11IK CUBAN QUESTION.
Long before the agriculture of Cuba bad
contributed so largely to the commerce of the
world, Abbe Kaynal said: “The Island of
Cuba may be worth a kingdom to Spain;”
and the Spaniard has, duriDg centuries, es
teemed it as the brightest jewel in the nation
al crown. The sentiment that “Cuba shall
ever remain Spanish cr became African,”
expresses the intensity of tlieir natural at
tachment to the “Queen of the Antilles.” In
all the natural advantages which make ter
ritory valuable, it is scarcely surpassed by
any spot on the globe. Its soil is of admira
ble fertility—its scenery is rich and pictu
resque, and its geographical position supe
rior to any in the waters which wash this
continent. It is the key of the commerce of
the American Mediterranean. All this is
true. But the question is, what would its
acquisition, in the present state of affairs, be
worth to the United States? IVhat would be
the result of that acquisition ?
The genius of our Government will ,not
tolerate a colonial system. We have hereto
fore acquired territory, but it has been treat
ed as the territory of the original thirteen
States, formed into communities—States hav
ing all the rights of the original States. Our
political system is like the fabled Arab tent,
capable of indefinite expansion, but all who
are admitted under its shelter become mem
bers of the same household. If, therefore,
the affront lately offered to our flag by Spain
should be resented by the acquisition of Cuba,
it would be entitled to all the rights which
have heretofore been accorded to other terri
tories of the United States. It would have
the right to enjoy immediately the status of
a sovereign State, or of several sovereign
States. Its territorial area and population
would entitle it to claim this. Its area, in
cluding the Isle of Pines and the small it>
lands adjacent, is 36,013 square miles, and its
population about 1,500,000. Of this popula
tion, about 50 per cent, are slaves and 25 per
cent, free persons of color. Such is the char
acter of the country which it is
proposed that we should acquire by
war. It will be at once perceived
that its acquisition would work a great politi
cal and social revolution in the island. The
whole population would be invested with civil
and political rights. The African, recently
imported from his native wilds, would be
transformed into an American citizen, to ex
ercise all the rights offered to the haughty
Spaniard.
When it is considered that there is a very
large infusion of these savages into the negro
element of Cuba every year, aad that the de
scendants of that race born on the soil are of
the most degraded character, such a revolu
tion is fearful to contemplate. W T e of the
South have had some experience in negro
government. We have seen the ruin of proud
States accomplished by negro supremacy,
but we have seen nothing approaching the
rum that
-Xo carpet-baggers it would be a Paradise, but
n. verv hell to the native born Cuban. In most
of the Southern States, causes operated to
break, somewhat, their fall into the pit dug
for them. They had a large and respectable
white laboring population—great variety of
soil and products, and a negro population
raised in some degree by the genial influence
of white civilization. They had neighbors,
too, amongst whom existed some sympathy,
though it did not develops itself to any great
extent in material aid.
Cuba is situated from these
States, and her condition would be in
finitely worse than theirs. She would become
literally Africanized; the saying would bo
verified—“ She shall remain Spanish or be
come African”—a long dark night would set
tle upon her shores. It is estimated by a na
tive writer that Cuba has a capacity of over
seven million population. By the proposed
measure of conquest what a magnificent ter
ritory would be made a wilderness.
These are no wild imaginings—figments of
the brain. No State can prosper without an
intelligent and virtuous population to manage
its affairs. Cuba will not, can not have such
a population if the policy of emancipation
should follow its acquisition, which it surely
will, The proud Spaniard would emigrate,
and so would, in the end, all the better part
of the native whites. Neither Europeans or
Americans s would emigrate thither. There
would be no inducement for either capital or
labor to go there. That these are not mere
speculations the condition of the British
Antilles, which has arisen from the abolition
silvery clearly proves. We may read the
fite of free Cuba in the vain attempts of
Great Britain to introduce the social theories
o: modern philanthropy into her West India
possessions. Even under the fostering care
of the home government their inhabitants have
relapsed far towards a state of barbarism.
Desolation and ruin meet the eye on every
hand. Softness of atmosphere, fertility of
soil, all the generous gifts of nature have
proved insufficient to save these garden spots
of the earth from the blighting hand of de
cay. Do we—l mean the people of the Uni
ted States—want such a country, and that at
the cost of blood? Do we of the South want
such a Cuba as this to kick the beamjof political
power in the Union still lower, for us'to add
another name to the black roll of dishonored,
ruined, impoverished States? Are we willing
to pay this price for the proposed acquisition?
Let tho honor of our flag be protected, but
not at this sacrifice—not by the ruin of Cuba;
not by a victory to us, which, “like tho dead
sea fruit, will turn to ashes on our lips.”

