Spain and Cuba—Probabilities of the
Future.
Recent visitors to Cuba represent
that gteat changes for the worse have
taken place in that island ever since
the insurgent war. When peace pre
vailed, such was the wealth of Cuba
that the impositions of Spain were met
with comparative ease; but now the
case is different, for the chaotic con
dition of affairs in the interior and the
Carlist war in the mother country
hare drained the merchants of Havana
and the planters of coffee and sugar of
their resources. One of the tricks of
Spain to procure money from her al
ready overburdened province is thus
narrated : “Shortly after the accession
of Alfonso, the ‘Army of the North’
was disaffected. It had to be bribed
into acquiescence. A telegram was
flashed from Madrid to Captain-General
Yalmaseda, demanding the instant re
mittance of 52,000,000. Yalmaseda
telegraphed back that the Spanish
Bank at Havana would loan the money
if 20,000 fresh troops could be sent to
the island. Getting 52,000,000 for a
promise was cheap enough. The
promise was sent; so was the money ;
so was not the troops. The two or
three battalions of Carlist deserters
and Madrid ragamuffins shipped to
Havana this year Lave not numbered
2,000 men, all told.”
In addition to this, Cuba is taxed
$12,000,000 per annum for “ war,”
“navy” and “State” purposes. Besides
this, Madrid exacts a direct tax of
$7,350,000 yearly. In other words,
Spain leeches Cuba every year to the
tune of nearly, if not quite, $20,000,000.
With her finances disordered, her com
merce crippled, her planting system
demoralized, and an internecine war
raging, not to speak of the constant
menace of seizure by the United States,
desperate indeed is the plight of Cuba.
But this is not the worst. We are
told by those who have examined the
matter closely, that the total yearly
tax collected is not $20,000,000, but $33,
350,000, and of this enormous sum, SU,
000,000 are stolen by the Government
fflcers and their respective “rings.”
Of course, a large part of this money
is used to bribe, silence and buy the
native Cubans, so that between Spanish
cupidity and Cuban treachery, the
once ever-faithful isle is torn, dis
tracted and now on the road to ruin.
It may very soon become a question
of serious import with Spain to sell
Cuba, just as the Khedive of Egypt
has sold the virtual control of the Suez
canal to England. When such a pro
position is bruited, and the day may
not be distant, the United States will
play no inferior part. We should not
wonder, any day, to hear that Spain
had offered the island to England, and
that it had been accepted for a price.
That she will offer it to the United
States primaiily is not likely, for the
haughty and impecunious Dons cordi
ally detest this country, and well they
may. In case of an English purchase
or protectorate, a political storm will
take place in the United States. But
what would they do about .it? If
it is no easy job to wrest
the island from Spain, how very diffi
cult would it Le to wrench it away
from Great Britain ? It would not only
be a hazardous achievement, so far as
a naval conflict is concerned, but what,
even in the event of success, would be
come meanwhile of those precious Na
tional bonds, the true inwardness of
which so seriously troubles the souls
and perplexes the minds of the so
called saviors of the National life ?
Again; supposing Cuba to be in
possession of the United States, by
purchase or war, what would she be
worth? The game of Reconstruction
would be played over there as it was
in the South ; and between free ne
groes, depraved hybrids, a rotten civi
lizaiion, deserted plantations, an un
friendly people and American carpet
baggers, the future of the Queen. of the
Antilles is anything but promising.
Extinguishing a Lecturer —Binding
on a Boss.
A Washington correspondent tells
the following story about Boss Shep
herd :
You remember that it wae announced,
not long ago. that Boss Shepherd would
read a paper on “Sewers and Sewer Con
nections," before the American Public
Health Association, at its then approach
ing National Convention in Baltimore.
Well, public expectation was on tiptoe (the
convention was held last week,) and the
Boss had his article prepared by, it Is as
serted, Dr. C. 15. Cox, of this city. On the
morning of the day that he was to read his
paper, however, some six or seven hundred
copies of a printed circular, giving a page
or two from his history, were distributed
over the hall in which the association held
its sessions. The circular was artfully con
structed in the form of a petition that the
association should investigate wooden
pavements from a sanitary point of view,
but the real object was to show up the
Boss in his true colors. It had the desired
effect, for being advised by telegraph of the
circumstance, Mr. Shepherd Sent his re
grets, and failed to put in an appearance.
It is the fate of public*men to be the
target of criticism, and even the great
Washington Boss ha* not escaped the
common lot of mortals who mix money
and politics. That Shepherd and his
ring the city of Washington
one of the grandest in the world must
be admitted. But it seems to be equally
patent that he and his cabal accom
plished their purpose by the use of
other people’s money and very con
siderably to their own individual bene
fit. The man of affairs who Is conscious
of rectitude will not fear the unjust as
persions of his opponents; but when
there is only too much truth iu the
allegations of his enemies, he not infre
quently beats a discreet retreat just as
Boss Shepperd seems to have done In
the matter of “Sewers.”
