1t is asserted than Pinto, in his relations
as secretary of Concha, was possessed of
evidence going to show that Concha him
self had medratcd treason against the Span
ish government, and The establishment of
dictatorship over Cuba. To Concha's gull
ty soul he was therefore continual dread.
Hence the resort to such proceedings against
him. and the isndsh malignity with which
he pursued him to his death. He was de-
termined to rid himself of the witnesses to
his crime at all hazards, and without regard
to law or right.

refused, and the caulkcrs left the yard
Orders have since been given not to admit
them to the navy yard for any purpose, and

this order was given, two of the number
were taken back into the yard. Efforts
have been made 70 supply the places of
those who have leh |; although the country
has been secured, but II men have been
found who would, under the circumstances,
enter the yard consequently the work up
on the new frigate will bo delayed, and It

THE Cosr OF Provisions. while
we are paying in the Washington markets
from IL to l8 cents per pound for beef,
from 80 to 40 cents for butter, from 90 to
10 cents peck for potatoes, and unspeak-
ably high prices for -four, and every thing
else essential to our existence, plan to re-.
duce the cost of these things may not be
disregarded; and we are grattfed to learn
from the New York Times that good plan
has been devised either to do this or to give
the producers of the articles we consume
the benefit of the existing high prices. 1t
appears that the editor Of the Express Mes
senger has had several hundred blanks
printed and circulated among the numerous
express agents in the Western agricultural
towns and villages, with request that they
should be filled up with the prices current
in their respective. localities. The result is
a Rural District Prices Current, compris.
ing returns from hundred localities. By
this prices current it appears that in nu-
merous places accessible to New York by
the cheapest railrond lines, and hence not
very inaccessible to any of the larger cities,
the prices of butter, poultry, &c. are only
about half of what the samc articles
command in tho New York markets. For
instance, stable butter" is quoted by many
OF the local express agents at from five to
seven cents per pound chickens at from
$l.2o to $l.5o per dozen and turkeys
at 81 cents each and this in localities
whence freight to New York does not cost
more than two or three dollars per hundred
weight. ,.
We fully recognize the useful agency Of
market dealers in this and every other COM
munity; but if they, or the persons from
whom they purchase, are not satisfied with
such moderate profits as the people OF the
cities can afford to pay, it is important
that we should know The fact and seek an
adequate remedy Tor the evil. The two

fcient to meet the wants of his family,
