sagspca'iSirs,

The Few York Journal Of Commerce
has the following startling statement
respecting the extent of pauperism in
that city
"Our citizens ought to know and feel the
fact that one fifth OF our entire population
are paupers, supported in part or in whole
by charity. 'ln the calculation, we in
clude only the inn-door and outdoor poor
of the city, aims house, and the beneiici-
rates of the Society for MeloratIng the
Condition olthe Poor. There are besides
a large number in other charitable in
stitutlons. "We do not speak of the
children scheoled at the public expense,
but only Of those who are furnished
gratuitously with food, clothes and fuel
Every five families support sixth, al
least large portion OF the winter. The
effect of these abundant supplies is ener.a-
ting. The knowied ge that others will pro,
vide for their wants in The winter excites
the improvldent to spend the summer in
idle wasteiuiness.
Such facts must command the most pro.
found attention OF our citizens. The pro.
portion, W hich is now fifth, was not long
ago an eighth, and will soon be fourth
Who shall say that lithe same system is
pursued, it will never DE half?
There is on Black well's Island hos
pitai, kept a. great expense, in fine order
devoted entirely to the diseases of iewd
ness, and use d almost wholly for the ben.
eft Of infamous houses. This establish.
ment panders and encourages the loves
depths of degradation; and TO break it ~
would Ae more serious blow at the hou
SEES which create its business, than ally
efforts OF the Police.

Cuba.

The Editor of the New York San has
been visiting that Island, and returned 10
the United States impressed with a con-
victon that it should be purchased from
the Spanish nation that such "a purchase
would be wise policy in our Government
and would meet the almost universal ac-
quiescence OF the inhabitants of Cuba. In
answer TO the question, why II it Is for sale
England has not made the purchase? tie
editor replies-the reason Is. that the clti-
zcns Of uba are opposed 10 being trans.
erred TO the dominion Of the Blush Co
vernment That Government has long
tried to negotiate such purchase, and but
for the repugnance of the Cuban people
the same would long since have been con-
sunmated.
One need net live in Cuba over a
week, says the Sun, 10 understand fully
why its people wish change. A native
OF Cuba, by which we mean Cuban born,
and they amount to the ninety nine hun
dredths-is not allowed to hold any Office
civil or .rilitary-to petition for any re-
dress with over two names-has neither
civil, Supreme Court nor Jury to give him
iustice--is taxed for every thing he raises
or sells, even to hens eggs and finally is
a slave to all intents and purposes to the
few Castilians who lord it over the Island
in the name Of Spain. These are some of
the reasons why the Cubans wish to
change protectors-why they call on us
to extend the folds Of our flag aver their
beautiful Island, and we snail show our
selves blind to the richest and most desi-
rable bargain ever offered to the United
States if their proposition is not accepted.
We repeat that Cuba may, and must be
ours, honorably and above board, let the
word be said and it is State OF the Union.

Most Maghanfmous.

Old Hawk says that the Wings will
not contest the validity Of the election Of
Messrs. Thompson and Letter, which he
AYERS they could do on the ground that
there is no law authorizing the election Of
Congressman: That they will not do as
the loco focos have done, in regard to the
election Of Superintendent Of Public In
structlon, and set the election aside!
Most wonderful and msgnanimous old jo-
ker! How very kind this is in you! Now
there is no analogy between the two cas-
es whatever; and if we do not show that
there is full and ample provision for the
election of two Congressman from this
State, we will agree that Old Hawk may
stake our hat"
The LIST article Of the Constitution of the
y. s. says sthe House Of Representatives
shall be composed Of members chosen every
second gear By the people Of the several
STATES" The act Of Congress, admitting
Iowa into the Union, grants Iowa two
members Of the House OF Representatives.
The act of the Territorial Legislature
says, that "an election for delegate to Con.
gress shall take place on the first Tuesday
in October, eighteen hundred and forty
three, and on the same day in every Sec
ond year thereafter" this act 50 far as re-
lates to the day, was altered by an act APP
proved, January 20, 1874, which says
THAT the election for Territorial and
county officers shall hereafter be held on
the first Monday in the month Of August
in each year." An act was passed at the
last session Of the General Assembly
which says, -"7hat this State shall be d.
uided into tro Congressional Districts, for
The election Of Representatives. in the Con-
gress of the .. s., each Of uhich Districts
shall be entitled TO elect one Representative; =
all Of which has been complied with in the
election of Congressman. And what is
more, all the laws were in force previous
TO, ard at the time of the election. which
was not the case with regard to the School
Laws. And further, the election of Con-
gressmen was ordered by the proper au-
thorIties in each county, which was not
the case in most of the counties for the
election OF School officers.

