8 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.” • —NI ► 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 casm and ridicule, at its expense, falls so far below the standard of genuine, that we have neither the time nor space to bandy words with it. 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.” - M 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.

Jones, who stole 54G,000 from the i Southern Bank of the State of Georgia last ; February, is reported to be in Paris. The l Savannah Advertiser states that the latest news in regard to the sanctimonious villian is l that a dispatch was received yesterday at the ; bank from a gentleman in Paris announcing 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. Mr. Iverson A. Jones, of Covington, has gone to Little Rock, Arkansas, to live. This from the Covington Enterprise of yesterday: The jury, in the case of the State against George Sims, returned a verdict of guilty, without any recommendation to 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.
