CUBA.

From present indications it is not unlikely but
that our government will be forced into difficulty
of some kind with Spain, growing out Of the Cuban
difficulties 1t is apparent that large portion OF
our citizens will readily embrace any plausible pre-
text for obtaining foothod in "the garden of the
West Indies and the short-sightedness ofthe Span
ah authorities in that Island will most probably
punish our citizens not only with pretext but
With justifable ground for difficulty with Spain,
and should war ensae. Cuba will follow the Gear
of the Conqueror." While we say nothing as to the
good or evil of Cuban annexation, even il accom-
plshed by legitimate means, still it may not be I'M
proper TO look at the question calmly and see its
relations to our own institutions and our domestic
peace. Were the South a lone Confederacy it
would certainly be to her interest to obtain this
valuable Island, but as the citizens of our Union
are so much divided upon the slavery question, it
may well be a question worthy the examination of
all the parties in interest, whether twould be prop
CT to anne1iher lawfully, even, unless the slave
question rs to her were first fully understood and
appreciated. Without examining this question
now as we proposed TO ourselves at the commence
ment, we will adjourn it with the single remark
that all interested in this question affirmatively,
should first see a lawful means Of accomplishing
the end, which they propose, and then look well
10 the consequences, which will legitimately fol-
low Cuban annexation, consequences which must
affect our Union and our political fraternity in
greater or less degree. We are well aware of the
wealth and value OF this Island, OF the excellence
of its climate, the adaptability of its soil to all the
products of the South, its excessive fertility andits
importance in almost every particular, still say
to all, think before you act and above all look well
to the consequences of your action. We have no
doubt that some important governmental change
will ere long be produced in Cuba, and that sooner
or later our Government will have to take some ac-
ton the subject but what that action will be
what it should be must depend upon developments
to be made hereafter. But nevertheless it is our
duty to look at the matter beforehand and endeav-
or to be prepared for any emergency which may be
forced upon US, and to be so prepared as that our
action will rebound to the honor, the interests and
the common welfare of all portions of our great
confederacy.

Important Slave Case.

The case of Cecil Oliver ct al. against Daniel
Kaufman, ct al, which has been pending FOR some
time past, in the United. States circuit court in
Philadelphia, has resulted in verdict of $4,000
damages against Kaufman, and the acquittal of the
other defendants. The action was brought under
the provisions of the act of Congress of 1793 TO
cover damages for harboring and concealing thir-
teen slaves who had escaped into Pennsylvania
from the custody of their owners. the plaintiffs,
who reside in Maryland. Judge Grier, in his
charge to the jury. said: a ~. =
''whether the plaintiffs could have sustained
an action on the case on the mere guarantee of
their rights as contained in the Constitution, we
need not inquire. The action has been instituted
with reference to the terms used in the act OF Con-
gress of 1898. The fine inflicted by that act, can
be no longer recovered, because the act of 1880,
having changed the penalty, has thereby repealed
the act of 1793 10 the extent 10 which it has been
thus supplied. But the statute, so far as it gave
an action on the case, for hardening and conceal
ing, has not been supplied or repealed. FL.
..It istoo plain for argument, that this act does
not intend 10 make common charity crime, or
treat that man nS guilty of an offence against his
neighbor who merely furnishes food, lodging, OF
rainient to tie hungry, weary, or naked wanderer,
though he be an apprentice or a slave. On the
contrary, It contemplates not only escape the
slave, but the intention of the master to reclaim
him It points outthe mode in which this recla-
nation is TO be made and it for an unlawful in
terferance or hindrance of this fight of reclama-
ton, secured TO the master by the Constitution
and laws, that this action Is given. su-
1.-THE harborng made criminal BY this act, then,
requires some other ingredient besides mere kind
mesa or charity rendered TO the fugitive The in
tention ;or purpose which accompanies the act,
must be TO encourage the fugitive in his desertion
Of his master to further his escape and impede and
frss,ste his reclamation. Gsrhis act must evince
an intention to eiude the vigilance of the MASTER
and be calculated to obtain the object IL Nc

