GEN. WORTH AND CUBA.-The Philadelphia
Sun has received the following communication
Messrs. Editors have just noticed in your
paper Of the 29th ultimo paragraph, in which
it is stated that the late Gen. Worth was to
have headed "the Cuban expedition of last
year." and on what conditions. The whole ac-
count, based as it necessarily must be on mere
report, is erroneous; offensive to the living
and most unjust to the gallant dead, of whose
| wel-earned fame his country he so faithfully
served is now the proper and should be jealous
guardian. ic.G sa 8.s ,s.l ga. e.
Gen. Worth was, it is true, approached, and
certain inducements rendered him on the sub
ject in question. His reply was, that q when
ever the Cubanoes should have established for
themselves q government, recognised by his
own, he would, on certain conditions, accept
the proffered position This, of course, def
nitely dismissed the further consideration of
the subject with respect to himself This state
ment is made on the most reliable authority
by an officer of the U. S. A.

The Baltimore and washington City
Railroad.

To the Editors Of the american Telegraph.
GENTLEMEN: You ask, is not three dollars
and sixty cents high price to 60 to Baltimore
and backf l think there can be but one an
swer to your question: it is high, very high,
even to extortion. We can ride in an omnibus
from the Capitol to Georgetown for FIVE cents
three miles for five cents--not two cents per
rnilel and by horse-tug paved street
The rairoad will carry us forty miles for
one dollar and eighty cents-four and half
cents per mile over an iron track by steam!
Now, gentlemen, rs editors know every thing,
do tell us where is the great advantage of the
level track and locomotive over the paved street
and ordinary vehicle? We are constantly hear
ing about the immense economy of steam and
great saving of level roads; but surely the peo-
pie of Washington do not get any of these ad-
vantages.
/ ain aware that the railroad company has to
pay tax of fifty cents for each passenger; but
after deducting this, they still charge three and
q quarter cents per mile. There must be some
thing wrong somewhere, Messrs. Editors; for
we must conclude that the great advantages Of
railroads, about which we hear so much, are
lies got up to induce people toinvest their money
in railroad stocks, to create a few offices for
gentlemen TO fill at high salaries or else this
road makes swindling profits; or, as last sup
position, that this Washington branch railroad
is shamefully mismanaged.
Here is an opportunity for all to feel (if they
cannot see) the absurdity of Legislatures grant
ing special privileges to corporations, and not
insttuting any special supervision Of their deal
ings with the public. Law gives this company
the right of way, and at the same time gives
them privilege to fleece the public.
1t is but too often the case that the men who
control corporations are avaricious and narrow
minded money -shovels-men who are incapable
of appreciating the advice Of Solomon: Coast
thy bread upon the waters, and thou shalt lind
it after many days." These men would rather
take advantage Of one mans wants to extort one
dollar and eighty cents, than induce five men to
pay five dollars in good will. u
Let this company straighten their huge mo-
del of the. "crooked serpent" get better en-
gnes, give their workmen better wages, and
lay down double track, and carry passengers
through in one hour for one dollar or less, and
they will find that their business will increase
fvefold-but expenses will not be more than
doubled. STRAIGHT LINE.

tFrom the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
The Late General Lopez.

Narcso Lopez, who has lost his life ignomin-
iously ut Havana, was born of wealthy parents
in Venezuela, in 1899. He was the only son Of
his parents that grew to manhood, though he
had number of sisters. His father had a COM
mercial house in Caracas, a branch OF which at
Valencia, in the interior, was placed under the
charge Of Narciso at an early age. During
the troubles of 1914, young Lopez sided with
the popular party, but afterwards enlisted in the
Spanish army, when fortune turned in its favor,
and at the end of the civil war he was made
Colonel when only twenty-three years Of age.
After the Spanish army eyacuted Venezuela,
Lopez went to Cuba, where he remained and
established himself in life, soon making himself
conspicuous by his advocacy of liberal principles.
During the first Carlist troubles he Glanced to
be in Madrid on private business Having joined
the royalist party he was made aid de-camp to
the commander-in-ch General Valdez and
received several military decorations. lie was
honored with several important Offices by the
Queen, and was finally made Governor Of Ma
drid, Afterwards, as Senator from Seville he
is said to have made the condition of Cuba his
especial study, and the expulsion of the Cuban
deputies from the Cortes induced him to resign
his Office and return to the island. There he
held several posts under the Captain General
Valdez. Finally he undertook the reworking of
an abandoned copper-mine in the central depart
ment, where he is said TO have employed his
time in instilling liberal principles into the
minds of the populace.
In l849, when he thought every thing was
ripe for revolution, he came to the United
States and got up the immature and worse than
useless attempt at an invasion, known as the
Round Island Expedition. In May, 1850, the
famous invasion and sudden evacuation Of Car
denas took place. In August, 1851, he again
landed in Cuba at Bahia Honda. His followers
were speedily destroyed or captured, and he
himself, fugitive among the mountains, was
taken on the 9th Of August. On the lst of
September, 1851 he suffered the ignominious
death of the garote at Havana. These are the
principal events of life remarkable for its
inconsistencies. Lopez's integrity as patriot
has often been questioned, but we are not dis
posed to discuss it now. He is said to have
died brayely, and we are willing to refer his
errors rather to his head than his heart.
