this age of faction and isms the noble specta-
Gle of great party standing firm and I'M
yielding, without regard to sections, upon a
high constitutional principle While our friends
stand thus proudly upon principle and patriot
ism, they needpay no attention to the earnings
which would hold them responsible for the
organization of the House of Representa-.
tives Adherence to their principles is mat
ter not to be sacrificed to fancied or real tenn
porary expediency. Out of pa members of

Democracy be held responsible for the action
of the House, when the opposition is more
than two to one against them?

| 1t has been but short time since the word,
Cuba, was on every lip. 1t is now scarcely ever
heard. Why is this SO? Is Cuba less desira-
BILE to us than she was twelve months ago
or have we been intimidated by the menaces OF
England and FranceF
Cuba, certainly, has not changed her geo.
graphical position. She has not become less
important to us in commercial point of view.
Her people are not less ardent in their earnest
aspirations after liberty, nor is she less OPP
pressed by despotic old Spain.
We fear that the too moderate course Of
our Government in regard to Cuba has done
much to delay the acquisition of that Island,
and when we say so, we wish it to be distinctly
understood that we do not alude to its acqui-
sition by means of Fillibustering enterprises.
We desire TO acquire Cuba by right, honest,
legitimate means.
But few months have passed since all Of
us looked forward to the acquisition of Cuba
as thing likely to occur in short time. In
deed, the people at the North, South, East, and
West, ardently desired it. But we are con-
strained to believe now, taking the Presidents
message as our guide, that the acquisition Of
that island is an exploded idea. All that the
message says on tho subject is;
"with Spain, peaceful relations are still
| maintained, and some progress has been made
in securing the redress of wrongs complained
of by this Government. Spain has not only
disavowed and disapproved the canduct Of the
officers who illegally seized and detained the
steamer Black Warrior at Havana, but has
| also paid the sum claimed as indemnity for the
loss thereby inflicted on citizens of the United
States.
ain consequence Of a destructive hurricane,
| which visited Cuba in 1874, the supreme au-
thority Of that island issued decree, permit
ting the importation, for the period of six
months, of certain building materials and pro-
| visions, free Of duty, but revoked it when about
| half the period ouly had elapsed, to the injury
of citizens of the United States, who had pro-
| ceeded TO act on the faith Of that decree. The
Spanish government refused indemn6cation to
the parties aggrieved until recently, when it
was assented to, payment being promised to be
made so soon as the amount due can be ascer-
tanned.
"Satisfaction claimed for the arrest and
search Of the steamer Ell Dorado has not yet
| been accorded, but there is reason to believe
that it will be, and that case, with others, con-
tinues to be urged on the attention Of the
Spanish government / do not abandon the
aope Of concluding with Spain some general
arrangement, which, if it do not wholly prevent
the recurrence of difficulties in Cuba, will rem
der them less frequent; and whenever they shall
occur, facilitate their moree speedy settle
ment.n

Foot-Prints OF Reptiles I'm the Coal
Strata OF PennsyIvania.

Strata OF Pennsylvania.
At the October meeting of the Boston So
ciety of Natural History, Professor Wyman
read an article on the footprints recently dis
covered in the coal strata of Pennsylvania.
The Boston Traveller Of the 23d says:
Prof. Jeffries Wyman read a part of a me-
moir on the foot prints discovered by Professor
Henry d. Rogers in the carboniferous strata
of Pennsylvania. wide proceedings of meet
ing of April 4th, 1862 He gave an analysis
of the anatomical characters by which reptiles
and fishes are distinguished from each other,
and attempted to demonstrate that, although
there are but few characters which, taken by
themselves, are Of absolute value, yet when
the combinations Of characters, which exist in
any given instance, are considered, there can
be but little room for doubt as to the true
geological afinities.
"There exist no known forms of recent or
fossil reptiles or fishes, which, where all their
astrological details are known, cannot be re-
ferred unequivocally to one or the other of
these classes. A comparison of the Ichthyoid
reptiles and sauroid fishes shows, that although
it is through them that the two classes APP
proach nearest to each other, yet there are no
forms SO completely intermediate as to bridge
over the space that separates them.
"He made comparison between the form
and structure of reptiles and the fins of fishes,
showing that although they resemble each other
as regards their functions, yet morphologically
they are always distinct. There is no known
fish, recent or fossil, the pectoral or vental
fins of which could produce series of tracks
like those discovered in the coal strata OF
Pennsylvania, by Mr.. Lea and Prof. Rogers.
Although among Lophioid fishes the pee
toral fms are used for locomotion on the shores
yet they in every instance conform to the fish
type-are fms and not feet. An analogous
condition of things is found among cetaccean
and marine saurians, where the limbs serve the
purpose Of paddles, and may be compared to
fms, yet morphologically they can be referred
only TO the mammalian or reptalian types.
Professor Wyman therefore thought that,
in the present state of knowledge, there was no
ground for denying that the quadrupedai tracks
found in the coal formations were made by
reptiles"
