Spain and Cuba—Probabilities of the
Future.
Recent visitors to Cuba represent
that great 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 j
case is different, ror the chaotic con- I
dition or affairs in the interior and the
Carlist war in the mother country
have 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
Valmaseda, demanding the instant ie
mittance of •82,000,000. Valmaseda
telegraphed back that the Spanish
Bank at Havana would loan the money
if 20,000 fresh troops could be sent to
the island. Getting 82,000,000 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 ragamufflus shipped to
Havana this year have not numbered
2,000 men, all told.”
In addition to this, Cuba is taxed
812,000,000 per annum for “ war,”
“navy” and “State” purposes. Besides
this, Madrid exacts a direct tax of
87,350,000 yearly. In other words,
Spain leeches Cuba every year to the
tune of nearly, if not quite, 820,000,000.
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 olosely, that the total yearly
tax collected is not 820,000,000, but 833,
350,000, and of this enormous sum, 814,
000,000 are stolen by the Government
officers and their respective "rings.”
Os 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 soil
Culm, 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 iuferior 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 primarily is not likely, for the
haughty and impecunious Dons cordi
ally dotest 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 l e to wrench it away
from Great Britaiu? 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 iu
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
lization, deserted plantations, an un
friendly people and American carpet
baggers, the future of the Queen of the
Antilles is anythiug but promising.
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 Are 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
soothing salve to the simple con
science). How tender the conscience
of the ignorant black man, and yet
how easily imposed upon to do wrong 1
YVas 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.
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 mnch 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
jto the grave. We read in the Western
press that within 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. 187'>, enter into a business part
nership, under the name of Miller and
Strickland, on the following conditions, to
wit: That ail earnings and 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, oui 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 wo 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.
resigned] Randolph Strickland.
Mary E. Strickland.
We think the sympathy of the com
munity should be tendered to “poor,
deluded, misguided and insane” paronts
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 Christian
churches. Curses, like chickens, come
home to roost. There is but one end
of the “isms” of the day, and
that is free-love. 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.
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-
do anything, as a railway
brakemau, the young gentleman served
faithfully for three days, and then call
ing on Judge Shipman, exclaimed:
‘J udge, I have decided that I have too
much intellect to serve longer as a mere
brakeman, and wish you would And 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 Herald
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
him 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.
Extinguishing a Lecturer*~Binding
on a Boss. y
A Washington correspondent tells
the following story about Boss Shep
herd :
You remember that it was announced,
not long ago, that Boss Shepherd would
read a paper on “Sewers ana 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. <'. 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 i a 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 seqf 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 has not escaped the
common lot of mortals who mix money
and politics. That Shepherd and his
ring have, made 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 cabaf*accom
plished their purpose by the use of
other people’s money and very con
siderably to their own individual bene
fit. Tbe 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 in the
allegations of his enemies, he not infre
quently beats a discreet retreat just as
Boss Sheppebd seems to have done in
the matter of “Sewers.”
The Union Pacific and the Texas Pacflc
Railways.
The suit gained, in the Supreme
Court of the United States, by the
Union Pacific Railroad Company
againßt the Government, is a significant
one. The company contended that the
Government could not withhold one
half of its earnings on account of Fed
eral transportation, which it was
claimed should be paid on account of
interest on bonds guaranteed by the
Government aforesaid. The plea set
up by the Government of ignorance or
misconception has been overthrown,
and the people, either betrayed or de
ceived by tiieir representatives, will
now be forced to stick to a bad bargain
and pay the piper. For many years to
come the United States are now bound
to pay interest on the Paclflo bonds,
and also one half the charges of Gov
ernment transportation. It is figured
out by the Chicago Tribune, that at
the end of the thirty years, th% gov
ernment will probably have paid out in
principal and interest the total value
of the property, and will have nothing
but a second mortgage to show for its
expenditure, leaving the undesirable
alternative of making a dead loss of
all that has been paid out or paying off
a first mortgage in order to acquire a
property not worth its own claim.
