CuBA.-The New Sun Of yesterday says
We were yesterday allowed the pleasure OF see
ing large quantity of ,comen's jeiceiry and nink-
cts, collected by the ladies of Cuba and sent by them
to the Cuban Junta in this country, to aid in
bringing arms and ammunition for the liberation
of their oppressed country. These articles are
the contributions of the women of only one sim
gle town, whose population is not more than
twenty or thirty thousands inhabitants The
same operation is extending all over the island.
The intention of the Junta, we understand, in
regard to these jewels aud the rest that will fol-
low, is rather TO borrow money on a pledge of
them, redeemable at future day, than to dis
pose of them by sale-looking forward 10 the
time when they will be treasured in worthy
place OF public deposit, in the capitol of Cuba,
as the hitting ye9aiia, or "crown Jewels" OF the
liberated Republic. An examination of the ar
ticles shows them to have proceeded from vast
number of donors, and from all classes and ages
Rich and elegant articles Of modern Partisan
fashion, such as could only be owned by ladies
OF wealth, mingled with numerous others
contributed by the poorer classes Of society
strange antiquities, evidently given by pious
grandmotheTs, with articles suitable only to the
youngest girls.

Loce Foco Conven,ies.

This farccal gathering Of fifteen men to decide
what shall be the action Of the great democratic par
" OF Iowa, IN relation to important an officer
that OF Superintendent Of Public Instruction, will
strike every one decidedly ridiculous and anti
democratic. II the dictation Of these few is to
govern, then may the dearest interests of Iowa be
committed to q committee of fifteen, with full an.
thorty for them to DO up all the work Of the great
democratic party.
But some may say they were committed to such
action, by the fact that their nominee, Mr. BEsros,
threatened, if he was not nominated, to leave the
State ana 60 to California. This was conside-a-
ton of some weight, truly. But, think, in con-
alteration Of that ten tAousand doRsrs, which the
new democratic State Printer says is sinexplic ABLY

to let Mr. 6cnton goto California. They surely have

Mr. D. Mr. rALEs would have been most respec-
table and formidable candidate iSr them, especially
a. it is known he performed the moss arduous du-
ties of the Office, during Mr. BIS late pleasure trip
to Texas.
The people should pause before they vote for a
man who, in his transactions is, if we understand
tho democratic State Prnter defaufer in the man.

SuPerinde ndent Of Public Iustructisn-Loc0iOc
NOmi n0liou.


The Locofoco state convention, which
came of on Friday the 2lst inst, has
placed the name Of Thomas Fl. BENroS
Jr. the present incumbent, before the peo-
pie Of this state for reelection TO the re-
sponsible office Of Superintendent Of public
instruction, he having graciously consent
ed to postpone his emigration TO the coast
OF the Pacific.
This postponement of the Hon. gentle
man ought to be properly appreciated by
the 'unterrified' Of The State. II would have
been very difficult on the part OF the peo-
pie, in the estimation of Mr. Benton, TO
have selected a person from their ranks,
who could so efficiently attend TO the du-
ties of the post which he now occupies
Whether the voters OF the state will coin
side with him in this opinion relative TO
his peculiar fitness and qualifications as re-
CARDS this office, remains yet TO be seen.
Judging however, from the remarks of the
editor Of the Miners Express, who is now
the State printer elect, and who, it may be
presumed, speaks by authority, we are
led 10 the conclusion, that the estimation
Of Mr. Benton's qualifications for this office
does not occupy quite so high q position
in the mind OF the State Printer, as il does
in the genealogical Developments Of Mr.
Benton himself.
The editor ofthe Express, in his COM
ments upon the report Of the Superinien-
dent, says: "No bolstering up, or ANAL
gamation with another office, as is propos-
ed by the Superintendent CAN cure ii (the
present school system Of the state) Of IFS

The italicizing is our own, but we
would enquire Of the State Printer elect,
what this all means !? Has 10000 Of the
school fund become so ''inex plicaby un-
distinguishable" that the Superintendent
whom the recent locoloco convention re-
nominsted, can tell nothing about i,9 Can
give no account Of its whereabouts !? A
beautiful commentary indeed, upon the
ability Of the present incumbent, and the
wisdom and honesty OF the late convention
that nominated him for reelection 10 the
responsible office Of Superintendent !!

We perceive, among late Congressional items,
that the Bill from the House making Land Warrants
transferable, passed the Senate, and has probably
become law. This, in our opinion, will do more
to make mere spectators owners Of our public
