter with reference to its bearing upon •slice seekers and holders. There is no doubt that the project is gaining in popularity at the North, and, as will be seen, when fully understood there, is destined to be acceptable to almost all classes of that section. Even new our revenues under the present tariff rates are insufficient to meet the expenses of government.— If these expenses are to Temain at their present figures, there is no mode of escape from higher tariffs, which of course will give greater protection, that is, more complete monopoly to Ameri can producers or manufacturers of the articles wLich bear the imposts. It is the policy of those who desire protec tion to increase the expenses of gov ernment since thot renders necessary higher rates of duties. Os course if we are to incur a debt of about two hundred millions for Cuba, the necessity for a further increase of revenues becomes more apparent and the government will be compelled to lay a correspondingly higher tariff.— This is the result desired by those who wish to be protected. Again when Cuba sball be axlmitted to the Union, those articles which she produces and which now pay a duty when imported to the States, will be admitted free of tax. Consequently, as the revenues will he diminished by the amounts now derived from all Cu ban imports, auotber necessity will arise, to supply the deficiency so crea ted, by increasing the rates of tarili upon other articles which are not ol Cuban growth. The list of articles which will pay a revenue being nar rowed, the duty mu6t be increased.— Cuba like the South, is solely agricul tural. Both produce nearly the same articles, as sugar, tobacco, &c. Thus while the South will be forced to com pete with Cuba in the home market, the North will receive an additional protection by reason of the increased tariff upon a narrowed list of dutiable articles. Will theJSouth agree to this? The North will pay less than now for what she purchases, and will sell more dearly. Is it to be wondered at that Northern men should favor the purchase, of Cuba f or that Southern strikers for Northern interests should go in for Cuba? Furthermore, the admission of Cuba Will enlarge the free market for North ern manufacturers, aud of course will increase the price of such commodities on the principle, that a wider market secures a greater demand and a higher , price. In the meantime, the monopoly i of this enlarged market will be more - than ever protected by a wall of higher 1 tariffs, made higher by the concurrent ‘ operation, of a tremendous national debt \ and a narrower list of revenue paying i articles. Will the South be so insane as to snr render what little protection she now 1 j Las upon her own products and pay a higher price for what she buys ? Can not Southern men see that the North i gains everything, both in selling and < in buying ? < We wish somebody would show us ! one good sound reason why the South J should favor the purchase of this Isl- • and. j j , Phlndttphla anti Its Manufactures" , This is the title of a work by Edwin ( T. Frebdly, author of the “Legal Ad- i wiser' ’ and other valuable works, and ( published by Edward Young, Pliiladel- j phia. The motive, in part at least, that led to its preparation, seems to have been a desire to vindicate the claims of the Quaker City to her legitimate rank 1 among the great manufacturing ai.d commercial cities of the Union and of the world. It appears to be a faithful exhibit of her mechanical products in the development, variety and compara tive value; aud to those disposed to question her claims, her confident res ponse is, come and see. The work is divided into four parts: Part I.—ls an essay on the causes of (eminence in manufactures. Part IL — Shows that Philadelphia pos sesses the necessary advantages to cu sure such success. Part lll.—Gives the present develop ment of manufactures in Philadelphia; and Part IV.