A citizen of Havannala has just been guilty of
an act which' does most to display the feelings of hatred
in a community, and to rouse the nation against which they
are entertained; one of those sparks where a mine is already
laid that so often cause the explosion of a war, and lead
tc great political changes. Isaac Green wall, Kerry K.
Fo ter, Hugh Johnson, and Gardner Wells, all of New
Y., k, started on the morning of the Gth instant to visit a
photograph gallery, at Havannala, to have their pictures
taken, the party wearing blue neckties. Pointing to these a
Spaniard, who met them near the Tacon Theatre, op med
a volleyof abuse, but in S pauish, which they did not under-
stand,and then efore passed unheeded. T he assassin, however,
perhaps incensed by their indifference, drew a revolver,
and killing Greenwall, severely wounded Foster and
Johnson, Wells flying for his life, with a mob at hi
heels crying " Stop him !" The animus was shown by the
treatment the wounded 'nee received from the people, as
well as by the fact that the murderer disappeared. linme-
(Lately on learning the intelligence, Secretary Fish com-
municated with the American Consul at Ifavannah, urging
him to obtain redress for the wrong; but the Captain-
General expressos the greatest indignation at the outrage,
and has already ordered every means to be used for the
capture of the assassin, putting the whole police force into
motion, and offering a reward of $l,OOO for the culprit.
If taken he will be tried by drum-head court-martial, and
shot within two hours after sentence ; but as the sympathy
in Havannah is against the Government, and:with the cul-
prit, his capture is improbable. The victims of this atro-
cious outrage, which has tended so much to revive the
sympathy of the United States for the poor Cubans,
exposed to the rule of such monsters, were mere clerks who
but a few weeks before had arrived from New York to
open a cosmetic and perfumery factory for Lawrence and
Kemp.
The general impression in America on the late pro-
ceedings of the Erie shareholders is, that they will have a
great deal to learn about Fisk, Gould, and Co. The New
York Times, the Springfield Republican, and many other
journals, seem to relish, as a joke, the observations of an

innocent shareholder at tlrectmeeting to decide on the
stamping of shares, who said that he thought Fisk could he
shamed into dealing fairly with them. But the funniest part
of it is, now few in New York seem to be aware that the
real loss falls upon America. New Yorkers are amused at
the English shareholders, who have at last "pricked up
courage to fight Fisk and Gould under the common but
very thin British conceit, that it will be easy to get the
read out of the grasp of those enterprising and audacious
gentlemen." What those enterprising gentlemen have done
has been to add one or two per cent. per annum to the
interest on a great proportion of American indebtedness,
a sum which every year would exceed the cost of con-
structing another Erie railroad. it may be regarded as a
capital joke that the unscrupulous gentlemen can success-
fully defraud by chicanery, honest, straightforward in-
vestors, but though a section of foreigners suffer the main
body of foreigners gain enormously in procuring an inte-
rest for their money in American investments they would
otherwise have no chance of obtaining. We again say, it
_ -

is extraordinary that Now Yorkers do not see the handle
made by such papers as the London Times of the acts of
their "audacious gentlemen," through which lenders
mulct American borrowers in a way amply to compensate
them for such proceedings.

The signs of Mormon dissolution are apparent in
Utah, while Mormonism is making great progress else-
where. In Salt Lake City a mass meeting was called to
assemble on the 10th of Feb. at "Walker's Building, to ratify
the nomination of the ticket in opposition to the munici-
pal election nominees. The orthodox saints were, on this
occasion, found to be wide-awake children of this world,
for they went early, and in sufficient numbers to fill up
every nook of the building, so that no space whatever was
left for the opposition, and, in consequence, the orthodox
ticket was carried by acclamation. Nor did the orthodox
confine themselves to this "sell," for they chaffed the op-
position, who were in no humour to hear their merriment,
but could not give effect to their ill-temper. One report
states that the "Mormons, led by the Territorial Marshal
and city police, took possession of the hall and broke up
the meeting. The Gentiles attempted to meet in another
hall, but the Mormon crowd followed and forbade it. Much
genuine alarm ptevails among the Gentile portion of the
Territory." On the 14th inst. the election was to take
place, when the Gentiles, aided by Mormon Secessionists,
will run H. Lawrence for Mayor against a H. Wells.
