This Country and Cuba

Mr.. Dean, { Dem.) of New York, has

Committee on Foreign Affairs to inquire

and par'icu arly whether our Neutrality
law, as regards Spain, ought to be repeal

II is thought it will pass.

adopt vigorous measures in the case o

Homestead Bill.

This bill passed the House of Repre-
senlatives on Monday by a vote of l07
to 70. 1t provides that any free white
man or woman who is the head of fans
lily, or who is 81 years of age and citi-
zen Of the Union. shall be entitled TO l6O
acres of the vacant and unoccupied pub
lie lands, free Of cost, upon the simple
condition of settling upon it TO live; and
this land cannot be taken from him or her
for any debt previously contracted. Bu
all foreigners not already naturalizej, are
excluded. So are free negroes and mu-
lanoes. We doubt whether the bill can
pass the Senate. The measure, in our
opinion, is clearly demanded by the pop
uIal sentin. ent of 'he countA as well as
its true interests; but the So is getting

Ohio in the Senate,

A correspondent of the New York
Times gives a sketch of debate in the
Senate, in which the Hon. 3. F. Wade
made some capital hits 1t reminds me
of the sallies of our own "wagon boy"
We give the extract:
Senator Wade made q capital argument
against the bill, on Friday night, ha nd.
ling the subject with remarkable skill,
and by his ready wit, prompt reparlees
aud pointed sarcasm, reminding his audi
tors Of gifted son of Ohio, not now a
member Of the Senate. One or two OF
his points are TOO good 10 be lost. Mr.
Badger had drawn glowing picture o:
'he institution of slavery, telling, in the
course of his remarks, OF his good ole
"mammy." the negro nurse no had nurs
ed him from childhood, and who, he bit
terly complained, he could not take will
him into Nebraska, if the opponents o
the bill succeeded in securing The prohi
bition Of Slavery therein. Mr.. Wad
found but one difficulty iii the case. No
body had any objection to the Senator
taking his dear, affectionate, "mamma,
no Nebroska with him, and nobody wou
think Of interfering to preveting it. Th
only difficulty that the Senator woul
meet, was, that "that he couldn't sell he
when he got her there" Roars of laugh
ter greeted the particularly ridiculous a
sirude in which this sadly placed the Ser
ator from North Carolina. At anolhe
time Mr.. Wade was arguing to show thu
slaves were not property in the constitu
ii nal meaning of the term. If a ma
carried his horse from slave State, h
did not lose his property interest in him
out if he carried his slave into free State
the law made him free at once.
Mr.. Butler, interposing, said: ''Yes, BIT
they won't stay with you, they will com
back in spite of you,'
Mr.. Wade responded, amid roars-"O

which have been msgnsnimously forgiv-

she has chosen 10 inhict upon he Amsri'

are thus briefly narrated by the cores
Pondent Of the N. Y. Herald:
The Black UmriOr has been seized as
a prize, BY order Of the Cap ain Gener-
al, and the steamer Coricin sails tbs Of.
lernoon al Eve O'clock. with her mails,
for Charleston The Black Warrior has
been abandoned by her officers and crew
under protest, and is al this moment in full
possession Of the Spanish Government.
viii not attempt 10 give you all The ru-
mors afioat relative TO The matter; they
are very contradictory, and some are high.
y exaggerated. The facts are bad enough
and are, simply. that the vessel came here
on the 18Th, as usual, TO land and take
passengers aud letters only. believe
she is entered and cleared in ballast; but,
inasmuch as she has cotton on board as
ireight-although il was not shipped for
or intended to be landed here yet the au.
lhorities make this the excuse for con.
demn'ng her as smuggler. Ii is posi-.
BILE that the act may Noble in strict accord
ance with the letter of their law, but il
certainly is in direct violation Of the spir-
it, and also the usage and custom of all
uations and all time. The agent Of the
Black Warrior desired, so as 10 satisfy the
authorities, to alter the manifest in con-
formily with their pretended wishes, but
he was not, permitted to do SO; The prize
was not to be lost SO easily; and this op-
portuni,y to demonstrate to the American
Government, the perfect contempt in which
they are held by the Spanish rulers Of this
island was not permiued % pass.
The SENATE of the United States, on
lea fning the above fact, promptly and
unanimously required the President to
furnish whatever information he might
possess touching the subject.
If the report above given be true. Cuba
will be made to pay dearly for her wanton
and atrocious conduct. The American
people are tired of dallying with this
guerilla nation.
