The railroad conspiracy trial is the only sub.
iect of general interest here now. 1t is, how
ever drawing to a close. Itis inety-three days
since it ommenced-seventy- one having been
actual working days. Between five and six
hundred witnesses have been examined on both
sides--beng about equally divided between the
prosecution and the defence. 1t is, therefore,
a trial, unprecedented for its length, in this
country There are now twenty persons against
whom there are indctments-three having died
since the trial commenced. he testimony is
strong against some fifteen or sixteen, and the
probability is that they will be convicted.
The summing up commenced this morning
on the part of the prosecution, by Mr.. Vanar.
man of Marshall He will occupy tomorrow.
His address thus far has been mastery expo

by Mr.. Frnk of Chicago, for the defence Mr..

for the fence-so that several days will yet be
occupied 1t is understood that Mr. Seward
has been preparing for month or two past an

CuBA-As we have all along suspected, as
we explicitly stated the other day, and as we are
now we'll satisfied from the latest and most rea-
BILE accounts from Cuba, it can be at last estab-
lished that most Infamous system of misrep
resentation and falsehood has been put in prac-
tee for weeks and months past, through the
New Orleans papers and other channels of pub
lie intelligence, in relation to the actual feeling
of the inhabitants of the Queen of the Antilles
towards their government, and their desire to
effect its overthrow.
For the last twelvemonth and more, the con-
slant cry has been kept up that the poor, down
trodden, but liberty loving people of Cuba, were
most ardently DESTROYS of throwing off the
Spanish yoke, and annexing their beautiful
island to the United States ard all that was ne
cessary to reach IA contamination so devouuy
to be wished" was simply the landing of few
hundreds Of well-armed and stout-hearted
. Americans upon their shores, when an uprising
of the whole population en- masse would be the
immediate consequence. Well, the experiment
was made. Lopez, with band Of followers
Mt the imminent hazard of their lives, went to

Condition Of Free Negroes.

The free negro question is the most insoluble
of all the social problems of the day, and stands
M a practical sarcasm on all the theories of abo-
ltion and emancipation, immediate or remote
with or without expatriation. The following
shows what the condition of free negro is in
the young and fertile State of Ohio
FREE NEGROES IN OHIo.-A writer in the
Baltimore Patriot, who is travelling in Ohio,
gives the following account of the Randolph
negroes, who it will be remembered, were
driven from the homes which had been procured
for them, by the whites:
"Troy, about twenty miles from Dayton, is a
sm all and rather dilapidated town, between this
place and Pequa. Along the canal the majority
of the Randolph negroes are located 1t was
in the adjoining county Of Mercer that the large
tract of land was purchased for their settlement,
from which they were forcibly elected by the
white inhabitants. The condition Of these poor
creatures is sad commentary on the miserable
policy of emancipating negroes, and allowing
them to remain in this country. The majority
Of these once invaluable servants are now worth
less pests upon the community among whom
they are located, and often want for the com.
mon necessities Of life. | heard several of them
express ardent wish to return to the shores
of Roanoke again, where they once had plenty,
and did not know what it was to suffer for want"
And The following from the New York Even
ing Post shows what it is elsewhere:
FUGITIVE SLAVES IN CANADA AND ENGLAND
VIM. Wells Brown, formerly slave in the
United States, addresses a very sensible letter
10 the London Times, on the condition of the
fugitive slaves in England He says very many
of those who have been compelled to fly into
Canada from prosecutions resulting from the
late fugitive lsw, are without employment He
estimates the number of fugitves in Canada
at thirty thousand; and as these peope, he says
are mostly without education, and have bu,
little knowledge Of the mechanical branches
they find many difficulties in the way of getting
employment, and thereby earning for themselves
an honest living.
Many of these people have within the last 81,
or eight months, gone to England to seek EN-
ployment, and encounter the same diliculte,
there as in Canada, and consequently soon be
come burden to the benevolent or inmate,
of the "unions." He therefoie recommends
that provision be made for sending such Of then
as are willing to go to the West Indies, to
labor in those islands where slavery has been
abolished, and where a deficiency Of labor is
now experienced.
What Mr.. Brown asserts in regard to the me-
cessities and dstresses of his brethren in exile, is
undoubtedly true. Their must be the same
n that Of their masters would be, were they by
harsh and unexpected law compelled TO take
refuge on foreign shores and in unaccustomed
cIim1s. Bot whether the plan Of sending them
10 the West Indies promises anything effectual
for their reIief. we doubt The owners of estates
in the British islands will probably soon learn,
ii not vet convinced Of II, that il is not mere