With this decision and its results be
fore them, immense will be the hardi
hood of a Democratic House of Repre
sentatives if the membors thereof in
considerately rush through the Texas
and Pacific scheme. We should like to
see a Southern road built, without peiil
either to the Government or the peo
ple, but if the favoring of such a pros
pect bids fair to demolish the hopes of
the Democratic party in 1876, it had
better be let severely alone. For the
past ten years, just when viotory
seemed most promising, the Democrat
ic party has, by some rash act, to use
a common but vigorous expression,
“ thrown the fat into the fire.” From
present appearances, this Southern
ern Pacific Railway job, under ex
isting auspices, is full of peril to the
best hopes of the Democracy.
Babcock.— The telegrams addressed
by Geu. Babcock to tbe pestiferous
leaders of the whiskey ring are very
damaging. He should bo accommo
dated with an iuvestigation. To a man
up a tree, it looks like Grant has been
deceived iu Babcock just as he was be
trayed by Williams. We believe that
the President lias been entirely guilt
less of complicity in these frauds, but
he has kept bad company, and if not
careful, will suffer from an overplus of
such companionship. It is highly prob
able, however, that just as he tena
ciously clings to a supposed friend, so,
when deceived by an intimate, he will
not, when convinced of perfidy, prevent
the falling of the axe of justice.
The Scramble. —The struggle for the
Speakership of the House of Repre
sentatives is tremendous, but the
scramble for the minor offices will be a
spectacle for gods and men. The
Democracy have been out of power for
some years, and are therefore hungry.
There will be some of the loudest
squealing over the swill tub ever heard
since the days of innocence.
Lorne. —The London World declares
that the Marquis of Lorne’s poem is
“shockingly bad stuff.” It is always a
bad sign when a married man relapses
into poetry. We fear the unhappy
Marquis has found matrimony anything
but a bed of roses, especially as he
happened to secure a persimmon too
high for his rank and too green for his
enjoyment.
A Demon Satisfied with. His 'Work—A

should- is—the
deadly work under
extending to the left ear, eatiDg its way
until almost every muscle had been
cut. Under her left shoulder blade
another wound three inches in width
appeared-where the knife had first
entered—dividing the third rib and the
second rib, penetrating the left luDg,
and thus, after passing through her
body, came out in her left breast just
below the nipple. In her left groin an
other gaping wound was found, from
which the smaller intestines protruded,
having been cut iu numerous places,
seemingly as if the murderer had turn
ed his knife around to make his work
more complete. In addition to these,
eleven wounds were found—in her
arms, hands, legs, feet, no portion of
her being free from some evidence of
the jealous demon which Inspired
Morris to consummate his vengeance.
Caught with the instrument of death
in his possession, and horribly bedab
bled with the blood of his victim, this
fiend, addressing the policeman, said :
“I am not sorry for what I have done.
I have made my peace with God, and
am willing to die.”
How he had “ made his peace with
God,” while reeking with the evidences
of his monstrous crime and rejoiciug
over it, passes the understanding of
civilized man. It may be the Ethio
pian, as it certaiuly is the Cannibal,
creed to thus glory in slaughter; but
the God he propitiated must have been
some Dahoman deity, the mysteries of
whose infinity can only be explained
by a Liberian theological student and
Mr. Henry Stanley, who half-converts
African Kings with a patented rifle
and plenty of fixed ammunition. In
case of this abominable wretch’s end
on the gallows, surrounded by minis
ters and in the midst of psalm singing,
we may confidently look for a repeti
tion of the assertion that, having
served the god Moloch, he is ripe and
ready, without intermediate purifica
tion, to join the angels and the saints
in a Christian paradise.
Joe Holt. —The Judge Advocate
General who retired, the other day,
was one of the judicial assassins of
Mrs. Surratt. He and Andrew John
son had a controversy on that subject,
full of crimination and recrimination,
but it suddenly dropped, principally
we suppose because it was a tender
theme for both of them. The World
bids him adieu, thus: “Among the
political renegades of JIBGI he was not
as reckless as Butler, or as able as
Stanton, but he was more malignant
than the one and baser than the other.