"The Locoiocos of Rhode Island, upon
the occasion o. the Presidents late visit
to their state, appointed a fellow, who has
been III the penitentiary, chairman Of the
committee of reception. The fellows name
is Dorr."
The above extract is from the Louisville
Journal, and in its paternity as well as in
its extensive circulation in the wing prints,
furnishes The strongest possible evidence
that could be adduced in favor Of the oft
repeated assertion, to the eiIec, that those
most entitled to place in the peni,entia-
ry, do not always get their just deserts.

Fe0er0l PrOScrlpt1Ol.
We notice in the last Miners Express
a card signed BY thirteen individuals and
firms doing business in Dubuque, with
drawing their patronage from that Jour-
nal. The cause assigned by them for this
proscriptive act is, the language used by
the Express in announcing the result Of
the election in Dubuque county, in which
the whig party there are styled Next
can Wings" The real cause, it is per-
haps unnecessary for us to say is. sore
ness for their defeat and well grounded
suspicion that the Express had no incon-
siderable share in bringing it about.
Whether or no the wings of Dubuque
county are entitled pre-eminently to the
epithe, applied to them, it is not our pur
pose now to discuss. Neither do we wish
to institute comparative estimate, in or
der to ascertain who are likely to be the
greater losers by the withdrawal. All
we propose doing besides alIuding to the
fact that the language of the Express is
only similar to that which almost every
democratic editor in the country has deem
ed it his duty to use, in view Of the rela-
ton which the wing party, as a party, &C.
cupy towards the country-is to institute
quite different comparison.
As to the individuals themselves, we
care bnt little and think less; but as far as
their action represents the vindictive spirit
oftheir party, it demands a passing notice
at our hands. Scarcely can wing Jour-
nal be picked up now days, without the
eye of the democratic reader encounters
such epithets and language as the follow
ing, applied to himself and his party: "a
band OF Robbers, styling themselves dem
ocrats;" "the oilscouring and lowest dregs
of our population" "dumning crimes COM
mitted upon 8 weak and distracted peo-
pie, by armed rutions and murderas." We
might go on and fiji whole page of our
paper with similar extracts. But we for
bear. The recoil will in due time be up
on the heads Of the party making use Of
them. But notwithstanding the fact that
nearly every whig paper in the country
absolutely teens with the repetition of the
like epithets, an instance of a discontinue
ance by democrats, Of the business rela-
tons Of publisher and advertiser, similar
to that OF the wing bakers dozen at Du-
buvue,h has not yet come to our knowledge.
We cannot conclude without giving our
friend ofthe Express joy, that he has en-
countered the sword of prosecution in a
just and holy cause. The manner. in which
he has met the assault, shows him to be a
good soldier, and one whom, if we may
be allowed to Judge, the advocates of pro-
scriplion will not be likely soon again to
adopt similar method to vanquish.

senior Of the Standard very wisely ac-
counts for the defeat Of his party in the
recent contest in this State, upon the same
principle that white sheep are said to eat
more than black ones, yiz:-because there
are more Of them. This will do very well,
as far the editor himself and some Of his
co-workers are concerned; but, notwi,h-
standing the old adage that misery loves
company, we feel ourself called upon, as
fair and impartial journalist, to protest,
decidedly and emphatically, against gen.
erdl application Of the humiliating simile
The democrats of Iowa may (the editor
