settlement OF the Case of the Rack WARRIOR
The Cuban Commission.


The reference made elsewhere to the Culan
question will acquant our readers with the po-
sition it now occupies, and the progress
our negotiations with Spain. We learnt yeste
day that, notwithstanding the reluctance of the
Spanish government, full slt!sfacto for the
Black Warrior outrage had been either pro-
missed or made already, and that this crafty
ing termination to this troublesome matter was
due to the Interference Of the British govern
ment, whose anxiety lest we should have any
cause Of quarrel with Spain seems to have
reused her ambassador to unu .ual vigilance
We are now informed that the settlement of
this question win in no wise initiate against or
interfere with the appointment of the commits
sion to Madrid. 1t is UNDERSTOOD. that the
Office will still be offered to Messrs. Cobb and
Dallas; and as there seems to be no probability
of these gentlemen declining the post we may
venture to suppose that before many days
elapse, they will take their departure for the

outrages on our flag, insults offered TO our cit-
zens, and cases Of malteatment of American
sailors Messrs. Cobb and Dallas Will have their
hands full il they intend to assert our rights ia
anything like American style.
AT the same time, we must caDdidly COMES,
that we regard the prosecution OF these claims

BRIMsroSE CoRNER.-This is the very ap-
propriate title Of the corner of Boston street,
on which the church Of Theodore Parker is
situated.
A friend informs us Of an incident connected
with this same abolition cathedral which strict
ly illustrates abolition consistency. An indi.
vidual who had attended the church, but found
the ultraism bearing altogether too strong for
his own capacities of endurance, offered his
pew for sale, but was for long time unable to
find purchaser He at length hit upon the
curious expedient of a sham sale Of the pew to
a negro, enjoining upon him to occupy the
pew, with his wife and children, every Sunday,
till further orders. The pew was in most
conspicuous and eligible situation, and when,
on the succeeding Sunday, the son Of Africa
and his wife took possession, they were the
observed of all observers" a
1t was not many minutes before the occu-
pants of neighboring pews vacated their places,
and the looks Of Indignation and disgust they
cast upon the intruders, exhibited the true
character Of their abolition philanthropy. The
next time the negro attended church, be found
the pew door locked, but he lifted his affec.
tomato spouse and sable cherubs over the in
closure, then followed himself listening with
great edifcation to the abolition theories from
the pulpit, in such strange contrast with the
practice Of the people. The third attempt of
the negro to attend service was successfully de-
feated by locking the church door upon him
and the upshot Of the matter was, that the pow
owners trick was entirely successful, and the
abolitionists gave him three prices for his pew,
in order TO prevent the abolition theory from
being practically illustrated. This is but An
example ont Of q thousand, Of the incerity and
inconsistency Of abolitionism.- Ledger.

Mr. F. said that this bill was prepared by the
War Department, aided by the best iniellects and
most matured military experience of the country.
Il passed the Committee on Military Affairs Of the
Senate, Cat the head of which is General SmELDs,)
unanimously and he might say il passed the Sen
ate Itself unanimously. Ii had, too, received the
approval of the chairman Colonel BIssELL of the
House Committee on Military Affairs, whom they
all knew 10 be statesman and soldier.
He desired TO say that the last section Of the
bill TO create sixtyIwo additional cadets had been
stricken out by the last named committee the
the object being TO open lorthe rank and file of
the army preferment and distinction; 80 that
young man of courage and enterprise, who has
not political patronage 10 send him to West Point,
may, by his own good sword, seek his fortune in
the rank and file, and by his meriis attain TO the
highest post and distinction in the army. As far
as he was informed, of five hundred and ninety
two officers in the army, but nineteen of them
came from the ranks, and they were promoted by
special provisions passed during the war Of 1912,
and the Mexican war. ~
He explained the provisions of the bill, saying
the first section for the increase of the pay Of
the army, from the private up 10 the major gene
raj giving the former ten instead of seven dollars
month. He showed the necessity for increasing
the pay Of the privates, as five thousand men are
now required TO fill up the ranks of the army,
small as it is. Recruiting has become worse and
worse, and for all practical purposes the recruit
ing Offices might as well be closed. He likewise
said the bill proposed TO pay bounty reenlist-
ments. if acbtA
Mr.. GROW opposed the increase of the pay of
all those who receive over forty dollars month,
while he would increase the pay OF all who re-
ceive less than that sum. He did not see why
MAJOR general should receive sixty five dollars
month additional, while the pay of a private was
increased merely from seven TO ten dollars.
Mr.. PHELPS obtained the floor.
, The House, on motion, adjourned.