For years past he has skulked out of
the sight of men, in a cloud of his own
making, shunned and avoided even by
such as are left living about him of the
meu who used him in their day of
power to ensnare and torture their
fellows. He retires now that he may
avoid ejection by a House of Represen
tatives which will really represent the
American people. But it will be the
duty of the House of Representatives
to see to it that he carries with him
into his retirement nothing but the
livery of shame which he has woven
and shaped and fitted to himself for
ever.”
Liberia. —England and the United
States may galvanize the existence of
Liberia for a few years longer, but
the experiment has proved a dead fail
ure, so far as converting and civiliz
ing the trouserless natives are con

bug is rapidly tending to a disgrace

grown de
generate? We think not. It was the
purpose of our recent discourses to
prove that both sexes were to blame,
and perhaps the women more than
the men, for it is the women after all
who rule society. •
Mrs. Jonze Insists that the women
are better than the men, and the mod
ern girl takes great risks when she mar
ries one of them. God knows we
admitted that distinctly; and it was
further conceded that when the nup
tials were girdled about with prudence,
industry’, thrift and virtue the chances
of happiness were considerable. If a
young lady, who has the qualities ne
cessary to make a good man blissful, is
not the recipient of attention which
ends in a union for life, then indeed
there is an accursed spite somewhere
in a world completely out of joint.
The French are usually the best of
husbands and the best of wives. The
woman goes upon the principle that
a man must be well fed, and judicious
ly flattered; a convenient blindness to
some of his minor faults is scrupulous
ly observed, and evrry effort made to
constitute his home-life so attractive
that the disposition to seek abroad
what he craves in his own castle, and
j does not get, is utterly without excuse,
j Do our American women have the
same tact? We believe that any decent
I man would more than reciprocate such
delicate attentions, which cost so little,
and yet are so fruitful of peace and
contentment.
Mrs. Jonze finds fault with the
figures of Mr. Albert Rhodes and his
friend. According to her ideas, too
much money is spent upon mere crea
true comforts. True*Aough; but Mr.
Rhodes alluded to high-toned New
York bachelors, and we wore careful to
| point out that our Augusta young men
should reduce their figures in propor
tion to their leaner incomes.
Mrs. Jonze says she is “not afraid of
us.” Heaven knows she has no cause.
We are of the meekest of mankind and
our whole existence has been moulded
by female influence. Even if wo had
the prowess of William Tell, we
should bow to the bonnet of Gesler’s
wife, even though our stiff neck
refused obeisance to her husband’s cap.
To us a “ perfect woman nobly plan
ned” is the most glorious creation of
the Deity, and it is only when we see
this angel droop her pinions and prefer
the merely material things of the earth
to the higher and elevating atmos
pheres, that we make moan. Is it not
the fault of modern society that the
female population put too much stress
upon superficial matters and “quench
the spirit?” How many excellent
women are there who, even when they
have mairied for love and met with
tribulations,constantly exclaim: “ Woe
is me that I married a pauper! What
did my parents mean by allowing such
a thing ? You may say what you please
about love, but money is the thing after
j all 1” Alas! there are too many women
! who express sueli sentiments, just at
j the very time when an unfortunate
| husband most needs their pity and en-
I dearing consolations. That there are
j other women who shine all the more
gloriously when the hand of poverty is
J laid upon the husband’s brow, we
do mest sincerely believe. If it were
not so, society would perish. God bless
the women who prevent such a catas
trophe !
Mrs. Jonze says she and heirold man
get along very well. We have not
heard from Jonze himself, but accept
the evidence, one-sided as it is. Nay,
we do not question it for a moment.
As Jonze is no doubt a sensible man,
he never puts himself in the way of
getting a Caudle lecture, such as his
formidable spouse could administer, if
she had a mind to. It is incredible that
a woman who is not afraid of an editor
should be intimidated by an ami
able and thoroughly subjugated man i
like Jonze.
The most terrible retort we ever
heard on this subject ran thus: A hus-!
band, provoked with his wife about
something, growled out that “all wo
men, in his opinion, were fools.” His |
wife, nothing daunted, replied: “If all
women are fools, what monstrous idi- j
ots the men are for running after them.” j
That was a settlement of the contro
versy. It served the male monster
right, for we do most solemnly believe I
that there are just as many sensible
women as men; more who are really
pious; and that to them greatly belongs
the destiny of nations. Therefore it is
most important that they should be
well brought up and married with a
due regard to the “eternal fitness of
things.”