Arkansas Legislature.— Tho vote of Ar
kansas is somewhat surprising, Nine Sena
tors and forty Representatives of tho Legisla
ture were chosen, All the white men were
permitted to vote for the first timo since the
reconstruction of tho State. Last year the
Radicals had forty-four on joint ballot. This
year the Democrats made nearly a clean
sweep. They elected seven Senators and
thirty members of the House. Now the Le
gislature stands—the old members included—
Radical majority of four in the Senate, and a
Democratic majority of twenty-six in the
House. On joint ballot the latter have a ma
j irity of twenty-two.
The Herald would merely remind the La-
Grange Reporter that its attempt at wit, sar

Atlanta’s Character at Stake.
To the Editous op the Hebald:
In consideration of the location of the seat
of government at Atlanta, our Mayor and
Council, with our unanimous approbation, in
1867, agreed to furnish a Statehouse and
mansion for ten years. Because Bullock &
Cos. put upon that contract a construction not
anticipated by US, it became Very Onerous,
Glad were we, therefore, in 1870, to change j
that contract by an offer to contribute $130,-
000 of our city bonds toward the purchase of
the Opera House by the State. We proposed
that; it was accepted, and the terms ot pur
chase were agreed upon. A heavy mortgage
upon the building was in the wav. To in
demnify the State against it, it was proposed
to deposit said bonds with the Governor, and
that was accepted.
Because the bonds could not be issued in
stantly, our then Mayor and Council ordered
tho Mayor to make a certificate ‘ ‘ that there is
due from said Mayor and Council to the Stale
of Georgia’ our bonds to the amount of $130,-
000.
That certificate was delivered to Governor
Bullock for said purpose with our full knowl
edge.
The certificate was payable to “the bolder"
thereof. By book or by crook it was gotten
from the executive office, and presented to our
Mayor without any indorsement or other
thing to show that the person presenting it
had possession of it lawfully; and, upon his
order, one hundred thousand dollars of said
bonds were delivered to Kimball. The thirty
thousand dollars balance wa3 never issued,
because, as is alleged, there was a private un
derstanding with Kimball, when we contracted
with him, that but one hundred thousand dol
lars should ever be issued. This fact was con
cealed from the Stale’s agenls in the purchase.
Kimball used the bonds, and left the mort
gage unpaid. It has been foreclosed, and un
less paid, will be levied upon the property.
It calls for about seventy-five thousand dol
lars.
The Attorney General has filed a bill
against the Mayor aud Council of Atlanta,
to compel the deposit ot the $30,000 never
issued, and of the SIOO,OOO paid to Kimball
without the authority to pay off said mort
gage lien.
Without pretending to accuracy the fore
going is substantially true. If Atlanta owes
this duty to the State, and it seems to us that
she does, should she wait the result of a suit?
Do we wish the Governor to call upon the
General Assembly for this seventy-five thou
sand dollars aud hsve it publish our short
comings ? We say nay. We say let us arrange
this matter at once and notify the State that
Atlanta needs no spur to compel it to proper
actiou. Our character is at stake. What
say our fellow citizens and our Mayor and j
Council ?
Many Citizens and Tax-Payees.
TUB CASK OF MILTOX MAI.ONK.
ll ‘“' 11 o’clock was closed the most
fearlul personal trageuj ,
uessed in many a year !
A man more thoroughly hardened and more
obdurate of soul has probably never come lo
the public notice than Milton Malone, who
yesterday went to his long sleep. That there
were good traits in his character is abundant
ly proved by the devotion with which his
friends clung to him, and the number of
champions that took up his cause. Yet so
thoroughly was he steeped in dissipation—so
reeking was his soul with sin—that it seemed,
towards the last days of his life, he was abso
lutely without any sense of repentance or any
possibility of softening.
With a bravado that, in its sternness,
amounted to positive heroism, he determined
from the day of his arrest that the curious
eye of the public should see in him no sign
of weakening, and that before he would go to
the gallows he would take his fife with his
own hand. Almost everybody thought that
at the decisive moment this sentiment would
forsake him, and that he would die in tears
and convulsions. It seemed to be impossible
that any human being could carry such auda
cions and unnatural sentiments through
months of long and wasting imprisonment,
up to the very grappling with Death itself.
Yet Malone did it. And his death, with its
terrible incidents, will give a study to the
world for years to come.

