THE BLACK HsaRRfoR caSE.


The Presidents Message to Congress on this
matter will be found in one of our outside col
umns; together with our Havana Consul's mar
rative Of the case. 1t appears to be moderate
and just statement Of thu American side Of the
affair. a
10 will not, however, escape the readers at
tention that it was accompanied by two proba-
nly important documents "a letter Of the Cap
tain General and another of the lntendent or
Collectorl which ought to have been printed
with it, as they no doubt contain the Spanish
view Of the question.
lit must DO remarked, also, that, in the Con-
surs narrative, the important fact appears that
the British steamers have meDer enjoyed the ex-
emption now claimed for ours. The very CON
trary has been olamorously asserted, it is now
clear without any foundation. Our Consul had
It first adopted the assertion; but has now ascer-
tanned the contrary. IT is a point which seems
to us almost decisive of the case.
The measure for redress which the Presidents
message intimates that he has taken no doubt
consists in sending off the Princeton with in
strnctions to Mr.. Soule to press for reparation
and to urge afresh that power shall be delega-
ted to the Captain General to treat with us
directly, mall such cases We're this granted,
it would be giving that officer a sort Kingly
prerogatiye.

He spreads his wings, and the sea grows dark.
And the storm-birds hear the wall;
As suddenly sinks the gallant bark,
Al wrecked by the roaring saie.
What careth he 7 all what careth he?
For The blooi.tears that will flow
For the victims of that wrathfal seu
IT'S he made the tempest blow.
And he loves the cannon's deaf ming boom.
The fash Of the polished steel:
How fast he writes in his book of doom,
And presses his dreadful seal.
And he loves to sec the purple stream
Gush out from the gaping wound;
He laughs at the far-off mothers dream
When he views the cory ground.
And he treads with pride the crowded street,
He breathcs on the ."i: SWEEP air;
Grass springs up al III" press OF Ills feet'
And covers the throuShiare.
For the cav bright throng We look in vain,
And tho lin has died away
The hcarsc slow rumbles without n train,
From morn till the close ofday.
How loud he boasts Of his speed and power,
A. he shakes his whetted dart
With his grains of sand he counts the hour,
And times the throbs Of the hesr:.
And oh how his vauntings ring on the air,
When he finds the wretch forlorn,
Who greets him with the yell of despair,
Cursing the hour no was born.
There glares from bis eyes Il horrid light,
Till with rage they seem to blaze,
When the pale-faoed saint defcs his might,
And meets his menace with praise.
He takes the wreath from the young brides brow
His ~noiseless football she hears;
And he laughs to scorn the plighted vow,
And gems his crown with her tears.
