OuR LAST CUBAN DIFFGcrLTY.-The
case of Mr.. Thompson, u S. Vice Con-
sui at Sagua la Grande, who was arrested
and marched to Havana prisoner, for
refusing to take from his door front the
arms of the United States, has been wide
ly commented upon, and the general mind
of the public, possessing no other informa-
ton than this upon the subject, has been
struck with surprise at the audacity of the
outrage. 1t is proper, therefore, to cal!
attention to the fact that Spain has stead
lily refused to recognize these consular
agents, and consequently that Mr.. Thomp-
son had no legal right to place an official
designation, such as the arms of the re-
public, over his door. An unrecognized
official agent of a foreign government,
however he may be permitted to perform
his duties unnoticed, has no right to the
open display of his official insignia

The reader will observe that of the
twelve districts given above, eight contain
slaves the number, however, in three OF
these being very small. 1t is probable
that the five districts omitted are those
containing no slaves. Still, the figures
given seem to indicate that the majority OF
the first Legislature of Kanzas territory is
very likely to be pro-slavery. In one Of
the districts settled by Missourians, the
census taken gave only the population ac-
tu.lly there, which did not seem satisfac-
tory to the Missourians. They sent over
into Platte county, Mo-, got large list OF
names of those who intended to vote at
the Kansas election if permitted, and wan
ted that included in the census, which, OF
course, was not one. The rush of emf
grants to Kansas and Nebraska is aston
lshing. The Pittsburg Commercial Jour-
nal finds, on enquiry of the steamboat
agents in that city, that about two thous-
and emigrants have sailed thence in steam
ers, for the territories named, and steam
ers are leaving daily with large loads. This
statement is confirmed by the St. Louis
papers, which say that the boats from the
Ohio river all arrive crowded with emf
grants for Kansas and Nebraska, and they
rush for the Missouri river boats as long
as they can find accommodations on them.
One thousand emigrants arrived in st.
Louis in one day At Chicago, eleven
hundred more were waiting for trains to
convey them through. 1t seems probable
that the number ofpersons who have gone
thither since the opening of navigation,
exceeds the whole number of inhabitants
previously in the territory. At this rate
it will take but a single season to prepare
the territoay of Kansas for admission as

NEBRASKA TERRIToRY.-The Legisla-

NEBRASKA TERMroRY.-The Legisla-
ture of this newly organized settlement is
said to be glaringly corrupt, the majority
the members selling their votes to those
who pay them best for the location of
county seats, the arrangement Of coun-
ties, charters for ferries, bridges and all
sorts of companies, etc. A vote for q
county seat is paid for in lots, and vote
for corporation charters in stock, or its
equivalent But this is not all the cor
ruption practiSed, for it seems that the
Indian troubles, recently reported were
gotten up for the purpose of carrying thro'
the Legislature military bill, whereby
some of the schemers could be rewarded
with military appointments. This has
succeeded perfectly; but, nevertheless,
the regiments thus raised will serve a very
useful purpose in assuring protection along

RoBLERr.-On Saturday night, as we
were in a state room Of the Queen City
bound for Sacramento, We were awaken ed
by movement and alteration in the
room. A person dressed like deck hand
had entered the room, observed by our
room mate, Mr.. Houston, of Marysville,
,rho made a grab for the intruder The
Latter stated he was searching for David
HASKELL" whom he was to call, and was
allowed to depart, under the impression
he was desiruus to call an expressman.-
II few moments we heard similar
scene in a state-room farther forward, and
the same voice remarked from the guards
apparently to some one, Il have been in
the rooms, and can't find him." In the
morning we learned that Mr.. Brett, of
Mary.ville, who with his wife occupied a
stale room farther at, was robbed of his
watch and coat. The theft was undoub-
tedly b. the author of the disturbances
Eamed. He entered from the guards BY
the door OF that side of the state rooms.

with the confirmation.
On the day of our arrival at Stockton tie
municipal election was in progress, ard ere
ated much excitement. Carriages decora tel
with flags, and bearing the names of candidates
were buslly rafting through the streets, to
bring up tagging voters to the polls. Th.

REvoL UTIoN One of our eastern ex-

entertainment in the evening, when about
l4O gentlemen assembled in spacious

Salutes were fired, and many hearty con-
gratulations were exchanged at this COM
plete and unexpected victory The occa-
sion is represented as one of great rejoic-

setting fire to the room under the Hall.