A Costly Baby.— A French physician,
M. Depoul, received a fee of $20,000 in
gold for safely delivering the Countess
D’Eu, daughter of Dom Pedro, Empe
ror of Brazil. Who would not be a
doctor at a liberal Court ?
Jurors. —Judge Hill, of the United
States District Court, of Mississippi,
eicUTes u jurors unable to read, write
gnd compute interest.
Woman’s Rights—What they Lead To.
In various parts of the country there
are Woman’s Rights Associations, and
these convocations are usually engi
neered and presided over by men, who
are half fools and half fanatics. Now
and then, an explosion takes place
which brings home to parents a practi
cal exemplification of the doctrines in
sisted upon with so much eloquence
and pertinacity. An ex-Congressman
named Randolph Strickland, of Michi
gan, was a prominent character of the
kind we have alluded to. He not only
took conspicuous positions at Woman’s
Rights meetings, but allowed his
daughter to prepare and deliver addres
ses on the hobby of his soul. The
upshot of the matter is that the young
lady has applied her father’s doctrines
to her own course of life, and bids fair
to drag his gray hairs down in sorrow
to the grave. We read in the W T estern
press that /ithin the past few days
many of the people of St. John’s,
Michigan, where her family live, have
received printed copies of what was
termed a contract —civil and conjugal
—entered into recently between Miss
Strickland and Leo Miller, a well
known Buffalo Spiritualist. This con
tract is a curiosity in its way and
begins as follows :
The undersigned, this 2d day of Novem
ber, A. D. 1875, enter into a business part
nership, under the name of Miller and
Strickland, on the following conditions, to
wit: That all earnings ana profits arising
from our individual and joint labors,
whether in a department of literature, art,
mechanism, agriculture or trade, shall be
shared and held equally.
This is innocent enough on the sur
face, but, after declaring love to be the
only binding law, it proceeds to state
that “should this union be blessed by
offspring, we jointly and severally
pledge ourselves, out assignors and
administrators, to foster and support
them during the dependent years of
infancy and youth, supplying their
physical wants and rearing them in the
principles of virtue and knowledge, to
the best of our ability and judgment.”
In conclusion, the precious document
declares that the signers “repudiate
the laws and customs which men as
sume to make, and the control of an
affection between the sexes, which we
believe is, and of divine right ought to
be, free.”
The publication of this extraordi
nary pronunciamento fell like a bolt of
ice upon the hearts of Miss Strickland’s
parents, and they immediately began
to weep for the public, and wipe their
eyes on the press, thus :
We ask the sympathy of our friends in
our sorrow for the course pursued by our
poor, deluded, misguided and insane daugh
ter, and we extend our thanks to the kind
friends that have labored with us during
the last year to save her. We bow our
heads in grief.
[Signed] Randolph Strickland.
Mary E. Strickland.
We think the sympathy of the com
munity should be tendered to “poor,
deluded, misguided and Insane” parents
who bring up their children in de
fiance of the restraints wisely imposed
by society, and arrogate to themselves
a line of conduct which demolishes the
barriers established by the Cbristian
churches. Curses, like chickens, come
home to roost. There is but one end
of the “isms” of tbo day, and
that is free-iove. If fathers and
mothers desire their sons to be
honorable and their daughter’s chaste,
they should not only instruct them
properly, but by precept and example,
teach them that the path of duty is
the path of safety. Any other course
is certain to end in disaster. The
way of the transgressor may be appa
rently prosperous, for the moment, but
he or she is inevitably tripped up in
the end. Sinners against society im
agine that their craft conceals them;
but, on the contrary, a thousand pry
ing eyes behold their secret machina
tions, and a sudden and unexpected
explosion ends their game with igno
miny, and often with a disgraceful
death, the dreadful memory of which
pursues their offspring to the third and
fourth generation.
South Carolina. —The Greenville
News says : “At the opening of every
session, it seems to be considered
necessary to get up and let off a little
artificial reform-thunder, (with never a
spark of electric fire in it) to quiet the
apprehensions of the people (a sop to
Cerberus) and to bolster the courage
of the weak-kneed of the party, (a
soothiDg salve to the simple con
science). How tender the conscience
of the ignorant black man, and yet
how easily imposed upon to do wrong !
Was ever such a chance for the im
postor, the political mountebank ?”
With a little of Chamberlain’s sooth
ing syrup thrown in, this is about the
chronic condition of South Carolina
politics. _
Shipman.— A good story Is told of
Judge Shipman by a correspondent of
the Springfield Republican : As receiver
for Duncan, Sherman & Cos., of New
York, he has had occasion to provide
for some clerks. Having found a place
for one of them, who professed a wil
lingness.to do anything, as a railway
brakeman.’Jhe youDg gen tleman served
faithfully for three days, and then call
ing on Judge Shipman, exclaimed:
‘Judge, I have decided that I have too
much intellect to serve longer as a mere
brakeman, and wish you would find me
some other position.’ In disgust the
Judge sharply retorted: ‘lf your intel
lect is so great, you had best employ It
to find yourself another place.”
