SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.


The Union discusses Fidelity to the
organization of the Democratic party, to
the voice of the majority, and to the prin-
ciples of the Nebraska bill, essential to
Democratic orthodoxy" In this article
the editor distinctly takes the ground
that the Nebraska bill is Democratic
party test. The same paper contains
two communications, one about the Rus
so-Trrkish war, with the caption "Our
interest requires that the forper should
be successful-our sympathy with the
latter misplaced - and the other" A
word for the clergy" which together fill
more than eight columns of that Journal.
The Infeiligeneer mourns over the pas
sage of the Nebraska bill, while the Sen
tfnei rejoices over the same event.
The Sentinel further essays to give
classification of the party bias of the votes
on the Nebraska bill, making two mis-
takes at least, in so doing. Thus, the
editor says that all but two southern
Democrats voted for the bill. Now, Mr..
Millson voted against it, and NIessrs.
keitt ,H.rris of Mississippi, and Boyd did
not cote. Mr. Boyd being in the chair,
could not vote except in case of tie.
Again, he classes Messrs. Cumming, Rowe,
and Tweed among the Hards voting for
the bill. As the country understands the
distinction between the wings in New
York, those who sustain the administra-
tons, State and National, are Softs
while those who give it both independent
support are Hards. Messrs. c., R., and T.
have always been identified with the for
mer. So they are Softs not Hards. This
makes an entire change in the Sentinel's
programme; showing, as it does, three
Hards only, and six Softs voting for the
bill.

NEWS OF THE MORNING.

Our exchanges come to us this morn
ing well filled with all kinds of probable
and improbable rumors in regard to Cuba
and its future fate. One paper has it that
a civil instruction is to break out in that
beautiful island at an early day-but no
precise day is fixed Another is quite
sure that an American squadron will take
possession of the island before the ad.
journment of Congress. And third in
Inmates that negotiations are on foot for
the purchase of the island at the round
sum ofthree hundred million. We should
like to see member of Congress a
score Of them, as for that matter, asking
for an appropriation of $500, 900, 900 for
The purchase Of Cuba. School BOYS
never purchase fruit when orchards are
within walking distance.
By reference to the Geographic column
ii will be seen that Santa Anna has been
repulsed by Alvarez, aud that his serene
highness has taken, not to his legs, but
10 his leg. This report needs confirma.
ron. In The meantime, no doubt, Mr.
Gadsden will give us practical defni-
ton OF g mastery inactivity"
