nearly SOO per head for the entire popu

Canada.— The statement thnrt the
British Admiralty are about to send to
Canadian waters “a force sufficient to
protect Cnaadmu fishermen and main
tain order” does not read much us if it
was really England's purpose to with
draw her fostering •care from the Demin

Canadian authorities, furnished for the
lied River expedition, among them be
ing picked artillery men from Wu»l

forthcoming on a similar requisition.—*
If, whenever they get into trouble, thi*
Canadians are to have British land and !
naval forces at their service, it is evident
the day is not yet come when En land

rectly to the point—moans business—
| The Comptroller General’s Re
port.
In another pl.ee we give the main
facts and fig ures coiitaised in this Re
jort f-r 1868. It tells its own story ;
and is but confii mution of even Uadi,
cu! prophesy —lk fore he had fat' offices
to distribute-that Hull ck would
“bankrupt the State in twelve months.”
With greater facilities for the transaction
of business, and increased patronage,
we find the State Koad, in the bands of
these Radical 'manipulators paying into
the State Treasury only a little more
than half the amount paid in former
days. The civil establishment cost for
last year $65,222 48*--niore than double
the cost of Hie previous year; the con
tingent fund nearly twenty thousand, to
eight th-',u*<and the preceding year* the
printing fund shows about the same in-,
crease; and in every department in the
hands of ih. se R tdical j ihawk rs shows
the same alarming tendency.
The people have borne f ht-so things
will) commendable patience, with the
hope that they would soon have an op
purtuniiy of turning these greedy Ri Is
from ttie public crib; hu it seem* that
Congress is determined np"n giving her
army of cat pet-bug Tablets a full bene
fit.
After the State Treasury has play
ed out completely, and old Butler has
been sent through up the
spoons and j>w dry, we think we may
reasonably hope to bid the whole carpet
bag fraternity—school inarms aud all—
u final, glorious farewell.
S-> there’s some palliation for the dis
grace of a bankrupt State after all.
Cuha.
Gen Jordan has returned-from Cuba
and'furnishes the pap as much iritpor .
taut news about the civil war in tin
country. He wont out just a year ngo,
and lias fi led successively the positions
of D*ptrtmout Commander, Chief of
staff for the Genetal commanding, and
General of all the-armies.
The Herald represent* him as being
in fine health, broo2ed and hardened by
his service,
lie has not left the cause, hut has
come on u mission t*» get money, sup
plies, clothing and arms for the insnr
gents. Not over 10,000 of the Cuban
troops are armed, while n hundred thou
sand übie.bodied soldi-rs could be nr
rayed against the Spaniards, if arms
could be objptned. The Cubans are
very destitute. The lad es need cloth
ing. particularly, and are tsuSeriug great
hardships.
The Spanish looimts of the late Cu
ban reverses he represents ass dse.—
The patriots are as resolved to succeed
as ever, and their hopes of triumph as
cheering. The Spanish troops largely
i>ntnumber the Cubans, but are inactive
and badly managed. The Cubans have
been incompetently lead, or they could
have achieved success before this.
The reports about the surrender of
Cespedes, the abdication of the Cuban
Congress, etc., aie all false, according
to Jordan. The negroes-fight well,
seive side bv side with the white men,
and make fine soldiers. The Cubans
have really freed their slaves and given
them equal rights and privileges.
There is plenty of meat, fruit and
vegetables, so that the danger of star
vation is u rento e one. The troops-get
no pay. The barbarities of the Span
birds have not been exaggerated.—
They conduct a warfare uncivilized and
atrocious.
The Cubans want to wi.s independ
ence and then be annexed to the Uuited
States.
