WAR WITH SPAIN' The question of whether or not the tfireaU eninff relative positions new occupied by the United Slates and Spain will finally re* aalt in war between tb«*e two patioae, seems to be oie of engrossing interest in this country. On the all important sub* ject, Brick Pomeroy recklessly lets drive as follows. “Nothing is surprising a<>w»a- days; and if it was announced by te-morrow r s tele grams that the Uuit«d r States had declared war against Spain, it would astonish no body. ft hy not have -a war with Spain as well as a war with Brigham Young., and against .. *g y^pihliiHfc^flcAtauat^ ns the Ko-Klux? War made Grant President once, and unless some ooe trips him up, a war with Spain would help him to a second term of office. A war with Spain would be cheap if iu return the country could secure a continuation of the rule of the wisest statesman, the greatest soldier, the roost dignified gentleman, the fondest relation, and best Judge of tan terriers iu existence. Spain in former days supplied the rob bers ofthe seas with plunder. Wherever a Spanish flag was seeu at a masthead, it was a sure thing that South America and Mexican doubloons by the banoi full were in the bold; and the buccaneers had an ea sy way of gaining a livelihood. History in part repeating itself, after the lapse of a couple or so of centuries, may bring back to the buccaneer* of the modern era, the glorious times when King Ferdinand’s galleons wcie a sure thing to the brisk rovers of tho sea. From many a coral reef in the Western isles, from many a snug harbor of the Spanish main, issued the sailing bandit, to grasp the treasures of the Kings of Spain. A war with that country would revive in all its glory the gang-plank and its tragedies, and tho fes tal robberies that decked with glory and with gore the black flag of the pirates of the olden golden times. What a host of robbers iu the shape of contract ors would start, like box Jacks, from their dens! What a host of hat-wakera for the army would be felt throaghtall the arteiics of shoddy! and honest Tom Murphy, welcoming grim-v'n-aged war, would spread a rim around ihe World, and put a climax, in the shape of a rotten cast or, upon ev ery valiant sailor erfEsted for grog and prize money in the mighry tnghoatß of our navy Ben Butler too would no longer pine inactive in his beloved two residences in Massachusetts, but buck! itig on his famous New -Orleans under armor Would wave a thousand spoons and cry like the gentle daughters of the horseleech, ‘ More-’— Great Sickles, he of the many crimes and frequent escapes, would t}ap has wooden leg which nearly lost the fight at Gettysburg; and pawn, as be did in hippy days gone by, the silverware of his mis tress on the sly, with which to equip a regiment to run into a bank vault, and quicker run away from the foe He wou'd not care whether it was thu Bank of America or the Bank of Spain * While-glory and slight additions to perse nal in c&mes would reward the fiery leaders in such a war against the nation which gave us a Columbus, thefeutninon people, the good-for-nothing wretches of this falsely boasted land of liberty, mi-ht be ’’pwmittrgjl to furnish the a.teries of blood by . . wbigh .these heroes wold win their fame and funds besi<§s tuQ ebe ntuscfea and sinews ot war, known tn tb*. political-anatomical dictionaries by the feme"of tales.

If war with spatn can farther impoverish the country by welding to its taxes, and entirely cat off the wings of oor crippled * commerce, so be it,bet if it can make Graut President and give Butler another spoon, then without dtlay hasten up the army ana Hairy and shoody contracts, belligerant bounty'■jumpers,press-gangs, Sewards’ lit** ' tie bell and Stanton's dastiles.

Y, January 2.—On Satur day last a negro, twentyi»Hve years of age, decoyed a little girl named Ocho, ten years of age, into, the commons, just outside the city, and committed a terrible outrage upon her, striking her on the face with his fist. She wandered into the town of Bri ghton, having to co-s over on the ice ol the Canal river and feeder to do so. She sought refuge in a house, w en her condi tion was ascertained, and word sent to the Dobce. The girl gave such a description of the scoundrel as to enable the police to suspect who the rascal was and he was ibis morning at the bouse of a relative in Pemifield. He was brought to the city and taken before the girl, who indentified him. The people made an attempt to lyueh him, but police fought them off, using their rtVolvers in doing so. The girl is in a precarious Condition. The excitement over the affair is great, and threats are freely made against the life of the negro. gLater.—Tne excitement over the out-* rage committed upon the white girl, by the negro Howard, *is very great. This forenoon a mob of four or five hundred people went to the jail and attempted to break iu and kill the prisoner. They were foiled, however, by the. Sheriff and police.

Chicago is not likely to have its gift li brary “from modern British authors,” and no one will be sorry for it. Lecturing is at a very low ebb in Eng land. Only noblemen or very distinguish ed parties can draw an audience. It is surmised that Dickens, as a report • er, did his reporting on ‘Chicago—he has furnished so many stock quotations. Some of the iron column** on the Boston new post-office building are thirty-three feet high. A paper, in puffing a certain soap, says it is the “best ever made for a dirty man’s face* We have tried it, and therefore we ought to know.’ A policeman asked a drunken iEthiop whom he could scarcely see in the dim light of a cell, “Are you colored?” “Col ored, no; dis yer chile born so.” “Is civilization a failure?” asks the chief organ of the Democracy in Montano.