—ls an index or list of valua k We manufactures in Philadelphia, with 9 the names of those from whom they can be purchased. This book, we judge, is a valuable hand-book to the various trades and professions, and can be consulted to ad vantage by all who purchase or con sur a, to any considerable extent, any of the various articles of manufacture from a “ German flute to a penny whis tle.” Considering the nature of the subject, we regard it as a success; it demonstrates the fact that under the hand of skillful industry a readable if net an interesting hook can be written upon any subject. We commend it to the perusal of all interested. Messrs. Campbell, Munerlyn and Lawson, members of tbe Democratic Executive Committee, have issued a card, suggesting the third Wednesday in June next as a proper time for hold- j ing the Gubernatorial Convention, and ! < Jfilledgevilie as the place. ’ Supreme Court Decisions. Newspapers in order to have the la test intelligence, we suppose, catch up the skelton reports of the decisions of the Supreme Court, and send them forth to their readers as news, of whom, probably, not one in ten, can decipher the meaning any better than thoy could read the hieroglyphics on an Egyptian Temple. It is well enough to have a Court of Errors, a Clerk and a Reporter - but until our people are more gener ally acquainted with the technicalities of the Law Books, it is useless to pub lish the decisions, as they now find their way into the newspapers. No one reader in twenty, can understand them. By-the-bye, wouldn’t it be a good idea for the legislature to appoint some fit and proper person to report the decis ions of tiie Supreme Court in plain Eng lish ? (If it can be done) — Federal Union. What is the use of reporting them at all ? In many of its decisions there is neither plain English nor common sense, nor common law, nor common justice- There is no permanancy in its decisions, nor uniformity in its opinions. It lias ’ not diminished litigation ; its only re sult has been to enable robbers and murderers to escape justice. As at present constituted it is a magnificent and cost ly sham. If it cannot be reformed let it be abolished. firrThe Washington Slates thus dis courses of Mr. Buchanan and his ad ministration, Mr. Cobb being the finan cial man of the concern. He found a redundant treasury—he squandered the surplus, and is now cla . morous for an increase of taxation sup ply an unaccountable deficiency. The necessities of the government demand economy of expenditure ; the estimates 1 are hard upon a hundred million. The ( people were induced to anticipate a re turn to the simplicity and purity of earlier days ; never did corruption ex -1 hibit such rank luxuriance of growth in every department of the public service. I They were promised reform—they have e an aggravation of abuse. They expec „ ted retrenchment—they are insulted by proposals for the most absurd and mis e chievous appropriations. Millions have ’* lioen expended for the suppression of y Mormonism, and the abomination flour i_ ishes with undiminisned vigor and a II more audacious ambition. Much pro fession of fidelity to State rights was indulged by the Administration, and its “ pledges are redemed by the protective >f tariffs and Pacific railroads. , g “The country was instructed to re ,m joice over the renunciation of the right of search by Great Britian, and in the ' midst of tbe triumph, American ships - are boarded in American waters, and ?! subjected to every species of indignity, i The President declared a resolution to insist upon the repeal of the Clayton* Bulwer treaty ; he now demands its per petuation, and in aggravation of its evil agency, has negotiated a conven tion which admits England to an equal ity of privilege and power in Central America. As the ‘embodiment’ of the Cincinnati platform, he stands commit ted before the wcrld, to maintain the ascendency of the United States in the 1 Mexican Gulf, and to assert an exclu sive protectorate over the Isthmian ! transits. He fulfils the obligation by abandoning both Mexico and the Isth mus to the unchecked control of Euro pean arms and diplomacy. The Stupidly Dignified.— The editor of the Cleveland Plaindealer is not fond i of dignified people, “as the term is gen- ■ erally Jiceepted.” The biggest pudding i head he ever knew wore gold spectacles i and was dignified, never lowbred, and 1 said jokes were low. “This dignity,’’ i quoth the editor, “is a queer thing. It swells one-horse lawyers, like uncooked dried apples, and breaks out on them in < the shape of frizzled up hair, peaoock- t ish strutsaud inked finger nails. Judges r sometimes have it. They deliver the * flattest of truisms in the gravest of ' tones, and sit as though they were s spiked to their benches. Editors are t sometimes dignified. We know of some r that are exclusively for our church they walk soberly and cautiously iu the same old beaten path, and use the same old threadbare expressions from day to day, from year to year. If a man lies, they say ‘be is laboring under a wrong v impression.’ They never know or state 0 anything positively—they ‘ opine. ’ — ” The glorious sunshineof fun enterethnot I into their souls. They seem to regard a * newspaper as they would a coffin—a ] very grave matter; aud so move slowly 1 and lugubriously forward, treading j gently on the decayed eggs of humbug, 1 folly and rascality, ignoring the bright 1 side of life, but always printing ‘digni- ’ tied papers.’ ” The following extract from the Wash- f ington correspondent of the Cincinnati 1 Gasettte, in reference to the Govern- I ment contract for paiut, re'veals an in- i genious invention for swindling pur poses, which is worthy of universal De mocratic acceptance: W. D. Kennedy, one of the Tammany Sachems, has secured his contract for some time past. It seems that in put -1 ting iu his bids, he would offer large quantities of certain articles at ridicu lously low prices, and much less indeed ; than they could possibly be purchased f for. In this way, he was enabled to put it in steep in many other articles, and yet have the aggregate for the aver ' age lower than that of any other bid der, aud secure the contract. The thing upon the face, of course, looks very . fairly, but on examination, we find that . of the article offered at nominal prices, ’ the master painter never wanted a pound, while of those put in at high • rates, government was sure to need a i heavy supply. Os course, this is all to . be attributed to Kennedy’s luck, and not a bit. of it to collusion between himself and the painter ; but one way ! or another Uncle Sam, between the two, 1 has been victimized most gracelessly. A system quite as bold has been pur sued in coal, timber and machinery contracts, in relation to which only a part of the evidence is yet out. Henry Ward Bekciier Challenged , Rev James C. Richmond, of Milwaukee, t an Episcopal minister, who says that in 1 1807 he challenged the world in support lofI of Episcopacy, which challenge has f! never been accepted, now renews the i challenge to Henry Ward Beecher, and , invites a public debate. He concludes ! his address to Mr. Beecher, as follows : “ Finally, such is my faith in the | power of Truth, that I am willing to oppose my weakness to your strength, to travel one thousand miles and pay my own expenses, to meet you after Easter, amidst the comforts of your own home, and the helps of vour own library, in an oral debate, in your , own meeting house, in Brooklyn or j anywhere, and show that your Congre- \ gational aud Presbyterian systems are in a state of schism, and therefore of sin. against the Apostolic Church, or the One Body’ of our Loid Jesus Christ.” —T* " T * ♦ ■ Washington Gfisslp The corresjtondent of the New York Timet writes from Washington, the 17th inst.: President Buchanan has not been in vited to attend the complimentary ball, to be given to-morrow night to Lord Napier. It appears that some time since he ill-naturedly declared that he would have nothing to do with it, be cause Governor Seward was so promi nent In the affair. With irresistible determination to make himself especi ally ridiculous, he declared that he would have nothing to do with any thing in which the estimable Senator r from New York was conspicuous. How clearly the Buchanan character sticks out: here. The only way to get into his l good graces is by abusing him. Mr. Be-I 1 ward, in all his speeches, has treated the ! President like a gentleman, using the most courteous language, and uttering his severest truths iu the phrase least calculated to offend. The result is jnst such exhibitions of petty spite as that above noted. Look at the other side of the picture. Do you remember the* characteristic let ter of the Hou. L. M. Keitt, of South Carolina, written from the White Sul phur Springs, iu which he referred to the President as a “weak, paralytic old man,” or words to that effect? Keitt evidently struck a “lead,” and when he came to Washington, old Buck was after him straight, of course merely to show him that he was not half so para . lytic, not- near as old, as Mr. K. sup . posed him ; and from that time there . was no courtesy or mark of kind appre . ciation that the President failed to lav | ish upon the man who had so justly . lashed him. So, too, the first man that , openly and deliciously scored President . Buchanan, in the United States Senate, f was the amiable and able Senator Hale, . of New Hampshire. Prior to that time j Mr. Buchanan never thought of ex .. tending any courtesy or civility to the e so prominent "Black Republican but .. flaying his moral cuticle bad its usual y remarkably softening influence upon the President’s heart, and this winter f. the Senator’s legs have actually been