FROM THE N. Y. EVENING POST.


the Spanish Ministerhas already made a
demand upou the Federal government for
the negroes brought in this vessel, as the
property Of Messrs. Luiz and Monies
This demand may impose very painful
duty upon the President, if the Spanish law
gives good tile to the pretended owners
ofthese slaves.
Aletter in The Journal Of Commerce yes
tcrday morning, from Mr.. Tappan, assumes
that there is no treaty stipulation on the
subject between this country and Spain.
This is We believe, an entire mistake. The
treaty ofl795 (Elliott's Diplomatic code,
Vol. |, PIP. 394--396, between the United
States and Spain contains this express pro.
vision
art. 6 Each party shall cndcavor, by
all the means in their power, 10 protect am
defend all vessels and other effects belong
ing to the cilizens or subjects OF The other
which shall he within The extent OF therjur.
isdicilon y sea or by land and shall use all
their efforts 10 recover and cause TO be res
tored to the right owners, their vesseis.and
effects, which may have been taken from
them within the extent of their said jurisdic-
ton, whether they are at war or no, with the
power whose subjects have taken possess
ion Of the said effects"
"Art. 9Ali ships and merchandise OF
what nature soever, which shall be rescued
out of the hands of any pirates or robbers
on the high seas, shall be brought into some
port of either state, and shall be delivered
to the custody ofihe officers ofthat port, in
order to be taken care of, and restored en-.
tire to the true proprietor, as soon as due
and sufficient proof shall be made concern
ing the property thereof"
And the treaty of 1919 thus confirms
these siipulations.
"No. IL. The treaty oflimi's and navi.
CATION, of 1895 remains confirmed in all
and each one o! its articles, excepting the
2, 3, 4, 81, and the second clause Of the
22d article, which having been altered by
this treaty. or having received their entire
execution, are no longer valid"
Unless therefore, this treaty has expired
or has been modified by some act, Of which

como back to where 1t was left by our Cor
respondent Veto the other day, and that Is
the Spanish law. Tie Spanish minister
claims these negroes as the property of
Messrs. Ruiz and Mon,'s. The first ques.
ton is--are they legally claimed? viii
the laws of Cuba, permi, Africans Illegally
imported to be legally held in slavery, and
,ha. too, where the purchaser, knew them
to be illegally lmporled.-The proposition
appears almost to carry with it its denial,
but, nevertheless it may be that it is to be
answered in the affirmative, and if so, we
do not exactly see on what ground our gov
elnment could justify refusal. II Cingurz
and his comrades are slaves in the eye Of
the law, they are robbers and pirates also
in the same point of view, although they may
have been merely engaged in jus. attempt TO
regain that liberty ofwI.ich they were un-
Justly deprived.

the practice of betting on elections.

The sickness in Augusta. Mobile and New
Orleans continues without abatement. There
are fewer deaths than there were, but it is only
because there are fewer persons, all having fled
to the country who could do SO. In Angus and
Mobile some of the daily papers have been obliged
to reduce their issues to one paper week for the
want of hands.
In Charleston the sickness seems not to in.
crease, but rather to have somewhat abated.

A PROFITABLE MULBERRY TREE.

AMr. Ebenezer Warner gives in the North
ampton (Mass.) Gazette the following account
of mulberry tree raised by him. He says
that about 1880 he bought some white mul'
berry seed, and among the trees which grew
from it. he saw four with large leaves. One
of these he planted in the street near his
horse. A mulberry dealer in Connecticut,
who had seen it clothed with foliage last sum-
mer bought it at $50, and afterwards sold it
at $50 to second dealer. who sold many oil
the buds at 81 each. About $500 buds were
taken from the tree during the winter and
spring and 1t now has probably $500 The
owner has been offered 5000 for the tree and
and the product from it. which offer he refused.