A Model Missionary.— The Hei'ald
explorer, Mr. Stanley, asserts that a
trouserless king named Mtesa, dwell
ing at the supposed sources of the
Nile, was converted to Mohammedan
ism by the present of a revolving
rifle. Mr. Stanley thinks that a Chris
tian missionary could turn this black
potentate to Gospel ways by giving
b!m a sabre, a brace of pistols, fixed
ammunition, a good fowling piece, and
a rifle of excellent quality. The exact
value of such a convert is better im
agined than expressed, and we leave
the computation to Liberian theological
students.
The Supremo Court of Pennsylvania,
in a recent decision, announced that
the compensation of a trustee in Penn
sylvania. for the sale of real estate, is
generally two and one-half per cent.,
although the rate of compensation
cannot be fixed by an inflexible rule.
SOUTHERN METHODIST CHURCH’
North Georgia Conference Pro
ceedings,
[Correspondence of the Constitutionalist.]
Griffin, Ga., December 1. 1875.
The North Georgia Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South met
in Griffin this morning and began its
session promptly at 9 a. m.
Rev. Bishop John Christian Keener,
the presiding officer, opened the Con
ference with the usual religious ser
vices.
The roll call, as well as the large
numbers seated in the church where
the conference is held, shows a full at
tendance. The body consists of about
one hundred and fifty preachers and
fifty laymen. They are also many
visitors. Griffin is trying faithfully and
bountifully *o entertain the large as
sembly, but doubtless finds some diffi
culty in doing so.
The ministers of the Augusta Dis
trict are nearly all present. The lay
members from this district reported
present are Wm. C. Derry, of Augusta,
Elam Christian and Thomas F. Newell,
of Sparta.
Rev. John W. Heidt, the Secretary for
many years, was unanimously re-elect
ed. The following members were elect
ed his assistants: J. H. Baxter, Josiah
Lewis, Thomas Seals and W. P. Love
joy-
The Bishop made a brief address to
the conference. He mentioned the
gratifying prosperity which had at
tended the labors of the church every
where during the past year. Many had
been converted and added to the
church. During the past year many
new and some elegant church buildings
had been built. The magnificent gift
of $600,000, to found the Vanderbilt
University, calls for thankfulness to
God, who, in answer to the prayers of
his people, moved a man to make this
generous donation.
The country as such seems to be suf
fering from many causes of depression,
but this state of things is not neces
sarily hurtful to the church. He stated
further that the mission fields of the
Southern Methodist church had broad
ened and the liberality had increased.
Not only in China and among the In
dians but also in Mexico an 1 South
America missions have been estab
lished.
A committee to nominate members
of Standing Committees was appointed
consisting of the presiding elders, and
also a special Committee on Condition
of Church Buildings. Joseph S. Stewart,
of Atlanta was elected Assistant Trea
surer of the Board of Domestic Mis
sions.
Judge McCutchen, a lay delegate
from Dalton District, was appointed on
the Committee on Education.
The names of the superannuated
preachers were called, and tUelr char
acters passed. These are, Jesse W.
Carroll, Robert A. Conner, Henry Craw
ford, Andrew J. Deavors, John M.
Bright, James M. Armstrong, John P.
Duncan, M. Y. Hamby, Samuel J. Bel
lah, John B. C. Quillian, Morgan
Bellah.
These are old and worn-out preachers,
and their characters were closely ex
amined, and their circumstances in
quired iDto. R.
The Cadaver Business.
[lndianapolis Herald.l
A man employed to watch the medi
cal colleges in this city gives the fol
lowing account of one night’s experi
ence :
“ I kept up a brisk walk along the
west side of the building, knowing
that was the only possible way to
• crowd them in, although I occasionally
varied my beat by going round on the
other side of the block, passing both
stairways. In the early part of the
evening I met and passed a good rnauy
pedestrians—men of rough appear
ance —who went through the alley iu a
leisurely way, as if bent more on tilling
in time than anything else. As the
ghostly hour drew near 1 saw fewer of
these rough prowlers, and finally found
myself the sole wanderer in the alley.
A little before midnight a light-covered
buggy turned iu from the street.
I was quite near it, and by the
light of the street lamp I saw
it contained two men. The one
on the right of me w r as driving
and chatting volubly to his companion,
who in turn responded in a different
and somewhat coarser voice. Very
good friends they seemed to be, and
very civil, I thought. Of curse, they
could have no “subject” concealed in
that little buggy that was scarcely
large enough to hold themselves. They
stopped suddenly, the driver speaking
the word, “ whoa!” in an unusually
loud tone of voice. I was close behind
them, and saw a rope drop down from
the upper regions very unexpectedly to
me, but not to the soft voiced gentle
man on tbe right side of the buggy.
He caught the cod of it, and in an in
stant of time hooked it fast to his
friend on the left, and up he went,
while the chatty driver drove off alone.
Sure enough, the second man was an
uncommunicative “ stiff,” and I had
been a consummate fool not to think of
it sooner. He went up in less than five
seconds, and was snatched in at an
upper window in a twinkling. That
driver was a clever scoundrel, with con
siderable talent for ventriloquism.
