Important Movement in Ine Senate.


The important feature in the Senate pre-.
| ceedings on Monday was the signili.an,
speech OF Senator SIidelI of Louisiana. ON
the Cuban question. The Union says the
extraordinary disclosures made by the Sen
ator were based upon authentic and unan-
, swerable evidence, which will astonlsh
the country and will shou how steadily.
aud yet steaitlliy, the most INSCRIPTIONS
schemes have been plotted in regard to
Cuba, while al the same time ali three
have protested TO be friendly, and one at
least solemnly denied the very plot which
has NOW been clearly fastened upon all.
The Baltimore Suns correspondents says.
Mr. slldell's speech in support OF this
measure was deliberately protonno, and is
the result OF careful inquiry. He showed.
IRON official and authentic documents, that
England, France and Spain had combined
to AirIcanize Cuba, and that this work,
long contemplated, had now actually COM
menced, and must be arrested by the tin e.
ly inerpositIon of the United States. He
declared that upon occasion of the late out
rage upon the Black warrior, the President
ought to have Immediately blockaded the
ports of Cuba. Mr.. Benjamin seconded
his colleague with much alaeriy, and ac-
corded with him in his facts, though not
prepared to pledge himself to his policy.
Mr.. Mallory, also now admitted the facts,
though heretofore he had doubted whether
Spain could adopt so suicidal a course
Senators Butler and Houston both advoca-
ted an inquiry by the committee. The
whole Senate was at once, alarmed at the
dangerous situation Of 'our Southern Isl
ands." The resolutions passed mem. con.
and we shall have report from the Sen
ate judiciary committe that will serve as a
dealh-knell 10 Spanish dominion in AMER

SLAVERY EXISTING IN NEBRAsKA.-A
letter from William Walker, chief of the
Wyandott tribe of Indians, formerly from
Ohio, says that slavery exists IN Nebraska
among the whites aud Indians lin defiance
of the compromise of 1920. 1t has been
in existence ever since it was organized as
an Indian Territory. True, there is not
many slaves. bat still slavery exists. Some
slaves are held by the Indians BY virtue of
their own laws aud usases, and some by
regular bills Of sale from citizens of Nj isseu-
ri, while white settlers from the latter
State never hesitate to bring them.

Female Education.

There is a radical defect in the education
al system pursued at the fashionable Female
Seminaries of the day--s defect which is
doing more to impair the constitutions of
posterity than all the narcotics and stimu-
lants known to the world. 1t never seems
to enter into the consideration of Princi-
pals and Teachers that the female has
physical IS well as mental being to de-
velop---that the former is more intimately
connected with the health. happiness, and
prosperity of society and individuals than
all the French fernando that can be stuffed
into the brain. The Female institutions of
the present day might with great proprie-
ty be denominated Prison-Houses, where
the mind has to undergo routine of pun
'shment and the body system Of restric-
ton incompatible with the ease, comfort
and proper development of either. The
mind is over-taxed by constant applica-
ton to books, from early dawn to closing
eve, Sundays not excepted. There is no
recitation, but constant straining of the
mental faculties while the body is confined
in the narrow limits Of the building, de-
prlved of the privilege of all physical ex-
ercise. If permitted to walk out, it is
under the most criminal restraint, and with
measured tread that would co honor to
the strIctest military tactcian. TI.ac les

Charge Of Judge Curtis to tho Grand jury
Of Massachusetts .v. :,

BosroN, Oct. l6.--At the opening of the U.
S, Circuit Court this morning, Judge Curtis
charged the Grand Jury, first, in respect to
the attempted rescue of Burns, and next, in
regard to the numerous steamboat accidents,
stating that Notwithstanding the precaution-
airy laws passed by Congress. not single per-
son guilty OF negligence had been convicted
or punished. He held that the laws on this
subject should be vigorously enforced, though
the American people were to blame in desiring
speed rather than safety
He also referred to the laws in force against
fllibustering expeditions, saying that since
the days Of Washington, such expeditions had
by law been declared a high misdemeanor
Its understood that complaints will be sde
to this Grand Jury, against certain persons
who spoke at Faneuil Hall, for being accessory
to the attack upon the Court House. the death
of Gf. Batchelder, and the attempted rescue
of Burns: -
