I should have stated that my first lieutenant,
Mr.. Taylor, was with me during this inter-
view.
The whole number Of prisoners, including those
not yet brought to Havana, is officially stated to

have just learned that Lopez, who was cap
tured on Friday last, August 29), was brought
in last night, and publicly garroted at seven o.
clock This morning.
We learn that, upon receipt of these dispatch
co, the President directed copies 90 be sent TO
the Spauisho Minister, the further to enforce
an appeal already made to the government, now
since the leader Of the expedition has been GU!
off, to deal mercifully with his deluded followers

in state of revolution, and desired assistance

facts which, had iteexisted, could not have JUS

own statutes or of the law of nations; but the
expectation ofcwhich gives them strong claim

clothes, of arms, or munitions Of war, and the
trans portatioh of troops by steamboats,, or other
vessels are all indictable, and punishable by a
fine Of $4,000, and by Imprisonment in the COM
mon Jail for three years.
The law governing you as the Grand Jury is,
that you may indict on the knowledge and infor
nation of one of your own body. oSuch is the
rule in the State Courts, and your powers and
duties are the same. And it is your special du-
Ity TO act on the indictments and evidence to sup
port them, sent mp to you by the Attorney aof
the United States-as on him devolves the one
rous duty Of causing the laws to be executed.
Another circumstance will be brought TO your
imOticc. WtRcsses roy DO sent 70 Won who will
refuse TO testify because their evidence might
tend to crimnate themselves. Against giving
such evidence witness is protected; but he is
bound to2testify against all others, fully and
fairly, regardless Of his own opinions or wishes
or the sub1ect--and should witness refuse, YOU
will report the fact of his refusal, and the rea-
sons assigned for it, to the Court through your
foreman; so that the Court may decide to what
extent the witness rs bound to answer, and how
far he is protected. Under no other circumstan-
ces will you disclose what is said or done in the
Jury room. Should witness state facts that
implicate himself, disregarding the consequences,
it is your duty not to disclose the facts he may
state, nor to use them to his prejudice in any
way.
1t is proper to remark that, although the idea
of invading Cuba may be discouraged Just now
by the reported news that Lopez and his follow
ers have been taken, and most Of them destroy
ed; still, this country has no security against a
recurrence of other attempts similar to that Of
Lopez and his associates, oif it is generally be-
Ilieved that no power to punish exists IN the
President, or cOults of justice. Had this for
eign adVenturer andilis confederates been punish
ed as they deserved, for the first invasion of
Cuba, the late invasion and the unfortunate sac
lrifce Of human life, inflicted on men, (most
cruelty and basely deluded, and the recentnobs
and unlawful proceedings, would not have oc-
Cured. Their leading cause has been immunity
of punishment, and the consequent belief that
none could be inflicted. Disregard altogether
gentlemen, the present slumbering condition ol
the excitement, and indict for crimes already
committed, as you would do if the excitemen
was in full force. If you do not re may soor
see our country again agitated as it recently ha'
been, and the laws further SGT at defiance.
Ours is government of the people; sit is sci
government" 80 On no other people Of the cart
is the duty so high to MAINTAIN the laws, as on tn
'citizens Of the United States. The government
safe keeping and if the laws are not dplfeld,
must fali and be remembered in history as
signal failure, and be he1ddlp by kings and EN-
pcrors in future time, as conclusive evidenc
that man is incapapable of self-government.-
This isono morbid dreaming, but an undeniabl
fact, requiring deep consideration at your hand,

Where do Men find their Wives2

Where do men usually discover the women
who afterwards become their wives? is a ques-
tiOn we have occasionally heard discussed; and
the result invariably come TO, is worth mention
ing to our young lady readers. Chance has
much TO do in the affar; but then there are i'm
portant governing circumstances. 1t is certain
thatfew men make asseeetion from ball rooms,
or any other place of public gaiety and nearly
as few are influenced by what may be called
showing off in the streets, or by any allurements
Of dress. Our conviction is, that ninety y-nine
ihundredths of the fnery with which women
decorate, or load their persons, goes for nothing,
as far as husband catching is concerned. Where
and how then do men find their wives? In the
quiet homes of their parents and guarGians-at
the fireside, where the domestic graces and feel
ings are alone demonstrated. These are the
charms which most surely attract the high as
well as the humble. Against these all the f.
merry and airs in the world would sink into insig-
'niticance
We shall illustrate this by an anecdote, which
Though not new, will not be the worse for being
again told:
In the year 1878, Peter Burrel, Esq, Of
Buckingham, in Kent, whose strength was rap.
idly declining, was advised by his physician tC
go TO Spa for the recovery of his health. His
daughters feared that those who had motives en-.
tirely rnercenary would not pay him that atten.
ton which he might expect from those who from
duty and affection united, would feel the great.
est pleasure in ministering to his ease and COM
fort; they therefore resolved TO accompany him
They proved that it was not spirit of dissipa.
ton and gaiety that led them to Spa, for they
were not to be seen in any of the gay and fash
ionable circles; they were never out of their fa'
theirs company, and never stirred from home
Except to attend him, either 30 take the air or Il
drink the waters; in word, they lived the mos
recluse life in the midst Of atown then the re
resort Of the illustrious pcrsonages of Eu
rope.
This exemplary attention to their father, pre-
Icured those three amiable sisters the admiration
iOf the English at Spa, and was the cause of thei
elevation to that rank in life TO which their mer
, its gave them so just a title They were al
married TO noblemen--one to the Earl of Bever
; Ily, another to the Duke of Hamilton, and after
wards to the Marquis of Exeter, and third t
, the Duke of Northumberland.
I Andit rs Justice TO them TO say, that they re
fleet honor ON their rank rather than derive am
. from it.