Row IL WILLi.a's CoLLEoE.-The names of
four individuals, protesting to be students in Will
liams College, are given in the New York Express,
as authority for the following statements. 1t is
written under the date of October 30th.
ION Tuesday last, the students, as is the usual
custom, applied for permission to ascend Greylock
Gas soon as the first snow appears upon its lofty
summit they have always given the students liber=
ty to ascend and camp out.) This, to their sur
prise and indignation, was peremptorily and ha Ssh
ly refused. TWAS then agreed, unanimously, to
ascend without it; and at noon they assembled,
with but few exceptions. On their return, on
Wednesday, it was announced that forty-seven,
supposed to be the ringleaders, were publicly e.,
PEELED. A meeting of the students was immedi-
ly called, and it was decided TO attend no Tecita-
tions till this unjus.-nay. outrageous sentence,
was retracted-and so the matter stands, norecita-

EMrcnArroS.-The German emigration of 1921
numbering only 1900; until 1880, there was but
one season that it amounted to 10000, In 1882 it
rose to $4,000; in 1927 $4,000, but fell in 1s43 TO
$4,000; the number then Of persons who, during
the decade closing with that year, went beyond
the seas in search Of better fortune, averaged a.
bout 10000 annually. From this time forth, there
has been rapid increase in the extent Of the emf
grafton. In 1874, Germany sent out in round
numbers, $4,000 emigrant,s in 1s45, $1,000; in ls46
and al, the famine years, more than 1906 200, in
1s4S, '4s and so, the years of revolutionary dis
turbance and political prescription, from 80 600 to
10000, and in 1851 something more THAI $4,000.
1t is calculated that these emigrants have carried
out of Germany, capital to the amount OF Ss0OOO
600. AS is known, Austria has contributed but
slightly to this great movement, to which she has
a double motive of opposition-her desire of set

T. DEaocsArtc REGAR FOR Mr.. WEBsTER.-Tran-
sparencies representing Mr.. Webster in the act of
assisting the Spanish officials in the execution of
the fifty Americans in Cuba have been discovered
in possession of Loci foco committee in Virginia.
They were painted just previous to the Baltimore
Convention, and were in readiness to be used
against Mr.. Webster, In case of his nomination.
We find the above in the telegraphic correspon-
dence of the New York Tribune. The discovery
is in exact keeping with all the antecedents of the
Democrats in relation to Mr.. Webster, and is no.
ticeable only because it illustrates the offensive
hypocrisy which atthis moment characterizes their
leading organs. " ,tqtg

PIETY AND INDIGEsTIoN.-In the Water
Cure Journal, for June, is an article devoted
TO the short lives of Methodist ministers. Ae-
cording to the writer, the most Of our "white
chokers" do not live ont half their DAYS,
most of them being affected with bronchitis,
bilious arrangements, or incipient consump-
tion. These peculiarities he traces to their
food. In doing this, we think he commits
great error. II is not the food, but the man
ner in which it is eaten that causes methOdism
to take on dyspepsia and hollow checks. If
they would mix more cheerfulness with their
meals, and indulge in laughter every time
they partake Of fried sausages, they would
soon find that what now leads to Indigestion
and nightmares, would stock them with double
chins and robustness. Fun is as necessary to
health as good conscience or thick boots,
and the man who breaches differently, sets
up sermons against longevity, and offers a re-
ward for coughs, asthmas, and sickly young
ones.

HoLLYHooKs COMING ON THE STAGE.--The
dahlia is a superb flower, and is rendered more
desirable by its autumnal season. But its
tender roots are great draw back. Were it
floral value even the pseonia. Much attention
has lately been directed to improvements in
the hOiiyhOck, which is likely to rival the
dahlia, with the addition Of hardness. Semi
spherical flowers, exceedingly double, with
closely imbricated petals, with all the various
shades, Of deep and light rose, salmon, claret,
deep crimson, brilliant red, pure white, &c.,
have been produced SO closely packed about
the stem, that a green leaf can scarcely peep
between them, and some fine varieties have
grown nine feet high. A single English cul =
tivator has an acre Of his nursery devoted to
them, six thousand being in splendid bloom
at one time.