f invited under the President’s mahoga . ny, upon an occasion when Mr. Buchan* j an trented him with most marked con sideration and attention. At least, so , lam informed. I have heard it whls- 1 ; pered that the editor of the Times will . be sent for soon, and corijpelled to ac cept some of the excessive civilities re served only for those who succeed in lashing our venerable President in good humor. Specimens of Congressional Itetrencli ment. The House has passed the bill increas ing the postage, aliolishing the frank > ing privilege, and helping themselves to a bundled dollars worth of stamps each. This, under the new rates, would allow each member nearly half a dozen stamps a day, supposing he sent letters every day of the year, whilst the peo ple are compelled to pay more postage than before. Nor do these imrnacu- I lates, who get $3,000 it year, despise the 1 day of small things. All is fish that comes to their net. Thus the Clerk of the House has provided them with one ! hundred and thirty hair brushes and ! combs out of the public funds, which i they need badly enough no doubt, but ought to pay for themselves. The Senate, not to be behind the House in economy, lias cut off the pal try $5,000 brevet pay from the war ■ worn veteran, Gen. Scott. There are J also propositions to cut down the work men at various public establishments, I but none to interfere with their o«n pay, except to increase it. Night Cads.—A divorce case is now j on the legal tapis in Cincinnati between 1 two parties, both of whom are young, * and married but three years, whose dis agreement arises out of a night cap, | which the wife insisted upon wearing in , spite of her husliaud’s wishes, peti- < tions, tears, threats, oaths, and com- i J mands. i ,\ Spiritualist on Spiritualism. E I most solemnly affirm that 1 do not L, bepeve that there lias, during the past , 500 years, arisen any class of people L who were guilty of so great a variety v of crimes and indecencies as the Spirit- H ualists of America. For a long time, a I was swallowed up in its whirlpool of |‘ excitcmout, and, comparatively, paid j but little attention to its evils, believ- i ing that much good might result from . the opening of the avenue of spiritual intercourse ; but, during the past eight months, I have devoted my attention to a critical investigation of its moral, social and religious bearing, and I stand , appalled before the revelations of its . awful and damning realities, and would flee from its influence as I would from the miasma, which would destroy both i soul and body. Spiritualism and pros- 1 titution, with a rejection of Christiani ty, are twin sisters, which everywhere go hand in hand. With but little in quiry, I have been able to count up over seventy mediums, most of whom have wholly abandoned their conjugal rela tions, others living with their para mours, called “affinities,” others in promiscuous adultery, and still others exchanged partners. Old men and wo men, who have passed the meridian of life, are not uufrequently the victims of this hallucination. Many of the mediums lose all sense of moral obliga tions, and yield, for the time, to what ever influence may be brought upon them, lheir pledges, their integrity, or their oaths, are no more reliable than the shifting breezes of the whirl wind, for they are made to yield to the pawers which for the tiino control them. Dr. D. F. Halch. Catholicism in the United States.— j The Metropolitan Catholic Almanac, for 1859, states that in 1808 there were in the United States 2 bishops, 64 priests, i and 80 churches, i. e., church edifices. Ten years latter there were 10 bishops, j 232 priests, and 230 churches. At the ! close of the next decade there were 17 ; bishops, 432 priests, 907 churches. At the present time there are 45 bishops, 2.108 priests, and 2,324 churches. The compilers of the Almanac refrain from estimating the Catholic population of the United States, on account of the “intrinsic difficulties” which the subject presents; but au estimate of 800 mem tiers to each church would give 1,867,200 as thaCatholic population of the Uni ted States. » A man Darned John Berrv has just re turned from Van Dieman’s Land, whith-1 er he was banished in 1837, for his con-, nection with the Canadian “patriots.” i He was forty-four when he was banish- j ed, and is now sixty-four—a sad chasm ia life. He was lieutenant, and joined 1 the ‘ ■patriots” at Oswego. BY TELEGKAPH .• Charleston Market. Charleston, 12 1-2 o’clock, Feb. 23. Tlit re is an improved demand Prices are unchanged.