As to Mrs. Jonze’s hint concerning
“City Mothers” as well as City Fathers,
we must refer her to Lord Bacon’S re
marks concerning female government.
He says: “Put the case of a land of
Amazons, where the whole government,
public and private, is in the hands of
women; is not such a preposterous
government against the first order of
nature, for women to rule over men,
and in itself void?”
No: let the women be content to
“boss” their husbands, as they all do,
more or less, within the domestic cir
cle. When they try to run city coun
cils, bad as their estate may seem to
be now, it would grow unutterably
worse. The chief desire of a mar
ried woman is to rule her so-called
lord and master. It is true that she
will be satisfied largely with the
shadow of authority and the symbols,
leaving him the substance. But woe
to the man who yields her neither the
one nor the other! If he does not end
by surrendering both, he is lucky be
yond his fellows. If his conquest
is productive of peace and quiet,
Babnum could make another fortune
by exhibiting him ; and, had he lived
in the days of Xerxes, he would, with
out competition have claimed the
reward that monarch offered- for a
new pleasure or sensation.
But the error Mrs. Jonze falls into is
supposing that we are opposed to
matrimony per se. Not so. We ap
prove it highly. It is a sacred and
necessary institution. When properly
entered into, it is a holy and wholesome
event. The aim of our articles was
simply to demonstrate that there had
been much demoralization on this sub
ject, caused primarily by defects in
modern society, and that between an
imprudent union and upright bachelor
hood, the latter state was infinitely
preferable. We agree with Addison
1 that “a happy marriage has in it all
the pleasures of friendship, all the
enjoyments of sense and reason, and
iudeed all the sweets of life.” Reverse
these, and you have the unhappy mar
riage. Alas! is not the reverse of the
picture drawn by Addison only too
common, and does not its unfortunate
frequency spring from the folly of
youth, of both sexes, who marry in
haste to repent at leisure, and who are
so constituted or reared that they do
not comprehend the tremendous im
portance of their acts ? It is to prevent
an increase of misery that we have
written boldly and frankly. If our
effort is a vain one, as is most likely,
the consolation remains that when
Solomon declared the number of fools
to be infinite, a feeble writer like unto
us has not only a wretched chance for
reforming the world, but a very meagre
margin to go upon.
Colton says “marriage is a feast
where the grace is sometimes better
than the diuner,” and John Foster, ia
his journal, writes that “many an
enamoured pair have courted in poetry,
j and after marriage lived in prose.” Dr.
i Johnson contends that “marriage is
: the best state for man in general;
and every man is a worse man in
proportion as he is unfit for the mar
| ried state.” Montaigne growls : “Might
! I have had my own will, I would not
: h*.ve married wisdom herself, if she
; would have had me. But it is to much
I purpose to evade it; the common cus
j tom and usage of life will have it so.”
1 Swift says “the reason why so few
marriages are happy is because
young women spend their time
making nets, not in making cages.”
We leave the ‘ last word to a
noble woman, Fredemka Bremer, who
speaks thus: “Many a marriage has
j commenced like the morning, red, but
perished like a'mushroom. Wherefore?
Because the married pair neglected to
be as agreeable to each other after
their union as they were before it.
Seek always to please each other, my
children, but in doing so, keep heaven
in mind. Lavish not your love to-day,
remembering that marriage has a mor
row and. again a morrow. Bethink ye,
daughters, what the word house-wife
expresses. The married woman is her
husband’s domestic trust. On her he
ought to be able to place his reliance
in house and family; to her he should
confide the key of his heart and the
lock of his store-room. His honor and
his home are under her protection; his
welfare in her hands. Ponder this,
ind you, my sons, be true men of
honor and good fathers of your fami
lies. Act in such wise that your wives
respect and love you. And what more
shall I say to you, my children? Pe
ruse diligently the Word of God; that
will guide you out of storm and dead
calm, and bring you safe into port.
And as for the rest—do your best!”
A marriage based upon the above
principles will be a happy one; but how
many are so based? Alas! alas!
Noses are fashionable, and have
always been followed.