A Kamble Among; the Farmers.
A gentleman who has recently traveled
through DeKalb, Henry and Rockdale coun
ties, writes us, from which we make the fol
lowing extract:
We everywhere found farmers busy and in
dustriously engaged in their usual employ
ments at this season of the year. The cotton
crop is most generally all picked, and the
late advance in price induces many to sell at
least sufficient to supply their present needs
for winter use, while others, and I might say
most of them, are storing a few bales for the
future, and in hopes of a further advance.
As far as I could learn, all have come to the
determination to plant less cotton next year
than before, devoting more attention to those
crops which will secure to themselves aud
families bread and meat without resorting to
the merchants.
The time for sowing wheat, owing to the
protracted dry season, has been put off until
last week, when the work was commenced in
earnest. In many fields I noticed two or
more plows running, and I judge from ap
pearances that a much larger area of this very
important crop will he raised next season
than at any other period Bince tho war.
Many ot them intend devoting their atten
tion to clover and other grasses, for stock
purposes, and in this manner bring their old
“turned out" fields again into profitable requi
sition. This is a move in the right direction,
and, if generally adopted, the farming inter
ests of our State in the future, in point of pros
perity and independence, will compare favor
ably with tho best in the Union.
Everywhere farmers are full of nerve and
bright anticipation of “the good time com
ing.”

It is stated that Representative John B.
Hawley, of Illinois, has a scheme for free
banking which he proposes to press upon the
attention of Congress. The plan contem
plates the removal of all restrictions from tho
extension of tho national banking system, and
to limit the amount of national bank circula
tion only by the condition of adequate bonded
security. Under this scheme, the provisions
of the national banking act as regards re
demption would remain untouched, so that
however extended the national bank circula
tion, redemptions must always be made in gold
or legal tenders. It is claimed lor this feature
that it would tend to appreciate tho legal ten
ders to par with gold, while the general plan
would provide for the regulation of the vol
ume ot the currency solely by the Jaws of
supply and demand.

the fact that this same Jones had been captured
at Saint Quentin, on the Belgian border, and
that after his capture he had twice attempted
; to commit suicide. The last attempt was
considered by bis physicians as successful,
and the probability is that by this time Mr.
Jones is gathered to his fathers.

This from the Covington Enterprise of

mercy, and the defendant will, therefore, be
sentenced to-day to be hang. His guilt was
clearly established, and there can be no hope
for him, only “in the life to come.” The
jury in the case of Isham Kelly, np to this
writing, have not agreed, and the probability
is strong that a mistrial will be declared.

Last Thursday evening as the mail hack be
tween Rome aud Summerville was going
down Taylor’s ridge, a very steep aud bad
piece of road, one of the wheels gave way and
threw a lady, Mrs. Hammons, who was re
turning home to Summerville, out, breaking
three of her ribs and otherwise bruising lier.
The following ticket to break up rings
and one above reproach, is put forth by
“The People” ot Rome, whoever they are:
For Mayor, Daniel S. Printup. For Alder
men—First Ward, D. M. Hood and J. I.
Wright. Second Ward, R. V. Mitchell and J.
A. Bale. Third Ward, Robert T. Foucha and

The business of Rome is good. The con
cession in prices has stimulated trade, and
the merchants are just as busy as they can be.

fully declines being a candidate tor Rome
City Council.
