SLAVERY IN CUBA.

1t appears that the views of the Spanish Minis
ter of State given in our last have been perver
ted by the Paris Presse, in transatng the Spanish
word dejar into continue instead of cease Thus
corrected, it follows that Spain has no idea of alb
olshing slavery in Cuba Indeed, the New York
Herald contains the correct text, from the Gazette
de Madrid, of Senior Luzuraga's remarks, in which,
while he condemns the slave trade, and says the
government is firmly decided to maintain the trea-
ties on the subject sle admits that slavery itself is
a necessity in Cuba and lie gives to the proprie-
tors there the assurance that the institution will not
be touched.
But whatever may be declarations Of the gov
eminent ON the subject, the slave trade will not be
broken up. The civilized world knows that the
Queen Mother has herself been largely engaged in
this trade and that the greater portion of her in
come is drawn from this source. Besides, it is
stated by those who we'll informed on the sub
ject, that slavery could not be perpetuated in Gu
ba without the slave trade. If Cuba belonged to
the United States, if she were State of the
Union the trade in slaves from the Southern States
would sustain the institution there, while it would
not injuriously affect the institution here.
B In another part OF the Standard of to-day
will be found some developments in the shape Of
Know Nothing progressiveness, which will arrest
the attention of our readers. Read the article
from the Boston Advertiser, together with that
from the New York Herald, which follows it.
There further facts broug hit to light by the Ad
vertiser, which may give hereafter. &c The theo-
ry,"-says the Richmond Enquirer, referring to
this affair" that every mans house is his castle is
correct, provided the occupant does not worship
God according the dictates of his own conscience"
But this specimen of intolerance and meanness
is worthy of the sons Of the Salem witch
of those men who scourged Roger Williams, the
Baptist, out of their colony because he could not
believe in religious matters as they did, and COM
PEELED him to seek shelter and protection among
the savages of Rhode Island. Alas for the man
hood of Massachusetts, What would the great
Webster say if now living? How would he seorn
and trample under foot such doctrines as those
which are protested and carried out by the Know
Nothings of Massachusetts, LIN

SAYS that the Sherln or Cumberland, acting as he
stated, under instructions from the Attorney Gen
eral collected no tax goods merchan-
die of the growth manufacture of this State
not even liquors made in this State; and only
purchases of foreign liquors made since the 18th of
March, ult, the day which the Revenue law
went into effect.
Hence the amount received by him was only
about So, OOO instead of SIS, 900 $40, 000 which
the law would have drawn from the Fayetteville
merchants if it had been executed according to the
common understanding of its provisions
Our Sheriff. acting under the same instructions
from the Attorney General, placed entirely diff
ferent construction on the law.-WM Herald.
HIGH PR1cEs-The Warrenton News gives the
following of the sale of the slaves of Major
N. T. Green, of that comfy, on the 22d and 23d
inst, which shows that the hard times have not
affected the value of negro property much
He sold sxty-nne slaves for the enormous sum of
$1,000 40. making an average OF $739 90: Of
these % were under and over 30 years of age.
The most valuable house servants were not sold.
Three fellows brought the rise of $4,67O-3, So, 900
and $4,000. Girls from IA to 16 years of age,
$1,000 each.
The terms were ~ months credit with interest
from date with bonds with good security, butamany
preferred paying cash, as we learn eight or ten
thousand were paid up. Although these negroes
were very likely, looked well, were Of good charac
ter and warranted. STILL taking it all together, it was
the highest sale we ever heard of and argues well
for the prosperity of our county and State, not
one was sold out of the latter 1t should also, in
justice to the humanity ofMajor Green be stated
that they sold in families of 2, 8, a and as
high as six.
MAD SToNE-By communication in the Argus

it will cure hydrophobia, or at least prevent it.
Many persons who were bitten. by mad dogs have
visited Virginia, to avail themselves of a stone of
this descriptibn, and iraculous escapes from most
horrible death are reportcd.-Fay. GaaotiniGn.

THUNDER CoMINGi

The following card from Mr.. Tate, of Haywood
county, (says the last Ashevile News, is only the
precursor of many more such blasts, which WILDE
heard before the first day of August. Honest,
unsuspectng men may be ured into Know Moth
ing lodges but when they learn the truth, they
WILL like American freemen, shake off the letters
with which political tricksters have sought to bind
their will and their consciences. We are informed
that Mr. Tate is respectable citizen, and that his
statements are entitled to the fullest credit:
WAYNEsvILLE, N. c., March %, 1866.
Mr.. EDITOR believing it to be the duty of eve
ry citizen to expose the and tricks
of designing men and politicians, l ask you to give
place in your paper to this note.
Not long since, at the urgent and repeated solicit
tation of certain persons, was induced to join the
society commonly called the order of Know Moth
ings, lately established in this county After being
initiated soon found that the whole object and aim
were entirely different from what had been repre-
sented to me. While do not admit that the oath
of secrecy administered to at the time of my in
itiation Considering the fraudulent manner in which
was induced to take IT'D ought to restrain me from
speaking freely, if think it necessary, nevertheless
forbear to go into details 1t is sufficient for me
to say, that am satisfied that the whole scheme is
a cunning device of unsuccessful politicians, who
hope by cheating and deceiving the people to get
into office. They expect by secret oaths to get the
control of the votes of American feemen, and thus
but as the managers of the order may direct. l
therefore advise all honest men to keep out of the
concern, and to retain in their hands the right
that belongs to every citizen of this Union.
RUSSELL TATE
@- In notice of the proceedings of the Ex-
ecutive Committee Of the State Agricultural So
ciety last week, nothing said of the action of
that body in relation to the adoption of organ,
which, it is understood, was of the objects for
which the Committee was called together. We
have since learned, and as it is a matter in which
the public concerned, state, that when
the subject was brought before the Committee
the choice being between The North Carolina
Arator" and The Carolina Cultvator ut was
ascertained that decided majority of the Commit
tee in person or by proxy, would vote for " The
Arator;" and had the vote been taken and the
proxies been received it would have stood, seven
or eight for adopting " The Arator." Seeing this
would be the result, friend of Mr.. Cooke objec-
ted to receiving proxies on the ground that there
was no express provision for voting by proxy in
the Constitution the friends of Mr.. Lemay not
being disposed to press vote upon that question:
unexpectedly sprung upon them, agreed to a
postponement of the matter until The End Of May,
when the Committee will again assemble to decide
the question.

signaly failed. They selected, for Commissioners,
two of their number and Mr.. Redmond, Dem
ocrat, who as the Southerner says, "spurns the
order and holds their principles in utter detesta-
ton but they were handsomely defeated. The
true American ticket elected, as follows: Ma
gstrate CT Police, John Norheet; Commissioners,
James Michigan, N. Matthewson, and B. w. Ma

long residence, by industry, by unmpeachable
character, and by that most sacred of es-marriage

From MAssAcHUsETrs--The House of Repre-
sentatives passed to its third reading the 18th
inst. bill allowing coored children to be admitted
to the public schools of Massachusetts, Free
proes, them to be exalted to seats side by side
with the white children of the Commonwealth;
but white Catholics are to be spied upon and per-
secuted, and no foreign born person is to be per-
mitted to vote, if Massachusetts can prevent it,
until he shall have been in the country twenty-one
years
The House had assigned Tuesday yesterday
for hearing of the reports of the Commissioners
in the of Judge Loring. The 5th was the
annual fast day, and all business suspended.
"Scribes, pharisees hypocrites !" A Correspondent
of the Herald, referring to this fast day, says -
