G1-The administration has published the diplomat
c correspondence which has taken place between this
government and Spain, in rel alton to the purchase OF
Cuba, since 1922 1t is impossible to conceive what
motives of honorable character could have prompt
ed this steP-none of a patriotic a wise one
called for it. 1t is not usual for government make
public its diplomatic intercourse with another power
without sufficient reason. If this correspondence
has been thrown out with view embarrass the ac-
ton of the administration, it was a cowardly trick
if for the purpose ofarming other powers than Spain
against our acquiring Cuba by purchase or otherwise il
was traitorus; or, if for the purpose of ntimdatine
our own people, It'll weak and ridiculous.
So far as this government has made any public ex
hibition Of its intercourse with Spain in regard to Gu
ba affairs its blazoned with weakness and pusanimity
and treachery to the honor and dignity of the Nation
We glad know that the time is short for the
ent administration for gross outrages have beer
committed upon people unatoned for, than can be
pointed out as happening during any twenty years

(ETThe Lemmon's negro case, recently decided in
New York city, the history of which we have publish
ed seems to have excited perfect tornado of passion
in certain Southern editors Now this is not only con-
temptible in ITSELF but it is upon "destiny" If
the South will persist in holding social and commercial
intercourse with people who permit laws that robs
any American citizen of his property while passing
business pleasure through any State of this Union
to remain their statute books she deserve just the
same treatment LENNON met with: But this is in
the opinion of the Union conservaors, nothing it is
wrong they say, to treat Southern so, and they'll
fume little, blow their nose, and when asked hal
they'll do, will whine out that more healthy public
opinion is obtaining at the North. and re Uniun

pede the free unmolested transfer of property any
where under the shadow of the flag of the

shall hear but seldom of the Lennon cases. Shut
your ports against your New York vessels shut your
doors against New York goods quit your traffic with
New York merchants, manufacturers and mechanics
and no more negroes the property of American cit

The Presidential Campaign has been
fairly commenced-both parties have no.
minated their candidates, and the contest
will undoubtedly be spirited one 1t

sary that they should inform themselves,
as much as possible, of the merits of each.
These will be thoroughly discussed by the
public press, which will be the best me-
dunn through which the desired informa-
ton can be obtained.

reach of every man in the country, we
propose to furnish the Register, for the
campaign, at the low price of so cts.
INVARIABLY IN ADVANCE, from our first is
sue in July, which will be on the 7thr

November.
Copies will be furnished for $500.
For this low price, the Register can be

campaign. Who will not take it ?

This is the third new paper in North

OF Gen. Scott, too much is known 70
require any Iotice at our hands HIS VIC
tories on the6eld Of battle are familiar 10
the worlds reputation as q military
chieftain, is second to mono in the universe;
but unfortunately, his vanity, and imoe-
cility upon all other matters, are equally
notorious. While Gen. Scott has no SUI
periors as soRier, but little else can be
said in commentator of him. The re-
ception of the news of his nomination. has
been various. II some Of the northern
cities and towns, t has been enthusiastic
but in others cold; and Notwithstanding
the platform, he il received very coolly
by the South, with few exceptions. The
probability is that tc will not get single
southern State.
The Wing candidate for Vice President,
is Hon VIM. A. Gralam, of North Caro-
lima, the present Secretary of the Navy
Mr.. Graham is gentleman of considera-
BILE ability, and has had some experience
in public life, during which, according tc
our recollection, he has been more cele'
brated for doing no particular harm, than
for doing any positive good. In 1871 he
was chosen to fill vacancy in the United
States Senate, and served through the me
morable 9th Congress. In 1914 he was
elected Governor, and re elected 1885,
He declined third term, and retired tC
private life. In 1850, on the accession o
Mr.. Fillmore to the Presidential chair, he
was called to the Cabinet, to fill the pos
of Secretary of the Navy. which he still
holds.
On the whole, the ticket is not such al
one as the national Wings had right t.
expect. For while Gen. Scott may no
be positive abolitionist, he has beer
know to favor them, and has been brough
forward by that portion of the Wing par
ty and he is VIGOROUSLY destitute o
craftsmanship. Mr.. Graham is not al
objectional man, but the subordinate sta
ton to which he has been nominated fail
to compensate the loss of reliable MAJ
for the Presidency.

PRESERVING SnEEp FROM Do0s.-Hayc
any of our farmers tried the following
plan to keep dogs away from their sheep.
Let me publish to the sheep raising
world, a remedy against the destruction
of sheep by dogs, which was given TO me
by a highly respectable and valuable
friend himself an extensive grower. It
consists simply in placing on one Of tho
sheep in every ten of the flock, a bell Of
unusual size for sheep. The instinct Of tie
dog prompt him to do all his acts in a sly
stealthy manner-his attack upon the
sheep are most frequently made at night
while they are at rest, and simultaneous
jingling Of all the bells strikes terror To-
the dogs, they turn tails and leave the
sheep, fearing the noise of bells win lead
to the exposure. The ratio Of bells may
be made to vary according to Che size Of
the flock. The Importance Of sheep pre-
servation from dogs, the writer hopes
will claim for this Communication an In.

An Editorial appeared in my paper

in relation to Charles s. Lewis, Esqr. In
Dolbeare's Journal of the e8th of Nav a
reply appeared to my said editorial, over
the signature of Vindicus." And to
this communication a reply appeared in
the editorial columns Of the Central Stan
dard of this morning.
In the editorial of the 1st Of May in.
tended to be understood as referring only
to the political character and renown OF
Mr.. Lewis, and intended to cast no i'm
putation on the personal character of Mr..
Lewis or his ancestry, as l indicated in
my editorial of this morning. At the
time of penning the editorial Of this NOR
ming, thought had some reason 10
suppose that Mr.. Lewis was the author
of "Vindicus." / am now satisfied he
was not and that did him Justice in
my said editorial, and l will further state
that consider Mr.. Lewis man of honor
and gentleman A.; and for the personal
character of those of his ancestry whom /
have the pleasure of having known 1 en-
terrain the highest respect And / here
by eheerfully withdraw any expressions
contained in either of said editorials sus-
ceptible of a personal construction.
