A WAR FOR CUBA.--The moment the
Nebraska iniquity is consummated, if it
should be consummated, the Administration
will seek to distract public attention from
that abhorred deed by getting up row with
Spain. Whether this will be pushed to the
point of actual war is not yet certain but
the President and his advisers hope and ex-
pect it will. They have resolved to impose
on the feeble and decrepitSpanish government
conditions which cannot be accepted with
out disgrace, and insist on every iota of
them to the last Should Spain refuse them,
war is to be made, and Cuba seized if posi-
ble-and the projectors entertain no doubt of
our ability to oyerrun and subjugate that
island in six weeks from the declaration
at all events. before any reinforcements from
Spain can reach it. This achievement, by
adding about fifth to the slaveholding ter
ritory and population of the Union, is ex-
peCted to unite the South under the flag of
Pierce & Co., and drown the Nebraska ex-
citement at the North in the cry of " Our
Country, right or wrong? Hurrah for Cuba
and manifest destinyw Such, we are well
assured, is the programme agreed on at the
White House; and it is an even chance
that we shall be at war with Spain on the
lst Of July N. Y. Tribune.

THE CALoRIc SHIP AT THE NAVY YARD
Yesterday afternoon the Ericsson was towed
to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and to-day she
was taken into the Naval Dry Dock for re =
pairs. 1t is impossible yet to ascertain the
extent of her damage by sinking in the
North river. She was admitted into the
dock, we understand, only on the ground
that there was no sectional dock on the
East river vacant at the present time.

The SPRINGFIELD CATTLE SHow-The

charge of this exhibition, and have fixed
upon the 25th, 26th and 9th of September
next as the days upon which it shall be held
The premiums amount in the aggregate to
$4,000, and there is no restriction as to
competition. Twenty acres of ground have
been enclosed, and three hundred stalls will
be prepared for the exhibition. As Spring
field is easily reached from all points by
railroad, the exhibition will doubtless be
we'll attended, and the show an interesting
and attractive one. The cattle raisers of

spirit with which they have entered into this
enterprise, and we trust that their highest
hopes from it will be fully realized. - Xenia

Foreign Bank Bills.

the circulation of great mass of very trashy
looking bank bills from other states, and oc-
casionally bank in distant state breaks,
and the people of Ohio are almost certain to
be heavy losers by it. This state of things
has been growing gradually worse for some
years-ever since the recommencement of
the war of party upon the Ohio banks. There
is need of some remedial measures doubtless,
but that the public demand or will will
hngly approve of such a law as the one
passed by the late Legislature, and published
in this paper, (No. 72,) we do not yet believe.
All persons should read and become familiar
with this law, for it must be submitted to-

Its provisions are stringent, not to say ty
rannical, and if Ohio bank paper do not be-
come more plentiful than it is or has been
lately, either specie must fill up the vacuum
caused by the expulsion of most Of the pres
ent currency, or else money must become
extremely scarce and business suffer in con-
sequence, The law is too ingeniously sha-
ped, and offers too high premium for dis
honor and treachery, and is too spiteful and
savage in its warfare upon " associated
wealth" as we'll as associated enterprise, to-
be evaGed or disregarded. 1t creates most
detestable espionage into every mans busi-
ness, and pensions spy to watch like cut
purse the movements of every man suspect
ed Of handling funds. Itdeclares worthless,
and forbids men to deal in, species of cur
rency which the common sense of every man
teaches him is valuable and convenient, (al-
though involving risk,) and it thus infringes
both freedom and truth. 1t comes with spe-
cial grace and consistency from class Of
politicians who have proverb that " the
world is governed too much!'
The last clause of the 5th section land
there may be others) is no doubt nconsttu-
tional, for it undertakes to invalidate notes,
securities and obligations" while sec, %,
art. 2, of our new constitution, says that the
general assembly shall have no power TO pass
claws impairing the obligation of contracts. D
But 1t is not every man, company or bank,
that desires the the trouble and expense of
carrying a suit to the supreme court frequent
ly, TO get clear of the exactions and oppres-
sions heaped by our lawmakers upon certain
kinds of business men. Men thus systemat-
ically harassed and hunted down, will leave
the state with their capital the first conven-
lent opportunity they have. A judicious re-
strictive law on this subject would have
been valuable, but this is worse than none.

 The success hitherto enjoyed by the author of the above popular works is sufficient guarantee of the favor with which any production coming from his pen will be received by the public The Cabin Boys Story is romantic narrative illustrating the hor- TOTS of the slave trade carried on in the coast of Africa. The author has served in the navy-and the descriptions and characters are painted from personal acquaintance with them The story is full of exciting interest and adventure as the celebrated work of De- foe Robinson Crusoe," and has the advantage over that glorious felton, inasnuch it is founded upon facts of every day occurrence. The history of the heroine of the Story Zuleka, the Circassian Slave purchased at Constantinope, educated and married by the reckless, yet chivaric Seymour-the comman- der of the Albatross is simply the narration of fact painted from the fe and all the numerous characters portrayed throughout the story wildly and graph ically drawn.
 The publishers have already received orders for the whole ofthe edition it originally their intention to publish; consequently, they have been obliged large y to increase it. and they respectfully request that all orders may be sent in immediately. They confidently expect that the work will create as much interest as any work of fiction that has of late years emanated from the press as nowithstand- ing, since the publication of '' Uncle Tom's Cabin, i" works relating to slavery in America, pro and con, none have appeared having relation to the system of purchasing slaves the African Coast, written by who has witnessed it in all its hideous deformty The work is written in chaste and pure language and will be welcome and instructive addition to the fa miy library.
