THU NEW ATTORNKTGENERAL- WIIAT HIS
APPOINTMENT H ION I WES A f'HANOE IN
THE SOUTHERN AND OtBAN POLICY OF
TII l ADM INISTRATION.
ti th I'iMf.B by fl. A A. Line.]
Washington, April 20. Tho ap
pointment of Judge l’ierrepont to
the Attorney Generalship is regarded
liere as a sure indication of a change
Iu the Bouthorn and Cuban policy of j
the Administration, it is assorted I
that tlie influence which Ims hit herto
, been exerted to provent the interfer
ence of our Government in Cuba will
before many weeks be clamorous for
some action on our part to prevent
t he wholesale destruet ion of property
In that island.
It is not believed that Mr. Fisli
will soon retire from the Cabinet. It
is thought lit* will I).* as zealous be
fore long for some measure towards
j Spain as lie bus been for the oppo
* site policy iu tin- past. The ivleiit-
I less manner in whieli the Insurgents
have applied the torch in the four
richest sugar growing districts of the I
island lias thoroughly frightened tlie I
money lenders of New York and !
Philadelphia who have Invested their j
millions in shares ill Cuba.
The ‘influence of those men lias
been hitherto used against the suc
; cos* "f the patriots, because they
know that success would destroy
slavery, and tlien their security for
money loaned was gone. Now they
see that not only tlie slaves arc bo
ding set free in Sagua La Grande,
l 'idling**■ . YillatMaraand Colon, but
tlie sugar plantations are being de
stroyed and the whole country laid
waste. They are therefore as anxious
now to have our government inter
fere os they were to prevent it a few
years since. it is unquestionably
true that representations have been
made t*> Madrid through Minister
Cushing which have not been receiv
ed in tho most friendly manner.
In diplomatic circles it is regarded
l as almost certain that our Govern
i meat lias made an offer of its friend
i ly officers ns a mediator, and it is re
i gnrdcd as equally certain that Spain
| will reject the proposition. Tlie Al
j fonso Government could not live
! twelve hours if it was discovered in a
! scheme of tills sort. This failing,
then our Government will lie urged
j lo notify Spain that the property of
American citizens in Cuba must be
protected. If Spain would accept the
j proffer of mediation at the hands of
tliis tloveriiuicnt, the money lenders
; believe that a basis of compromise
; could be agreed upon which would
! prevent, general met sudden eman
cipation, mid thus enable the
sugar planters to provide Coolie la
bor, to take the place of slave labor;
but, thus failing, they want the Pres
ident to interfere, and put a stop to
those wholesale burnings.
Secretary Fish does not like tliis out
look at. all, but the issue is inevitable.
It may lie that lie means to step down
and out, and thus avoid self-stultifi
cation. U nil events the Cuban
question is to lie tlie all-absorbing
one before next fall.

Reibsenner was brought to this city,
