ANOTHER REVOLUTION IN THE ISLAND OF
CUBA.-There are great many rumors in cir
culation in reference to the island of Cuba, and
the foreign invasion and internal revolution
which is ready at any moment to annihilate
Spanish dominion there. We do not believe,
however, that there is the slightest real founda-
ton for such reports, or that Queen Isabella or
Captain-General Canedo may entertain any
very serious dread of their being verified.
These rumors are all sham, and are only got
up to influence in a particular manner the deli.
berations Of the next Congress on the question
nf Cuha

the conviction that all the cry for reform was
positive humbug. and that they who believe in
1t VIII IND themselves egregiously deceived.
The Russ PAvEMENr-AN ExrRAoRp1NARY
DECIsIoN-The decision recently made in the.
Supreme Court. in this city. confirming the in
junction granted against the prosecution Of the
Russ pavement in the Bowery, lays down
principle of law which, were it sustained, would
neutralize the action of this or any other legis-
lative body to which it should be applied This
principle is, in effect, that tax payer has q
right to object to any contract made by the
city government; and that such objection or
complaint is sufficient grounds for o court to
issue an injunction restraining the carrying
into effect of the contract. This puts it into
the power of any Individual to paralyze the ac-
ton OF the city government, and to render mu-
nicipal legislation nullity. Such legal de-
cision is not only opposed to common sense,
but according to the best authorities is at vari-
ance with the daily recognized principles Of
common law.
However, we must be prepared to receive
some strange legal decisions from time to time,
OWluS 10 Tue moue Wy WHICH, JuuReb are uOW
appointed. The popular election Of Judges has
always been considered by the most liberal
minded men as very doubtful system under any
form ofgovernment but more particularly under
democratic form of government The practical
application of such system in this city Is
even more Objectionable than the principle. In
general terms, how are judges nominated in the
city of New York? BY committees selected by
few individuals at grog shops. These nomi-
nations have been. heretofore, generally pretty
fair, owing to the influence merely of past his.
tory; but these Evolutionary influences will soon
be destroyed before the more powerful in
fuences created by little conventions held in
different parts of the city, and ruled by some
grog shop politicians. In fact, the popular
election of judges can only be well carried into
effect in thoroughly vrtuous community,
where nothing but morality and good sense
can operate. Now we know, in political affairs,
how much grog shop influence prevails in all
nominations; and as natural consequence, we
must expect to find in course of time, in all
legal decisions, some characteristics Indicative
OF, and referrable to,the system by which judges
are now appointed to Office That Of the Su-
preme Court in the Russ pavement matter is
one of the most extraordinary in our recollec-
ton.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1853-11-18

Our PROSPECTS, OF MUNICIPAL REFoRM-The
more we examine and reflect upon our chances
Of obtaining any decided Improvement over the
old system Of city government by the new char
ter, and the new corporation elected under it,
the less faith are we disposed to place on the
realization of those desirable amelorations. The
Journal Of Commerce had an article, few
days ago, on this interesting subject of good
city government. in which that journal recon-
mended the organization and Building up of a
clique. or party. outside of the corporation, to
control and influence its proceedings. 1t was
the attempts already made to bring the city
under the improper influence of the corporation
which have produced the difficulties with all
the preceding reform movements and it is only
by full. fair and comprehensive discussion of
every measure introduced into the body and
by the action Of public sentiment upon it, that
we can gain any reform in the corporation. But
there is no great cause for expecting any i'm
provement to take place in our city govern
ment, and we should be very agreeably disap-
pointed, indeed, il any marked change for the
better shall be manifested.
The great difficulty in the way Of good mu-
nicipal government in New York has been in.
creasing Of late years, in consequence OF the in
fuence of demagogues and the multiplicity
the executive heads of the city. The corpora
ton, under the new charter, is possessed of
merely legislative powers; and the executive
power It is much more important to have vested
in the one chief magistrate is divided among
number Of different departments. each indepen-
dent of the other and of the corporation. The
Mayor possesses one species of power the Comp.
troler possesses another and the heads ofthe diff
ferent departments have specified powers ofther
own. From this then can result nothing but disor-
der, confusion, and evil The action Of one may,
and does, neutralize that Of the other Aud,
indeed, we have a manifestation of the effect of
the system in the entire management Of city af-
fairs and in the clashing Of the different an
thorities and the diaereut departments. This
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1853-11-18

is an anomaly in the government, and can never
turn out well. We are, therefore, forced into
the conviction that all the cry for reform was
positive humbug and that they who believe in,
it will find themselves egregiously deceived.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1853-11-18

VINO crammed him with tales OF what had been
done for him by corrupt coalitions Of men of OPP
posite principles constantly reminded that after
Marcy and Van Buren, his success was due to
the Baltimore Platform and Providence: and
being in plain words, simple minded man, of
small political experience, and judging of the
word from what he saw in the little State of
New Hampshire. General Pierce fell fairly into
the trap, and laid his own rejecting faculties on
the shelf His thinking was thenceforth done
by the coalition Of spois-seekers. He never
tried-or if he did, he soon abandoned the at
tempt-to reason out for himself the real causes
Of his elevation from the rank Of petty lawyer
in Concord to that Of President of the United
States, or the realiwil and purpose of the people
in electing bin. 1t may have flashed upon him
at times that he had done nothing to merit SO
striking compliment as his nomination, and
that the fact might possibly be due to the
case with which the wire-pullers thought
he might be managed. 1t may also have
occurred to him, in idle moments, that the IN
paralelled unanimity Of opinion which elected
him could hardly be due to the collective exer-
tions Of parcel of men who, individually had
no influence to speak Of He may have glanced
at the platform which he was told had done so
much for him; and seeing what close resem-
bance it bore to that of the wings, he may
have wondered how the same sentiments should
ensure defeat in the one case and triumph in
the other. He may even have allowed his
thoughts to wander back to the scenes of 1850,
and wondered whether the great contest which
was then terminated by the patriotism of Cal
houn Clay, Cass, and Webster, had not had
something to do with his success
/. We say, these thoughts may have crossed his
mind: for it is possible that the delusion in
which he set out may have held too complete
sway over bis faculties to permit any indcpen-
dent exercise Of reasoning power. If he ever
did indulge them, they were promptly checked
by the Baltimore spoils seekers and their friends
He was told daily and hourly that the Bals-
more platform and the Baltimore coalition had
elected him, and that no other principle and no
