smith, one OF the commissioners, and that Mr.. |
Brady, one Of the appraisers, Is a brother at Mr.
Y. Brady, likewise one OF the commissioners and
pos master Of this city. If everything connected
with this bill is straight and proper, We do not soc
hat The parties could have any objection TO snch
remarks, or that they would hesitate TO give the
public little more hight and information on the
suhject.
The fact If, the unfortunate party ridden and
sx-ridden people of New York have been i'm
posed upon 80 much, and so continually, in
one way or another, by the politicians 10 power,
that they now imagine there Is not particle Of
homes ty in any Of lhem and that every job of this
KIND is se,zed on for the purpose Of filing the
pockets Of some hanger.on, without the least re-
ference to the interests Of the people.
The INVASION OF CuBA According to all ap-
pesrances, the secret expedition, designed for the
in,asIon OF Cuba, has been Knocked 90 the head
tor the present, IN consequence OF bad arrange
ment on the part Of those who were At the head OF
it, Appearances are, however, sometimes deceit
full Men enough for the enterprise were enlisted
aims and munitions of war, IN sufficient quAntlt'es,
were purchased-ships and steamers were char
tered, and but for the non-recept of certain sums
Of money, which were necessary To complete the
expe diion, il would have been, several days ago,
on It's way to the island Of Cuba. In consequence
Of The hon-recept Of those monies, the sailing Of
the expedition deferred until The authorities ut
Washington were let into the secret, and Informed
Of all the particulars, and the consequence was g,-
veInmental int rferrnce and the seizure Of several
vestels laden with ammunition, muskets. commis-
ssrat stores, aud other things necessary for effect
ing the object in view.
The intelligence which we received from Hava-
recently f-vors the superstition that this secret
expedition war, in reality, destined for the ,ava-
sion OF Cuba. IL appears that, when the steamship
Falcon touched AZ that port, the whole island was
in state of cOmmotion and excitement, and that
tie captain general was using The most energetic
measures TO Suppress any ate mpt ut rebellion tn
nighI occur ON any part Of the island Its not ut
all likely that such pleasures would have been
adopted by the captain general If he had not,
through h,s agents and spies in Cuba, obaiued in-
formation that All insurr.ction or revolution was
conie nplated, and would break out at about the
time that The arrival at the secret expedition might
be expected II nothing had interviewed to dis
turb the arrangements, the expedition would
buve reached Cuba at or about that time;
are, therefore, induced to believe that the
expedition, which we have heard 50 much Of for
SOME time past in the United States, but which has
fallen through in consequence Of bad management
In some quarter, was in reality destined for the
invasion If Cuba, and tkst, after arriving there,
the enlisted men would have united with the dis
contented Cubans, and end. avorsd effect forc-
BILE separation Of that island from Spain. For the
present, however, there will be attempt iuva-
sion or revolution made, but we have no doubt
thstit will take place sooner later. The invest-
ment Of the large sum If money which the eqnp-
ping and sending to sea OF such expeduion
would require is a guaranty and earnest that the
wealthy and ihhusn initial portions Of the Inhabitants
Of that rsutifu islapd anxious for change ia
their ey stem Of government, and desire be either
independent or be annexed to the United Ststee-
the latter nost probably, because Of the security
II would give to slave property there. Ii that class
OF the inhabitants, therefore, DESTROYS for such
change il it clear that such determination will he
tocner or later effected, and all the precautions Of
the captain general Cannot prevent it. The con-
eummatioD Of their wishes and intentions Ia only
delayed for Q while longer The ar ms and rrna-
tons which were purchased for the use Of the
secret EDITION, In the United States, can remain
here, ready for use when the proper time shall ar
rive, when the excitement sha have subsidized, and
when the government at Washington shall have
foieots the sub,ect. We would not be surprised to
hear OF number Of vessels clearing from some
ports in the Unued States for Jamaica and mar
KIT, within two or three months, but ally des-
Zinc d for CuSs.
THK INV JERSEY RAnRoAD MONOPOLY From
ell ne can learn, the days Of railroad monopoly IN
the State Of New Jersey numbered, for We p-r-
ceive that the people-th the m ssses-sre awakiag
from lsng slumber, aud seem DETERMINED to sweep
out Of existence the loroly few who have ruled
them for 70 long time with impunty and made
their sovereign Stale tributary to their owa inte-
I~sm. OF all the mooopoles which the monopoly
hidden people Of New Jersey have most suffered
from 10 that Of railroads, which hASoone more, we
venture to say, 10 bring that State into d.scoedt,
sno to rttsrd growth and progress, than the po
PIE themselves could do 10 ten years, IT, unforu-
nsity, they were inclined to reduce their State to
ouch n condition.
The mesns which the people of New Jersey are
about TO adopt, TO rid themselves Of this railroad
