The statement that the next Legislature will, be-
cause Of its majority being whiggish in character,
repeal the law calling convention, is all mo0nshine
The Legislature has not the power to do so, in the
first place and, secondly, not q few wings, now
that q convention has been called, and there is o
good Oh ance of their party controlling it, desir
GUS that it should meet in the hope and expectation

have only touched upon the question Of town
representation, and must defer what have to say
upon it to some other opportunity. It lies at the
bottom of the whole of this matter, and is the
point that will give the convention more trouble to
settle, than all others combined. Our government
is based upon the stence OF these little commun
ties, and pretty much all that Is good in 1t is at
tributable to the existence oftowns. They are the
decentrazing element of the country, and rs such.
cur people are strongly opposed to any attempts to
reduce their importance by the introduction here Of
the district system of representation. ALdoAA.

CUBAN SroRIEs.-It will be recoected that, pending
the last " Fillbuster" movement, which duped off so
many young Americans to be shot imprisoned in Cuba
all sorts of letters and stories put afoat in the
American papers as from Cuba. There was nothing so
absurd published that did find creduous believers
caution against like creduty now can be found in
the positive contradiction of the insults said to be il
fcted on the barque Elizabeth Jane.
There is large number of Cuban exiles in the United
States who mean to get back anyhow and who make
the thing certain mean if Trey cam to make the United
States fight their battles Hnce the terrible tales every
arrival purports to bring from Cuba They all
be received with the greatest caution and It be
membered that the most Of them manufactured for
the American market.
That the Crescent Ciy had been fired into the most Of
people here believed prior her arrival positive
y the thing asserted and likely did it to be
from the Black Warriors report Of Spanish manofwar
cruising off the harbor Even the stock market af
feced and shaken by the positive report and anticipation
Of trouble The state of facts however reported
by the Crescent City herself told altogether another tale
and quite revvifed the market
It is thing to sympahize with these exiles and to
wish better Government for their country but atogeh
another thing be duped by actions and
stories.-Neu York Express.
